87_87379 pulled, marched, crossed the river, about 60,000 Zhenwei troops, went straight to the first stop of the military grain city, Li Dacheng and the soldiers of the Zhenwei army, the march is also by the legs, overnight, the shape of the Zhenwei army up and down also has some changes, Li Dacheng, the original Yellow River boxing brother, when he left the Beijing Division, has been a little unknown, after the night of Huangzhuang annihilation, Li Dacheng in the Zhenwei army prestige again, but most people look at him with some fear.

Those who can do these and dare to do this, except for Li Dahan and Li Dagou, there are only people and horses left with ghost head knives, what is the reason, Li Dacheng probably knows that it is nothing more than that the people below want to increase his control over Zhenwei Jun, whether these things are done or not, in his opinion, it doesn't matter.

All the way to the road, Li Dacheng is also in line with the terrain on the map and the actual terrain, there are many tidal flats in the Jingu area, many places now look like a green gauze tent, once the rain comes is Zeguo, now this time is the time of the year when the rain is abundant, I don't know the terrain, I set up the wrong position, and I will fight a water war in the future.

The roads in the Jingu area are also conducive to defense, only the two main roads of Beitang and Dagu lead directly to Beijing and Tianjin, and the two roads along the coast are paved with stone slabs, and the foreign devils march to take the big road at the mouth of Dagu.

While walking and looking and asking, Nie Shicheng first went to the Beitang double base, Li Dacheng also had an exact understanding, the Beitang double base does not belong to the Dagukou Weizhen Haimen Gao five fort group, but in the north of Dagukou, which is a loophole in the Dagu Fort, Beitang north of Dagukou and Duliu south of Dagu Kou need to be defended by dividing troops, otherwise foreign devils can land in these two places and outflank Dagukou.

Except for Beitang, Duliu, and Dagukou, the rest of the place is almost all tidal flat swamps. It's not that it can't land, it's just that after landing, it's only suitable for light attack, and artillery and other things are transported in tidal flats and swamps, and the difficulty can be imagined.

In the middle of the morning. The vanguard arrived at the military grain city and joined the other half of Li Dahan's men and horses to capture the military grain city, they didn't spend a single shot, and the foreign devil army of several hundred people, seeing that the army was coming, directly retreated to Dagukou.

After a hurried meal of more than 100,000 troops in the military grain city. Li Dahan took his men and horses in the military grain city to Beitang, Li Dagou and Nie Shicheng led 30,000 horses and horses to attack the fort at Dagukou, and the remaining 30,000 people and horses were led by Li Dacheng. Raid the Dagu dock behind the Dagukou Fort.

The Dagu Dock is the place where the Tianjin Machinery Bureau builds submarines, and it has considerable manufacturing capacity, and on the way to the army, Li Dacheng is still thinking about how to protect the Dagu Dock!

But when he arrived at the place, Li Dacheng was a little discouraged, and seven or eight small gunboats were eyeing the Zhenwei army! I wanted to rush up and scare away the foreign devil gunboats entrenched in the Dagu dock, but people are not afraid! After a few rounds of shelling. Li Dacheng's men and horses dropped hundreds of corpses and retreated helplessly, rifles hit gunboats, this matter is too.

Fortunately, the guns on these gunboats were not giant guns. The firing range is limited, looking at the gunboats in the channel of the Haihe River for several miles across the river, Li Dacheng scratched his head a little, Luo Rongguang's men and horses are still on the way, Li Dagou and Nie Shicheng have already rushed to Dagukou, these gunboats will not be solved. The fort at Dagukou could not be held even if it was captured.

"Second master, the one in the river is the Beiyang Haizi hunting ship under Ye Junmen. Sea Dragon, Sea Bloom, Sea Blue, Sea Rhino. ”

Hearing the reply given by Nie Shicheng's subordinates, Li Dacheng was even more helpless. The Beiyang battleship has now changed its name and surname, and it uses its own warship to fight his own family, and Ye Zuqi, who escaped from the battle, should be damned! Raise the battleships of the Beiyang to the enemy, and his whole family should die!

"Send someone to inform Nie Junmen that if the fort at Dagukou cannot be attacked, let it go for the time being.

Send 20,000 people to pick up the headquarters of the Luo Army, even if they carry it, they must carry his artillery battalion to the Dagu dock before nightfall. ”

In addition to the Haizi battleship in the Beiyang, there are also a few small gunboats in the river, looking at the appearance of the Haizi, it should be a destroyer, and the waterway on the side of the Dagu dock should be able to take large warships, once a large warship comes, this battle cannot be fought at all.

Docks and batteries are built on land, and a strong attack is not impossible, but what about after a strong attack? Under the threat of warships, these places can't be defended at all, and the people and horses are live targets when they enter, I hope that Li Dagou and Nie Shicheng don't make stupid mistakes along the way, otherwise it will only increase casualties.

The fort is where the arrow is in the future, the heavy artillery is too damaged, the fort will lose its effect, not to mention the Dagu dock, such a factory is one of the few in the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to destroy, and it is difficult to build it after it is destroyed, the Dagu dock can build ships, not among the destruction of Li Dacheng.

Looking at the gray sea in the distance, Li Dacheng really felt a little powerless, the seven or eight gunboats in the vicinity can only be regarded as small ships, and the artillery equipped on them has a limited range and limited firepower, but once a large battleship such as a cruiser comes, those things are simply bunkers on the water, counting on Luo Rongguang's seven lives and five Krupp Mountain to sink the cruiser, this is a dream!

In addition, I don't know if the battleship of the foreign devil can drive in, once the battleship comes, retake the mouth of Dagu, the dream is empty!

After the remaining 10,000 people camped on the spot, the morale was not very good, although the gunboat was not big, but most of these people in the Zhenwei army had never seen this thing, the few rounds of salvos of the gunboat, the shock to the Zhenwei army was too great, and after a circle in the camp, Li Dacheng also heard the chanting of some people's incantations.

After Li Dacheng's side attacked once, he did not move, and the foreign devils who occupied the Dagu dock moved, not to attack, but to send a gunboat to Haikou, maybe this can buy Luo Rongguang and them some time, right?

looked at the flags on a few gunboats, most of them were Lao Maozi's military flags, and it was not easy to bluff Lao Maozi! Lao Maozi is the wolf of the north, he can't eat it, and he won't let go lightly.

Waiting for Luo Rongguang's artillery battalion, waiting for Li Dahan and others to reply, it has become an extremely torturous time, I am afraid that a few people will not know how powerful, and they will directly defend the fleet of foreign devils, and attack the fleet with the army, just kidding!

Luo Rongguang was delayed, but Nie Shicheng and Li Dagou came all the way, the three forts on the south bank of Dagukou changed hands, and the foreign devils retreated to the north bank, and the two sides each held the forts and did not conflict.

"This shouldn't be......"

Playing with the battle report from Nie Shicheng. Li Dacheng's eyebrows were furrowed, the firepower of the Dagu Fort was enough to destroy any warship within the range of firepower, and the three batteries changed hands, and the warships of the foreign devils were about to be mortally threatened.

"Could it be that the foreign devil wants to run?"

After asking this question. Li Dacheng himself directly vetoed it, the 15,000 army is still inside, and it is impossible for foreign devils to run.

"Divergence!"

This explanation should be the most appropriate, foreign devils are not monolithic, the Boxers directly affected Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, and small Japan is not counted. The remaining five countries of Austria, Italy and Jossippi are basically soy sauce, the United States and France have no intention of colonizing, and the interests of the other are in the southeast, Britain still has to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the tough ones are Germany, Japan and Russia. The Huangzhuang annihilation battle did not kill a few German devils, obviously their men and horses have not yet arrived, and most of the remaining Japanese and Russian, army forces have been confessed in Huangzhuang, and the navy, compared with Britain and France and other countries, they are still weaker, and there is no army support. The navy cannot fight a land war.

Nie Shicheng and Li Dagou's men and horses rushed to the Dagu Fort, which meant that something had happened to the army for the devils of Zhuyang. Disagreement, wait-and-see, hesitation, and insufficient number of land forces should be the reason why Nie Shicheng and them recaptured Dagukou.

In this way, it should be very smooth on the Beitang side, but this Dagu dock is a little tricky, I am afraid that Luo Rongguang's artillery camp is coming, and there is no way to help the gunboats on the water.

In the evening. Luo Rongguang arrived at Li Dacheng's temporary camp with more than 30 Krupp mountain guns and looked at the six gunboats on the river. This Luo Junmen was directly coaxed.

"Second master, our artillery battalion is not the opponent of the four ships of the Haizi. The four ships have a total of 36 Krupp rapid-fire guns, which are much faster than the Krupp mountain guns. ”

Luo Rongguang's words are good, the gunboats are moving, although the mountain artillery can also move, but the surrounding terrain is not good! On the soft and collapsed muddy ground, it is very difficult for the mountain cannon to walk, and the mountain cannon moves slowly.

"If you don't have a chance of winning, you have to try, push ten guns up to fight, the foreign devils are worried about their army, maybe they will retreat?"

Ten seven-life and five-mountain guns, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sink the gunboat on the water, but for the people on the gunboat, it is still quite lethal, this is similar to the first Sino-Japanese war, don't try, little Japan doesn't know that the army of the Qing Dynasty is vulnerable, now the foreign devils have lost their land advantage, their side is tougher, maybe the foreign devils will retreat?

As long as the main guns of the Dagukou Fort are available, the deterrent power on Li Dacheng's side will become more and more.

"Second master, the line of sight is not good near evening, I'm afraid I can't hit it if I go up."

"Hard!"

"Mark and command!"

Ten Krupp mountain guns, under Li Dacheng's strong order, were pushed into the range of artillery fire, after a few shots, as Li Dacheng expected, the foreign devil's gunboat chose to retreat, but the distance of retreat was not very large, a little action, the mountain artillery position was still within their range.

Without waiting for Luo Rongguang to report the good news, there was a roar in the Dagu dock in the distance, and a huge ball of light appeared above the Dagu dock, what was it that exploded.

"!"

Li Dacheng hatefully threw the telescope in his hand to the ground, but finally did not stop the foreign devils from destroying the dock.

"Second master, what just exploded was the fire in the Dagu dock. The medicine storehouse, it seems that the foreign devils are going to be withdrawn. ”

"It's just fire. Drug depot? ”

Listening to Luo Rongguang's words, Li Dacheng's heart was light, if only it was a medicine storehouse.

"Exactly! There is a distance between the medicine depot and the factory, and that place can only be the medicine depot, and the foreign devils are guarding against the artillery in the dock. ”

"And artillery there?"

"Hmmm! There were several Krupp heavy guns for protection. ”

"Oh...... Nie Junmen's side has already occupied three forts on the south bank, you send someone over to see how many artillery pieces can be used, and quickly ask the Jinmen side to prepare ammunition.

I'm afraid the same is true of those three forts. ”

With a wry smile, Li Dacheng gave Luo Rongguang an order, Li Dacheng is embarrassed to use this word, and foreign devils are not stupid, even if they can't destroy the main gun of the fort, they won't leave ammunition.

The foreign devils know the reality of the Dagukou Fort, the fort without ammunition is the decoration, at the speed of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to reactivate the Dagukou Fort, it is not a day or two, no one is a fool!

Now give up the Dagu dock and the fort, it should be regarded as a means of retreating, there is no ammunition, occupying a fort is to step on a trap to kill soldiers, now the gunboats of foreign devils can crisscross the Haihe River at will, there is no distance, the fort is useless!

Sure enough, at night, Beitang and Dagukou came again with good news, Beitang double base to hand, Weizhen Haimen high five forts to hand, another fort in Dagukou, stone crack fort, also returned to the hands of the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately more than 90 coastal defense heavy artillery in Dagukou was destroyed, in addition to the main guns of each fort, other artillery lost most of them, and the ammunition naturally did not leave at all.

"Second master, if you take the waterway, the ammunition in Xigu's inventory can be transported to Dagukou within a day, but the main gun ammunition is just in stock, and Xigu's inventory will not be too much."

At night, Luo Rongguang gave Li Dacheng another problem, the lack of ammunition is a big problem!

"Can the machine be built?"

"It can be made, but the flowering bomb we made is not very easy to use, and the medicine is different."

"Let's make it! I'll let the machine bureau hurry up, and you'll see if you can repair some artillery, and if you can get the artillery of the Dagu Fort? ”

"If you can't get it down, the main gun will cost 40,000 or 50,000 catties, and the medium cannon will have to be 20,000 or 30,000 catties, it will take time to dismantle it, and it will take time to assemble it.

Recovering the lost territory, it sounded jubilant, but Li Dacheng felt that he was suffering, shells, positions, these can be done, but how to deal with the gunboats of foreign devils?

Within a day or two, he didn't have the ability to block the main stream of the Haihe River, which was difficult! (To be continued).
