Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1133 1134 Not so easy to fight
At this moment, Mirage Sixteen is organizing the "orderly" retreat of the mirage army in his new water city. The defense plan he advocated before to defend the coastline has all failed.The so-called order is actually a spectacular rout.

The main force was almost completely in a state of chaos. After one point was broken through, the other troops scattered on the island could hardly gather together.

The road damage is second to none, and what is really deadly is the continuous air strikes.Actions during the day will be ruthlessly crushed, and only at night can they barely maneuver.

But compared with the extremely fast Tang army, the slow assembly of the mirage army is simply seeking a dead end.Most of them were wiped out during the assembly process, it was as if they were choosing a cemetery for themselves.

After leaving the garrisoned fortifications, countless troops were in a state of field combat, and they were knocked over by the Tang army and defeated.

Now there are broken soldiers everywhere on the island, there are telegrams for help everywhere, and there are troops that are too late to gather.Mirage Sixteen felt that he had failed, he had never experienced such a chaotic scene.

No one can handle the current situation well, at least not him.For most troops, chaos is doom.

Small groups of troops have no way to obtain supplies, lack of understanding of the battlefield situation, and cannot even obtain correct command information.

In other words, the company commanders or platoon leaders of Mirage had no idea what they were going to do, and they had no way to regain ammunition, nor could they contact their superiors.

This is the main reason why most troops can't fight and surrender directly: they don't even know what they should do, so what else can they do?

The Mirage Army Sixteen's previous order accelerated the collapse of the Mirage Army, and the Mirage Army that left the garrison and fortifications was as fragile as a piece of waste paper.A regiment had just been pulled out and began to move towards the place requested by Mirage Sixteen. Half an hour later, they were bombed by planes and smashed into a mess, and then they were rushed to pieces by several Tang army tanks.

Then everyone couldn't find their own troops: they lost the radio, the commander, and couldn't recognize the direction, so they could only foolishly wait for their own doomsday.

There may also be soldiers or small-scale troops who insist on advancing to the previously agreed place, but they will soon become the main target of the Tang army and be annihilated first.

In other words, Mirage Sixteen discovered that it is better to let these troops stay in place than to let these troops stationed on the distant shore march towards his new water city.

If these troops were left in place, they would at least have a matching ammunition depot, some well-covered heavy artillery cover, and trenches and bunkers to rely on.

Now they have nothing. The heavy artillery was pulled out and discarded on the marching road, or it was directly blown into parts by Tang's air force.The bullets and shells in the ammunition depot can't be taken away, they can only be left behind, and the ammunition and dry food carried by the soldiers are very limited, which is not enough to support them in continuous combat.

The fragile logistics supplies, or the logistics supply troops that could not survive the military attack of the Tang Empire, could not take care of the Mirage troops at all.

Equipment such as trucks were quickly paralyzed on the road: the bombing of aircraft, the lack of parts, the shortage of fuel...vehicles quickly became a burden to the troops.

After discarding these cars, the mirage army's moving speed can really be described as crawling.They simply couldn't get together, and the battalion couldn't maintain such a unit.

Walking and walking, there are only 500 people left in the battalion of 400 people.Some people fell behind, and some people fled—after all, many people in the mirage army were young men who had just been captured a few months ago, and their actual fighting will was just like that.

What frustrates Mirage Sixteen the most is that the Mirage Army generally only has regimental-level radio stations. Once a battalion-level unit acts alone, it is likely that they will not be able to contact them.

Usually marching is okay, at least there are correspondents communicating with each other, but as long as they are messed up by the Tang army, the mirage army can't find each other at all.

The 3rd Corps was assembled in advance, and the state is still relatively complete. The problem is that Mitake Jiro led his troops and ran into the main force of the Tang Army in the Battle of Antian Village.

The famous 9th Armored Division in the mirage army is not a vegetarian. If the 59 tanks entered the land of no one, a round of charge defeated the 3rd mirage army.

The rout of tens of thousands of people was still very spectacular. Jiro Mitake was killed in the midst of the rebellion. It is said that the cause of death was that the car was hit by an Il attack plane fired at low altitude.

The 3rd Corps of the Mirage Army, which had lost its commander, was basically gone, and the Mirage Army Sixteen also knew that they could not count on them at all.

The remnants of the 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions that retreated from the South Island were actually transferred to the island as treasures. Mirage Sixteen can only use the garrison troops of Xinshuigang, the battery troops and some of his command Part of the 4th Corps guarding Niijima.

Add up to about 3... Just look at this number and you will know that the Mirage Army actually doesn't even have the most basic street fighting capabilities.

At that time, Mian Wuzhong assembled 10,000+ troops to defend Dananwan, but he persisted for more than ten days. Now he only has 3 in his hand, and he is afraid that he will lose Xinshuigang within a day.

Knowing that he was defeated by Tang Jun's Mirage Sixteen, he gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to live and die with Niijima.

He summoned the commander of the fort and the port garrison, and gave them their respective orders: "The fort garrison is ready to fight to the death... The force is limited, and I have no reinforcements for you. I only want to give you a word, mirage How long the country can last depends on you all."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the officer of the port garrison again: "You personally lead people to bury the port wharf with explosives! The port warehouse! The dock dock! Don't leave anything to Tang Jun! Within an hour! Blow up everything! Not a single tile is left!"

"Yes! This officer understands!" The two officers nodded in agreement while pressing the dagger-like command sabers around their waists.

"After you blow up the port, you arm everyone in the city! Girls and children send a grenade... Men who have guns give guns, and men who don't have guns... also give grenades! When the Tang army enters the city, they must all die with the enemy!" Mirage Sixteen, who was already insane, issued another order to the port guard officer that didn't sound so easy to operate.

In fact, few of the common people have the courage to take grenades to fight Tang Jun with their lives. This order will only waste a lot of ammunition reserves.

But in fact, everyone knows that with this little force, I really can't hold on to consume all the ammunition hoarded in the port.

Since it can't be used up, it's not a problem to send it out: as for whether these civilians use it or not, it's not something that these officers can decide.

Because it is necessary to concentrate on defending the main island, there are actually not a lot of mines deployed on the new island, and there are actually not as many mines as imagined.

After knowing that there was no way to continue to persist, Mirage also secretly transferred the various aircraft stationed on the new island.

Two nights ago, the suicide attack launched by the Mirage Navy actually only dispatched 35 speedboats.Tang Jun Ye Hei Fenggao's statistics were wrong, and some sailors double-counted the same target they sunk in the confusion, so the data of 50 suicide speedboats was obtained.

Before the war, the Mirage Navy deployed a total of 60 suicide boats in Niijima, and later added 10 temporarily, so there were 35 suicide boats on each of the north and south wings.

The night before yesterday, the mirage army only dispatched 35 speedboats hidden in the north. After the suicide attack method was confirmed to be effective, all the 35 suicide speedboats stationed in Xinshui Port were dispatched: they will fight with other suicide speedboats on the island is used intensively.

This is also Mirageping's decision: after finally finding a weapon that can cause trouble for the Tang army, it must be concentrated and used for the defense of the island.

The battle on the new island is just to delay the time anyway, and the defense of the main island is the top priority of Mirage: According to Mirage's decision, they will stockpile at least 300 suicide boats on the main island, and give the Tang Dynasty Navy a good surprise!
While the Tang army was approaching Xinshui Port, under the crazy order of Miwu Sixteen, the mirage harbor defense force blew up their port.

However, due to lack of explosives, they only blew up the docks and docks, leaving only the warehouse area.

Seeing the mirage troops destroying the harbor in a planned way, the Tang army blocked the fleet and reported the situation instead.

Early the next morning, the main fleet of the Tang State Navy arrived at the outskirts of Xinshui Port after evading a possible second night attack.

The two battleships Dongwan No. 1 and Dongwan No. 2 repeated their old tricks, using 380mm main guns to bombard the Xinshuigang fort, and only five salvos completely destroyed the fort.

Originally, this unimportant fort was only equipped with some 200 mm caliber coastal defense guns, and most of the artillery were just old-fashioned 150 mm caliber guns.When shooting against the Tang Army fleet, there was no way to fight back.

However, as one of the few elite mirage troops, the fort garrison did carry out Mirage Sixteen's orders and fought to the last moment.

The commander of the garrison was shot and died. With the explosion of the ammunition depot, the warships of the Tang army entered the port and began to bombard Xinshui City recklessly.

The shelling continued until the afternoon, fearing the suicide speedboats of the Mirage Army, the warships of the Tang Army left the relatively narrow port area before nightfall and returned to the sea.

The next morning, the Tang Army's 19th Infantry Division approached Xinshuicheng along the railway. Mirage Wu Shiliu committed suicide by drinking a bullet, and the Mirage Army surrendered.

The entire battle of Xindao was basically over at this point, but there were routs everywhere on Xindao, and the Tang army was forced to clean it up for more than ten days before it could barely be regarded as "finishing" Xindao.

To Tang Jun's surprise, the speed of the Battle of the New Island was five or six days slower than the Battle of the South Island, including the time to clean up the rout!
Feng Kezhi suddenly had a premonition that this island...should not be as easy to fight as many people imagined.
