Chapter 764: Sakai Port is not Wonsan

The phone is really sharp in this era, and under normal circumstances, when the news comes back, it will take more than an hour, and then another hour when I go back, and it will be two hours inside and out, so how many things will be delayed. Military discipline is a wonderful thing, sometimes emphasized, sometimes not emphasized. For example, during the robbery war in India and the purge of local stubborn forces in Java, any action of the soldiers was not disciplined. But it is different in Japan, once the Japanese population is subdued, its obedience and patience are not at all comparable to those of the natives of Southeast Asia and South Asia. If you want to say that the world's endurance and hard work are ranked, the Chinese are the first, and the Japanese are the second. Moreover, the discipline and obedience of the Japanese are far superior to those of the Chinese.

Let's put it this way, as long as Japan is included in Chen Xie's power system, these Japanese are the best thugs and cannon fodder. It is more difficult to train a Chinese and a Japanese to become qualified soldiers, compared to the difficulty of training a Chinese than a Japanese. Therefore, Chen Xie still attached great importance to Japan's population, and repeatedly stressed before the war that Japan's military operations should not be carried out in the past. Of course, those who resolutely resist will naturally be killed.

The news of the vanguard came back less than two hours later, and after lunch a company of troops, under the cover of a machine gun and a mountain gun, launched a tentative attack. It was just one cannon, and after ten shells, the rebels ran out of the village. Fearing deception, the stragglers rushed forward under the cover of machine guns, and naturally rushed into the village without resistance. After capturing a few prisoners, there were more than 100 people in this village, of whom there were no more than five samurai, and the rest were captured peasants who had been trained for less than a month. The five samurai gathered together to discuss how to resist. One shell fell nearby, three dead and one seriously wounded, and the remaining one saw that it was not right, and immediately ran away with a dozen subordinates. As soon as the others saw the situation, not to mention the casualties of more than 20 people caused by the artillery fire, the survivors left their guys and ran home. When the door is closed, he becomes a peasant, and there is no military uniform anyway.

After entering the village, the regiment commander Uchida Ping immediately reported that it was a small fortress, and by the way, there was also a supply depot and a recruit training station. In peacetime, there are more than 100 combat units, as well as more than 100 local farmers and fishermen. When he unexpectedly found that there were more than 1,000 stone of rice in a granary, Uchida asked his superiors whether to distribute the rice to the local people.

Chief of Staff Lin Chunjiang replied to him, this matter is not your responsibility. Just be optimistic about the grain. Before dark, when Lin Chunjiang came to the village with a platoon of soldiers, political workers, and medical personnel, the main force of the vanguard regiment had already continued to advance, leaving a squad of troops, and after handing over the granary, he also packed up and left.

Political workers carrying a loudspeaker in their hands began to do ideological work from house to house, and when they came to the door, they were naturally people carrying a small bag of rice. Then various propaganda, the shogun welcomed the Ming Dynasty as the new king of Japan. The new king of Japan wanted to overthrow the samurai class who oppressed the people, and then distribute their grain to the people, and the land to the people to cultivate, only to pay 30% of the land rent, and all other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were exempted.

In Daming, you can't play the local tyrants and divide the fields, in Japan and North Korea. Chen Xie is very slippery.

For those soldiers who surrendered, they were also treated very well, all of them were Japanese who could speak Japanese, and the medical staff also treated the wounded soldiers, as long as they were in order. There won't be any trouble. At dinner, dozens of captives were also given some rice, cooked for themselves under supervision, and then lined up to eat. After eating and drinking, the political workers came again and began to preach various truths related to the new Japan. And the attitude is also very good, and he takes the trouble to reason with everyone.

Don't you really say it, just like that, more than 30 captured captives took the initiative to ask to join the ranks of the invaders. The problem is that the political workers are still very polite to tell them that you have not received formal military training, and it is irresponsible for you to let you go to war. Everyone's idea is good, but we can't do it, in order to take care of everyone's kindness, the superiors decided to release everyone to go home, and those who don't want to go home can join the direct front team to help the troops transport supplies.

Ordinary people and soldiers don't care about any country or nation, in the past in the rebels, they only had two meals a day, and they still ate very poorly, and they still didn't have enough to eat. Now these "compatriots" have come back, saying that they want to liberate everyone, no longer be oppressed by the samurai masters, and give everyone enough to eat, eat well, and pay for their work. This gap was immediately manifested, and dozens of young men in the village took the initiative to join the Nao-front team, but in one day and one night, the political workers dealt with these panicked Japanese.

This is not a joke, after the straight front team set off with the brigade, the political workers left two people, and led the people in the village to start measuring the land, and divided the food and land according to the population. After this set, the people will be considered dead.

The main force of the 11th Division continued to advance, coming at every place it passed, and the speed was not too fast. The preparations before the war were very sufficient, and the political workers came to the whole of Japan, and there were no less than 500 people who followed the 11th Division, all of whom were brainwashed naturalized Japanese people.

The vanguard regiment of the 11th Division fought more and more boldly, directly rolling the three battalions to attack, and kept advancing forward, and after Niu Tojiro and Lin Chunjiang, who were following behind, found that the vanguard regiment was advancing too fast, they had no intention of dissuading them, but decided after discussing it, it would be good to leave one battalion of troops, and the rest of the troops would advance quickly and take Nagasaki as quickly as possible.

The main force of the Satsuma Domain was not in Nagasaki, more than 10,000 wolf-like troops slaughtered it, and the equipment was absolutely superior, and there was no decent resistance along the way, and on the fifth day of landing, the 33rd and 34th infantry regiments surrounded Nagasaki. At this time, the fleet commanded by Li Heng directly slaughtered outside the port after the threat of the artillery batteries on land did not exist, and supported the operation on the ground with fierce artillery fire. After only one day of fighting, Nagasaki was taken. The sailors of the Satsuma Domain in the harbor resisted stubbornly, but their strength was too poor, and there were only more than 50 small boats in total. This time, the Navy stopped playing anything without leaving a living mouth, releasing the boat and rescuing the drowning man.

Chen Xie, who has modern thinking, will always remember some special things, such as the slogan of "100 million broken jade". Don't say it, this slogan is not shouted nonsense, yes, the Japanese are really crazy, otherwise there is no such thing as a "chrysanthemum attack"? The U.S. imperialism, the most powerful in the world, came to a conclusion after summing up all kinds of intelligence that it would not be difficult to capture the Japanese mainland, but it would have to pay the price of millions of casualties. It is precisely because of this conclusion that the US imperialists threw two mushroom eggs on Japan's head.

Therefore, the Japanese samurai in my impression can always hold very scummy weapons and play with the American imperialists, who are armed to the teeth. Especially for things like street fighting, the equipment advantage will be greatly negated.

Let's put it this way, Chen Xie overestimated the will of the Japanese to resist in this era, and directly led the landing operation in Sakai Port, which almost turned into a joke. Fortunately, Japan is not Korea, Chen Xie is not MacArthur, Sakai Port is not Wonsan, and the 11th Division does not have the perverted marching speed of the American imperialists.

After Ushito Jiro and Hayashi Harue took Nagasaki by Shunlì, they immediately refreshed the members of the Shimazu clan who remained in Nagasaki when they found that there were not many armed forces on the ground of the Satsuma Domain. According to the information obtained, the main forces of the Satsuma Domain have gone to fight the shogunate army, and the local forces are all local forces, that is, a few samurai leading a group of peasants, and the scattered ones do not pose much of a threat at all.

This information made the courage of these two goods immediately fatten, what else is there to say, I used to think about operating as a regiment, but now I just take the battalion as a unit and scatter the troops. Out of prudent consideration, Lin Chunjiang collected some cattle and rushed directly to Sakai Harbor with the strength of a regiment as quickly as possible to meet the main force of the landing operation.

The action of this regiment was essentially an armed parade, and the Satsuma Domain itself did not have many troops, and in order to defeat the shogunate, the old people all got in, and the total number of troops guarding the house was less than 2,000, and they had to occupy Sakai Port with the Choshu Domain, and keep an eye on Kyoto with other rebels. Even in Sakai Port, the combined strength of the two domains was only more than 1,000 people, and no one expected that the army of the Ming Empire would fight from the sea.

The strength of the naval and land armies that rushed to Sakai Port was relatively stronger, that is, the 3rd Division of an infantry division transferred from the northeast and the 2nd Regiment of the Mountain Brigade. In the entire overseas alliance, only the mountain troops and the Marine Corps have a brigade formation. This is related to the combat requirements of the troops, and the three-three system can survive in the rabbit country and have strong vitality, which shows that this thing is very reasonable, and it is the product of countless actual combat tests. Chen Xie is really not a bad taste, let alone lazy, but this compilation is indeed more practical.

The landing battle in Sakai Harbor proceeded more smoothly, and the artillery fire of twenty third-class battleships easily destroyed the defenders' will to resist, which was still the product of protecting the harbor, not firing at the perimeter of the harbor, but only clearing the surrounding batteries and forts. After an hour of overwhelming artillery fire, a white flag was raised over Sakai Harbor.

How can I say it, in Japan during this period, there were a lot of leading parties. When the cannon sounded, many Japanese in the port gathered together, colluded with the Ming and Korean businessmen who were doing business in the local area, and pulled up a temporary armed force of hundreds of people.

As soon as the landing force here had completed the control of Sakai Port, a regiment sent by Ushito Jiro, and the vanguard cavalry reconnaissance unit appeared thirty miles away, and the next day, when the vanguard of the two armies unexpectedly met, Chen Xie wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Great luck! (To be continued......)
