Chapter 60: The Battle of the Dock Annihilation
Hailan Pao Tsarist Russian military port.
At this time, eight minutes have passed since the outbreak of the battle, and more than a dozen cannons fired in unison, directly sinking the outermost fireboat, which happened to fall into the eyes of Gribsky and other Tsarist Russian generals.
"Bastard."
"Damn the Chinese."
"What about Anania, was it really wiped out by the Huaxia?"
"Look, those steamers have all stopped, my God, if that's the case, won't it become a target for the Chinese people?"
A group of high-ranking officials and generals of Tsarist Russia, each holding a telescope to quickly scan the entire battlefield situation, after all, the river is unobstructed, the distance is not too far, the natural situation is clear at a glance, Gribsky's heart is even more cold, the most worrying thing finally happened.
"Your Excellency Commander, we should immediately carry out artillery support, and at the same time quickly send troops across the river to reinforce it?" Deputy Chief of Staff Gretu said.
"Artillery support?" Gribsky shook his head, looked at the deputy commander Harabsky and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy to support the artillery fire, our two steamers and two cargo ships have already docked, and the other two steamships are not far from the shore, so it is difficult for our artillery fire to achieve accurate strikes without accidentally injuring our own people." Deputy Commander Harabsky bluntly said that he was born as an artilleryman and was still very clear about the accuracy of the artillery.
"Can you bombard the enemy's artillery positions?" Chief of Staff Gao Hang Wusha added that if the opponent's artillery fire cannot be suppressed, then sending a fleet to support it will be under tremendous pressure, and even the losses will be aggravated.
"It's difficult, at least let the opponent shoot more than three rounds of salvos to catch some clues, but don't get your hopes up." Kharabsky said bluntly, and it was clear that as soon as the opponent's three salvos passed, the few remaining Russian steamers on the other side of the river may have sunk.
"No matter how difficult it is, Your Excellency Harabsky, you should go to the battery yourself, I hope you can hear our cannon in ten minutes." Gribsky ordered directly.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Halabsky received the order and hurried away.
"Order all gunboats to be ready and ready for reinforcements at any time." Gribsky groaned for a moment, and then ordered, large steamships are easy targets, and they are not fast enough, but gunboats are different, small in size, fast in speed, and can be used to rescue those soldiers who have fallen into the water, even if they cannot be reinforced by fire.
"Yes."
"Hey, it is said that the Chinese people are weak and have low combat effectiveness, and several other armies have made great achievements and expanded their territory, but why did our side just fight and suffer such heavy losses?" Chief of Staff Gao Hang Wusha muttered.
"Hmph, those damn arrogant guys, their battle reports must be mixed with water." Gribsky was furious, as if his defeat was due to someone else.
"Then how should we write the battle report here?" Gao Hang Wusha asked.
"Hey, report it truthfully, it's time to let His Majesty the Tsar really understand the Chinese people." Gribsky thought that he still knew the Chinese people very well, although the Qing army was unbearable, but it did not mean that the Chinese people were not good, and in a trance, he seemed to see Yue Zhenghui's disdainful expression.
……
Compared with the gloomy appearance on the side of Tsarist Russia, the morale of the Black Dragon Army and Fei Qing's troops was high, and as the first steamship was sunk, three minutes later, the second steamship on the outermost periphery was still devastated, and the hull was broken in half and floated on the river.
At the same time, Yue Qingjie and the second company finally rushed to the position of the Qing army at the dock, Fei Qing naturally greeted him in person, although he suffered a few shots, causing Fei Qing's face to be gray, but the smile on his face could not be hidden, and he smiled: "Haha, I finally look forward to all the heroes." ”
Although Fei Qing was enthusiastic, but time was pressing, Yue Qingjie didn't want to talk nonsense at all, nodded politely, and said bluntly: "Fei Biaotong, don't talk about unnecessary nonsense, our young master said it, time waits for no one, if you can trust us, then I hope you can quickly give up the position closest to the dock." ”
Regarding Yue Qingjie's attitude, although Fei Qing was unhappy, he was accustomed to it, and he also knew that if this battle wanted to end perfectly, it must be fast, and the old Maozi on the other side of the river had not yet reacted, and the battle was over, only in this way could the old Maozi of Tsarist Russia and this regiment be completely annihilated, and at the same time, it could also greatly deter the other party, so that they did not dare to start the war again.
"This brother is right, time is precious, so please enter the position."
"Brothers, quick."
"The third and fourth platoons suppressed the fire, and the first and second platoons followed me and prepared to throw grenades."
"Yes."
The nearest position on the dock was less than 30 meters away from the two steamships docked in Tsarist Russia, Yue Qingjie personally rushed up with two platoons resisting ten boxes of grenades, ten boxes of grenades, thirty in each box, a total of 300 grenades, even if only one percent of the grenades fell into the two steamers, it was enough to blow up the old hairs on the steamers.
"The commander said, don't save him grenades, throw them out for me, let these **** old hairymen taste the grenade rain."
"Yes."
Da-da-da-da!
A total of five Makqin heavy machine guns and more than 20 Madsen light machine guns rang out at the same time, instantly suppressing the fire on the two steamers, and the old hairmen couldn't even lift their heads, at this moment, the overwhelming grenades flew towards the two steamers without money, and more than 60 brothers, each with five grenades, were thrown out in 30 seconds.
"Ah, damn it, jump ship."
Thundered!
The fierce explosion sound was endless, even Yue Qingjie and the others were temporarily deaf, they couldn't hear anything, only to see the two steamers were instantly submerged by the fierce explosion, and the old Maozi on it was instantly blown apart, and it was really shattered, even those old Maozi who were lucky enough to jump into the black water could not be spared, because at least half of the grenades exploded around the steamer, and it is conceivable what their fate was, of course, it was much better than staying on the ship.
And when Yue Qingjie took the second company and completely wiped out the old Maozi on the two steamers with grenades, the third salvo of the Su Sangun finally came again, although because the fireship was too close to the shore, the Su Sangun was in the way, so that only two shells hit, and the steamer was not sunk, but it also frightened the old Maozi on it and directly erected a white flag.
"What the hell put up a white flag, now what?"
This question was asked in the mouths of several company commanders of the Black Dragon Army almost at the same time, this matter is a bit tricky, Yue Weihua's request is not to stay, to fight quickly, and to annihilate everything, but now in front of everyone, people have erected a white flag, how should this be?
At this time, Yue Weihua happened not to be on the position, but on the way to the freighter area of the wharf, and the battle there was about to end, Yue Weihua was ready to use the second space of the Merit Pagoda to directly take the two freighters away with the cargo.
However, before Yue Weiyun and several other company commanders could react, they found that there was a roar-like roar from the fort on the other side of the dock, and in the blink of an eye, a violent explosion was heard in the dock, and the sound shook the sky, which was the effect that only super-large caliber shore defense guns could cause, and its power was not comparable to ordinary field artillery.
There is no doubt that Lao Maozi has been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, and when they found that the two steamships on the shore of the pier had been completely destroyed, Gribsky finally gave the order to bombard, and at the same time, five or six gunboats quickly sailed out of the harbor, their targets were undoubtedly the steamer with the white flag on the river, and the soldiers who were waiting for rescue on the river.
"Evacuate, evacuate all of them for me."
Yue Qingjie issued an order to retreat as soon as possible, Yue Weihua had already expected this, as long as the old Maozi on these two steamers was killed, Lao Maozi would definitely be anxious, they would definitely carry out artillery bombardment, and even retaliate to destroy all the buildings on the Heihetun Wharf and raze them to the ground.
"Withdraw."
"Withdraw."
"Withdraw."
The first company located on the east side of the pier, the fourth company on the west side, and the sniper companies lurking in various parts of the pier, all broke away from their positions as soon as possible under the orders of their respective company commanders and quickly retreated to the predetermined location.
At this time, Yue Weihua had just arrived at the freighter area of the wharf, and was helplessly looking at the cannonballs whistling on the other side, and secretly prayed psychologically, hoping that Yue Qingjie's second company could kill a few fewer people, after all, in the face of the other party's indiscriminate shelling, whether he could survive or not could almost only rely on luck, of course, before the war, Yue Qingjie stepped on the point carefully, and should be able to choose the safest retreat route.
As for the 1st Company, 4th Company, and Sniper Company, there is no need to worry, they should be able to withdraw from the position unscathed, after all, they have repeatedly told them that as long as the enemy's artillery sounds, they must withdraw from the position as soon as possible and arrive at the predetermined place to assemble.
On the contrary, Yue Weihua's current position should be said to be the safest place in the entire dock area, because Lao Maozi didn't want to destroy these two ships of supplies, so for Yue Weihua and the brothers in the reconnaissance company, this place was indeed very safe.
"Nie Youcai, have the two freighters been cleared?"
Yue Weihua asked again, because if you want to put these two freighters into the Meritorious Tower, then there must be no living creatures in the freighter, which is very important, of course, it doesn't matter if there are ants and insects, the main thing is that there can't be living people, or relatively large cattle, sheep and horses.
"Report to the commander, I have asked the brothers to carefully check it three times, not to mention living people, that is, there are no living rats." Nie Youcai replied affirmatively.
"Very good, now leave the freighter with all the brothers, quickly leave the Heihetun wharf, and go to the predetermined place to gather." Yue Weihua immediately ordered.
Because as long as Yue Weihua puts away these two freighters, Lao Maozi will definitely find out as soon as possible, although I don't know what Lao Maozi's reaction will be, but the cannonballs will hit this side for sure.
"Now, Commander, let's wait on this side of the docks, just so that everyone can take a closer look at your magical methods, right?" Nie Youcai said cheekily.
Yue Weihua knew that in fact, Nie Youcai wanted to see miracles on the one hand, but more importantly, they were worried about their own safety, after all, the entire Black Dragon Army regarded the reconnaissance company as Yue Weihua's guard, so he had to nod and said with a slight smile: "Then you have to stare at the balls of your eyes, don't see nothing." ”
