Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 22 Leaping Frog Landing (2)
The dark shadows of sails gradually appeared on the Haiqing Line, which finally made Huang Yuanchang's heart finally fall to the ground. As long as this army does not encounter God's difficulties at sea, it can be said that the whole battle will be more than half accomplished. up. The entire Dengzhou, Jeju, and Jinling now add up to a single division. When this elite division appears on this land, the shock it will bring to the north can be imagined .
It was Cheng Dayou's fleet that came. Due to the change of wind direction, the fleet was delayed for three hours before arriving at the target location, but this was considered quite accurate. Sailing at sea is not comparable to marching on land. In the vast sea, any accident may happen, and sometimes it is quite normal to delay it for a day or two.
Cheng Dayou truly felt that his trip was a complete success when he stepped on land. Because the fleet is a private ship, some small problems and malfunctions occur from time to time. Although they are quickly resolved and discharged, Cheng Dayou still has a feeling that something may happen at any time. Until this moment, when he stepped on the solid land, he felt that only at this time could he control his own destiny.
As the bow of the ship continued to dock, the soldiers who had been weakened by the wind and waves for two days began to disembark one after another. Maybe it's the earth's energy that can instantly restore one's spirits, and the soldiers immediately began to line up in high spirits. There was a lively scene of people screaming and neighing on the entire landing shore. At this time, there was no need to hide it anymore. The intelligence department had already arranged everything properly. The necessary logistical supplies have already been delivered. As long as they disembark and take a rest, a lively and murderous tiger and wolf army will appear in the hinterland of the East China Sea.
There are two attack lines in front of Cheng Dayou, one is to go north and directly enter Dengzhou. One is to go south and quickly go south to attack Jinling. According to the original plan, both Cheng Dayou and Liang Chongxin tended to attack Jinling Mansion City to connect Jinling Mansion with the whole of Jiangnan. In this way, the Jiangnan army could cross the Fanjiang line of defense unscrupulously, and the situation of the entire East China Sea could be clarified immediately, but The difficulty lies in the presence of Situ Tai's cavalry troops along the defense line along the river, and the Fifth Division of the 15th Army Corps stationed in Jinling Prefecture. Jinling City is obviously very difficult, unless there is an internal response in Jinling City.
Originally, the intelligence department had already made quite sufficient arrangements in Jinling City. As long as the assault troop arrives at Jinling City with lightning speed, the west gate in the city will be opened to welcome this troop into the city, but the news that comes makes the fate of this assault troop suddenly become uncertain. Martial law has already begun in Jinling City. Although it is unlikely that this raid was aimed at him, Cheng Dayou doubted whether the forces organized by the merchants would dare to launch an uprising under such circumstances. Falling into an extremely passive situation, a division went deep alone. Although the land of the East China Sea already hated Situ Tai's rule, Cheng Dayou understood the fickleness and timidity of the merchants very thoroughly, under the high-pressure intimidation of the army. It is difficult for them to perform well enough to be worth looking at.
However, going north to Dengzhou also faces huge risks. Although Dengzhou has only a relatively weak defense force, Cheng Dayou's assault force can certainly overcome Dengzhou in one fell swoop, but the north of Dengzhou is Situ Tai's old nest Yanyun territory , and the Japanese already had a fairly deep foundation in Dengzhou. If they rushed in easily, it was hard to say how Situ Tai and the Japanese would react.
The equally huge risks of the two routes made Cheng Dayou hesitate. This was something he hadn't expected before the war, especially the latest intelligence response from the intelligence department. Landing along the border area. Although the scale is not very large, and it has not yet entered the vicinity of Dengzhou Fucheng, it is enough to prove that Situ Tai is now frantic and wants to join forces with the Japanese. Cheng Dayou didn't know what kind of intention the Japanese were intervening in the situation on the mainland of the empire at this time. Before that, the Japanese gave more support to the north in terms of intelligence and funds, but now that the situation has become increasingly clear, the Japanese Also began to use the army to directly advance into Dayou. Some wondered if this was the attitude of the Japanese to test Xijiang. At the same time, they also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the Xijiang army with the strength of their own army. Obviously, they did not have any confidence in defeating Xijiang. , otherwise they would not choose to enter the mainland at this time. But this is also a signal that the Japanese are absolutely unwilling to see His Royal Highness King Qin unify the empire. They will use various means to hinder His Highness King Qin's unification plan. The unification of His Highness King Qin will directly threaten the place where they have reached a secret agreement with Situ Tai. Sovereignty of coastal islands. At this time, is it a good strategy to send troops to Dengzhou?
Furthermore, the landing point chosen was originally for the purpose of setting off in secret, and deliberately chose a more concealed passage to the south. The intelligence department also arranged a relatively complete logistical support for this. If you want to go north to Dengzhou, all of this will not be possible It's also a big problem with any guarantees.
Looking silently at the soldiers who were disembarking one after another, Cheng Dayou suddenly turned his head and said decisively: "Order the ministries that have not disembarked to suspend disembarkation, and the ministries that have disembarked will immediately arrange to carry supplies onto the ship."
A group of officers standing next to Cheng Dayou were not only stunned, but also stunned. They didn't know why the commander suddenly issued such an order. Is it possible to retreat?
"Didn't you hear clearly? Do you want me to give another order?" His voice suddenly turned sharp. Although Cheng Dayou's face was still not so good-looking, his words were firm.
"Marshal, can't we just withdraw back in such a desperate way? Even if Jinling Prefecture is not taken, we can still fight guerrilla warfare here. The people here have their own ideas, and we can completely stand here, and even keep going." Invite the attack to the east, and join forces with our other divisions!" Among the officers, the one who was obviously the leader protested.
"Who said I'm going back?" Glancing at the other party, Cheng Dayou roared angrily, "Hurry up and get on the boat for me, let the brothers hold on for a day, I will sweep Dengzhou within a week And Jeju!"
No one knows whether Cheng Dayou was stimulated or for other reasons. Under the yelling of the officers, the reluctant soldiers had to grit their teeth and return to the ship that made them miserable. A large number of materials originally used for the southward raid on Jinling were also carried onto the ship, and a seemingly perfect landing operation completely deviated from the track.
On October 19, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, Cheng Dayou personally led the First Division of the Eighth Army and more than 25,000 troops directly under the Army to land 60 miles south of Dengzhou. 30% of the ships were damaged and could not set sail. Returning, without any scruples, the First Division of the Eighth Army went down the mountain to pounce on the unsuspecting Dengzhou Fucheng. Three hours later, the Jinpeng Banner had been raised in Dengzhou Fucheng. The damage caused to the First Division of the Eighth Army of the Western Frontier Army was only three people injured, two of whom were accidentally injured when the shaft broke while driving a transport vehicle, and the other fell into the car due to excessive excitement while running. In the ditch fell below the head.
On October 24, 6991 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, Cheng Dayou confirmed that in fact, the entire interior of Donghai County had no much resistance~IndoMTL.com~ After leaving more than 4,000 troops directly under the Eighth Army Corps to guard Dengzhou , I personally led the first division to Jeju, and Jeju, which had no intention of resisting, declared a change of flag on the same day, and Jeju officially belonged to the rule of His Highness King Qin of Xijiang.
Cheng Dayou's series of landing operations like a storm swept to the hinterland of the East China Sea like a flood, making the entire empire feel the shock brought by this crazy guy once again. As if the entire Situ Tai's control area was cut into two sections with a single knife, the fall of Donghai in the north directly led to chaos in the entire Donghai County. Liang Chongxin, who originally planned to go north to invite the city guards, keenly discovered this opportunity and decisively The order has already embarked on the northward journey. The First Army Corps changed its marching direction and turned eastward, and joined forces with the rest of the Eighth Corps to attack Luyang Fucheng. On October 2, after a day of hard work, Luyang fell. The division collapsed, and Luyang officially announced that it would be merged into the territory of Xijiang. On October 3, the two divisions of the 15th Army Corps stationed in Pengcheng surrendered in desperation, and Pengcheng announced its attachment to Xijiang. Like an unstoppable flood rolling eastward, Cheng Dayou’s Dengzhou landing operation brought shocking power far beyond the value of the landing itself. His military operations in Dengzhou and Jeju won the hearts of the people in both places. This is of course inseparable from the early activities of the intelligence agencies, but more importantly, it shows that the hearts of the people in the entire East China Sea have turned. Situ Tai's rule here is like a paper lantern, which can be broken at a touch. The facts also proved this point. When Liang Chongxin led the First Army and Eighth Army to break the last confidence of Luyang's Fifteenth Army, the recovery of the entire East China Sea was irreversible.
