Those who have not personally been to the defense line of the land bridge and the western continental connection line will never be able to appreciate the cruelty of the front line, where the lead of the magic weapon is offset by the enemy's terrifying numerical superiority, and all that remains is the original face of war - cruelty.

And the newly established Far Island Theater, the imperial army fighting here does not have the most sophisticated equipment of the imperial army in their hands, and there is no constant support from the air force, but the number of enemies they face is seven or eight times that of their own!

The battle here is even more tragic than on the line of defense.

Later generations of military historians once described the Battle of Toshima as follows:

The imperial army was on the battlefield of the far island, with an army of 100,000.

There were 190,000 Allied troops, of which 120,000 were prisoners of war rescued by the imperial army in battle.

There were also 160,000 servants.

However, the equipment of these armies is the old equipment that the imperial army replaced 30 years ago, and there is no support from the air force.

On the other hand, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has a total of 1.17 million troops landing on the Far Island, and in the strategy of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the biggest task of these armies is to manage the Far Island into an island of death full of underground fortifications, so as to facilitate the division of the empire and the Holy Dynasty, and facilitate their offensive against the northern continent.

If the numbers of these armies are not yet intuitive, they can be compared in terms of equipment:

When the Eastern Expeditionary Army completed the landing, the ratio of artillery to the imperial army was 7:1, the ratio of the air force was 9:1, and the ratio of large-caliber heavy artillery to the imperial army was 6:1.

The bigger problem is that in addition to the 100,000 imperial troops on the imperial army's side, whether it is the black servant army or the Holy Dynasty army, the performance in the early stage of the battle can be described as weak.

Often, a thousand Crusade troops can easily destroy 10,000 Pilgrimage troops, and only the black servant army can easily destroy 10,000 with only 400 people.

The 100,000 imperial army with such 350,000 friendly troops launched a four-month arduous battle on the distant island.

……

August 28, 664 in the imperial calendar. Yin.

Today is the eighth day of arriving at Far Island.

It was also the fourth day of the Crusade Army's offensive against our army.

Or a continuous bombardment, followed by an attack of infantry like a tidal wave.

Although we have been forced to retreat, but fortunately this is not a position that we really need to hold, our position is in the Ceylon Hills, the blacks have been digging day and night these days, and it is estimated that by the time we retreat, the whole Ceylon Mountains should become a line of defense that will never fall.

I firmly believe that where we are stationed, there is the strongest position.

Night, August 30th.

Today is the sixth day, and we have retreated more than 60 kilometers in six days, averaging 10 kilometers per day.

Before, I always thought that we were retreating passively, but now I suddenly feel that we are actually retreating by beating!

I don't know what the casualties of other troops were, but our company, in these six days, lost a total of 43 people!

My deputy platoon commander died at the end of today's battle, this is the 11th person my platoon has died since entering the far island, Lao Xiao usually has a good relationship with me, but after his death, I can't grieve - maybe it's because I'm numb.

I don't know what kind of casualties there will be in the future, but if this continues, I think sooner or later I will go crazy.

September 3.

Yesterday I received an order that we need to hold out for three days before we can withdraw into Mount Ceylon.

That is to say, we had to carry our positions outside the mountains for fourteen days before we could retreat into the mountains, and now we were only 15 kilometers away from the mountains of Ceylon.

We can't go back anymore!

The entire infantry regiment and two composite battalions, more than 3,500 troops, I don't know how many people are still there, but our company now has 53 people left, and the last armored car was also blown up by the enemy in today's battle, and now the only thing to count on is four machine guns and the necessary bazooka.

For three days, I don't know if I can carry it, and if not, I don't know who will be able to pick up this diary - if you do, please continue to write the diary like I did.

The owner of this diary, his name is Du Bin, one of my seniors, but unfortunately he died in Bayesk two years ago. I found this diary while sorting through his belongings, and when I looked at the war he recorded, I decided to write it down like him, hoping that one day future generations would learn about the war we had experienced from the diary!

By the way, my name is Sun Jie, the platoon commander of the 200th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the Black Flag Army.

September 6th, night.

Fourteen days of hard fighting finally came to an end.

It's just that the second owner of this diary did not hold out to the end, just three hours ago, half an hour before the retreat, Lieutenant Sun Jie, the platoon commander of the 3rd Battalion and the 2nd platoon, was killed.

I found this diary in his pocket, and as Lieutenant Sun Jie wished, I would continue to write this diary in his legacy.

After 14 days of blocking and fighting, the infantry regiment and our 1st and 3rd battalions, a total of 3,643 imperial soldiers, were left with only 848 men when they withdrew to Mount Ceylon today.

The commander of the infantry regiment was killed, and the commander of the 1st Synthetic Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Shi Kai, was seriously injured and endangered, and the last person to walk back with us was Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Zhichun, the commander of the 3rd Battalion.

However, we have created a miracle in the history of warfare!

With a meager force of more than 3,000 people, under the premise of losing air supremacy and no heavy equipment, in the face of the attack of at least 30,000 enemies, the front with a span of 76 kilometers held on for 14 days!

Heroic souls who died in this fourteen-day battle, you are good!

I'm proud of you!

September 10th, night.

I thought we could fix it for a while, but I didn't expect it to be just three days.

Yesterday, the brigade headquarters replenished our troops, and my company was also replenished - now the 1st battalion and 3rd company are 184 people at full strength, but among these 184 people, there are 138 blacks!

A group of black people who have been training for less than 3 months combined!

I calculated the amount of time an imperial soldier needed to be trained - at least two periods of military training before enlistment, 6 months, and 8 months of recruit training after enlistment, which adds up to 14 months, and when we were in school, there were at least two hours of military training per week, and the cumulative training time was more than a year and a half!

But what about these black people? The cumulative training time is less than 3 months!

And after 12 o'clock tonight, I need to take these blacks to seize the 274th position, which was occupied by the Crusade Army during the day.

All you can say is, good luck to me.

Morning, September 12th.

I remember when I was training in the brigade headquarters, the instructor said that we must not have fools who use human lives to pile up victories, and the lives of imperial soldiers are the most precious in the world, even if it is one for ten, it is a loss-making transaction.

And I, on the other hand, became an idiot in the mouth of the instructor!

In the raid in the early hours of yesterday morning, I was the one who traded the lives of my subordinates for victory.

At the cost of 59 men, 274 were recaptured, and in the offensive battle of the enemy's retaliation, my company lost another 43 people.

Of the 184-man company, only 82 people remain, including 7 seriously wounded.

As much as I wanted to curse the fighting power of the blacks, when I watched them fall on the battlefield one after another because of my orders, I realized why should I curse them?

It was our fault to bring them to the battlefield with insufficient training time!

Why should I curse them?

The shelling is coming again, and the Crusade Army will soon launch today's offensive, hoping that we can hold out until tomorrow to change the defense!
