C1264 Gun bombardment of Lumaa (1/2)
When the Amami Oshima's coastline appeared in front of Molière, the first thing he saw was not the main island but the of the left island from the south.
This was a very narrow island, only two kilometers from north to east. Along the narrow island was a series of mountain ranges, covering the main island in the north like a screen.
”Behind this mountain range is the strait. According to the intelligence report, the village is just across the strait …” If one wanted to take over the Amami Oshima, they had to first take down the Lumaa. At the very least, they had to ensure that there were no ambushes on this island … The war has begun, please give the order of the Commandant. ”
EdStefanski calmly looked at the Islands Mountain Range in front of him, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Let alone Xiao Letian choosing this place, even if he had to choose, he would still choose this place as the Hidden Treasure Island.
The mountains were high and the waterways were complicated. There were many islands outside the main island, so it was impossible to conquer this place just by relying on the navy. After entering the mountains, people would have to depend on the military strength of the army, so if there were enemy troops stationed here, it would be very troublesome.
”Send the order down, Svetlana will lead three frigate and six small gunboats and attack from the east to the north. We will sweep the small islands south of Lumaa to ensure the safety of the south and seal the east entrance of the strait …”
”The St. Peter continues to control the western entrance of the strait to enter the sea to the north, and choose an opportunity to land on the Lumaa … Let me see whether or not Xiao Letian has ambushed us … ”
”Commandant... Won't we land on the main island? ” The subordinate officer asked in surprise, ”We don't have much time!” ”If we waste this on these outer islands, will it affect the battle …”
”No, no, the enemy is very cunning. If we want to deal with them, we have to have the patience of hunters. The more we encounter such a big battle, the more we need to keep our cool!” Remember, the first thing to do is to see if there are any civilians on the Lumaa, and the second is to see if there are any garrison troops on the island! ”
”If there are commoners and appropriate garrison forces, this means that this is not a trap … If not? ”Then we don't want a single gold coin, leave this place immediately …”
The adjutant did not quite understand what the commander in chief was trying to do, and felt that he was being a little too cautious, but he could not help but question the order. The flagman quickly passed down the order, and the huge fleet on the ocean began to adjust its position.
Finally, the long journey came to an end. The Tsar Army that had been watching from above finally received the order to fight, and the deck was now filled with fully armed army soldiers. Even the Queue length's soldiers were checking the equipment of their soldiers one by one.
”Brave lads, it's finally our turn! Let us do a big one and let these eastern yellow monkeys know how good we are! Long live the Tsar! ”
”Check the equipment, bring enough basic ammunition, do not bring food and water. This is an isolated island, with our strength, we can easily break through the defense of this island!”
”I'll repeat, you don't need to bring any food or water. Bring enough ammunition! Let's go ashore and eat these Chinese rice and drink their wine! ”Go steal their gold!”
Countless of soldiers among the soldiers began to motivate the soldiers, mobilizing them before the battle. The Russia Army, which had been holding in for so many months, now had blue eyes, as they crazily shouted Wu La's slogan. They watched as the troop carrier began to move faster, and it quickly brushed past the flagship's side.
On the tall bridge, EdStefanski was saluting the soldiers in uniform, ”God bless you! Brave soldier! Wealth has opened its gates to the east, and now I need the strength of your army... Don't let me down! ”
”Wu La!” ”Wu La …” The troop carrier s were densely packed with people. The excited soldiers waved their fists in the air, and their thunderous howls shook the heavens.
