The army unit of Madagascar was led by Yang Weiwu. On the first day of operation, the landing of the Naval Resistance Army was carried out extremely smoothly, and it can be said that it was not bloody.

It was getting late, and nearly half of the more than 6,000 troops of the Naval Resistance Army had landed. Bai Chongfu's amphibious battalion, which was in charge of the vanguard occupation, was as relaxed as an exercise, and the whole process was not fired at all.

The reason is that Yuan Ran, the landing site, is too familiar, and the landing site chosen by the Naval Resistance Army is the small town where she bought the manor before. There was no army there at all, except for a few dozen Frenchmen, three or two policemen. A special squad quietly landed, easily cut off the town's external telephone lines, and controlled several small policemen.

This port is called Iruod, and it is actually not far from the military port of Vladivostok, that is, thirty or forty kilometers. Originally, the wharf here could only moor fishing boats, but Yuan Ran's preparations were good enough, and the wharf she funded and built was enough to dock cargo ships with a displacement of thousands of tons, and the landing craft of the Maritime Resistance Army could easily rush to the beachhead, and the freighters could easily dock. Therefore, the landing operation of the Naval Resistance Army went smoothly as if it were on its own territory.

In the pre-war plan, Yang Weiwu was to start attacking Vladivostok immediately after landing. After taking Vladivostok, build an airfield, and then completely clear the French army from north to south.

This kind of strategic plan is not clever, but can only be called steady.

If you think about it tactically, this style of play is definitely not the fastest. It's not that the Naval Resistance Forces can't come up with a better battle plan, but because the purpose of the war is different. Through this advance from south to north, the Naval Resistance Army was able to fully control Madagascar, and in the process, it also had to show the political influence of the Haitang Kingdom. Madagascar is only a French colony, and there are a large number of indigenous people. The occupation of Madagascar by the Naval Resistance Army was a change of ruler for the natives, but in the process. It is inevitable that some restless guys will jump out and want to establish themselves as kings, which requires the deterrence of force.

It is precisely because the Naval Resistance Army intends to establish a country here, that the Naval Resistance Army does not plan to kill, and its policy towards the indigenous people is still based on Huairou assimilation. Therefore, a set of personnel to manage civil affairs was prepared from the beginning, and the NDRC will be stationed as soon as the Navy-Resistance Forces completely occupy Vladivostok.

From the very beginning of the battle, the advance of the troops was quite smooth. But the situation of the war is definitely not something that can be completely determined by the staff on the sand table.

The next offensive method of Yang Weiwu's mixed regiment will have to consider the command and combat level of the Naval Resistance Army.

You must know that in Vladivostok, the city should be said to be quite easy to take, but the fortress is not so easy to get.

In the beginning. In the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff, there was no intention of storming Vladivostok. Later, when the Naval Resistance Army occupied Vladivostok, it was discovered that fortunately, the battleship Atlantic did not directly attack the fortress and bombed the battery. The French who belonged to the tortoise laid countless mines around the fairway. If Li Guang knew history, he would feel even more lucky. You must know that the British used frontal offensive tactics when they captured this military port. As a result, a destroyer was sunk by a mine, and the battleship Ramillis of the Royal Navy was sunk by a French submarine that arrived later. But due to the shallow water in the port. The Ramillis was able to sink to the bottom of the sea, and it was salvaged and repaired soon after.

There is no such problem with the tactics adopted by the Naval Resistance Force now. The army fought from the outskirts of the port, first capturing the city on the back of the port, then the military port, and finally taking the fortress. Such an offensive line completely avoided the threat of shore artillery. The shore artillery of the French is very good, but the shore artillery is against the sea. Most of the blockade fans are 120 degrees, and if they die, they are 180 degrees, and they can't deal with the opponents behind them at all.

On the day of landing, it was not yet completely dark. Yang Weiwu has easily occupied the city of Vladivostok.

The success of the first battle made Li Guang feel a lot more at ease, according to the report. The French garrison was killed by nearly thirty men and taken one hundred prisoners. Numerically, the resistance of the French army was fierce enough.

The losses of the naval resistance army were minimal, with less than ten casualties, including two killed. The reason is that whether it is equipment or the quality of soldiers, the Naval Resistance Army completely has the upper hand. The French fought tenaciously enough, but they were also depressed enough. In one of the armored companies dispatched by the Naval Resistance Army, there were eight French-made B1 heavy tanks. The French suffered in the face of weapons of their own making.

The French are not depressed, this kind of heavy tank was also an extremely valuable weapon in the French army before the war, and the French did not even have one in Madagascar.

The French retreated from the city, and the harbor fell into the hands of the Naval Resistance. However, the key to the capture of Vladivostok was to capture the key shore artillery positions, which were the strongholds of the French army.

On the morning of the 19th, Yang Weiwu had blocked the dangerous pass leading to the fortress.

After Yang Weiwu took the harbor, he rushed to the fortress pass position. The French army set up a very important fortress. The location of the fortress is a hill facing the sea, although the mountain is not high, only twenty or thirty meters, and the width is only more than a hundred meters, but it stretches for four or five hundred meters, just sealing the channel for ships to enter the port.

The French are adept at building defensive lines, and after many years of operation, this fortress is truly impregnable. All the batteries are built on a hill and blend in with the mountain. Lanes, trenches, cantonment stations, and medical living facilities are complete and complete.

Such a fortress, if according to normal means, Yang Weiwu is very reluctant to attack, and the attack will inevitably result in heavy casualties. As long as the strategy of encircling but not fighting is adopted, sooner or later the French army will inevitably surrender. However, the follow-up strategy of the Naval Resistance Army must use this port, and Yang Weiwu has to fight.

Among the three main regiments of the Naval Resistance Army, Yang Weiwu has a strange traditional military thinking and admires the ancient art of war the most. In addition to Sun Tzu's Art of War, the book I usually like to read is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Now is a very good opportunity to surrender without a fight. It's a pity that Yang Weiwu can't try his hand at such a good test site, which is a pity. Among the three army commanders of the Naval Resistance Army, Yang Weiwu may be the best at using small units to fight, and the experience of the special squad has also cultivated Yang Weiwu's penchant for surprise victories in combat.

However, the overall strategy and tactics formulated by the Naval Resistance Force this time made it somewhat difficult for Yang Weiwu to display his hands and feet. In Madagascar, a more backward region than Ceylon, the indigenous people are still mostly primitive clan chieftains, and most of them live in a primitive state of slash-and-burn farming. The French did not build anything here except for plundering supplies, and the whole of Madagascar had a decent port. The Maritime Resistance Army is determined to win the port of Vladivostok. Without this port, a large number of supplies and personnel cannot be transferred here, which will directly affect the follow-up plan.

Yang Weiwu had been observing the French fortress all night, and finally came to the conclusion that --- this fortress was too difficult to fight.

At the entrance to the fortress there is only a gravel road three or four meters wide, which is constructed along the inner harbor. On the other side of the gravel road, a small hill looks at the entrance.

If you want to launch an attack on the French fortress, you must take the hill in front of you. This hill is really not big, only less than 100 meters in circumference and more than 20 meters high. But a night of fire reconnaissance showed that the hill was actually a monolithic fortress.

AT LEAST ONE 75MM GUN WAS ARRANGED ON THE FORT. One anti-tank gun, six heavy machine guns, more than a dozen light machine guns. All the firing holes were made of concrete, and the infantry and anti-tank guns of the Naval Resistance Army could not pose a threat to them at long distances.

What made Yang Weiwu even more uncomfortable was that the open land of more than a kilometer in front of the hill fortress was too open. Except for the low weeds, not even a small tree.

This situation. Even the artillery company of the Naval Resistance Army is elite enough. The tactics of being able to hit a barrage are also useless, and the light and heavy machine guns of the French army can easily block all the space.

Yang Weiwu thought about all the tactics he knew in his mind, but there was still no solution.

The wings are circuitous, and it doesn't work. The tripod barbed wire in the sea was so dense that the infantry simply could not pass through. In fact, even if the infantry reached the back of the hill fortress, it would be difficult for them to make contributions. Pure self-defeating.

Since Yang Weiwu joined the Naval Resistance Army, he has been Li Guang's guard squad leader for a few days, and then he began to lead the special team. In the battle, Yang Weiwu has always sought victory in danger. It's about tactics to win. If the special squad is faced with this situation, the first choice is a sneak attack. In the current situation, there is no chance of a sneak attack, and if you want to take this place, Yang Weiwu can't think of any good moves. The experience since joining the army has made Yang Weiwu accustomed to fighting skillful battles, and he does not like this kind of frontal assault very much.

Until the sky turned white, Yang Weiwu finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Sun Tzu can't find a solution in the Art of War, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not read in vain, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang burned to death King Ugo's 30,000 vine armor soldiers in the Snake Valley Yang Weiwu is very clear.

In the early morning sun, Yang Weiwu ordered the release of a French prisoner and went to the French position to persuade him to surrender.

Unsurprisingly, the French commander was not at all shy about the Chinese's persuasion. The French commander, Colonel Pierre, did not think that the Chinese could take the fortified forts of nearly a thousand French troops. In this fortress, there is plenty of food and water, and ammunition is plentiful. There are even a couple of French prostitutes-women.

Historically, Colonel Pierre of the French Army surrendered after being given two bottles of gin by the attacking British officer, perhaps because in Pierre's opinion, the British showed a gentlemanly demeanor and gave him enough face, not to mention that surrendering to the white man did not seem to be so humiliating. Yang Weiwu may have given away two bottles of wine?

The good-faced French don't know that Yang Weiwu is a completely different kind of soldier, he believes in the destiny of heaven, but he is also decisive. Face is worthless on the battlefield, and by the time Pierre regrets it, it's too late.

At seven o'clock, dozens of fighters of the Naval Resistance Army all took to the air. The French were amazed as the planes swooped down down the hill, but none of the bombs exploded.

More than 70 warplanes dropped more than 30 tons of napalm in less than half an hour, but although all of them fell to pieces when they hit the ground, they did not explode because none of them were equipped with fuses.

The French soldiers smelled the smell of gasoline that diffused in the air inside the fort. The French soldiers were immediately in a riot. The French are not stupid, and they certainly don't want to try the feeling of being burned. But the efforts of the French soldiers were all in vain. The French found it impossible to clear the gasoline out of the position. The napalm was torn apart, and the glued gasoline was also splashed everywhere, clinging to the rocks, weeds and fortifications, and it was impossible to clean it at all.

Having never seen the power of napalm, the French were naïve, and they found a large pile of debris to plug the firing holes in a vain attempt to counter the power of napalm.

At half past seven, Liu Gensheng drove a fighter plane to dive and drop the last napalm. This napalm is completely different from the previous napalm in that it has a fuse.

As the bomb fell rapidly from the sky, the napalm tumbled and created a wall of fire on the hill. Within seconds, all the gel-packed gasoline had been completely ignited, and the hill fortress immediately burst into flames, like a lit torch, and the flames soared a hundred meters into the air.

A violent shock wave mixed with a suffocating heat wave swept through the blocked debris of the shooting hole with a momentum that swept through the world, and the flames immediately rushed into the bunker, devouring everything at a rapid speed!

When these flames burned, they crackled and exploded a little bit of white light in the flames. There was a scorching glow. The rising fire dragon sticks out its tongue of fire and licks everything greedily. Whenever a mountain wall or human body is licked by tongues of fire, it burns almost immediately.

No creature can survive under such flames, not even hiding in a fortress. The rapidly burning gasoline sucked up the surrounding air, and the French troops in the tunnel fortress did not expect it at all. Before the fire could penetrate the concrete walls, the flames drained the air inside the bunker.

Not many French officers and soldiers hiding in the bunker fortifications died from direct fire. Most died of asphyxiation. The French officers and soldiers who hid in the depths of the fortifications escaped the ravages of the flames. But they could not escape the pervasive scorching air, and their respiratory tracts were scalded by the hot air, causing suffocation. His death was so horrific that many French officers and soldiers had their fingers slashed their throats.

The unbearable French officers and soldiers opened the gate in a delirious sense, rushed out of the fortress, and immediately turned into a burning body. Screaming in the midst of the fire. And the opening of the door hastened the death of French officers and soldiers even more.

In the trenches in the distance, Yang Weiwu held a telescope and looked at the raging fire. If you look closely, Yang Weiwu's hands are trembling at the moment, and his face is blue. He muttered in his mouth: "I have heard, 'He who is good for water is not good for fire.'" Although the rattan armor cannot be entered by swords and arrows. It is a thing soaked in oil, and it will be lit when it sees fire. The brute soldiers are so naughty, can they win without fire attack? Whoever leaves no kind of people in the country of Ugo is my grave sin! ”

This is a sentence that Zhuge Wuhou said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms after burning the rattan armor soldiers.

The surrounding soldiers of the Maritime Resistance Army were all pale, and they felt chills all over their bodies under the hot sun. They had seen the horror of napalm burning, but it was the first time they had seen so many napalm explode at the same time, and the horror was beyond their knowledge.

There were warriors muttering and not knowing what to say. Everyone was shocked by what they saw, and if what hell they could have thought of before was overturned at this moment, the scene in front of them was hell.

The fire stopped, and the whole hill was filled with steam, like steamed buns that had just come out of the pot. "Buns", when the word comes to mind, quite a few fighters are already vomiting.

Yang Weiwu did not give another order. Perhaps, in his heart, such a brutal method of slaughter could not be accepted.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Wuhou killed the rattan armor soldiers too heavily because of the fire, so that he lost his life. Traditional martial artists like Yang Weiwu are convinced of this kind of statement. Burning, for the enemy, the way to die is too cruel, and the means are not bright enough, so Yang Weiwu seems to be a big damage to Yin morality.

But if he were given another choice, for the sake of the lives of his brothers, he would still make such a decision.

Yang Weiwu did not send people to persuade him to surrender again, and the French commander Pierre was already frightened at this time, and just after noon, more than 500 French troops lined up to surrender.

More than 110 French soldiers were burned dead in this battle, and none of the French troops in the hill fortress survived. The fighters of the Naval Resistance Army spent a day just cleaning the fortress, and all the soldiers in charge of cleaning wanted to vomit when they smelled the meat within a month, and the horror scene was too impressive. The French prisoners were even more frightened by the tragic situation before them, and in the face of the roasted corpses of the French soldiers, the French gentlemen strongly resisted the work of collecting the corpses of their comrades.

Colonel Pierre, who at the moment had no desire to fight for the rights of prisoners of war for officers and soldiers, sat on the grass, covered in vomiting filth, and stared at a pair of dead fish eyes.

After this battle, Pierre got a sentence from Yang Weiwu: "My Tang Dynasty is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and for you barbarians, I will salute first and then soldier." However, persuasion is only once. ”

The French colonel, wandering like a wanderer, muttered: "Barbarians? French? Inferior? ”

There is no way, the translation level is too poor, and what Yang Weiwu said about barbarism has been translated as barbaric and inferior.

Regardless of whether the French still have a face problem at the moment, but the French, or the whites, in the eyes of the local black natives like gods, began to fall apart. The natives realized that the yellow-skinned people in front of them were more powerful than the white people they had previously revered.

It was only in the early morning of the 18th that Li Guang symbolically set foot on this land. Looking at this land, Li Guang felt indescribable apprehension and pride in his heart. He, a young man in modern times, should toss such a thing as founding a country in this era, which is simply a fantasy, even if he is already doing it, he still has an unreal feeling.

The main fleet of the Naval Resistance Army, the mission is complete. On the 19th, the main fleet of the Naval Resistance Army left Madagascar. Yang Weiwu will henceforth undertake all the tasks of capturing Madagascar. In order to ensure absolute victory, Li Guang also deliberately left the PJP seaplane carrier under the command of Yang Weiwu.
