Chapter 200 Wuzhou, Guangzhou

(Plus!) Thanks for not saying but not saying is not not not saying)

"Boom, boom. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info.! ”

Both sides opened fire, and the blazing and angry shells smashed into the water, setting off large water curtains, splashing onto the boat, hitting the deck, hitting people, and wetting a large area.

The cold wind blows, and it is cold, but fortunately here is the south, Guangxi, China, and the temperature in early February seems to be warmer.

Everyone was highly concentrated, reloading their shells, aiming and shooting, and staring at the opponent's warship, all wanting to kill the opponent with one shot, smash the opponent's warship to pieces, and send the opponent into the water to feed the fish.

"What's the matter, the warships of the New People's Army are not attacking with all their might."

"They only rushed out of two big ships and four foreign gunboats, do they want to defeat us with these six warships, it's ridiculous, come on, bomb them with all your might, what kind of nerves happened to Liang Peiyou, a fool."

The commanders of the ships of the Hunan and Han naval forces had all experienced the Battle of Wuzhou back then, and many of them were actually Guangdong sailors, so they were also familiar with Liang Peiyou, a defeated general, and they couldn't help but laugh and express their disdain.

But soon they were wrong, these six warships were too fast, it was not easy to aim on the ship, it was all about covering the fire, and suddenly the six warships came out with more black smoke and ran faster, and the shells fell behind the ships one after another, and they were all empty.

On the contrary, the shells of the New People's Army always had a little gain, and the formation of 140 warships arranged three echelons on the Xunjiang River, and the density was also very large.

From time to time, sampan boats were smashed, overturned and capsized, and from time to time, pickpockets were hit and poured into the water, and the people on it fell into the water even if they were unstable.

"I'm fighting, I don't believe I can't hit."

"What! After hitting again, I went on. ”

"No, this won't work, adjust, hit them in front, aim ahead." The Hunan and Han sailors also learned to be obedient, fought in advance, calculated the speed, and where they might go, so they took the distance in advance, but their shells were still not powerful, and they were still a little behind.

Because they did not calculate the speed of the river, the New People's Army was downstream, and the speed was faster than them.

By the time they understood that they had come, it was too late, there was only one chance, and the six warships that were unscathed had already been inserted into the formation of the Hunan and Han naval forces, and in short, they had reached close combat.

Xi Ding, the captain of the 'Wenmao' warship, immediately ordered: "Shoot the platoon cannons, give me a blast!" Speed up and keep rushing forward without stopping. ”

Heavy artillery was placed at the front of the main warship, which hit far away and posed a great threat, but small short guns were also placed on both sides in order to penetrate into the enemy line and bombard the enemy ships on both sides.

Melee handover, not depends on the size of the caliber and the power of the shell, but on the rate of fire and the impact of the fan.

This guy hit out and injured a large area, whether it was a person or a boat, it was basically not lightly injured. The person in the center was beaten into a sieve, and the hull was riddled with holes.

The sampan boat wanted to get closer, and the jumping gang climbed and was directly knocked away, although this is not an ironclad ship, but in order to increase the impact force, it is still extravagant to install an anti-collision iron plate in front.

In addition, the battleship of the New People's Army is driven by vortex furnace steam and the relative speed is much faster, and it is directly to crush the past, just because of this speed, the attack of the Hunan and Han naval forces is always a little weak, they don't care about it, because when you attack the New People's Army warship, you accidentally cross over, hit your own warship on the opposite side, and hurt the friendly ship.

The New People's Army paid one gunboat to be wounded and surrounded by a group of people to be constantly attacked, and the other five ships passed directly through the enemy position, which messed up the formation of the Hunan and Han Forces, and the formation was completely chaotic, and it was unable to attack as planned, and at the same time, it also suffered countless casualties and destroyed one-fifth of the warship strength at one time.

"Good! That's a great way to do it! Come on, all hang the green flag, charge, attack and besiege! ”

The enemy formation was in chaos, Liang Peiyou seized the opportunity and rushed over with all the warships, they were upper, they had an advantage in speed, and they added accumulated strength, and the other party had just been in chaos for a while, and the strength consumption was extremely great, and there was no strength to adjust the hull and bow at all.

At this time, the five gunboats that were in the lower stream all turned around and counterattacked and killed back by maneuvering speed, so that although the New People's Army had fewer ships, it opposed the two-sided attack on the Hunan and Han naval forces.

In an instant, the original superior number of Hunan and Han naval forces were killed one after another, more and more soldiers fell into the water, and the big ships were also hit hard one after another, and finally one-fifth of them were killed, so they could only hang up the white flag and surrender, and those who did not want to surrender took the opportunity to slip away, and fled back to Wuzhou City downstream.

The New People's Army has few ships, so naturally the Lord is not chasing the escaping ships, but first fully accepts the prisoners and warships, and rescues the soldiers of the Hunan and Han Naval Forces who fell into the water.

There is no other way for the navy to grow as soon as possible, but to absorb prisoners, because the water skills can not be trained overnight, and the reason why the navy of Dacheng developed so fast was that it relied on the water courage at the beginning, which could occupy the Yujiang Xunjiang River and develop the base area.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the great victory on the river, Liang Peiyou went directly east to first capture Rongxu Town (Cangwu County) on the other side of Wuzhou, and then seized the triangle at the confluence of the Xunjiang River and the Guijiang River outside Wuzhou City as it did back then, and condescendingly shelled Wuzhou City.

The ships of the naval division directly blocked the Xun River and the Gui River.

At the same time, vigorously transfer troops from Xunzhou to the east, seize the land, bombard the city from all sides, the southeast and northwest, the Hunan and Han armies guarding here are not the old Hunan army, they are all militia groups in Guangzhou and the original green battalion and the training army of Mu Yong, the sense of resistance is not strong, anyway, they were originally from the Qing Dynasty to the Hunan Han, and now it is nothing more than from the Hunan Han to the new people's army rule, and the acceptance is much stronger, so most of them surrendered.

In the end, Mao Hongbin was unable to save the crisis, and he couldn't escape from Hezhou, so he committed suicide, and Wuzhou was broken. As soon as Wuzhou was broken, Xi Baotian, Jiang Yifeng and others were completely cut off from Guangzhou.

At the same time, at this point in time, Liu Yongfu, who had set out from Zhaoqing, hit the city of Guangzhou, and the soldiers were very fast, and he went ashore from the Xijiang River into the Dongping Waterway for more than ten miles, directly crossed the important town of Foshan, took the nearest road and turned to the northwest of Guangzhou, and launched an attack from the northwest.

At that time, Yang Dongfang made a big fuss in Guangzhou City, moved troops to the north of Guangzhou, threatened Guangzhou to force Mao Hongbin to return to help, and naturally set up a coordinate point in the north, so as soon as Liu Yongfu arrived here, Yang Dongfang directly transferred the artillery of the Second Brigade of the New Artillery from Chengdu and directly used it by Liu Yongfu.

Liu Yongfu played an artillery battalion in Vietnam and trained his subordinates, so the basic operation was no problem.

The momentum outside the city is violent, Guo Songtao is in chaos, he didn't expect Liu Yongfu to come so quickly, Foshan is not fighting, now his sailors have just returned to Yang Zijiang, the British in Hong Kong are still hesitating, the French gunboats are coming, the problem is that they are not used now, and now there are only a few thousand useful soldiers defending the city, and there is no hope of holding it at all.

What he didn't expect was that a battalion of the New People's Army had gathered in the city as early as a month ago to come to Guangzhou City, and they had been lurking, and the leader was Feng Yuniang, the director of MI3.

"As soon as the weapons arrive, we will distribute them to everyone, and remember that there is no attack outside the city, and you must not act rashly."

"Yes!"

Soon Yang Dongfang's offensive order was issued, and Yang Dongfang transferred Huang Yongle's 500 rifles from Jinnan to temporarily support Feng Yuniang's internal and external attacks.

"Boom, boom, boom.!"

Liu Yongfu outside the city was impatient to start shelling and besieging the city, Guo Songtao mobilized a large army to go to the north city, and took the high-ranking officials of Guangzhou City to the wall to boost morale.

Liu Yongfu has been shelling, thunder and rain, very lively, but has not sent troops to attack, Guo Songtao gradually felt a little strange, everyone also found that something was wrong, suddenly rushed out from the back of a group of musket troops wearing Hunan army uniforms, which made everyone even more surprised.

Except for Guo Songtao, dozens of guards in the city are from the hardcore Hunan army, and there are no Hunan troops in the city.

"Whose subordinates are you? How come I haven't seen you. ”

Relying on the musket in his hand and his special identity, this Hunan army knocked away the other soldiers who were blocking in front, and also kicked up the city and came to Guo Songtao.

Feng Yuniang was dressed in a strong suit, full of heroism, and walked over with steady steps: "Lord Governor, of course you haven't seen us, because we are Yang Dashuai's people." ”

Guo Songtao wondered even more, why is she still a female general: "Yang Dashuai, Yang Changjun or Yang Yuebin." ”

"No, it's Yang Xinghua!"

"What, you're new..." Guo Songtao was horrified, and the guards around him were all knocked to the ground in an instant, and black guns were pressed against his body or head.

"Congratulations, Lord Guo, you guessed right, but you're now a captive. For the sake of the stability of the people of Guangzhou and the people of the world, please give an order to let the army in the city disarm and surrender. (To be continued.) )
