It was already 4:45 in the afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west. Smoke was already rising from the newly occupied Jiaziku Fortress and the Russian camp halfway up the mountain.
But the war did not end. On the contrary, these tired Russian soldiers became even more frantic and launched an outflank of the fortresses on the east and west sides.
Nohira Tai's White Tiger 1st Battalion was stationed at the Ojiku Fortress in the west, while Hyoutarou's White Tiger 2nd Battalion was stationed at the Cziko Fortress in the east. When Chu Zhao and the others retreated to the top of the mountain, this became the main battlefield, with the sound of cannons and shouts of death. The sound was endless, and several Russian raids even broke into the trenches and engaged in hand-to-hand combat in some places.
The Russians went crazy. When Stefansky saw the two boxes filled with gold ingots sent by Exxon, he felt dizzy and almost sat on the ground.
"God loves me so much. There are more than 11 tons of gold in just one warehouse. This is really the ultimate treasury of the Chinese people... Increase troops! Increase troops immediately! If I don't eat these treasures, I won't be able to close them until I die." Eye!"
At this point, these Russian foxes have completely let down all their wariness. The wealth trap set by Xiao Letian has peeled off their psychological defenses layer by layer. At this time, even if sensible people tell them that this is a trap or a trap, they will not Can't care less.
People die for wealth, and birds die for food, not to mention that what they are facing is the ultimate desire of mankind for wealth, gold!
Amami Oshima was in chaos at this moment, and the warships on the sea began to unload soldiers one by one. Five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, three years...battalions one by one began to gather on the shore to go to Tang. Heading to Wanshan.
Soldiers from the guard company on the mainland escorted a box full of gold to Setouchi, where engineers would build new wooden boxes, collect the gold and the treasures in the Setouchi Bank, and transport them to Setouchi. Aboard the St. Peter.
There were confused soldiers everywhere. The soldiers pushing the artillery shouted slogans and were sweating profusely. The cooking soldiers were so tired that they couldn't find the north. They threw the whole bag of white rice into the hot water and sprinkled it with a handful. Salt is a pot of salty porridge.
Soldiers who had been hungry for a day often started to get hungry before the food was fully cooked, and those Chinese villages and towns became the targets of soldiers' looting. In the deserted village, the limited salted fish, bacon, vegetables, and rice became food for the 30,000-strong army.
An operation involving more than 10,000 people will naturally cause a certain amount of chaos. No matter how strict the training of the army is and how well-disciplined the soldiers are, people are just people. They can guarantee to act as rigorously as a machine in a short period of time, but they cannot operate in a long-term manner. keep it up.
The military training of all countries actually only requires soldiers to ensure that everything is orderly and does not cause chaos on the battlefield. However, in an environment away from the battlefield, the crowd will naturally fall into the curse of chaos.
The mountain road was narrow and winding, and artillery was blocked at the corners. Stretchers carrying seriously wounded people were blocked on the road. Half of the road was blocked by soldiers grabbing boiled water. The road leading to Tangwan Mountain was paralyzed.
Any qualified commander who sees such a scene should immediately stop the attack and conduct discipline on the spot. This is a taboo in marching and fighting. But people blinded by greed can no longer make rational judgments. On the one hand, they are eager to get Xiao Letian's gold, but on the other hand, they also know that there is not much time for robbery, and the Zhiyuan is on the way. .
The two factors came together to form the overall anxiety of the Russian Expeditionary Force. In the end, Stefanski and Exxon even made the most unwise choice, which was to fight at night!
"All the soldiers take turns to rest, and the officers receive the battle plan and attack in turns according to battalions and groups! Even if we are tired, we will tire these Chinese people to death!"
"The rest of the troops should take a break. Each unit will receive food by itself and start a bonfire by itself... The number of cooking soldiers is simply not enough. You deserve to starve to death if you don't do it by yourself..."
"Where are the first-aid kits? Where are the medical soldiers? Send 120 copies to the Third Regiment... Damn it, where are all the people!"
"Hold on! Warriors of the great Tsar! Hold on, there are hundreds of tons of gold on this mountain, and they are all our spoils! Can't let go, absolutely can't let go..."
The foot of Tangwan Mountain has become a huge and chaotic market. The soldiers' complaints and the officers' pre-war agitation made the atmosphere in the entire army extremely strange.
The army has all pressed forward, and even the defenders on Luma Island have been mobilized in large numbers to the main island on the other side. There are windsurfing boats everywhere in the strait.
"The battle ahead is coming! All ships will deploy sailors and organize three thousand naval reinforcements to press forward!"
"Young men of the Navy, do you only see the Army getting rich and moving the gold? Rush up and show them how powerful we are! Let's show off the muscles of our Navy!"
Just as Stefanski was excitedly issuing various orders to the army, there was always a group of hateful eyes staring at this group of bandits on Gaobo Mountain in the west of Luma Island.
The Gaobo Mountain Fort is the only unexposed fort on the entire Luma Island. A company of defenders controls eight large-caliber fortress guns. The location here is extremely important, as it happens to guard the west exit of the strait. As long as this place does not fall, the west gate of the strait will all fall within his fire control range.
"Damn bastards, just wait. When the Prime Minister's army comes to kill you, I will make it impossible for you to escape. This strait will be your graveyard..."
Just as the company commander gritted his teeth, a breathless voice came from outside: "Company Commander... Company Commander... The telegraph line has been repaired, and now we can contact the rear..."
"Well done! I'll give you a great credit...Immediately send a telegram to Mr. Ryoma and Director Wang to report our situation in detail..."
Amami Oshima is located on the main channel from Ryukyu to Japan. It is an island composed of a series of submarine peaks, which is an excellent terrain for laying submarine cables.
The first submarine cable in East Asia is hidden deep underwater, and the Russians have no idea where it is. At the very beginning, the explosion of the Gongshi Fort destroyed part of the telegraph lines, causing a brief loss of communication between the Gaobo Mountain Fort and the outside world.
Then the Gaobo Mountain garrison began to secretly send maintenance soldiers to take the initiative to repair it. Unfortunately, the accident site that was blown up happened to be under the surveillance of the Russian garrison, and the telegraph line could not be reconnected at all.
It was not until the crazy Stefanski issued the night battle order and the general attack order that a large number of soldiers from Luma Island moved to the other side. Only then did the Gaobo defenders have the opportunity to repair the original line.
The beeping telegram sounded again, and soon Master Longshi and Wang Huaiyuan on Dezhi Island received the latest news from Gaobo Mountain.
"Even the defenders on Luma Island have been mobilized? Are the warships entering or leaving the strait now? Great, these madmen must have decided to fight at night. They are completely trapped..." Wang Huaiyuan geared up excitedly.
"Just send a telegram to Xiao Hexin and ask him to resist appropriately. Prepare to retreat from the north slope! The iron cage is reserved for Rakshasa ghosts. Let's not get addicted..."
Note: The fourth update is to make up for the previous debt!
