Chapter 725: The Korean Campaign (7)
Of course, the DPRK of this era was the brainless fan of the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, and the Korean sailors never thought of fighting with the Ming sailors, let alone the large sail warships of the Western colonizers.
Then they produced a famous admiral Yi Sunsin, this guy is really powerful, he made full use of the advantages of the turtle boat, combined with the complex sea environment in the south of Korea, but the characteristics of the turtle ship were brought into full play.
As for the "Battle of Mingliang" filmed by the stick, it can only be said that the movie is really good, the plot is tense, the climax is repeated, and it is filled with the miraculous aura of the cosmic empire from beginning to end.
The fighting will of the Korean naval division was indeed much stronger than that of the Korean infantry army, and they were attacked by the Far Eastern Fleet along the coast, and several turtle ships braved the artillery fire of the Far Eastern warships and bravely broke through to the outside of the naval division's camp.
But in an instant, it was covered by the artillery fire of the Far Eastern Attack Fleet, and the Far Eastern shear sailing ships and Slupp sloops, equipped with navy-type extended 70-mm guns, were equipped with the latest incendiary bombs developed by the military factory, and several turtle ships that bravely attacked were suddenly beaten into a raging fire.
The Far East Attack Fleet formed a detachment of more than a dozen warships, each of which led more than 100 pirate ships of the guerrilla fleet. The naval divisions surrounding the southern coast of the DPRK constantly fired the latest incendiary bombs, and the DPRK naval divisions in Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province were in full flames.
The Southern Army, which then launched a general attack, also landed on the southern coast of Korea. The destruction of the elite of the Korean naval division also made the landing of the Southern Army in the southern coastal area of Korea very smooth.
The vast majority of North Korea's elite has been mobilized to the North to deal with pressure from the Far East on the border. The infantry troops in the south of Korea were all local armies, and they did not wait for the Far East to attack. They were scattered one after another, so that the attack of the southern army also turned into a military parade.
The news of the invasion of the Far East Army into Korea also caused widespread panic in North Korea. North Koreans began to flee on a large scale. In the Battle of Wanli Korea that year, the Japanese army that invaded Korea burned and plundered everywhere in Korea. Everywhere the Japanese army went, they burned and looted, and more than 60,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered in Jinju alone. In addition, the Japanese army also caused many massacres in various parts of Korea, which still haunted the Korean people.
But the discipline of the Far Eastern Army in Korea was much better, at least for the civilian population of North Korea. Before launching the Korean Campaign, Gao Jianguo emphasized battlefield discipline on more than one occasion. If a violation of discipline is found, whoever it is, will be shot on the spot.
The Far Eastern Military Commission is known for its iron blood, and its military discipline is extremely strict. Even those veterans of the overseas brigade did not dare to disobey in the slightest. They may dare to play a game of side-kicking, but there is not a single person who really violates military discipline.
The Japanese death soldiers are murderous, they are a beast in the form of a human being. Machines of war. However, in the face of the strict military discipline in the Far East, they did not dare to go beyond it. The requirements of the Far Eastern Military Council for them were simple. That is, when you are asked to kill, you can't kill any less, and when you are not allowed to kill, you can't kill any of them.
As for the forcible rape of women, the Far Eastern Military Commission strictly prohibits it, and even regards it as a red line. Whoever touches it dies. To put it simply, as long as you can't control your small head, then chop your big head.
However, during the Korean campaign, as long as there were those who dared to attack the Far Eastern Army, the Far East's retaliation was extremely cruel. The Southern Legion was once attacked by the locals. As a result, a soldier of the overseas brigade of the Far Eastern Army was killed. Gao Jianguo personally ordered the attack on the town of the Far Eastern Army and several villages next to it, which were slaughtered by the Daredevils of the Southern Army.
The Korean campaign progressed so rapidly that the Far Eastern Army also issued an ultimatum to the North Korean army, and the North Korean army, which laid down its arms within one month, would not only save their lives, but also retain their private property, and would also be demobilized on the spot and returned to their places of origin. If they fail to comply within the time limit, they will be brutally attacked by the Far Eastern Army, and even if they are captured and save their lives, they will be sent to the Liaodong mines to dig coal for a lifetime.
The North Korean army, which had already been beaten stupidly by the Far East, heard the ultimatum of the Far Eastern Military Commission, laid down their arms one after another, and rushed to surrender, for fear that it would be too late and the Far Eastern Military Commission would change its mind.
The strength and invincibility of the Far Eastern Army is only one aspect, and the military discipline of the Far Eastern Army has been very good since it entered the Korean War, and there have been very few cases of harassment of civilians. North Korean civilians who fled have also returned to their hometowns, finding that their homes have not been harassed at all, and the elderly who have stayed at home are also safe and sound, which has also gradually stabilized the situation in various parts of North Korea.
But there were also some generals who were loyal to the Li dynasty and tried to pull their troops into the mountains to fight guerrillas. There were also some landlords and gentry in some areas, who gathered some righteous people and formed some guerrilla forces to resist the barbaric aggression of the Far Eastern Army.
The Far Eastern Army mobilized airships, mountain brigades, and mountain militia brigades to frantically encircle and suppress these rebel forces. There were airships in the sky, cannons on the ground, and some guerrilla forces composed of rabble, delusionally believing that a spark could start a prairie fire, but not even a spark came out, and it was wiped out by the Far Eastern Army.
Although the Military Commission has basically controlled the situation in North Korea, all parts of North Korea are calm on the surface, but secretly there is a turbulent undercurrent. In particular, the Korean royal family has not been accounted for, so that the gentry class and bureaucracy in North Korea are secretly colluding. There were even some brave Korean people with lofty ideals who were not afraid of death, and asked to meet with the Joseon king Injo Ri Jung.
The Far Eastern Military Commission did not pay attention to them, continued to exercise military administration in Korea, and restored order in Korea as much as possible. The company's Ethnic Affairs Committee sent a large number of Korean migrant laborers, all of whom were trained during this period of intensive training and training of a group of grassroots cadres, specifically for the Korean post-war preparation, including a large number of political workers.
In 1598, the Imjin War, which lasted for seven years, ended with the victory of China and Korea. The war severely damaged the economy of North Korea, and after the war, the arable land was reduced to the level before the war, and the population plummeted to one-sixth of the pre-war level.
However, the partisan strife between the Korean court and the Korean court did not stop even during the war, and it intensified after the war. The cracks in society were revealed in the aftermath of the War, and the 500-year-old Joseon Dynasty actually began to decline from this time, and the 300-year-old dynasty after the Wars lost its vitality and was no different from the walking dead.
The greedy North Korean elite brazenly annexed the lands left over from the war without paying a single tax to the state. However, the lives of the DPRK civilians are getting worse and worse, and the people's burdens have greatly increased. The company also took the opportunity to bring Korean employees from the Far East to Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province in northern North Korea, and with the assistance of Far East political workers, it vigorously mobilized the masses to carry out the agrarian revolution in the two provinces.
