Chapter 785: Sunshine on Sumanda Island (5)

In fact, as early as when Mountain Eagle led his team to raid four large pirate gangs, he had already thought that the pirates would gather together for self-protection.

This is a simple truth, when encountering fierce tigers and wolves hunting, even the weakest animals will huddle together to survive, let alone the ferocious pirates?

Through the comet, he already knew that this vast sea area with a radius of thousands of miles was full of sixty or seventy pirates with thousands of people, and if the special team used this speed of ten days to raid one place, even if the pirates still stayed still, it would take more than six hundred days and nearly two years to do it. Not to mention that this intensity is too great, even if it is too late.

The special team came here to train and make a little money by the way, but it doesn't mean that they are here to exterminate pirates for the two countries on both sides of the Malacca Strait. Shanying knew that the Sino-Japanese war would soon break out in full force, and if they didn't hurry up, then they would probably not be able to rush back and fight devils with the 3,000 brothers of the Independent Regiment.

There is a sea route of 2,500 kilometers from Chinese mainland, which is not to say that whoever wants to go back can go back, just rely on those small steamers to not go hundreds of kilometers and sink in the rough sea. This kind of ocean-going voyage can only be achieved by large tons such as warships or merchant ships and passenger ships.

Therefore, from the beginning of the sweep of pirates, Shanying and Lu Dongshan formulated a plan ---- startle the snake. Use the bloody cruel reality to force the pirates to unite and annihilate most of them in one fell swoop, and then clean up the rest, which not only saves time, but also trains the island's guardians.

Without the real test of war, this group of natives, numbering in the thousands, may be invaded by pirates in the future, but this is absolutely not allowed. As the Commander of the Mission made clear in his message, the geographical location of this large island, located at the junction of the Sea of Sumanda and the Straits of Malacca, is critical and cannot fall into the hands of anyone else.

Although I don't quite understand why Liu Tuanzuo cares about an island nearly 3,000 kilometers away from Chinese mainland, Liu Tuanzuo's military orders have always been true to his word, and everyone in the independent regiment obeys them.

Since the Independent Regiment cannot devote troops to this island, it can only rely on the strength of the natives themselves, and before the special team leaves, not only to clear them of nearby pirates who may threaten them, but more importantly, to cultivate their own forces.

At the beginning of the raid on the pirates, more than 200 people were selected from the thousands of aborigines to form a team of 15 people, for a total of 15 squads with a total of 225 people. In the end, at the strong request of the comet, 15 female soldiers were selected to form another team.

The armed convoy on the entire island of Sumanda numbered 240 people, with two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns, as well as more than 60 rifles, more than 60 submachine guns and more than a dozen pistols.

However, Mountain Eagle knows that this is only from the point of view of equipment. In fact, of these 240 people, there are no more than 30 people who really have combat effectiveness, and even if there are dozens of members of the team who have been pirates under Nabaga who has already been killed, many of them have not even fired a gun. Especially seeing that they liked javelins more than rifles in their hands, Mountain Eagle knew better in his heart that if a group of pirates with more than a hundred armed men came to this island, the escort team that seemed to have a lot of numbers and equipment would still not be an enemy.

What they lack now is not equipment or people, but combat experience and blood, both their own and the enemy's.

Only fighting, only sacrifice, can make this group of residents who originally hunted and survived in the jungle and the sea become real warriors.

Even if they don't want to dominate this sea, a group of sheep surrounded by jackals will sooner or later become food for the jackals. In this day and age, there are many things you have to do if you don't want to do them. If you are backward, you will be beaten, but this truth is not only applicable to one country in China, this truth is the world.

It took twenty years of humiliation for the aborigines of piracy to grasp this more deeply than the Chinese soldiers.

So not only did no one refuse, but they all actively participated in the escort and participated in rigorous military training. Not only that, but the Council of Elders even prepared a reserve of up to 200 people, which meant that if someone died in battle, they would immediately replace them, and they wanted to ensure that the 240 escort team was fully equipped.

For this reason, the rules that had been enforced for thousands of years in the aboriginal hunting party of young and strong people were changed, and women began to be recruited, just to keep enough young men to join the escort to fight the pirates.

They knew too well that if they didn't have the power to protect themselves, maybe more of their people would die innocently when the next group of pirates came.

This is actually similar to the situation faced by Huaxia now, if there is not enough strength to protect itself, the invading alien race will only act as recklessly as slaughtering pigs and dogs. At this point, many Chinese people are not as clear as these aborigines who are lonely overseas, and they feel that they can live if they live humblely.

But can humility be exchanged for the mercy of the invaders? Obviously, thousands of years of history in China and abroad have proved that it can't.

In the Central Plains under the rule of the Mongol army, the Han people were a fourth-class ethnic group, and their status was only slightly higher than that of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. And now the Japanese, who are eyeing the rich land of China, are much more ferocious than the Mongols, and they want not only resources, but also land to move to.

When one day, after the Japanese have completely established themselves in that land, will the Chinese people who are humble and alive still have the role of continuing to survive when they become cattle and horses?

Apparently not.

Because the aborigines understand this truth, they are very active. Not only did he form an escort team, but he also participated in four raids on pirate gangs and four brutal battles. Even with the strong raid of the special squad and the combat effectiveness far superior to that of the pirates, it is still very cruel for them who have only been trained for half a month on the battlefield.

In the four battles, except for the newly formed 16th Squad composed of women, the casualties of all the 225 escort team members who participated in the battle in rotation were as high as 25 percent, and more than 20 people were killed and more than 30 were wounded. The two groups of special teams led by Shanying and Lu Dongshan were seriously wounded and three people were seriously wounded, and no one was killed. But the result was the annihilation of 600 pirates.

Although there are only 170 people left in the escort team that has experienced the test of blood and fire, their combat effectiveness is completely different from that of more than a month ago. The two raids on the pirates before the pirates came on a bloody rampage, one of which was done entirely under the leadership of the comet, and the accompanying Eagle and the five special squad soldiers did not even fire a single shot.

It can be said that when the Eyeline of the Aborigines, located 30 kilometers away from Sumanda Island, lit a beacon to inform the island that a large number of pirates were coming, the armed forces on Sumanda Island were supplemented by 23 special forces from China, 2 second lieutenant officers, and the number of 240 aboriginal escorts.

What's more, in order to carry out the plan of scaring the snake for more than a month so that the snake can jump out and bite people, thousands of aborigines on Sumanda Island, under the guidance of Mountain Eagle and others, have already laid various traps in the landing locations around the island, waiting for the prey to take the bait.
