Valley Emperor

In order to ensure the security of the colonies, and also to be able to attack the local native princes or Portuguese people nearby, each colony under the control of Datang Western Trading Company has established military strongholds and stationed armed personnel. , and set up the colonial garrison command.

According to the size of the colony where each garrison command is located, the enemies they face are different, and the troops under their jurisdiction are also different. At the same time, it is worth noting that the commander of this garrison command is often also the chief of the local colony.

This is because the Datang Western Trading Company itself is an organization of armed colonial trade. There are basically no boundaries between civil and military, and the chief officials in each colony are basically in control.

Of course, this power was limited to the Western Company, and according to the Western Trade License, the administrative affairs, especially the taxation affairs, in the colonies still belonged to the official government.

The Datang Western Trading Company only assists in handling administrative affairs in the colony, and the taxation authority cannot even intervene. That is the power of the taxation department.

The garrison troops in each colony are less than a hundred people, which is the size of an army infantry team, but there are many, such as the Gehe Prefecture garrison team, whose strength has reached more than 3,000 people, which is basically a regiment-level establishment. .

Under each garrison command, depending on the strength of the troops, they are also organized into different units, but this organization is basically a fire-fighting army establishment, such as infantry, infantry battalion, artillery battalion, artillery and even cavalry.

However, because the overall size of the ground troops of the company's fleet is more than 10,000 people, and they are scattered in nearly 20 colonial strongholds, the fixed establishment is not large, and the battalion is basically the limit, and more is still dominated by teams.

In addition to these garrison teams deployed on the ground, the company fleet also has a large number of marines on ships, which can also be dispatched to go ashore when necessary.

In fact, the scale of the entire company's fleet is very large, with a total force of nearly 20,000 people, of which more than 10,000 are ground combat troops, and thousands are sailors, marines and the like.

Otherwise, why would the Datang Western Trading Company compete with the Portuguese for India and the eastern coast of Africa, Myanmar, West Asia and other regions.

In addition, Datang Western Ocean Trading Company is very familiar with the Indian Ocean. Even if the navy goes deep into the Indian Ocean to fight, without the help of the company fleet of Datang Western Ocean Trading Company, it cannot be done.

Ding Chen really doesn't care about the follow-up strategy of the navy. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him for the time being. He doesn't even care about other wars in the Nanyang region, because that is the local garrison force in Nanyang, mainly the Wandan garrison and Luzon. The garrison, plus the task of the naval unit.

He, Ding Chenzhen, has only one mission for the seventh army for the time being: win Malacca!

The large-scale landing operation lasted for a full five days. This time was a little longer than the timetable set by Ding Chenzhen, but there was no way to do it. The difficulty of the subsequent heavy artillery and the transportation of a large amount of materials far exceeded expectations. .

The large temporary wharf erected by the Seventh Boat Bridge Regiment had a problem when it was put into use. When transporting an 18-pound heavy artillery piece, part of the structure of the temporary pier could not be supported. As a result, it collapsed on the spot, which directly caused the 18-jin heavy artillery Into the sea!

But anyway, on the fifth day, the artillery of the 19th Artillery Regiment and the Seventh Artillery Brigade, as well as the artillery of the temporary naval heavy artillery battalion, were transported ashore, even if it was in During the transportation, there were five artillery pieces one after another, and all the heavy artillery pieces sank to the bottom of the sea.

The difficulties in such a large-scale cross-sea landing operation can be imagined. Even if there is no enemy resistance on the beachhead, various mistakes in the middle are to be expected.

Therefore, the heartache returned to Xintong, but Ding Chenzhen was still very fortunate in the end. After five days of chaos, he finally landed.

The next thing is to continue to transport a large amount of materials, and these Ding Chen really don't care, because he has already led his troops to the city of Malacca, which is four kilometers away.

When the army was marching, the personnel walking was better, but the transportation of heavy artillery and supplies was very difficult. Even the engineers and soldiers in the previous units, and even ordinary soldiers, all went to battle together to build roads and bridges, but time was in a hurry. At most, it's just a temporary dirt road.

What's more, when repairing the road, Ding Chenzhen found that the logistics department made a mistake, and he forgot the cement for the road and fortifications in Hong Kong...

Carrying cement to the front line, the Datang Army did this as early as the Hetao Battle, and originally wanted to do it in the Malacca Battle to temporarily pave a road or something.

But I didn't expect that I made a mistake in my busy schedule and brought everything, such as mosquito nets, anti-mosquito potions, etc. Even the Taoist priests brought several, ready to use for the fallen soldiers...

But I didn't expect that the important material cement was forgotten to bring. After checking it, the cement is still in good condition at the Hong Kong Naval Base to get the material combat readiness warehouse!

However, there is no cement. Although it has an impact, the impact is not too big. After all, dirt roads can also be walked!

As a result, the gods were not beautiful. On the sixth day of the landing operation, that is, Ding Chenzhen led the army to officially march towards Malacca City, the first day that it was raining!

Ding Chenzhen looked at the pouring rain outside, and then there were various materials that were wet in the rain, as well as soldiers running around trying to cover the various materials with tarpaulins.

In the end, I couldn't help but scream!

"Damn, the **** of the meteorological team of the Royal Institute of Technology, what he said is like a fart, doesn't it mean that it won't rain in the autumn and winter of Nanyang, even if it does, it will only rain lightly, look at this rain, is it light rain?"

Datang sent troops to Malacca, this time is not random!

For example, in the first half of the year, if there is more rain, they will not come!

This waited until the second half of the year, when the troops began to be dispatched in August. At this time, the rainy season in Nanyang has basically passed, and the weather will be relatively good.

Even if it will take a few months for the follow-up operations, it will control the time of the operations in the autumn and winter, and strive to end the wars in various parts of Southeast Asia and even some parts of India before next spring.

As a result, it's already September, and God still doesn't give any face at all, saying that it will rain heavily when it rains!

Of course, even in the autumn and winter seasons in the Nanyang region, no matter how bad the weather is, it is still much stronger than spring and summer.

A heavy rain completely stopped the Seventh Army's attempt to advance to Malacca. Even if the landing city was a little more than four kilometers away from Malacca City, the vanguard of the Seventh Army had actually been running a few days ago. Arrived outside the city of Malacca, and began to excavate fortifications.

However, if the heavy artillery troops did not arrive, they could not fight at all!

Therefore, now the vanguard of the Seventh Army, that is, the 57th Infantry Regiment, can only stare at the city of Malacca in front of them.

The army has been slow to start operations, and the navy is finally too lazy to wait!

Admiral Chen Pengming, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet and the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, sent a letter to Ding Chenzhen, informing Ding Chenzhen in the letter that the main fleet of the navy will officially set sail tomorrow, but the navy will stay behind A squadron continued to monitor the port of Malacca and to blockade the Strait of Malacca to support the army at any time.

Interestingly, this squadron is actually the naval **** fleet in the Joint Landing Fleet!

To put it bluntly, the entire Indian Ocean fleet will enter the South China Sea and will not stay in Malacca!

Admiral Chen Pengming was about to enter the Indian Ocean, and he took away not only the Indian Ocean fleet, but also the 5th Marine Corps. In the words of the Navy, the 5th Marine Corps was originally prepared to support the Indian battlefield. The time was urgent and the task was heavy. Have time to accompany your army to stare at Malacca!

The navy destroyed the Portuguese fleet in the port of Malacca, and also killed a few Portuguese forts, then turned and left gracefully, leaving the army alone to face the heavy rain in Malacca and the desperate Portuguese.

Ding Chen really didn't care that the navy was going to leave. Anyway, their Fifth Marine Regiment was useless, so they just left, and the Joint Landing Fleet was still there, so the Army had nothing to worry about.

Now that the rain is pouring, Ding Chenzhen has nothing to do. He can only ask the troops to pay attention to rain protection, protect materials, especially gunpowder, not to get wet. In addition, they must pay strict attention not to get sick because of the rain, and pay strict attention to hygiene.

In this poor place in Nanyang, a little carelessness will lead to various diseases~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Especially in the rainy season, it is more troublesome. Ding Chenzhen has been in Nanyang for several years before, and he knows very well that at this time, it is difficult to fight wars It's not really important at all. The important thing is to do a good job of hygiene, waterproof, don't get sick, let alone cause any infectious diseases.

Otherwise, if a large-scale infectious disease hits, and this Malacca is not hit, his seventh army will be finished.

Fortunately, the immigrants from Datang have developed the Southeast Asia for many years, and domestic research on medical treatment has always maintained the highest level of limitations.

The Datang Army also has a complete medical system. The army has a military hospital, the division has a division field hospital, and the regiment headquarters and even the battalion headquarters have military doctors. Even at the level of the team, there are also medical soldiers.

Before the war, considering the complex environment in Nanyang, disease would be the biggest enemy of the Datang Army, so they carried a large amount of medicine, especially the alcohol used for disinfection, which was astonishing.
