The winner can always be proud. The 1st Battalion Commander glanced at Mirage Wuchun, who was following him carefully, and continued to walk forward with disdain.
He was not very familiar with things in the city, so he could only bring this captive officer with him so that he could introduce the basic situation in the city.
As he walked, Battalion Commander 1 was disgusted. He saw a row of corpses hanging from an archway on the street.
It was a row of corpses of Zheng people, all wearing military uniforms. It looked like they had been hanging here for some time.
1. The battalion commander paused, looked at Mirage Wuchun, and asked in a long voice: "I said, what does this mean?"
Xu Wuchun cautiously raised his head and glanced at the hanging corpse, and hurriedly explained: "The Zheng people were dissatisfied with our army's occupation and attacked our patrolling soldiers in the middle of the night, so we killed some prisoners of war and hung them here to warn those
Diehards…”
"That's a good idea." A fierce smile appeared on the face of the 1st Battalion Commander: "I really should hang you up there!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his adjutant: "Let the Mirage prisoners of war put down the bodies and bury them properly."
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and said, "Did you hear that?"
The officer behind him also nodded, and then trotted away.
The 1st battalion commander looked back at the increasingly nervous Mirage Wuchun, snorted and continued walking forward. How to deal with these prisoners, he must obey the orders from above, not his own temper.
On the other side, after Bernard learned that the 2nd regiment had arrived in Fengshun City and that the port had been captured, he immediately turned the transport fleet that had not yet finished unloading to Fengshun City.
There was no other way. It was too slow to unload heavy weapons and equipment in the wilderness. After all their efforts, they were able to get half of the heavy equipment carried by the 1st Regiment ashore.
These equipment are not weapons such as artillery and machine guns. Due to combat needs, most of these weapons have been sent to the shore first to participate in the war.
The remaining equipment is very large and difficult to transport, and it is not easy to load and unload using a landing boat. It is really a problem.
These include carriages for transportation, cars, generators, large field tents, spare weapons and ammunition, etc.
The materials that arrived at Fengshun Port with the 2nd Regiment were more and more messy: these troops even brought cement and some steel bars to renovate and strengthen the port, repair port facilities, and expand port throughput...
The following fleets carried even more chaos. Some ships carried production machinery, as well as large generators and boiler equipment, and they seemed to have developed in the direction of the production and construction corps.
These are all materials prepared to transform Fengshun City or Dongwan Island into an advance base. More than half of them are no longer prepared for the battle of Dongwan Island.
Because in Tang Mo's view, the battle of Dongwan Island, in which Datang Group's 1st Division fought against the troops stationed on the island of Mirage, was actually a trivial matter.
He did not think that the 1st Division would lose the battle at all, and he did not even think that the 1st Division would suffer heavy losses in this battle.
What's more, Datang Group regards Dongwan Island as a springboard to attack Zheng Guo, and the follow-up troops have also begun to move here.
According to Tang Mo's attack plan, Datang Group will accumulate up to 6 to 7 divisions on Dongwan Island in the future, with a total force of close to 100,000 people.
A large number of warships, air force airships and even fighter jets were also deployed. How could a modern force of this size be defeated by an army that was even more backward than the Qing Dynasty?
Therefore, in Tang Mo's view, the most difficult thing in the battle of Dongwan Island is not to capture Dongwan Island, but how to build Dongwan Island as soon as possible.
Because of this, Tang Mo had already started thinking about transporting the subsequent construction teams to the island before the battle on Dongwan Island was completely over.
The civilians in Fengshun City were still quite wary of the unknown troops who invaded the city. Liu Zhu, who followed the troops all the way to Fengshun City, originally wanted to say goodbye to Cao Fei and go back, but when he saw the sky
After the airship, I couldn’t bear to leave.
Even just looking at it from a distance, he was full of curiosity about this huge Kirov airship flying in the sky.
Having lived on Dongwan Island all his life, he had never seen such a huge machine flying in the sky. At this moment, he thought of Cao Fei's words again, and he looked forward to his future life a little more.
In the city, beside the archway across the street, a group of Mirage captives carrying ladders were busy. They carried down the mummies hanging on the archway. They laid them out one by one, with some tattered clothes covering them.
.
There were some courageous civilians watching all this. At that time, they dared not speak out about the abuse of prisoners. Now that they saw these corpses being taken off, they felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.
Some people were sobbing gently, while others were just watching blankly. The whole city was submerged in a strange silence, and no sound could be heard.
…
In Dongwan City, Mirage Martial Bear walked around anxiously in his headquarters. He already knew the news about the fall of Fengshun City.
Because the fleet stationed in the port of Fengshun City had already received news before the entire army was annihilated, reporting that the defenders had surrendered and that they were being flanked.
Mirage Martial Bear actually doesn't care about the remaining fleet in Fengshun City. What he cares about is the shocking news sent by the fleet: the enemy has a machine that can fly in the sky. It is huge.
Like a shark.
This kind of war machine flying in the sky made Mirage Wuxiong feel unprecedented pressure: because he was too familiar with these things, Mirage defeated Zheng Guo and captured Dongwan Island with the help of new weapons.
This time, the enemy took out weapons flying in the sky. Wouldn't the Mirage also face the risk of defeat?
Thinking of this, Mirage Wuxiong became extremely anxious, so he could only walk in circles like this, seeing Mirage Wenmao next to him equally upset.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "General! You, you have to think of a way! Once Fengshun City is lost, the enemy will soon point their finger at us!" Mirage
Mao was a civil servant, and what he feared most was that Dongwan City had become a battlefield.
Originally, the Mirage Kingdom occupied Dongwan Island, and he, Mirage Wenmao, risked everything to get the opportunity to make money here. Who would have thought that such a lucrative position would turn into a hot potato.
Earlier, which of the islands that had been occupied by Zheng was not rich in oil and water? Which of the officials sent to these places did not make a lot of money?
But who could have imagined that when it was his turn to be rich in literature, his life suddenly became miserable. An island as big as Dongwan Island was about to be lost...
"What can I do? Ah?" Mirage Wuxiong frowned and looked at Mirage Wenmao: "I have already sent the telegram asking for help, and I have done everything I can do. What do you think I can do?
?”
He has actually done everything he can: there are 30,000 troops on the island, and now one-third has been lost.
Now, almost all the troops he can assemble are near Dongwan City. With 20,000 troops holding on to the city, the rest can only be left to fate.
The Mirage Kingdom is not particularly secluded in information, at least it is much better than their old rival Zheng Guo. After hearing Mirage Wuxiong’s report, they immediately judged some basic situations.
The invading enemy troops must be equipped with new bolt-action rifles, and even so-called heavy machine guns that Cyric can also produce.
These weapons and equipment are expensive, and although their performance is good, Mirage really does not have the extra funds to install them on a large scale.
But the war has broken out, and Mirage had to bite the bullet and re-order a large number of new weapons from Cyric in order to protect Dongwan Island and preserve the fruits of its victory.
On the one hand, the senior officials of the Mirage Kingdom told Mirage Wuxiong about the new weapons, telling him not to be afraid and to resolutely defend Dongwan City at all costs.
On the other hand, the senior officials of the Mirage Kingdom also assured Mirage Wuxiong that reinforcements equipped with new weapons would be shipped to Dongwan Island later, so that he could rest assured.
With these two protections, Mirage Martial Bear finally felt confident, and then he continued to mobilize his troops and prepared to fight to the death in Dongwan City regardless of the cost.
But after all, Mirage Wuxiong had no combat experience with new weapons, and he didn't know how to dig trenches and other tactics, so he didn't make good use of the precious time of waiting.
There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, even if he knows this tactic, the 20,000 fusilier soldiers in his hands cannot rely on trenches to fight, right?
New tactics are created by new weapons. It is impossible to use new tactics with old weapons.
Do you think second-generation or third-generation aircraft would die miserably if they penetrated defenses like the F22? Do you think it would be possible to successfully intercept the DF-17 with standard Type 2 missiles?
Therefore, Mirage Bear gathered his troops and set up camp, just like a fool, waiting for his reinforcements and the arrival of the enemy...
On the other side, the troops of the 1st and 2nd regiments had begun to prepare and assemble, heading north along the road towards Dongwan City.
Three days have passed since the 1st Regiment landed on Dongwan Island, and according to their current marching speed, it is estimated that it will take another three days to reach Dongwan Port.
Sadly, the airship troops originally planned to follow the battle had to stay put and were unable to participate in the battle due to problems such as malfunctions and insufficient filling gas.
However, the navy is as stable as ever - after Fengshun City replenished the coal reserves of the Mirage Navy, the Datang Group's naval fleet went north as planned to search for the remaining fleet of the Mirage Navy and start a decisive battle.
As for the Mirage Navy, a reinforcement fleet is also heading south to reinforce Dongwan Island. This fleet consists of 15 paddle-wheel warships as the main force, and it also brings along almost all the sailing warships that can be found.
The commander of this fleet is the man from Mirage who previously attacked the Datang Group's merchant fleet.
