Chapter 1029 Hope Oilfield (3)

The dead cannot speak. For the time being, Morgan has no other way to confirm which tribe these natives are from, let alone blindly organize an active attack. The only safer way to deal with it at the moment is to gather the team to strengthen defense and prevent the opponent from returning.

Reinforcements were moved in and a large-scale attack was carried out.

If the natives killed by the sentries were from the tribe on the other side of the mountain ridge, and the straight-line distance between the two places was only five or six miles, then it would only take a few hours for the other side to organize a second wave of attacks. Morgan could just take advantage of this period

Time has come to redeploy the troops under his command and set up a strong defense line outside the valley camp. Although the troops here currently only have one company, in Morgan's opinion it is enough. If the natives have the courage to come again, then

Morgan wouldn't mind carrying out a killing here that was destined to have a one-sided outcome.

Although this unit is not as good at performing combat missions in mountainous and jungle environments as the special operations battalion, it is still no problem to rely on the camp to fight defensive battles. When the soldiers were previously commanded to cut down trees, they also consciously arranged to clear the outer areas first, so that

An isolation zone with a relatively wide view was formed on the periphery of the camp. Morgan deployed defensive forces in the woods that had not yet been cleared. If the enemy attacked, it would be difficult to see for a while how many people were in the woods and how they were constructed.

Line of defense.

The three-piece set of deer fortifications, barbed wire fences and trenches on the defense line of Haihan Field Camp were partially completed yesterday. Although these defenses cannot surround the camp, they can indeed effectively reduce the defense area and deploy limited forces to several areas.

A key firepower output point. Of course, there can be no big scenes such as cavalry charges in this kind of ravine. Considering that the barge fleet needs to transport too many materials and the actual environmental conditions in the mountainous area, no cargo was carried into the mountain this time.

Heavy weapons such as artillery. The existing defenses and the rifles in the hands of the soldiers are enough to keep the natives who use cold weapons from the defense line.

Morgan deployed three platoons on the defense line facing inland, and left one platoon to take charge of the water surface. Although no native boats have been seen on Houlong River until now, Morgan still did not dare to take it lightly and still maintained

However, it is much easier to defend on the water than on land. The water surface of Houlong River in the mountainous area is already relatively narrow, and there are no obstacles blocking the sight on the water surface. The Haihan Army can use the weapons at hand to attack the water surface relatively easily.

Implement fire blockade.

Although after the garrison mission was changed, there were fewer manpower to build the camp, but the project would not stop there. Liu Shanxia and Bai Kesi continued to direct a small number of migrant workers to clear the ground and build prefabricated houses in the designated camp area.

However, the oil drilling project had to be stopped first. First, Morgan believed that the steam engine driving the drill pipe was too noisy and could easily expose the target. Second, the derrick that had been erected was also requisitioned by the military and temporarily served as an observation tower.

.

Morgan does not intend to let Baikes and others join the defense line. These people are all technical talents in the time-travel team and have irreplaceable importance in their respective positions. Their personal safety is even greater than that of the Hope Oilfield itself.

It's more important. After all, it won't affect the overall situation if the oil field is exploited later, but if something happens to the time travellers, it will be an irreparable loss. The current situation does not require them to take risks, but in order to calm people's hearts, Morgan still

Let them carry the issued pistols with them in case of emergency.

Although Morgan and others knew that their own strength did not need to be too fearful of the local indigenous armed forces, this situation of me being in the open and the enemy in the dark still made them feel a little uneasy. Because of this, when a group of natives three hours later

When the soldiers appeared on the hillside about a mile away from the camp, Morgan's mood became lighter - the sooner the natives appeared, the sooner he could solve the problem. If these guys had been hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to do something

A surprise attack would be a real headache. If the other party takes the initiative to gather troops and launch an offensive, it can save Haihan a lot of trouble.

"Everyone enters the combat position and is not allowed to open fire without permission. Get the person over first!" In order to prevent someone from firing and startling the enemy, Morgan immediately issued a combat order. Although the Haihan Army's weapon performance had an absolute advantage, Morgan still hoped to be in the battle.

Try to increase the hit rate as much as possible, and strive to keep all the natives who are attacking this time. Although it is still unclear how many native warriors have come, it can be inferred from what has been observed that at least 100,000 native soldiers are active in the forest.

There were as many as forty or fifty people.

The native soldiers watched on the hillside for a long time before the team slowly moved towards the Haihan camp. Although the natives were extremely careful to hide their whereabouts, their figures were still exposed in the telescope early. See

Morgan has been mostly reassured by the bamboo spears, bows and arrows in the hands of these people. Although the natives' bows and arrows also have certain long-range killing capabilities, their accuracy is far from comparable to that of rifles.

Morgan had carefully looked at the native weapons previously seized at the coastal camp. The stability and firing speed of bamboo bows and arrows were very limited. Hits from 20 meters away could only rely on faith. At this distance, the Shanghai Han rifle

The firepower output and accuracy were enough to make them die over and over again.

The tactics Morgan designated to deal with the massed offensive of the natives were also very simple and crude. They were to put the opponent within fifty meters, wait for them to start charging with all their strength, and then open fire, striving to quickly use intensive firepower at close range.

Eliminate the opponent's effective forces. This is indeed the most suitable combat method for the Haihan Army, which specializes in volley and rotational shooting tactics.

The natives probably had some bad premonitions about the eerily silent forest at the foot of the mountain, so they spent a lot of time in the forest before slowly digging it out. The only information they got was that a group of foreigners came here.

people, and they were carrying lethal weapons, but they didn’t know exactly how many people there were and what their purpose was. This reckless attempt was indeed very risky, but their partners fell into the hands of this group of people and their lives and deaths were unknown.

No matter what, we must try to snatch him back. Besides, this group of people has taken root here, which is tantamount to an invasion for them. They will definitely not be able to rest assured if they do not drive the other party out of this mountainous area.

At this time, Bai Kesi had also asked the migrant workers to stop the construction. He came to Morgan himself and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do next?"

"Let everyone stay here first, no matter life or death." Morgan's tone was very firm, not wavering at all as his opponent gradually approached.

"Isn't this... a bit too much?" Bai Kesi also expected that the matter would not end well, but he did not expect that Morgan had already made such a strong determination. He has been staying in Sanya all year round, although he is a military engineer.

The head of the department, but in fact, there are very few opportunities to actually contact the military to perform combat missions. It is one thing to hear about the method of killing, but it is another thing to see it carried out with your own eyes. It is still somewhat incomprehensible.

accept.

Morgan heard the hesitation in his tone and guessed what he was thinking, so he immediately explained: "Old Bai, it was only three hours from the accident in the morning to the appearance of these natives. It is very possible that they can move in reinforcements so quickly.

It's the tribe in the upper reaches of Houlong River that I mentioned. It's so close to our camp, and its attitude is not friendly. We definitely have to clean up this tribe to allow the oil field to resume production with peace of mind. Now we need to solve it

A few, so we can use less effort when we raid his lair later."

Bai Kesi said: "We only have one company here. How many people are there? Why do we divide our troops to raid their lair?"

Morgan responded: "Of course not now. At least we have to capture a few people alive and ask about the tribe's situation."

Bai Kesi smiled and said: "Don't be like the natives I arrested before. After repeated interrogations, no valuable information can be found."

After the two chatted for a while, they saw that the natives in the forest were less than a hundred meters away from their defense line. Morgan signaled to be silent and asked Bai Kesi to retreat to a safe area to watch the battle. Bai Kesi knew that staying behind would not help Morgan defend the enemy.

, then he retreated as instructed and watched the battle with Tian Yeyou and Liu Shanxia.

Morgan took the terrain into consideration when deploying defenses. Although the planned camp was about one mile wide, if the natives wanted to rush into the camp from the front, there were actually only two passages leading into the camp. Other areas were not accessible.

There are trenches next to the barbed wire fence, and Luzhai and Juma are arranged in relatively flat areas. The area left for the opponent to launch an offensive is concentrated in two passages about ten meters wide. It is also the place where the firepower of the defense line is most concentrated.

These natives were probably observing repeatedly in the woods, looking for loopholes in the Haihan camp. Unfortunately, their skills were only for hunting wild beasts, and they had not received systematic military training. Although they were aware that the camp was full of dangers, they

Still he touched it slowly and leisurely.

The Haihan Army had already consciously cleared an area outside these two passages in and out of the camp. Although the span was only a dozen meters, for the infantry hiding behind the bushes, this distance was enough for them to get up, aim, and fire.

A complete set of tactical gun movements.

As the natives got closer and closer, Morgan could already see the white patterns painted with paint on their faces, as well as the antler daggers hanging on their waists. The few natives leading the way were already looking around with their bows and arrows ready,

Morgan had no doubt that they would shoot their arrows as soon as they heard any disturbance. Morgan roughly estimated the number. At this time, there were about fifty native warriors walking out of the forest. It was difficult to tell whether there was anyone in the forest.

.However, Morgan plans to catch all of these people who have appeared.

Seeing that these natives had entered the range of fire coverage, Morgan decisively blew the brass whistle. As the sharp whistle sounded, rows of gun barrels stretched out from the forest and opened fire at the bewildered natives outside the camp.

After a crackling sound, the soldiers in the front row who fired stepped back to reload, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward to aim and fire. This set of tactical actions has been practiced hundreds of times for every soldier, and they are very familiar with it.

It's almost as good as eating and dressing. And at this distance, you don't need to be too precise in your sights. The intensive firepower is enough to make up for the shortcomings in this link.

There is no doubt that this was a completely one-sided killing. The first few natives were beaten to pieces by bullets fired from the camp without even understanding what was going on. Although the native soldiers who followed were

They tried to fight back, but they couldn't find the exact location of the enemy at all, and they didn't understand what the loud noise of the enemy in the forest was and why it could kill their companions from a distance. In addition to blindly shooting towards the opposite side.

Arrows and spears were thrown, and they could not find a more effective way to counterattack for a while.

However, this kind of long-range blind fire that relies on cold weapons is obviously impossible to compete with the Haihan Army's steady fire of four salvos per minute. In just a moment, dozens of natives who have touched the door of the Haihan camp are

Most of them had been shot and fell to the ground, losing the ability to continue fighting. Several natives who wanted to turn around and flee into the woods also fell to the snipers' guns. According to Morgan's arrangement before the war, these snipers under his command

The hands were specifically responsible for intercepting and killing those who tried to escape, and the soldiers repaid Morgan's trust well with accurate kills.

After most of the people fell, the few survivors finally found that the only way to save their lives was to lie on the ground in a pool of blood of their companions to save their lives. For these native warriors who once dominated the forest,

That said, it is really not an easy task.

When no one was seen standing outside the Haihan camp, the officers finally gave the order to stop shooting. The smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the forest, reminding people that a tragic battle had just ended here.

Under the cover of the sniper, a group of soldiers slowly walked out of the camp and began to clean up the enemies who had fallen on the ground outside. Seeing that the situation was determined, Morgan did not rush to check the results of the battle outside the camp, but first checked the status of his own casualties.

Fortunately, the natives' blind counterattack in despair did not cause much damage. Most of the arrows and spears flew to unknown places. Only two unlucky ones were injured by the arrows in the chaos.

, but they were only non-fatal skin injuries, and medical soldiers had already stepped forward to bandage them.

Baikes and others had also come out of their hiding places and gave Morgan a thumbs up to express their appreciation. The battle just lasted only two minutes at most. They could defeat the incoming enemy so quickly, but our own side did not.

There were heavy casualties in the battle. Such results also came from Morgan's accurate judgment in advance and his effective command before the battle.

"It's over before I even understand it! It's not satisfying!" Only Liu Shanxia felt a little regretful that the battle ended so quickly, but the others obviously didn't take his complaints seriously.
Chapter completed!
