Chapter 1208
The dark shadow of sail gradually appeared on the sea level, which finally made the stone in Huang Yuanchang's heart land. As long as this army did not encounter God's difficulties at sea, it can be said that the entire battle was accomplished by most of the battle. The total number of troops in Dengzhou, Jeju and Jinling now is only one division. When this elite army appears on this land, the shock power it brings to the north is conceivable.
The one who came was Cheng Dayou's fleet. Due to the changes in wind direction, the fleet was delayed for three hours before reaching the target location, but this is already quite accurate. Ships on the sea are not comparable to land marching. Any changes may occur in the vast sea. Sometimes it is normal to drag for a day or two.
The moment he stepped onto the land, Cheng Dayou truly felt that his trip had been completely successful. The feeling of being indifferent on the sea always made people feel uncertain. Because the huge fleet was a recruited civilian ship, some small situations and failures occurred from time to time. Although they were quickly resolved and discharged, Cheng Dayou still felt that something might happen at any time. Until this moment, when he stepped on the hard land, he felt that only at this time could he control his own destiny.
As the bow of the ship continued to dock, soldiers who had been tortured by the wind and waves for two days began to get off the ship one after another. On the ship, soldiers who were like chickens and ducks, quickly adapted to the situation as soon as they got ashore. Perhaps the earth energy could make people recover immediately, and the soldiers immediately began to line up in high spirits. The entire landing shore was filled with lively scenes of people shouting and neighing horses. At this time, there was no need to hide it. The intelligence department had already arranged everything that was arranged, and the necessary logistics supplies had already been transported in place. As long as you get off the ship and rest for a while, a murderous tiger and wolf army will appear in the hinterland of the East China Sea.
There are two attack lines in front of Cheng Dayou, one is to go north and directly enter Dengzhou, and the other is to go south and quickly attack Jinling. According to the original plan, Cheng Dayou and Liang Chongxin both tend to attack Jinling Prefecture City to allow Jinling Prefecture to integrate with the entire Jiangnan alliance. In this way, the Jiangnan army can cross the Shanjiang defense line unscrupulously, and the entire East China Sea situation can be immediately clear, but the difficulty lies in the fact that Situ Tai's cavalry troops along the river defense line, and Jinling Prefecture City is stationed by the Fifteenth Army. Although the combat effectiveness of this division is suspicious, it is obviously difficult to conquer Jinling City, which is known as dragon-panning and tiger-squareled with a one-to-one ratio, unless there is an internal support within Jinling Prefecture City.
Originally, the intelligence department had made quite sufficient arrangements in Jinling City. As long as the assault troops reached the city with lightning speed, the inner circle of the city would open the west gate to meet the troops into the city, but the news came from the city made the fate of the assault troops slim. Jinling City had already begun martial law. Although it was unlikely to be targeted at this raid, Cheng Dayou doubted whether the forces organized by the merchants could dare to launch an uprising under such circumstances. If this surprise attack could not be taken down Jinling City, the whole situation would inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation. A division was alone. Although the East China Sea had already hated Situ Tai's rule, Cheng Dayou understood the fickleness and timidity of the merchants very thoroughly. Under the threat of the high pressure of the army, it was difficult for them to have many excellent performances worth considering.
However, going north to Dengzhou also faces huge risks. Although Dengzhou only has a very weak defensive force, Cheng Dayou's assault force can certainly overcome Dengzhou in one fell swoop, but to the north of Dengzhou is Situ Tai's old nest Yanyun territory, and the Japanese have already had a very deep foundation in Dengzhou. If they make a quick move, it is hard to say what kind of reaction Situ Tai and the Japanese will react.
The same huge risks of the two lines made Cheng Dayou hesitate. This was something he had not expected before the war, especially the latest intelligence reaction from the intelligence department. Some Japanese troops began to land along the junction of Dengzhou and Yanshan. Although the scale was not very large and had not entered the vicinity of Dengzhou Prefecture, this was enough to prove that Situ Tai was now crazy and was about to join forces with the Japanese. Cheng Dayou didn't know what the Japanese were trying to intervene in the situation of the imperial continent at this time. Before that, the Japanese had given more support to the north in intelligence and funds. But now that the situation was becoming clearer, the Japanese also began to use their troops to enter the mainland directly. This was the first time that the world had opened up.
Cheng Dayou was a little doubtful if the Japanese wanted to test the attitude of Western Xinjiang and also used their own army's strength to test the combat effectiveness of the Western Xinjiang army. Obviously, they did not have any confidence to defeat Western Xinjiang, otherwise they would not choose to enter the mainland at this time. But this is also a signal that the Japanese would never want to see His Highness the King of Qin unify the empire. They would use various means to obstruct His Highness the King of Qin's unification plan. The unification of His Highness the King of Qin will directly threaten the sovereignty of the coastal islands that they have reached a secret agreement with Situ Tai. At this time, is it a good strategy to send troops to Dengzhou?
Moreover, the login site I chose was also intended to set out secretly, and the intelligence department also arranged relatively complete logistics support for this. If I wanted to go north to Dengzhou, all this would be without any guarantee, which is also a big problem.
Looking at the soldiers who were disembarking one after another, Cheng Dayou suddenly turned his head and said firmly: "Order all departments that have not yet disembarked to suspend their disembarkation, and all departments that have already disembarked will immediately organize transport and replenish supplies on board."
The officers standing next to Cheng Dayou were not only stunned, but also stunned, not knowing why the head coach suddenly issued such an order. Could it be that these unfavorable news from the intelligence department have backed down the head coach who has never been afraid of?
"Didn't you hear it clearly? Do you want me to issue another order?" The voice suddenly turned sharply. Although Cheng Dayou's face was still not so good-looking, his attitude was firm in his words.
"Master, can we just retreat in shame? Even if Jinling Prefecture City is not taken, we can still fight guerrilla warfare here. The people here are in charge. We can make a stand here, and we can even keep inviting to attack east and meet with our other divisions!" Among the officers, the leader was obviously the leader.
"Who said I'm going back?" Cheng Dayou roared angrily, "Hurry up and get on the boat, let the brothers persevere for one day, and I will sweep Dengzhou and Jeju within a week!"
No one knew whether Cheng Dayou was stimulated or other reasons. With the shouts of the officers, the reluctant soldiers had to grit their teeth and return to the ship that made them feel in pain. The large number of supplies prepared by the intelligence department that were originally used to raid Jinling were also carried onto the ship. A landing battle that seemed quite perfect was completely deviated from the track.
On October 19, 699, the mainland Gregorian calendar, Cheng Dayou personally led the 1st Division of the Eighth Army and its direct troops to force landed 60 miles south of Dengzhou. 30% of the ships were damaged and could not set sail and return. The 1st Division of the Eighth Army, which had no scruples, rushed into the unprevented Dengzhou Fucheng. Three hours later, the Golden Peng flag had been raised. In this battle, the damage caused to the 1st Division of the Eighth Army of the Western Frontier Army was only injured. Two of them were accidentally injured while driving the transport vehicle. The other fell into the ditch and fell below the head because of excessive excitement.
On October 24, 699, Cheng Dayou confirmed that the entire Donghai County had no resistance, and left more than 4,000 troops directly under the Eighth Legion to guard Dengzhou, he personally led the First Division troops to Jeju. Jeju, who had no intention of resisting, announced that the flag was changed on the same day, and Jeju officially came under the rule of His Highness the King of Qin in the Western Front.
Cheng Dayou's series of landing battles, like a storm, swept to the hinterland of the East China Sea like a flood, allowing the entire empire to feel the shock brought by this crazy guy again. It was like a knife cut the entire Situ Tai's controlled area into two sections. The fall of the North East China Sea directly led to the chaos in the entire Donghai County. Liang Chongxin, who originally planned to go north to invite the city guards, keenly discovered this opportunity. His decisive orders had already set foot on the northward journey to the journey to the north to change the direction of the marching and turn eastward, and joined forces with the remaining troops of the Eighth Corps to attack the Luyang Prefecture City. On October 29, after a day of hard fighting, Luyang fell, and the two divisions of the 15th Corps collapsed, and Luyang officially announced his incorporation into the territory of the Western Xinjiang. On October 31, the two divisions of the 15th Corps stationed in Pengcheng surrendered in a desperate situation, and Pengcheng announced his surrender to the Western Xinjiang.
Just like the unstoppable flood in the east, the shocking power brought by Cheng Dayou's Dengzhou landing operation far exceeds the value of its own landing. His military operations in Dengzhou and Jeju won the enthusiastic support of the people of the two places. This is certainly inseparable from the early activities of the intelligence department, but more importantly, it shows that the hearts of the entire East China Sea have turned, and Situ Tai's rule here is like a paper lantern, which can be broken at a glance. In fact, it proves this point. When Liang Chongxin led the First Legion and the Eighth Legion to defeat the last bit of confidence of the 15th Legion in Luyang, the situation of the entire East China Sea liberation is irreversible.
