"Hmm!" Zhu Xi glared at him, "I didn't mention it, but there will definitely be, this afternoon, didn't he send us a lot of weapons and food, I guess the boss means that he will have a good fight with the other party later, and then he will withdraw!" ”

"Don't be so fake, fight and then withdraw? In case Wu Peifu catches up, it will be miserable! Lu Zhuoan said worriedly.

"Since you're afraid that Wu Peifu will follow, why are you still staying here?" Zhu Xi patted Lu Zhuo'an on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go to the forward position, just arrange the route when you retreat." The boss sent a lot of mines this time, and left some supper for that Wu Dashuai at that time, so that they could have a good taste. ”

"Wu Dashuai is here!" A recruit lay down in the trench where he had been hiding all day, his head shrunk and shouted loudly.

"What are you yelling about! Did you see that? "A veteran lay in a dry place outside the trenches, squinting his eyes and looking at the bright moon in the sky, where the terrain was high, and as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black in front of the position, and there was nothing.

"It was the battalion commander who said it, and the battalion commander said that Boss Zhao asked us to retreat, but Wu Dashuai would not let us go lightly!" The recruit was yelled at by the veteran and whispered.

A wrinkled veteran next to him sighed and turned around, "Look, look, those who sent reinforcements have all gone to the front line." These people are the boss's descendants! Although there are only more than 100 people, they are also descendants! The boss is willing to let his descendants die? ”

"But the battalion commander said ......"

"Battalion commander? Hehehe, there is only a descendant line these days, but there is no such thing as a chief, even if he is a chief, as long as he is not a descendant, it is for nothing! The veteran said with a smile.

The recruit choked for a moment, rolled over and stood up, just about to poke his head out and look into the distance, "Bah! A gunshot rang out.

The silence on the position has been broken.

The musketeers in the camp carried out Zhao Yun's orders very well, and opened fire as soon as they saw the direct army entering the firing range.

Almost the moment the recruit was probed, the bullet had already entered the head of a direct soldier. Although he was not at the forefront of the charging team, the dense bullets still cleared a large area of the position he was standing on.

Even sniper scopes were useless, and within the range of the MLEMkI rifle, the huge impact of the bullets caused a lot of damage in the charging team at once.

The actual lethal effect of this method of indirect salvo is not very good, but more of a suppressive and disruptive effect.

Because Zhao Yun completely controlled the sky, under the attack of the planes, the direct army, whether it was Wu Peifu or Qi Dujun, crossed the river in a hurry, and just established themselves, and the heavy weapons did not have time to be transported, and the only ones were also bombed by the planes and turned into parts. Therefore, just in the face of this round of over-the-horizon shooting, the direct army does not have a good defense method.

However, in the face of this invisible blow, the direct troops who were shot only slightly froze the pace of the charge, but a large number of direct troops were still driven by the law enforcement team and rushed towards the position.

However, the musketeers used a double-row magazine of 10 rounds, and before the direct army could rely on their courage and get close to a distance of 2,000 meters, they were again fired into a hornet's nest by rows of continuous bullets.

"Cannon, cannon, hurry up and fire the cannon!" The officer leading the team shouted and fell to the ground.

"Get down! Get down! This has become the only voice in the direct army now.

"Boom!" A bomb landed on the front of the trenches of Jushi's army, giving off a fresh earthy smell with the smell of gunfire. This is also one of the few artillery pieces in the direct army, and more artillery pieces were bombed into the river by Zhao Yun's plane when they crossed the river.

The continuous shelling of "boom boom" made the musketeers have to pause their firing and slowly retreat back.

"Get up, those guys retreat! Get up and hit the fuck! The officer leading the direct army didn't care about the grass clippings on his body, grabbed his pistol, brandished it, and drove the team to continue the charge.

But his next kick made his expression change, "Landmines!" This sentence is no longer said in a normal shout, and the voice has long become abnormal.

"Boom boom" continuous mines exploded, causing more chaos than killing in a dense direct army.

"Dududu" several proud British warships drove over, and the high muzzles of the guns showed the glory of the British Empire. But before they could get close to the river.

From the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, forty or fifty warships of the same style came densely, and the fluttering battle flag with red background and black border was clearly different from the Beiyang military flag. Behind them were even more dotted, and although they couldn't see clearly at night, they were clearly the ship's beacons for night sailing.

The stars, like the stars in the sky, decorate the Yangtze River as a land milky way.

"Gunboat?!" Not only the British were stunned, but even the surrounding direct navy was stunned. What is Zhao Yun, the rich man of the land, going to do? Where did he get so many gunboats, did he really want to fight with the British Empire?

"Is it the gunboat USS Whale?!" The British did not know the style of these gunboats, but the direct navy was different. The gunboat Lianjing, built by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai, was completed in 1911 at a cost of 350,000 yuan (115,500 taels). The ship is 173 feet long, 25 feet wide, 12.6 feet deep, 10 feet draft, iron hull, 500 tons of displacement, two coal-fired boilers and two reciprocating steam engines, 800 hp and a maximum speed of 13 knots. 18 crew officers and 76 non-commissioned officers; Equipped with two British 37 machine guns and two Dagu 7.9 machine guns. The ship's radio call sign is "XRC".

Due to the beautiful shape of the "Joint Whale" ship, it was designated as the seat ship of the Minister of the Navy when it was completed at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was often used as the seat of the head of state for patrols in the early Republic of China. It can be said to be a star battleship in the navy, so there are many people who recognize it. And the Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has long fallen into the hands of Zhao Yun, so copying this old battleship that was already more than ten years ago is within everyone's expectations, but after building so much in one go, I don't know if it shows that Zhao Yun is rich and rich, or if he is stupid and has a lot of money.

With so much money, it was possible to buy a battleship. This is the idea of many people in the direct navy, but when they think of their direct battleship, isn't it also provided by this Boss Zhao? Everyone was discouraged for a while, indeed Zhao Yun can be called the hero of the Huaxia Navy in a sense, if there is no Zhao Yun, the history of Huaxia without battleships does not know how long it will last!

You must know that in the 1920s, when it was still an era when it only recognized battleships and did not recognize aircraft carriers, a country did not even have a battleship, and it was embarrassing to say that it was a strong country, it would definitely laugh off its big teeth.

Therefore, as long as it is the navy in Huaxia, no matter the faction, they all have more or less respect for Zhao Yun!

But respect is in peacetime, at this moment can be in a hostile state, the direct Beiyang Navy does not care whether the other party is a whale ship, whether it is the Navy Minister's ship, they have turned their guns and are ready to beat this group of Zhao Navy who do not know the depths! The British, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, were even more elated and actively prepared for battle. Hitting the opponent's warship is much more interesting than hitting the immobile targets on the shore.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Just when the British and the direct navy were turning their guns, Nanjing City suddenly let out three loud roars!

The shell had an arc of 122 meters and a locomotive-like roar, and after 60 seconds, it fell less than 100 meters from the British battleship.

The waves of water caused by the explosion of the shells formed a huge cone shape and rose to an altitude of more than 300 meters.

"Gaba!" Not only the direct navy was stunned, but the British were also stunned.

The problem was that the opposing artillery observers seemed to be making corrections, and the three shells were closer than the British battleship.

The British heard the whistling of the shells as they landed, and felt the explosion getting closer and closer, and the rising waves of water washed over the deck, and felt as if the explosion was on their heads, and as the shells approached, their horror rose higher and higher.

"Cannon!" Needless to say, Zhao Yun reminded that both the British and the direct navy were shocked, this is definitely not a huge wave that can be caused by a caliber of 300 mm, and the caliber of the opponent's artillery is definitely above 400 mm. And judging from the rate of fire just now, the other side has more than one such artillery!

"The Chinese are such a strange people!" British Captain William muttered, "Damn, you have a cannon in your hand, so why didn't you use it a few days ago, if you took it out earlier, why did we Britons come here to play soy sauce?"

Although it seemed that the shells were approaching their warship one by one, the British did not worry about their safety at all. The British Empire is invincible! The British army is thinking this in their hearts at the moment, and of course, as their commander, Captain William has another thought in his heart.

This is clearly a demonstration by the Chinese people, and if we continue to consume here, then they will go to war with us. Although the British Empire is invincible, and Huaxia will definitely hand over the murderer afterwards, these warships under my command tonight are definitely dead.

Forget it, he can't take his life for some money, William thought about it for less than a minute and made a choice, "Inform the first mate, the whole army will go up the river and go to Anqing!" ”

The British walked away, leaving a group of direct navy staring at them, what kind of song is this?

The British are gone, what should Lao Tzu do? This is what the direct navy thinks about the most at the moment.

In front of artillery with a caliber of more than 400 mm, the direct navy can only be called a gadget, and hard resistance is a dead end, but if you retreat, then what will happen to Wu Peifu and Wu Dashuai, who has already crossed the river to prepare for the general attack?

A muffled "boom" came from the water under one of the surrounding gunboats, "Well, what's going on?" Li Jin's face sank and asked in a low voice.

As the head of the direct navy, Li Jin didn't think that anything good would happen at this fateful moment. That muffled sound, something must have happened.
