Chapter 401 The landing is gradually advanced
"Quick, quick, quick, don't worry about whether the comrades around you are in the same class as yours, follow the regulations in advance training and look at the epaulettes! Obey the command of the superior officer, complete the assembly quickly, and then follow the superior officer!"
On the coast of Incheon, Luo Xiong, who was wearing a yellow-green camouflage uniform with two stripes and two stars on his shoulders, was shouting loudly to the soldiers who had just disembarked and were still a little dazed. Officers of about the same rank as him, at this time
They are all basically doing the same thing in different parts of this beach.
Just as the officers from all walks of life were trying their best to gather the soldiers, at 6:45 in the morning, a loud noise suddenly came from the Japanese position.
"This sound, tmd, the Japanese pirates' cannon has also been fired."
Glancing behind him, he saw that a large number of infantry were still disembarking, and it was still unknown when our heavy equipment would arrive. Luo Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, follow me, get on!"
"yes!"
Under the leadership of Luo Xiong, more than a hundred Ming army soldiers began to run forward with guns in hand. As he ran like this, another officer in the distance began to run forward with dozens of soldiers. Then this behavior was as follows
The ripples continued to expand, and finally, at 6:55, a total of nearly a thousand Ming soldiers attacked the Japanese army's first line of defense on the coast.
"Boom~boom~" In the Japanese trenches, sparse flintlock shots rang out. Seven or eight of the charging Ming army soldiers fell down. However, this intensity of firepower could not stop the Ming army's advance.
, watching the trench approaching, in the eyes of Luo Xiong and others, the panicked eyes of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side came into view.
The sound of "booming" shelling became more and more frequent, but these shellings had no impact on Luo Xiong and others who had already charged to the front of the enemy's trenches. However, after the Japanese artillery fired one after another, it did have a great impact on the follow-up.
The army's follow-up caused a lot of trouble.
"Brothers, the Japanese cannonballs are falling behind us now. If we don't take this trench, we will all die here! We have all the grenades, ready!"
"Damn! The opponent's grenades are coming too, stay down!"
In the short explosion, both sides threw a round of grenades at each other. After paying some casualties to each other, the soldiers on both sides who did not fall put their bayonets on the heads of their guns with a "clang clang", and then each let out a cry.
Shouting, hand-to-hand combat began.
There were about 800 people who rushed here by the Ming army at this time, and they were all the bravest warriors in the army. Although the Japanese troops who rushed out of the trenches at this time were also elite, they were small in number, only five
Six hundred people. On the other hand, he was too short. With his short head, his hands and feet were naturally short. So when they used bayonets, the Japanese army naturally suffered a big loss!
After a short but fierce fight between the two sides, the Japanese army left more than a hundred corpses and retreated hastily. Luo Xiong led his team in pursuit for only a few dozen meters, when another batch of artillery shells hit the rear of the Japanese army: this batch
The target of the artillery shells was not at their rear, but directly towards them. More than twenty Ming soldiers and a dozen Japanese soldiers who were running at the end were knocked down by these artillery shells at the same time.
"Hiss~" Luo Xiong, whose arm was cut open by flying shrapnel, endured the severe pain: "It's actually a shotgun, brothers, please retreat to the trench and hold on!"
After the Ming army that was able to rush out retreated to the trench they had just occupied, Luo Xiong grabbed the soldiers who were following him and asked, "Where are our cannons?"
"Boom~!"
Another burst of gunfire came, this time it was a solid bullet. After the huge iron ball hit the ground, it stirred up a lot of soil debris, which blocked the soldier's words.
"Ah? What did you just say?"
The soldiers, whose ears were also ringing, shouted at the top of their lungs: "General, the ship carrying our equipment hasn't come up yet! When my subordinates rushed over, they didn't see any cannons coming ashore."
"Tmd, the difficulty of landing while being blocked here is much more troublesome than the uninterrupted landing in Siam. Where are the messengers, the messengers!"
"General, my subordinates are here."
"Go and send an order, let the brothers who come up from behind spread out along this trench. Don't be busy charging and saving up your strength. md The Japanese pirates' second line of defense will definitely have all the manpower in place. If our cannons can't come up,
, it really has to be replaced by human life."
Just when Luo Xiong reluctantly stopped charging, fifteen kilometers away in a straight line due north of the Incheon landing site, Jurchen and Toyotomi troops were also disembarking.
This place is the outlet of the Han River. As a river flowing up and down at 36° north latitude, the Han River is frozen in winter. However, starting from its outlet, it goes upstream for about fifteen or six kilometers, but because of the sea water
There was no freezing. Therefore, after the Jurchen and Toyotomi troops disembarked, the actual distance between them and Incheon was only about 20 kilometers. The distance from Seoul was also only about 20 kilometers.
According to the prior agreement, the Jurchen troops will advance along the south bank of the frozen Han River to block the reinforcements heading from Seoul to Incheon. The Toyotomi clan's troops will advance in a straight line towards Incheon to gain access to the Incheon defenders.
Put a knife in the back.
There were no Japanese troops stationed here, and the few lookout posts ran away when they saw such a large-scale army landing and fired off signal flares. Therefore, compared with the dilemma of the Ming army on the Incheon coast at this time, these two troops
The login is very smooth.
As armies in the medieval era, these two armies basically had people disembarking from the ship, which meant that all the equipment was disembarked. So the landing started at 7 a.m., and by 9:50 a.m., there were 12,000 people.
The troops were already deployed on the snowfield.
Looking at the Toyotomi troops advancing rapidly south, Chu Ying turned around: "Everyone, I won't say more. The Japanese will definitely not survive this time, and they will not be able to count on them in the future. If we win this battle
If we don't fight well, the Ming Dynasty will accuse us and further persecute us. Therefore, in today's battle, everyone must use all their strength, and don't think about conserving strength. The Jurchen Sutra
I can’t afford to bother anymore!”
"Don't worry, Chu Ying. You don't need to tell me this time. We all know what to do. We all understand the principles taught by the Han people who came to teach in the tribe over the years."
"Okay, let's follow the old way of our Jurchens. The unarmored soldiers explore the way in the front, the white armored soldiers in the middle, and finally our personal troops. By the way, the Japanese gave us so many flintlock rifles back then, okay?
As you can imagine, they will only have more flintlock guns in their hands. Tell the slaves to work harder and bring those big skinned shields with them."
"Yes, let's do it!"
"In this expedition, the governor of Liaodong supported each of our ministries with 300 flintlock guns. I will first take out the 300 people here and give them all to Jierhalang's command. Everyone, do you still remember the battle of Sarhu?
Right? The fusiliers still have to be concentrated to be powerful."
"Understood, we also put all the fusiliers under the command of Jierhalang."
"Thank you all. Jilharang, you will lead these 1,800 people in front of the white-armored soldiers later. If the enemy we encounter later is like the soldiers of the Toyotomi family just now who mainly use swords and guns,
Then our white armors will go up directly. If they are fusiliers, they will have to rely on you."
