Section 3 Fuso Cluster
The task force of the eastward crossing to Fuso includes:
The destroyer fleet commanded by Commander Yu of the Shenzhou Army, twenty "Gale-class" destroyers. Their task was to gain sea supremacy and provide the necessary fire support for landing, while ensuring the safety of the convoy.
The landing cluster consisted of 30 "whale-class" amphibious assault ships, whose mission was to transport 20,000 recruits from the "1st Salvation Army Division" who had undergone two months of training and three battalions of "foreign mercenaries" as the main force of the attack, as well as the military headquarters and artillery and engineering units transferred from the Shenzhou Army Marine Corps. and a military headquarters of about 4,000 personnel from two medical battalions, one guard battalion, two communications battalions and other subordinate departments. Of course, they also have the task of suppressing close-range fire to ensure the smooth progress of the landing.
Other unexpected things on board are the machinery for the manufacture of muskets, cannonballs, and other equipment, including the associated technicians. Knowing that Japan has copper, and this was the time when the economy was stable and the population was large in the early Edo period, an appropriate metaphor is that it is like a pig that has fattened up and should go to the slaughterhouse.
Even though the 35 "Whale-class" amphibious assault ships (the entire seaborne force of the 2nd Marine Division) can accommodate nearly 40,000 troops, the number of combat vehicles is far less than a fraction of that of the 2nd Marine Division, so the space on board is still very large. Coupled with the Japanese women of the "Salvation Army First Division Medical Battalion", these transport ships are particularly lively.
As long as there are no storms and waves, the boys of the Shenzhou Army also like to have a lively show with the women of Fusang. Of course, the Commander could not forget the excitement, but for some reason, anyone who was invited would gladly go because of the loneliness of the voyage at sea, and there was only one commander-in-chief, who would never appear here.
This is an abnormal reaction for him who loves to be lively, so everyone guesses that the commander-in-chief may just not like these women from Fuso! Or maybe he's still upset about the "pig" emperor. In fact, except for Murong Zhuo, no one could guess the hatred in Yue Xiaofei's heart.
Murong Zhuo was surprised by the cold-bloodedness that Yue Xiaofei showed when facing the Fusang people. In his opinion, even if the actions of the Wako were outrageous, they were just the actions of bandits, and not all Fuso people were all bad guys. Yue Xiaofei seemed a little cold-blooded to all the Fusang people, it seemed that his kindness had been forgotten at this time, why was this? Murong Zhuo was puzzled.
In Murong Zhuo's operation in the revised "Cold Moon Plan", Fusang's operation will be divided into four steps.
The first step is to capture Tsushima. With that, it will be possible to connect Goryeo to purchase some of the military rations there, as well as other initial supplies, and at the same time, an arms factory for the supply of the "Salvation Army" will also be built there.
In the second step, with the "1st Division of the Salvation Army" as the main force, with the cooperation of part of the fleet, the troops were directly aimed at the line of Sasebo and Fukuoka, and finally established a military base and defense system.
The third step is to establish the "Second Division of the Salvation Army" and expand it around, seize the resources of the major names, organize the establishment of the missionary institutions of the Catholic Religion, and the civil affairs organization headed by Norio Hashimoto, and the power of the Salvation Army as a military force, and then try to expand outward and transport the obtained resources to Shenzhou City. At the same time, the special forces that have completed the task will be transferred to Fuso to conduct special warfare.
Fourth, after Taiwan is pacified, Huang Gu's Shenzhou Army and the First Division of the Army will be transferred to Taiwan for defensive work. After the 1st Marine Division of the Shenzhou Army completes the operation, it will be quickly transferred to Fusang to conduct a large-scale war in an effort to pacify Fusang as soon as possible and serve as a resource replenishment ground for the Shenzhou Army.
According to Yue Xiaofei's consideration in the past, Fuso is now in the heyday of the Edo period, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops. As long as he exterminated his regular army with all his might, the rest of the rangers would not be afraid. It's a pity that due to the face-to-face with Zhu Yujian, this plan completely failed, and the Shenzhou Army couldn't spare its hands to carry out the war here. But if you don't fight, you can't do it, there is no abundant supply of materials, and Shenzhou City doesn't need others to fight, so you will be messed up first.
After all, the Shenzhou Army is no longer the native soldiers who can fight with a set of armor, a horse, a knife or a spear in the past. Such an army would simply not be able to fight effectively without adequate logistical support. So the war of Japan was imperative. Moreover, it is necessary to focus on the strength of the "Salvation Army" this time, although their officers have been trained for a considerable time, but the soldiers are nothing more than two months of recruits, and this combat effectiveness may not be satisfactory.
Of course, the advantage is that there are many young and middle-aged people in Fuso now, who happen to be cannon fodder, and I believe that with the help of their artillery team, which is already equipped with artillery, it should not be particularly difficult to attack.
Another important aspect is the Yi dynasty of Joseon, at this time, Joseon Injo Yi Liang because 10 years ago Huang Taiji captured Ganghwa Island, captured the princess, prince, and 76 members of the clan, and after the rebellion, Joseon became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The prince Li Wei lived in Shenyang for a long time, and the other proton was served by the prince of Fenglin and the prince of Linping in turn. At the same time, the DPRK also paid an annual tribute of 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 200 pieces of white ramie, 2,000 horses of various colors, 400 pieces of fine linen, 10,000 pieces of fine cloth, 10,000 bags of rice, and so on. Korea, which regarded itself as "Little China", was reduced to a backward hunter-gatherer people in the mountains and forests and established a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, which was a painful thing for the monarch and the people at that time, and the impact of the rebellion on Korean society and culture was very great, and the authority of the king and the two classes plummeted.
If the "Cold Moon Operation" can be carried out smoothly, the resources and food needed for the development of Shenzhou City will be fully replenished. If successful, strategically speaking, the next step should be to force the Yalu River, eradicate the Manchu forces in the northeast, and gather a large army to enter the pass from the northeast and attack the pass. The other route will be to land by sea and gather the Qing government in Beijing.
Later generations, commenting on Yue Xiaofei's life, were puzzled by the fact that he absolutely did not allow any foreign army to hold weapons in China. Some people also think that it is incomprehensible that the main forces of the DPRK and the "Salvation Army" will not be allowed to enter China to participate in the war, and if these two armies enter China to fight, the civil strife can be quickly quelled, and the people of Lebanon will suffer less for a few years.
It's just that there is no peaceful rise, there is no peaceful rise, so the forces hostile to Shenzhou City are not idle, and even they have brewed an extremely dangerous storm that is coming, and Shenzhou City has almost no time to deal with it.
