Chapter 3002

The next day, rumors about the Subic Battalion soldiers causing trouble in the city spread among the military, and the matter seemed to be more serious than what Zheng Agui learned at the scene yesterday.

The soldiers who violated military discipline were all natives of Luzon. What they committed this time was not just drunken brawls and accidental killings. It is said that the reason was that they saw valuable gold and silver objects in people's homes and came up with the idea of ​​robbery. In the end, he injured someone to death, which was completely different from an ordinary fight.

If the military police hadn't caught him in action, it would be hard to say where things would go. There were too many such things during times of war and chaos, and the garrison headquarters might not arrange a follow-up investigation specifically for this, and it would most likely turn into an unsolved case.

However, these unlucky guys drank too much and were not very conscious at the time. They did not realize the seriousness of the matter. As a result, they were blocked by the gendarmerie who arrived after receiving the news. The stolen goods were confiscated on the spot. , the evidence is conclusive.

This incident did not occur during the fighting, but after Haihan had completely occupied Cebu. At this time, the people who can still stay in Cebu City have basically passed the preliminary screening of Haihan. Even if they have not yet been formally naturalized, they can be regarded as quasi-citizens.

And what these drunkards in Subic Camp did can only be characterized as robbery and murder. If something like this happens, it will definitely have a great impact on the reputation of the Haihan Army.

"I heard that General Xiao was furious about this. He called all the heads of the Subic battalion to the headquarters and scolded them all! Platoon leader, do you think these guys who caused trouble will be court-martialed?"

Qin Bo was very proud to show off to Zheng Agui the latest news he had just learned from elsewhere, and there was a hint of gloating in his words.

When Zheng Agui heard the news, he was not as relaxed as Qin Bo: "There is probably no chance of escaping the military court... Don't think it's fun to watch the excitement. It will probably affect us later."


The smile on Qin Bo's face immediately solidified: "Why are we still involved? This matter has nothing to do with us!"

Zheng Agui explained: "Although it was these people who caused the trouble, to the outside world, it was done by the Haihan Army. Do you understand? It is not so easy to eliminate the impact of this incident on the people... I It looks like a ban will be issued!”

Zheng Agui's worries soon became a reality. The garrison headquarters issued an order to all departments of the navy and army to temporarily cancel the vacation arrangements for all personnel, and troops at all levels were organized to study military regulations and disciplines. No one is allowed to leave the camp without permission from the commander above the battalion level.

"These indigenous soldiers have done a lot of harm to people! Now our vacation has been ruined!"

The new order made Qin Bo extremely frustrated. Not only were all scheduled activities canceled, but he also had to study the "Discipline Regulations" at the station. No one was happy with this arrangement. When looking into the cause, it is natural to blame the indigenous soldiers who caused the big disaster yesterday.

Complaints are complaints, but military orders are like mountains, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they must be carried out according to them. Except for a few troops performing patrol and garrison duties, all personnel staying in the camp must participate in disciplinary studies in accordance with the arrangements of the headquarters.

In addition to the "Discipline Regulations", the learning content also includes the latest news from Haihan. For example, the "Luzon Times", which is self-published by the Luzon Region, only takes a few days to be delivered from Manila to Cebu after publication, which is relatively time-sensitive.

The "Haihan Times" and "Sanya Express" published in Hainan Island have a much greater delay. They must first cross the South China Sea from Sanya to Manila, and then transfer from Manila to Cebu, which usually takes more than half a month. . However, in terms of the authority and influence of the content, the broadsheets published in Sanya are of course more important. Although they are less timely, you can read more news about other parts of the country. In fact, many of the contents published in the local "Luzon Times" are also forwarded articles from these two major newspapers.

In this issue of Haihan Times, which was just sent to Cebu, there are reports about this special military operation in the Luzon region. Although this newspaper was published half a month ago, it can be said that it is as attractive to those who experienced it in Bangui Camp as the distribution of military pay.

Due to the limited number of newspapers, Zheng Agui waited for two more days before the newspapers were finally handed over to him.

This issue of "Haihan Times" devoted two full pages to reporting on the military operation in the Luzon Region that lasted for more than two months, including some detailed battle records.

Among them are detailed descriptions of how Zheng Agui's team captured the enemy chieftain in the battle of Masbate Town and how they breached the defender's stronghold in Cebu City.

"Platoon leader, your name is mentioned here!"

Qin Bo, who was in charge of reading the newspaper, raised his voice and said: "Zheng Agui, the infantry squad leader affiliated with the Bangui Battalion, showed bravery in the battle to conquer Masbate Town. He not only took the lead in breaking through the enemy's defense line, but also successfully captured the soldiers hiding in the underground shelter. The enemy chief Vargas allowed our army to capture the town of Masbate in one day..."

Zheng Agui's face was full of smiles when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The Battle of Masbate Town was actually the first real battle he participated in after joining the army. However, due to accidents and luck, he led this group of new recruits to achieve repeated military exploits, and gradually became a leader. The emerging fighting hero of Camp Bangui.

Zheng Agui did not expect that his experience would be published in the newspapers, and he became a household name. At the moment, there seems to be no better way to express my emotions besides giggling.

But in fact, the Bangui Battalion was not the main force in this operation, and Zheng Agui's team was certainly not the focus of this report. It was very lucky to be mentioned in a few words.

The focus of this report is to explain to readers the significance and long-term impact of this military operation.

For ordinary people, they only know that the Haihan Army has won another battle overseas, and the Haihan territory has new content. As for where this newly annexed place is located and what it means to Haihan, most people actually have no idea.

This report introduces the situation in the central and southern regions of the Philippine Islands in a concise and concise way. This war is actually a continuation of the war between Haihan and Spain over Luzon more than ten years ago. The region's products, population, and maritime trade routes are all the reasons why the two countries are at war again after so many years.

Of course, as the official propaganda mouthpiece, The Times did not forget to remind readers that these newly occupied areas are full of waste and are waiting for development. The Luzon Region has provided extremely favorable treatment for investors and new immigrants. Maybe they can buy property and settle down there. Would be a pretty good decision.
