Penghu Island is only more than 20 miles deep in the east-west direction and north-south direction, and the terrain on the island is flat, with almost no ravines and hills with large drops, so there is basically no place on the island that can be defended according to danger. Back then, the Dutch resisted the Ming army here, and they only relied on the superiority of guns and weapons. Although Shibazhi inherited the stronghold fortifications left by the Dutch, he did not have the same level of weaponry as the Dutch, so Zheng Zhilong gave up his plan to use Penghu as the final battlefield for the final battle early on. Tong Guò's two encounters on Nanri Island last year, he already knew very well that the gap between his own strength and the Haihan militia could not be made up by relying on geographical advantages.

Qian Tiandun did not choose to stay at the headquarters today, but went to the front line to command. He doesn't like or is good at this kind of thing sitting in the rear, so it's better to leave it to Yan Chujie to control.

"It's really like when I was chasing South Vietnamese deserters in Annam. Qian Tiandun looked at the rows of captives tied up by long ropes, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

After the capture of Hue City, tens of thousands of South Vietnamese soldiers captured inside and outside the city were also bundled up in long strings and escorted to prisoner of war camps. However, at that time, the scale of the troops led by Qian Tiandun was far from being comparable to now, and Takahashi Nan was just an ordinary soldier under him, but now he has become the battalion commander of Qian Tiandun's ace unit because of his repeated military exploits.

"This battle is much easier than when Hue was fought at the beginning!" Gao Qiao Nan didn't have so many feelings, for him, it was actually a little disappointing to take Penghu so easily.

Before the start of the war, the General Staff estimated the difficulty of this battle because it would need to be carried out across the sea, and the opponent was not as defenseless at sea as the South Vietnamese had at the beginning. As a unit stationed in Fujian last year, the former Annan special operations battalion where Gao Qiao Nan belonged, that is, the current special operations battalion stationed in Fujian, will definitely be appointed as the unit to take the lead, so in the first few months of this year, Gao Qiaonan's unit conducted many amphibious Deng 6 training on Kinmen Island and nearby coastal areas, and made plans to deal with all kinds of possible situations.

The whole battalion was ready to fight a tough battle, but they didn't expect that when it was the turn of the 6th Army to appear, there was no drama to sing, and almost all the people who were stranded on the island and did not have time to evacuate were stragglers, and these people were obviously difficult to make waves in front of the special operations battalion armed to the teeth. Wherever the blades pointed, they broke down their defenses almost effortlessly. 8 Novels' Compared with the original fighting situation in Annam, the combat casualties of the remnants of the bandits on the island this time are also much lower, and there are no reports of casualties of the 6th Army so far.

Although low battle losses are a good thing, there is no hard battle to fight, which means that the 6th Army will not be able to make much success in this operation. Of course, when the military calculates the merits of the war afterwards, the generals of the 6th Army will definitely have to argue with the navy, if it were not for the navy being delayed by two waves of pirate ships, then the 6th Army would not have been unable to make oil and water after boarding the 6th.

Zheng Zhilong's evacuation plan was obviously carefully calculated, and he didn't leave much valuable things on the island, not even much food left. Gao Qiaonan's subordinates searched the two strongholds they had captured, but they didn't find anything valuable at all, and they were far less than what they had gained when they had cleaned up the Eighteen Zhi dens in the Pearl River Estuary area.

"It's a big loss!" Yan Chujie checked the seized materials counted by the logistics department in the temporary headquarters set up in Magong Port, and couldn't help but sigh: "The grain is less than 3,000 catties, more than 2,000 taels of silver, 20 small gold bars, 2 red corals, and more than 400 large and small pearls...... This is not enough to consume the troops transferred from Hainan! If it weren't for the pockets of some people here in Fujian, we would have lost our hometown after this battle!"

Wang Tom replied with a smile: "Xu Xinsu is quite knowledgeable, just now I asked Xu Jiaqi to inform him, and 50,000 catties of rice will be transported from Fujian to this side within three days, and there are also the construction craftsmen we need, and we have already gathered 800 people, and they will be sent over with grain and grass when the time comes." ”

"I remembered what you said, have the people from the Ministry of Construction arrived?" Yan Chujie asked: "It's easy to settle down the troops' accommodations, and it's good to use tents to overcome them in the near future, but the matter of renovating the port still has to be presided over by the people from the Ministry of Construction." ”

"The preliminary work is not very large, I went to the port in the morning, and the conditions can still be used, only a small part needs to be renovated. Tom Wang comforted: "I'll send a telegram to Kinmen Island later, and ask them to arrange for someone to come over." ”

Due to well-known reasons, the current temporary garrison of Haihan on Kinmen Island is not a long-term solution, and it is inconvenient for Haihan to carry out military training or material transportation, and the Fujian government is certainly not worried that this strong army will be stationed near the sea gateway under its rule for a long time. In the past, there was an external threat of Eighteen Zhi, and the garrison of Haihan was undoubtedly a protective umbrella, but after Eighteen Zhi was expelled from the Taiwan Strait, this umbrella may slowly change in the eyes of the Fujian government. `

In the pre-war agreement, the two sides had agreed to give Penghu to Haihan in the form of a concession after the reconquest of Penghu, and Haihan could set up a free trade port here and also station armed forces. For the Fujian government, at least the attitude of the Haihan people towards the Ming Dynasty has always been very "friendly", and they have spared no effort to support the war against the Eighteen Zhi in Fujian.

Having said that, the Dutch still have a stronghold on the island of Taiwan, and although the two sides have reached an armistice, the storage of Dayuan Port is still a threat to the Fujian coast. Penghu was located between Dayuangang and Fujian, and after the Haihan people settled here, it was certainly impossible for the Dutch to cross Penghu to take military action against Fujian. From this point of view, Haihan's occupation of Penghu is equivalent to stretching the original protective umbrella a little bigger.

At the end of May 2, the coalition forces captured more than 2,800 prisoners on Penghu Island, killing and wounding more than 400 others in the course of the battle. The Fujian sailors, who were in charge of cleaning up the nearby islands, also made small gains, capturing more than 300 prisoners. The coalition suffered only a few casualties in the process, and the few killed were all part of the Ming army, while the Haihan militia was lucky to have only a few wounded.

After a whole day's counting, the results of the coalition forces in the previous day's attack on Penghu Island were also preliminarily counted. In yesterday's two naval battles, the coalition fleet sank and damaged more than 60 enemy ships and captured more than 80 ships. Since a considerable number of the 18 Zhi personnel who died in the naval battle have sunk into the sea with the ship, the specific casualty figure is difficult to count, but from the rough estimate of the condition of the sunk and injured ships, the 18 Zhi lost at least 1,000 lives in the two naval battles yesterday. Of course, in exchange for the escape of the main force of Eighteen Zhi, the sacrifice of these people is actually cost-effective for Eighteen Zhi. If it weren't for these two fleets to slow down the progress of the trip, I am afraid that the people who would be blocked on Penghu Island would not be three or four thousand, but tens of thousands.

Although the effect of the final interception was not particularly satisfactory and did not fully achieve the strike effect planned before the war, if you look at the battle loss ratio, the coalition side has indeed taken a big advantage, and it has really dealt a certain blow to the strength of Eighteen Zhi. The two naval battles on the first day alone had already caused Shibazhi to lose more than fifty percent of the armed warships. At least in a short period of time, it will be difficult for the Eighteen Zhi to recover to the level of force they had in their heyday.

The following will be re-edited later
