Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 671 Joint Operations 1
Tsushima Island is sandwiched in the middle line of the Tsushima Strait, covering an area of ​​more than 700 square kilometers.If Jeju Island is the bridgehead for North Korea to resist Japanese invasion, then Tsushima Island is Japan’s outpost for resisting the invasion of the East Asian mainland. For thousands of years, the enemies of North Korea and Japan have repeatedly competed and saw each other on Tsushima Island. war.North Korea dreamed of controlling Tsushima Island and obtaining a springboard to attack Japan, but the army was always disappointing and could not defeat it no matter what.From Japan's point of view, the loss of Tsushima Island is unbearable. Using this as a springboard, the North Korean navy can reach Kyushu within three days. Can they still survive?Therefore, even though the king's flag is constantly changing at the head of Edo Castle, and the emperor and the shogun sit on a seesaw, up and down, no matter whether it is the emperor or the shogun who came to power, they will do everything possible to show their favor to the lord of Tsushima Island, without asking for anything else. , I just ask this buddy to help them keep an eye on the gate.

When the problem of Japanese pirates was at its worst, Tsushima Island was still an important nest of Japanese crowns. There are many mountains and few fields here, and most of the islanders make a living by fishing. When they seized the opportunity, they picked up a samurai sword and boarded a fishing boat and ran to the Korean peninsula. Killing people and setting fire, the North Korean navy chased them and drilled into the mountains and forests, attacking when advancing, and defending when retreating.North Korea regards it as a thorn in its side, and dreams of pulling out this thorn, but... the same sentence, no matter how good the strategy and tactics are, it is useless if the army fails to live up to expectations.When the Yuan army invaded Japan, the North Korean navy fought against others and bloodbathed Tsushima Island twice. This has become one of the few fond memories of the North Korean army during the millennium confrontation between Japan and Japan.Obviously, the North Korean army is now trying to relive their dreams—the Ming-Dutch combined fleet is much stronger than the fucking navy of the Yuan Dynasty. It is appropriate to bloodbath Tsushima Island.Yuan Xu, the general who led the North Korean Navy, asked Yang Menglong: "Master Hou, this Madoka Island has always been a thorn in our side, and we dreamed of pulling it out, but the power is not enough, please help us! "

Yang Menglong was very forthright: "You want to attack Tsushima Island, don't you? Let's say, we fired artillery to blow away the defense facilities of Tsushima Island. If you attack, you will kill the mother and leave no one behind!"

Yuan Xu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your success, we will definitely kill all the Japanese invaders on the island!"

Colonel Metz said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, we shouldn't stay here for too long. It's October, and storms often blow along the coast of Kyushu. If you don't enter the port in time, the ship will be destroyed. You shouldn't Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the Yuan army?"

Yang Menglong said carelessly: "It only takes one day to take Tsushima Island, it's not a problem. I said, old Shen, let your sailors exercise their muscles and bones, don't just sit around all the time, I will get angry when I see it!" "

Shen Tingyang said: "Obey!"

Following Yang Menglong's order, the Transformers fleet lined up and rushed to the port of Tsushima Island.

At this time, thousands of Japanese samurai had already assembled in Matou, the port of Tsushima Island.Don't forget, when the weather is good, you can climb the highest peak of Tsushima Island and you can see Busan. With such a large fleet, the possibility of trying to hide from the lookout posts all over the island is infinitely close to zero.Now the big bell on Tsushima Island is being rang frantically, and the islanders in ragged clothes are constantly rushing to assemble with weapons, preparing to meet the enemies who may invade them.Yang Menglong clearly saw through the binoculars that the weapons and equipment of the Japanese islanders who rushed over to gather can only be described as "terrible". The high-end katana swords are only available to clan samurai, and ordinary islanders carry kitchen knives and axes. There are not a few handsome guys wearing sacks on the lid of the pot, and even more people are holding bamboo guns.This disappointed him greatly. When he played Age of Empires, he felt that the Japanese samurai were too elite and powerful, but in the Ming Dynasty, what he saw was such a group of people!He yawned and said, "Colonel Mays, our shells are relatively expensive, and it's not worth wasting them on this mob. You guys should come."

Colonel Mace is full of black lines. Your shells are expensive, but our shells are cheap?But everyone is a cooperative relationship after all, so we still have to give some face. Under his command, more than a dozen Dutch warships surpassed the Transformers fleet that retreated angrily. .

At this time, a fast boat from the port sailed over quickly, and it seemed that it should be sent by Tsushima Island to communicate and negotiate.Colonel Mace was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and ordered: "Fire!"

Boom boom boom boom———

The sound of the cannon was like thunder in midsummer, and it exploded above the vast waves. A large black cloud suddenly rose on the blue sea, and the muzzle fire erupted. pier!There was a sudden panic on the pier. The Japanese on the island never dreamed that the Dutch would turn their faces so quickly. They fought as soon as they said they wanted to, without even giving a reason. , many people's legs were weak, and they sat on the ground, and most of them escaped from the pier with their hands and feet. They have dealt with Hongyi ghosts and animals in recent years, and the Japanese know more or less The artillery is powerful, this thing is not something that flesh and blood can resist, it is better to run away from far away.

The hit rate of the first round of shooting was very poor. Most of the shells hit the sea, stirring up rows of tall water columns and screaming on the pier.The Dutch sailors cleaned the gun chamber as quickly as possible, reloaded the shells, and fired again. This time, most of the shells successfully hit the pier. Unfortunately, the people on the pier had almost escaped. This round of shelling failed to cause any casualties. .The corner of Yang Menglong's mouth twitched, and he made a very objective evaluation of the two rounds of bombardment, which were massive but extremely ineffective: "Poor!"

A second-hand translator translated this sentence to Colonel Mace. Colonel Mace shrugged helplessly. What can he do? The main function of cannons these days is to shock the enemy's morale, destroy the enemy's morale, and disrupt the enemy's morale. The formation of the army, as for the amount of damage, that is secondary, especially when the naval artillery bombards the infantry on land. With a scumbag rate of fire every 1 minute, how effective do you expect it to be to the enemy?
In any case, two rounds of bombardment beat the Japanese samurai out of the pier and vacated the landing field, which is already very ideal.The Dutch fleet continued to fire and suppress, and the North Korean fleet rushed to the dock in a swarm.Probably because they have attacked Tsushima Island many times, the North Korean navy knows the situation here very well, and the whole landing process was extremely smooth. In just half an hour, more than 1000 North Korean soldiers landed on Tsushima Island. They cooperated tacitly. , The process was so smooth that even Yang Menglong couldn't help nodding his head. It seems that these sticks still have two brushes.

Wu Sheng said: "It seems that we can take Tsushima Island without any effort."

Yang Menglong said: "Should it be? These boars are really hard to beat!"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of killing on the pier, and the Japanese samurai who had just been blasted out of his wits by the Dutch naval guns rushed out with a samurai sword, his face distorted, howling.The North Korean sailors who landed successfully let out a cry of surprise and fell into chaos. The Japanese samurai moved extremely quickly and crashed into the unformed formation of the North Korean army in an instant. Cut off the weapons and bodies of North Korean soldiers, swung the knife down, and the armor was leveled!The North Korean soldiers were killed to the ground, and it was extravagant to describe them as defeated like a mountain. They were simply defeated!

Yang Menglong was dumbfounded: "Is there a mistake? Is it so powerful?"

Wu Sheng hated that iron is weak: "I only know how to fight alone, but I don't know how to fight in formations, or to fight with the few, and even kill the North Koreans!?" He shook his head incredulously, "I am right There is no hope for the combat effectiveness of these North Koreans!"

Yang Menglong said: "You should say a few words less. Let our prisoner go, otherwise it will be difficult to explain!"

Wu Sheng said: "Understood." He ordered the 160mm long-barreled mortar to fire two flares at the sky above the pier, first to frighten the Japanese samurai, to buy some time, and at the same time put up a semaphore to let the criminal army land.

With two bangs, two flares were fired, one fell into the sea, and the other opened a parachute over the pier, and the phosphorous powder burned violently, emitting a dazzling glare.There was a huge exclamation from the originally chaotic battlefield. The Japanese samurai and the bloody North Korean sailors all looked at the sky in horror. Suo Ye was so frightened that he almost shattered the telescope, and exclaimed in horror: "This... this is witchcraft! This is witchcraft!"

Regardless of whether it was witchcraft or not, the Denglai New Army successfully used this flare to stun the murderous Japanese samurai. Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of small boats shot towards the pier like arrows leaving the string.The soldiers on board were all wearing steel helmets, iron armor, holding crossbows, and a horizontal knife around their waists. The leader of these troops was Yuan Zongdi, who was moved to the Denglai served hard labor and was tired of the boring life in the labor camp. Now that he returned to the battlefield again, his blood boiled and he kept yelling: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Beheading one level will reduce your sentence by half a year. Good opportunities don’t come every day, and if you don’t hurry up, the North Koreans will snatch them all! We waited for a year for such an opportunity, are you willing to continue to stay in the labor camp as prisoners!?” And The army of criminals under his command also had blood in their eyes, wailing and yelling with all their might, rowing the boat like swordfish.The boat was still far away from the shore, and the criminals couldn't wait any longer, they jumped on it, and formed a formation quickly.Until now, the Japanese samurai finally realized that they had been fooled, and left the North Korean sailor who was killed by them, and rushed towards Yuan Zongdi screaming.

They picked the wrong opponent.Yuan Zongdi and his brothers are ruthless people who have fought in several provinces in the northwest of Daming. They kill each and every one of them. They are bold and eat wars. Except for the iron fist of the Heluo New Army, there is nothing in this world that can scare them There are really not many things left.Compared with the iron fists of the Heluo new army and the rough sea, the enemy in front of them really made them feel safe. These Northwestern men kept a daunting silence, looking coldly at the man who was more than a head shorter than them The Japanese samurai rushed towards him wielding an exaggeratedly long katana, stepped on the machine in an orderly manner, and opened the tenon that held down the crossbow arrows in the arrow box... With an order, hundreds of formation-breaking crossbows brushed together It was aimed at the Japanese samurai who rushed over like moths to the flame!
