Chapter 1238: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

"It's still too few troops!" Roger stared at the empty beach, and could only let out a helpless wry smile.

The most effective way to deal with the Johor army's offensive was to attack halfway and crush their landing force at the beachhead. However, judging from the actual situation, it is indeed a bit difficult for the Haihan Army to realize this battle plan, and Roger knows that there is no hope, so he can only give up this plan that is not easy to implement first.

The terrain of Star Island is too flat, and if you don't start a war on the coastline, then there is basically no danger to defend all the way south, and the feasibility of setting up an ambush and sniping opponent on the way is similar to a beachhead decisive battle. Roger thought about it, and it seemed that the decisive battle site could really only be placed on the south side of the island.

However, the Sing Tao base in the south of the island is an immigrant village in the north, and the garrison base is in the south, and the Johor army will bear the brunt of the immigrant village from the north of the island to the south, which is not an ideal place for combat. Although villages can be used as natural shelters for the deployment of military positions, such a practice is bound to cause a lot of panic among the people, especially the new immigrants who have only recently arrived in the local area, and they will face the threat of war as soon as they settle down, and I am afraid that few people can stand this kind of stimulation.

Roger also has a headache when he thinks about it, this matter is much more difficult to deal with than he expected, and he doesn't dare to make a rash decision, he still has to discuss it with the people around him, especially Tan Juren, who is currently in charge of civil affairs, must ask for his opinion.

"You mean, you are going to abandon the plan to build a defensive line in the Strait of Johor, and instead let the enemy troops in to fight?" Tan Juren confirmed whether he had misunderstood after listening to Roger's story.

Regarding the situation that Roger said, Tan Juren wanted to say that he was not surprised at all, it was definitely impossible. According to the plan revealed to him by Luo Ming before the departure, the Haihan Army will try to directly crush the enemy's invasion near the Johor Strait, and it is unlikely that the battle will directly affect the Sing Tao base. However, Roger changed his mind after returning from a trip to Johor, intending to put the enemy army on Star Island and wait for a decisive battle, which sounded like a rather risky plan.

Roger replied, "That's what I plan, but I have to ask for your opinion." A decisive battle in the Strait of Johor is not impossible, but our forces are too small and the scope of control is limited, and if the enemy forces are defeated and directly bypass our positions, then all the arrangements made in advance will be in vain, and we will have to give up holding on to intercept the enemy forces. But our biggest advantage lies in positional warfare, and if we fight guerrilla warfare with our opponents in the field, the gap in strength between the two sides will be narrowed a lot. ”

Tan Juren said: "I understand what you said, but if that's the case, is there really no way to defeat the Johor army in the north of the island?"

"If we only want to defeat them, then it can be done, we can even do without the army, just send a few armed warships to the Straits of Johor to patrol day and night to serve as a deterrent. Roger changed his words and said: "But if it is only a temporary retreat, it is only a temporary solution, and it cannot dispel the ambitions of the opponent, and they will come a second or third time sooner or later." But I hope that they will be able to beat them up at once, and they will not be able to straighten up and fight us in the future! I want them to know that this place of Sing Tao has been returned to Haihan, and whoever cares about it will be unlucky!"
