, bastard bastard! Gutless Rat 1 "Shen Hu was so poisonous that he cursed his mother. [Read the latest chapter] He could see clearly from the hillside that there were only a few dozen people killed from the flanking seaside. It was true that one person drowned them all with his spit. He More than a thousand people who had worked so hard to organize were driven away by these dozens of people!
But it's useless to scold him anymore. There are only twenty cronies left around him. If he doesn't run away to pick up the people, I'm afraid the property will be completely scattered. He had no choice but to run down the slope and escape with his followers.
Shen Hu's men fell into a panic-stricken situation, and the marine platoon was in hot pursuit. The marines were killing each other, and there was a bayonet in front of them, and they didn't even have bullets loaded. The workers pushed the mountain grenades in pursuit, stopping from time to time to fire off a cannon. Aggravating the chaos of the bandits' retreat.
Looking out from the observation deck, the scene outside Hongji is a spectacle. A large group of black ant-like people fled in front of them. In the billowing smoke, a small group of almost invisible soldiers in blue were chasing after them.
"Damn, this is too rough." Bekai said in surprise. Well, during the battle to defend Bopu, the pirates attacked several times. In some places, we even fought hand-to-hand battles with naval soldiers. This time, they collapsed without even putting up any airs.
The sailors were very enthusiastic about chasing people away. Bekay was afraid that there would be too few of them. Order a squadron of naturalized laborers to go out of the fort to reinforce and capture prisoners on the way. After chasing for five or six miles, the bandits were completely defeated and the troops were withdrawn.
Many of the bandits were walking as soon as possible. They had not eaten a grain of rice for most of the day, and they were already so hungry that they could not even run. Just lie down on the ground and wait for death. Either gasping for air 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 everywhere. The labor squadrons, armed with spears, drove away all who could still move. Come together for a count. In total, more than 600 people were arrested. In fact, the casualties of the bandits were not large, and the bodies left behind were less than 300.
The sailors were out of breath but in high spirits. Such a thrilling battle is simply a joy. Bei Kai was so proud that he seemed to be a military genius. While he was thinking about how to write a telegram to Lingao, he couldn't help but laugh. Make people around you feel confused.
Bai Guoshi was envious and jealous. Needless to say, the credit for this golden victory was Bei Kai's. He has no commanding personnel, no effort to fight, and no strategy. Just being a spectator. If we want to judge merit, we can only tie for the bottom with Zhao Xue. Of course, Zhao Xue definitely doesn't think this is anything, 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 proposed and came out of the labor camp with a broadsword in hand. During the whole battle, he did not take a shot. The bandits never reached the front of Tuwei. This made Dugu's proposal, which was originally prepared for a passionate battle, very disappointing. I saw the bandits lying on the ground, all in rags and with disgusting faces. On a whim, he raised the gfopk in his hand and shot the nearest unlucky guy. His head was immediately shot open by a QMM bullet. The bandits lying on the ground were all so frightened that they fainted, and some of them suddenly peed.
The prisoners were being counted and the loot was being collected. While the entire Hongji Fort was immersed in a happy and relaxed atmosphere, Fan Haibao's fleet arrived.
Fan Haibao is a local pirate. According to the standards of the coast of the South China Sea, he is extremely small.
At best, it is at the level of the Gu Dachun gang. Fan Haibao also consciously never ventures into the open sea. He basically moves along the coast of Vietnam, and occasionally invades the coasts of Hainan Island and Guangxi. On weekdays, when there is no business open, we still fish. 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 attack Hongji Fort together, and the two sides hit it off immediately. Fan Haibao felt that he was very confident. After seizing the ships, he sent people ashore to attack the fort together. Everyone met and split half.
When Tenpō's fleet appeared at the beach, the battle on the shore had ended and the battlefield was being cleared. Fan Tianbao didn't know the situation on the shore and originally wanted to wait for someone from Shen Hu to contact him, but after waiting for a long time, no boat arrived. In the midst of doubt, I saw that the big ship docked on the shore had raised its sails, obviously preparing to set sail. He immediately decided that no matter what happened on the shore, he would first seize the boat on the shore.
"Everyone is taking it!" Zhang Dascara watched the drama on the shore for a long time but never got a chance to take action. Seeing pirates coming from the sea, he suddenly became excited. Quickly alert people: "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 and join forces if it got caught in a melee. This is very detrimental to Zhennan. The Zhennan has no motive installed and has no advantage in maneuverability. It is only stronger than the pirates in terms of strength and sailor organization and discipline. Therefore, Zhang Dascara placed the Zhennan on the outer line of the enemy's formation from the beginning, and never allowed the enemy ships to form a double-teaming posture. This way he could use the range advantage of artillery fire to continuously bombard the enemy from a long distance without letting the enemy's ships near.
This tactic relies on strong ship handling abilities. Zhang Dascara was obviously a master at this. He asked the sailors to lower four large oars to provide additional maneuverability to support his steering.
The hide-and-seek battle between the two sides lasted for more than an hour. The Zhennan used the ship's superior gunfire to hit the overturned ships many times, and soon sank two smaller ships, forcing a ship that was hit by bullets and caught fire to run aground on the shore. The pirates who came ashore were quickly killed by the pirates on the shore. The navy and militia were eliminated.
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 only has a big ship, so he may not dare to board it. Shore and he outnumber people. However, 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 other ships quickly turned around and escaped from the battlefield.
The battle at sea brought an unsatisfactory end to the campaign. Of course, if there is no outstanding performance, it would be unrealistic for a single Zhennan to completely annihilate Tianbao's fleet. The results of Yingran's naval battle were limited, but the two routes at sea and sea were essentially defeating battles, so the results were not satisfactory. After all, the only regular armed forces in the Hongji Defense War were the navy.
The prisoners were herded into makeshift pens and their bodies thrown into the sea. Not much loot was captured in the battle. The bandits were so poor that even if they threw all the looted stuff on the ground, the elders really looked down upon it and it was like a pile of rags.
The most valuable loot the bandits left behind was themselves. More than 500 captives can serve as labor force, and more than 100 local women who were kidnapped by bandits are also accommodated. Bei Kai asked the translators selected from local workers to go to nearby villages to make a declaration to appease the people, and asked each village to go to Hongji to collect their daughters and property. To establish a good reputation among local people, attract more people to come to Hongji to work and sell goods.
Dugu proposed and suggested that Bekai 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 generously and continued to wave with one hand. The sword in his hand.
Beikai objected hesitantly: "Isn't this good? Killing prisoners for no reason."
As an administrative leader, he subconsciously regards all living people as labor force. Five hundred prisoners would be of great use whether they were used in the mines or 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 artistically!"
"I object, you can't 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, she was filled with compassion and 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 it was meaningless to execute prisoners for no reason and opposed it. The mass execution in front of Hongji Fort proposed by Dugu was not agreed upon, and the bandits in the prison camp finally escaped.
The day after the first Hongji defense battle ended, a reinforcement fleet arrived from Lingao, and six Type 4 patrol boats escorted the coal ship of **O Shipping to Hongji. Two platoons of marine reinforcements were sent to the ship, including more grenades and Tianzhi 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 and deploy patrol boats at the base for a long time. In addition to protecting Hongji,
In addition to escorting the fishing fleet, it will eventually form a network patrol system for the Beibu Gulf with naval patrol boats deployed in various ports on Hainan Island.
The Naturalized Civilian Labor Squadron proved to be valuable in times of emergency. In emergencies, the militia composed of organized naturalized laborers played a very important role. Therefore, it was decided to formally establish the Hongji Militia General Headquarters in Hongji and appoint Bai Guoshi as the deputy commander-in-chief of the militia.
Bekay served as commander-in-chief.
The man who brought these orders was none other than Skade himself. Of course, his main purpose in coming to Hongji for investigation was to avoid questioning by the Standing Committee of the Senate, so-called "to avoid the limelight." a.
