By noon, the Haihan militia had destroyed five forts on the way forward, killed 71 bandits, captured more than 200 people, and seized a number of weapons of various kinds. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although the results were good, from morning to noon, the Haihan Army only advanced seven or eight miles inland from the camp at the landing site, and the speed was not ideal.

As Eighteen Zhi had designed, the numerous forts they had built on the island had effectively slowed down the advance of the Haihan militia. In this era, there were no such weapons as tanks, and when encountering a fortress, they could only stop and set up positions to use artillery tactics, and a company often had to stop and carry out operations after marching two or three miles, and during the process, it had to guard against uninvited guests who suddenly came out of other nearby strongholds.

For the Haihan militia, the operation of attacking these strongholds is not too difficult, but it is not careless at all. In the morning, when a company was attacking a certain stronghold, it was almost cut back by bandits who were ambushed in the nearby mountains and forests. Although the officer in command of the company adjusted the formation in time after discovering the abnormality, and the reinforcements arrived in time, successfully repelling hundreds of bandits who had covered up from the rear, they still suffered four dead and eleven wounded, which was the most serious and concentrated loss of personnel since the start of the battle at Miyakojima.

Yu Tiezhu's luck was quite good, and he also commanded a siege outside the fortress that morning. It took more than half an hour for the artillery to clear a frontal passage, and after the Haihan army entered it, they found that there were still people resisting in the two courtyards behind it, and there was no sign of surrender. So Yu Tiezhu commanded the artillery to clamp the artillery outside the gate of this courtyard, and continued to bombard the second courtyard inside.

By the time they entered the courtyard in this way, it was already noon, and when the soldiers counted the prisoners after attacking it, they found that it was Hong Xu, one of the leaders of the Eighteen Zhi, who was commanding the battle in this stronghold. This person is a native of Tong'an, Fujian, in the original history is a fierce general under Zheng Zhilong, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he put into Zheng Chenggong's service, and later the official at least Fu and the prince and the prince of the army officer Zhong Zhenhou, until the Kangxi period did not die of illness.

However, in this time and space, Hong Xu has no chance to become an important minister in the Ming and Zheng periods, and it is difficult to say whether he can even leave Miyakojima alive. In the battle just now, he was hit by a stray bullet under his right shoulder, which may have injured his lungs from the position, and his mouth was covered with blood and he was unable to speak. With the current medical conditions on the island, he may not be able to save his life.

"Send him to the camp on a flatbed truck as soon as possible!" After Yu Tiezhu confirmed Hong Xu's identity from the captive, he immediately ordered him to be sent to the camp for treatment. Regardless of whether Hong Xu's life can be saved in the end, this battle exploit is really recorded on his iron pillar. Among the surviving leaders of the Eighteen Zhi, there are only a few people who retreat to Miyako Island with Zheng Zhilong, as long as any one of them has military merits, Yu Tiezhu will naturally not let go of such an opportunity. He only hoped that Hong Xu would be able to survive and be sent to the camp to verify his identity, if he died on the way, it would be a trouble to re-verify his identity.

However, at this time, the front-line command was not very satisfied with the current speed of advancement, and it only took half a day to advance a few miles, and if it continued like this, it would only take half a month to clean up the entire Miyako Island. Although the ammunition and supplies prepared by the military this time were sufficient, the planned operation was not intended to be delayed for so long. At the beginning, it was only two or three days to fight Penghu, and the Military Commission and the General Staff Department were full of calculations, at most they could leave Miyakojima a week of combat time, and if the action was too slow, even if they could successfully win the Eighteen Zhiyu Party here, their combat achievements would be discounted because of this.

After Wang Tom and the navy summed up, it was decided that some naval soldiers should be sent to participate in the land battle, in order to be able to clear these scattered fortress strongholds on the island as soon as possible. As for the artillery units responsible for storming the fortifications, it was necessary to make a more detailed split, so that the troops attacking the fortress could blossom more. In addition, Tom Wang decided to put the secret weapon to use in advance, which was the Flying Thunder Cannon, which uses the principle of projectile to fire explosive packets.

This kind of flying thunder cannon is an earthen mortar invented in the liberation war years in the time and space before traveling, using gasoline barrels as a projectile, putting a bundle of explosives bundled into a disc shape, and using gunpowder to detonate one or two hundred meters away, at that time there was a very famous name called "no conscience cannon". This cannon is actually very similar to the mortars that have appeared in this era, except that the shells of the mortars do not explode.

The reason why the Haihan Army began to build this weapon is that, on the one hand, because the progress of forging technology has made it possible to start mass production of various types of iron barrels, and the output of gunpowder has also been able to meet the needs of the army's operations, on the other hand, the army has also found various inconveniences in the transportation, deployment, and use of traditional artillery in actual combat, and urgently needs a simple artillery that can be used immediately by ordinary soldiers through short-term training without professional artillery operation.

Although this cannon has a limited range and cannot be compared with regular artillery, it is easy to deploy, simple to operate, and its power is really not small. Fortresses like Miyakojima's are scattered all over the place, but it is very suitable for attacking fortifications with flying thunder cannons. Among the equipment brought to Miyakojima this time were 20 newly built Flying Thunder Cannons, and King Tom decisively ordered that these cannons be distributed to each company at once and put into use in battle as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of the same day, two flying thunder cannons were loaded on a flatbed truck and sent to Yu Tiezhu's company. The barrel of this cannon is ten times lighter than that of traditional iron cannons, and the shells are disc-shaped packets of gunpowder and explosives, which are easier and faster to load and transport than traditional iron cannons.

Yu Tiezhu had also received relevant training in the use of Sanya, and he was no stranger to the use of the flying thunder cannon, so he immediately ordered someone to dig a pit 100 meters away from the next target and set up the flying thunder cannon. This weapon only needs to bury the bottom of the barrel in the pit according to the target distance and adjust the firing angle.

Yu Tiezhu personally checked the position and angle of the two flying thunder cannons before ordering someone to load the gunpowder pack. There is a layer of wood between the powder pack and the explosive pack, so that the explosive bag above the board can be ejected with great thrust when fired, and the detonation time adjusts the fuse length according to the approximate flight distance so that the explosive bag detonates close to the ground.
