Chapter 74 Soldiers approaching the city
With the occupation of the landing site, the troops originally on Jeju Island began to transfer to the landing site in batches. For a time, the number of the Gonghe Army troops on the coast of Tianjin reached 20,000. If this was an imperial era game, it was undoubtedly a regicide mode. A large number of Gonghe Army troops gathered 100 kilometers away from the capital. Since large-scale attacks at sea were not considered outside this hundred kilometers away, there was no large military fortress. The senior leaders of the Yuan Dynasty could now feel the cold sword light of the Gonghe Army.
Cheng Pan got off the boat and went to an open space to release a large box that was twenty meters long, with a width and ten meters high. Lu Hai asked, "Commander-in-chief, this is a big killer weapon, right?" Cheng Pan said, "Now call me sir, this battle is your command and implementation, I just cooperate with you." Cheng Pan pointed to the giant iron-shelled box and said, "This is indeed a big killer weapon, but its intimidation significance is stronger than actual combat." Lu Hai glanced at the box and imagined that the figure inside was showing its power under the city of Beijing.
Like, he didn't feel a foolish smile. Cheng Pan "cough" made Lu Hai come back to his senses. Cheng Pan said, "Put this thing first, let's watch it first." Lu Hai asked strangely: "Sir, don't you carry him with you? It should be possible to rely on your master's supernatural powers." Cheng Pan said, "When we stand firm at Dadu's feet, I will transport it again. Now I will use my supernatural powers to bring more supplies first. Lu Hai nodded and said, "I understand, with your supernatural powers, we will win this battle."
Now Cheng Pan's original uncombatful sea of consciousness has shown his abnormal side. The 30-meter-by-30-meter-by-30-meter-by-30-meter-by-30-meter-by-the-arms are a huge war auxiliary ability for the army. They can carry about 8,000 to 12,000 materials with them. This is a myth in this era. Even in the 21st century, the US military's ability to provide air supply to the surrounded troops could not reach this level. After all, the largest transport aircraft in the world was only the largest transport aircraft at that time.
It has a carrying capacity of 600 tons, which requires a giant runway to land, otherwise it can only be used for inaccurate airborne. As for the maximum transportation helicopter that can accurately transport supplies, the maximum load of the maximum load is only twenty tons. Now that Cheng Pan's cheating machine exists, the Expeditionary Force only needs to leave a division to defend the port with large caliber guns. The Expeditionary Force crosses 100 kilometers and approaches Beijing without any supply line. It only takes Cheng Pan to run alone at night.
However, Cheng Pan's ability is now known by a small number of people. This ability to defy the will of one was sealed after the establishment of the Republican government. Therefore, there are doubts about the total number of expeditionary forces in later generations. According to the official history, how the forces of two, four thousand people and three hundred cannons were guaranteed to be supplied. If the garrison troops were solely relied on the port, the supply line could not be guaranteed no matter what. Therefore, the statement that the total number of expeditionary forces was more than 50,000 people existed.
During the period when the Communist Party of China increased its troops, the Yuan Dynasty also increased its troops. The generals of the entire North China originally planned to deploy defenses to the south basically received gold medals from the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. A large number of troops began to move closer to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. While busy saving his life, the Yuan Dynasty chose to forget the person responsible for releasing Cheng Cang out of the sea. Now it seems that releasing Cheng Cang out of the sea was the biggest mistake. The policy of turning internal disasters into pirates, such as tinea scabies, was completely failed. This was a replacement for a stomachache with a knife stabbing the head.
On January 10, 1349 AD, when the Gonghe Army gathered its troops, the Gonghe Army's 24,000 troops had three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and fifty mortars, and began to leave the port and advance towards the direction of the Yuan Dynasty's brain. This force had exceeded the number of 18,000 British and French coalition forces during the Second Opium War. Now the Gonghe Army's equipment was even better than the British and French coalition forces that bypassed Malacca in the original time and space. At this time, the Communist Army's key battle still did not adopt an immature scattered line configuration, but adopted a stable volleyball and gun shooting tactic. This unit was about to face a huge force of 50,000 cavalry and 250,000 infantry gathered near the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Less than one-tenth of the enemy's Gonghe Army was surrounded by the Yuan army like stones thrown into the pool thirty miles away from the protection of the ship gun.
"The third artillery group was fired, and the second artillery group was 47 degrees in a direction, and the distance was 1,200...." Zhu Zichou issued a speech to the artillery group with a dry mouth. From time to time, Lu Hai's messenger came in to report the request. Lu Hai was also busy at this time. Under the attack of the hollow phalanx, the local cavalry was slaughtered in several phalanx spaces. This was the third time the enemy blocked the attack from the morning to the evening. In just twenty miles, the Expeditionary Force had created 20,000 corpses along the way. Uh, some "corpses" were still breathing, but they lost a lot of blood and had no one to treat them.
The enemy attacked quickly, but retreated faster in the massacre. Today's march mission ended here, and the expeditionary army began to set up camp. At this time, the cannons began to shoot very long-rangely, and the Yuan army, which was hit by the shrapnel, quickly evacuated the troops to three kilometers away.
The camp quickly formed, with wooden obstacles and barbed wire forming a tight line of defense. At the same time, due to the existence of Cheng Pan's super supply skills, there were fires everywhere around the entire barracks, and the strict duty system of the Communist Party's army. The spies of the Mongolian Yuan army sometimes couldn't rely on them. Once they got closer and entered two hundred meters, a round light spot suddenly aimed at them, and seven or eight snipers had already pointed the muzzle at them, and when the spies of the Yuan army were blinded by the sudden attack of light sources, the dog eyes were pressed at the same time. After losing a large number of spies, all the generals of the Yuan army surrounding the expeditionary army gave up the idea of night attacks.
This light source is a carbon arc lamp, which is an electric light source that emits discharge arc light generated by the two contact carbon rod electrodes when they are powered on in the air. It is turned into a searchlight under the action of a concave mirror and a convex lens. This equipment needs to be filled with nitrogen and also requires a battery. In order to save electricity, this searchlight is not turned on all night. It only started when camping and someone came to the exam. However, it was this thing that made the Yuan army in the distance add a sense of mystery to the expeditionary army. The current master of the Yuan Dynasty's research is still blank in terms of electricity. The electromagnetics in the territory of the Communist He Army have not been passed down yet, and the current Yuan army generals cannot explain this phenomenon. Since it cannot be solved, it cannot be explained.
Explanation of various gods and monsters emerged. A famous saying is that the Communist Army received the help of the stars in the sky, and a god helped them illuminate at night in this thief camp. Well, the next thing was to develop in the direction of treacherous officials in the court. When it reached this point, the general began to issue a closure order. However, the searchlight matter could not be resolved. These generals moved the camp two miles (one kilometer) further away with the principle of not seeing each other and implementing a strict curfew system. Once at night, if a speaker was killed, many people hung their heads on the poles. The army quickly calmed down, but a strange atmosphere spread across the Yuan army.
At 8 o'clock the next day, the Communist Party of China began to set up its camp and continue moving forward. This day was better than the first day. The Yuan army only launched two cavalry raids today, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. After being repelled, leaving a land with a total of 9,000 corpses, the Communist Party of China advanced twenty-five kilometers again.
On the third day, the Yuan army seemed afraid that it would never launch a large-scale attack again. Instead, it fought with the Republican cavalry on the periphery, with 500 people per cavalry. It has to be said that the combat power of the Mongolian cavalry in the north is indeed stronger than that of the southern cavalry. These Mongolian cavalry fired the bows and arrows in the rain of bullets, which brought certain casualties to the Communist He Army. After a day of chaos, the Communist He Army died in total, all of whom were killed by arrows on their necks. As for the injury, it reached 252 people. Most of them were shot by arrows on their limbs. They could recover after this war. These Communist He Army, whose hearts were mainly protected by metal armor.
The cavalry caused 2,500 casualties to their opponents, and the death rate of the Yuan army was as high as more than 70%. Most of the remaining survivors would be disabled for life. The round-headed bullets used by the Republican cavalry would release the kinetic energy in the human body. After such a result, the Yuan army on the opposite side could not stand it first. Although this is the best way to reduce the killing of the artillery of the Communist Army, these cavalry can be said to be the hearts of various warlords. They came to serve the king, not to leave their entire wealth here. Rescuing the king is for future interests. Now, throwing all the troops into this, how can they survive in troubled times?
So on the third day, even the cavalry battles were less, and the Gonghe Army began to advance without any harassment. The surrounding Yuan army remained close and separated from the Gonghe Army a few miles away. Now all Yuan army around did not intend to fight the hard bones of the Gonghe Army for more than 20,000 people, and were unwilling to hit the bad luck of the Gonghe Army protected by naval guns at the beach. Instead, they were preparing to cut off the food routes of the two armies in between and let the Gonghe Army retreat on their own. However, Cheng Pan's cheating device would make them die with peace of mind.
As the Communist Party advances smoothly, Beijing is relatively calm and "surrounding" the many Yuan troops of the Communist Party, and Beijing is starting to go crazy in a hurry. The Seventh Prince came out of the palace and was scolded by the emperor just now very unhappy. In his palace, he began to vent his anger and scold several Yuan army generals: "What do you want to do to enter the city now?" The Wanhu Hou Huaer lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Don't calm down. The thief army is powerful, but it does not value the food route. When its momentum is exhausted, it will definitely fight down." The Seventh Prince said sarcastically: "Then, are you planning to annihilate the thief under the imperial city?" Huaer Buchi and several generals bowed their heads without saying a word.
Suddenly he cursed: "You are confused. Even if you can destroy these thieves outside the capital, can this make up for the consequences of the disturbance of the Holy Lord?" The Seventh Prince continued in a heart-wrenching tone: "This enemy is composed of a dead soldier. The purpose is to capture the imperial city. No matter whether we can quickly destroy them, as long as they knock on the wall of the capital, they will shake the prestige of the court in front of the people of the world." Huaerbuchi suddenly knelt down on the ground and bowed his hands and said to the Seventh Prince: "The humble rank will definitely not let the thieves' treacherous plan succeed. Please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured." The Seventh Prince waved his hand and said, "Go."
After these generals left, the seventh prince sighed: "It's a turbulent time."
When the Expeditionary Force advanced all the way, the cavalry division of the Expeditionary Force could already see the city walls of Dadu. At this time, the large expeditionary force arrived near Tonghui River in Tongzhou. After a hundred years in the original time and space, there would be a stone bridge in this place. In another four hundred years, this place would be the place where the British and French forces fought between the Balihe River in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Cheng Pan would not know that this place was the famous Balihe River in the past. The reason why the troops stopped in this place is that after two days of peace, the Yuan army seemed to have to make big moves. This place was conducive to defense, so Lu Hai picked this place to station.
Of course, the Yuan army has taken major actions now. After repeated urging by the Ministry of the Ministry of the Yuan army to not prepare to let the Expeditionary Force continue to operate, now the 50,000 cavalry began to prepare for collective charges, and the scene of Balihe will appear five hundred years ahead of schedule.
The Yuan army cavalry, lacking long-range weapons, began to charge forward with a wide rifle-strong firepower. Although the fierce artillery caused a lot of damage to the attacking cavalry group, the killing of the shrapnel could not stop the cavalry's charge compared with the later barrage. Soon the cavalry entered the effective range of the infantry's 300 meters, and rows of neat and rapid muskets began to fire. In front of the six-shot rifles, the cavalry could never advance to the range of one hundred meters of the position. The cavalry seemed to hit an invisible wall. At this time, a nine-shot
A thousand cavalry began to attack from the flanks. A regiment of more than 1,800 people arranged here seemed to be unable to stop the cavalry's advance. The cavalry once advanced to the 80 meters of the position and the arrows shot by the cavalry had begun to cause the reduction of the Gonghe Army's troops, but that's it. Eighty meters away from the position, several clusters of barbed wire were set up in the land and sea. At this time, all barbed wires of the Gonghe Army were almost here, although they could not be fully protected, but caused great trouble to the charging cavalry. They were hung by this thing during the high-speed charge.
, a large piece of flesh is easily taken away. This thing is still chopped with a saber and must be cut with a saw, but the Communist Army will not give them this opportunity. Of course, the cavalry that was blocked in front of the barbed wire will not continue to play the puncture game on this line of defense. A large number of cavalry began to gather in areas where barbed wire was not arranged. There was no way that the Republic's territory is now insufficient, and there is only so much barbed wire. But it is enough. At this time, the Gatling machine gun was fired. Because the production of metal bullets was not easy, the Communist Army has finally developed a suitable machine gun
The paper-shelled bullets, such cardboard bullets, were finally reduced by a series of steps of hardening and oiling to keep them smooth. At the same time, the large-scale use of machine guns was realized. In several places where a large number of cavalry were gathered without barbed wire, the mortars also began to release their power in this crowd. Five minutes later, the Yuan army realized that this weakness was actually a pit. The collapse began. In these five points, these machine gun groups fired a total of 250,000 bullets. One ten cavalry came to charge.
At this time, the front battlefield gradually decided to win and lose. In the afternoon, the artillery began to bombard the other side and set up floating bridges. After a heavy loss, the Yuan army lost the Tonghui River. After a series of tug-of-wars, the next day, the Yuan army completely failed. In this battle, the Yuan army lost 38,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and the Expeditionary Force achieved a worse result than the British and French coalition forces in this battle, with a total of 321 casualties. The Mongols are still a little stronger than the Qing Dynasty. Since then, the number of Yuan army troops near Dadu is still huge, but no other army dares to take the initiative to launch an active attack on the Communist Joint Army.
