Today, the small island of Tokunoshima is very lively, all the men and horses of the Japanese expeditionary force have been transported, 50,000 army plus civilian and navy and transport fleet personnel, the total number is close to 70,000 horses, the number is similar to the Liang army, however, most of the Liang army is a new soldier, but the Japanese army is a samurai veteran, and the strength of the two sides is really not easy to compare.

In a sense, Liang Jiajun is completely different from the army of this era, starting from the way of training, to the discipline, management system, ideological propaganda, troop setting, staff system, logistics supply and control, and epoch-making weapons and equipment, all of which are decades ahead of this era.

Of course, weapons are very important, but without the corresponding system and discipline, it is impossible to form so many troops, and if the management is chaotic, there is no ideology, there is no discipline, and if the logistics are out of control, there will be civil strife in this army long ago, and what can be done; Because soldiers are aggressive and like to win, there is never a shortage of people who want to be the boss.

Therefore, in any army, the combat effectiveness depends on the people, not the weapons.

For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, the weapons of the national army were not as advanced as the Japanese army, and they were defeated and retreated, which can be said to be a complete defeat; During the Korean War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the PLA's weaponry was not as good as that of the world's largest US military. It can be said that our country's international status was fought on the Korean battlefield, and the world has always spoken with strength. (During the Qingming Festival, I would like to commemorate the heroes and General Peng who died on the Korean battlefield!) ）

It can even be speculated that if Lao Mao had replaced Lao Chiang's command in the War of Resistance, the Japanese would definitely not have won so easily, and they would not have lost so much of their country.

An army, if everyone is done, united, plus advanced weapons, then this army is a strong army; If you add an excellent command system, then it is basically invincible.

It just so happens that Liang Jiajun is!

At this moment, Liang Jiajun is like a shark in the sea, waiting for the Japanese army to send him to the door, feasting on his heart, grinding his teeth by the way.

So why didn't Young Master Liang take the Liang family army to Tokunoshima, and had to wait for someone to come to the door?

Those who have done business know that the business delivered to the door is easy to do; With the current strength of the Liang family's army, it is unlikely that the Japanese army will be completely annihilated first, because the number of naval warships is not large, and there will always be ships of the Japanese Navy that will escape; Second, although Liang Jiajun has good weapons, they are all recruits, actual combat and training are two different things, if he has never seen blood, let him kill directly, and he will kill people continuously, many people are not adaptable, and they can't do it at all if they are soft-hearted; Therefore, if they take the initiative to attack, the Liang family army will definitely have certain casualties and losses.

Young Master Liang is also a businessman, won't this account be counted? With Liang Jiajun's generous casualty compensation conditions, how much does it cost if there are a large number of casualties? How much burden will it add?

The young master will be in pain.

After Saigo Takamori waited for the men and horses to arrive, he decided to attack immediately while the enemy army was not ready; Looking at this majestic army, he was full of confidence, and died a big mountain rock, which is nothing at all, Xixiang himself wrote a poem: Why bury bones in the mulberry ground, life is everywhere green mountains!

What Saigo didn't know was that it only took one day for the Liang family army to repair all the defensive fortifications; The main island of the Ryukyus was full of sand, and it was packed with straw and sand, supplemented by stones, and it was easy to make a practical defensive fortification.

The attack plan chosen by Xixiang was not the three places that Shan County Youpeng and they reconnoitred, but the two coasts that Liang Qiang guessed; Things are so magical, Xixiang's idea coincides with Liang Qiang.

He divided the army of 50,000 into two, and let Shan County Youpeng lead half of the army to attack the west, and he led the other half to attack the east.

There is nothing wrong with this combat plan, and it can even be said to be quite old-fashioned; Because of Saigo's combat experience, he can capture a suitable fighter and kill the enemy when he is unexpected, which will definitely have a miraculous effect.

Shan Shan is even more confident, the enemy army is only more than 10,000 people in total, and it needs to be defended in many ways, and the bay he attacked is estimated to be no more than 5,000 people, and he has an army of 25,000, maybe he can fight with his side alone, it's time for His Majesty the Emperor to see my strength!

This time, it is rare that the Japanese did not adopt the tactics of sneak attack, not because they were ready to do good, but because they thought that they had the advantage of troops, and if they attacked at night, there would be too many people on their side, and it would be easy to cause chaos, and they would suffer losses instead, and the Japanese have always refused to do things that have suffered losses!

Early in the morning of September 16, the Japanese Expeditionary Force dispatched the whole army, the Yama County troops set off first, and the Saigo troops followed, killing the Ryukyu Island in a mighty way!

The estimated arrival time in the Ryukyus was noon, which was lunch time, and Saigo was a veteran of calculations, and even the enemy's lunch time had to be used.

Liang Jiajun didn't relax here, and if he relaxed at this juncture, he went to the toilet to find food.

Master Liang sent all the navy early in the morning to conduct reconnaissance, and the ironclad battleships that took the lead in reconnaissance still pretended to be the British navy, and if the Japanese fleet was found, it immediately sent a signal to notify the warships and gunboats in the rear, and slowly surrounded the Japanese fleet on the periphery of the bay.

Young Master Liang instructed the six British naval captains and instructors that if the Japanese fleet was divided, then we would also divide the troops, and if there were too few warships to encircle it, then attack the enemy's warships first, and those transports could be completely captured; The Japanese Navy does not have steam ironclad ships that cannot run fast, and even if they are chased and killed, they can be killed.

Haydn and Blake took the order to go, these British instructors understood that if they won the battle, they could get 100,000 taels of silver, and if they won a tie, they would only get 50,000 taels.

We swear by the honor of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and we have taken 100,000 taels of silver!

Liang Jianjian, the rookie deputy commander of the navy, can only follow Haydn's ass as an apprentice, but this kid is not nervous at all, his eyes reveal a glint of excitement, after practicing for so long, he can finally do it! This kid has never seen the horror and cruelty of naval battles.

The army of the Liang family army was deployed according to the plan of urging the ghosts; Young Master Liang led the military personnel to inspect several landing sites in the north, anxiously hoping that the Japanese would come to attack him.
