Chapter 365: The Divine Workers Army Attacked
The strategic objective has not changed, to capture a landing field and collect more resources.
At the beginning, the vanguard fleet of the Lei Army chose Chunjiang Mansion in Hongzhou, and he felt that it was inappropriate, although it was easier to land there, there were not many resources, and the people of Great Chu were not necessarily fools.
Facts have proved that he guessed correctly, the Great Chu people are not stupid at all, not only the walls are clear, so that the Lei army can not be supplied, and even the personnel are evacuated, and the Lei army has been in Hongzhou for more than three months, and the Great Chu people caught are only more than 50,000, and most of them are old and weak.
These people have no strength to work, but they still have to eat, which makes the vanguard fleet, which is already short of materials, even more sad, and even Lei Jun has murderous intentions, wanting to kill all the old and weak.
This plan was not implemented in the end, not because Lei Jun was not ruthless enough, but because Lei Shi did not agree. Those old and weak are the family members of the few young and strong Chu people, you killed them all, and you still want to count on the young and strong to work for you?
Zuo Qing defeated Wuyang Mansion and suffered great losses, and the military strength at hand was not more than that of Lei Jun, and the proportion of logistics personnel was more.
Therefore, he issued an order that shocked Chu Ren, not to seal the sword for three days - to slaughter the city.
Wuyangfu is an important town in Dachu, with a large population, although it only slaughtered the city for three days, it was a river of blood, except for craftsmen and beautiful women, regardless of men, women and children.
All of a sudden, Wuyangfu was bloody, corpses were everywhere, due to the high population density, the slaughter of the city actually only lasted two days, and even the red-eyed Austrian army couldn't stand it, so they had to start cleaning up the corpses, and the two days of slaughter took seven days to clean up the corpses.
For this reason, Zuo Qing was also very remorseful, he didn't care about how many Chu people he killed, but wasted seven days to clean up the corpses, which made his original plan have to be delayed for nearly ten days.
Renault, who received the news, was silent for a quarter of an hour, this kind of inhuman killing is not uncommon in the history of the earth, he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wasn't so disgusting, but he felt a heavy pressure.
The race war is the most brutal, there is no reason to say that the Austrians will do even crazier things in order to survive. In contrast, the Lei Army of Chunjiang Mansion is much more orthodox and gentle.
"Please come to Uncle Wang. Renault said that he didn't want to let the troops of Shengong City join the battle so early, after all, there were only 1,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, although the equipment was already complete, but the training was only half carried out, according to Renault's plan, it was to train in the way of a modern army.
The foundation of the Shengongcheng troops is not good, among the 3,000 people, the number of literate people does not exceed 100, and learning things is relatively slow, there are too many things to learn, and they may not be able to complete it in three years, in his opinion, they must train for at least one year before they can go to the battlefield.
The only good news is that the artillery has been finalized and produced, although the number is not large, but the number of troops in Shengong City is limited, and only equipping them can still meet the demand. Not only a force of three thousand people, but also a unit of artillery with twenty-four guns, and the surplus artillery, was also installed on the ironclad ships, so that each ironclad ship had twelve guns.
In fact, when the number of artillery is small, the demand for the navy is the greatest. The caliber of the artillery that has just been finalized is not large, only 60 millimeters, which is much smaller than the 40-kilogram heavy guns of the Austrians, and the weight of each gun is only 500 kilograms.
You must know that in this army of 3,000 people, the number of warriors alone exceeds 300 people, which is not a ratio of ten to one, but three to one, and there are only 1,000 regular soldiers.
"Sir. The Tiger King walked in sweating profusely, according to Mr.'s request, he personally took a thousand regular soldiers to train every day, eating and living together, after all, he was a nine-rank martial artist, and Renault repeatedly increased the amount of training, which was also very easy for him.
The main reason is that the ghost place of Nanzhang is too hot, even if you sit still, you will sweat all over your body, and you will train against the sun, and the warriors are a little unbearable.
"Uncle Wang, take a look. Renault said, handing the battle report from Los Angeles to the Tiger King.
After reading the battle report, the Tiger King gasped, in the history of Da Chu, there had never been such a murderous thing.
"Sir, let's get on. ”
"Well, we have few people, don't fight head-on with the Austrian army, your task is still training, this time it is to train in another way, pick the small army of the Austrians, and annihilate them as much as possible. You may not have many opportunities, this Zuo Qing is a ruthless man, and he is also very smart, he will not disperse the troops easily, don't be in a hurry, slowly look for opportunities, hundreds of thousands of people, you can always find opportunities. "Renault is still a little worried, but fortunately, the commander is the Tiger King, his ability is not strong, but he is extremely stable, much stronger than Huya.
"Yes, I understand. The Tiger King nodded in response.
"This time, in addition to your army, Binglan's naval army and Lanyunxi's air force will also be dispatched together, remember our advantages, use our own strengths, attack the enemy's shortcomings, don't be in a hurry, this war, there is still a long time. Renault said as he looked out the window at the hot construction site.
"I understand, sir, rest assured, try not to fight if there is danger, and I will retreat if the enemy advances," the tiger king recited a long list ......of strategic regulations, which were usually said casually by Mr., and he wrote them down, read them every day, and read them all the time, although he could not memorize them backwards, but they were deeply imprinted in his mind.
Even so, the Tiger King has no bottom in his heart, he knows very well that fighting a war is different from endorsing, and no matter how good the war book is memorized, it may be useless to go to the battlefield.
"Well, prepare, set off in three days, your target is Zuoqing's Second Landing Army, the Lei Army has been completely suppressed by General Cheng Liang, and you are not needed there. Renault said.
"Understood, start preparing now, and send it out in three days. The Tiger King answered, turned around and left, he had personally trained this army for more than half a year, and the Tiger King had never understood anything before, but now at least he knew what the troops should do before they set off.
The number of people is small, the order was issued, it only took two days, all the pre-war preparations were completed, the tiger king gave the troops a day off, those with family members went back to reunite for a day, and those without family can also find a place to relax.
Today's Shengong City not only has its own urban area, but also has a larger settlement in the rainforest, which has gradually taken on the appearance of a prefecture. There are restaurants, inns, markets, trading houses, private workshops, and even a large number of prostitutes.
With a whistle, the Divine Engineer Army attacked!
The flagship Shengong is a double-bridge mothership that is connected by two fat men together and converted into a double-bridge mothership, which originally had four boilers, but because it is the flagship, it has been increased to eight, so that this huge twin carrier can reach a cruising speed of eighteen knots, not only will not drag the fleet back, but even faster.
The six escort warships, all of which were Zhenyuan-class ironclad ships with a displacement of 3,000 tons, each with a total crew of 360 men, and six rear-loading guns with a range of eight miles on each side.
In fact......
Shengong City only has this level of warship, which is similar in size to the first-class battleships of the Great Chu Water Army. In the eyes of everyone in Shengong City, this is an incredible battleship, all made of fine iron, even if they have seen it many times, there are still people who don't believe that it is true.
Is a 3,000-ton ship big......
Renault was quite speechless, this kind of tonnage ship, even if it goes out to sea to fish, it doesn't dare to run too far, well, the waves of more than ten meters are a great threat to the Zhenyuan-class warships, so this kind of warship can only go along the coastline, Renault's order is that the Shengong fleet must not go deep into the sea for 500 miles.
Five hundred miles, only two hundred and fifty kilometers, even so, Renault is a little worried, if it encounters extreme weather, this fleet will not be able to resist at all.
Then there were eight fat men, except for the four Zhenyuan-class battleships left, and the newly built batch of ships, Renault handed over all of them to the Tiger King, no way, the number was too small.
The shipbuilding speed of the ironclad ship is actually faster than that of the sail battleship, and that is because it is too rough for Renault to look down on. The first batch of Zhenyuan-class ironclad ships is also used for experiments, and the next batch will be the Nanhai-class, 5,000-ton ironclad ships, and the Zhenyuan-class will only build this batch, but the 4,500-ton fat man has already begun to build the second batch, and the transport ship, no matter how many there are, Renault will not be too much.
In the sky, led by the Liuyun Air Mother on which Lan Yunxi was riding, two hundred airships were lined up, occupying an airspace ten times larger than the fleet on the sea.
Renault still adopted the scheme of large horse-drawn carts, and the number of troops could be smaller, and the equipment must be sufficient until the manpower is insufficient.
Four air teams were prepared (with the launch of airships, Da Chu had become accustomed to the formation of an air team with fifty airships. According to Renault, even if it is not used in combat, even if it is to escape, flying in the sky is faster and safer than running on the ground.
If it weren't for the crowd, Renault wanted to increase the number of air forces to ten, so that everyone could escape in airships in the event of defeat.
It wasn't until he couldn't see the airship in the sky and the battleship in the telescope that Renault sighed lightly, turned around and got into the RV, and returned to Shengong City.
"Grandmaster Mo, you better go back to the cabin, what is there to see in the sea, I haven't seen enough. The Tiger King said, he really couldn't understand it, he was obviously afraid of the water, but after getting on the boat, Mo Qiang lay on the side of the boat, his legs trembled, and he refused to go back to the cabin.
"Don't ...... Leave me alone, I'll see. Mo Qiang said toughly, the Tiger King can't help it, Mo Qiang is among the four grandmasters, a famous tendon, the most afraid of Song Xian, there are only two who can order him, Air Force Commander Lan Yunxi, and then Mr.
Mo Qiang likes to fight, but he has a lot of problems, not only is he straight, but he is also afraid of water and heights. The Tiger King really can't understand it, you are a grandmaster, you can levitate in the air, how can you be afraid of heights?
If it weren't for his fear of heights, at this moment, Mo Qiang would have run to the Liuyun and followed Lan Yunxi's side. Fools can see that Grandmaster Mo is quite interested in Lan Yunxi.
