Chapter 363 Entering Zamboanga

However, after getting off the ship, Li Huamei immediately returned to the image of a capable, neat and cold-faced female officer, directing soldiers into the port, ships, lined up, arranged guards, cruises and other matters, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Not at all confusing.

Then Shang Yi and others got off the boat and went ashore, led by Li Huamei to the military camp.

Zamboanga actually developed with the progress of maritime trade between the East and the West. It naturally formed along the coastal area. There was no city wall or obvious city scope demarcation. It was originally just a small fishing village by the beach. Then the slow mantle expanded from the seaside to the inland and developed into the current urban layout. During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, Zamboanga was also developed to make Zamboanga an important port at the southern end of the Luzon Islands, and here Sixty soldiers were stationed in garrison. The Spanish colonists originally planned to build a Manila-style building here, but because of their limited financial and material resources, they only built some forts along the coast and some forts on the land side. Defense against Sanbaoyan.

After the Chinese army captured Luzon and established the Luzon Governor's Office, it further increased the transformation and development of Zamboanga, because China's manpower and material resources were not comparable to that of Spanish colonists, and not only further improved Sanbao Yan's port facilities have also been renovated and planned. Now Zamboyan has more than 3,000 residents, basically Chinese, and has become an important port in the Luzon region.

Of course, the Governor's Office of Luzon also strengthened the guards of Zamboanga, and the garrison here increased to a battalion and more than doubled the coastal turrets. However, the city walls were not built in Zamboanga, because if it were just a small one, it was built. The castle did not have much effect on defending Zamboanga, but the construction of a big city was too large. In the process of transformation, it was just a small fortress built by Spain on land. It dug a trench more than four meters wide and introduced the sea water. The land defense line of Zamboyan was formed. This time, it resisted the attack of Majingdanu's army, and this trench defense line also played a great role.

Moreover, this trench was expanded relatively, leaving enough room for Sanbaoyan to develop. After Li Huamei entered Sanbaoyan, she recruited some rooms and docks in the coastal area. Therefore, after Shang Yi and his party arrived in Sanbaoyan, they all had them. If you live in a ready-made house, you don’t have to set up a camp.

After entering the military camp, Shang Yi and Cheng Gang immediately recruited commanders of each squadron to hold military meetings and arrange the next military tasks.

At this time, the results of this battle have also been revealed. In this battle, Sulu and Brunei dispatched more than 200 warships, totaling about 5,000 soldiers, while the Chinese army only dispatched the third of the Nanyang Fleet. The Fourth Fleet had a total of 37 main warships, with about 6,000 troops fighting, and as a result, they sank 74 enemy warships, captured 17, killed more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, and captured more than 600 prisoners. None of the Chinese Army's own warships were sunk, only three warships caught fire, and were seriously burned, but they could be repaired. Only sixteen soldiers were killed, and fifty-three were imitated, all of which were in the naval battle. The enemy was shot with a bow and arrow.

In fact, the two sides are not at the same level at all. Sulu and Brunei are still in the 10th century's era of bow and arrow-style naval battles. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lao Gu understands the fleet, and the Chinese army has long entered the wind. In the era of sailing and artillery, there was at least five hundred years apart, and this battle was completely out of reach.

The battle on the shore was even more one-sided. Although the total population of Majingdannu Sultanate was only more than 100,000, it was a country with a strong tribal nature. Once it was fought, the whole people would be soldiers. Therefore, this time the attack on Sanbao Yan also dispatched more than 20,000 troops, and the Chinese army was fighting against five thousand Marines.

However, although this national model can gather considerable troops, its strength is not strong, because the weapons and armor are all provided by themselves, and most people have armor, even weapons are hunting forks and hoes. Like that, it was basically a group of mobs, so naturally there was no combat power. As a result, he was beaten up by Chinese military muskets and cannons, killing 5,000 people, and capturing more than 500 people, even the border of Sanbaoyan. Without touching it, the Chinese army was killed in a row, and there were no complete casualties.

Although the enemy's strength was not strong, the achievement of such a battle also greatly increased the morale of the Chinese soldiers. Chenggang also arranged according to the plan agreed in Manila and ordered the 29th Division of the 17th Army to The land attack on Majingdanu was first equal to the enemy troops on Mindanao and stabilized their rears, and then ordered the navy to launch an attack on the Sulu Sultanate.

The Sulu Sultanate's territory is mainly the Sulu Islands, which also includes nearby islands, Palawan Island and the northern part of Kalimantan Island. The capital is located in Hele, which is Holo Island in the Sulu Islands, with a population of about twenty About ten thousand, the current king is called Baladuma.

In history, the Sulu Sultanate had a close relationship with China. In 1417, when Zheng He went to the West for the third time, Sulu Eastern King Badu Gebahala and Western King Mahala Chigelama Ding, the wife of King Dong, Badu Gebalay, and his entourage, family members, etc., came to China with Zheng He's fleet to see Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the King of King Badu Gebahar died of illness in China. Burial in Dezhou, Shandong, the eldest son, Mahan, and the king of Dong, inherited the throne. The queen of the East, Ge Benning, Badu Ge Suxing, the second son, Andulu, and the third son, Wenhala, and ten others stayed in Dezhou to guard the tomb. He has always stayed in China, but after that, Sulu never sent envoys to China. The current Sulu Sultan is the descendant of the Eastern King.

The Chinese army was mainly trying to capture the Sulu Islands, because the Sulu Islands were between Mindanao and Kalimantan and were an important springboard for attacking Kalimantan from Zamboanga.

The Sulu Islands are composed of more than 400 small islands and reefs, extending from northeast to southwest for more than 300 kilometers. They are mainly divided into three large islands and five groups of islands. The large islands are from east to west, namely Basilan Island and Huo Luo Island and Badu Badu Island, but the area of ​​the three islands is less than 1,000 square kilometers. The population of Sulu is mainly distributed on these three large islands, among which Basilan Island is only more than 30 years away from Zamboanga. A distance of kilometers, Badu Badu Island is only more than 80 kilometers away from Kalimantan Island, and Holo Island is located right in the middle of Zamboanga and Kalimantan Island.

Because the Sulu Kingdom was not strong, the Chinese army did not intend to attack from island to island, but instead captured these three islands at the same time.

Now the Chinese army gathered four squadrons in Zamboyan and the imperial fleet brought by Shang Yi. According to the organization of the Chinese Navy, the number of ships in each squadron is between twenty-five and thirty. As the main battleship, auxiliary warship, and reconnaissance communication ship, one to two second-level battleships are flagships, plus a certain number of cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and auxiliary warships are also equipped with artillery, which has a certain combat effectiveness.

The number of Li Huamei's fleet is the Fourth Squadron of the Nanyang Fleet. Since it is stationed in Luzon, it is responsible for defending the sea border and protecting maritime routes. Moreover, China and the Netherlands have always had a competitive relationship, so the entire team is maintained at forty ships.

It is an exception, but there is only one fleet that is a second-class battleship for flagships, mainly cruisers and destroyers, and the maneuverability and speed of the fleet are more important. In addition, Luzon local warships, the ship commanded by Li Huamei

There are usually more than fifty ships.

The total number of Chinese military ships in Zamboanga is 139. In addition to the army's forces, they are fully capable of attacking the Three Islands at the same time, striving to resolve the battle in the shortest time and not giving the Dutch army time to react

, then destroy Sulu, and then based on these three islands, launch an attack on Kalimantan Island, preparing for a decisive battle with the Dutch fleet.

Therefore, Cheng Gang finally made a dispatch, with the first, third squadrons of the Nanyang Fleet and the second squadrons of the Beiyang Fleet attacking Basilan Island, Holo Island, and Badu Badu Island. Each squadron also brought one

After seizing the island, the infantry regiment stationed on the island. Through the Battle of Zamboyan, the Chinese army had a very good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Sulu army. Attacking the three islands with such force was a complete killing of the sword.

To cure the disease.

The Fourth Squadron of the Nanyang Fleet, which is the Li Huamei Fleet, merged with Shang Yi's Imperial Fleet. As the general reserve fleet of the entire army, of course, it is not that the three fleets cannot conquer the three islands, but that they should prevent the Dutch Fleet from

Sudden attack, although the news was received at this time that the Netherlands had not many troops stationed in Kalimantan, they had to be careful. At the same time, Cheng Gang also ordered that once a Dutch fleet attacked the Chinese army, all the fleets would be concentrated first.

After the Dutch fleet was resolved, the battle to seize the island was launched.

After the task was assigned, everyone dispersed and left, and went back to prepare for the battle in the sky.

At night, after dinner, Alisandra and Toyotomi Kaoru also left with great tact, giving time to Shang Yi and Li Huamei, because they had already said that they would give it to Li Huamei in the next three days.

And before leaving, Alisandra patted Li Huamei on the shoulder and giggled: "Christine, if you can't stand it alone, just come to us for help."

Li Huamei laughed and said, "Yani, if you are jealous and can't help it, you can come together, but I won't mind."

After Alisandra and Toyotomi Kaoru left, Li Huamei immediately fell into Shang Yi's arms again. The two kissed each other enthusiastically. After waiting for so long, they finally could get along alone, and there were some

Unbearable. After the long kiss, Li Huamei hugged Shang Yi's neck and vomited a wet and hot breath in Shang Yi's ears, saying, "Please carry me to the room, I can't wait, now

Just want it."

Shang Yi kissed Li Huamei on the face and said, "I am the same."

As he said that, Shang Yi picked up Li Huamei and walked into the bedroom. He soon heard a rough breath and tender moaning sound in the room.
