After all, the fleet was still in chaos, the two ships collided together, but the reason was because the first ship hit the rock, Luo Zifang could clearly see that the first ship was gradually tilted, and it was obvious that the sea water poured into the lower cabin, which was still a few miles away from the coast, and in this climate, the soldiers were sunk and had little hope of survival. Pen "Fun" www.biquge.info The second ship was even more unlucky, because it did not find out the condition of the first ship in time, it still moved straight forward, and it was not until it was close to the front that it was not right, but at this time it seemed that it was too late, whether it was turning the rudder or retracting the sails, everything was to no avail, the second ship crashed into the first ship without hindrance, and immediately hit the first ship, which was already a little unbearable, and the second ship also ran into the reef when it was in close contact with the first ship, and the turbulent sea water squeezed into the crack at the bottom of the ship almost at once, and more than 300 soldiers almost all fell into the water。

Luo Zifang clenched his fists, and he could only watch the tragedy happen in front of him. At this time, you can only use the waterproof lantern that is not easy to find close to salvage and rescue the soldiers who have fallen into the water, but when the surrounding ships are close to the rescue, at least more than seventy percent of the soldiers have been buried at the bottom of the sea, thick cotton jackets and tightly bound leather armor is the source of death, once it falls into the water, the cotton jacket that absorbs enough water is almost heavier than the iron armor, and the soldiers who do not know the water surname in this case do not even have a chance to call for help and sink to the bottom of the sea, and most of the lucky ones who are left are those who know the water surname or the guy who is flexible enough, with the help of everything that can float on the ship, take off the things that can be discarded in a few times, the only way to make them struggle until the arrival of the rescue ships around them.

Luo Zifang has no time to feel heartache for such a tragedy, if he can't seize the time to enter the safe waters and land in time, I'm afraid that only others will come to read the eulogy for him. Just such a rescue was delayed for nearly an hour, and at this time, time was almost the key to deciding the entire battle situation. Ordered all the ships to move forward, the small boat in front had sent back a signal, everything was safe, according to the plan, delaying time was a waste of life, wasting everyone's lives, Luo Zifang didn't want to become the first general of Western Xinjiang to die in the land of Doton.

The receivers lurking between the reefs were already anxious, the fleet that was supposed to land still failed to land, a large number of ships were stumbling and swaying there, this is not a good landing place, but the suitable places for landing are the key patrol areas of the Dodons, and if you want to avoid the Dodon patrols, you can only take a risk in this regard.

As the first ship finally succeeded in docking, the subsequent ships also approached step by step, and dozens of ships were huddled together in layers, and it only took a single fire to burn these thousands of people. Luo Zifang can't help but admit that he has taken some risks this time, no matter what he imagined before the war, but when he really enters, you will find that the previous preparation and arrangement are far from enough, there will always be many accidents, and these accidents are almost all unfavorable factors.

When the first step stepped on the hard reef, Luo Zifang took a solid breath, as the ship got closer, one by one the transverse planks were quickly laid between the ships, the soldiers quickly gathered under the orders of the officers and divided into a team to land along the transom from far to near, to this step, the soldiers seemed to have smelled the taste of victory, everything seemed to be in order, the fleet was like a huge throughput machine, constantly spit out the soldiers from the boats, and the group of soldiers gathered on the shore also continued to expand, and then became two, three。

The majestic Hailan Fortress is like a horizontal lying between the two cracks of Chaziling, the fortress is built according to the mountain, it is semi-trapezoidal, there is still a disparity of about eight meters in height between the main city and the outer city, from south to north, if you want to cross the outer city and enter the main city, you must not only face the attack of the crossbowmen and various defensive weapons on the outer city, but also face the attack of the giant catapult high at the top, in this case, although you dare not say that you are not open, but it is almost impossible to really break through the Hailan Fortress from the front without paying several times the price.

However, the Western Assault Army that landed on the Serpentine Core Cape successfully avoided this moat, and the Hailan Fortress lost its main function as a fortress by sea, from north to south, the main city of the Hailan Fortress was almost built between two ridges, but the south was extremely steep, and the north was relatively gentle. Drilling into the deep hills along the snake core cape, although the dark night caused operational difficulties for the Western Xinjiang Assault Army, it also brought great cover to the entire assault group.

The Dodons apparently ignored this section of the area at the foot of their fortress, which they considered not only to be complicated by sea conditions, but also to the lack of suitable landing sites, and the disagreement among the army over where the main direction of the attack of the Western Frontier Army was, which weakened the army's vigilance in this regard. More people are inclined to the fact that the Western Xinjiang Army will launch a large-scale offensive in the Kuts area, especially the frequent movements and exercises of the absolute main force of the Western Xinjiang First Army in the Kuts border area have made the Duotun people tremble, and the intelligence department learned that the Western Xinjiang Rangers have also poured into the territory of Yanshan Province from Yunzhong Province on a large scale, directly approaching the Kuts area, which has further strengthened the suspicion of many powerful generals of the Duoton Army that the Western Xinjiang Army will break through in the middle of the Kuts.

As for Crawford's warnings and reasons, they were more regarded as a kind of good-natured ridicule to inform the military departments, and no one believed Crawford's argument that the people of the West valued sea power more and needed a good port, which sounded a bit illusory, and in their opinion, the heavy troops of the West Xinjiang placed opposite the Kuts region were the most realistic threat, and as for Okhotsk, the people of the West would really be interested? Many officers even ridiculed that even if the Okhotsk defense line was opened, it would not necessarily make the Western Frontier Army change its intentions and attack the Okhotsk region.

Of course, this kind of warning is not without a little effect, at least the garrison stationed in the Hailan Fortress still shows respect, but this warning seems to have the opposite effect, in order to strengthen the patrol and control, the Hailan Fortress garrison even drew two thousand people to the port of Okhotsk to station, strengthen the patrol of the adjacent areas around the port of Okhotsk, which seems to be a good thing, but objectively weakens the defense force of the Helland fortress itself.

Luo Zifang suppressed the excitement in his heart and quietly lurked in the withered grass, with a tall fortress wall on his head, the city wall was made of basalt stone unique to this area, which was quite smooth, but it was not an insurmountable obstacle for the assault army, the biggest obstacle had been solved, that is, the difficult landing and navigation, and now it was time for the harvest season.

How lovely the cold soil is to Luo Zifang, smelling the smell of the earth under him, inserting his fingers into the dirt and rubbing it carefully, Luo Zifang even feels that this is a kind of enjoyment, waiting before victory is like waiting for a medal after winning a medal is the most satisfying, even more spiritual pleasure than victory itself.

Dozens of assault soldiers jumped to their feet almost instantaneously, and after a long wait, the observation post finally turned out the lights that the patrol on the city wall had passed, and according to the intelligence services, it would be at least an hour before a second patrol passed by, and an hour was enough to accomplish many things.

Dozens of grappling hooks suddenly shook in the air and rose rapidly, lightly attached to the battlements of the city wall, and the grappling hooks that were wrapped in sheepskin for the rest of the force grasped the hard and smooth rock without making any sound, and dozens of selected soldiers immediately swooped up on the wall like apes, and in just a few minutes, the first wave of soldiers had completed the climbing task, and the second wave of soldiers also began to climb up violently.

When the first wave of soldiers successfully arrived on the city wall safely, Luo Zifang knew that he had completed more than half of his task this time, these soldiers were all good hands who had followed him for many years, whether it was battlefield struggle or individual killing, Luo Zifang's self-confidence was not inferior to those sniper units of the old Western Xinjiang Army, the sniper unit of the Eighth Legion had not yet been formed due to time reasons, but Luo Zifang did not think that his sons were much worse than the sniper units of other legions. It is said that the Military Affairs Administration intends to conduct a big competition of sniper units in each legion, and the competition is a variety of special skills of sniper troops that are different from ordinary armies.

Fifteen minutes passed, and three groups of soldiers had successfully climbed the city wall, and according to the information and maps transmitted by the intelligence department, some of them quickly controlled all the key points of the north gate of the fortress, and only waited for the commander's order to carry out the battle of seizing the gate according to the plan, while others infiltrated the central area of the fortress to create chaos, disrupt the audio-visual, and cover up the real movements of the assault army, and some lay in ambush at the intersection where the garrison must pass, preparing to snipe and kill the leading officer once the garrison discovered the action, so as to delay the efficiency of the enemy's action.

But the most important thing is to take the city gate as quickly as possible, as long as the city gate is taken, the assault group lying in ambush two miles away will be surging, and at that time, even if the Dodonians in the fortress find out that the situation is not right, they will not be able to make the necessary response in a short time, and at this time, almost every minute can change the whole situation.
