Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 411 Chapter 411 The Unlucky Second Battalion

The fierce artillery fire decimated and destroyed Mirage's troops completely. After three rounds of shelling, the battlefield became strangely quiet.

The commander of the 1st Battalion ordered a small number of troops to go out for reconnaissance, but they found nothing except the dead body.

Dozens of mirage captives were still kneeling on the beach, and the follow-up troops landed continuously, and everything seemed to be returning to the original track.

This mirage force that happened to appear near the landing point did not drive the Datang Group's landing force into the sea, it just delayed the process to some extent.

Soon, the head of the 1st regiment, as the supreme commander of the army, landed on the beach of Dongwan Island, accompanied by more than 100 other soldiers of the 1st regiment.

With the arrival of the head of the 1st regiment, the landing force finally restored its due order, and the battle plan for expanding the landing field finally began.

The 1st Battalion was assembled and began to search and advance in the direction where Miratakemoto's troops were defeated, expanding the landing field to the south.

The troops of the 3rd Battalion replaced part of the original security forces of the 1st Battalion to station in the north, took over the ruins of the village, and began to search northward.

The unlucky 2nd Battalion continued to be unlucky. Because of the lack of weapons, they were left on the beach as a reserve team to help the logistics force unload the materials and personnel transported by sea.

When the commander of the 2nd Battalion went ashore, his intestines were ruined. He still wanted to destroy the enemy and make a contribution. As a result, his battalion became a logistics brigade and almost became a joke of the entire army.

Since the establishment of Datang Group's security force, the first battalion-level force to be defeated head-on... The 2nd Battalion is completely famous.

Although the three battalions were not fully organized, the basic combat effectiveness of the 3st and 1rd battalions has been restored, so the safety of the two wings of the landing field is guaranteed.

Therefore, the head of the 1st regiment put his main energy on meeting the follow-up landing troops.Because the connection between the coast and the fleet was established, the follow-up work went smoothly.

Dozens of landing craft finally sent more weapons and equipment to the shore in the chaos.Using this kind of small boat that has been used since the Middle Ages to transport modern weapons and equipment, I have to say that Datang Group's landing this time is also full of time-traveling feelings.

At this time, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company with the most complete organizational structure are almost fully staffed, and the 3st Company of the 1rd Battalion is almost complete.The two companies, one south and one north, advanced along roads that could not be called roads, gradually expanding the landing field.

There are no large mirage troops near them, so their advancement is also very easy.

In the afternoon, the follow-up troops of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company caught up with the troops who were setting up the defense line, which allowed the 1st Battalion to maintain the basic strength of the two companies.

Carrying a heavy machine gun, a car, and a telegraph, the 1st Battalion established contact with the regiment headquarters, occupied the nearby high ground, and launched its own line of defense.

The 3rd Battalion going north also established a defensive position at the same time. At this time, the entire landing site was almost 10 kilometers deep, and it was no longer so vulnerable.

The engineers set up several tents at the intersection of the beach and the bushes, and the regiment headquarters of the 1st regiment was temporarily set up in these tents.

The spread map was spread out in such a mess on the ground, and some captured documents and maps sent back by the troops were scattered beside it.

Standing among these messy things, the head of the 1st regiment pinched his chin and looked down at the undetailed map of Dongwan Island, assuming he had determined his approximate direction.

They landed from the south of Dongwan Island to the west, that is to say, they landed here from the sea outside Fengshun City.

The landing place is not too far from Fengshun City, and this is also a landing point that they temporarily chose to expand the results of the battle.

"According to the battle plan, our next step is to go south and capture Fengshun City..." the staff officer, barefoot, pointed to a mark on the map with a stick, and said to the head of the 1st regiment.

His shoes are still wet, and they are left out of the tent to bask in the sun. The leader of the 1st regiment didn't go anywhere. He was also barefoot, and his shoes were soaked and thrown outside.In fact, all the troops landing at this moment are rushing with wet shoes.

"How far are we from Fengshun City?" Head 1 asked, staring at the southernmost target on Dongwan Island.

"It's not clear. According to the map, it is probably between 60 kilometers and 140 kilometers..." The staff regretfully gave a very vague data.

"Can't be more specific?" Head 1 asked a little depressed.

"We don't have an accurate map...it's hard to estimate." The staff officer shook his head even more helplessly.

When they came, they could not find any qualified maps, so they could only make up with old maps—in fact, there are very few maps in this world that can meet the requirements of Datang Group, so Datang Group usually only uses the maps surveyed and drawn by itself.

Even Dorne and Susas, including Lyons, are using the Datang Group's surveying and mapping maps with blurred precision.

It's a pity that so far, the Datang Group has only surveyed and mapped some areas, and these areas do not include Zheng Guo and Mirage.

"It's not easy to draw up a battle plan. If it's 60 kilometers, I can let the 1st Battalion surprise Fengshun City now, and launch a general attack tomorrow morning! But if it's more than 100 kilometers, I have to do it for two days, or Three days of combat preparation...the difference is too big." The 1st regiment leader complained.

"I haven't found a local guide yet..." The staff officer explained in extreme depression: "The map of the mirage country itself is not accurate, basically it can't be used..."

He knew that the captured maps were actually Mirage's more accurate military maps, but these maps still did not meet the standards of the Datang Group's military maps.

The documents discarded by Mirage are actually of no practical significance. In an era when communication is inconvenient, it is indeed impossible for a legion commander to obtain any vital information.

"I didn't find a single guide?" The head of the regiment raised his head and looked at the 2nd Battalion Commander who was a little embarrassed standing aside.

The 2nd Battalion Commander shook his head, and replied: "So far, no locals have been found. The villages have been destroyed by the war. The locals don't know where they went."

"I see, you continue to ask your people to search... Try to find the locals as soon as possible. With them as guides, the situation will be much better." The 1st regiment leader continued to look down at the map while talking.

2 The battalion commander really wanted to complain, to justify himself, and to remind the battalion commander that his battalion was also capable of fighting.

But when the words came to his lips, he finally gave up.Those words of explanation, after a meaningful sigh, were reduced to a simple word: "Yes!"
