Chapter 590: Beach-grabbing landing
At dawn, the Combined Naval Division launched an attack on Salmon Island.
The Japanese had arranged for sentries to be on duty at high places, but due to visibility, the sentries did not realize that something was wrong until the sailors were about to land. The guards were stunned when they saw the black-pressed warships rushing towards the beaches of the South Island, and everyone understood what such a large fleet of sailors meant.
The alarm was issued as soon as possible, and the sleeping widow was awakened and hurriedly got up to prepare.
However, the Japanese had lost the opportunity to fight the enemy at sea.
The operation has been carried out so far, and Guan Cheng is familiar with the Cheung Son Islands. The timing of the attack is impeccable. He knew that the naval combat strength of the player sailors was inferior to that of the Japanese Invaders, so he carefully planned this dawn raid, so as to make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, so that the combined naval divisions could face off against the Japanese in land battles where the relative strength gap was not so large.
Taking advantage of the fact that the pirates could not react, the pirates took the lead in rushing to land.
The beachfront was successful, but the pirate department did not rush in, and set up a position on the spot and waited for the player sailors behind to come up. The primary purpose of the dawn raid is to avoid a naval battle, the strategic goal has been achieved, and the Japanese have become vigilant and have lost the opportunity to continue to sneak in, and the next battle can only be decided by strength.
All the units of the naval division landed on the shore, the whole team was completed, and the battle to seize the island began.
The landing on the beach is the spearhead of the pirates, and the battle for the island is led by the player's sailors, and the pirates send a small force as a guide. This is not a mandatory requirement of Guan Cheng, but the lords are eager to fight, and they want to make a difference by participating in this operation, and Guan Cheng has long announced that the spoils of war will be distributed according to the merits of the war, and everyone not only covets the spoils of war, but also needs to get more plot merits through brave combat, and the desire to fight is unprecedentedly strong.
Under the guidance of the pirate guides, the joint sailors launched a full-scale attack on the location of the island's Japanese pirates.
Knowing that now was the time to fight desperately, the Wako swore to resist to the death.
As soon as the battle began, there were Wa Wa Wa who rushed out and started a white-knuckle battle with the United Sailors. A lord who followed his own troops forward, loudly reminded the sword and shield soldiers to step forward, be careful of the ninja darts released by the ninja darts, although the single lethality of the ninja darts is not very good, but a shot is a string, 120 range attacks in front of the body, the number of the darts reaches a certain number, the clearance effect is not generally strong, you must be careful to beware.
But the lord soon realized that he had put up an oolong.
These would-be robbers on the island just rushed over to fight hand-to-hand, and no one sent darts remotely.
The lord suddenly realized; The Wako on the island are not humanoid monsters that are refreshed daily by the system, they are all NPCs!
Come to think of it, it is the NPC pirates who issue the task of seizing the island, and the opponent should of course also be the NPC pirates.
There are no special means of humanoids, and there is no naval combat bonus, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is greatly reduced. If the system does not urgently lower the level of the pirates, according to the original design of the summer of pirates plot, the pirates and pirates are level 55, and the players who are up to level 50 have an advantage, and the pirates have to fight, but because the plot opening time is much earlier than expected, the player sailors are at a great disadvantage in the face of pirates and pirates, and the official has to deal with it urgently.
The Wako and the player sailor are at the same level, and their combat power is almost the same.
The strength is equal, and the key to determining victory or defeat is the number of troops, and in this regard, the joint naval division has an absolute advantage.
A battle ended in the total destruction of the Japanese invaders.
The morale of the United Sailors was greatly boosted and they continued to move forward.
Although the South Island is large, it is only an island after all, and the roads available for passage are limited, and there are more than 10,000 players and pirates who have landed on the South Island, and they have the ability to launch a full-scale attack.
The Japanese invaders resisted desperately, rushing out in groups from time to time, trying to block the advance of the naval division troops, but the gap between the two sides was too great, and the attack on the whole front could always form a local area to fight more and fight less, and the resistance of the Japanese invaders did not have much effect. In addition, the pirates are very familiar with the terrain on the island, and the occupation of Salmon Island by the pirates is a recent thing, and even some of the secret passages on the island have not yet had time to be discovered.
On the whole, the joint water division is in full bloom and advancing rapidly.
The lords cheered, as if victory was within reach, but Guan Cheng remained calm.
The combined naval division was in a state of strength because the Japanese were caught off guard and it took time to assemble, and now it has always been a small group of Japanese who have either rushed out to fight or defended against danger, just to buy the necessary time for the large army to assemble. So far, the Combined Mariners have not yet been truly tested, but it is not bad to continue to win in skirmishes, constantly weakening the Japanese and accumulating an advantage for their own victory.
The resistance of the Japanese was very stubborn, and it was a bit unexpected.
Pirates are "thieves" and definitely not the military.
The Wako are pirates from the Wa Kingdom, and from a common sense point of view, when faced with a completely hopeless battle, the wisest thing to do is to find a way to escape, rather than fight to the death. In the end, fighting to the death is the consciousness of the army, and it is difficult for ordinary armies to do it, and it is usually a quality only that only those elite divisions with inheritance and conviction have. The sworn resistance launched by these Japanese robbers on the island made Guan Cheng feel a little weird.
How does it feel a bit like the army......
What motivates these pirates to resist desperately?
Guan Cheng couldn't think of the answer for a while, and he didn't care too much, and when the battle was over, the answer would appear.
The only thing he was worried about now was the situation on the North Island.
According to the plan, the South Island and the North Island will be launched at the same time, the two islands are separated by miles, and it is not yet dawn, so there is no way to know how the North Island is going.
When Guan Cheng first went to the Flying Fish Territory to release a mission, he had chatted with Gan Ning for a while, and they had a common language. Although he didn't learn from Gan Ning, but Gan Ning talked about the theoretical level revealed when he talked about the water war, the strict and orderly performance of the Jiaojiao camp, and the domineering spirit of Gan Ning.
Just now, everyone was summoned to assign combat tasks, and Gan Ning took the initiative to ask for help.
No one objected, and everyone understood that the United Sailor only had the ability to take charge of the Jiaojiao Battalion.
Even Guan Cheng knew that this task was none other than the Flying Fish Sailor.
In order to ensure that the two sides act in unison and keep informed of the progress of both sides, Guan Cheng hopes that players will go to the North Island together. But what Guan Cheng didn't expect was that Gan Ning insisted on acting alone and refused to bring two lords with him. Even if Guan Cheng proposed to let the infantry lord who was close to the Flying Fish Territory accompany him, Gan Ning resolutely disagreed. Judging from Gan Ning's actions of throwing the two broken mouth lords into the sea just now, Gan Ning should not be a person who will change his mind easily.
In addition to the Flying Fish Sailor Division, there is no second naval division unit with scale and sufficient strength.
The management can only be compromised.
Lately, he'd heard a lot of rumors about the Flying Fish Collar.
The first time the Flying Fish Leader came into everyone's sight was during the Ghost and Wolf Disaster and the Xianbei cavalry frequently fought. Later, he clashed with the Montenegrin Army, but in the end not only was not eliminated, but took the initiative to destroy the Montenegrin Army and retreated, which eventually led to a large-scale conflict between the Montenegrin Army and the princes of Jizhou; In the past, everyone thought that the Flying Fish Leader was strong in that cavalry, but they didn't expect that this time the Pirate Summer Sailor came out and made a splash again......
The Flying Fish Leader has always been known for its mysteriousness and low-key behavior, but it is extremely powerful.
Guan Cheng knew that Gan Ning's request to act alone must have a reason why he insisted.
How can a territory like the Flying Fish Territory not have secrets?
As a result of the compromise, Guan Cheng was unable to learn about the situation in the North Island in time.
After the looting of Salmon Island, the Bohai pirates had no way of knowing the arrangement of the pirates on the island.
The most suitable place to live and settle the team is the South Island, Guan Cheng used to put the main force of the pirates in the South Island, but the North Island is more dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will not be too much of a problem to settle thousands of people. Although Guan Cheng had confidence in Gan Ning, the Flying Fish Sailor Division only had 1,000 troops, and if the number of Japanese pirates in the North Island was larger, the Flying Fish Sailor was likely to be in trouble.
Guan Cheng originally planned to send 2,000 sailors to Beidao and hand them over to Gan Ning for unified command, but Gan Ning immediately refused. You must know that Gan Ning is not even willing to act as a communicator for the lord player, so how can he agree to bring some irrelevant troops?
The will to resist displayed by the Austronesian pirates made the management even more heartfelt. If Beidao is like this, Gan Ning will no longer encounter trouble, but a bitter battle!
Guan Cheng was worried, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the North Island.
At this moment, a red glow appeared above the North Island, and then the fire came out, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
Guan Cheng murmured softly: "It seems that the other side has finally started, what is burning, such a big fire?" ”
The fire in the North Island quickly caught everyone's attention.
The United Sailor and the Pirates knew that it was the Flying Fish Sailor who had succeeded, and they thundered with joy. The Japanese were attacked, and just now they were counting on their companions from the North Island to come to the rescue, but they didn't expect that the North Island side was also fighting, and if there were so many people on the North Island side, they would definitely be defeated.
The main force of the Austronesian Japanese has been assembled.
Seeing the fire in the North Island, the faces of the South Island generals changed dramatically, and they roared like thunder.
He did not hesitate to overturn the plan to take advantage of the terrain to defend it, and the main force of the Japanese invaders suddenly made a force, abandoned the main road they were holding, and desperately attacked to the north. There is no danger to defend in the north, only a stone step leads to the north island, the stone step paved by Zhuji stone is more than 20 zhang high, about five miles long, stepping on the stone step is tantamount to self-extinction, even jumping into the sea is likely to hit the stone and die, the joint sailor in this direction does not invest much.
The main force of the Japanese invaders suddenly launched a fierce attack to the north, and the sailors there were caught off guard and were broken through the blockade by the Japanese invaders. Although Guan Cheng immediately mobilized the nearby sailors to block it, and he personally led the pirates to rush over, and re-perfected the encirclement after the fierce battle, some of the Japanese robbers successfully broke through and ran towards the North Island without looking back, with more than 1,000 people.
Guan Cheng's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.
Not only did the stewards notice that something was wrong, but the lords also realized the problem.
What is there in the North Island that forced the Japanese to jump off the wall in a hurry?
The Austronesian Japanese were besieged by sailors and could not protect themselves, and they still desperately sent reinforcements to the North Island at any cost, and there must be a reason why they had to fight hard. Although it is not clear for the time being how many Japanese invaders there are in the North Island, there are more than 1,000 Japanese in the South Island who have broken through the encirclement, which is more than the total strength of the Flying Fish Naval Division, and there will be a bitter battle in the North Island!
Everyone could vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the North Island, which proved that the Flying Fish Sailor was fighting fiercely with the Japanese and had not been able to quickly control the situation. More than 1,000 people rushed over from the South Island, can the Flying Fish sailor withstand it?
No one knows the answer.
At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place in the North Island.
Gan Ning insisted on the Jiaojiao battalion acting alone, indeed, as everyone deduced, in order to cover up the secrets of the sailor. On this expedition, Yu Buzhi agreed to let the Jiaojiao battalion bring a crossbow machine to the battle to enhance the long-range attack power of the Jiaojiao battalion.
The new crossbow machine is developed spontaneously by Pu Yuan, unique to the deer collar, although there are still some flaws, but there are also some obvious advantages that are different from the traditional crossbow machine, with considerable market value, the deer collar has a plan to put the improved model into the market. At present, the crossbow of the Deer Collar has never appeared publicly, and in order to avoid the connection between the Deer Collar and the Flying Fish Collar through the crossbow machine in the future, it is best for the Sailor not to use this weapon in front of other players.
Gan Ning understood that letting the Jiaojiao battalion carry the crossbow machine to the battle was to lead the main body of the sailors.
The lord's mercy and kindness to the inner are the consensus of the deer chasers.
No one wants to cause trouble for the lords.
There has long been a consensus within the sailors: even if they die on the battlefield, they will never use a crossbow machine in front of outsiders!
Gan Ning resolutely did not let people from other territories accompany him, and it was for this reason that he did not want to go with him.
According to Guan Cheng's description, there should not be too many Japanese in the North Island, it is likely that there are two or three hundred people stationed there, and at most there should not be more than a thousand, and Gan Ning is confident that the Jiaojiao battalion has the ability to deal with it alone. He took the Jiaojiao battalion to the scheduled landing site on the North Island and landed at the appointed time, only to find that the situation seemed to be a little different.
There are two landing points recommended by Guan Cheng.
One is near the Jiuzhang Cliff in the northwest corner, and the other is Half Moon Bay, the northernmost point of the North Island.
Due to the deep and rapid water near Jiuzhang Cliff and the rocky reefs, the Flying Fish sailor didn't even ask for a pirate guide in order to act alone, and for the sake of safety, Gan Ning decided to go ashore in Half Moon Bay. On the other hand, landing from Half Moon Bay, the northernmost part, allows you to advance from north to south along the way, and you don't have to worry about missing dead spots.
I found that this bay, which should have been empty, was actually full of warships!
The north and south islands are several miles apart, although they are connected by stone steps, after all, it is not so convenient, if the Japanese did not have a large number of troops stationed on the north island, there is no reason to park so many warships in Half Moon Bay. From the type and number of warships, Gan Jing estimated the approximate number of the North Island Japanese Bandits, which may have been around 2,000.
This result is twice as many as the maximum of 1,000 people estimated in advance.
Someone else in charge may consider whether to cancel the operation, or at least wait and see.
But who is Gan Ning, he decided to do the same!
Gan Jing's support for his decision was a surprise to Gan Ning, who had thought that his clan brother would resolutely oppose it.
"You don't have a fever in your brain, how did you change sex today?"
"Our troops were ordered to attack the North Island, and if they saw that the enemy army was strong, they would cower and betray their allies regardless of the overall situation, which would not only be intolerable by military law, but would also be shamed by outsiders and disgrace the territory, and the Jiao battalion would never be able to become an elite division. The only way to do this is to move forward according to the established plan, and we must not hesitate! However, things have changed and our plans have to be adjusted......"
Gan Jing suggested that all the warships in Half Moon Bay be burned after the war.
Judging from the number of warships, the number of warships in the North Island is twice that of the Jiaojiao battalion, and it is difficult for the Jiaojiao battalion to suppress the opponent, so in order to prevent the enemy from escaping after the battle, or to reinforce the South Island by boat, destroying the warships is the most direct and effective way. The warships in Half Moon Bay are very close, and the fire will spread soon!
This is the reason why the North Island is on fire.
The fire in Half Moon Bay burned the hope of the Japanese to escape, and also put the Jiaojiao camp in danger.
