Chapter 102 The Second Stage of Fishing Wild Ambush
With the raging fire on the deck and the squeak of the scorching hull, the four tortoiseshell ships, without exception, sank to the bottom of the sea one after another under the watchful eyes of the surrounding Japanese troops. This forward fleet of more than 400 people was completely wiped out in less than an hour, and disappeared into this northwest waterway with the glowing flames and turbulent waves.
At the same time, Pei Wedge took a step ahead of Wakiban Anzhi, sailed into the southeast sea before he reached Shadow Island, turned southwest in the night, and made a roundabout way towards Xianshan Island.
Faced with the fish that slipped through the net, Shimazu Tadashi wanted to send a warship to pursue him, but was stopped by Yoshihiro. Looking at the few ships scattered in the inlet, Yoshihiro shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Pursuit? Just these few ships? There is a cloud in the art of war: 'Poor Kou Mo chase', although the fresh soldiers are defeated and fled, but the strength is still there, if you are aggressive, you will be forced to jump the wall in a hurry, and at that time you may be going to give up your previous efforts, and you will be happy and sad. ”
"Then you can't just let them go, after all, it's a dozen board house boats." Zhongheng is obviously unwilling, in his opinion, the pursuit of victory is the king, he believes, even if it is just a few ships, it can definitely scare those cowards, which is deeply experienced in the battle with the Korean army, and really does not want to give up this excellent fighter.
But Yoshihiro was very resolute, seeing that Zhongheng was so persistent, he had to tell the truth: "Have you forgotten the battle deployment just now, the main purpose of this ambush is to destroy the main force of the North Korean naval army, as for those few banwu boats, they have the right to be fish that slipped through the net, do you still want to complete the battle?" To be honest, it is not easy to trap the main force here, how dare you hope to annihilate it all? ”
"Erchen understood," Tadahiro's mood calmed down a little, although he complained a little about Yoshihiro's conservatism, but considering the first task of this battle, he still accepted this fact, "In that case, please allow me to go to the beachhead and personally command the large team to bombard the enemy ships." ”
"It's not in a hurry, there's Akatsuka Xiuyi Zhai (that is, Akatsuka Zhenxian, Sanyu Mountain Landhead) there, there won't be any difference, but here, the battle has been going on for an hour, can you see what kind of art of war the officers and soldiers use?" Yoshihiro asked with a smile.
Zhongheng observed the battlefield with his eyes, thought about it carefully, and replied slowly: "First lure the enemy deep with the navy, then set up an ambush to disrupt the enemy position with a large iron cannon, and finally encircle and annihilate the enemy through the cooperation of the Wakiban Yasuji and Kato Yoshiaki's naval army. ”
"Haha, worthy of being the young master of my Shimazu family, that's right, this is the 'fishing wild ambush' that the family is proud of, although the battlefield has moved from land to sea, the vanguard has changed from ashigaru to a naval army, and the ambush has been replaced by an iron artillery team to a large barrel equipment, but the essence is much the same, let's name it 'fishing wild ambush at sea'." Yoshihiro looked at Zhongheng and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that the tactics of the family could be applied to naval battles and achieve such great results, Zhongheng was excited, but thinking of Yoshihiro's words just now, he had to ask clearly: "Since it is the tactics of the family, why do you say that it is the strategy of the official guard?" ”
"Matahachiro, do you think that without the command and planning of the guards, can my father use the 'fishing and wild ambush' in naval battles?" Yoshihiro does have self-knowledge, although this sounds like just a sentence of effort, but it is not so simple to really do, the analysis and utilization of terrain and climate, the rational deployment of troops, and the timing are just right, all of which are not something that ordinary people can handle properly.
"Not only that, but you have also seen that if it is just an ordinary 'fishing nobush', at most, it will be annihilating a few tortoiseshell ships led by the annihilation, and it will not pose a threat to the main force of North Korea; The more Yoshihiro spoke, the more excited he became, and seeing that Zhongheng was a little dazed, he carefully explained:
"Set up two ambushes, one in ambush on the southeast and northwest headlands; He also divided the fleet into two to deal with the two lines of fresh soldiers, and such a careful deployment was only imaginable by the guards of the guards. ”
"According to what you mean, this formation is different from my own, and it is an improved version of 'Fishing Wild Fu'?" Zhongheng's brows were slightly relaxed, as if he understood what Yoshihiro meant.
"That's right, double ambush, double main force, this is the tactics improved by the official officer and guard - 'Erduan Fishing Wild Ambush'." Yoshihiro admired Xiaogao so much that when he said the name of this tactic, his whole body trembled.
"'Nidan Fishing Wild Fu'?" Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar term, Zhongheng's heart was full of waves. Although he didn't have much contact with Xiaogao, he was also shocked to see that the unruly "Ghost Stone Manzi" could worship him so much, and then he had a trace of inexplicable awe and admiration for this officer and soldier.
With the martyrdom of Li Yiqi and the defeat of Pei Wedge, Yuan Jun began to suffer a full-scale attack. First of all, Akatsuka Shinken turned the muzzle of the gun and concentrated all his firepower to bombard the flagship of Yuanjun, and then Anji Wakiita led the army to kill, blocking the passage of the fleet's escape to the east, and it didn't take long for Kato Yoshiaki, who had won a great victory on the northwestern cape, to also lead the main force of the naval army to rush to the Yuanjun main formation, which was like the last straw, completely destroying the defensive formation of the Korean army, and from this moment on, a large-scale sea massacre was officially staged.
Losing the protection of the tortoiseshell ship and the command of veterans such as Li Yiqi, the North Korean naval army was beaten back to the prototype at this moment, and in the face of the menacing Japanese army, the eyes were shining, and the Korean soldiers did not dare to fight, and let the Japanese ships take over the string and board the ship. Those who had a little courage only symbolically resisted slightly, and when they saw that the general trend was gone, they jumped ship in a panic to escape.
For the trolls, jumping ship is a last resort, but it is not a talisman, and they will still face the threat of death. Especially on such occasions, the chances of surviving such an enemy are even more slim. Kato and Wakiban's troops had a reserve composed of iron cannon ashigaru and spear ashigaru, respectively, which was responsible for killing the overboardmen.
These people are ruthless, quick in their eyes and hands, their guns are not pierced, their bullets are not missing, and they will not be soft-hearted in the face of unarmed soldiers, they must be up and down, and they know that even if they are a second late, they will only achieve the military exploits of others. Although they belong to the reserve under the direct jurisdiction of the general general, they are ruthless and notorious, so they have an image nickname: "Vulture Preparation".
Under the capture of this reserve, almost no survivors of the drowning fresh soldiers, the slightly smarter ones will hold their breath and hide under the boat, but once they stick out their heads to breathe, they will never escape the clutches of this group of bald vultures.
Blood mixed with sea water, wolf smoke mixed with gunsmoke, the sound of fighting, wailing resounded in the sky, the scene on the east coast of Shadow Island at this moment is no longer something that words can describe, presumably even Ah Bi Hell is inferior by three points.
