Shi Qiang wanted to ask again, but the artillery officer said anxiously: "Brother, don't ask again, let's attack quickly." ”

Shi Qiang and Meng Dongguo led the soldiers to pull the skirmish line to approach the trench, at the beginning the speed was very slow, bowed to the cat's waist, raised the gun to aim, and approached about 200 meters away from the trench, the gunfire above still rang out, but Shi Qiang quickly heard that these gunshots were much weaker than just now, indicating that there were a lot fewer people above.

Shi Qiang didn't dare to be careless, and led his subordinates to shoot back while speeding up approaching, and when he was about 100 meters away from the trench, there were still not many gunshots, Shi Qiang waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me..."

Shi Qiang led his subordinates to fight in the trenches, only to meet a few Spanish soldiers who resisted sporadically, Shi Qiang killed them one by one, only to find that the trenches were full of Spanish soldiers' corpses, these corpses were full of blood holes, and there were a lot of bloody stones scattered next to the corpses.

It turned out that the artillery officer was right, these Spanish soldiers were all killed by rubble, they couldn't imagine that rubble could kill people, so after the first explosion sounded, they all hid in the trenches and did not move, and when the explosions behind were densely sounded, they were too late to hide, and they were all killed.

Shi Qiang cleared the obstacles in the trenches and led his subordinates to continue to rush up, and the Spanish artillery in the gun emplacements basically ran out, leaving only a huge coastal defense heavy artillery.

Shi Qiang seized the shore defense heavy artillery, and the artillery officer walked up, patted on a cannon, and said with a smile: "Brothers, let's turn this shore defense heavy artillery at an angle and fire at the enemy." ”

As soon as Shi Qiang was about to ask how to turn, the artillery officer pointed to a handwheel under the gun body and said, "Push that handwheel to the left, it may be more difficult to push, and there will be a few more brothers." ”

The four soldiers walked over and pushed the handwheel together, the cannon body slowly rotated, and Shi Qiang took advantage of this time to ask: "Brother artillery, what is your name?" How could it be with the heavy artillery of the Spaniards. ”

The artillery officer replied: "My name is Luo Wei, and I used to be a gunsmith of the Arthur Battery, and the Spaniards' artillery is the same as that of the Arthur Battery, which is a 350-mm heavy gun produced by the German Krupp Company, so I will use it." ”

Shi Qiang said in surprise: "Lushun Fort? Was it the Arthur Fort that was knocked down by the Japanese? ”

Luo Wei said gloomily: "Alas, the Lushun Fort was not shot down by the Japanese, but we gave it to the Japanese... Do you know how difficult the Arthur Fort is to fight? Known to Westerners as 'Gibraltar of the Far East', Gibraltar is a fortified military fortress run by the British..."

"But the Qing court is too corrupt, from officers to soldiers, they only know how to smoke and sleep with women, and they don't train at all. As soon as the Japanese came, the officers and soldiers ran away, and the fort was occupied by the Japanese. ”

The ballistic table is a must-have for artillery shooting, and without the ballistic table, artillery can't aim, Luo Wei said that when he was sad, he didn't care if Shi Qiang could understand it, so he said everything, Shi Qiang then asked: "Why did you come to us?" ”

Luo Wei said: "Later, I heard from the merchant that there was a Chinese empire in Nanyang, so I came to defect. Luo Wei was talking when an arteryman came over and said, "Company commander, get ready." ”

Luo Wei took out an earbag-like thing from his arms, put it on his ear, and said to Shi Qiang: "Take your infantry brothers out, you don't have protective gear, and the sound of firing the cannon will damage your hearing." ”

Shi Qiang agreed, walked out, and halfway up the mountain, he heard a loud "boom" coming from overhead, and the whole ground trembled with the sound, he looked up and looked into the distance, only to see a column of smoke rising from the high ground in the distance, which was higher than the water column he saw on the sea.

The shell shot by Luo Wei happened to land on the No. 3 battery, where the commander-in-chief of the battery was stationed, he heard the explosion and did not realize that it was the cannon of his position that was taken away by the soldiers of the Huaxia Empire, but thought that it was the Huaxia Empire that moved the cannon up.

The commander-in-chief of the battery was surprised, another shell fell, this shell directly broke the rotating mechanism of a coastal defense heavy gun, at this time an artilleryman sensed the direction of this shell, and hurriedly reported to the commander-in-chief of the battery: "This shell seems to have come from the No. 4 battery." ”

The commander-in-chief of the battery panicked, because he knew that the fourth battery was in his parallel direction, and it was impossible for the shell to hit him by mistake, and now the shell fell on his position, and the only reasonable explanation was ...... Battery No. 4 was taken by the enemy, and now they turned their guns and began to fire at us.

The commander-in-chief of the battery hurriedly reported the news to Maxwell, who trembled with anger when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's only been a few minutes, how did the Chinese pigs take one of our batteries?" ”

Lin Fei's troops had not yet hit the No. 3 battery, so the commander-in-chief of the battery did not know Lin Fei's "killer feature", so he was speechless on the phone, Maxwell scolded fiercely, and then said: "Order the other batteries to hold the position firmly, as for the No. 4 battery, I will find a way to recapture it." ”

Maxwell put down the phone and called a staff officer and asked, "How are the reserves reinforcing the searchlight position going?" Have you completely annihilated the enemy? ”

The staff officer shook his head and said, "According to their latest report, there is none. ”

Maxwell frowned and said, "Why not?" Didn't it be reported that the number of Chinese pigs was small? ”

The staff officer said: "Although the number of those troops is small, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, so our troops can't defeat them for a while. ”

Maxwell said in a deep voice: "Inform them to leave a small part of the troops to clear up, and the other troops will immediately withdraw and recapture the No. 4 artillery position." ”

The staff officer hurriedly found a herald to convey the order, although Maxwell sent reinforcements, but his heart was panicked, because he didn't know how many of Lin Fei's troops had gone to the island and how they had captured the battery, and the commander-in-chief of the battery and the commander-in-chief of the coast guard could not provide him with accurate information.

Clausewitz, a famous Western military strategist and author of "On War", once put forward a theory...... The fog of war, Maxwell was in the middle of this fog at this time.

At this moment, the phone in front of Maxwell suddenly rang, and a staff officer reached out to pick up the microphone, only to hear the voice on the phone: "Commander, I am the commander-in-chief of the battery, and the No. 7 and No. 8 batteries have been captured by the enemy..."

The phone was loud, so Maxwell heard it too, he walked up to the phone in a few steps, snatched the microphone from the staff officer's hand, put it to his ear and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the commander, Lin Fei's troops used light artillery to shoot shells on the mountain wall, let the shells explode on the mountain wall, and the falling stones killed the soldiers, and they just laid the trench, and now their men have occupied the battery, and they will soon bombard us with the heavy artillery in our battery."

Maxwell's heart trembled suddenly, he knew the location of the No. 7 and No. 8 batteries, and he knew that these two batteries could strike at the surrounding batteries, which were equipped with heavy guns of more than 300 mm caliber, and the surrounding batteries would definitely be destroyed.

Maxwell hurriedly said to the commander-in-chief of the battery: "You come up with a defense method at once, and I will send reinforcements to support you." The commander-in-chief of the battery agreed to put down the phone, and then ordered the defenders of the eastern battery to enter the western battery and support it.

Maxwell dispatched troops here, and Lin Fei was not idle, and after the attacking troops laid down a battery, they would fire several green signal flares, the number of which was the same as the number of the battery, and these green signal flares could be observed by the Pangu ship, and the Pangu ship would report the news to Lin Fei, so Lin Fei already knew that his subordinates had captured the No. 4, No. 7 and No. 8 batteries.

Lin Fei picked up the microphone, contacted Wei Zelong, and said: "I'm Lin Fei, the brother troops have captured the No. 4, Turn, and No. 8 batteries, you immediately send people to land from the coast where the Turnkey and No. 8 batteries are defending." ”

Wei Zelong loudly agreed, and then sent the Fifth Regiment of the Second Brigade, because there was no threat of heavy artillery from the shore defense, this unit was on a high-speed, easy-to-detect steamboat, and the speed of the steamship was very fast, so the Fifth Regiment attacked the island in less than half an hour.

There were 1,260 people in a regiment of Lin Fei's troops, and so many people were thrown into the battlefield at once, which suddenly formed a considerable advantage, although the defenders of the eastern battery also entered the position to coordinate defense, but they still could not resist.

At 5:16 a.m., battery No. 1 was overcome, at 5:24 a.m., battery No. 5 was overcome, and at 5:35 a.m., battery number three was overcome, and the commander-in-chief of the battery fled to the command post on the east side of the island, at which point the frogman commandos broke away from the enemy entanglement and began to attack the east side of the island, and for Maxwell, who was in the fog of war, these attacks made him misjudge...... Lin Fei's troops have landed on the island on a large scale and have begun to attack the eastern side of the island.

Maxwell stared at the sand table, watching the small black flags on it keep increasing, and every time Lin Fei's troops hit a turret, Maxwell's staff officers would stick a small black flag on the model of the fort.

A staff officer approached Maxwell and whispered: "Commander, according to the information reported by the batteries, the Huaxia Empire has captured the No. 1, No. 3, No. 5, No. 7 and No. 8 batteries, and more troops are pouring into the island, and now they have begun to march to the east side of the island, it is definitely too late to ask Manila to send reinforcements, should we retreat?" ”

Maxwell's face flushed with anger, and he glared at the staff officer and said, "How can you retreat?" We still have one last chance to fight..."

The staff officer was stunned for a moment and asked, "A last chance to fight?" What is that? ”
