The Spanish troops, who were tasked with coastal defense, immediately dispatched and rushed towards the beach, and at this time the first landing echelon led by Shi Qiang ...... The Avengers Company has already begun to grab the beach.

Originally, the distance between every two arrow warships was 50 meters, and the interval between the entire unit was only 600 meters, so after going ashore, a company could quickly assemble and concentrate its forces to expand in depth, but at this time, this interval became more than 2,000 meters, and then the formation operation was not possible.

Therefore, before the troops set out, Wei Zelong instructed them that after they went ashore, they should give full play to the characteristics of our army's flexible structure, use combat groups as combat forms, boldly intersperse within the enemy army, and annihilate the enemy's vital forces.

Under the guidance of this operational policy, Shi Qiang did not assemble the Avenger Company after going ashore, but charged directly into the depth, just in time to meet the Spaniards' troops.

Because there were many places to land on Corregido Island, the Spanish troops did not build defensive positions on the beachhead, and the two sides became a battle as soon as they met, and there was no room for tricks, the Spanish troops occupied the woods, and Shi Qiang and others hid behind the rocks on the beach and launched a confrontation.

The Spaniards invested 3,000 troops on Corregido Island, of which 1,500 were responsible for guarding the coast, and their total strength was more than the landing force invested by Lin Fei, so the troops invested in the local battlefield were also more than Lin Fei's, and there were more than 70 people in front of Shi Qiang.

Shi Qiang and the others were gradually overwhelmed by the enemy's bullets and couldn't raise their heads, Shi Qiang looked at the Spanish soldiers in the woods, thinking that it would not work if he didn't fight, Shi Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Concentrate the grenades on me..."

Everyone handed the grenade to Shi Qiang, Shi Qiang took out the canvas bag, put the grenade in, shouted "cover", and then crawled through the woods from behind the rock, it was exactly 4:10 in the morning, the darkest time before dawn, so the Spaniards did not notice a person crawling over like a snake.

Shi Qiang climbed to a place more than fifty meters outside the woods, took out a grenade, bit out the lead, and threw it at the woods...... Eighty meters, you must know that only ordinary people can throw thirty meters ...

The grenades flew into the woods one by one, crashed into the woods and exploded, and shrapnel shot into the bodies of the Spanish soldiers, killing and wounding countless people for a while, and the Spaniards were instantly blown up.

The grenade has a great advantage, that is, there is no fire and no sound when throwing, and it is extremely hidden, and the Spaniards did not find Shi Qiang, they only felt that there were grenades flying in the dark, and everyone had a different sense of fear in their hearts.

The Spaniards involuntarily retreated backwards, and the deputy company commander who remained behind the bunker heard the weakening of the gunfire and waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me..."

They were supposed to blow the trumpet, but unfortunately the trumpeters were on other boats, so there was no way but to roar with their voices, the deputy company commander jumped out of cover first after shouting, and rushed into the woods, and the other soldiers followed, Shi Qiang saw the brothers rushing up, put away the grenades, and rushed up, killing into the woods and starting hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Spanish soldiers have been trained for a period of time, they have not been trained to fight, and they have a natural deficiency compared to Lin Fei's troops, that is, they fight for money and pleasure, while Lin Fei's soldiers are for the liberation of the Chinese and the rejuvenation of the nation, and it is self-evident which army will have a tenacious will to fight.

Hand-to-hand combat was the most desperate battle will, and the Spanish soldiers were completely defeated at this point, so they did not have much time to lose the battle and run deeper into the woods.

At 4:20 a.m., the Avengers Company broke through the defense line of the Coast Guard and entered the island, and they quickly marched to the battery on the west side of the island.

At 4:25, the small detachment led by Shi Qiang first approached the No. 4 battery, the Spanish army defended the battery quite tightly, dug trenches around the high ground where the battery was located, and deployed a large number of defensive troops, and the defending troops opened fire when they encountered Lin Fei's troops, and then reported the news of the attack on the battery to Maxwell.

Maxwell heard that the coast guard could not stop Lin Fei's troops, and he was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while, but he quickly stabilized his mind, and he secretly thought in his heart, as long as we can hold out until dawn, our coastal defense heavy artillery can inflict a destructive blow to the landing ship placed by the Chinese Imperial troops on the beachhead, and can also prevent the follow-up troops from landing on the island, and then the landing force of the Chinese Empire will become a lone army isolated on the island, and we can fight as much as we want...

Maxwell directly called the commander-in-chief of the battery and ordered categorically: "You must hold on to me until dawn..."

The commander-in-chief of the battery looked at the time, there were still thirty-five minutes before dawn, so he said confidently: "Please rest assured, Commander, there are ten of our battery positions, and I don't believe that the Chinese pigs can take down these ten batteries within thirty-five minutes..."

Maxwell smiled proudly, at this time he didn't know that against the Spaniards' battery position, Lin Fei had already found a killer feature...

After the Avengers rushed to the island, the 4th Regiment in charge of the landing mission also went to the island and attacked in depth, at this time the heavy artillery in the battery stopped firing, because now the focus of the battlefield is to defend the battery, and the artillery attack is no longer important.

Shi Qiang tentatively attacked the No. 4 battery, and found that the enemy's defense was extremely strict, and he could not move at all, so he could only retreat into the woods, at this time, the second company of the third battalion of the fourth regiment rushed over, and joined forces with Shi Qiang, Shi Qiang pointed to the trenches around the distant fort and said to Meng Dongguo, the commander of the second company: "The enemy's trenches are too difficult to fight, how can we fight?" ”

Meng Dongguo said with a smile: "It is said that the artillery battalion of our brigade will be dispatched to assist us in attacking the battery. ”

Shi Qiang asked in surprise: "Are you sure that the artillery battalion assisting us is the first artillery battalion under our second brigade?" Not an artillery regiment directly under His Majesty? ”

The officer nodded, Shi Qiang sighed, and said, "How can those 60mm mortars hit the enemy's trenches?" ”

The officer said confidently: "Anyway, His Majesty said that he could be impressed, that is, he could be impressed." ”

The two were talking, and suddenly a soldier ran over from a distance and said, "Company commander, the artillery is coming..." The two hurriedly went to greet them, only to see a group of people coming from a distance, these people did not hold guns in their hands, but they all carried a lot of things, and the first officer looked at Shi Qiang, and then looked at Meng Dongguo, and asked: "Which of you is the chief officer here?" ”

Shi Qiang and Meng Dongguo were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and were embarrassed to say that they were the chief officer, and the artillery officer said: "The front is the enemy's battery, I brought two HP-1 mortars, let's use these two mortars to take down this battery." ”

Shi Qiang stuck out his tongue and said: "Brother artillery, let's not talk nonsense, the enemy's trenches surround the high ground, and there are many people in it, can you fight it with just two mortars?" ”

The artillery officer smiled and said, "Our fighting style was taught by His Majesty himself, how can we not fight?" Time is pressing, without further ado, I'm going to assemble the mortar. ”

After the officer finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Start assembling." "Some of the artillerymen took off the tubes, seat plates, brackets, and other things from their backs and assembled them into artillery, while the other part of the artillerymen took out the shells they were carrying, put them on the ground, and dismantled the safety one by one.

Although Shi Qiang didn't understand the matter of mortar shooting, he also saw that the artillery officer adjusted the muzzle of the cannon very high, so that the shell would definitely not hit the Spanish soldier's trench, but would hit the mountain above the trench.

Shi Qiang didn't dare to ask more, and quietly watched the officer's actions, and the officer quickly said to his subordinate soldiers: "Aim is complete, launch..."

A soldier picked up a mortar shell and put it into the launch tube, only to hear a "boom", a sharp whistling rushed towards the mountain, and then an explosion sounded on the mountain above the trench, and a cloud of smoke rose.

Shi Qiang's heart moved, and he secretly thought that the shell really didn't hit the trench, and the officer should have adjusted the angle of fire of the mortar, right? However, the officer did not mean to adjust at all, but said in a loud voice: "Rapid fire..."

The loader quickly loaded the shells into the barrel, and one after another screams flew out of the gun, and clouds of smoke bloomed on the mountain, Shi Qiang finally couldn't help it, and asked the artillery officer: "Brother, can it be useful if you blow up the mountain and not in the trench?" ”

The artillery officer smiled and said: "When collecting intelligence on the enemy, you found that the mountains where the batteries are located are all stone mountains, this kind of mountain has a characteristic, when the shells explode on it, the stones will collapse down, the speed of these stones is very fast, hitting people is like flying knives, you can see when you rush up, how did the Spanish soldiers in the trenches die?" ”

It turned out that this was Lin Fei's killer weapon to deal with the defenders of the fort, and this matter was very secret, so Lin Fei only told his artillery officers, and the other troops only knew that His Majesty would send artillery to assist in the attack.

The artillery officer said to Shi Qiang: "We have hit a lot of shells, you should be able to rush up, after rushing up, occupy the gun position, don't destroy the coastal defense heavy artillery inside, we will keep it useful." ”

Shi Qiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the use of keeping them?" ”

The artillery officer said with a smile: "The fourth battery is between ten batteries, we occupy this battery, and we can use the heavy artillery inside to bombard the other batteries..."

Shi Qiang asked in surprise: "You can also use the Spaniards' coastal defense heavy artillery?" ”

The artillery officer smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I will." ”
