Chapter 2976
Qian Tiandun's speech seemed to show Haihan's official attitude. How to formulate and maintain the international order in the South China Sea region must be decided by Haihan.If anyone feels dissatisfied, they can first consider whether they have the ability to challenge the Haihan army stationed in Xingdao.
If it is said that in the years before that, Haihan still got along with the countries in this region with an equal attitude on the surface, then Qian Tiandun's statement at this time is to completely tear off the mask and show that he wants to take the lead. Big brother's panache.
When Luo Jie's civil and military officials heard this statement, they were naturally rejoiced and excited.But the other guests couldn't help but looked at each other, some were worried, some gritted their teeth, after all, most of them were uneasy about it.
Qian Tiandun took the reactions of these people into his eyes, and was not surprised. He just gave a dose of vaccination to the representatives of various countries today. That's when the conflict broke out.
As for whether the announcement of Haihan's purpose at this time will make some countries step up their preparations for resistance, Qian Tiandun doesn't really care. He believes that Roger is the same.If someone tries to resist, it can just be pulled out to show the countries, so that the rulers of all countries can see what will happen if they fight against Hai Han.
After the banquet, Qian Tiandun and his party returned to the station.On the way, Li Yuande asked him: "Why did your lord deliberately show a tough attitude, which aroused the vigilance of all countries, wouldn't it make it more difficult for follow-up actions?"
Qian Tiandun said: "If the action is not difficult, then what is the reason for us to travel all the way to the South China Sea?"
Li Yuande was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Qian Tiandun continued: "The significance of the existence of special warfare divisions is to fight wars. Whether it is to expand the territory or defend the borders, in short, there must be opponents and wars, so that the special warfare divisions can show their value."
"The overall situation in the north has been determined. Whether it is the Ming court, the Qing court, or the countries in the East China Sea, it will be difficult to challenge the authority of our country. The real possibility of conflicts, and the place where special warfare divisions will come in handy, I think will be the South China Sea."
Li Yuande finally understood what Qian Tiandun wanted to express: "War must break out in the South China Sea, and the special forces' southward movement will be meaningful!"
Qian Tiandun nodded slightly and said: "If there is no opponent, the special warfare division will become a decoration, how boring it would be!"
It is still unknown whether Qian Tiandun's speech at the reception banquet can stimulate some people, but the preparations for the special operations division actually started when they moved from the north to the south.
Although the troop strength and equipment have been greatly reduced compared with when they were stationed in Liaodong, and they are relatively unfamiliar with the environment in the South China Sea, Qian Tiandun is convinced that his troops can quickly adapt to the environment here and maintain their due combat effectiveness. It will take a battle to prove this to the executive committee.
In terms of the progress of the operation, the troops in charge of the West Nanhai Road have fallen far behind the Luzon garrison in charge of the East Road.While the Eastern Route Army was in full swing, conquering many Spanish towns and pushing the front line to the central part of the Philippine Islands, the Western Route Army had just completed its assembly in Xingdao, and did not even get any record.
If no action is taken, even if no one has any doubts about the West Route Army, which are known for their combat effectiveness, famous generals like Qian Tiandun and Luo Jie will lose face.
However, when Qian Tiandun made a tough speech, the East Route Army, which had been advancing all the way, stumbled in Cebu Island.
The battle report was transmitted to Xingdao through the radio. After reading it, Qian Tiandun couldn't help being very surprised. During the process of attacking Cebu Island, the Eastern Route Army actually suffered three-digit casualties. extremely rare situation in combat operations.
Time goes back to a week ago.
The [-]th Army Division and the [-]th Detachment of the South China Sea Fleet worked together to conquer Masbate Island, Panay Island, Samar Island, and Wright Island among the seven major islands in the central Philippine archipelago. In a Spanish colonial settlement, more than a thousand resisters were wiped out, and more than [-] prisoners of war were captured.
This is the biggest victory the Haihan Army has achieved in the Philippine Islands in the past 20 years since the Battle of Manila.Yu Tiezhu, the commander of the Fourth Army Division, and Jiao Fei, the commander of the Luzon Navy, all received telegram awards from the executive committee.
The situation was so good that the Luzon authorities decided to strike while the iron was hot and take Cebu Island.
This is not the first time that Haihan has attacked Cebu. Since 1638, Haihan has sent troops many times to carry out military strikes on Cebu Port, the seat of the Spanish colonial authorities, in an attempt to overthrow the Spanish rule in this area.
Although Haihan's every dispatch of troops ended in victory, the effect of suppressing the Spaniards was not satisfactory.
Cebu Island, which covers an area of more than [-] square kilometers, has more than half of the area covered by primitive forests, and the troops that Haihan dispatches each time are far from enough to completely clear the forested areas on Cebu Island.The long sea supply line is not enough to support Haihan to occupy this place for a long time.
So every time Haihan retreated, the Spaniards who hid in the mountains would come back and repeatedly strengthen the city defense facilities.Later, based on the experience of avoiding wars many times, a number of shelters were built in the deep mountains and old forests near Cebu Port, and a large amount of materials were transported into the mountains for storage, so as to prepare for guerrilla warfare against Haihan.
It's not that Haihan doesn't know anything about such preparation methods. After all, the two major intelligence departments of the Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau have each sent a lot of spies to Cebu.But the problem is that even knowing that the Spaniards have been quietly preparing for war, the Luzon authorities have no way to stop their opponents.
After assessment, the Luzon authorities believed that the difficulty of attacking Cebu would not be much greater than before, and in the process of attacking the Spanish colonies southward, they hardly encountered too strong resistance.
Based on this judgment, the Luzon authorities believe that the expeditionary force should be able to win the important goal of Cebu in one fell swoop.It is even very likely that the Haihan fleet will approach the port of Cebu, and the Spaniards will once again stage the scene of abandoning the city and fleeing.
But what the rear command did not expect was that instead of abandoning the city and fleeing, the Spaniards concentrated all the armed forces in this area to Cebu, relying on the layers of fortifications they had built in the area over the years. , Fight with the Haihan army on the frontal battlefield.
Although Haihan's local spies took great risks to send information, pointing out that the Spaniards had made desperate preparations for this battle, but the headquarters believed that their own strength was enough to crush their opponents, so they decided to follow the original plan and fight against the enemy by sea. Wucheng District to carry out the attack.
