Macho Wars

For more than half a month, the eleventh district was isolated and helpless, only the three second-class destroyers and the army of Dragon's regiment.The Sapphire Principality fleet that came after it was likely to take the opportunity to attack the local area.

You must know the strength of the empire in this world, unlike the American emperor in its heyday on the other side of the earth. The military power slings the world and can brazenly say that it has the ability of "one-hour global strike". Do whatever you want. Who!

The Sapphire Principality is located in the Far East of the mainland. Not only does it have no territorial borders with the empire, it is also separated by the world’s top five Eastern Qin Kingdom. If they run in the eleventh district, the empire will really have nothing to do with it. Barbarian.

At this time, Dragon Palace Island, Dragoon, who unknowingly was in the "hot spot", finally understood how bad his hapless gang was currently.

They need to stay alone on the island for seventeen days, and also to protect the princess and the exiled Tarrans royal family.If the pursuit fleet of the Sapphire Principality doesn't come, it's okay, if it really comes and plans to do it, it must be a tough battle!

Even if warships cannot go ashore, even a thousand-ton destroyer is equipped with several long-barreled guns with a caliber of 100 mm, with an effective range of more than ten kilometers.Therefore, Longgong Island, which is less than ten kilometers in size, is theoretically within the range of naval guns.

On the other hand, in Dragon, no matter the tank or the mountain artillery of the artillery company directly under the regiment, the caliber and range power are not enough to pose an effective threat to warships at sea.

Therefore, when the superior sent a telegram asking him to protect Princess Alicia "at all costs", Dragon had the urge to arrange a ship to send her to the New World immediately.

However, without waiting for Dragon to make a decision, the naval destroyers patrolling abroad called urgently, reporting that there were as many as a dozen strange warships on the Southwest Ocean, suspected of pursuing the Sapphire Principality fleet.

These warships are now coming to the islands and are expected to enter the strait at night, less than twelve hours later than the Tarrance fleet that arrived in the morning.

With the intention of delaying time as much as possible, Dragon tried to get in touch with the opponent and warned that they had invaded the empire's territorial waters, and at the same time ordered the troops on Dragon Palace Island to enter the combat state, and the wounded of Tarrans and the island’s Fei fight. The personnel retreated to the island.

Soon, the Sapphire Duchy's fleet responded to Dragon's questioning. They did not intend to invade the empire's territory and sea frontiers, but the empire must surrender the members of the Tarrans royal family who fled here.

The opponent seemed to be winning, knowing that the fleet on the colony side was trapped by the typhoon and could not come for reinforcements in a short time, so confidently, he gave Dragon a full forty-eight hours to make him think about the consequences.

Seeing that the other party was so tough, with a posture that did not put the empire in his eyes at all, Dragon pondered for a moment, his tone seemed a bit difficult, and he said "Let me think about it", and then hung up the communication.

The moment he put down the microphone, Dragon's expression returned to normal, he hadn't thought about handing in from the beginning.

Not to mention whether these guys really attacked the imperial army. If he really confessed to someone, he would almost end his life.

Checked the forces at hand. Except for Major Horn’s First Battalion and Tank Battalion, the rest of the troops are currently on Dragon Palace Island, with a strength of about 1,800.In addition, there are war witches and port workers on the island. Even the more than 800 people in Tarance can be re-armed. Dragoon has more than three thousand soldiers available.

But if they want to use these people and support them for half a month on the limited area of ​​Dragon Palace Island, they still need to make more preparations.

Chapter 189

In the evening, the fleet of the Sapphire Principality appeared on the ocean surface off the archipelago, with a total of 23 ships of various types.

However, the Tarrance Navy, which has had several exchanges of fire with the other side before, said that this fleet only seems to be quite large. There are actually only eight real warships, and the remaining 15 are all armed merchant ships.

After all, the Sapphire Principality is a small country. It does not have the ability to build large and medium-sized warships. The navy is limited in scale and mainly undertakes offshore defense tasks. Naturally, there is no professional supply ship available.

The fleet of the Principality stopped more than a dozen kilometers south of the archipelago. The defenders waited until dark before cautiously sending several patrol boats to try to approach and investigate.As a result, it was discovered that the other side was carrying out replenishment operations at sea, and many small transport boats frequently commuted between warships and freighters to replenish coal and ammunition for battleships.

After learning of the opponent's actions, the island guard fleet once wanted to attack the "reckless wave" at night.However, considering the comparison of combat power between them, this unreliable combat plan was finally abandoned.

So the three destroyers of the guarding island fleet evacuated to the open sea overnight before the enemy ship blocked the strait.When the opponent starts to attack, harass from the outside.

On the island side, non-combatants from the port and coast have already begun to move to the island, and Dragoon’s regiment has also moved to the airport side to deploy troops.

The first step of the defense plan formulated by Dragon was to create a fake defensive circle with the port as the core.Machinery and soldiers were used to build a large number of positions along the coast. Anyway, there was no plan to actually deploy a defender. Therefore, everything can be simplified. The trench is only 30 cm deep, and a few sandbags are randomly stacked on the front, and then some scarecrows in military uniforms are placed.

There is only one purpose for setting up these fake positions, and that is to deceive the guns!Consume the enemy’s shells as much as possible.

The real defensive circle is the area between the left and right mountains and the airport as the core.

Although Ryonggong Island is small, theoretically the entire island is within the firepower coverage of the naval gun, but this does not mean that enemy ships can easily stand and output.The defenders can use the two large mountains as bunkers and move on the island to avoid the enemy's superior firepower.

It's a pity that the Air Force is still in its infancy. The Air Force is far from forming a climate. As a junior trainer, the Grey Seagull does not have combat capabilities.The fighter jets sealed by the witches can still be used barely, but the risk of dispatching these deteriorating old antiques is too great.The inventory of aerial bombs torpedoes has expired for many years.

The most critical problem is that the only airport on the island is not well located. It is just under the fire of the enemy ship that the opponent can smash the runway for takeoff at any time.

The transfer of non-combatants was quickly completed, after all, there were not many "civilians" on the island.At the foot of the mountain on the east side of the airport, there is a large cavern excavated by the witches in the past. The interior is spread in all directions, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and can be used as a refuge.

Dragon rolled up his sleeves and led his soldiers to dig trenches and become grassmen overnight. Even the Tarrans soldiers were drawn to be strong men by him.

More than two thousand people fought for one night, creating trenches with a total length of nearly eight kilometers and more than one thousand grass men. The false positions of the pier were arranged in a pattern, looking from a distance to a posture of waiting.

However, the actual force is only half a company.Their task is to throw firecrackers and smoke bombs into the position when the enemy fleet begins to attack.

After digging out the false positions on the periphery, the soldiers just took a short break and then drove to the island without stopping.

The Tarrans soldiers who worked with them were surprised to find that these imperial people were simply a group of tireless groundhogs.And their young head, who looked like a little white face, was able to do heavy physical work with them shirtless.This is a rare situation in a heavily-class army.

From the new regiment until now, in order to avoid the abolishment of his troops in a public security war, even if their troops are insufficient, they must adopt a rotation system and conduct strict physical training for the rotated troops.

At first, the soldiers complained about this. They felt that they were stationed on the island anyway, so they couldn't let people stay in the barracks and get a sense of life?

But Dragon ignored these complaints. He told his soldiers that he would set an example to train with them. If he did not meet the training targets set by him, then everyone could naturally refuse to train.

As a result, Dragon’s various training results are among the best, and everyone has nothing to say with practical actions. Therefore, the grassroots officers and soldiers love and hate this unpretentious but extremely strict commander!

Two days passed quickly, and Dragoon dragged on until the last minute before replying to the principality fleet, and they refused to hand over the members of the Tarrance royal family.

At this point, the two sides completely tore their skins, and the Principality fleet that blocked the entrance of the strait rushed into the bay and surrounded the Longgong Island where they had already determined its location.

Looking at the aggressive Principality fleet, the tense battle atmosphere began to spread among the officers and soldiers.Many people don't understand why the Sapphire Principality, a small country with a population of less than tens of millions and almost relying on purchases of heavy equipment, dare to challenge the Sidney Empire, which is more than ten times more powerful.

Dragon was also puzzled at first, until he took out the world map and found the location of the Sapphire Principality, and instantly understood everything.

This is a special Mongolian country!

The willow-shaped land is sandwiched between the Crick Federation and the Eastern Qin Kingdom. It stretches out a small area towards the tip of the leaf to the north, and has a usable outlet to the sea.The Tarrans Kingdom is close to the northeastern part of the Principality. Not only does it have many good harbors, it can also send troops to cut off the Principality’s only sea channel at any time.Changed to Dragoon to be the Grand Duke of Sapphire, and I still have to find a way to fight your Tarrans!

Therefore, in order to conquer the kingdom of Tarrans and put an end to their rejuvenation, even if the Principality Army wants to challenge the powerful Sidney Empire, it must completely destroy the blood of the Tarrans royal family.

Soon, the fleet of the Principality that broke into the strait divided into two formations, encircling the Dragon Palace Island.The commander of the fleet sent three small boats, approached the pier and called to the defenders to issue the "ultimatum" before the attack.

Several tanks staying at the dock immediately stepped forward and responded with a precise salvo.The three small boats were injured and sank, and had to escape back in despair.The peripheral warships immediately began to attack, pouring artillery shells toward all the observed coastal positions.

Chapter 190

The violent shelling lasted for more than 30 minutes. Several gunboats of the Principality Navy poured hundreds of shells into the dock, throwing the surrounding positions into a sea of ​​flames, and the Tarrance cruiser docked in the harbor was shot and sunk.

Dragoon watched on the top of a hill two kilometers away from the pier, smiling proudly.The enemy even chose to attack after dark, which can be said to be in his arms.

"Fight, take more time! I don't know how to control right now, I will understand the loss when I shoot it all!"

"Boss, do you think these northern barbarians really dare to send people ashore to fight us after firing the cannon?"

Jack Poney, who was standing next to Dragon, looked slightly solemn.Just now, Dragun ordered the second battalion assembled behind the pier to prepare, and only waited for the enemy's landing troops to come ashore, taking advantage of their unstable footing, and rushing to fight back.

There is no problem with the arrangement of the battle plan, but Jack does not think that these principality troops dare to go ashore.After all, shelling can only be regarded as a harassment, and sending infantry to land is a real invasion. The two are very different in nature.

Dragon knew what Jack was thinking, and he also knew that there were definitely not a few officers and soldiers in the regiment who had similar opinions. He felt that the Sapphire Principality was bluffing, and it was impossible not to use force against the empire.He did not refute the other person's opinion, but asked indifferently.

"Captain, if you are Grand Duke Sapphire, do you think it is advantageous to have good relations with the empire, or is it advantageous to have good relations with the empire?"
