Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 8 The Tide

"General, the fog has cleared, and the target ahead is clear. According to the plan, three hours later, it will be close to ten miles north of the target port, which is our scheduled landing place." A very excited soldier's face appeared at the entrance of the watchtower, a little nervous in his respect, and he knew at a glance that he was a recruit who had just joined the army. The oil-soaked leather armor seemed to still have a slight oily smell, and the tight belt around the waist could be seen to be too tight at first glance. It would definitely make people feel uncomfortable if it was done for a long time, but he didn't intend to remind the other party, only after going through this, Recruits gradually become veterans.

I don't know if it's a psychological feeling or it's true. The arrogant officer always feels that the sea climate becomes a bit colder in autumn, but this is nothing to worry about for soldiers who have experienced many storms. The officer's eyes were straight ahead, and he didn't even want to glance down from the corner of his eyes. He just stared straight ahead.

"Understood, order the guerrilla boats in front to keep a distance, pay attention to the signals on the island, and send a signal to the troop carriers in the rear, so that they can speed up and catch up, and don't leave too far away." Words squeezed out between teeth, but The officer could still feel that some calves were swollen due to excitement.

"Understood, General!" The soldier's answer was crisp and powerful.

"Pass my order, speed up the ship, lower the second sail, pay attention to changes in the current, don't trust the chart too much, some reefs are not fully marked on the chart, pay close attention to the signal changes of the guerrilla boat ahead." Wei Wei With a sigh of relief, he took off the slightly heavy sharp waist knife and handed it to the lieutenant behind him, "Iwasaki-kun, the Tang people don't seem to have any preparations, I think based on our current speed, we can make Yun Yun in about two hours." The warship has landed. After the landing, we can concentrate our forces to storm Gaolong. According to intelligence, the Tanghe Navy in Gaolong Port only retains five insignificant patrol boats and two medium-sized warships. We only need one large warship to completely attack Gaolong. Sink them!"

"Mr. Nongzhong, your opinion is correct. The people of Tanghe have already focused their attention on the continental war in the south. Their water army is for the land war. The losses in the civil war were huge, which was very beneficial to us and the people. By taking Gaolong Port, we have a solid foundation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and no one can take it from us again." The guy called Iwasaki-kun is black and thin, with pale brows and dry eyes, but his eyes are extremely sharp, like a razor.

"Hmph, Iwasaki-kun should not be too conceited. My lord told us to focus on the army before leaving, and cooperate with them to completely occupy Treasure Island and completely control it. We can't go beyond the plan without authorization, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the second wave. Proceed." Although Nong Zhongjun with a square face is warning his deputy, the tone of his words undoubtedly indicates that Treasure Island is already under his control. There is no doubt about this, but we must ensure the next step plan, But it needs to be cautious and prudent.

The waves gently slapped the ship's side, but the entire huge fleet did not make a single sound, silently and slowly moving towards the rocky rocks on the island that had gradually revealed its outline. Looking up, the rugged cliffs are dark and indistinct. As the fleet approaches, the island is verdant with verdant trees, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance. The two selected landing points are on the east and west sides of Treasure Island, but the most important landing point is the Panshe Cape near Gaolong Port. From here, you can easily enter the inland along the edge of the shore cliff, and then go around to Gaolong Behind the port, as long as Gaolong port is taken, then most of the treasure island will be taken.

Numerous sharp and curved hooks were raised high in the hands of the soldiers, and the heavy iron anchor was also hung at the stern of the ship waiting to be anchored. The landing board with pulleys has also been pushed out, protruding out parallel to the side of the ship, just waiting for the last moment.

With a burst of violent shaking and "creaking" sounds, countless hooks accurately hooked the uneven rocks at the same time. As the landing board landed and swarmed up, the sound of "crackling" footsteps disappeared the moment they jumped off the landing board, and rows of soldiers came out of the cabins of the troop carrier, and lined up in neat queues to Move outside.

On the islands and reefs on the shore, guides and intelligence personnel in civilian clothes of the Tang Dynasty have already been waiting, like countless trickling streams, quickly passing the shore and climbing upwards. Countless large ships docked one after another, and the same procedure was repeated again and again. A stream of soldiers merged into the group of soldiers who had already assembled ashore, and continued to increase and expand.

"General, all ministries are already landing as planned. It is estimated that the landing will be completed in half an hour." The orderly reported the information again.

"Very good, you wish General Yamada a smooth journey on my behalf, and see you at Gaolong Port. Order all ministries to prepare for offshore sailing, and the task of bringing the troop carrier is over, and we will immediately head to the target." It was called Nongzhong Jun's general waved his hand proudly, indicating that his subordinates can start to prepare for offshore. As soon as the troop carrier completes the transportation task, the fleet no longer needs to be responsible for guarding and escorting, and he will devote himself to the next task, destroying the insignificant ship in Gaolong Port. Tang River Fleet.

On September 1, 698 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, the whole army of the reorganized Wodi Dadongyang First Navy Fleet was dispatched. Twelve large and medium warships and more than thirty small warships and guerrilla boats raided Gaodao Gao. In Longgang, the seven warships stationed in Gaolong Harbor by the Tanghe Empire were sunk except for two small patrol boats. At the cost of three people killed and nine injured, the Japanese navy completely blocked Gaolong Port. Immediately afterwards, the 12,000 landing Japanese army immediately surrounded Gaolong Port. After half a day of fighting, the Baodao garrison with less than one regiment stationed was completely annihilated. On September 4, all of Baodao fell.

At the same time, the Japanese also launched a full-scale attack on the other two fronts in the Atlantic Ocean. On September 1, a squadron of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy escorted ten troop carriers to land on the Ryukyu Islands. Two days later, the Ryukyu Islands fell. On September 2, the main force of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy occupied Kamchatka Island’s largest port, Sea Cucumber Port, without any resistance, and escorted 22 troop carriers forcibly landed in Kamchatka Island Sea Cucumber Port. The Japanese army occupied the entire Kamchatka Island three days later.

On September 7th in the Gregorian calendar in the mainland, the Japanese First and Second Naval Fleets formed a joint fleet to ambush the Tanghe Empire Second and Third Naval Fleets, which were undergoing a reorganization exercise, in the sea off Yuhang Prefecture. The Second and Third Navy Fleets, which suffered heavy losses in the confrontation of the First Navy Fleet, were almost completely annihilated in this battle. Only two large warships escaped, and less than three medium-sized ships managed to escape their misfortune. Ten ships, the Empire's second and third navy fleets suffered a devastating blow in history, and almost all of the elite were killed in this battle. The remaining ships had to flee back to Yuhang Military Port, and were unable to leave the port again.

So far, except for some offshore islands in the Great Eastern Ocean of the Tanghe Empire, all the important islands in the outer island chain have been occupied by the Japanese. Only the Northern Pearl Islands, which were leased to the Kingdom of Milan, are still under the control of the First Navy Fleet of the Empire.

Almost at the same time, the Battle of Songjiang, which determined the fate of Jiangnan, finally broke out. On September 3, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Situ Tai concentrated all the troops of the Second Army in his hands, plus a division of the Twelfth Army, to attack the entire territory of Songjiang. Relying on Songjiang Fucheng, the Seventh Army and the remnants of the Tenth Army built a solid line of defense. The two sides launched a life-and-death battle to determine the fate of both sides on the plain fifty miles north of Songjiang Fucheng.

Situtai invested a total of more than 130,000 elite troops, while the Milan and Jiangnan coalition forces invested a total of 220,000 troops. The two sides continued to fight in Chongming Town. The morale of the 70th Legion was low, and the Milanese were not quite used to the local environment because they had just entered the south of the Yangtze River. Although they had gone through a brutal **** battle~IndoMTL.com~, the battle situation was still in a stalemate, and the massive consumption made both sides feel exhausted.

Unable to break the deadlock, Situ Tai and Milan, the commander of the coalition forces, both intended to strike, but the turning point happened just when both sides felt that they could not persist. On September 9, the Second Division of the Twelfth Army (formerly the Northern The Second Independent Division of the Military Region), under the leadership of the division commander Tong Lihui, entered the east of Songjiang from Weiyang territory, defeated the two divisions of the Tenth Corps and a garrison division in charge of the eastern interception, broke through the eastern defense line and directly penetrated the waist of the coalition forces. On September 11, the Second Army of the Twelfth Army, which was marching continuously, launched an attack from west to east. The already exhausted Western Group of the Allied Forces was composed of two divisions of the Seventh Army. After this unexpected attack, the defense line was shaken immediately , and Situ Tai's army, who had received news of the horse detection from the front, concentrated its main force to attack the western position, and the western position collapsed immediately. The collapse of the Western Front directly affected the Eastern Front, and the Second Division of the Twelfth Army Corps took advantage of the situation to penetrate eastward, and the Allied defenses were defeated across the board.

On September 13th, the morale-boosting Situ Tai army once again defeated the coalition forces that were trying to stabilize their position. fad. On September 14, Situ Tai's army captured Songjiang Fucheng, which had been abandoned by the coalition forces. On September 16, all the remaining coalition forces retreated into the territory of Quanzhou Prefecture. After occupying the entire territory of Songjiang, Situtai's army was also exhausted due to the army's exhaustion. It encountered a counterattack by the Milan army in the border area between Songjiang and Quanzhou. It suffered heavy losses and had to give up. The plan was completed, the troops were stationed and rested, and the Battle of Songjiang was over. Prior to this, the 3rd Division of Situ Tai's 12th Army also continued to advance west after occupying Weiyang, and occupied Gusu Fucheng on September 11.

So far, the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River has been decided, and the trend of separatism has been established.
