Faced with this hellish horror scene, the Boston soldiers had completely lost their combat effectiveness. They were running around trying to avoid the bombings from the planes, but it was all in vain.
Without the cover of the navy and air force, these soldiers exposed on the beach could only be living targets. Tens of thousands of Boston soldiers were crowded on a small flat land, and even the airport was completely occupied by soldiers. Such a large density and increased
The lethal effect of napalm was greatly increased, and Boston soldiers were killed one after another.
Some clever soldiers planned to hide in the tunnels, and they rushed towards the tunnel entrances on the island. Other soldiers soon woke up and rushed over. Their idea was good, but the tunnel entrances were very narrow.
Only one person can pass through at a time. If these soldiers line up and pass in good order, they may be able to have more people survive.
If the Boston Empire soldiers were well-disciplined, they could indeed survive a few more people, but this is only theoretical data. Under the threat of the terrifying flames of napalm bombs, who is willing to give in and let their companions enter the mountain tunnels to escape first. All
Everyone is vying to be first
They stepped forward in fear, hoping to enter the tunnel first to avoid the death from the sky. As a result, a serious stampede occurred near the entrance of the narrow tunnel. Many people with weak constitutions were pushed to the ground, and then stepped on
He picked up countless feet and trampled him to death.
Seeing that they could not squeeze to the front, some Boston soldiers at the back went crazy. They picked up their semi-automatic rifles or submachine guns and fired at the crowd in front, trying to carve a bloody path and escape into the tunnel. There was one person.
After shooting, the situation became unstoppable. More and more people opened fire, and the Boston soldiers began to kill each other.
An hour later, when the Chinese Empire's Eastern Ocean Fleet approached Weir Island, the place had turned into a world of charcoal. All the soldiers contaminated by napalm did not escape the fate of being burned to charcoal, and those who did not dare to fall into the water did not escape the fate of being burned to charcoal.
Most of the sailors who landed on the island became prey for sharks. In the end, only more than 300 Boston sailors were able to be rescued by the Eastern Ocean Fleet.
There were more dead bodies in front of the tunnel. The corpses were piled up in layers from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the tunnel on the mountainside. This was the case near the entrance of more than a dozen tunnels. There were several layers of densely packed corpses, almost blocking the entrance of the tunnel.
Half of the exit, and the flowing blood gathered together and became a small river made of blood, slowly flowing to the beach and then merged into the sea.
Those soldiers who successfully entered the tunnel, as well as the first three divisions of Boston soldiers who waited to fight with the 331st Regiment in the tunnel, luckily escaped. However, these people also lost their resistance after seeing the purgatory-like scene on the island.
Willing, they surrendered to the soldiers of the 331st Regiment of the Chinese Marine Corps, who were much smaller in number than their own, and the Chinese Navy submarines cruising nearby also surfaced one after another to help the fleet clean up the battlefield on the sea.
After disarming all the Bostonians and taking custody of them, Feng Ju led a group of guards and staff to land on Vail Island. "Reporting to the general, Feng Yucheng, commander of the 331st Regiment, 11th Brigade, 5th Division, 3rd Marine Corps, reported to the general
You report." Feng Yucheng looked quite embarrassed at this time. His head was wrapped with a bandage, his clothes had been scraped into rags, and his face was darkened by gunpowder smoke, but he was still upright and in the most standard posture.
A military salute was given.
Feng Ju patted Feng Yucheng on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for you. You are all good. Where are all the soldiers in the regiment?"
Feng Yucheng pointed back and said: "Report to the commander, they are all here."
Behind Feng Yucheng, there were more than 120 soldiers in ragged clothes. Their faces were tired and almost all of them were injured, but they all tried their best to stand up straight and salute Feng Ju. This is the total number of 1,500 soldiers.
After more than a day of brutal fighting, all the remaining troops of the 331st Regiment were gone.
Although the 331st Regiment fought relatively smoothly in the early stage of the battle, after the Bostonians increased their troops, their range of activities became very small and their casualties increased sharply, so now they are the only ones left. Qian Feng was shot on the leg
Wearing a bandage, he barely stood in the team relying on the support of a rifle, with tears in his eyes, because in yesterday's battle, Chen Shou and Chen Laoer both sacrificed their young lives to protect him.
"Reporting to the leader, Liu Quan, captain of the 19th Island Flying Guard Team, requested to return to the team." Liu Quan came out of the floating submarine No. 1085 and then used an assault boat to board the Vail Island and ran to Feng Yucheng's side. Behind Liu Quan
were all thirty-three other surviving pilots.
"General..." Feng Yucheng looked at Feng Ju.
Feng Ju nodded: "Allow them to return to the team." Liu Quan and the others saluted Feng Ju and ran to the line where the soldiers of the 331st Regiment stood upright.
Feng Ju patted Feng Yucheng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I didn't embarrass your father."
Who would have known before the battle that the Marine Corps commander who stood on Vail Island under tremendous pressure was the son of Feng Shichang, the former Chief of General Staff of the Army. Before the war, some military officers had proposed that Feng Yucheng be flown by plane.
When he was replaced, he was firmly resisted by Feng Yucheng. As a soldier, he could never abandon his brother as a deserter.
Feng Yucheng smiled, showing his white teeth on his dark face: "I know that I haven't done anything to show my face. Now my father will not say that I am useless anymore."
Feng Ju nodded. He took a few steps forward and walked in front of the many officers and soldiers guarding the island. He said with tears in his eyes: "It was my wrong command that caused you to suffer such heavy losses. I apologize to you.
"As he said this, Feng Ju bowed deeply to the officers and soldiers guarding the island.
The officers and soldiers guarding the island stood there upright, and stretched out their hands in order to salute another military salute. Feng Ju raised his head and said: "You are all good, you are the best officers and soldiers in the Chinese Empire, I am proud of you. Please
Don’t be sad for your fallen comrades, because veterans will never die, their military souls will never die, and their fighting spirit will last forever.”
"As long as the old soldier dies, the spirit of the army will never be extinguished." After hearing Feng Ju's words, all the officers and soldiers guarding the island chanted selflessly. They seemed to be thinking of their comrades who had sacrificed, and of the days and nights of hard fighting a few days ago.
Soon the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire on the entire island shouted in agreement, followed closely by the officers and soldiers on the warships and the submarines. The shouts of "Unless the veterans die, the spirit of the army will never be extinguished." The shouts resounded through the sky above Vail Island.
Surrounded for a long time.
After learning about the arduous fighting experience of the 331st Marine Regiment, Fang Ruijun was deeply moved. He immediately ordered the 331st Regiment to be named the Rock Regiment. He also wrote seven characters in his own hand and sent it to Vail Island, instructing the engineering team to
A monument was erected on the island and these words were written on it.
After the end of the World War, the Chinese Consortium sent a professional engineering team to build a stone monument on Vail Island. The stone monument was made entirely of granite and was ten meters high. Around the base of the stone monument, there were inscriptions about the battle.
The names of the sacrificed soldiers of the 331st Regiment were engraved on the front of the stone tablet with seven large characters written by Fang Ruijun.
Later, Vail Island became a tourist attraction, and many people came here specifically to visit the tunnels left behind in the war and the towering stone monument. From then on, every visitor to Vail Island
, everyone will see the tall stone monument at the first time, and the seven bright red characters on the stone monument are also clearly visible. People can clearly see the seven characters written by Fang Ruijun from a distance, "A man is determined to die".
Feng Ju's beautiful naval battle wiped out the entire ocean-going fleet of the Boston Empire. Forty-five aircraft carriers, fifty-nine battleships, hundreds of cruisers and thousands of destroyers, hundreds of supply ships and thousands of merchant ships were destroyed.
Completely destroyed.
In addition, one hundred thousand naval officers and more than one hundred thousand army soldiers were killed or captured, causing the Boston Empire to lose most of its naval elite. At this time, there was no longer a single large surface ship on the entire west coast of the Boston Empire. Now it can
The only ones left to defend the west coast of the Boston Empire were hundreds of small gunboats and torpedo boats, and dozens of submarines that would be detected by the sonar of Chinese naval vessels as soon as they went to sea.
Feng Ju spent two months, relying on strategic deception and excellent command skills, and after paying heavy casualties, completely annihilated the Boston Imperial Ocean Fleet. However, Fang Ruijun's face turned livid after receiving the military expenditure report: "Let's start."
What a joke, so many missiles were used, and the cost of one battle was as high as 100 million yuan. Does he want me to go bankrupt?"
The naval commander Zhang Haiyang on the side said with a smile: "Young Master, it is not expensive to exchange 100 million Chinese dollars for Boston's entire ocean-going fleet."
Fang Ruijun sighed and said, "Yes, after all, we still made a profit."
Lin Feng, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet on the side, took out another document and said: "Young Master, this is a report on the need for overhaul of the ships of the Eastern Ocean Fleet and the replacement of battle-damaged carrier-based aircraft." When he heard that he wanted to spend money again, Fang Ruijun immediately turned black.
Zhang Haiyang stretched his shoulders and said with a smile: "I told you this is not expensive."
The great victory in the Eastern Ocean Battle made the Chinese Empire's situation in the Eastern Ocean very good. The Chinese Empire's Eastern Ocean Fleet completely controlled the sea control of the entire Eastern Ocean. A large number of troops defending the eastern coastal areas could finally be mobilized to supplement
