Chapter 401: The Battle of Dagu

The turbulent years of the U.S. Navy fleet were three months and nine days, from the time it reached the coast of China, and then it was completely annihilated.

The cause of the fierce battle was that the First Fleet of the U.S. Navy attacked the Dagu Battery.

Dagu, has always been the maritime gateway of Tianjin, the first Opium War, the British fleet entered the mouth of the Baihe River, the Qing court succumbed, is for the first stage, Lin Zexu was dismissed, Zhili Governor Qi Shan became the new minister of the Qincha, the southward dominant, the second Opium War, there were many battles here, and in the end, the fort was lost, one of the reasons was that the Russian minister leaked China's national defense secrets, so that the enemy avoided the location of the heavy artillery,

No matter what, Dagu's gains and losses, safety and danger, are the barometer of China's national stability.

Dagu Fort is still the face of the Chinese government, and the US Navy attacked it, which is a naked slap in the face of Luo Yang.

The battleship Changdao was in front, using the huge power of the main guns to bombard the Dagu Battery, and the large-caliber naval guns of about 200 mm roared from the mountains to the tsunami, destroying all the Chinese defensive settings of the Dagu Battery.

The artillery defending in this area is holding on to several forts, using imported foreign cannons, the caliber is naturally smaller, and the foreign cannons that can be captured by the Qing army and captured by the Huaxia army are estimated to be not the most sophisticated at that time.

The Chinese army was defeated,

An artillery battalion, which had both the former Chinese officers and soldiers and the Qing officers, was originally not much, but after the enemy's large-scale bombardment, the established policy was carried out and immediately retreated.

The battleship New York also joined the battle, because of the long-term drifting life, the American army was very brave, and soon, in the cold wind at the beginning of the wax moon, there was a strong smell of gunsmoke,

The U.S. military's ability to resolutely carry out the mission is still good, and seeing the Dagu Fort fall into a sea of fire, the officers and men of the U.S. military were taken aback: "Huaxia Tian** is nothing more than that." ”

After the U.S. military bombarded the Dagu Fort, they did not land directly, but observed the situation and stationed it outside the port.

The news reached Luo Yang's ears, and he was angry, since the US military has been ruthless, why should Lao Tzu tolerate and accommodate you,

For the sake of the majesty of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom and the morale of the army, it is impossible not to engage in battle,

The fort was destroyed, more than 30 cannons were damaged, 100 soldiers were killed, and more than 80 were wounded, which is equivalent to more than one-third of the strength of this artillery battalion.

On the same day, Luo Yang gathered the special operations forces and prepared for action.

The next morning, the First Fleet of the U.S. Navy bombarded the Dagu battery again, and then, sent marines to land.

Login, you stupid,

The layout of Huaxiatian's important port defense is to lure the enemy deep and turn the sea into land warfare, so in the dense ravines and fortifications, an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment, an independent cavalry battalion are hidden, and the follow-up is only five or six miles, and there is a mixed brigade, which is to lure the enemy to land and fight back.

U.S. Navy Captain Edward observed the vast field with a telescope and led his officers and men to the flood of gunsmoke

The cold soil, the powerful shells, can not resist the cold season, the scattered ruins of Chinese batteries, the corpses of dead and wounded soldiers, inspire the courage of American officers and soldiers,

"Ahem." Stabbing these corpses with spears makes the American Marines look very heroic, with hideous eyebrows, faces, and a desire to fight, these professional killing machines are already impatient,

General Aharun was the former enemy commander of the defense army in Tianjin, and after the battery was attacked, he honestly stayed in the counterattack position and hidden.

The Chinese officers and men were also a little nervous, after all, the enemy's naval guns were too arrogant,

The rifle of the new type, equipped in the hands of one hundred and fifty men in an infantry company, a reinforced version, capable of shooting more than 400 meters, should have been a first-class weapon in fact at that time.

The criss-crossing ravines, in the eyes of Colonel Edward, were indeed not dangerous, because there was no trace of the Chinese at all,

A mighty naval fleet, anchored outside the harbor, ready to reinforce at any time,

The U.S. ** team of more than 800 people, divided into several teams, tentatively moving forward, wanting to advance to the direction of Tianjin, to further threaten the Chinese government, or, casually rob some things, in fact, kill a few civilians, rob a few women to play, maybe more interesting,

In fact, Colonel Edward used these things to motivate the fighting spirit of officers and soldiers, and now the US Marine Corps is screaming like chickens.

Bang bang, a burst of gunfire, the ranks of American officers and soldiers were suddenly disrupted, and the burly bodies of more than 20 American soldiers suddenly burst out with clusters of blood, and then, with a wail, fell to the ground,

Boom, boom, the throwing of a few grenades made more than 30 American officers and soldiers jump high like rabbits, and then they fell down and began to sing, naturally it could not be the original version, messy, emotional, that was the cry of the wounded,

Dozens of squadrons came out, and after a burst of attacks, they turned around and ran, although they were relatively not tall, but they were agile and ran like thieves, and they got into the ravines, so that the American guns couldn't hit.

What's hateful is that these guys keep coming out of the ravine to look around, and they also grimace at the U.S. ** team, making evil gestures of greeting people's families.

The American officers and soldiers were enraged,

Colonel Edward, after a brief and brief observation, judged that it was an enemy attack, and that it was a small attack, so he was determined to take revenge.

Since yesterday's easy victory in the artillery battle, he has gained self-confidence, and the squadron has fought and run, proving that their strength is insufficient and they dare not fight.

Colonel Edward, I believe in one thing the most, that is, Huaxia Tian ** transferred the most elite artillery to the American battlefield, so the troops in the country are all old, weak, sick and disabled, otherwise, how to explain that several batteries were bombed without a little temper,

General Ahran observed the movements of the US ** team with a telescope, and sent a small force to carry out a sneak attack three times in a row.

In this way, the U.S. ** team finally became angry, more than 800 officers and soldiers stepped forward tightly, biting the buttocks of those attackers and charging, these guys are tall and big, on land, in the ravines, and their skills are also quite good.

"Quick, come forward, catch those bastards who sneak attack."

"Yes, after catching it, give them a good look."

U.S. officers and soldiers are already imagining how to mistreat enemy prisoners of war.

At this time, the Americans did not expect that in the gully area of their two wings, there were already Huaxia Tian**'s infantry, secretly moving to a suitable position, one infantry battalion each, more than 1,200 people, cutting off the flanks and backs of the more than 800 US ** teams.

"Come out, come out, get out quickly."

"Hooligans, shameless assailants, come out." The American GIs chased after those decoy enemies and charged,

General Ahran decisively ordered the new riflemen: "Brother, it's up to you. ”

One hundred and fifty infantrymen, suddenly emerging from the ravine, aimed their rifles at the advancing enemy, the enemy in thick coats, and without steel helmets, which at that time were not standard equipment,

In the dense rain of bullets, the American troops fell one by one,
