The nights in the African wetland and rainforest are not quiet. Even late at night, you can still clearly hear the chirping of unknown birds and beasts in the distance and the buzzing of flying insects nearby. All of this constitutes
The unique song of life in the black African swamps.
The outpost of the 59th Light Infantry Brigade of the Fortner Military Government was built on a swampy highland. Because deep foundations could not be laid, all the buildings were light shack-style buildings. In addition, scrapped ships, dead trees and driftwood had become
Excellent building material.
The outpost base of the 59th Light Infantry Brigade is the heavy infantry group closest to Wangdong City. In addition to a fully equipped light infantry battalion, there are also a number of reinforcement and support detachments, with as many as five to six hundred permanent troops. 59
The light infantry brigade is also known as one of the elites of the military government, but despite this, its sentries are still not very dedicated, and there seems to be some kind of agreement between the sentries. The sentries who should monitor and cover each other take turns on the watchtower.
Dozing off, bored and waiting for another boring day to come.
Although the military government has been clamoring all day long to drive the Jews back to the desert, completely eliminate the royal family, and turn Fortuna into a real country belonging to the people, there are rumors that the top military officials are negotiating with the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, and after
After more than a year of war, they, who are lazy by nature, are tired of killing and massacre, and are no longer very interested in the military government's spouting propaganda.
Although there is a bright moon in the sky this night, the visibility is relatively good, but it is a dark night after all, and there are always dark blind spots that make it impossible to make accurate observations. Just under a calm water surface, a warrior surfaced, holding a hard crossbow as a warning.
Then the second and third soldiers emerged from the water one after another. They opened the waterproof bags, took out the firearms, installed sights and silencers, and like ghosts in the night, avoided the searchlights and quietly
Infiltrate the lines at the 59th Brigade outpost.
A sentry of the 59th Brigade seemed to have noticed something moving. He was about to turn his searchlight to take a closer look, but suddenly he found a small red dot on his chest. Before he could react, a bullet hit him.
He was followed by another shot. The attacker seemed to be accustomed to using double safety and fired two shots in succession, killing him at the sentry post.
At this time, all the commandos had landed. They were divided into three groups. The two groups were in the front, holding short rifles and pistols with silencers for silent assaults. The third group was snipers, responsible for support. They successfully killed all the sentries.
Infiltrate into the enemy position, followed by an elite infantry platoon trained in demolition and close combat. Because the enemy sentries have been killed, they use rubber landing craft to land, follow closely behind the commando team, infiltrate into the enemy position, and plant explosives in important parts.
, killing the unlucky people encountered on the road, the whole process is a quiet and orderly killing.
When all the preset explosive points were deployed, the third combat detachment had also landed. However, just as the advance commando team was preparing to continue deep penetration, an enemy patrol that was not included in the reconnaissance plan suddenly appeared.
A combat group of an elite infantry platoon covering the flank of the commando was forced to open fire. Although the enemy patrol was eliminated, it also exposed the night attack attempt. At this time, the night attack could only be converted into a force attack.
Feng Nan, the commander in charge of the night attack, pulled off his mask and ordered to prepare for explosion protection. Everyone who heard the order covered their ears and opened their mouths to reduce the shock to their internal organs during the explosion. The demolition crew immediately detonated in advance.
After setting off the preset bombs, in a series of violent explosions, the front-line enemy command posts, ammunition depots and barracks flew into the sky one after another, and many enemies were blown away in their sleep.
"Strike!" Feng Nan issued the second order. The commando team and the elite infantry platoon pounced on the second-line enemy troops before they could react. They stuffed grenades into the windows of every room they encountered.
, violently strafed the exit of the barracks with automatic weapons, and two more infantry platoons landed behind them. One of them stayed to clean up the remaining enemy lines, and the other went directly through the enemy lines to support the commandos and elite infantry platoons in front.
As expected of the elite 59th Light Infantry Brigade, after experiencing a brief panic, they began to organize defenses under the command of grassroots officers. Machine guns spit out flames and light mortars also began to fire to suppress the attacking Royal Guards.
Feng Nan was well prepared for this. He immediately called in the rocket launcher and used the machine gun to suppress the enemy's fire from the front. The rocket launcher fired from the flanks and eliminated the enemy's fire points one by one. The remaining enemy troops were driven by the fire and fled towards the water.
Trying to escape by boat or fording water, Feng Nan knew that although the enemy troops retreated, they still had a numerical advantage, so the attack on them must not stop, so he called for mortar fire and used the short time of the shelling to replenish ammunition.
He Shui continued to chase after the enemy and beat them fiercely, constantly causing panic and killing.
However, the rebels began to prepare for a counterattack. The first to arrive were 122mm howitzer shells. At the same time, the Guards patrol boats cruising around the periphery also discovered that a large number of river boat troops were gathering, and there had been incidents on both sides of the Guards' supply line.
After a fierce battle between river fighting boats, it was time to leave.
Feng Nan ordered all the troops on the island to stop searching and pursuing the remaining enemy troops, and began an orderly retreat. He took away all the wounded along the way, and tried to take away the bodies or identity tags of his fallen comrades, and set up mines on the retreat route.
Explosive devices. Among the dozens of prisoners, only those with officer rank were taken away. The rest had their arms tied and thrown into the concealment department.
At this time, the enemy's river boat fleet and reinforcements had already set off, and the 122mm howitzer fire was also fierce. This is the cruel reality. No matter how elite the infantry unit is, it is still so vulnerable when encountering artillery fire.
Feng Nan led his team to retreat amidst the artillery fire, and finally successfully boarded the corresponding transport ship. At the same time, the Guards' only two 122 howitzers and 1 mortar also worked hard to shoot Zhu Yuan on the enemy's inland river as scheduled.
The fleet of boats carried out blocking fire, but their number and ammunition were limited, so they could not achieve the desired tactical effect.
Under the attack of the superior force of the rebels, the river boat unit of the Imperial Guard was defeated. The rebel fleet began to intercept the retreating Feng Nan's troops. During the fierce battle, up to one-third of the retreating fleet was damaged. Faced with
In the duel between shelling warships and warships, even the most elite 77 squadron was unable to do what it wanted and suffered casualties. The worst was machine gunner Xia Gang, who was hit in the waist by a 23mm shell, and his strong body was
He was beaten into two pieces. His younger brother Xia Qiang held his remaining upper body and was crying without tears. He kept muttering to himself: "I have always listened to you in everything, and now only
Halfway through, if I had known earlier, it would be better to do what I said and stay in prison and be the boss. The life would be no worse than outside..."
"Oh, please stop talking." Jin Li was enjoying listening at first, but when she heard that the attacking troops began to be beaten and damaged, she couldn't stand it anymore. She covered her ears with her hands and kicked her long legs twice.
.
Feng Nan sneered a little: "You can't stand listening anymore? I'm analyzing it from the best aspect. I have strengthened the strength, weapons and training level, otherwise there will be no results at all."
"Then what results did we achieve?" After all, Yige was older and had received some training, so this question was quite relevant.
Feng Nan said: "Tactically speaking, we got a good exchange ratio in this battle. We dispatched an assault company, mixed artillery battery and support boat fleet, with a total number of only about 300 people, and wiped out all
We defeated a rebel battalion of five to six hundred men. Although we suffered losses, we still maintained 60% of our combat strength and were able to cope with the rebels' retaliatory counterattack. Strategically speaking, we have won the battle. This is
Isn’t it exactly what His Highness wants?”
"It's what I want, but..." Jin Li, "It doesn't seem to be what I want."
Feng Nan smiled and said: "Your Highness, you have also experienced war. War is cruel. As the saying goes, one person kills one thousand, but one loses eight hundred. Only lunatics and perverts clamor for war all day long, but the current situation is like this.
We are forced to fight a winning battle to reverse the decline. The deduction I just made is actually very optimistic. If you really want to think about it, it will be easy to handle. In one word, money. Do you still have money?"
Jin Li sighed and shook her head.
Feng Nan said: "I can also give you an estimate, based on the best consumption ratio. If we want to continue to fight the rebels, we must continue to win the battle. The key targets are as follows: Yes
Towns or villages in areas of important political significance, mineral spots and towns and villages that can provide stable economic and food sources; destroy the rebels' important strategic reserves, including materials and soldiers; and effectively annihilate the rebels' effective forces."
Jin Li nodded and said, "Well, I have considered these things, but I just don't know what to do."
Feng Nan said: "It's useless no matter what you do now. These attack points also have conditions. For example, mineral and grain-producing areas, you must not only capture them but also defend them. Not only must they defend them, but they must also manage them well."
, missing any link is in vain, for this you need three important ministers, one of whom is the general of the attacking force."
At this point, Jin Li stared at Feng Nan with burning eyes. Feng Nan noticed it and said: "Don't, don't keep pointing at me, I can't conquer the world... Anyway, you need a general, and you need a general."
As a general who is good at defense and training, you also need the best administrative officer to manage. Anyway, I don’t know what strength you have. Just watch, you don’t have many capable people under your command.”
Jin Li felt a little hopeful, but in the blink of an eye, Feng Nan pointed out the sore point again. Yes, she still has three to four thousand soldiers and horses in name, but what she can really command is dozens of guardsmen, almost no one.
A naked guy with no guns and no money.
Feng Nan added: "It's okay to fight a battle that doesn't occupy any territory, but it must meet two points. One is to gain greater political prestige, and the other is to eliminate the opponent's effective forces as much as possible. But please be careful, Your Highness, you are destroying
While the rebels are gaining strength, they are also wiping out Fortner's population, which are also your people."
Jin Li didn't know what to say at all. There seemed to be no cards left in her hand. She could only look at Feng Nan pitifully, hoping to hear some good news from his mouth. Unexpectedly, the corners of Feng Nan's mouth turned slightly.
He tilted his head and smiled a little evilly. Next to him, Yi Ge's heart skipped a beat and he thought: This guy won't say what he said earlier about letting Princess Jinli work as a waiter in a tea house.
