1263 Bombardment of Luma Island

When the coastline of Amami Oshima appeared in front of Molière, the first thing he saw was not the main island but the outlying island of Ryuma Island in the south.

This is a very narrow island with east-west directions. The narrowest point in north-south directions is only about two kilometers. Along the narrow island is a series of mountains, covering the main island to the north like a screen.

"The strait is behind this mountain range. The villages and towns shown by intelligence are on the other side of the strait... If you want to occupy Amami Oshima, you must first take down Ryuma Island, and at least you have to ensure that there are no ambushes on this island... The war has begun, please give the commander the order!"

Stefansky looked at the archipelago mountains in front of him calmly, and he was extremely shocked. Not to mention that Xiao Letian chose this place, even if he asked him to choose it, he would choose this place as a treasure island.

The mountains here are high and dense forests, the waterways are complex, and there are many offshore islands outside the main island. It is impossible to conquer the navy alone. After entering the mountainous area, people are fighting for the combat effectiveness of the army. If there are enemy troops stationed here, it will definitely be very troublesome.

"If the order is passed, the Svetrana leads three frigates and six small gunboats to penetrate east from the waters north of Tonoshima Island, clearing small islands in the southern part of Ryma Island to ensure the safety of the southern line, and then blocking the east entrance of the Strait..."

"St. Peter continues to control the estuary on the west side of the Strait to the north and land on Luma Island at the right time... Let me see if Xiao Lotte is ambushing..."

"Commander... won't you land on the main island?" his adjutant asked in surprise. "We don't have much time! Will waste this on these outer islands affect the situation of the battle..."

"No, no, no, the enemy is very cunning. If you want to deal with them, you must have the patience of a good hunter. The more you encounter such a battle, the more you must be calm! Remember to carefully clean the battlefield. First, you must see if there are people on Luma Island, and second, you must see if there are defenders on this island!"

"If there are people and appropriate defenders, then this means that this is not a trap... If not? Then we don't want a gold coin, leave here immediately..."

The adjutant didn't understand the commander-in-chief's intentions and felt that he was a little too cautious, but the military order was like a mountain and he could not help but question it. The flag bearer quickly conveyed the order. The huge fleet on the ocean began to adjust his posture, and the Svetrana began to escape from the formation.

The long journey finally saw the end. The Tsarist army, who had been watching the wall, finally got the order to fight. The deck was full of fully armed army soldiers, and the company platoon leaders checked the equipment of their soldiers one by one.

"Brave boys, it's our turn! Let's do a big deal, let these yellow-skinned monkeys in the East know how powerful we are! Long live the Tsar!"

"Check equipment, bring enough base ammunition, and food and water are not needed to carry. This is an isolated island. With our strength, we can definitely easily penetrate the defense of this island!"

"Repeat again, without any food or water, bring enough ammunition! Let's go ashore to eat the rice of these Chinese people, drink their wine! Go grab their gold!"

Countless officers began to inspire morale among the soldiers and mobilize before the war. The Russian Army, which had been holding back for several months, was now full of blue eyes. They shouted Ula's slogans frantically, and watched the troop ship start to move forward at accelerating and quickly passed by the flagship.

On the tall bridge, Stefansky saluted the army soldiers in an insolent manner, "God bless you! Brave soldiers! The east of wealth has opened the door. Now I need the combat power of your army... Don't let me down!"

"Ula!Ula..." The troop transport ship was filled with dense populations, and the excited soldiers clenched their fists and waved them in the air, and the roar was shocking.

Moli's heart was extremely shocked. He began to re-examine his views on the Russians from the bottom of his heart. Before, he had always thought that the polar bears who failed the Crimean War had declined, but today he saw that the fighting nation had not declined. They just slowly licked their wounds under the leadership of Alexander II, accumulating strength little by little to make a comeback.

Stefansky was several times more cautious than the average commander, which shocked Molière!

Vinia's division of troops without complaints led the Zhiyuan troop. This spirit of sacrifice also moved Molière!

Looking at the skillful array change operation of the Svetrana on the ocean, this shows Captain Hemansky's excellent command ability and the skillful manipulation ability of his soldiers, which makes Molière even more amazed!

As for these fanatical army, Molière can no longer describe it in words. This is a group of war bears who use killing as life. Those strong soldiers can get two weak Chinese people in one person. Their strong arms are enough to crush the skulls of children.

"This is really a nation that likes war from the bottom of my heart! Killing has been integrated into their bloodline. If there was no cruel living environment to curb them, God knows how much this nation will fight..."

Stefansky glanced at Molière at the squint, and he heard the ghost-faced rider's feelings, "Yes! Maybe this is the balance mentioned in Eastern philosophy... We Russians live in cold areas and have to go through a long winter in the year. We cannot carry out large-scale farming, and even fishing and hunting are full of dangers. The cruel environment even makes our fertility rate extremely low!"

"But it is these sufferings that have made our nation's brave spirit. The cruel environment eliminates all the weak, and only the strong are worthy of more resources... For example, the Chinese people in front of us are hardworking and they are equally weak. The warm environment makes them become sheep, and the sheep are destined to be given to me! Their wealth will eventually belong to us!"

The commander watched the troops transport ships on both sides of the warships sail forward one by one. The huge fleet was pouring out the murderous bees like a beehive. One after another, the warship began to approach the west coast of Luma Island. The coastal fishing village was getting closer and closer. You could see the terrified fishermen running above them.

"Architecture suppression! Provide cover for landing troops! Blast out a landing field!"

Boom boom boom... Russian warships and heavy artillery fired at the same time, and shells rumbled across the sky, flying over the army's heads towards the dense forest behind the fishing village. Balls of fire and smoke rushed into the sky. The people in the fishing village were so scared that they ran away with their families and their heads.

"It's great, no trace of the enemy was found, the landing field is safe... Artillery extended shooting! The army began to land..."

The troops ships anchored in the deep water area about 150 meters away from the coast. One small boat after another was placed on the sea surface. The soldiers began to climb down along the rope ladders, and all the rope ladders on both sides of the ship were hung with people.

One boat was set off when the soldiers shouted neatly, and the boat began to slide the oars, and the boat jumped on the sea like it was on its wings.

The warships in the distance were continuing to suppress fire. Even if there were ambushes in the woods behind the fishing village, they would be bombarded by this artillery. It was not until the first small boat approached the beach that the artillery of the warships and guns in the distance gradually stopped firing.

"Keep the offensive formation and search for all hidden objects... Class 3 occupies a high ground in the direction of nine points, establishes an observation post... Class 2 controls the sugarcane fields in the direction of two points, and searches for everything you can target..."

"Hurry, hurry up... Beware of everything around you and search for the enemy's traces. This island is not big. In an hour, you must control the two highest peaks in the east and west to seize the commanding heights!"
