Lin Fei set the military rank to three grades and ten levels, the third rank is general, colonel, and captain, and the ten grades are generals: general, lieutenant general, and major general; Officers: Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major; Lieutenants: Captain, Lieutenant, Ensign.

Lin Fei did not implement the rank system at this time, because there was a war at this time, and there were no conditions for the implementation of the rank system, so Lin Fei decided to wait until the end of the war to implement the rank system.

Lin Fei also commended the participating troops, among which the Avenger Company was particularly prominent, because they were not only the first troops to attack Corregidor Island, but also made great achievements in the operation of expanding in depth, so Lin Fei officially awarded them the title of "Avenger Company".

At this time, Lin Fei's troops already had three units that enjoyed honorary titles, namely the "First Meritorious Engineer Company" that blew up the city wall in the Battle of Cotabatar, the "First Company of Great Merit" that attacked the city first, and the "Avenger Company" that stood out in the Battle of Corregido Island.

In the army of Lin Fei's era, there are many ace companies, these ace companies are not special forces, but ordinary combat troops, the survival of these troops, enhance the training enthusiasm and sense of honor of the soldiers, Lin Fei came to this era, but also in his own troops to establish a trump card company, "great merit company" and "avenger company" is the initial attempt.

After two days of rest, at 8 o'clock in the morning on June 6, Lin Fei led the troops to march to Cavite on the south side of Manila, Cavite is an important city in the south of Manila, only more than 30 kilometers away from Manila, is the gateway to the south of Manila, the military value is extremely high, in history, the Dutch and the British have fought with the Spaniards for Manila, without exception, they are the first to fight Cavite, and then attack Manila.

Krabi covers an area of 1,297 square kilometers, surrounded by the sea of Manila Bay on the east, west and north, and is connected to Luzon Island in the south, so it can also be said that Krabi is a peninsula with forts built by the Spaniards, but these forts are not the kind that Lin Fei has been worried about, the forts that Lin Fei is worried about are located around Manila, and the forts on Krabi are made of stone and clay, which belong to the old-fashioned fortifications.

Lin Fei led the Tianlong ship, the Yunlong ship, the Nuwa ship, and more than 20 landing ships approached Cavite, and the 20 landing ships were loaded with the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, according to the information sent by Wang Yao, the Spanish defenders in Cavite had three battalions, a total of 1,500 people, all of whom were guarding the fortress, not equipped with Makqin heavy machine guns, and no artillery.

The fortress faced the sea, and Lin Fei could clearly see it on the Tianlong ship, and he said to Liu Daming: "Send a light signal to the fleet and strike at the fortress according to the plan." ”

Liu Daming sent a signal, and the three battleships immediately lined up on the sea, using cannonballs to bombard the fortress of the Spaniards, the shells smashed on the fortress, the stones flew sideways, and some of the shells also pierced the fortress and exploded inside, the Spanish defenders were beaten in a hurry, and after sending a message to the governor of Sanders, they fled in a wolf, in fact, the defensive battle of Manila should be commanded by Brigadier General Racheno, but Raceno repeatedly failed in the battle with Lin Fei, and the governor of Saunders seized his power and commanded it personally.

Lin Fei saw in the telescope that the fortresses made of stone were crumbling, and the Spanish soldiers fled, and immediately ordered the army under his command to launch a landing attack, and the army's transport ships quickly rushed to the sea, and the infantry got off the ships and attacked the land.

Lin Fei planned to use Krabi as the command center for attacking Manila, so the landing force began a series of preparations after landing on the island, the engineer company built a temporary command post for Lin Fei, and the sixth regiment also occupied Krabi City, and then the fourth and fifth regiments also landed one after another, and built a defensive position near Cavite.

A few hours later, at 3 p.m. on June 6, Lin Fei's temporary command post had been built, and Lin Fei handed over the command of the fleet to Liu Daming, personally went ashore, and entered the temporary command post in Cavite.

The temporary command post is located on the commanding heights of Cavite, from here you can overlook the sea and the city of Cavite, Lin Fei had just settled down, and an attendant suddenly came in and reported to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, there is a merchant outside who wants to see you." ”

Lin Fei asked, "What merchant?" ”

The attendant replied, "The merchant said that he was in the business of gunshot wounds, and that his gunshot wounds were made of the finest Yunnan Baiyao, fifty-five taels of gold and one kilogram. ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, and he said, "Hurry up and invite that merchant in for me." ”

The attendant agreed and walked out, not long enough to walk in with a businessman, the merchant was in his twenties, with a handsome face, Lin Fei stepped back left and right, walked to the businessman, stretched out his hand to shake him, and said with a smile: "Ghost, I didn't expect that the person who came was you." ”

It turned out that the businessman was an intelligence agent trained by Wang Yao, who was lurking in Manila...... Liu Ying, selling gun wounds and medicine and the like is just a codeword, because Lin Fei's radio communication equipment at this time is extremely large, there is no possibility of equipping individual soldiers, so Wang Yao can't use the radio to send intelligence to Lin Fei, so Lin Fei agreed with Wang Yao to let the intelligence agent use the identity of a businessman to contact him, and Lin Fei instructed his subordinates to report as long as a businessman asks to see, so that Lin Fei will not miss his intelligence officer.

Liu Ying saw Lin Fei come to shake hands with him in person, and immediately felt flattered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Lin Fei's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the last time I'm here to send you information." ”

Lin Fei was taken aback and asked, "The last time?" Why? ”

Liu Ying sighed and said, "Didn't you ask Master Wang Yao to send someone to Taiwan to lurk?" Master Wang Yao plans to send me, and after I send you this information, I will go to Taiwan. ”

Lin Fei laughed out loud and said, "This is a good thing, how can I see you being depressed?" ”

Liu Ying said gloomily: "Master Wang Yao asked me to have a good relationship with the Japanese after I came to Taiwan, to put it bluntly, I was a traitor... Although the Spaniards are bad, but the Japanese are worse than the Spaniards, no matter what the Spaniards say, they didn't have trouble going to the Qing Kingdom, but the Japanese wanted military spending and Taiwan, and they slaughtered 20,000 of our compatriots in Lushun......"

The more Liu Ying spoke, the more angry he became, Lin Fei interrupted him with a smile and said, "You went to lurk inside the enemy, and you didn't really go to be a traitor, what's so uncomfortable?" ”

Liu Ying shook his head and said, "I feel uncomfortable at the thought of nodding to the Japanese and being a dog." ”

Lin Fei laughed again and said, "You are doing this for the final victory, what's uncomfortable?" Okay, without further ado, tell me the information. ”

Liu Ying said "um", and said: "This time the intelligence is only one sentence, the Spaniards already know that our troops have landed in Cavite, and Governor Saunders ordered Raceno to lead eight battalions and 4,000 troops to attack, accompanied by large-caliber field artillery troops, numbering ten." ”

Lin Fei's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there a detailed route for marching?" ”

Liu Ying shook his head lightly and said: "We haven't gotten the route yet, but from the military camp in Manila to Cavite, there are only three major roads to go, the Spanish army has more than 4,000 people, and there are ten large-caliber field artillery, large-caliber field artillery needs mules and horses to pull, the target must be huge, with our reconnaissance ability, we must be able to detect it in advance." ”

Lin Fei said: "Okay, I'll leave the reconnaissance matter to me, you can go back quickly." ”

Liu Ying's face showed a burst of worry, and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Spaniards conducted a public display of field artillery, and I was also invited to see it, their field artillery is extremely powerful, a shell can blow up a large circle of targets, and blow up a deep pit on the ground, do we have anything in our hands that can compete with this kind of field artillery?" ”

Lin Fei nodded and smiled: "Of course there is, that kind of thing will be shipped in soon, your identity is special, I can't invite you to see it, when we take down Manila, I'll ask you to see it enough." ”

Liu Ying said "Okay" and said goodbye, Lin Fei waved his hand and called the attendant in, and said, "Go and call Zhang Chuang, the captain of the sniper team." ”

Lin Fei asked his staff officer Li Tianqian to take out a map and put it in front of Zhang Chuang, Lin Fei said: "According to reliable information, the Spaniards have sent a large force to Cavite, there are three roads from Manila to Cavite, I call them 'Highway No. 1', 'Highway No. 2' and 'Highway No. 3', you immediately lead the sniper team to reconnoiter these three roads and determine the enemy's march route." ”

Zhang Chuang's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty, you once told me that you want our sniper team to snipe and kill the enemy's high-ranking officials, is it a good opportunity now?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no, now is not a good opportunity, you are only responsible for reconnaissance, don't snipe, understand?" ”

Zhang Chuang's eyes flashed with a burst of disappointment, but he didn't say much, agreed, and then led the sniper team to set off, Zhang Chuang just left, an attendant ran in and said: "Report to Your Majesty, half an hour ago, Regiment Commander Zhao Menggang arrived at the beach with the HP-2 howitzer battalion, and is now preparing to go ashore." ”

Lin Fei smiled heartily and said, "My heavy artillery unit is here, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he took Li Tianqian and others out of the headquarters, and came to the beach in a short time, only to see several wide transport ships parked on the sea, and there were many people standing around the transport ships, and the ships were loaded with HP-2 howitzers, these howitzers were covered with tarpaulin, and only the shape of the gun body was revealed.

Lin Fei looked at his watch, couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's been almost an hour since the ship came, why hasn't the artillery been shipped yet?" ”

Li Tianqian echoed a few words, and then said on the side: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with these artillery, I don't know if you have found it?" ”

Lin Fei frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Let's talk about it. ”
