Li Meng no longer needed to dispatch drones, there were only scattered enemies left in the three bunkers and two turrets, and the soldiers had already captured most of the stronghold, Tang Mingyue gave an order, and the large army immediately rushed to the stronghold.

Li Meng: "Commander Yun, the battle here in the stronghold is over, there are still a few barges at the dock, while the enemy reinforcements have not yet come, you should hurry up and drive them away, it will be of great use in the future, let these soldiers help if you don't have enough manpower." ”

Yun Xiaofang hurriedly agreed and said, "Okay, Commander Li, don't you retreat now? The enemy with reinforcements should be coming soon." ”

"Withdraw before dawn, even if the enemy comes, it may not be able to do anything to us. ”

Yun Xiaofang didn't say anything anymore when he saw Li Meng's confident appearance, there were still a lot of goods in those barges, each barge was twenty or thirty meters long, with a load of thousands of tons, diesel power, it was a good thing, with these dozen barges, they could solve the problem of their lack of capacity.

When Tang Mingyue's troops came, most of them drove fishing boats, and the battlefield still needed about an hour to be cleaned, except for a very small number of cunning enemies who were stubbornly resisting, the soldiers did not want to let go of a bullet, a steel plate, and a piece of clothing in the stronghold, the conditions were too difficult, and the little materials captured did not want to be wasted.

Gradually, the gunfire stopped completely, and hundreds of guns, five or six hundred rounds of ammunition, three boxes of grenades, three light machine guns, and two heavy machine guns were looted in the stronghold.......

Li Meng reminded them to collect the bullet casings as well, now that they have machines, they can only reload the bullets a little bit, this point can be solved sooner or later, Li Meng and Tang Mingyue discussed to prepare with both hands, if the enemy's reinforcements are less before dawn, they will be lured to the island to destroy them, if there are more, they will retreat, and they must all retreat after dawn, this big micro island is too conspicuous, once it is besieged by thousands of enemies, it will be very dangerous.

At about four o'clock in the evening, the scouting fighters reported that three gunboats had rushed towards Dawei Island, there was no doubt that this was the enemy's reinforcements, and they were coming too slowly, the soldiers had already cleaned the battlefield, the wounded had been transported out in batches, and the soldiers still had more than eighty people ready to meet them head-on.

Li Meng: "Company Commander Tang, there shouldn't be many enemies in this force, let's eat them, and we'll retreat after the fight, what do you think?"

"I'm okay with that, that's it, you can give the order. ”

The tactic adopted by Li Meng is to lure the enemy deep into raiding the enemy's gunboats, all the way the soldiers are responsible for resisting them near the dock and then retreating, after the pursuing enemy comes ashore, the soldiers are divided into several ways to attack the gunboats from different directions, when the drone drops bombs, the enemies on those gunboats are immediately killed and wounded, the reinforced enemy is only fifty or sixty people, after dividing half of the pursuing troops, the rest of the people immediately lost their combat effectiveness after the first round of bombardment, Li Meng did not wait for the enemy to come ashore to help and captured the three gunboats, and the gunboats still have two that can be started。

There weren't many enemies on the gunboats, and these mutants were so arrogant that so many people dared to chase after the fighters.

"Company Commander Tang, let's withdraw, the enemy who went ashore will ignore them, we have achieved a great victory, there is no need to spend here for such a few people, we have won, the sky is about to dawn, congratulations." ”

Tang Mingyue looked at the mutants who were careful to return to the reinforcements with a reluctant expression, the bombs made by Li Meng had run out, these enemies were ghostly, knowing that after the gunboat accident, they actually started a guerrilla war with the soldiers, although the soldiers were numerous, their marksmanship was not as good as the enemy, and if they continued to fight, there might be large casualties.

"Tell down, retreat, and don't leave a single warrior behind!"

…….

When the sky was bright, the two troops were scattered and retreated to various small islands, most of the barges and gunboats were withdrawn to Xiaodong Island, Li Meng still had to do an important thing, that is, to reorganize the troops, Xu Ran's troops are said to be in the northwest of Dalu Province, in order to form a joint force as soon as possible, Li Meng must also find them as soon as possible, as well as Qiao He's people, Liu Ermao's troops may not all be annihilated, and then find Wang Ze to settle accounts.

In the next half month, Li Meng was not in a hurry to expand his territory, Li Meng, Yun Xiaofang, and Tang Mingyue focused on Weihu, once the mutants appeared on Weihu, they would immediately attack, they would rest if they didn't come, train the team, strengthen ammunition rationing, repair the three gunboats, renovate the barge, improve the communication on Weihu, and gather all the fighters and activists who were originally scattered in various places to the islands of Weihu for intensive training.

Since the three gunboats are called gunboats, they naturally have cannons, and the enemy in the last battle of Dawei Island blew up Li Meng's drone before he could exert his power, and after returning to Xiaodong Island, Li Meng repaired them, and the three gunboats could be used for combat one after another.

There are also a few barges, which are loaded with fine coal, iron ore and steel, as well as some grain, etc., although not fully loaded but also made a lot of windfalls, Li Meng finally solved the dilemma of steel and coal, now what is lacking is the chemical industry, without the chemical industry can not manufacture gunpowder, initiation/explosive/powder and other materials.

During this time, the mutants also organized several reconnaissances, during the day, Li Meng asked the soldiers to let them in, and when the main force went out at night, they immediately killed one of them and turned over on their backs, and the reason why they were successful was precisely because Li Meng had a big killer weapon in his hand, that is, drone bombs, not to mention that the enemy was few, and there were many drones. Gunboats, etc., it is not difficult to kill their 180 people, and for a while the enemy does not know how many troops there are in Weihu; Li Meng is very worried that the mutants will find the traces of drones during the day, so he will only use this tactic at night.

After several failures, those mutants were also afraid, and they stopped attacking before they figured out the situation, Li Meng took the opportunity to spread the propaganda team, recruiting, publicizing, and training, but what bothered Li Meng a little was that Xu Ran's team could never be contacted, it should not be like this, Xu Ran was the nominal commander on the western front of the Dalu Line, and he should not disappear inexplicably, he should come out to preside over the overall situation.

Judging from the intelligence from all over the country, Xu Ran's troops should have been absorbed by the government's regular army, and the main force of the regular army in this vicinity is Shi San's troops, they are now mainly active in the northwestern provincial border of Dalu Province, Shi San, that is, the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army, this matter is a bit troublesome, if Shi San really fights mutants, forget it, the problem is that this person is not very firm, and the information Li Meng received is that Shi San and mutants also have dealings.

Headache, although Li Meng wanted to call Xu Ran's team back, the situation was not clear, but fortunately, the work during this period was very effective, the weapons were repaired, the team was also training, and the surrounding islands were also being launched, and it would be fine slowly.

Yun Xiaofang is the commander of the First Army of the Dalu New Army, Tang Mingyue is the commander of the Second Army of the Dalu New Army, there are about 200 soldiers in one army, there are more than 50 people in the directly subordinate team organized by Li Meng, 15 armed barges, 3 gunboats, 12 sets of drones, yachts, and rubber boats are not included in the battle sequence.

The gunboat is naturally a powered ship, and the parameters are:

Displacement: 250 tons

Full load displacement: 291 tons

Length: 55.9m

Width: 8.23m

Draft: 0.79m

Number of thruster axes: 3

Engines: 3 steam engines, 2 boilers

Power: 1400 hp

Maximum speed: 15 knots

Onboard fuel: 81 tons of coal

Armament: 2 76 mm guns, 6 6.5 mm machine guns

Crew: 59

The last battle was obviously rushed by the other side, the personnel on the gunboat were less than half, and the firepower was insufficient, and at the same time, Li Meng did not look down on the parameters of this kind of gunboat, what age did he still use a steam engine, a boiler, 15 knots, but Li Meng had no power to replace, so he could only make do with it, and did not dare to go out during the day, this pillar of smoke was too obvious, once the plane was targeted, there was only a way back to be bombed.
