Chapter 891: The Battle to Determine the World (IV)

At the beginning of the battle, the navy was the protagonist and the navy, who was unwilling to be a supporting role in ground war, mobilized all the Marines, including a total of three Marine divisions. Considering that there were too many troops in the direction of Gibraltar, all three divisions were deployed in Malta on standby.

摔下行动还是舰队,由欧洲舰队十八艘铁甲舰领衔,五十艘当今最强大的风帆战舰辅助,对西班牙地中海沿岸的各个港口以及海域,进行了封锁和炮击.直布罗陀海峡外海一战,打断了欧洲海军的脊梁,就算是被堵在门口狠揍,也没有一艘战船出来迎战.实际上这个时候的地中海各国,也没有多少海军了.海上力量还算完整的法国,根本就没有多少海上力量.

正式打响战役在七月一日这一天,首先动手的不是什么陆军,而是海军陆战队.在欧洲舰队的掩护下,直接扑向瓦伦西亚.这就是西班牙的悲剧了,作为地中海国家,一旦失去了制海权,就得处处受敌.当然从马耳他启运的陆战队还在路上的时候,从陆地上出发的非洲军团欧洲作战部队,已经开始了他们的进攻.

The first battle started was not to go directly north, but to divide two infantry divisions and march towards the southwest and northeast, with the purpose of cleaning up the surrounding areas. In fact, similar work has been done, and the Spaniards could only huddle in the two cities of Algeciras and Marbella. If these two cities cannot be occupied, the logistics supply line of the European Expeditionary Force under the African Legion would be threatened, which is an unacceptable result.

这是一场关系到大明命运的决战,陆军部高度重视,拥有丰富作战经验的老将岁数都大了,这一次挑大梁的只能是一些中年军官.陆军部特意派出了年富力强的副部长元观海担纲非洲军团的总指挥,坐镇亚历山大港,原非洲军团司令尹杰,改任副司令的同时兼任欧洲远征军团司令.亲自乘船来到了拉利内阿,指挥整个欧洲战局.

正是因为是用兵稳妥的尹杰指挥,欧洲远征军的准备期才会长达两个多月,甚至还默许了海军的擅自行动.当然这也是元观海的意思.元观海的履历很复杂,毕业于辽东步兵士官学校,在山地部队中服役五年后,保送陆军大学高级参谋学院,毕业后历任山地师团长,旅长,师长.后调任漠北服役五年,十八岁从军至今整整三十年的军旅生涯.

Because it is not visible or leaking, it has always been low-key in the army and is too famous. This is also related to the lack of enemies on the ground around the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that any small country dares to stab and just shoot a division to destroy other people's countries. The Ming army that has reached this level is a kind of sadness for the officers.

Algeciras, a city with only more than 3,000 defenders. Under the guidance of the tactical idea of ​​killing chickens with a ox knife, he faced a three-regiment infantry division with a total strength of more than 12,000. At Yin Jie's request, the troops attacking from both routes were very calm and would never advance. There were many rivers in Spain, and the roads were a big problem. In this case, they could only advance along the main road, and they could only take steps.

在稳健的战术思想指导下,三天时间才发起了攻城的战斗,师属炮兵团的火力准备之后.端着最新款步枪的士兵们,跟着旗号往前冲.仅仅是一次冲锋,突击部队就轻松的撕开了城防,西班牙人的抵抗非常坚决.但是他们的还停留在火绳枪的水准上.加上兵力上的优势,进攻部队打的非常顺利.真正的困难在于进入城市之后,西班牙人展现出来的保卫家园的果决.大明陆军步兵五十三师的进攻,陡然一滞.

This is the infantry division that was always the Qin army. The division commander Guan Zhonghan was a standard hero of the Three Qins. The disciples of Guanzhong did not show the courage to fight to the death, but they seemed to fight in streets like this kind of braised candy. The Spanish hid in the houses, attacked the invaders in the streets and alleys, and even women and children took up weapons to fight.

激烈的战斗打了整整一天,伤亡三百人的数字,把关中涵吓了一跳.这个时候的五十三师,一共也才占领了半个城市.把各团长叫来问原因,开了一晚上的总结会得出一个结论,士兵们手软了,很多时候的伤亡,都是因为一些他们放过的目标造成的.比如,妇女,半大的孩子,还有老头.这些目标,本不是打击对象,但是他们却用极为简陋的武器,给正规军造成了一百多人的伤亡.

"The summary report was sent to Commander Yin and presented to Lieutenant General Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the African Legion. The battle will not be like this again tomorrow. What we are facing is not a group of professional soldiers, but a group of dead soldiers who are defending their homes. I declare..."

次日一早,再次发起进攻的五十三师作战风格完全变了,不再是沿着街道向主要目标推进,而是改成了挨家挨户的搜索攻击前进.每一户人家先喊话,让里面的人出来,也不管对方听不听的懂关中口音的官话,没人出来就往里头丢手榴弹,然后以班为作战单位,冲进去把看见的活人全部杀死或者抓起来.遇到一些坚固的建筑,则直接把山炮推上来,抵进了直接射击.这种不顾平民伤亡的战术,取得了不错的战果.一天的战斗下来,整个城市落在了五十三师的手里,但是城内的百姓死伤无数,因为没有具体的统计数字,也不知道伤亡多少平民.但是第五十三师却仅仅伤亡了十八人,只有一个重伤,其余都是轻伤.

多年以后西班牙人统计过一个数字,称在这场攻城战役中,三万无辜百姓死于战火.当然这仅仅是一家之言,大明帝国是不承认的,即便是西班牙官方,也没有一个明确的说法.只是用平民伤亡惨重来代替了,因为谁也不清楚具体的数字.大明也有一些“圣母史学家”在这个问题上说三道四,他们提出的数字是伤亡三十万.嗯,大明帝国在西班牙犯下了累累血债.好在这个时代的大明,圣母婊没什么市场.没人来谴责五十三师.

马尔韦利亚方面没有犯错,上来就是简单粗暴的招数,只要还是执行任务的是大明步兵第十六师,这是在埃及经历过心慈手软教训的部队,从上到下早就有了清醒的认识,而且这尼玛还是个日裔师.尽管士兵换了一波人,但是营长连长排长这个级别的军官,基本都是经历过埃及城市战争的.顾忌什么平民伤亡啊,在这个世界上.大明的人

命最金贵,这是尼玛日裔的统一认识.不这么认识不行啊,当年幕府时代,被收拾的太惨了,要不是大明心怀博大.张开了臂膀欢迎迷途羔羊,哪来大明帝国东瀛省.没有大明帝国东瀛省,一帮渔民和农民出身的家伙,哪有机会挣一个月二十块钱的军饷,哪有机会挣战时的双饷?哪有机会在别人的土地上抢劫以及做一些罪大恶极的勾当.

Anyway, it's just a word that the Ming Dynasty is considered a human being, the Japanese are considered a second-class person, and the descendants strive to become human beings. As for other nations, do you also consider a human being without the Ming Dynasty? I don't know why. No one condemned the battle between Marbella, and the Spaniards themselves did not condemn it, although the casualties were not smaller than Algeciras.

After solving the two wings, Yin Jie ordered the main force to go north. Under the complex eyes of the Spanish civilians, the army embarked on a journey of trampling on the Spanish homeland. In fact, during this period, the Spanish civilians clearly felt that these Ming soldiers were much easier to get along with than the local masters. They trade fairly, and they would not rob or take them. As long as you obey the people, you don’t even have the tax collection. The food eaten by the army was bought with the Ming Dynasty Huayuan. To be honest, this thing is also a hard currency in Europe. Many European merchants would rather use this banknote than use gold coins. If you are worried, you can find some merchants who specialize in exchange for Spanish gold and silver coins. The result of this is that they will be slaughtered.

Of course, in various European countries, the Chinese Yuan of the Ming Dynasty is currently banned from using currency. Wasn't it before the Ming Dynasty came? Now. Hahaha, who said that merchants are patriots? There are very few merchants who have criticized them privately because of the stupidity of the Spanish royal family. It is not good for you to provoke such a evil god.

Perhaps it was because the European Expeditionary Force had a good reputation, or perhaps the battle between the two cities was too cruel. After the main force of the Expeditionary Force was dispatched, the resistance along the way was not so fierce. As long as the weapons were put down, even soldiers would be treated preferentially.

On the contrary, once the attack encountered a similar urban street battle, the Ming army immediately became another group of people. The process of transitioning from moderate and order to brutality was very skilled.

On July 15, the red flag of the Ming Empire fluttered over the city of Cordoba. The European Expeditionary Force was not subject to any resistance in this city. The local people did not mean to welcome him. They hid at home, through the cracks of the door or windows, and looked at the orderly Ming army when they entered the city with cold eyes.

If you have to talk about ornamentality, the clothing of the Ming Army seems a bit simple, not as fancy as the military uniforms of European countries. However, this simplicity is synonymous with efficient killing on the battlefield.

After Madrid repeatedly rushed, the French army crossed the Pyrenees and entered Spain to fight. The famous general Kong Dai was commanding the 20,000 French troops. If it were not for the emergence of the Ming Empire, some lingering grudges would have been staged between France and Spain. The relationship between European countries was too complicated, and France and Spain could fight for the heir to the throne.

At the same time, the troops of Sweden, the Netherlands and Portugal entered Spain, and their destination was Madrid. It should be that only by gathering strength here can we defeat the troops of the Ming Empire in the decisive battle. Because they are fighting in foreign countries, there is no need to worry about their home being destroyed. This is a difficult thing for Spain. But other countries will not think so, haha, this is the best choice.

Of course, this is just a wishful thinking of some countries. As a former friendly country in the Ming Dynasty, after betraying the Ming Dynasty, the French Empire, which was also detained by the Ming merchants, the Ming Dynasty would naturally not forget their "deep friendship". If it were not for Louis XIV, there would be many voices within France opposing the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was all about interest relations at work. Louis XIV's advantage was that the country made money and the emperor made money. However, many nobles suffered heavy losses in this process of changing faces. However, they could not resist the monopoly of power. Louis XIV, who had a strong army, could only silently wait for a suitable opportunity to find the place.

这个时候,法兰西皇帝陛下并没有意识到,这一场战争后果会多么的严重.的路易十四,在其的执政生涯中,因为一系列的对外扩张的成功,并没有受到太多的掣肘.总的来说,民间的怨气固然是有的,但是因为连续胜利,国内政局还是稳定的.但是这一次不一样了,他的对手是大明帝国.尽管陆军还在邻国西班牙作战,海军主力舰队却来到了马赛.

"Is this the Marseille Port?" Ye Hai looked at the seaside city in front of him with a blank expression. It was not very large. Many ports in the Ming Dynasty were much larger than here. Because of the war, a large number of ships gathered in the port, and he could only rely on the fortresses around the port to protect him. If he went to sea easily and encountered the navy of the Ming Empire, the result would be two, captured and sunk.

In Marseille, we naturally saw thick smoke on the sea. In fact, in recent times, everyone has seen warships emitting black smoke, but before, one or two came to swing around with a few sailboats. This time, the eighteen warships came, all of which were armored warships emitting black smoke.

"I saw that the fort was not there. The cement used was produced by the enterprises run by the Ming merchants in France." Chief of Staff Liu Mingxuan pointed to a fort on the top of the mountain and sneered and put down the telescope. "The maximum range of 150 cannons is 5,500 meters. It's a waste to use grenades to hit such a solid target." Ye Hai's tone was very cold, and Liu Mingxuan nodded and agreed: "It's a bit waste."

"Then let's bombard the city, send people to land first, and ask the French Empire to release the detained Ming people within 24 hours. Otherwise, we will speak with cannons." Ye Hai waved his hand decisively and made a decision with great momentum. (To be continued.)
