It's not a one-man battle, the assembly of two infantry regiments, of course, can't be so fast, the squadron still has losses, it was bombarded indiscriminately by British naval guns, and a hundred and ten people were killed and wounded.

The British were furious,

When a few British soldiers escaped from the barracks and rushed to the coastline, the British officers were in tears.

Admiral Nelson ordered that gunboats be sent to the rescue at once, and several gunboats went to the seashore to rescue the officers and men on board, and then, in gray, brought back to the fleet,

The rescued English boys were covered in black smoke from the fire, and they were as strange and embarrassed as bulls and horses, and there were more than 1,100 people, and only 21 people could survive.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he finally escaped back,

Of course, Nelson was not willing to admit defeat, he first ordered the naval guns to carry out a new round of bombardment on the shore, and then, sending more than 2,000 troops, landed again.

The dissuasion of the rest of the officers could not stop him from fighting**, because, without turning back from the bow, he had no room to retreat.

5,000 officers and men, in yesterday's battle, more than 200 were killed and wounded, and today's battle, more than 1,100, has accounted for one-sixth of the vanguard of the entire British army, such a large loss rate is unbearable for him, and he cannot explain to the British Parliament and the Queen.

In the two Opium Wars, the total losses of British troops in the war were not so much.

The blood-red rear admiral is a man with great self-esteem, because he comes from the ancient Nelson family, you know, that one-eyed admiral Nelson is a hero who defeated Napoleon's combined French and Spanish fleet, the glory of his ancestors, should he be lost in his own hands, of course not,

This expedition, he a rear admiral was able to serve as the commander of the vanguard force, it was still very accidental, the British fleet in China, one after another, was attacked and destroyed, is something that the British Parliament and the Prime Minister did not expect, several battleships, nearly 20 cruisers, were actually destroyed by the squadron like play, originally, Prime Minister Dis was still planning, just with 20 warships in China, to force the Chinese government to surrender,

In a situation of great crisis, the British Fleet on the east coast of India served as the vanguard, so the opportunity was not easy to come by.

The glory of the family, the hard-won opportunity, made General Nelson cherish this station very much, and he swore that until victory, he would not take the city of Canton, and he would never give up.

Twelve years ago, the city of Guangzhou in the former Qing Dynasty under the governance of Ye Mingchen was easily taken by the British and French forces, could it be that he couldn't this time?

It's not that he doesn't have talent, it's not that he doesn't think well, but that the strong historical contrast forces the great General Nelson, the future flower of the empire, to make a brave but reckless decision to continue fighting,

After the landing of more than 2,000 troops, the follow-up British troops set off as a reserve and landed again, and soon more than 700 people landed, so that all the 5,000 army soldiers escorted by the fleet landed, and even, in order to ensure the victory of the battle, General Nelson also sent more than 400 of the 2,000 naval officers and men to form a new Marine Corps and also landed for operation.

General Nelson made a desperate bet, and on the question of reproach he faced, he was impassioned: "The defeat of our army shows that there are a large number of squadrons here, and the strength policy is strong, if we can't eliminate them, how can we open the way for the arrival of the main force." ”

In order to lift his spirits, General Nelson also laughed and said very optimistically that the loss of 1,000 people by the British ** team will inevitably cause the loss of 1,000 or more people by the ** squadron, and it proves that there are indeed a large number of ** squadrons in this area. ”

The mobilization of the general inspired everyone's will to fight, and the British Royal Navy approached the coastline even further, almost to the limit, naturally, all those gunboats were driven to the coast, fighting anytime and anywhere,

More than 4,500 British ** team, is a huge combat group, think about it, in the later stage of the first Opium War, the British army of 8,000 people gathered under the city of Nanjing, set up artillery to attack the city, the Manchu government and the emperor Lao Tzu scared the pants, a country with a population of hundreds of millions actually succumbed, I next Olympics,

Eighty percent of the British ** team is British, the rest are Indian and other races, and most of the infantry are colonies, for example, Indians, Gurkhas, Ceylones, and the British are mainly officers.

The British army carried all the small war guns up, and even wanted to disassemble the cannons on the fleet and transport them, but it was too late.

In order to eliminate the gathered squadron and save the losing situation, General Nelson really bet all his bets,

Qiu Yuancai recruited the troops back, quickly inquired about the losses, and also asked about the results, although they were all rough estimates, he was also satisfied, to be able to eliminate more than a thousand Mao Zi soldiers in one battle, he had never thought about it, he originally planned to drive Mao Zi soldiers into the sea, and now, he thinks more and more that Luo Yang's strategy of luring the enemy deep and gathering on land and annihilating it is how clever it is, so he decisively sent a small number of soldiers to continue to reconnoiter the enemy and spy on the enemy,

The British army continued to land, massively preparing for a counterattack, which made him ecstatic, and he almost clenched his fists and shouted: "Brothers, our good days have come, this time, we must eat all the British hair, so that they no longer dare to underestimate us Chinese." ”

The small units of the squadron, very cleverly, launched a small attack on the British, shooting at them, or shelling them with sporadic mortars,

The attack of the small unit was carried out in a flexible and mobile guerrilla warfare, and its effect far exceeded Qiu Yuancai's expectations, because the small force of 100 men was divided into about 20 combat groups, and a unit of five or six men took advantage of the advantage of the rifle range being far above the British army to constantly attack and shoot the British officers and soldiers who were following them.

"The fourth, hahaha, ah, the fifth."

"What's the howl, what's the big deal, Lao Tzu also destroyed five British hairs."

The Chinese officers and soldiers not only did not have any nervousness, on the contrary, they were calm and triumphant, because the bullets of the British ** team, before they reached them, they dodged, this kind of battle without any danger and can hunt the enemy at will is really interesting,

Bang, another Chinese soldier put down a British soldier, but unexpectedly, he stabbed a hornet's nest,
