"What's the use of occupying those islands?" Zhou Jiping asked, "Can't they provide any fire support?"
"I guess they want to use it as a support point for landing, and at the same time put some psychological pressure on us." Zhong Wei replied: "It's nothing. When the big thing is done, it will only take a few shots to hit them."
"It's really boring to stay here, why not go up and have a look." Zhou Jiping felt bored in the headquarters. He couldn't see or hear anything, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
"You can't move. You are the commander-in-chief now. How can you move lightly?" Zhong Wei said in a dramatic tone.
"Come here, there is a radio station here. You can just pick up a walkie-talkie and you can communicate at any time anywhere." Zhou Jiping looked at Zhong Wei and said that he really wanted to entrust this place to Zhong Wei, and then go to the observation post above to have a look and even appreciate it.
Let’s see how this naval battle was fought. It’s good to just open your eyes. After all, staying here has nothing to do.
"Wait, wait, you are the commander-in-chief now. If you change your position, what do you think others will do? What if something happens to you, and it won't be all chaos? Elder Muba has repeatedly told you," Zhong Wei said
He said with a flattering smile, which made Zhou Jiping feel helpless.
"I would like to know over there. When General Mountbatten crosses the river and takes a look, there is no one in the place where he bombed. It is just a pile of empty fortifications. Will he get angry and have something wrong?" Zhong Wei said
But my mind has already gone to the battlefield on the banks of the Natney River.
On the banks of the Natni River, while suppressing firepower, the engineers of the Northern Army moved first.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the engineers first used small-caliber guns to shoot the steel hooks hanging on the pulleys to the south bank. Then a steel cable was quickly pulled up. Soon, more engineers slid across the river. Then, they set up
Several sets of thicker steel cables were then pulled to the river and a set of pre-set steel fasteners were erected between the north and south banks.
When the artillery preparations were completed, three bridges built with steel beams several kilometers apart had been completed. The next moment, more than twenty tanks rumbled across the iron bridge. Behind the tanks, there were armored vehicles, cars, and infantry.
The large group of people formed a group and rushed towards the south bank.
"Your Excellency, General, we have inspected the Confederate riverside fortifications. There is no one inside. They are clean as if they have not been used. Marshal Masuari has been waiting for a reply. How do you think you should reply to your Excellency, Marshal?" A staff officer asked Mountbatten.
Ask for instructions
"Those natives must have been frightened. They had never seen such powerful firepower. Well, let's just say they were defeated, and there were more than two battalions of casualties." Mountbatten thought for a while and said, but looked at the few Masu kindly.
As soon as the "imperial envoy" sent by Ali and other staff officers left, he lowered his voice and said to the envoys: "After all, it consumes a lot of money. I will have to ask the marshal for more in the future... Haha..." After saying this, Meng
Barton smiled meaningfully at a few people.
These imperial envoys sent by Masuari have been raised by Mountbatten. They have short mouths for eating people and short hands for taking people. These people have basically obeyed Mountbatten now. See Mountbatten in front of them.
Falsely reporting military exploits, but still pretending to be very understanding, saying some considerate words, but secretly calculating how many actual benefits he can get.
"Hurry across the river and establish riverside positions and supply depots. Other troops will continue to use tanks as the lead and rush straight to Soyo..." General Mountbatten ordered with high spirits.
"Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, the first tank was destroyed by an anti-tank mine.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after nearly an hour of minesweeping and clearing more than a dozen mines of various types, the minesweeper sailed into the heavy range.
Boom, boom, boom. The mortars fired, but these shells were not accurate. After more than ten rounds, they did not damage the minesweeper at all, unless the water splashed on the ship was considered damage.
The mortar blocking fire did not deter the "brave" Montaya Navy. They accelerated the speed of mine clearance and rushed towards Cabela Port.
"The artillery skills of these natives are still very backward, that is, they can hit targets that have been calculated in advance, otherwise they will not be able to hit them accurately. And now it seems that their artillery shells are very limited..." On the command ship, Admiral Utu
Ya reported to Masuari via the radio, "In addition to encountering some casualties when landing, we should be able to break through the enemy's defense line soon..."
"As long as the landing speed is faster, how can there be so many casualties? Can mortars destroy tanks? Those are not cannon shells," Masuari reprimanded on the other end of the radio
"Yes, I will definitely ask the landing troops to speed up their operations. How can those natives have anti-tank firepower?" Utua hurriedly followed Masuari's words, but thought to himself: Those temporary army troops,
Can they get up quickly? Maybe they are so seasick that they don’t even know where to drive the tank? These words cannot be told to Masuari. Listen to Tua, since the sneak attack on Soyo failed, the killer regiment has suffered losses.
After the war, Masuari's temper became more and more violent, and he had already shot two combat staff officers who were not doing their job well. Now everyone in the headquarters is in danger, waiting for good news from the front line to come back, so that Masuali's mood can cheer up.
Feeling better
After the first tank was scrapped, General Mountbatten sent out engineers. But what was helpless was that the engineers who went out did not have any protection. They might be killed or injured by AK47 bullets fired from nowhere.
It's a small thing, but the frightened engineers also slowed down their demining speed. They didn't go 200 meters in an hour.
"How long will it take to reach Soyo at this speed?" General Mountbatten was anxious. He boldly climbed to a high slope, looked down to the south and saw the typical African grassland terrain, with ravines and raised soil.
Tanks walking in such terrain are dotted with hills and ravines washed out by rainy season floods. They often have to turn to avoid areas that tanks cannot pass. And the places where anti-tank mines are found are where tanks must pass.
on the road
The answer was found! General Mountbatten was very excited. Several of his staff officers, including the staff sent by Marshal Masuari, also admired his shrewdness. A new order was quickly issued: "Order that infantry fighting vehicles cannot pass through tanks."
Advance into the area, occupy the commanding heights, and eliminate the native soldiers hiding deep in the grassland. The engineers gathered together and used all detonation methods to quickly create a safe road for tanks and other large vehicles to pass."
