Chapter 497: Nanyang is our Far East
At the Manila Military Port Base, the Luzon Garrison Command, Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, and others were gathered in front of a huge sand table, studying the battle plan for going south. Gao Jianguo said in a deep voice: "The next step is to go south for the Battle of Nanyang. The Military Commission will set up the Nanyang Theater Command, with Li Ming as commander, political commissar Qiao Haipeng, and chief of staff Lin Hua. Next, I would like to ask Lin Hua to introduce the specific deployment of the Battle of Nanyang. ”
Lin Hua nodded, and then said solemnly: "The combined fleet heading south will be composed of the first and second attack fleets of the Admiralty, as well as the third and fourth guerrilla fleets temporarily formed. The First and Second Fleets are the main force of the Combined Fleet, consisting of three landing ships, eight cutting-edge sailing ships, 14 improved sailing ships, and dozens of improved sailboats, as well as dozens of clippers and sloop sloops.
The third and fourth guerrilla fleets are the support fleets of the combined fleet, which are composed of more than a dozen improved sailing ships and dozens of improved sailing ships, and are also equipped with elite pirates selected by the Zheng pirates of Fujian, Liu Xiang of the Liangguang coast, and Song Shiping of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and more than 2,000 Junk fleets composed of the Dafuku, No. 2 Fuku, Bird, and Canton.
The Marine Corps includes a field division, four overseas brigades, a Death Army Wing, three independent Death Army Brigades, and a large number of combat and logistical support units. Air support will be provided to the troops by two Cessna aircraft, two helicopters and six delta-wing aircraft. In addition, eight airships of the Air Force Department's airship detachment have arrived in Manila and will provide 24-hour air reconnaissance and communications relay support to the troops. ”
After Lin Hua introduced the composition of the participating units, he began to give a detailed introduction to the combat plan drawn up by the General Staff. Now the Dutch East India Company's maritime power in Southeast Asia has been wiped out.
Although the momentum of the Battle of Nanyang was not small, there was basically no fierce fighting, and the purpose of the Far East Company's southward movement was to benefit the Dutch colonists in various regions of Southeast Asia. Once driven out of Southeast Asia.
There is also a purpose, that is, to proclaim the great power of the Far East in Southeast Asia, and to tell the countries of Southeast Asia that the Far East will be the final word after the South Seas.
Gao Jianguo made a summary at the end of the meeting, and he said in a deep voice: "Comrades, everyone is clear about the deployment of this Nanyang Battle. I won't go into too much detail. We have mobilized such a large force, not only to sweep away the interests of the Dutch colonists in Southeast Asia, but also to take down all the strategic points in Southeast Asia, although we cannot eat such a large area in one bite, but we must control the absolute sea control in Southeast Asia. By the way, Zheng Da and Liu are both here, right? ”
Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang This is the first time they have seen so many high-ranking officials of the Far Eastern Army, they are not stupid, and they know that the legendary commander and deputy commander of the Far East have come. This time, he came to Manila with his elite pirates, hoping to find an opportunity to contact the high-level leaders of the Far East.
Two sea tyrants who originally had deep grievances. Not only put aside their hatred for each other, but they also communicated together in the past two days. European pirates ravaged the Ming coast, giving them a real glimpse of the strong ships and artillery of the Yi people, as well as the formidable combat power of the Far East.
But when they came to Manila, they learned that the Far Eastern Army and Navy had annihilated tens of thousands of people in Manila, and hundreds of large plywood ships alone had been captured. And they also saw the elite of the Far Eastern Army here, and they were deeply feared by the might of the army.
They knew it was time to make up their minds to attach themselves to the Far East as they had done in the past. It is better to simply defect to the Far East, after all, Nanyang has now become the Far East's own bathtub. And depending on the meaning of the Far East, it will be killed in the South Seas in the future.
Today they also attended a military conference in the Far East, and they were very excited when they looked at the top brass of the Far Eastern Army. The huge sand table in front of them, a group of Far Eastern troops were constantly planting small red flags on it, and finally on this huge sand table. There were dozens of small red flags planted everywhere.
Suddenly, they heard the voice of Gao Jianguo, the marshal of the Far East. The two were so excited that they didn't hear what the other party said for a while. The two of them stood there in fright, and cold sweat broke out. When the coach asked, they didn't know what they were asking. This is a big disrespect, if this is in the military tent of the Ming Dynasty, the commander will admit that you have beheaded you.
As soon as Li Ming saw the expressions of the two, he knew what was going on. So he smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, the two leaders can let you attend the meeting, that is, treat you as your own people." This time, European pirates are wreaking havoc in the South China Sea, and you are still fighting tenaciously against European pirates when your forces are so weak, and you have played the integrity of our nation. ”
Gao Jianguo also laughed and said: "Lao Zheng, you dared to use your life in the battle of Luowan, and you actually killed so many European pirates at such a disadvantage, you fought well!" Liu Dangjia is not ambiguous, and he has fought with them on the coast of Guangdong, and the men on the southeast coast are all good. In the past, I often heard the Liaodong soldiers of the Dongjiang River say that your Jiangnan soldiers were weak, but this time, you can be regarded as smoking a big-eared melon seed from those guys, although the southerners are weak, but if they are ruthless, they are still not afraid of the strong Western pirates, and they will kill them. ”
Zhengzhou Long and Liu Xiang listened to Gao Jianguo and Li Ming's words and quickly knelt down. Tears were about to fall from both of them. In the past month or so, they have injured more than 10,000 brothers, and they all went into battle in person, and Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu almost got into it.
After the war, just the bereavement and bounty cost them a lot of money, and just breaking so many ships almost cost them their lives.
But their lives were worth it, at least the commanders and lieutenants of the Far East affirmed their efforts to fight the pirates this time, which made the hearts of the two of them feel a lot more steady.
Gao Jianguo saw the expressions on their faces, walked over in person, and helped them up.
"Men have gold under their knees, and our soldiers in the Far East must have backbone, even if they kneel, they only kneel to their parents in heaven and earth. We know that the losses of the two leaders are very large, but if you follow us in the Far East, we will make up for the losses in the Far East. When you go to the port of Manila in a moment, we will have no more than thirty Western-style sailing ships for each of you, and the artillery ammunition and food supplies on board are very complete, so you can choose the elite to receive them. If we can't get the men to control these ships, we can send an instructor on board to teach you how to control the sailboats.
In addition, the Far East will also take out a part of the spoils of war from the enemy's capture and distribute it to the two masters, so as to make up for your losses this time. Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it can be regarded as a little compensation for our Far East. Don't worry, if you follow us in the Far East, you won't have to worry about not being able to earn money, and there will be a lot of wealth waiting for you in the future. ”
The two listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and they were suddenly pleasantly surprised.
That's thirty big plywood ships, each with dozens of heavy guns. The Far East's hand is too big, and it will compensate them for some of the loot, and according to the previous style of the Far East, the amount of this batch of loot will not be shabby.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw extremely responsible looks in each other's eyes. Their hearts are at war between heaven and man, constantly weighing the pros and cons. Originally, they wanted to throw them all over, but in the face of dozens of large plywood boats, both of them were a little hesitant. (To be continued......)
