Later, he made a special emphasis on the discipline of the army.
Chen Zhong said: Wherever the Hainan army goes, it must have iron-like discipline. It is absolutely forbidden to harm the common people, and once discovered, they will be punished with capital punishment! From soldiers to generals, treat them equally!
Some people say, isn't it too harsh? It's just a small thing, and the death penalty is a bit too unkind!
Chen Zhong said: "The sentence 'those who win the hearts of the people win the world' is known to everyone in the world. However, there are a few people who can do it. This world is like this, others think that this is just an ordinary sentence that can no longer be ordinary, but it can allow us to truly own the world, and vice versa, it can also make us lose the world!
The world is not something we can win simply by killing, but more importantly, we can conquer the hearts of the people. What is Tianxia? The world is the heart of the people! This world is very realistic, and there will never be that kind of love for no reason! No one will champion an army that bullies them!
Therefore, if we in Hainan want to win the world, we must be the savior of the people of the world, and we must not harm our people.
This king once again reiterates this iron discipline, even if a general commits a crime, he will never forgive! This is a red line that must never be touched. kxs7.”
After the military meeting in the Hainan Palace, Chen Zhong, accompanied by Chen Fangzheng, led four battleships to the Korean Peninsula. On the morning of the second day, they arrived at Jianghua Bay and joined the Bohai Fleet.
At this moment, the fierce battle on Ganghwa Island is in full swing.
Xu Chunsheng reported to Chen Zhong and Chen Fangzheng on the preparation and arrangement of the fleet. Xu Chunsheng said that the plan was to land after the Japanese Funa-Etsu Okawa 23rd Division withdrew from Ganghwa to support Seoul.
The 2nd Infantry Division of Zhu Yuxin of the 7th Army attacked Ganghwa Island from the direction of Panmunjom, and the two mixed brigades of the 10th Army and the 3rd Infantry Division of Luhua attacked Ganghwa Island from the direction of Kaesong.
The two armies were attacked by the Japanese at Ganghwa Island with the heaviest attack.
The 9th Cavalry Brigade of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was ordered to retreat and break through to the direction of Seoul to rescue Seoul.
The Japanese Watanabe Hengchuang Artillery Wing in the direction of Incheon also left for Seoul after receiving an order from Aritomo in Yamasan.
At this point, the defense of Inchon was extremely empty, and only one infantry squadron of the Japanese army remained.
Chen Zhong saw that the Japanese army's posture was to keep Seoul, so the devils around Seoul were planning to move closer to Seoul, and even prepared to abandon Ganghwa Island. (Fastest update)
According to the Japanese army's operational intentions, Chen Zhong immediately made slight adjustments and additions to the original plan they had set.
Chen Zhong ordered Ma Chong's marines to land from Incheon, and after taking Incheon, they took Suwon, a city south of Seoul.
Chen Zhong ordered the 1st Division of the Seventh Army to Xiangzhicheng, a cavalry brigade, and two artillery regiments to encircle and send reinforcements to an infantry wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army in Seoul. Besiege but not attack.
The 3rd Division of the 7th Army, which had previously served as a reserve between Panmunjom and Seoul, advanced to Ganghwa Island to block the Japanese troops in Seoul who had come to support.
The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 10th Army, which had been stationed outside Kaesong Fortress and were on standby, marched towards Chuncheon. Chuncheon was only guarded by a squadron of Japanese troops, and the strength was relatively weak.
First, Ma Cong's marines launched an artillery bombardment of the defenders of Incheon. The infantry squadron of the Japanese army stationed in Inchon was very poorly equipped, and there were only ten batteries in Incheon. Ten wild mountain guns, however, the caliber was only 75mm.
There was a machine gun squad with five heavy machine guns, and the rest were all equipped with three or eight large covers.
The artillery wing of the Japanese army Watanabe Hengchuang who left Incheon, looking at the burning Incheon Castle behind them, had the heart to turn back to rescue, it was already impossible.
The side of Seoul was also bombarded by the heavy artillery of the First Division of the Seventh Army. He kept urging reinforcements from Incheon and Ganghwa Island to come to support quickly.
After the first round of bombardment, Ma Chong's heavy artillery regiment saw that the fortifications of Inchon had been destroyed, so he ordered the artillery to move forward and strike at the key Japanese facilities in Incheon.
After the second round of bombardment, Ma Cong ordered the machine-gun company to begin a heavy strafing of the Japanese infantry squadron at Incheon.
These Maxim heavy machine guns let out a roar of rage, and the scorching rain of bullets sprayed into long tongues of fire, whistling into the Japanese position.
The soldiers of the Japanese army, in this overwhelming rain of bullets, fell one by one.
In the non-stop fire of these vehicle-mounted machine guns, hundreds of tongues of fire formed a rainforest of death bullets, and under its cover, it was the ghost gate of hell.
These Japanese devil soldiers, who had been brainwashed by Japanese militarism, were still charging forward one by one in a dense forest of bullets before receiving the order to retreat. This is the flesh-and-bullet style of the Japanese army Nogi Noshinori back then.
The officers and men of the Marine Corps also sighed at the desperate fighting style of the Japanese army in front of them. They were thinking that such troops no longer had human minds, and that they had only the spirit of bushido, which was loyal to the emperor, in their minds.
Under the powerful fire net composed of dozens of heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops of an infantry squadron were basically wiped out by two rounds of shelling and machine gun charges.
In just over an hour, the entire front of the Japanese army in Inchon was already strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, and all the corpses of Japanese devils fell without exception.
In the face of such a tragic situation, the officers and men of the Hainan army did not have the slightest mercy, and the Makqin heavy machine gun in their hands continued to strafe.
Because, against an army like the Japanese army, you can only defeat him if you are more ruthless, more cruel, and more ruthless than him.
Otherwise, if there is a little pity for them, then it should be yourself who is lying on the ground now, not the Japanese army opposite.
This is a life-and-death moment, there are no feelings, only results, and everything is based on the first premise of being able to survive.
War and politics only talk about the result and not the process, even if it is cruel, even despicable, or even shameless, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that in this competition, you can survive completely, because only by surviving can you write the results of history.
After nearly three hours of fierce fighting, Ma Cong's Marines finally landed at Inchon with zero casualties.
