The boats of the marines and the Japanese are fundamentally two different things, and the flat-bottomed boats are made of the finest pine. The tung oil is thickly brushed, and four slurry sheets protrude from each side of the bottom for paddling.

The front baffle completely covers the Marines' bodies, and the baffle is made of steel plates, ceramic and rubber. At a distance of fifty meters, it can easily withstand the fire of an old breech gun. Dealing with artillery fragments, even more.

In front of the aft rudder was a mortar, which provided fire support to the landing force.

Li Dingguo sent an advance company and rushed to the coast in ten small boats. The squad leaders kept shouting loudly and commanding the soldiers to paddle in unison.

The dinghy shook and washed up on the smooth sand by inertia and ran aground on the beachhead. The Marines immediately grabbed their weapons and turned on their side, jumping into the sea from the sides of the ship. Running quickly through knee-deep waters. Running to a dry place on the beach, one of them quickly shoots and shoots at all suspicious targets in the jungle.

Mortars also fired, and although there was no one in the jungle on the shore, shells were used to bombard every suspicious place. Inside the jungle people began to return fire, bullets grazing the soldiers' steel helmets and striking the front fender of the dinghy.

The quiet beach suddenly came alive with the sound of gunfire like popping beans.

The Marines worked in groups of three, one shooting, and the other two crawled forward. The three men alternated and shot specifically at the place where there was a muzzle flame.

Mortar gunners are also veterans, and they quickly look at the gun, and if they spot a muzzle flame, they will shoot past. Normally, after the explosions and smoke, no one shoots there anymore.

The first echelon vanguard company took only 20 minutes and advanced more than 300 meters. Coming directly to the edge of the jungle, the soldiers did not rush to attack. Instead, carefully observe everything around you, and search suspicious places with bullets before moving on.

Soon the second echelon, the third echelon ......! In just an hour and 10 minutes, Li Dingguo's Marine Corps occupied an open landing ground. There were no bullets coming out of the jungle, and no shells were coming out. Only occasionally a spearhead stepped on a mine!

Landmines were the weapon that caused the most casualties to the Marine Corps, and seven soldiers had already stepped on them. A whole formed squad has lost its combat effectiveness!

The wounded soldiers waited on the beach for treatment, and the howls and wails were heartbreaking to hear.

"Dispose of it!" After seeing the wounds of the wounded soldiers, Li Dingguo reluctantly ordered.

No one wanted their brother to die, but his whole leg was blown up. They will only suffer more if they live, and then they will drag on for a few days to die a more painful death than they already have. The soldiers shouted tears and shot the wounded in the head.

"Send a signal, tell the second master, we have successfully landed and are advancing in depth." Li Dingguo gave an order and rushed forward with the guards. Behind him, red fireworks are lit into the air, exploding red fireworks in the sky.

"Second master! Li Dingguo's side has already landed successfully. Chen Laohu pointed to the red fireworks in the distance and was very excited.

"Second master, the second regiment has also landed successfully." Red fireworks soon exploded on the west side as well.

Zuo Liangyu's resistance was much weaker than Li's, as only one soldier was bitten by a poisonous snake while crawling into the jungle. After bloodletting and bandaging, the wound is swollen but should be fine. When the fleet was in Jiangang, King Jiaozhi Ruan sent people to send a lot of snake medicine, which came in handy at this time.

I don't know where the troops defending here have gone, they evacuated in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to plant mines and ran away.

So much so that Zuo Liangyu, who landed successfully without bloodshed, searched cautiously for a long time before daring to send a signal of successful landing.

"Good! I'd like to see who the jungle is. Ordered the Japanese to advance forward in half an hour. ”

"No!"

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Marine Corps are like two outstretched arms. The frontal Japanese attract the enemy's attention, and the first and second regiments are the fatal blows.

Li Xiu played well, but unfortunately the opponent was not fooled. After a busy day, until the evening teacher. No trace of the enemy was found, but the Japanese people stepped on the mines and suffered dozens of casualties.

"Holy shit!" Li Xiu stared at the jungle that was getting dark, and scolded his mother in his heart. I'm facing a cunning opponent, who the hell is it? He has the same weapon as himself, and he is so cunning.

If he hadn't resolutely ordered the rocket artillery to fire during the day, I am afraid that he would have retreated to the open sea to lick his wounds by this time.

Again, in Temasek City, deep in the jungle. Wu Sangui and Yu Yi were also scratching their heads and looking at the map!

In fact, the so-called Temasek City is actually a building around the pier. After a short rest here, the cargo ships of the Ming Dynasty and Western countries continued to the place of the Ming or the Arabs of the Middle East.

Temasek, a port-fed city. After ten miles into the jungle, it is completely the territory of the natives.

Wu Sangui and Yu Yi came here three months ago, and the first thing they did when they came here was to kill all the Daming maritime merchants. Make sure the news here doesn't go out to outsiders!

"Li Xiu of the dog day, no wonder Li Xiao dared to let him out. It's really tough! "Because they came early, they have a complete map here.

For three months, they have worked hard to build a solid defensive formation around Temasek Port. The first step was to induce the Ming army to attack, and then kill and wound with artillery and infantry fire. When the enemy ships approached the coast, rockets were fired. Send the enemy directly into the sea to feed the fish!

The abacus played well, but unfortunately in the end it was a bad move. Wu Sangui had just given the order to release rockets, and the herald was still on the way, when he was shocked to death by a huge explosion.

On the side of the Ming army, they preemptively fired rockets.

"According to the news from Jiaozhi, Li Xiu's fleet has no less than 100 large and small ships. And there are three invincible ironclad ships, we are not opponents. It's better to take advantage of the fact that Li Xiu hasn't come over yet, and it's better for us to flee back to India. "After experiencing the daytime battle, I don't have the slightest confidence in winning the Ming army.

Since he set sail for the Far East in Rotterdam, he does not seem to have defeated the Ming army. Especially the Ming army led by Li Xiao, he often fought so that he couldn't find the north. Just glanced at the banner of the Ming army, and prepared his bags.

Wu Sangui glanced at this comrade-in-arms, this guy had been scared by the Ming army. But it's also true, Li Xiao's name as the god of war is really not blown out. From the shrimp soldiers and crab generals on Phi Island, to such a behemoth today, it has really been fought one battle after another.

But Wu Sangui was not convinced!

In the past, Li Xiao relied on sharp weapons to win, all kinds of cannons, and all kinds of whimsical ideas. It can be said that Li Xiao's victory relied on sharp firearms. Now that the firearms under his command are not bad, Wu Sangui feels that he has the ability to fight with Li Xiu. At least, he can also gnaw a piece of Li Xiu's meat.

Unexpectedly, today, the rocket launcher that was prepared by ****** was sent directly into the sky by a huge explosion. Ships were wrecked, most of the soldiers were killed, and mortars and pipe guns were captured. In just one day, all the efforts of the past three months were scrapped. The team, which had worked hard for a year, was also beaten to pieces, and less than half of the people who withdrew.

"Even if you want to leave, you have to leave some thoughts for Li Xiu. Otherwise, you think it's safe to run to India? If he can come to Temasek with the fleet, he can take the fleet to Mumbai.

What do you do when you get to Mumbai? To the Middle East, or to Europe? Don't forget, the Dutch East India Company had a strong presence in the Middle East. As for Europe, the Dutch king already hates you to the bone. I don't guarantee that the King of England will offend the whole of Holland for you alone. Wu Sangui looked at the panicked Yan Yi viciously.

"What are you going to do? We have only half the strength of the previous force, and we have lost almost all our heavy weapons and have no fortifications to rely on. How do we win this battle? "To be clear, although the Dutch have declined in force. But the Dutch are still among the best in Europe in terms of banking. If you control the banks, you control finance, and the king of England will not easily offend the Dutch. If you return to Europe, the most likely outcome is to be extradited back to the Netherlands. Back in the Netherlands, the only fate for him was to be guillotined.

"Don't forget, the jungle belongs to the natives. When you gave the captured things of the Daming Maritime Merchants to the leaders of the natives, do you think they were given to them for nothing? Find them and tell them. Kill a Ming soldier and I'll give them a gold coin, or their favorite musket.

After sunrise tomorrow, as long as you hold the head, you can exchange things with us. Wu Sangui looked at the dark jungle and said gloomily.

"You want a night raid by the natives?"

"Yes, I just want the natives to attack at night. The natives have lived in the jungle all their lives, and they are familiar with every plant and tree here. Li Xiu's soldiers are well-trained and advanced. They are also outsiders!

There is no moon tonight, so it should be a good weather for a night attack. Wu Sangui reached out and slapped it on the neck and killed a big mosquito.

"Alright! May you succeed. However, it doesn't matter if you will succeed or not. I will retreat, and if tomorrow the Ming army discovers our hidden ship, then we will not be able to escape. He was reluctant to fall into the hands of the Dutch, and he also did not want to fall into the hands of the Ming people.

He didn't forget that he helped Huang Taiji develop firearms at the beginning, which brought a lot of trouble to Li Xiao. Even in the Battle of Montenegro, he almost defeated Li Xiao's Liao army.

"You go and prepare the boat, and I'll do the rest. If you dare to go first, I guarantee you won't be able to go back to Mumbai. Wu Sangui viciously warned Kuiyi, left himself and ran back to Mumbai, Kuiyi felt that he had done such a thing.

"Wu! Rest assured, I know who I rely on in India. He lowered his head and replied to Wu Sangui, and left in a hurry.

"Dog mongrel!" Wu Sangui knew from the action of Yu Yi that he had really thought about it just now.

waved to his personal entourage: "Follow this bastard, as long as he wants to go first, kill him!" ”

"No!" After fulfilling his lifelong promise, more than a dozen big men disappeared in the dark.

Spending the night in the jungle is simply a mental torture. Countless mosquitoes and unknown insects crawled out from all corners, leaving one mark after another on people's bodies.

If you are bitten by various insects, your body will be very itchy. The curses of the soldiers were accompanied by the tickling of "Zla" one after another!

At this time, the Ming army was much better than the Japanese people! The Japanese people are wearing bamboo armor with an inner lining. In this sweltering weather, many people took off their bamboo armor and linings and wore shirtless.

Although the Ming army was also hot, the Ming army wore high-waisted military boots. The trouser legs and cuffs, waist, and neckline are all tightly tied with rope. Not only that, but the Ming army also had leggings on his legs.

They were so hot that they were sweaty, but they were rarely bitten by mosquitoes. Of course, something called Rokami Flower Water also showed miraculous results. As long as a bottle of toilet water is sprinkled on the body, mosquitoes will not dare to approach.

The soldiers were holding their guns and sleeping carefully in the jungle. In fact, now they all want to go back to the ship, and it is better to be crammed into the cabin than to suffer here. Listening to the commotion on the side of the Japanese people, the Ming army couldn't sleep even more.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes were glued to these uninvited guests.

The natives of the mountains were painted with the branches and leaves of the trees, and they were naked, with only sackcloth around their waists. Maybe it's because of the branches and leaves of those plants, and the mosquitoes don't seem to bite them.

Swarthy skin is the best cover in the darkness of the night.

Barefoot, they quietly approached the outsider, who had been tossing and turning all night. Dawn is coming, and it's the darkest time of the day. The soldiers, who had been tired all day, finally could not resist the exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

The first of the natives slowly lifted the blowpipe behind the bushes.

"Shhh Yaga! The sentry felt something bite his neck, and reached out to pat it but felt a needle. When I tried to sound the alarm, I was already foaming at the mouth.

The sharp dagger slashed through the sentry's throat, and the sentry was completely unable to speak.

The blowpipe silently killed all the sentinels, even the patrolmen.

The natives wandered in the darkness like ghosts, the same darkness that could not be seen by the five fingers, as if the natives could see. The sharp dagger was inserted into the neck, and with a slash horizontally, the Japanese soldiers could only flutter in the darkness like fish.

"Boom!" A violent explosion woke Zuo Liangyu from his sleep.

By the brief light of the fire, he saw that countless people seemed to be rushing towards his camp, and there seemed to be figures around him.

"Fireworks!"

In fact, there is no need for Zuo Liangyu to shout, there are already fireworks in the sky. Under the reflection of the fireworks of the explosion, Zuo Liangyu saw countless colorful natives with colorful bodies, rushing over frantically with machetes and sticks.

Fireworks fall into the night sky, and everything comes down to darkness.
