Chapter 856: The Return of the King
As soon as dawn dawned, the island of Ryukyu was cloudy, thunder was rolling, and the sea breeze was howling, and it was not destined to be a good day, at least not in the weather. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tavern on Kume Island has been requisitioned as a temporary headquarters, and the tavern is heavily guarded, not only in the tavern, but also in the entire Kume Island.
The merchant ships led by King De had already docked at the port, and they received orders that no one should disembark without Zhang Long's order.
Several warships patrolled back and forth between the port of Naha and the two inland rivers on Ryukyu Island, and they were ordered to sink unknown ships as soon as they found them on the river, so as to make the Japanese soldiers in Shuri Castle lose contact with Toyoma Castle.
Zhang Long's eyes were blood-red, he stayed up all night, but his spirit was very excited, as if he had beaten chicken blood, after all, this was his first real command of the battle, although he was the first group of people to work with the god king Lu Wang, but the initial work was a construction site foreman, and then in Wenzhou to train sailors, it was only like a reserve, and there was no real war.
Who would have thought that his first battle would be overseas, and that the opponent was a notoriously fierce Japanese soldier, which made him both nervous and excited.
Although he has no experience, Zhang Long remembers the sentence of being careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, and he is steady and steady, step by step, and he can kill Huashan Jiushou a little bit, and he still has this self-confidence.
At the door of the tavern, Zhang Long held a cigarette, looked up at the cloudy sky, and muttered: "It's such a strong wind, could it be that a typhoon is coming."
"Very promising", Ye Tan appeared behind him, also blood-red, in the tavern lobby behind them, more than a dozen subordinates were busy, some were holding maps and drawing, and some were talking about something with walkie-talkies......
"Sir, the brothers of Toyoma City are ready, just waiting for your order" Cao Quan walked out of the tavern and gave a military salute to Zhang Long.
After the navy raided the sailors of Toyoma Castle last night, it did not land and clean, but left it to the follow-up large forces to do, and it was also after Zhang Long returned from Shuri Castle last night that he divided more than 300 troops to land in Toyoma Castle to wait, only because it was late and the terrain was unfamiliar, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, it was decided to start at dawn.
At this moment, the sky has already brightened, and the drone has taken off and hovered over Toyoma Castle to assist in the reconnaissance of the attack force.
"Do it!"
Zhang Long snorted coldly and flicked the cigarette butt in his hand: "Annihilation!" ”
"Sir, there is a situation in Shuri Castle, do you want to take a look?"
Just then, a group of fast horses came to the tavern, and a soldier jumped down and said hurriedly.
This is a reconnaissance base on the shore of Kume Island, and they are in charge of monitoring the movements of Shuri Castle on the other side with a drone, but they didn't expect that as soon as it was dark, the drone found an abnormality as soon as it took off.
The wind is strong, the drone flies very low, although the lens is a little shaky, but the clarity is very high, Zhang Long can clearly see the scene of Shuri Castle, the whole city is searching, and the Japanese soldiers are in Shuri Castle, searching and arresting people from house to house.
Shang Sheng's face was pale, but he was definitely not frozen by the sea breeze, at this moment he was not surprised at all why he could see the scene of Shuri Castle from the thing in Zhang Long's hand, but gasped and pointed to the corner of the screen: "That is the old man's mansion ......"
Zhang Long zoomed in the camera, and it can be seen that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been controlled by the Japanese soldiers, but nothing else has been seen.
"Don't worry, the prime minister, depending on the situation, he is just under surveillance and house arrest" Zhang Long glanced at it, and without waiting for Shang Sheng to speak, he immediately pulled the camera to the Shuri Castle Palace, where several gates of the palace were all closed and guarded by Japanese soldiers!
It seems that there are not many Japanese soldiers in Shuri Castle! Zhang Long said lightly, because in addition to those Japanese soldiers in the palace, there are also Japanese soldiers guarding several road crossings through Shuri Castle! This is the rhythm of martial law in the whole city.
"There are more than 300 people in the birch mountain long guard, plus others, and it is estimated that there are no less than 500 Japanese soldiers in Shuri Castle now," Shang Sheng said with a blushing face.
Zhang Long turned his head and glanced at him: "There are more than 500 people, I have 1,000 troops, and I will win two battles and one win."
Hey, Shang Sheng smiled bitterly: "If the general doesn't have those firearms to say such things, it will make people laugh!" ”
"Yes"
Zhang Long nodded without denying it, and then smiled slightly: "The problem is that I have firearms now, and the God King said that powerful firepower can crush everything!" ”
"Who the hell is this god-king?"
Shang Sheng asked with a frown, looking at the display screen in Zhang Long's hand with a puzzled face.
"The God-King is not a man, he is a god!" Zhang Long said solemnly, and Ye Tan beside him also nodded at the same time, with a pious face, Shang Sheng was even more confused.
Bang...... The sound of artillery in the distance came, Zhang Long's eyes were puzzled, and he picked up the telescope and looked to the east: "Why are you still firing cannons?" ”
"Sir, the warship assists the brothers on the shore to kill the thieves...... Ye Tan said as he put down the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Heh, that little bit of sins, can't I handle it after I sent three hundred people? The order goes down, stop the shelling, keep the ammunition, and let the soldiers who have been training for so long have to let them see the blood, and they can't rely on firearms all the time......"
Five minutes later
"Hey, why are you still firing?"
Zhang Long, who was observing Shuri Castle, raised his eyebrows, his face was displeased, he had just ordered to prohibit the warships on the water from firing to assist the marines of Toyoma Castle, but there was a rumbling sound again.
"Subordinate ask" Ye Tan picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to contact the person over there, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up at the sky in the west: "Long, long, sir......"
"!"
Zhang Long looked at it, stood up, looked at the sky with a look of disbelief, and Shang Sheng beside him was stunned and seemed to be completely stunned and pointed to the sky: "General, general, what kind of monster is that?" ”
In the open space of the abandoned North Fort on Kume Island, a helicopter landed slowly, and some people were already surrounded by the clearing, of course, not the local people, they didn't have the courage, they only dared to hide in the yard from afar and watch secretly, and they still had that frightened look, I couldn't understand how those Ming soldiers were so bold, and they surrounded them when they saw such a monster falling from the sky......
After the helicopter turned off, the hatch opened, and more than a dozen black-clothed men with loaded guns jumped down, and the soldiers of the combat unit of the Ming Army knew at a glance that this was the pro-guard army.
Zhang Long rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at the guards waving vigorously, he had already seen a familiar figure, Ma Han, the head of the pro-guard army actually came, needless to say......
Sure enough, the cockpit opened, and Lu Wang jumped down, first took a deep breath, then looked around, and smiled at Zhang Long who was rushing over: "I'm back!" ”
Ma Hansan? Ma Han behind him scratched his head, a little inexplicable, why did he change my name again.
"My subordinates have seen the prince!" Zhang Longxing rushed to the front and saluted Lu Wang with a standard military salute: "Lord, why are you here?" ”
Tavern, the temporary headquarters of the Ming Army.
Lu Wang sat in front of the square table, holding a cup of hot tea and drinking it slowly, silently, listening carefully to Zhang Long's detailed report on the situation here.
Shang Sheng sat by the window with a square waist upright, his eyes kept staring at Lu Wang, this young man who fell from the sky turned out to be the Great Ming God King that Zhang Long couldn't do without in three words, he could go down from the sky, and sure enough, the god man, but this god man didn't seem to have any interest in him, when he just landed, Zhang Long had introduced him, and he was respectful, but this little god king just nodded slightly, and didn't even say a polite word, Ma Dan, are the gods so dragged?
Lu Wang has been busy at the Daming Army Comprehensive Base in Anqing for a period of time, busy imparting all kinds of knowledge, such as making guns and artillery, such as helping military hospital training, helping the military discipline department reorganize and reorganize, and of course, there are various military affairs that he needs to deal with, such as what happened to Shenyang, such as what happened to North Korea, such as where the troops went south and where the troops from the east arrived.
But even if he is so busy, he still has something in his heart, that is, the Ryukyu Island in the East China Sea, if Zhang Long is only as an escort for Rwan, he is not worried, because in this era, although Zhang Long's naval navigation fleet is not the largest, it is definitely the most firepower.
But since he received the report that Zhang Long was going to take the Ryukyus, he was a little uneasy, these large troops who originally planned to let Huang Degong do it were easy to capture, but handed over to Zhang Long's escort team of only more than 1,000 people to do it, he couldn't help but worry.
First of all, there is a huge disparity in the number of troops, there are more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers in the Ryukyus, and Zhang Long only has more than 1,000 people, and secondly, there is a huge disparity in combat power, the Japanese soldiers are well-trained, experienced, and very fierce and cruel, and Zhang Long's men and horses are just reserves, not to mention that they are sailors, how can they defeat those experienced Japanese soldiers in land conquest.
Of course, Zhang Long also has his own advantages, that is, the 300 guns that Lu Wang gave him, as well as the artillery on the warship, the advantage of equipment, and the strength of firepower Although the disparity can be narrowed, the complete zero battlefield experience still makes Lu Wang restless.
So he decided to come in person, and took a big risk to take off in the early morning at the Wenzhou Naval Base, in case something happened to the sea in the dark and windy night, he was fine, but the guards who followed him were not easy to say.
But he couldn't wait any longer, because the radio reported that Zhang Long had already fought with the Japanese army!
Zhang Long was very moved, it turned out that the little god king cared so much about himself, but he still patted his chest to express his confidence.
"The subordinates have taken the port of Naha, defeated their sailors' barracks, and blocked the east and west waters of Shuri Castle, and the next thing is to track the traces of Kayama Hisamoru and kill him, and this battle is invincible......" Zhang Long confidently told Lu Wang his plan.
Rwann smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Long observed his words and looks, felt that something was wrong, and asked very suspiciously: "Lord Wang, is there a flaw in the plan of his subordinates?" ”
Putting down the teacup, Lu Wan gently knocked on the table: "Inexperience is a hard injury"
said and pointed to the ground on the table: "First of all, you have to make it clear that this station is a war of annihilation rather than a defeat war, not to mention that you just say that you are only invincible, to put it bluntly, we just let the dogs do it all, instead of playing Tai Chi with him here, you fight for me."
"Lord Wang, this subordinate understands......"
Zhang Long was about to defend himself when he was interrupted by Lu Wang
"Do you understand p, since it is an encirclement, what about your encirclement, the front is in a good position, but what about the rear?" Lu Wang said and pointed to the map, "There is not a single soldier planted in the back, people can fight if they want to, but if they can't beat it, they can run away at any time, how can you encircle and annihilate?" ”
Forehead...... Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, staring at the map with a stunned expression, and Ye Tan next to him had the same expression.
Lu Wang smiled and did not blame, after all, these two are trained in the army, the other is engaged in intelligence, and they are completely rookies to march and fight, and they are not even qualified to talk about troops on paper.
"Immediately send five warships north from the coastline to blockade the ports of Okinawa Island in the north, especially Yuntian Port, which is the main port for Japanese soldiers to enter and leave the Ryukyus and the Japanese mainland, and blockade the sea. Lu Wan smiled lightly.
"Subordinate, subordinate stupid, I didn't expect this!" Zhang Long patted his head and said very embarrassedly.
"It's not that you're stupid, it's that you're inexperienced"
Lu Wang smiled faintly, and then knocked on the table again: "If this loophole is caused by your inexperience, but your battle plan is really not worth mentioning, I will only laugh when I put it here, if it is spread to other combat units, they will laugh at you and say that you are cowardly!" ”
"Cowardice?"
Zhang Long was puzzled, and the prince: "The plan of the subordinates is step by step, steady and steady......"
"It's because you're steady and steady that you say you're cowardly"
Lu Wang interrupted him, and said with a smile, The sailor camp of Toshima City is only more than 300 people, and now it has been uprooted by you, and Shuri City is no more than 500 people at most, but you don't immediately send troops to attack, and you still think about capturing the thief and capturing the king, if you don't coax it, it will be ridiculous.
"But if you capture the thief and capture the king first, you can make the war twice as effective with half the effort......" Zhang Long was a little unconvinced.
"If the strength is equal, the strength is comparable, this plan is still advisable, but you are now twice the opponent's strength, and the firepower is completely overwhelming, if you don't attack quickly at the moment, just thinking about capturing the thief and capturing the king, you don't worry about the fleeting opportunity, then the birch mountain Jiushou took advantage of this time to transfer the northern troops to hold Shuri Castle, with your strength, with your combat power, more than a thousand rookies against two thousand fierce battlefield veterans, can you take it? Do you gnaw it off? Or are you going to fight a protracted war here and wear out the Japanese army? ”
Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, and even said that his mood was unusually low, and his originally complacent battle plan was full of loopholes in front of Lu Wang, which was too shocking.
"So, what does the prince mean?" Zhang Long let out a long breath.
"Immediately send warships to blockade the northern coastline and cut off their connection with the Japanese mainland, and immediately mobilize troops to attack Shuri Castle, and force a landing," Lu Wan immediately ordered.
"Lord Wang, forcibly attack, I'm afraid to implicate innocent ......"
Zhang Long couldn't help but glance at Shang Sheng by the window as he spoke, and sure enough, the old man looked concerned.
"This is not the Ming Dynasty" Lu Wang sneered, and also glanced at Shang Sheng, the old man's face suddenly turned pale, everyone can understand this, what if the innocent are implicated, it is not the people of the Ming Dynasty who die, this god king has a black heart.
"Yes, the subordinates will prepare immediately" Zhang Long got up and was about to leave.
Lu Wang beckoned him to sit down: "I will command this battle, you just have to watch and listen, remember, no matter who you fight with, remember one thing: think big, start small, for example, now, trap Birch Mountain for a long time in the Ryukyus, and you can ......start as you want to chop and stew as you want" (to be continued.) )
