Volume VIII 1269 Russia Enters

Next chapter

Since the Battle of Amami Oshima, the reputation of the Chinese Zenshou has spread in the global military circles, and the Chinese soldiers who are well versed in civil engineering operations have run a series of forts as impregnable.

With artillery as the core, the surrounding area is full of tunnels, trenches, shooting bunkers, and artificially touched mines on the periphery, including traps.

Each battery was a small military fortress, and soldiers ran back and forth in bunkers, counterattacking in between enemy artillery bombardments.

The area of Luma Island itself is not large, and the six batteries can give fire support to each other, and the accuracy of the new rifled guns is not comparable to the smoothbore guns of the past.

Stefansky's eyes narrowed at the moment, and the groups of dead soldiers in front of him appeared as if they were not his men, and the corners of his mouth showed a cruel sneer.

"That's right, that's right, this is the combat power you should have, the more fierce you resist, the more important the treasure island is...... Keep fighting, I won't have the slightest mercy for human life, this is the price of war, as long as you can test your hole cards, I don't mind letting these soldiers all die......"

Good commanders have one thing in common, that is, they never take human life as human life, whether it is to the enemy or to themselves, Stefansky is one of them.

When the fourth wave of the attack failed, Stefansky nodded: "Almost, the enemy's hole cards should be so much, stop increasing troops on Lyma Island, and the army troop carriers will enter the waterway from the entrance of the Eastern Strait, preparing to land on the main island!"

"Leave this outlying island to the artillery and the rest of the soldiers to deal with, and I'll take you to get the gold!"

The war is really full of unpredictability, and Xiao Letian's plan is to keep the six batteries silent and never open fire until the enemy enters the strait.

But everyone underestimated Stefansky's vigilance, if the battery was not exposed, if these Russian troops could not find Xiao Letian's army from Lyma Island within three hours, then Stefansky would take the fleet and leave, and would never send a single battleship to the strait.

If that were the case, all the arrangements would be in vain, and Xiao Letian's ambush would have become a joke.

At the most critical moment, the reckless behavior of several artillerymen, their brazen disobedience to military orders, and their brazen disobedience to military orders, pushed the war onto the right track, is not a kind of irony.

Or rather, this is called the providence of heaven in the dark!

The tiger finally entered the cage, the reserve regiment on the sea was activated, one after another troop carriers entered from the eastern waterway of the strait, the frigates pressed the northern part of the troop transport fleet, and the artillery was vigilantly aimed at the main island in the north, they knew where there must be hidden batteries.

All the suspicious hills were swept by artillery, and after three rounds of testing, the batteries on the main island in the north were finally exposed, and the gray cement fortifications were exposed under the overturned camouflage, which looked like scars on the mountains from a distance.

"Report to the commander, three batteries have been found on the main island......!

"Report to the commander, Captain Hermansky has sent a signal that there is a mass exodus of fishing and cargo ships in the East, and the Chinese on the main island are fleeing into the Pacific Ocean......"

"Report to the commander that nearly 400 fishing boats and merchant ships have appeared on the east side of Amami Oshima and are fleeing towards the ocean, and Captain Hermansky asks whether to intercept ......."

"Report to the Commander ......"

The latest battle situation flew in front of the commander, and what was surprising was that the more chaotic the battle, the more relaxed the expression of the commander of the expeditionary force became.

"Hermansky, leave those fishing boats and cargo ships alone, now the enemy's frantic counterattack is proof that the gold is still hidden on the island, this is a gift from God to us, don't care about the details!"

"Let him block the east entrance of the strait, and shell the batteries on Luma Island in the south, and assist the army in solving the problem in the south of the battlefield, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest......"

The battlefield is a chessboard, and in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, the war is chaotic and irregular, and they can only feel the hellish scenes around them, the fragments of the explosion are flying, the figure of the enemy rushing out of the smoke of gunpowder, the bayonets are shining like a forest, and the roar of explosives bags is endless.

But in the mind of the commander, war is a chess game, and every soldier's life is insignificant, all he has to do is put the right chess pieces in the right place.

The previous temptations were all to find the chess pieces laid by Xiao Letian, and now that they have been discovered, the general attack will naturally begin.

The fighting on Lüma Island in the south was still fierce, but the defeat of the Chinese New Army was irreversible, and no matter how frantic the defenders of the fort resisted, when the detachment led by Hermansky began shelling from the east, the Cape Fort soon fell.

The black smoke of the explosion rose into the air, and the defenders who shouted the slogan of the same end exploded the ammunition depot, and the fall of the Cape Fort suddenly collapsed the corner of the defensive triangle, and the pressure on the other two batteries suddenly increased.

At the last moment of the battle, the officers of the Nakajima Fort and the Lüma Fort even organized suicide attacks again and again, and the soldiers strapped full of high explosives rushed into the enemy's formation, forcing back the Russian attacks again and again.

But they were powerless to do so, and soon the fort was destroyed by the explosives thrown by the Russian grenadiers, and now only the Nakajima fort is still holding out.

The company commander, who was covered in blood, looked at the corpses in the tunnel, turned his head to look at the Russian troops crawling on the hillside, and wiped the blood on his face fiercely, "Brothers, wait for me, don't go so fast, I'm coming, I'm coming......"

The stumbling company commander slammed his body through the iron door of the ammunition depot, and inside was a mountain of shells and bombs. The fuse had already been connected, and more than a dozen detonators were evenly packed in all corners of the ammunition depot, and if you lit the dominant fuse on the table, it would explode into ruins in a matter of seconds.

Prying open a bottle of rum with his teeth, the company commander drank half a bottle with a grunt, and there was a crippled can of beef on the table, the broth in it had solidified the fat of the white flower and glowed with condensation.

I didn't use chopsticks, I just dug up several pieces of beef with my hands and stuffed them in my mouth, "Damn, I can't be a starving ghost!"

The match was lit, a thick cigar sprayed smoke, and he choked and coughed, at this time the company commander suddenly faced the west, facing the direction of Gao Bo Mountain, and shouted, "Brothers of Gao Bo Mountain, hold back, you must hold back for us! The death of five hundred brothers is exchanged for your life! You must guard until the most critical moment and then fight! Don't let our sacrifice be meaningless......

"Prime Minister, my son will be raised by you...... Hahaha!" The bright cigar butts in the laughter pressed the fuse on the fuse, and at the same time the swarming Russian troops had jumped into the trenches.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The chain reaction of the explosion blew the Nakajima Fort into ruins, and Ryumajima's resistance finally disappeared.
