Chen Wei stagnated after sustained fire. In front of the sudden fierce fire, the soldiers had to look for obstacles to protect themselves.
He took out his telescope and looked at the stone wall in front of him. He found out why the Dutch firepower suddenly became fierce.
It seems that we have found the disadvantages of loading the rifles. Now some Dutch soldiers are responsible for loading the rifles, while the other part is responsible for shooting, which greatly improves their attack efficiency.
They were not unfamiliar with this shooting method, because they used this method to fight with barbarians when they used rifles.
"Why are these Dutch so smart? They are in trouble. The soldiers will rush up and there will be a lot of casualties."
A monitor said to Chen Wei.
Nodded, he said: "let the plane Gunners come and use fire to suppress them, you use grenades to attack them under the cover of fire."
"Yes."
Should be a sound, monitor immediately rickets body to run backward, soon machine gun team to his position.
Chen Wei see this, immediately let machine gun fire the Dutch soldiers behind the stone wall.
Now they are in a very passive geographical environment, because from the front of the river to here is a flat beach, the Dutch vision is very broad.
"Dada, dada "
the machine gun spewed flames, and the bullets flew to the temporary stone wall built by the Dutch. Suddenly, the Dutch soldiers were overwhelmed by the fierce fire.
At the same time, more machine gun teams arrived, they lined up in a straight line and fired wildly.
Seeing the Dutch soldiers' counterattack weakened, Chen Wei waved and rushed to the stone wall with his company.
At this time, the soldiers made a full effort to run in an "s" shape and quickly rushed past.
Behind the stone wall, Eric suffered a lot. His tactics only worked well in a short period of time, but after the machine gun appeared, they fell completely behind. The bullets constantly flying over made the Dutch soldiers unable to lift their heads.
At this time, he suddenly a group of imperial soldiers rushed to them, he immediately ordered to focus on shooting this group of soldiers trying to encircle.
But the next scene made him a little stunned. These soldiers ran along a strange route. When his soldiers aimed and fired, they would suddenly change their position, which greatly reduced their chances of being hit.
Eric was in a mixed mood. He knew that he had a lot to learn from the Chinese Empire, but he didn't have the chance.
Looking at the approaching imperial soldiers, he looked back at the upcoming armed merchant ships and found that most of the soldiers boarded the ships. He immediately ordered the evacuation.
The 800 Dutch soldiers who were in charge of blocking the attack rushed to the boat with all their lives. When all the people got on the boat, the armed merchant ship went to the middle of the river and drove along the river.
It was too late for Chen Wei to reach the river. The river outside Manila was very wide, three miles long. The merchant ships in the middle of the river were too far away from them.
Moreover, the river is very fast, and the merchant ships go down the river very fast. In a short time, the merchant ships become a distant shadow.
"Tell the fleet to chase them!" Chen Wei is very unwilling. There is no fat left in his mouth. "
A soldier left.
After looking at the Dutch merchant ship that had gone far away, Chen Wei looked at Manila city behind him. Now it's time to take over the city.
At the same time, Yue Yun has been on the beach, and Liu Chen is looking at Manila city in front of him.
In fact, Manila belonged to Spain before that, but when they attacked Mint Island, the Dutch took advantage of it.
Because in the Philippines, the Dutch and Spain have their own colonies. For this reason, there are constant contradictions between the two.
A piece of land not far from Manila is the territory of the Dutch. While attacking Spain, the Dutch took the initiative to attack Manila. After the war, the Dutch naturally occupied it. Simon was sent here at that time.
"This should have been imperial territory for a long time." Yue Yun's eyes are deep.
"Yes, it's been too long for the Dutch to occupy the nest. Even so, they are still greedy and choose to stand with their Western counterparts," Liu said
"The emperor said that the Western powers often attack each other because they are invincible in the world. They just bite each other to fight for the interests of the colony. Now the Empire has suddenly become a strong opponent threatening their interests, but it will promote their union. This is not a good omen." As Yue Yun and Liu Chen walked towards Manila, they analyzed the current situation.
Liu Chen proudly looked at the armored ships behind him and said, "so what? With armored ships, the maritime hegemony is ours. How can they unite?"
"You can't say that." "A united Europe is not in the interests of the Empire. A dog biting Europe is in the interests of the Empire. At least we can sacrifice less soldiers and get back more interests," Yue said, pointing to the wounded soldiers carried on the stretcherLiu Chen nodded gently, "that's right. Compared with the war between Korea and Japan, the number of soldiers who died in Nanyang has increased a lot."
"Here it is." Yue Yun said with a smile, "in the end, the war is for the sake of economic interests. When the people are fed and clothed, no one has the heart to rebel. Only in this way can the country prosper and the people can't survive. No matter how big the territory is, they can't survive. Maybe they will make wedding clothes for others."
Liu Chen hears something wrong from Yue Yun's words, and he can't help asking: "is the emperor not ready to continue to march westward after winning Nanyang?"
hearing Yue Yun's words, he suddenly laughs and says, "yes, you've become smart. The emperor is ready to postpone the war after opening the air route to the Ottoman Empire. After all, there are too many lands occupied now, which need to be stabilized To be sure, the task of the major military regions may be to help the expatriate officials establish management institutions, but our navy and Marine Corps can't stop. Apart from annihilating the Western fleet, we also have to undertake the task of global escort. "
Liu Chen light relaxed tone, "this I am at ease, idle all day can really kill."
During the conversation, they had entered Manila city. After the emergency evacuation of the Dutch, it was in a mess. The aboriginal slaves who originally lived in Manila City looted everything that could be looted, leaving only the streets and buildings in a mess.
Looking at all this, Liu Chen said, "it's time to slow down and send officials to rebuild these colonial cities. Otherwise, the places we've worked hard for will be completely destroyed by these aborigines."
