Cai Guofang fell from the bed, his big dream is beautiful, not long ago he just received a sum of 1,000 taels of silver from a smuggler, which is already a huge amount of money for his 100-level officer. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Cai Guofang was born in martial arts, and his family background is not rich, but he has a good face and is generous, so he can hardly keep Yu Lu or something. In addition, he has to honor Shangguan and dredge the door, Cai Guofang is even more nervous.

The key is that this sum of silver is only the first amount of silver, and if the goods of the smuggling merchant can be transported from the south, then Cai Guofang can be given another balance of 1,000 taels of silver. He has been planning to buy a house in Tianjin City, and he has been chatting with the young man of the Baihua Pavilion for a while, and it just so happened that this time he redeemed it together, picked incense, and raised it in the house.

Although this is not the pinnacle of life, it is definitely a beautiful thing in the world.

It's just that his big dream hasn't been completely completed yet, and he just fell out of bed as soon as he did the section of "Merry Hundred Heads of Qinglou".

He was calmed down from his bed.

Cai Guofang, who is greedy for enjoyment, belongs to a disorderly person, obviously on the fort, he can also buy a small room for himself, which not only has a bed, but also tables and chairs, and even incense burners and paintings. Of course, this is not too out of line, Cai Guofang has done everything more powerful, and he has deducted the soldiers' salaries together with the generals and guerrillas of the military town, and Cai Guofang has also done it, but he has a low level, and he has little money in hand, and he has to meet his expectations, and he will pout when he thinks of this stubble.

"Isn't the earth dragon rolling?" Cai Guofang had already woken up, and no one could save him when God was angry, so he immediately wanted to run outside.

But then. The battery shook again. Not only did the shock make his legs numb this time. The fire and heat pouring in from outside the house made Cai Guofang wake up completely.

"It's shelling~!" This time, Cai Guofang's cold sweat came down.

He never thought that a place like Dagukou would be attacked, and my Qing Dynasty was a powerful country, and the army was mighty, and it was impossible for the small vassal states around it, such as Korea and Japan, to threaten Dagukou. Therefore, for a long time, the green battalion of Dagukou Military Town went up to the commander and down to the ordinary soldiers. All of them are slack, because no one thinks that there will be a war here!

Cai Guofang is still leading the troops, even if he is afraid to die at this moment, he has to judge the situation and see whether he should flee or fight. The roar and vibration continued, and Cai Guofang almost understood that the Dagukou Fort was about to end.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, I don't know when three warships came on the river. Shelling at us is like a Westerner's artillery. It's more fierce than our general's cannon, do you want to retreat temporarily? Cai Guofang's junior officer hurriedly greeted him, his face was already gray, and it was still blue against the firelight, obviously about to be frightened.

"Westerners' cannons? It's so raw, how can Westerners come to Dagukou? Cai Guofang couldn't figure it out.

Just when Cai Guofang couldn't figure it out, a huge noise and earth-shattering vibration came over there, and Cai Guofang and his adjutant almost stumbled, when they heard someone crying over there: "The Weizi Fort has collapsed, the Weizi Fort has collapsed!" ”

By the light of the fire, Cai Guofang could clearly see that the originally majestic mighty fort had turned into a piece of rubble in an instant, and the dozens of soldiers guarding the fort were all lifeless at the moment, either killed by the cannon directly, or buried under the collapsed fort.

"I can't fight, I can't fight this battle! Pegasus reported to the general soldier of Tianjin Town, the enemy is menacing, the ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, and my Dagukou fort cannot resist, so I quickly ask for help. Cai Guofang immediately judged the situation, he had no intention of guarding the fort at the moment, he was bent on himself, pay attention, he was going to Tianjin Town to ask for help in person.

Of course, the adjutant also wanted to run away, but he still dutifully mentioned, "My lord, if we go to ask for help like this, if we don't even know which country traitor the enemy is coming, I'm afraid we won't be able to say it in front of the chief soldier." ”

When Cai Guofang heard this, he felt that this was indeed the case, but he couldn't run to the gunboat that was firing with his life, and asked in a kind voice: "Lao Jia asks you, which piece of land are you mixed in?" ”

However, Cai Guofang also has a little wisdom, by the light of the fire, he can already roughly see the appearance of the ships that are firing fiercely over there, those ships are really not small, and they look like they have no sails, and they look like they are iron-shelled, Cai Guofang is not without eyesight, he said: "The only one who can build an iron-hulled sailless warship is Tang Yi in the world." Oh, yes, it must be Tang Yi, the emperor cut off their business affairs, this Tang Yi, who values profit and light righteousness, must be angry and angry, and raise troops to attack, yes, that's it! The military situation is urgent, and this officer must report it to the chief soldier as soon as possible! ”

Maybe it's Cai Guofang's luck, in such an artillery bombardment, someone has been blown off his hands and feet all the time, he took a few personal soldiers down the battery, and several guys have been blown up, and he just described it as a little embarrassed, but he didn't hurt a single hair. After getting off the fort, Cai Guofang didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately found a horse and fled like a fly.

The hundred generals who guarded the fort actually ran away, and the remaining Qing soldiers naturally had no intention of guarding it, in fact, they had no way to defend it, and no one dared to operate the fort for half a day to return fire on the gunboats on the White River. In fact, the fort can completely cover the surface of the Baihe River, otherwise it is useless to build it, but ordinary shells, gunpowder and other things are placed in the warehouse, the quality of the Qing soldiers is too poor, there have been explosion accidents before, and human lives have been disabled, and in the future, for safety, Shangguanmen will store these "dangerous goods", so that there is no gunpowder on the fort at all now.

Of course, even if there was gunpowder, these Qing soldiers did not dare to fight back against such a ferocious artillery fire, this was completely beyond their imagination, many of these green battalion soldiers had never even fired artillery in their lives, and even if they did, they had never seen the density of artillery bombardment like this.

The main general fled from the battle, and the morale of the army was completely discouraged. Originally, Hong Bao was still a little worried that if the battery counterattacked, it might hurt his new warship, but it seemed that the previous prediction of the staff was still very accurate, and the Qing soldiers were already rotten to the root in this era, and they could not pose any threat to them at all.

And it was at this time that the marines on the three naval ships began to operate the pulleys and lower the assault boats into the water, they unhooked the hooks, turned on the motors, and lowered their bodies as low as possible, although there was no artillery fire and bullets here, but they still carried out their tactical discipline well.

Hong Bao also saw this scene in the bridge, and couldn't help but praise: "Chang Bin, this kid, usually doesn't look very reliable, but the soldiers he brings are still quite good." ”

However, Hong Bao said quickly: "The number of commandos who came from the Qilian Mountain before was not enough, and they were scattered, so I couldn't see the road clearly." However, the Qing army has almost collapsed, and it should not cause too much trouble to the marines. ”

Hurry up, Wang Tao's assault boat of his class also smoothly merged into the team of other assault boats in the first battalion, Yang Youguang also lay on his stomach honestly, muttering: "I don't think I need to fight, just such an artillery method, there are no living people in that battery, there are not a few batteries in total, and they actually collapsed directly, this navy's artillery is really powerful." ”

Wang Tao stabbed Yang Youguang with the butt of the S8 light machine gun, and said: "Give me a little smart, maybe there are still some Qing soldiers on the shore who dare to resist, and when the time comes, they will be cold, and their lives will be their own." ”

Yang Youguang hurriedly said: "What the squad leader said is that we should be soldiers and fight, so we can't be too careful." ”

At this time, Luo Teng shouted: "Everyone is ready, rush to the beach!" ”

Like an arrow off the string, this assault boat galloped on the sea, and then jumped onto the beach, only to hear a few bangs, it really shook the young men above, the land at the mouth of the White River is mud and sand, the ground should be very soft, but these children are really unlucky, hit a gravel beach, this taste is really uncomfortable.

Wang Tao was the first to roll over from the boat, and looked around with a machine gun, "Pay attention to vigilance." ”

Several soldiers each with their guns, using the hull as a cover, also probed around, and the other assault boats in the vicinity also successfully washed the beach, and the soldiers slowly gathered, they did not meet any resistance, and no one was seen on the mudflats below the fort.

Wang Tao said: "Turn on the searchlight." ”

The other assault boats also turned on the searchlight, but the view here is too poor, everyone can not see clearly on the water, if you go ashore and can't see clearly, it is dead, although the searchlight may attract enemy fire, but in the case of no resistance at all, it is a wise choice to turn on the searchlight.

Luo Teng inspected their assault boat and said, "There is a hole in the bottom of the boat, and this ship is considered a scrap." ”

Wang Tao didn't care: "Anyway, it's not that we will compensate, go back and write a report, just say that the quality of the ship is not guaranteed, and the safety factor of beaching on hard ground is low, and ask the shipyard to rectify." ”

At this time, Wang Tao and his group had already run to a assembly point, which was the location of the headquarters of a battalion and a company, and the commander of the first company quickly gave Wang Tao a task to his squad: "Wang Tao, give your squad a task to take the No. 3 battery, and now it is not sure whether there is a stubborn enemy on it, so be careful." ”

Wang Tao saluted: "Leave it to us." ”

On the river beach, 200 marines carried out different tasks one after another, some attacked the fort, some guarded around the fort and captured the fleeing enemy, and some guarded the tidal flats, and sporadic gunfire rang out from time to time. Ten minutes later, the three battalions that landed from Beitang also came to respond, and the battle of Dagukou, which had no nutrition, came to an end. (To be continued.) )
