Chapter 297: Attack from the Sea

The charging horn that resounded through the mountains and forests and the soldiers of the East China Army who descended the mountain like tigers and wolves made this reinforced regiment of the French coalition army, which usually regarded itself as an elite, completely become a rout army with extreme baggage. As the commander of the French Union who led the team announced that he would lay down his arms and surrender, praying for the treatment of international prisoners of war, the rest of the soldiers almost surrendered.

In the face of these surrendered foreign devil soldiers, who were still shouting unconvinced, the reply given to them by the officers and soldiers of the mountain division was the butt of the weapon in their hands. For the soldiers of the East China Army, even if there are people in the army who understand the words of these foreign devils, or who understand those awkward Longhua words.

The soldiers of the East China Army will use this relatively violent means against foreign devils who do not obey and cooperate. Because they know that this method is the most suitable to deal with these foreign devils who shout about fairness and justice all day long. As long as the two rifle butts pass, no matter how arrogant the foreign devil is, he will be honest like an ostrich.

In less than half an hour, the reinforced regiment of the French coalition army, which had departed from Liangshan City in the morning, was once again a pile of corpses and a group of prisoners who were held together. The commander of the mountain division, who had ended the war, immediately ordered his battalion to start reconnaissance. Let's see if the battle they just now has attracted the attention of the French coalition forces in the direction of Liangshan City.

At the same time, the good news of the encirclement and annihilation of a reinforced regiment was sent to the division commander Tie Berlin, who was on the way, and he also asked for instructions on the next step of the operation. After all, I believe that any regimental-level commander is very clear about the truth of the speed of soldiers.

As Liangshan City is the first frontier strategic point to enter Daman Road, it is naturally very clear how important it is to take it for the subsequent wars. Tie Berlin asked the troops about the distance they had advanced, and it was less than ten kilometers away from the Liangshan Pass. Soon ordered the main regiment to keep a battalion of troops to garrison, and the rest of the troops to advance in the direction of Liangshan City.

As for the other mountain division units that also infiltrated. What they had to do was to deal with the enemy on the offensive path for the large army of Guixi troops that entered later. Recover all the large, medium and small cities in Daman Dao Province. While compressing the strategic line of the French coalition forces here, it also expanded its actual control.

The commander of the French coalition army in Dammam, who was still constantly deploying troops to block the advance of the East China Army, had been paying attention to the war zone bordering Longhua. But he didn't realize that there was already a united army, from the Fangcheng military port in western Guangxi, quietly appeared outside the French military port in Dammam.

When the French Coalition Navy stationed in the military port saw a large number of warships flying the Longhua flag that appeared outside the military port, they finally realized the danger. As the sirens sounded over the military port. There was also the shelling of the rapidly advancing warship Zhenxing. As for the fact that the Combined Fleet dared to be so bold and attack the military port, the reason was that this military port was not equipped with shore defense artillery at all.

For the Eagle and French coalition troops stationed in Daman Road, as a Shijie naval power, they do not need to deploy any shore defense artillery units at all. In their opinion. There are probably not many fleets that dare to fight a naval battle with them in East Asia. Since there is no need to worry about an attack on the naval side. It is naturally understandable that the military port did not have shore defense artillery.

Now see the navy of Longhua. It was so bold to form a combined fleet to attack their military port in Dammam Daxian City, and the French Navy finally understood how miserable the fate of the Longhua Navy would be. Facing the six Zhenxing-class main warships lined up in front of the military port, they threw huge naval guns into their military port.

The French warships were almost paralyzed in the harbor after a single shot. As for the officers and men of the Navy who were still having fun on the shore just now. At this time, they did not dare to approach them at all on the warship moored in the military port. Because rushing onto a warship at this time is undoubtedly an act of looking for death, and they will not do it if they are cannon fodder.

Under the shelling of the Zhenxing-class warships, the rest of the small main frigates cooperated with the battle. They arrived at the military port one after another amid the sound of artillery. Until the French allied warships anchored in the military port were completely sunk or damaged, and the military port was paralyzed. And these warships, which are suitable for sailing in shallow waters, began to deal with the French naval soldiers who were still fleeing on the shore, and covered the subsequent landing force to go ashore.

This mode of coordinated operations between the army and the navy is not too complicated for the East China Army and Navy, which has now formed and matured the Marine Corps. The officers and men of the navy and army, who have made several landings and coordinated operations, have already formed a tacit understanding of mutual cooperation between the two armies, which is not at all like the new tactics of the navy that have just appeared.

When the marines who arrived on the shore in small assault boats quickly set up the beachhead, a large number of ferries to cooperate with the operation behind them began to send the heavily armed marines to the beachhead on the coast of Da Thanh. Waiting for those garrisons in the city will also be a surprise attack by the marines of the East China Army.

If it is said that the Longhua Army on the front line of Guixi is stepping forward, it makes the generals of the French Alliance Army headquartered in Sandalwood City feel that they are truly aware of the danger. It was a telegram from the Da Cheng military port, their navy, telling that they had been attacked by the Longhua navy. Now the military port has been lost, and the news of the imminent fall of Da Cheng.

Sandalwood City is located in the center of Daman Road, some distance from Guixi and Caiyun. If the East China Army wants to travel a long distance to attack here, it can still reserve a little time for them to prepare. However, the fall of the Da Cheng military port really means that they are not far from the front of the Longhua army.

What to do?

Faced with the situation of being attacked on both sides, the commander of the French coalition forces stationed in Dammam also felt that the arrogant navy was simply not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Shouting all day long that they are shijie naval powers, no country will dare to touch them. Now Weishenme, can not even a single warship go out, and then it was sunk in the military port?

Now the fall of the Da Cheng military port will mean that the entire Daman Road belongs to the sea area controlled by the French coalition forces, and there is hardly any place that can prevent the landing of the Longhua navy. Haven't the various ports that have lost the protection of the navy almost like the navy of Longhua have opened their doors?

In this way, they not only had to face the army offensive from Guixi and Caiyun, but also the East China Army. It is also necessary to beware of the large landing force of the East China Army, which began to sweep them from these seaport cities. This is almost a war that swept through thousands of armies, so how can their commanders, who are already short of troops, deal with such a grim situation now?

The commander of the French forces stationed in Daman Road guessed that after taking the largest military port of the French forces in Dammam, the whole fleet was divided into two. Began along the coastline of Dammam Road, constantly clearing the remnants of the French Allied Navy in Dammam.

In the face of these wolves of the Longhua Navy fleet, the French Navy stationed here also sighed when the Longhua Navy grew so rapidly, but they didn't really regard the other party as an opponent? There will be today's end, why not take the blame?

After the naval fleet successfully captured the military port of Da Cheng, the East China Army, which had gathered on the islands in the South China Sea, several landing troops that had been on standby for a long time, began to see that the ferry ships they were on had begun to set sail. The air force that constantly flies over it is enough to monitor the fleets of other countries emerging from any direction. These landing troops gathered from the southeastern provinces will not be attacked while they are landing.

So much so that just after receiving the fall of Da Cheng, the defenders in the city almost fled before the arrival of the East China Army. The rest of the coastal port cities were patronized by the ships of the East China Navy, followed by elite landing troops. The cities along the coast of the French coalition army were in a state of total emergency.

As for the French coalition army's urgent request for help from the Eagle Royal Navy fleet, the reply received was that the Eagle people did not interfere in this war. In fact, I don't know how to intervene, because at this moment, outside the military port where the Royal Navy of the Eagle Country is stationed, the Longhua submarine that surfaces from time to time, as well as those planes that fly by from time to time, tell these navies to stay honest. The consequences of coming out can be very serious!

Even the Royal Navy fleet of the Eagle Country, which is difficult to protect itself, is a little afraid of the Longhua submarine that sneaks up from time to time and can clearly be seen by the Eagle Country Navy. began to ask the country for instructions, whether Dammam Road should be kept. Although their naval fleet and land force have not yet been attacked, the feeling of being almost blocked in the military port also makes these Eagle Army soldiers feel terrified.

Especially when they learned of the collapse of their neighbor French navy, they were even more worried that they would follow in their footsteps. When I contacted the Liaison Department of the East China Military Government, I got the news that their commander-in-chief, Xu Bin, could not be contacted. As for the personnel of the External Relations Department, it can only guarantee that the East China Army will not attack them, but this is based on the fact that the Eagle Army must be honest.

If the Eagle Nation's armies dare to participate in this war, then a large number of air and submarine forces will await them to inflict a devastating blow on their fleet. What's more, the people in the External Relations Department also began to emphasize that they should abide by the previous agreement between the two countries, withdraw from the territory of Daman Dao as soon as possible, and fulfill the treaty reached in the contract.

War acts as an uncertainty, and no one can guarantee that the two armies will not misfire at that time. You must know that in recent years, there are still a lot of military generals who are not subject to military orders abroad. Now that the Eagle Country's army is still not leaving, it is not what the two countries want to see if they really run into the stunned Longhua generals and cause some friction.

In the face of the reply given by the Longhua Liaison Department, coupled with the naval and army commanders of the Eagle Country stationed in Damandao, from this battle that had just started two days. It was already clearly felt that the rout of the French coalition was almost doomed. If they retreat in advance, transfer the naval land to the state of Indochina. Perhaps in the event of a great defeat of the French coalition, it is not impossible to go to Indochina more to obtain benefits.

After all, as colonizers, they are more concerned about the interests of their own country. If the French army loses at Damandao, it means that their colonial strategy in East Asia will be a complete failure. (To be continued......)
