652 armored trucks

On February 10, 1900, Lin Fei gave an order to attack the various units of the Qing State and immediately began the next stage of the operation.

Lin Fei analyzed the defensive situation of the Qing army and found that the combat effectiveness of the Zhangzhidong division in Hunan was the strongest, so Lin Fei decided to adopt delaying tactics against the Zhangzhidong division in Hunan, that is, to place the troops on the border between Guizhou and Hunan, attract the attention of the Zhangzhidong division, and not launch an attack on the Zhangzhidong division.

The reason why Lin Fei did this was to defeat the Qing provinces except Hunan first, then isolate Zhang Zhidong's troops, and finally encircle and annihilate Zhangzhi's cave troops.

For the other four-way troops, Lin Fei decisively ordered to launch a fierce attack on the big cities where the Qing army was entrenched, and the four key points of the Qing army's defense, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Fuzhou and Guangzhou, ignited the flames of war at the same time.

From Shijiazhuang in the far north to Guangzhou in the south, spanning thousands of kilometers, the Chinese army launched simultaneous attacks on thousands of kilometers of front, which can be called a wonder in the history of warfare.

The army in the four directions, if the troops attacking Zhili are going the most smoothly, Zhili is Hebei Province in Lin Fei's era, located on the North China Plain, there are no natural dangers such as mountains, rivers and mountains to defend, so it is difficult for the Qing army to stop the Huaxia army.

More importantly, the army attacking Zhili was the Huaxia Tianjin Dispatch Army, and Lin Fei equipped all fifty trucks to this army, so that this army was like a tiger with wings, and the trucks were galloping on the vast plains, and as long as the Qing army dared to come out of the city, it would be surrounded by a roundabout and annihilated.

The Qing army stationed in Shijiazhuang was Yuan Shikai, and they also wanted to fight a field battle with the Huaxia army, but they were completely annihilated when they came out of Shijiazhuang, and the Huaxia army successfully took Shijiazhuang.

The attack on Shandong's Huaxia army was also quite smooth, originally Shandong had Mount Tai, Yimeng Mountain and other dangerous terrain, but the Qing Shandong governor Shen Baozhen did not know how to use these mountains and mountains at all, only knew to defend the city on the plain, Shen Baozhen ordered his elite Qing army to practice bravery, stick to Jinan City, and also mobilized more than 100,000 people to strengthen the Jinan city wall.

The 9th Division, which was responsible for attacking Shandong, was equipped with HP-3 105mm howitzers, and at this time, each division of the Huaxia Army had a super artillery regiment, which was equipped with this HP-3 artillery.

The 9th Division swung the HP-3 artillery under the city wall and fired at the city wall, but the reinforced city wall could not stop the shells of the Huaxia artillery, and it was quickly collapsed, and the Huaxia army then entered the city.

Although Shen Baozhen's military talent is average, he has a lot of tricks to deceive the people, he hyped up the brutality and inhumanity of the Huaxia army in the city, and really deceived some people who did not know the truth, these people were willing to follow the Qing army, and the Huaxia army fought street battles, but caused a lot of casualties to the Huaxia army.

Although the Battle of Jinan stumbled, there was still no danger, and the Huaxia Army finally conquered Jinan.

The troops attacking Fuzhou were the 8th Division of the Huaxia Army, Fuzhou was very close to Taiwan, and it was the strongest place for the "peaceful evolution" offensive in Huaxia, so the people of Fuzhou had the best impression of the Huaxia Army.

In this way, within a month of the launch of the campaign, on February 15, the Huaxia army broke through Shijiazhuang, on February 20, the Huaxia army broke through Jinan, and on February 27, the Huaxia army broke through Fuzhou, and the only city that was not breached was Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is the first place where the British began to operate, there are many British expatriates in the city, and the British also have an armed force of about 1,000 people in Guangzhou to protect the expatriates.

Sitting in Guangzhou is the Qing court Liangguang governor Tan Zhonglin, this person is a famous minister in the era of Lin Fei, quite talented, habitual strategy, Tan Zhonglin heard that the Chinese army is good at using heavy artillery to break through the city, so he came up with a countermeasure, Tan Zhonglin ordered the troops to build a large number of trenches behind the city wall, and then ambushed the troops in the trenches, these trenches are covered by the city wall, and the shells cannot hit them at all.

When the Huaxia army bombarded the city wall with heavy artillery, Tan Zhonglin's troops hid in the trenches and did not show up, and when the heavy artillery bombardment of the city by the Huaxia army ended, countless gaps were punched in the city wall, and the infantry rushed through the gaps to attack, Tan Zhonglin ordered the troops to attack and launch a counterattack against the Huaxia army.

Tan Zhonglin knew that the Qing army under his command was weak in combat, so he bought the British armed forces with a lot of money and asked the British armed forces to assist in the attack, and the British government was also interested in helping the Qing court, so he hinted to the British armed forces to help the Qing army.

The Huaxia army did not know that the Qing court had come up with such a trick, and launched an attack as before, blasting the city wall with HP-3 heavy artillery, and then rushing into the city, at this time Tan Zhonglin's troops rushed out, using rifle volleys, firing a dense rain of bullets, killing a large part of the Huaxia army.

Tan Zhonglin's troops then rushed out of the trenches and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Huaxia army, the Qing army was numerous, and with the assistance of the British armed forces, the hand-to-hand combat did not fall behind, and the Huaxia army suffered a lot of losses, and failed to conquer the city of Guangzhou.

The unit attacking Guangzhou was the 1st Division of the First Group Army of the Huaxia Army, and the commander was Lin Fei's confidant Niu Dalong, who saw that the other troops were fighting well, but he was the only one who was suffocated and aggrieved, and he was so angry for a while that he couldn't wait to pick up his rifle and rush up by himself.

At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "Commander, Your Majesty has sent a brand new weapon, please go and receive it." ”

Niu Dalong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What brand new weapon, could it be a tank?" ”

Lin Fei once talked to his henchmen about the tank, and Lin Fei said that the tank is a kind of armored artillery vehicle that can move by itself, and the enemy's bullets can't penetrate it at all.

Niu Dalong hurriedly rushed out to look, only to find that the brand-new equipment sent by Lin Fei was not the tank he was talking about at all, but a truck.

Niu Dalong was very disappointed, shook his head and sighed: "I think it is some brand new equipment, it turns out to be a truck." ”

"Report to the army commander, this truck is not an ordinary truck, Your Majesty said, this is an armored truck, covered with armor all over the body, very strong, it is a sharp weapon for us to break through the city of Guangzhou."

It turned out that Lin Fei saw that Diesel could not be put into production for a while and a half, and the production of tanks was far away, so he decided to adopt a compromise method to produce a type of armored truck for attacking fortifications.

This type of armored truck, which is modified on the basis of the original LCC-5-1 truck, can be regarded as an improved model of the LCC-5-1 truck, so this type of truck is called the "LCC-5-2" truck.

The truck was equipped with up to two tons of armor, all of which were composite armor, with a hard outer layer of chrome-plated steel and an inner layer of soft alloy steel.

The window glass is a part that is easy to kill, and at this time, Lin Fei was unable to make bulletproof glass, so Lin Fei used a steel bar grid as the defense of the window glass part, and a grid made of steel bars was placed on the outside of the window glass to minimize the probability of the bullet hitting the glass.

The wheels are also the part that is easy to kill, in the vehicles of Lin Fei's era, equipped with a central inflation system, this system ensures that the wheels are still full of gas when they are hit by bullets, and they can continue to move forward, but at this time Lin Fei does not have that kind of technology, because Lin Fei has adopted a compromise scheme, which is to install a steel sheath around the tire, and the bullet will hit the sheath when it flies, but will not hit the tire.

After the modification of the armored truck, there is no point in transporting personnel, because the number of people who can transport is very small, so the armored truck is positioned by Lin Fei as a "fortified fortress", on which the infantry can set up light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenadiers and other weapons to fire at the enemy.

After listening to the introduction of his subordinates, Niu Dalong realized that this type of armored truck was a rare treasure, so he ordered the troops to take the lead with armored trucks in the next attack.

There were a total of twenty armored trucks sent by Lin Fei, and at this time, the production speed of automobiles in the Chinese Empire had been greatly improved, from the original twenty per month to one hundred per month.

Niu Dalong's subordinates equipped each armored truck with a Makqin heavy machine gun and an HP-1 mortar, and killed them through the gap in the city wall.

The Qing army inside the city wall saw that the Huaxia army used something that could move on its own, and they were so frightened that they were about to flee, when the people of the British armed forces spoke: "The things of the Huaxia army are just cars, not monsters, don't be afraid." ”

Only then did the Qing army stabilize their minds, so they repeated the trick, first shooting a dense rain of bullets, and then rushing out to fight hand-to-hand combat, but this time they found that the dense rain of bullets seemed to be useless, and the bullets clanged on those cars, and they couldn't hurt the cars in the slightest.

Seeing that the bullets could not hit the car, the commander of the Qing army roared and jumped out of the trench and rushed to the armored truck, and the Qing army also rushed to the armored truck with a ghostly scream.

The Makqin heavy machine guns and mortars equipped with armored trucks finally waited for the opportunity to exert their power, and the bullets and shells were fired at the Qing army's formation, and the explosions were heard one after another in the army's formation, and the Qing army was killed in a large area, and the corpses of Qing soldiers were everywhere behind the city wall for a while.

Seeing that the armored truck was too powerful, the Qing army did not dare to continue to resist, turned around and fled, and the Qing army's city wall defense was wiped out for a while.

The Huaxia army in the distance saw that the Qing army was scattered, and immediately waved troops to cover it, and many British soldiers were still resisting stubbornly, but in front of the armored truck, their resistance was like a mantis arm as a car.

After the British soldiers resisted, they threw down their guns one after another, raised their hands and surrendered, and the red-eyed Chinese soldiers did not intend to capture the prisoners at all, and directly shot them one by one, killing all these British soldiers.

The Chinese army entered the city of Guangzhou, the Qing army was embarrassed and scattered, on March 1, the Chinese army finally fully occupied the city of Guangzhou, at this time the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor had fled to Xi'an, the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Shijiazhuang and Jinan were all captured by the Chinese army, so angry that she screamed angrily, spit blood, and was unconscious.
