On March 24th, the sun was shining brightly on the sea off the Honolulu Islands. The deck of the Dadong was filled with fully armed soldiers. These soldiers were uniformly dressed. They each had a rifle on their shoulders. They looked very cool.
These guns were not taken from the logistics department of the Peking Army. They were produced by a small gun processing factory specially set up on the Xiaodong. This gun processing factory is equipped with several state-of-the-art machine tools. There are also ten There are more than 10 skilled craftsmen. These people work together to produce and assemble fifty guns every day.
During Wan Lei's stay in Xiaoliuqiu, they produced thousands of guns. During the voyage, they produced nearly a thousand more guns, enough to equip an army of two thousand people. Of course, the guns were self-produced, as were the bullets. It's just that the ammunition was ordered by Wan Lei in his capacity as president many years ago. There are more than ten tons of ammunition. It is enough to last for a long time.
There are ships, artillery, guns, ammunition, and an army that has been trained for nearly five years. It can be said that Wan Lei is a warlord. With the current military strength, he does not take the natives of the Honolulu Islands seriously. . Now he wants to use these natives to train his troops. After all, the army he has has not been tempered by actual combat.
In fact, Wan Lei does not only have an army of 2,000 people. Almost all of the more than 6,000 people accompanying him are soldiers. Only more than 1,400 people are non-military personnel. The remaining 5,000 young people, both male and female, have undergone military training. As long as they are equipped with weapons, they will be a powerful force.
The so-called skill of sharpening the sword and chopping firewood before arriving at Dadongzhou. Wan Lei had to hone his army well. He named the pioneer and colonist army he led as the Qinglong Army. The military flag has a green dragon on it. But the Qinglong does not It's just a Chinese spiritual beast. It also represents the East. It's named after this. It means that this army will forever control the East and the Great East.
The Qinglong Army has 5,000 soldiers and is divided into five battalions. Each battalion is named after benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust. Different from the Peiping Army, each battalion of the Qinglong Army is mixed with men and women. There is no gender discrimination in the Qinglong Army. Promotions are based solely on ability and military merit. There are even female generals. However, regardless of whether they are male soldiers or female generals, they are only loyal to Wan Lei.
On this day, the Blue Dragon Army sent two battalions to prepare to attack a large island at the northernmost tip of the Honolulu Islands for actual combat training. After prior reconnaissance, it was found that there were about 40,000 indigenous people on the island named Kauai. These indigenous people worship birds. .It is still in the period of tribal society. It is very primitive and backward. It cannot even produce iron tools.
Don't forget that these natives are lagging behind. They are very warlike. When the warships appeared, they actively prepared for war. They even sent out small boats to attack several times. However, the Xiaodong was repulsed like cockroaches. And Kauai has high mountains on the island. There are canyons and dense virgin forests. It is really a good place for actual combat training.
No. Wan Lei simply reviewed the army. After a brief pre-war mobilization, Renzi Battalion and Yizi Battalion boarded the boat and began to carry out beach landing operations. This time Wan Lei did not go out to fight. Instead, he asked a man named Yu Qian's young major general is in charge of command.
Yu Qian, courtesy name Tingyi, was born in Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from Peking University and was admitted to the Peiping Institute of National Defense Science and Technology. After graduation, he was admitted to the Peking Military Academy with excellent results. He majored in military command and later responded to Wan Lei's call. He joined the Qinglong Army and stood out from the long-term military training and actual combat exercises. He was appointed deputy general staff officer of the Qinglong Army and was promoted to the rank of major general.
In fact, the reason why Yu Qian was promoted at a rocket-like speed is mainly because he also has another identity, that is, one of Wan Lei's students. In fact, Wan Lei has trained more than 50 disciples in the past ten years. Twenty people gave up the luxurious life in the Republic of China and chose to go to Dadongzhou with their teacher to start a new business. This moved Wan Lei even more.
His disciple is always trustworthy. Wan Lei put Yu Qian in charge of commanding the Qinglong Army in its first actual battle since its formation. The purpose was to cultivate his commanding ability and prepare for the future campaign in Dadongzhou.
In addition to his disciples, Wan Lei also asked his two sons to go into battle. Of course, this time he only asked them to serve as ambulance soldiers, so that they could experience the cruelty of war in the tragic situation of blood and flesh flying everywhere when carrying wounded soldiers. Let them truly realize that war is not as simple as making meritorious deeds, but a fight of life and death.
The landing battle started at nine o'clock in the morning. Two thousand soldiers took hundreds of small boats and rode the wind and waves towards the coastline. The natives set up several lines of defense on the beach. Bows, arrows and javelins flew like raindrops. However, these things were not broken at all. Without the bulletproof vests and helmets worn by the shooters, they are of no use at all.
You know, with the development of the chemical industry and the emergence of chemical fibers, the Peking Army's Logistics Equipment Department even developed a new type of armor made of aluminum alloy and special chemical fibers. This armor is very light, but it can block Bullets. So it was named body armor. Wan Lei customized thousands of pieces.
This kind of body armor cannot even be penetrated by high-speed flying bullets. Being hit by those fluffy bows, arrows and javelins is no different from scratching an itch. No, two thousand infantrymen rushed ashore. It was like entering an uninhabited land. They attacked the enemy's beach position. The sound of rifles continued. A large number of natives lay dead on the battlefield. They retreated step by step.
The battle for the beach only lasted an hour and ended. There were no casualties among the 2,000 infantrymen. They were divided into 20 centurions and swept into the island in a pull-type battle formation. At the same time, 200 people were assigned to protect the warships and ships on the shore. Receiving wounded prisoners. In short, everything was as orderly as usual training. Wan Lei was also very satisfied.
Kauai is not big, but it is the oldest island among the Honolulu Islands. The natives of the Honolulu Islands all believe that their first letter was on Kauai. Once Kauai is captured, there is no doubt that this will happen to the natives. It's a fatal blow.
Kauai is separated from other islands by oceans. The Big East and Big East are across the strait. Reinforcements from each island cannot get through at all. They can only watch the Kauai Island, which carries their own beliefs, being ravaged.
After seeing the strong ships and sharp artillery of the Blue Dragon Army, the indigenous people on each island fell into panic. Because they knew that after the Battle of Kauai, they would become the next ones. Some tribal leaders who had no hope directly sent people Come and ask for surrender. I hope this terrible maritime force can let them go.
However, Wan Lei had no intention of surrendering. He had already landed on Honolulu Island, which occupies a maritime hub position. He wanted to monopolize it before he could rest assured. How could he share it with others? Even the former King of Ryukyu, Wu Ning, asked him for a title. No ideas. Not to mention the natives who don't have any bargaining chips.
Give up what you should give up and fight for what you shouldn't give up to the end. This is one of Wan Lei's principles in dealing with things. Even the power of the president can be given up if it does not belong to him; if it is worth fighting for, then he will not give it up. The Honolulu Islands are important not only for their geographical location, but also for their beautiful scenery. Wan Lei also plans to retire here in the future.
