Chapter 729 Countdown to the Decisive Battle
No matter whether Kaur Village becomes Kenny Village, or Duoer Village, the Third Squadron becomes the First Squadron, Yang or the Second Squadron, the fate of the One-Eyed Pirates is the same.
Because the former is an ordinary and no longer ordinary village led by the Yongye Army in the Dunao Plain, and the latter is the third squadron of the 100th Guards of the Second Battalion of the First Corps of the Guards Army, the Guards Corps most common component.
And there are hundreds of such third squadrons, distributed around the village, waiting for the pirates of the East China Sea to come to their door.
The timing and mode of the small-scale wars may be different, but the results are surprisingly similar, and most of them end with a brilliant victory led by the Yong Ye Army.
The leader of the Yong Ye army started out with a stronghold, and when they rose up in the Jacob River, their stronghold was unrivaled in the world.
When it comes to the development of the Dunao Plain, it is natural to give full play to its strengths and become the current village castle.
It is not just as simple as the back of the house facing outwards and forming the walls of the house.
It was only when they were actually captured that they discovered that there were many traps inside. Not only was the layout similar to that of a maze, but they could be deployed and defended according to the village lanes, and there were also a large number of tunnels.
There are several large towns with a relatively natural environment, even three-dimensional. In addition to the surface towns, there is also a labyrinth-like dungeon underground.
The reason why Yong Ye's army leader pays attention to the defensive construction of the town is not only for the purpose of resisting the invasion of the East China Sea, but also for the future planning.
The concentration of spells in the entire continent has been continuously increasing, and there is already a sufficient scientific basis. This is no secret in the Yongye army.
The variation of beasts returning to ancient times will only intensify, and there will only be more and more various attacks, and raids on villages will happen occasionally.
Human individuals, most of them are extremely vulnerable in this kind of big environmental change. At that time, cities and towns will be the greatest sanctuaries and safe havens for human beings. No matter how important they are, they cannot be overstated.
In the future, with the abundance of magical energy, it is inevitable that more magical elements will be incorporated into the villages and towns led by the Yongye army. It is possible that the mage tower and the city will not be separated.
The pirates of the Eastern Sea Kingdom were just the first wave of enemies at the right time. Not to mention forcing large towns to activate dungeons, breaking through house walls, and forcing them into street fighting, there were very few of them.
Because what they were facing was Marshal Di Kelong, the number one guerrilla in the Ashan continent, who led a group of mobs to turn the Man Yu army leader upside down with guerrilla tactics. The entire Carth army leader was like an enemy.
After so many years of dormant study, the abilities in all aspects have been further completed, and they no longer rely solely on their own insight to fight.
The most important thing is that he is no longer commanding a group of mobs, but an elite army known all over the world for its ability to execute and coordinate operations.
After the East China Sea Fleet is divided, especially after landing, it will be completely divided. Unless they collide accidentally, they will fight on their own.
The division of troops by the Yong Ye Army Commander is different. There are connections between villages and towns, and between regiments.
It can be described as a global game of chess.
If traces of large-scale pirates are found somewhere, their armies will gather as quickly as possible and jointly attack.
If it is too scattered, if there are less than a hundred people, don't even bother to pay attention to it. If this number of people goes to attack the villages and towns led by the Yong Ye army, it is purely to deliver food, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out by the security personnel of the villages and towns and the militia.
Responding to the call of the Yongye army leader, most of the people who took the initiative to carry out large-scale development in the Dunao Plain were young and strong, and very few were old and weak.
Due to many reasons such as health and temperament, this kind of young and strong did not join the regular army led by Yongye Army, but it did not mean that they were powerless.
The leader of the Yongye army has always advocated the idea that all people practice martial arts and all people are soldiers.
Especially in this kind of development-oriented villages and towns led by military leaders, each village has at least ten veterans sitting in the town, and usually maintains law and order, imparts martial arts skills, and imparts low-level combat skills.
If there is a war, they will go into battle again, assist the villages and towns in defensive work, and even cooperate with the regular army to fight.
The young and strong leaders of the Yongye army each master at least two or three low-level combat skills, and at least one day of militia training every week.
If you meet veterans who are active and responsible, it is not uncommon for the militia to conduct semi-weekly training every month, or two-week training every half year. In this regard, the Yongye military leader has given them enough power. All localities must actively cooperate.
Charge into battle, you can't count on them.
But it is no problem to fight with the wind, or to arrange in a neat formation under the command of those veterans, and to release combat skills in a uniform manner.
That is to say, the demanding leader of the Yong Ye army put them into the ranks of the militia and replaced them in other territories. This is definitely at the level of a regular army.
The number of casualties in these local scattered conflicts is very inconspicuous. There are only a dozen people or dozens of people in the small ones, and only a hundred people in the big ones, and only a few thousand people.
But if you can't stand it too much, when it comes together, it's quite amazing.
By the time Moore, the supreme commander of the East China Sea Fleet Squadron, realized this, it was already too late. Most of his squadron infantry had landed, and they were trapped in the muddy mud of the Donau Plain, surrounded by enemies in all directions. , and it is still the kind that keeps encircling.
It is not uncommon for the Yongye army to lead a small team of only a dozen people, chasing hundreds of people, or even hundreds of soldiers from the East China Sea, like ducks on the Dunao Plain, running around.
In addition to the fact that the soldiers of the Yongye army are strong enough, it is also because they have enough geographical advantages and harmony.
If the unit led by the Yong Ye army is at a disadvantage, they only need to drill into the nearest village, call on the village militia to defend them, and send out a distress signal.
If those powerful Donghai soldiers dared to besiege this village for a long time, they would find themselves trapped in an even bigger circle of encirclement by the Yong Ye army leader in less than a day.
Tian Shi seemed to be on the side of the East China Sea, but in fact he was on the side of the Yong Ye army leader.
The pattering autumn rain turned the entire Dunau Plain into a big quagmire, and the difficulty of marching and fighting in it rose sharply.
The army led by Yong Ye has villages and towns as their backing, and they can rest and recuperate at any time. Not only are there warm, dry and comfortable rooms, delicious food, and hot water waiting for them, but the most important thing is that there is a safe environment where they can relax. stretched nerves.
But once the East China Sea soldiers landed, they had to rely on themselves for everything.
The camp did not dare to set up a large-scale camp, and there was no way to raise the open fire. All day long, the whole body was wet.
In this kind of situation, it will be able to resist for a while, and after ten days and a half months, even the hard-working men will not be able to bear it, and they will fall ill in groups, which will make the already disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides even greater.
After a week, the counterattack led by the Yong Ye army on the river section started after careful planning.
The starting point is the captains and leaders of Theodore who do not hesitate to sell their crew in order to save their lives.
With the guidance of these renegade personnel, most of the plans went smoothly.
The special combat fighters carefully selected by the leader of the Yongye army and the adequate planning and preparation are only one aspect.
The main reason lies in the East China Sea State itself. Their founding time is too short, and their composition is too complicated. The ruling class does not have the means of Yongye Army Leader to unite everyone into one heart. It is just a simple and crude method They are driven by profit methods, and loyalty is really lacking.
Once they fall into a desperate situation, the first consideration is always their own interests.
Like the One-Eyed Pirates, there are only a handful of people who fought hard against the third squadron until they were defeated.
At that time, this kind of fighting situation was not because of how brave the One-Eyed Pirates were, nor was it because of their loyalty to Stupindo,
Purely because they underestimated the combat power of the third squadron, the incident happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to think about it.
Most of the relatively independent teams, like them, found themselves in deep siege, or the disparity in strength between the two sides was too poor, and after there was no hope of escape, they would decisively kneel down and surrender, and the whole group begged to surrender.
According to the information provided by Theodore and the captives, the Yong Ye army leader treated these soldiers in the East China Sea differently.
For those pirate groups that are already in a free state, or the aborigines on the islands in the East China Sea, it is mainly to defeat their will to resist and surrender.
As for those core elites of Stubbs, they naturally spared no effort to strike and eliminate them.
The counterattack started for half a week, and the Yong Ye army captured and sunk more than 200 small warships.
If the whereabouts are exposed, those who can take these captured warships away will be driven away on the spot, and those who cannot be driven away will also be scuttled in a suitable river section, and it will not be too late to salvage them after the East China Sea Kingdom retreats after the war.
If the process of stealing the ship went smoothly and no one's whereabouts were revealed, the people on these warships would be secretly disguised as soldiers led by the Yong Ye Army, and they would lie dormant in preparation for even bigger plans.
At worst, they can also board larger warships or battleships by surprise, and forcibly seize the ship.
The Yong Ye Army Leader's advantage in foot combat is so great that as long as a small team gathers up and stands firm on the enemy ship, the battleship basically does not run away, and even if it is not captured, it will be chiseled. Shen.
In the end, the squadron of the East China Sea Fleet was full of soldiers, and they didn't dare to dock at night, lest the ghost-like soldiers of the Yongye Army would suddenly come up and slaughter them all in their deep sleep.
However, in the eyes of the rulers and ministers led by the Yongye Army, the Wuhe Battlefield is just a subsidiary battlefield, and it is mainly a drag formula, which firmly sticks the East China Sea Fleet Squadron here.
The real main battlefield is still on the 30-kilometer section of the river outside Jiangmen Port.
After two weeks of mine-laying and mine-clearing tug-of-war, the East China Sea Fleet finally pushed to the core area less than two kilometers away from Jiangmen Port.
As long as they advance a little more than one kilometer, the shotguns fired by the ballista on the battleship can hit the city wall of Jiangmen Port.
No matter how strong the army led by the Yong Ye army is, and how strong the individual combat ability of the soldiers is, they can still withstand a huge fleet and bombard it day and night?
Stubin has already made up his mind, this time he will not play any formal seesaw siege tactics with the leader of the Yong Ye Army, as long as Jiangmen Port comes within the range of the fleet, he will first blow it into ruins.
"What are you waiting for? Send me all the water ghosts and demining boats. I want tonight, no, I want to push them within one kilometer of the waters of Jiangmen Port at noon today. If they can't be pushed, I will be responsible for demining. Those idiots of the Izumo will personally drive the boat and detonate the remaining mines in front.” Seeing that the success was imminent, Stubin was in high spirits, and stood on the bow of the Izumo, personally supervising the demining work.
"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear His Majesty's order? Move, all move."
"Idiots, if I can't complete the goal before noon today, I will definitely bring you with me when I personally lead the team to clear the mines."
"Get motivated. Success is imminent. As long as the last section of mines is cleared, the entire Dunau Plain will be left to us to dominate and plunder."
The demining troops of the East China Sea Fleet swarmed out.
The surface of the two-kilometer Duonuo River was full of their dense figures, and the advancing speed immediately increased several levels.
"The effective range of the enemy's main artillery is 300 meters."
"Two hundred meters..."
"One hundred meters..."
"Warning, warning, warning, the enemy has entered the effective range of the city defense main gun."
"Warning, warning, warning, the enemy has entered the city defense. The effective range of the main gun is 100 meters. Whether to fire or not, please ask for instructions."
"Warning, warning, warning, the enemy has entered the city defense. The effective range of the main gun is 200 meters. Whether to fire, request instructions."
The observation post above the Jiangmen port city would send a message every ten minutes, and the nerves of all the soldiers in the Yongye army were already tense.
"Marshal, do you want to fight?" Karlov, the deputy commander of the Third Army, flashed a trace of anxiety on his face, "If the opponent is allowed to push forward, our city defense will also be covered by the opponent's firepower."
"Even so, so what?" Marshal Eriksson said very calmly, "Even if they are within their effective range, can they still break through our defense facilities with their backward attack methods? Since this war We are sure of winning, so we might as well increase the chips on the table to the maximum. The longer we delay, the more comprehensive the preparations will be for the navy led by the lord, and the greater our gains will be. "
"When did Marshal Eriksson like to gamble?" A doubtful voice came from the side.
"My lord." Marshal Eriksson and Deputy Marshal Karlov stood up at the same time and gave a military salute.
Emerging from the shadows was none other than the shadow soul-devouring leopard avatar of the Supreme Commander of the Yongye army, Sean.
This naval battle is related to the initiative of the Yong Ye army in the East Sea.
As the most convenient long-distance communication tool for the Yong Ye army leader, Sean's energy avatars are naturally indispensable, and all the energy clones that can be drawn out have been drawn out.
The Shadow Soul Eater is in Jiangmen Port, the energy clone is with Marshal Di Kelong, the mist-breathing mirage is following the navy explorer fleet, and the Earth Armored Bear and Frost Giant are in the other Four Rivers theater, which can be flexibly changed as needed.
The ace scout, the Thunder Golden Eagle, naturally hovered above the main fleet of the East China Sea Fleet, monitoring their every move.
Therefore, this war has been unfair from beginning to end.
Shi Dubin couldn't grasp the real layout of the Yong Ye Army Commander, but the Yong Ye Army Commander was very clear about the movements of the East China Sea Fleet.
