Chapter 934: Doing a Wrong Thing

As usual, a convoy of 30 seagoing vessels was passing through the Korean Strait between Korea and the Japanese Kingdom. The five-star flag hanging high indicates their identity. Zhou Gang, the commander of the second regiment of the 3rd Division of the Sea who led the team, was holding a telescope and looking ahead from time to time.

Zhou Gang was originally just a battalion commander, and he came out of the low-level soldiers step by step, and when he dealt with the Phnom Penh Dynasty a while ago, he made great contributions, and he was promoted to one level and became the commander of the second regiment. This was also the first time he escorted and transported supplies as a regiment commander.

As the head of the regiment, his identity is different from the past, and the so-called standing higher and seeing farther is his mood at the moment. As far as he could see, the North Korean ships that would appear in the Korean Strait made him very unhappy. "Humph! These annoying flies have been upset when they passed by here before, and they must be cleaned up when they find an opportunity. ”

He had traveled this transportation line several times before, but not as a regiment commander, and even if he saw those North Korean ships staring at them nearby, he just didn't like it. But now, he is already the head of a group, according to Leng Feng's rules, he can now write to the sixth young master, so he decided to explain the dangers of North Korea after completing the mission and going back, although he doesn't think that the other party dares to do something to him, but this kind of feeling of being targeted by others is also very uncomfortable.

The fleet continued to pass through the strait, and the number of North Korean sea ships was also increasing, reaching more than 200, and Zhou Gang, who was standing in the command cabin, felt that something was wrong. "What's going on? Why did there appear so many North Korean sea ships this time? ”

"They don't dare to attack us." A staff officer from the regimental headquarters next to him replied in a loud voice, and anyone could hear the sense of arrogance in his words.

What is a cold front? That's the representative of the strongest combat power. So far, except for the first division of the world's cavalry ordered by the sixth young master himself, there is really no army that can let them look high.

Regarding the words of the regimental staff officer, everyone nodded very approvingly, including Zhou Gang, and they also thought that anyone would dare to attack their idea. Or that someone dares, but it should definitely not be a North Korean sailor who has never been ignored by them.

It's just that believe it or not, more and more North Korean ships are showing up and approaching less than 100 meters under the flag of order for mercenaries to stop their ships for inspection.

In any case, this is also the other party's sea area, and although it has never been inspected before, they actually have the right to ask for it. In the face of this reasonable request, many ships involuntarily slowed down for a while, and some even stopped altogether.

"Oh no, they're probably going to actually do it. Immediately issue the command flag, notify the other ships, and pass quickly. At the same time, the artillery was ready for shelling. Zhou Gang reacted quickly after an exclamation in his heart, especially when he saw those North Korean sea ships speeding up towards his fleet in the telescope, the bad feeling became more and more intense.

The order was given, and soon the flag men rushed to the bow of the ship to convey the order of the regimental commander. At this moment, the North Korean ships that were approaching also began to move, they first rushed to the side of the five-star military fleet at a rapid speed, and then the planned seven or eight warships surrounded a five-star military sea ship. The planks and decks of the ship were full of Korean soldiers armed with bows and arrows, and when the distance was close to 100 meters, bows and arrows rained down.

The attack that had been prepared for a long time began, and it was unprepared, or it was not even thought that a small North Korean would dare to attack itself. At the moment of engaging the enemy, the Five-Star Army suffered a loss, and some officers of the Five-Star Army who were ready to shout and reprimand were hit by arrows and were either killed or wounded.

It was an unprepared battle and an unequal one.

That is, there was no ideological preparation, and the number of sea ships reached eight to one, and the second regiment of the 3rd Sea Division fell into a difficult situation as soon as it met the enemy. Dozens of officers and soldiers were shot unsuspectingly under the fire of bows and arrows, either falling to the ground or falling into their hands. And the five-star army, which had only two battalions of escort troops, fell into a disadvantage.

Considering the need to escort some more supplies, the second regiment did not dispatch all its troops, and the five battalions of the first regiment only dispatched two battalions, even if they added the regiment commander and some officers of the regimental headquarters, it was only more than 800 people, and they were divided into 30 ships for naval battles, and there were less than 30 soldiers in one ship.

The Korean naval division dispatched more than 200 warships and tens of thousands of soldiers, and this extreme asymmetry was coupled with the fact that one came prepared and the other was unprepared, and the battle instantly entered a one-sided situation.

After the North Korean ships gained the upper hand in the first contact, they quickly began to approach, and when the distance was only ten or twenty meters, a wide wooden plank that had been prepared long ago was thrown out, becoming a temporary passage connecting the two ships.

"Open fire."

Zhou Gang, the head of the main ship, saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and first took a 95th class gun squad handed over by the regimental staff officer on the side, while shouting loudly, at this moment his eyes were red, the fleet was attacked, he was the biggest chief officer here, if he couldn't solve the matter, it would be a dead end whether he went back or not, whether it was his duty or for the dignity of Leng Feng, he could not tolerate the slightest hesitation at this moment.

"Regimental commander, our sea ships are too close to the enemy's sea ships. If you shell it now, you might hurt your own people. When the gunner heard the order, he first looked startled, and then said in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it so much, there is no possibility of the stopped ships leaving, even if the soldiers die in battle, they and the supplies can't fall into the hands of the North Koreans, fire the cannon quickly." The situation is so tense, where does Zhou Gang have extra time to think about so many issues, what he has to do now is to open artillery bombardment on the North Korean naval division, and then take advantage of the time when they will be chaotic for other sea ships to withdraw and buy time and opportunity.

The regimental commander gave the order, and then the cannon rang out and landed on a Korean ship, causing a huge roar and flames rushing into the sky.

At the same time, the cold front soldiers in each ship began to raise their guns to shoot back, and one bullet after another shot went out and landed in the camp of the Korean sailors, attracting scenes of soldiers falling to the ground one after another, and the melee began.

In order to turn the situation around, what he has to do now is to run out of shells in the shortest possible time, give heavy blows to the North Korean sailors, and cover the departure of other ships.

It was obviously impossible to continue forward, and the head of the regiment Zhou Gang ordered again, so the ship turned around and sailed in the sea when it came. At this moment, it is impossible to complete the transportation task, all that is sought is to have less loss.

The bullets collided with the bow and arrows. If this is on land, with the superiority of guns, it is completely possible to fight and retreat at the same time, and the future enemy will be severely damaged. But this was at sea, the space on the ship was limited, and there were not many places to dodge and move, and many warriors were forced back to a corner by bows and arrows, and were eventually killed by random arrows.

In just half an hour of fighting, the soldiers of three ships were killed, and the ships were occupied by Korean sailors.

"Concentrate the last shells and sink those three ships." With a happy face, Zhou Gang gave the order to shell his own ship. Even if the ships have been occupied by the enemy, they cannot be snatched back, and now they can only sink them and prevent the other party from gaining benefits.

"At the same time, order the other ships to retreat quickly, not to fight, and tell the soldiers that we will definitely take revenge for today's revenge, but for now, we should leave the battlefield immediately." Zhou Gang had red eyes, gritted his teeth, and ordered the fleet to retreat.

One after another, the cannonballs flew down and struck the three ships that were already about to become trophies, and one of the shells unfortunately fell on another of the ships that had retreated, and the fire burned brightly, as if it reflected the sea area.

From the battle to the end, in less than two hours, the Five-Star Army lost four warships and nearly 500 dead and wounded soldiers, which was more than 50% of the naval battles, and it was the largest loss of the Leng Feng Naval Division since its establishment.

Zhou Gang, who had retreated far away, stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the raging fire still burning in the distance, his eyes were red, and he swore that he would definitely avenge today's revenge, and he would definitely make the bold North Korea pay a heavy price for what it did today.

Han Minghun stood on the largest North Korean sea ship, looking at the gradually withdrawing five-star military sea ship, and was silent for a long time.

"My lord, are we going to send someone to chase after us?" An admiral stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"No need, our task is to keep them from passing through here, and now that the goal is achieved, we can retreat." Han Minghun shook his head and rejected the offer to continue the pursuit, and then a heavy look of worry appeared in his expression. A force that even the dignified Ming needs to be afraid of, and now that they have taken the initiative to make a provocative move, what will be the next result and impact?

Han Minghun didn't dare to think about it, but he just felt that this time they seemed to have done something wrong, and then it seemed that they would have to pay some price for it.

But no matter how bold Han Minghun thought about it, he didn't expect that this was the beginning of the collapse of North Korea. Since then, the world will be in the country of no Korea.

After Zhou Gang left the Korean Strait with 26 ships for naval battles, he reported the details of what had happened to the naval headquarters by telegram, and at the same time asked for his own punishment.

The telegraph room of the Navy Command was also overwhelmed by the receipt of this telegram. The deputy commander of Kaohsiung, who was sitting here, did not believe it at first when he saw the contents of the telegram. He didn't believe that anyone would take the initiative to fight against the Five Star Army.
