"Bastards, bastards! You have no guts!" Shen Hu was so angry that he cursed his mother. He could see clearly from the hillside that there were only dozens of people killed from the flank of the sea. He really drowned them all with just a spit of his own.
More than a thousand people who had organized themselves were chased away by these dozens of people!
But it was useless to scold him anymore. He only had twenty cronies left by his side. If he didn't run away to pick up the people, his property would be completely scattered. He had no choice but to run down the slope and escape with his cronies.
Shen Hu's men fell into a panic-stricken situation, and the marine platoon was in hot pursuit. The sailors were very capable of killing. Someone had a bayonet in front of them, and they didn't even have bullets loaded. The workers pushed the mountain grenades all the way to pursue, and from time to time
Stop and fire a cannon. This will intensify the chaos of the bandits' retreat.
Looking out from the observation deck, the scene outside Hongji is now a spectacle. A large group of black ant-like people are scurrying away in front. In the billowing smoke, a small group of blue-clad people are almost invisible.
The soldiers chased after him.
"Damn, this is too rough." Bekai said in surprise. I remember that during the battle to defend Bopu, the pirates attacked a few times. In some places, they even fought with the navy. This time, let's just do it
It fell apart without even putting up a show.
The sailors worked hard to chase people away. Bekai was afraid that they would lose a few people, so he ordered a squadron of naturalized laborers to go out of the fort to reinforce and capture prisoners on the way. He chased them for five or six miles, and the large group of bandits had been completely routed.
It's considered a retreat.
Many of the bandits had been walking early in the morning and had not eaten a grain of rice for most of the day. They were already so hungry that they were dizzy and could not even run. They simply lay down on the ground and waited for death. They were either panting heavily or lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Some people huddled on the ground holding their heads and even peeing out.
Around Hongji Fort, there were all kinds of rags left by the bandits, people lying on the ground, and corpses. The labor squadron took spears and drove away all the people who could still move. They rushed together to do an inventory. A total of 100 people were caught.
More than 600 people. In fact, the casualties of the bandits were not large, and the bodies left behind were less than 300.
Although the sailors were out of breath, they were in great spirits. Such a thrilling battle was simply a kind of enjoyment. Bekai was very proud - it seemed that he was a military genius. He was thinking about how to write a telegram to Lingao and send it out.
His uncontrollable triumphant laughter made those around him feel baffled.
Bai Guoshi was envious and resentful. Needless to say, the credit for this victory was Bei Kai's. He neither commanded the troops, nor contributed to the war, nor did he strategize. He was purely a spectator. If he wanted to judge the merits, he could only judge with Zhao.
Xue tied for the bottom. Of course, Zhao Xue definitely doesn't think this is a big deal, but when everyone shares the fruits of victory in the future, she will definitely be the one complaining that she is an "incompetent person".
Dugu Sui came out of the labor camp holding a big knife - he didn't fire a single shot during the whole battle, and the bandits never reached the front of Tuwei. This made Dugu Sui, who was originally preparing for a passionate fight, very disappointed. He saw him lying on the ground.
The bandits were all over the place, all in rags and with disgusting faces. On a whim, he raised his Glock 17 and shot the nearest unlucky guy. His head was immediately shot by a 9mm bullet. He was lying on the ground.
The bandits were all frightened out of their wits, and some of them suddenly peed.
The prisoners were being counted and the trophies were being collected. When the entire Hongji Fort was immersed in a happy and relaxed atmosphere, the Haibao fleet arrived.
Fan Haibao is a group of local pirates. According to the standards of the South China Sea coast, he is a very small group. At best, he is at the level of the Gu Dachun gang. Fan Haibao also consciously never engages in distant sea activities, basically
He was active along the coast of Vietnam, and occasionally invaded the coast of Hainan Island and Guangxi. On weekdays, he still fished when there was no business. In short, in the Yalong Bay area, Fan Haibao can be regarded as one of the little tyrants on the sea. Shen Hu invited him to go to Raider Hong with him.
The two sides hit it off immediately, and Fan Haibao felt that he was very confident. After seizing the ships, he sent people ashore to attack the fort together, and everyone met and divided half.
When Tenpao's fleet appeared at the beach, the battle on the shore had ended and the battlefield was being cleared. Tenpao didn't know the situation on the shore. He originally wanted to wait for someone from Shenhu to contact him, but after waiting for a long time, no boat arrived. He was getting suspicious.
In the meantime, I saw that the sails of the large ship docked on the shore had been raised, obviously preparing to set sail. I immediately decided to seize the ship on the shore regardless of what happened on the shore.
"Everyone, be careful!" Zhang Dascara watched the drama on the shore for a long time, but he never got a chance to take action. Seeing pirates coming at sea, he suddenly became elated. He quickly called to attention: "Quick! Battle alert!"
The battle between Tenpō's fleet and the Zhennan didn't last long. Because the Zhennan only had one large ship, it would be easy for the enemy to get close to it if it got into a melee. This was very disadvantageous for the Zhennan.
The Zhennan was not equipped with an engine and had no advantage in maneuverability. It was just that it was stronger than the pirates in terms of firepower and the organization and discipline of the sailors. Therefore, Zhang Dascara placed the Zhennan on the outside of the enemy's formation from the beginning, and never
Let the enemy's ships form a flanking posture, so that he can use the range advantage of artillery fire to continuously bombard the enemy from a long distance without letting the enemy get closer.
This tactic relies on strong ship maneuvering ability. Zhang Dascara is obviously a master at this - he asked the sailors to lower four large oars to provide additional maneuverability to support his steering.
This hide-and-seek battle between the two sides lasted for more than an hour. The Zhennan used the ship's superior artillery fire to hit Haibao's ship multiple times, and soon sank two smaller ships, forcing one ship to be hit by bullets and set on fire.
Stranded on the shore - the pirates who came ashore were quickly eliminated by the marines and militia on the shore.
Fan Haibao lost the confidence to continue fighting, so he simply led the fleet to the Hongjibao Pier, preparing to seize the Pier in one go and let the pirates on the ship go ashore to make a profit before leaving - the enemy is only a big ship, so it is not necessarily possible.
There were more people than him who dared to land ashore. But as soon as his ship approached the dock, it was bombarded by artillery fire from the Fort Honji Fort. The grenades fired from the Fort caused great panic among the pirates. In the chaos
The pirates left another stranded ship, and the other ships quickly turned around and escaped from the battlefield.
The battle at sea brought an unsatisfactory end to the campaign. Of course, without outstanding performance, it would be unrealistic for a single Zhennan to completely annihilate Tianbao's fleet. Although the battle at sea
The results were limited, but both the land and sea routes were essentially rout battles, so the results were not satisfactory. After all, there were only 30 sailors who could be considered formally armed in the Hongji defense battle.
The prisoners were driven into a makeshift fence and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Not much loot was captured during the battle. The bandits were so poor that even if they threw the looted stuff all over the ground, it was really disdainful to the senators.
Gu - it's just a pile of junk.
The most valuable trophy left by the bandits was themselves. More than 500 captives could serve as labor force, and they also took in more than 100 local women who were kidnapped by the bandits. Bekai took care of the translators selected from the local laborers.
They went to nearby villages and announced to appease the people, asking each village to come to Hongji to collect their women and property. In order to establish a good reputation among the locals, they would attract more people to come to Hongji to work and sell goods.
Dugu proposed that Bekai should kill a group of prisoners outside Hongji Fort to serve as a warning to others. "Let the monkeys know how powerful we are and not dare to take advantage of Hongji again!" He said impassionedly and continued to wave with one hand.
The sword.
Bekai hesitated to express his objection: "This is not good, killing prisoners for no reason." As an administrative leader, he subconsciously regards all living people as labor force. Whether five hundred prisoners are used in the mines or
They are of great use in building roads, it would be a pity to kill them.
"How can we let the monkeys know how powerful we are if we don't kill people? Not only do we have to kill, but we also have to kill with artistry!"
"I object, we cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Zhao Xue was most afraid of death. During the war, she hid in the house and did not dare to come out. Now that she heard that the prisoners were to be executed, her sympathy became overwhelming and she firmly opposed it.
"Nonsense, how innocent, they are bandits." Dugu proposed, frothing at the mouth, "If they had won today, we wouldn't have had all our heads chopped off..."
Bai Guoshi felt that there was no point in executing prisoners for no reason, and he opposed it. The execution in front of Hongji Fort proposed by Dugu was not approved, and the bandits in the prisoner camp finally escaped.
The day after the first Hongji defense battle ended, a reinforcement fleet arrived from Lingao. Six I-type patrol boats escorted the coal ship of *** Shipping to Hongji. Two reinforcements were sent to the ship.
The Marine Platoon received more grenades and 50 Mini rifles. The Executive Committee immediately held an emergency meeting after receiving Skade's report. After discussion, it was finally decided that the Navy would set up a patrol base in Hongji.
The base has long-term deployment of patrol boats. In addition to protecting Hongji and escorting fishing fleets, it will eventually form a grid patrol system for the Beibu Gulf with naval patrol boats deployed in various ports on Hainan Island.
The naturalized labor squadron has been proven to be valued for its role in emergencies. In emergencies, the militia composed of organized naturalized laborers played a very important role. Therefore, it was decided to formally establish the Hong Kei Militia Headquarters in Hong Kei.
, appointed Bai Guoshi as deputy commander-in-chief of the militia and Bekai as commander-in-chief.
The person who brought these orders was none other than Skade himself. He came to Hongji to conduct research - of course, the main purpose was to avoid questioning by the Standing Committee of the Senate, so-called "to avoid the limelight".
