Lieutenant Colonel Juan did not lose his two hundred pesos back the next day.
Because it rained heavily from morning to night the next day. Both sides took shelter from the rain and did not fight for a day.
But what is supposed to come will always come.
Early on the third day, the weather cleared up, and the overseas Chinese young people rushed to the shooting platform early to prepare for the impact of the Pampanga people on the new day.
People in Pampanga also gathered at the riverside early carrying the bamboo rafts they built yesterday. Prepare to take advantage of the cool weather to attack a few more waves
Seeing that the two sides were ready to start fighting, suddenly a Mexican soldier ran up to Pampanga leader Kendo and muttered a few words to him.
Kenduo was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The overseas Chinese monk Zhang Er inside the fence was confused. Why did these gangsters retreat again? Could it be that fighting a war is like working for them, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets?
As they were looking at each other, they suddenly heard a loud roar coming from the stone castle in the distance. Ximen Qing, who was looking around with a telescope while holding a cigarette in his mouth, changed his face when he heard the sound, and shouted loudly: "Shell bombardment! Get down quickly!"
The Marines also reacted and drove the overseas Chinese under the fence by kicking and holding hands.
Before the overseas Chinese could figure out the situation, they saw a huge cannonball fall on the fence wall with a sharp whistling sound.
The cannonballs fired from a high position were extremely powerful, and the wooden fence was as fragile as paper and instantly shattered into pieces. A few unlucky overseas Chinese were among them, and they were immediately shattered to pieces! The overseas Chinese nearby who were affected also had their muscles and bones broken, several of their heads were cut off, and they all fell to the ground screaming.
"What are you doing standing there, get down! Get down!" Amidst Ximen Qing's hoarse roar, the overseas Chinese, who had just woken up from a dream, hurriedly retreated from the fence and hid under the ditch behind.
The rumble of cannons continued one after another, and the shells landed accurately on the fence, destroying the defense line used by the overseas Chinese to resist the indigenous attack the day before, and it was riddled with holes.
However, Ximen Qing still stood on the fence, watching the Pampanga people on the other side, guarding against them taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Chen Yongquan also insisted on following him and would not push him away no matter what.
"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." Ximen Qing smiled approvingly and handed him a cigarette as a sign of the man's approval.
"You are praising yourself." Chen Yongquan didn't answer. He hated the smell of smoke, but his eyes fell on the Longqing rifle in Ximen Qing's hand.
Ximen Qing smiled understandingly, handed him the rifle and said, "Do you understand why they want to move you out of the city and stipulate that you must live in the stream?"
"Is it to make it easier for them to shoot?" Chen Yongquan held the rifle as if he had found a treasure. He had long been envious of the gun Ximen Qing and the others used.
"The enemy." Ximen Qing nodded.
"But their cannon is too accurate, isn't it? Could it be that the shells don't have eyes?" Chen Yongquan looked at the fence that had become a sieve and exclaimed.
"This is not unusual." Ximen Qing blew out a string of smoke rings and said: "When we were in the police academy, we had a shore defense class, and this was what we taught. As long as the range area is accurately calibrated in advance, you can hit wherever you want. "
"It turns out that these beasts have planned every step!" Chen Yongquan said with a burst of hatred: "Sooner or later, I will kill all the red hairs and leave no one behind."
"It's good to have anger, but don't let it get carried away." Ximen Qing smiled lightly and said: "Actually, the reason why I don't go down is that I know it is safe in this position. Because this is the blind spot of the fort"
As he spoke, he frowned, flicked the cigarette butt far into the river and said, "The fanboy is here again!"
Chen Yongquan clenched his gun and looked up, and sure enough he saw the Pampanga people using the shelling to cross the river on rafts.
Ximen Qing no longer paid attention to him, turned around, jumped off the shooting platform, and shouted to his men in the trench: "Retreat to the second line of defense!"
The Marines kicked and kicked the overseas Chinese youths who had withdrawn, and retreated along the trench to the rear.
Then he took a big step and jumped to the opposite side of the ditch. Then he rolled over and rolled into a sandbag bunker that was half a person's height. He ordered the overseas Chinese young people hiding behind the bunker: "You will become the front line, and you must be as brave as the brothers in front!"
"Understood!" The young people clenched the javelins in their hands and responded loudly.
I don¡¯t know whether it was because they were shocked by the artillery fire or because the wall was destroyed. In short, their voices lost their previous momentum, and there was a vague sense of fear
"Don't be afraid, behind you are our fathers, wives and children! What will you do if you are afraid of them?!" Ximen Qing took the Longqing ceremony handed over by his men and aimed at the Pampanga people who came ashore and poured into the stream.
He fired a shot and opened a?The chance, of course is only available to half the people. "
"The scene will definitely be exciting." Colonel Goit couldn't wait to ask: "Will it start tomorrow?"
"There's no rush, their current casualties are still bearable." Governor Sander said: "Let them bleed for a few more days and become more desperate, only then will they value our proposal."
After a pause, he smiled at Sarsita and said, "Let our little black friend bleed a little more, so that he won't have any objections to us then."
"Your Excellency is wise." Colonel Salsido hurriedly offered Western flattery and said: "Your heart must have been kissed by an angel."
??~~
It rained heavily on the fourth day and hard work on the fifth day.
Heavy rain on the sixth day, bloody battle on the seventh day!
The overseas Chinese showed extremely strong endurance in the series of bloody battles.
Two thousand people have been killed or seriously injured
The bodies of the deceased had to be thrown into the river to avoid causing disease.
Everyone is filled with great sadness. What supported them to continue fighting, except for the tenth day that was getting closer and closer, was the thought of revenge for their loved ones.
On the eighth day, it didn¡¯t rain, but the Pampanga people unexpectedly did not attack
ps. No more tonight. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
