Yang Haiwei is also gambling.

If Ito had made a concerted effort and rushed straight to the port regardless of it, and had opened fire with naval guns at a distance of less than three thousand meters, the entire coastal artillery position would have been defeated. There is no way, no matter how bad the battleship is, he still has a thick layer of armor, and the ground forces will inevitably be blinded.

Another key issue is that no matter how inferior the Japanese Navy is, after several wars, they can always grow somewhat. In particular, the coordination between the gun emplacements and squads is more skillful and steady, which will play an extremely important role in the battle.

On the other hand, there are a bunch of miscellaneous troops on his side, and the team that has been put together temporarily cannot do it like a finger after all. Once there is a disagreement or cowardice escapes, it is difficult to disperse.

But now, as soon as Ito retreats, it is tantamount to giving up the momentum of the entire Japanese Navy. It will be difficult for them to make up their minds to continue the impact next time, and this is the buffer time that Yang Haiwei urgently needs.

"In the final analysis, the Japanese Navy is still a group of cowards, and Ito's command ability is indeed average."

Yang Haiwei sneered disdainfully in his heart. If the Japanese Navy is as tenacious and crazy as the Army, it will be difficult to deal with. These British-educated "gentlemen" have not learned the spirit of the British Navy in never retreating lightly in battle.

Qiu Baoren, who risked staying in the front artillery command post, was greatly relieved to see the Japanese warship moving away, and shouted again and again: "It's so dangerous! It's dangerous! It's almost leaking! This Japanese is still almost hot, haha! ”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he stared at the Japanese ship struggling to get rid of the fireworks with bright eyes. Grabbed the phone and yelled, "Hit! Hit hard! Fuck this group of dogs' asses to rot! Damn, last time I tossed Lao Tzu's revenge on the sea, and this time I want to repay it in a bunch! ”

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the "Laiyuan Ship" was blown flat by a Japanese grenade, and the fire almost burned the ship to an empty shell. It almost killed him. If he only relied on that battleship, he probably wouldn't have a chance to retaliate in his life. Now you can vent and relieve your anger first!

The telephone leading to each gun position is very good, and it is also possible to call individually or in groups. The artillerymen who came down from the two battleships were holding back a lot of strength in their stomachs! Especially the "Zhenyuan", that is really the worst one. Almost finished. Today can be regarded as a big arrest!

"Hit! Hit hard! It's rare to put on a sharp cannon, and take out all the means you train on weekdays, and show the militia brothers to see our people in Beiyang. It's a battle that can be won. It's not a waste of incompetence! ”

The officers' hats were crooked. Standing behind the gun emplacement, he was screaming and screaming, what kind of danger or something. Let's put it aside.

Especially the first few cannons, high accuracy, fierce firepower, fast rate of fire, and strong power! Come up and take out a Japanese capital ship, all the artillery is extremely excited!

Seeing that the aim was in place, the officers shouted in a British accent: "Fire! ”

…… That's right, the Beiyang Navy is shouting passwords in British on the ship! It doesn't matter if you're an illiterate boilermaker or a gunner, this is a must.

Suddenly, there was a high smell on the position.

"Boom! Boom! ”

There was a dull explosion, a violent tremor, and pieces of smoke and dust that rose up, which were pushed away in both directions by the muzzle wind.

Among the Japanese ships fleeing from the wolf, the explosion took off, the fire shone brightly, and the bloom was particularly bright and dazzling under the reflection of the oriental clouds in the early morning.

Just three minutes later, the "Chiyoda" was hit by a special tail fin stabilized dìng shell, and the warhead that penetrated deep into the bottom of the deck exploded and penetrated the bottom plate, causing flooding and slowing down the speed of the ship.

The bulky "Itsukushima" camera was hit by multiple 152, 130 and 85 grenades, and although it was too far away to penetrate the armor, most of the hull was damaged as if it was about to be reheated. What's even worse is that the 320mm main gun, which will only bring drag, was actually injured by an unknown kind of shell, and it couldn't move at all!

From more than 8,000 meters to 10 kilometers from the right-turning rudder, those few minutes are like a century!

Ito's eyes were filled with countless explosions, and the rest of the scene was not clear at all.

There was only an endless roar in his ears, and his eardrums didn't know if they were deafening, but in short, he couldn't hear anything except the buzzing movement!

I don't know if it's because of their Amaterasu special favor, the battleship was almost blown to pieces, and the command tower where he was was never directly hit once. It was just that countless fragments formed large scars on the surface, and the battleship was the first to break out of the explosion zone under the drive of intact power.

Eleven kilometers away, Yang Haiwei ordered everyone to stop shooting.

Qiu Baoren was anxious: "I just beat the water dog, why do you want to stop?" ”

Yang Haiwei replied: "You can't force the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry!" If they are sure that they will not be able to escape, they will drive all the ships over, and they will surely rush into the harbor before we can sink them completely. When the time comes, the shelling of the shipyard will cause a fire, and our losses will be great! ”

Qiu Baoren was suddenly silent. He had seen the power of Shimose Gunpowder, that thing was too easy to cause a fire, and the shipyard was so large that it would be difficult to extinguish once it was triggered. The point is that the two battleships on the slipway can no longer withstand more damage.

He frustrated and shook his fist fiercely: "Damn! When the ship is repaired, I will come to you to settle accounts! ”

Another reason is that now is not the time to reveal all the range of the cannons. The Japanese ground forces have only just begun to attack, and the multi-faceted battlefield must be coordinated just right to obtain the maximum return with the minimum losses of their own side.

In the north, on the beachhead of Langyatai Bay, dozens of small boats are like busy ants, constantly sending infantry ashore from ships anchored in the sea two kilometers away.

Their efficiency is really not very high, from yesterday evening to now, without any interference, they have only completed the work of the 500 or so men of the cavalry brigade. This not only made the fleet stomp its feet in a hurry, but the first captain to set foot on the beachhead, Akiyama Yoshiko Shaosa, was even more dissatisfied.

From yesterday evening. He was among the first to land. And did not choose the more secure Guzhenkou fifteen kilometers away in the north, but took a very risky place that was only ten kilometers away from the battlefield.

The reason for this, in his own words, was: "Our horses have not been able to gallop for a distance of twenty kilometers in a row, and it is a waste of time to come from there!" As a swift, mobile, and blood-doomed cavalryman, facing the enemy head-on is the best option. ”

But when he landed ashore, his horse activity had been adjusted for the night, and in the morning he led a group of scouts out for a ride, and when he came back he exclaimed, "Which bastard chose the landing ground?!" Didn't they figure out how many rivers there were, and how muddy the beachhead was? ”

From the mouth of the ancient town to the line of the Jili River, a coastal area of 20 kilometers. It is precisely the area where the water network is unusually dense. To exaggerate. There is a fight with the Jiangnan Water Town, there is a river almost every kilometer, and the worst thing is that all the bridges have been destroyed.

And the beachhead where they came up was two kilometers underwater with deep silt. The ships did not dare to drive in at all.

went ashore. Across a mountain. To the south is the salt pan, and it's really muddy and reedy! Although there are a few trails that can be walked, but is it for small-scale smugglers and islands? A large number of troops, especially those with horses and artillery wagons. Walking such a path will kill people!

This can only be blamed for the lack of professionalism in the internal investigation they are looking for, no matter how shrewd Mu Hong is, he is just a junior officer turned island leader. What kind of geographical conditions are needed for the operation of the army, how can he figure it out as a semi-illiterate!

In one night, the cavalry brigade was finally unloaded.

The joint operations personnel of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Wing, who were worried, breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Thanks to our enemy not fortifying here, otherwise it would have been a big trouble." ”

Akiyama took a sip of wine, was spicy, and waved his whip very freely: "That's because they are smart enough!" When the long coastline is not defensive. The only way out is to tighten up on the ground. Now, now that you've landed ashore, it's time for the cavalry to move around! ”

"Huh?! However, shouldn't we be on guard for the time being, waiting for the main forces behind to catch up? ”

There is only one cavalry brigade and one infantry brigade here, but there are four infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and a baggage brigade at the entrance of the ancient town. Besides, they should at least wait until the sapper brigade finishes their work, right?

Akiyama shook his head: "The battle is more about the speed of seizing the opportunity. By the time we have completed our deployment, the enemy will probably have everything ready, and how long will it take to delay that? Let's let our cavalry try to see if their firepower is as sharp as the legend says! ”

All commanders with character are actually willful more often than not.

Akiyama was a man who drank during the march for a while, and although he looked like a generous and heroic samurai, from another point of view, he was more likely to do something unruly under the stimulus of alcohol.

For example, the Lushun massacre.

The use of a large army of divisions to attack a small county town and seize warships and industrial equipment was not at all honorable in his opinion.

The value of a soldier should be reflected in the slashing of the official army, can it be honorable to compete with a gang of militias?

So he wanted to end this farce as much as possible. Although he was only a cavalry captain, he did not prevent him, as the best of today's Japanese cavalry soldiers, a mentor, and a founder, from thinking independently, making free decisions, and making what he thought was the wisest choice.

Therefore, while the main force of the fleet was fleeing from the shore artillery bombardment by the wolf bèi on the sea, Akiyama Yoshiko led his entire cavalry brigade, slowly moving forward, while slowly approaching the battlefield of the two armies separated by two rivers.

"The devil brigade is here! It's still a cavalryman! That's a lot of people. Good guys, those high-headed horses can be worth a lot of money! ”

Kong Guanghan's head was steaming, his tongue licked his dry lips, and his eyes lit up, like a pervert seeing a little white sheep covered with only a layer of veil.

"How? Hungry? If you really like it, let's get a cavalry team out after a while and let you be the captain? ”

Yang Hao laughed and teased him, in the history of Chinese warfare for thousands of years, cavalry has been a symbol of strength in the eyes of infantry. Until the tank was installed, the relevant establishment was still preserved. Every general is proud to have a cavalry team under his command, and Lao Kong is naturally no exception.

Kong Guanghan rubbed his hands with a smile, and sighed regretfully at the end: "Forget it, it's good to play when we are free, the cavalry who are serious is still forgotten, washing and washing is like serving Lafayette, I can't stand it." ”

How difficult it is for horses to serve, you can know the cost. Basically, a cavalry force requires five or even ten times the cost of infantry, but is generally vulnerable to machine guns and automatic weapons. Officers who have been baptized by modern military concepts will not regard them as a magic weapon for victory.

Yang Hao patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Wait." One day, our power will expand, and the industry will be ready, and we will get you a set of armored reconnaissance vehicles, and then you will go out in a chariot, steel cannon, chariot, and a chariot, which will be much more majestic than that delicate horse. ”

Kong Guanghan was overjoyed at first, and then reacted: "At that time, I was still a reconnaissance platoon commander? Don't do it! ”

Yang Hao laughed, turned around and hurriedly conveyed the order. He knew that with the urgency of the Japanese army, the attack should not be far away.

The marines and a small number of engineers who landed yesterday evening rushed to repair the two bridges overnight to communicate the two sides of the river. Akiyama's cavalry brigade went unhindered and stopped on a ridge three kilometers away from the bank of the Jili River.

He rode up to the top of the slope, looked at the winding fortifications on the opposite bank, and praised sincerely: "Sure enough, it is not an ordinary person, and this kind of battle is a little fun!" Order to go down, rest for half an hour, and then, attack! (To be continued......)

PS: ps: Today is the public memorial day of the Nanjing Massacre, and we can't take revenge on the enemy on the battlefield like our ancestors, so we have to yy in the text and talk about comfort. The past does not forget the teacher of the future, I hope everyone will not forget the blood feud, and blood will be needed to wash it away.

Thank you for the book friend e-network unpreceding monthly pass! Thanks for the tip!
