Chapter 64 Bombardment of Tsarist Russian Harbor
Normally, when the two armies are fighting, the artillery positions will be established in a hidden and safe place, and the most critical point is that they are far enough away from the enemy's positions, usually separated by several kilometers, or even separated by several mountains, so that the safety of the artillery positions is naturally higher.
The artillery positions chosen by Yue Weihua are basically not far from the shore of the Black Dragon Army, so that if the shells are fired, if they encounter the opponent's experienced artillery, it does not take too many rounds, and it is easy for the opponent to capture the location of the artillery position, so as to quickly counterattack.
Of course, the closer you are to the enemy, the more accurate the bombing will be, because the commander does not need to guide the shelling according to the coordinates provided by others, but can directly direct the shelling through his own observation, and can even accurately adjust the angle according to the landing point of the shells, and this kind of shelling is undoubtedly more efficient.
As for the other party's counterattack, Yue Weihua is not afraid, Su Sancang said, three rounds of shelling, within ten minutes, it is difficult for them to catch, the end of the five rounds of shelling, about fifteen minutes, this should be a critical point, after all, the distance is so close, if you stand on the high ground, you can even see with a telescope the fireworks coming out of your own position.
Therefore, after Yue Weihua chose five rounds of salvos, let the artillerymen go directly to the horses and leave, and he directly collected all the artillery, and in less than a minute, the position was empty, and Lao Maozi just hit the shells, what can he do?
The deputy commander of Tsarist Russia's Hailan Pao, Halabsky, was indeed a talent, and he reacted very quickly, and three coastal defense guns bombarded the No. 2 artillery position where the position was empty, and bombarded it continuously for more than ten minutes, before he ordered a ceasefire, and cursed in his mouth: "Damn, this should be the end of it." ”
Thundered!
Thundered!
Sometimes you are unlucky, you can stuff your teeth with cold water, Your Excellency the Deputy Commander, obviously, is not very lucky, before he finished speaking, the other party's shells actually hit again, and dozens of shells, all of them are coming towards him.
"Bastard, how can they have so many cannons, ah,......?"
Major General Khalabsky, deputy commander, became the first general to die in the invasion of the three eastern provinces of Tsarist Russia, of course, the above sentence is his last words before his death, he didn't believe it until his death, when will the Qing army have so many artillery, because he found that the other party's three shellings came from three different artillery positions, and each shelling had dozens of cannons fired in unison.
……
Heihe Tuncheng.
This important frontier town changed hands overnight, and at the same time, overnight, it became an empty city.
The temporary garrison of the Russian army, including the battalion commander Pechenkin and other Tsarist officers, had long lost the excitement of the early morning seizure of the city, in addition to tiredness, they were all serious and heavy-faced, because they had just learned from the headquarters that the Windenigis regiment had been destroyed, and with it the fleet, and they had become a lone army.
The order given by the headquarters is still the same: hold on, don't attack for the time being!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the order of the headquarters, let us hold on, I don't think you will have any more objections, right?" Major battalion commander Peichenkin said helplessly.
The order in front of them, although the order issued was exactly the same as an hour ago, but their mentality was obviously different, before these old Maozi, for this order was sneering, threatening to leave only one company, the other three companies can go to attack the city, and now, look at the faces of one by one to understand, the Qing army may not be as rumored, so vulnerable.
"Hold on."
"I also second."
……
Thundered!
Thundered!
Before these officers could finish their statement, suddenly a burst of artillery rang out, interrupting the discussion of these old hairy people.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't the battle at the docks over?"
"Why is there another cannon shot?"
A minute later, all of them, including Peichenkin, rushed to the city wall, looked at the Heihetun Wharf and the military port on the other side, only to see the dense artillery fire, and in the blink of an eye, the general port was submerged, and the explosion and flames rose into the sky.
"**** raised, Major, I Edward asked to fight."
"We went to clear the dog's artillery position."
"Yes, fight."
……
The arrogant and arrogant white bear did not choose to evacuate quietly as Yue Weihua expected, I have to say that Peichenkin, the vanguard of Tsarist Russia, is passionate and enthusiastic, and when they saw that their home port was actually bombarded by the Qing army, they collectively chose that they would be outside, and the king's order would not be affected.
Although Yue Weihua was wrong, the result was the same.
Peichenjin led the whole battalion of soldiers out of the city, and was discovered in advance by the spies sent by Yue Xiaodong, so he rode back to Vlar Mountain and reported to Yue Xiaodong, at this time Yue Xiaodong had just received Yue Weihua's order, and was about to lead troops from Vlar Mountain to the direction of Heihe Tuncheng, and couldn't help laughing after hearing it.
"Brother Qiao, Master Zou, it seems that we don't have to go to the forest, these old hairies raised by bitches came out to die by themselves."
Brother Qiao, naturally Qiao San, originally escorted the common people to the second station and the wolf domain with Liu Liren, but because of the rapid rout of Chen Yiqing, the Qing army's defender, he was ordered by Yue Weihua to be recovered, and asked him to cooperate with Yue Xiaodong to guard the eastern entrance of Vlar Mountain, in case the back road was cut off by Peichenjin's department.
Master Zou, formerly known as Zou Yin, is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, looks five big and three thick, is a senior brother of the Boxers, that is, a Boxer leader who is active around Heihetun, the Tsarist invasion, the boxers of the Boxers fully joined the battle to assist the Qing army against Russia, last night Chen Yiqing abandoned the city, Zou Yin took the boxers to the palace, more than 200 boxers died nearly 100.
When they retreated to Vlar Mountain, they met Yue Xiaodong's department, the two were old acquaintances, Yue Xiaodong also intended to leave Zou Yin behind, and together they blocked the Russian army, and Zou Yin also wanted to avenge the dead brothers, so he stayed, preparing to fight with Lao Maozi again.
"Haha, okay, after a while, our brothers of Yihequan will definitely rush to the front to repay the gift of Brother Yue." Zou Yin laughed.
The equipment of the Boxers is really poor, among the more than 100 remnants of the army, half of them are fighting with cold weapons, and the remaining half are mostly earth guns, for this reason, Yue Xiaodong took the initiative and sent everyone a water bead and fifty bullets, the guns and bullets were captured, and the brothers of the Black Dragon Army couldn't look down on them, but this made Zou Yin like a treasure, and he was moved.
"Senior Brother Zou, why bother to see outside, it's just a few broken guns." Yue Xiaodong said with a smile.
"Company Commander Yue, I just seemed to hear from the brother who ordered us, we seem to have reinforcements?" Qiao San interrupted the conversation between the two and asked.
"Well, the brothers of the second and fourth companies will come over to help in the battle, I knew that Lao Maozi would take the initiative to attack, so there is no need for the brothers of the second and fourth companies to toss, we are enough to destroy them." Yue Xiaodong said.
Although what Yue Xiaodong said was true, Qiao San frowned secretly after hearing it, although the Black Dragon Army had strong firepower, but after all, it had just formed an army, if it was only to stop Lao Maozi's battalion, of course it would not be difficult, but if it was to be completely annihilated, it was not easy, so he said: "Company Commander Yue, since there are reinforcements, we might as well notify the reinforcements, let them copy the path, and return to the direction of Heihe Tuncheng, when the time comes, wouldn't it be easier for us to attack one after the other?" ”
"What Brother Qiao said is good, just do it, come and ,......
……
I have to say that Mount Vlar is the blessed land of the Black Dragon Army, and they took advantage of this battlefield last night. The ambush annihilated the main force of the Anania regiment, and now Pechenkin, with another battalion of men, is about to throw himself into the net, and a battle of annihilation will start here again.
At this time, Yue Weihua was standing on a high ground next to the No. 3 artillery position, Yue Weihua held a high-powered Zeiss telescope, accompanied the Su Third Artillery, and watched the results of the shelling.
"Haha, Commander, Lao Maozi's fort has been completely destroyed, it seems that we don't need to change places." Su Sanpao laughed and said, being able to bombard the Russian army port and destroy the opponent's battery, how excited he was.
"No, I have to change it."
Although Lao Maozi's fort was bombed down, it does not mean that Lao Maozi has no artillery, as far as Yue Weihua knows, Lao Maozi's garrison on the other side has at least one regiment or more troops, and in their warehouse, there may still be ten eight cannons.
Of course, it is not excluded that the continuous bombardment on his side has destroyed Lao Maozi's artillery, but Yue Weihua does not dare to bet that the dozens of artillery under the Su San Gunner are definitely baby Gada for Yue Weihua, because he is the seed of the artillery of the Black Dragon Army, which is absolutely not to be lost.
Besides, changing positions doesn't take much trouble for Yue Weihua, anyway, after the continuous bombardment, the cannon also needs a cooling time, so it can be regarded as an intermission, and the effect of continuous bombing may not be as good as interval bombing.
Thundered!
Not to mention, Yue Weihua's caution was right, no, Yue Weihua had just left the No. 3 artillery position with the team for a few minutes, and Lao Maozi's artillery bombarded over.
"It's dangerous, but the commander is thoughtful." Su San said.
"Drive, go, stay away, don't be hurt by your mother's mistake." Yue Weihua smiled, patted his horse and galloped towards the predetermined No. 4 position.
Thundered!
Thundered!
Ten minutes later, the third round of bombardment began again, and during the bombardment, Yue Weihua himself hid aside and entered a state of false sleep, in fact, it was Yue Weihua's consciousness that entered the merit tower, because he wanted to see how the results of the two consecutive rounds of bombardment were.
"Haha, yes, yes, these two rounds of bombardment should have almost killed a battalion and a half of Lao Maozi." Yue Weihua smiled with a smile.
It turned out that after the two rounds of bombing, there were more than 3,300 merit points on the account, of which the first round of bombing earned more than 2,200 points, and the second bombardment made more than 1,100 points.
"Report to the Commander, gunshots are coming from the direction of Vlaar Mountain."
Yue Weihua didn't sleep for a few minutes, and then he got the news, Yue Weihua's consciousness quickly returned to his body, and after a little thought, he smiled and said: "Hehe, it seems that Lao Maozi has no shortage of hot-blooded people, well, it's okay, end the battle early, go back to rest early." ”
