"Soldiers, fellow chicken coop compatriots:

Today is our day of mourning. We are saddened by the loss of a respectable and lovely comrade. His name is Sun Yaodong.

Sun Yaodong is a heroic guard soldier who has participated in almost all wars since the founding of the Chinese nation.

In the last battle, the Baimiweng Fort garrison squadron he led became the first target attacked by the American invaders. When most of the soldiers died on the fort due to the enemy's indiscriminate bombing.

He led the remaining dozen soldiers to face more than 300 enemy attacks from the front and rear of the fort. He fought bravely for an hour and wiped out more than 100 American invaders.

At the last moment, he led the remaining soldiers to blow up the gunpowder magazine and lived and died with the fort.

At that moment, he did not miss his life, he was just thinking about how to protect our Chinese nation and complete his mission.

Sun Yaodong and more than a hundred fort garrison soldiers made the greatest contribution to us with his life, and made an indelible contribution to the Chinese nation. We will always remember his heroic name and commemorate his deeds.

He is watching us in heaven, watching our Chinese nation move towards prosperity and prosperity step by step, and watching our successors grow into more outstanding talents.

Finally, we pay a silent tribute to Sun Yaodong and the soldiers, and express our deep condolences and condolences to his family. I firmly believe that he will always live in our hearts."

This was Dong Liang's speech to the soldiers of the escort army and the common people in the chicken coop at the Baimiweng fort that had been bombed beyond recognition after the war.

This battle delayed the Americans from occupying the chicken coop and created conditions for Dong Liang's strategic intention to encircle the American army.

However, this was also the most serious casualty suffered by the Guard since its establishment.

A garrison squadron was sacrificed as an organic unit. Although it was only a second-line army, the garrison could be considered a regular army.

This is all for later.

At this time, Perry was furious on the Mississippi.

Just taking down a small fort caused the loss of half of the Marines under his command.

How not to make him angry.

How to fight the next battle?

In Jilong County, the garrison captain Qiu Ashui saw the explosion soaring into the sky from the Baimi Weng Fort in the northwest, and his heart skipped a beat.

The eyes of the seven-foot-tall man suddenly turned red.

He endured his grief without saying a word.

The officers and soldiers of the garrison standing beside him also fell silent.

He was waiting for news about the main force led by Dong Liang.

The Americans in the bay have begun to attack the Ershawan Fort.

This fort is located on the east side of Jilong Bay.

This time, Qiu Ashui sent people to let the garrison of the fort evacuate first.

Immediately afterwards, the US military came towards Jilong City.

They seemed to follow a fixed procedure, with a wave of bombings coming first every time.

Americans never seem to settle scores when fighting wars.

Fortunately, Qiu Ashui has retreated.

This time the US military landed and successfully occupied Jilong City.

They thought that when they attacked the fort, the people in the city took the opportunity to escape.

It was already evening, and Perry entered the county town with several officers and some soldiers.

They took advantage of the sunset to take a photo in front of the city gate tower.

Immediately, the Marine Corps took control of the city wall and searched the city.

After dark, Perry also transferred some sailors to the city to rest.

From Hong Kong to now, they have almost been floating on the sea, and everyone is very tired.

The battle during the day was also very fierce, and the gunners were firing at high intensity almost all the time.

Throughout the day, almost tens of thousands of artillery shells were fired.

Thirty miles south of Jilong City, Dong Liang's army has arrived at Shimen Mountain, with a total of four to five thousand troops filling the entire valley.

At this time, most of the soldiers were sitting on the roadside, eating some dry food and taking a rest.

They marched all the way in a hurry and it was really hard.

Dong Liang was determined to build a railway around the island in the future.

As night fell, Qiu Ashui and his garrison also withdrew here.

It was precisely because he received Dong Liang's order that Qiu Ashui retreated.

Their persistence in Jilong City was partly because Dong Liang's army had not arrived.

On the other hand, it was to postpone the time until night, so that after the US troops landed, they would have no time to explore further inland.

This time point must be stuck.

This is also a prerequisite for Dong Liang's plan to be implemented.

If Perry was cautious enough at this time, he should have retreated to the open sea and anchored for the night instead of staying in the harbor, let alone letting his people enter the city.

But they captured Jilong City after a whole day of fighting.

Those pirates fought so hard that they even resorted to self-destruction.

At this time, how could they think of fraud?

Moreover, the US military has always loved to enjoy themselves and is afraid of hardship, especially these regular soldiers, who are not high-ranking children who graduated from military academies.

Who wants to stay on a boat when you can go to town and have a good rest?

In the temporary camp in the valley, Dong Liang listened to Qiu Ashui's report on the day's battle.

The mood is very heavy.

"Führer, I was wrong. I should have sent troops to support them at that time." Qiu Ashui said shamefully.

"No, you did the right thing. Given the situation at that time, sending troops to support was just a tactic to add fuel to the fire." Dong Liang shook his head.

Sun Yaodong and others have sacrificed their lives, and he will not deny the sacrifices of his brothers.

The battle is over, there are not so many ifs.

What they have to do now is to eat up all the American troops.

The invincibility along the way finally made the cautious Perry relax.

In the evening, Perry and a group of officers held a celebration banquet at the Jilong County Yamen.

Although they didn't drink, they ate late.

After so many days, I can finally eat something hot.

There was also a large amount of food and supplies left in the city, which shows that these people retreated in a hurry.

The soldiers found flour and tea, which naturally had to be inspected before consumption.

They baked bread, drank tea, and ate the warm bread.

Perry and the officers discussed the next battle plan.

The soldiers discussed Eastern women together.

They all felt the gentleness of Oriental women in the brothels on Hong Kong Island.

It was past midnight, and the guards in the valley had already slept.

When it got dark, Dong Liang asked them to rest.

At this time, the Yankees in the city had just fallen asleep.

They were a little excited to capture a port city with unique conditions.

Everyone, including Perry, stayed up later than usual.

At Yanliao Bay, Guo You and Zhuo Yiqing also led the fleet to set off quietly.

On nights like this, only experienced sailors who are very familiar with the sea conditions here dare to sail.

The escort navy just meets this condition, and they are very familiar with this place.

Almost every ship has an old sailor from Jilong Port on board.

They can find their way even in the dark of night.

Jilong Port and Jilong City were both silent, not even the sound of dogs barking.

Because the dogs have been taken away by their owners to flee.

Such an environment makes it easy for people to feel peaceful and peaceful.

Of course, there is also an indescribable weirdness.

It's just that the US military after the great victory did not have such an experience.

Perry planned to send troops early tomorrow morning to look for those people who had escaped. Those people should not be far away.

Then he prepared to repair the forts outside the port and sent a fleet to continue searching for those pirate ships.

Then go south and capture the entire island step by step.

It's time to write a letter of victory to the country. It's best to ask the president to send some more troops.

Otherwise, he could only deploy sailors to protect the city.
Chapter completed!
