Because there are horses to ride, it takes less than an hour to run around Liuhuang Island. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

It is said to be an inspection, that is, to see whether the officers and soldiers of each camp have gotten up on time, carried out their work as planned, and whether there are any abnormalities.

In these three months, not many fortifications have been built, and the number of officers and soldiers who can't think about it because of depression and the number of officers and soldiers who use the wounded as an excuse has increased several times.

Just the day before yesterday, Li Zhong also executed two deserters who had secretly climbed onto the transport ship and wanted to leave Liuhuang Island.

According to Li Zhong, twenty years after the war, because there has been no war, the comfortable life has passed for too long, and there are so many pampered pacifier soldiers.

In the last war, the bravery of the officers and men of the narrow army was known all over the world.

It takes a fight to cheer up the younger generation!

Instead of returning to headquarters, Li Zhong went to the beach on the north side of the island. The accompanying staff officer had already figured out his habit and brought breakfast with him.

Actually, it's the rice in the insulated box, as well as some ingredients and condiments needed to cook the ball.

Don't look at Li Zhong as a major general, he has no privileges at all in terms of food.

This was true of the entire Narrow Army.

From the commander downwards, what he pursues is not to eat well, but to eat well.

Sometimes, it's good not to be hungry.

According to unofficial statistics, during the last war, about 500,000 soldiers died of cold or cold-related diseases on the Icestorm Peninsula alone.

In the final year of the war, millions of civilians died in a drought-induced famine in the Imperial State.

In the resource-scarce Imperial Kingdom, even a general can eat a rice ball made of white rice.

When the battle starts, it will be said whether there are rice balls to eat or not.

While the staff officer was preparing breakfast, Li Zhong sat down facing north, in the direction of his homeland.

Over there, there are not only hometowns, but also relatives who think about them day and night.

Many times, it is only when he thinks of his family who is far away that Li Zhong feels that the suffering here is very valuable, and he has the courage to persevere.

Of course, not everyone thinks so.

The battle hasn't started yet, what's there to be sad about?

"Commander, are the combat aircraft of the Navy arriving today?"

Hearing the staff officer's words, Li Zhongcai opened his eyes and looked in the direction reminded by the staff officer.

In the distance, a fleet of dozens of planes was flying in this direction. It's just that it's too far away to be clear at all, and there's no way to make out it.

Li Zhong was a little puzzled.

After the outbreak of the war, he submitted a report to the base camp, hoping to replenish a batch of fighters for Liuhuangdao as soon as possible.

Li Zhong specifically mentioned in the telegram that he would organize personnel to expand the airfield on the island as soon as possible, to be precise, next to the runway at the foot of Bobo Mountain, and level a field to accommodate parked combat aircraft. If necessary, a military camp could also be built next to the airport.

It's a pity that the base camp didn't agree at all.

In the callback, those guys who were on a vegetarian meal clearly told Li Zhong that the defense of Liuhuang Island belonged to the navy, and it was the Liang Xia Navy that needed to be dealt with, so even if combat aircraft were to be deployed to Liuhuang Island, they would have to be dispatched by the navy, not by the army.

In addition, Li Zhong's request will be conveyed to the Military Command Department.

It's just that it is not known whether the Military Command Department promised to send combat aircraft to Liuhuang Island, and what type and how many combat planes to be sent.

In short, just a word, patiently waiting for news.

After that, Li Zhong organized the officers and men on the island to level the ground next to the runway, erect barracks, and set up anti-aircraft gun positions.

It's a pity that there has been no news and no other additions, not even anti-aircraft guns!

In order to strengthen training and let the officers and men enter the state ahead of time, Li Zhong also organized staff officers to build antiaircraft guns with wooden sticks, and then let the officers and men conduct drills.

To say, on this volcanic island, even wood is rare.

Was that a plane sent by the Navy?

Even if it's a plane sent by the Navy, it's time to say hello in advance.

Is it difficult to send a telegram?

When Li Zhong stood up, a staff officer had already run over, took out the telescope from the box hanging from the saddle, and ran back.

"Commander!"

Li Zhong didn't say much, grabbed the binoculars, and looked at the planes.

It's all single-engine planes, and it does look a bit like a carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, but just looking at the appearance, there's always something not quite right.

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, put down the binoculars and looked back.

Behind him, the sun had just risen.

The plane is from the west!

If the plane is coming from the mainland, it should be coming from the north, and it will be slightly east, i.e. Liuhuangdao is southwest of the volcanic archipelago.

The stations that transmit radio navigation signals are built on those islands northeast of Liuhuang Island.

In any case, it should not fly from the west.

That's not a Navy plane!

Thinking of this, Li Zhong's face suddenly turned pale.

"Commander ......"

"Go...... Go to the headquarters...... Quick, hurry up, send the alarm, send the alarm immediately......"

At the same time as he spoke, Li Zhong also pushed the staff officer who reminded him, and pointed to the war horse tied to the coconut tree more than ten meters away.

The staff officer dared to ask more, turned around and ran towards the war horse.

To say, the staff officer was not frightened by those planes in the sky, but was taken aback by Li Zhong's demeanor.

In the past few months, when has Li Zhong been so flustered?

In fact, Li Zhong also realized that he had lost his temper.

When the staff officer jumped on his war horse and ran away, Li Zhongcai walked towards the coconut grove.

This is the only coconut grove on the island, only here is some dirt, the rest of the island is all lava.

At this time, the group of planes had already flown over Liuhuang Island.

Several enemy planes swooped down and fired at the same time, with machine guns mounted on the wings.

That's right, that's a fighter!

One of them, eyeing the galloping horse, the staff officer who had gone to report the news, had already opened fire when he swooped down.

Run, run, run!

Under Li Zhong's gaze, a rain of bullets enveloped the warhorse, and to be precise, the stone chips and dust splashed on the ground by the bullets obscured the view.

The bullet rain is so dense that you can't escape.

"Commander, be careful!"

While Li Zhong was paying attention to the messenger staff, another fighter swooped down towards the woods.

The pilot of the fighter must have seen a war horse tethered to a coconut tree, and perhaps Li Zhong, but he didn't recognize it.

It's so far away, even if you know what Li Zhong looks like, you can't see it clearly.

Of course, it was certainly a high-ranking officer who was qualified to ride a horse.

On this volcanic island full of stones and birds don't poop, it was a luxury to have a few horses for people to ride, not for transporting goods.

To say, it is also that the degree of mechanization of the narrow army is not high enough, and there are not so many vehicles, so they can only be replaced by war horses.

The staff officer pounced as he shouted loudly.

It's a pity it's late.

A storm of bullets rained down from the sky, and immediately enveloped the entire coconut grove. If anything, there are only a dozen or so coconut trees.

That's four 13-mm aviation machine guns, and without a rate of fire regulator, the maximum rate of fire was 900 rounds per minute.

Four machine guns fired at the same time, firing 60 rounds in one second, and a short burst was often 5 seconds, firing 300 rounds.

Critically, the power of the 13mm bullet is too great.

As long as you take a shot, no matter where you hit, even if you don't die, you have to be crippled!

On this island, if you are seriously injured, you can only wait for death.
