3107 Night Battle Manila

Looking at the history of human wars, night war has always been a war mode that commanders try to avoid as much as possible. No one will take the initiative to launch night wars without any necessity.

It’s not that there are no classic night battle examples, but there are very few such successful battle examples!

Since ancient times, there have been many reasons for commanders to avoid night wars, but in general, they can only summarize it a few points.

First, individual soldiers' physical fitness and weapons and equipment are not suitable for night battles! In ancient times, human material conditions were still very difficult. Being a soldier was always a chore, lacking vegetables, fruits, meat and other dietary supplements, resulting in a large number of soldiers having varying degrees of night blindness.

This is not a joke. In the era when vitamins did not appear, the soldiers of the army in poor countries had too many night blindness. They were really blind at night. Not to mention going to the toilet, they might even fall into the cesspool.

The soldiers are blind, and the means of lighting at night are insufficient, that is, torches and lanterns can be used barely, such as flashlights and searchlights, and there is not even a shadow.

A blind man touches an elephant battle, which no general dares to take risks.

Second, the command methods are very backward. Before radio technology appears, how do the troops coordinate during the night war? What should we do if the two sides collided?

The command center could not find the various departments, nor could it find the generals. The end result was a chaotic battle!

Third, the limitations of the ancient military system! Before the rise of nationalist ideas in the Middle Ages, war was just a profession for ordinary soldiers to make a living.

They do not have any strong will to fight, nor do they have the courage to be on the verge of death. They can fight with the wind. Once they encounter difficulties, these soldiers will definitely choose to escape.

The chaos in the night battle is very likely to cause the collapse of the team's system, especially small troops at the grassroots level. Once they are separated from the large troops and do not receive further supervision, it is very likely that these soldiers will escape!

In the era when soldiers were engaging in food, there were too many such situations. If you leave this army, you can surrender to the other party in a blink of an eye, and you can even continue to be free as a bandit. Who will follow you to the gangster?

The Spanish defenders are an example. Those indigenous soldiers who do not know what loyalty are, once they encounter danger, they cannot see the supervisory team on their sides, so they will not run away and wait for nothing!

General Enmu is a nerd with no practical experience. His identity as a general was also operated by his family after spending money. He just read the script according to his script. He felt that the Chinese could not do anything that his army could not do.

The entire 100,000 defenders had never had any training to prevent night war sneak attacks. When the Chinese launched the general attack, countless soldiers were even snoring, and the officers did not wake up after kicking them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Chinese people attacked at night..." The entire defense line was filled with shrill shouts.

"What? What happened?" The sleeping soldier knocked down the kerosene lamp, and the last bit of light in the tent went out.

A squad of soldiers were crowded in a narrow tent, people stepped on people, crowded people, and hit people... Before they could put on their pants, the sound of muffled thunder sounded in the distance.

The Chinese artillery positions began to shoot blindly at night according to the daytime target shooting. These smart artillery soldiers had already made bombing plans.

They calibrated the bombing target sites one by one according to distance from near to far, and they carefully calculated the advance speed of the soldiers in their units before the war started!

The artillery opened the way for infantry, and in this dark night, it was all about complete preparation and precise calculations!

In order to avoid accidentally injuring a friendly army, each shooting element can only shoot three consecutively, and then immediately adjust to cover it in the distance. With such layer-by-layer propulsion, the artillery will be like being equipped with a night vision device in later generations, accurately killing only the enemy without accidentally injuring itself.

This bombardment completely stunned the Spanish. Many people were sent to God by artillery on the bed, and huge fear immediately spread within the defense line.

Two rounds of artillery bombardment passed, and the Chinese vanguard who was moving forward in the darkness had approached more than 200 meters in front of the position. It was not until this moment that the Spanish fired the first counterattack.

The scattered rain of bullets could not hold the Chinese army with a rainbow. The terrain of unknown late at night, all the soldiers did not choose to run but pressed forward like Mount Tai.

Soldiers were constantly shot and fell down, and soldiers were constantly added to the position. This casualty was a piece of cake for the Chinese army that had fought countless fierce battles.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters... The bonfires of the enemy's military camp are already extremely clear, and the explosion of fire can reflect the enemy's panic-flying figure every time.

The Spanish army has been completely eliminated by the times. An army that has not even been popularized in rear-mounted rifles, is even less likely to have the most advanced heavy machine guns.

The firepower created by installing rifles from the front cannot resist these tiger and wolf troops coming from the north!

"The whole army attacks! All troops fight freely and find enemies freely. Tianming will meet in Manila City!"

"Break through the past! Insert the enemy's rear and disrupt their defense!"

"We have only one goal...Manila City!"

"Kill!" A roar suddenly broke out in front of the Spanish position, and thousands of Chinese soldiers Sa Yazi began to charge forward, and rushed into the Spanish defense line in just one attack.

The battle in the dark night quickly turned into a cruel hand-to-hand combat. The Chinese army swarmed into every trench, every bunker, and demolished every inch of the spike fence...

The explosion of hand# thunder is mixed with the explosion of artillery shells from afar, creating a sound of death that makes the colonists fear.

The snow-clear bayonet pressed towards the indigenous troops like a forest. The hundreds of indigenous soldiers who had just met fled like the rabbits who were shot.

The entire Manila defense line extends for more than 80 kilometers from east to west, starting from the Manila Bay in the west, and ending in the east to the Pacific Ocean, the entire Luzon Island is divided into two parts: north and south.

Logically speaking, a hundred thousand troops cannot defend the long line of defense of 80 kilometers, but Luzon Island is mountainous, especially the eastern part of the defense line, with mountains.

Therefore, the focus of the defense line is actually in the 30-kilometer area in the west, and this area has also become the most cruel hell of fighting. Many years later, the Spanish and indigenous veterans who had experienced this bloody battle still felt scared and sweated when they recalled that night.

"It's impossible to stop it. They are all a group of devils from hell. They are proficient in the most effective means of killing, and we are no match for them at all!"

"Hand# Lei, the first to open the way. After the chaos in our unit was bombed, they immediately opened fire and shot us..."

"Their rifles were fired quickly and accurately, and they were the most advanced rear-mounted rifles of that year. After every shot, they could exit the bright bullet shell..."

"After we fired a shot, the opponent's five shots were fired. Can this battle still be fought? This is not a war, this is a one-sided massacre!"
