Chapter 295: Combat
On the ship, Fu and Lin had basically arranged the battle plan, and in order to cooperate well with the troops left behind, he rearranged the battle plan again, after all, it was still necessary for him to do this as the person in charge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In any case, now that the battle plan has been arranged, the landing will be followed by a rest at the station, and the battle will begin at noon tomorrow, and the troops must avoid the possibility of fighting at night.
Although Australian soldiers do not have night blindness, it is not excluded that a small number of them have this symptom, and the aborigines have a great advantage in the terrain here, after all, they have lived here for so long, it is impossible not to have a sense of familiarity with the environment here.
Moreover, several large indigenous tribes on the island already have a certain civilization, which is very far from the Australian mainland, and they know how to start bartering things, and they also know how to sell their own products to Australians.
In fact, it is not that the Australians want to exterminate them, but that they themselves have killed themselves, and they have attacked the base several times, causing casualties among immigrants and destruction of plants, which can be contrary to Australia's promised policy.
Let immigrants come to Australia just to eat a full meal, if it is rumored that their lives here are not guaranteed, why should they still come here, it is definitely better to stay in Daming.
Although there is life safety in Damingzhi, it is better than dying in a foreign land.
So both the Australian government and the Luzon overseas government have a responsibility to ensure the safety of these new immigrants, and since these natives threaten their security, they must be eliminated.
For those tribes that are not friendly to threat, Australia's consistent practice is to naturalize, influence these people, and finally let them become Australians as Australian citizens.
Once these friendly natives are naturalized, they can not only get the right to education, but also enjoy the same treatment as the people, such a good thing is a very gratifying thing anyway, after all, the national concept of the country at this time is not so strong, do you think they have any country or something, this special indigenous has not developed to that extent.
So you can't go to war or anything at all, even if you want to get to it, you can't pull it.
Early the next morning, the units had already begun their own assembly and supply work, and by noon they had basically all been replenished, and in addition to the ammunition needed for the battle, there were also food and other important things.
Fu Helin had fought with the natives before, so he still had some experience in this area.
Most of the natives on this island are not so easy to communicate with, they will become very docile when they need to exchange items, and they will suddenly become murderous when they are not needed, and there will even be cannibalism, which is a very frightening thing.
Cannibal tribes have only been heard of in New Guinea before, but there is no such recorded history here, and this new discovery can be regarded as refreshing Australia's understanding of Luzon.
So at night, the cannibal tribe may come out to sneak attack, Fu Helin has encountered such a thing in the past, but he has successfully resisted it, after all, for him, he is a commander with rich combat experience.
In this operation, he made a special confession that he could not start a war at night, because the danger of starting a war at night was very great, and no one could guarantee safety.
The head of the unit left behind also said that they could not fight at night, and that night was the advantage of the natives, perhaps because they ate meat, and the natives here did not have night blindness.
However, it is very rare for them to succeed in a sneak attack, after all, Australia's defense is still strong.
At night, several large piles of firewood are burned around the camp, and kerosene lamps are placed in some key locations, making it difficult for the natives to enter the camp and sneak attack.
If the Australians themselves play at night, won't they send them to the door to let the family fight.
After some preparations, Fu Helin led the main force in the established direction, less than twenty miles away from the Luzon base, and this tribe numbered about 1,500 people.
What he has to do is to destroy this tribe first, and he has a battle map in his hand, and it can be seen that this map marks the indigenous tribes to be eliminated in this battle.
As you can see from the drawings, this first tribe is at the forefront.
Use artillery to bombard the enemy first and try to scare them as much as possible.
Fu and Lin instructed his officers that this method of warfare had been developed by him after many experiments before, and these natives had a natural fear of artillery, in any case, they were very afraid of artillery, and they would fall into a brief confusion when they heard it, or they would kneel there and pray to their gods.
Although this method of warfare is a bit costly, it can ensure the maximum reduction of casualties.
As long as the casualties can be reduced and there is nothing to use a little more shells, I believe that the Ministry of Defense will not have any opinions.
Of course, it is necessary to save a little when you can reduce consumption, after all, this is all money.
Now there is no strict management because most of them are new recruits, and recruits will inevitably use more ammunition.
With the sound of several shells exploding, the battle for the Clearing of Luzon also meant that it had officially begun.
After a few rounds of artillery bombardment, Fu Helin let the troops start to advance, for these natives must not be treated as old people and children, they may turn into a warrior at any time and give you a fatal blow, this kind of thing has happened before, so Fu Helin attaches great importance to this issue.
After the artillery bombardment, the indigenous tribe was in chaos, and the smell of gunpowder wafted through the air, and the soldiers stepped over the red-stained land into the indigenous tribe.
Their task was to annihilate all the enemies who resisted, and to keep the captives in a unified manner, these prisoners were good laborers for building infrastructure, and the new construction of the Luzon base happened to require a lot of labor, so at this time it was actually necessary to ensure a large number of prisoners.
Several soldiers with guns rushed into a thatched house, and some pushed them into the so-called houses, pulling out all the women and children who were hiding inside, and gathered them together.
Although this scene looks a bit familiar, Fu Helin will definitely not be stupid at this time to ask the soldiers to be polite, as long as the soldiers do not do the prescribed things, these are allowed, after all, there may be a sneak attack of the indigenous soldier in the house.
At least the Australian army soldiers are still very disciplined, and they will not do anything like a devil entering the village, and there will be absolutely no abuse of those who surrender.
After all, Australia is a civilized country, and this kind of thing will never be done. (To be continued.) )
