Mobile reading
"It's the sound of cannons, it's the sound of cannons! Coming from the Bataan Peninsula! ”
Zheng Cai hurriedly replied.
"Great, so to speak, it should be Xia Wanchun's elite cavalry has arrived on the Bataan Peninsula!"
Cha Xuan said excitedly, "Yu Gong, prepare to lead the Second Fleet to attack, launch an artillery bombardment on the Spanish batteries on the Bataan Peninsula, mobilize all our Heaven-class warships, take aim, and bombard me fiercely!" ”
Zheng Cai hurriedly agreed: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Zheng Cai hurriedly waved the command flag and began to assemble the battleships of the Second Fleet, but when the Second Fleet had just assembled and was about to march in the direction of the Bataan Peninsula, suddenly, the cannon sound of the Bataan Peninsula stopped!
What's going on?
Everyone was stunned, taking the fort so quickly? Impossible, even if the forces on the Bataan Peninsula are weak, it is impossible to end the battle in just half an hour, right? Could it be that Xia Wanchun's entire army was wiped out? It's even more impossible, the strong combat power of the Tianxiong Army's elite cavalry has even surpassed the Tianwei Army, and no one in the Ming Dynasty can beat it, how can it fail so quickly?
"Lord Ministry, look at this ......"
Zheng Haotian frowned and asked as he asked.
Cha Xuan's eyebrows twitched, and he said lightly: "It's okay, it is estimated that the Tianxiong Army'......s elite cavalry attack is not effective, Xia Wanchun was forced back by the fierce firepower of Spain, and is accumulating strength to attack again."
"Order Zheng Cai, stop the attack for the time being, Zhao Xin!"
Zhao Xin on the side hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Ministry! ”
"Immediately dispatched the special operations battalion, and ordered the second special operations battalion led by General Liu Yucheng to board the Second Fleet, and follow the Second Fleet to the Bataan Peninsula. Send an order to Zheng Cai, advance in the direction of the fort, and once the Bataan Peninsula launches an artillery battle again, order all the heaven-class warships and earth-class warships to enter the battle, storm the fort, and provide cover for Xia Wanchun! ”
Cha Xuan shouted in a deep voice.
Under the leadership of Liu Yucheng, the Second Special Operations Battalion boarded the battleships of the Second Fleet, and once a battalion of more than 500 officers and men boarded the fort, it would be enough to pose a fatal threat to the Spanish army in the current situation.
Soon Zheng Cai led the fleet to a position less than ten miles away from the Bataan Peninsula, and the sun was already setting at this time.
"General Liu, the water here is relatively urgent, why don't you send a boat to give you a ride?"
Above the sea, although the wind is not very strong, there are still waves, Zheng Cai was a little worried, and asked Liu Yucheng.
Liu Yucheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Zheng, a little wind and waves, don't get in the way, our special operations battalion is doing the work of armed swimming, just like sailors erecting boats, cavalry riding horses, Lord Zheng, the next official will leave, ten miles away, for us, that is, at most an hour's time, you also have to pay close attention to the war situation on the peninsula, today, hehe, we will take the Bataan Peninsula!" ”
Zheng Cai nodded solemnly, and watched Liu Yucheng and the others jump into the water one by one and swim into the distance.
For the officers and men of the special operations battalion, such a little waterway is really nothing, first swimming across the Yangtze River, and then swimming across the sea in Songjiang Prefecture, they spent nearly half of their time in the water, this water nature has long been proud of the world, and in less than an hour, the soldiers of the special operations battalion have arrived on the shore of the peninsula one after another.
Now on the fort, the Spanish army focused all their attention on the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army in the north and the fleet at sea, coupled with the shroud of night, there was no anomaly on the seaside at all. Liu Yucheng led the brothers to lie down in the pile of rocks on the side, rested for a while, just finished counting the number of people, and before he could order a raid, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, everyone was a veteran of the enemy, experienced, the sound of horses' hooves was like a muffled thunder, I knew that Xia Wanchun in the north had already started!
"Brothers, get to work, give the order, and rush towards the largest battery in the middle!"
This place is only three miles away from the Das Fort, for the soldiers of the special operations battalion, it is really a piece of cake, just a moment of time, more than 400 people have come to the bottom of the fort, the surrounding of the fort has been caught in the war again, the guns and cannons are roaring, shouting and killing The sound is shocking, obviously this time the assault, the Tianxiong army will never stop if the elite cavalry is not successful.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Almost at the same time as the cannon fire on the battery sounded, a dense cannon fire was also heard from the sea.
Zheng Cai's battleship stayed at a position less than ten miles away from the fort, and the sound of guns and cannons from the fort reached Zheng Cai's ears, Zheng Cai immediately ordered the battleship to advance in the direction of the fort, and the bow guns of ten Tian-class battleships and twenty earth-class battleships were all put into the battle, and the first wave of attack exceeded 100 rounds of flowering shells!
One by one, the shells fell on the fort, setting off a violent explosion in the fort, and even the special warfare officers under the fort felt a violent vibration, and their ears were hit by the sound wave of the explosion.
"I'm Cao!"
Liu Yucheng directly burst into a foul mouth, and shouted: "The order goes down, all cheer up Lao Tzu, he was killed and injured by the red-haired devil, we are still loyal to the country, we died as we deserved, and died under the shells of our own people, it is not worth it, be careful of the shells, climb up the steps, and directly take the Spaniards' nest from behind!" ”
Four hundred soldiers divided into two teams, along the steps began to break through, now the Spaniards have been completely panicked, such as today is dark, just to deal with the attack of the Ming cavalry is enough passive, at this time, the Ming fleet at sea is also engaged in the attack, the ferocious shelling, the battery exploded beyond recognition, the flames soared, a shell fell on the battery, exploded, it will blow up a big hole for the battery, if it is blown on the artillery, then unlucky, the artillery will definitely be scrapped!
"Order, immediately send an order, order each battery to launch a counterattack against the Ming fleet at sea, and counterattack with all your might!"
Bosque roared, "Damn, it's all this time, why is there no news from Manila, what the hell is going on!" ”
Now the battery is under the enemy, if Davis in Manila can't send reinforcements in time, the battery will definitely be lost, at least, it is impossible to completely guarantee that it is under its own control, he only has more than 2,000 troops, and it is too difficult to control several batteries, especially under the attack of other cavalry, it is even more difficult!
"Bang ......"
Just when Bosque was anxious, in the south, dense gunfire rang out from the left and right directions at the same time, like bursting beans, and a Ming army launched a fierce attack on the battery!
