The East China Sea Fleet consisted of eight destroyers and 12 first-class battleships with four decks, each of which was equipped with two Lightning-class communication boats. In addition, there were dozens of supply ships, sails and steering wheels were changed, and eight large ships were used as troop carriers. The shock brought to the Korean soldiers by the majestic and mighty fleet naturally taught them a lot of self-confidence.
But it has to be said that the lightning communication boat that crosses the sea also makes the Korean soldiers feel awe of Huaxia.
Not only does it look weird because of the addition of hydrofoil design, but it's fast, fast enough to reach the point of being unbelievable for people of this era. The Lightning-class communication boat, due to the constraints of the material, although it did not reach the more than 40 knots in Ding Yi's memory, the speed of nearly 30 knots was still absolutely terrifying.
However, none of the communication ships that were traveling across the sea were running at full speed.
Because nearly ten years later, it still can't solve the situation of sudden disintegration in the middle of extreme speed. So that few sailors are willing to let it go full speed when it is crosswinded. After all, not everyone is a madman like He Tiedan, for the pleasure of speed, even after experiencing the shipwreck, he still dares to row at full speed against the crosswind.
But it doesn't matter, even the speed of the early twenties is shocking enough.
And when it was learned from the sailors that this was also designed by Ding Yi, a rumor began to circulate among Korean soldiers: "Mr. is a North Korean, and Mr.'s father has been to North Korea back then." After his mother gave birth to Mr., he took Da Ming's back! "You're wrong. Mr.'s ancestors were from Quanzhou and went to China to blossom and bear fruit. Passed down this lineage! "No, Mr. was a military family whose ancestors escaped the Yalu River, and later returned to China after making a fortune in North Korea, and Mr. is a North Korean!" "You are all talking nonsense, Mr. is a Korean, a native of Jeonju, and he is looking at the Celestial Empire in trouble. I went to help the danger! ”
There was a boatswain who could understand North Korean, but he was actually an old pirate under Huang Xiaoyang, who walked through the cabin and listened funny, so he asked those Korean soldiers: "What are the credentials for what you say?" If you want to say that, I said that the emperor Lao Tzu is my father,, I can really talk about anything! ”
"Sir, we are North Koreans! If you don't believe, I'll swear by it." "That's not one. A whole platoon of Korean soldiers in the cabin surrounded them, shouting for an oath to cut off their fingers. The old pirate was stunned for a moment, not to admit it, but to fight. He is not afraid, the problem is discipline in Ding Yi's army, he has stayed for so many years. The drill code is also transparent, if the quarrel gets the limbs of the comrades-in-arms mutilated. At that time, I am afraid that there will be no need to be confined for a few days.
So the old pirate had no choice but to walk away from the hatch, so the Korean soldiers in the cabin. cheered as if he had won, and privately felt that Ding Yi was originally a North Korean and was absolutely infallible. is even more knowledgeable, the more it is played: "Look at Mr. Dominating North Korea, but not hurting the people, even these elite veterans under his command are also bound, and they are not allowed to buy and sell, if it is not for the whole state, which general will do this?" "For a while, everyone said yes.
Liu Ji soon got the news, and even he had a headache, so he had to go to Ding Yi to report: "Sir, all the veterans of the next class, platoon, company, and battalion have been drawn out to teach them to recommend themselves as officials, and there is no one to restrain them now, how can it be good to go on like this?" What he meant was that he hoped that the veterans of the Rong First Regiment and the Guard Regiment would serve as officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels, so that it would be easier to control.
But Ding Yi, who was sitting on the bow of the boat drinking tea with Li Bing, did not accept Liu Ji's opinion, and even ordered Liu Ji: "The affairs of the Foreign Legion, except for propaganda affairs, you don't pay too much attention to others, you use your heart to make the personnel who have made military achievements, the official language of the Ming Dynasty and meet the standards, and the procedures when applying for naturalization are well thought out, and you must ensure transparency and fairness at that time, and don't really let anyone meet the standards. ”
Liu Ji had no choice but to retreat, although Li Bing was a troll, but he had a benefit, he didn't understand and asked, so he asked Ding Yi: "Ask sir, draw out the head and tail of the low-level soldiers, I think that Mr. doesn't want to teach me Huaxia Erlang, and I was injured in this selection and jumping camp, but why is it that above the battalion, staff, military affairs, logistics, etc., are still governed by Huaxia officials?" ”
"I can't trust these North Koreans, they haven't shown the military talent that can make me believe, and at the regiment level and above, many staff officers and other operations cannot be handed over to these illiterate people." Ding Yi explained to Li Bing, but said to Cao Jixiang, "Su Jian led the first regiment of the Foreign Legion as the first combat sequence unit to land on Tsushima Island. ”
Tsushima is not too far from Jeju Island, especially for this huge fleet, not too far away.
In the afternoon of the same day, after Ding gave the order, he saw Tsushima Island in the distance.
"Without naval artillery support, there won't be any support before your troops break up, so I'm going to advise you and the regimental headquarters that it's best not to land." Ding Yi was on the deck, looking at the Japanese people running in a panic on the shore through the binoculars, and said to Su Zhen beside him.
The latter rarely rejected Ding Yi's kindness: "Sir, I and the officers and soldiers of the regimental headquarters have decided to participate in the landing together, after all, this is the soldier we have trained. ”
Ding Yi put down the binoculars, looked at Su Yan for a long time, and punched him in the chest: "Okay, I'm not as good as you, that's right, if you don't dare to go ashore, but you don't have confidence in the soldiers you have trained." Go ahead, but unless the other battalions outside of the regimental headquarters are scattered, you still won't get reinforcements or naval guns. ”
"I understand." Su Zhen saluted, straightened his waist and went down.
It was impossible for the Daifuku boat to sail to the shore, because it was too close for fear of bottoming out and running aground, so one by one the assault boats were lowered from the large Fukuk boat, and the Korean soldiers, in platoons, boarded the assault boats from the rope ladder in turn. Before the landing and beach grabbing began, the First Regiment of the Foreign Legion had already suffered more than 30 casualties. They were all on the rope ladder and fell into the water. More than a dozen people were rescued, and another dozen drowned.
Fortunately, we finally started to land and grab the beach. Ding Yi naturally would not distribute firearms to Korean soldiers, and he did not go crazy, at least the current Ming Dynasty did not have the confidence to use the Foreign Legion without fear. Therefore, the equipment of the foreign army is one level lower than that of the division reorganized from the regiment and battalion.
But for the North Korean soldiers, they are already satisfied.
Pikemen can get mild steel quenched blades; Sword and shield soldiers can obtain wrought-iron forged chicken breastplate - only the front chest is metal, and the back is leather. That is, if they turn their backs to the enemy, they will be unprotected; As for the archers, they almost emptied the inventory of Jeolla Province and the left side of Seoul.
Already armed to the teeth, for them.
"Send a messenger ship and order Su Jian and the regimental headquarters led by him to allow them to go ashore only after establishing a beachhead!" Ding Yi was on the deck, holding a telescope and watching the progress of dozens of assault boats, and immediately gave this order to the heralds.
It was obvious that Su Jian wanted to lead the officers of the regimental headquarters and logistics department, which were all composed of veterans of the Rongyi Regiment and the Guard Regiment, together with about thirty veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, armed with rifles and revolvers. Rush ashore to establish a beachhead so that the Korean recruits will not suffer too much losses when they rush to the beach.
"Sir, as long as you can win. It seems that Uncle Su has no choice but to do this. Liu Ji spoke in a low voice.
Ding Yi didn't put down the binoculars, but also lowered his voice: "It's okay?" If you want a bullet in the chamber of your gun when you're facing a pirate. Or is there a North Korean recruit? I don't mince words, for me. I choose the former. ”
Liu Ji listened and immediately understood. He smiled and said, "The disciple respectfully receives the teachings. ”
In fact, the meaning he understood was still different from Ding Yi's words themselves.
Ding Yi believes that recruits must be trained on the battlefield, which can allow them to grow up quickly, even if it will bring some setbacks, it is also something that must be endured, otherwise, a Korean soldier is not as reliable as a bullet.
But Liu Ji's understanding has become: a North Korean soldier is not as useful as a bullet, and their positioning is cannon fodder, absolute cannon fodder! Therefore, Su Zhen must be refused to waste even a single bullet for the sake of these cannon fodder.
"Yuyuki, it's not fast if the knife is not sharpened." On the side, Li Bing said this to Liu Ji, it seems that he can really understand what Ding Yi means, in the cold weapon war, he can win the commander of the nomads, and he really can't compare with Liu Ji in terms of military strategy.
As Ding Yi expected, a chaotic beach-rushing landing began, and three assault boats capsized because of uncoordinated rowing before they could reach the shore, and more than a dozen of the Korean soldiers on board who were wearing half of the chicken breastplate were drowned. Armor must have weight, and for people who are not good at water, falling into the water with armor is definitely death.
After paying more than a dozen lives without battle damage, the 1st Regiment of the Foreign Legion finally began to land.
What Ding Yi didn't expect was that they actually succeeded.
In addition to a dozen people who fell into the water and drowned, the first battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Foreign Legion, without paying any more price, landed successfully and began to establish a beachhead. Then the other three battalions also went ashore one after another, and the regimental headquarters, which had been waiting on the side, finally had to go ashore.
The Japanese on Tsushima did not gather their men until the first regiment had established a complete beachhead and dug fortifications, and sent several envoys to the beachhead, and if they could not reach an agreement, they were ready to drive the first regiment of the foreign regiment into the sea.
"It's too slow." Ding Yi frowned and sighed, he was not talking about the soldiers of the first regiment, but the Japanese people.
It was impossible to negotiate a deal, so the Japanese began to assemble, and the ashigaru armed with long bamboo spears, the samurai with katanas, and the generals on ponies and in extremely beautiful painted bamboo armor, began to launch the first charge on Tsushima Island with a more chaotic formation than the 1st Regiment of the Foreign Legion.
