Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Occupying Dongwan Island

The advantage the navy has over the army is that they can go faster.

While the army troops were still gathering and resting, the naval warships immediately headed north after replenishing some coal and fresh water.

Even, because the three Wolf-class warships are cruisers, they have more reserves of fresh water and coal, so they don't even have supplies.

Six steel warships advanced along the coastline, and reached the northern part of Dongwan Island at noon the next day, lying across the open sea of ​​Dongwan Port.

The Mirage Navy's fleet stationed in Dongwan Harbor tried to break out of the siege, but ultimately failed.They suffered heavy losses and almost lost their family property.

Except for a paddle steamer warship staying in the port, all the warships that went to sea to fight were sunk, and Dongwan Island has completely become an isolated island so far.

The Phantom Fleet heading south hadn't arrived yet, and the Dongwan City was already completely infested.After the navy was wiped out, Mirage Kuma found himself out of control of the situation.

Although there are still [-] soldiers, Mirage's deployment on Dongwan Island has been completely disrupted. Until now, they have not figured out where the troops who attacked them came from.

The tragic mirage is still unclear until now, and almost ten countries have declared war on them.

Including the Frozen Kingdom of the Dwarves, the Kingdom of Gareth of the Orcs, the Kingdom of Poplar and Pine of the Elves, and the Kingdom of Dorne on the east side of the Endless Sea, the Kingdom of Wright, the Kingdom of Susas, and the Nanla Empire...

So many countries hunted and killed Mirage's fleet at sea and attacked Mirage's sailing ships, which had already caused incalculable losses to Mirage.

The current endless sea is simply a mess. Naval warships from various countries are running rampant on the sea with their battle flags flying.

As long as they catch up with the transport ship, they will watch the flags hoisted by the ship from the side, and once the identity of the Mirage Sea Fleet is confirmed, they will launch a crazy attack.

Sometimes, a warship will follow behind the larger mirage transport and trade fleet, wait until more warships gather, and then launch an attack together.

How bloody is this battle?The bloody warships of various countries even suffered losses. When attacking mirage armed transport ships, sailing warships of various countries were damaged or even sunk.

However, these are just some exceptions. In most cases, the mirage fleet is completely wiped out, so this also reflects from the side how cruel this strangling battle at sea is.

For a time, sawdust floating on the water can be seen everywhere on the sea, and wounded Mirage ships that have surrendered can often be seen docking at various ports and then handing over their cargo.

During the six days, most of the mirage trading fleet, which basically did not know what happened, has become the spoils of war of various countries.

This can only be blamed for their backwardness, or their bad luck: because the countries that maintain contacts with the Datang Group have actually widely equipped with telegraphs, and the speed of message transmission is completely unimaginable a few years ago.

Who would have thought that the Dorne Kingdom would also declare war on the Mirage Kingdom a few hours after the Datang Group declared war on the Mirage Kingdom?
In the past, in the short period of a few hours, the king's order may not have been transmitted to the royal city... But now, within a few hours, the eight countries have been united, and the war mode has been launched on one country almost at the same time !

Times have changed, Mirage must pay the price for their backwardness and isolation.

In fact, speaking of it, Mirage is pretty good, because until now, Zheng Guo didn't know that someone had already attacked Mirage.

If they knew that the mirage was in trouble, it is reasonable to say that Zheng Guo would definitely take action at this time, but the reality is that they did not!
They never heard that the mirage had been beaten, and they didn't even know that the war machine of the Datang Group was already in operation on Dongwan Island, their former territory.

On the seventh day after the landing on Dongwan Island, the 7st and 1nd regiments of the 1st Division of the Datang Group all landed on Dongwan Island, and the follow-up technical personnel and equipment have also landed in Fengshun City.

A large number of ships are crowded outside the port of Fengshun City. Because of the insufficient throughput of this port, they can only wait for the ships in the port to complete unloading and return.

Fortunately, Fengshun Port has been remodeled by the Mirage Navy. It took Mirage 4 months to build a coal yard here to store fuel, but now it has become a facility for Datang Group to replenish fuel.

There are no large cranes here, nor any night lighting, and the pier is small, and even the population is not enough.

However, this is much better than unloading troops in the wilderness, so the subsequent transport fleet is not unsatisfactory.

Bernard was forced to have no choice but to order the follow-up transport fleet. If the sailboats carried not so large equipment, he could find a place to unload it by himself, and there was no need to queue up outside the port.

Therefore, when the Datang Group's fleet blocked Dongwan Port, the unloading of the Datang Group's transport fleet could be seen everywhere on some beaches on the west coast.

Supplies piled up like mountains on the beach, some of which were left unattended. Supplies worth thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins were just thrown there and covered with a piece of canvas.

This kind of long-distance landing operation does not have a comprehensive pre-plan, so chaos is inevitable.

That is to say, relying on more advanced weapons and equipment and superior tactics, the victory of the battle can be guaranteed.It is a strategic victory that relies entirely on the stacking of tactical victories, and has nothing to do with strategy formulation.

If Nangong Hong knew the details of the battle, he would definitely be dumbfounded: the strategic concept he dreamed of was realized in such a brutal way and through such a chaotic process.

However, the mirage troops could not see such a chaotic scene, because the 1st regiment and 2nd regiment, 1st battalion and 2nd battalion, a total of five battalions, together with the artillery strengthened for them, had already moved north to the vicinity of Dongwan City.

In the early morning of the eighth day of landing on Dongwan Island, the 8st Regiment and 1st Battalion launched a tentative attack. They quickly defeated the mirage troops in front and seized a commanding height on the south side of Dongwan City.

Subsequently, the deployed 1st regiment continued to attack, and at noon that day, the 2nd Battalion captured the southwest defensive position outside the city.

The attack of the 3rd Battalion was also very smooth. As of 2 pm that day, they had captured the enemy's outer defensive positions in the southeast direction.

Subsequently, the 2nd regiment joined the battle, and heavy artillery bombarded part of the city wall of Dongwan City. Mian Wuxiong and Mian Wenmao led the remnants to surrender.

The battle on Dongwan Island is now over. 1 mirage troops surrendered and all became prisoners. All civilian ships and freighters in the port of Dongwan City, including the paddle steamer warship, have also become Datang Group's soldiers. loot.
