The Japanese fleet had retreated, and it took two hours for the Naval Resistance Army, and all the officers and men went into battle together, and finally extinguished dozens of fire points on the Pacific, and the Pacific was temporarily safe. Li Guang secretly analyzed the gains and losses of this battle in his heart. In the past, he always thought that some commanders were easy to judge on the battlefield. In fact, no one is omnipotent on the battlefield, intelligence is always insufficient, and luck comes and goes. There are many fortuitous factors that constrain human judgment, which in turn influences the decisions of commanders and changes the situation of the battle. There are a lot of mistakes in themselves, Zheng Xuechang's mistakes, and there are also many mistakes of devils.

However, all this has to be put to the rest of the story, and what Li Guang must consider now is not the gains and losses of the campaign, nor the losses, but the fact that he cannot continue to expand the losses.

The Pacific is now located on the Somali Peninsula, the easternmost point of Africa.

It is located in the easternmost part of Africa, jutting out of the Somali Peninsula in the Arabian Sea to the northeast. This is the largest peninsula in eastern Africa, with a triangular shape protruding northeastward, bordering the Indian Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Aden to the north, and Cape Guadafoy at the top. The Pacific is beached at Cape Guadafoy.

It's a triangular area, and without the support of the navy, it's definitely a desperate situation.

There is no need to think about it, the rumbling of artillery in the naval battle shook for tens of kilometers, and it definitely alarmed the Italian troops on the shore.

In Li Guang's plan, after the Pacific Ocean washed the beach, the PC took back all the crew and retreated to Yemen to make plans again. The Pacific was thrown here for three or two months, not to mention that the Naval Resistance Army could not be transferred, even the Italians could not be transferred. Wait for the British ground forces to begin their offensive against Italy, and then the Naval Resistance Army will take the opportunity to recapture the Pacific.

When Li Guang made this suggestion, Zheng Xuechang woke up from his dementia: "Commander, you can't give up the Pacific. He feared that the Italians would take the opportunity to blow up the steel ship.

Zheng Xuechang had tears in his eyes and clenched his fists. This Pacific trumpet is his heart and heart, and it is his children. He didn't want to leave for a moment.

Li Guang understood Zheng Xuechang's mood and comforted: "The devil's loss is not smaller than ours, not to mention that our Pacific has not sunk yet, right?" We'll definitely take it back. ”

"Commander, commander." The fighters aboard the Pacific pleaded, and hundreds wept with tears in their eyes.

This battleship is their hard work, and for the first battleship of China and the first battleship of the Maritime Resistance Army, every fighter has poured indescribable painstaking efforts. There were at least a hundred officers and men recruited from China on this battleship, and their feelings for a battleship were even deeper. They had faced the Japanese army's huge ships and guns, and knew how vulnerable a navy without battleships was.

"Commander, the battleship won't move, but we can, we still have guns."

"Defend the Pacific to the death."

The Naval Resistance Army, or the entire Chinese army, is completely different from the armies of Europe and the United States, and the Anglo-French coalition army can abandon tens of thousands of artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of tons of military supplies in Dunkirk. But the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army were willing to fight for their lives for this broken battleship. China is too poor, which soldier does not know what level of existence a battleship is for the weak China.

Some fighters experienced the pride of the battleship Atlantic sailing into the Río de la Plata. Those big-nosed foreign devils have always despised the Chinese. But when the foreign devil saw the huge battleship, the worship in his eyes made every Chinese son and daughter proud from the heart. Being able to be a small soldier on a battleship is the pride of every soldier and the wish of every Chinese son. For this battleship, the Pickup One sank, for this battleship, the Jairus One sank, for this battleship, hundreds of brothers died.

In today's battle, the Naval Resistance Army is at a weaker position in absolute strength, although it is not a mistake of the war, but in the hearts of the soldiers, the Pacific has fallen into such a situation, and there is a deep guilt in their hearts.

Faced with a crippled battleship, they were not willing to leave for a moment.

Li Guang is making great strides towards becoming a soldier, but he is not yet a qualified general. Who said that a general should be hard-hearted and sensible? Li Guang was moved by the soldiers and decided to be sensitive, land in advance to defend the scarred battleship.

After Li Guang gave the order, the soldiers cheered, and even the wounded picked up their rifles.

In order to keep the battleship from falling into the hands of the Italians, the task was easily assigned--- the officers and men had to land and hold off the Italians for at least ten hours.

For this area, the Maritime Resistance Army does not have accurate information, but the fighters have reconnoitred a lot here, taken a lot of photos, and the terrain is quite accurate.

Staff Officer Hu Bofeng had already spread out a map on the table, and judging from the map, it was easy to draw up a blocking plan.

A triangular strip of 300 kilometers deep in the Somali Peninsula. The geography is very peculiar, the northern part of the peninsula is composed of flat-topped mountain blocks and ridges in an area parallel to the Gulf of Aden, the northern slope (near the Gulf of Aden), the southern slope is gentle, the altitude is 1000~1800 meters, and the highest point of Surud Peak is 2408 meters above sea level. It is the eastern extension of the mountainous region on the edge of the southeastern plateau of Ethiopia. The southern part of the peninsula is a part of the Geira Somali Plateau, with an altitude of 500~1500 meters, which is a gently cut undulating plateau with many intermittent small rivers.

However, the northern mountain range is not completely continuous, and there are three gaps in the middle, which facilitate communication with the Gulf of Aden, so that three ports are formed. These are also the three Italian ports that the Pacific has focused on in the past two months.

In this vast area, most of the ground is the Gobi Desert, but there are three hills that run from north to south. Some of these hills run through the north and south of the peninsula, while others are semi-run. So much so that on this peninsula, road traffic forms a strange 'Z' shape.

On the map, the first traffic point is four or five kilometers west of the Pacific.

Along the coastline of the Gulf of Aden, there is a winding road. The highway faces the sea on one side and the Gobi hills on the other.

As long as the hills are stuck, the road can be cut off.

And this hilly Gobi, spreading from north to south, obscures the sharp corners of the easternmost part of Somalia. If this Gobi is a pedestrian problem, it is not a big problem, but heavy weapons cannot be transported at all.

It is also this hill and Gobi that unites the easternmost tip of the African continent into a triangle five or six kilometers deep. And this small triangle will become a temporary landing ground for the Naval Resistance Army.

Time, geography, people. These are the three major elements that must be relied upon in warfare.

When the time came, Li Guang couldn't figure it out.

The Italians are also colonial troops, and the Maritime Resistance Army is an outsider, and the two sides are even. In fact, the Italians should have the upper hand, after all, they have occupied the area for a few months. (This territory also belonged to Somalia in later generations, and was considered British Somalia before the Italian occupation.) ）

Geography, if the Naval Resistance Army can occupy the hills and choke the road before the Italian army reacts, then it can barely be regarded as a geographical advantage.

With the issuance of the combat order, the first batch of 200 soldiers landed in the water under the leadership of Zheng Xuechang.

The Pacific is now completely destroyed even in its lifeboats, and the fighters can only carry light weapons and swim in arms. Although the Pacific was stranded on a beach, the water depth here is still more than five meters. In addition, the soldiers were extremely tired after nearly ten hours of fighting, and it was extremely difficult to log in at this time.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zheng Xuechang reported that he had successfully occupied the hilly pass and was building fortifications. The first time he commanded a land battle, and it was also a land battle for naval officers and men, Li Guang's nerves tensed, and when the news came, Li Guang was much more relieved.

The Naval Resistance Force initially had a geographical advantage, and the unprepared amphibious landing warfare actually took the lead. As long as they can hold this hilly pass, the Naval Resistance Army will have the opportunity to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Although this is an amphibious login in desperation, the start is not bad. Li Guang waved his fist excitedly aboard the Pacific.
