Chapter 547: Copying the Back Road
Since getting the news that the Nirvana army in Pingyang has been pulled out, Di Baiying has begun to uncharacteristically, squatting in the warehouse and not coming out, he is constantly copying the shells of the 155 caliber howitzers found in the warehouse in the northeast!
He learned from the mouths of countless surrendered troops that there was a division of artillery in Pingyang, not a light mortar that could only hit one or two kilometers like his mortar battalion, but a heavy artillery that covered more than ten kilometers.
He was not with the army garrison at the time of the cataclysm, so he never encountered artillery, even mortars and rifles because of a small army near the Baoshan settlement, they could get guns, and he could copy them with his abilities.
Originally, there were always two divisions of heavy artillery in the Northeast, but now there is only a little more than one regiment, thirty 155 mm caliber howitzers, it's not that he doesn't want to copy these heavy artillery, but although he is a second-order ability, he can copy up to two heavy artillery pieces a day, and there are not many shells left in the Northeast now, if he is single-mindedly copying heavy artillery, even if there is an artillery division?
He's not so little shell? It is better to copy more shells, as long as the artillery positions are held to the death, an artillery regiment has enough shells, and it can also shoot the firepower of an artillery division.
His current ability, if he copied all of this shells, it would be no problem to copy about 100 shells a day, as long as it took time, he would be able to store enough shells for a battle.
And the Nirvana Army's side? Even if you have horses, how many can you have? I can't pull an artillery division over, and there are not necessarily many more shells than them.
It's not certain who will lose or win in a fight.
Di Baiying has made up his mind that the battle with Pingyang must be fought in any way, this battle let Pingyang know that they are not soft persimmons, let their arrogance disappear completely, what kind of cavalry division commander Tuo Yan Shuangyue passed the message, let himself prove it with practical actions, that is a joke!
As long as he bears this for a while, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Northeast!
Survive this winter.
He believed that even if he didn't want the 100,000 recruits, with his more than 40,000 Di Jiajun old foundations, it would be no problem to just passively defend and defend against the 100,000 troops of the Pingyang Army.
The high walls of the northeast city are thick, and it is not something that ordinary people say can be beaten down.
The cavalry under his command was slashed by Wang Hong's cavalry more than a hundred horses, and the rest of the reconnaissance range was narrowed as long as the Pingyang army was hung from afar.
The Nirvana Army, that is, the Pingyang Army that Di Jiajun has always called the habitual Pingyang Army, camped in an abandoned town seventy kilometers northeast of the Northeast Headquarters, looking not in a hurry to move forward, which made Di Baiying puzzled.
It's October 17th. If you don't launch an offensive at this time, will it be true that you will wait until the snow falls before you start fighting?
You know, the temperature has dropped now, a few degrees above zero and even in the early morning, there are temperatures below zero, and now it is actually winter, and there will be snow at any time, why aren't these Pingyang troops in a hurry?
When the snow closed the road, their supplies could not be transported.
However, Di Baiying sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and every day was to consolidate the city defense, train new soldiers, and concentrate on copying his shells.
Without a single day of delay, a hundred more heavy artillery pieces will fall on your heads!
But what he didn't know was that on 19 October, 14 naval warships that had been sailing south along the monsoon appeared on the sea surface of Shanhaiguan City.
Shanhaiguan City is the western gateway of Dijiajun, surrounded by mountains, the ancient Great Wall of China extends all the way to the mouth of the green water along the mountain range, wrapping the entire corridor of western Liaoning.
In such an important place, Di Jiajun left five battalions here to defend, and there are only more than 30,000 people living in Shanhaiguan City, and they have planted a crop of grain and sweet potatoes this year, at least it is no problem to supply food for this place.
The defenders of five thousand can hold out for a while no matter what enemy comes to fight, but they ignore one direction.
That is, there is no need to fight them in front of the majestic Shanhaiguan on the sea!
The winter monsoon is southward, and the sailboats can be said to be the fastest all the way on the monsoon, arriving at their predetermined position on October 19.
Zheng Xiaobin stood on the bow of the ship, this time, he did not let Lin Mosheng command the pangolin fleet, but let Zheng Xiaobin, who is the commander of the navy, personally command, and Lin Mosheng will take the three ships as the core to prepare the weasel fleet.
The second fleet.
After Zheng Xiaobin and Lin Mosheng's discussion, three warships into a sub-fleet, fifteen warships plus a number of transport warships into a regular fleet is a temporary and reasonable establishment, this winter to completely establish the two fleets of pangolins and ferrets.
This time, the pangolin fleet of 14 warships and 12 transport ships can be said to be basically fully established, and Zheng Xiaobin personally went to sea to establish his prestige.
The attack originally scheduled to be launched on 22 October arrived three days ahead of schedule under the circumstances of a smooth sail, and Zheng Xiaobin, as the commander and a descendant of Li Yang, had great autonomy, and with a wave of his hand, he did not have to wait when he arrived, lest he take the enemy by surprise while the enemy was unprepared.
So, at four o'clock in the morning on 19 October, while the people were still asleep, a row of fourteen warships almost stuck to the coast, less than a kilometer from the coast, and began a fierce shelling.
The people in Shanhaiguan only got up early to shake the fishing nets and found out!
