Chapter 270: Login
The warship was loaded with three battalions of pure combat troops, with a total of 9,000 soldiers, and each battalion had more than 1,000 logistical baggage troops, not counting 1,000 cavalry, so each battalion actually had only 3,000 combat troops left.
There are not many troops, and compared with the nearly 200,000 Japanese, the difference is more than 20 times? But that's not how the account is calculated, you have to fight to have the results of the war, and the 20th Army alone can't be beaten backhanded, how is it different from the common people? It's just a matter of letting the Black Armor soldiers spend a few more bullets and shells.
By the time the navy of the Far Eastern Kingdom crossed the Kamatsu Strait and reached the northernmost point of Honshu Island, the warships that had just fled back to shore would have fled without a trace.
Yang Rentian didn't care, those broken ships were no threat to his own navy, and he had already tried his hand just now, and he believed that the Japanese would not be so stupid to send them to death again.
In accordance with the steps just discussed by Yang Rentian's commanders, the navy used field cannons to carry out fierce artillery bombardment of all places and buildings on the shore that were suspected of being able to hide people.
The Japanese houses were basically made of wood, and there were few brick and stone buildings, which caused a sky-high fire, which added to the weight of the smoke and dust, and the scene was like purgatory.
The navy slowly bombarded from near to far, whether there were people or not, and the farthest reached a place three or four kilometers from the sea, and an hour later it cleared out a vast no-man's land with a radius of more than 10 square kilometers.
During this period, the ambush soldiers arranged by Matsudaira Nobutsuna just now, as well as the civilians who did not want to be too far from their homes, were bombed and cried wolves, and the wolves rushed to the ground, which was really the place of death and injury, and in just such an hour's effort, the Japanese reimbursed almost 10,000 brave men, and those civilians could not be counted, and no one counted them.
The cannon really deserves to be the god of war, and the navy wiped out 10,000 troops without a single soldier, which was unimaginable in conventional wars before.
"Login!" As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, Yang Rentian confidently gave the landing order.
"Moo......" Yang Rentian's warship blew the horn of the attack.
There was no separate landing order, after all, they were the Army, not the Marines, but the landing was also equivalent to an attack, and the officers and men knew what to do after listening to the order.
The army landlubber, who was sitting very uncomfortably on the boat, heard the military order, immediately stood up and sorted out the combat equipment, and began to climb the rope net and disembark in an orderly manner under the order of the officer.
The navy brothers have long prepared several small boats, and a small boat can only seat a dozen people, which is exactly the size of two squads. After two squads, they rowed to the shore with all their might, and when they reached the shoal, the soldiers jumped out of the boats and ran quickly towards the shore in knee-deep water, and the boats quickly turned around and rowed back to the big boat to pick up the people, and so on.
The native soldiers who went ashore, under the command of the squad leader, quickly seized the favorable terrain and established a forward defensive position.
The process was intense and orderly, and the first group of infantry, not all riflemen, but also heavy fire units, including machine gun squads and mortar squads, really established a solid position when they came ashore.
The Black Armor Army finally began to land, but the Japanese on the other side could only stare dryly, the power of the opponent's big guns was too fierce, even if they had the spirit of bushido to strengthen their will to fight, no officer dared to send troops to stop it.
Even Matsudaira Nobutsuna is the same, he is still regretting the nearly 10,000 samurai who died in vain because of his tactics! At this time, he was determined not to send troops to die.
"Matsudaira-sama, what should I do?" A general of the ashigaru watched the other party land calmly and orderly, and was so angry that he asked Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the commander-in-chief, in an eager tone.
"We are outside the range of the thieves' guns, and we will set up a defensive line, but you have to be careful, if the thieves' guns come ashore, then we will scatter our defenses and try to find a hidden and strong place to defend it."
"Hey!" All the generals and daimyo who led the troops around him bowed in unison.
This kind of battle is fought in the most forceful way, and the side has no means to deal with it at all, except to dodge or dodge, and if it is necessary to envelop all the troops within the firing range according to the artillery bombardment method just now, Matsudaira Nobutsuna believes that the entire army will be wiped out in half an hour at most.
What's the use of having a lot of people, you can't fight each other at all, and you don't even dare to show your face at all, how can you fight this battle? Matsudaira Nobutsuna was worried, he no longer had the confidence to win.
In fact, it was not only him, but all the leading generals and daimyo were just as unconfident, but this was a national war, the enemy had already invaded the borders of Japan, they had no way to retreat, and everyone was already determined to sacrifice their lives.
The Black Armor Army was still landing in a steady and orderly manner, and the newly landed soldiers, under the protection of the previous group of comrades-in-arms who had established a defensive line, went forward again, and the first advance was exactly about 200 meters, which was exactly within half a longitude of the range of machine gun mortars, and there was enough safety distance to protect them.
In order not to block the shooting sight of their comrades-in-arms, they crossed the front line of defense, and the whole process was the same as the landing tactics of the Marine Corps in later generations.
Although it was impossible for Japan to have the means to counterattack, the officers and men of the Black Armor Army still followed the tactics of the exercise, and expanded step by step.
Because of the steady pursuit and the speed of expansion is not fast, every unit that goes forward to establish a defensive position must ensure that nothing goes wrong before waving the command flag to let the troops behind move forward.
Slowly, but firmly, the advance was made inland, and only after there was sufficient safety zone did the field cannons begin to come ashore, and the mortar units that had just been on the ship to suppress began to be rebuilt.
The whole landing process took a full three hours to complete, and the navy went back to transport the second batch of landing troops, which were cavalry and logistics baggage.
Of course, because the second landing force has enough safe area, they will build a temporary trestle, and the speed will be more than doubled.
When the navy left, the Japanese generals who were hiding in the distance on the hidden heights also saw it.
"Lord Matsudaira, the sailor warship of the thieves has left, probably to pick up the second batch of thieves, should we take advantage of this rare opportunity to rush up and annihilate the thieves who have landed?"
"Yaga! Are you a pig? The thieves who had just landed also brought a large number of big guns ashore, and the officer had just counted them, there were as many as thirty-six, and there were hundreds of small steel cannons that did not know the power, and they might be quite powerful, do you want our heroic samurai to die in vain? ”
"But are we just waiting here for all the thieves to come ashore? That's not the way to go! The adashigami general was not convinced, and he retorted eloquently.
"You have to use your brain to fight, don't you see that it's getting dark? When the time comes, it will be dark, and we can touch the vicinity of the bandits' camp to launch an assault, and then it will be close-quarters, and the bandits will only have less than 10,000 troops, and we can use people to kill them. ”
"Wonderful! It is wonderful, and the subordinates think that the tactics of the adults are the best tactics, and we will be able to perform miraculous feats if we attack the enemy's shortcomings with our own strengths. Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words fell, and the general next to him clapped his hands and praised.
