On June 7, 1898, the CNZ team departed from Manila entered the Cavet area of ​​Quezon Province. Although it is only a few dozen kilometers away from Manila, due to poor road facilities, the CNZ team's artillery was on these roads.

It was so difficult to march, so it took a lot of time. This was the reason why the 24th Division and the 31st Division left the 155mm heavy artillery in Manila. Otherwise, if you want to get here within two days,

It is simply impossible.

More than 60,000 troops stopped moving forward after arriving in Kavit. It was not that the Chinese team did not want to move forward, but that the Philippine resistance forces had already stationed troops in Kavit area, blocking the Chinese team's advancement. Kuwait only

It is just a small market town, far less prosperous than later generations. A coalition composed of the First Republic of the Philippines, Katipunan, the army of the Prakhan believers, the Moroes and the Sulu Sultanate, a total of 100,000 people have been

All gathered here. Among them, the First Republic of the Philippines is the strongest, with a total of 50,000 troops equipped with old-style rifles. The other resistance forces were much worse in weapons and equipment. Especially the Moroes

Many of the troops of the Sulu Sultanate were equipped with weapons such as bows, spears and blowing arrows.

"Mr. Governor, the situation has been discovered. The Philippines' resistance forces have gathered in the front of Kavit, with a total of more than 100,000 troops. However, the weapons and equipment are extremely simple, and they cannot even keep up with the Qing Dynasty. The cannons are only

There are only a dozen, and they are all old-fashioned cannons with a short range and low power, so they should not pose any threat to us!" Major General Lu Jiande, the commander of the 24th Division, reported.

"There are quite a lot of people. However, the more people, the better. As long as this battle can eliminate these indigenous Filipinos, it will be much easier to clear them up in the future!" said Major General Zhou Shu, the governor of the Philippines. The gathered indigenous Filipinos and

It is not scary. With the weapon advantage of the Chinese team, they can easily be eliminated. Once they escape into the vast jungle of the Philippines and fight guerrilla war with the Chinese team, that is the real trouble. Therefore.

The more Philippine natives can be wiped out in this battle, the easier it will be in the future.

"It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before dark. Should I take advantage of the attack now and resolve the battle before dark?" Wu Haibin, the brigade commander of the 5th Marine Corps, suggested.

"Where has the naval fleet been?" asked Major General Zhou Shu. Although, the artillery battalions of the two infantry divisions, plus the artillery battalions of three land brigades, have a total of hundreds of 105mm light howitzers, for the natives of the Philippines.

It is tantamount to being able to form devastating firepower. However, what Major General Zhou Shu wants is not to defeat these Filipinos, but to completely defeat them and wipe them out. If there is support from the navy, to wipe out these Filipino natives, then

It's easier.

"Chief Li Haitao's fleet has arrived outside Bacoal Bay. As long as we determine the time for the attack, they can devote themselves to the battle within half an hour!" Li Haitao replied.

"Okay. Order the artillery to launch. In addition, the frontal attack is carried out by the 24th and 31st Divisions. The 5th and 8th Brigades of the Marine Corps and the 9th Brigade. Pass through from the left, you must

Block all these Filipino natives here and cannot let them escape to the inland areas. The battle begins in an hour!" Major General Zhou Shu ordered.

"Yes, Governor!" All the generals of the Zhong** team followed the order. Then, the Zhong** team did not care about rest and immediately started the operation. The five artillery battalions began to unfold, one by one, with 105mm lightweight

Howitzers pointed the hideous muzzle diagonally towards the sky. The three Marine Corps brigades also quickly interspersed from the left side of Kavit to the rear, striving to form an encirclement of the Philippine troops concentrated in Kavit to allow them to

After the battle begins, no one doubts whether the battle will go smoothly. Obviously, the army of Filipino resistance forces, which is poorly equipped, cannot be armed with the teeth**

The team is competing with each other. Today, the Chinese team will teach them that if they want a nation, they need strength. Otherwise, their nation will only let their nation run out of blood.

Kavit, the command of the coalition forces formed by the Philippine resistance forces, represented five leaders, namely Emilio Aquino, the President of the First Republic of the Philippines, and Macari, the leader of Katipunan.

General Shati, Manuel Tilu, the believer of Prakhan, the tribal elders of the Moroes, and Sultan of Sulu.

"Everyone, this time we gathered the Philippine army to resist the Chinese invasion. A hundred years ago, China was still a prefecture in Asia, but now, they have become evil colonists. They defeated Spain

People do not want to help us Asian compatriots, but instead want to enslave us like the Spanish. We absolutely cannot agree. In order to resist the slavery of the Spanish, we have fought for hundreds of years. Even if the Chinese are stronger than the Spanish,

We are also fearless. I firmly believe that with millions of Philippine people united, the final victory must be ours!” Emilio Aquino, the president of the Philippines’ first republic, waved his hands and said excitedly.

The leaders of other resistance forces nodded one after another. Although they were about to defeat the Spaniards, the Chinese now made a thrust, making the victory they were about to be won away from them again.

But, the powerful Filipino people, they are fearless and will continue to fight.

"Now, the Chinese army is less than 5 kilometers away from Kavit. They are well-equipped and far from comparable to us. If we compete head-on, we are no match for them. Fortunately, they rushed all the way from Manila.

Come, I'm already very tired. They will definitely wait until tomorrow to launch an attack on us. And tonight is our opportunity. Compared with the Chinese, we are more familiar with the geographical conditions of the Philippines. With the help of terrain and vegetation, we can

Launch a night attack on them. Once it is evening, this is the world of our Filipinos, and China's advanced weapons will be greatly reduced. This is our only chance to defeat them. Everyone, the Philippine nation's tomorrow will look at the night's

Fight!" said Emilio Aquino. If this Chinese team can be defeated, then the Chinese will definitely consider sending so many troops to the Philippines and paying a huge price.

In this way, the Philippines will have a chance. Even if the Philippines bows its head and surrenders to China again, it will be much better than being colonized.

"His Excellency President, don't worry, our Moro warriors will easily sneak into the Chinese camp tonight and cut off all the Chinese heads with sharp swords, so that these hateful Chinese people will know that we are Philippines

The man is so powerful!" said the elder of the Moro tribe. His body was covered with colorful patterns painted with oil, which looked very strange.

"Our Sulu Sultanate's army is also very suitable for night wars. Last year, we defeated the Spaniards in the jungle. If these Chinas lose their weapons, they will also be vulnerable!" Sulu Sultanate's army

The Sultan also echoed.

"Very good! Then I'll watch the performances of the two tonight. Once you succeed, our remaining troops will immediately launch an attack and completely defeat these Chinese people!" Emilio Aquino said excitedly.

At this time, the Chinese team had already begun to take action. Three Marine soldiers, led by Chinese guides, walked through the jungle and surrounded the periphery of Kavit. On the sea, the 'Xi'an' number was heavy.

The fleet of cruisers, light cruisers Mianyang and Deyang, destroyers Dujiangyan and Pengzhou have already entered Bacoal Bay, and the warship's naval guns have taken off their cannon coats, huge

The muzzle aimed at the direction of Kavit, and once the attack signal was issued, they would carry out a devastating artillery strike against Kavit.

"His Excellency President, all the lords, it's not good! The Chinese have started to act, and our people have found that a large number of Chinese are bypassing Kavit and want to surround us! In addition, in Bacoal Bay, there are also

The huge warship of the Chinese!" An officer from the First Republic of the Philippines rushed into the conference room.

"What? Are the Chinese going to start attacking now? Are they not resting despite the fatigue of the soldiers?" Emilio Aquino said in horror. He knew that if the Chinese team launched the attack now, then

They would not have used any of their previous plans and barriers. In the face of the powerful firepower of the Central Team, they would die very miserably.

"His Excellency Aquino, I suggest launching an attack immediately, otherwise, once the Chinese start attacking first, we will suffer heavy losses!" suggested General Makari Shati, the leader of Katipunan.

In fact, Emilio Aquino wanted to retreat immediately. He knew very well that the Philippine resistance forces now had no chance, and if they insisted on resisting, they would only suffer heavy losses.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud noise sounded like a world-breaking sound, and the ground seemed to be shaking. The conference room built with thatch swayed even more, as if it was about to collapse. This made Emilio Aquino and others all

It was very shocked. In their minds, there was only one thought, that is, the Zhong** team had already started attacking.

At 4 pm, the Chinese Navy, anchored in Bacoal Bay, and the 5 artillery battalions of the China National Team launched a fierce shelling of Kavit. The entire Kavit was trapped in a sea of ​​fire and gathered here.

The indigenous Philippine resistance forces were even more injured.
