Chapter 181: Surprise Attack on Lishui
For such a sumptuous lunch, a group of soldiers and ruffians were not polite, and each of them ate a few large bowls of white rice, even if they died, they had to be full of dead ghosts. For the upcoming war, in fact, they don't take it very seriously, and aren't they all desperate where they are soldiers and eat food.
They are all men who have fought with the Tartars and seen blood, especially the Ming troops in Liaozhen and Dongjiang Town, many of whom crawled out of the pile of dead people. In fact, it really doesn't matter to them that the Ming army defeats the battle, and if a group of literati can lead the troops to win the battle, then it will be a ghost.
In the afternoon, Zhou Weifan wore a Soviet-style training uniform and walked out of the purification center with Zhao Si, Zhao Si looked at the clothes on his body happily, as well as a pair of Soviet-style leather boots on his feet.
"Brother, these overseas people are really extraordinary, just this military robe and combat boots cost a lot of silver, you look at the boots, it's so fucking comfortable. It's cold in the crotch of this pants, and it's the first time in so many years that it's a light bird. β
Zhou Weifan touched his bare scalp, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. Today he was shaved clean, took his first bath in several years, and got dressed. He touched the military kettle and military satchel on his body, and he also looked like he couldn't put it down.
These two things alone already amazed him, and they were so ingenious. Especially the kettle, I don't know what kind of iron it is made of, not only is it lightweight, but it also carries a lunch box and spoon, these overseas people are really amazing.
The next three days. [It's also big fish and big meat, and it almost didn't kill these Ming army ruffians.] But on the last night, a dozen large ships came to the harbor next to the camp. These ruffians knew that they were about to go on the march.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Kefan and the others were called up, got on a big iron boat and left Jeju Island. In the early morning, the fleet arrived at the port of Yeosu in Gyeongnam-do, where hundreds of Korean warships were gathered, and two or three hundred civilian ships were also anchored here.
Because Jeju Island was occupied by a group of pirates, Korean sailors from all over the country gathered at Yeosu Port, and a large number of Korean soldiers and horses also came from the southern four provinces. Set up camp on the shore next to the harbor.
The Admiralty had already done a thorough reconnaissance before. After receiving the intelligence information of Yeosu Port, he formulated a battle plan for the raid on Yeosu Port.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was just dawning, and the assault fleet consisting of three landing ships, two whaling ships, and two landing craft easily rushed into the harbor. The fleet raid was a success.
As soon as a few North Korean soldiers walked out of the camp, they saw several behemoths already driving over. They were stunned. Hurriedly shouted loudly.
The entire North Korean camp was suddenly in chaos. The docks were full of fleeing North Korean sailors. Some North Korean generals are trying to organize their troops, but those giant ships at sea have already opened fire.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
More than a dozen D-30 howitzers roared violently, and one 122-millimeter grenade exploded in the North Korean camp. The corpses of countless North Korean sergeants and fragments of camp tents. As if swept away by a strong wind, they scattered in all directions.
The entire Korean battalion was in chaos, and the two landing ships were the first to rush into the harbor, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired frantically, beating some Korean sailors who wanted to rush ashore to the warships and falling into the sea one after another.
The D-30 howitzers stopped shelling after only one round, because there was no need to fight again, and the North Korean army had already bombed the camp, scattered like sheep, and ran towards Yeosu Fortress in the distance.
Only the light and heavy machine guns on the ship were still violently spitting fire snakes, and the sky-high bullets were frantically harvesting the lives of the North Korean soldiers on the shore.
Zhou Weifan, Zhao Si and many Liaodong soldiers were lying on the deck of the landing ship, stunned by the terrifying scene in front of them. They are also people who have seen battles and fought with Tartars, when have they experienced such a scene!
"Brother, what kind of firearm is this, what kind of war is this, what kind of sheep is this...... Oh my God, if we had such a guy back then, we wouldn't have to spend so many brothers to fill it in. β
Zhou Weifan didn't speak, just shook his head incredibly, although he knew that these overseas people were strong, but he didn't expect to be so strong. If these overseas people have this strength, then the world will be ......
The hull shook violently, waking the ruffians from their stupor. The landing ship rushed to the beach, and as soon as the huge front tongue door opened, a BTR-60 armored car rushed out of the landing ship first, followed by a 105-mm recoilless gun carriage and a jeep.
Zhou Weifan and his company also disembarked from the boat, arranged a simple queue on the shore, and were then led by several soldiers of the teaching team to the empty North Korean camp.
Several thousand Korean troops stationed here were scattered and fled by the guns of the landing ships, abandoning a large amount of supplies, including more than 100,000 catties of military rations alone, and countless tents, artillery guns, knives, guns, weapons, and gunpowder cannons.
Zhou Weifan and the others didn't have a blade yet, so they all picked up a waist knife on the ground and hung it on their belts. Then they packed up in the big camp. Zhao Si held a large bundle of spears and said with a smile: "They asked us to come, it seems that they really let us be auxiliaries, haha...... Don't be desperate. β
A soldier next to him snorted coldly and said, "Hmph...... Maybe, don't you see that they haven't attacked the city yet? When we're done, we'll have to be the dead soldiers besieging the city for a while. β
Hearing this person's words, Zhou Weifan and Zhao Si's faces darkened.
Zhao Si slammed the spear in his hand to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Isn't it just desperate, Lao Tzu and Tartar have seen so many battles, when did they not crawl out of the pile of dead people, are you still afraid of death." Follow them desperately, maybe you can mix up a future, Lao Tzu is content. β
When Zhou Weifan and the others packed up the camp, and then loaded all kinds of food and materials into the cart and pushed out of the North Korean army camp, they saw several queues in front of them, and they were standing there neatly.
Zhou Weifan has also been trained by the teaching team for a few days, and he also understands a little about the military system of these overseas people. According to the square team, there should be 8 companies, of which five companies are Japanese companies and three are Liaomin companies. There are also six small cannons next to it, which should be similar to the Tiger Cannon, but smaller and more refined, and the power should not be great.
Zhou Weifan was loading food on the boat while looking at the soldiers of these teams. Half a day had passed, and there was no one in the queue who was moving. And a group of warriors all wore all their equipment, put on steel helmets, grimaces, and looked murderous.
Those Japanese warriors even exuded an extremely violent aura, like a group of devils coming out of hell, making the Liaodong soldiers in the distance feel eerie, making their scalps explode and their backs cold.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Ming walked to the front of the queue and said coldly: "We originally wanted to negotiate with them, but they gave up this opportunity. Then they won't have a chance to talk to us again, and take it according to the predetermined plan. β
After speaking, he looked back at the city wall in the distance, then turned his head and said, "Fujita, are the commandos ready?" β
Fujita stepped out of the queue, bowed violently, and shouted loudly, "General, I will personally lead the assault team and take Yeosu City for you." β
Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay! He is worthy of the most courageous fighters of our Far Eastern Army. Good news for you, this battle is over, and the Death Army Brigade will be expanded, waiting for promotion, haha......"
Listening to Li Ming's words, Fujita was so excited that he bowed vigorously, and his head was about to hit the ground. Li Ming turned around and shouted to Wang Yaowu next to him, "Start attacking!" β
"Bang...... Bang ......"
Six mortars took the lead in firing, and it was directly three rounds of rapid fire, and one by one 82 mm mortar shells crossed several beautiful curves in the air, and fell to the head of the city of Lishuicheng, and then exploded.
This was followed by six 70-mm infantry guns of the 1st Battalion Artillery Company of the Teaching Team, and this was also the first time that the Artillery Company of the Teaching Team participated in the battle. Everyone was very nervous, and at such a close distance, the artillery observation team of the command platoon composed of recruits calculated several times.
The hard work paid off, their efforts were not in vain, all six infantry guns hit the first shot, and they all hit the city wall more than 1,000 meters away, and then fought a few more rounds, and slowly relaxed.
After only a few rounds of fighting, the city of Yeosu City was already full of corpses, and the remaining Korean soldiers scattered in a hurry and fled from the city.
Wang Yaowu saw that the city head had been cleared, and shouted into the earphones: "Stop the shelling, stop the shelling, the daring army brigade will start attacking, and the 105mm recoilless gun will attack the city gate." β
Fujita "snorted", pulled out his katana from behind his back, pointed forward very forcefully, and then took the lead in walking forward, and the more than 400 daredevils behind him also drew their swords and followed behind him. Three BTR-armored transport vehicles and three jeeps were responsible for protecting the two sides of the Death Brigade, but there was still a dead silence at the head of Yeosu City.
When the Daredevils Brigade was still more than 200 meters away from the city gate, three 105-mm recoilless guns suddenly roared, and three high-explosive grenades smashed on the city gate of Lishui City.
The thick gates of the city, like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, shattered with a bang and torn apart by three shells. Three BTR-armored transport vehicles suddenly picked up speed and rushed into the city gates with a roar.
The North Korean defenders guarding the city gate were killed and wounded by 105-mm recoilless guns, and the rest were also stunned, and when the three armored vehicles rushed in, they did not even react at all.
Several North Korean sergeants stood at the gate of the city in a daze, and were violently knocked into the air by the No. 1 armored car, and the hundreds of North Korean soldiers on the opposite side saw a steel monster suddenly rushing in, and they turned around and fled in fright.
However, the 14.5 mm heavy machine guns and 7.62 mm side-by-side machine guns in the turrets of armored vehicles began to fire frantically, and many North Korean soldiers were beaten to pieces by the 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns. (To be continued......)
