Chapter 468: Good Appetite
Throughout the battle, the rocket units behind the Fuhan army did not fire a single rocket. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When the collision between the two sides was decided, the Fu Han army did not chase and kill, but immediately retreated, and the Qing army quickly ordered the cavalry to launch a counterattack, and the artillery also began to aim its guns at the Fu Han army array.
After howling 'slow, too slow', Yongning fell into grief and lamentation, but Hailancha is a veteran oilman, what he pursues on the battlefield is victory, it is the result, but it is not 'fairness and justice', Mr. Morality, the battle of gentlemen or something, it is useless.
The Fu Han army did not use rockets, only musketeers, and the Qing army should be like this, and should also put its own advantages? That's not the kind of person in Hylancha. Before the ranks of the Eight Banners New Army completely collapsed, they had already sent their own soldiers to give orders to the artillery and cavalry on the battlefield.
For Yongning next to him, Hailancha regarded him as an ornament.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners New Army was small, and after the Battle of Northern Jiangsu, Fengsheng and Hailancha were either transferred out or convicted, and Qianlong used the clan to lead the troops in order to consolidate the imperial power. From the first one of the capitals to the four later capitals, all of them were from the Aixin Jueluo clan. At most, these people had been Taiping generals before, or had played a pretense and gilded when they were on the front line. None of them are real! But on weekdays, they are in control of the military power!
As for the time of operation, as soon as the first-level formation of the division of the Eight Banners New Army is dispatched, it must be led by a general-level figure, and the new army is directly the counselor of the army, and it is hung high. It is still the subordinate [brigade], regimental commander, and battalion officer who are really fighting with their lives.
......At this time, the herald sent the news that the offensive in the north had been blocked, and in fact the battalion in the north had been blown up by the garrison. First there were flowering bombs, then rockets, and when they got closer, there were mortar cannons and shotguns, and a battalion of the Eight Banners New Army directly hit the streets.
On the battlefield to the west, facing the Manchu cavalry rushing over on horseback, the rockets that the Fu Han army had previously triggered and failed to fire opened fire. The landing point covered 300 meters in front of the column line of the Fuhan Army, and regardless of whether the Qing army horse team rushed over or not, one rocket after another fell to the ground. Of course, it is impossible for a rocket with a landing error of 1,200 meters away to have a 'barrage' effect, so can the nearest rocket be 100 meters away from the landing point of the Fu Han Army? It can be said that the estimation of the landing point error of 100 to 200 meters at this maximum range is unreliable. The heat wave set off by the successive explosions roasted the faces of the soldiers of the Fu Han Army like flames, as well as the sand and soil that was scattered with the wind and the shock wave, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army with their eyes closed kept "babbling and ......".
I don't know how many soldiers have their heads hooked with their eyes closed, and they are still covered with sand.
It was the landing and explosion of two waves of twelve rockets, and the momentum of the Qing army's horse team came to an abrupt end.
The artillery of the remaining Qing army kept bombarding, but it only kept bombing.
The Fuhan Army troops who retreated from the battlefield safely gasped for breath, and many people's faces were washed out of small ditches with sweat, and when they rubbed their hands, the black dust and sweat were mixed together, all of them were like big cats. Especially the soldiers of the Rocket Forces!
"Your Highness. You put your heart in your stomach. Yang Liuqing Town, I will definitely be able to defend it. ”
Gao Jinghui slapped Bang Bang Bang on his chest, the battle on the battlefield in the north gave him a lot of confidence, but it was not as hard as the one here in the west. The battle fought on the battlefield in the north is his love.
If you can't shrink your head, you should fight like this when you fight, and if you have few soldiers, you should be a turtle. The 14th Brigade in the west played frontal field battles with the Qing army, and although it killed a lot of new army flag soldiers, it also lost fifty or sixty people. Among them, half of them died on the spot! I feel sorry for Gao Jinghui to death!
"It's that simple." Chen Ming shook his head in his heart. Now it was only daytime, and at night, the Qing army pushed the artillery group closer and bombarded Yangliuqing Town with arson bombs, and the effect was definitely greater than the previous scene.
However, Chen Ming's ability to leave twelve cannons for Yang Liuqing Town was already very powerful. No matter how much more, the large army will not have to fight the fork.
Of course, Gao Jinghui also knew that the night was the biggest test for them, but he also understood the situation of the troops, and they all fought to the edge of Tianjin, and it would be a pity not to fight back to Tianjin. So no matter how much pressure there is in front of him, he has to stand up!
They didn't have time to dig the trenches, but the breastwork was strong. Yangliuqing is a famous prosperous place in Tianjin, even if it is now in decline and people go to empty buildings, but the buildings will not grow a pair of feet with the departure of the main family.
Gao Jinghui and his troops demolished a lot of places, and the three consecutive breastworks were all built with bricks and stones. And the more tired it gets, the higher it gets.
The semi-enclosed anti-artillery bunkers and forts were made of waist-thick wooden pillars and stones at the bottom of the building. As far as the current firepower of the Qing army is concerned, as long as it is not hit by 20-pound shells, the firepower of those 12-pound guns and 10-pound shells is not a big threat.
"Your Highness also thinks too highly of the Tartars. In this frontal field battle, I am only a regiment, and now it is indeed not the opponent of the Tartars, but in defensive operations, I am not afraid of them. Gao Jinghui shouted that 'defensive warfare' was the skill of the Fu Han army, and he would never drop the chain, and then sent Chen Ming back to Caozhuang respectfully like a hot potato.
That night, the Qing army launched five waves of attacks on Yang Liuqing, dozens of cannons were scattered and arranged in multiple artillery positions, and the light of the fires ignited by arson shells lit up the sky. From the very beginning, the artillery of the Fu Han army ignored the artillery group on the opposite side, and greeted the Qing soldiers who rushed over with flowering shells and shotguns. Moreover, Gao Jinghui also found that the troops of the Qing army's night attack were not all the Eight Banners New Army as he thought, and even the number of the Eight Banners New Army only accounted for a small part of them.
……
The sky was gradually dawning, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray. The eastern horizon was already slightly exposed, and a hint of red seemed to be soaked in blood.
A milky white mist permeated the entire field, shrouding the fertile fields and also shrouding the willows. A mess of willow green!
The cold wind can blow away the smell of blood and gunsmoke, but it can't take away the desolation of Yang Liuqing after the war.
Gao Jinghui walked down a street, flanked by buildings that were once two or three stories tall or even higher, but now most of them were dilapidated or reduced to a pile of ruins. The scene after the fire was clearly visible, the smell of burning, and the white light smoke rising from the black ruins.
If it were a local who had lived in Yang Liuqing for decades, his breath would have stopped at this moment. The rows of high-rise buildings collapsed and destroyed one after another, and piles of huge rubble formed a series of ruins, without the slightest bit of original brilliance and magnificence, only infinite sorrow grew madly in the heart, and the willows were finished! Five words with a capital letter will be printed on everyone's heart.
The silence after the war was empty. Gao Jinghui has a deep understanding. The Qing army pounced five times in one night, and Yang Liuqing's gunfire only stopped on the eve of dawn, and the spirit that was holding back suddenly relaxed, Gao Jinghui's brain was blank, how could his heart not be empty?
It's like having completed a difficult task with great joy and joy, but the first thing that comes to mind must be emptiness. Because the most direct goal of life is gone!
"Report back to Cao Zhuang, Yang Liuqing is solid!"
No matter how heavy the price of 200 casualties in one night was, just looking at the corpses of the Qing soldiers who were killed outside the ruins, Gao Jinghui could clearly see the figures of the flag soldiers sandwiched between the corpses of the green battalion soldiers through the thin morning mist.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty may have killed 3,000 people in five attacks. Even if the New Army of the Eight Banners accounted for only a quarter or a fifth of them, its losses would be worth more than one battalion.
More important is the morale of the Qing army, if Chen Ming is still in Yang Liuqing, he can definitely find that there was still a touch of pale red morale of the Eight Banners New Army yesterday, and now it has completely turned to thick white.
It was also on this night that Jinghai, Qingxian and other places sent urgent reports one after another, and the Qing army horses that went south cut off contact with all the county towns and important places. The current Fu Han army is not to mention transporting military supplies, even if it wants to go to the ground to maintain contact with each other, it will be difficult.
Chen Ming was not surprised at all, it was normal. That's why he brought so many arms and rockets on his way north.
The role of a series of 'beads' from Shandong to Tianjin has long since been transformed from the military station conceived in the early days into a retreat and response point for the troops. When Yinglian and Shu Hede joined forces to fight the battle of Cangzhou, Chen Ming saw this clearly, and his previous delusions completely disappeared. If you don't have enough troops and want to play tricks, how can there be such a good thing!
Chen Ming put all these aside, "Since Yang Liuqing has withstood the attack of the Qing army, then let's fight this Sancha estuary." "The mouth of the Sancha River is on the north side of the city of Tianjin.
It is not that he can only fight Tianjin City by fighting the mouth of the Sancha River, Chen Ming is now in Caozhuang, and he can directly attack the west side of Tianjin City along the south bank of the South Canal. But at that time, he could only attack the western side.
Tianjin is an abacus city, the city is long from east to west, short from north to south, shaped like an abacus, and the locals call it that. It has a narrow bearing surface on its west side. To the north is the mouth of the Sancha River, and to the south is a faction of 'pristine ecology', with staggered river depressions, and the army is unable to launch an offensive at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to hit the Sancha estuary first, at least to be extended by the northern line of Tianjin.
After many days, more than 10,000 troops finally marched towards Tianjin after winning the great victory against the Qing army in the direction of Tianjin. "Contact the Sailor troops and ask them to attack Dagukou and Beitang for me."
Chen Ming stopped outside Tianjin for several days, and the naval troops at sea did not stand still, they really landed the marines and the army in Leting County, Yongping Prefecture, and the troops had entered the Dabo area of Zunhua Prefecture from north to south.
This team, which numbered only 4,700 men, faced a siege by three Qing armies. The town of Lutai in front of them was located at the junction of Tianjin and Zunhua, and was not only garrisoned by a green battalion, but also by a new army of the Eight Banners. The Qing army and people in Zunhua were forming a group to press towards Dabo, and there were Qing army infantry cavalry from Shanghaiguan, Linyu, and Ninghai behind them. But there are fewer than the numbers. Because the main forces in the Tianjin area have all gathered on the battlefield of Tianjin.
These three Qing troops are not the opponents of this Fu Han army, and they are unlikely to be their opponents together, and the morale of the Qing army and the people is extremely low, and the combat effectiveness is underground. The contingent in front of us, even if it is composed of two marine battalions, a regiment of the 1st Garrison Division remaining in Shandong, and a regiment of the Shandong garrison, is very complicated, but its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Just one regiment of the 1st Garrison Division was very fierce and carried some rockets.
The situation that this force is facing now is not difficult, but it is not easy to break through. They had to capture the town of Lutai and pass through Hangu, which is the Changlu Hangu Salt Farm, before they could reach Beitang. Before they retreated to the sea or really joined Chen Ming, their military supplies were also used a little less.
"Take the Sancha estuary at the fastest speed, at any cost. Then let's go straight to Tianjin. ”
"The defense of Dagukou is very strong, and there is Dagukou in the north to respond, and it is not a good stubble. But they and Tianjin are completely different things. ”
In recent years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has focused on Dagukou. Beitang, and even the military grain city, but the city defense of Tianjin itself is still the same. In particular, the west and north sides of Tianjin are not only old city walls, but also have no decent fort forts.
If the Fu Han army made a fierce attack, first gave the Qing army in Tianjin a stick at the mouth of the Sancha River, and then swooped down on Tianjin City, would it directly scare the Qing army in Tianjin? Can they retreat to the Military Commissariat City? The few Qing warships that were huddled in the Haihe River were also able to maneuver on the waterways. And the most important thing is that Hailancha really can't gnaw Yang Liuqing, and he doesn't need to knock Yang Liuqing to death. It is completely possible to cross the Grand Canal, and it can still deeply threaten Chen Ming from behind.
Chen Ming's greatest hope now is to overthrow Tianjin, which can severely dampen the little remaining morale of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then fight with the Manchu Eight Banners New Army. After completing these two goals, in the case that Dagukou could not be captured, he led his troops back to Cangzhou, and he was also willing to do it.
He has a great appetite, but he hasn't broken through the sky, judging by the little force in his hands!
Now the real threat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not Chen Ming's place, but the large number of troops gathered in Nanjing, where more than 100,000 local garrison troops are about to be assembled, from southern Jiangsu, from Zhejiang, from northern Fujian, from Liangguang, from Jiangxi and other places, one by one by one by water, or by sea, all of them are converging to Nanjing at the fastest speed. Of course, the troops in northern Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong still have enough troops left behind, otherwise it would be very unpleasant to be stabbed in the stomach by the guys in central and southern Fujian when everyone is happy.
In addition to this army in Nanjing, there are also troops in the Central Plains, that is, the Anhui side headed by the second division, the morale of the Qing army in Anhui is now extremely low, since the news of Qianlong's death was exposed, and then Qianlong did not show up, how long has it been, the second division has been killed under the city of Luzhou. The Third Division also pressed over from the east, as well as the twisters of Yingzhou, and the troops that fought Fengyang.
Now Guilin just wants to make trouble on a large scale on the Yellow River embankment in Anhui, and it can't do it. The actual control area of the Qing army in Anhui has overwhelmed Fengyang, Lujiang and Shouzhou, and these three cities are a triangle with sharp corners. Doom is just around the corner!
It was planned to completely wipe out the second division of the Qing army in Anhui before the year, and there was still a period of time to repair it after the year, and then contract with the team in Henan and push back to the north in a big way. Take advantage of the retreat of the Qing army! As much as possible, open up as much appetite as possible!
……
Sancha Estuary.
The front of the Fu Han army became thinner and thinner as the ranks of the attacking troops unfolded. A battalion turned out to be only two columns! God, on the battlefield in China, it is really unheard of to be such a Qing army.
It was only an offensive force of three battalions, two or three hundred men on a horizontal plane, and the private line was directly opened a mile long. This undoubtedly slowed down the march of the private line a lot, and with the current level of training of the Han army, the whole army had to stop and reorganize after a short distance.
The Qing army guarding the mouth of the Sancha River bombarded fiercely with artillery. The Fu Han army continued to suffer losses, but no one fled, no one retreated, and even the array did not waver.
They sang war songs, walked straight steps, passed through the artillery barrage of the Qing army, and directly overwhelmed the front of the Qing army. Behind them were rocket troops, the overall movement of which was in a large square, and the sides of the squares were also very thin, with only a few columns. And the banner that was released was two-thirds of the front Fu Han army.
Just the escort unit of this rocket unit is enough for two battalions.
The artillery fire of the Qing army bombarded the Fu Han army at a frantic speed. Because everyone knows what kind of blow the Qing army will suffer when the box of the Fu Han army approaches the Sanli River estuary. So the rich monk happily sent out a team of horses in his hand.
