Chapter 722: Aircraft Carrier Sortie
One after another 125-millimeter steel ball shells exploded in mid-air, and dense steel balls rained out, crackling the earth as if it had been hit by hail, whether hiding in the crater or behind obstacles, the terrorists could not be spared.
Those who crawled on the ground were even more unlucky, because they suffered from a much larger area of steel balls, and their whole bodies were bleeding, and the blood around their bodies began to spread, quickly soaking the earth.
The soldiers of the Tiance Army who rushed out of the armored vehicle attacked forward in a straggler formation, and the fish that slipped through the net were quickly cleared in the burst of automatic rifle fire.
The will to fight of the daredevils was not as firm as imagined, and those who deliberately fell behind were stunned by the tragic situation of their own side, shouted, got up and ran.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! "Behind the fleeing Qing army, there are flowers of blood.
Dolgon's death squad was neatly wiped out by the Tiance army, although it did not play the slightest role, it still bought the Qing army a little time.
The most elite cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners of the Gaizhou Defense Line led by Du Du, the king of Anping County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was located at the rear of the defense line as the mobile force of the entire battlefield.
The Qing army in the Battle of Gaizhou was arranged in echelons, and the Han army flag in the front-line position was absolute cannon fodder, followed by hardcore traitor troops such as Gongshun Wang Kong Youde and Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, and then there were blood relatives such as Mengbaqi who were constantly married to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and finally the authentic Manchu Eight Banners were pressed.
As the owner of the red flag, Wang Du of Anping County of Qing Dynasty led the cavalry of the three banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was inlaid with red flags, white flags, and blue flags, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Waifan Mongolia converged, with a total of about 30,000 cavalry stationed here, waiting for the order of Prince Rui Dolgon at any time, and gave Yu Tiance the army a fatal blow.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the Tiance army doesn't want money and cannonballs come to the sky, endlessly, the entire cavalry unit of the essence of the Gaizhou defense line has suffered heavy losses, and the loss is nearly half, and the Tiance army has been killed in front of them.
Although these cavalry were gathered from various departments and suffered heavy artillery losses, after all, they were Manchu descendants, and they knew that there was no end to the eggs under the nest, and the elite was the elite.
Eight Type 99 tanks quickly turned their muzzles, and the steel ball shells rushed out of the muzzles one after another, pouring a rain of steel beads on the cavalry units of the Qing army, and 128 armored vehicles lined up, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns fired from point to burst, and the firing speed became more and more intensive, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army who came in vehicles also joined the ranks of shooting.
Nearly 20,000 cavalry of the Qing army had just raised the speed of their horses, and they had already begun to turn over on their backs, and the blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of Qing soldiers or horses, and in the blink of an eye, a large piece of the Qing army's forward was cut off, and thousands of people were killed on the way to attack, and the casualties were jaw-dropping.
"Stupid! Bastard! With the sharpness of Tiance's weapons and the sturdiness of its chariots, how could it be so reckless and face the enemy head-on? Du Du is asking me to send the Qing warriors to death! ”
Seeing that the defeat was decided, and the scene of heavy casualties sent chills down Dolgon's spine, he was racking his brains on how to deal with the aftermath, but when he saw that his cavalry unit was sent to the Tiance army under the command of Du Du to be slaughtered, he immediately burst into a rage.
Prince Zheng Zilharang also reacted, and ordered loudly: "Immediately blow the trumpet and order the cavalry to retreat quickly." ”
Before the horn of retreat sounded, the cavalry of the Qing army could no longer hold on, and under the blow of the rapid-fire weapons of the Tiance army, these knights who thought they were brave had been frightened, and they turned around one after another, and fled towards Gaizhou.
"Woooooo When the vast horn sounded, there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound in the direction of Gaizhou City, and the west city wall of Gaizhou seemed to have suddenly erupted, and the dense explosion points kept flashing, and the ancient city wall wrapped in blue bricks quickly collapsed under the blow of modern artillery.
The shells flew from the sea, and the 85-millimeter anti-aircraft guns on the two coast guard warships and the four coast surveillance warships opened fire with all their might, and the shells slammed into the Gaizhou city wall six kilometers away across the sea and land.
Two or three kilometers away from the coast of Gaizhou, a huge sea ship like an island floating on the sea, crawling on the sea like a prehistoric monster, there are many small boats gathered around it, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army are stepping into the small boat from the giant ship, and after being fully loaded, the small boat quickly left, heading towards Gaizhou.
At the same time, 36 Zhi-18 transport planes and 8 Wuzhi-9 helicopters also took off from the giant ship and rushed towards Gaizhou.
This giant ship is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the operation against the Qing Dynasty, the Tiance Navy dispatched a total of three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will change its original design intention in this time and space, mainly used as a platform for the Tiance Army to send troops overseas long-range, and the carrier of armed helicopters.
Due to the limitations of technology and the different targets of attack, the carrier-based aircraft, missiles, and other advanced weapons on the aircraft carrier could not be used for a while, and what the Tiance Army could use at present was the huge loading capacity and long-distance sailing capacity of the aircraft carrier, so the aircraft carrier became the largest troop carrier in this time and space.
At present, the Tiance Army already has eight nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, one each in Taiwan, Shanghai, Tianjin, Incheon, Hong Kong and other places, which are temporarily used for local power supply.
Two power plants and a large number of wind power facilities have been built in Shanghai and Tianjin, but the demand for electricity is still high.
In particular, Shanghai, as the starting point city in the south of the Yangtze River key construction area, a large number of industrial layout is unfolding, among which the key project Baoshan County steel base is under intense construction.
Suzhou as the governor of Yingtian is also an important textile town, hydraulic textile factories have blossomed everywhere, according to Wang Yue's concept, Suzhou's textile industry will be upgraded in recent years, so Shanghai power plant will undertake the task of supplying power to Suzhou.
The industrial belt along the river will stretch all the way to Ma'anshan, near Nanjing, where a huge iron ore mine is located.
The original intention of the aircraft carrier design was certainly not to transport troops, so it could not dock without a port, so each aircraft carrier was equipped with ten small landing craft.
The use of the anti-Qing operation to dispatch aircraft carriers is also a kind of actual combat test, and what can really achieve a rapid beaching and landing is still four passenger and cargo ro-ro wheels, one after another amphibious assault vehicles launched from the tail of the passenger and cargo ro-ro wheels, rushing to the shore, the task of these 30 assault vehicles is to clear the road to Gaizhou, for the subsequent marines.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have the concept of maritime defense at all, and of course did not have this ability, and the Tiance army that crossed the sea went all the way to the city of Gaizhou without hindrance.
