After a battalion of the 6th Marine Corps completed the landing, they began to follow the information obtained from the interrogation and head towards Ichiro Kurote's lair.

I walked along the creek for nearly two kilometers in the jungle.

"That's it." Jiang Yishan looked at the figures on the hill.

The sound of the shelling was so loud that it was impossible for Kurote Ichiro not to know that the enemy was coming. In another language, pirates are a rabble.

The sound of shelling panicked the mob. Kurote Ichiro was using hundreds of Japanese pirates to gather the pirates, and there were people everywhere.

"The enemy is very confused, how about we charge a wave?" The instructor gasped slightly.

Marching in the jungle is too troublesome, there are obstacles everywhere, and even if you only carry light weapons, going around here and there is extremely troublesome.

"No, the information is insufficient. According to the information, there are still two thousand people above. The pirates have been operating for a long time and the terrain is complicated. We only have more than 100 people..." Jiang Yishan shook his head.

The enemy is now a turtle in a urn. If they charge forward, they may jump over the wall in a hurry. Regardless of whether they can take it down or not, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Scout the terrain, collect intelligence, and see if you can catch a few alive."

More than 100 people dispersed, collected information and then left.

…………

"Commander, this is the frontline map. Team 6 is responding. The terrain of the offensive route is complex and heavy equipment cannot be transported up it.

Coupled with the unknown internal structure of the enemy, a forceful attack may cause considerable casualties."

Zhao Jiaxing held the map and frowned in the shape of a river.

"Where are the mortars? Or do they occupy the commanding heights? It's not far away, so we can try to guide the bombardment." Zhao Jiaxing noticed that the distance is not far, so we can try to guide the bombardment.

"Occupy a commanding height, the one to the east is good." After Jiang Yishan heard the order, he immediately rejected the idea of ​​using mortars.

"There is a commanding height in the front. The black stone hilltop over there should be the highest point nearby." Squad Leader 1 asked.

"Then call for an artillery strike to kill us all?" Jiang Yishan said angrily.

"The 2nd platoon went to the top of the hill, the 1st platoon established a defensive line, and the 3rd platoon served as a reserve team and sent people to meet the soldiers laying the telephone lines."

After giving the order, Jiang Yishan's company began to take action. Hei Teng realized that there were already enemies outside, but he did not dare to let out the people he had just gathered.

"As long as they leave my sight, they will surrender to Nanhua as soon as possible. They are a group of untrustworthy people." Hei Teng described his men like this.

Therefore, even if Heiteng had more people, he only used 100 henchmen to coerce or escort dozens of pirates and attack Nanhua once.

The crossfire of the machine guns taught them a lesson, at the cost of more than 20 corpses and a dozen seriously injured people - lacking medicine and doctors, the seriously injured people only breathed more than the dead.

:.,

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the call was connected, and the artillery command position was set up directly on the hilltop east of Heiteng's lair.

"Bearing 003, distance 4200, 1 test shot!"

In order to improve accuracy, Jiangling anchored directly offshore and slowly raised its main gun.

boom!

The range of the cannonball's stroke is very low, after all, the distance is very short.

Boom!

"Correction, distance 4500, 7 to the left."

boom!

The 203mm shell only hit the wooden shacks in the open air of the pirates, directly destroying several shacks, and the huge shock wave blew down nearby shacks.

The pirate's lair is halfway up the mountain, half a wooden shack built on a platform, and half a natural grotto.

p

The main fighting force of the pirates lived in the grottoes, and over time they built fortresses with stones.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yishan did not launch an attack. The artillery could not come up, the mortars could not penetrate the grotto, and the rockets needed an open launch site. If they attacked by force, even if the enemy only had a matchlock gun, it would cause a lot of casualties.

"Distance 4600, 1 to the right, requesting more shells." The artillery command room gave the final coordinates.

The cannonballs flew towards the grotto like raindrops, most of them hit the stone wall, and a small part fell into the grotto, which made the frightened pirates feel relieved.

"Does your country not care about the safety of the hostages?" Hearing the shelling again, the accompanying British officers were puzzled.

"We learned from the captured pirates that the thugs on the island had already brutally killed all our crew members. Now, Nanhua is going to retaliate against these thugs." Zhao Jiaxing clenched his fists.

"Without trial?" the accompanying reporter stopped filming the shelling and asked excitedly.

"Of course not. Nanhua is a country governed by the rule of law. If the pirates are willing to accept trial, we will give them fair treatment in accordance with the laws of Nanhua." Zhao Jiaxing's image suddenly became majestic.

Click, click, click, several reporters regretfully took a photo of Zhao Jiaxing's front. How to write it back is uncertain.

boom!

body

Just as the camera made a sound, the Gangneung's 120mm secondary gun fired another round of shells.

In Jiang Yishan's field of vision, after the continuous explosions, the pirate's lair collapsed, and then he could no longer see anything.

"The target has been destroyed, stop the shelling! Stop the shelling!" Jiang Yishan said quickly.

After all, artillery shells are not cheap, so use them sparingly.

"Target destroyed, stop shelling, repeat..." the observer shouted into the phone (the shells exploded loudly, and the two mountains were not far apart.)

"It's our turn, 3rd row, search forward, stay vigilant, don't capsize in the ditch, whoever loses the chain, go back and wash socks for a month." Jiang Yishan held a telescope, hoping to observe something from the smoke.

Unfortunately, the artillery fire ignited each thatched hut, and with the smoke and dust raised by the gunpowder explosion, Jiang Yishan could not see anything at all.

"2nd Platoon, come up with me, 1st Platoon will be on guard outside, don't let anyone go." Jiang Yishan felt a little uneasy thinking of more than 2,000 enemies, so he led 2nd Platoon up to provide support.

Two rows, one in front and one behind, leaned against the stage. Dozens of people dispersed and slowly entered the pirate's lair.

Jiang Yishan held a first-year-style shotgun and cautiously followed Team 5 forward.

——

boom!

A gunshot sounded behind Jiang Yishan, and a man rolled out of a pile of rocks in front of him.

"If you are lucky enough, you can survive this level of bombing." Jiang Yishan glanced at the rocks to confirm that there were no enemies, and murmured to himself.

0-star gunshots kept ringing out, but most of them were from Type 91 rifles.

"A rough calculation shows that there are only about 1,000 corpses. Even if some people were blown to pieces, there are at least 1,000 people in the cave."

After half an hour of simple searching and statistics, Jiang Yishan arrived in front of the cave.

The cave had been blown down and was temporarily inaccessible, so Jiang Yishan took stock of the situation.

Under the bombardment, especially the heavy artillery bombardment, many corpses had no clothes or injuries, and their deaths were very strange.

This is because the shock wave of heavy artillery is within the range of the shock wave, and if it is directly hit by the shock wave, it is almost certain to die - this is the deterrent power of the cannon.

His clothes were torn to pieces and blown away by the air waves. There were no scars on his body, but his body was a mess. If he hadn't died on the spot, that would have been real pain.

"Report to the battalion commander that we need blasting tubes and explosive bags, a lot of them." Jiang Yishan said while looking at the rubble blocking the cave.

There are 6 ships, more than 100 crew members, and many students from technical colleges on board.

"After killing all the pirates, the Japanese would chop off their heads and nail them to trees; the whites would burn their bodies and dump them into cesspits..." Nanhua's Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Transportation reached an agreement among multiple departments

1 agree.

This situation must be severely cracked down. Nanhua is an island country, and all production and life are inseparable from shipping.

If we remain indifferent to this matter, or take it lightly, it will leave huge hidden dangers.

The funds for the navy's dispatch this time were also subsidized by these departments.

"Nanhua's progress is really fast, but Nanhua's fighting style makes me wonder if they have ever been educated in the UK." Several British officers joked privately.

Nanhua's fighting style was too rich. Even the British would not dare to be so luxurious when fighting pirates and spending hundreds of rounds of 120 mm or more artillery shells.

"I think it's pretty good. It not only eliminated the pirates, but also allowed the navy to gain experience in supporting 6 ships. The real goal is much better than the exercise."

"This farce is about to end, but Lawrence, why are there such large and arrogant pirates in your jurisdiction?" They didn't think that after hundreds of rounds of shells, the pirates would still be able to fight back.

"You can't blame me. The pirate leader named Ichiro Heiteng knows some big shots. Your Excellency the Governor rejected my request to suppress bandits." Lawrence shook his head.

The remaining people were silent. After all, it was only in the past few decades that the international community stopped issuing privateering licenses. Western countries are not clean - especially the United Kingdom and the Nordic countries.

"What did they take down? Is it kerosene?" an officer pointed to the barrels being loaded onto the boat.

"It should be, right? It can't be red wine."

…

"We did not carry a blasting tube, and we only had four 5-kilogram explosive bags, which may not be enough." The messenger passed the news to Jiang Yishan.

The 6th Marine Corps set out in a hurry. Considering that the rockets could break through most of the earthen fortifications, they only brought a few symbolically.

"Four 5 kilograms, which adds up to only 20 kilograms, is not enough! Where is the large army?" Jiang Yishan looked at the collapsed boulders.
