Chapter 591: The cruelty that has been decided a long time ago

In order to boost morale, Tokugawa Iemitsu personally visited the sailor, rewarded him, sent good wine and meat, and asked the sailor to fight hard. It should be said that the effect is very good and the morale is high. But the navy is a technical branch, and it really does not fight by morale, of course, morale is also important, but it is not a decisive factor.

After really witnessing an asymmetrical war on the sea, Tokugawa Ieyasu was no longer as terrified, trembling all over, like sifting chaff, and his teeth were fighting all the time. The kind of fierce, overwhelming artillery fire, which was enough to destroy him, hit him too hard. Large-caliber guns such as 24-pounder, 32-pounder, and 48-pounder guns could often make a Japanese ship incapacitated or sink directly into the water with just one shot.

How can this battle be fought? Those turtle boats, still struggling to row forward, suddenly smashed into the turtle shell, directly smashing a big hole, and there were dead and wounded inside. Not to mention the smaller arsonist boats, if they are not hit, they will be scrapped no matter where they are hit, either sinking or not being able to move in place.

The second T-shaped shooting effect was better, because the Japanese ships at this time were in a daze, some rescued those who fell into the water, and some did not know whether to continue to chase, because it was obvious that they could not catch up. Others are already making a U-turn, and this is a smart person who knows something is wrong. However, it was too late for this qiē, and the raining shells fell on their heads again.

Whoosh, boom, boom,......。 The ears were full of these sounds, and the water column on the sea continued to rise, during which ships were constantly shot, people were injured, and people were constantly overboard. Screams, cannons. The sound of breaking wind, cries for help, and shouts are intertwined to form a very chaotic Shura field.

Chen Xie couldn't see the slightest pity on his face, and even a faint cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Now society. Someone summed up the character of the maritime people, and in Chen Xie's view, this is Nima. Just like in the TV series "The Sky of History", Jiang Daya said that "this is a bad guy, no matter what camp he is in, he is a bad guy." "How are the ordinary people of this nation, Chen Xie is not good to evaluate, but the political elites of this nation. He has dominated Japan's politics for a long time. Their shamelessness, the whole world knows. Ordinary people in Japan, on the other hand, are more obedient, and even when they have votes in their hands, the vast majority of them still vote for those shameless politicians. Let's put it this way, there must be good people in Japan, but Chen Xie believes that there are more Japanese. At a given moment, it's certainly not a good bird.

Chen Xie did not intend to find an excuse for the disaster he was about to bring to the country. Put yourself on a cleaner footing. One thing is very clear, Lao Tzu is here to beat you, and you don't need any reason. It's just to beat you.

After another beautiful T-shaped dense artillery fire, another beautiful turn, all the Japanese ships that tried to get close to the fleet sank in the face of heavy artillery fire. The ships that stopped in circles. It was not let go either, and the fleet, which turned its head, began to divide into three groups, one group of five warships, with the cooperation of the clippers who suddenly killed on the flanks. The fleet pressed towards the Japanese fleet, chasing and killing one by one, not letting go of a single one.

The sound of artillery continued from eight o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock, and the ships that had fled back into the bay did not escape their fate, and the fleet rushed into the bay and aimed its cannons at the ships, sinking them one by one. It doesn't matter if they are flying a white flag or not, whether they are begging for mercy or not, see one and fight another.

When the gunfire stopped, not a single Japanese ship could be seen on the sea, and even innocent fishing boats were patronized by artillery fire.

The moment the cannon stopped, Chen Xie stood on the deck of the Liaoning, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction. The warships were lined up in a column in the bay, and they were aiming their guns at the city on the shore with great force. In fact, at this time, there were not many shells, but Chen Xie still decided to shoot all the shells towards a residential area by the dock.

Chen Xie knew that his decision might be a little cruel, but he still couldn't help it. When this battle was launched, Chen Xie had already told himself that any kindness was superfluous, and occasional kindness was just an illusion of deception.

The shelling effect of solid shells was not good, it did not bring much damage to the building at all, and there was no napalm era, which is really a big regret in life. The biggest effect of this shelling was that it caused a huge panic, when the shells punched holes one after another in the houses, the docks were deserted, and people were running away everywhere, crying for their fathers and mothers.

War, there is no such thing as justice and injustice, and for the strong, this is the best era. You don't have to spend too much to get huge benefits, which is why modern China has been repeatedly the result of wars. In fact, there is no reason for people to talk about it, I just want to beat you, I just want to beat you through guò to fill my money bag.

And Chen Xie came to fight Japan, not only because of the money bag, but also for a deeper reason, that is, he wanted to trample this nation under his feet, that is, he wanted to hurt the vitality of this nation. I just want this nation to walk freely on the road of closing the country and not having too many twists and turns.

The landing force outside the bay had already begun to move, and the boats were struggling to the shore. On the shallow beach, the soldiers jumped out of the boat, pushed the boat to the shore, and after running aground, they grabbed their weapons and backpacks and threw themselves towards the favorable terrain on the shore, and the infantry lined up to prepare for battle. The artillerymen unloaded the three-pounder guns and quickly assembled them.

The expected landing operation did not come as quickly as expected. It was only after the landing of a battalion that the sentry sent a message that the Japanese army was approaching. Su Haochen, who personally landed on the shore to command, immediately summoned a place with a good field of vision and raised his binoculars to observe. It was the Japanese shogunate army that came, under various banners, and there were some cavalry, but not many, maybe two or three thousand, riding on short horses, a bit like donkeys. Overall, there were about 10,000 troops from the Japanese shogunate.

Judging the distance, there was still about half an hour of preparation time, Su Haochen looked back and saw that the infantry team of the Azi Battalion had all been completed, and found a relatively flat place as a battlefield. Because it was a landing operation, no more artillery was carried, only forty three-pounder guns carried by the infantry corps. The artillery team attached to it has not yet begun to go to sea at this time.

Although there is only one A-shaped battalion, Su Haochen is full of confidence in victory. With a bang, Su Haochen took out his battle knife, and after playing with a beautiful knife flower, he held it diagonally in his hand. He shouted: "Dengzhou battalion, forward!" ”

An infantry battalion of only more than 2,000 people dared to face the Japanese army of nearly 10,000 people. This scene confused Tokugawa Iemitsu who was in the army? "Are they crazy?" There was such a thought in my heart, and it quickly passed. Sakai Tadashi looked at it very cautiously and said: "General, I think it's better to be cautious, the Ming army is a bit weird, you pay attention, it's all iron artillery and big guns." ”

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not have much courage to fight, but he still had to personally command the army to meet it. One is that he can't afford to lose, and the other is that he is unwilling. Therefore, even if his calves are still shaking, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who is wearing a suit of armor, still has to bite the bullet and lead his army to meet the battle. In Japan, if the general retreats at this time, he will be looked down upon by his subordinates. Even if the battle is defeated at sea, these samurai on the ground will not think that they will defeat the battle.

"There's no time to think about it, let's move forward." Tokugawa Iemitsu could only pretend to be extremely calm at this time, gently pinching the horse's belly, and the war horse slowly moved forward, behind him were his cavalry, and more than 6,000 troops prepared in advance. Because I don't know where the Ming army might land, I can only divide all the main forces into two parts, where the Ming army goes, and which side of the troops will take the initiative to attack. On the other side of the command is Sakai Tadashi's brother.

"Look, they've stopped." Sakai Tadashi shouted, because he was in a hurry, he didn't call the general.

When Su Haochen ordered to stop advancing, he was still about twenty minutes away from the opponent, and even if it was a cavalry, he had to run for a while. The place is good, a hill that is spacious enough, but not very steep, and the artillery can stand on a higher position and hit a little farther. The infantry can shoot from a high position, and the view ahead is excellent.

While the battle for the landing force was still brewing, the cruelty on the sea continued. The soldiers on the merchant ships began to use their rifles, one by one, to kill the Japanese who had fallen into the water. The one who gave the order was Chen Xie. The banging of gunfire continued, and the sea continued to appear red and red, and one by one lives disappeared under the muzzle of the rifle.

Chen Xie, who was standing on the deck, looked at the corpses floating in the bay, and said to himself: "The indomitable heroes on the Gaosheng, I really hope that you can also travel through time and space to see this scene. ”

Although it was impossible to understand why Chen Xie gave such an order, every officer resolutely carried out Chen Xie's order. The soldiers also had no choice but to execute, and under the reprimand of the officers, they used their rifles to shoot the desperate survivors on the sea.

Chen Xie couldn't explain it to his brothers, he couldn't tell them, this was the cruelty he had decided a long time ago. Even if he didn't have to explain, Chen Xie still found an excuse to go back and tell those officers and soldiers that anyone who dared to resist must be cruel! Otherwise, when you come to a strange country, you will encounter a lot of unexpected troubles. Very strong reason too! (To be continued......)
