Chapter 115: The Life You Longing For
Compared with the little devils who stayed on the warship in the rear, they were more shocked by the scene of the burning sea in front of them. The little devil in the sea of fire is undergoing the unbearable scorching of ordinary people, and from time to time the little devil is ignited by the flames.
Even though it is next to the sea, jumping into the sea can extinguish the flames on your body. The problem is that these little devils are not fish, and they will eventually surface for ventilation when they jump into the sea. And at this moment, the sea surface still can't escape the end of being burned to death.
The little devil in the midst of the fire bears the blazing roast of the sea of fire. The little devil infantry, who had already come down from the troop carrier, was under heavy artillery fire. The makeshift barracks did not provide them with shelter at all.
The mountain artillery and heavy artillery attacked in turn, so that the little devils who seized the tidal flats could only desperately flee around. There are also little devils who try to fight with the defenders of the defensive position, but they are still only sent to death in vain. Choose to dodge, and maybe you can save a life.
The war materiel, which had been brought down from the ship with great difficulty, was also burned or blown up in the blow of one shell after another. Seeing the situation on this side of the tidal flat, the commander of the Japanese fleet suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood.
"Yaga! Why is this happening? Damn, who set this trap? ”
Previously, the infantry brigade sent a wing to attack the opponent's defensive positions, but the defenders only used small-caliber infantry guns or mortars to carry out artillery fire. The mountain artillery and heavy artillery that are now used for long-range artillery shelling have been hidden in their hands and are useless.
Seeing a fleet commander with a red face, there were also staff officers next to him who felt that they might be really in a hurry. From the counterattack plan of the defenders, it can be seen that they deliberately let the Japanese land in the evening.
If the fleet had chosen to rest outside the harbor for the night, perhaps none of this would have happened. At worst, they can also call in the air force to provide air reinforcements, which can destroy the defenders' artillery positions in the shortest possible time.
At present, the fighters of the Air Force cannot take off at all, and the artillery carried by the infantry brigades and regiments cannot be transported to the shore because the warships cannot dock at the dock. All signs show that all their actions have been calculated to death by the other party!
Thinking about this, many Japanese combat staff officers were extremely curious and vigilant: "Who is the commander of this battle?" I'm afraid that this person knows the combat methods of our army very well, and if we don't solve this person, there will be trouble in the future! ”
When the shelling finally ended, the flames could still be seen burning on the sea. Seeing that the sea of fire was finally extinguished, the fleet commander immediately said: "Send patrol boats to attack and detonate those mines buried in the water!" ”
"Hey!"
"General, what are you going to do?"
"Yaga! There are still surviving warriors on the shore, and we must rescue them. Get the warship up and continue the shelling for me. Damn it, I'm going to let the defenders on the shore know how serious the consequences of provoking us are! ”
"Hey!"
There was fire on the sea before, and the Japanese battleships staying in the rear did not dare to approach. Now seeing that there are still some surviving little devils on the shore, it is impossible for the officers and men on the fleet not to save them. As for the mines, quite a few have been detonated before.
When it was impossible to dismantle it, the fleet commander directly ordered patrol boats with a small displacement to launch a suicidal attack and detonate the remaining mines. Then the large warships leaned in and attacked the artillery positions on the shore.
With the caliber and range of the Japanese naval guns, it was naturally possible to hit the artillery positions of the defenders. But in fact, after the heavy artillery battalion ran out of shells, after a whistle sounded, everyone withdrew from their positions, and the heavy artillery was also discarded on the positions.
Even before leaving, the artillery of the 2nd Division, which cooperated with the operation, blew up the barrels of the heavy artillery. In this way, even if these cannons fall into the hands of the little devils, the little devils will not be able to use them at all. Entering the jungle, these heavy artillery pieces are also inconvenient to move.
As for the mountain artillery battalion directly under the 2nd Division, it immediately moved its position after the little devil's fleet stopped shelling without waiting for the little devil's fleet to make a move. The cars parked next to the positions quickly pulled the mountain guns away and went to the rear for transfer.
Although the heavy guns were more powerful than the mountain guns, they could store only a limited number of shells and were extremely cumbersome to carry. The mountain artillery is small in weight and light, and it is suitable for transportation by combat troops, so it is naturally necessary to cherish it.
What's more, Hu Biao has already taken away a few of the previous heavy artillery. When needed in the future, it can be erected and continued to be used. As for the shells, Hu Biao also reserved a lot. A few shellings, I don't think it's a problem!
By the time the Japanese fleet began its retaliatory bombardment, most of the defenders in the city had withdrawn or taken cover. In the eyes of many officers and soldiers who set off for departure, the Japanese artillery bombardment was more like a salute to see them off!
Major Peake, who was leading the remaining colonial troops away, sighed in his heart: "If it weren't for Vic inviting General Lei to help in the war, we would not be able to resist the invasion of the Fuso army with our own strength alone. It's really time for us to wake up! ”
The young French officers who were following Pique also felt a little hot when they heard this. It stands to reason that Haiphong City is the city they are stationing into, but now that it is being invaded, they have chosen to evacuate.
The task after the break was handed over to the wolf army who helped the battle, which made them feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, before leaving the city, Nuvik also told these officers that they needed to preserve their strength, for the sake of the colony and for the sake of Faransi.
As young Franco-French officers who have become vigilant, they need to take on the responsibility of reviving the Franco-French army. Such remarks made these young officers excited and excited. When I left, I also felt that the responsibility on my shoulders was heavier.
On the other hand, Lei Xiong, who was in charge of the broken back, took advantage of the little devils' crazy artillery bombardment to retaliate and transfer those surviving landing Japanese troops, Lei Xiong also ordered the troops to retreat. The explosives that had been reserved earlier were successively filled into the pre-dug pits.
After the large army retreats, a reconnaissance team will still be retained on the side of Haiphong City. Their task is very simple, that is, to wait for the right time to detonate these explosives buried deep in the ground, and then severely damage the little devils who occupy Haiphong City.
Considering that after dawn, it is very likely that the little devils will bomb Haiphong City. As a result, most of the pits used to bury explosives were dug deeper. The detonation line of the cloth is also buried in the ground. In this way, it can also avoid being blown up.
I believe that when the explosion is launched, the little devils will also want to cry and find out without tears that they have taken over a port city like ruins. Even the previous port has become dilapidated at the moment, and the Japanese army needs to invest manpower and material resources to repair it.
In Hu Biao's words, fighting a war is actually a matter of logistics. Blowing up Haiphong City, which the little devils will definitely not give up, will also consume a lot of financial and material resources for the little devils. And in the short term, it will be difficult for the port city to recover.
When the little devil's shelling was over, Lei Xiong also smiled and said: "The land on the beach will grow more lushly if it is used to grow vegetables next year!" Inform the forward defense forces and prepare to retreat! ”
"Yes, Commander!"
"Send a telegram to the three regiments again, monitor the little devils coming from Guinan, and as soon as we arrive, we will immediately find an opportunity to encircle the little devils. Clean up these little devils, we should be able to rest for a while. ”
"Division Commander, in today's battle, I don't know how many devils we have eliminated?"
"It should be no less! In terms of results, it should be no worse than the previous record of the first division. Earlier, you also saw that under our shelling, many warships of the little devils were sunk. A warship should be worth a lot of money, right? ”
Faced with the inquiries of his subordinates, Lei Xiong also replied with a smile. Although in the previous blocking battle, the first regiment also paid some price. In terms of the overall battle loss ratio, Lei Xiong still feels very pleased.
Although they formed the army later than the first division, they were the first main division of the wolf army to enter the colony to fight. As the new division commander, Lei Xiong also needs a victory to tell others that he, the division commander, is not a vegetarian!
The little devils located outside the harbor began to clean up the mess on the sea and rescue those who survived the shelling. Although Lei Xiong can also send troops to pursue and encircle and suppress, Lei Xiong feels that it is better not to force too hard.
In contrast, letting the little devils rescue those survivors back to the ship would also be even more demoralizing to the Japanese army. In the defensive position, in addition to retaining a small number of alert troops, Lei Xiong quickly advanced in the direction of Longzhou with a regiment.
As for Nuvik and his White Bear Commando, they also left the city after a long time. Looking at the villa he had purchased outside the city, Nuvik said with a little pity: "Alas, it's a pity for my manor!" ”
"Head, rest assured! When we get to the rear, we'll find a way to build you a more beautiful manor! ”
For the comfort of his subordinates, Nuvik also laughed and scolded: "Are you richer than me? If you make money, you still have to find a way to find a woman to marry and start a family. We've built a new town in the rear, and you'll all have a home there! ”
"Really? Can we get married? ”
"Absolutely! The big boss said that as long as the team members have served for one year, they can apply for marriage. The premise is that you have to have a partner. You are all members of the Revival Society, and the organization will prepare a wedding house for you in the town.
These will be given as benefits to you, provided that you perform better. When the war is over, maybe we will be able to stay in the town, sit in the yard and bake bread with our children, wives and families! ”
The life of wives and children is not only the expectation of the Chinese people, but also the life that many Belarusians yearn for. Some of the commandos who had already moved their families here knew that they already had their own town in the rear.
Although these towns look like the infrastructure is a bit rudimentary. But the whole town is basically inhabited by residents of the same race. There, they have absolute control and don't have to be constrained too much.
This is what many of the Belarusian youths who have joined the Renaissance have always hoped for. For the sake of the peace of their families in the rear, they must also work hard for this. As long as they are willing to work hard, life will eventually get better and better!
