"Here we are...... It's spectacular......"

Zhang Guangzhe also muttered to himself.

He held up his binoculars and looked behind him carefully.

Behind the flagship where he and His Majesty the Emperor were located was the mighty transport fleet.

Seeing that its huge transport fleet has arrived, then it is time to launch a landing battle.

More than 100 merchant ships, carrying the first batch of landing troops and various materials needed for the war, were advancing at a uniform speed towards the landing site.

On either side of the landing flotilla, there were also escorts from a number of old warships of the North Sea Fleet of the Royal Navy.

Nearly 100 warships of all colors firmly protect the huge transport fleet in the middle, and the bright sun and moon flags waving in the wind are particularly dazzling under the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds.

It was a spectacular scene that the soldiers had never seen before.

For this landing operation, the Royal North Sea Fleet, as well as the North Sea Fleet's marines and logistics departments, almost all poured out.

Zhu Youxiao himself was on the Leopard cruiser that was used as the flagship at this time.

With such a large-scale landing operation, he must have personally participated in commanding it.

The dense masts almost covered the sea, and the white sails were whiter than the white clouds in the sky.

Some soldiers have been watching for a long time, and they are so dazzled that they can't even tell whether it is the sails or the white clouds.

Especially in the place where the sea and sky are on the line, the white sails have been completely confused with the dots of white clouds.

Such a scene made Zhu Youxiao's heart feel unprecedentedly happy.

Zhu Youxiao was full of expectations for this large-scale landing operation, and this was the best mode of actual combat training.

"Your Majesty, in less than half an hour, the soldiers will land on the shore."

Zhang Guangzhe came to Zhu Youxiao and said with an excited face.

It's true that it will take so long.

On the sea, it seems that the distance is very close, but in fact, these slow merchant ships, close to the sea, still need to sail for a long time before they can reach their destination.

Zhang Guangzhe, together with His Majesty and the General Staff, participated in the formulation of the plan throughout the landing operation.

However, when he saw so many warships, so many merchant ships, so many supplies, and so many troops, he still felt excited.

He felt as if this great operation ordered by His Majesty the Emperor had ushered in a new era.

"Go according to plan."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and commanded quietly.

The landing site chosen by the Ming Royal Navy was on the outer beach of the huge almost closed bay in the middle of the northern tip of Sakhalin, northeast of Nankhaerwe.

The outpost of the landing fleet is already close to the destination of the landing.

There was no wind on the sea all the time, and the speed of the transport ships was relatively slow.

This landing time was summed up by Zhu Youxiao based on a lot of meteorological data from later generations.

As a sailing enthusiast, I naturally have a little knowledge of the meteorological data of the major straits in various parts of the Asian continent.

There are too many transport ships, it doesn't matter if it's a little slower, the key is to be safe.

Later generations advanced their knowledge for four hundred years, which obviously helped Zhu Youxiao a lot.

Along the way, there was no major storm, and the biggest wind and wave was only about three or four levels.

There was no stormy weather, and there were naturally no huge waves, and the navigation of hundreds of transport ships seemed to be very smooth, and the number of seasick soldiers was not much.

After a short half an hour of sailing, the convoy successfully reached the shore near the landing site.

"Up!"

A Marine Corps officer, waving the battle flag in his hand vigorously.

The first to go ashore were the 10,000 officers and men of the 1st Marine Brigade of the North Sea Fleet. wonderful

The first purpose of the Marine Brigade was to seize the beach.

If it is necessary to grab the beach.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no need to rush to the beach.

People in this era do not yet have a clear understanding of landing operations.

Basically, they only take into account the need to bring people ashore by boat when they are carrying out a strategic operation.

Their concept only stays on the "ship" and "people".

As long as the person goes ashore smoothly, it will be fine.

The landing side has such an understanding, and the landed side is naturally no better.

The landed side also did not have any awareness of anti-landing operations.

They did not think that when the enemy landed, they would launch a counterattack and drive them into the sea.

On the contrary, more often than not, they waited for the enemy to come ashore before attacking.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

The sound of water kept coming.

The Marines, after changing sampans, quickly rowed towards the shore.

This kind of work is really the most skilled for them.

Soon after, they were able to reappear on land, and at the same time quickly slaughtered the nearby area.

The second part of the landing force, which was ready to go ashore, also changed to sampans and rowed towards the beach on the shore.

In the vicinity of this almost wild beach, there were some scattered barbarians, who watched in panic as they watched the dense ships on the sea.

They found the Marines coming, and they were at a loss.

It wasn't until the gunfire started that they came to their senses and fled in all directions.

In the midst of these scattered people, there were more than a dozen patrolling tribal warriors, who raised their bows and arrows and other weapons to return fire, and as a result, they were all killed quickly.

There are some small transport boats with a shallow draft, and when they reach the vicinity of the beach, they fall directly on the beach.

The soldiers quickly put down the gangplank, and a group of soldiers ran down from the boat, and then quickly rushed to the vicinity of the beach.

After reuniting with the previous Marines, they dispersed again and struck in all directions in a fan-shaped manner.

Gunshots, from time to time, rang out.

"Let the soldiers move faster!"

Zhang Guangzhe kept gesturing at the herald and said in a deep voice.

He stood on the deck conning tower of the flagship of the Grand Fleet, constantly urging the soldiers to go ashore quickly.

At this time, time is the most precious and not a second can be wasted.

We have to get as much supplies and as many troops as possible ashore before the barbarian tribes react.

In this case, the larger the area controlled by the landing force, the more secure the victory in the battle will be, and the work will be easier in the future.

Most of the officers and men of the Royal Fleet are conducting landing battles for the first time, and it is such a huge super island, their excitement can be imagined.

Some soldiers couldn't help but charge while muttering something in their mouths to vent their inner excitement.

Now is the time to land, but you can't shout, lest the movement be too big and it will not be beautiful to alarm the numerous barbarian tribes here.

The soldiers who have long been made to death by all kinds of learning and training are finally officially engaged in battle, and excitement is inevitable.

However, it is obvious that the officers and men who carried out the landing operation this time are doomed to great disappointment.

Because there are no strong enemies near the beach here, it is difficult to appear on this wild island in fierce battles.

Those barbarian tribes did not have guns or strong bows, but only used relatively rudimentary weapons, which did not pose much threat to the soldiers.
