Chapter 309: Night Attack on Iron Mountain

Song Tao took Phi Dao very easily, facing more than a thousand wolf-like Far Eastern soldiers, and the Phi Dao rebels who were still immersed in sleep did not even have a chance to resist, so they were easily disarmed.

Occupying Phi Dao, he not only captured a large number of sea ships of the Dongjiang Naval Division, but also obtained several thousand Ming prisoners of Dongjiang Town captured by Liu Xingzhi. Although the overseas corps already has four brigades and more than 12,000 personnel, the Central Military Commission wants to form two more brigades. With the continuous increase in the number of overseas territories in the Far East, it is clear that the four overseas brigades are not enough.

The company's next step to control the entire Philippine Islands alone will require a large number of manpower. Not to mention that in the future, there will be Java, Malacca, the Spice Islands, and the Malay Peninsula, all of which will require a large number of troops.

To deal with the local natives and Western colonizers, it is appropriate to use overseas legions. As long as the sea control is obtained, the ruffians of the overseas corps, who were originally from the Ming Dynasty, will definitely be able to sweep the entire South China Sea after rigorous training and equipped with front-loading rifled fire cap guns that surpass this era.

Compared with the ease of occupying Phi Island, Li Ming did not dare to take the Tartars of Iron Mountain lightly. After all, less than one company of officers and men armed with modern weapons this time, and the remaining 2,000 people were composed of overseas regiments, Jeju Island garrison battalions, and pirates who had been trained for attack.

Therefore, he will personally go into battle and lead an assault team composed of four special combat troops, a company from the War Department and the Admiralty, and a battalion of the Overseas Corps to go ashore first.

By the time the fleet arrived on the shores of Cheolsan County in Korea, it was already early in the morning. Landing Ship No. 1 landed on a stretch of beach southwest of Iron Mountain, just a few miles from Tartar Camp.

Li Ming disembarked with the assault team and walked along the coast towards the camp of the Tartars. Li Ming personally led four special combat personnel and a platoon from the War Department to the forefront.

At this time, in the Tartar camp on the southern coast of Tieshan, there were hundreds of Tartar armor soldiers, as well as more than 1,000 Han Chinese, who were accompanied by them for labor, labor, and errands. Li Ming and four special combat team members. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he sneaked into the camp of the Tartars.

With the help of night vision devices, they conducted a reconnaissance of the Tartar camp. The camp where the Tartars were found stored a large amount of grain, horse material, armor, arrows and other materials, and what excited Li Ming the most was that there were thousands of Tartar war horses.

Break into the territory of the Korean Tartars, in order to ensure the speed of the march. All the cavalry who came, and they were all the elite of the Tartars. They were taken to Phi Island by sea boat by Liu Xingzhi, and they stored their war horses in the camp.

The Tartars guarding the seaside camp did not increase their precautions, although this place had penetrated deep into the interior of North Korea, but the local government of North Korea pretended not to see it, and no one dared to have any ideas. So these Tartars only left a few guards at night.

Li Ming and four special combat team members. Cleanly touched a few dozing Tartar sentries and opened the camp gate of the Tartar camp, Li Ming whispered into the headphones: "The action begins, the action must be fast......

After a while, the commandos all entered the camp of the Tartars. When they entered the camp, they did not attack immediately, but spread out in place, marching into the depths of the camp in platoons and occupying all the key points in the camp.

Suddenly. A tartar who had risen at night came out of the tent, and he took advantage of the faint light of the camp. As soon as he found the Far Eastern Army in the camp, he hurriedly shouted: "Someone is attacking the camp......"

"Bang...... Bang ......"

Before the Tartar could finish shouting, he was killed by Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer, who had penetrated deep into the area, and several of their ruffians opened fire almost at the same time. The Tartar was driven directly into the cowhide tent behind him.

But the shouts of the Tartars still alarmed the Tartars in the camp, and the whole camp suddenly became in a commotion. Li Ming heard the sound of gunshots. Hurriedly shouted into the headphones: "The units have begun to attack ......"

After receiving Li Ming's order, everyone also began to fire one after another.

The firepower of the commandos was quite strong, and each platoon of the overseas corps was equipped with several officers and soldiers of the War Department armed with modern weapons, as well as more than a dozen soldiers of the garrison battalion armed with rifles and 40mm grenade launchers. Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer were armed with front-loading rifled fire cap guns. They were also armed with a katana.

In the face of such firepower, as soon as the disheveled Tartars rushed out of the camp, they were killed by the intensive fire of the Far Eastern Army. After Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer finished firing, they hurriedly reloaded the Mini bullets, picked up the musket and rushed towards a camp tent next to it.

Just as a dozen disheveled Tartars ran out of this tent, Zhang Tiehammer shouted loudly: "Queue up, raise your gun...... Shooting ......"

More than a dozen ruffians hurriedly stopped and simply lined up in two rows, because the distance was only a dozen meters, and the first row of ruffians picked up their guns and pulled the trigger with simple aiming.

"Bang...... Bang ......"

A few whizzing Minnie bullets knocked several Tartars to the ground in an instant. Immediately after that, the second row also pulled the trigger, and another round of mini bullets knocked down several more Tartars.

But there were still a few Tartars who had not been hit by Minnie's bullets, and they had taken advantage of this to take out their big bows and set them up with arrows, and were about to shoot arrows at them. This frightened Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer, the Tartar bow horse is not a joke, especially these Tartar armor soldiers, the heavy arrows shot with a big bow can penetrate the cotton armor at such a close distance.

"Bang...... Bang......"

After a series of gunshots, Li Ming grabbed the Glock pistol in both hands, flashed from behind the battalion commander, walked to the side of several Tartars and kicked them one by one. Then he put down the gun, turned his head and shouted to Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer: "What are you doing in a daze, load ammunition, and then follow me......"

Wang Bo and the others all knew Li Ming, and they woke up in shock by Li Ming's voice. They hurriedly took out the fixed ammunition packs and loaded them with gunpowder one after another. To tell the truth, they were frightened just now, and if they let a few elite Tartars on the opposite side shoot arrows, they would have to hurt a few people.

The Tartars' bows and arrows were on point, and although the distance of more than a dozen steps was very close, they could only resist a few arrows, and although the armor on their bodies covered the important parts tightly, injuries were inevitable.

At that time, I don't know how many brothers died under the heavy arrows of the Tartars in Liaodong. They quickly loaded their ammunition and followed Li Ming to the depths of the Tartar camp.

In the face of the Far Eastern army, armed to the teeth, the Tartars, awakened from their sleep, simply could not organize an effective counterattack. Although the Tartars are brave and fierce, no matter how strong their individual strength is, they cannot defeat the well-organized army system.

In less than an hour of fighting, the Tartars in the camp were killed, and the Far Eastern army suffered only a dozen wounds. More than 1,000 Han people were overjoyed to see that it was the Han army, and they knelt on the ground one after another, hoping that the Far Eastern Army could take them away.

Li Ming inspected the camp, and there were thousands of stones in the grain alone, in addition, the dried meat and mountain goods were piled up, and there were also a lot of armor, arrows, and various materials. There are also many poultry and livestock stolen in North Korea. There are also hundreds of Korean women who have been robbed by the Tartars for them to vent their beastly desires.

Of course, there are still the most horses, there are more than 5,000 war horses alone, and there are more than 2,000 horses pulling goods. But now the problem arises, how to transport thousands of war horses, this is a difficult problem. War horses are delicate, and a ship can't pull a few at all.

Just when Li Ming was worried about this, Song Tao's voice came from the earphones.

"Dude, are you done there? I can hear your gunfire on Phi Island, it's lively enough. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "I just finished the battle and am cleaning up the battlefield." Do you have a qiēshun lì where to fight? ”

Song Tao laughed and said: "What kind of battle do I have here, before we can fight, we all surrendered to the damn." Those ruffians of the overseas corps, they didn't wait for the fight to start, they just shouted loudly, and as soon as the other party heard that it was a Liaodong accent, it ended without much fighting. ”

"I'm worried now, I've captured thousands of horses left on the shore by Tartars here, but I don't know how to get them back. Several of our ships were full of people. It would be nice to be able to pull back a few hundred horses in the vacated space. Paralyzed, if I can't do it, I'll slaughter all these hundreds of war horses, and I can't leave these horses for the Tartars. ”

"My brother, that's thousands of horses, you still want to slaughter them, it's too loser."

Li Ming was amused and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, I don't know these horses are good things, but I can't let these horses swim back to Jeju Island by themselves." ”

Song Tao was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Do you think this will work, there are two or three hundred military ships and merchants here on Phi Island, how about we use these ships to pull all those horses to Jeju?" ”

"Dude, two or three hundred ships, how many people do you need to operate the boats? Where are we going to find so many sailors. ”

Song Tao smiled and said: "I haven't told you yet, Phi Dao was imprisoned by Liu Xingzhi for thousands of Dongjiang soldiers, most of whom were soldiers of the Dongjiang Water Division. We're going to get people and horses back to Jeju, hehe......"

Li Ming was happy when he heard it, this idea is really good. He said excitedly: "Dude, you mobilize some veterans of the original Dongjiang River to do the work of those Ming troops, and then let them sail to Tieshan and pull these horses back to Jeju." ”

After ending the call with Song Tao, Li Ming was in a very good mood, and he was finally able to pull these horses back, just these thousands of war horses, this battle was worth it.

He walked into a tent in the Tartars, which was his temporary headquarters in Iron Mountain. Li Ming took out his flashlight and walked to the map, looking at the route of the Tartars' attack in North Korea that had been marked.

Li Ming looked at it for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, whether to take this opportunity to sweep the banks of the Yalu River in Tatar. It's rare to come once, cuddle the grass and beat the rabbit, and the scourge will be golden.

It's a rare opportunity, it's all at the door of the Tartars' house, and it's too much to say if you don't fight. Thinking of this, Li Ming stood in front of the map and began to study it. (To be continued......)
