The third division is attached to the Second Fleet, and the commander of the fleet is the commander of the navy, Zhang Bingyang, who is also a general. Liu Zhiliang discovered the enemy's loopholes, and Zhang Bingyang naturally discovered them.

"Lao Liu, the Dahan 903 Yamato-class battleship, the Datang 203 and 204 Korean-class cruisers, and the cover Wudi 501 landing ship have landed in Apari in the north." Zhang Bingyang said in a low voice: "There are no little devils in this area, we shouldn't waste resources, but we should give the little devils a real surprise." ”

"My opinion is that Ke Mingxiang's second regiment should immediately go north, try to converge on the Iragan line and the two armored regiments to the north, and then turn back and go south to the San Fernando line. Instead of disembarking here, we continued our voyage south, directly to the island of Polillo, where we held the Strait of Polillo. ”

"You have a battalion occupy Polilo, which can be used as our next perimeter defensive position, to build a solid airfield. You lead three battalions to land on the front line of real, then climb over the mountains to the west and kill directly at Manila, cutting Luzon into two parts! ”

Liu Zhiliang laughed strangely: "I'm cāo, you are Zhang Bingyang, is it a roundworm in Lao Tzu's stomach?" Just do as you say, hurry up and set sail to the south, the airborne troops behind will arrive immediately, and Lao Tzu has not yet found the airfield. ”

Using the walkie-talkie, Ke Mingxiang was ordered to immediately lead his troops north and sweep north along the east coast, while Liu Zhiliang and Zhang Bingyang commanded the fleet to continue south.

At the same time, he used the radio to notify the bombers who followed and directly bombed Cavite and Manila, and it was best to wipe out the headquarters of the 16th Division and the 65th Brigade of the little devils.

On the one hand, such bombing disrupts the enemy's chain of command and makes it unclear what is going on; On the one hand, covering the strategic direction of the landing force is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

As a matter of fact, Bai Shujie ordered the Yanhuang 701 transport ship to land in Dingalan Bay because he knew that there was no enemy in Dingalan Bay, and the strategic reconnaissance plane had already reconnoitred it many times. He just hoped that the landing force would land safely and then unfold in an orderly manner.

Bai Shujie is both offensive and defensive, and the most old-fashioned tactic.

However, when Liu Zhiliang and Zhang Bingyang met together, they directly brought out the theory of "the general will be outside, and his fate will not be affected", and he threw Bai Shujie's order aside and temporarily adjusted the offensive rhythm.

According to Liu Zhiliang's words: "Since you are open to do business, what you want is to make money." Losing money and making money is sick. I can't do this kind of thing. Lao Tzu mobilized the people, drifted across the ocean for thousands of miles, and didn't even see a single devil hair, which is simply unreasonable. ”

If Bai Shujie listened to Liu Zhiliang's heart, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood!

According to Bai Shujie's design, Shi Liancheng's first division is a chess piece on the surface, because his fleet has bypassed the entire northern part of Luzon Island, which is basically a swagger, and should attract all the enemy's attention.

In this way, Liu Zhiliang's third division suddenly landed in a place where there was no one, and then killed the enemy by surprise.

One light and one dark, complement each other, what a good thing.

It's a pity that Bai Shujie brought out a group of bastard soldiers and made his hollowing out design fragmented, so I can't say anything.

No gossip.

The Daqin 802 Brilliant-class aircraft carrier took the lead, reaching the northern section of the Polileo Strait at four o'clock in the morning. Twenty-four Jian-9 jet attack planes took off into the sky and, according to the photos of the enemy's situation facilities sent by the Air Force Command, directly began to raid the temporary airfield on Poliho.

Now you can't see anything anywhere else, but the airport just happens to have lights that serve as navigation. 24 fighters attacked three times in a row, and the little devils of a squadron were basically almost at the end of the day, and a platoon of the first batch of troops to land had already rushed in.

Then a battalion of 1,130 men took over the airfield and began a sweeping sweep of the entire island of Poliho in preparation for the arrival of heavy equipment by transport planes after dawn.

As for the 48 Black Widow fighters, they naturally did not sit idle, and directly began to carry out three rounds of wanton bombardment of the real to cover the landing of a large force.

To say that the regiment led by Liu Zhiliang was originally a cavalry regiment, and later changed to a tank regiment, but the tank still needs to be sent by a follow-up transport plane.

Leave one battalion on the beachhead and wait for the tank with the battalion across the strait. He led two battalions of infantry, all of them self-defense assault rifles, and began to climb over the opposite ridge and then drive north of the Bel North to Manila to the west.

Fortunately, since Zhang Bingyang has a bad idea, he can't be idle.

He knew that the two battalions led by Liu Zhiliang did not have spare drums at all, and each person had 47 rounds of ammunition. Once there is a stalemate, that problem is big.

Therefore, he ordered the four helicopters on the aircraft carrier to take off in two groups in turn, and kept following Liu Zhiliang's troops closely to undertake fire support tasks.

The Crazy Dragon helicopter has an empty weight of 9.75 tons, an internal effective load of 8.5 tons, an external normal payload of 10.4 tons, and a maximum payload of 15.5 tons. The maximum level flight speed is 318 km / h, the cruising speed is 248 km / h, and the practical ceiling is 5800 meters; The mission radius is 820 kilometers, and the transfer range is 2270 kilometers.

Two newly developed 30mm six-barreled arrays are installed on both sides of the belly, and there is a 12.7mm aviation machine gun on the left and right sides of the cabin, and a 30mm aircraft gun in the tail. The fighters called it "mobile pillboxes" or "flying tanks".

Liu Zhiliang dared to take risks, precisely because there are 4 Crazy Dragon helicopters as killer features. If you encounter a fortress that can't be gnawed, the radio immediately calls the 2 helicopters behind you, hangs up cloud burst bombs or napalm, and sees how many heads the little devil has!

You must know that this part of Manila is the narrowest part of Luzon.

The entire east-west width of the island here is less than 70 kilometers, and Manila is only 47 kilometers from the east coast, which can be reached in 10 minutes by Dragon helicopter.

Besides, after six o'clock, the first wave of attacks by the Nulong heavy bombers will begin, and Liu Zhiliang has full confidence to take the lead and let Shi Liancheng gnaw his bones.

Liu Zhiliang is a veritable boss among the four field divisions.

According to his words: "Blame Lao Liu, I am the first person to carry the box for the boss, and the time with the boss is four months earlier than you Shi Liancheng, two years earlier than you Chen Jie, and a year and a half earlier than you Wei Chong, you and I are fighting for a ball!" ”

Nearly 50 kilometers over the mountains, the rainforest is not so easy to walk.

Moreover, the vicinity is full of igneous rocks, either ravines and bumps, or cliffs more than one person high, and it is before the dark dawn, and the mountain road is even more difficult to walk.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was wearing leggings and tank leather jackets, I don't know how many people were bitten to death by poisonous snakes along the way.

Later, the snake situation was too strict, and Liu Zhiliang simply ordered everyone to carry the assault rifle on their backs and use all three-edged thorns to fight with poisonous snakes.

After a lot of hardship, when the sun rose, I finally walked out of the dense forest and came to the Pasig line, where Manila is 8 kilometers west of the sea.

There were pedestrians working on the road, but no one stopped to look at a strange procession, and almost all of them hurried by with their heads down when they found Liu Zhiliang and them.

"I'm cāo, so there is such a good thing?" Liu Zhiliang felt strange all the way: "It's a pity, the little girls here look dark, thin and short, and the men can't look at it." It seems that the rule of the Americans here is not good, and this appearance of the common people can explain it. ”

At 6 a.m. on January 1, 1942, when there was a roar in the northeast sky, Liu Zhiliang and his men were less than three kilometers away from Manila.

Liu Zhiliang saw that the bomber was about to start entering the bombing position, and immediately turned his head and asked: "Tao Chengzhou, do you think we are attacking Manila or Krabi military port?" ”

Tao Chengzhou is the commander of the tank regiment, and he is also an old qualified guy. Hearing the question of his immediate boss, he suddenly said coldly and coolly:

"Since the rhythm of the operation has changed, my opinion is to take the Noveletta airfield directly, and then call the transport planes to send our tanks and rocket regiments over, and you can think of anywhere."

"Great idea!" Liu Zhiliang's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "No, it's more than 20 kilometers from here, and it's too late." My opinion is to raid Manila immediately and if you can find the vehicle, then you can achieve your goal. Operator, call the helicopter to come right away and raid Manila! ”

It is said that the headquarters of the 65th Brigade of the little devil is set up in Intramus, which is the southern district of Manila City. This district was built by the Spanish in the 16th century and is the oldest municipal district in Manila.

However, now people can't see anything, and after being crippled by MacArthur, they were completely blown up by the little devils, and there is only one church left.

One of the most famous buildings is St. Augustine's Church, a Roman Catholic Augustine church.

The entire church is 67.15 meters long and 24.93 meters wide. Located within the ancient city walls of Intramuros Manila, it was completed in 1607 and is the oldest surviving building in the Philippines.

The greatest thing about St. Augustine's Church is its state-of-the-art elliptical seismic infrastructure. Luzon is riddled with volcanoes and often causes major earthquakes, but the church has survived hundreds of years unscathed.

Despite its unsightly appearance, it has even been criticized for its "lack of grace and charm", but it has gorgeous wood carvings that are stunning all over the world. The courtyard of the church has several granite carved lions, which were given by Chinese who joined the Catholic Church.

Liu Zhiliang and Tao Chengzhou each led a battalion to approach the city of Manila from the east and south, and on the way they bloodlessly killed a port garrison team in Emita.

In fact, it can't be called a team, because the wild bombardment in the direction of Krabi has already made it discovered here, and there are whistles and running sounds of little devils everywhere. Only one squad of this port garrison team remained, and the rest of the people were gone, so it was estimated that they would go out for reinforcements.

Liu Zhiliang personally led a battalion and secretly interspersed the north along the direction in which the little devil appeared. Although he didn't come here, according to the actions of the little devil, he had already sensed that the little devil's headquarters should be not far ahead!

Beheading, this is one of the tactics that Bai Shujie has always emphasized. As Bai Shujie's earliest follower, Liu Zhiliang knew that when he went deep into the tiger's den, the most important thing was to succeed in one blow and cause the greatest damage to the enemy, which would naturally cause greater chaos.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes of concealment, Liu Zhiliang finally found that a three-story building similar to a square appeared in front of him, with a side length of about 110 meters. The gate faces southwest, and there are four little devils standing guard at the gate, as well as 3 trucks and 2 armored vehicles.

Liu Zhiliang picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and his heart suddenly became happy: "I'm cāo!" There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. It turned out that this was the headquarters of the 65th Brigade! The telegraph operator called the helicopter hidden in the dense forest outside the city to come over immediately and blow up this building! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
