The Battle of the Huai River ended in an absolutely shocking way under the watchful eyes of all forces, and no one in the world thought that in front of the communist army, the 130,000 troops of the Yuan Dynasty were so vulnerable. This is by no means that the Yuan Dynasty has become weaker. The fact that the Yuan army suppressed all kinds of small uprisings in recent years shows that they are still an army that can fight. Since it is not that the Yuan army is too weak, that is, the communist army is too strong, and for a time the term artillery appeared on the desk of many strengths. Future wars began to expand towards firearms, but for the Communist Army, which now holds the Ma'anshan Iron Mine and the Huainan Coal Mine, as long as the middle railway is completed, this point of technological diffusion has no further relevance. After the implementation of the agricultural policy of the newly occupied land, the republican government prepared to recruit 10,000 young and middle-aged people from the newly occupied land to train and start the construction of the 200-kilometer railway. So far, 10,000 railway workers have been initially trained.

The Battle of the Huai River had just come to an end, and Cheng Pan came to the railway construction site to discuss with Li He, the general person in charge of the construction of this railway. Now Li He is equivalent to the position of prime minister, and he now formulates a plan for the allocation of production resources in a series of industrial sectors such as iron and steel, shipbuilding machinery, etc. Now he is personally in charge of the construction of this railway, eating, drinking and sleeping with the workers every day. Hundreds of surveyors, engineers, all of whom he snatched from the school. A few months ago, in order to snatch a group of geometry and mathematics graduates with Zhu Zi, the matter was directly raised for Cheng Pan to judge. One is necessary for artillery, and the other is necessary for railway construction. In the end, Cheng Pan proposed a compromise plan to let these people work as artillerymen first, and then change careers after the war.

The noisy sound of erecting steel rails and laying sleepers around Cheng Pan asked Li He in harmony: "Li He, what are the difficulties in railway construction now?" Li He, who had a messy head cut short, his eyes had not been wiped for a few days, and his whole body was sweaty, and he said unceremoniously: "There are no technical difficulties, but the stock of rails is consumed too quickly, and the scale of training railway workers has not increased until now, the commander-in-chief I know that it is a time of war, but I want to ask when the war will end?" If the war is extended for three months, I will have to reformulate the production plan." In the face of his students' questioning, Cheng Pan did not have any dissatisfaction, in the army is to ensure that the hierarchy of authority is strictly enforced, but in terms of production, the objective law is overwhelming, and the strong command of the leader is helpful to manage production, but once the leader wants to maintain authority, that is the germ of bureaucracy, Cheng Pan advocates this style of asking questions straightforwardly without considering official status, of course, this question still has to be answered. Cheng Pan said: "The Taiwan side is ready, and the campaign to end this war will begin after the troops in Anhui Central will assemble along the river and gather at sea five days later." Li He said: "May our army go out to victory, but it is best to end the war before spring ploughing, we only have two months" Cheng Pan said: "You can rest assured of this, whether it is successful or not, we will return immediately before spring ploughing." After discussing a series of material supply issues in the current territory, Cheng Pan did not disturb Li He's work and left, he also had a lot of things to do.

Since the end of the Battle of the Huai River, the mighty Northern Republican Army has been dismembered. Only two divisions were left in Huainan as a precaution. Most of the remaining forces were deployed on the Western Front. However, there was still a part of the elite troops that began to move south down the river, including 300 artillery pieces and artillery soldiers who had just participated in the battle of the Huai River, and began to sail down the river to Rugao and began to board the ship in an orderly manner. Not only artillery, but also ninety percent of the cavalry who had participated in the Huaihe Battle participated in the Deng-6 Campaign. He Cheng was still in command of as many as 100,000 field troops in central Anhui to prevent the movement of the Yuan army in the southwest. However, Zhu Zichou and some other technical officers had to leave the central part of the country and also go to sea to participate in this military operation.

Of course, after the operation began, the happiest was the 6 Hai 6 generals who trained the 20,000 Deng 6 troops in Taiwan, and since the beginning of the war, he had been hearing the frequent good news of the Central War, and he always felt that it was not a good feeling, and when the news of his old rival's complete victory in the Huai River Battle came, the 6 Hai had all the ups and downs in his heart. On the one hand, seeing that the war in the central part of the country was going on smoothly, they always thought that they were not inferior to themselves, and they were still training troops here, and their hearts were like cat's claws. Of course, 6 Hai also knows that his current task is also very important. So he and Sun Tao divided all the depression as motivation and prepared to shine on their own in the future, and 6 Hai must also expect him to be successful against He Cheng, a competitor. Because it was already made clear at the pre-war military meeting, only the more successful the Central War, the greater the material support for the next Deng 6 War. Therefore, this feeling of being forced to succeed in the head cannot be understood without experiencing it.

Now it's okay, 6 Hai understands that it's finally his turn to play. Of course, Cheng Pan must also go north with the army for some reason, but Cheng Pan will not compete with 6 Hai for command, so 6 Hai can fully show his talent in front of his boss this time.

So in the East China Sea, thousands of sails competed. A large fleet of 375 ships with a minimum displacement of 5oo tons and a maximum displacement of 2ooo tons carried 25,000 people and began to move north along the Chinese coastline. So the troops first went north to Jeju Island to live temporarily. Wait for the first batch of Deng-6 troops to occupy the Deng-6 site. After then ascending the 6th, a large number of cavalry artillery began to advance in the direction of Dadu with equipment.

At this time, on January 1, 1349, this place called Tianjin in later generations is now called Haijin Town, which has become a transshipment center for grain transportation. At the same time, a salt farm was established. Since the sea route of the Yuan Dynasty was now cut off from the southern sea, the imperial grain was cut off by the communist navy, which was not as lively as in previous years, and now the court has focused all its attention on the Huai River area in Anhui, and recently the court is discussing a plan to mobilize 300,000 troops from northern Shaanxi and other places to rehabilitate. Therefore, Tianjin, a place rich in oil and water in the past, no one cares about it. But it quickly became lively and attracted the attention of the whole country.

Although he knew that there was no work to do, he still looked at the sea as usual, and under the dazzling light of the rising sun, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and scolded himself for a few words against the thief who made him unemployed. When he was about to leave, he suddenly swept a black spot on the surface of the sea with his afterglow, and he quickly rubbed his eyes. Braving the dazzling sunlight, he squinted his eyes and carefully confirmed, yes, it was a big ship, and it must have been transported by the emperor from the south. He began to shout loudly. Soon more people began to notice the situation at sea, and the whole Haijin town began to be filled with joy, and Bagul, who was in charge of Haijin Town, was surprised when he heard the arrival of the imperial grain by sea, and it didn't make sense, he didn't hear any good news from the imperial court in the south recently, and he hurriedly boarded the lookout and raised the telescope he bought from the merchants of the Western Regions. Yes, a large number of ships did appear in the distance, about forty or so, all of them sea-going ships. But he looked up, and the sickle-hammer flag fluttered in the sea breeze. "Bang Dong" The valuable telescope fell to the ground. "Enemy attack," a terrible cry came out of the mouth of the dead fat man.

The commander of this group of Pioneer Deng 6 Fleet is Sun Tao, the current supreme commander of the Republican Navy, who is now battling headwinds. It's hard to see the goal. Ten combat ships with a displacement of 12oo tons began to line up in formation. At this time, in Sun Tao's telescope, Haijin Town was very lively, full of people running around with various weapons such as spears and scimitars. Sun Tao said: "It seems that the other side already knows our identity, and ordered the battle fleet to prepare for battle, and first destroy the ships on the shore with explosive bombs" With the order of the flag speaker, the republican fleet began to attack. Ten ships of the fleet under the fire of two hundred guns. The wooden boat docked on the shore quickly became a torch. The ships had been idle in the harbor without work, and now some of them were just about to set sail when they were destroyed by artillery fire from afar. After a dozen wooden ships were shot down as targets, the shells on the fleet began to name the fortress-like buildings in the town of Haijin, which had been experiencing a catastrophe for hundreds of years under the ferocious shelling.

After a cannon shot, the people on the shore had long since disappeared. With the determination of the boat measuring the depth of the water, half an hour later the 6th Army of a division began to board the 6th. Effectively captured the port. At this time, the news of the Comprean Army's arrival on the 6th had already reached the ears of the nearby defenders, and the Yuan Army's first reaction to the news of the Comprean Army coming from the sea was that they could not believe it. I don't think it's a pirate coming. Anyway, the nearest team of 10,000 people rushed to the place of the incident. After determining the situation, they rushed to the position of the Compreans, who had just landed 6,2500 men, but they suffered a baptism of naval artillery. In the history of warfare in the original time and space, the power of artillery was ranked from small to large infantry guns, naval guns, and fortress guns. The reason why the fortress cannon is more powerful than the ship cannon is that the weight and anti-shock force of the fortress cannon can be borne by the earth. Therefore, the reason why the fortress cannon can be built is larger than the naval gun, and the power of the naval gun is greater than that of the infantry artillery, the traction of the ship is much greater than the traction of the 6th Army on the ground, so the naval gun can be stronger than the infantry artillery. Except, of course, train guns.

After replacing the 200 120-millimeter naval guns with howitzers, they bombarded the charging 10,000-strong team. This scene is the same as the effect of the German army preparing to fight the fleet in the original history. The cavalry unit was scurried by the shrapnel bombardment. A small number of cavalry survived this round of artillery bombardment, shouting the slogan of Immortal Heaven and continued to rush towards the 6th unit of Deng, and they were greeted by six wind-like paper-shelled bullets per gun.

On January 1, 1349, under the cover of the fleet, the 7th Division of the Communist Army successfully landed at the mouth of the Haihe River in Tianjin. This action of the communist army quickly shocked the Yuan Dynasty and the opposition a hundred kilometers away, and the flames of war burned to their pillows in a way that the Mengyuan Empire could not imagine.

For the completely unreasonable attack method of the communist army that is not in the history books this time, the Yuan Dynasty suddenly showed that their troop mobilization of thousands of miles up and down northern China was completely useless, and no one thought that this was a pirate-style raiding harassment, and the rapid destruction of a 10,000-person cavalry team made the Yuan Dynasty extremely nervous. One by one, official documents were passed in all directions, all of which meant "King Qin's rescue". The whole of China was frightened by the action of the Communist Army. Thousands of miles of sea are attacked, and thousands of miles of soldiers are under the capital of the enemy country. What a "cow" word.

But now that Deng 6 has just succeeded, an even bigger battle is coming.
