"General, the fog has cleared, the target ahead is clear, according to the plan, in three hours it will be ten miles north of the target port, where we are scheduled to land. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 A burst of footsteps accompanied by an excited soldier's face appeared at the entrance of the lookout, respectfully and slightly nervous, and at a glance he knew that he was a recruit who had just joined the army. The oil-soaked leather armor still seemed to have a hint of oil, and the belt around his waist knew that it was too tight, and it would be uncomfortable to do so for a long time, but he didn't intend to remind the other party that only after going through this would the new soldier gradually become a veteran.

I don't know if it's a psychological feeling or if it's really like this, the arrogant officer always feels that the sea climate becomes a little cold when he enters the autumn, but this is not enough for a battle-hardened soldier at all. The officer's eyes were level, and he didn't even want to glance down from the corner of his eye, his eyes were like torches, just staring straight ahead.

"Got it, order the front guerrilla boats to keep their distance, pay attention to the signal on the island, and signal the rear troop carriers to speed up and keep up, and not to get too far away. A word squeezed out between his teeth, but the officer could still feel some of his calves and stomach swell a little from excitement.

"Understood, General!" the soldier's reply was crisp and powerful.

"Pass my orders, speed up the boat, get off the second sail, pay attention to the changes in the currents, don't trust the charts too much, some reefs are not completely marked by the charts, and pay close attention to the changes in the signals of the guerrilla boats ahead. With a slight sigh, he casually took off the slightly heavy sharp waist knife and handed it to the deputy general behind him, "Iwasaki-kun, the Tang people don't seem to have any preparations, I think that according to our current speed, we can let the troop carrier land in about two hours." After completing the landing, we can concentrate our forces to storm Gaolong, according to the intelligence, the Tang River Navy in Gaolong Harbor only retains five insignificant patrol boats and two medium-sized warships, we only need one large warship to completely sink them!"

"Nongzhongjun, your opinion is right, the attention of the people of Tanghe has been focused on the continental war in the south, their naval army is serving the land war, I heard that they have suffered a lot of losses in the recent civil war, which is really beneficial to us and people. By taking the port of Gaolong, we have a solid foundation in the middle of the Great Eastern Ocean, and no one can take it from us anymore. "The guy called Iwasaki-kun is dark and thin, with light eyebrows and withered eyes, but his eyes are unusually sharp, like razors.

"Hmph, Iwasaki-kun should not be too arrogant, before leaving, the lord ordered us to take the army as the mainstay, cooperate with them to completely occupy the treasure island, control it completely, and not go beyond the plan without authorization, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the second wave of operations. Although the square-faced Nong Zhongjun was warning his deputy, the tone of his words was undoubtedly indicating that the treasure island was already under his control, which was beyond doubt, but to ensure the next plan, it was necessary to be cautious and prudent.

The waves gently lapped the side of the ship, but the entire huge fleet did not make a sound, silently pressing towards the rocky rocks and reefs of the island that had gradually revealed their outlines. As far as the eye can see, the rugged shore cliffs are dark and indistinct, and as the fleet approaches, the island is so green that it is impossible to see the edge. The two landing sites were on the east and west sides of the island, but the most important landing point was the snake headland near Gaolong Port, from which you can easily insert inland along the edge of the shore cliff and thus go around the back of Gaolong Port.

Countless sharp, curved hooks were raised high in the hands of the soldiers, and heavy iron anchors were suspended from the stern of the ship, waiting to be anchored when they came to a stop. The landing pads with the pulleys had also been pushed out, sticking out parallel to the side of the ship, just waiting for that last minute to arrive.

With a violent shaking and "creaking" sound, countless hooks accurately hooked the jagged rocks and reefs at the same time, and as the officers' low and powerful orders sounded briefly, the vigorous figures of the soldiers swarmed up with the landing board, and the "crackling" footsteps turned silent the moment they jumped off the landing board, and a column of soldiers streamed out of the cabin in the troop carrier, and moved out in a neat queue in turn.

On the islands and reefs on the shore, there were already guides and intelligence officers in Tang civilian costumes waiting, like countless trickles, speeding through the shore and climbing upwards. Countless large ships docked one after another, and the same procedure was repeated again and again, and the flow of troops merged into the cluster of soldiers who had already been assembled ashore, and continued to increase and expand.

"General, the departments are already in the process of landing as planned, and it is estimated that in half an hour, the landing will be completed. "The orderly sent in the information again.

"Very good, you wish General Yamada a smooth journey on my behalf, and we will see you in Gaolong Port. All units were ordered to prepare for setting sail offshore, and when the mission with troop carriers was over, we immediately headed for the target. The general, who was called Nongzhongjun, waved his hand proudly, signaling his subordinates to start preparing for the shore, and as soon as the troop transport ships completed their transportation tasks, the fleet would no longer need to be on guard and escort, and he would devote himself to the next task, which was to destroy the insignificant small fleet of the Tang River in Gaolong Harbor.

On September 1, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, after the reorganization, the first naval fleet of the Great Oriental Ocean of the Japanese was dispatched, and twelve large and medium-sized warships and more than 30 small warships and guerrilla boats raided Gaolong Port on the treasure island, and the seven warships of the Tang River Empire stationed in Gaolong Port were sunk except for two small patrol boats, and the remaining two medium-sized warships and three patrol boats were unexpectedly defenseless and were captured by the Japanese naval army in one fell swoop. The 12,000 landed Japanese army immediately surrounded Gaolong Harbor, and after half a day of fighting, the Baodao garrison, which was stationed in less than one wing, was completely annihilated. On September 4, all the islands fell.

At the same time, the Japanese also launched an all-out attack on two other fronts in the Great Eastern Ocean. On 1 September, a detachment of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy escorted 10 troop carriers to land on the Ryukyu Islands, and two days later, the Ryukyu Islands fell. On 2 September, the main force of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy occupied the largest port on Kamchatka without any resistance, and the escorted 22 troop carriers forcibly landed in Kamchatka Harbor, and the 7,000 Japanese army occupied the entire Kamchatka Island after three days.

On September 7 of the Gregorian calendar on the mainland, the first and second naval fleets of the Japanese people formed a joint fleet to ambush the second and third naval fleets of the Tang River Empire, which were undergoing reorganization exercises, off the coast of Yuhangfu. The Third Navy fleet was devastated in history, and almost all of the elite were killed in this battle, and the remaining ships could only flee back to Yuhang Military Port, never to leave the port again.

At this point, except for some islands in the eastern ocean of the Tang River Empire, all the important islands in the outer island chain were occupied by the Japanese people, and only the Northern Pearl Islands of the Kingdom of Milan were still under the control of the Empire's First Naval Fleet.

Almost at the same time, the Battle of Songjiang, which decided the fate of Jiangnan, finally broke out. On September 3, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Situ Tai concentrated all the forces of the Second Army in his hands plus a division of the Twelfth Army to attack the whole territory of Songjiang, and the Third Corps of Milan, which had entered the territory of Songjiang, had also built a solid defense line with the Seventh Army and the remnants of the Tenth Army Corps that retreated to Songjiang relying on Songjiang Fucheng, and the two sides launched a life-and-death battle that decided the fate of both sides in the plain area fifty miles north of Songjiang Fucheng.

Situ Tai invested more than 130,000 elite troops, while Milan and Jiangnan coalition forces invested a total of 220,000 troops, the two sides continued to fight in the area of Chongming Town, although the coalition forces occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, but the morale of the 70th and 10th Army Corps was low, and the Milanese people because they had just entered Jiangnan, they were not very adaptable to the local environment, although after a brutal bloody battle, the battle situation was still in a stalemate, and a large amount of consumption made both sides feel exhausted.

Unable to break the stalemate, Situ Tai and the commander of Milan commanding the coalition forces both had the intention of calling off the battle, but the turning point happened when both sides felt that they could not hold on, and on September 9, the 2nd Division of the 12th Army Corps (formerly the 2nd Reading Division of the Northern Military Region) under the leadership of division commander Tong Lihui inserted into the eastern part of Songjiang from the territory of Weiyang, defeated the positions of two divisions of the 10th Corps and a garrison division responsible for the eastern interception, and broke through the eastern defense line and penetrated directly into the waist of the coalition army. On September 11, the Second Army of the Twelfth Army Corps, which had been marching rapidly, launched an attack from west to east, and the exhausted western cluster of the coalition army was composed of two divisions of the Seventh Army Corps. The collapse of the Western Front directly spread to the Eastern Front, and the 2nd Division of the 12th Army Corps took advantage of the situation to penetrate eastward, and the allied defense line was routed on all fronts.

On September 13, the morale-boosting Situ Tai army once again defeated the coalition army that was trying to stabilize its position, and the coalition army was defeated and unable to return to the sky, so it was forced to retreat with the whole army, triggering a large-scale surrender of the Jiangnan army. On September 14, Situ Tai's army captured the city of Songjiang, which had been abandoned by the coalition forces. On September 16, the remnants of the coalition army all retreated into the territory of Quanzhou, Situ Tai's army after occupying the whole territory of Songjiang was also due to the exhaustion of the army, in the border area between Songjiang and Quanzhou, encountered the counterattack of the Milan army, suffered heavy losses, had to give up the plan to continue to advance, the troops rested, and the Songjiang battle ended. Prior to this, the 3rd Division of the 12th Army Corps of Situ Tai also continued to advance westward after occupying Weiyang, and occupied the city of Gusu on September 11.

At this point, the overall situation of Jiangnan has been decided, and the trend of secession has been achieved.
