Chapter 330 The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is blowing on Cutthroat Island
The speedboat carried a rolling silver water ribbon, drew an enchanting curve on the vast Atlantic Ocean, and sped away toward the northwest.┃26nbsp;┃
It is about 260 nautical miles from Laayoune Beach to Cutthroat Island. By noon, the somewhat eerie Cutthroat Island had already vaguely appeared in everyone's sight.
From a distance, Cutthroat Island looks like a slender scimitar, lying calmly in the vast blue ocean. Cutthroat Island is surrounded by clouds and mist, and at a glance you can only see a vast expanse of white. However, here it is.
Amidst the layers of dense white mist, there was a hint of strange blood-red color, which made people feel frightened.
"Hey, it's just like the legend. This island looks a bit bloody and terrifying." Liehuo held the telescope and carefully observed the situation on Cutthroat Island. Unfortunately, the island was shrouded in heavy fog, and Liehuo
I just took a vague look at it. I am afraid that the true appearance of Cutthroat Island can only be known when everyone lands on the coast.
Ye Feng put his hands behind his back and looked up at the very strange white mist. "I estimate that those few faint traces of blood red should be due to the quality of the soil. Generally speaking, soil and stones with a relatively high iron content
, will appear red.”
"That's what I guessed too." Liehuo nodded and said. "The Deseta Islands were formed by the eruption of submarine volcanoes. It is likely that a large amount of iron elements were deposited on the islands, which is why the entire island became blood-like.
's red."
"It doesn't matter whether it's red earth or not. In two days, the legend will become a reality." Wo Lid stretched his waist and said lazily. "There are 1,800 enemies in total, and their blood will definitely...
Dyeing Cutthroat Island red."
Van Gogh held a cigar in his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, then stretched out his hand to make a "wiping neck" gesture to Wollid, and said with a smile. "When we left Cutthroat Island, we also hung a few corpses from the trees.
This way it looks more in line with the legend.”
Ever since Ye Feng told Li Huo that he was going to command the battle, Li Huo seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. He no longer laughed and chatted with people. During this period of sailing at sea, Li Huo
He kept running forward and backward on the deck, sometimes observing the pursuers behind him, sometimes observing the nearby ocean currents, and sometimes observing the distribution of islands along the way. He kept recording in his notebook and drew a detailed map of the sea conditions.
.
No one has any objections to Ye Feng's arrangement. First of all, everyone is good friends. At this time, it is natural to choose one person as the commander to deal with powerful enemies together. Secondly, everyone knows Li Huo's identity and knows who he is.
He was once an officer in the Special Boat Force of the Royal Navy of England. He was much better than others in terms of combat command.
We are getting closer and closer to Cutthroat Island, and through the mist, the situation on the island is already vaguely visible. This is a good opportunity to have a panoramic view. Liehuo, who was born in the special forces, will naturally not miss this rare opportunity.
"The north and south ends are long and narrow, and the middle is relatively open. It looks like a spindle. However, the island has undulating hills and dense vegetation, which is very suitable for hiding." Liehuo solemnly observed the situation on Cutthroat Island and kept adjusting.
The focal length of the telescope, first as a whole and then in parts, clearly understands the topography and landforms of Cutthroat Island. "The commanding height of the entire Cutthroat Island is the hill in the center of the island."
Liehuo put down the telescope, turned around and looked at everyone, and then said. "However, the north and south ends of Cutthroat Island are too narrow and have no strategic depth. They are not suitable for facing the enemy's impact there. I think we should divide the three kilometers in the middle of Cutthroat Island
The open area within the range serves as the main battlefield."
"You are the commander-in-chief of this operation. If you have any ideas or arrangements, just tell us directly without asking for our opinions." Ye Feng patted Li Huo on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Van Gogh leaned against the side of the ship and blew out a smoke ring leisurely. "Fire, don't worry, slowly adapt to your new role."
"Thank you, boss. I understand." Liehuo scratched his blond hair and laughed awkwardly. "I will make detailed arrangements after we land on Cutthroat Island and understand the topography on the spot."
"Commander-in-Chief, should you assign a military rank to each of us, so that we look more like an army." Wolide blinked and said jokingly.
While they were talking and laughing, the speedboat had slowed down and docked.
Cutthroat Island, surrounded by a layer of mist, quietly came into view. The entire island was blood-red, with blood-red soil, blood-red rocks, and blood-red hills. In addition to the lush bushes and
From the primeval forest in the center of the island, at a glance, the mountains and plains are covered in blood red.
The blue sea lang came in one after another, hitting the blood-red rocks, making a roar of earth-shattering and splashing with snow-white foam. Sea crabs walked through the cracks in the rocks, and oysters were densely covered on the rocks.
Sea cucumbers are squirming in the clear sea water, spitting out bluish-white mucus. In the sky, seagulls are gliding. It is a scene of a clear sky, a vast sea, and an empty outline.
Liehuo leaned down, grabbed a handful of blood-red soil, and rubbed it gently in his hands. "It seems that the so-called Scarlet Island is actually a trick of mineral elements. Because Cutthroat Island looks like a slender curved
Dao, such a unique geographical environment has formed a wonderful scene surrounded by fog all year round. Looking from a distance, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and the blood-red soil and rocks behind the mist are refracted under the sunlight.
into the water mist. In this way, the crew members passing by the nearby sea will see traces of blood in the white mist. Alas, the creation of nature is really miraculous. If people who don’t know the truth see this
This scene will probably make you feel spooky and terrifying in all likelihood."
When they first came to this legendary Cutthroat Island, everyone was very curious. As soon as they landed, they all walked towards the center of the island. Especially Wollid and Van Gogh, the two seemed to be in a race, one was faster than the other.
quick.
"Hey, I told you not to rush to the island. Move the speedboat to the shore first." Liehuo dropped the red soil in his hand and shouted to the retreating couple.
Hearing Li Huo's shout, Ye Feng, Viper and others couldn't help but be startled.
"Isn't the speedboat parked well at the beach? The wind can't blow away the wind, so why move it to the shore?" Michelle said very puzzled.
Ye Feng, Viper, and Thor looked at each other, then smiled knowingly, immediately turned around, and strode towards the shore.
"Fortunately, Li Huo has thought carefully. Although the speedboat is parked securely on the shore, there is no cover nearby. If the pursuers find our speedboat, they can just throw a grenade to blow up the boat and trap us without going to the island.
Go to this desert island. By then, the few of us will probably become modern-day Robinson Crusoe." Ye Feng explained to Michelle as he walked.
"Robinson." Thor laughed and joked. "Don't think about it on Friday. No matter how big the storm is on the sea, no one will dare to come here. As for the goats, except for mice, I haven't found any yet.
Are there any large animals on the island?"
Everyone hurriedly carried the speedboat to the shore and hid it in a low-lying area surrounded by bushes. Then everyone pulled out their daggers and cut some branches from the surrounding area to hide the speedboat.
After finishing their work, everyone walked towards the center of the island with confidence.
The topography of Cutthroat Island is complex, with undulating hills. Moreover, there are towering trees everywhere on the island. Walking into the primeval forest in the center of the island, the dense branches and leaves block the sunlight one by one, except for the occasional rays of sunlight.
, everywhere is gray.
Cutthroat Island is located in the subtropics, with abundant rainfall all year round and little human presence. The island has become a paradise for plants. The virgin forest is full of vines, crisscrossing and densely packed, and everyone has to use knives to cut a road. More
What's terrible is that due to the excessive rain and the accumulation of fallen leaves, stepping on the ground feels like walking in a mire, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. Fortunately, everyone is a master who has experienced many battles.
The muddy road did not faze everyone. In just a quarter of an hour, everyone walked out of the primeval forest and headed towards the highest peak in the center of the island.
Walking all the way from the west coast to the foot of the mountain, everyone now knew the terrain on the west side of Cutthroat Island. Fiery quickly rushed to the top of the mountain and carefully observed the surrounding situation with telescopes. Because the island was surrounded by a thick ring of
Surrounded by water mist, although Liehuo was on the top of the mountain, the situation outside the island was still hazy. Liehuo no longer looked at the pursuers on the sea, but instead looked at the east side of Cutthroat Island, which he had not been to yet, observing from a high position.
Looking at the topography on the east side, I wrote down notes in my notebook.
After some careful observation, Liehuo went down the mountain and walked to everyone, smiling and said. "Everyone, although the conditions here are very harsh, it is a good thing for us. Fighting in the mountains and jungles has restrictions.
The use of heavy equipment. As you have just seen, the center of the island is a virgin forest with no roads and swamps everywhere. With such road conditions, even if the Parachute Regiment and Swordfish Commandos come with heavy equipment, they will not be able to
Don’t throw away your heavy equipment and come with only light weapons to encircle and suppress us.”
Van Gogh frowned, hesitated, and said, "Cutthroat Island is isolated offshore, far away from the European continent. If Sarnia really wants to be cruel to us and send fighter jets to bomb the place indiscriminately, then how can we?
It’s not just about sitting around and waiting to be beaten.”
"Sagna won't do that, and he doesn't dare to do that." Liehuo shook his head and said with confidence. "Although Cutthroat Island is a desert island, it is not a terra nullius. It belongs to Spain.
It is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Madeira Overseas Province. Cutthroat Island is more than 800 kilometers away from the west coast of Europe, but it is only more than 30 kilometers away from Madeira. If Sarnia really carries out indiscriminate bombing here, it will be in Madeira.
There will definitely be news on the island. Moreover, if Sarnia really does that, it will be equivalent to declaring war on Portugal. By then, the people he will have to deal with will probably be the Portuguese navy and air force."
The worries in Van Gogh's heart disappeared immediately, and he said with a smile. "That's good, then let's slowly fight guerrillas here with the parachute regiment. Anyway, we have prepared enough food and weapons to fight for ten days and a half.
There’s no problem.”
"Fighting in the mountains and jungles is actually about the soldiers' ability to survive in the wild and their individual combat capabilities. From this point of view, neither the parachute regiment nor the Swordfish commando team can compare to us lone killers." Liehuo grinned.
With a smile, he walked among the crowd and continued. "Based on the complex terrain of the island and our absolute disadvantage in numbers, I formulated a combat plan. Maneuver around, harass and ambush."
The so-called maneuvers, detours, raids and ambushes are actually the application of guerrilla tactics in mountain and jungle operations. Facing hundreds of times the number of enemies, if you still plan to set up a position, defend dangerous areas, and resist tenaciously, there will only be a dead end. The number of people is small.
, can be regarded as a disadvantage, but it also has its advantage, that is, it has good mobility and flexibility.
You must make full use of your familiarity with the terrain and your excellent individual combat capabilities. You must resolutely ambush and attack the opponent's roundabout troops to prevent the opponent from forming an encirclement. You must also use night or jungle as cover to attack dangerous locations such as passes, valleys, and forests.
Set up an ambush on the terrain, hide and wait. When the opponent enters the ambush circle, block the head and tail, and suddenly open fire at close range.
When unable to resist the opponent's powerful offensive or are surrounded, they must immediately disperse, move or hide, break into parts, turn to guerrilla operations to contain and consume the opponent, attack the opponent's follow-up troops, or move to deep positions and regroup at designated positions in the rear
.
"In this way, there is actually only one goal. That is to consume as many enemies as possible while ensuring your own safety, and then gradually erode and disintegrate the enemy. As long as you can survive and persevere, you will usher in the dawn of victory." Liehuo said solemnly.
Made a summary.
Liehuo looked at his watch and saw that everyone had been on the island for half an hour.
"It is estimated that the pursuers are coming soon, and we are already familiar with the terrain of the island. Now we will return the same way, set up an ambush at the edge of the forest, and give them a showdown."
