Chapter 906: Occupy the dock
As a new round of gunfire rang out, the guerrillas who had just been exposed to the guns of the officers and soldiers were instantly knocked down by hundreds of people.
However, the good fortune of the officers and soldiers came to an end here.
The guerrillas who attacked them were all swordsmen and shields armed with cold weapons. However, the Haw Par Army was already heavily equipped with grenades, and everyone carried at least one on their backs.
In addition, the guerrillas were only twenty or so steps away from the officers and soldiers, and with a little force, they could throw grenades into the tight musket formations of the officers and troops......
The partisans, known for their cunning, certainly could not have forgotten such good equipment.
Taking advantage of the gap between the officers and soldiers to reload the muskets, the grenades emitting white smoke were quickly thrown out by the guerrillas.
On the pitch-black battlefield, the officers and soldiers, who were rapidly reloading their muskets, did not see or expect that the guerrillas would throw grenades at them, which were rarely equipped by sailors.
By the time they realized the danger, more than a hundred white smoke grenades had already reached their heads, or they were directly smashing around them......
In this case, they did not have time to react at all, and the grenade that landed exploded.
The scorching waves and flying fragments have directly become the best killer of harvesting life at this time.
Again, such an explosion is only the beginning.
The sight of the grenades instantly blew up the armies' musket arrays, and more and more guerrillas who rushed up began to throw out their own grenades.
After throwing, these guerrillas did not miss the best opportunity to charge.
With broadswords and spears, he roared and rushed towards the officer's musket array, which was still shrouded in explosions and fuss.
At this time, in fact, there is no need for the guerrillas to continue the offensive. The musketeers of the Thousand Sailors who stood in their way had already collapsed.
As long as it is human, it will be afraid of death. The officers and men of the naval division on the battlefield were no exception.
As more and more comrades were blown to the ground. Either he was killed directly, or he was blown up and lost his arm and leg...... In the face of the guerrillas' front and rear attacks, they were already close to collapse, and at this moment, they could no longer hold on.
No matter how much the commander of the Sailor threatened, they desperately dropped their weapons and fled for their lives around the battlefield.
Even more important is the collapse of this musketeer of the Thousand Sailors. Like a plague, it quickly spread to a thousand musketeers behind him.
The officers and soldiers, who were struggling to hold back the guerrilla musketeers, saw the collapse of the troops behind them, and their own reserves were completely exposed to the guerrillas.
A reality that appears directly in front of them......
Continue to hold on here, and it won't be long before the guerrillas behind them will surround themselves and finally wipe themselves out here.
In order to be able to continue to live, these musketeers immediately made a decision......
Since the dock can no longer be saved, the most important thing to do is to save your life.
Thereupon. This musketeer of the Thousand Sailors will immediately follow suit. Along with the rout behind him, he began to flee for his life......
When the two partisan detachments quickly converged, the grenade explosion area was completely encircled.
In the small encirclement, there were only the commanders of the water division and the henchmen of less than fifty people left.
Facing the dense guerrillas around you, facing the muzzles of black holes. The commander, who also did not want to die in battle, chose to surrender to the guerrillas very wisely.
Looking at the battlefield that was gradually quieting down in front of him, Captain Xiang Hu's heart was tense for half an hour, and finally calmed down.
After taking a deep breath, he decisively ordered: "First team, second team, third team...... Pick a few prisoners individually, occupy the three batteries on the dock, and control them, and no one can approach them without my orders......"
"The rest, follow me to the docks and take control of all the ships. Then clear the docks, light the flare, and welcome the landing of the main forces ......"
After the order was given, the battlefield, which had just quieted down, became lively again.
And the dock in front of you, tonight, is destined to be a sleepless night.
Because, at this moment, a large fleet is chopping the waves and driving towards the direction where the dock is located.
In order to catch the imperial court off guard, the imperial court was trapped in Nanjing City, and Chongzhen was not given any chance to escape.
For several days in a row, the fleet sailed on the sea dozens of miles away from the mainland.
It's fine during the day, but once it's night, it's pitch black......
Except for the sound of the waves crashing against the hull, there was no other sound around.
And just when Wang Feng was sticking to the command module, waiting for the exact landing news.
In the sky in the direction of land, a trace of red light suddenly appeared, and then, this trace of red light turned into a large ......
It turned out that to ensure that the signal could be seen by the sailors dozens of miles away, the guerrillas directly set fire to the three warships of the officers and soldiers who had just been captured.
As the warships were completely covered by the raging fire, the sky above the three warships was immediately illuminated red by the flames of three huge fireballs.
In this case, the fleet can see a large area of red light caused by the fireball reflecting on the sky even on the sea surface hundreds of miles away.
Sure enough, as soon as the red light appeared, the observer on the watchtower of the warship shouted with excitement on his face......
"Signal...... General, we received a signal of fire from the partisans......"
The fleet commander's face was happy, and he resolutely ordered: "What are you doing then...... The ship immediately turned around and leaned in to see if it was the signal of fire that we had agreed upon......"
As the fleet got closer and closer to the dock, the three fireballs appeared more and more clearly in front of Wang Feng and the others.
Seeing this, a smile also appeared on Wang Feng's pale face.
Facing the fleet commander beside him, he said excitedly, "It's finally here...... Finally able to land......"
More than a hundred warships, even at the dock of the imperial navy, could not all land in one night.
Because these warships were not only loaded with 30,000 soldiers and all the equipment of the First Army, but also with all the muskets and other supplies that could immediately form an army of 20,000......
Therefore, it took a day and a night for the huge fleet to send all the soldiers and equipment to the docks.
After a few hours of rest, Wang Feng also saw the guerrilla leader Xiang Hu who took the dock.
Looking at Xiang Hu with an excited face in front of him, Wang Feng, who was satisfied with the results achieved by the guerrillas, did not hesitate and took out an appointment document very refreshingly.
In front of Xiang Hu and all the division commanders of the First Army, he read out with a solemn face: "Captain Xiang, I believe that you should clearly remember the promise made to you by the headquarters of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... Now, it's time for the prince to fulfill his promise to you......"
"After the study and decision of the Haw Par Army General Staff, the guerrillas of the Xiang Hu Department were officially reorganized into the First Regiment of the First Independent Division of the Haw Par Army, with Xiang Hu as the commander of the ......" (to be continued......
