With the river steamers under the cover of gunboats, risking being bombarded, and successively starting the mode of forced landing, the nightmare of the Tsarist Russian fleet finally entered a climax.

At the same time, the 101st Regiment and the new battalion of the Black Dragon Army, plus the special combat personnel, these three or four thousand people, they can basically only watch the artillerymen make meritorious contributions, but they cannot act themselves.

But after the forced landing of the Tsarist Russian fleet, these Tsarist infantry and landing combat teams basically hit the muzzle of the gun directly, if it weren't for Yue Weihua's repeated orders, emphasizing that they must wait for the best opportunity, otherwise, they might have been impatient to take action.

Da-da-da-da!

Bang bang bang!

It should be said that the landing point chosen by these three river ships is a relatively good place, at least the bank is not a high mountain, but a slightly higher point of the river, although the high point, but because of the nature of the slope, it is not difficult to climb up, and the length of the entire embankment is forty or fifty meters.

However, it is precisely because this section of the river bank is relatively gentle and not steep at all that it is almost certain that once the other side chooses to forcibly land, there will definitely be warships to land here, so it was handed over to the first battalion of the 101st Regiment, and the regiment commander Chen Qian personally sat here again.

The first battalion of the 101st regiment, which is almost the strongest combat battalion of the Black Dragon Army, not to mention the weapons and equipment, and the soldiers are almost all veterans of a hundred battles. Why did you come to three river ships, these more than 1,000 old hairmen are not enough for everyone to be appetizing.

"Everyone saves bullets, there is no need to strafe, they all shoot at Lao Tzu."

"Heavy machine gunner, give Lao Tzu fire support to block the Russian river ships."

"Mortars and grenadiers. Don't waste the cannonballs on the old Maozi in the river, and greet Lao Tzu on the river boat. ”

"What about the grenades, the grenades also greeted the Lao Maozijiang ship, see it, these three ships have been bombarded a lot, as long as they give them a few more cannons, it is estimated that they will sink."

……

Chen Qian kept shouting, annihilating the more than a thousand old Maozi in this river, there was no pressure on them at all. The only thing that is a little stressed, perhaps, is the river ship twenty or thirty meters away, after all, the power of the artillery on the river ship is not covered, if they really let them come with two cannons, I am afraid that they will have to sacrifice a lot of soldiers on their side.

However, Chen Qian is obviously too worried, if Su Sanpao is here, he will tell Chen Qian. Despite the rest assured, such a close distance. At such a low angle, it is almost impossible for the opponent's shipborne artillery to hit it, and after these three river ships found out that there was an ambush, it was too late to escape, except for a little fire support from the ship's heavy machine guns. Dare to stay there for half a minute longer.

Thundered!

More than a dozen mortars and 30 grenadiers, plus a large number of grenades, simultaneously attacked three river steamers and gunboats twenty or thirty meters away, which had already suffered heavy damage. I was stunned to blow up one of the river ships.

Lieutenant General Grodekov, who was a kilometer downstream, saw this scene, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and he finally understood that the other side had not only ambushed a large number of artillery positions, but also ambushed a large number of infantry at some possible landing sites.

In the next half hour, Grodekov and others found that four landing sites had been completely blown up, and very few of the soldiers were able to climb ashore, and even lost three or four river boats in a row.

After seeing this situation, those fleets that were still looking for a landing site, or were preparing to try to force a landing, did not need Grodekov's order, and finally stopped this act of sending them to death, but the problem is that the center of the river is not safe, during this time, the other side's shelling has not stopped, of course, because the speed of the river ships and gunboats has risen, and they have further figured out the main firepower points of the Black Dragon Army, so the speed of battle damage has slowly decreased, but the ships on the river have become sparse.

According to preliminary estimates, after more than an hour, there are probably only more than ten river boats left that can still sail normally, and there are only five or six gunboats, and as for the other ships, even if they are not sunk, they are basically all scrapped.

"It's over." Grodekov's face was bloodless and he muttered to himself.

"Your Excellency the Governor, let's choose to evacuate, it is better to be able to escape a few ships than to annihilate the whole army." Chief of Staff Paparos reminded.

"Evacuate?" Grodyokov shook his head and said helplessly: "It's too late to evacuate now, the opponent's artillery can block at least ten kilometers of the river, do you think that our remaining ships can be lucky enough to break through the enemy's blockade?" ”

"What then?"

"What should I do?"

No matter what they do, speaking of which, Grodekov and the others are lucky, because the river ship they are on does not seem to have been bombarded much, and they don't know if the other party's eyes are like a torch and it is intentional, or Grodekov They are really very lucky.

And the answer is obviously the former, this is indeed Yue Weihua's intention, Yue Weihua's purpose is very simple, when the battle is just underway, as long as the opponent's main commander is there, then it is unlikely that he will directly choose to evacuate, which is the most beneficial to the Black Dragon Army.

And until the battle, Yue Weihua still hasn't let people move this battleship, because he hopes that the opposing master will be able to recognize the situation and take the initiative to surrender, if so, not only can he save a lot of ammunition, but also capture a lot of warships.

Of course, it can also capture a lot of Tsarist soldiers, although Tsarist Russia is greedy, shameless, and aggressors, but we can't kill them every time, this is not good to hear after all, and sometimes the living prisoners will be more useful than the dead, such as catching to build roads, open mines, and even in some unexpected times, may play a very important role.

Obviously, Yue Weihua thought about it very thoughtfully, the battle has reached the current level, and it is impossible for the Tsarist fleet to have a chance to escape, or choose to fight to the death, but the key is that you want to fight to the death with the other side, but you find that you can't effectively fight back, and the result can only be death, as for the other option, that is, it can be surrendered.

Sure enough, after being silent for a few minutes, Grodevkov suddenly said: "This war failed, I, Grodekov, am fully responsible, and it is not a pity to die, but the soldiers who are still lucky to survive should not be sent to death, they are still young, they should live." ”

"But I heard that this Black Dragon Army never wants to be captured, if we surrender, will the other party kill the prisoners, and can they give our prisoners the treatment they deserve?" The commander of the infantry brigade, Major General Minovsky, asked with some concern.

"It shouldn't be enough to kill prisoners, according to our news reports, the Ivanos Infantry Brigade that captured Aihui City at the beginning, after they were broken by the Black Dragon Army, the Black Dragon Army captured more than 1,000 of our soldiers, including Major General Brigade Commander Ivanos, and Brigade Chief of Staff Spanoris." Grodyokov added.

These messages, the officers below, and even the brigade commanders of major generals, were concealed, which was mainly the meaning of the tsar and the War Department, and its purpose was naturally self-evident.

Hearing Grodekov's answer, the two major generals and brigade commanders were angry and a little glad in their hearts, angry that this kind of news, front-line officers of their own level didn't even know, and fortunately, they might have survived, after all, no one wants to die, and they are not little devils, and they can't cut their stomachs at every turn, to thank the emperor, that's because these little ghosts have been brainwashed too thoroughly.

Seeing that the two brigade commanders did not object, Grodevkov looked at the chief of staff Paparos, who had been silent, and asked: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, time waits for no one, every minute of delay, we may have a river ship sunk, and hundreds of soldiers may be sacrificed, so we must make a decision as soon as possible, then, please tell me, what do you think?" ”

The chief of staff, Paparos, came back to his senses at this time, then nodded, and said solemnly: "I agree with what the commander-in-chief said, but before surrendering, we should explain the situation to the Tsar, not to ask for forgiveness, but we must explain the reason, and, tell the War Department, tell them, we should do everything possible to collect as much information as possible before the other side officially boards the ship and surrenders, and then send it to the War Department and His Majesty the Tsar as soon as possible." ”

Paparos's words made Grodekov's eyes brighten, defeat was inevitable, and his own responsibility must be unavoidable, but if he could collect enough valuable information from the other party and send it back to the country, he didn't dare to say that he would be guilty, at least he would not let his responsibility be implicated in his family, you know, although Tsarist Russia is already a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist country, in fact, their military and officialdom are also very dark and full of factional struggles.

"What the chief of staff said is good, so it is decided, now pass my order, order all ships to raise the white flag, and put the muzzles down." After giving the order, Grodekov continued: "Now let's discuss what to do in order to obtain sufficient and valuable information."

"I think ,......。"

……

The movements of the Russian ships were very fast, and within three minutes of Grodekov's order, the ships of the Russian fleet, whether they were still able to sail normally or those who were half-stopped in the river and were waiting to die, all planted white flags, and all the guns on all the ships were pointed downwards to show that they had surrendered.

"Hehe, Lao Maozi is still quite familiar with current affairs, since this is the case, then order all parties to stop the shelling, but before the official surrender, everyone can't relax, and the muzzle of the cannon will always lock them for me."

"In addition, the flag was waved and they were ordered to arrive at the artillery position at point C and surrender to the shore."

"And ,......
