Chapter 216: Temporary Recuperation
In the middle left of the city of the thousand households, there was a cheerful atmosphere, the generals of the sea wolf were almost all concentrated in this small official office at this time, and all of them showed excited smiles on their faces.
At the same time, there is a strong sense of confidence and pride on the faces of these people, because they now have this capital, thinking about what they have done in the past half a month, no one will say that they are a rabble.
In one fell swoop, they destroyed the Dutch fleet in the battle at the mouth of the Tamsui River, and not a single boat escaped, including the commander of the Dutch fleet, who was captured alive.
Then they went to Nanri Island, and in one fell swoop, they wiped out the Fujian Naval Division commanded by the Fujian General Army Yu Zhigao, which was a collection of all the elites of the entire Fujian Naval Division, with one or two hundred boats! They were beaten like flies, and only a few escaped in the end.
Then the Sea Wolf Army defeated nearly 7,000 officers and soldiers in a battle on Nanri Island, with fewer enemies and more enemies, and these officers and soldiers were also elite officers and soldiers of Fujian, forcing even the Fujian Economic System General to commit suicide on the spot.
Now they have swept Weitou Bay again, swept away all the Kinmen and Zhongzuo Offices, and pocketed all Weitou Bay, and then broke through Yuegang, grabbing a lot of money, and trying to make them unhappy, it is difficult at this time.
After the sabotage operation in Yuegang, Yu Xiaotian temporarily withdrew both the naval and land armies to Kinmen and Zhongzuo, where they temporarily rested.
After such a long time of fighting and preparing for battle, even the iron man would feel tired, and although it was far from achieving his goal now, it was still necessary to let his subordinates take a proper rest.
In addition, during this period of time, they obtained a large amount of materials from continuous operations, and they did not worry about eating and drinking, and in the interval between operations, everyone relaxed and relaxed, which was more conducive to the next step of continued action.
Therefore, all the talents gathered in the city of the center and left, gathered for a while, and by the way, also summarized and analyzed the actions during this time, and discussed the gains and losses.
Yu Xiaotian let these people speak freely, just say what they want to say, there are scribes on the side to make special records, Yu Xiaotian finally makes a summary and comment, the scribe will form a complete written material according to these records, and leave the bottom for the record as a war example to use in teaching.
Such a situation is already the practice of the sea wolf, but after every battle, even a very small conflict, a record will be specially compiled after the fact, in addition to being used as a battle merit for future reference, it can also summarize the gains and losses, and use it as a precedent.
In the morning, the generals expressed their opinions on every combat operation during this time, and did not shy away from pointing out some mistakes, for which some people also quarreled, but this did not affect their relationship, because since before the sea wolf formed an army, Yu Xiaotian had let his subordinates form such a tradition.
If everyone is in harmony, then it will certainly not be of any benefit to the growth of their army, and he has never taken the initiative to learn from the methods of managing the army of the officers and troops on land, but has completely adopted a set of training and combat methods that he has developed himself, and one of the most important methods is to let his subordinates learn something new from every battle.
It is believed that there is a problem in the case of war, and it is directly raised in person, and everyone analyzes it and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of doing so, so that these subordinate officers can understand the problem through such arguments and discussions, and know what it is, and why it is true.
So although the generals of the sea wolf used to be born with mud legs, but over the years, Tong Guò has been constantly fighting with people, and they have grown very rapidly, and they are no longer the Wuxia Amon of the year, and now these guys have developed the temperament of a soldier, decisive, resolute, dare to say and do, what to say, but in public, they will not offend people because of this.
After a day, they conducted a thorough summary and analysis of the recent battles, from which everyone gained a lot, including Yu Xiaotian himself, and also summed up some new experiences from these several battles.
Especially in the battle with the Dutch fleet outside the mouth of the Tamsui River, Yu Xiaotian and the admirals learned a lot of new things, and summed up a lot of useful experience on how to deal with these Western-style large plywood ships, which will be of great help to them when they encounter similar situations in the future.
And at present, it seems that after more than half a month of continuous military operations, the harvest of the sea wolves has exceeded any large-scale military operation they have before.
At present, just now, among the trophies they have obtained, including five large Western-style plywood ships of the Dutch, and more than 100 warships of various sizes and naval divisions, these two alone are enough to more than double the overall strength of the Seawolf's navy.
In addition, this time dozens of official ships and civilian ships were also captured on the side of Yuegang, and even if some of these old ships were eliminated, the number of remaining ships would be considerable.
The more ships means that the navy of the sea wolf may be greatly expanded, and the people in the navy are naturally very excited, and they are happy to smile a little bit about to find the north.
As for the army, this time the harvest is also quite rich, the first battle of Nanri Island, they captured nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers, these days in the Kinmen, Zhongzuo and other places, and captured nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, the results are also quite brilliant, especially the capture of a large number of land goods, which has never been done by the army before, and now the army, Tongguò at least has more right to speak in this battle.
More importantly, on the army side, it can be seen that Yu Xiaotian is ruthless this time, Nanri Island will definitely be taken back, and Haitan Island will also be included in the bag of the sea wolf in the future.
The key is that this time he came to Weitouwan, Yu Xiaotian ordered to take down Zhongzuo and Kinmen and other places in one go, which shows that this time Yu Xiaotian no longer just wanted to rob Yuegang and pull it down, this time it is not good to keep it here for a long time.
As long as the sea wolves do not evacuate this area, then the army will have a lot to do in the future, guarding Kinmen Zhongzuo and other places, the navy alone is not enough, and it must also have the cooperation of the army, in addition, they can also see that Yu Xiaotian is not ready to stop here, and there will definitely be greater actions on land in the next step, so this requires the army to do these things.
For a long time, the army has always been at a disadvantage in the Seawolf military system, and both personnel and investment are far less than that of the navy, which makes the army complain about this.
However, in the past, they were mainly responsible for guarding only Nanri Island, Tamsui, Jicoop and other places, but the actual situation is that after having a navy, there is really no need for too many land soldiers, even if they are not satisfied, they can only secretly slander themselves, but there is no way to propose a large expansion of their army.
But now the situation has changed, and their boss seems to want to meddle in land affairs, which is not enough for the navy alone, and they still have to rely on their army to act on land, and they are more professional than the navy in doing this.
Therefore, as long as Yu Xiaotian wants to control the side of Weitouwan, the participation of the army is indispensable, and the army will definitely be expanded in the next step, which makes the people in the army secretly laugh.
How can Yu Xiaotian not see the little abacus in the hearts of these guys, just see through it for the time being, as a general of the army, if you don't want to expand your strength, then this general must not be a good general, the army of the sea wolf is still in its infancy, and it is necessary to carry forward this martial style, so that everyone has hope, so that they can work harder to do things.
"Okay, that's all for today! Let's talk about the next action plan! I didn't tell you a lot of things before, and now you should know what I'm going to do! Yu Xiaotian looked at the summary of the day, so he stopped the noise of these subordinates.
When the scribes in the hall heard this, they quickly got up and sorted out their records, and left the hall, and what they said next was not something that their level could hear, so they were very self-aware and all withdrew from the hall.
As soon as everyone heard Yu Xiaotian's words, they all suddenly came to their senses again, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to receive the order.
"There's no need to be so nervous, today I'm just talking about the plan, not the order! Sit down, everyone! Yu Xiaotian waved everyone to sit down.
Everyone then sat down again, all looking at Yu Xiaotian with eager eyes, waiting for Yu Xiaotian to reveal their hole cards.
Looking at the eyes of the generals, Yu Xiaotian coughed lightly and then said loudly: "This time I started to prepare from the outside, and so far, everyone is just following my instructions, taking one step at a time, but I haven't told you all the plans!"
But today, I think it's time to tell you how far we want to go this time!
Since its inception, our sea wolf has been in the coastal area of Fujian for more than three years, and Yu asked himself that in the past three years, he has not done anything harmful, on the contrary, we have also given the coastal Fujian a peace, so that the people along the coast have a much better life, including the maritime merchants sailing on the coast of Fujian is much safer!
However, the government has repeatedly tried to put us to death, and we have repeatedly backed down, unwilling to embarrass them.
But the Fujian government has no self-knowledge, and it still doesn't die! In that case, then you can't blame us for being polite!
In the previous battle of Nanri Island, the destruction of their naval fleet and those officers and soldiers who landed on the island was just the beginning, and now we have burned the Moon Harbor and conquered Kinmen Zhongzuo and other places, which is not our goal!
I'm afraid that in the past two days, you are still wondering, when will we go back, so today I will tell you to wait, this time since we are here, we will not leave again! This Weitou Bay, I want it!
Soon I will also take down Gaopu and Tong'an County, if the government is still not convinced, we will completely subdue them, and then I will take Quanzhou and Zhangzhou! Until the government admits defeat! ”
