Volume VIII The Battle of the East China Sea Chapter 7 Landing on Gaogang
The wind and waves at sea are still very strong, and there is heavy rain in them, but for tens of thousands of tons of warships, these winds and waves can still be withstanded, the prismatic configuration of the warship, the front and rear are thousands of tons of frigates, and the inside are landing ships and transport ships, the most central position is the eight magic eagle aircraft carriers, and the command ship of Kong Ming is in the innermost. There is no way to do this, because the destruction of the entire naval fleet has left the expeditionary force with less capital to escort on the sea, and this time Kong Ming is also going to take advantage of the annihilation of the opponent's main fleet and the instability of the island, and directly attack him. The sneak attack itself is a risk, and now the wind and rain on the sea are risks, but because Kong Ming has calculated the fleet and the group of monsters on Demon Shark Island twice, it is also the time when the defense of Demon Shark Island is the weakest, so if you don't take it at this time, when will you wait?
In the palace, the emperor looked at the entire coastal harbor inside and outside, everywhere was blood red, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that he wanted to give Kong Ming an idle job after Kong Ming returned to the empire, so that Kong Ming could live his small life with peace of mind, which was good for him and the empire, but it backfired, the emperor's ancestors didn't see it that way, with Kong Ming's sword, it was equivalent to nothing, and if they used it, they could live longer, and the wealth on the East China Sea was the guarantee for their promotion, so Kong Ming became the commander of the East China Sea, and became the commander of the expeditionary force, and now it seems that this is just the beginningWhen the sixteen islands were conquered one after another, they did not know what price they had to pay, and sometimes this was really worth it? The emperor's momentary sadness on his face directly became a compassionate appearance, and in the hearts of the ministers, it also became the emperor's mourning for the dead soldiers. What a merciful emperor.
Walk out of the castle by sea. Seeing that the demonic beasts in the open sea were still tearing each other apart, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he used the entire fleet, billions of gold coins of investment, and couldn't kill these countless demonic beasts, but Kong Ming just let a few little birds fly in the sky, cast a few magic, and let the entire demonic beast group kill each other non-stop, until now there is a steady stream of demonic beasts coming from all directions. Join in this flesh-and-blood event of Warcraft. Kong Ming had said that they were not well prepared, and he never understood why Kong Ming would say this, and at that time he thought that Kong Ming was not well prepared for their things to deal with Warcraft. Now it seems that Kong Ming is saying that they have not studied such things as beast tides enough. If you know a little common sense about this beforehand. Then there would be no such thing. But what I didn't expect was why so many people knew such a common sense but didn't think of using it? This is a difference in ability, and some things seem too ordinary to people, too ordinary, so ordinary that they can say it casually, and at critical times. These common senses often save people's lives, but why some people just can't think of it, and some people think of it, this is the difference. A lot of times a thing is good or bad, it lies in people's understanding and use of them, understand, it is a tool in your hands, do not understand, it is a secret in your eyes, and even some things will be misunderstood to the point of no return, just like wind, rain, thunder and lightning, know, know that they are just a natural phenomenon, do not know, think that they are the incarnation of the gods, know how to use, can let the wind to generate electricity, use the wind to fly kites, do not know how to use, but also know that the wind can make them cooler, this is the difference between understanding and not understanding, the difference between true understanding and false understanding。
Today's sea trip is full of emotion, but there is nothing to be done. What he has to do now is to quickly re-establish a fleet that can withstand the impact of the monster herd after this disaster, and only then can he run rampant in the East China Sea.
At this time, a staff officer came to Haixing's side and said, "General Hai, Commander Kongming asked me to take you to a place. ”
"Where are you going?" Hai Xing looked over, and he knew that this was a staff officer beside Kong Ming, and he was also one of Kong Ming's cronies.
"The commander won't let me say it, saying that you'll understand when you get there. The staff officer said. Hai Xing and Sun Gongfeng looked at each other and nodded.
The staff officer led the two men and their guards all the way to the side of the castle, where there was a ship, which the sea traveler knew, and where the warships were built, but to his strange surprise, none of the more than fifty large warships that had been destroyed had come from here. After walking for a long time, they walked into the outside of the tungsten ship, there is an iron gate between the tungsten and the sea, and the outside of the lock is the corpses of countless demonic beasts piled up there, and when they want to fight, they are also impacted here, and the inside of the lock is a piece of clear water, it seems that it has not been affected inside. Along a special path to the ship's tungsten, at this time the two of them were very shocked by something, in front of them was a 50,000-ton battleship, which was very easy to identify, but what shocked them was that this battleship was completely made of steel, smooth on the surface of steel. At this time, the staff officer was introduced.
"Two generals, this is the battleship that the commander asked me to show you, the shell of this battleship is completely made of steel, and there are many magic arrays sealed in the steel on the surface, these magic arrays can strengthen the strength of the battleship and the protection of magic, fighting spirit and strength, there are two layers in the entire ship, even if the first layer is broken, the entire battleship will not sink because of the water. Behind the battleship is propelled by several magic arrays, which can reach speeds of up to eighty kilometers per hour, and all the artillery fire on it is a condensed type of magic crystal cannon, which is not less powerful than those of the full version. There were no universal sails on this ship, because the magic array behind it was already fully capable of providing enough power, so to speak, such a battleship could be compared to ten battleships made of wood in that respect. ”
"Why isn't this battleship equipped with a navy?" said Hai Xing strangely.
"Because this one is just a test ship, we have tested it several times, and the effect is okay, but if it is produced in large quantities, it will require the cooperation of many larger parties, and now this kind of warship is the only one in the entire Huatian Continent, and the commander is not very familiar with the navy. So it has only been used as a test ship, but today this incident made the commander very annoyed, nearly one hundred and fifty warships, all sunk to the bottom of the sea under the embrace of a large group of low-level demonic beasts, so that the commander has too much dissatisfaction with that kind of wooden ship, the commander asked me to tell you, let your navy immediately organize manpower to test this warship, and the time is only twenty days, that is, you must be within twenty days. Complete the tests of this warship, and make a report, and then we will improve them, and strive to build a complete version of the powerful navy within a year, at least to ensure that this warship will not be heaped to death by monsters again. The staff officer said.
"What about us?" said Haixing. This time. He really didn't know what to say, because Kong Ming had already removed him from his position. Therefore, this experiment should be carried out by Sun Gongfeng.
"Oh. This General Kongming has confessed, you come with me. ”
The two followed the staff officer to a conference room, there was a screen in front of it, this was a magic array specially used for the connection between the two places, and there was a magician next to it, and I saw that the staff officer said a few words to the magic. The magician adjusted the magic array a few times, and then saw a clear picture appear on the top of the screen.
"General Hai and General Sun are here, well, there is no need to talk nonsense. I think Staff Officer Zhang has already told you, from now on, your task is to rebuild the navy, with Sun Gongfeng as the main officer, appointed as the commander of the navy, and I have already communicated with His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of Military Affairs about the sea trip, from now on, you will be demoted to deputy commander, and the order will be given by me now, and the letter of appointment will be issued later. What you have just seen is that we are going to equip real warships, and the quality of these things is directly related to the question of whether we can conquer the entire East China Sea. We strive to complete the formation of a real steel battle fleet within a year. Due to the limited time, we will have to fight all over the world during the year, so from now on this ship will be mixed with the wooden ships, and the other steel ships will be equipped to you one after another. I've informed the shipyards that the last of the wooden ships they built will be coming in, in other words, we have to rebuild the navy in two months, and in two months we'll actually get the steel ships from the shipyards. Remembering the lesson of this time, I don't want to have another time, between people and ships, I choose to retain talents, they are where the confidence of our army lies, we can build ships at any time, but talents will not let us wait for more than 20 years to get them. Sea trip, remember what I said, if there is no problem, you can start a new plan now, time is limited, if there is any doubt, we will contact you in three days. After Kong Ming finished speaking, he didn't give any explanation to the two, and directly cut off the signal, the two looked at it, and finally Haixing said helplessly: "Commander Sun, let's start!"
"General Hai, you're polite, let's do it together, this thing is really not easy!"
Three hours later, the shape of Gao Harbor had appeared on the magic screen in front of Kong Ming.
"Commander, we are already only ten kilometers away from the high harbor, and now they can already see our fleet. A staff officer said from the side.
"Order, Lu Zhongyi made preparations for landing battle, and ordered Ling Yun to be ready to attack at any time. The ships sailed straight to the enemy's harbor and did not land on the beach. Kong Ming said.
"Kong Ming, it seems that the enemy hasn't reacted yet!" Li Feizhi said. This made him very strange, and it stands to reason that the fleet should be visible from there.
"They haven't reacted yet because they didn't think we were coming, and when they do, they'll wait for us on the docks. Kong Ming said.
Gao Gangtai Wharf, on the watchtower of the port, a lookout is looking at the sea boringly, he has been doing this job for more than ten years, this kind of day has long made him upset, if it is placed in normal times, he may not come, but today, because the warships on the island are fighting with the Huayuan Empire, so he must be in good spirits, otherwise, once something happens, he can't afford to take this responsibility. At this time, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a lot of fine spots emerging above the sea, and then slowly appeared the appearance of a ship, and at this time he knew that a fleet was coming, but where the fleet was, he didn't know, even so. More than ten years of work experience still gave him an instinctive reaction, and he directly rang the magic bell to let those behind him know that a fleet was coming. During this period of time, the city guards of Gaogang were highly nervous, so as soon as there was a stir, they nervously rushed to the position of the guards, and now they suddenly heard the news that a fleet was coming, and they reacted immediately. The lord of the castle stood on top of the castle with his guards, watching the fleet that gradually appeared in the distance. Since the high port is not a deep-water port, and above its docks. In order to give the ship a place to dock, they also built a long wooden dock in the middle of the sea, and even then, only small boats could be docked here, not large ships of more than 5,000 tons. What's more, at this time, it is the time of low tide. A large pile of fishing boats was parked on the beachhead like a brick.
"City Lord. What kind of army are those?" said the captain of the city guard from the city lord's side.
"Huayuan's expeditionary force, they are finally here, it seems that a battle in Gaogang is inevitable!" the city lord sighed, now he no longer has any navy and expeditionary force in his hands to fight, because the three warships in the city have been requisitioned by the island owner. Now they had to fight the expeditionary force on land.
"Thankfully, it's a low ebb, and their army wouldn't have come up, otherwise. One impact from them can make our Gaogang City fall. The captain of the guard sighed, these more than fifty warships are all huge warships, and if you think about it, you will know that there will definitely be no fewer people on it.
"Gather all the people at once, and we're going to make them pay an irreparable price here. The city lord said fiercely. Gaogang is a place where sailors and pirates gather, and there will not be a few similar people, but it is almost impossible for them to fight for Gaogang City, so although the city lord said so, they can only rely on the city defense army of less than 5,000, because the island owner has withdrawn the navy, and now they only have some soldiers left to maintain law and order, you must know how many years they have not been harassed here, even if there are, it is only a few hundred pirates, where do you need to prepare so many warriors. And because they heard that the Huayuan Empire was going to attack here, they also recruited soldiers, but there were few servants, and they finally recruited a group, but let the island owner take them away. Now it's a bit of a trap.
At this time, Kong Ming, who was above the aircraft carrier, was furious, because the chart indicated that Gao Gang belonged to a deep-water port, so Kong Ming was fantasizing about landing directly at the port, killing it by surprise, and then seizing Gao Gang City, but because of the mistake of this chart, the entire fleet had to stop on the open sea, because the two warships in front had run aground, and the other ships could only look at the nearby Gao Gang City on the open sea.
"Who is a broken picture painted by hemp, a shallow beach, actually painted a deep-water port, he thinks I'm a bully, right, hemp, go back and let me check who painted this broken thing, Lao Tzu can't spare him, go to him numb. Kong Ming looked at this situation and said angrily, the people next to him were all lonely, no one wanted to touch Kong Ming's mold at this time, but they underestimated Kong Ming's attitude.
"What are you doing here, look at the joke, he's numb, Lu Zhongyi, why don't you take your Marine Army to quickly put down the boat, attack, and stay here for what? Do you want to eat here?" Kong Ming's last sentence shouted out directly, Kong Ming was so angry, he didn't expect to walk more than a hundred kilometers by sea and take such a big risk, but let a drawing be blinded. Now he doesn't like anyone, but today's experience is too annoying. From defeat to victory, from hope to disappointment, these things came in a day, so fast that Kong Ming didn't even stop for a quarter of an hour to think about the gains and losses, so his temper became so irritable. Lu Zhongyi also left in a hurry after hearing this, for fear of touching his head again.
Looking at such Kong Ming, Li Feizhi motioned for them to leave quickly, otherwise they would really see Kong Ming's irritability. But apparently Kong Ming didn't want to let them go at this time,
"What are you going, Lingyun, you are ready at any time, when Lu Zhongyi's team approaches the beachhead, take off immediately, support Lu Zhongyi's battle, don't let the enemy come and attack in a half, this is the elite of the whole country, we can't afford it." Do you hear me!" The last sentence was like a loud shout.
"Heard the commander!" Ling Yun also replied loudly, but at this moment, he greeted the eighteen generations of the mapper's ancestors in his heart.
"I heard what you're still doing here, are you waiting for dinner?" Kong Ming roared loudly again, and after watching Ling Yun walk out, everyone was also silent for a while, they knew that they must not mess with Kong Ming at this time, otherwise the anger would come to their heads. But obviously, Kong Ming's love quickly stabilized, he sat down, looked at Gaogang City opposite from the window, motionless, the others hurriedly went their own way, and Li Feizhi automatically took over Kong Ming's baton, because Kong Ming had already given the order for the next thing, and he was going to command it specifically.
The weather of the typhoon is not so obvious here, but the heavy rain began to fall, in the wind and rain, the Marine Army began the first island landing battle in the history of the empire, it stands to reason that such weather should not land, but they have to do it, because according to the general understanding of typhoon weather, the rain generally lasts for a period of time, and during this time, Kong Ming does not want these soldiers to stay on the battleship, so that their combat effectiveness will be infinitely weakened, and the longer the time, the weaker the combat effectiveness. So the only way to attack is to take advantage of the beginning of this rain. From this point of view, Kong Ming is really not a qualified naval commander, otherwise he would have thought about everything before coming.
In the big waves, the landing ship put down a small boat, each small boat sat on ten people, the small boat shook in the big waves, they began to shake towards the beach a few hundred meters away, I have to say, at this time the strength of those fighters is really strong, they don't want to stay on the boat anymore, so desperately row to the shore, and the homeopathic sea will also push them towards the beach. For a moment, the beach was littered with soldiers and officers of the expeditionary force, but at this time it would be dangerous for the people of the city to attack.
"Commander, it is very dangerous to land at this time, you must know that we can't see clearly ahead, and if we let the enemy attack our troops on the shore after we land, it will be dangerous. A staff officer of the Marine Corps said to Lu Zhongyi.
"Do you think I don't know, but that damn fellow, you have to let us go up, or we won't have any good fruit to eat. Lu Zhongyi was annoyed again, he didn't want to offend Kong Ming, you must know that Haixing had just been cleaned up by him, and Haixing was just saying an angry word, so he was directly dismissed. If he dares to do so, the dismissal is already the lightest.
At the head of Gaogang City, under the eaves, the captain of the guard said to the city lord: "City lord, it is taboo for the Huayuan army to cross the sea and fight in the heavy rain, if we attack while their foothold is not stable and the formation is scattered, we will definitely be victorious." ”
"Oh, why?" the lord asked, something that annoyed the captain of the guard, half-crossing, which was basic military common sense, and the idiot was asking him this question.
"City Lord, the army is not the same as the battle of a single person, the army pays attention to a formation when fighting, if there is no formation, then no matter how powerful the army is, it will be defeated, and when the enemy is half-crossing, the formation is the most chaotic, at this time the officer can not find the soldier, the soldier can not find the officer, but we have a good time to destroy the enemy, if we miss it, there will be no one, once they gather the army, we are definitely not their opponent, so we can only give them a dismount, so that they dare not mess around, only in this way, can the time be dragged until the rescue comes。 "Although time is pressing, the captain of the guard still has to patiently explain to this idiot city lord.
"Oh, that's it, let's strike. The city lord of Gaogang hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
