Chapter 672: Dagu Kou I
"Brother Mu, it must be that these Japanese soldiers don't know that Dagu is empty now, and they are all recruits; They wanted to learn from the way the foreign soldiers attacked Jinmen thirty years ago, first occupied Beitang, and then went around to the back of Dagu. ”
Mu Changcai's henchman Xie Cheng said with a bitter face: "But our two battalions of Shui Yong, the north and south battalions, have only been recruited for two months, not to mention the artillery, no bullets, no rifles, and no guns have been fired twice, how can this be good?" ”
After talking like this for a while, Mu Changcai felt that the Japanese ships in the southeast seemed to be moving closer, as if they might launch an artillery bombardment at any time and smash the deadly shells over.
Sweating profusely, from Mu Changcai's face with weak legs, the steaming heat rolled down, and he regretted in his heart why he died two months ago Daotai training, he was confused for a while, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
"His stuffed grandson! Liu Weiye's white flag has been raised, does he want to die? ”
Mu Changcai's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the Nanying Artillery Battalion on the south bank of the Ji Canal opposite in shock, and exclaimed:
"This thing is so crazy, didn't you kill a few generals a while ago? Not to mention our sesame big battalion! Even if you run away——, well, that's absolutely not possible! ”
At this time, a small boat rowed over from the other side of the estuary, and Mu Changcai saw that it was Liu Weiye, who was 'crazy', sitting on it.
"Mr. Mu Qian, don't let go of the cannon wave to ruin the peace talks, hurry up and raise the white flag, hurry up and raise the white flag!"
Liu Weiye hurried all the way from the other side, got off the boat and ran to the high ground of Beiying Fort, his fat body was tired, his neck was flushed, he was sweating profusely, and he yelled at the top of his throat:
"Don't provoke the Japanese soldiers!"
Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai, who were originally two sentinels of the Jinmen City Defense Battalion, were originally the two sentinels of the Jinmen City Defense Battalion, because they were Li Minchen's township party, and they were promoted two months ago when they practiced water courage in Jinmen Dao.
Because Li Minchen also believed in the 'way of the emperor' of the Qing Dynasty officialdom, the arrangement of Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai did not clearly stipulate the subordination between the two, so there has been a lot of sloppiness between the 'artillery camps' in the north and south of Beitang.
This time, if it weren't for the fear that Mu Changcai would 'provoke the ball' and shoot at the warships of the Japanese people, even his own southern artillery battalion would have been unlucky, Liu Weiye would not have cared about Mu Changcai's life or death, and he was tired and half-dead to come over to suffer this living crime.
"Daotai went to Jingshi, and when he left, he said that he would ask Wu Hongluo of Dagu Fort if he had something——"
Mu Changcai was anxious when he heard this, interrupted Liu Weiye's words and complained: "Brother Liu, this place is thirty miles away from Dagu, and this time and again, the warships of the Japanese have already blown up our forts!" ”
"That's why I asked my subordinates to put up the white flag first;"
Liu Weiye gasped and shouted: "We are not surrendering, we are paralyzing the Japanese and delaying time." Besides, the imperial court strictly ordered to shoot and provoke, without the order of the imperial court, who would dare to use guns and artillery-"
"Boom!"
At this time, a terrifying loud noise suddenly came from the east, which shocked everyone and shocked everyone.
"Whoa—"
A continuous scream, accompanied by rolling thunder in the air, reached everyone's eardrums.
"Boom!"
The whole earth shook violently, and a huge mushroom cloud burst up on the hillside in front of the Beiying Fort, shaking the earth.
“——”
In the horrified eyes of everyone, a piece of shrapnel flew up the high ground of the Beiying Fort, turning the brain shell of an unlucky ghost standing on the edge into a cloud of red, red and white blood mist.
Under the blood mist, the stunned headless corpse still stood.
It's just that the blood in the neck is like a fountain, 'Zizi' gushing out from the broken neck.
"Ahh
In addition to participating in the funeral on weekdays, where have the soldiers of the fort seen a corpse again, let alone such a tragic death?
A group of soldiers shouted in horror and ran away with pale faces.
"Boom!"
Another corrective bomb bombarded from the Japanese ship group.
"Escape—"
Because Liu Weiye ran to the Beiying Fort at this time, the Nanying Fort without the supervision of the Shangguan immediately broke the camp, and in the eyes of the sergeant of the Beiying Fort, he fled from the fort position in a hurry and ran towards the upper reaches of the Ji Canal.
"Boom!"
The shell of the Japanese ship fell into the water surface of the mouth of the Ji Canal, shattering the accumulated ice layer at the mouth of the Ji Canal with one shot, and blowing up a huge column of snow-white ice chips tens of meters high.
The ice on the surface of the river, which had begun to thaw slightly, burst one after another.
In the dumbfounded watchful eyes of Mu Changcai and Liu Weiye, the soldiers of the Beiying Fort had already taken the opportunity to sneak away with a frightened face.
Immediately, the Beiying Fort also dispersed in a hurry.
Combined fleet of Japanese ships, flagship of the Matsushima.
After the ship group had sailed to the effective bombardment range, the combined fleet slowed down and prepared to bombard the artillery positions of the Great Qing Dynasty.
In the intelligence of the Combined Fleet, although this Beitang Fort is far from being as good as the Dagu Fort, it is also the third fort in the Daqing coastal defense fort after Dagu and Humen.
Obviously, it is not to be taken lightly.
The fleet attacked the Beitang Fort not to occupy or destroy it, but to give the Qing army a false impression and cover the landing of the 11th Brigade at the mouth of the Tang River.
However, just when the gunners of each ship were still calculating the appropriate gun elevation angle setting, Ito Hengyou was surprised to see more than a dozen white flags erected in the south battery of the Qing army.
Because of the living lesson of the Qing ship "Jiyuan" in the Battle of Toshima before, Ito Henyoke ignored these "cunning tricks" of the Qing army, but ordered the artillery to be fired.
Then, the first artillery bombed on the hillside of the artillery position of the northern camp of the Qing army in the Ji Canal, and as a result, the Qing troops in the artillery position of the southern battalion were all scattered in a hurry.
Just when the naval captains on all the warships were confused and couldn't figure out which play the Qing army was playing, a second corrective shell exploded from the muzzle of the 320mm Ghana main gun in the stern of the Matsushima.
Then, the shells hit the river at the mouth of the Ji Canal, and the soldiers of the Qing army's Beiying Fort also fled in a hurry.
All the soldiers, officers of the combined fleet were stunned!
"Commander——, this, are you still blowing it up?"
Looking at the two empty estuary batteries, as well as the huge cannon with its muzzle pointing at the sky, the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, Izuba Shigeyuan, felt that the Qing army on the shore was too 'strange', and his own brain seemed to be insufficient at all.
"Could it be a trick of the Qing army?"
The captain of the Matsushima Captain Omoto knew about Osa, and it took a long time to chirp and say: "Do you want to wait for the empire to send infantry ashore to seize the fort, and then kill it back suddenly?" ”
Ito Hyunsuke, Izuwa Shigeyuan's face of disappointment, this is simply equivalent to not saying!
"Since you have come, you have to leave some traces of it; Order the 2nd Guerrilla Brigade to bombard and destroy the battery, the main force of the 1st Guerrilla Detachment, ,——"
Ito Hengyou looked at the Dagu Fort more than 30 miles to the south, and ordered: "Go and meet the first coastal defense in the world of the Qing Dynasty for a while!" ”
"Boom, boom—"
"Woo-"
Amid the sound of cannons and whistles, the Matsushima, Hashidate, Itsukushima, Chiyoda, Fuso, Hiei, Yoshino, Akitsuzu, Takachiho, and Naniwa of the combined fleet of the Japanese combined fleet turned south.
Anti-Japanese Army Dagu Station, Beishan Fort.
"The Japanese ship group has moved south!"
Xiong Kaiyu put down the telescope in his hand with a blue face, this man with a feminine tone, roared and gave an order very rarely:
"Order all companies to immediately move into the predetermined positions, and all family members, wounded and other non-combatants in the station are evacuated to the west!"
