Chapter 418 The First Island Chain

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom! ”

Now, it's lively!

All seven or eight mortars opened fire in unison, and black dots flew towards the castle one after another......

The mortarmen, who had been bombarded all the way, were holding their breath until now.

Made, since he became an army, he has never suffered such a big bag!

Now, damn red-haired people, let's taste the blossoming bombs of Lao Tzu!

For a while, the majestic Hongmao City, which had just returned the rumbling of cannons, exploded into one cloud of sky-high flames in an instant, and then fell into the smoke and dust in the sky......

"Put the dinghy, special operations team, on!"

Before the sound of artillery stopped, Lin Xiao issued the order to land.

"Yes!"

Situ Zheng saluted, tightened his belt, drew his pistol and left.

"Wait!"

Lin Xiao looked at the smashed deck and added coldly, "Tell them that Lao Tzu only needs to repair the ship's equipment, don't take prisoners!" ”

"Understood!"

……

Less than an hour later, the sound of gunfire and explosions on the shore gradually faded away......

To deal with this kind of castle with a small number of people but a complex structure, Lin Xiao sent his ace special operations team in order to quickly solve the battle and kill them all.

On this treasure island, he didn't want to see even the face of a Westerner, not even a missionary!

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Lin Xiao put down the binoculars and said lightly to the herald: "Herald, call Wang Dong and Wen Biaorui of the juvenile battalion to see me." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the battle of the special operations brigade is over, it will be time for the youth battalion to play, and he will find the little brothers and explain their tasks clearly.

The chicken coop, as well as the area around the Vale, will be handed over to the youth battalion that has not yet been stationed for a long time in the future.

These boys, the training of recruits is very hasty, there is almost no actual combat experience, most of them have not even completed their physical development, Lin Xiao does not plan to take them to the north to fight, this place is just right for them to rest and train.

The chicken coop is located in the northernmost part of the island, is the maritime gateway to the northern part of Taiwan Island, although it is mainly mountainous, far away from the densely populated area, compared with the south, the economic prospects are not good, but there is no shortage of food, especially the Tamsui River basin is a small basin, and the reclamation potential is great.

From a military point of view, it is not only directly facing the East China Sea, but also the closest port to the vast Pacific Ocean in this era, and its geographical location is very important.

Therefore, Lin Xiao didn't plan to hand over this place to Zheng Chenggong from the beginning.

In the pre-war agreement, he took advantage of Zheng Chenggong's weakness of attaching too much importance to the southwestern plains, and made an understatement and quietly kept this place in his own hands.

Because, in Lin Xiao's long-term plan, after he takes Japan and the Philippines and other places, he will build the first island chain in the sea to defend the land of China.

In his mind, the East China Sea and the South China Sea will completely become the inland seas of the Chinese Empire, and he will forever cut off the covetousness of the Western white pigs for the Eastern land.

And this will be an extremely important node in this pearl chain.

Lin Xiao planned that in time, a small fleet base would be built here, which should at least become one of the docking and supply depots for the East China Sea Fleet......

Soon, the "Longsheng" slowly sailed into the harbor, and a speedboat quickly sent the excited Wang Dong and Wen Biaorui to the "Qinzhou".

"Wang Dong, I'll let you take two companies to garrison here,"

Lin Xiao smiled at Wang Dong, who was excited, and said, "Do you have confidence?" ”

"What...... What the? ”

Xiao Wang Dong blinked vigorously, and his originally smiling face immediately froze, dumbfounded!

Aren't you going to kill the red hair?

Stationed here? What else is there to fight here?

"Why, I didn't hear the order?"

Lin Xiao turned his face and deliberately accentuated the word order.

"Hear me, commander-in-chief......"

Wang Dong replied curtly, and the little guy was about to cry.

"I'm going north soon, I'll hand over this place to you, and you'll be the feudal officials,"

Lin Xiao's face paleated slightly, and he softened his tone and said, "You are still young, don't go to the north, here you can eat your stomach and raise yourself strong, when we drive away the Tartars, turn around and take you to the West, there are still many battles waiting for you to fight......

"Commander-in-Chief...... What about me? ”

After waiting for a long time and not mentioning himself, Wen Biaorui on the side couldn't hold back.

"Xiaowen come with me,"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at him, and said lightly, "The day after tomorrow, we will attack Hongmao City at the mouth of the Tamsui River, and you will take a company and garrison there." ”

"Uh......"

Despite his mental preparation, Xiao Biaorui is still like a bucket of cold water poured from head to toe.

knew that this big brother would definitely not favor himself, and sure enough.

"The first time to lead a soldier alone, do you have any confidence?"

Seeing that he didn't squeak, Lin Xiao stared at him tightly and asked, "Don't embarrass me." ”

"Yes! Commander! ”

Lin Xiao is Xiao Biaorui's idol, where does he dare to be tough, he saluted and answered loudly.

"Well, good attitude,"

Lin Xiao nodded approvingly, turned his head to look directly at Wang Dong, "What about you?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief and resolutely carry out the order!"

Seeing this, Wang Dong immediately stood up and saluted and shouted loudly.

Although he was unwilling, the order could not be changed, and he could only carry it out honestly.

"Okay, this is my soldier,"

Lin Xiao patted his immature shoulder, and said gently, "It's one thing to be determined, it's another thing to complete the task, you guys are stationed here alone, and you have to put military training first......

Wang Dong stood tall and said nothing.

"Especially you, you are the best in military quality, and you are fully responsible for the training of the whole battalion,"

Lin Xiao said to Wang Dong, "I want you to stay here, you are the guards here, whether it is the Dutch, the Franco, or the Japanese, they will never be allowed to set half of their feet on land!" ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"I've thought about it, actually, it's enough for this castle to have a company garrison,"

After a pause, Lin Xiao continued, "The other company can go all the way inland along the Jilong River, occupy several important places along the river, and help the local people maintain law and order. ”

"It's the same for you there, you have to send people to set up a few strongholds along the Tamsui River to prevent the mountain bandits from making trouble,"

Lin Xiao said to Wen Biaorui, "In short, after the red hair is eliminated, you must have a good relationship with the people, you can't be bullies, just charge a little symbolic of the year, and the price of purchasing grain and requisitioning people must be fair, so as to ensure that they live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Dong and Wen Biaorui spoke in unison and responded loudly.

"Hmm,"

Lin Xiao nodded, "Go and prepare, go ashore immediately and clean up the battlefield." ”

……

The next day, the whole army rested.

Using the ship repair materials left by the red hair, the sailors quickly repaired the damaged bulwark of the "Qinzhou".

The others seized the time to clean up the battlefield, cleaned up the most damaged parts of the castle, and moved the ammunition and living supplies of the youth battalion into the castle, even if it was to give them a home.

In the future, it is up to them to train and live.

Lin Xiao believes that Xiao Wang Dong, who was born as a hunter, will definitely be able to complete the task well and lead his brothers to repel all invading enemies.

It's just that in terms of dealing with the relationship with the local people, Lin Xiao is still not very at ease.

Most of the people here are indigenous, and the people are fierce and uncivilized, so I hope the children have enough wisdom to grow up in the experience.

……

Thank you for the tips of "Linglong" and "Descendant Fangye"! Thank you dear!
