Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 233 Chapter 233
Except for these kingdoms that know the existence of wireless telegraphs, and some areas that have heard of the magic of Datang Corporation's telegraphs, no one can believe that a force can be so sensitive and quickly make local emergencies. Responses.

In fact, only 7 hours have passed since the captain of the Jaeger Patrol was killed in battle, and Longgang responded, and the speed of information transmission is measured in minutes.

A few minutes later, Bunas received a message from Longdao, and the military forces belonging to the Datang Group also began to mobilize a few minutes later.

In the combat headquarters, there is a huge map of Dragon Island hanging on the wall. As the military staff officer of Datang Group, Loew is responsible for reporting all the wartime situation to Tang Mo: "The current situation is very opaque. It has been confirmed that in Dragon Island On the sandy beach in the southeast, an unknown number of enemy troops landed."

He pointed to the pale yellow beach part on the map: "Here! This area is not the area we are focusing on development, so there is no defense line and no troops stationed."

The development of Long Island is mainly about refining oil and expanding factories, so everything is being operated with economic interests as the center.Roger is busy building Dragon City, and most of the people transported to Dragon Island are workers and their families.

Therefore, even though Long Island's oil refinery has been put into production, Long Island's wharf has been built, and even Long Island has its own dock, which can manufacture large ships, most of Long Island is still in its original state. , an inaccessible state.

On the one hand, this kind of decision made Long Island's industry develop rapidly, and on the other hand, it also caused today's sudden incident-on the other coastlines of Long Island, almost no Datang Group personnel were active.

Looking at it from another direction, Dragon Island still seems to be an unowned land, and from the perspective of fundamental interests, even if Long Island is already an owned land, someone will still come to provoke it.

After all, it didn't take long to discover this island, and several major maritime powers felt that they had the ability to swallow this rich island alone.

As Loew spoke, he handed Tang Mo the information on the victims: "A captain of the patrolling troop died, and the two people who came back confirmed that the number of the other party's landing troops was between 100 and 150. There should be more than that.”

"The two hunters who returned to the middle of the island claimed to have seen at least 5 enemy sailing warships, so we estimate that the opponent's landing force is about 500 people, which is almost the strength of a battalion." On the sea surface in the southeast direction of the island map, there are five models of sailing warships.There is a magnet at the bottom of this thing, so it is attracted to the map hanging on the wall.

"But we estimate that there should be more than 5 enemy ships, because they will definitely bring in wasteland artisans, so the number of ships should be between 8 and 15." Loew added.

It's just that no one cares about this. Everyone knows that an ironclad ship is almost enough to clean up the enemy fleet, so the few people who attended the meeting seemed to be still thinking about the sacrificed patrol captain.

"This army should be shuttling through the dense forest right now, approaching Dragon City. The opponent's flag is brown, with a steering wheel emblem on it." He picked up a small flag representing the enemy, and pasted it on a random location in the dense forest, Love continued.

He mentioned the style of the flag that could prove the identity of the other party, which was also an important message sent back by the scouting force.

Having said this, Loew took out a few more sheets from the document and handed them to Tang Mo: "We have already investigated and found out that the opponent's flag belongs to the Kingdom of Talun, one of the top four at sea, and its overall strength is stronger than that of the Kingdom of Yangmu. A little higher."

There are four sea overlords on the endless sea, one is Yangmu Kingdom, one is Tarun Kingdom, another is Zheng Kingdom, and the other is Mirage Kingdom which is farthest from Bunas.

It is rumored that Mirage is a kingdom of goblins. The people in it are short, thin, cunning and vicious, and they have not always been liked by other countries.

As for Zheng Guo, it has a little bit of connection with Tang Mo and Li Ao: Zheng Guo is a servant country of the Dahua Empire, the so-called Dongzhen state of the Dahua Empire, Tang Mo and Li Ao, etc. The criminals were basically exiled by Zheng Guo.

And the hometown that Li Ao mentioned is the suzerain state of Zheng State, which is the Dahua Empire.The people there are all black-haired, black-eyed, and fair-skinned.

This kingdom called Tarun, like the Wright Kingdom, has mostly blonde hair and blue eyes.Their navy is huge, with many islands and ports, and they are veritable maritime powers.

Of course, the poplar kingdom, which was the overlord of the sea in the past, has now declined.Because in the past two months or so, they lost 32 main warships, lost hundreds of armed merchant ships and transport ships, and completely lost control of the northern ocean of the endless sea.

The Yangmu Kingdom was replaced by the Datang Group's sea power. The scale of this force is small, but the quality is really extraordinary.

The Datang Group, which only had 6 warships, dispatched only 3 warships, and still attacked in turn, smashing the Yangmu Kingdom, one of the former maritime hegemons, into a sieve.

Loew swiped under the map with his hand, and pushed several sailboat models representing enemy ships directly below the island, and said at the same time: "In addition, their fleet may go all the way west along the coastline, trying to block our . . . so I have ordered the Bunas 4 to search for enemy naval forces along the southern coastline."

Judging from the opponent's landing location, the opponent is likely to be groping along the coastline from the south of Long Island.This seems to be in line with the other party's logic of action - since there are people on the island, it is natural to find the settlements along the coast first, block the assault, or directly suppress and control the other party.

Obviously, the speed of the battleship is faster than the infantry groping forward in the jungle, so the opponent will definitely let his fleet take action.

After Loew finished speaking, he began to introduce the action plan of his warship: "For the sake of safety, the battleship Bunas 5 is on standby in Longgang, in case Bunas 4 misses the enemy warship and puts Longgang in danger. middle."

As he spoke, he pushed the battleship representing Burnas 4 to an approximate position along the southern part of the island.

"If the Bunas 4 does not find the enemy fleet in the expected contact area, it will immediately return at full speed and meet with the Bunas 5." After Loew finished speaking, he talked to Redman and others again. He had already reported to Tang Mo's naval deployment: "Bunas 6 is on its way to Long Island. After getting the news, I have already consulted the master and ordered them to move forward at full speed."

"The battleship Burnas 3, which returned from Nanshui, has sufficient remaining fuel and its personnel are in good condition, so I have asked for instructions and issued an order to divert them to Long Island to join the battle." Then, he continued to add .

After finishing speaking, he placed the model of another warship representing the southward return voyage in the sea off the port of Bunas: "The battleship Bunas 2 is returning to Bunas, ready to rest..."

Knowing that it was time for him to speak, Redman stood up and took over Love's work: "Tiger is not here, let me speak for him..."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the map, nodded to Tang Mo, and continued: "The army's combat readiness is that the 2nd Infantry Regiment stationed on Long Island has all entered the combat readiness state. The deployment of fortifications is mainly to protect factories such as oil refineries and power plants that are in full production."

"We have too many important facilities on the island, and they are quite scattered, so Tiger has no way to organize sufficient manpower to counterattack. He can only put on a defensive posture." He explained helplessly.

There is no way, because the mining areas are relatively scattered, so the oil mining facilities are not around Longcheng, so Tiger has to disperse his troops to ensure the safety of the oil fields.

A battalion of the 2nd regiment was forced to be placed in the direction of the oil field, and the defense was also stretched, and it was a bit cramped.

In addition, there is a large-scale oil refinery, and land for expansion has been reserved here, so Tiger can only place another company of troops here.

Of the remaining two companies, one company had to defend the front to prevent the opponent from directly attacking Longcheng, and the other company was placed at the hydropower station, because it was also a key protected industrial facility, and there was a water supply plant next to it.

After a lot of work, Tiger only has one battalion of mobile troops left in his hands, and there are still many directions for these people to look after.

If it were not equipped with machine guns and new artillery, supported by roads, and transported by cars, Tiger would not be able to defend so many strategic locations.

"The 1st Regiment stationed in Bunas also needs to protect a lot of areas, and I can't spare extra troops to support Tiger..." Having said this, Redman emphasized again.

Tang Mo was also very helpless, this was the disadvantage of concentrating on developing technology and building factories.The combat readiness in his hands is still too little, and it is obviously not enough in the face of a sudden war.

According to the normal development speed, he should now have a security force of 4 infantry regiments, but at present his strength is only half of the minimum requirement.

There are trade-offs, and there will be gains if there is a trade-off. The lagging military development allows Tang Mo to concentrate on developing his own factory.

This is also the reason why, in just one year, he was able to build 6 steel battleships, and he was able to deploy wireless telegraphs in dozens of cities.

However, Tang Mo felt that with the continuous extension and development of his power, there would definitely be more and more conflicts with other forces before. It was time for him to develop his own power in case of emergency.
