Chapter 272: Tear the Pirates to Pieces! (Please Subscribe)
The pirates in the New World never dreamed that the Navy's offensive would be so fierce. In just two days, more than ten islands were captured by the Navy. It can be seen that the Navy did not intend to occupy the islands. All the pirates on the captured islands were found and killed. The pirates who came to become famous and follow the Three Emperors were naturally not so bloody. As long as the pirates stationed on many islands saw the Navy warships, they would immediately set sail, leaving only an empty island.
Sakaski and Raleigh's attack was unusually smooth for a while, without any obstacles.
Newsbird quickly sent the battle reports of the past few days to the world. Now the eyes of the whole world are focused on Raleigh and Sakaski. Even if the World Government wants to curb the Navy's offensive now, it can't do it.
At night, Sakaski and Raleigh talked on the phone.
Raleigh, it will be difficult to fight tomorrow. "
Roley nodded and answered Sakaski. In fact, the attack during the day today has lost the invincible momentum of the previous two days. The most obvious thing is that the pirates no longer flee at the sight of the wind, but use the various fortifications on the island to start a confrontation with the navy.
Although the current pirate power is still weak compared to the navy, it is obvious that the three pirate emperors have discussed it.
It is very likely that they will face the real members of the Three Emperors Pirate Group tomorrow.
But neither Sakaski nor Rowley took it seriously. As a general, they naturally have the confidence to fight.
It's just a group of three emperors. It's not that they can't beat them. So let's focus on training tomorrow.
The next day, Padre Port.
The navy's fleet lined up, with the black muzzles facing the port in front.
No matter Both the navy and the pirates have been deployed, and they are finally going to start a head-on fight.
Padre Port has two thousand pirates, an elite pirate group that came out of the second half of the New World. Most of them are well-armed, not to mention that the Red Hair Pirates also provided a lot of heavy artillery.
They are confident that Padre Port will not be lost in their hands, and they believe that they can become famous in one battle. Some people hope to take this opportunity to take their status a step further.
Boom!
The roar of artillery resounded in the waters of Padre Port, and the artillery on the warships fired together, turning the originally neat port into a sea of fire.
One shell after another landed on the island, raising clouds of dust.
At this moment, the pirates on Padre Port have experienced the chaos after the first round of bombardment. Under the command of several big pirates Regained composure.
With the help of the fortifications that had been prepared long ago, they hid their bodies behind to avoid the navy's bombardment.
There was no way, caliber and range were the truth.
The heavy artillery on the navy's warships, both in caliber and range, far exceeded the artillery in the hands of the pirates. Since Doflamingo was captured and the Don Quixote family was destroyed, a large market for underground smuggling of arms has been vacant. The pirates could not get effective supplies and could only use the artillery that was a little backward before.
Rowley stood on the deck and looked at the port with artillery fire in the distance. He was not shaken at all. His coming here meant that this place would definitely be captured.
This level of offensive and defensive battle is suitable for naval training.
Those experienced vice admirals stood at the forefront, commanding the warships and pirates to bombard while The experience and tactics of these years were handed over to the young generals behind them.
Many vice admirals are very strong personally, but their command ability for this kind of offensive and defensive battles and naval battles is relatively weak.
Including Gion, Enelu, etc., they either win by personal force most of the time, or stay in Marinford most of the time, responsible for public security issues.
For this kind of battle scene, they are very unfamiliar.
However, as the battle continues, they continue to absorb the experience of those vice admirals like a sponge.
As for Mouse and Cleveland, they don’t need it. The two of them climbed up from soldiers themselves, and this level of artillery bombardment is not a big deal for them.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the sky gradually darkened.
The roar of the artillery continued until late at night.
After a whole day of fierce artillery battles, the navy side had a great advantage with caliber and range. Although they did not capture Padre Port, the navy soldiers quickly learned experience in this high-intensity attack.
Some faces that looked very young fell asleep after a hard day.
They had never experienced such a fighting style. In the past, when fighting with pirates, most of the time they just chased after the pirates and fired a few shells at their backs.
They were not even as experienced as some pirate groups that often fought at sea.
However, such fighting could be considered normalized in the future.
The navy would never face a chasing battle like the public security in the future.
After this battle, both Raleigh and Sakaski knew that they would face the Revolutionary Army next.
The Revolutionary Army would never give up its territory as easily as the pirates.
The enemies they would face in the future would only be more tenacious than the pirates they faced today.
"Raleigh, what are you thinking about?"
Late at night, Gion came to Raleigh's warship, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes when he saw Raleigh, who had not rested yet.
Gion has lost its former splendor and beauty. After a day of conducting, the whole person looks gray. Although the algae has been washed once, the smell of gunpowder can still be clearly smelled on the body.
Raleigh placed the small flag in his hand on the sand table and then said;
Gion, look here. "
On the sand table built by Raleigh in the office, two navy flags stretched out for a long distance.
They were like two extremely sharp swords, tearing apart the pirates' blockade and breaking into the pirates' hinterland.
However, the situation is not as optimistic as the world thinks. The two navies are now far apart. It can be said that both navies are alone in the upper reaches.
As long as Kaido in the middle unites with any of the Three Emperors to cut off the navy's retreat, then that navy will face a situation of flanking attacks from both front and rear.
Gion could see it, but she chose to trust Raleigh's judgment.
"What do we do next?"
Raleigh looked at his watch and said;
“The time is almost up, and now we have initially achieved our goal.
I think the pirates are also well prepared, but the three emperors are not of the same mind and each has their own ideas. I guess they will still waste some time. "
The most important thing in blitzkrieg is speed, which is to take advantage of the enemy's information gap and inherent thinking. Kaido must know that he is in the middle and can raise prices on the other two Three Emperors. If he doesn't open his mouth like a lion, it is definitely not Kaido's character.
As a pirate who can become the Three Emperors, apart from Shanks who may give up profits, Charlotte Lingling will never agree to give up the territory in her hands unless the navy hurts her.
The time they discuss is the time it takes to see how far the naval battle can be achieved.
Now it seems that there is not much time. Maybe Raleigh will meet all the members of the red-haired pirates tomorrow.
In the new world, a big red ship is sailing in the night in the unknown sea.
The people on the boat are all the elites of the red-haired pirates.
At this moment, they were surrounding the campfire, reading the intelligence sent from the front.
Shanks looked very serious, and his tone was not as confident as before:
The navy's offensive was too smooth. Even if Raleigh led the team, the progress was too scary. "
If the fight continues like this, maybe Port Padre will fall into the hands of the navy tomorrow.
They have no hope for Port Padre, because the current high-level naval combat capabilities are basically not available.
Hands, Yi only relied on the artillery to occupy an advantageous position.
Beckman puffed on a cigarette and said:
I contacted Charlotte Lingling. They also suffered heavy losses. Admiral Akainu's attacks were even more ferocious. He would personally take action on any island that had not been captured for more than an hour. "
‘Now the cadres of the Charlotte family are urgently moving to the front of Sakaski, hoping to block Sakaski’s offensive. "
'But at present, it seems that the navy is using the lives of pirates to train its troops. They only let high-level combat forces take action when the attack is frustrated. "
Shanks bit off a piece of barbecue viciously and said angrily;
Kaido is a bastard, and I still can’t tell the form. If the navy cripples our power, the next step will definitely be to beat him. Who will be able to help him then? "
The cigar from Beckman's mouth suddenly fell to the ground.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had guessed something.
Beckman, what happened? '
Shanks naturally saw Beckman's face, and he was curious about what could make his right-hand man look like this.
Ignoring the cigar that fell on the ground, Beckman quickly took out a chart, lay on the ground, and marked the navy's marching direction on the chart with a pen.
Everyone in the red-haired pirate group gathered around and watched Beckman's strange movements.
After seeing that the Navy's route was marked, they still didn't understand what the Navy was doing. Showing off force or training?
Beckman threw away the pen in his hand, lit another cigar from his arms, took a deep breath and said:
"I figured it out."
The Navy's goal from beginning to end was not us, they were here.
Beckman's pen drew a circle in the center of Kaido's territory.
This is Kaido's base camp, and the navy has now reached Kaido's back. Although Kaido can cut off a navy's retreat, if the navy gathers here and all pounces on Wano, then Kaido will No one could rush to save him. "
Beckman's words shocked everyone on the ship. They had never seen such a strange tactic before.
The pirates basically fought on their own and had not experienced a few decent battles, so they had no tactics.
Even most pirates who saw the march route were not aware of the problems with this navy's tactics.
"If that's the case, then Kaido is in danger."
The red-haired pirates were silent for a while. They still need four days to reach Padre Port. If they go to Kaido, it will take even longer. Even Charlotte Lingling can't make it there in a short time.
The destruction of Kaido's power is already a definite fact.
No, you have to tell Kaido, otherwise the pirates will be eaten by the navy step by step in the future. "
The strongest among pirates have continued to fall over the years, and due to the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, there are now almost no people in the first half of the Grand Line and around the world who go to sea to become pirates.
Nowadays, apart from the old pirates who went to sea before, only the people from the New World are left as pirates, but how many people can there be in the New World?
It can be said that if the Navy gets rid of Kaido, there will not be much time left for the New World Pirates.
Full speed ahead, I'm telling Kaido and Charlotte Lingling now. "
In the early morning of the next day, when the sleeping pirates woke up, they suddenly discovered that the navy ship was already approaching.
The pirates who had been left on guard had been killed at some point.
A large number of naval soldiers rushed onto the beach through the sea water.
"Don't sleep! The navy is attacking!"
"Quick, quick, get up and fight for me!"
"Shoot, shoot!"
The pirates who had just woken up did not have much strength in their bodies. They could only drag their tired bodies, pick up the weapons in their hands and shoot randomly.
The navy soldiers were not as tired as they were, even though they had also experienced yesterday's battle.
However, there is still a big gap between the elites and ordinary pirates. They take turns to fight, and the pirates can only fight with their own physical strength, and those powerful pirates will not contribute.
Nowadays, most of those killed by the navy are ordinary pirates.
‘Let me go, I surrender! "
I surrender, Lord Navy, don’t kill me. "
This kind of loosely organized and chaotic structure will not have the courage to fight once it encounters real difficulties.
Many young pirates with low strength dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, hoping that the navy would not kill them. However, they ignored one thing.
That is, the character of the leading general will affect the character of the soldiers fighting below. Therefore, pirate surrender is not recognized here in Raleigh.
Even after he put down his weapons, he was still regarded as an enemy by the navy soldiers.
The elite pirates who had stored up their physical strength last night wanted to use their own strength to break the offensive edge of the navy soldiers. However, as soon as they set off, they were targeted by the navy generals.
The brigadier generals, major generals, and lieutenant generals took action one after another to stop the officers, deputy captains, and captains of these pirate groups.
Even if they were extremely angry and wanted to break through the blockade, it would be to no avail.
The low-level pirates behind them can only become lambs to be slaughtered in the hands of well-equipped and brave naval soldiers.
Surrounded, cut, and destroyed piece by piece.
Even if the battle is not over yet, everyone can decide the outcome of this battle.
Some of the more powerful pirates wanted to escape, but also fell into various sieges.
Raleigh didn't take action.
He no longer needs the military merit brought by killing enemies on the battlefield, and there is no need to compete with ordinary generals or even soldiers.
The occasional action was just to prevent some soldiers from dying at the hands of pirates.
When the sun was halfway up and less than nine o'clock, the large-scale battle was over.
The navy soldiers began to clean the battlefield, collect the remains of the dead soldiers, gather the remaining pirate corpses together, and burn them on fire.
Enel, Barrett, and Cleveland were assigned to annihilate the escaping pirates. Each of them took a part of their elites to search for the escaping pirates in every corner of the island. The elite pirates' ships had been destroyed, and they could only survive on the island. Hiding on the ground, it is impossible to run too far,
Enelu used the power of the Heart Network to pull out the pirates one by one from the cave and kill them.
At about eleven o'clock, Raleigh ordered everyone to board the army and prepare for the final battle. The warships rushed straight to Kaido's base camp!
