The most critical information was obtained just after landing. Zhou Yu immediately issued the order after thinking about it. This operation targeted the logistics system of the southern rebels, especially several large logistics lines under Cook's guidance.
It was clearly displayed in front of Zhou Yu.
"Inform the troops to start taking action at 4 a.m. At the same time, the fleet will turn around and we will meet at the scheduled location!" Zhou Yu issued an order to the staff generals below.
According to his plan, the Third Squadron will deploy a thousand-man naval force. Although its combat effectiveness on land is not as good as other regular armies in Longcheng, it is not bad. At least it is quite easy to deal with the scattered rebels. At the same time,
The squadron will enter the inland river system of the Southern Norr Empire along the coastline. As a response and assault force, it will also be tasked with destroying the enemy's river transportation logistics lines.
Ground troops who penetrate deep into enemy territory will face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. They are really dancing on the tip of a knife. This operation is not comparable to the famous battle of the 1st Cavalry Division. That time it was a cavalry unit with superhuman strength.
Mobility, they don't have two legs now. It is not easy to rely on the mobility of infantry to find gaps in such a large-scale encirclement.
But Zhou Yu is confident. He is not worried at all. You must know that after years of expansion, the intelligence bureau in Jia Xu's hands has already penetrated into the entire area. Coupled with the family system run by local snake Raleigh Carter for many years, it is still difficult to deal with those scattered rebels.
More than enough. Don't forget, this operation involves more than just the Third Squadron, there are two more of the same size!
Cook boarded the Dragon City battleship for the first time. When he saw such a huge fleet for the first time, Cook really didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. Shock, followed by complete surrender.
. He knew that the moment he told the information about the rebels, he had completely said goodbye to the Nor Empire. He didn’t know what kind of attention Longcheng paid, but a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and Cook knew that what was about to come before him was
This is an opportunity that will affect the rest of his life, and he must not miss it.
Facts have proved that he made a bet. Zhou Yu, who had just arrived, and his fleet lacked people like Cook in the unfamiliar Nannuoer area. Therefore, after Zhou Yu saw that Cook was so 'sensible and sensible', he decided to
He was recruited to his side and became his special adviser.
While the sky was still dark, mist floated on the sea. Outside the village, two temporary naval battalions with a total of a thousand soldiers were ready to go, waiting for the final order. This operation was dangerous, but it also meant challenges.
.These soldiers who have been waiting for the opportunity since joining the army finally ushered in their own battle. Although as naval soldiers, they hope to show the power of the dragon flag on the vast ocean rather than on land and that
Help the army to compete for military glory.
Accompanied by the desolate sound of the horn, this commando team composed of naval soldiers walked out of the assembly point and set off towards the distant target.
The Third Squadron, which was waiting offshore, also opened its sails and sailed towards the south.
Zhou Yu stood on the command ship, overlooking the rising sun in the east, and the gentle sea breeze blew the bunch of rosettes on his shoulders. Cook stood behind Zhou Yu, looking at the fleets plowing through the waves around him, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Just now, Zhou Yu received news from the other two fleets. After learning the intelligence obtained by Zhou Yu, they immediately launched coordinated operations. The military operation against the rebels officially began!
Among the speeding team, the 31-year-old Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Liu Ninghai, the commander of the Third Special Operations Group, was looking at the map in his hand. Their first target was officially where Cook had stayed.
stronghold.
This stronghold is very important, and Zhou Yu chose this place as the first target because it serves as a link connecting a large area to the southeast of the rebels. No matter what era it is, logistics is always the top priority in war. So this town
It also became a key fulcrum for the rebels moving north.
Liu Ninghai was an officer transferred from the Marine Corps. Before the navy was dispatched, Zhou Yunfei transferred many elite officers from the resting Marine Corps. Because no one in the navy was better at this than the Marine Corps, Liu Ninghai
He and a group of Marine Corps officers became the ground commanders of this operation.
Looking at the young naval soldiers beside him, Liu Ninghai sighed slightly. Although these soldiers were full of energy, as a Marine Corps commander, Liu Ninghai was still worried. Some methods that apply to the Marine Corps cannot be directly applied to them.
They. For example, in the urgent march in front of them, many navy soldiers did not know how to save their physical strength to the maximum extent. After all, compared with professional army or marines, they are better at fighting wind and waves.
However, Liu Ninghai didn't think those rebels could bring them any big trouble. You must know that even if you are a small fire-headed army in Dragon City, you will still be an elite warrior. These are what Zhou Yunfei has been emphasizing since he founded the army.
, no matter what kind of soldier you are, you are first of all a soldier.
"There are still 120 miles left, order the troops to rest where they are." Liu Ninghai put down the map and gave instructions to the staff around him. Soon the troops stopped, and many soldiers sat down on the spot after stopping and began to replenish their physical strength.
Since the army went deep alone, they could only carry a small amount of logistics and other items, and in the future they had to use the method of fighting to support war to plunder them from the rebels.
On the other hand, the rebels themselves are divided into many forces, including the Byron Empire and the Oakley Empire. They have come together because of their general interests, but don't expect a unified voice internally. There are fragile alliances that can be exploited.
There are gaps, and it is these gaps that Zhou Yunfei is looking for.
In three days, this special operations team arrived at the first target. After investigation by the Intelligence Bureau, it was found that there were less than 3,000 rebels stationed in this town. These private soldiers all belonged to a large local noble, and
This nobleman was the one whom Cook hated with all his heart.
Speaking of which, Cook can be considered a good person. As a commander of the rebels, he happened to be assigned to serve as the commander in this town. But who knew that he would have a conflict with the local nobleman, and he was forced to do so. Cook
The backers behind could only focus on the overall situation and prepare to give up Cook as a subordinate. Naturally, the ruthless nobles would not let Cook go easily, so the only thing waiting for Cook was to escape.
Now, the action team is approaching the town under cover of darkness.
The town was still brightly lit in the night. As a logistics center, a large number of supplies were coming in and out almost 24 hours a day. On the outskirts of the town, several interception and killing units had been ambushed. Most of these teams were made up of veterans.
Led by Marine Corps officers, the mission was to delay the rebels' knowledge of the operation for as long as possible.
Looking at the noble private soldiers in the distance who were labeled as rebels, Liu Ninghai sneered. If those guys could be called armies, then Dragon City would be able to withdraw at least one million troops.
"Move at three o'clock in the morning. Tell all the squads to be smart. If anyone gets in trouble, I'll dig a hole and bury them myself." Liu Ninghai's words were full of arrogance, without any of the so-called elegance of the navy.
The waiting time felt very long. For these soldiers who were participating in the battle for the first time, they were both excited and nervous. At this moment, a large number of officers transferred by Zhou Yunfei came into play. They used vulgar language to calm the nervous soldiers and slowly
Slowly arousing their fighting enthusiasm.
With veterans leading them, these new recruits enjoy conditions that others do not have. At least in the army, such a situation will never happen. In the words of Iron-faced General Xu Sheng, the best training for recruits is to fight, and those who survive will pass the test.
If you die, you will fail.
We can't blame Zhou Yunfei for being partial, because every qualified soldier in the navy is a precious asset. If it is not a last resort, he will not let these elite navy do the work of the army.
Zhou Yunfei, who is far in the north, hopes that this experience of blood and fire will allow the navy, which has been sailing smoothly since the founding of the army, to truly grow.
At three o'clock in the morning, the town chosen as the first target ushered in a group of hungry wolves. They were eager to temper themselves with blood and fire and complete their transformation. Their opponents, on the other hand, experienced a nightmare of hell.
OK.
There was no plan, they just used a surprise attack to directly enter the town. The unexpected battle woke up the people in the town. Many rebel soldiers ran out of the barracks, only to find that there were people running around everywhere. The panic caused chaos
, directly led to the collapse of the enemy's command system. Except for a very small number of elite soldiers guarding warehouses and command posts, the rest of the troops were completely dispersed.
The scattered crowds became prey for the navy soldiers, who hunted mercilessly everything that stood in their way. Unexpected fierce resistance, the one-sided massacre quickly eliminated the tension in the hearts of the soldiers, and they finally survived.
The difficult recruitment period has passed.
Liu Ninghai looked at the battle ahead that could not be called a battle and sighed. He who was a little worried at first was completely relieved after witnessing the opponent's chaos.
The few places of resistance in the town were completely wiped out by hundreds of crossbows. In just two hours, more than 60,000 people in the blocked town, including ordinary people and rebels, were killed.
A fire was completely destroyed.
As for why Liu Ninghai chose to massacre, this was what Zhou Yu specifically told him before leaving.
"Ning Hai, this operation is crucial. Especially when the first shot is fired, you must use iron-blooded means to completely eliminate it. Only in this way can we maximize the fear we give to the other party! So, go ahead and do it.
, remember, your actions are related to the success or failure of the entire plan!"
Determined to let these bloodless navy youngsters go through a hellish baptism, Liu Ninghai looked at the blazing fire, straightened his back, and looked at the rising sun.
