Chapter 895: The Capture of Ding Alan Bay (3)

In the face of the sudden fierce attack, Grace knew very well in his heart that the fierce attack launched from the east flank, look at this firepower, but the artillery, the opponent is not less than one artillery regiment, and the infantry strength will definitely not be less than 10,000 people!

With such a large-scale attack, that only shows one problem, that is, the Ting Alan Bay Fort has been lost! It was definitely the failure of the Dingalan Bay Fort, which led to the enemy's large-scale landing in a very short period of time, and it took less than two or three hours to advance the battle line to the city, and now the city of Dingalan is a lonely city, and all contact with the outside world has been cut off!

"Order all departments, refuse to defend the city, no matter what, you must resist the attack and hold on until the arrival of reinforcements!"

Grace roared, "Immediately send a telegram to the Governor of Celeste, saying that the enemy army has made a detour to Tulip Bay, successfully landed, and immediately broke through to the bay of Dingalan, destroyed the fort of Dingalan Bay, our army suffered heavy casualties, the city of Dingalan was besieged, and the day was precarious, our troops swore to defend the city of Dingalan to the death, and swore to live and die with the city of Dingalan!" Please urge the Governor to rush to the aid of all ministries! ”

Now it can only be held to the death, knowing that the opponent is already strong to the point of being irresistible, he can still only choose to defend to the death, because Ding Alan City has been surrounded by enemy troops in all directions, thousands of enemy troops in the west, tens of thousands of enemy troops in the east, even if he is powerful, in the face of such a strong enemy, if he wants to defend Ding Alan City, it is also wishful thinking, although he also has thousands of people, however, all the artillery of the two infantry brigades has been lost, just by virtue of the few cannons at the head of the city, It is not too much of a threat to the opponent at all!

The Spanish army climbed to the top of the city to defend, the rifles in their hands kept ringing, on the opposite side, the provisional second division was to use the artillery to the maximum power, an artillery regiment, more than 80 artillery pieces, full fire, covering the entire city, in just an hour, more than 2,000 shells have been fired, Ding Alan City is only a small city with a population of less than 50,000 people, how can it withstand such a fierce artillery attack?

It was not a very tall city wall under the destruction of artillery fire, first seven or eight artillery pieces on the head of the city were destroyed by the artillery regiment of the provisional Second Division, and then there was the city wall, a piece of the city wall collapsed under the fierce bombardment, and a gap of seven or eight meters wide was exposed in front of the officers and men of the Second Division.

Virhengtong was overjoyed, it had only been less than two hours, and the walls of the city of D'Alan had been destroyed, and at this rate, the battle could be completely ended at dawn and the entire city of D'Alan could be taken for himself!

"Order the 10th Regiment and the 11th Regiment to immediately launch a charge and use the greatest firepower to take Ding Alan City!"

Verhenton roared.

The two infantry regiments received the order and, like a tidal wave, swooped down on the gap at the head of the city, holding down the weak points of the Spanish defense, and launched the most ferocious assault!

It's a pity that the two divisions led by Chen Hai are not equipped with heavy machine guns, and can only suppress the enemy's firepower through artillery and rifles.

However, even so, the Spanish army was not able to hold out for long, and the artillery fire of the provisional second division was so fierce that the Spanish army could not raise its head at all!

Onslaught, onslaught!

After four successive failed charges, the fifth charge, this time the Spanish army could no longer withstand the fierce offensive of the second division, and was finally rushed to a huge gap by two infantry regiments, along the broken wall, the soldiers rushed up, under the dense firepower, the Spanish army retreated, and there was no power to fight back!

"Order, immediately deploy troops to support, you must beat the opponent, you must drive the enemy army off the city!"

Grace and Christine were sweating profusely and roaring constantly, but even if they shouted through their throats, it didn't help, the opponent's attack was too fierce, and the most unfortunate thing was that as the attack on Dongcheng entered the most critical stage, Xicheng, the first brigade and the cavalry regiment launched a fierce attack on the head of Xicheng at the same time!

Two fierce attacks, the Spanish army was overwhelmed, and the troops were stretched!

Xicheng is not much to say, after all, the first brigade has been marching and fighting one after another, the soldiers are tired, and the strength is not as strong as the second division, so naturally it can only be the Spanish army in Xicheng to implement the greatest containment, and it is impossible to attack the city in a short time, but Dongcheng is different, the second division is full of meritorious service, it is completely desperate to fight, continuous impact, forward and forward, not afraid of death!

Now, the gap in the city wall is getting bigger and bigger, and with the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, a new gap has come out, the 12th Regiment and the 13th Regiment have also rushed up, and the officers and men of the Sixth Army gathered in the two gaps are getting shorter and shorter, and in just a few dozen minutes, at least three battalions have rushed into the city, and there are still a steady stream of troops rushing over.

The general trend is gone, the general trend is gone!

Grace and Christine had no way at all, they couldn't stop the opponent's attack at all, and they still underestimated the opponent's strength and firepower at the beginning, where is only 10,000 people? I'm afraid it's going to be close to 20,000 people!

Under the fierce blows of the enemy, the Spanish army has retreated from the head of the city to the center of the city, and it is still unable to stop the opponent's offensive, not only that, but the first brigade at this time has also begun to board the west city, and the fall of the entire city of Ding Alan is inevitable!

"Retreat! Retreat towards the southern city......"

Grace is now disheartened and full of despair, since the destruction of the city is a foregone conclusion, and he continues to fight to the death, there is no point in it, it is better to abandon the city and leave, and prepare for the next counterattack!

Grace and Christine led the remaining more than 4,000 people, or broke through to the southern city, rushed out of Ding Alan City, and urgently retreated to the southwest, plus the domain, the closest city to Ding Alan City is the southwest of the city of Jiafan, fled to the Jia domain, and then thought of other countermeasures.

It's just that if you want to successfully break through, where is it that simple? The cavalry regiment of the 2nd Division had already been prepared, and rushed through the spurs, cutting off the remnants of Grace and Christine's defeated army and cutting them in two!

Then, the cavalry circled back, and all the Spanish troops behind fell into the encirclement of the cavalry, and not far away, an infantry rushed out of the city of Ding Alan again and began the pursuit from behind!

Grace's fate is good, he ran at the front and fled, but Christine was unlucky, the remnants of more than 2,000 people were surrounded by the soldiers of the Sixth Legion, and they were completely in a desperate situation, they couldn't beat others, and at the same time, they couldn't run away from others, there was only one way to perish!
