Chapter 171: Dongjiang Town
Li Ming stood at the head of Jingyi County, which had just been captured, and watched a group of Japanese warriors in the city who were like wolves and tigers, kicking the door door from house to house and driving the Korean civilians out of their homes.
In the early hours of this morning, the migrant fleet landed near Jingyi County, and Song Tao, with a special combat team and samurai of the Death Army, took advantage of the cover of night to carry out a surprise attack on the county town of Jingyi, and the North Korean troops stationed here collapsed at the first touch, surrendered in groups, and occupied this place in less than two hours.
Li Ming turned around and gave an order to the commanders of the detachments behind him: "Teach the second battalion, the daring army brigade, the armored company, the automobile company, and the artillery company to form the Jeju Island Garrison Reinforcement Battalion, with battalion commander Wang Yaowu and deputy battalion commander Fujita."
Your mission is to occupy the entire territory of Jeju Island in the shortest possible time after the departure of the main force of the fleet, and to kill anyone who resists. It is forbidden to harass ordinary civilians, but all the property of wealthy officials and eunuchs is confiscated.
Finding suitable sites on the island to build a camp for migrants, as well as collecting as much food as possible and all kinds of livestock and poultry. I don't care what method you use, when the main force of the migrant fleet pulls the migrants back, the migrant camps on Jeju Island must have the ability to receive migrants. ”
When Wang Yaowu and Fujita heard the order, they immediately stood upright, and Wang Yaowu shouted loudly: "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will complete the task!" ”
Li Ming nodded, and then said to Zhou Cheng: "The No. 1 and No. 2 landing ships, as the vanguard of the fleet, set off first to rush to @Ocean Island, and the other ships will unload the materials as much as possible, and they will also set off immediately after unloading the materials." Let's all go and prepare, the main force of the fleet will set sail tonight. ”
Everyone heard Li Ming's order. They all responded with a bang, and then went their separate ways to prepare.
Song Tao looked back at the departing crowd and said with a smile: "Dude, let's go to the beach for a walk, hehe...... It is said that in Jeju Island in this era, haenyeo went to the sea bare-bottomed, are we ......"
Li Ming rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, for a long time, you have been thinking about this." I said, can you have a snack? We're going to war now, and we're ......."
Song Tao pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's still called a war, you didn't look at Fujita's face just now." Stretched so long. He took that broken knife for a long time today. Not a single North Korean soldier was killed. They were charged by these daredevils, and they all surrendered, and almost didn't euphore. ”
A large number of North Korean civilians and surrendered troops. was driven out of the county town by a group of Japanese death army samurai, ready to go to the port to help unload the ship. And there are many more civilians from Jeju Island coming in droves from the vicinity of Jeongui County.
The samurai of the Japanese daredevils were very vicious, and if these Koreans were a little slower, they would be kicked and beaten immediately. There were shouts and screams everywhere inside and outside Jingyi County. With a large number of manpower, the speed of loading and unloading materials has increased dramatically.
The two landing ships were the first to unload the supplies, and then Li Ming, Song Tao, and the 1st Battalion left Jeju Island in the two landing ships.
Ocean Island Bay, where the Military Commission stationed a platoon of troops when the Far East Company left last year, and two armed fishing boats, were responsible for the security of the nearby waters.
The person in charge who stayed here was platoon commander He Ping, who was now guarding the mountains of Ocean Island every day, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and to the fleet in Vladivostok. They couldn't stand it anymore, and since the end of last year, thousands of people have fled to Ocean Island.
The islands of Dongjiang Town have been out of food for a long time, and Yuan Chonghuan ordered all ports in the Bohai Sea not to send a boat or boat to the Dongjiang River, and not to sell a single meter and a fish to the Dongjiang River.
There are nearly 40,000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town, distributed in Juehua, Zhenjiang, Hengshan, Jinzhou, Shepu, Gaizhou, Seri Island, Zhangziliu Island, Chengdao, Ludao, Changshan Island, Xiaochangshan Island, Wangjia Island, Mikuan Fort and other hundreds of castles and islands. There are also Liao people on the island, relatives of officers and soldiers, and Liao people who have fled, plus Tieshan in North Korea, the total number of Liao people is no less than hundreds of thousands.
Now that the supplies have been cut off all of a sudden, the military rations are not enough to eat, not to mention that there are so many mouths, how can these Liao people survive. By the beginning of spring this year, countless people had starved to death, and now the scene in Dongjiang Town can be said to be tragic.
Fortunately, when the fleet left last year, Gao Jianguo left all the compressed biscuits and canned food, as well as a large amount of grain, and the two armed fishing boats could also go to the sea to fish, so they did not have to worry about eating and drinking.
Now even Wang Bo on the island, the Ming army, and the people from several fishing villages on the island are pointing to their grain. Many people who came to Ocean Island last year, knowing that it once fed tens of thousands of displaced people, came here when they were so hungry that they came here.
As more and more Liao people arrived here, He Ping couldn't hold on. If this continues, even they will have to go hungry. But seeing the miserable Liao people, they really couldn't refuse ruthlessly.
In the end, the Ming army on the island stood up with Wang Bo, and he led his men to block the outside of Ocean Island every day, and when he saw the fleet that wanted to enter the island, he rushed over and drove people away, regardless of the crying of those miserable Liao people, which alleviated the continuous flow of displaced people.
He Ping and the others also hid on the island out of sight, leaving Wang Bo and them to get it. They don't have the ability of this group of Ming soldiers, no matter how miserable the people they encounter, they can be ruthless.
Even the military leaders of the various islands in Dongjiang Town wanted to come here to get some oil and water, but they were scared away by He Ping's fire, and after April, even their own grain stocks were at the bottom, and the two armed fishing boats were unable to go out to sea to fish because of the lack of diesel fuel.
Faced with this dilemma, He Ping had no choice but to supply a limited amount, and each Liao people only gave one bowl of thin food every day, and even they ate one dry and one thin every day. If the fleet doesn't come again, he will have to go up the hill and dig the grassroots.
He Ping sat on the big stone next to the gun emplacement on the mountain, smoking a cigarette while looking at the sea in the distance, hoping that the company's fleet would appear in the next moment, but he had been sitting here for most of the day, and he didn't even see a sampan.
At this time, Wang Bo ran up, and when he saw He Ping, he nodded and smiled: "Brother, sit here, I went to Changshan Island today, and people die every day, that miserable ......"
After speaking, he took the cigarette He Ping handed him, flattered and asked He Ping to light it, and then continued: "When will Brother Song and that noble man come, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive here." ”
Although He Ping was anxious, he smiled and said: "It's okay, that is, I'm not in a hurry for half a day, what are you afraid of." ”
Wang Bo laughed with him, but he slandered in his heart, if you are not in a hurry, you can still sit here every day and blow the wind, and believe that you and I are the mallet. But he didn't dare to say it, now he was pointing to this master, fortunately he caught up with this group of overseas people, otherwise this winter, many people would have to starve to death on Ocean Island.
The two talked here for a while, He Ping glanced at the sea in the distance again, and then said to Wang Bo with a smile: "I'm going back, there is still a mess down there." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain, and before he had taken a few steps, he heard Wang Bo behind him shout loudly: "Brother, do you see if there is a boat in the distance......
When He Ping heard this, he immediately ran back and took out his binoculars to look at it. "Haha...... It's finally here, haha......"
He put down his binoculars and hurried down the hill, running to the bay camp at the foot of the mountain in one go. Recently, the brothers in the platoon were as anxious as he was, hoping that the fleet would arrive one day sooner.
By the time the two landing ships sailed into the bay, the shore was already full. He Ping and the soldiers in the platoon, Wang Bo and his subordinates Ming Jun, as well as Sun Tong of the fishing village and the people in the village.
The arrival of the fleet was not only happy for He Ping, but also for Wang Bo and Sun Tong. Even if they are stupid, they know that there is not much food on the island, and they are very aware of the current situation in Dongjiang Town, if it weren't for these overseas people, whether they would be able to survive this winter is a matter of two words.
When two huge landing ships rushed to the beach, the first battalion of the instructor came down one after another from the front tongue gate. When they came to the shore, they immediately began to form a formation, a team of several hundred people, and in an instant they were lined up in a majestic formation.
The soldiers were upright and straight, their eyes did not squint, and the bayonets of the forest flashed with the cold light, filled with a murderous aura, which quickly spread around them.
Wang Bo and a group of Ming soldiers were also veterans who had seen blood in battle, but they were all suppressed. Several veterans came to Wang Bo's side and muttered quietly.
"Master, these soldiers are amazing, even Marshal Mao's own soldiers don't have this momentum."
"This soldier's eyes are not floating, he has seen blood at a glance, and no matter how big the battle is, it will not be chaotic."
"Where did they recruit so many good soldiers, all of them are mighty, even if these hundreds of people meet the Tartars, they won't be much worse."
Wang Bo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You know a fart, these soldiers are the Liao people we brought back last year, and I still know a few of them." ”
When a few veteran ruffians heard this, they were stupid at the time.
"What are you talking about, sir...... Don't scare us, just those turtles, I can't practice this momentum for a few more years, I can be regarded as a soldier and have eaten food for more than ten years, and I have beheaded a few heads, but I feel panicked when I see these soldiers. ”
"Yes, master, you are wrong, how long has it been, this is less than a year, even if Grandpa Qi goes down to earth, he doesn't have the ability."
Wang Bo's heart also set off a monstrous wave, what is the origin of these overseas people, if you want to say that they are pirates, even he doesn't believe it, but their strength, even if the Tartars meet them, they are not opponents.
Sun Tong was also from the Ming Army, and the shock in his heart was no less than that of Wang Bo, he turned his head to look at his son beside him, and found that Shui Sheng was looking at those soldiers with fiery eyes. He sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
