Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ground Combat
Under the command of Jiang Lin, the machine gunners of the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment quickly divided into two groups, and together with the assaulters, they formed three teams, which were distributed in a fan shape, forming a concentrated fire on the Ludio Pirate Regiment.
More than 200 dragon members opened fire at the same time, and the resulting firepower network caused a lot of oppression on the Ludio pirate group.
"Whoosh! …… Sou! Whoosh! ”
Under the rain of bullets, a member of the Ludio Pirate Regiment fell, some of whom were shot, and struggled to roll down the hillside of the island.
"Commander, the casualties of the brothers are too great! We can't stand it, their fire is so fierce! ”
After several successive fires, the two sides suffered losses to each other, but the Ludio pirate group was still overstretched in the face of the fire attack of more than 200 Jiaolong because of the lack of firepower, and in the end more than 20 people were killed, and more than 20 people were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
There are only about 100 people in the Ludio pirate group, and in the first impact of the dragon, more than half of the casualties were killed, on the other hand, the dragon only killed a dozen members, in addition, another dozen or so members were injured, although the number of personnel has been reduced, but at this time there are more than 180 people left in the dragon, and the Ludio pirate group still maintains an absolute advantage.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to the factory! We must guard our possessions! ”
Today's sudden attack by Jiaolong left the Ludio pirate group with no time to prepare, and rushed to respond to the battle, with little effect, and the remaining fifty or so members of the Ludio pirate group quickly retreated towards their base camp after receiving Ludio's order.
Having worked hard here for several years, Ludio was reluctant to give up the property he had hoarded in his base camp no matter what, even if he died.
"Commander, they withdrew."
As the Ludio pirates retreated, the gunfire stopped, and the battlefield showed a brief silence, and the dragon members were prostrate on the ground, smelling the pungent smoke of gunpowder, and staring vigilantly ahead to prevent the Ludio pirates from suddenly returning to the carbines.
"All of you go out, occupy the commanding heights first!"
The other party only has about a hundred people, and it has lost nearly half of it here, that is to say, there are only about fifty people left in the Ludio pirate group now, so Jiang Lin knows that as long as the Jiaolong pirate group does not make fatal mistakes, then the Ludio pirate group has no chance to turn around.
The commanding heights, in the war, belong to the battleground, especially for the weak side, with the commanding heights, if the terrain is used well, it can still cause huge losses to the enemy, obviously the supreme commander of the Ludio Pirate Regiment did not recognize this, and after being in an absolute weakness, he even chose to give up the commanding heights, which is tantamount to giving the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment an excellent opportunity.
To put it bluntly, the Ludio Pirate Regiment is still transferred from the sea to the land, on the sea, they may be war experts, a pack of wolves, but they have no theoretical research and experience for land wars, Jiaolong Pirate Regiment is just the opposite, Jiang Lin was a special soldier of the Chinese Army before, and the experience of small-scale local wars in land wars can be described as textbook-level existence, and leading Jiaolong members to conduct ground warfare is simply proficient, especially when the number and firepower occupy an absolute advantage.
Leaving the wounded in place, more than 180 Jiaolong members quickly pounced on the highest point 800 meters away, because all the members of the Ludio Pirate Regiment had retreated, so on the way to the mountain, they had no resistance, and in just five minutes, the Jiaolong members appeared at the highest point of the island.
At this time, Jiang Lin finally knew how the black smoke he saw on the sea just now was produced.
On the other side of the island, the terrain was relatively flat, and at the foot of the mountain where the members of the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment were now located, several chimneys stood tall, and smoke was rising out.
It looks like it's a small factory, but at the foot of the mountain, there are traces of new mining, indicating that this factory is supposed to be refining minerals.
On the left and right sides of the factory and mine, there are two residential areas surrounded by high walls, and a few black men are cautiously poking their heads out of the low grass huts to observe the outside world, if Jiang Lin is not mistaken, this is probably where the indigenous people of the Emirate of Mausbahan live.
"Damn it!" scolded fiercely, where did Jiang Lin not see at this time that this Ludio pirate group enslaved the indigenous inhabitants of the Mausbahan Emirate as free labor?
What was it that made the Ludio pirates abandon the sea and return to land? And what is it that has allowed the Ludio pirates to take root on an island in the Indian Ocean?
These questions bothered Jiang Lin, and also made Jiang Lin want to find out what this Ludio pirate group was doing here.
"Captain, we've lost track of the members of the Ludio Pirates."
Hand the telescope to Jiang Lin, and the Jiaolong members report to Jiang Lin.
After taking the telescope, after some careful searching, Jiang Lin did not find any trace of the Ludio pirate group.
"They should be in there."
Pointing to the location of the factory, Jiang Lin said in an affirmative tone.
Because this small island is only so big, it is impossible for more than fifty people to disappear out of thin air, so they must still be on this island now, but their location is too secret to be discovered.
So far, Jiang Lin has only found two rows of walled houses and a small factory on the island, so Jiang Lin can be sure that the people of the Ludio Pirate Regiment must be in this factory.
Randomly, Jiang Lin commanded the Jiaolong members to divide into two groups, each group of nearly ninety people, one of which surrounded the factory below, and the other group was responsible for guarding the shacks on both sides of the factory.
"The action requires that when you see the enemy, you can kill them immediately, but you are absolutely not allowed to harm the other inhabitants of this island, otherwise you will be severely punished! Let's go! ”
At the sound of an order, more than 180 Jiaolong members rushed down the high ground, according to the previous predetermined plan, divided into three groups, and among the 90 members responsible for surrounding the factory, nearly 50 of them were machine gunners, to ensure that if the members of the Ludio Pirate Regiment were in this factory, the Jiaolong members could ensure that the first time the fire was suppressed.
"Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded by us, please disarm and surrender immediately, otherwise we will resort to force and bear the consequences!"
Now, the situation in the factory area is unclear, if the Jiaolong members rush in, it is likely to cause unnecessary casualties, so in the face of this situation, Jiang Lin responded calmly, first shouting at the members of the Ludio Pirate Regiment who may be stationed in the factory area, causing psychological pressure on them and forcing them to give up resistance.
However, Jiang Lin clearly underestimated their determination to defend the factory......
