"Be careful!"

A loud roar. Sounded next to Lieutenant Colonel Amor of the US Army. Amor followed the voice, and his eyes widened for he saw a figure rushing towards him quickly.

"Smack!!"

With a muffled thud, the soldier threw Amor to the ground.

At the same time, three meters from the front of the fortifications, a shell hit the ground.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, countless pieces of dirt splashed in the air, and then fell with a clatter.

Amor raised his head, pushed away the soldiers who were pressing on him, turned over, pointed to the battleships on the sea, and said loudly: "Aim at the battleships on the sea and fire." This time he fought with Li Zhen, and if he won this battle, he was rewarded and could even find a beautiful woman on the island to be a woman. Those who want to win, those who want to be promoted and make a fortune, all fire at me. ”

"Boom! Rumble!!! ”

A series of artillery shots rang out, and Amor's army began to counterattack.

One after another, shells flew out and towards the sea. The two sides engaged in an artillery exchange, and the soldiers under Li Zhen's command who operated the battleship had already been prepared, so there was no panic and they safely avoided the shells and advanced. At the same time, the soldiers loaded with shells on the ship aimed at the positions of the American artillery in the harbor and fired a fierce attack.

"Boom !!"

The explosion, deafening.

At this moment, the port is already in flames.

Standing in the trenches, Amor already felt the ground trembling constantly, and felt that his eardrums were irritated, which was very uncomfortable. Especially when Amor saw that the firepower of the artillery under his command was gradually suppressed, his heart became even more nervous. Because the two sides are attacking each other in artillery fire, whoever has a slightly lower artillery fire force must be completely suppressed.

Gradually, there was no power to fight back.

"Lieutenant colonel, no, the position is being shelled, and we can't reload the artillery to counterattack." The man in charge of the artillery ran up to Amor with a worried look on his face. Under the continuous splashing of mud and sand, the face of the person who reported the report was covered with sand and gravel, and his body was dirty and very embarrassed.

Amor took advantage of the company and said in a deep voice: "Resist, you must resist!" ”

At the moment, Amor still didn't want to retreat.

Because once he led the soldiers to retreat, it meant that Li Zhen's army would have to land ashore, and then it would fall into the previous situation of fighting with Qi Zhenhai's army, which would turn into a land confrontation.

This time, Amor didn't want Li Zhen's army to land, and wanted to hold the port.

"Boom!!"

A shell flew and landed at the position of the cannon, blowing up so that the cannon flew out. At the same time, the shell next to it also exploded, and a rumbling sound sounded, and the soldiers who operated the cannons, as well as the soldiers who loaded the shells, were killed.

Seeing this, Amor felt a pain in his heart.

However, such things do not end there. The cannons flying from the sea seemed to have eyes, aimed at the position of the guns on the shore to attack, and blew up the American batteries one after another, so that the artillery under Amor was almost completely paralyzed, and failed to pose any threat to the warships under Li Zhen's command.

"Lieutenant colonel, the position is lost, the artillery is completely useless, do you still have to hold on?" A soldier ran over and asked eagerly.

Amor took a deep breath and said, "Steady, steady, must resist." ”

At the moment, the only thing Amor can do is persevere.

"Whoa!!"

As he spoke, a cannonball flew over again. The shell no longer flew towards the position where the battery was located, but fell into the trench where the soldiers of the army were hiding.

"Get down!"

At this moment, Amor could not remain calm. He roared and quickly crouched in the trench, holding his head with his head down, as if he were a war criminal about to surrender. The surrounding soldiers also saw the cannonballs flying in the sky and hid in the trenches.

"Boom!!"

The shell hit the ground and there was a violent explosion.

Amor crouched down in time, and the soldiers around him also prepared early, so there were no casualties among the soldiers. However, the expression on Amor's face was not at all relaxed, it was extremely grim.

The situation is very unfavorable!

On the sea, the warships continued to move forward, gradually approaching the port of Penghu Island. Li Zhen stood on the deck, observing the situation of the US troops in the harbor through the telescope, and saw that the other side's artillery fire was as dumb as if it could not fire, and his face was filled with joy. What can threaten the battleship is the artillery fire of the US army, which knocks the US army into a dumb one, and this is the greatest success.

"Order, target the trench bombardment of the American troops, blow them up, and force all the American troops to retreat!"

Li Zhen ordered loudly and adjusted the center of gravity of the cannon.

Previously, the focus of all artillery bombardment was on the artillery positions of the American army, to completely crush the opposing side. Under the continuous attack, Li Zhen had already achieved his goal, and the soldiers in the American trenches still existed, so there was still a great obstacle for Li Zhen's army to go ashore, and Li Zhen decisively adjusted the focus of artillery fire.

Under the dense artillery fire, Amor was at a loss.

This time, he was a complete miscalculation.

Amor's initial plan was to use the artillery attack on his side to block all Li Zhen's warships at sea, and even sink Li Zhen's warships. However, after the firepower of the two sides clashed, Amor did not expect that the artillery under his command lost a little opportunity and was destroyed by Li Zhen's artillery.

In fact, Amor has another plan.

Even if Li Zhen's army landed in the port, Amor could still set up defenses in the port and use the fortifications to block the advance of Li Zhen's army. At present, under the intensive artillery fire on the warships, Amor has no chance to catch his breath and cannot fight back, and the soldiers under his command are also attacked by artillery fire and suffer countless casualties and huge losses.

The two plans failed, and Amor could no longer hold on.

"Withdraw! Retreat now! ”

Amor gave the order, and gloomily withdrew from the trenches with his soldiers, retreating towards the fortifications behind. The port was the first line of defense arranged by Amor, but there was a second line of defense behind Amor, so he quickly retreated, preparing to block Li Zhen's army in the second line of defense.

"Lord Wang, the U.S. troops have withdrawn."

Zuo Zongtang saw the retreat of the US troops, and his face also showed joy. Zeng Guofan stroked the beard under his chin and bowed his head slightly. Although Zeng Guofan still looked calm, his eyes showed excitement. This was the first time Zeng Guofan had confronted foreigners, and it was also the first time that Zeng Guofan had taken a battleship to fight in the open sea, and he had a different feeling in his heart.

One by one, the warships advanced, entered the harbor and docked. Li Zhen ordered a part of the soldiers to be on guard on the boat to prevent Amor from killing one of the soldiers with the rifles, and then let the soldiers disembark in batches. At the same time, the soldiers who got off the battleship were immediately on alert, and so on, all the soldiers disembarked quickly and orderly.

In each battalion, the soldiers in charge of carrying machine guns are all vigorous and high-spirited, and have become a beautiful scenery in the army. Everyone knows how powerful the machine gun is, and they are all envious, wishing that they were carrying the machine gun themselves.

ps: The second shift, call it a day. I have to stay up late to do things at work, only two watches, and try to strive for three shifts tomorrow. Although the update is not powerful, Xiaodong is still insisting and working hard.
