Suleiman had always hoped to launch an offensive from the northern front to maintain the so-called offensive defense, and attempted to enter the territory of the original Eastern Peninsula Alliance directly from Balia. This idea was eventually rejected. Neither the senior leaders of the Peninsula Alliance nor the Nan'an Alliance wanted to take such a risk. , being able to maintain the current state of peace is the highest requirement. But now it seems that Suleiman's original idea is more in line with the reality. If they could take advantage of the situation and advance into Balia or even Eastern Samoa, even if they could not recapture the Eastern Peninsula as they envisioned, as long as they could completely defeat the two Tang Army's This division, at least now, does not have to face such great pressure. Looking at the ferocious offensive of the Tang Army's 8th Division and 4th Division under the Kuruk Fortress now that they have regained their strength, you can tell that they are eager to wash away their defeat.
But now that the time has passed, the Tang Army has not only been supplemented by two legions, but also the First Legion of the Empire, known as the First Army of the Tang Dynasty. Its combat effectiveness is the best in the Eastern Continent, even the Kaman and Magi The Khans did not dare to take advantage of it lightly. Fortunately, the reputation of Suleiman's Dark Night Rose attracted the Tang Army. If this legion was involved in the offensive and defensive battles of Kuruk Fortress or Bomashan Fortress, then the troops in their hands would probably be destroyed. Stretched.
"Commander, General Malu and General Murfa have led their troops to Bomashan and Kuruk Fortress. Now most of the supplies in the two places have been consumed. I'm afraid they need to be replenished immediately." The person who came in to report was Man. Nuair's deputy is responsible for the supply and distribution of all supplies. The Nan'an people are responsible for the main supply this time, and Western Samoa is also responsible for part of it. They actually hope that Sikkim will also provide partial help. These guys, Sikkim People are already doing their best to help them fight the war and shed blood and sacrifice, but they are still thinking about these details. What an outrage.
"Go and notify the Nan'an people and ask them to transport all the supplies they have prepared tomorrow, and ask them to start preparing the second batch of supplies. These guys are cunning. They are all guys who don't show off their eagles when they see rabbits. You want to Keep an eye on them. Urge them to prepare the second batch of supplies earlier so as not to delay the important event." Manuel told his deputy.
As the sun set, Nan'an Port, which had been noisy all day, gradually calmed down. The huge storage area on the dock fell into silence. The guards on the towers were still at their posts. The last batch of staff also accompanied several officers and left. come out.
"Everything is ready. Don't worry, sir. As soon as the transport truck comes tomorrow, it will be loaded and everything will be out of the warehouse in two days."
"Well, be careful. Those Sikkimese people are very arrogant. They will curse at the slightest displeasure and threaten to stab someone. At this time, we still have to rely on them to help us fight. We can't let them catch the little boy. Braid, please be more careful." said an officer in the lead.
"No problem, I will personally check these batches of goods to ensure that the people of Sikkim can't find any mistakes..."
As the footsteps and words disappeared at the gate of the warehouse area, the entire warehouse finally fell into silence. A group of armed patrols passed under the tower, greeted the sentry on the tower, and continued their work. The sentry holding a large crossbow wandered in the field of vision blankly. After a while, he had to light the torch. Alas, it’s another night shift, it’s really hard.
But his thoughts stopped here and could no longer continue. A smaller sharp thorn stabbed silently from his neck. A huge numbness spread quickly from his neck to his whole body, and even his mouth could no longer stop. He moved a little, but his eyes could still see a khaki-colored guy crawling out of a dark ditch twenty meters away. What was that? Endless darkness flooded his mind.
Finished the sentry. The khaki figure climbed up and waved his arms twice, and more than ten people swarmed out from the distant houses and rushed along the edge of the storage area wall. The iron gate of the storage area was only used in the hands of this group of people. It was opened in less than two minutes, and a group of people filed in. Except for one person who climbed up the sentry tower and continued his duties in place of the sentry, calm returned to the gate of the storage area.
Shao Ziquan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. The Nan'an people were more lax in their vigilance against this storage area than imagined. Except for a garrison of less than a hundred people, there was no force to pay attention to this important material base. Maybe Nan'an People still think that this is their rear area. Maybe the Nan'an people didn't realize that they would launch an attack from here. In short, they remembered that they paid a heavy price for their negligence.
Buckets of tung oil and olive oil were splashed along the edge of the warehouse. There was plenty of time, but we still needed to hurry up. This warehouse was too big, and the good fire isolation walls forced our group to spend more. They have time to make preparations, from food to oil, from weapons to equipment, from tents to uniforms. This warehouse is indeed the largest military supplies warehouse for the Nan'an people. As long as this place is solved, it will take at least two weeks for the Nan'an people to recover. Only then can we prepare everything again.
Two figures flashed over, "Captain, everything is ready."
"Very good, you go prepare, wait for my signal, light the fire together, fire together, and immediately retreat according to the established route." Shao Ziquan nodded with satisfaction, everything is stuck within the time, as long as the fire is fired, the mission is completed.
The flames that shot up to the sky turned the entire dock area red. Even the people resting on the boats parked in the dock area were so shocked that they all stood on the deck and watched the scene in front of them. The blazing fire could be clearly seen from miles away. , water dragon teams rushed here from all places.
Manuel stood on the window sill and stared blankly at this scene. The anger in his heart made him unable to think of anything to say to scold the Nan'an garrison commander here. He was only the commander of the coalition forces and not a logistics support officer. , if you have to ask about logistical support and defense issues, then there is no need to be the commander-in-chief. But this blow in front of him really hit his weak point. Once this batch of supplies is burned, the Pomashan and Kuruk Fortress will face difficulties.
"Commander, this must be the work of the Tang people. These Nan'an people are too careless. I think..."
Seeing his deputy nagging and complaining, Manuel glanced at him coldly, "Now is not the time to pursue this matter.
That is a matter for Nan'an's internal affairs department. Let the Nan'an people immediately collect supplies forcibly and send them to Kuruk Fortress in batches. After sending greetings to Western Samoa, ask them to ship the supplies to Nan'an Port immediately. They must ensure the supplies of Kuruk Fortress. The Bomashan side should wait a little for a while. If it doesn't work, we can ask them to mobilize some of them from our side first. "
The Tang people's move is indeed very vicious, but if they want to change the situation of the battle, they are too naive. This also shows that the Tang people are somewhat desperate now. Bomashan and Kuruk can't win, so they can only play for fun. These make two.
Qu Bo stood on the bow of the boat and stared helplessly ahead. There was still a vast expanse of sea and sky. It had been five days since he left Golden Crown Island, and there was still no sign of land. Being strong-willed, he also had some doubts. There is something wrong with the navy, not to mention there is not much supplies on the ship. The most important thing is to keep so many soldiers drifting on this vast sea, and their morale and spirit will be greatly affected. Although the First Legion has never been afraid of any challenge, but it is playing against God, so it is inevitable that it will not be so practical.
Golden Crown Island is an island discovered by the Empire in the southwestern waters of the Southern Ocean after the Empire promulgated a series of laws and policies to reward sailing expeditions. This island is not large. It is located 600 nautical miles from Princes to the southwest. It can be said to be isolated overseas. The Empire After discovering this island, the news was blocked, so the outside world did not know about it. Soon it became a secret base of the navy, and this attack on Sikkim could come in handy.
Theoretically, you can reach the southwest of Sikkim Island by going 400 nautical miles west from Golden Crown Island, and then proceed northward to avoid the gateway to the south of Sikkim, and then you can insert it into the south of Sikkim Island. According to the intelligence, there are still some areas in the west of Sikkim Island except In addition to the Sikkim Navy's alert, the main force of the Sikkim Navy has been deployed in the offshore area. The Imperial Navy's frequent activities in the waters around Eastern Samoa have successfully attracted the Sikkim Navy.
This is an extremely bold landing operation, and there are many variables in it. The change of monsoons, the redirection of sea currents, and the cruise of the Sikkim Navy may lead to the failure of the landing operation. What will failure bring? Everyone knows it. Even if they successfully land in southern Sikkim, they may still encounter many troubles. A division of troops and more than a hundred ships of various sizes sounds like a lot, but once they land in Sikkim, there will be logistical supply problems and they may encounter a quick counterattack by the Sikkimese. Problems and slight mistakes may be fatal, but the arrow is on the string and must be fired. At this time, there is no choice but to rely on fate.
The main forces of the Sikkimese people have already stationed in Nan'an and are engaged in battle at Bomasan Mountain and Kuruk Fortress. The empire's life-threatening attacks on Bomasan Mountain and Kurukk have forced the Sikkimese people to stabilize their defense line. With more troops invested, the Nan'an people can no longer play a greater role. Although the Sikkim people are reluctant in every possible way, they cannot help but get involved in this war. The reserves on the second line are almost entirely composed of Sikkim troops. The reserves provided by South Anran will only accelerate the collapse of the front. No one dares to place hope on these untrained troops.
