Chapter 1423

The main force of the Sikkim Navy on Dashu Island has advanced north and east. On the one hand, it has expanded its surveillance scope. On the other hand, it is constantly engaging in small-scale conflicts and tests with the Imperial Nanyang Navy based on Samoa. At the same time, it is threatening the coastal areas from Poma Mountain to East Samoa, which has forced the Imperial Army to maintain certain pressure. Expanding the surveillance scope can indeed effectively prevent the Imperial Navy's sneak attacks, but the Sikkim Navy's monitoring capabilities on its flanks and rears have been greatly weakened. However, under the current situation, the base closest to the Sikkim Sea controlled by the Empire is Princess Island, which is too far from Sikkim. If you want to launch an attack from there, it is purely a suicide act.

Now the emergence of the secret base of Jinguan Island has broken this balance. It is not far from Jinguan Island to southern Sikkim. As long as you can escape the eyes and ears of Sikkim patrol ships on Dazhu Island, the empire can launch an unprecedented landing attack in southern Sikkim.

In order to avoid the discovery of the Sikkim Navy on Dazhu Island, Qu Bo finally chose the more dangerous one on two routes, and went straight to the south of Sikkim from the sea route west of Dazhu Island. Although it would detour nearly 100 nautical miles, it could avoid the patrol of the Sikkim Navy on Dazhu Island to the greatest extent, making the chance of success higher. Of course, the price was that this landing force had to stay at the sea for more than one day.

"Search ships are found ahead!" The lookout sent out a warning message immediately. The naval ships in front of this huge fleet immediately began to prepare for combat and found that there was nothing wrong with enemy ships. The small patrol ships were no threat to this fleet protected by the escort fleet. The escort fleet could easily destroy the other side, but what they were most worried about was that if the other party's patrol ship escaped and returned to report the news, although the main force of the Sikkim Navy had moved north to the Sikkim Strait and the coastal area, if Sikkim obtained this news, it would greatly reduce the surprising nature of this landing attack and would also affect the effect of this battle. Therefore, Liang Chongxin's request to the navy was to find that all ships would sink and not disclose the empire's landing operation. When we walked along the road, the escort fleet had sunk three Sikkim fishing boats.

There was another round of surround attack, and the people on the fishing boats didn't even have time to react, and were already sunk by rockets and catapults on the escort fleet. There was no suspense about this battle of great strength and weakness.

The fleet was moving northward perseveringly for five days and should be close to the target. Qu Bo did not deliberately understand the situation of the naval fleet and transport fleet. He believed that the other party should be more anxious and nervous than himself.

"Sir, the Navy's Pioneer Ship sent a signal that they had discovered the land and could arrive at their destination in five hours. I hope we will be ready to land." Perhaps because we waited for this news for too long, the chief of staff's words became a little trembling. The chief of staff, with a blue face, obviously could not adapt to this long-term bumpy sea, and even his eyes were deeply sunken.

"Don't be too anxious. There are five hours left. Order the brothers to start preparing two hours in advance. According to the plan, the First and Second United plays forward. We will enter Jaffna City tonight!"

Dromo stared blankly at the large black fleet in front of him. He was a relatively hardworking fisherman. The scene in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes. Didn’t it mean that the war was in the east and the military ships on Dazhu Island had already gone there? Why would such a large fleet appear here? And these ships seemed to be a little different from the ships on his side.

The fishermen next to them looked at the fleets getting closer and closer, arguing about where these fleets came from. Some said it was the new naval fleet on Dazhuan Island, and some said it was the Latin Ocean fleet from the west. However, no matter which statement seemed to be somewhat unreasonable. Fortunately, these things had nothing to do with them, and Dromo did not care.

After receiving the news, two patrol boats sailed out of Jaffna's port and headed straight for the black fleet. Obviously, Jaffna's left-behind navy did not realize that it was an enemy attack. After obtaining this news from the fishermen, they were surprised, just trying to find out whether the fishermen saw the mirage, but there was no news again after they went there.

At this time, no one could change the situation. The Tang army's naval escort fleet blatantly rushed into the port of Jaffna. The panicked Sikkim Navy could not stop the Tang army's powerful escort fleet. The Sikkim Navy, which left only a few patrol ships, had almost no highlight worth seeing except for the futile counterattack and struggle. No one had ever expected that the Tang army would pounce on the boundless Latin ocean to the west, and the navy on Dazhu Island did not discover it.

The Marine Corps' "Dragon Scale" commando rushed down from the rapid assault boat that was rapidly inserted. The Tang army, who created chaos on the dock, cooperated to set fires everywhere to attract attention. The Jaffna garrison, who had only three thousand garrisons, had not yet had time to make a correct response. The Tang army's Dragon Scale Commando had already firmly controlled the dock. The naval escort fleet began to expand to the two wings and gave up berths. The Jaffna garrison who reacted also began to attack the dock, attempting to destroy the Tang army's landing plan. At this time, the Tang army's intentions were already very obvious. Once the dock was lost, Jaffna City and even the entire Sikkim Island would fall into an unimaginable danger.

With the help of its own careful work, the Dragon Scale Commando quickly built a simple but tenacious defense line. The good terrain of the dock made it impossible for the enemy garrison to fully unfold, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Dragon Scale Commando also ensured that the garrison teams that had just reacted could not make breakthroughs in a short period of time.

As large transport ships began to dock, one brigade of Tang soldiers began to disembark in full armed manner. The first rebel completely defeated Jaffna's garrison with one charge. Although the Tang soldiers experienced five days of torture, their firm will and iron discipline created their steel-like combat effectiveness. In comparison, it was rare for Jaffna's garrison to achieve this step in such a confused and helpless situation. Facing the whistling main force of the Tang army, their only way out was to surrender.

On October 28, 700, the mainland Gregorian calendar, just as the rainy season was about to end, the Tang army finally launched the most gorgeous battle of the Second Southwest Battle. The First Division of the Tang Army's First Army set off from Jinguan Island, which was isolated overseas and headed north through the Latin Ocean, avoiding the surveillance of the Sikkim Navy on the Dazhu Island, and forcibly landed at the important port of Jaffna Port, an important port in southwest Sikkim Island. The three thousand garrisons of Jaffna Port were wiped out, and Jaffna City fell on the same day.

The Tang army landed in southern Sikkim and launched a full-scale offensive. In one day and one night, three marches rushed along the eastern coast of Sikkim for 80 miles to capture the important town of Tiklo on the eastern coast of Sikkim. Of course, this depends on the good road system on Sikkim Island. The two marches on the west road went across the central part of Sikkim Island, and captured the Kandy Pass on the important commanding heights in central Sikkim on the second day.

After defeating the small garrison troops of the Sikkim army along the way, the two armies approached Sikkim City on November 1. At this time, the top leaders of the Sikkim City Republic realized that the entire Sikkim City fell into chaos. On November 2, the Republic Guard, who was responsible for guarding Sikkim City, had a destiny battle with the First Division of the Tang Army's First Legion outside Sikkim City. The battle lasted from noon that day until sunset. The Republic Guard was completely wiped out, and the last local armed force in Sikkim was annihilated.

In addition to some senior Sikkim officials fled to Nan'an and Western Samoa, the Tang army controlled the entire Sikkim city and ordered the reigning Sikkim city republic parliament to immediately convene an emergency meeting and issue an armistice order. On November 5, the order for the withdrawal of the Sikkim city republic parliament was circulated to reach the head of Sikkim army coach Manuel, who refused to accept the order but was imprisoned by his deputy Dramak. Dramak took over the military power and announced that he would accept the order of the parliament and ordered the Sikkim army to withdraw from the Pomashan Fortress and the Kuruk Fortress.

The Sikkim army's turnaround directly led to the collapse of the defense system of the Kuruk Fortress. The Nan'an army, which had already been under tremendous pressure, could not support the fierce attack of the two Tang army legions. If it were not for the reinforcements of Sikkim mercenaries, the Kuruk Fortress would have collapsed long ago, and this behavior in Sikkim undoubtedly announced the fate of the Kuruk Fortress.

On November 8, the Nan'an army stationed in Kuruk Fortress surrendered to the Tang army under the fortress, and the Jinpeng flag of the Tang army was raised by the Kuruk Fortress. The situation of the Pomashan Fortress was similar. After the Sikkim army announced its withdrawal, the Western Samoan army of the Pomashan Fortress also took the initiative to retreat. The Nan'an army, which had lost two pillars, was unable to support it and was forced to retreat. The Tiger Guard Army conquered the Pomashan Fortress on November 9.

On November 12, the Tiger Guard Army took the lead in Nan'an Port - Nan'an Port. On November 14, a division of the Fourth Army of the Tang Army arrived in Nan'an Town. At this time, the Peninsula Allied Forces, who had already learned the news, had already retreated from Soktu and retreated into the territory of the Peninsula Allied Forces. On November 13, the Tang army re-occupied the long-lost city of Soktu.
