The End of the Wokou – The Sino-Japanese Korean War (23)

Although I said earlier that in the final naval battle, the Korean marine division was completely destroyed, but it is inevitable that some fish have slipped through the net, a few ships have drifted to the outer ocean and have not been affected by the war, and a few ships have not even come, and scattered in the middle of the way.

After two months of rest, Li Shunchen finally got a water army that was still quite decent in appearance.

The flowers bloom in two, one on each side. The Japanese side was also rubbing their fists, no, to be precise, they were ready to fight when they knew that Korea still had remnants of the water army.

One of the Japanese generals screamed with red eyes, saying that he would kill Li Shunchen and bring his head back. This general was called Tsuneyoshi Raishima. It can be seen that he and Li Shunchen must not share the heavens, could it be that there is a vendetta between the two of them to kill their father? In fact, it is said that Li Shunchen once killed a Japanese general in a naval battle when Yuan Jun had not yet come out to make trouble, and no one knew who he was at that time. Even General Li Shunchen didn't care, they only knew that they had a great achievement. This man is actually called Raishima Tsunehisa, and he is the brother of Tsuneyoshi Raishima.

Back to the current situation in Korea. Laidao Tong always believed that now that the Korean marine division was still weak, he could make a great achievement by attacking on his own, and he could also get rid of the people who killed his brother in one fell swoop, which would be beneficial to both public and private, so why not enjoy it?

As a result, this guy was overconfident and was killed by Li Shunchen--- because in this battle he behaved very much like Zhao Zilong, taking advantage of the light characteristics of his ship, 7 in and 7 out of the enemy position, as if entering no man's land.

At this time, a surrendered Japanese next to Li Shunchen told Li Shunchen the real location of the island pass, and then Li Shunchen sent someone to kill him with a knife. LaiDaotong is always a hot person, he saw that he had more than 300 boats, and his opponents only had more than a dozen boats, and the result was that he still couldn't surround him. Temper actually came up. Directly lead your own flagship to move forward. Rush to the front line to kill the enemy. Carefully studied, in fact, there was nothing wrong with this order, after all, there were still too few opponents.

However, the opponent of the general manager of the island this time is Li Shunchen, who can turn the impossible into a miracle, which is also considered to be bad luck. This naval battle is actually a naval battle with more symbolic significance than actual significance. Because this naval battle is mainly won by luck, after all, the opponent is always too stupid to come to the island.

If the opponent becomes a little stronger, with his own weak troops, to be honest, he will not actually take much advantage. But with this naval battle, we can also take a good look at the Jump Gang. It meant jumping from one of their own ships to an enemy ship for land battles on board, which was generally a common tactic of the Japanese army. The individual combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is very strong. But. The Korean ships were all large ships, and the Japanese ships were relatively small, so it was not so easy to jump the gang.

The Battle of Jishan by the Ming Army and the Naval Battle of Li Shunchen were two key victories for the Allies in September.

The effects of the two victories were superimposed, and the Japanese were caught in a situation where they lacked both the courage to attack and the confidence in logistics. However, the situation in September was quite unusual for the Japanese, and most of Jeolla Province had fallen. The gate to Seoul has also been opened, the main force of the Ming Dynasty army has not yet gathered, and Li Shunchen's fleet will take many days to form a combat effectiveness.

However, the Japanese did not take the opportunity to continue the attack north, but after occupying Jishan, they abruptly stopped all military operations. It turned out that shortly after the Battle of Jishan, the Left Route Army held a meeting in one place. It is hard to believe that the outcome of the meeting was not to take advantage of the situation to go north, but to go south.

Who believes that he wants to sweep away Jeolla Province? The Right Route Army was no better, and they were chased around by a small officer. Moreover, it was Kato Kiyomasa who was chasing after him, who had often rushed into the enemy position with a roar of the tiger, but this time he did not dare to move for a long time. The Japanese retreated slowly, their original distance hovering along the coast.

Why did the Japanese army do this? It's certainly not a question of replenishment. The Japanese army's front was not long, and it still occupied the water, so Li Shunchen had to hide on an island and did not dare to come out.

Of course, this is not a matter of weather, although the harsh winter in North Korea is very cold. But it's only September, and it shouldn't be a problem to take down Seoul.

After such an analysis, it is not a weather problem, it is not a supply problem, what is wrong with the Japanese? From the beginning of the war to October, the actions of the Japanese army showed a very distinctive feature, and the desire to fight was very low, and it became twilight.

The Japanese Right Route Army's initial attack on Seoul directly over all obstacles through ingenious movements was a very exciting strategy. However, if this were placed in the first war of aggression, the Japanese army would not be afraid of such a small Korean army at all, and would simply draw a straight line on the map and stride forward.

The same is true of the performance of the Japanese army on the left side, they will only kill the enemy in a siege battle 10 times that of the enemy in Nanyuan, as if tens of thousands of troops are clustered together to have a sense of security. As soon as you encounter such a battle that calculates that the combat strength of both sides is almost the same, you immediately begin to cry bitterly.
