Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wu Sangui Vigilantly Prepared for War The Indians struck with all their might

Wu Sangui and Lin Feng suddenly found that the situation was still a little bad, because the brigade of men and horses were scattered on the road construction sites along the coastline, the battle line was very long, and the cavalry that came out of the farthest had already reached a far estuary area (Prince Rupert), which was deep and dense, and the vicinity of the estuary was very suitable for cultivation and cultivation. The cavalry in front was ready to leave a part of the men there to cultivate the land, and the brigade was to continue its march south.

However, Wu Sangui sent them a telegram informing them not to continue southward for the time being. We have to do a good job of fighting a big battle with the Indians. At the same time, the officers and soldiers along the entire road construction route were also informed that during the daytime construction, they should prepare weapons, send more sentries, and be ready to fight at any time if there is a situation. The minimum size of the night camp should be at the company level, and it is best to ensure the scale above the battalion level. At the same time, the vigilance at night should be strengthened, and a counterattack should be organized in case of a situation, and at the same time it should be reported as soon as possible for reinforcements.

Wu Sangui: Their weakness was discovered by the Indians. They can see that the reason why Wu Sangui and their desperate efforts to build roads is that they are very dependent on roads. In order to build the road, their personnel are very dispersed.

The Indians brought together a large number of people, and when the chiefs met, they disagreed about the way to fight. Some chiefs believed that it was possible to take advantage of the dispersion of the enemy and eliminate the isolated enemy, so that the small amount could add up to destroy more enemies, or make the enemy fearful, and the enemy would retreat. Other chiefs disagreed, believing that the enemy had come in too many of them, and that it was necessary to concentrate on killing them in large numbers at once and to defeat them once and for all, so that they could have the effect of driving the enemy out.

In the end, no agreement was reached, and they decided that when the weather was warm, most of them would go together to attack the enemy and build camp at the landing site. Some tribesmen waited for an opportunity to destroy the enemies who were scattered to build roads.

The battle really started from the construction site where the road was being built.

In a section of the road through the deep forest, a company of officers and soldiers was working here far away from the big camp. During the day, they found that there were many Indians wearing camouflages in the woods on both sides of the construction site, and the company commander who had received the report told the soldiers that some of them were on guard with guns, and some of them continued to work. The work of building the road was almost heavy, and the officers and soldiers became very popular with the Indians who peeked at them in the woods. The soldiers on guard, once again seeing the Indians peeking out in the distance, shot at them in warning.

This incident made the company commander very angry, they were alone in a company, and they should not cause trouble, but the incident had already happened, so they had to be extra careful when camping at night. He set aside a platoon of soldiers to lie down with guns and clothes to make first-class preparations, and at the same time, around the camp, a lot of ** was arranged as a guard.

really let the company commander prepare, and when he was close to the night at night, there was a "boom" on the north side of the camp, and suddenly a ** exploded. The platoon that level was ready immediately rushed out and occupied the prepared position. The others were also undressed and rushed out with guns and occupied their respective positions.

The officers and men of this company did not know that there were nearly 10,000 Indians who were eyeing them, and the scouts they sent had been scouting them for several days. This angered the Indians who had come from afar, and the chief took the opportunity to order action to be taken tonight to avenge the wounded.

These Indians had never dealt with Wu Sangui and them, but they had heard that their enemies had very powerful weapons in their hands, and the people who were injured today could be regarded as having learned this. However, they knew that the enemy in front of them was not numerous, and that they were far more numerous than their opponents. Besides, the warriors they came were all good hunters who could chase bison in the wasteland, and they were all brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death, and they had long wanted to cut off the heads of their enemies to establish their exploits. They are even more eager to capture the enemy's seemingly incredible things after a great victory. Those are no different from babies to them.

Encirclement and sneak attacks were a common tactic of the Indians.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, these Indians, whose faces and bodies were painted with color, silently surrounded the company's camp from all sides. Because the workload during the day was so great, the officers and men slept very hard when they lay down, and they did not know that the Indians were surrounded by black pressure, and the soldiers standing guard did not see that the Indians were approaching silently.

However, these ghostly Indians still touched a thunder string hanging on the mine, and with a "boom", the thunder blew up the Indian who touched it and the two people around him. One was killed on the spot, and fell to the ground and did not move, but the wounds on the two Indians were far less hurtful than fear, and the two Indians howled like hell and permeated the woods.

The Indian chief did not expect such a thing, but he was frightened for a while, and he knew that he had to attack now, and ordered the horn to be blown.

"Woo!" The sound of the bull's horn inspired the Indian warriors to rush towards the camp.

Although these Indians kept stepping on the ** and caused a lot of losses, they rushed forward without hesitation.

But they soon received a string of blazing bullets. One by one, the Indians with spears fell.

When the commander of this company came out, he judged it, and knew that the enemy was coming from all sides, and immediately ordered to fire flares in all directions.

"Knock knock" a few flares into the air, and soon the dazzling light of the flares illuminated the camp as if it were day, and the Indians were clearly exposed to the light, and the gunfire of the kiln soldiers was more accurate. Rows of Indians fell around the camp, but the Indians were not afraid of death and rushed up. Gradually, the corpses were piled up. However, the Indian chieftain soon discovered that the devilish flares of the kiln men were about to be extinguished in a short time, and they were used for a short time. There needs to be new ones to keep going. The Indians began to learn wisely, and as soon as the flares were lit they lay down, and as soon as the flares were extinguished, they got up and rushed forward.

The camp had to constantly shoot flares into the air.

But the company commander knew that it would not work like this, and there were not so many flares to go on like this. The company commander had the petrol drums brought in and wrapped a wooden stick around a quilt dipped in gasoline and thrown outside the camp, so that the torch would burn for a long time. Soon many torches were lit around the camp.

In the light of the fire, the Indians, no matter how agile they were, also became targets for rifle machine guns. In the end, the brave Indians dropped more than two thousand corpses, and with a roar, retreated.

Li Wei They received a telegram in the middle of the night, and the Indians had moved. From then on, many camps along the road were attacked by the Indians. However, they really know too little about the Yaogang people, and they can't break through a company's camp by relying on the sea of people, and those larger camps can't be shaken by them. In the face of automatic firearms, no amount of them is useless.

However, the defeat on the road construction site did not affect the Indians' preparations for an attack on Wu Sangui and their camp.

Wu Sangui's cavalry scouts and delta-wing aircraft reconnoitred from the air, and found that hundreds of thousands of Indians had been assembled.

Wu Sangui said to Lin Feng: "I'm not afraid of these Indians, I'm afraid that my soldiers will be soft when the time comes." ”

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Hehe! General Wu, rest assured! The officers we have trained in the kiln have already learned what to do in such a situation. This kind of thing has happened to our army many times. Our kiln training courses also have solutions for what to do! ”

"Oops! Is it! Wu Sangui said, "Our training courses also have some of these contents. I have time to really take a good look at their training materials! Wu Sangui, who has always been very confident, didn't expect the training course of the Yaogang Military Academy to be so detailed. In the past, he really didn't take training at the military academy too seriously.

Wu Sangui and Lin Feng cooperated very well, and they all had a consensus, if they wanted to fight, they would use the built camp to kill and injure a large number of Indians, and then send cavalry to chase the Indians far away, so as not to let them pose a threat in a short time. At present, the most urgent task at the moment is to build roads along the coastline, to march south as far as possible, to find suitable places to open up wasteland, and to solve the problem of food self-sufficiency as soon as possible, and the rest will be easy to do.

The camp that Wu Sangui built on the upper pier was already like a city, surrounded by cut wood. However, they thought of the problem of killing and injuring them in large numbers if the Indians raided, except for the pier by the sea, there were two layers of fences on the north, south, and east sides. There is a large distance between the two layers of fences. This was a trap set for the Indians.

On this day, Wu Sangui and his reconnoiter learned that the Indians had begun to march in the direction of their camp. Wu Sangui issued an order to all the officers and men, whether outside the camp or inside the camp, to prepare for the battle, and to fight for this battle, so that the Indians no longer dare to provoke us.

The gate of Wu Sangui's camp was closed, except for the normal loading and unloading of goods on the ships on the dock, all the personnel were preparing for battle.

This time, the Indians relied on hundreds of thousands of people, and they surrounded them outside Wu Sangui's camp, and at the same time set up camp around Wu Sangui's camp.

Wu Sangui and Lin Feng took their staff officers and looked at the Indian camp with binoculars from a tower.

Lin Feng said: "We are a little ashamed to fight with the Indians. They know too little about us. If we don't want to kill them here, cover them with artillery fire once, and they'll be able to stand it. At such a close distance, our cavalry swept them away with a single charge. ”

"Huh! I'm so embarrassed to go back and talk about it after this battle! It's similar to hunting, what do you say? Wu Sangui also felt the same way.

Originally thought that the Indians would definitely use the night to charge them, Wu Sangui and they had been on guard, but there was nothing wrong all night, and the Indians did not attack. After daybreak, the Indians lined up and began to attack from three directions. They blew a kind of "whine" horn, and the formation slowly approached Wu Sangui's camp. Wu Sangui looked at it with a telescope and said, "The Indians in all directions dress differently and use different weapons. ”

"They're from different tribes, right?" Lin Feng also looked at it and said.

When the Indians approached the first fence, they fired many bows and arrows at the defenders behind the fence. The kiln soldiers also shot at the Indians with their rifles, hitting a lot of the Indians who rushed ahead, but the Indians behind rushed up with shouts.

When the soldiers of Yaogang saw so many Indian warriors rushing up, they "fled" in embarrassment and ran directly back behind the fence of the second camp.

The Indians bravely rushed to the first fence and quickly took the first fence. In order to get the Indian warriors behind to cross the first fence, they used ropes to pull the first fence down. But the first fence was built so firmly that many Indians were busy for half a day without pulling it down. The chiefs had a few pieces of wood cut down to allow the Indians behind them to enter the fence. Soon. Multiple passages into the people, cut open. A large number of Indians entered the first fence. They found that the distance between the first and second fences was wide and flat. How did they know that it was pushed out by a tractor. After the first camp gate was opened, more and more Indians entered the first fence.

Then the Indians began to attack the second fence with the sound of a "whining" horn.

Looking at the Indians who came over like a tide, Wu Sangui sighed and said, "Alas! If you can't do it, you can't do it! ”
