The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Chapter 153: Sea and Land Counterattack

When the Red Flag Fleet's surprise attack plan succeeded, the balance of victory and defeat in the war began to tilt towards the revolutionaries. On the sea, no matter what, ships must be the most important. For the navy, warships are even more important than the lives of ordinary officers.

Therefore, after the Red Flag Fleet was able to clearly threaten the naval warships, the morale of the navy on the warships plummeted. The two vice admirals as military commanders also knew this very well, and at that moment, they wanted to leave the battle circle and return to the warships to stabilize morale.

Unfortunately, the cadres of the Revolutionary Party would not give them a chance. Whether it was the battlefield on Aokiji's side or the battlefield on Akainu's side, the Revolutionary Party's combatants began to use all means to try to completely delay the two biggest variables and never let them interfere with the decisive battle of the army.

At the same time, when the Red Flag Fleet launched a major counterattack at sea, on O'Hara Island, the battle between the two armies in the head-on battle had entered a white-hot stage.

Long before the war at sea began, the Navy's general offensive on land had already begun. Unlike at sea, relying on the advantage of numbers and the firepower cover of Akainu, the Navy on land had already penetrated the second line of defense painstakingly built by the Red Flag Army. Relying on waves of rotation offensives, the Navy easily achieved what the Navy could not do at sea.

Facing the naval forces that rushed in wave after wave, the Red Flag Army, which was outnumbered, could only face the challenge head-on. When the firepower in the positions could not effectively stop the naval attack, all the Red Flag Army soldiers who could still participate in the battle resolutely raised their bayonets and chose to fight bravely.

At the beginning of the battle, when a large number of Red Flag Army soldiers had not yet recovered, the attacking navy relied on the advantage of numbers. When the navy's vanguard rushed to the position, they were surprised to find that the number of Red Flag Army soldiers defending the position was pitifully small.

After realizing that the defenders in the position were empty, the navy, whose confidence had been hit by the Red Flag Army in the battle, regained its morale. The navy, which had previously avoided fighting the Red Flag Army, now dared to boldly launch a large-scale attack on the defense line guarded by the Red Flag Army.

However, what the attacking navy could never have imagined was that even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they were unable to defeat the few Red Flag Army soldiers in front of them.

The navy originally thought that the Red Flag Army relied on their advanced firearms to fight. But they didn't expect that even in a hand-to-hand fight, a small number of Red Flag Army soldiers could suppress the Navy with superior numbers through their superb organization.

At this time, the officers of the navy could no longer bear to watch, and they began to go down to support the battle. Relying on the strong individual combat power honed by the officers in the New World, the navy suppressed the fearless Red Flag Army in the hand-to-hand combat. As more navy troops were deployed to the battlefield, the battle line gradually shifted deeper into the positions built by the Red Flag Army.

Facing the general attack of the navy led by the naval officers themselves, the Red Flag Army fighting on the front line had no better solution. All they could do was to do everything in their power to stop the navy's advance.

Of course, the defending Red Flag soldiers were not completely without reinforcements. Their perseverance was initially to buy time for the recovery of other Red Flag soldiers who had lost consciousness in the position. As they held on for longer and longer, Red Flag soldiers who had just recovered gradually came to support them from all over the position.

Although they were not a force that could immediately turn the tide of the battle, with the help of these soldiers, the Red Flag Army soldiers, who had been gradually losing ground on the battlefield, miraculously persevered. They relied on the will in their hearts to withstand the attack of the navy.

In this regard, the officers who have been fighting pirates in the New World for many years know that they must not give the Red Flag Army any chance to breathe.

The landing navy then deployed all its reserves to concentrate all its strength to break through the defense of the Red Flag Army. Even the navy chefs could not stay out of the fight. Their kitchen knives were also considered weapons, so they had to participate in the war.

The navy's intention is very clear. They want to take advantage of the opportunity when the naval landing force still has a great advantage and directly break through the Red Flag Army's second line of defense in one go.

Given the current situation, this is probably the only chance for the navy. If the Red Flag Army on the battlefield is allowed to drag on time, I'm afraid even this opportunity will not come again.

The navy, which had deployed all its reserves, had greatly strengthened its offensive. The Red Flag Army soldiers fighting at the forefront were now completely trapped in the navy's human wave tactics.

Although some Red Flag troops had recovered and were continuously sending reinforcements to the battlefield, this amount of reinforcements was still insignificant compared to the Navy's general offensive with all its reserves.

With the reinforcements, the speed at which the navy's offensive front shifted backwards was significantly accelerated. All the navy officers had already arrived at the battlefield, and they were also fighting with all their might. With this support, it seemed that breaking through this line of defense was just around the corner.

"Damn it, why can't we get through? We're only one step away, why can you still persist?" The naval officer from the first batch looked at his old opponent in front of him with some unwillingness. He was the one who stopped him the first time.

"You want to pass through our defense zone? Well, there is only one way, and that is to step over my dead body." The revolutionary laughed proudly. Then he turned serious and said, "If you can't do that, then stay here. This is a place you will never be able to cross."

The angry naval officer could no longer bear it and rushed towards his opponent again with a long sword that was faintly black. The Red Flag Army cadres were not to be outdone and also rushed over with a broken gun stock in one hand.

However, what neither of them noticed at this moment was that the broken buttstock actually had black color wrapped around it.

That's right, after a high-intensity battle, the defending Red Banner Army has been at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. But a blessing in disguise. Compared with an advantage, a disadvantage is more likely to exert greater pressure.

Under this pressure, a number of Red Flag Army soldiers have begun their transformation. Some of the more gifted soldiers have been able to put their new knowledge into practice in combat. All Red Flag Army soldiers have grown rapidly in combat.

Compared to this, the navy at this time had no more strength left. Although it seemed that they were only one step away, this last step was like a natural moat in front of the navy. The turning point had quietly arrived.

It was a coincidence that O'Hara's sea and land battlefields had experienced a turning point at the same time. Perhaps, everything was destined, and the great counterattack had quietly arrived.
