140 War of the Kingdom of Hawaii (Part II)
The Tang Army of Kauai achieved "zero casualties" in World War I, and Bai Nan naturally didn't think that this was anything particularly worth bragging, because there was only one thing that the Tang Army did before and after, that is, it fired a few shots at the other side, and then the other party collapsed on its own.

In fact, the losses of the Vahu tribe themselves were minimal, excluding those who were afraid that the Tang army's artillery would run away by themselves, the casualties of the Vahu tribe were less than twenty, most of them were minor wounded, and Kaio, the young chieftain, personally went into battle and cut off the head of one of the leaders of the other party.
In this way, the Kauai tribe was uprooted, and originally according to local customs, prisoners of war were basically executed, but at the suggestion of Bai Nan, the prisoner of war camp established by the Tang people was established locally, and the Tang people already had a relatively systematic and sophisticated experience in managing indigenous prisoners of war, such as the earliest Jiazhou Tongwa people, Yokuz and other Indians who were enemies of the Tang people, basically there was no uncontrollable riot, and there were some "well-reformed" ones, which were considered successful naturalization.
According to the agreement with Kaio, the Tang Republic will receive one-third of the women of the defeated tribes, and priority will be given. Chang Bin did this job with great interest, but when he came back, his face was full of sadness.
"This is a pit man, Bai Nan, why does your little Hawaiian lover look like a flower, those girls I saw on Kauai are simply dinosaurs!" Chang Bin was resentful.
Bai Nan laughed and said, "Meora is probably an exception, and Meora's appearance is not particularly in line with the aesthetics of Polynesians, but it is more in line with our aesthetics." If you think about it, these Hawaiians are still in a relatively primitive stage. The productive forces are underdeveloped. Nutrition is not guaranteed. Moreover, the sun and wind blow, there is no means of maintenance, and most of them are naturally rough. Meora is the chief's daughter, and she is very troublesome, plus she likes fruit and is good at sports, so she has a good figure. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Nan suddenly reacted to something. "Also, Meora is not my lover......"
Chang Bin patted Bai Nan on the back and said, "Look at you, what you say is so unconfident, we are all men, who do you need to fool." Although you are married, you are also in love, and you are glamorous. ”
Bai Nan immediately changed the topic and said, "In the next battle, I decided to separate from the Wahu side, of course, when Vahu went to war. We've sent at least one or two companies to help, but it's clear that we're moving with Vahu. It is easy for them to mess up our deployment and rhythm, which is still very unfavorable for us to practice the attack. ”
Chang Bin nodded: "Yes, but what kind of drill head is there, our enemy is just a group of natives, and they don't even have iron cold weapons. ”
"At least we can also train the offensive mode, especially the formation during the charge, I think our troops are still a little lacking, and it won't hurt to try more."
"You're the commander, it's up to you to call the shots." As an officer of the Marine Corps, Chang Bin actually served as Bai Nan's guard officer this time, and he led dozens of highly qualified Marines to form Bai Nan's personal guard unit, which can be regarded as a direct member of the command.
According to Bai Nan's deployment, in the next war, the combined forces adopted the mode of dividing troops, and Kaio, who was also a little wise, also deployed accordingly according to Bai Nan's division of troops. With two infantry companies as the core attack unit, Bai Nan launched an attack on the tribes of 1,000-3,000 in size, while Kaio sent one to two hundred Vahu warriors, whose role was not to fight in concert, but to collect the prisoners and occupy them after the Don army had broken through the enemy tribes.
Such an attack was obviously more effective, and within three days, the coalition forces had broken seven tribes in succession, and captured more than 10,000 people. The Tang army continued the previous practice in the battle, with the fire platoon of the infantry company using mortars and grenadiers to fire at the natives.
Although the resistance suffered by the Tang army was extremely limited, under the strict requirements of Bai Nan, all military actions of the Tang army were carried out in a clear and serious manner. From charging to covering, from encirclement to pursuit, under the command of Bai Nan, the Tang army was well organized and showed amazing efficiency.
Chang Bin couldn't help but praise Bai Nandao: "I said why did you get a naval colonel to command ground operations, our Colonel Bai is very skilled, your means are like commanders who have really been on the battlefield, although our enemy is weak enough, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if the enemy is a regular army equipped with modern firearms, in a few hits of our firepower and arrangement, eighty percent will be defeated." ”
Bai Nan was more cautious, and said: "It still depends on everyone's will to fight, if the enemy resists more resolutely, and also has a certain amount of firepower to counterattack, we will fight a little more difficult, but if we really encounter such an enemy, I will definitely choose to mobilize the regimental howitzers that we do not have this time, as well as the strength of the infantry battalion, to carry out more fierce artillery bombardment and armor impact on the enemy, and the battle that can be solved without human lives will be solved without human lives." However, the troops must still have the spirit of being able to fight tough battles and dare to fight and kill. ”
Chang Bin smiled: "So this time you ordered the soldiers to use white-knuckle combat against the natives on a small scale?" ”
"Yes, white-knuckle combat best reflects the bloody nature and will to fight of the soldiers. Although we are completely able to rely on firepower to achieve victory, our war this time is mainly based on the inspection of troops. Assassinating an enemy soldier with a bayonet is more courageous than shooting an enemy soldier with a gun. In fact, even if it is a white-knuckle battle, we also have a complete routine and style of play, focusing on cooperation rather than simply individual martial arts, and the enemy's weapons are really not powerful, so even if we fight white-knuckle battles, there are no serious casualties. ”
In the battle of the past few days, the Tang army did not kill soldiers, but more than ten people were injured, most of them were slightly injured by the weapons of the natives, not fatal, the unlucky two guys were injured by the blow arrows of the natives, and they were poisoned, but the military doctor quickly helped them deal with it, even if the body was relatively weak, but their lives were worry-free.
Through this short battle, the Tang army has assisted the Vahu tribe to completely sweep away the unexpected native forces on the island of Hawaii, and the chief of the Vahu tribe, Kaio, is also extremely complacent, ready to launch a fatal blow against the last great enemy. (To be continued.) )
