Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Most Fierce Brother
The captives were quickly recaptured, and Chen Laohu personally received the captives.
And warmly invited them to eat Daming's canned food and grilled fish, and also found French bread sticks.
No one in the Ming likes to eat it, but the captives do.
Looking at the appearance of a few old black gobbling up, even licking the canned food box with their tongues, which was cleaner than the dogs that the dogs ate, Chen Laohu knew that the French side was not having a good time.
It was blocked by the Ming destroyers for two or three months, and the supply could only rely on some small fishing boats, or small cargo ships that sneaked up on the island.
Don't say that the big ship can't come to Corsica, as soon as it leaves the port of Marseille, it will be captured by the Ming Dynasty.
Then, the ship is Da Ming's. The crew put it back, and the ship and its contents had nothing to do with France.
These French breadsticks were the stuff of a captured ship, because no one ate them and many of them spoiled.
But Lao Hei didn't seem to dislike it at all, and several of them rolled their eyes and almost died.
Finished eating, finished drinking. Packing and taking away a bag of French bread sticks, the old blacks happily went to complete the task given to them by Chen Laohu.
You are messengers of peace, and may you bring peace to Corsica.
This is what Chen Laohu expected from them before leaving.
I don't know if Lao Hei understands it, anyway, one by one they are stupid at Chen Laohu with big white teeth.
This made Chen Laohu full of confidence in them, foreign mercenaries are just foreign mercenaries, why fight for the life and death of the French.
The peacemakers left at noon, and were sent back at dusk by a dozen trembling and almost frightened locals.
Broke it up and sent it back!
A few of them are too broken, and a few more knives can be used as dumpling filling.
Being able to cut people into such pieces in such a short period of time seems to be to show the resoluteness of the will of the Foreign Legion to resist.
Chen Laohu's face was ugly, which he definitely didn't expect.
It's just a bunch of mercenaries, what kind of life are you fighting for......!
Li Xiu knew the news, but just nodded and didn't speak.
"Second master, we gave you the opportunity. These ...... who give shame to their faces! ”
"Let's fight!
Actually, I didn't think they would be able to surrender.
In the Foreign Legion, the soldiers are mercenaries from various countries. But the officers, mostly French.
And there are many of them, officers who have fought and experienced war.
In this day's time, we have already landed two Marine Corps.
Relying on these two Marine Corps and taking the port of Tavignano, our goal will be achieved. ”
"This day, we are increasing our troops. The French on the other side must be also increasing their troops, let's just two regiments.
The number of troops is ......! "After all, the foreign legion on Corsica claims to have 100,000 people.
But no one knows the real number, if you desperately fight the Ming army. Street fighting, it will be a nightmare battle.
After all, the battle reports from Tsaritsyn were too scary.
With an average of one or two thousand casualties per day, when did the Ming army fight such a battle.
In the past, under the command of the big marshal, the big guys fought crushing downwind battles and skillful battles.
The size of the Marine Corps itself is somewhat smaller than that of the Army. There is also no heavy equipment like the army, and there is no artillery company at the battalion level.
Even the first level, there were only three 60-mm mortars.
Even in the company, there is only one grenadier squad.
And not like in the army, where each platoon has a grenadier squad.
Because of the equipment, the Marine Corps and the Army are more than one grade behind each other in terms of firepower.
After all, the combat mode of the Marine Corps is quite different from that of the Army.
If it really falls into a place like Tsaritsyn, let alone thousands of casualties a day. Even with a few hundred casualties a day, the Marine Corps would not last a week.
"No, it won't! Tsaritsyn is a large city with a population of 600,000, and Tavignano is a small city with a population of tens of thousands.
In our eastern Liaoning, many towns have more populations than here.
Besides, we just need the port of Tavignano.
As for the rest of the parts, it doesn't matter if you have it or not.
Explode!
It's all blown up!
Send them an ultimatum and say that in the spirit of humanitarian mercy, we will order the inhabitants of the city to retreat quickly.
Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning we will launch an assault on the city of Tavignano. ”
"Second master! This ......, you don't need it.
It's all French, and if it's blown up, it's blown up. Your ......"
Chen Laohu was a little confused, why did the second master suddenly become merciful?
Not only do you want the other side to evacuate, but you also have to tell the other side the time to attack.
It has reached this point of integrity, and no one in the Liao army has ever done it.
I heard that when I fought Salhu in the past, the Ming army did this.
Everyone knows the end, fiasco! A solid fiasco!
"It's useless to kill so many people, and it's not bad to keep tens of thousands of more people who consume food.
After we took Sicily three months ago, we began to blockade the Corsican coast.
It's been three months, and they don't get much supplies.
Even if there was some inventory in the past, it was empty.
I don't believe they can store enough food for a few years.
Isn't there a war of attrition? Then Lao Tzu fought with them, and if he did not surrender, Lao Tzu starved all the people of Corsica to death.
Food is the best weapon.
Hunger kills people more effectively than guns. ”
Chen Laohu shuddered, this kind of thing Dashuai also said.
is worthy of crawling out of a mother's intestines, if you really want to be ruthless, these two brothers are definitely the best.
I really feel sorry for the people of Corsica, because of the refusal to surrender, hundreds of thousands of people will survive in the end, I really don't know how many more.
Anyway, there will be many, very many people who will die.
It looks like the sharks in the sea have something to eat again.
"Make crabs at night! Big crabs. Out of Li Xiu's command room, everyone didn't expect Chen Laohu to give such an order.
"Deputy Commander, this ......!" The officers didn't understand that they had to eat crabs at night for Mao.
As a navy, the seafood in the sea has long been tired of eating.
Not to mention crabs, the lobster and abalone that are sold in the capital are so expensive that they all eat to the point where they want to vomit when they look at them.
In the navy, roasting whole sheep is the highest courtesy to entertain guests.
"In a few days, the things of the sea will eat the dead, and see how you can eat them."
“……!” Everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring.
Experienced officers immediately understood what was going on!
"Inform the blockade fleet to sink all ships close to Corsica.
Note!
It's all boats, including fishing boats and even small sampans.
What floats on the surface of this sea area can only be the ship of the Ming Dynasty.
Got it? ”
This is the so-called piece of sail not to go to sea!
This is to take the blockade to the extreme!
"No!"
Now, everyone knows what kind of war is coming.
Thankfully, there are a few captives left behind from the last capture!
This time, the messenger of peace brought a letter to the commander of the Tavignano garrison.
Seeing the words of the French in the song, Chen Laohu was annoyed.
Looking at it, it is still our Daming's text that is the most pleasing to the eye and the most comfortable.
I don't know what the fate of the peace messengers is, anyway, I believe that Lao Tzu is delivered.
The next morning, the sun rose at sea level as usual.
Faintly, you can even see the distant Italian coast.
The marines, having already landed, began to move along the beach towards the city of Tavignano.
Li Xiu sat in the command room, sitting on a chair, as if he was about to watch a play that was about to open.
In the armies of other countries, generals of the same level as Li Xiu and Li Xiao rarely go to the battlefield.
The battle plan has been formulated, and the Ming army will turn like a machine.
However, Li Xiao and Li Xiu seem to have a special love for war.
If it weren't for their identity, it is estimated that both brothers would be able to rush to the front line of the war.
Light a cigar and slowly use the cigar tongs to start cutting the cigar bubble.
The Ming army is really like a machine, nine o'clock, not a minute or a second.
When the hands of the clock pointed to the hour, the arsenal ship suddenly burst into a huge cloud of smoke.
Rocket after rocket, as if it were yesterday, with a long tail flame flying towards the city of Tavignano.
