Chapter 2982
The temporary canteen of Camp Bangi was set up in a small street restaurant. In addition to the firewood stove and kitchen utensils in the back kitchen, the cooking team was interested in the fact that there were more than a dozen sets of tables and stools, so that the tired soldiers could sit and eat. .
The neighborhood was already empty, and most of the local people evacuated before the battle started. The owner of the restaurant also disappeared for a long time.
However, when the owner evacuated, he only took the ingredients from the store, leaving the pots and pans and other furnishings, so they were requisitioned by the Haihan Army along with the storefront.
There is no sign at the entrance of this restaurant, but judging from the tableware used and the degree of wear and tear of the tables and stools, it should be a Spanish restaurant that has been operating for a long time.Perhaps because of this, there is no need to use signboards to attract customers.
The main dishes here may have been Spanish dishes such as seafood rice or potato omelettes, but now the chef has changed to the Haihan cooking class, so today’s breakfast is rice porridge and steamed buns that are closer to the eating habits of the Han Chinese.
Since wheat is not grown in Luzon, the flour for making steamed buns actually comes from thousands of miles away in the north.It is the ultimate level that the logistics department can achieve to ensure that soldiers eat hot pasta on the front line of battle.
A bowl of hot porridge, two or three steamed buns, to fill the stomach, can have the strength to continue the next combat mission.
At this time, the sky has not yet lighted up, and most of the tables and stools in the shop are empty. There are not many soldiers who come to have breakfast at this time, and basically they have just completed the task of vigil.At least an hour later, the place will slowly become lively.
After eating breakfast, Zheng Agui sat still, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and silently gave one to each of his subordinates, and finally took one and put it in his mouth.
Next to him, Qin Bo wisely took out a box of matches, and after igniting it, he leaned over and lit the cigarette for Zheng Agui.
Zheng Agui doesn't actually know how to smoke. He didn't even touch this thing before he set off on the expedition. Even now, he just spit the smoke through his mouth and nose, and didn't dare to suck it into his lungs, so as not to choke himself.
But he had just had a really bad night, and he had to do something to stabilize his mood so that he could remain calm in front of everyone.
"The world is impermanent. Since we are on the battlefield, everyone must be prepared for the shroud in horse leather!"
Zheng Agui said in a deep voice: "Saying for the country is our highest honor as a soldier, and we must not forget it! We must complete the task and defeat the enemy. This is the best tribute to our deceased comrades!"
Everyone was silent, but their eyes became firm.What Zheng Agui said is not a new theory, but some propaganda slogans that they have heard repeatedly almost every day since they joined the army.
Usually, it seems that everyone doesn't pay much attention to these slogans, and many people even think that this is just a means to paralyze their spirits, but when they step on the battlefield and really touch the gap between life and death, they find that they can give them the greatest encouragement. It is precisely these propaganda slogans that are repeated every day.
Why to fight and for whom to die are ideological questions that every army must address.What the Haihan Army does is to associate it with personal values and a sense of honor.
This may have limited impact on soldiers with limited knowledge and limited culture, but as long as such awareness is instilled day after day for a long time, it can still have a pretty good effect.
The reason why Zheng Agui motivated his subordinates after asking for breakfast was because during the duty last night, the team he led was attacked by the resisters and paid the price of one death and one injury.
The battle happened suddenly, and the number of enemies who attacked far outnumbered them, but Zheng Agui still responded in time, and his commanders gave the enemy a hard blow.
They killed eight on the spot and captured two, but an unknown number of enemies escaped the battlefield under the cover of darkness.
Zheng Agui used his few ambulance skills to treat the injured men during the battle, but the problem was that they didn't carry many wound medicines and bandages, and it was difficult to achieve the purpose of rescue by in situ rescue, and there was no stretcher near the middle of the night. or horse-drawn carriages to transfer the wounded.By the time the medics arrived, one of the wounded had already died from blood loss.
They watched the whole process of the rescue together, watching the bodies of their comrades being carried away.Then he was questioned by people from the Military Intelligence Agency and told the story of the attack and battle.In order to further investigate the deployment of the Spaniards, the MI agents finally took their captives.
The battalion headquarters sent another shift to replace them. They were supposed to be on duty until the morning, but they changed the guard more than an hour earlier.
Although everyone was very tired, no one could sleep at this time. Zheng Agui led everyone to the cafeteria next to the camp to fill their stomachs before making plans.
"According to the order of the battalion headquarters, we have half a day to rest, so... I hope that when I see you again at noon today, each of you is ready for battle!"
Zheng Agui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it: "If you feel uncomfortable, then kill a few more Spaniards on the battlefield to avenge our brothers!"
Zheng Agui's men were only one of 73 people killed in the battle that day, and the Haihan Army's entire battle in Cebu had killed nearly [-] people.
Compared with this number, the battle losses suffered by the Subic battalion in the earlier battle on Panay Island seemed to be only trivial.
In the headquarters, the faces of the senior officers were all ashen.The strength of resistance encountered by the Haihan Army in Cebu this time, as well as the number of casualties, surpassed the previous record of attacking this place.Since the establishment of the Luzon Region, it has never suffered such severe casualties in any military operation.
The staff may have expected that the Spaniards would organize a wave of tougher resistance in Cebu, but they did not expect the current situation.
It took the Haihan Army two days to capture all the fortresses in the urban area of Cebu and control most of the urban area.But this does not mean the end of the battle, the Spaniards hiding in various places are still carrying out sporadic resistance operations, and continue to cause casualties to the Haihan army.
Although the resisters paid a heavier price for death and injury, their will to fight was obviously much stronger than before. They had abandoned the urban area and fled into the forest long ago, but this time they wanted to kill Haihan at any cost. The army drove out of its territory.
Command believes that there must be some reason for this that is not yet known to Haihan, and the answer can only be found by interrogating the prisoners.
