More than ten days later, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Water Ocean meet,

On the bumpy and undulating sea boats, in the cold wind blowing like a knife, the gray-white coastline is faintly visible,

Even the warm stove in the cabin and the tightly wrapped cotton robe and coat could not stop the pervasive cold tide and humidity.

Most people can only stomp their feet while drinking ginger tea heated on the stove to maintain their body temperature and vitality.

And under the gray sky, the faint shadow of the ship, floating turbulently on the turbid waves rolling on the sea, about the scale of dozens.

This is also Huaidong's current exhaustion in a short period of time, and all the capacity that can be taken out.

Therefore, on this flotilla, there were four main battalions full of firearms, four garrison battalions of half-firearms and half-cold soldiers, as well as the relevant equipment and a month's worth of food and supplies, in addition to seven days' portions of portable compressed rations and three cardinal quantities of sub-medicine in the backpacks of each soldier.

Among them, the teaching brigade of the pro-direct battalion pacesetter battalion belonging to the Yaqian soldiers, the cruising regiment of the capture regiment of the left and right Yu Hou Army, the engineering regiment of the car battalion hunting and riding battalion, and the light artillery team, each drew out one to form my direct order.

Then there is the "Assault Battalion" from the fourth battalion of the imperial left under the command of Yang Zaixing, the first battalion of the right guard at home, and the first battalion of the front army.

The garrison battalion specially selected experienced veteran battalion leaders, such as the Chenqiao battalion where Chao Gai's three-man gang is located, the Yunzhou battalion where Song Gongming is located, and the Qingxi battalion in Fangla.

Finally, there is the Japanese camp of Kuroshima Ren, with their traditional relationship with the Silla people, it is convenient to do some dirty work in private when needed. In the words of later generations, it is "Sino-Japanese friendship depends on Korean sticks".

Although in this time and space, both Silla and Fusang have become the feudal lands of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, the Turkish people in these two places, because of the thousands of years of mutual invasion and infiltration, the tradition of loving and killing each other has not disappeared so easily.

Just for the need to cross the sea, all of them have been lightweight and lightweight. That is to say, it is mainly removed, which is convenient for long-distance mules and horses, and the proportion of gunpowder and lead carried is strengthened......

In addition, there was also the Banqiao Town Navy that happened to dock in Zhuzhou, and only seven or eight large sea ships were left intact, as well as a battalion of naval troops temporarily transferred from Liu Qi's department on them, accompanying the escort.

When necessary, these naval warships can provide cover for artillery bombardment, and among the thieves along the coast under Liu Qi's command, the temporary marine corps that has just been trained can also play a certain role of rushing and taking the lead

From another point of view, the risks taken by this winter sailing are not small, if there is a loss at sea, even if it is a ship, it represents the combat strength of at least half of the regiment, and it will be lost.

Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, except for two water leaks and a broken mast, there was no record of any boat capsizing or being separated.

But then it didn't go so well.

Although the coastline has been successfully established, and all the ships are largely intact, the situation is not necessarily optimistic, because the first ships have appeared, and under the action of wind and waves, they seem to have deviated from their normal course.

therefore

As the ships approached, the craggy reefs looming in the middle of the tide, and the towering whitewashed shores all point to a certain practical difficulty......

The exchange of flags reflected by the lights and lenses represents a certain anxious emotion, which gradually spreads across the ship

"Don't you have a good place to board 6 yet......

Standing in the middle of the deck with my support for the fixture, I couldn't help but clench my fists, even though I didn't move.

"Not yet ...... The first Sect Inspector has already laid down a number of big rows on the other side."

Yang Mo, the ship's officer standing beside him, also reported loudly with bated breath.

"But all attempts to rush to the shore have failed......

"There were two overturned and destroyed, and a dozen people were lost......"

"At present, I can only go west along the coast, and slowly look for ......"

“。”

At this time, there was some kind of noise in the cabin on the deck.

"What's the noise......"

I asked, looking to the side.

"Go see what's going on......"

"It was your mount that somehow frightened and was injured in a collision in the cabin......"

Then, a Marquis Yu came up and said

"Is it a red tiger or a grizzly panda?"

I frowned.

"It's Red Tiger Fourteen......"

He replied.

"Then go and tell them to drop Grizzly Nine with you...... ：”

I decided right away

"It's like a sacrifice to the god of the sea......"

It seems that this unexpected move has played a role in the dark.

It didn't take long for the fog to get thinner, and as the sky got brighter, visibility improved.

At this time, a new set of flags and lights were also passed on to my boat.

"Found ......"

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying

"There is a bay and a place to land......"

Although it is not the port of Rajin that is expected to be open for trade in the medium to long term, there is also a medium-sized fishing village in the middle of this fjord, which also means a place for boats to anchor and a place to disembark.

Then, according to the new flag signal, the ship group tried to reorganize the order on the sea, and then the ships of the navy moved forward.

The sailors of more than a dozen large sampans, between the undulating waves and the faint sound of the trumpet, tried to paddle slowly towards the shore.

After more than an hour, the shore finally lit up with a flash of response, which means that they have cleared a sufficient range of Deng6 beachhead,

Then, with more sampans and paddles, were lowered from the sea ships transporting troops,

The first to land were a large number of spears and trumpet guns, who were responsible for the terrain and then built a basic cordon on the spot according to the geographical advantage and the distribution of buildings.

After half a day, I was standing in this abandoned fishing village, which looked visibly messy and filled with a lingering smell of fish.

Most of the buildings were made up of adobe walls and hay-roofed sheds, but a considerable part of them had been burned down, and the uneven streets were littered with signs of looting, and occasionally there were dried blood stains on the walls, and shriveled corpses lying in the corners, which looked like they had been born some time ago.

And between the tidal flats and the ships in the open sea, the rows and sampans that go back and forth like ants are still transporting soldiers and supplies.

The engineering regiment that had already landed was standing waist-deep in the water, trying to use the beams and pillars dismantled in the fishing village to temporarily construct vertical bars and extend to the trestle and aisle into the sea.

In this way, sea vessels with smaller carrying capacity and draft can come up directly.

At this time, the ranger sentry who was released first, and the reconnaissance on the periphery of the fishing village also had results.

"According to the interpreter's explanation, this is the ...... Tuzi Village"

Yan Jiu'er, the head of the life capture group, whispered to me

"The boundary that still belongs to Tokutsu-gun......"

"But it's already the ...... of the Northwest Clan."

"The closest is also Zhangyi City under the jurisdiction of the Wan clan,......"

"At least twenty or thirty miles away from Haiyang City......"

"And the roads along the way are in very poor condition...... Rain and snow and muddy"

"How many people have come ashore......"

I frowned, turned to Xue Hui, the Marquis of Yu, and said.

"How many ...... have been restored and equipped"

"Back to the army marshal, there are probably five regiments of men and horses......"

"I need a stronghold that I can stay there for a long time......"

I thought about it and decided

"In addition, the cruisers searched along the coast knee-high, and the nearest port ......"
