Liu Jun actually knows better than anyone else.?? Huo Ranwen ???.? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? The battle of E?n?'org Linshan was the battle that decided the situation in the South Seas.

"You're right. If we want to occupy Nanyang, the Battle of Linshan is the key to this campaign. ”

Well, Zheng Yiqian, who heard this, nodded, and then set her eyes on Nanyang Lin Mountain.

Nanyang, on the battleship Hongzhang. Li Hezheng picked up the teacup in his hand and looked at the landing site in the distance.

The beach now, according to an hour's count, has been concentrated with nearly 20,000 horses, and now, these horses are gathering on the outskirts of Manila, preparing to attack Manila.

"Report, capital telegram." A staff officer walked up to Li He and handed out the telegram in his hand.

The telegram in the capital, Li He, who heard this, opened it and looked at it, this is the telegram transferred to Duan Qirui, but now Duan Qirui has gone to the beach.

Duan Qirui was an impatient person, and yesterday afternoon, just after going up to the strength of a division, he had not yet expanded three kilometers forward, and he hurriedly moved to the land with his headquarters.

To use Duan Qirui's excuse, he was seasick and had to be on land to be sure.

But Li He knows better than anyone else that he is really a seasick person, and he can't eat food, but Duan Qirui, since he came here, he has to eat three bowls of one meal a day. That's not all, the rest has to eat nearly half a catty of meat.

If Duan Qirui is seasick, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a seasick person.

: Let's go, let's go see Duan Qirui. After folding the message and putting it in his pocket, Li He said to Yan Fu in front of him.

On the beach, Duan Qirui was buttoning a steel helmet on his head. At this moment, he was crawling in front of the map, thinking about the attack plan against the map of Manila.

The current situation of Manila City, he has a clear understanding, the troops are concentrated in the north gate, after all, the north gate is the easiest place to attack, and the east gate, the city wall is too high, not conducive to attack. To the west, there is a moat.

It seems that he is still going to attack the north gate, thinking of this, Duan Qirui pointed to the map and said to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Qing in front of him: "I think the location of the attack will be placed at the north gate, what do you think?" ”

North Gate, North Gate has the largest number of troops, nearly 15,000 people, attacking from here, is it the wrong place to choose, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Qing, who heard this, looked at the map, and they didn't know what Duan Qirui meant by this.

"Although the north gate has a large number of troops, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to a large-scale army attack, and our naval artillery can also bombard the north gate." Before Zhang Qing and Zhang Zuolin could speak, outside the headquarters, Li He's voice had already sounded.

Yes, hearing Li He's words, Duan Qirui immediately nodded, he really thought so.

Although the North Gate has a large number of troops, it is conducive to attacking, and its own artillery regiment can attack the North Gate, and the ships on the sea can also attack it.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Li He walk in, Duan Qirui asked.

I can't come, Li He's face darkened when he heard this, and then he took out the telegram from his coat pocket and said: "Dashuai telegram, let us occupy Manila immediately, and then prepare for the Battle of Linshan." ”

In the Battle of Linshan, as soon as the people present heard this, they immediately shifted their eyes to Linshan.

Where is the main battlefield.

"Call back, we will launch an attack on Manila at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Duan Qirui, who thought about it for a while, immediately said.

Nanyang, the Governor's Palace, the current Governor's Mansion has no peace from the previous few days, and at this moment, the personnel of the Governor's Mansion are panicking. Wandering east and west.

In the Governor's Palace, the smell of burning paper kept coming out, this was Hu Langge dealing with important documents.

Manila can't hold it, this Hu Lang Pavilion has clearly understood.

Since yesterday, he had received 20,000 horses from the Holy Chinese Empire that had landed, and he immediately understood that Manila could not hold it.

Since it could no longer be held, Hu Langge did not plan to wait for death here, so early this morning, Hu Langge issued an order to evacuate and move the governor's mansion to Linshan.

Now, the entire Doge's Palace is the voice of migrating voices.

"Governor, it's all burned out." After placing the last document in the brazier, the adjutant stood up and said to Hu Langge.

After the burn was over, Hu Langge, who heard this, took another look at the office that had accompanied him for many years, and then picked up the hat next to him and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Bobby, the commander of the Third Army, standing in front of the gate waiting for him.

Bobby is now the commander of the city defense of Manila, originally, the commander of the city defense of Manila should be him Hill, but Hill led the second army into the dense forest, and now his life and death are unknown, so Hu Langge can only let Bobby take command.

Bobby can't compare to Hill, but in the current situation, Hu Langge is not qualified to find fault at all.

"Your Excellency?" As soon as Bobby spoke, Hu Langge interrupted him.

He knew what Bobby was trying to ask.

The thing Bobby asked about was how long the guards were.

Now here, only the Third Army plus a division for a total attack of 35,000 men, moreover, these forces do not have many heavy weapons, only thirty field guns. The rest of the weapons, Hu Langge, have been transferred to Lin Mountain.

"After three days, you can evacuate." Hu Langge, who lowered his head and thought about it for a while, expressed his opinion.

Three days is the minimum deadline for Hu Langge's Bobby, and it is also the deadline that must be adhered to, after all, Lin Shan, in the past, has to adjust again.

He calculated that three days later, after Manila was occupied, immediately after, the army commanded by Duan Qirui would occupy the area around Manila, and then maintain law and order, and when these things were completed, the rest would be to advance to Linshan, and in between, there would be an interval of almost half a month, half a month, and he would have enough time to arm.

Originally, Hu Langge planned to let Bobby guard for a week, that is, seven days, but he knew that not to mention letting Bobby guard for seven days, even if it was himself, he would not be able to complete it.

Therefore, he gave Bobby a very reasonable amount of time, which was three days, after which Bobby could lead his troops out of here and then join the main force. Prepare to fight to the death with Duan Qirui in Lin Shan.

When Bobby heard that it was three days, he was immediately relieved, since he took over as commander of Manila yesterday, he was afraid that it would be more than five days, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

He didn't have the confidence to keep it for a week, and he was sure that it was five days, but now, the time limit given by the governor was very appropriate. (To be continued.) )
