Act VII: The Bandits' Trench War

Not only did they buzz and create noise pollution, but they also threw down several bombs with certain chances of casualties from time to time. Chen Fengqi and the others finally survived until dusk and all the bombers returned to the near of Hainan Island. As they went all the way, five fishing boats sank. Because of the timely rescue, the casualties were not too great. They were only killed and drowned by more than 90 people, and were injured by more than 200 people, most of which were slightly injured. However, although not many people died, their morale was already gone. In addition, too much ammunition was wasted, and at most one person in this army fired ten bullets and was about to become the Beggars' Sect.

Chen Fengqi originally had some considerations about where to go and when to log in. It was obviously a matter of rushing into Haikou Port directly - the Xiuying Fortress there was not a good look. In order to protect his old nest Hainan Island, Mr. Deng had repeatedly expanded the Xiuying Fortress, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be cheaper.

Since you can't go to Haikou, you can only change a port. No need to have a big fishing port, but the problem is that these planes will definitely tell Roger about their whereabouts during the day. That guy who is also familiar with Hainan geography will definitely wait for him in the nearby fishing port for these exhausted guys.

Looking at the soldiers behind him who were mourning and prosecuting, Chen Fengqi couldn't help but sigh. If he encountered an attack from Roger's security team when he was landing, relying on these guys with no morale, it would be useless even if the number of people was several times that of the enemy. It would definitely be a disaster!

So, Chen Fengqi made a decision.

"Notify the fleet and land here!"

The adjutant was stunned, looked at the terrain in front, and said in confusion: "But the water ahead is shallow and there are reefs, so our ship is probably unreliable!"

"What are you afraid of! Let everyone get on the fishing boat and drive directly to the beach. When it gets stranded, then get off the boat! If you hit the reef slowly, you won't die. If you hit the reef in a bad luck, get off the boat and swim. It's not too far anyway. I've seen all the bullets, don't get into the water!"

For Chen Fengqi and the others, it is enough to land. Whether the fishing boat is broken or not is bad or not, Chen Fengqi's affairs? What does those fishermen's family have to do with him?

After finally taking advantage of the last ray of light to successfully land on the beach and rest for a night, Chen Fengqi's team only carried his own dry food and a dozen bullets, heading straight to Haikou City with a burning boat. He knew that as long as Haikou was captured, the entire Hainan Island could be decided.

But can it really be captured? Before boarding the ship, Chen Fengqi sneered at this question, but now, he is not sure.

………………………………

As a bandit army that was born from bandits and had the highest goal of robbing families and robbing families, it was too difficult for them to force the army to fight.

Chen Fengqi himself knew these things very well, because he was also a bandit, but now his boss is in a critical situation. At the critical moment when he was about to fight Guangzhou, his hometown's back was raided. Who can do this matter without rush?

But no matter how anxious you are, what can you do? No matter whether you beat or scold, or offer high rewards, you cannot help these old soldiers speed up.

Moreover, in order to avoid bombers that may be descending from the sky at any time, these people must touch the woods and walk on the mountain road. If they walk along the avenue, Chen Fengqi probably would have his team that would be blown up if they can't walk in Hainan, but this will make the speed even slower.

So, after hiding all the way, Chen Fengqi and the others rushed to Haikou City for two days.

It was these two days of procrastination that gave Roger enough time to arrange his defense. The bandit army is the bandit army, and even if it was drilling into the valley, it still made chaos, allowing Roger to easily know their whereabouts, and thus had a whole day to arrange his position.

When Chen Fengqi led his troops to the vicinity of Haikou, the nine astronomy lines of defense in the education and science during the World War I period appeared in front of them.

………………………………

"Chen... Mr. Chen, how should we fight? Why don't we go around here? I don't believe they can use barbed wire to surround Haikou City!" Looking at the iron barrel-like defensive position in front of him, the adjutant couldn't help but feel numb. Looking at the barbed wire belt and several machine gun bunkers that stretched fifty meters deep, he estimated that the people on his side didn't even have the courage to rush up and try it.

Chen Fengqi was also staring at the position in front of him, and finally sighed and gave up his plan to attack - he knew how much he had, and at the same time, he was also very clear about the purpose of this battle.

There are two purposes for combat. The first is to regain control of Hainan Island to stabilize the morale of the army; the second is to ensure that the army can retreat to Hainan Island after defeat and rely on natural seawater to block the enemy.

For the first article to stabilize the morale of the army, although with the current communication method, as long as the news is blocked and the information in the newspaper is discredited as fake news in Guangzhou that disrupts people's hearts, it can be withstood for a while. Anyway, the people below cannot confirm that it is not.

However, the fire cannot be kept in the paper. If Roger's security team does not clear it up for a long time, the news will eventually make everyone know.

In order to be able to say with confidence that his eight-member coalition forces have recovered Hainan Island, at least they have to take over the capital Haikou, right?

As for the second way to ensure the retreat, there is a rigid requirement - it is necessary to ensure that no port is in Roger's hands!

The advantage of Hainan Island lies in the barrier of sea water, but if someone has a port, then this is a fart advantage? Didn’t the Guangzhou National Revolutionary Army go to the island when it wants to go to the island?

Therefore, in order to achieve these two goals, there is one place that must be taken down - Xiuying Fortress that guards the entry and exit of Haikou Port!

As long as the Xiuying Fort is still in Roger's hands, even if there is only one person, for Deng Benyin's Eight-League Alliance, the natural danger of Hainan Island is nothing like that, and it cannot be called a retreat at all!

Chen Fengqi can go around the second camp position outside Haikou City and wait for it to clean up, but he must fight to the end of the position of the Xiuying Fortress.

"I hope there are no such damn wire cafes there..." Chen Fengqi smiled like a self-deprecating smile. He also knew that this was impossible. Even if Roger had an average IQ, he would not ignore Xiuying's turrets of the four major turrets in the late Qing Dynasty. This can be seen from the fact that he let them leave in the opposite position - the other party was very confident in the defense of the place they were about to attack.

Sure enough, when Chen Fengqi and his men rushed to Xiuying Fortress with the bomber that appeared again, there was also a dense jungle of barbed wire and trenches after trenches.

Fortunately, this team is Chen Fengqi's old team. They were bombarded on the sea and went ashore. When they saw such a desperate defense, they still did not collapse on the spot, and even organized an attack!

During this attack, Chen Fengqi obviously came with the determination to succeed if he failed. He invested all his troops to charge, but he didn't even have a reserve team, leaving only the supervisor team to be ready to shoot and kill deserters at any time! He knew very well that his team had no fighting spirit, and his morale fell sharply along the way. As long as he was hit once, he would not expect a second chance!
