Chapter 317: The Coalition Withdraws
When night falls, the sunset on the horizon looks like a cloud of pus and blood, and the sea also shines with patches of blood red, which looks bloody...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:.
The smell of blood was all around, and Isain had just bandaged a wounded man, and finally straightened up, walked to the lookout window, and looked at the sea in the distance, except for the gleam of blood, there were no ships coming to help.
Well, it will take three days to sail here from Sakhalin, to say the least, and it will not be good to 'get it', and the reinforcements may not arrive until four or five days later. Ishayne knew that the situation would not change until at least tomorrow night.
This is the lookout window facing west, and on this side it is against the river, and the river is turbulent and flows into the sea not far away. The water at the mouth of the sea was wide enough to be clearly unsuitable for attacking, and the pirates consciously gave up attacking on this side.
The sky had become a little gray, and he withdrew his gaze from afar, but saw corpses floating on the blood-stained river. It was the corpses that had floated from the moat, hundreds of corpses floating and sinking on the surface of the river, and the corpses were piled up in the east and west, and they were slowly pushed to the surface of the sea by the river.
It was already the evening of the next day, and the castle was almost captured in a round of attack, but fortunately, it was finally held, and the besieging men and horses immediately receded like a 'tide'. The possibility of a field battle is not very 'sexual', and last night, the defenders were so wolf-like, and the besiegers did not choose to attack at night. It should be noted that in the era of cold weapons, night battles are quite difficult, wielding knives in the dark night to 'mess' and chop, may not hurt the enemy but will hurt comrades-in-arms, play night battles, play well, if you don't play well, you are likely to cripple yourself. Of course, it's not that night battles can't be fought, but night battles require both strict discipline and high tactics, and coordination is also quite important.
But tomorrow morning, there will be another 'tidal' offensive.
The reinforcements brought by Tang Kai should sail overnight, but at least tomorrow there is no way to expect reinforcements to arrive. Ishayne shook her head, and said in her heart, she didn't know if she could hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
Ishayne was already a little numb, she was used to seeing too much blood and too many deaths in the past two days, and some of the wounded swallowed their last breath under their noses. The number of defenders was so small that even the paramedics were eventually drawn into battle, and Isa was forced to join the paramedics. At first, when faced with the bloody wounds of the wounded, Isa vomited many times. Later, I got used to spitting and spitting.
Yesterday was besieged for a day, and the shape shì was critical several times, and even the No. 3 pillbox was lost, and finally it was able to defend it. Relying on grenades and explosives packets.
This morning the shape shì was even more precarious, several times it was almost impossible to hold on, and in the end, even the sailors and members of the telecommunications team went up, fortunately, the bullets and grenades were quite sufficient, the enemy rushed to the bottom of the round fort, and the rookie defenders had to do their job was to pull out the 'plug' pin and throw grenades from behind the castle wall to the bottom of the round fort.
Once, a 'female' true warrior had rushed up the city wall, and several exhausted defenders rushed up and fought bayonets, but the 'female' true Tartar was very skillful, and the three defenders who surrounded him were not his opponents at all, but fortunately, one of the defenders pulled out the 'plug' pin of the grenade on his body when he was dying, and in the explosion of the grenade, the agile Tartar master and the Tartar who came up behind were stunned at the same time, and then were shotgunned at the moment of confusion. The ejection was covered with iron sand and beaten into a sieve.
After that crisis, the situation changed, not because of the death of a 'female' true Tartar master, but because the besiegers had used up all the bullets they had captured.
Yesterday, the defenders were hot-headed in pursuit, of course, it was impossible to bring many base bullets, a soldier had been equipped with 50 bullets, these 50 bullets had been knocked out almost 20 before rushing across the suspension bridge, and some bullets were knocked out in the process of pursuit, and less than half of the bullets were left that did not go out, as the main force of the "coalition army", the 'female' real cavalry charged and collected more than 100 defenders at once, and with this joyful cavalry assault, there was an unexpected surprise, that is, more than 100 advanced muskets were captured. However, the ammunition they carried with them was limited, and the total number of bullets captured was 2,000, while the bullets for rifles were less than 1,000, and the bullets for shotguns were more than 1,000.
It was only because the seizure was too light that a group of rookies did not cultivate the consciousness of changing the way to save bullets in the Eighth Route Army in later generations, and as a result, the rookies patronized and released their guns happily, crackling for a while, and finally this morning, all the bullets were finished. Now, the musket that fell into the hands of the "coalition forces" has been transformed into a cold weapon, and at least the Japanese say that the musket with bayonets is made of steel, and it is definitely much better than most of the swords of the "coalition forces."
Originally, as long as the defenders honestly guarded the fortress as shrinking turtles, it would never be possible for the "coalition forces" to capture so many muskets in one fell swoop, and the defense would be much easier. But Cen Gang was unwilling to play the turtle stream, and it was precisely Ishayin who could influence Cen Gang who committed the 'fault' of underestimating the enemy, in Ishain's eyes, the besiegers did not even have decent armor, and they were simply a group of powerless rabble, which turned out to be a big mistake. Such a low-level mistake allowed the "coalition forces" to suddenly possess rifles, a long-range weapon with the ability to strike with "precision".
Dozens of rifles fell into the hands of the "coalition forces", which can be described as very deadly. Originally, the long-range weapon that the besieging enemy army used handily was the bow and arrow, and the bow and arrow were not lethal if they were a hundred meters away. Jin Bing's meteor bullet theoretically has a range of four or five hundred steps, but in fact, after two hundred meters, the meteor bullet is inaccurate, and the meteor bullet is 'fired' across the moat. But the rifle is different, the Mao rifle still has a considerable 'shooting' and 'precision' at a distance of 400 meters, the moat is less than 300 meters away from the round fort, the enemy has the Mao rifle, the defenders' advantage in long-range firepower is no longer there, when the good scholars of the coalition army learned to 'fiddle' with the rifle, the defense of the round fort became extremely difficult.
It must be said that the Japanese are still very aware of the use of weapons, and some of them quickly figured out the tactics of using rifles. Needless to say, the main direction of attack of the "coalition forces" was still the direction of the No. 2 pillbox, and this rabble concentrated fifty rifles, and began to fire their guns from afar, hitting the concrete walls of the round fort.
As soon as Issain remembered the fire of the "coalition forces" yesterday, she felt extremely afraid.
At least in terms of momentum, the platoon guns of the "coalition forces" are indeed impressive. Yesterday afternoon, under the cover of rifle fire, the cannon fodder of the "coalition army" rushed up almost in a row, and the posture made Issain a little stunned. In the absence of machine guns, the crowd tactics appear to be very effective, on the moat in front of the No. 2 pillbox, the drawbridge has always been unblocked, which is very beneficial to the attackers, and the feints on the other two sides have attracted the firepower of the defenders, and the defensive firepower in the direction of the main attack thus appears to be a little thin, after going forward and dying a bunch of people, the attackers rushed to the back of the ruins of the No. 2 pillbox, and by the shelter of the ruins, the guy holding the Mao's rifle actually aimed at the defenders and fired his gun, full of enthusiasm, Untrained marksmanship is naturally poor, but a blind cat can also run into a dead mouse, and the ruins of Bunker No. 2 are only two hundred meters from the Round Fort, and the bullets in the ruins 'shoot' at the Round Fort whizz, and every now and then a certain defender soldier will be hit by a bullet.
The number of defenders was already limited, so the situation of the defense became more and more critical.
Fortunately, the barbed wire fence temporarily pulled up behind the No. 2 pillbox played a good defensive role, and the charging team was a little overwhelmed in front of the barbed wire, and the palm of the hand was pierced by the barbed wire, and then it was simply hooked by the barbed wire and could not get out.
War is of course a brutal game, the first cannon fodder is ravaged by the defenders in front of the barbed wire, and their corpses are used as stepping stones by the attackers behind. When the attackers who crossed the barbed wire rushed under the round fort regardless of the casualties, the 'crossing' fire from the bunker pillbox and the round fort was at this time exerted its might, and between the ruins and the round fort, a net of death fire was suddenly opened, reaping the lives of the attackers again and again.
The offensive and defensive sides of the attack and defense around the round fort and the No. 2 pillbox this section of less than 200 meters in the tug-of-war, the sea of people like 'waves', suddenly rolled towards the round fort, and then rolled back, and then rolled over, and then rolled back, one 'wave' head after another 'wave' head to the round fort pounced, the attacker was completely deadly play. But it is such a barbaric style of play that cannot be talked about tactics, so that the defenders have no respite at all, and this kind of fighting and attrition style of play makes the defenders unable to consume.
If it weren't for the fact that the ammunition and 'medicine' reserves were still sufficient, the Round Fort would have been breached a long time ago. This makes people sigh, Van Vliet's ammunition 'medicine' is really the best combat power bonus, and at the most critical time, the grenade seems to be thrown on the attacker's head as if he doesn't want money, but the angry thing is that when a stunned guy threw the explosive 'drug' bag below, he threw the explosive 'medicine' bag too close to the round fort in a panic, and as a result, the round fort was blown out of a three-foot square gap, and this gap almost became a shortcut for the enemy to break through. Fortunately, after the explosion, the enemy was either killed or wounded, and when the smoke of the explosion dispersed, when the enemy realized that this was a golden opportunity, a prefabricated slab had been blocked in the gap, and after a while, it was jammed with masonry, and there was no longer a single gap in sight.
From yesterday to today, the battle situation has been unprecedentedly 'fierce', the casualties of the defenders have been rising, up to now, the casualty rate of the defenders has reached more than eighty percent, Cen Gang was also wounded, but hanging one arm, has been still commanding. The three hundred defenders, after two days, only ninety-five people remained, of which seventeen were seriously wounded and thirty-nine were lightly wounded.
Ishayne sighed, the Heart War is really an extremely cruel game, and it is not something that a 'woman' can play.
The next day, when the morning light was just 'revealed' out of the sky, everyone in Roundcastle was woken up, and Issain was no exception.
"Sister, I don't know what's going on, the enemy seems to be gone." Tan Wangdi has experienced the war in the first two days, and she seems to be more mature, and she seems to be a little bolder, well, growing up in the war, whether it is a man or a woman, at this life-and-death juncture, the degree of adaptation to the environment is amazing.
"This must be luring us to attack, we can't be fooled." We can't afford to be fooled anymore, Issain said.
However, until the third pole of the day, there was still not a single living "coalition" soldier on the battlefield. Like Issain, Cen Gang, who had become unprecedentedly cautious, waited and waited until he saw no movement around him before sending personnel to reconnoiter the enemy's tracks.
After some careful investigation, I realized that the enemy had withdrawn, silently, and had already withdrawn in the dark of night.
Soon a flotilla came from afar on the sea. When it became clear that it was his own fleet, Roundfort erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
This is the fleet carrying Wang Feng and his entourage, Wang Feng finally said goodbye to Chen Liang, reluctantly bid farewell to the Kra Isthmus, and also embarked on the journey to Sakhalin Island.
When Wang Feng stepped on the 6th place and listened to Cen Gang's report, he smiled bitterly:
"In this way, the enemy must have been scared away by our fleet, in fact, all our ships this time are sailboats, not even clippers, it seems that our prestige at sea has been made. You can scare away enemies. Wang Feng said this, but he hummed in his heart: Count your Three Kingdoms Alliance as acquaintances, hum! If you want to fight a naval battle with us, there is no 'door'! Even if we are slow ships, we will still abuse you.
Hey! It's a pity that they slipped away and didn't take the opportunity to swoop the Triple Alliance at sea. Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh, the 'female' real people are not only willing to die to fight, they can also stretch and shrink, and their noses seem to be extraordinarily spiritual-32133+dsuaahhh+2654o891->
