Chapter 144: Death without a fight

Wang Liren sighed helplessly and said, "Uh...well, we are dead."

Wu Shaoting asked these killed Northern Army to go out by themselves, and even allowed them to send people back to the north to inform the headquarters.

After all these people withdrew, Chen Fang hurriedly came up and sighed: "Mr. Wu, you are really imaginary. Now, when the Northern Army hears this news, it will be thunderous."

Wu Shaoting cleaned up the smile on his face, looked serious and asked, "What time is it now."

Chen Fang took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and replied: "It's already nine o'clock."

Wu Shaoting sighed and said, "We can't hold on for five hours. Go and find Zhang Dakai and ask him to remove two mountain cannons now and transport them to Jiaokou by boat."

Chen Fang was surprised and hurriedly said, "Sir, the current situation is very advantageous for us. The first Northern Army crossing the river unit suffered heavy casualties, and the sneak attack troops were wiped out. Even if we will fail in the end, it is not the case now?"

Wu Shaoting said with a wry smile: "Now there are less than 500 Northern Army attacking Tanwei Island, and there are nearly 3,000 people behind the Northern Army. The Northern Army has almost figured out our details in the previous battles, and we will soon be subject to a stronger offensive. Transfer the artillery as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no chance after waiting."

When Chen Fang heard this, she didn't know what to say, so she had to turn around and go as she did.

After ten minutes, two artillery that suppressed the north were withdrawn and loaded onto a ship and transported to Jiaokou.

Not long after, the second ferry force of the Northern Army began to launch an attack. This time, more than 40 ships came, with more than 500 troops, covering almost two miles of the entire north shore. Although Wu Shaoting transferred Li Jishen's team to support the beach head, the northern army's landing range was too wide, and the artillery in the fishing village was also knocked out, and the beach head defense line was already in a situation of losing sight of one thing.

Not only that, after receiving the news that the squads in the rear were wiped out and the Southern Army withdrew two artillery pieces, although they admired Wu Shaoting's strategy, it turned out that Tanwei Island had reached the end of their strength. So Mo Qingyu launched a general attack in time and sent a third crossing force to attack from the west of Tanwei Island.

At 9:40, the Northern Army landed on the west coast, and the entire army rushed straight to the north coast, intending to attack the Southern Army's beachhead defense line from the rear. However, when they arrived at the beachhead, they found that the Southern Army's beachhead defense line had collapsed. The second crossing force met with the first crossing force and was cleaning up the battlefield.

After torture, I found out that the Southern Army on the Beach Head Defense Line was retreating by itself, and the remaining troops were transferred to the east, and it seemed that they still wanted to resist stubbornly.

After the three northern troops gathered, they took a short rest and left a beach head to support the troops, and then launched an attack again. This time, they were to wipe out the southern troops on the island in one fell swoop. The army headed to the east of Tanwei Island in platoons.

At this time, there were only more than fifty people left in the Southern Army on Tanwei Island. Wu Shaoting led these people to set up the last position in a sparse forest to the east. This position was built by Li Jishen and his men before the war started. Although it was very simple, he only cut down some thicker trees and used Gobi stones to build fortifications.

Wu Shaoting had already done a battle with his back from the beginning. Although it was difficult to hold on to the five-hour task, he had to do his best to drag it to the last minute. He ordered everyone to gather together and form a concave line of defense to use overlapping firepower to kill the enemy.

This stubborn position war lasted only for more than ten minutes and ended. Of course, if it was a real gun and live ammunition battle, it would be far from possible time. After the Northern Army arrived here, the two sides basically only had a confrontation for a while, and then an officer of the Northern Army came up to inform Wu Shaoting that the battle was almost over and you had failed.

Wu Shaoting was too lazy to argue with this officer. If it was on the real battlefield, he led a group of soldiers who could not retreat and occupied favorable fortifications, and could fire up the last bullet no matter how much he said. He didn't say much, but just asked the officers of the Northern Army for the time.

The battle on Tanwei Island officially ended at 10:25 am. Except for the two artillery guns, the other two hundred and twenty Southern soldiers stationed on the island, were killed, including Deputy Commander Wu Shaoting.

At the beginning of the last battle, the Northern Army had already begun to cross the river.

Until the battle officially ended, more than half of the Northern Army's baggage troops boarded Tanwei Island. Half an hour later, the Northern Army's strategic headquarters moved from Lihu to Tanwei Island.

Wu Shaoting and other soldiers of the Southern Army who were killed all came to gather near the fishing village, including the Northern Army soldiers who died in the battle across the river. Both the soldiers and the officers were bored and chatted in groups of three or three. Some even gambled into the fishing village, took out the Paijiu that had been prepared long ago, and started gambling.

Wu Shaoting sat on a stone by the river, watching the ships transporting the Northern Army back and forth on the river, and breathed slowly. He felt that today was very tired, and fighting such a fight without killing was even harder than on the real battlefield. Perhaps this was called pretending to be too tired.

At this time, a cigarette reached in front of him, and he turned around and looked at it. The person who handed the cigarette was Liang Hongkai.

At the end of the first month, Wu Shaoting applied for Liang Hongkai to transfer his post and transferred him to the First Battalion as a copywriting. This application was implemented within two days. During the exercise today, Liang Hongkai stayed on Tanwei Island as a copywriting, mainly responsible for recording the entire battle. Now, of course, with the left-behind troops, he is a "dead man".

"Haha, Lord Wu, please smoke a cigarette." Liang Hongkai looked a little tight in a new military uniform that was not in line with. When he smiled and spoke, he looked more like a college student who had just left society.

Wu Shaoting nodded and gestured for a moment, then took the cigarette.

Liang Hongkai didn't smoke himself, so he took out a match and lit a cigarette for Wu Shaoting.

"Jing Yun, how about it? Have you adapted to the army during this period?" Wu Shaoting took a breath and let out a breath slowly. He was not caring about Liang Hongkai, but just found a topic to talk about it while he was bored.

"By being taken care of by Lord Wu, I am naturally fine, haha." Liang Hongkai responded politely. He paused for a moment, and then showed a sincere expression. "Speaking of this, I have a lot to learn from the five masters. I hope Lord Wu can treat the I am my own person and give me some advice."

"Oh, is that?" Wu Shaoting looked at Liang Hongkai. From Liang Hongkai's words, he clearly heard the other party's intention to surrender. Although this was exactly what he expected, placing this future Guangdong warlord under his command will not only eliminate future competitors, but also increase his own power. Why not do it?

However, he also felt that Liang Hongkai seemed to have shown himself too deliberately.

From the beginning, Liang Hongkai recommended himself to this time, and during this period, he was busy with the first battalion, only Wu Shaoting followed the leader; and the fact that "I hope Lord Wu can regard his humble position as his own person" just now, all these signs always seem a bit hypocritical.

He could see that Liang Hongkai was an ambitious person, and because of his ambition, he had a positive mentality. Such people were difficult to control unless he could always stand at the top of authority, just like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period suppressing Wei Yan.

Whether Liang Hongkai is a tiger general or a jackal depends on the situation of his master!

"Jing Yun, what else do you think you have to learn?" Wu Shaoting blew up the smoke, his tone was like smoke, which sounded very ethereal, but had a distinct shape.

"Just like Lord Wu's way of governing military affairs, or Lord Wu's god of military use, these are all unattainable. On the battle of Tanwei Island today, Bei Zhi appreciated Lord Wu's magic tricks, which made Bei Zhi admire him. Bei Zhi has humility and determination, and will definitely follow Lord Wu closely and study these great things!" Liang Hongkai said, while raising his head and raising his chest, showing a sense of confidence.

"Haha..." Wu Shaoting laughed strangely.

"Mr. Wu, you..." Liang Hongkai's face became slightly confused.

"Jing Yun, let me tell you," Wu Shaoting threw only half of the cigarette on the ground, but did not step on the fireworks. He turned around and looked at Liang Hongkai seriously and said, "It is a good thing to study. But in my army, I only admire those who stick to their duties. Remember your current identity, you are just a copywriter for your military."

Liang Hongkai was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wu Shaoting's gaze, as if he was lurking in the crisis late at night, which made him shudder. He has been with Wu Shaoting today. Looking at his boss who is about the same age as him, he is full of envy from the bottom of his heart. This was originally a passion, but now he has been hit by the head, and he is in a daze, and even a little palpitations.
