049 [wheel tactics]
The Japanese army also quickly concentrated artillery fire on Li Yiqi's detachment, but by this time, Li Yiqi had led his detachment to retreat, and Yuan Jun's third detachment also followed at the same time.
"General Yuan, hit their flagship!"
"Good!" Yuanjun also came up with a round of fierce bombardment towards the "Japanese Maru".
"What's going on? What tactics did the enemy adopt? Yoshiaki Kato was puzzled.
"Isn't this the 'car suspension' invented by Uesugi Kenshin? Use the rotation of attacks to defeat the enemy's morale and physical strength to a great extent, and defeat the enemy in one breath without giving the enemy a chance to breathe!" Yasuji Wakisaka said worriedly, "This is very bad for us. The North Korean army occupies a lot of space in the sea and has great mobility. Our ships can't move in the inland sea."
"What should I do?" Jia Teng Jiaming asked.
"What are you afraid of? We have the samurai spirit, and the emperor and Guan Bai bless us in Japan, so we will fight with them to the end! It is said that all sailors are not allowed to retreat and hold on to me. Jiugui Jialong knew that he had no way out. If the fleet wanted to keep it, he had to carry it to the end. General Kato, you command some small ships to transport the wounded and replenish ammunition. General Wakisaka, you are responsible for the rescue and supply on the shore. I will personally go to the front line to command the battle! We can't fail anymore!"
Ji Jialong is the most important person in this invasion * navy all the way to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The previous defeats have nothing to do with him. This time, he must make a good start in battle in person, and let * people see that the Japanese navy is not a hundred!
jia long jiu gui jia long boarded a relatively large Azuk ship, because the luxury warship "Nihon Maru" sent by Hideyoshi had been sunk by the North Korean army.
Ye Da has come up to the second round. Under the first round of attack, the warship basically did not lose anything, and several holes were made up in time. Jiugui Jialong also wanted to repair his warship, but the fierce and uninterrupted attack of the North Korean army finally gave up this idea. Because his warship could not move its position, it could only be exposed to the gunfire of the North Korean army and was constantly bombarded into wreckage and fragments. Jiugui Jialong gritted his teeth and shouted sadly, "Hang me! Hold on!" But what he could not stop was that his warships decreased one by one and disappeared from his sight one by one.
The navy under Jiugui Jialong is still tenacious. They all insist on the front line. Only those who are injured are treated on the shore by Kato Yoshiaki's transport ship. The commander's presence on the battlefield gave them great encouragement, and Jiugui Jialong's military law is strict, and he will be beheaded when he escapes before the battle. It's like dying on the battlefield. So they all tried their best to resist the North Korean army one round after another of offensive.
"Ye Da's method really works. We basically haven't lost anything in a few rounds, but the Japanese warship is about to sink! Haha!" Yuanjun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Despite this, the Japanese artillery was also very fierce. Although the North Korean warships were not damaged and repaired quickly, many soldiers were injured, but this battle depends on who can hold on to the end.
At the end, Jiugui Jialong was about to cry! His warships are boundless, the artillery fire is getting thinner and thinner, and the wounded on the shore are countless.
"General, let's withdraw! The warship can no longer be preserved!" A deputy general persuaded Jiu Gui Jialongdao.
"No! We will also fight on the last ship! Fight back! Fight back!"
The battle lasted from morning to night. Because of the large number of Japanese troops, they can also maintain a continuous counterattack force, but their large warships have all sunk, leaving only a few small transport ships. The warships of the North Korean army were basically not lost, but a considerable number of sailors were injured, and even Ye Da's left arm was scratched by blown wood chips. At this time, both sides tacitly stopped firing artillery.
Li Shunchen ordered the fleet to retreat to the sea, began to rectify and rest, and also checked the amount of ammunition.
"General, our ammunition is almost finished."
"For good, we have destroyed this fleet." Yuanjun said gladly.
"There is no ammunition and we can only return, but there are still surviving Japanese troops on the shore, and the Japanese commander is still alive. Our sailors have suffered great losses. This battle can only be half won."
"Yes, the Japanese army has been hit so hard, and they will definitely vent their anger on our people when they go ashore," Li Yiqi said worriedly.
"But there is nothing we can do. Our sailors are no longer suitable for landing again due to fierce battles and injuries."
"Then we have to go back to rest. These Japanese soldiers will forgive them for the time being. They are lucky!" Yuan Jun's heavy burden was solved, and his old nest was no more threatened by the Japanese army.
That night, the joint fleet went their separate ways and left Angupu.
At this time, Jiugui Jialong, Yasuharu Wakisaka and Kato stood on the shore and looked at the countless wreckage of warships and broken limbs floating on the blood-stained sea. They did not know that the Korean army had left here. Jiugui Jialong said sadly, "After this battle, what face do you and I have to go back to Japan to meet the Taige and meet the emperor!"
"Li Shunchen is really good at using troops. Originally, we have occupied absolute geographical advantages, but he can actually use an unfavorable geographical location to create favorable tactics. What a great talent!" Yoshiaki Kato sighed.
"Alas, I didn't expect such a result," Yasuji Wakisaka shook his head.
"What should we do now?"
"There's nothing we can do. The navy fleet is gone, and it doesn't make sense for us to stay here any longer. Let's just retreat from the shore to Busan." Yasuharu Wakisaka suggested.
"The coast is full of mountains, and it's not easy to march. Besides, we still have so many wounded, I think we'd better take the waterway."
"You know that the navy is in the sea. Isn't it a way to die by taking waterways!"
At this moment, a Japanese reconnaissance ship came back.
"Report, the enemy has retreated!"
"What? Retreated?" Nine ghosts Jialong couldn't believe his ears.
The scout nodded affirmatively.
"It won't be another trick to lure soldiers!" Yasuharu Wasaka has been tempted by Li Shunchen's temptation.
"I don't think so. After fighting for a whole day, the losses of the North Korean army are not light. Moreover, they have fought far away, and the grain and ammunition should have been exhausted. I think they should have really retreated."
"Then what are we waiting for? Gather the transport ships quickly and transport our wounded soldiers back to Busan. I don't want to stay in this damn place for a moment!"
Jiugui Jialong immediately organized all the sailors to retreat to Busan by water.
