Chapter 1251

The fleet was in chaos after all. The two ships collided one after another, but the reason was that the first ship hit the reef. Luo Zifang could clearly see that the first ship gradually tilted. It was obvious that the sea water poured into the lower cabin. It was still a few miles away from the coast. In this climate, the soldiers had almost no hope of survival. The second ship was even more lucky. Because they did not discover the condition of the first ship in time, they still moved forward straightly until they were close to each other. However, it seemed that it was too late at this time. Whether it was turning the rudder or reclaiming the sail, nothing was helpful. The second ship hit the first ship without any obstacles, and immediately tilted the first ship, which was already a little overwhelmed. The second ship also encountered the reef that the first ship also encountered when they had close contact with the first ship. The surging sea water almost squeezed into the cracks at the bottom of the ship, and almost all of the more than 300 soldiers fell into the water.

Luo Zifang clenched the fist in his hand, and he could only watch the tragedy happening in front of him. At this time, he could only use waterproof lanterns that were not easy to detect to approach and rescue the soldiers who fell into the water. However, when the surrounding ships approached to rescue, at least 70% of the soldiers had been buried at the bottom of the sea. The thick cotton jacket and leather armor were the fatal roots. Once they fell into the water, the cotton jacket that had absorbed enough water was almost heavier than the iron armor. In this case, the soldiers who were not water-free even had the chance to call for help and sank to the bottom of the sea. Most of the lucky ones who were left were water-oriented or flexible enough. With the help of everything that could float on the ship, they took off the things that could be discarded on their bodies in a few strokes. Only in this way could they struggle until the arrival of the surrounding rescue ships.

Luo Zifang no longer had time to feel heartbroken by such a tragedy. If he could not hurry up and enter the safe waters and log in in time, he would be afraid that only others would come to recite the eulogy for himself. Just such a rescue was delayed for nearly an hour, and at this time, time was almost the key to determining the entire battle situation. Ordering all ships to move forward, and the small boat ahead had sent a signal back, everything was safe and proceeded according to the plan. Wasting time wasted life and everyone's life. Luo Zifang did not want to become the first general of the Western Xinjiang to be buried in the land of Duoduo.

The responders lurking among the reefs were already extremely anxious. The fleet that should have landed still failed to dock successfully. A large number of ships were stumbled and swaying there. However, the places suitable for landing were all the key patrol areas of Duoden people. To avoid Duoden people's patrol team, you can only take a risk in this regard.

As the first ship finally successfully landed, the subsequent ships also approached step by step. Dozens of ships were crowded together layer by layer, and just a fire could make these thousands of people burned. Luo Zifang had to admit that he had some adventure this time. No matter how he imagined it before the war, he would only realize that the previous preparations and arrangements were far from enough. There would always be many accidents, and almost all of these accidents were unfavorable factors.

When Luo Zi stepped on the hard reef in the first step, he took a breath. As the ships became closer, the horizontal plates were quickly laid among the ships. The soldiers quickly gathered together and divided into groups of troops along the horizontal plates from far to near. At this point, the soldiers seemed to have smelled the smell of victory. Everything seemed to be orderly. The fleet was like a huge passing machine, constantly spitting out the soldiers from the ships, and the group of soldiers gathered on the shore continued to expand, and then it became two and three.

The majestic Hailan Fortress lies like a lie between two cracks in Chaziling. The fortress is built along the mountain and is in a semi-trapezoidal shape. There is still a huge gap between the main city and the outer city. From south to north, if you want to cross the outer city and enter the main city, you must not only face the attacks of crossbowmen and various defensive weapons on the outer city, but also face the attacks of giant catapults that lie high above the top. In this case, although you dare not say that you can't open the door, it is almost impossible to break through the Hailan Fortress from the front without paying several times the price.

However, the Western Xinjiang Assault Army, which landed on the Snake Colon Point, successfully avoided this natural barrier and came from the sea to make Hailan Fortress lose its main function as a fortress. From north to south, the main city of Hailan Fortress was almost built between two ridges, but the south was extremely steep, while the north was relatively smooth. Following Snake Colon Point into the deep hills, the dark night caused operational difficulties for the Western Xinjiang Assault Army, but it also brought great cover to the entire assault cluster.

The Dutun people obviously ignored this area at the foot of their fortress. In their opinion, this section of the sea not only has complex sea conditions, but also has no suitable landing location. In addition, the dispute over where the main attack direction of the Western Xinjiang Army is placed has also weakened the army's vigilance in this regard. More people tend to launch a large-scale offensive in the Kuts area, especially the frequent mobilization and exercises of the First Corps of the Western Xinjiang Army, which is absolutely the main force in the Kuts border area, made Dutun people frightened. The Western Xinjiang Rangers learned from the intelligence department also poured into Yanshan Palace on a large scale from Yunzhong Prefecture to approach the Kuts area, which made many powerful generals of the Dutun military suspicious that the Western Xinjiang Army would break through in the central part of Kuts.

As for the warnings and reasons raised by Crawford, it was more regarded as a kind of teasing and notification of various troops. No one believed that the Western Xinjiang people proposed by Crawford valued the importance of maritime power and needed a good port. This sounded illusory reason, in their opinion, the heavy troops placed opposite the Kutz area in the Western Xinjiang area were the most realistic threat. As for Okhotsk, would the Western Xinjiang people really be interested? Many officers even mocked that even if the Okhotsk defense line was opened, it might not be able to change the intention and attack the Okhotsk area.

Of course, this warning reminder is not without any effect. At least the garrison stationed in Hailan Fortress still expressed respect, but this warning seemed to have a counterproductive effect. In order to strengthen patrol control, Hailan Fortress garrison even drew two teams of thousands of people to station at Okhotsk Port and strengthen patrols in the neighboring areas around Okhotsk Port. This seems to be a good thing, but objectively weakened the defense power of Hailan Fortress.

Luo Zifang suppressed the excitement in his heart and quietly lurked in the dead grass. On his head was the thick fortress wall. The wall was built of basalt rock unique to this area. It was quite smooth, but it was not an insurmountable obstacle for the assault army. The biggest obstacle had been solved, that is, the difficult landing and sailing. Now it is time to harvest.

The cold soil is so cute to Luo Zifang. He smelled the smell of the soil under him and inserted his fingers into the soil and rubbed it carefully. Luo Zifang even felt that this was a kind of enjoyment. Waiting before victory was like waiting for the award to be awarded a medal is the most satisfying, and it is even more spiritually pleasant than victory itself.

Dozens of assault soldiers jumped up almost in an instant. After a long wait, the observation post finally fired the lights of the patrol team on the city wall. According to the intelligence department's intelligence department, a second patrol team would pass by at least an hour, and one hour was enough to complete many things.

Dozens of pairs of grappling hooks suddenly shook and rose rapidly in the air, hanging lightly on the battlements of the city wall. The grappling hooks wrapped in sheepskin in the rest of the grappling hooks made no sound and grabbed the hard and smooth rocks. Dozens of selected soldiers immediately rushed up like monkeys on the wall. In just a few minutes, the first wave of soldiers had completed the climbing mission, and the second wave of soldiers also began to exert force and climb up suddenly.

When the first wave of soldiers successfully arrived on the city wall safely, Luo Zifang knew that his mission had been completed this time, and these soldiers were good players who had followed him for many years. Whether it was fighting on the battlefield or killing Luo Zifang alone, he was not inferior to the sniper troops of the old Western Army. The sniper troops of the Eighth Legion had not been formed due to time reasons, but Luo Zifang did not think that these men were much worse than the sniper troops of other legions. It is said that the Military Affairs Office intends to conduct a large competition for sniper troops in each legion. The competition event is the various special skills of the sniper troops different from ordinary armies. Luo Zifang was looking forward to it, and he also wanted to see what the sniper teams of various legions in Western Xinjiang are outstanding.

Fifteen minutes later, three groups of soldiers had successfully climbed the city wall. According to the intelligence and maps sent by the intelligence department, some quickly controlled the key points of the north gate of the fortress. They could only wait for the commander to implement the gate-winning battle as planned. Some sneaked into the central area of ​​the fortress to create chaos, disrupt the audio-visual, and cover up the real movements of the assault army. Some were ambushed at the intersections that the garrison must pass, preparing to snipe the leading officers when the garrison discovered the operation and delay the efficiency of the enemy's movement.
