Three months later, the Fortuna Kingdom formally signed a defense treaty with the Supreme Council of the Wangdong City Chamber of Commerce, and the newly formed Kingdom Defense Force took over all military defense in Wangdong City, including the Self-Defense Forces Langzui Bank anti-artillery defense position.
Everything happened so quickly, it seemed like a dream.
According to the provisions of the treaty, the Wangdongcheng Self-Defense Force was renamed the Wangdongcheng Police Mobile Force, which is responsible for some police affairs in Wangdongcheng, and is authorized by the Kingdom of Fortner to carry out 'suppression of bandits' in the area surrounding Wangdongcheng. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye will understand.
, this is nothing more than a trick, the Fortuna Kingdom Defense Force was established with heart.
There are insufficient troops, insufficient training and insufficient loyalty, and Wangdong City is only a free trade city and cannot have military troops or participate in military operations, so this method can only be used. But at least in name, all military operations are conducted by Ford.
The Kingdom's Royal Army, Royal Guards and Royal Salim Commandos to which the Kingdom of Na belongs are responsible.
In addition, due to the lack of personnel in the Royal Defense Force, volunteers of other nationalities are also accepted and warmly welcomed to join, as long as they perform an oath ceremony to the royal family.
Watching the national flag of the Fortner Kingdom and the newly designed National Defense Forces flag rising on the top of the No. 1 Fort at Langzui Position, Feng Nan was filled with emotions. In any case, this was a very good beginning. Speaking of which, he had to thank the rebels.
.
The rebels' raid on Wangdong City was definitely a failure. It turned all previous diplomatic efforts into a piece of waste paper and completely tied the originally wavering Wangdong City Chamber of Commerce to the Fortner royal family, not to mention this.
It has had an impact in Africa and even around the world.
The failure of the mangrove landing battle caused the rebels to lose not only hundreds of troops and nearly twenty river warfare boats, but the most irreparable loss was the loss of the third core figure of the rebel officer corps, General Canter, who was killed by 77
The detachment's sniper Liang Yonghao successfully sniped at an extremely long sight range, causing the rebels to lose a powerful soldier.
The rebels became angry because of this. After resting for two days, the rebel leader General Thabo came to the front line to take command. He used almost all mobile forces and firepower to storm the Wolf Mouth position. After four hours, he successfully destroyed one and three of the upper jaws of the Wolf Mouth.
No. 4 battery and landed.
After the rebel landing troops occupied the commanding heights of Langzui, they continuously bombarded the main second-line positions of the Self-Defense Forces with light mortars, and actively conducted observations to indicate targets for the artillery, which put tremendous pressure on the Self-Defense Forces. However, all this failed
It's just General Thabo's plan to attack the east and attack the west.
Nine hours after the rebels launched their second attack, they suddenly sent landing troops to land at the 'Wolf Eye'. The road here is narrow, the rocks are rugged, and it is backed by a mountain. It was previously considered an unsuitable place for landing, so they were stationed here.
The 7th Coast Artillery Battery and the 5th Coast Artillery Battery were relatively weak in strength and firepower, and when the rebels landed on the mangrove tidal flats, the Self-Defense Forces Command deployed some troops from these two companies to participate in the counterattack.
After the landing battle on the mangrove tidal flat, Feng Nan took the initiative to withdraw from the bush position there to prevent the rebels from retaliating with fire. Later, the Self-Defense Forces Command strongly requested that this position be restored to prevent the rebels from re-landing. However, Feng Nan
Nan doesn't agree with this suggestion and doesn't even like it
The Self-Defense Army sent troops to settle in, but the Self-Defense Army really didn't want to give up this advantageous flanking position and stubbornly sent a platoon over. As a result, it was shot down by artillery fire in less than half a day, so they had to give up, but they still sent the anti-landing troops
The focus is on the mangrove tidal flats.
This deployment of troops was soon proven wrong.
In fact, not everyone did not expect that the Wolf Eye area, which was originally unsuitable for landing, would become a key target of the rebels. Feng Nan and Major Joy of the Self-Defense Forces both thought of it, but neither of their suggestions was really taken seriously.
After the rebels' second landing campaign started, because the Wolf Mouth Palate position had been captured, the rebel landing troops were able to receive effective firepower and information support. Within half an hour, the Seventh Coast Defense Artillery Company was forced to give up its defense.
The position was defeated.
At this time, Feng Nan, as the military representative of the Fortner royal family, was stationed at the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces, arguing with Colonel Inslet. When he heard that the rebels had landed for the second time, and at Wolf Eyes, he immediately jumped up and brought
Yang Liming, Cao Xiangdong and Yige ran to the shore for five consecutive runs.
The commander of Position 5 is Major Joy, who is also Feng Nan's good friend. Now all the pressure is going to him. Due to personal and business reasons, Feng Nan can no longer sit down peacefully in the headquarters, not to mention that besides
Damn it, there's really no use for him to stay here.
Major Joy is really a capable person. Originally, the Self-Defense Forces Headquarters only assigned him three infantry fighting vehicle turrets, but I don’t know where he got a tank turret from, and all according to Feng Nan’s suggestion, it was made of
Captain Magic designed and constructed a fire support point capable of conducting 360-degree rotating attacks, so that no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, it can concentrate its firepower to strike.
Feng Nan's arrival made Major Joy very happy. After all, Feng Nan's bravery and proficiency in fighting were a great help to him.
Then came the reinforcements from an infantry platoon sent by Colonel Innslake, but the final reserve was still tightly held by Colonel Innslake. Although the seventh company position had fallen, Colonel Innslake still had a few points.
Not sure.
As a result, the total number of troops on the fifth company's position has reached close to a hundred, including the troops of the fifth company's headquarters, the broken troops of the seventh company, and a full infantry platoon sent by Colonel Innslake. Originally, there were still soldiers from the Wolf's Mouth.
Some people withdrew from the palace, but they only rested here briefly and quickly retreated to the back.
Time waited for no one. The infantry platoon sent by Colonel Inslake had just reported in, and the rebel attack began. About four hundred rebel soldiers, under long-range artillery fire, surface gunboats and the light force of the Wolf Mouth landing force,
Under the cover of artillery fire, they roared and attacked in several waves, intending to capture the No. 5 turret in one fell swoop like the No. 7 turret, but they soon ran into a wall of fire.
The road in this area was originally narrow. Although the front line extending to the Fifth Company was slightly wider, it was just conducive to the Fifth Company's firepower. Major Joy patiently put the rebels at a distance of 150 meters.
The order was given to fire, so a door
The firepower composed of a 100mm tank gun, three 73mm low-pressure smoothbore cannons and more than thirty light and heavy machine guns hit them all, leaving behind piles of black at the front of the position in just a few minutes.
The corpse was red inside.
The rebels' attacks have always lacked resilience. After one attack was repelled, they reluctantly launched two more rounds, and then they could no longer attack.
At this time, Colonel Innslake also recognized the battlefield situation, and the six newly formed reserve companies in Wangdong City had also arrived to report, so he immediately assembled the remaining reserve teams, plus three companies of reserve soldiers, each of which
The mobilized troops from the fort and the excess sailors from the riverboats on Langzui Harbor (the riverboats were currently under mortar fire attack from the Langzui Upper Palate rebels, and it was better to land and counterattack than to be beaten) against the rebel landing force in the Langyan area.
Fight back.
Colonel Innslake is actually a good commander, but he is a bit dogmatic. Once he understands the battlefield situation, his abilities are not bad. He assigned tactical targets to each counterattack team, and then brought in the trump card that he has been reluctant to use -
—Four 1mm mortars served as supporting firepower, and then with an order, the counterattack troops of the Self-Defense Forces attacked the rebel positions like tigers.
Although the rebel attack failed, they still thought they had the initiative in the battle, and the front commander did not build defenses in time. Therefore, the Self-Defense Forces counterattacked and recaptured the 7th company position. It turned out that the rebels had not even attacked the turret.
After the destruction, I was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to take over. The 73mm smoothbore cannon roared again, increasing the firepower of the counterattack troops.
The rebel landing force on the beach was quickly defeated, and the firepower boats were forced to withdraw beyond the effective fire range of the Self-Defense Forces. Part of the main force of the landing force was annihilated, and some were captured. The remaining lucky ones hurriedly boarded the ship and evacuated.
Some of them climbed onto the roof of the wolf's mouth and joined forces with the defenders there.
In order to prevent the rebel fireboats from retaliating, the Self-Defense Forces counterattack force cleared the rebel Wolf Eyes landing force, leaving only some troops to garrison No. 7 Fort. The remaining troops continued along the eastern slope of the Wolf Mouth.
Attack the rebels fiercely and use them to recover Forts 3 and 1.
Because it was an upward attack, the attack encountered some difficulties, but a dramatic scene occurred at this time. In fact, this scene also occurred when the No. 7 Fort was recovered just now.
The turret of the Self-Defense Force is actually a fire support point built with the turret of a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle. Since there is no corresponding equipment support for the vehicle body, it cannot rotate and the shooting angle is limited. The corresponding mechanical equipment must first ensure the inland river firepower boat
Therefore, except for Major Joey's position, which was inspired by Feng Nan and was planned differently, all the other support points are fire support points with fixed angles.
This was originally a shortcoming, not conducive to the development of firepower, but after being captured, it also produced an unexpected advantage earlier, that is, the rebels could not use the captured turret to turn the muzzle to fire at the Self-Defense Forces, even during the Self-Defense Forces Counterattack No. 3
The same was true for the fort. In addition, the Self-Defense Forces effectively used the hillside to cover the attack, and basically did not suffer any damage from the rebel artillery fire.
With the recovery of No. 3 turret, the Self-Defense Forces further increased their firepower, and both the rebel riverboat troops and the landing troops were forced to retreat. Two rebel riverboats bravely braved the firepower of the Self-Defense Forces and docked.
Part of the landing force was taken away, which became a highlight of the entire campaign for the few rebels.
As for the rebel landing troops who had no chance to evacuate, a small number of them resisted and were killed, and most of them were captured by the Self-Defense Forces, which added more than 200 prisoners of war to the prisoner-of-war camp.
This was the last landing attack by the rebels in this battle. After that, the rebels retreated. The rebels' 152 artillery bombarded the entire city of Wangdong City, including the passenger and cargo terminal, firing a total of 152 shells and five rounds.
More than ten shots, but this is typical
The retaliatory shooting had no tactical focus, so although it caused Wangdongcheng the largest loss since the beginning of the war, it did not achieve any campaign tactical purpose. Instead, it strengthened Wangdongcheng's determination to fight with it, and further deepened the relationship between Wangdongcheng and Fortner.
Royal alliance.
The rebels' retaliatory bombardment came to a halt. According to intelligence, the rebels ran out of artillery shells, and the rebels' 152-plus howitzers were originally purchased second-hand goods. After several days of high-intensity shelling, they successively
Something went wrong and two of the doors were completely scrapped.
The rebels' rash attack on Wangdong City was a complete loss, both militarily and politically. For this reason, General Thabo, the leader of the rebels, fell seriously ill afterwards and was bedridden for two months.
.
In the following months, although the rebels' long-range artillery would fire at Wangdong City from time to time, they basically no longer posed a big threat.
