Ye Changsheng came to the war room of the garrison headquarters, and several staff officers had already hung up the map, and they had been in contact with the base of the riot mining area through the Guò radio station. Ye Changsheng walked to the side of the radio station, picked up the microphone and said loudly: "I am Ye Changsheng." ”

"Commander, I'm Li Laogen, the natives here suddenly went crazy tonight, killed the natives and foreign soldiers around them, and then made a fuss. When I arrived at the mine with the soldiers in the platoon, the situation was out of control. Thousands of natives had rushed out of the mining area with various tools, and in order to avoid casualties in the dark situation, I had to gather my team and use the terrain of the base to defend to the death.

According to several soldiers of the Foreign Legion, the natives seemed to have someone to help, and they found that there seemed to be a lot of people in the natives who used arquebuses. However, because it was too dark and the specific situation was not understood, not a single foreign platoon on duty in the mining area escaped. More than 10,000 people have gathered outside the base, and it is estimated that the nearby natives have also participated in the riot, and several companies of the Foreign Legion guarding there have lost contact. ”

Listening to Li Laogen's words, Ye Changsheng's face suddenly became solemn. He also felt that something was wrong, there was no light at night in the indigenous camp in the mining area, although only a platoon of foreign soldiers was released, but the lights were blind, how did the indigenous people organize. This was clearly premeditated, and the problem might have been with the Foreign Legionnaire or the Native foreman. There must be someone who should be on the outside and inside the mining area, otherwise how can thousands of natives have that ability.

Ye Changsheng said to Li Laogen: "Li Laogen, can you hold out until tomorrow?" ”

"Please rest assured that the base has two heavy machine guns, sufficient ammunition and food, as well as more than 300 foreign soldiers and a reinforced platoon of fighters. Even tens of thousands of natives don't want to break through the base. If it weren't for the fact that it was dark. I've already gone out with my team. ”

"Li Laogen, from now on, you have to pay attention to the foreign soldiers under your command, I suspect that some of them may have a problem. You're going to keep your eyes open and you're going to have to hold on until tomorrow morning. I don't think it's that simple, and now our sea power is extremely thin. I'm afraid something will happen tonight. So I can't easily mobilize the defenders of Manila to come to the rescue. ”

"Commander, don't worry, I know more about the foreign soldiers here, and I will immediately redeploy to ensure that there will be no problems tonight."

Ye Changsheng put down the microphone, took out a cigarette with a solemn face, took a hard breath, and then shouted to the staff officer next to him: "Record the order and notify all troops to enter the first level of combat readiness tonight." All leave cancellations. Batangas's Rhino Brigade left a battalion to guard the base, and the brigade headquarters and its two battalions stationed there, as well as their direct troops, marched overnight and made sure to reach Manila by 3 a.m.

The rest of the troops stood by and defended the base camp, and those who dared to approach the base were killed. Company and platoon units stationed in various mining areas must strictly screen foreign soldiers under their subordinates. If necessary, they will be disarmed and detained, and those who resist will be summarily executed. If there is any change in the indigenous people in the mining area, it should be quickly suppressed. If the situation is strict, it will be strictly guarded at the nearest base, and it must be held out until dawn tomorrow. ”

The people in the war room were all stunned when they heard Ye Changsheng's order. Ye Changsheng said: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and convey the order." ”

Only then did a group of people respond loudly, and the entire headquarters suddenly became busy. The political commissar looked at Ye Changsheng, who had a solemn expression, and asked worriedly, "Old Ye." Do you think something is going to happen tonight? ”

Ye Changsheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think it's a pirate again, and it's an indigenous rebellion, which is too coincidental." There is a problem with the indigenous riots in the Infanta mining area. I always feel like there's someone behind me. If it's okay tonight, that's fine, if anything. Then the other party can only have one purpose, and that is Manila. ”

He picked up the microphone again and informed the Second Guerrilla Fleet stationed in Kaguhiran to send ships to patrol the waters near Infanta, where he felt that there might be a problem.

As soon as he put down the microphone, the communications corps received reports from several mining areas on Luzon Island, where the natives had also rioted. Because of the dark weather, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, the garrison troops chose to stick to the base of the mining area.

This is also a response to the explosion-proof plan formulated by the Luzon Command, because the number of troops stationed in the mining area is very small, so the Luzon Garrison Command requires the troops in the mining area to do a good job in the defense of the base first in a complex environment such as at night, and then wait for the support of the large army.

Ye Changsheng knew that the matter was big, and he asked all the troops in the mining area to stick to the base tonight and hold out until dawn tomorrow. Then I hurried to the meeting site of the management committee. He reported his previous judgment to the Standing Committee members and members attending the meeting.

"You may think I'm alarmist, but I trust my judgment. At present, the company is accepting migrants in the waters of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and most of the company's shipping forces are gathering there. Suffice it to say, now that Luzon's defenses are at their most vulnerable, we must not be careless. Luzon currently has two overseas brigades, each stationed in various parts of Luzon.

Manila has only two battalions of the Overseas Brigade, more than 2,000 Chinese armed police, two coastal defense battalions and some support units. The strength of the Luzon Coast Guard is also very weak at present, and pirates have been discovered in the waters west of Luzon today, and most of the forces of two cutting-edge sailing ships and four guerrilla fleets on combat readiness duty have set out for the waters southwest of Luzon today to suppress pirates. Now Manila does not have any warships, except for a dozen or so offshore deck barges. ”

Everyone listened to him, and they all fell silent. Xiao Hanguang thought for a while and said, "Then tell me what you think, what are you going to do?" ”

Ye Changsheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My idea is to immediately impose a state of emergency in Manila, and impose martial law and curfew in the urban area. Control all foreign merchants in the city, restrict their travel, and shoot them on the spot if they find anything unusual. Overnight, Chinese people from villages and towns on the outskirts of Manila were transported to urban Manila for resettlement. Arm the Chinese reserve militia in the city, distribute musket ammunition, and set up defensive positions in various parts of Manila to defend Manila.

Recall all ships in the nearby waters and let them return overnight to return to Manila as quickly as possible. Send a telegram to the board of directors of the company and request the company's support. Before coming here, I had already given an order to all the troops in Luzon to implement combat readiness at the first level. And let the Rhino Brigade headquarters stationed in Batangas and its two subordinate brigades rush to Manila overnight. Strengthen Manila's guards. (To be continued......) R527
