In fact, when Shan Ying led his team to raid four large pirate gangs, he had already thought that the pirates would gather together for self-protection.
This is a very simple truth. When encountering a pack of tigers and wolves hunting, even the weakest animals will stick together to survive, let alone those vicious pirates?
Through Comet, we already know that this vast sea area with a radius of thousands of miles is filled with thousands of pirates, sixty or seventy gangs. If the special team uses the speed of raiding one place in ten days to calculate, even the pirates will still stay in their original location.
If the ground does not move, it will take more than 600 days and nearly two years. Not to mention that the intensity is too great, even time is too late.
The special team comes here to train troops and make a little money, but it does not mean that they are here to destroy pirates for the two countries on both sides of the Malacca Strait. Shanying knows that the Sino-Japanese war will soon break out, if time is not hurry up
Son, then they may not be able to go back in time to fight the Japanese with the 3,000 brothers of the Independent Regiment.
There is a sea route of 2,500 kilometers away from mainland China. It doesn't mean that anyone can go back if they want. With those few small steamships, they might not have traveled hundreds of kilometers before they sank in the rough sea. This
This kind of ocean voyage requires large tonnage such as warships or merchant ships and passenger ships.
Therefore, from the beginning of their crackdown on pirates, Shan Ying and Lu Shandong formulated a plan - to alert the enemy. They used the bloody and cruel reality to force the pirates to join together, annihilate most of them in one fell swoop, and then clean up the rest.
Yes, this not only saves time, but also gives the island's guards a good workout.
Without experiencing a real test of war, this group of thousands of indigenous people may be invaded by pirates in the future, but this is absolutely not allowed. The regimental commander has made it very clear in the message that this group of people in Suman
The geographical location of the large island at the junction of the Sea of Dahai and the Strait of Malacca is critical and cannot fall into the hands of anyone else.
Although I don't quite understand why Liu Tuanzuo cares about an island nearly 3,000 kilometers away from mainland China, Liu Tuanzuo's military orders have always been true to his word, and everyone in the independent group has obeyed them.
Since the independent regiment cannot devote troops to this island, it can only rely on the indigenous people's own strength. Before the special team leaves, not only must they clear away the nearby pirates that may threaten them, but more importantly, must
Develop their own strength.
At the beginning of the raid on the pirates, more than 200 young people from thousands of indigenous people were selected into a small team of 15 people, for a total of 15 teams with a total of 225 people. Finally, at the strong request of Huixing, 15 women were selected.
The soldiers formed another team.
The number of armed escorts on the entire Sumanda Island has reached 240, possessing two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns, as well as more than 60 rifles, more than 60 submachine guns and a dozen pistols. In terms of firepower, it is definitely
This is the most powerful force within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
However, Shanying knew that this was only based on the equipment. In fact, among the 240 people, there will never be more than 30 people with real combat effectiveness, even if there are dozens of team members who have been killed by Nabaga.
They have been pirates, but many of them have never even fired a gun. Especially seeing how they like javelins more than the rifles in their hands, Shanying knows better that if there is a group with more than a hundred armed
When pirates come to this island, the escort team, which seems to have a large number of people and equipment, will still not be an opponent.
What they lack now is not equipment or people. What they lack is combat experience and blood, whether it is their own or the enemy's.
Only fighting and sacrifice can turn these residents, who originally hunted and lived a life of isolation in the jungle and sea, into true warriors.
Even if they have no intention of becoming the king of this sea area, a sheep surrounded by a group of wolves will sooner or later become food in the mouths of the wolves. In this era, you have to do many things even if you don’t want to do them. Falling behind
If you are beaten, you will be beaten, but it does not only apply to China, this principle applies to the world.
The aborigines who suffered deeply from pirates spent twenty years of humiliation to understand this more deeply than the soldiers from China.
So not only did no one refuse, but they actively participated in the escort and participated in rigorous military training. Not only that, the Presbyterian Church even prepared up to 200 reserve candidates, who would be replaced immediately if someone died in the battle.
Meaning, they want to ensure that the 240 escort team is fully staffed.
For this reason, the rules of hunting teams composed of young men and women that had been enforced for thousands of years in the aboriginal tribes were changed and women began to be recruited, just to retain more young men to join the escort team to fight the pirates.
They already know too well that if they do not have the power to protect themselves, when the next batch of pirates comes, more people may die innocently.
This is actually similar to the situation that China is facing now. If there is not enough power to protect itself, the invading aliens will just slaughter pigs and dogs. At this point, many Chinese people are not as good as these isolated people overseas.
The aborigines see clearly, and they feel that they can survive by living humblely.
However, can humility win the mercy of the invaders? Obviously, thousands of years of history at home and abroad prove that it cannot.
In the Central Plains under the rule of the Mongolian army, the Han people were a fourth-class ethnic group, with a status only slightly higher than that of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. Even if they were killed by the Mongolian nobles, they would only pay the price of a sheep to their families. But now they are eyeing the rich China.
The Japanese on earth are much more ferocious than the Mongols. They want not only resources, but also land where they can move.
When one day, the Japanese completely establish a foothold on this land, will the Chinese people, who are just like cows and horses and hope to live humblely, still have the role to continue to survive?
Apparently not.
Because the aborigines understood this truth, they were very active. Not only did they form a escort team, they also bravely participated in four raids on pirate gangs, four brutal battles. Even with the powerful raids and far superior attacks by special teams,
The combat power of pirates is auxiliary, but it is still very cruel to them who are still newcomers to the battlefield and have only trained for half a month.
In the four battles, except for the newly formed 16th Squadron composed of women, the casualty ratio of all the 225-man escort squad members who took part in the battle was as high as 25%, with more than 20 people killed and more than 30 injured.
. Two special teams led by Shan Ying and Lu Shandong seriously injured three people and no one was killed. However, their result was the annihilation of 600 pirates.
Although there are only 170 people left in the escort team that have experienced the test of blood and fire, their combat effectiveness is completely different from that of more than a month ago. Before the pirates used their blood to join the alliance and mobilized a large number of troops to attack, there were even two raids on the pirates.
It was completed entirely under the leadership of Comet, and the accompanying Shan Ying and five special team soldiers did not even fire a single shot.
It can be said that when the aboriginal informant located 30 kilometers away from Sumanda Island lit a beacon to notify Sumanda Island that a large number of pirates were incoming, the armed force on Sumanda Island consisted of 23 special forces from China and
2 second lieutenants and the Aboriginal Guard were replenished to 240 people.
More importantly, in order to carry out the plan that lasted for more than a month to scare the snake away so that the snake would jump out and bite people, thousands of aborigines on Sumanda Island, under the guidance of Shan Ying and others, searched for landing sites around the island.
Various traps have been set up at the location, just waiting for the prey to take the bait.
