Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 110 Sea…
"My lord, there is a signal!" Zuo Shichang was awakened from his contemplation by suppressing the excited whisper of his subordinates. The expressed intent is transmitted.
"Sure enough!" Zuo Shichang jumped up excitedly, but soon he calmed down. As the coach, he needs to consider all factors, and the content transmitted by the semaphore does not seem to be completely in line with him He pondered the meaning of it with some doubts: "What's going on? Why are there only 130 transport ships and only 30 **** ships?"
"My lord, it seems that the Japanese are also divided into several groups to carry out landing operations. Their transportation capacity is limited. It is probably the limit to transport 40,000 people at a time, right?" The staff officer beside him reminded the commander, "Zhuzikou There is no news from there, maybe there is also a possibility."
"Well, it's very possible, but we can't wait any longer now. The outcome depends on one action. Pass on my order and order the squadrons to proceed according to the established plan. The first squadron will entangle the enemy **** fleet, and the rest of the fleet will Let me completely destroy the enemy's transport ship! Let Hong Tianlei concentrate on bombarding the transport ship for me, and never let a transport ship slip through the net! If one escapes, military law will be followed!" Zuo Shichang took a long breath and sank Give an order aloud.
The semaphore was quickly raised on the flagship, and dozens of warships wandering in this sea area quickly entered the combat state. The latest mobile thunderbolts were pushed onto the deck, and the small number of firecrackers equipped on each ship also began to actively prepare in the shelter of the ship's side, ready to start their maiden battle.
Ichiro Miyazawa had a bad feeling as soon as he set off from the Cook Islands. The strong northwest wind kept the entire fleet in a headwind state. Although the course and sail angle were constantly adjusted, such a strong northwest wind happened to be at a relative angle to the heading direction, and such constant adjustment of course and sail angle not only greatly increased the voyage The length also wears out the sailors. For Miyazawa Ichiro, who has always been somewhat superstitious, this is an ominous omen, but as the commander of the **** fleet, he dare not tell anyone this premonition, especially the lives of 40,000 army soldiers depend on him. I dare not speak nonsense.
In fact, he also knows that no one can change this order. The Liberians have already launched a big battle with millions of troops in the north of the Tang Empire with the Tang Empire Army. Now is the time to fight in full swing. It is said that both the Sithrow Army and the Kaman Army have made great progress, especially the Sithrow Army has cut off the connection between Datang and the Central Continent, and the Kaman Army has even rushed to Zhongzhou, which is not far from the capital of the Tang Dynasty. However, the most important Eastern Route Army seems to be in a stalemate with the Datang Army. At this time, it is time to show off with the army.
All these news came from Ito Tadami, the commander of the expeditionary landing force. Seeing Ito-kun's high-spirited expression, Miyazawa Ichiro also felt a little envious that the army was finally able to land on the mainland. Although the Crescent Peninsula can also be regarded as mainland land, the Doton people blocked the road to expand northward, and now the Yamato Army can finally get rid of all shackles and step into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty with great fanfare. As an officer of the Yamato Navy, although he could not set foot on the mainland, he was satisfied to be able to contribute to the Yamato Army. This sense of pride tempered the foreboding Miyazawa felt when the fleet set sail.
The bitter cold wind is blowing across the sea. Due to the serious shortage of transport ships, although a large number of civilian ships have been requisitioned. However, it is obviously impossible to send 100,000 people to the mainland at one time. 40,000 people have filled the entire fleet to the brim, and even had to reluctantly abandon a large amount of supplies when setting sail. Only in this way can we barely guarantee The ship will not capsize in the face of such a strong northwest wind. Ito Tadada was also a little worried about the supplies, but he thought that the fertile and fertile mainland land was waiting for him to conquer. As long as he landed on the land, everything on the land would belong to his army. There is no comparison with the wild lands of the Ryukyu Islands. It is also a great honor to be selected as the first batch of troops to land on the mainland.
There was a loud "click", and the hearts of Ichiro Miyazawa and Tadada Ito tightened at the same time. Turning their heads and looking, the mainmast of a transport ship seemed to be unable to withstand the strong wind and suddenly broke, losing The powered transport ship immediately whirled on the sea surface, Miyazawa Ichiro was secretly annoyed, there was nothing he could do about this situation, the number of soldiers crammed into each ship was too much, far beyond the capacity of these ships, He didn't agree to do this at first, but under the forceful request of the Yida, he had no choice but to agree, and now something really happened.
Seeing Miyazawa Ichiro's helpless face, Ito Tadada was also a little frustrated, and he can't blame him for that. The higher ups demanded that 40,000 soldiers must be sent to the mainland one at a time. He was also forced to be helpless. He is not willing to take risks, but there are so many ships, if you want to get there at once, you have to take risks.
Now we can only temporarily abandon this ship, delaying the landing time is fatal. Although the Datang Navy is not strong enough in this area, Miyazawa Ichiro is still unwilling to take even a little risk. They don't have the slightest combat effectiveness at sea. Once they fall into the water in such cold weather, the fools will know what awaits them.
Ichiro Miyazawa knows that the Datang Navy is developing very fast now, especially after their large warships have been helped by the Milanese, the number of them has continued to increase. decided, but equipment is absolutely critical to the Navy. Fortunately, the focus of the Tang people's navy seems to have always been on their navy in the Southern Ocean. Although the Great Eastern Navy was established, most of them continued to use some of the remaining ships of the original Tanghe Empire Navy, and only recently began to replenish new types of warships. However, it will take quite some time to get familiar with the ships and make these sailors and warships form an effective combat force.
Now the navy on Treasure Island has effectively attracted the attention of Datang Navy and Milan Navy. Jiangnan is always the most important to Datang, and the information here shows that the number of Datang Navy has been reduced to A level that is not enough to pose a real threat to himself is the main reason why Miyazawa Ichiro dared to take such a risk, otherwise, let his fleet of only 30 warships **** more than 100 warships that have nothing to do at sea. He would never dare to take on such a heavy responsibility for a combat-capable transport fleet.
Abandoning the transport ship that was still spinning in place, the huge fleet continued to advance eastward. This accident once again cast a shadow on Miyazawa Ichiro's heart. After crossing the Liugong Islands in front of him for an hour, he basically entered a safe area. Even if he encountered the Datang Navy there, Miyazawa Ichiro was confident that he would drag the Datang Navy Fleet and let the army transport ship land smoothly.
The stern whistle brought Miyazawa Ichiro back from his fantasy to reality, he hurriedly turned his head to see who had issued the highest alert whistle, and the lookout whistle on the mast blew crazily as if possessed by a demon. When the police whistle was raised, the shrill and ear-piercing scream almost pierced into Ichiro Miyazawa's heart and made him vomit. Suppressing the tension in his heart, Miyazawa Ichiro wished he could shoot down the **** lookout post with one arrow. Perhaps it was too much excitement for the lookout post to only blow the whistle, and even forgot to blow the whistle to the ship. The commander reports what happened.
When the lookout post finally woke up and reported to Ichiro Miyazawa what he had observed, Ichiro Miyazawa almost fell to the deck when more than 50 warships appeared on the Liugong Islands line. What the **** does this happen? Desperate gazes exchanged between Ichiro Miyazawa and Tadada Ito. What went wrong and was ambushed by the Tang Navy here? And how could the Datang Navy Fleet have such a powerful fleet appear here? Who is the Datang Navy fleet that appeared on the front lines of Quanzhou and Yuhang?
At this moment, Ichiro Miyazawa has vaguely understood~IndoMTL.com~He is almost certain that the ships that appeared in Quanzhou and Yuhang under the banner of Datang's Great Eastern Fleet must be Datang's secret ships from Eastern Samoa and Ludao The Great Southern Ocean Fleet transferred over there, and the main force of the Great Eastern Fleet who appears here now, but what can we do now that we know it? The unspeakable bitterness made Ichiro Miyazawa almost lose his ability to think, what should he do now? It is impossible for heavy transport ships to escape the pursuit of these naval fleets, and the thirty ships in their hands will be their only hope, but since the Datang Navy fleet dares to ambush here, it must be absolutely sure, thinking Thinking of the other fleet departing from the Ryukyu Islands, Miyazawa Ichiro could only lament his bad luck, but was caught by the Datang Great Eastern Fleet, and now he can only fight with all his strength and do his best.
A series of semaphores were quickly raised in the fleet, and the entire fleet quickly dispersed to prepare for the upcoming battle, while the clumsy transport fleet could only slowly follow the dispersed fleet and change formation and sail angles so that The fleet can avoid chaos in the battle to the greatest extent, and all this has to be hoped that the **** fleet can resist the all-round attack of the Datang Navy.
The largest naval battle since the founding of the Tang Empire finally broke out on the Liugong Islands! Jiangshan Meirenzhi Chapter 3 Sweeping Liuhe Chapter 2 Iron Horse Glacier Section 110 Ambush at Sea
