Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Amami Bay, on the hill marked as Highland 101.

    Ximen Qing, who had been promoted to the leader of the reconnaissance squadron, and several marines were lying motionless in the dense grass. They were wearing coats with yellow-green cloth and hemp ropes, and they were also wearing the same hats.  , and the surrounding area is dotted with leaves and grass.  This is a camouflage technique learned in the land warfare class at the Coast Guard School. It can effectively segment the outline of the human body, simulate natural plants, and blend into the background of mainly weeds and shrubs.

    The investigation team he led was specifically designed to monitor the Yamashita Ryukyu military camp.  In addition, there are more than ten reconnaissance teams scattered around the highlands to ensure that once Ryukyu soldiers go up the mountain to alert, they can be discovered as soon as possible.

    He planned that if the number of Ryukyu soldiers coming was small, they would just use short crossbows to deal with them silently.  If there are too many people, the main force should be reminded not to be exposed as much as possible Ximen Qing surveyed the terrain, allocated troops according to the drill, and formulated a plan.

    But who would have thought that at this point, not a single Ryukyu soldier has gone up the mountain!

    The threat to the Marines lurking in the highlands actually comes from mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in the mountains

    ¡®What¡¯s wrong with this?  ¡¯ Ximen Qing swatted the mosquitoes from his neck and cursed secretly.  Even pirates know how to send people to look out!  Why are these Ryukyu people so trusting?  All his plans were wrong.

    "As everyone knows, King Shang Yuan has already killed the thieves on the island and recruited the young men into the royal army.  The remaining old, weak, sick, women and children no longer pose a threat.  King Shang Yuan, who loved his soldiers as his own son, naturally did not force the soldiers and went to stand guard on the hills four or five miles away.

    We are about to sail home soon. What if we run far away and land on a big island and are eaten by the natives?  Therefore, the Ryukyu soldiers consciously only patrolled near the camp.

    Work must be done in front of the leader!

    But who would have thought that there are enemies on the other side of the mountain?

    ??~~

    "Captain, why haven't they set off yet" The scouts on the side also waited impatiently.  "My legs are numb from squatting."

    "I guess their king is a talker just like Director Liu." Ximen Qing insulted the police director who was working with him and continued to monitor with binoculars.  Suddenly he shouted in a low voice: "After speaking, let's start boarding the ship! Quick, send the signal!"

    The scout quickly and quietly retreated to the hillside, took out a small mirror, and reflected the dazzling sunlight on the Pacific Ocean to the warships waiting silently in the fjord.

    There are lookouts on each warship watching the high ground. When they see the signal, they immediately begin to unmoor the anchor and prepare to set off.

    When the scout sends the signal for the second time, it means that the Ryukyu Army has completed boarding the ship, and the fleet has unmoored the anchor and set sail, ready to set sail.

    "Raise the sails!" Haldi gave the order, and the police officers on the 102 ship took the lead in turning the noose and slowly raising the sails.

    Ship 102 is a Western-style warship built entirely after the Oriental Beauty.  Soon, more than a dozen sails were swaying in the wind, powerfully pushing the warship slowly towards the mouth of the bay.

    Seeing this, the other warships also raised their sails and took advantage of the wind to follow the 102 ship!

    The geography course at the Coast Guard School told them that Ryukyu is controlled by the Pacific subtropical high pressure, and the southeast monsoon prevails in summer!  Therefore, Wang Rulong arranged the first-line blocking cluster in Jinjiubang in order to gain the upper hand so that the fleet could start quickly and be in place quickly!

    The Marine Corps ambushing on the northern slope of Highland 101 also began to march down the mountain in an orderly manner from the south side of the mountain to the natural harbor on the other side of Amami Bay.

    The scorching sun on the Pacific Ocean is unobstructed and shines brightly onto the earth.

    On such a hot day, each of the Marines was carrying nearly 30 kilograms of firearms, ammunition, rockets, water bottles, dry food bags and other equipment, but they were still able to fly as fast as they could.  It all depends on the rigorous training in daily life, especially the foundation laid by a five-kilometer armed cross-country trip at the Coast Guard School.

    "Hurry, catch up!" Captain Wu Da of the Marine Corps also marched with his subordinates. He swung his long legs and led the way easily, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our Marines are exposed.  It¡¯s not easy to be brave, no one can hold me back! Speed ??up and occupy the position!¡±

    "Yes!" the Marines responded enthusiastically, speeding up again.

    ??~~

    On the sea, the Ryukyu fleet was using its oars and sails together, guarding King Shang Yuan's ship and sailing towards the mouth of the bay.

    Strong ocean currents and monsoons are a strong boost when they come, but they become a huge resistance on the return journey. Therefore, Ryukyu ships are equipped with eight to twelve oars and oars to ensure that they can sail back to Naha.

    The King of Ryukyu's ship, the "Sanshan Unification" ship, is equipped with twenty oars and oars. Each giant oar is rowed by four oarsmen, and each large oar is also driven by two oars.nbsp; "It's too late. Our ultimatum has passed, and we cannot break our promises." Haldi said solemnly: "I order you to surrender immediately before the deadline, otherwise we will launch an attack!"

    "You can't do this. My king is the vassal king of the Celestial Dynasty, so he is like the grandson of heaven. How can you use weapons against my king?!" Mei Shimang protested.

    "If you really regard yourself as the king of the Celestial Dynasty, you won't be so indifferent to our ultimatum." Haldi snorted coldly and reminded him kindly: "I am only acting under orders and have no right to make my own decisions. I advise you not to waste your time here.  It¡¯s time to go back and inform your king.¡±

    As he spoke, he pointed to the sun in the sky.

    "This, alas" Mei Shimang had no choice but to go.

    After he returned to the Sanshan Yitong Ship and reported the situation to King Shangyuan, Ma Deshun and others hurriedly advised: "Now please ask the king to withdraw to the island and leave the navy to confront them. If it takes a long time, the other side will naturally  went."

    King Shang Yuan thought about it, it was too dangerous at sea.  The other party's ship is full of densely packed gun muzzles. It would be a disaster if it accidentally hurts itself.

    He was about to make another false concession, saying that he would live and die with the soldiers to save face.

    But I heard Xie Liting, the navy commander, exclaim again.  "Your Majesty, look at the shore!"

    King Shangyuan followed the sound and saw an army in green uniforms, which appeared at the harbor where they set out at some point. Their intentions could not be more obvious

    The four words ¡®turtle in an urn¡¯ suddenly appeared in King Shang Yuan¡¯s mind, making him feel a sense of panic, mixed with inexplicable shame.
