269 Double-line ambush
Lin Yuan carefully designed the time, so when the Russian fleet sailed into the ambush circle, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the river was already dark at this time, and the Russian ships had their headlights on, illuminating the waters a kilometer away in front of them as bright as day.
Yu Ming looked at the Russian ship, and secretly sneered in his heart: "Fortunately, you turned on the lights, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see you." Yu Ming ordered: "Hit the last boat first." ”
The Russian army sent 20 transport ships, 15 to transport personnel, 5 to transport equipment, and two gunboats, one in front of the other, escorting 20 transport ships, and the last one happened to be a gunboat.
Yu Ming brought twenty guns, one at a distance of 100 meters, which was exactly the interval between the Russian ships, these guns were not only 200 meters away from the river, and it was enough to use direct aiming at this distance, and the gunner loaded a 200-meter ruler and put the Russian gunboats into the crosshairs, and then fired the artillery.
The muzzle of the cannon flashed, and a shell whistled out of the muzzle, this shell was not a tracer shell, so it quickly disappeared into the night, and the bombardier standing on the side hurriedly rushed up with a soaked quilt, and covered the quilt on the muzzle, and the smoke suddenly became much smaller.
The gunner didn't have time to see the movements of the bombardier, he anxiously looked into the distance, looking for the impact point, and soon in the bow of the Russian gunboat, a spark was raised, the shell drilled into the bow, the shell was loaded with a delayed fuse, so it exploded in the hull, the Russian gunboat was made of steel skeleton, wood made of outer panels, the violent explosion blew up the keel in the middle and longitudinal keel.
Although the Russian troops on the ship knew that the cannon was shot, they did not know where the cannon came from, because the bombardier covered the muzzle with a quilt, so the smoke from the muzzle was not obvious, and the gunboat hurriedly turned the muzzle to return fire, but in the vast night, where to shoot? The gunner had no choice but to find a general direction and fire indiscriminately.
When the gunner saw that he had hit the target, he silently shouted "yes" in his heart, and glanced at the landing point of the Russian shell, which was 108,000 miles away from him, he ignored the Russian cannon, he opened the bolt, and the smoking cartridge fell out, and the bombardier put another shell into the barrel, and then another shell, this shell was in the stern of the ship, and happened to blow up the rudder post, but the Russian gunboat was installed with a suspended rudder, and the rudder was broken, and the rudder fell directly into the river, and the trace was missing. For the ship, the rudder is not only a steering tool, but also a tool to stabilize the course, without the rudder, the gunboat suddenly turned in a circle on the river, even if it saw the target, it could not fire.
The sound of the first cannon was the signal, and then the other guns on the riverside opened fire, and the shells were smashed towards the transport ship in the darkness of the night. The transport ships are all converted from passenger ships, in order to be able to carry more people, almost every corner of the ship is stuffed with people, as soon as the shells come, they explode in the crowd, and the Russian soldiers suddenly suffer heavy casualties, as well as the transport ships loaded with equipment, they are loaded with a large number of explosives and shells, and a few shells come down and they are detonated. Lin Yuan originally thought that the Russian ships would flee forward, but he didn't expect that none of them would increase their horsepower and run forward, but they turned around and ran back, what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that the commander of the Russian gunboat at the front thought like this: If you go forward, it will definitely be an encirclement, and you can't run away, so you can only turn around and run back, so driven by the gunboats led by the leader, the ships in the fleet turned around and ran back.
The turning radius of the heavy transport ship is much larger than that of the light gunboat, so when the gunboat turned its head, the transport ship was still moving forward, and hit the gunboat's side of the gunboat, which was covered with wooden planks on the steel skeleton, which broke the steel skeleton at this time, and the wooden planks shattered in a large piece, and the river happily poured into the hull, and the cannonballs in the gunboat fell into the river like dumplings, and the gunboat quickly sank.
The rate of fire of the artillery on the shore was not fast, so there were still ten ships that turned around and sailed back, Yu Ming smiled secretly in his heart: "Can you run?" Sure enough, the transport ship running in front hit the iron cable, and the iron cable immediately stopped the boat to death, originally the Russian army was separated by 100 meters between every two ships when the ship was moving, this distance can prevent accidental collisions, but the Russian transport ships in the panic wanted to escape from the encirclement as soon as possible, no one cared about the distance of the ship, as soon as the ship in front hit the iron cable, the boat behind "bang", and the two ships collided together.
The boat behind hurriedly reversed, wanting to retreat, but the steel skeleton was twisted and entangled after being deformed, and they couldn't be separated, the front ship blamed the rear ship for being too close, and the rear boat blamed the front ship for suddenly stopping, and the Russian troops on the two ships then scolded each other, and Yu Ming on the shore could clearly hear their scolding.
The surviving Russian transport ships were piled up on the edge of the iron cable, and Yu Ming commanded the artillery to name them one by one, and by dawn, 22 Russian ships had sunk to the bottom of the river......
For the Russian army, this was only the beginning of the disaster, as another of their support forces was also ambushed.
After Lin Yuan gave orders to Liu Hui and Yu Ming, he asked Chen Fei to lead a force of 2,000 people to set up an ambush in the area of Pingdingshan.
The Russian army did not have the slightest preparation for this, because they did not believe that they would be ambushed, in this era when there was no aerial reconnaissance and no satellites, if a unit was ambushed by someone else, there was only one possibility, there was a spy inside, because the marching route of the troops was kept secret, and the route was revealed to the enemy, who else was not a spy?
However, Lin Yuan had advanced aviation reconnaissance power in his hands, and he originally thought that the Russian army would take the big road, so there would be no way to ambush it, but he didn't expect that the Russian army actually chose to march from the mountains near Pingdingshan, and it was a valley, and this fighter Lin Yuan could not miss it.
Passing through the valley can save a long distance, which is also the main reason why the Russian army chose to march from here, Grogerko's wishful thinking is like this, Lin Yuan's strength is only about 6,000, there are more than 5,000 Russian troops in the city with three surnames, and the Russian troops of these two brigades add up to nearly 10,000 people, so that Lin Yuan has formed a superior force, and he will definitely be able to annihilate Lin Yuan under the city of the three surnames!
Chen Fei led more than 2,000 people, deployed on both sides of the valley, all of them camouflaged with blades of grass, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Russian army.
Finally heard the footsteps of the Russian army, nearly 10,000 Russian troops, the infantry in front, the baggage in the center, and the cavalry in the back, walking towards the valley, the valley is getting narrower and narrower, and there is no place on the road where the potholes are smooth, and when the Russian army arrives here, they have to slow down and walk carefully, and they will fall if they are not careful.
At this moment, there was a thunderous "click" in the sky, and the raindrops of beans fell, Chen Fei was happy in his heart, it was raining, and the Russian army just wanted to pass through the valley as soon as possible, and it would definitely relax its guard.
I saw that the Russian soldiers below took out raincoats from their backpacks and put them on with their hands and feet, Chen Fei saw it, and thought to himself: "It's better this way, the raincoats are very wide, especially the hats attached to the clothes, and after wearing them, they block the view to both sides." ”
Chen Fei watched the Russian soldiers walk into the ambush circle, but suddenly shouted in his heart: "Not good! Because of this heavy rain, something big may happen! ”
