Chapter 254 The fourth day of the new year continues to beat the British and French little pot friends to greet everyone for the New Year!

"What? Lonely defeated? How is this possible? ”

Klaus's mouth opened in surprise, completely incredulous.

"Sir, we saw through binoculars at the observation post on the heights a large number of French soldiers being captured by the Nanyang Army, locked up in a large barracks, with as many as one or two thousand prisoners."

After reconfirming that the information was correct, Klaus realized that it was true.

"Bastard! You're a stupid pig! Even with 50,000 pigs, it would take a few days for the Nanyang Army to catch them, but you were wiped out in less than half a day. ”

By the time he said the end, Klaus was already crying.

True, he really wept, not for the defeat of Guba and the 50,000 French army, but for himself, because he knew that the last shred of hope of escape was dashed.

Either self-determination awaits him or surrenders.

As the nobles of the British Empire, the 200,000 British and French troops and the combined fleet are the commanders-in-chief, if they surrender to the Nanyang Army, it will be really humiliating to Mars, but if they do not surrender, it is a dead end.

Self-cutting? Klaus touched the saber at his waist, and drew a piece of cold light that suddenly emitted a cold light, and he trembled, he was afraid of death, and fell to his knees in despair.

"The enemy is attacking!"

At this moment, the sentry shouted, pointed forward, and tens of thousands of Nanyang troops attacked again, black and oppressive, boundless.

This mental pressure alone was enough to break down the spirit of the tens of thousands of remaining British and French troops.

"Sir, what are we going to do?"

British and French officers, including Raymond, surrounded Klaus and waited for his decision. In the past, they would not have asked such questions, and who would have imagined that the most powerful Anglo-French army in the world would be defeated.

Klaus looked at everyone, and his heart was entangled, this order was not easy to order. If the war continues, the whole army will be annihilated, and if you surrender without a fight, then who will bear this responsibility, and you will have to go to the military court, don't you see that after the first Battle of Songhu, the top commanders of the British and French forces all betrayed and exiled to the island? Klaus didn't want to be a wild man for the rest of his life.

Poof......

Klaus wrestled in a mouthful of blood spurting out. Immediately fainted and fell to the ground.

It's really time for this Nima to faint!

A group of British and French officers were dumbfounded, and finally looked at Raymond, because Klaus had lost his ability to command, and the highest commander was Raymond.

Raymond hated a lot in his heart, and he couldn't wait to kick Klaus who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, this Nima obviously wanted him to let Raymond carry the black cauldron!

Raymond also wanted to cry and squirt blood and pretend to be dead, but unfortunately his acting skills were not good.

"There's no point in fighting any longer, it doesn't do anything other than annihilating the whole army. Surrender! ”

With Raymond's order issued, a group of officers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Raymond would fight to the death, so they would all be buried together.

The surrender of the invincible Anglo-French forces was far worse than the defeat at the last Songhu meeting, which no one expected, and it was enough to shock the whole world.

Zhang Xiaoliu did not embarrass the other party and generously accepted their surrender. Although many officers and soldiers in the army do not like it very much.

annihilated the main force of 200,000 British and French forces, and captured the four top commanders of the Anglo-French army navy and army, Claus, Marin, Raymond, and Guba. It can be said that the Third Hip War, deliberately launched by Britain and France, was declared a failure, and although they still had a powerful combined fleet, it was no longer relevant to the overall situation.

On the one hand, Zhang Xiaoliu ordered people to send war reports back to Shanghai and report the victory to Li Weiguo, while continuing to supervise the First Front Army to the north, sweeping all the way. Recovering the "wild land" of Pudong occupied by the British and French forces.

The Anglo-French forces still had the last ground combat force, which was 10,000 French troops, and it was still in Sanjia Port.

Zhang Xiaoliu ordered the first town of the Nanyang Army's trump card to march rapidly overnight, taking advantage of the precious time when the news of the annihilation of the main force of the Anglo-French army had not yet been transmitted, to raid Sanjia Port. The last 10,000 French troops were annihilated, drawing a successful end to the Second Battle of Songhu.

I have to say that the trump card is the trump card, and the more than 12,000 officers and soldiers in the first town are all the old foundations of the Shanghai army, whether they are officers or soldiers, they are the elite of the elite who have fought for more than ten years, and they have always been famous for their armed rapid marches.

This time, however, the officers and soldiers of the First Town did not take a rapid march on foot and armed off-road, but all got on trucks and turned into mechanized troops.

Of course, in order to prepare for this war, Li Weiguo ordered the Jiangnan Automobile Factory to work overtime to produce thousands of trucks, which seemed to be a huge number, but in fact, if it was distributed to the million Nanyang Army, it would not work at all. Therefore, Li Weiguo ordered all the trucks to be used centrally and handed them over to the General Logistics Department, which was specifically responsible for the logistical supply of the various armies in the Shanghai Theater.

Zhang Xiaoliu in order to raid Sanjia Port, the French army was taken by surprise, and temporarily requisitioned 1,000 trucks from the Logistics Department to transport the officers and soldiers of the first town.

This is the powerful mobility of the mechanized army, which was implemented by Zhang Xiaoliu for the first time, and is destined to go down in the annals of history, and will be the first classic example in the history of human warfare to use trucks to transport troops to fight.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoliu, who was from an ordinary background, did not know at this time that his action would cause a sensation all over the world, and he was not interested in the idea that he would be ranked among the world's famous generals, his idea was very simple, that is, he did not want the 10,000 French troops to escape from Sanjia Port, and the elimination of 200,000 British and French troops and the elimination of 190,000 British and French troops were not the same concept at all, because the former is called total annihilation, which is of far-reaching significance.

When the 50,000 French troops were defeated on all fronts, there was indeed a small group of French troops that were not captured by the Nanyang Army, they ran very fast, and were retreating to Sanjia Port with all their might, once they arrived at Sanjia Port, it was bound to leak the news of the annihilation of the British and French forces, so the remaining 10,000 French troops would definitely immediately withdraw their camp and return to the British and French fleet.

Unfortunately, even if this small group of French troops broke two legs, they could not outrun the four-wheeled truck, and when they were still halfway through, the first town of the Nanyang Army had already arrived at Sanjia Port by truck.

For the officers and soldiers of the First Town, even if they were allowed to march for ten hours, they could quickly enter the battle without affecting their combat effectiveness, because they were the elite of the elite. Now riding in a truck saves the physical exertion of a rapid march. Every warrior is full of energy and physical strength, and his eyes are shining, just like a hungry wolf suddenly seeing his prey, which is the eyes that can only be possessed by bloody battles on the battlefield all year round.

In the temporary field headquarters, Lin Yao, commander of the First Town Division, Luo Xuecheng, chief of staff, and officers at or above the regimental level arrived. Gather in front of the military map of Sanjia Port.

"According to the report of the reconnaissance company, there are currently about 24,000 enemy troops in Sanjia Port, of which 10,000 are French Army, and the rest should be sailors of various ships of the Anglo-French Combined Fleet."

Hearing that the enemy's strength had suddenly doubled, the officers at all levels in the first town were not surprised, in their eyes, one sheep was also herded, and two sheep were also herded. What is the first town, that is called the trump card of trumps. There were only 24,000 men, and they were destroyed in a minute.

This is the self-confidence of the strong!

Seeing that all of them were calm and calm, Lin Yao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "If it is only 24,000 people, it will naturally be okay for our first town to take them, but don't forget, there is also a combined British and French fleet and dozens of warships in the port. Once the battle has begun, enemy ships will quickly provide artillery support. This is our biggest threat. ”

The biggest threat was not the 24,000 British and French troops, but the firepower of the British and French warships in the harbor.

The chief of staff said: "There is no wind tonight, and the British and French naval warships cannot use the sails to provide power, so they can only rely on steam engines, and it takes about half an hour for ignition, coal, and warm-up." This is the prime time for us to fight, and the battle must be resolved in half an hour. ”

"Please rest assured. Leave it to our 1st Brigade, which guarantees to break through the enemy's defenses within 10 minutes and settle the battle within 20 minutes. ”

"Division commander, leave it to our second brigade, we can break through the enemy's defenses in nine minutes. Resolve the battle in nineteen minutes. ”

"Commander—"

"Commander—"

The 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade began to rush for tasks and did not let each other go, which was already a pre-war practice, and there was no need to be a division commander for pre-war mobilization.

"Okay, you two don't fight, this time there are no reserves, all of them are the main force."

"Three minutes after the divisional artillery opened fire, the 1st Brigade launched an attack from the left flank, and the 2nd Brigade launched an attack from the right flank, no matter what the cost, within half an hour, I will completely annihilate the enemy troops in Sanjia Port."

"Please rest assured, the division commander, resolutely complete the task!"

Lin Yao nodded, and said to the division's special agent company: "All members of the special service company are dispatched, and when the battle starts, you must clear the enemy's important targets, and give priority to military musicians, artillerymen, and officers, understand?" ”

"Understood! The Secret Service Company is guaranteed to complete the mission! ”

This special service company is a special forces, only the ace troops are equipped, and the first town is the trump card of the trump card, and its special service company is a special force in the special forces, and everyone is an excellent sniper.

As for the so-called priority, it means that the sniper, under the same circumstances, must kill the target in front of the priority first, and so on.

The military musician, which is the key command method of the Western army, is the herald who gathers the army and directs the army to fight, so it is set as the first priority, followed by artillery, which will pose a threat to the officers and soldiers of the first town in the charge, so it is the second priority, and the last is the officer, this is because in the case of a surprise attack, the enemy army will be chaotic, and it is difficult for the officer to gather the army, unless he has a military musician by his side, so it is set as the third priority.

Of course, the first priority of snipers was to find enemy snipers, but unfortunately, only the Nanyang Army currently has snipers in the world, and other countries do not know what snipers mean, and they do not have sniper rifles.

"Very good, start the table now, and attack in five minutes!"

"Yes!"

The spy company took the lead, and the sniper division occupied the commanding heights in various favorable terrains and locked on to their own important targets.

The artillery regiment quickly deployed, and 9 75-mm infantry guns, 9 125-mm plus howitzers, and 9 155-mm heavy howitzers were quickly put into position, and the muzzles of the guns were raised high.

Click-

The shells were loaded, and the bolts were locked.

"One shot—good!"

"Second artillery - good!"

……

After the guns were prepared, the gunnery chief looked at the time and raised his arm holding the red flag high above his head.

"Ready—"

"Put!"

Knock knock......

27 artillery pieces opened fire in a terrifying manner, kicking off the prelude to the raid on Sanjia Port.

One after another, the cannonballs roared and fell into the Sanjia port, exploding, and a cloud of mushrooms then rose into the air.

The sudden shelling instantly stunned the British and French troops in Sanjia Port.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Assemble! Hurry up and set-"

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a French officer who was shouting for assembly was instantly shot in the head, and his body fell to the ground.

The commander was killed, and he gathered a yarn!

Similarly, many of the military musicians who were about to blow the trumpet to gather the soldiers were shot in the first place, making it impossible for them to convey the orders of their commanders, which exacerbated the confusion.

At the same time, by the second minute of the shelling, the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the First Town had already begun their charge, and by the time the artillery fire had been extended, they had just rushed in front of the French positions.

On the forward position of the French army in Sanjia Port, the French soldiers who were stunned by the sudden artillery fire saw the extension of the enemy's artillery fire and hurriedly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, but they were instantly dumbfounded, because the soldiers of the Nanyang Army had rushed to the position.

The bayonet was red, and the two sides immediately began a fierce fight.

Unfortunately, the French soldiers who rushed to the battle did not have time to organize an effective formation to resist, and were instantly defeated by the Nanyang Army, just like when the French army led by Guba was defeated before, these French soldiers were suddenly frightened, screaming and running in all directions, as a result, they handed over their backs to the enemy, and the end was obviously shot.

In less than five minutes, the forward position of the French army was broken in an instant.

In Sanjia Port, there was still chaos, but the British and French sailors were not in chaos, because they all knew that going to find their own warships was equivalent to a fixed assembly point, and the commander did not need to inform them.

It's just that after the British and French sailors returned to the battleship, they had to face a difficult problem, on a windless night, the sails were useless, and it took time for the steam engine to ignite and heat.

Fortunately, the Nanyang Army was an army and not a navy, otherwise the British and French warships would have suffered a heavy price.

Half an hour was like a nightmare for the French troops in Sanjia Port.

The soldiers could not find the generals, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, the arsenals and barracks were destroyed by artillery fire as soon as possible, and the soldiers could not even find their guns and ammunition.

Do you want to fight the enemy with a burning stick? They don't seem to have that courage.

With the sudden loss of the forward position, their situation was even worse, and in the face of the Nanyang Army, which was armed to the teeth, the French army suddenly became a lamb to the slaughter.

The soldiers of the Nanyang Army, who rushed in from all directions, showed no mercy and immediately launched a one-sided massacre of the French army.

In thirty minutes, twenty-nine minutes to be exact, the 10,000 French troops in Sanjia Harbor were all wiped out, and more than 4,000 British and French sailors who had not had time to return to the battleship were killed.

When the steam engines of the British and French ships began to operate, the first town of the Nanyang Army, which had raided Sanjia Port, had already retreated, which made the commanders of the British and French ships who were about to return fire with fierce naval guns angry. (To be continued.) )
