Chapter 492: Battle of Manila (4)

Li Ming stood on the position of the third line of defense in southern Manila, holding a telescope to observe the situation of the European coalition forces on the opposite side. The Eight-Nation Coalition had set up a huge barracks across the position, where the troops of the East India Companies of several countries, as well as a large number of European mercenaries, were stationed.

This morning, the defensive line was calm and the opposition did not organize the attack as usual. Suddenly, there was a dense burst of gunfire in the distance, Li Ming looked at his watch, and said with a smile: "Old Qiao, they are fast enough, it seems that they have begun to grab the beach......

A staff officer next to him shouted excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, the first and second attack fleets have successfully seized the beach, and are organizing troops to land. ”

Li Ming nodded, and then said to Ye Changsheng behind him, "Let's start......

Ye Changsheng saluted, then turned around and left. After a while, three red flares suddenly rose.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

There was a buzzing sound in the distance, and two Cessna 208 planes took off from Manila Airport first, whistling over the position of the third line of defense. The two planes shook their wings in a loud manner, causing the officers and men of the Far East on the positions to cheer loudly.

This was followed by two helicopters, and finally six delta-wing aircraft, all of which skimmed over the positions of the third line of defense at ultra-low altitudes.

Li Ming looked at the group of machines whizzing away, and picked up the microphone. He said: "Ding Weiguo, knock out the white-skinned artillery position for me first, when the assault troops attack, I don't want to see the enemy's artillery fire." ”

Ding Weiguo laughed and said: "Please rest assured commander-in-chief, the air force unit will guarantee the completion of the task." ”

He ended the call with Li Ming and shouted excitedly into the headset: "Two teams of the delta-wing fleet are responsible for the enemy's artillery positions. It must be wiped out cleanly and thoroughly, and when the main force attacks, if the white-skinned artillery can still open fire. Don't come back, we can't afford to lose that guy in the Air Force. ”

"Please rest assured, commander, promise to complete the mission."

Ding Weiguo laughed and said, "Brothers, get ready to work......

At the Manila Military Port, two D-30 howitzers on the battery, and more than a dozen gunners were also busy nervously. An officer in the command platoon kept shouting all kinds of artillery to shoot Zhu Yuan. The two artillery non-commissioned officers were also shouting various orders loudly, and when the two heavy guns were ready, with an order, the two guns opened fire violently, the huge cannon body shook violently, and the endless dust and smoke next to the guns were stirred up.

Six jeeps, ten KAMAZ military trucks roared out from behind the lines. The engineering units had been in front of the position overnight, opening the way for the attacking troops, and all the vehicles crossed the trench with ease. Two overseas brigades of the Far Eastern Army, one brigade of the Death Army. also followed behind the convoy and pressed towards the camp of the European coalition forces on the opposite side.

The military meeting of the eight-nation coalition forces in Europe continued today, and everyone finally reached a consensus, that is, it is necessary to break through the third line of defense in Manila in the Far East in a short period of time, and as long as Manila is occupied, the price will be worth it.

Fell, the senior commercial representative of the Dutch East India Company, said excitedly to everyone: "Gentlemen, according to the information received by our intelligence officers, the warehouses in Manila are full of high-end luxury goods from the Far East. There are also countless silks, porcelain, as long as Manila is occupied. These things are ours. We will set up a joint company in Manila, and all of you here will be the original shareholders of this company.

Gentlemen, as long as we defeat the Far East, it means that we will get the whole East, and then we will be able to control the economies of the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and the countries of Southeast Asia, like the Far East Company. Earn untold wealth. We returned to Europe on merchant ships laden with Far Eastern luxuries, where the king would honour us, be honored by the nobles, and the ladies would line up to sleep with us. ”

His words made the European whites in the room laugh, and their faces flushed with excitement from Fair's words. All want to kuài to capture Manila. Seeing that the morale was good, Crassie added fuel to the fire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Manila, Chinese businessmen from the Ming Dynasty, and wealthy people from Southeast Asia, all of whom have now chosen to settle in Manila, as well as a large number of shops and warehouses in the port area, which occupy Manila, and these things are also ours. By the way, there are thousands of beautiful women from all over the world in Manila's leisure and entertainment area, haha......"

After Crassy finished speaking, the European whiteskins burst into laughter again.

Suddenly, there was a dense burst of gunfire in the distance, and the room suddenly fell silent, and Crassie turned his head to the adjutant behind him and said, "Go and see what's going on?" Where did the gunshots come from? ”

Fell asked with a gloomy face, "General, I think the gunshots seem to be coming from the seaside." ”

Crassy nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it seems that the fleet has discovered something......"

At this time, there was chaos in the barracks, and an officer ran in and shouted in a panic: "Sir, something seems to be flying in the air......

Hearing this, Fell and Crassie hurriedly ran out of the tent, and the others also ran out with a huh. When they reached the edge of the camp, they saw something flying in the distance and a buzzing sound.

Clasea shouted with a solemn face: "Musketeers...... Musketeers, line up ......"

The European mercenaries next to him hurriedly lined up in a loose formation with arquebuses and aimed at the air. They nervously looked at the things that were getting closer and closer, completely unaware of the origin of these things, but the mercenaries who had been through a hundred battles still felt a little uneasy from them.

Finally, two things like big birds flew over the camp first, and Cracy shouted, "Shoot ......"

"Bang...... Bang ......"

Hundreds of arquebuses burst into fire, and a dense burst of lead bullets covered the two large birds, but they clearly did not grasp the timing, and the two large birds flew whistling over their heads, and the dense lead bullets were shot into the sky.

Two black objects staggered down from under the two big birds, and the European white-skinned eyes in the camp watched as two things fell from the sky and landed in the crowd.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Two black objects exploded in the crowd of the camp, making two earth-shattering loud noises, and Fell felt that he was being pushed hard by a huge force, and his body flew up with it, and fell heavily on the ground in the distance.

I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the buzzing sound.

Phil saw that the more than 100 mercenary musketeers who had just lined up to shoot in the air had disappeared. All that was left was minced flesh and severed limbs all over the floor, and there was a bright red color painted everywhere.

He was lucky, he stood far away, only to be hit by the explosion of the air wave, but also fell badly, he shouted loudly, but the people around him seemed to be stunned, one by one confused and stunned, looking at the drastic changes around him. (To be continued......)
