Chapter 16: The Enemy at Sea

"Damn the wolf, he actually shot at the people again!" In the military tent, Ling Yuruo had already gritted his teeth. As soon as I came back from Li Guangzhong's command embassy, I briefly told me about what I was doing in the command embassy, from my promotion to the deputy commander to the time I took over the extermination of the Japanese invaders, and told Reska about 1510, and before she could finish speaking, Yuruo walked in, because she lived in Dengzhou and often went in and out of the army, so thinking that she knew a lot about the affairs of the Japanese invaders, so she let her stay in the military tent.

"What General Li means is to let our Shenji Battalion be responsible for clearing out this group of Japanese!" Reska apparently did not understand the Chinese meaning of "倭寇", and in his opinion, 倭寇 was probably the name of the Japanese.

"According to the various military attachés, the total number of Japanese warriors should be between two hundred and three hundred, and their main weapons are all well-made samurai swords, no firearms, most of them are equipped with full armor, and they look like Japanese wandering samurai!" After agreeing to Li Guangzhong, I specially found a few officers who had fought with this gang of Japanese soldiers to carefully understand their combat situation, according to these people, the number of these Japanese is not very large, the key is that each is well-trained, and the armor is distinct, and the hand-to-hand combat skills of a single person are also very superb, it is very simple for a person to resist five or six guards, which suddenly made me understand that these people are not Japanese in the general sense, probably the so-called wandering samurai, contact the situation in Japan at that time, It was probably a samurai under the Daimyo who was defeated by the Tokugawa, because he lost his lord and land, so he came to the coast of China, and did the work of robbing houses and houses, and became a Japanese coward.

Speaking of which, too, because I like to play glorious games very much, and because I like history very much, I am very familiar with Japanese history, especially the history of the Warring States Period, and because I want to go to Japan one day to worship the Nara Castle built in imitation of Tang Chang'an City, so I learned Japanese, and I watched a lot of Japanese Taiga dramas for this reason, but I didn't expect that today I really got on with this group of Japanese Waiko from the Warring States Period, I want to see which famous bastard these very fierce devils are.

"Wandering Samurai! What's the difference between that and the Wako? Yuruo's face was disdainful, she couldn't have known the concept of the words "samurai" and "ronin", in her opinion, the Japanese were the Japanese cowards, whether they were samurai or ronin, they were all fucking Japanese cowards.

"How so? These people were both Japanese and samurai. Samurai is a special name for some people in Japan, ah, the Wakoku. These people have received very good military training since childhood, training fighting skills and marching formations, and the Wa Kingdom has been in civil strife for a long time, so these people will often participate in battles, so both their fighting skills and their equipment are very good. These people can be said to be the elite of the Wa Kingdom, and they should not be underestimated! ”

"Return the samurai, I see that you are an adult and majestic, extinguishing your own ambition, the Japanese are the Japanese invaders, I know anyway, the Qi family army destroyed the Japanese invaders back then, and we fought the Japanese in the Chao Xian were very smooth, and I didn't see how powerful your so-called samurai were?" Ling Yuruo was obviously very dissatisfied with my words, she pouted, still looking at me with disdain.

You still remember that the Ming Dynasty fought with Japan in the DPRK-Xian, which is also not easy, you know, in modern times, few people know that China and Japan have fought twice before the First Sino-Japanese War, once in Baijiang Village of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army almost crushed the slaughter of the Japanese army, and this time of the Ming Dynasty happened decades ago, Zhang Juzheng had just died and Wanli had just been in power. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "monkey" who inherited his career after Oda Nobunaga's death, sent an army to attack Chaoxian, and as a result, he fought a battle with the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty won that battle, the Japanese army, which had experienced many years of war in the Warring States Period, really made many Ming generals suffer enough.

This time, those who came here obviously did not belong to the rabble of the level of the Wukou, although what Yuruo said was also very reasonable, whether they were samurai or what before, in the eyes of the Chinese, these people are now the Wukou. But the Japanese are the Japanese and the Japanese, but they cannot be underestimated at all.

"Zhang, your guess may be right! These people are not ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary pirates to do this! "Reska seemed to understand what I meant, the gang wasn't so vulnerable, but he was still calm, without the slightest sense of excitement about the coming war.

"This is very helpful for the first actual combat of our Shenji Battalion, although according to intelligence, the number of this gang of Japanese is not large, but for the sake of prudence, I decided to take the first and second battalions of the first regiment for this operation!" The first regiment is the best trained regiment among the four infantry regiments, probably the "first" of the first regiment when the number was compiled gave these soldiers a very simple misunderstanding, so the training of this regiment is always very hard, and their training results are much better than those of other regiments, and the first and second battalions of the first regiment are the two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness, and it should not be a problem to use them to deal with the Japanese invaders.

Reska nodded, and continued: "The strength of more than seven hundred people in two battalions should be no problem against these two or three hundred!" The key question is whether the new muskets and the shooting tactics we have trained have worked! Zhang, if you don't mind, I'm willing to go with you to exterminate these Japanese! ”

"Of course! That's what I was going to do," I nodded, motioning for Reska to come with me. Since I didn't have much combat experience, and Resca had experience fighting the Spaniards when she was in England, I needed someone with a lot of combat experience to cheer me on and give me ideas when the situation was in doubt.

"We must fight, but how to find these gangsters is the main problem!" Seeing me talking to Reska, Yuruo hurriedly interjected beside him.

What this little girl said is also the biggest problem in this operation, because these Japanese robbers come and go like the wind every time, and they are not easy to fight with the officers and soldiers, and it is really difficult to capture the main force of this army. And if I want to completely wipe out this Japanese army, the best way is to directly find the lair of this group of Japanese bandits and finish the battle.

"Find their nests, then destroy them!" Reska continued to express her opinions in her broken Chinese.

"If I can find it, I still need you!" Yu Ruo stood up with a big sting: "If I had known where their nest was, I would have taken the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and wiped out these people!" ”

Yuruo boasted about Haikou while gesturing, but she was right about one thing, if she had known the hiding place of the Japanese Kou, Li Guangzhong would have led his Liaodong Iron Cavalry to trample these beasts into ashes.

"Zhang, do you have any plans?" Reska looked at me with a frown, as if waiting for my decision.

Judging from the previous attacks, this group of people came by boat from the sea and then evacuated immediately after the attack, if this is the case, then this group of people must have a stronghold at sea, that is, they have found this stronghold.

"Anyway, pass on the order first, Yuruo, you accompany me to the fishing village that was attacked last time and see if I can find any clues."
