Chapter 141: The Tough German Tank (3)
87_87379After deducing the battle situation in the middle of the night, he didn't find any good way for Dagukou, and Li Dacheng barely slept for more than an hour under the urging of Wanru.
In the morning, Gui Shun was promoted to discuss the matter, and ordered Song Qingbu, Li Bingheng, Dong Fuxiang, and Jinmen Lianjun to go to the front line of Dagukou.
Song Qing, Li Bingheng, Dong Fuxiang, the generals sent over there, one or two were prevarications, Gui Shun was furious, and the generals sent to Jinmen by the three departments were slaughtered together, and the military order was inserted in the head of the three departments and sent to the three departments.
Song Qing's main force, after receiving the military order, directly retreated to the north of Shanhaiguan, Ma Yukun's Wuwei right army, with the emperor's order, had to obey Gui Shun's military order, slowly began to move towards Dagukou, according to his speed, ten days and a half months I am afraid that it will not be able to reach Dagukou more than 100 miles away.
Dong Fuxiang's department, like Song Qing, ran to the direction of the Beijing division with his tail between his legs, and Li Bingheng also wanted to take people to follow Dong Fuxiang's department to the Beijing division, but he was blocked by the Zhenwei army, cut off the grain and grass, and it was not so easy to go.
Gui Shun's military order, the Zhenwei army naturally has to be maintained, there is no threat of the concession area, there are 50,000 elites of the Zhenwei army near Jinmen, more than 30,000 wounded soldiers, and it is naturally not a problem to surround a Li Bingheng, military strength is only the last strength in this scene, what is really good is the authority of Gui Shun to control the military affairs of Jinmen, he is the military order sent by the emperor is not different from the emperor's order, otherwise the military generals of the second and third grades of the imperial court can be killed if they want to? The Emperor ordered Qin to move the real character, and Su Yong had to go to the front line of Dagukou.
Just listen to the order, in the afternoon, Gui Shun issued a military order at the government office to arrive in two days. If you don't obey the military order, you will kill the main general, in other places, Ma Yukun and Li Bingheng may dare to snub the military order, but they can't succeed in Jinmen, the land of Gyeonggi. The generals who lead the troops must be cautious in everything they say and do, and if they do not respect the military orders sent by the Qin, they will punish you for the crime of neglect, and if the worst is the crime of rebellion by raiding the house and destroying the door, no one can afford it.
Take advantage of the time when Ma Yukun and Li Bingheng opened to Dagukou. Li Dacheng set up a second line of defense in Jinmen, relying on the Tianjin Concession, Chengchi, and Beicang, with Qi Shiduo guarding the concession, Cao Baofu guarding Jinmen, and Li Dagou and Yang Mushi guarding Beicang.
This one-word long snake formation is laid out, and it is basically impossible for foreign devils to directly attack the Jingshi. Regardless of whether Jingu goes straight to the capital, it is looking for death, the flank is attacked in the hot weapon battle, and the casualties are just a trivial matter, and if it is not done well, it will be a big rout.
As long as Lao Maozi doesn't come from Shanhaiguan, no matter how many coalition troops there are, how many troops there are, and where they land. If you want to enter Beijing, you have to cross this long snake formation, and use the arrogance of foreign devils. They will inevitably fight from beginning to end, if they can really do this, this battle can only be a war of attrition, even if they can hit the capital, more than 200,000 Zhenwei army, Wuwei army, Su Yong, Lian army, 100,000 guns, 200 cannons. Even if they can't be cut off limbs and arms, they can be allowed to spit out a mouthful of old blood in the Jingu area.
The second line of defense is arranged. Li Dacheng saw his brothers, subordinates, women, future women and father-in-law one by one, and this time he may be a farewell to death. With Qi Shiduo, Cao Baofu, and Li Dagou here, how can the Zhenwei army play some fierce spirit, as long as Gui Shun can escape, the British should support him in the future, even if there is no himself, there is Gui Shun, there is the property looted before, the Zhenwei army will also be a family of its own, there are interests and wealth, and no one can stop the formation of the Zhenwei army.
After leaving Li Cheng with a long letter of tens of thousands of words, Li Dacheng only took Qian Laoba and five hundred ghost head knives and got on the train that went straight to Dagu.
Looking at the green gauze tents around the railway all the way, Li Dacheng also hoped to be on top of Dagukou for two months, so that how could the Beijing and Tianjin areas be able to collect hundreds of thousands of more stone grain, and with these grains, many people would be starved to death.
Arrived at the Dagu dock, Li Dacheng began the pre-war deployment, Luo Rongguang's men and horses are the most valuable, they should be withdrawn from the fort to the rear of the Dagu dock, station, and wharf, artillery support is the key to this battle, Nie Shicheng's Beitang on the side, should not be the main direction of attack of foreign devils, once Dagu is defeated, Nie Shicheng goes west to Jinmen, and north to Shanhaiguan, so that the relatively weak Lian army can be reinforced, which can be regarded as enhancing the combat power of Dagukou.
Li Dahan sits in the Dagukou Fort, the current Dagukou Fort, just five traps, the stone crack fort hangs outside the sea mouth, unavailable, Li Dacheng took the initiative to give up, the Megatron Sea Gate is five places high across the shore to watch, in the land battle, it can also be regarded as a fortress.
The fort at the mouth of Dagu is different from other places, the fort is to build a city and repair the river, five forts, 30,000 people to defend it, enough to fight a period of time to attack the fort and block the battle.
Li Bingheng's department asked for a good boy, guarding the back of the fort, this guy is also a goods with no ability, what is a good thing, the first offensive of foreign devils is bound to cross the fort at Dagukou, the place where Li Bingheng's Su Yong is stationed is the first battlefield, can withstand it, Li Bingheng's men and horses still have a way to live, and if they can't stand it, they will have to suffer the slaughter of both foreign devils and Zhenwei Army.
Ma Yukun, born in poverty, fighting in the Qing Dynasty generals is considered brave, and Li Bingheng seems to be a loyal minister, let him be cannon fodder It's a pity, in the middle of Dagu and Beitang to pick up the flat burden, is Li Dacheng gave him an errand, Dagu here does not need him, once the foreign devil wants to land from Beitang, Ma Yukun's Wuwei Right Army is Nie Shicheng's backup, even if Beitang is defeated, with Ma Yukun here, Song Qing of Shanhaiguan will not let his five or six thousand men and horses go, This hand also indirectly pulled the army of Shanhaiguan into the war, involving its own interests, it is impossible to run away, Jinmen is not lost, Song Qing does not dare to leave Shanhaiguan and ignore it, the fault is that he is really not afraid of death, if he is really not afraid of death, is he still afraid of foreign devils?
The remaining more than 110,000 people, Li Dacheng laid out an arc-shaped defense line along the Dagu dock, wharf, and station, and there were 150,000 people on the Dagu front, which sounds like a lot, but with such a point, there are not many people on each defense line. 150,000 people, how can they fight to the death of 70,000 or 80,000 opponents.
But war is not played like this, and the battle formation laid out by Li Dacheng is not afraid of melee, nor is he afraid of straight goods. I am afraid that the opponent will divide his troops to break the entire defense line, and the more than 7,000 German devils seem to be small in number, but they are divided into seven roads, regardless of life and death, and the defense line of 150,000 people may not be able to stop others. Let's hope the opponent is a rectum who goes all the way......
Under such an overall situation, the war cannot be fought at all, and once the defense line of Dagukou is broken, the Zhenwei army will be dispersed. Even if there is a supervising team, it can't gather more than 100,000 people to disperse, the war is a big gamble, Li Dacheng is betting that the foreign devils will not let go of the Zhenwei army, and want to defeat the Zhenwei army head-on, if this bet is not successful, history is still history.
Li Dacheng's military orders, the implementation of the Zhenwei army is still somewhat strong. Li Bingheng hesitated, and there were those who really dared to disobey and disrespect, this person was none other than him. It is Luo Rongguang, the general of Dagu, who holds the title of admiral of the imperial court.
In the past few days when Li Dacheng arranged the defense line, Luo Rongguang came to make trouble every day, because the Zhenwei army under his command was strong, and he had to be familiar with the operation of the coastal defense artillery in the five forts at Dagukou, and the personnel would not be withdrawn if the war did not start. Luo Rongguang didn't have any sin of disobedience.
"I want to see the second master!"
There was an angry roar outside the door, and Li Dacheng knew that Luo Rongguang was here again. answered and let Luo Rongguang enter the house, this can be regarded as a pastime......
"Second master. The Zhenwei Army Artillery Battalion is already completely familiar with the operation of the coastal defense cannon, and the Dagu coastal shooting Zhu Yuan also has it in mind, as long as the fleet of foreign devils dares to come, they dare not say anything about defeating their subordinates, but as long as there are three salvo shots, sinking three or two warships, subordinates can make a military order! ”
This is Luo Rongguang's fixed opening remarks, he said so yesterday, and the day before yesterday also said so, the battleship in his mouth is not a gunboat, but a large warship such as a cruiser, the loss of two or three battleships is a big loss for the navy of any country, and it is still a good deal to exchange five batteries in Dagu for two or three large warships of the opponent.
However, this is not in line with Li Dacheng's plan, and the foreign devils already have detailed Zhuyuan of various artillery positions in Dagukou, whether there can be two or three salvos, it is difficult to say!
There are eight 340 mm guns and 14 210 mm guns, and the rest are all Krupp original guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and dozens of front-loading small guns that can be used as antiques are not counted, as long as such firepower can hit, the damage to the battleship is irreversible, and the damage to the coastal defense guns is also irreversible under the bombardment of the main guns of the 200 to 300 mm battleships of foreign devils.
Compared with destroying two or three warships, what Li Dacheng wants to see more is these huge cannons, pouring dozens of tons of flowering shells into the Japanese-Russian cluster army, why the fort is sacked, is to bury these heavy artillery, to avoid the first few rounds of shelling by foreign devils, as long as the foreign devils are sure that the Dagu fort has been destroyed, they will gather a large number of troops within the range of the fort, after all, the defensive direction of the Dagu fort is the easiest place to land.
One or twenty thousand or even twenty or thirty thousand flowering bombs of several hundred catties, within a few hours, all fell on the heads of the assembled army troops, and Li Dacheng couldn't help but tremble when he thought about that scene, what a wonderful scene!
But these words can't be said to Luo Rongguang, Luo Rongguang is a person from the imperial court, Dagukou Fort has the opportunity to destroy the enemy ship and give it up in vain, and it doesn't make sense to talk to those literati in the future, this is a stain on Gui Shun, and Li Dacheng naturally wants to avoid such a thing.
"Luo Rongguang, are you illiterate?
Lao Tzu is telling you the third time, the foreign devil has already calculated our shooting yuan, there are at least thirty warships outside the mouth of Dagu, with each battleship four twelve-inch main guns and four eight-inch secondary guns, how many long-range large-caliber guns are there?
Two hundred and forty gates! This is only a conservative estimate, how many warships of more than 10,000 tons have you counted? Lao Tzu estimated that there were as many as seven or eight ships, at least 300 large-caliber guns against five batteries, and 60 guns at each point!
How many guns do we have on one of our batteries? Less than fifteen! Four doors to fight one, shooting Zhu Yuan is still in the hands of others, Lao Tzu is five places high in the Megatron Sea Gate, 30,000 horses are arranged, counting your people There are more than 40,000 people in total, do you want them all to die on the fort?
No matter what you Luo Rongguang said, when the foreign devils landed, the artillery of the five forts must also be buried with sacks! ”
Li Dacheng's reason is a reason, but it is very far-fetched, the warship is moving, the sea is also moving, even if there is an accurate gun position in Dagukou, without a few rounds of debugging, it is difficult for the foreign devil's naval artillery to accurately destroy the artillery in Dagukou, according to Luo Rongguang, the Dagukou fort may not have the opportunity to fire three salvos, and Li Dacheng's accounting method is also a theoretical value, thirty warships, it is impossible to gather together to attack the fort, that is also looking for death.
The greater the density of the fleet, the easier it is for the shore batteries to fight, if the foreign devils really concentrate on the warships used to besiege Dagukou, Li Dacheng would have liked that Luo Rongguang could fire a few volleys, and at that time it would not have sunk two or three battleships......
"Second master, your account is wrong! The five forts at the mouth of Dagu are built across the sea, and the battleships here have to hit the forts, at most two of them will form a team, and we will have a chance if there are more. ”
Why did Luo Rongguang come, it was because he figured out Li Dacheng's crooked reasoning in the past two days, there are many foreign devils with artillery, and there are few cannons at the mouth of Dagu, which sounds good, but foreign devils are not stupid, attacking the fort at the mouth of Dagu, and the two battleship formations approaching the attack fort are already considered a cluster offensive, and six ships are gathered in one fort, so a fool can do that!
Before Luo Rongguang laid mines around Haikou, the battleships also needed their own space to hit the batteries, anyway, no matter how they were calculated, it was impossible for the thirty warships of the foreign devils to launch an artillery bombardment on the five batteries at the mouth of Dagu at the same time, as long as there was such a gap, he Luo Rongguang could seize the opportunity to destroy the enemy ships.
"That's it! Lao Tzu will give you Luo Rongguang to leak some real things, the next war in Dagukou will flow in an orderly manner, and the first one will definitely be the German devil!
The German devils have fewer warships here, and the fewer warships, the fewer opportunities for our batteries to make contributions, who has the most warships outside? Best to fight? Old hairy!
Put down the German devils, and then there is Lao Maozi and Little Japanese, the two of them will come together if they can't figure it out, and we won't have a chance at that time?
What do you say about this trick? It should be called showing weakness, right?
Before the German devils landed, the fleet outside the mouth was bound to bombard the Dagukou fort, what we had to do was to protect those artillery, and when the foreign devils were not guarded, more than 40 huge cannons, hulala, came to a pass, hehe......"
Li Dacheng smiled gloomily, Luo Rongguang is the same, this is the real thing, he also feels light, showing weakness to the enemy, foreign devils are not guarded, more than forty giant cannons, it is really hehe.
"Second master, it's fifty-six now! There are a few broken bases, but they can still be fired at the sea. ”
"Hmmm! That's the best! You Luo Rongguang looked at the bottom and buried our treasures, and you must not let these treasures be damaged in the fire of the enemy ships.
Those guns with a bad base are just used to fight back, what a fake show! ”
"If that's the case, those cannons with broken muzzles can also be used, only with primer and not shells, from a distance, they are also good cannons!"
"That's it! You have to pay more attention to the affairs of the fort, but the drills of other gunners should also be paid attention to, the shooting of the land of Jingu, hurry up and get it out, the strength of the Zhenwei army does not understand this, and will only draw a scoop according to the gourd, you must take this gourd with you! (To be continued).
