Chapter 186 Implementing Island Siege Tactics
In an instant, the river army soldiers rushed towards the transport ship frantically. To this end, they even did not hesitate to knock the people in front away, or shoot and threaten them to get out of the way.
"Buzz!"
The roar of fighter planes became louder and louder.
These fighter jets are the carrier-based aircraft of the Red Alert Navy's Nanyang Fleet, the aircraft carrier USS Empire.
Twenty-five Red Alert fighter-bombers were in a triangular formation. Under the dusk of the setting sun, they seemed to be covered in golden light, getting closer and closer to the river soldiers on the beach in front.
"The air firepower is ready, start entering the starting point of the attack! Each team has it, and use all its strength to annihilate the enemy's effective forces!"
A Red Alert officer piloted a Red Alert fighter-bomber and reminded his men on the radio.
"One team received!"
"Team 2 received it!"
"Team three received!"
"Team 4 received it!"
"Team 5 received it!"
Five red police captains responded one after another, and the sonorous and powerful voices were transmitted from the radio to the ears of the red police officers.
The soldiers of the River Army gathered on the beach saw the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft group getting closer and closer in the sky.
They were all frightened and horrified, and most of them squeezed into the transportation yard with all their strength.
There was an air defense position of the River Army at the scene. Under the command of the River Army officers, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns were set up one after another, with the muzzles facing the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft group in the sky ahead.
Several River Kingdom warships on the sea are also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft weapons, making all River Navy soldiers enter combat mode and control the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns on the deck.
"Fire!"
The Hejun officer stood in the air defense position and shouted an order.
"Bang bang bang!"
Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns roared loudly.
Anti-aircraft shells flew into the air one after another.
The carrier-based aircraft group of the Red Police Army has long known that there is an air defense position here.
So at this moment, they immediately spread out and flew upwards, relying on distance and high maneuverability to avoid the first wave of shelling.
When it slowed down, the Red Police carrier-based aircraft group immediately flew over the Henan Army's air defense position, and then dropped a large number of aerial bombs here.
"Shhhhhh!"
Aerial artillery shells fell from the sky, making bursts of sharp piercing sounds.
Within a short while, the He Army's air defense position was bombed into a scorched earth.
The warships of the River Army were also attacked by a group of Red Alert fighter-bombers.
Aerial bombs, as well as anti-ship missiles, were dropped, eventually sinking a destroyer and three frigates.
Next, it is time for the Red Police carrier-based aircraft group to harvest.
The aerial bombs fell like dumplings at the feet of the river soldiers on the beach.
The explosions were so continuous that dozens of River Army soldiers were killed every second.
After all the aerial bombs are dropped.
Twenty-five Red Alert fighter-bombers used the 30mm-caliber aerial cannons under their fuselages to decimate the lives of the river army soldiers.
Blood splattered on the beach and blood mist filled the air.
It was not until all ammunition was used up that the Red Alert fighter-bomber group returned to the deck of the Red Alert aircraft carrier USS Empire with satisfaction.
The casualties caused to the He Army were a devastating blow.
Originally there were more than 100,000 river army soldiers on the coastal beaches.
But now, only more than 50,000 River Army soldiers survive.
The rest were all turned into corpses with miserable appearance.
There were corpses everywhere on the beach and on the sea, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
There are a large number of transport ships on the sea, which were blown up in the air raid just now.
However, there were still 80 large transport ships that quickly docked on the coast so that the river army soldiers could immediately board the ships and evacuate Katan Island.
When everyone entered the transport ship and began to move away from Katan Island, the river army soldiers looked at the coastal beaches full of corpses, and many people had a hint of fear in their eyes.
More than 50,000 river army soldiers were transported to the East and West Islands.
Plus the troops originally stationed here.
The number of troops that Prince Burrows can now use in the Indo-Western region is only about 70,000.
In terms of military strength, they no longer have the advantage.
However, Prince Bros firmly believed that as long as they held on for a period of time, when hundreds of thousands of troops from the River Country arrived in the Indo-Western region of the South Sea, it would be the time for their River Country to turn around.
In the following time, Wei Junlin sent the Red Police Navy Nanyang Fleet to cut off the connection between the East Island and the West Island of the River Army with its powerful strength.
And blew up all the ships of the river army in the Nanyang area.
Ships from any force are strictly prohibited from approaching the East and West Islands.
Let the two islands of the River Army be isolated and helpless.
As a result, the Hejun inside could neither go out nor obtain material assistance from outside.
Although the East and West islands have dense defense positions and a large number of coastal defense artillery.
But if Wei Junlin lets the main force of the Red Police Army and the Wei Army attack fiercely, he will definitely be able to capture the two islands within this week and capture Prince Bros, the leader of the River Country, alive.
However, Wei Junlin knew in his heart that once he attacked forcefully, our army would inevitably suffer huge losses.
By then, the Red Police Army will have lost tens of thousands of troops, and most of the 60,000 Wei Army in Nanyang will have been lost.
And this is not the result he wants to see.
He must not only win this war, but also minimize the casualties of the Red Police Army and the Wei Army.
"Deploy the Red Alert howitzer truck brigade to the nearby islands of the East and West Islands, and clear grenades from these two islands every day."
"The Red Police Navy and Red Police Air Force also bombed and shelled the east and west islands with all their strength to put more pressure on the river army."
"In addition, letters of surrender will be dropped on these two islands every day. Any enemy soldiers who are willing to surrender will be spared but not killed."
"If an officer is captured alive and surrenders to our army, not only will he be allowed to return, but he will also be rewarded with a large amount of property. The higher the rank and position of the officer captured alive, the higher the reward will be!"
Wei Junlin, who was in the Imperial Palace of the Nanyang Empire, had a solemn look on his face and gave serious instructions to the red police adjutant in front of him.
