"Retreat." The captain shouted. The flank fire of the Qin army was the first to withdraw from the battle. They set up defensive positions at the second line of defense.

"Sudden thud. Sudden protrusions. "The Qin army's air-cooled heavy machine guns kept strafing and firing.

"Withdraw. Hurry up. When the Heavy heard the order, he quickly removed his gun and withdrew from the battle. And the defeated Qi soldiers simply did not have time to re-raise their arms for a counterattack. They can only take care of their own retreat.

"We need to quickly retreat to the second line of defense." The captain picked up his rifle and began to retreat, occasionally turning back to direct the others.

The Qi army fled frantically, while the Qin army retreated in an orderly manner according to the plan. And just like that, the raid ended like this.

"In this battle, we probably wiped out about 300 people from the other side. There were no casualties on our side, and by the time the enemy was attacked, they had lost the ability to resist us. Captain Qin Jun wrote in a later report.

"The Qi army doesn't seem to know that we will suddenly attack. Their vigilance is very lax. Perhaps because they relied on the fact that they had more men and fewer of them, they one-sidedly believed that we could not and did not have the spare forces to attack, but in fact, they were wrong, they did not think that we would attack. In his summary report, the captain believed that the reason why they were able to succeed was that they were able to seize the critical moment when the Qi army relaxed its vigilance. At this time, the Qin army just seized the favorable fighter opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Qi army.

In fact, the casualties of the Qi army exceeded more than 400 people, and the number of wounded was even more. The total number of casualties exceeded 700. Before the war began, the Qi army suffered such losses, which hit the morale of the Qi army very hard.

"Ahh A surgeon of Qi Jun is actually a military doctor of Qi Jun, because often and wounds, especially those caused by bullets, are important problems that he has focused on solving in recent years. These bullet wounds are becoming more and more vicious, and when the medical technology is not very advanced, especially the medical equipment is not very advanced, the military doctors of the Qi army can only adopt the method of amputation to improve the soldiers' chances of survival.

The Qi military doctor was amputating a soldier's calf after a machine-gun bullet had been fired, and the medic used a saw blade to keep sawing the soldier's calf. The soldier shouted loudly.

And the military doctor was not surprised, and he didn't look at it, so he sawed off the calves of the Qi soldiers.

After some tossing, the Qi soldiers fainted from the pain, while the medic was sweating profusely and soaking wet, and his clothes were covered in blood. There is no way, the military doctors of the Qi army do not know that there is such a thing as disinfection, and the amputation operation can be regarded as being able to save the lives of these injured people. If they had been put in the past, their wounds would have been left to look at rotting and maggots crawling all over their wounds. It's better to die that way.

After taking the charcoal barbecue for disinfection, this is the disinfection method invented by the Qi army itself, alcohol is too luxurious for them, and the logistics will not have this kind of thing to be sent to the front line, because the soldiers of the Qi army often secretly drink all the medical alcohol, there is no way, the military doctor can only take this painful method to disinfect. This is also the trouble that the soldiers themselves find for themselves. Who let them drink up the medical alcohol they used.

After doing those. The medic waved his tired arms. Signal the next.

Two soldiers carried the wounded to the operating table.

"Oh, look at this guy, it's so unlucky." A soldier walked by and saw what was going on, and the soldier's internal organs were knocked out. The soldiers who rescued them reluctantly brought all the internal organs of the wounded soldiers to the operating table. The bullet cut a large hole in the soldier's stomach, and then the intestines flowed out. The soldier insisted on someone to save him, but the soldiers also felt a great headache, because they didn't know what to do, and finally had no choice but to put all the internal organs together carefully and cover them with a cloth and send them here.

With the large-scale use of gunpowder weapons, especially machine guns that followed artillery, such massive muzzle trauma was inevitable. In contrast, the medical treatment lags behind the killing speed of weapons, and the high bullet velocity brought by gunpowder weapons, especially after the use of smokeless gunpowder in machine guns. This is becoming more and more common. Many people did not die on the battlefield, many more died in the process of treatment. It can be said that without a complete medical system, such casualties will inevitably occur.

The cost of Qi casualties was high, but the Qi army quickly learned to be more vigilant, as their opponents did not care about the number of troops. And it doesn't matter how they have these forces, this is one of the ways that their opponents teach them.

Just when the Qin army succeeded in the attack and the Qi army strengthened its guard. There is a new dynamic in the water pirates of the Chu State in the south.

"Chief, are we really going to take refuge in those water dogs?" One of the water pirate leaders asked loudly.

"yes, we're just going to take refuge with those water dogs, what's wrong?" A pretty woman of the Chu State carried two Qin State revolvers pinned to her waist, wore a black tight pants suit on her lower body, and wore long leather boots on her feet. On his body is a military coat of the Qin State. It seems that this Chu woman is very fashionable.

"Those water dogs are not all the way to us." The leader shouted.

"It's not a person all the way, as long as you can take revenge. Those Qin dogs, hang my fiancé alive on the bow of the boat, can I not take revenge for this kind of revenge? As long as there is revenge, what can the water dogs do? The Chu Guoqiao woman said viciously with her eyes. Her bright eyes used to be seductive, as if they could speak, but now, her eyes were full of rage, and she wished that they could shoot tongues of fire.

"Yes, we want to avenge the big boss, yes. Avenge. Some chimed in.

"Okay, then." That's all the boss can say.

Subsequently, this small-scale water thief began to contact Xiang Yan's water army to discuss the next water thief adaptation.

Qin's attitude towards the near-extinction of water pirates forced the survival of water pirates in Chu to face great challenges. The Qin armed merchant ships adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards piracy, which seriously hindered the development of Qin's commercial activities.

However, the Qin government ignored one point, that is, there are historical reasons for the emergence of water piracy, and in a country where the gap between the rich and the poor is widening under the great social changes, and there are many uneasy factors, this kind of water piracy is very easy to breed the development of this kind of thing.

In particular, when the situation of reckless increase in fiscal revenue in order to accumulate money on a large scale and at the same time increase national revenue, this kind of malaise will appear frequently.

However, the Qin government, especially the armed merchant ships of the Qin State, blindly adopted a high-pressure posture and adopted an absolutely zero-tolerance attitude towards water piracy, and many people did not have a correct understanding of the causes of water piracy and the solution to it, and the measures taken were extremely simple, simple and rude. This slowly intensified the contradictions, and forced the water thieves to the other side.

The living environment of the water pirates is becoming more and more difficult to survive, because the armed merchant ships of the Qin State have formed a huge high-pressure situation, and this high-pressure situation has made the water pirates who are at a disadvantage and the water army of the Chu State, which is also facing the huge threat of the armed merchant ships of the Qin State, begin to unite.

"As long as you join the Chu State Water Army, you are part of the Chu State Water Army, and our attitude is to welcome you, which you can rest assured, but I want to say that you also know very well who the biggest enemy we are facing at the moment." Xiang Yan actually met with the big leader of the water pirates, the pretty woman. However, Xiang Yan is concerned about the impact of this water thief on the Chu State Navy after its adaptation.

"We naturally understand this, the big iron ships of the Qin State are rampant, none of us can stop them, those machine guns are not something that our people can resist, we can't stop it with our bodies, and once they are captured alive, they will be hanged alive. We've died a lot. The woman said.

"The same is true of our Chu State Naval Army, our ships can't intercept those Qin State armed merchant ships, and even if we have already intercepted the other party, but the other party's big iron ship doesn't care about our life or death at all, and directly sinks our ships, and after causing our casualties, they don't even care." Xiang Yan said.

This kind of thing has happened many times, and in the places where Qin and Chu meet, the local navy of Chu doesn't care at all, and those places don't even have to pay taxes. Because the armed merchant ships of the Qin State directly threatened those Chu naval forces with their equipped machine guns. Even the naval aviation of the Qin Navy joined in the fun, and the planes with pontoons hung bombs directly on the water next to the ships, and the water columns that exploded directly threatened the small wooden boats of the Chu State Navy. In the face of this threat, the local naval army of Chu directly gave way and no longer cared about it.

And Xiang Yan walked all the way up and ran into the armed merchant ships of the Qin State, but the other party did not stop at all, and passed directly through the fleet of the Chu State Naval Army, and the Chu State Navy tried to intercept it, but it did not work at all. It also sank several Chu naval forces.

But the combat strength is too weak. The two sides are not at the same level of weapons at all, and the gap between the two sides is simply too great. There is simply no way to fight between the two. Xiang Yan knew very well that she had no choice but to give up.

But for this situation to happen frequently, he still hopes to change, so he adopts the adaptation of the water pirates to strengthen his own power. Combining the two forces together and jointly dealing with the armed merchant ships of the Qin State became his only choice.

In this way, the adaptation became the basis of the cooperative relationship between the two sides, after all, the Chu State Navy is a legitimate law enforcement agency, while the water thieves do not have this right, and this kind of temptation is absolutely not inherent in the water thieves.
