Chapter 1016: Preparing for Fishing
Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and it is not difficult for the other party to escape if you aim at any target. Just like now, as the Clipper ship on which Ma Kecheng is riding continues to accelerate and the direction is constantly changing, it is very difficult to lock it down. As for the pursuit, it is even more impossible, this sea area is full of bombed ships, and there are some ships that have surrendered to the cowardly, they are on the way, and they also block the way of the five-star army and sea division to pursue the thief Ma Kecheng.
Ma Kecheng fled, and the battle finally ended before dark. This sea ship, which lasted more than five hours, vigorously destroyed the strength of the thief leader. According to later statistics, more than 300 large and small ships were blown up in this battle, and about 100 ships collided with each other when they fled, and more than 300 surrendered, but not about 300 ships really escaped, and they still fled in all directions, and finally fled with Ma Kecheng to Sumatra, his old base area, and the ships were only 200 at most.
This battle laid the foundation for the invincibility of the five-star army at sea, as the news of those fleeing ships continued to spread, and soon after, all the sea forces knew that the five-star army and sea division had a kind of artillery that hit extremely far away, and from then on, wherever the five-star army and sea division appeared, most of the enemies would flee from the wind and dare not fight.
When it was dark, the telegrams of the 2nd and 4th Divisions were sent to Yang Chendong. "Okay, praise, the whole army awards." Looking at the telegram saying that this battle, the 2nd Division and the 4th Division were unscathed, and Yang Chendong's face showed a happy smile.
On the side, Deputy Commander of the Navy Kaohsiung's face was also smiling with Rong Youyan, "Sixth Young Master, all this is thanks to our advanced weapons." ”
"Yes. Knowledge is power, and this is the most perfect embodiment, and we would not have been able to achieve such a great victory without the joint efforts of the arsenal and the sea shipyards to produce these fast warships and artillery. In this way, at the same time, a telegram was sent to the palace of the king of Chichishi Castle and the palace of the lord of the city, commending the scientific research personnel in the city. Taking advantage of the situation, Yang Chendong deliberately increased the value of intellectuals.
Naturally, the other officers had no doubts about this. Facts speak louder than words, and the superiority of advanced weapons in this battle is a perfect manifestation, and they deserve to be commended.
When the news of the battle in the waters off Palawan Island came back to the Red Embedded City, there was a sudden rise of a wave of scientific and technological power, and many aspiring young people went to apply for the first college of the Yang family in the Red Embedded City, just hoping to learn advanced knowledge and serve the Yang Department in the future.
The consequences of this battle were far more than that, as there were still hundreds of pirate ships fleeing to various places in a hurry, the news of the unusually powerful artillery of the five-star army and the sea division quickly spread. made some forces and organizations that originally wanted to wrestle with the Five-Star Army hesitate.
In particular, in order to clear themselves of their guilt, those pirates who escaped deliberately began to exaggerate the combat power of the five-star army and naval divisions, and took the initiative to say that their artillery could be more than ten miles away, dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles away.
Ten days later, three divisions of the 1st Navy appeared off the coast of Mindanao and blockaded the area on three sides
It's fenced off.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Yang Chen's eastward journey was a strategy of encircling three ques. Give the other side a point of hope to prevent the enemy's fish from breaking the net.
The city of Malalaq, the king of Dafe, adjacent to the later Davao Bay, had a large harbor here, and here stayed 500 warships belonging to Abu Bakr, which was also the power under his exclusive control, and at the same time the last power in the hands of Abu Bakr.
The news of Marco's defeat came a few days earlier. When he heard the news, Abu Bakr looked incredulous, and then he was on pins and needles.
He didn't believe the rumors that the five-star army and naval division had artillery that could hit hundreds of miles away, thinking that someone was exaggerating. But the fact that the Five-Star Army has a powerful artillery that is different from others can basically be proven.
Who is Ma Kecheng, who joined the pirates when he was a teenager and later became a giant of the party. I don't know how many times I have fought large and small naval battles, if it weren't for the very powerful artillery of the five-star army and naval division, how could it have been defeated so quickly and so miserably.
Judging from this statement, Ma Kecheng is not an opponent, and he will naturally not be an opponent. The wisest choice now would be to flee, but as a businessman, Abu Bakr is full of gambling and wants to gamble again.
Abu Bakr, who did not choose to leave immediately, sent an envoy to negotiate with the five-star army and sea division, in his eyes money is everything, and he wants to use silver to buy his life. And this time, as soon as he made a move, it was two million taels of silver, and he didn't believe that the five-star military sea master would not be moved.
If it were exchanged for other organizations and forces, two million taels of silver would definitely not turn a blind eye. But in Yang Chendong's eyes, it is really nothing, at least he will not stop his military plan because of this silver, even if the war has been fought to this extent, it is inevitable and unstoppable to take the opportunity to recover the entire Dafei Islands.
In the face of the envoy sent by Abu Bakr, Yang Chendong sharply denounced Abu Bakr's crimes, saying that the Philippines attacked the port of Luzon for no reason, which was simply a provocation and a challenge. The Five-Star Army is fearless for any challenge. This time, the revenge of the Five Star Army is extremely just, and it is impossible to withdraw the army, as the king of the Great Philippines Abu Bakr, who made a mistake, what he needs to do now is to surrender immediately and accept the trial of the dead soldiers and the families of the people on Luzon.
After refusing to accept the peace talks, the envoy returned to Mindanao in disgrace. Then the whole island was defended, and the 500 warships in the harbor were also hidden by the harbor, giving people the impression that they might draw their swords at any time and take people's lives.
Not only that, Abu Bakr also issued a signal asking for help in the name of the king of the Great Philippines, saying that no matter who it was, as long as he could help him defeat the five-star army and sea division, he would be rewarded with five million taels of silver.
Five million taels of silver is definitely not a small amount. The so-called death for money naturally aroused the greed of some people, and the five-star military naval division had the intention of becoming the target of the public.
"It's not normal, it's definitely not normal." In the cabin of the God of War No. 1 warship, Yang Chendong looked
Looking at the information collected from all parties, his brows furrowed slightly.
Abu Berkel's provocative move this time did make Yang Chendong a little angry. But as he took the opportunity to go to war and continued to occupy many islands, the anger was no longer so strong. On the contrary, he had to thank the other party for giving him an excuse to send troops in the name of justice.
The anger is not so big, in Yang Chendong's eyes, Abu Bakr is not a person who must die, and he does not want to leave the impression that other forces are too strong after this battle, leaving a way for Abu Bakr to live, which will allow him to gain more good reputation. In his mind, once the negotiations broke down and the other side had a little common sense, then what they should do now was to flee, so that Mindanao would end the war by taking Mindanao into their own hands. But the other party did not leave, but also showed a dead look, and even the funds were increased from the original two million taels to five million taels.
With this kind of abnormal changes, Yang Chendong began to have doubts in his heart. The so-called if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, there must be a knife. There must be something he didn't know, otherwise, Abu Bakr would have fled at sea long ago instead of defending the whole island.
"Check! Send a telegram to the members of the security bureau and the CIA on the island, and find out why it is and why Abu Bakr must die instead of avoiding war. "I couldn't think of it, so I simply handed over the task to someone who could complete it.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, Kaohsiung, the deputy commander of the navy who followed him, asked for instructions: "Sixth young master, the second and third divisions have sent telegrams, asking when to launch a general attack on the island?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, wait a minute, see if someone really wants money and death, if so, take advantage of this battle to solve it together." Yang Chendong said unhurriedly. When he heard that Abu Bakr had offered five million taels of silver to ask for help, he wanted to see if there were really people who were enemies of him in the face of money, and if so, such a person must be a hidden danger, and it would be better to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Knowing that the sixth young master was going to prepare for fishing, Kaohsiung agreed and turned around to make a location, he needed to send some small reconnaissance ships to check the movements in the surrounding waters, so that once something happened, he could react as soon as possible.
......
Vientiane City, the capital of Lao Province.
For a while, He Guang, the provincial commander-in-chief, was always a little uneasy. Yan Jiang, the captain of his own army, had been missing for more than a month, and although he had arranged for many people to inquire about the news, there was still no news. Intuition told him that something must have happened, and he had no choice but to report the matter to Governor Luan Xiaochen.
Yan Jiang, Luan Xiaochen also knew this person, and many times He Guang sent important documents to this person, giving him the feeling that this is a very upright person. Given his special identity, Luan Xiaochen's feeling was that this person must have discovered something, so his disappearance would not be so simple.
Dare to attack the captain of the personal army of the general of Laos province, needless to say, this is not a trivial matter. At that moment, Luan Xiaochen handed over the task to the branch of the Security Bureau in Laos Province, and only seven days later, the news came from the Security Bureau, and the investigation revealed that the last place where Yan Jiang and the six personal soldiers appeared was probably the mansion of Deputy General Haiqing.
