240 Capture of Tsushima
Map 12 "East Asian Seas" has been published in various QQ groups.
On the morning of May 20, a South Korean fleet of more than 1,800 ships completely encircled the Japanese island of Tsushima, ordering the Japanese players to hand over the captured South Korean fishing boats and NPC fishermen, and after unsuccessful negotiations, they entered the port.
The Korean-Japanese war broke out on the Falklands.
In addition to the large number of Korean players, the Korean fleet also has a very special small team - an observer group of fifteen Chinese players from the Bohai Fleet, Qingdao Fleet, and Zhoushan Fleet, as well as five North Korean players.
The Chinese Gamer Organization sent observers to join the South Korean fleet for military observation, with special investigative powers to ensure a detailed understanding of every progress of the Korean-Japanese War. Because the Chinese player organization provided a large amount of military supplies, the Korean players did not refuse this request. The main purpose of involving North Korean players is to dispel the concerns of North Korean players, and to win the cooperation of North Koreans and unanimously deal with Japan.
The main task of this observation mission was to observe all the details of the war between South Korea and Japan on the Falklands. They followed the South Korean fleet and observed and recorded the entire process of the war.
In addition, they are also the plenipotentiary representatives of the interconnections between China and South Korea, China and North Korea, and if the South Korean side has any special needs, they can communicate them to the player organizations in their countries. Although the South Korean fleet hid most of its military information, the mission still collected a lot of important data. They collect every valuable data metric on the battlefield.
The five observers of the Bohai Fleet are all members of the Little White Army. As the captain of the Bohai Sea Observation Group, Bloody Dance Remnant Yang recorded the events on the battlefield of Tsushima on May 20:
May 20th. The ROK fleet has more than 1,800 combat ships of various types, nearly 10,000 transport ships, a naval force of about 400,000, and a force of about 1 million troops of the 6th Army. This was the first Korean army to go to the Japanese island of Tsushima.
On the way to Tsushima Island, our mission focused on collecting information on the food supply of the ROK fleet. Due to the severe shortage of food, the supply of each NPC soldier is only about 1 catty per day. The morale of NPC soldiers throughout the Korean fleet is low. The stamina is low, and there is a general lack of sufficient stamina to fight.
1 pound. It is equivalent to feeding 1 NPC soldier is equivalent to a slave soldier, there is no loyalty at all, physical strength and combat effectiveness are extremely poor, and they may escape without permission at any time, and they must be strongly oppressed to be on the battlefield. 2 catties is the standard for feeding an NPC farmer, with extremely poor physical strength and weak combat effectiveness. 3 catties is barely the standard of feeding a normal NPC soldier. Guaranteed loyalty, average physical strength, and a certain combat effectiveness.
Maintaining a supply of 6 catties/day can double the physical strength of NPC soldiers compared to normal conditions, and greatly increase the duration of the battle. The supply of 1 catty/day reduces the physical strength of NPC soldiers by half compared to normal, and the duration of the battle is greatly reduced. Eating 6 catties of food can kill three or four soldiers who eat 1 catty of food.
The standard of food supply during the operation of the Zhoushui fleet is 6 catties per day, and only in this way can the food supply ensure that the NPC soldiers who go to the battlefield have the highest loyalty, the highest physical strength, and the highest combat effectiveness.
Most of the more than 90% of the soldiers of the 6th Army of the South Korean fleet had only 1 or 2 catties of food. Such a legion composed of NPC slave soldiers, peasant soldiers, and inspector soldiers has no combat effectiveness to speak of. If you encounter an elite force, you are likely to be crushed with a single blow.
The best treatment is for South Korean Navy soldiers. It is generally possible to obtain 2 catties of food, and its combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than that of the 6th Army.
The only supply of the entire Korean fleet was 6 catties of food ground troops, which was the guards regiment of the main general Li Tianen, with about 10,000 troops. It is also the only unit that can be called the top elite in the entire South Korean fleet.
In addition, because the South Korean commander-in-chief Lee Tian-eun refused to provide our observation team with confidential information on the food supply of the South Korean fleet, there was no way to know how many days the South Korean fleet could fight, which was extremely large in number of NPCs.
Ten o'clock in the morning. The South Korean fleet stormed the port of Tsushima. Surprisingly, there was no strong resistance. Only a few thousand small Japanese fishing boats exist in the ports off the coast of Tsushima. In the slightest, it could not pose much threat to the South Korean fleet.
The Korean players captured some Japanese NPC captives, and soon found an extremely important information - there was not a single Japanese warship in the port of Tsushima, and before the arrival of the South Korean fleet, more than 900 Japanese ships on Tsushima Island had evacuated Tsushima Island in advance and disappeared.
Korean players were overjoyed, and it was widely believed that the Japanese had abandoned Tsushima and fled back to Kyushu in fear of their lack of troops. Although the Korean fleet did not destroy a single Japanese ship, it was also a great victory, a spiritual victory, which showed that the Japanese players had succumbed under the strong military power of South Korea.
The first battle was won, and the morale of Korean players soared. It took only two hours for the Korean fleet to destroy and capture all the Japanese fishing boats in all the ports, and to wipe out all the Japanese fishing boats that could move on the water; Lee Tianen ordered the South Korean 6th Army to officially land on 6 Tsushima Island, intending to take over all the walled fortifications on Tsushima Island.
But it was almost impossible to smoothly receive Tsushima, and the South Korean 6th Army was in big trouble. Because Japanese players left a large number of wooden fortifications, fences, horse rejections, arrow towers, wooden walled cities, stone castles on Tsushima Island, three steps and one post, densely packed, almost all over the mountains, many people wonder if Japanese players are all carpenter maniacs.
The most important thing is that there are still hundreds of thousands of NPC Japanese soldiers on Tsushima Island, who are still clinging to these wooden walls. These soldiers did not evacuate with the Japanese fleet. It may be because of the lack of time, or it may be that Suzuki Sanosuke wants to leave these NPC soldiers to defend Tsushima Island and prepare for a counteroffensive against the South Korean fleet in the future.
In a word. If the Japanese NPC6 Army on Tsushima Island is not completely eradicated, it will not be able to use it as a midway supply base for the Korean fleet to attack Japan's Kyushu Island. These NPC soldiers will cause great trouble for the Korean fleet.
The main general of the South Korean side, Lee Tian-eun, obviously did not want to leave a huge aftermath on the supply line of his fleet, and the various corps of the South Korean 6th Army began to carry out a comprehensive 6 landing from all places along the coast of Tsushima that could be boarded. to the whole of Tsushima according to the fortifications of the Japanese nbsp; The main weapons used by the two armies were stone tools, including stone spears, stone arrows, wooden shields, and so on.
Although it is now the Bronze Age. Both South Korea and Japan were able to create bronze weapons. However, due to the scarcity of copper mines, bronze weapons could not be popularized. Limited in bronze, it was also used in important aspects such as shipbuilding and agricultural production.
Even China's various power organizations will not be able to supply the bronze weapons needed by South Korea's million-strong army in the short term, and most of the South Korean troops still use stone tools, except for the elite troops.
The most popular weapon among Korean gamers is the bronze arrow made in China - long-range kill, which has high lethality and high durability. It can be used repeatedly and repeatedly, consumes very little bronze, is large in quantity, and is cheap, making it the most effective lethal weapon for Japanese NPC soldiers without leather armor protection - this series of advantages makes the bronze arrow the most popular weapon among Korean players.
The army in South Korea is divided into several levels.
Cannon Fodder Corps - Composed of NPC soldiers who supply 1 pound of food per day, mainly equipped with stone spears and wooden shields. Responsible for rushing and killing at the front, paving the road with corpses, without any medical supplies, and restoring blood value depends on natural recovery. Fight until you die. Approximately 70% of the 6th Army, or as many as 700,000 NPCs, are cannon fodder. Because the price of Korean soldiers is extremely low, cannon fodder soldiers are not valuable, and they are not distressed if they are lost.
Peasant Corps - Composed of NPC soldiers who supply 2 catties of food every day, and are equipped with the same equipment as the cannon fodder corps. The number of troops is about 200,000, but they are treated slightly better, when the HP is too low. will be pulled to the rear by Korean players. Avoid dying. There is a very small amount of medicine to be replenished.
The main corps is composed of NPC soldiers who supply 3 catties of food every day, and there are many types of troops. Equip them with war bows, bronze arrows, leather armor, animal skin shields, and more. With about 100,000 troops, it is the main force of the entire South Korean 6th Army, and there are a large number of medical supplies, and Korean players will try to avoid the death of the main army. This corps was mainly used to attack fortified positions and strike at the core of Japanese soldiers.
Navy Corps - 2 catties of food per day NPC soldiers are composed, and bronze archers are the mainstay. The naval corps is about 400,000. The treatment of the naval fleet in all aspects, food and equipment, is generally a grade higher than that of the 6th Army. However, they did not participate in 6 ground battles, but were only used in naval battles.
Elite Guards Regiment - Composed of NPC soldiers who supply 5 catties of food every day, they have the best war bows, crossbows, bronze blades, bronze armor suits, bronze shields, and leather armor suits. Bronze armor suits are an absolute luxury item in Korea. And using wine to increase the loyalty of NPC generals is unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary Korean players, because brewing requires a lot of food. This corps is about 10,000 people. Using the best South Korean equipment and equipment aided by China, it can be said that this 10,000 elite troops is more important than 1 million cannon fodder. This elite unit was directly commanded by Li Tianen and was used in the operations of the naval fleet and occasionally in the operations of the 6th Army.
The Chinese sold about 5,000 sets of bronze armor to South Korean players, and almost all of them were used for this elite guard unit, except for some of which were equipped by the Korean players' senior commanders.
In general, the South Korean fleet attaches much more importance to the Navy than to the 6th Army. This may be due to the need to fight against Japanese players. It is completely impossible to ensure the safety of South Korea's fishing grounds and ports from the Japanese fleet without a strong Korean navy.
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the 6th Army left behind by Japan on Tsushima Island were not much stronger than the 6th Army on the South Korean side. Whether it is food or weapons, it is not much worse, and the stone tools produced by Japanese players may be 1 point more lethal than those of South Korea, but this will not affect the overall battle situation.
Most importantly, the Japanese defenders of Tsushima were completely cut off from the outside world and had no access to any food supplies. The limited amount of food in the various wooden walls on the island will not last many days before it will be completely exhausted. Their only advantage was to rely on fortifications to hold on.
The military action of the South Korean commander-in-chief Lee Tian-eun was crisp and clean.
During the entire day on May 20, the Han * team paid the price of nearly 100,000 NPC cannon fodder corps. Successfully captured all important port bases on 6 of Tsushima. Wiped out about 60,000 or 70,000 Japanese defenders, and completely trapped the remaining Japanese NPC defenders on the island in the walled cities on various mountains on the island.
Just an offensive from the South Korean side at any cost. As can be seen from the fact that the Japanese side put hundreds of thousands of NPC troops behind on Tsushima Island, it can be seen that the Korean-Japanese War will be a completely meat grinding war, and a large number of surplus NPC soldiers will be consumed in the process to relieve the huge food pressure in the two countries. Until the grain pressure is relieved, there will be no major change in this pattern of extensive meat grinding warfare. Unless one of the sides loots enough food from its opponent or kills enough NPCs, the Korean-Japanese war will not be able to end. Food is currently the most fiercely contested strategic resource between South Korea and Japan, and the entire Korean-Japanese war will be carried out on this basis.
The Japanese 6th Army in the interior wanted to completely wipe out all the fortifications on Tsushima Island. It's too much trouble, and it's going to take too long.
The South Korean fleet could not afford to drag on and did not want to stall for time. God knows exactly how much food Korean players have to support this Korean-Japanese war.
After obtaining some important port bases on Tsushima Island, Li Tianen immediately began to use Tsushima Island as a springboard to hoard grain, grass and troops, and quickly commanded the fleet to march into Ikishima, the closest island to the Japanese mainland of Kyushu.
Iki Island is only 30 kilometers from the mainland of Kyushu, Japan, and can easily attack important places in Kyushu such as Fukuoka and Nagasaki.
So far, the Japanese fleet has not appeared in front of the Korean fleet.
However, this does not mean that Japanese players in Kyushu are vulnerable. Or avoid war. According to reliable military information obtained by the Korean Gamer Military Department, the Japanese Kyushu Alliance is urgently mobilizing the warships of the main island and the Japanese Gamer Forces to carry out a large-scale build-up at the Sasebo Military Port in Nagasaki. More than 1,200 ships have been assembled at the Nagasaki Military Port.
After Suzuki Sanosuke led more than 900 Japanese ships on Tsushima Island, he headed for Nagasaki. Once the two main fleets of the Japanese Kyushu land converged. The total number of ships in Japan's Kyushu Prefecture will be very objective, reaching more than 2,100 ships, which is more than 1,800 warships in Tsushima Island with the South Korean fleet led by Lee Tianen.
The South Korean fleet will face a difficult choice.
Is it to find the Japanese Kyushu fleet for a sea battle and decide on sea supremacy? Or is it better not to fight a naval battle with the Japanese fleet first, but to go directly to 6 Fukuoka in Kyushu first, and dispatch a large number of 6 armies to kill 6 in the Japanese mainland?
If you fight a naval battle first. Then a battle can be decided.
The Korean fleet was defeated. Then retreat to Busan and retreat to the mainland. After the Japanese fleet was ready. A large-scale invasion of South Korea. The situation of the Korean-Japanese war completely changed, with Japan attacking and Korea defending.
The Korean fleet won, so wave Fukuoka and land on the Japanese mainland. Since then, the 6 wars have been mainly carried out, and the 6 armies in Kyushu, Japan, have been eliminated. By the way, he occupied all the fishing grounds off the coast of Kyushu, Japan, and obtained a large amount of fishery resources for Korea. The situation of South Korea's attack and Japan's defense is still maintained.
If the 6th Army is sent to 6 Fukuoka first, then the two sides of the Sea 6 will fight at the same time. If the South Korean Navy is defeated, then the South Korean Army, which has already boarded the 6, will face the risk of being trapped in Kyushu, Japan.
In this way, the entire battlefield is extremely complex and changeable, and it will greatly test the war ability of the generals of both sides.
After recording in detail the activities of the ROK fleet on 20 May, the head of the observation team of the Bohai Fleet, the "Bloody Dance of the Sun," gathered together all the information that the remaining observers had learned, and prepared to report this information to the military headquarters and the general staff of the Zhoushui Alliance for the general staff to use to analyze the progress of the Korean-Japanese war.
Night.
Lee Tien Eun, the chief general of the ROK side, convened a pre-war military deployment meeting with more than 140 senior generals of the ROK Navy and the Sixth Army, and invited war observers from China and the DPRK to observe the meeting.
The main purpose of the meeting was to debate the question of whether to fight the naval battle first or to fight the 6th battle first. No matter which one is fought first, it will be a very difficult battle, and it will be related to the life and death of the South Korean fleet.
The Korean leaders quarreled fiercely.
The admirals advocated a naval battle first, so as not to trap the 6th Army in Japan and cause huge losses. The generals of the 6th Army advocated fighting the 6th World War first, opening up multiple battlefields, disrupting Japan's production and troop deployment on the entire island of Kyushu, and seizing grain on the Japanese mainland to feed the war.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Tianen also hesitated for a moment, but a strong idea made him make up his mind without hesitation, and officially ordered that before the Japanese fleet intercepted the South Korean fleet, the million-strong 6th Army forcibly landed in Fukuoka, Japan.
After the meeting, Bloody Dance Remnant Yang found Li Tianen and asked a question: "Why did you choose to be the first to board 6?" ”
Li Tianen didn't hide it, and said with a light smile: "I'm afraid this is the only chance for the Korean fleet to kill the Japanese mainland of Kyushu, if I miss it, it is likely that there will be no chance in the future." For this, it is also worth taking huge military risks. The Korean * team landed on the 6th Kyushu mainland in Japan, which has immeasurable symbolic significance and greatly boosts the morale of Korean players - this is a record that cannot be compared with any military victory! Even if the whole army is defeated, it is better than Buden 6. As long as my army reaches Kyushu, Japan, I will be the most influential first-rate general in the Korean game industry, regardless of whether I win or lose this war. If I hadn't landed in Kyushu for some tactical reasons, I would have been a second-rate general at best, and I wouldn't be worthy of being the supreme commander of the Korean fleet. ”
The Bloody Dance of the Remnant Sun recorded this sentence in the observation record of the Korea-Japan War as a basis for analyzing the character and strategic thinking of the Korean commander.
Li Tianen smiled and asked, "Blood Dance Remnant Sun, I heard that you are the confidant of Mr. Qin, the Great Leader of the Bohai Alliance?" To be able to become the captain of the observation mission, you should understand military affairs, right? What would you do if you were the Supreme Commander of the Korean Fleet? ”
Bloody Remnant Yang shook his head and said: "I am just an observer, and I am only responsible for recording the entire process of the Korea-Japan War, and I have no right to say anything about the war." ”
Li Tianen said: "Just think of it as a private suggestion, just talk about it." ”
"If it were me, I would transfer all the Korean fleets scattered all over the place, defeat the Japanese fleet in Kyushu, and then carry out the 6th from Fukuoka to Saga and Kumamoto." By your standards, I'm only a second-rate general. ”
Li Tianen laughed and said: "Haha, if I can have all the ships of Dahan, I will also choose to fight a naval battle first and deal with the fleet of Japan's Kyushu." It's a pity that only half of it, and the rest is still in the hands of those die-hard defenders. If it were the commander of your Bohai Fleet as the commander of this battle, what would he choose to do? ”
Blood Dance Remnant Yang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know." He muttered to himself, if I knew what the boss would do, then I would be the boss too.
Li Tianen sighed: "It's a pity that the Chinese fleet did not participate in this battle, otherwise this battle would have been able to see how outstanding China's war talents are." ”
Bloody Remnant Yang's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Any fleet along the coast of China is too far away from the main battlefield, more than a thousand miles, and the supply line is too long, so it is impossible to join the Korean-Japanese War in the short term." Unless the ROK can provide a military port base closer to the battlefield, such as the one on Jeju Island, and provide most of the food supplies, perhaps the Chinese fleet could consider participating in the Korean-Japanese War. ”
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Li Tianen replied, "My own logistical supplies are not enough, where is the surplus supply to the Chinese fleet!" ”
"Then there is no way, before the problem of long-distance transportation is solved, the Chinese fleet will not be able to cross the long Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea to enter the Korean-Japanese War and plan your military operations." At most, you can only help your army by sending military supplies. ”
