C1270 Russia entered the game (1/2)
Ever since the battle of the Amami Oshima, the reputation of the Chinese as a good defender had spread throughout the entire world. The Chinese soldier who was proficient in soil and wood were able to operate a series of cannons with impregnable quality.
With the cannons as the core, the surroundings were filled with tunnels, trenches, shooting bunkers, and on the periphery, there were even artificial mines, including traps.
Each turret was a small military fortress, and the soldiers ran back and forth in their bunkers, counterattacking while the enemy's artillery bombarded.
The size of the Lumaa itself was not big, the six cannons could support each other with firepower. The accuracy of the new rifled cannon was not something that the musket could compare to.
EdStefanski, who was on the St. Peter narrowed his eyes. The group of dead soldiers in front of him looked as if they were not his subordinates, and the corners of his mouth revealed a cruel and cold smile.
”That's right, that's right. This is the true strength that you should have. The more fiercely you resist, the more important the Hidden Treasure Island becomes … ”Continue to fight. I will not hold any pity for the lives of these soldiers. This is the price of war. As long as we can uncover your trump card, I don't mind killing all of these soldiers …”
Good commanders all had a common trait, which was that they never saw life as a threat. Whether it was towards their enemies or themselves, EdStefanski was one of them.
When the fourth wave of attack failed, EdStefanski nodded his head, ”It's about time, the enemy should have more trump cards. Stop adding troops to the Lumaa and use the Eastern Strait's entrance to enter the water channel.
”Leave this island to the cannon and the rest of the soldiers. I'll take you to get the gold!”
Xiao Letian's group's plan was to have the six cannons remain silent. They would not open fire until the enemy entered the straits.
However, everyone underestimated EdStefanski's vigilance. If the fort was not exposed, if these Russian Army could not discover Xiao Letian's army from the Lumaa within three hours, EdStefanski would leave with his fleet and would definitely not send a single battleship into the Strait.
If that was the case, all of his plans would have been for naught. Xiao Letian's ambush would become a joke.
He could not help but sigh at the Chinese National Aura! At the most critical moment, the artillery's reckless actions brazenly disobeying the orders actually put the war on the right track. Wasn't this too ironic?
Or it could be called god's will!
One after another, troop carrier s entered from the eastern side of the strait. The frigate s pressed down on the northern part of the fleet and aimed their cannons vigilantly at the main island in the north. They knew that there would definitely be more hidden cannons there.
All the suspicious hills had been scanned by artillery. After three rounds of probing, the cannon emplacement on the main northern island was finally exposed. Under the camouflage, there was a greyish cement fortification. From afar, it looked just like a scar on a mountain.
”Reporting to the commander, three cannons have been discovered on the main island! ”The number of defenders is unknown …”
”Reporting, Commander, Captain He Mansiji has sent a signal, to the east have appeared a large number of fleeing fishing boats and cargo ships, the main island's Chinese are fleeing towards the Pacific Ocean …”
”Reporting to the commander, almost four hundred fishing boats and merchant ships appeared on the east side of Amami Oshima, fleeing into the ocean. Captain, do you want to intercept them?”
