Chapter 1034: Take Shanghai Beach
Zhang Yi, who got the news of Cai Yi, smiled bitterly, this Zhang Yihu is much more irritable than himself, it seems that Lao Feng's death is too exciting for him;
Zhang Yi immediately called back Cai Ye and said that there was no need to rush back to Yangzhou, first assist Zhang Yihu to fight this battle, and then take Shanghai and drive all the forces of the Western powers out of Shanghai! “
got Zhang Yi's callback, Cai Yi is now completely speechless, Zhang Yihu, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, has lost his calm and can still understand, this commander is originally a hot temper, just a little bit. [ ] But when did the great president become so rude? Could it be that Commander Tan's death stimulated them so much?
Cai Yi, there is nothing to say now, let's fight, a division will attack Shanghai, and it will take three days, is this too nervous?
Cai Yi said to Zhang Yihu: "Commander, let's just let the Eighth Division attack Shanghai, isn't the strength too thin, is that after all, the situation is too complicated, almost all the Western countries have garrisons in Shanghai, together, there are at least thousands of people, not to mention that they also have warships to help?" ”
Zhang Yihu sneered: "Weak troops? No! No matter how powerful the Western powers are, under our attack, they will definitely not be able to hold Shanghai! You can rest assured to concentrate my forces on me, gesture to Feng Guozhang fiercely, order, the first cavalry division, immediately attack, from the gap in the middle, straight to Feng Guozhang's Chinese army, if you want to fight, just fight ruthlessly, capture the thief and capture the king first, a cavalry division, the group has been played to death by Feng Guozhang! ”
Cai Yi didn't give up and asked, "Commander, is it really possible?" Aren't Western warships fuel-efficient lamps? ”
Zhang Yihu sneered: "They have warships, don't we have them, tonight, our third division will arrive in Shanghai, the Huaxia fleet escort, get to Shanghai Huangpu, will launch a full-scale offensive from the sea as soon as possible, they still want to hold Shanghai, dream!" ”
Cai Ye suddenly realized, how can I say that this guy is so confident, it turns out that there is still a division floating on the sea, two divisions plus a Chinese fleet, not to mention a Shanghai, that is, to attack the whole of Zhejiang, there is no problem!
Cai Ye no longer worried about Shanghai, and focused all his thoughts on Feng Guozhang's troops. [.com almost all the books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station.,It's faster than the average station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] (s. on love)
Let's talk about Shanghai, this time the British and the French are really a little angry, holding a warship and saying that they want to scare this group of Chinese revolutionary troops, who knows, they didn't scare, and they directly began to fight back!
Rub, since this group of people don't want face, then don't give them face, transfer the army! The navy, the army, all transferred, must give them a lesson to see, last time because of the distraction between the Boer War and Vietnam, the two powers did not have the energy to fight with the Chinese tiger with all their might, so he took advantage, this time we must give them some color!
It's just that before Britain and France ordered the transfer of troops, the Chinese Revolutionary Army was released.
In the last artillery battle, because Cai Ye did not give an order, it was just a small fight, just a regiment and an artillery battalion, and it was just a counterattack, so naturally there was no big movement.
But this time it was different, the entire Eighth Division rushed up, and in just one morning, it surrounded the western part of Shanghai and the northern part of the country, and a reorganized artillery regiment took the lead in launching an attack, and countless shells flew towards the British and French concessions, and in the blink of an eye, the British and French concessions were completely plunged into a sea of fire!
Whether it is the British and French concessions that are messed up, the whole of Shanghai is messed up!
At this time, Shanghai only has less than two regiments of the Qing army, and it is still a garrison, the combat power is underground, as soon as the cannon of the Chinese Revolutionary Army sounds, it has been frightened and scolded, and it has been scattered, and the whole Shanghai has entered a state of loss of control, not only that, but even the common people are fleeing, scattered, and Shanghai has almost become an empty city!
The Western powers, led by Britain and France, could no longer sit still, and mobilized all their efforts to mobilize warships and garrisons around Shanghai in an attempt to respond to the war.
In a hurry, the great powers gathered more than ten warships, plus four or five thousand troops stationed in various countries, and began to use the Huangpu River as the boundary to launch a fierce confrontation with the Eighth Division!
The cannonballs in the sky above Shanghai, flying back and forth, completely enveloped Shanghai, and the rumbling sound of artillery has turned Shanghai into a hell on earth!
After all, it was the armies of the Western powers, and with the help of the navy, for a whole afternoon, the Eighth Division was unable to help the coalition forces of various countries, and each suffered damage.
Lin Xiao was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and there was nothing he could do, across the special Huangpu River, your infantry couldn't swim over, right?
Now we can only hope that the artillery regiment will repel the warships of various countries, but most of these more than ten warships are ironclad cruisers, even if a few shells hit the deck, it is difficult to sink them at that time, and they can't even do heavy damage!
It was not until the evening that the fleets and garrisons of the Western powers in Hong Kong began to arrive near Shanghai one after another, and participated in the great war.
It's just that across the Huangpu River, the artillery regiment of the Eighth Division can't help other people's fleets, and the fleets of various countries, also because the number of infantry is too small, can't help the Eighth Division, and they are completely deadlocked on the Huangpu River.
At the critical time, the Huaxia Fleet, under the leadership of Liu Buchan, escorted the Third Division to the vicinity of Songjiang in Shanghai.
Liu Buyun immediately ordered two warships to cover the landing of the Third Division, and the rest of the main fleet approached the banks of the Huangpu River and launched an attack directly on the fleets of various countries!
At this moment, the fleets of various countries can't support it, if there is only an artillery regiment plus infantry, it is indeed impossible to help a fleet, but this fleet itself is a temporary patchwork of several countries, and there is not even a unified commander, the battle artillery regiment is okay, the Huaxia fleet rushes up from behind, and dozens of cannons fire together, they can't withstand it!
The main warships of the Huaxia Fleet are now not inferior to the main forces of the British fleet, and in the face of such a fleet, it is certain that it will have the upper hand!
The Chinese fleet and the artillery regiment of the 8th Division flanked the front and rear, sandwiching the fleets of various countries in the middle, and the dense heavy artillery shells and naval artillery shells were used towards the Western warships and attacked with saturation!
Under such intensive firepower, Western warships have nowhere to hide, and there are shells everywhere!
The Belgian warships were the weakest among them, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately broke away from the battle sequence, trying to rush out of the Huangpu River and enter the vast East China Sea. The artillery fire was too dense, and such a fierce fire was simply not something that a rabble fleet could fight against!
Without the obstruction of the Western Fleet, the 8th Division successfully rushed into Shanghai!
