On the morning of 11 May, the Haihan Army set out from the two strongholds of No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, and marched from the north and south directions toward the area where the Maoli Society was located. The strength of each of these two units with two reinforced companies, together with the navy, which temporarily serves as a logistical support force, has already used more than 1,000 troops. It is no exaggeration to say that the ratio of the Haihan Army's participating strength to the population of Maoli Society this time has exceeded one to one, and it can definitely crush the opponent in terms of combat power.

In order to be safe, the temporary command also mobilized a number of pack horses to drop four small-caliber field guns that could fire grapeshot to the front line. This is due to the fact that if the natives want to stay in the tribe, they can use artillery to open the way and clear their hiding places efficiently and safely. For the Haihan Army, the lives of soldiers are far more valuable than ammunition, and one of the combat rules pursued by the commanders is to use firepower rather than troops to suppress the enemy as much as possible when there is sufficient ammunition, so as to reduce unnecessary combat casualties.

Yu Yao and Tom Wang were in charge of the troops on the North Road, while Morgan and Chen Yixin were in charge of the troops on the South Road. Four high-ranking generals commanding operations on the front line at the same time have been a rarity in foreign warfare in recent years, let alone such skirmishes against indigenous tribes. Haihan's action in the Miaoli area this time can indeed be regarded as killing chickens with a knife.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the troops of both routes had already arrived in the predetermined area, each of which was about four or five miles away from the Maoli Society, and after stopping for a short rest, the commanders gave the order to launch a general attack on the target area.

The vanguard of the North Road was the first to encounter a group of native warriors on a slope about two miles away from Maoli Society, and this team did not know whether they were going out to hunt or planning to go to Houlong Creek to guard the fleet of Haihan, and probably did not expect that the opponent would take the initiative to attack and attack their own doorstep. After a short silence, the Haihan army formation immediately changed from a column to a horizontal formation, and the vanguard of the two platoons spread out horizontally and set up a rotational firing formation.

The officers commanding the vanguard did not wait for the opponent to react further, and they were instructed to decide on their own fighters after entering the combat area, and the so-called "discretion" usually means to strike first. There are no neutrals or innocent people in this area, and the Haihan army does not have to worry about the possibility of accidental injury, whether these natives are killed or captured alive, they will have a corresponding battle merit to be taken.

As the whistle blew, the soldiers began to fire at the natives a hundred paces away, and after completing a round of firing, the commander ordered a ceasefire and observed the effect of the shooting with binoculars. There was no figure standing in the original position of the natives, and they must have either been knocked down or had already fled in the chaos. After the Haihan army maintained the formation and pressed slowly, they found that four people were killed on the spot, and several people were shot in their bodies and lost the ability to escape, and they were also quickly replenished at the moment - like this kind of natives who were seriously wounded by gunshot wounds, Haihan did not want to waste resources to treat them, and there was no difference between the living and dead natives in the calculation of military merits, but the dead were better dealt with.

"It's fire!" Tom Wang also heard the gunshots coming from in front of him, which made his emotions a little excited. Although the opponent's strength is not strong, but the sparrow is also meat, for Wang Tom, who has not performed a combat mission for more than half a year, he made a special trip to Miaoli to supervise the battle, in fact, he also wants to relive the feeling on the battlefield, so that he can better enter the state before going to the north to perform the mission.

This small group of natives was almost immediately defeated, and apart from consuming a little ammunition, it did not cause any trouble to the Haihan army. Soon the troops regrouped and continued their march towards the Maoli Society.

As the biggest obstacle for Haihan to enter Miaoli, Maoli Society does not rely on how powerful their weapons are, or what natural dangers are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but simply because Haihan was busy transporting materials and personnel into the mountains a few days ago, and he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this group of troublemakers. Now that the materials and personnel of the hope oil field are basically in place, and the reinforcements have also arrived from Sanya, there are no objective conditions to save Maoli Society. And this time, Haihan was determined to completely destroy this tribe, so there was no room for any action.

It was not until the troops of the Northern Route marched to a distance of about 100 meters from Maoli that they encountered a second wave of resistance from the indigenous forces. Hundreds of native warriors hid behind makeshift bunkers made of wood and stone, trying to resist the Haihan army's onslaught with this primitive fortification. But it is a pity that the weapons in their hands are only bows and arrows made of bamboo and wood, and the Haihan army stopped outside the range of their weapons and began to assemble field artillery in a hurry.

This light field gun used by the army was first equipped with special operations battalions that are good at mountain warfare, and after several years of practical use, it has been continuously improved to produce the current mass production version. This kind of field artillery is composed of two parts, the barrel and the gun carriage, the overall weight is less than 200 catties, after dismantling can be quickly carried by manpower or animal power, and it can also be equipped with a matching wheeled frame when it has better traffic conditions, so that its mobility can be further improved.

There are also two types of shells used in light field artillery, one is a three-pound solid shell, which is suitable for attacking and destroying enemy bunkers, and the other is a grapeball shell that has been encapsulated, which has a large killing surface and is suitable for clearing denser enemies. At present, some light ships of the Navy have also begun to be equipped with this modification of artillery, although its power is not enough to shoot through the side board of a large ship, but firing grapeshothulars at a distance of 100 meters can quickly sweep the opponent's deck like a storm. Because of its small gun body, it is very convenient to move and turn the direction on the deck where every inch of land is at a premium, and the gunner required is also reduced to two to three people.

If you have to find fault with this thing, it's probably the inevitable hassle of loading ammunition for breech guns. However, at present, there are already stereotyped breech guns in the Haihan Army, but because of the cost and production capacity, it is not possible to equip a large area with new artillery for the time being, and the existing artillery is fully capable of the current combat mission in terms of performance, so the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Defense are not too keen on updating this kind of equipment.

Perhaps because the northern route troops were marching a little faster, which attracted the attention of the natives, the southern route army did not encounter any resistance on the way, and almost arrived at the slope south of Maoli Society when the natives were almost unprepared.
