"They only have one battleship, how many guns can they have? Rush through this barrage. Victory is ours! "On the destroyer coming at high speed, such encouragement sounded from the loudspeaker of the mast.

At this point in the war, many Japanese no longer care whether this ship was the original target of the Haiqi, let alone whether it was a wooden warship.

There was only one battleship, and it was not the iron lump of a battleship, and the defense was obviously weak, which was obviously an opportunity to gain military merit.

The main guns on the bows of the two destroyers even began to bombard, preparing to take advantage of the rapid guerrilla attack and reap a share of the battle first.

Under the circumstance that the Japanese Navy has been unable to open up the situation for a long time in this surprise attack on the Chinese Navy, it is more valuable to be the first to obtain that combat exploit.

But unlike the military exploits expected by the officers, the Japanese sailors first felt the toughness of this Chinese battleship.

The Huaxia battleship obviously did not have the ability to attack from a distance, but its mission seemed to be to protect the close area of this fleet, and one after another torpedoes flew out of the dozen or so gun windows at the bottom of the ship's side, jumped into the sea, and fired more than 80 of them in one breath, making the Japanese troops who rushed to the sky busy.

"Yaga, don't they want money for their torpedoes?" The Japanese destroyer, which had finally broken through the shield of the Chinese torpedo, rushed to the vicinity of the wooden cruiser and could not help but exclaim again.

Their cries were accompanied by a screeching "whoosh!" and large puffs of white smoke mixed with orange-red flames poured out of the iron gun windows of the wooden cruisers.

The wooden giant ship was like a large firework tube, unleashing a flood of rockets in one breath, and the entire battleship was shrouded in soaring flames and exploding smoke, and the rockets fired with a scream, blooming all over the sky like fireworks and silver flowers.

As early as when he was arming the sailing ships in the inland river, Zhao Yun had the idea of building rocket artillery, and the power of the Katyusha rocket artillery in Soviet Russia in later generations made Zhao Yun drool when he thought about it.

It's a pity that it's one thing to see a pig running, and it's one thing to be able to eat pork. From the moment the large fireworks bombs were mounted on the sailboat, Zhao Yun began to prepare for rocket artillery early. After sending troops to Siberia, after capturing a large number of Soviet and Russian scientific and technological personnel and moving many scientific and technological colleges, the first thing Zhao Yun did was to order the development of rocket artillery.

In order to develop the core component of the rocket, the rocket engine, Zhao Yun divided the talents in all aspects into six departments, and one department overcame a difficulty. He also instructed him to visit Lai's mother, and he made an appointment to drink and drink and forgive

Rocket artillery, rocket artillery, it is said to be artillery, but in fact, its fame is all in the bombs. The development of rocket weapons in Soviet Russia can be traced back to the era of Tsarist Russia, after the outbreak of World War I, suffering from the lack of power of aircraft equipped with weapons, the Russians wanted to install high-power aviation weapons on aircraft. However, Tsarist fighters have always been ineffective, and the weight and recoil of large-caliber machine guns and cannons are too great to be installed on rudimentary Russian-made fighters. Clever Russian engineers thought of aviation rockets, but unfortunately they have not been implemented because of various restrictions, and after the time entered the era of Soviet Russia, the Soviet Russian top level noticed space rockets very early, and in 1921, the 2nd Central Special Design Bureau specializing in the development of rockets was established.

It was they who laid the foundation, and even after the appearance of a solid rocket that could fly 400 meters and a rocket with a range of 1,300 meters, the scientific research group based in Outer Mongolia overcame many difficulties through unremitting efforts and finally completed the development of rocket artillery after two years. Finally, a shipborne rocket with a caliber of 132 mm and a maximum range of 7900~8800 meters, as well as a portable rocket with a caliber of 107 mm and a maximum range of 8500 meters, were developed. Successfully developed, the production aspect was naturally handed over to the camp arsenal, as a kind of offensive weapon, the upgraded version of the ballista began to quickly equip the camp army under Zhao Yun's command.

Of course, this scientific research project, which went all out to gather talented people in Belarus and China, did not escape the attention of Britain and the United States, but under the banner of developing a new type of torpedo, Britain, the United States, and other countries, which knew that China had superstitious torpedo tactics, offered to help while sneering behind their backs, but by saying that they were developing a new type of torpedo, they finally confused the eyes of these powers.

The Japanese sailors did not expect the appearance of flying torpedoes, which made everyone on the battlefield stunned by the brilliant fireworks for a while. When they realized that these fireworks were not the fireworks set off during the festival, they all exclaimed and hurriedly dodged.

Zhao Yun released hundreds of rockets at one time, and under several rounds of salvo fire, the sky over the Japanese ship was full of rockets that were flying everywhere and fragments after the explosion of the rockets, and the Japanese could only hand over their fate to the goddess of luck.

Before the guns of the destroyer's anti-aircraft guns were raised, the Japanese ships were scrambled by the rush of rockets like a school of fish.

Accompanied by all kinds of noisy screams and scolding, and all kinds of orders to fill the rudder on the left and the right rudder, under the imminent attack of the rockets, the two Japanese ships still ended up with nowhere to escape, and they were inevitably poked into 17 or 8 holes by the rockets, and with the explosion became a beautiful background in the rain of rockets that bloomed like fireworks.

"That's the end of it?" Zhao Yun wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said regretfully, "There are only four of them, but it's not fun!" ”

In this naval battle, except for the last two destroyers, the rest of the encounters were within the calculation before the war. Whether it was a large-scale group attack of torpedoes, preventing enemy ships from approaching, or the appearance of rockets, it was all within Zhao Yun's expectations, but he didn't expect that before the latent submarine force was used, the four Japanese ships were sunk three times and one was injured. "Pack, pack, and get ready to meet the big meal that the Japanese have prepared for us!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yun turned around and exited the town center of the camp. The rest of the matter was naturally solved by Timur, and the Kumoto ship, the Nagara-class light cruiser was still floating at sea, under the guise of "studying" Japanese ships, so it had to be dragged to the Naval Academy in China as a sample, and then pulled out for display in the future.

When the Japanese received that a large number of warships in China were approaching the mouth of Dagu, they did not give up the navy of Kumoto, and sent a larger fleet with battleships to meet them. Therefore, after Timur cleaned up the battlefield, he had to pull the fleet out of the Bohai Sea and eat this delicious meal prepared by the Japanese on the Yellow Sea. Before eating, Zhao Yun turned his head and paid attention to the battle in Tongxian.

Forty sheep's head hammer siege vehicles, under the watchful eyes of the Japanese troops hiding everywhere, began a new round of forced demolition operations. The thick night gave the Japanese army cover and brought convenience to the attack.

The siege caravans were only responsible for smashing the walls, and behind them, hiding behind well-protected shields, the camp soldiers armed with spears and swords approached step by step. Aside from the foggy weather, conditions such as night do not interfere too much with the soldiers in the camp and affect their vision.

Behind the shields, the archers' hanging shots were ready to shoot at the Japanese troops who were hiding in the corners, ready to resist stubbornly. Even if some Japanese soldiers dodge well, they can't avoid the forced demolition of siege vehicles with small earthquake effects. Often, when the siege vehicle smashed down a wall, the building collapsed by the way, so the Japanese troops hiding in it were buried alive in piles of rubble.

As for the Japanese sharpshooters who occupied the commanding heights, the ballistae in the camp had already been aimed, and a crossbow bolt filled with gunpowder swept by, basically destroying the building and killing people. As for the consequences of destroying the city, in the case of pursuing the speed of destroying the enemy, damaging some flowers and plants was no longer in Zhao Yun's consideration.

The bullets fired from the machine guns splashed on the iron-clad wooden siege vehicles, and although the siege vehicles were primitive in structure, they could not smash these "big guys" without artillery, causing the Japanese to suffer more casualties. If the Japanese army pushed out the few remaining guns, the flames of the muzzles were equivalent to lighting torches in the dark night, beckoning the Chinese artillery to retaliate.

The siege engine is the camp's own product, and it doesn't cost much to produce one, and it is a sure deal to trade it for the Japanese artillery.

So in the second half of the night, the Japanese army, which had destroyed more than 20 siege vehicles in Huaxia, found that the number of siege vehicles in Huaxia had not only not decreased, but also with the expansion of the captured area, more siege vehicles poured into the city and began to be demolished everywhere, and the Japanese army's defensive area was further compressed.

As a commander, Asada didn't think about abandoning the city and breaking through, but after all, he was not fighting on his own soil, and all kinds of information needed to be collected first-hand and then analyzed.

All retreats need to be repeatedly reconnoitred to make sure that there is no ambush before they can act safely, otherwise they will step into the encirclement of the Huaxia people, and with the ant-like attack of the Huaxia people, Asada has no confidence to hold on until dawn.

Sure enough, with the feedback of the information from the various reconnaissance teams, Asada's heart finally pinched. The cavalry team that attacked Langfang had already driven outside the city and began to fortify. However, having the experience of dealing with Russian cavalry during the Russo-Japanese War, Asada was not worried about whether he could break through the encirclement of the cavalry.

What was a headache for Asada was that instead of fortifying outside the city gate, these cavalry chose an open field ten miles away, and arranged a formation in which the cavalry was lined up in the rear and a large number of cavalry guns were lined up in front, which disappointed Asada's hope that the machine guns would give the cavalry a lot of casualties. Although the old-fashioned cavalry cannon is also an antique weapon, it is a cannon after all, and the range still exceeds that of the machine gun, and perhaps the shells of these cavalry guns will be smashed before the Japanese troops who leave the city can arrange the machine gun positions to deal with the cavalry.
