Chapter 548: Overwhelming
Although Bao Luyang is only a brigade commander now, he is wearing the brand of a colonel, and he is now the leader of the second echelon commonly known in the army, especially from a professional class, known as the descendants of the five people in the Nirvana Army who defected to Li Yang, Cai Chaoyi, Bao Luyang, Meng Youtong, Mao Renxing, and Zhuang Yi.
Except for Zhuang Yi, who unfortunately died in battle, the other four people are now almost closely following Li Yang's earliest descendants, that is, those who are from the old Nirvana Regiment, and there are also a large number of people who want to call out to the chief when they see them!
Don't look at Cai Chaoyi and Meng Youtong This time he was promoted to rear admiral one step ahead of him, but he is not worried about falling behind at all, the navy is a big tree that is thriving, sooner or later it will compete with the army, and the development space will be much larger, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to rear admiral.
In the active duty sequence of the Navy, his ranking is even above the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Lin Mosheng!
The Marine Brigade is divided into six reinforced battalions, each of which has a strength of about 1,200 men.
In this battle, except for a reinforced platoon fixed to each battleship, all of them were on the transport ships, which were padded with rubber under the ships as shock absorbers and buffers, and fearlessly rushed directly to the beachhead.
"Quick! Quickly occupy Shanhaiguan City, all resistance, wipe out on the spot! We want time! ”
The subordinate units of the Marine Brigade are all reinforced units, and in fact, it should be more appropriate to call them squads, squadrons, and brigades, but they are used to the name of the squad platoon company, so that's it.
The requirement of the Marine Brigade is that each platoon and platoon have independent combat capability and coordinate operations with each other.
There were more than 70 people in a reinforced platoon, and the guns were also varied, including five or six half, eighty-one type, four zero fire, mortars, and heavy machine gun suppressive fire.
There are also specialized supplies, demomen, and medics, and each platoon can actually fight independently of logistics for a while, which is the standard unit on a battleship.
The blitzkrieg is the effect of the raid, the unexpected shelling hit the Shanhaiguan City is full of riots, and the chaos is blown up by the shelling, this is four o'clock in the morning, who would have thought that this is Hu someone raiding them?
Even the 5,000 defenders have become headless flies, and only more than 500 people on Shanhaiguan reacted quickly, but what can they do?
This is an attack from the sea, even though Shanhaiguan is magnificent and magnificent, known as the first pass in the world, but at this time it is also an ornament!
The enemy moved too fast, except for a few soldiers who entered the defensive position on their own without orders, there were more headless flies, and some soldiers even went down the pass with their weapons in their hands, looking for their own adults.
Under the rapid speed of the marines, in just over two hours, they were able to control all of Shanhaiguan, and in addition to killing about 700 recalcitrant resistants, the remaining 3,000 people who were not killed by the artillery became prisoners.
War is like that, no matter how elite you are, when one is chaotic and then you are vulnerable to another.
People are desperate for their lives, there will not be many people who give their lives knowing that they can't do anything, this Di family army can have 700 diehards among the 5,000 people, it is already a first-class strong army, even if the Nirvana army is surrounded and there is no hope for help, most of them will surrender.
The offensive launched at four o'clock in the morning changed owners before eight o'clock, and it has to be said that this blitzkrieg was successful.
Zheng Xiaobin's play of this kind of land-sea coordinated combat is getting smoother and smoother.
He didn't get off the ship, just let the three warships dock, and the rest of the warships were still floating on the sea, and the battle was over, not over, just a beginning.
The supreme commander of a Di family army who stayed in Shanhaiguan was a brigade commander, and he also led more than 300 people to carry it for an hour on a pass above Shanhaiguan, but because of the diversification of the attacks of the marines, he was stunned on the city wall, and when he woke up, he had been pressed to the Pangolin No. 1 ship and was trapped to death, he saw a young man standing in front of him, wearing a white admiral's uniform, sitting majestically on a large chair.
This young man is not like his words, and he is afraid that he will come out of his worries, but a shining gold star on his shoulder swayed in the sun, and he was in a trance.
"What's your name?" Zheng Xiaobin's guard asked coldly.
But this brigade commander was in a bit of a trance and didn't hear it.
"Splash water!" After the guard finished speaking coldly, a soldier prepared on the side splashed a bucket of cold seawater.
"Poof!" The brigade commander came to his senses in an instant.
"What's your name!"
"Wang Tingyan! Who are you! ”
"We'll ask you again!"
The guard was just about to speak, as soon as Zheng Xiaobin raised his hand, the guard stopped, Zheng Xiaobin said: "The Nirvana Army, that is, the Pingyang Army in your mouth, chose to fight with us, so even if you are far away in Shanhaiguan, you should have heard of it." ”
"Pingyang Army!" This man in his thirties named Wang Tingyan sounded the sail of the sea that could not be seen at a glance, and he felt a tremor in his heart!
Once upon a time, he thought that this was the army of the legendary Jijing!
These countless sails, countless artillery, is the Pingyang army they thought they could compete with as long as they were taken by surprise?
He instantly became desperate.
"I'll ask you if there's a problem." Zheng Xiaobin could see that as soon as the three words of Pingyang Army came out, the original look of resistance in this person's eyes instantly became dim.
This is a state of mourning and death.
Wang Tingyan nodded mechanically.
"Shanhaiguan has how many troops, how many people, how much food, and how much ordnance."
"There are 5,000 troops, 40,000 people, enough food to eat for three months, and the ordnance is only 5,000 people with one gun."
"From here along the coast, where do you know, the distribution of zombies, demons, and living defenders?"
"There are no zombies and demons, since then all the way to Xijin City, there are seven settlements of less than 10,000 people, three of the scale of about 40,000 people, and Xijin City, there are about 140,000 people, each garrison is only about a battalion of about 1,000 people, only Xijin City, maybe more than 5,000 people, I don't know the specifics."
Zheng Xiaobin nodded and said, "Take it down, collect all the guns and ammunition, replenish fresh water and food, and leave the rest for them." ”
When Wang Tingyan and the others were stayed, a captain asked, "Commander, what to do with those guns and ammunition?" ”
"In addition to the good guns are collected, and the broken guns are eliminated on the spot, we have to quickly go north and destroy their defenses, and when we reach Xijin and Linkou, I really want to see what kind of expression that bird Di Baiying is!" R1148
