Chapter 362: River Blockade

The Australian Navy has always been the pride of the Australian army, for them, the mud legs of the army are not at their level at all, and the main reason for this is that the navy has its own marine corps, and the number has been expanded to two regiments. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This expedition, although they joined the army sequence, but they did not regard themselves as an army unit, but regarded themselves as the trump card in the army, for them, Lu Jun's combat effectiveness was too weak, and it was not at the same level as them at all.

In fact, it's not exactly what they think, the combat effectiveness of the army is still very strong, after all, it is impossible to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty without a little strength, as for whether the strength of the Marine Corps is strong or the strength of the army, this is actually not comparable.

The training of the Marine Corps is organized in accordance with the method of special operations, while the training of the Army is trained in the form of conventional operations.

So even if they think highly of themselves, but for the army, they also look down on the navy a little, and the navy plays a small role in land wars, so it is said that in the previous foreign expansions, which time was not won by the army, so all this is nothing to them.

Another is that the navy does not participate in many battles, and if you count it, there are not as many battles as the army, and in one case, the navy does not play a big role, so the two sides basically look down on each other.

But this time it was different, they did need to cooperate, and the Army needed to force the Azig troops to cross the river in boats so that their Navy colleagues could play their part.

In that case, they have to work together, for whatever reason.

Sun Yang's ship had already arrived at the secret point, and was waiting for the army forces to force Azig onto the ship.

Now that everything is ready, it is up to them whether this cooperation can complete their tasks well.

In their opinion, the army is a place where a group of uneducated talents will go, unlike the educated young people recruited by their navy.

Captain, do you think the enemy will cross the river as scheduled, and in this case, can we still complete the blockade?

A Navy soldier asked Sun Yang that in his opinion, these armies did not seem to have this ability.

At this time, it was impossible for Azig to keep a large area south of the Yangtze River, so he could only choose to retreat, otherwise what awaited him would be a devastating disaster, so he had to retreat.

The retreat was not as easy as he thought, after all, no matter what, the strength of the Australian Legion was still very strong, and he had already learned this.

In order to ensure that he is not completely wiped out by them, he must have a skill, and that is to retreat rhythmically, so that he can guarantee his troops.

What scares him now is whether the Australians will block them on the river, after all, the Yangtze River is so wide, once they start a war on the river, it will be a catastrophe for them, most of the Eight Banners will not be water-based, and once they are attacked, they will definitely not be able to resist.

It's not safe to go back and forth, it's possible to keep his strength by retreating, if he advances, he has to beat the Australians, and at the moment, from the current situation, there is no such possibility, so he doesn't feel that he has such a possibility.

To defeat the Australians, you must first defeat them in weapons, otherwise there is really no such possibility, although the Eight Banners are fighting hard, but when they encounter a strong opponent like Australia, he has no choice, so he still has to retreat anyway.

Before investigating the situation, you must ensure that you can retreat without fail, otherwise you are likely to be killed by the Australians if you go like this.

In the past few days, Azig has sent a number of secret detectives on the river, and found that he has not observed the whereabouts of the Australian ships, although he has received news that they will come, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with all this.

After a few days of observation, he decided to withdraw his troops, as the Australian offensive became more and more fierce, if he continued to stay here, he would not be able to retreat, so he had to withdraw quickly from the scene, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to have another chance.

In fact, the Australian side also received the news of their retreat, but they just pretended that nothing had happened, and now as long as they crossed the river, then the navy would immediately come over to block it.

The whole battle was divided into two parts, one part was to attack on the river when they were halfway across the river, and the other part was to encircle them on land, and then they could only be slaughtered by the Australian army without caring about each other.

So at this time, it is necessary to ensure that they cross the river, and at the same time, in order to let them cross the river, the Australian Army has deliberately slowed down the intensity of the attack, and it can be said that it is very good to be able to do it now.

In order to ensure the safety of the troops crossing the river, Dolgon also sent a lot of troops north of the Yangtze River to help them, and if they encountered the enemy on the river at that time, they still had the ability to resist.

It's just that he underestimated the Australian naval forces, not to mention the speed of the ships, and another advantage is that their artillery is very powerful, which they ignore the criticality of the problem.

The artillery is powerful, which means that they can attack very strongly at long range, so if they knew the Australian Navy well, they would not be in such a hurry to cross the river.

But at the same time, it also shows another problem, that is, in this case, they actually have no other feasible way, and the most important thing is that they really have nothing feasible, Wu Sangui's rebellion has led to the fact that it is impossible for them to merge in the south, so they must withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River at this time, so it is possible to ensure that they will not be wiped out, of course, they themselves know this, so they will retreat very quickly.

The most important thing at the moment was to speed up the retreat, and Azig ordered the troops to retreat in the morning and evening, and it would definitely be beneficial for them to retreat when it was dark and not too dark.

After all, everyone will let their guard down at this time, and even if Australians find something wrong, it will be difficult to react.

Azig thinks so, but this does not mean that he knows about Australia, so he actually wants to die knowing that all this decision he has made is wrong, and he will definitely commit suicide in shame. (To be continued.) )
