Chapter 257 Outlying Island Exposure
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Fur Swamp returned to the naval port with the captured warships and prisoners of war. This time, Sir Mrak could no longer draw enough troops from the army to receive the prisoners. The newly trained 500 marines will temporarily undertake this task. The task is to **** all the prisoners of war to the naval barracks and disarm them.
After Qu Mao told Fuer Swamp of Sylvia Ocean's decision, Fuer Swamp laughed mercilessly, thinking that Qu Mao should not underestimate Sylvia Ocean.
And Qu Mao suddenly realized that there seemed to be a systematic deviation in his treatment of prisoners of war, that is, the prisoners of war should not be escorted to the villages in the territory of Yi Village, but should be found in a random field, and after clearing the ground, build a few defense towers at random , relying on the defensive towers can guard the prisoners of war, without occupying the precious army forces in the territory of Yi Village.
But it seems good to change this idea now, so Qu Mao communicated with Su Yan overnight and explained his thoughts. A defensive tower only needs to guard two ordinary citizens, and it can identify friend and foe and automatically attack rioting prisoners of war. function.
Su Yan said that she started to organize the people to do this in the early morning of the next day, but Qu Mao asked Su Yan to drive the prisoners overnight to the valley diagonally opposite the small military village to build a prison camp as required.
Anyway, the prisoners of war refused to surrender, and it was useless to keep them. On the contrary, the risk was too high. It is better to drive them to work overnight.
Su Yan had no choice but to get up and start organizing the prisoners of war, and drove the prisoners of war to work late at night. Naturally, the army needed to **** them, so the army did not rest in the middle of the night.
The Ye Mingzhu given by Lai Diema is still in Qu Mao's hands, so not only Su Yan has to stay up late, but Qu Mao is no exception.
Rush to about one kilometer diagonally opposite the small military village, next to the stone road from the small military village to the small village of Nanlai. Before Su Yan came over, Qu Mao set up two defenses about 6 meters away from the stone road. Tower, once Su Yan escorts the prisoners over, they can immediately arrange for the prisoners to guard the building.
At that time, an open space will be reclaimed in the forest on one side of the road, and a blank area with a diameter of about 100 meters will be surrounded by five defensive towers. 100 meters is just the best range for the defensive towers. It can cover almost any blind spot on the entire open space.
In such a place of more than 8,000 square meters, no buildings will be built to withstand the arrows of the defensive towers, and even the marching tents will not be used by the prisoners of war. It is estimated that there will be no problem guarding thousands of prisoners of war.
The only worry is that if thousands of prisoners of war riot, the defense towers at the five perimeters and the two entrances will not be able to keep up with the shooting speed. However, this is not a problem. At worst, build a few more defense towers.
At around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Yan escorted some half-starved prisoners of war from Midway Village to the construction site of the prisoner-of-war camp. Qu Mao had already arranged a total of eight defensive towers around the selected area, compared with the five originally planned by Qu Mao. There is one more defensive tower around.
Su Yan directly arranged for exhausted and hungry prisoners of war to go in to guard the construction, because the prisoners were in poor condition and the speed of guarding the construction was very slow.
Around 3 o'clock in the morning, Sir Mrak led 300 naval soldiers to **** the 316 prisoners captured by Fur Swamp that night, and replaced the prisoners led by Su Yan with these 316 prisoners. Only then did he rise up.
As soon as they were released, some prisoners of war who were guarding the construction surrendered. However, it was not time for meals, and neither Zhang Kai nor Zhang Da brought breakfast. These prisoners of war were destined to continue to be hungry for a while.
In order to save time, Qu Mao asked Jenny Water to lead the senior warrior team to use fire magic to clear the ground vegetation in the selected prisoner-of-war camp area, speeding up the construction of the prisoner-of-war camp.
The vegetation on the flat ground was cleaned up, and Qu Mao simply asked Jenny Water and her senior fighter team to clean up the vegetation around the defense tower, and then the prisoners who still did not surrender were driven to the center of the open space of the prisoner-of-war camp, and it has been announced The 31 prisoners of war who surrendered were arranged between the two defense towers at the entrance of the prisoner of war camp.
At around 5 o'clock in the morning, Sylvia Ocean sent a remote communication, telling Qu Mao that she had led two small warships to capture the wounded enemy warship released by Fur Swamp and brought it back to the naval port, and 189 enemy prisoners of war were captured along with the ship.
Qu Mao had no choice but to arrange for Sir Mrak to continue to go to the military port to receive the prisoners of war. In the remote communication, Qu Mao introduced his reforms on the prisoners of war to Sylvia Ocean, but Sylvia Ocean obviously did not care about the prisoners of war. Not very interested.
Sylvia Ocean just told Qu Mao that the newly captured warship was severely damaged, and that it might have to be towed to the shore of the naval port, otherwise the continued berthing would most likely cause the warship to sink in the naval port.
Speaking of this, Sylvia Ocean is also urging Qu Mao to speed up the construction of the shipyard as soon as possible, because two of the warships captured by the navy are already in a damaged state.
Qu Mao hung up the remote private chat with Sylvia Oshen, and began to calculate the strength of the navy. In comparison, the navy of Yicun Territory currently has 1 medium-sized warship, 2 small warships, and 1 complete small warship. , 2 damaged small warships, the complete small warship, as long as 500 newly trained naval fighters have the ability to go to sea, they can be directly installed.
There are still 26 enemy warships left, and the real combat power ratio has reached 4VS26 ships. On average, a warship in the territory of Yi Village only needs to face 5 and a half enemy warships. Compared with the initial 1VS40, I don’t know if it has been reduced. how many times.
Although there must be many heroes in the enemy combined fleet, not counting the army heroes, there are only two naval heroes in the territory of Yi Village. Now there is really an illusion that they can fight.
Stimulated by the 31 captives who surrendered, 97 captives surrendered one after another this morning. Qu Mao ordered the surrendered captives to enter the eight defense towers directly to be on duty after eating boiled corn. If the captives rioted, It means that these prisoners of war who surrendered in the early stage will kill their former comrades in person.
Su Yan suggested that Qu Mao build two more defense towers, and then replace the standing troops with a guard team composed of first-tier fighters, second-tier fighters, and zero-tier militiamen, and arrange for village chief Zhang Da to accept the surrender of the prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp. Now that the prisoner-of-war camp has been built, it is natural to liberate the standing troops in the territory of Yi Village to guard the prisoners of war.
Qu Mao readily followed Su Yan's suggestion, and when Sir Mrak escorted the prisoners captured by Sylvia Ocean over, Qu Mao immediately notified Sir Mrak to switch defenses according to Su Yan's suggestion.
When returning to the military port, Qu Mao found that Sylvia Ocean was watching the training of the naval soldiers on the dock of the military port, and did not go to rest, so he walked to Sylvia Ocean and said, "Sylvia Ocean , I don’t know what language to use to praise and praise our brave and invincible naval fighters, but people are not made of iron, Sylvia, you should go to rest.”
Sylvia Ocean slightly bowed her knees and saluted, and said: "My lord, the Navy will surely follow your glory and defend your honor!
My subordinates are not working hard. Now there is a warship in the military port. The subordinates hope that the newly trained naval fighters can board the ship as soon as possible and join the battle ranks. "
Qu Mao said: "Sylvia, fighting and rest must be combined with each other, and the battle with the Anti-Yi Village Alliance Fleet must be a long-term process and will not end in a short time.
So what I need is your ability to continue to fight and continue to win battles, instead of fishing for short-term wins. Rest is very necessary.
Sylvia, you have been fighting continuously for a long time. "
Sylvia Ocean smiled and said, "My lord, it's fine.
Master Su Yan built a prisoner-of-war camp diagonally across from the military village. His subordinates think that it is not even necessary, as long as we don’t capture prisoners of war.
The navy has captured more than 2,000 prisoners of war. Not counting the rioting prisoners who were killed, the total number of prisoners of war we should have surrendered and detained is more than 2,000, while the total population of our Yi Village territory is only 7,000.
If we don't need to capture prisoners of war, our battles will be more efficient, at least we don't need to salvage the enemy's drowning personnel. "
Qu Mao spread out his hands, and said: "Sylvia, in Su Yan's mind, prisoners of war and citizens are equated, and I actually think so.
You must know that the people we purchased in Yancheng and Baigang City are almost all captured, but they may not be captured on the battlefield like us. The largest expenditure item in the territory of Yi Village.
The biggest problem now is that the conversion rate of prisoners of war is too low. Although captured, prisoners of war often refuse to surrender. We know that there are hero prisoners of war among the prisoners of war, but we have no way to identify them. "
Sylvia Ocean breathed a long sigh, and said: "My lord, I will go to the prisoner-of-war camp for a while, if you have other things, please go to them first.
The subordinates will train the naval soldiers for a while, and then go to the prisoner-of-war camp to see the prisoners of war. In the afternoon, the subordinates will probably sleep. "
Qu Mao nodded, and returned to the four-story brick house in the small military village.
Who knew that just as Qu Mao returned to the fourth-story brick house, Jia Sixie's application for remote communication was sent over.
After connecting to the communication, Qu Mao asked, "What's wrong? Jia Sixie!"
Jia Sixie said: "My lord, the outlying island has been exposed! According to the news from the watchtower around the shipyard, a total of 21 enemy warships are sailing along the sea three kilometers from the coastline of the outlying island, and they are probably looking for a landing point."
Qu Mao asked suspiciously: "How did you see 21 enemy warships?
Damn it! I'm afraid another five enemy warships have already landed somewhere! Jia Sixie, don't panic, I'll arrange troops right away. "
Another new month, 2021 is almost over!
