In the somewhat humble house of the Wahu Tropical Plantation, Lin Youde was happy to see Bai Nan, to his surprise, Lin Youde had not seen Bai Nan in a military uniform for a while, and sometimes he almost forgot that Bai Nan had a military position. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lieutenant Colonel Bai, don't come unharmed." Lin Youde greeted.

"It's not bad, but I said Lao Lin, you have been running for the country for more than a year, why haven't I seen you lose any weight at all." Bai Nan joked.

Lin Youde pinched the fat on his waist and said: "No way, physical problems, my old Lin has to grow meat when he drinks cold boiled water, although these days are bumpy on the sea, but he should eat, sleep, and sleep, he has worked hard, his weight has not changed, and I don't plan to lose weight, it is better to be rich." ”

Chang Bin smiled: "Lao Lin, you are really broad-hearted and fat." Look at our Bai Nan, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, just got married, and now they have been promoted, you just called the lieutenant colonel that is the old yellow calendar, and now Bai Nan is a colonel. ”

Lin Youde waved his circle and said, "Congratulations, I didn't catch up with your wedding, I must make up a gift when I go back, and I have to invite you two to eat." ”

Chang Bin said for Bai Nan and said, "Wait slowly, it is estimated that it won't be long before you can catch up with the full moon wine of Colonel Bai Nanbai's son." ”

Lin Youde smiled even brighter: "It's even more gratifying to be congratulated so fast!" ”

Then Lin Youde asked again: "Anyway, why did you two come to Hawaii again, and you brought so many soldiers this time, could it be that the Wahu tribe has a conflict with us." Come and suppress it? ”

Bai Nan shook his head and said, "The Wahu tribe has a relatively stable relationship with us. ”

Chang Bin saw the stitches and said, "That's it, you don't look at it." Our Colonel Bai is the concubine of Chief Wahu, this is a relationship between relatives and relatives. ”

Bai Nan glared at Chang Bin and said, "Your kid has been getting more and more slippery recently, and his mouth is so poor that he doesn't want it." ”

Then he said to Lin Youde: "It is here, the last time we came to Oahu, Chief Kaio made a suggestion to us that we should 'assist' him in pacifying the entire Hawaiian Islands. Establish a kingdom of Hawaii in exchange for Kaio opening up the land to allow us Tang people to trade, colonize, and live here. The Cabinet also consulted some historical sources. If we do not aid the Oahu tribe, it will not be long before the rising Kamehameha I will sweep across the Hawaiian Islands with his army, and our initial efforts in Ohu will be in vain. In light of this. The Cabinet of Ministers makes a decision. Supporting the unification of the Hawaiian Islands by the Wahu tribe, the military also sent some men to fight. ”

Chang Bin said: "Colonel Bai is the commander of this military operation." ”

In fact, this is also the first time that Bai Nan independently led an overseas military operation, and when the Migratory Bird Project was planned, he was only leading a merchant fleet with a certain number of armed personnel, and this time he really commanded this campaign as a soldier. In addition to a fleet of cruisers and a frigate, as well as other auxiliary vessels, the Army also sent two infantry battalions to work together.

The two infantry battalions were from the newly formed Long Xiang Regiment and the Tiger Regiment, respectively. The total strength of the army is more than eight hundred, close to a thousand. Fighting against a native Hawaiian who doesn't even have iron weapons with such a force is a bit of a knife to kill. However, the Ministry of Defense also has its own considerations, and the newly formed several army regiment-level units, after all, are still a little young, although there are some KMT veterans among them, but their original quality is not very good, and they have laid down their weapons and training for a long time, and there is not much difference between them and new recruits. There is also a certain proportion of Indians in these troops, most of whom are just able to communicate in simple Chinese, and their combat effectiveness is a huge question mark. Therefore, through this opportunity, the Ministry of Defense wants to train the troops, inspect the combat effectiveness of the troops from actual combat, and find and solve problems before the official implementation of the Cuckoo Plan.

If it weren't for the fact that the lightning fast horse manufactured by the FAW Group had not yet arrived, and the consumption of mechanized infantry in battle was greater, the Ministry of Defense might have sent mechanized infantry over in the same mentality.

Although there is no heavy army, but the firepower of the two infantry battalions is also considerable, according to the normal Datang infantry battalion establishment, each infantry battalion has its own machine gun company, and there is also a fire platoon in the infantry company, although there is no strong support from the regiment's 105 mm S1775 artillery, but 81 mm and 60 mm mortars, plus 120 rocket launchers and heavy machine guns, are enough to deal with almost all enemies in this era.

Bai Nan even felt that it was a bit of a luxury to use mortars and bazookas against Native Hawaiians, so he specially applied for a batch of grenadiers from the armory. The soldiers of the Datang Army Fire Platoon have all learned how to use grenadiers, and the grenadiers can also directly throw grenades, which also has a comparative advantage in logistics. As for the problem that the grenadier can't hit accurately, Bai Nan didn't think it was a big deal, because like Hu Fakui beating Lan Fang, Bai Nan felt that using firepower like a grenadier was basically more intimidating, and he didn't expect to use the grenadier to cause much damage to the indigenous soldiers.

Kai Ao saw that Bai Nan led nearly a thousand soldiers at once, and it seemed to be very powerful, at least the Tang army marched in formation, and the uniform made Kai Ao feel a sense of solemnity and majesty that he had never felt. This chieftain, who was not too young, was very excited, and he was gearing up in his own tribe, ready to fight with the Tang army.

"We can start with a few neighboring islands, they are not as strong as our Wahu, and now with the help of the Tang brothers, we can easily defeat them." Caio pointed to the map, which was naturally surveyed and mapped by the Tang people, and he quickly figured it out after getting the map, and at this time he was pointing to Kauai, not far from Oahu.

Bai Nan didn't have any different opinions, in fact, whether it was to start encroaching on the neighboring islands step by step, or directly attack the island of Hawaii, and destroy the forces led by the chief Kalanyiub and his sons and nephews, it was not a difficult thing for Bai Nan, he had nearly a thousand soldiers, and directly launched an offensive, even if the island of Hawaii used tens of thousands of natives, it would not be able to resist the Tang army that had advanced them for several generations.

However, if you start with the surrounding islands, it is likely that the island of Hawaii will find out, and then unite the tribes of the other surrounding islands to form an alliance against the Wahu and the Tang. But even so, Bai Nan is still not afraid - a tiger is not afraid of a pack of mice. (To be continued.) )
