Chapter 44 Indian Attack The Indian Chief Visits
The Indians who were shot away by the Marines were really frightened, but they were more angry. It seemed to them that it was the tradition of the Indians here to be friendly to the guests when they came to their land, but these savage intruders, not only did not appreciate it, but threatened them with such devilish things, which was absolutely intolerable.
The frightened Indians returned to their stockades and immediately reported the matter to the tribal chief.
As soon as the chief heard of this great deal, he immediately sent a notice to the various stockades, and summoned the heads of the various stockades to discuss the matter.
These heads, all dressed in the finest animal skins and with faces of various colors, were simply furious when they heard that the invaders were so savage. They said that they must severely punish these invading demons, and they must drive them away as soon as possible, or kill them resolutely, otherwise there will be endless troubles. For this reason, they asked the great wizard to divinate what to do.
The Great Wizard danced around the fire, and finally told the gods that the gods had said, "If you don't drive out these invaders, the land here will be taken over by the invaders!" ”
The chieftain and the heads of the various villages were even more indignant. They decided to gather their men and horses to take a surprise attack to eliminate the invaders.
The Indians have a set of wars, they sent people to reconnoiter Wu Sangui's camp on their shore, these people conceal their ability, which is not comparable to the specially trained special forces, these eyes look at the camp, those Marine soldiers who are not vigilant at all, they don't think of it at all, let alone notice.
The Indians knew very well about the situation in the camp, where were the storehouses, where the personnel lived, and most importantly, where were the open posts and secret posts, all of which were clearly investigated.
Although the population density of the Indians here is not very large, there are many people who have been sent to the surrounding areas to ask for help, and the people of their own tribe, plus the Indians of other tribes who have come to reinforce, there are more than 1,000 people.
After they asked the great wizard to hold a prayer ceremony, they quietly set off to the shore camp of Wu Sangui and them on the beach according to the plan.
These Indians, who usually lived by fishing and hunting, quietly approached the unsuspecting sentinels, and all of them suddenly struck, piercing the sentries by the throats with sharp blades made of whale teeth, or shooting them with poisoned arrows, killing them one by one. Then, the Indians in the back quietly flooded into the camp like flowing water, a stream of Indians, approaching the tent as the duty room of the communication squad, the signal soldier on duty inside heard that there seemed to be movement outside, the alert signal soldier took out the ** top bullet on his waist, quietly opened the curtain of the tent, and suddenly a sharp blade made of whale bone stabbed him in the chest, and the signal soldier pulled the trigger hard before dying.
After a day of high-intensity labor, the officers and soldiers in the camp slept very deeply in the tents, but they were all soldiers. A gunshot rang out, and they all knew something was wrong.
Unfortunately, many of the sappers had no weapons around them, and what was even more terrifying was that those who rushed out of the tent with little combat experience were immediately killed by the Indians who were lying in ambush outside the tent.
But there were some of the soldiers who were armed, and some of the marines calmed down, and the situation improved little by little, especially when the Indians set fire to the storehouse and some tents, and there was a fire in the camp, and these Indians were exposed to the fire, and they became targets for automatic rifles. Although the Indians continued to rush from all directions, the soldiers of the kiln were already approaching each other, cooperating with each other, and gradually establishing several support points.
At this time, the cannons of the warships on the sea began to bombard the camp around, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers of the kiln post on the shore.
These Indians had never heard such an explosion louder than thunder, and the Indians had been killed by hundreds, and the chieftain who commanded the attack looked really invincible, and after a sharp whistle, these Indians, who were extremely agile, suddenly receded like a tide.
The commander of the engineer corps who led the construction understood that today's losses were too great, and the materials transported ashore were burned, and there was no need to save them at all. He immediately went straight to the tent where the radio was played, and saw that the signal corpsman was in front of the tent door, still holding a pistol in his hand, and knew that if he hadn't shot and reported the news, the loss would have been even greater.
At dawn, Wu Sangui and Lin Feng came to the shore camp in small boats.
The camp on the shore was in a mess, which made Wu Sangui and Lin Feng feel very sad. After counting, more than 100 officers and soldiers were killed in last night's attack, and dozens of people were injured.
Wu Sangui and Lin Feng both knew that the ordinary battles fought by the people of Yaogang would not kill or injure so many people. Even more terrifying, a lot of automatic rifles were lost. These rifles were a great threat to them, and if the Indians were to master them, the consequences would be very bad.
After careful inspection, Wu Sangui determined that the attackers were more than 1,000 people, and more than 400 people were killed this time. The weapons in their hands are very primitive, there are very few metal weapons, and they use animal bones and other things.
Without eliminating these threats, there would be no way to construct with peace of mind, Wu Sangui decided to use his own guards as the mainstay, and sent an army of more than 200 people to expand the search area to find the villages of these escaped savages, the only inconvenience was that the horses brought with the ship were too few, only more than a hundred. The cavalry and infantry had to cooperate and dispatch.
Before the team set off, Wu Sangui said to them: "Although you are not many in number, the weapons in your hands cannot be compared to those savages. The reason why they took advantage of us is that they took advantage of our carelessness and succeeded in sneak attack! As long as you are vigilant, with the weapons in your hands, 10,000 savages will not be able to get close to you! Your mission is to find out where the wild people's nests are, and don't fight them, we will send a large team of men to surround them. ”
But the party had gone far and found a few villages that had been abandoned, and had never seen another wild man they were looking for. The captain of this team found nothing after looking for a few days, so he had to use the radio to ask Wu Sangui for instructions on what to do next?
Wu Sangui and Lin Fengyi discussed, since the savages had run away, as long as it would not affect our construction, they ordered the team to come back first. This time, though, they let the sentries out far away. Moreover, a lot of watchtowers were built in shifts.
Although the savage ran away, he lost twenty-two rifles, which buried a trace of uneasiness in the hearts of both Wu Sangui and Lin Feng.
With the entire engineering regiment and some of the infantry who came with the ship landed, Lin Fengxian also lived on the shore with his people. The sappers built a fortified camp out of felled wood. Every time the sappers went out to cut wood, they sent a lot of people to stand guard for them.
It had been safe and sound, but suddenly one evening, the watchman on the tower spotted several wild men looking out of the woods outside the stockade, and another wild man climbed up the tree to look this way, and although they were very hidden, they were clearly seen by the sentry with a telescope. This sentry immediately notified Lin Feng by phone.
Lin Feng felt that this was a good opportunity, and immediately asked a team of thirty people of the Marine Corps to set off quietly, trying to find the hiding place of these wild men according to the traces left by these wild men who came to investigate.
The Marines quietly set off from the other direction of the camp. When they left the camp, they quietly surrounded the place where the wild men were haunted, according to the direction indicated by the sentry.
These marines were also veterans of the battlefield and very experienced, and after they surrounded the place, they pounced into the air, and the wild men were long gone. But there were obvious traces of them on the ground. The team leader knew that it would be dark now, and the wild men would not walk in the mountains and forests at night, and they must have hidden somewhere, so the team leader ordered the soldiers to disperse and search forward.
As they were marching towards a col to the east, the leader of the squad suddenly smelled a smell of smoke, and quickly gathered the soldiers together with the sound of pheasants, and sniffed, and the soldiers also smelled the smoke, which meant that these wild men were nearby.
Everyone quietly touched in the direction where the smell of smoke came from. After walking quietly for a while, the squad leader suddenly stopped everyone with a gesture, he pulled out his dagger and touched it forward, and then suddenly got up and covered the mouth of a sentry savage with one hand, and at the same time the dagger stabbed him in the chest. The wild man died of a limp. The squad leader placed him on the ground.
These Indians who came out to reconnoiter also made a mistake, they thought that the opponent had built a strong camp, and they were afraid of being attacked by a sneak attack, and they must have hidden in the camp when it was dark and did not dare to come out. So, they also brought in hares and pheasants, and barbecued them behind a boulder to prepare dinner. They didn't expect that their brother, who was guarding outside, had already been killed.
Originally, the task of this team was to track these people and find their nest. But now the situation has changed, and if you don't take action, you don't know what will happen in one night. Thinking of this, the team leader decisively ordered the team to disperse and surround it. After surrounding the wild men, they began to close the net.
When the savages noticed the people who had come up and wanted to stand up and take their weapons, the members of the squad suddenly jumped out and pointed their guns at the people gathered around the fire. A few savages took up their arms and were immediately unceremoniously killed with rifles, and after some confusion, a dozen of them were killed, and the remaining six or seven sat motionless on the ground.
The squad went over and tied up the squeaky and screaming ones one by one. To the great delight of the squad, eighteen automatic rifles were seized from these people. These savages probably haven't learned to use rifles, they carry rifles, bows, arrows, and spears.
The team escorted these people back to the camp, and Lin Feng was overjoyed when he saw that he had captured eighteen rifles. Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and decided to put back a wild man, and let him go back and tell them the chieftain to exchange the remaining automatic rifles for prisoners.
After dawn, Lin Feng asked the captives to give them some food, and then gestured with an automatic rifle, saying to an older captive that he would let him go, but asked them to exchange the automatic rifle for the remaining captives.
After talking for a long time, the captive finally seemed to understand, Lin Feng asked the captive to give him something to eat, and gave him his bow, arrows and spears, for fear that he would be eaten by the bears in the mountains and forests after he went out.
When the captive was leaving, he and the remaining captives muttered to the rest of the captives and didn't know what to say, Lin Feng probably asked them to wait for him to come back to save them.
The floating wharf that the officers and men had tied up with wooden rows was finally pushed into the water, and when they were pushed down for a section, they also had to be loaded with steel nets and thrown into the sea to make anchors and fix the wharf, until the floating wharf leaned next to the big ship. To build such a floating wharf, the kiln sappers are still very experienced.
After the floating dock was built, the crane on the big ship lifted the tractor to the dock, and the sappers drove the tractor ashore. As long as the wind and waves are not particularly strong, the unloading work can be carried out in shifts day and night.
After the large machinery and equipment are landed, the work efficiency is much higher, and the land on the shore is very flat with a bulldozer. These things made the captives who came out to let off steam. All this is far beyond their comprehension.
Human beings are like this, and what they can't understand by themselves is classified as God and God. These captives felt that they had been taken captive by God.
The captive had been gone for a few days without any news, and Wu Sangui was also very anxious after he went ashore, and if he could get a few rifles back, it would be the best. In fact, for them, it is simply too important to kill a few more savages and a few less. They had killed countless people on the battlefield, but if they lost these automatic rifles, they would not be able to account for them to the kiln.
Just when everyone had lost confidence in the prisoner who had been released, suddenly the sentry on the watchtower called and said, "There seems to be a group of people in the distance!" ”
At this time, in addition to Yaogang's own people, outsiders must be local savages.
Now Wu Sangui and the others all hate the savages here to death. These savages, whom they had not looked down on at all, suddenly attacked them and killed more than 100 of them at once, which was a great shame and a shame that they could not accept.
But Wu Sangui and Lin Feng want to lead the people to gain a foothold here, and they can't be too impulsive. They know that the kind of Indians that Mr. Zhang said in the round of war are all coming together, and they can kill them all when the army arrives. But there's a very vast land in here, what if you kill all the people? Leave it to the beast? They all understand the truth. Whether it can be done well here depends on whether it can live in peace with the people here. It really can't be done, and the solution by force is the last resort.
When the people approached again, the sentry saw clearly, and sure enough, it was a group of wild men, who were driving cattle to carry things, and the old Indians who were in front of them were riding oxen (there were no horses on the North American continent at this time). This was followed by a squad of fighters. The chieftain riding the ox has feathers on his head and red and white patterns painted on his face. He was followed by warriors, also painted with various patterns.
When they came to the front of the camp, the kiln soldiers opened the gate and invited them into the camp. The group came to a wide place, and an Indian stretched out his hand to help the chief down the Oxback Mountain.
Wu Sangui and Lin Feng greeted him, and at this time, the captive who had let go last time said something to the chief, and the chief stretched out his hand to Lin Feng. Because it was Lin Feng who personally let go of the captive, they felt that Lin Feng was the biggest leader here.
Lin Feng also smiled and waved his hand, when the language is not understood, smile is the most common friendly language.
At this time, an Indian took out four automatic rifles from a leather package in Niubei Mountain.
The chief pointed to these rifles and said something, the kiln people didn't understand, but they knew that they were here to exchange the prisoners, Lin Feng beckoned, and let people take the prisoners out and hand them over.
However, Lin Feng didn't want to lose the opportunity to contact them like this, and gestured to the chief to follow him to a freshly built wooden hall.
The chief did not refuse, and very politely came to the hall with Lin Feng and Wu Sangui, this hall has just been built, and the interior has not yet been renovated, but the eyes of the chief and the Indians who came with him are not enough, this is a building they have never seen before.
The soldiers brought in beautiful tea sets and poured them tea, but the chief did not understand what it meant.
Lin Feng picked up the teacup and gestured to drink some tea, and the chief also learned to drink some tea. But the chief took a small sip, and without putting down his cup, he muttered something, and drank again.
Lin Feng understood that the chief liked this drink. The chief drank his tea, and the soldiers poured him a full one.
The chief was not only very interested in tea, but also interested in drinking teapots from teacups, and kept stroking and watching.
At this time, Wu Sangui and Lin Feng were very happy in their hearts, they knew that as long as they had something they liked, it would be easy to do.
Lin Feng made a look, and a staff officer took out a set of tea sets packed in cardboard boxes, and Lin Feng took it and handed it to the chief himself. The chief was taken aback and gestured to himself, does that mean for me?
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and motioned for him to open it and take a look!
But the chief worked for a long time and didn't know where to open it, so Lin Feng went over to help him and opened the package.
When the chief saw it, his eyes straightened, and a set of exquisite tea sets was inside, and the chief took out the shining tea sets one by one, and kept muttering something. After the tea sets were put on the table, the chief was still not at ease, and asked Lin Feng with a gesture, does that mean these are really for me?
Lin Feng nodded and signaled that it was for him.
The chief happily put the tea set into the cardboard box, but he couldn't put it back!
Lin Feng slowly helped the chief to put the tea set back one by one.
The chief immediately handed the tea set to one of his attendants. The attendant carefully held the cardboard box and did not dare to move.
After a while, the wine and food were also served, and the chief had never smelled such a good fragrance, and he couldn't stop inhaling it with his nose, and so did all the people who came with him.
However, there is one thing that Wu Sangui and Lin Feng really can't adapt to, as soon as the food comes up, they don't need to let it, the chief and his people will eat it with their hands. Wu Sangui and Lin Feng really couldn't eat it. Lin Feng asked people to open a few bottles of liquor and give them to them, and the chief sniffed it, not knowing what it was. Lin Feng picked up the wine glass and dried one, and the chief followed suit, but the chief was choked by the white wine and coughed. However, the chief clicked his lips and stretched out the cup to Lin Feng, who poured it for him again, and the chief kept drinking and lying on the table. Those who had come with the chief also drank down at the other tables.
There was no way, Wu Sangui had them carried to a tent and fell asleep.
Wu Sangui said to Lin Feng: "General Lin, this is a rare opportunity!" Strive to have a good relationship with them! ”
"Yes! I just can't speak, it's too hard! Lin Feng said.
"Needless to say, I'll send them something tomorrow when they're gone. Like that can or something, and matches give them some too. When we go back, their people know that dealing with us is good. Their soldiers are going to give something too! Wu Sangui said.
