Chapter 214 Texas, the Warrior State! (Please subscribe, please vote)

October 18, the eighth year of Taiping, Empire of Mexico, Texas, Pirate Bay.

Yamato Floating Hotel and Musashi Floating Hotel rolled up snow-white waves and slowly sailed into a bay guarded by an elongated island and an equally elongated sandbar. Even if you don’t understand the terrain here at all,

From the perspective of the navy, it is also an excellent place to establish a naval base. The islands and sandbars at the entrance of the bay are like two gates, blocking the originally wide entrance of the bay until only an entrance is three or four kilometers wide.

Inside the entrance, it is not a vast area, but there is another small island hidden there - this island is simply a natural fort. Due to the obstruction of the slender island and sandbar, foreign ships can hardly enter the sea before entering overseas.

Discover its existence. But as soon as you enter the bay, you will bump into the island again, as if the island is a samurai ambushing in the harbor.

Between this hidden island and the slender island, there is a slender strait, which is naturally sheltered from the wind and has good water depth. It has long been spotted by the pirates of the Caribbean and opened up as a pirate port. The pirates

This is where the name of the bay comes from.

Of course, the pirates entrenched here were eliminated by the US Navy a few years ago, leaving only a legend about the treasure of the great pirate Jean Lafitte.

The "Express Fleet" led by Zhuge Weidao bypassed the entire South America and rushed here after thousands of miles. It was already deserted before they saw it, leaving only the devastated pirate port and the empty fine bay.

However, he was still very vigilant and sent a destroyer to enter the Pirate Bay first and make a circle to confirm that there were really no pirates inside. Then he left the Hero and boarded the Yamato Floating Hotel and entered the Pirate Bay together.

Besides the Musashi, the only other destroyer that entered the bay with the Yamato was the destroyer.

The three ships filed into the Pirate Bay. The decks of the Yamato and the Musashi were still covered with Japanese immigrants who were preparing to settle here. These short Japanese devils were both male and female. Among them, the man

Most of them were dressed as ronin, carrying a sword on their waist. The samurai revolver was an 11.5mm large-caliber revolver. It was originally a sidearm of the Ming Dynasty cavalry. Later, when the cavalry were equipped with mounted rifles, they used these large-caliber pistols.

They were eliminated. Now the Army Intelligence Agency responsible for the "Texas Warrior Project" dug out these old guns from the warehouse and issued them to the "Texas Warrior".

Of course, in addition to tachi, ribs, and samurai revolvers, the Army Intelligence Bureau of the Ming Dynasty also generously provided rifles, machine guns, mortars and 75mm infantry for these samurai immigrants who had drifted for more than 30,000 kilometers at sea.

Guns. There is also a 155mm shore defense cannon!

The Army Intelligence Bureau of the Ming Dynasty gave these Texas warriors so many good things. It’s not that they were particularly generous, but it was really not easy to send some people over! It took half the world to send them to less than 2,000 families (all of them were dragsters)

With mouths), there were only more than 600 able-bodied warriors among them, and they could only be organized into a combined battalion. This combined battalion included an infantry company, an artillery company, a cavalry company, an engineer company, and a battalion company.

There are only so many people, so of course we can't save equipment. Otherwise, if we finally send some people over and let the Americans take care of everything, we'll be at a huge loss.

The commander of this samurai combined battalion is Saigo, the new northern samurai recruited by Emperor Shizuko. The samurai under him are basically the original officers and soldiers of the Satsuma Domain. Because the Satsuma Domain was withdrawn, they lost their jobs and had to go to Saigo.

Here we are back on duty. The company commanders of the five companies below are all very anti-American when they read the Chinese character "Miao". They are Yamamoto, Koga, Nagumo, Ozawa, and Yamaguchi!

Zhuge Weidao and Guo Xiaobao were now standing on the deck of the Yamato with the six Japanese soldiers, Saigo, Yamamoto, Koga, Nagumo, Ozawa, and Yamaguchi, holding up telescopes to examine the surrounding terrain.

"This terrain is really great." Guo Xiaobao, who had just graduated from the Naval Staff College, put down his telescope, turned to the kid next to him and said, "Yamamoto, your artillery job?"

"Yes, I am an artilleryman!" This Yamamoto was the one who followed Saigo in the air battle that day, but he was also an artilleryman and he spoke fluent Chinese.

"Yao Xi!" Guo Xiaobao recently took a Japanese concubine and learned some Japanese, so he said it in a mixed manner to appear more friendly, "Yours, put the cannon on that small island, that island is called

Battery Island. Your two 155mm guns must be well hidden and cannot be exposed easily. When the enemy breaks into the bay, give them a few hard hits! The battleship cannot be hit, but if it is a destroyer, maybe it will

Dry and heavy.

The mortar position is placed on the long snake-like island. Let's call that island Long Snake Island! If the Americans force their way into the bay and suffer losses, they will definitely land on Long Snake Island and set up artillery observation positions on the island.

When they land, use mortars and machine guns to hit them! Remember to dig more trenches, gun emplacements, tunnels, etc. Don't be lazy, so that you can fire one to change places when the time comes.

There are also 75mm infantry artillery batteries placed on the mainland. That’s where you can build a fort, let’s call it Samurai Fort. Samurai Fort can be used as a stronghold for immigrants, but it must be built stronger! Because there are sometimes storms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane, the fortress will collapse if it is not strong! The 75 cannon is placed in the fort, firstly to defend the fort, and secondly to facilitate the dispatch of troops. Although this is the territory of the Mexican Empire, the nearby Indians don’t know Emperor Agustin. You guys

To gain a firm foothold, war is inevitable.

The trenches, trenches, and communication ditches outside the fortress have all been dug, and the wire fences have been pulled up early so that you won't be overwhelmed when things happen. There are only a few of you, so you can only work hard on weekdays and maximize the soil work. Only then can we

Maybe it can be defended in time of war."

It has to be said that Guo Xiaobao's professional level is still acceptable. His deployment has combined the power of a battalion with only 2 155mm cannons, 2 75mm infantry guns and 4 80mm mortars.

, to the maximum extent. Even if the old American doesn’t come, she will definitely suffer a loss if she does.

However, Guo Xiaobao did not finish his words and still left room for Zhuge Weidao to give some advice. He also asked with a smile: "General, do you have anything to add?"

Zhuge Weidao is now a rear admiral!

What a promising future!

Hearing Guo Xiaobao's words, he nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the narrow strait between Changshe Island and Fortress Island: "This is a very suitable place for setting up an ambush. I'll get you some torpedo speedboats later, and maybe I can take down some big guy!"

In addition, pay attention to the sky. The Americans will definitely equip airships soon. Although you are equipped with anti-aircraft guns, the camouflage and concealment on the ground must be in place. If you can't see it from above, you will naturally not be able to shoot. You should also use it in normal times.

Pay attention to keeping it secret and don’t expose it. By the way, make some fake targets on the ground to fool people.”

After all, he is Zhuge's military advisor! This level is really high!

What Zhuge Weidao talked about was all about things, especially the experience of air defense. Military enthusiasts in later generations all know it, but it was the first time for those Japanese devils to hear it. They all nodded in admiration and said "Hai".

.

Zhuge Weidao then said to Xixiang: "Xixiang Lord, you don't have much time left. The Americans are likely to attack Texas within a few years. Even if we go all out to transport people to Texas, we may not be able to

It's just tens of thousands of families and the establishment of a division. If the Americans go all out, not to mention a million troops, they can still get 100,000 or 80,000. So you must call it the Pirate Bay, or change its name to Samurai

Bay, you must build Warrior Bay into the strongest stronghold! The forts, military ports, oil depots, coal depots, and granaries must be as complete as possible. If you defend it on land, we can make great achievements at sea!"
