Where are the defenders of Volume VIII 1264?

Next chapter

Amami Oshima is not big in size, but it is not small in size, and the land area of more than 700 square kilometers is enough for half a county in the Qing Dynasty, and if it is placed in Japan, it is already a vast territory that a medium lord can have.

The area of Ryoma Island is not large, but it occupies about 20% of the entire Amami Island, which is nearly 150 square kilometers. On the map, this is just a small place the size of a sesame mung bean, but if you want to let human legs measure it, you have to vomit blood.

In order to search the entire island of Lyuma in the shortest possible time, these landed Russian soldiers must seize all the high ground as quickly as possible, climb high and look into the distance to overlook the entire island, or grab a large number of war horses and patrol the land with the help of horse speed.

"Fire prevention, fire prevention, burn this village, no prisoners, all the Chinese are killed...... The enemy must be hiding in a corner and waiting for us, and they must be forced out......"

The officers on the front line gave the order, and soon the fishing village began to burn into flames, and the fleeing people were hunted down from the woods one by one, and the screams were incessant.

Stefansky, who was on the flagship, stared intently at the battle on the island, watched the companies rush to the beach, looked at the burning villages and rice fields, and he couldn't help but talk to himself.

"Yes, yes, well done...... I don't believe there are no enemy garrisons here, there must be enemy troops hiding! All you have to do is force them out of their position and rush up to annihilate them......"

"If you kill all these civilians and no defenders appear, this proves that the Golden Island is a trap, I will turn around and leave immediately, and I will definitely not linger for half a step......"

The cunning Stefansky had not yet ordered the fleet to enter the bay, he had only carefully divided his forces into two ways to get the east and west exits near the strait, and he had to get the answer he wanted on the island of Lüma.

Molière was amazed by the calmness of the Russian commanders, and also admired the comprehension ability of those grassroots officers, who were able to make tactical plans that were closest to the grand strategy with their own intuition without the commander-in-chief's ear.

"It turned out that the commander-in-chief didn't brag, and the soldiers brought out this time were really the elite of the tsar's subordinates, just looking at the clear command ideas of ordinary company platoon commanders, it is certain that these officers are from families...... Look at those tigers and wolves like soldiers, there is no hesitation in attacking, no matter whether there is a quagmire or a river in front of them, no one hesitates when they give an order, and they say jump down......"

"Sure enough, it was the first batch of emancipated serfs, their hearts were full of gratitude to the Tsar, and a strong desire to change their fate, this army came to East Asia, Xiao Letian can be regarded as guilty and suffered......"

Until this moment, the Russian troops who landed first had more than two battalions of 1,000 people, and now the landing field was no longer enough for the follow-up soldiers to step forward, those troop carriers began to shift their targets, and small boats began to look for new landing positions.

One, two, three or four...... Within half an hour, six more landing sites had been opened, and the soldiers in company and platoon units had begun to control more and more of the coastline, and the vanguard had begun to climb the mountains.

However, there were no defenders, and so far Xiao Letian's defenders have not appeared! A strange atmosphere began to permeate the Russian army!

"Bastards, these shrunken turtles! You're not coming out, are you? I'm going to force you out...... Kill all the people, burn all the villages and farmland, destroy a small qiē dam, and bury all the wells...... Destroy what you can see!"

"I want to see whether it is easier to destroy or easier to build! After 10 years of struggle by your Chinese people, I will be burned in front of your eyes, and I don't believe that you can endure it......

The number of landing troops had exceeded 2,500, and these troops began to break into pieces and carpet destroy Luma Island, the village barns were set on fire, the people who were hiding were smoked out of the smoke and were soon hunted, the rice fields in the distance were also set on fire upwind, the small dams used to irrigate the sugar cane forests were blown down by explosives one by one, and not a single water conservancy facility was left......

The island of fine wine, sugar, and rice, which the Ryukyuan people and the Chinese have painstakingly managed for many years, has now become a hell of thick smoke!

Whether there are defenders on Lüma Island or not, the answer is yes, there are not only defenders but also six batteries hidden on the top of the mountain, which can rotate 360 degrees, control the Strait and the open sea.

The six batteries were guarded by a total of six companies, and six hundred people were all the combat strength on Lüma Island, and it was impossible for these soldiers to confront the army of 2,500 tigers and wolves, so they could only choose to hold their positions.

"Damn, shit! these brutes...... I can't stand it anymore, company commander, let's rush out, right? In this way, the people will die at the foot of the mountain......"

In the hidden tunnel, the angry eyes of the squatting soldiers were on fire, and the application for battle had been made countless times, but the company commander Tie Tie did not let go with a blue face.

"Shut up! A soldier's duty is to obey! The order we have been given is to hold on, and no one is allowed to show his head until the order for a counteroffensive in the strait is issued...... Our artillery is used against battleships that have fallen into the trap!

"But ......"

"There is nothing to do! There are no immortals in a war, as long as we can win, both the army and the people can be sacrificed! Bai Layi has already sacrificed more than 10,000 people! Now it is our turn!"

The Gaoboshan Fort, the Bow Fort, the Jiajin Fort, the Nakajima Fort, the Lümadao Fort and the Haijiao Fort, a series of six batteries on Lüma Island from east to west, are all hidden on the most important heights, and all have permanent tunnel fortifications, surrounded by green mountains and green trees, and the Russian army will not be able to discover them in a short period of time.

The six forts were so excited that the soldiers were going crazy, and they couldn't watch the villagers being slaughtered and asked to go to war, but when the company commander raised the prime minister's military order, the soldiers were all silent, and the atmosphere in the tunnel was extremely oppressive, and some of the young soldiers were in tears.

"Why don't you enter the strait yet? What are you waiting for? Damn brutes, come in quickly!"

At this moment, an observation post suddenly exclaimed: "Look! The Sachuan Sugar Factory and the Rum Distillery have been captured by the enemy! It's broken! The Russians have discovered the place where the workers are hiding......

The bow fort is right above the Sachuan Harbor, and you can clearly see what is happening in the factory near the bay.

In a gentle bend near the bay, there are more than a dozen sugar factories and rum distilleries, and the brown sugar and rock sugar produced here are the most sought-after goods in the Ryukyus, thanks to the high-quality sugar cane specialties of Amami Oshima.

Moreover, the bagasse after sugar production can be further made into rum, which is really an incomparably green industrial chain, and the wealth of zào every year is incalculable.

And today, the doors of the sugar factory and the distillery were smashed open, the doorman was killed with bayonets, and the tiger-wolf Russian army rushed into the factory.

"Oh God! There's wine! There's sugar! Ula ......" The drunken Russian war bears went mad.

Now there are a total of 58 book friends who cover the cake, to be honest, compared with the huge base of book friends in Hidden Dragon, these dozens of people are really few!

Is there an old rule that there is a cake to cover, a layer of cake and two more chapters, absolutely speaking!
