Chapter 313: The Great Parade Storm
The battle on Dicui Island lasted until dawn, when it gradually subsided.
This wonderful night has finally come to an end.
On this night, the Chaguang Army dispatched 45,000 troops, almost completely annihilating the 120,000 troops of Dicui Island.
The navy was destroyed, the air force was destroyed, and most of the army was annihilated.
The number of killed and killed in the multinational force on Dicui Island reached more than 60,000, and the number of wounded soldiers and prisoners was also 30,000.
There are still more than 20,000 people left, who fled at the last moment, and they scattered into the folk of Dicui Island, and it was not easy to find them for a while.
The Lightchasers entered the island in full swing and quickly took control of a number of strategic points.
For example, the headquarters of the Joint Enforcement Agency, television stations, airports, docks, etc.
Although the fighting of the regular army ended, the situation on the island did not stabilize.
At this time, on the Sanjiang side, Jones had already announced on television that he had established a government-in-exile on Dicui Island in Sanjiang Base City in Dayan Kingdom, and he called on the people of Magnolia to unite, and the people of Dicui Island to unite against the illegal occupation of Dicui Island by the Light Chasers.
Jones was not the only ambassador who fled to Sanjiang, and some ambassadors also fled to Sanjiang through various channels in the chaos of last night.
With the support of Chen Hongchang, they also began to make speeches on television, encouraging their people to stand up and fight Tang Zheng and the Chasing Light Army to the end.
They also called on the soldiers who were displaced by the people to also be armed, take advantage of the geographical advantages on the island, and fight guerrilla warfare on the island with the light chasing army.
And among the soldiers who were defeated and fled last night, some people did respond to the call and secretly began to stir up the storm.
After all, in the eyes of the people on this island, this Dicui Island is theirs, and now Tang Zheng is an intruder, and they are on the side of justice at this time.
Encouraged by this frenzy, many people joined in.
Last night's actions made some foreigners more dissatisfied, such as the eviction of people from the villa area, and the blowing up of four buildings in order to buy time for the defense forces, which were the reasons for their dissatisfaction.
This morning, when the Lightchasers took over the islands, some foreigners gathered and tried to hold demonstrations against the tyranny of the Lightchasers.
They gathered in the streets and began to smash shops, burn vehicles, and make flags for the Light Chasers and burn them.
There were even attempts to attack the Light Chasers, throwing stones, smoke grenades and Molotov cocktails at the troops.
In this place where guns are not banned, there are also many people who own guns, and many people even try to shoot black guns against the light chasers.
Some of them used guns, even military guns.
These guns are the remnants of the multinational force from Dicui Island, after all, they have been entrenched here for nearly a year, and the roots are deep, and they cannot be completely eradicated all at once.
Soon, this wave of demonstrations began to spread throughout the island.
Dozens of processions appeared in various parts of the island, and they were frantically carrying out sabotage, which was familiar to them.
Because before the end of the world, in their country, they often marched, rioted at the slightest dissatisfaction, and constantly confronted the military and police, and there were even examples of victories.
It is not without precedent that some demonstrations and riots will even overthrow state power to the end.
And for this situation, their army is often helpless, because this kind of activity is watched by the whole country, and the army is also the people of this country, and they will not deal too much with the marching crowd.
Therefore, in their opinion, at this moment, the Chasing Light Army, as an occupying force, must focus on appeasing people's hearts.
After all, after the end of the world, everyone has figured out a truth, that is, during this time period, the most valuable resource is people.
The population is already very scarce, and those powerful warlords, as well as those emperors who founded the country, all want to have more people under their command.
I believe that Tang Zheng is no exception.
For a time, the crowd of demonstrators spread all over the island, and it was quite intense.
And some media at home and abroad also reported on this matter frantically.
In their mouths, last night's attack by the Light Chasers was recognized as a barbaric invasion.
And now the storm of the march is the rebellion of the righteous people.
Many media have decided that the Light Chasers will not be able to gain a foothold in this storm of resistance, and they will roll out of Dicui Island in discreet without the support of the people, and they will return to where they came from.
In this storm, many people on Han Yue's side also expressed their positions.
Chen Hongchang took the lead in saying that the invasion of Dicui Island by the Chasing Light Army was an invasion and lacked a moral position, and he demanded that the Chasing Light Army must immediately withdraw its troops and return to the Chasing Light City, otherwise Dayan would declare war on the Chasing Light Army, and all the consequences arising in the future would be borne by the Chasing Light Army.
After Chen Hongchang made his statement, Tian Mingfei also made a televised speech.
He announced that the upper reaches of the Haojiang River would be immediately blocked, no ships would be allowed to enter the waters around Dicui Island, and all commercial transactions would be stopped.
Dicui Island is an isolated island, surrounded by water, now the river bridge is blown up, land transportation is interrupted, if the water trade is interrupted again, then there will be no foreign materials here, this behavior can be called cut off, extremely vicious.
In addition, in the southeast, some newly established countries condemned Tang Zheng's actions and demanded that he immediately withdraw from Dicui Island, which was not part of his sphere of influence.
Some foreign media also spoke, saying that they would send troops to rescue the people who were oppressed by the Chaser Army on Dicui Island, and hoped that the people would actively resist and work together to drive the Chaser Army back to their hometowns.
In this process, only Li Wuwu of Yuanjing expressed her support for Tang Zheng, claiming that Dicui Island was originally the land of Hanyue, and it was not Tang Zheng who should really get out, but those foreigners who occupied the magpie's nest.
She will firmly stand on Tang Zheng's side, always support him, and hope that those who illegally declared independence in Hanyue can recognize their origins, don't forget their skin color, and don't become traitors spurned by thousands of people because of some interest issues.
But her voice alone is still a little too weak, and even the TV stations in many places have temporarily cut off the signal from Yuanjing, otherwise the people will see Li Wuwu's picture and hear her voice.
A combination of factors led to the intensification of the march.
At this time, everyone believed that Tang Zheng would compromise.
Even if he won't stop there, he must show considerable sincerity and first appease the people on the island, and stabilizing the situation is the first element.
As the leader of any force, I am afraid that there is only one way to go.
Because the pressure he is facing is too great, the resistance on the island, the appeal of the original forces, the declaration of war by the surrounding countries, and the threat of dozens of countries outside the country, who can withstand this?
But everyone didn't expect that Tang Zheng had no intention of backing down on this matter.
Tang Zheng didn't pay any attention to those pressures at home and abroad.
The inherent power of Dicui Island has been defeated, and they have nothing but a mouth.
As for the emperors like Chen Hongchang and Tian Mingfei, if they dared to use force, they could start last night, instead of giving some warnings here now.
Tang Zheng didn't care about those forces outside the country, he was already at odds with them when he attacked Dicui Island, and now he won't consider their opinions.
He gave orders directly to the troops to strike at the crowds of demonstrators.
What is most needed at this moment is not Huairou, but the shock of iron and blood.
Tang Zheng wanted them to understand that this was not their country, their territory, this was the place of the Hanyue people, and now it was the place of the Chasing Light Army.
If you want to live here, you have to follow their rules, and these demonstrations will not work here.
The soldiers grabbed their guns, drove their vehicles, and began to take to the streets.
When the Light Chasers appeared, the demonstrators attacked them.
Stones, Molotov cocktails, petrol-stained clothes, or cotton and linen products were thrown at the Light Chasers.
The frenzied crowd roared wantonly, shouting slogans of freedom and shouting that the Light Chasers should roll out of Dicui Island, and launched an assault in a frenzied atmosphere.
There were even people who were still holding guns in the dark, waiting for the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army to get out of the car, and then put black guns in the dark.
Based on their previous experience, the Light Chasers should line up at this point, hold their shields against their onslaught, and then fight back with tear gas, smoke grenades, or water cannons.
The people in the front row may also arrest some people, but they don't care, they fight for justice and freedom, and they have a solid backing.
But the outcome of the matter is completely different from what they imagined.
In the face of their onslaught and attacks, the Light Chasers did not get out of the car at all.
This time, all those who came out to enforce the law were armored vehicles.
The machine guns on the armored car had been erected, and they thought it was a display to scare people, but it wasn't at all.
Faced with the onslaught of the crowd, the armored car was activated.
The heavy machine guns on the roofs of the cars began to shoot wildly at the dense crowd!
In the face of these thugs, the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army showed no mercy, as if they were dealing with a multinational force, and the merciless bullets rained down!
In an instant, the crowd of marchers was beaten dumb!
In the face of the roaring torrent of metal, they had no ability to resist at all, and countless people were beaten into a sieve in an instant!
Wherever the bullets passed, human tissues were flying all over the sky, and it was much easier to attack the crowd than to attack the zombies.
The crowd, which had just been organized, collapsed all at once.
Some of them may be soldiers, but they are only a minority.
Some people may be some gang members with ulterior motives, but that's not too many.
More people are some disgruntled ordinary people, where do they have any combat effectiveness to speak of.
No one would have thought that Tang Zheng would play his cards so unconventionally and use troops to directly slaughter him.
The heavy machine guns shot mercilessly, and they were treated like zombies.
The vigorous march was directly and ruthlessly suppressed.
The collapsed crowd scattered and fled, and no one's agitation had any effect at the moment.
Mom! Those light chasers are barbarians, and I want to go home!
