He must be very smart. If you want to talk to him about the war against Japan, he will say that he is inferior to people with guns and artillery, and that he cannot beat people. But if you want to talk to him about the outside world, you must first calm down the inside, then he will not be sleepy.
The commanders of the Mirage Kingdom have similar virtues: if you ask them to launch a counterattack against the Tang army, they may not have the courage, but if you ask them to launch a counterattack against the orcs, they really dare to try.
That night, before 11 o'clock, the troops of the Mirage Kingdom who had been hiding in the tunnels came out in the dark and launched an attack on the orc troops who had set up camp before dark.
Flares illuminated the sky, and the mirage artillery that had been silent during the day began to roar again. The orc troops were caught off guard and were stunned again.
For a time, there were Mirage troops everywhere on the battlefield, there were gunshots everywhere, shouts of killing, explosions and fire everywhere.
Shanlu was making arrangements to continue the attack tomorrow at a temporary headquarters, when he heard the news of the mirage's counterattack.
When he heard the news, he was completely stunned: he watched the Tang Army capture the South Island with his own eyes, and then watched the Tang Army push the New Island with his own eyes... In these two battles, he had never heard of the Mirage Army.
What an example of successful counterattack!
This is really treating their orc troops as soft persimmons! Shanru was furious when he thought of this, and immediately issued an order to all the orc troops to fight to the end.
The orc troops, who had lost their temper, finally broke out. Under the pale light of the flares, they became entangled with the mirage goblin troops, almost reaching the full level of bloodshed.
"Fix the bayonet!" Seeing the goblins rushing towards him crazily, the orc officer roared and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
After a tiring day and wandering at sea for a long time, the orc soldiers were inspired to become ferocious. They took out their bayonets from their back waists and inserted them into the muzzles of their rifles.
The bright bayonets reflected frightening light under the unnatural light of the flares, and the crowds of tall orcs and short goblins collided together.
"Kill!" An orc soldier was covered in blood, like a god of death. He pierced the body of a goblin and lifted the opponent into the air.
Before he could withdraw his bayonet, he was stabbed into a hornet's nest by the bayonets of several Mirage soldiers.
In the distance, the heavy machine gun on the Orc position opened fire, and the flames from the muzzle were particularly obvious in the dark night. The tracer bullets drew straight lines and rushed into the crowd of mirage soldiers.
The losses on both sides were huge. It was completely different from when they landed during the day. Everyone no longer clicked to the end, and they were no longer gentle. The night seemed to encourage the desire to kill, making cruelty and violence the main theme.
Gradually, the counterattack force of the Mirage Kingdom began to be unable to support itself. On the one hand, they were indeed few in number, and on the other hand, it was because the main force of the orcs began to enter the battle.
The outer orc security forces are all non-main forces filling the line. They are equipped with Mauser 98k rifles and very few automatic weapons.
But the most elite direct troops under Shanlu are equipped with Type 6 assault rifles! This is the same automatic weapon as the troops of the Tang Empire. It has fierce firepower and is suitable for close-range melee combat.
When these troops began to enter the battle, the losses of the Mirage Army began to increase. In order to preserve their strength, the commanders of the Mirage Kingdom chose to retreat on their own initiative.
In fact, the mirage army's counterattack that night was quite successful, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was almost one to one. Although the goblins were obviously disadvantaged in terms of size, they gathered their strength and were familiar with the terrain, which really caused trouble for the orcs.
After a night of fierce fighting, the orc commanders also correctly understood the combat effectiveness of the Mirage Army: Even though the goblins were weaker than the Tang Empire troops, the combat effectiveness of the Mirage Army was actually quite strong.
If the mirage army was not strong in combat effectiveness, it would not have been possible for the Qi State to fear and suppress the Zheng State and fight casually. Combat effectiveness is really relative, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about if you cannot defeat the powerful Tang Army.
After leaving about 1,000 corpses, the mirage army retreated back to their starting position. Although they did not drive their opponents into the sea, they did achieve certain results.
Mirvuk listened to the report and compiled the results of the battle: he was confident that he had eliminated approximately 6,000 orc soldiers who landed and severely damaged the orc troops that landed that day.
This result is not accurate. In fact, the Orc troops lost approximately 4,000 soldiers. These troops were not all from the 1st Orc Infantry Division, and some of them belonged to the 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Division.
That's right, the goblins misjudged the unloading capacity of Tang's landing fleet: the orc landing force with only light weapons did not rely much on the dock, so the orcs who landed were not one division, but three divisions! Not ten thousand people, but a full 4
Ten thousand!
Mirwuk, who thought that the orc troops were almost losing their combat capabilities, never imagined that the orc troops in front of him were actually not injured at all.
That night, fierce battles took place not only on land, but also between the navies of both sides.
The only two remaining destroyers of the Mirage Navy were sunk by Tang Army's anti-ship missiles at night, about 100 kilometers outside Mirage Port.
Completely different from Mirage Haiping's expectation, the battlefield has been dominated by radar and advanced automatic artillery and missiles.
The Tang Army's destroyer fleet equipped with new naval guns deployed on both wings of the fleet did not leave any chance to the Mirage Navy's suicide speedboat force.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted from midnight until dawn the next day. The Mirage dispatched a total of 300 suicide speedboats of various types and two destroyers.
The Tang Army dispatched 40 destroyers and 3 cruisers to intercept these desperate lunatics: the final battle situation was that two destroyers of the Tang Army were seriously injured, two were slightly injured, and 0 soldiers were killed; all the ships of the Mirage that entered the battle were sunk.
Or self-destruction, the loss of personnel is close to 4,000!
In fact, even if the Tang Army did not have destroyers equipped with Otto automatic cannons, the Mirage Navy's suicide speedboats would not be able to break through the defense line composed of Tang Army destroyers equipped with radars.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even in terms of numbers, the two sides are not at the same level: the Tang Army's landing fleet participated in the battle with nearly 60 destroyers and cruisers. Compared with the suicide speedboats of the Mirage, this number is actually already
Not too little.
Although the Bofors anti-aircraft gun is not as professional as the Otto naval gun, it is actually pretty good at dealing with these speedboats. Therefore, in this large-scale suicide speedboat attack, the Mirage Army is destined not to take much advantage.
An artillery battle lasted all night. The main guns of the Tang Army's destroyers roared all night long. After dawn, the remaining speedboats of the Mirage Army dispersed, leaving only four injured destroyers of the Tang Army that were smoking and witnessing the brutal naval battle last night.
By this time of the war, the Mirage Navy had basically been completely destroyed: its backbone sailors and combat ships had all been lost.
The suicide speedboats accumulated in the past six months have been basically exhausted, and subsequent production capacity will definitely not be replenished. Those fanatics transferred from the army were also eliminated in this battle. It would be difficult to find another group of such people.
not easy.
That morning, the Mirage Emperor heard the good news about the Mirage's great victory over the Orc landing force and the glorious results. He also heard the bad news that the navy had been defeated again and was almost destroyed.
Of course, Mirage Haiping also heard about the army's success: while the navy suffered a fiasco in a fierce battle all night, the army severely damaged the enemy's landing force and wiped out more than 9,000 enemies!
That's right, Mirage Wuk has processed the results of the battle more or less. After all, it was a hard-won victory, so he thought it was necessary to publicize it well.
What makes Mirage Haiping's face dull is that the greatest contribution made by the navy is that the Tang Army's warships did not support the orc troops on land all night long...
The Mirage Emperor knew very well that he had lost the ability to severely damage the enemy fleet and could no longer prevent Tang from landing on the island.
In fact, when the Battle of South Island failed and the main fleet he built frugally was completely wiped out, he knew the result.
It's just that he still harbors illusions and a little bit of luck... But now, the continuous disastrous defeats have made him understand that those opportunistic methods cannot solve the real problem after all.
After a night of hard work, the number of the Orc troops ashore was close to 60,000. The brightly lit landing site ignored the lively sea and land battlefields all night. The hard-working transport fleet spent one night to deliver the 4th Orc Division.
Sent ashore.
On this morning, the total number of orcs who came ashore was close to 100,000. They also pushed the defense line to the area close to the mountains and rivers, and placed their positions in front of the main position of the Mirage Army.
Shanlu mobilized his troops and generals in an attempt to capture some strategic nodes. But he failed in the end: the orc troops lacked heavy weapons and had limited attack capabilities, and they were indeed unable to shake the carefully laid out main line of defense of the goblins.
However, the orc troops were not without gains: they extended along the coastline to both flanks, occupied two small fishing villages, and expanded the landing site.
During this day, the Tang Army continued to bomb the main airport of the Mirage Army, so that the Mirage Army's aircraft did not appear on the battlefield all day long.
The Mirage Navy, which suffered heavy losses last night, also disappeared during this day. In the next few days, they will not continue to harass the Tang State's landing fleet.
On the afternoon of the second day after the Orc troops came ashore, the old No. 4 tanks from the Tang State to assist them were finally sent ashore. These armored troops would become the ace in the hands of the Orc troops, used to cover the troops in breaking through the Mirage Army's defense line.
But what the orc commander Shanru didn't know was that the goblin's counterattack last night allowed his opponent Mirage to "find out" the weakness of the orcs.
The goblin commander has already formulated a counterattack plan for the next night. He is preparing to drive the orc landing force into the sea in one fell swoop!
Yes, Mirage is ready to take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to send Mirage's armored troops into battle!——
