I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"fire."

Forcibly crossing the river is not a mindless crossing. If there is no cover for artillery fire, the enemy can shoot and kill the Chinese troops crossing the river on the shore.

In order to avoid heavy losses in the process of crossing the river, we must first baptize the enemy's positions with artillery fire until they dare not stand up.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Hua army's crossing the river went smoothly, and the Annan army did not respond at all.

However, when the Chinese army arrived on the shore and the shelling stopped, a large number of Annan people emerged from the ground and killed the Chinese army.

It turned out that the Annan people had dug deep tunnels in this area, and had ambushed a large number of soldiers in the tunnels.

After the Chinese army landed, they rushed out to fight the Chinese army hand-to-hand.

They also knew that it was not cost-effective to shoot against the Hua army, so they simply gave up the original role of guns and changed to rushing to the Hua army for hand-to-hand combat.

The location where they emerged was very close to the landing point, less than 20 meters away.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were in a melee.

Hua Jun only had time to shoot a round of bullets, so he had to start loading bayonets.

Although it also brought a certain amount of damage to the Annan people, this level of killing did not defeat the morale of the Annan people.

The two sides fought on the shore for a while. In the end, the Hua army had to retreat temporarily because they were outnumbered.

In this wave, Hua Jun was defeated.

This is just a small local setback, not a big problem. At least, they have tested the Annan's defensive strategy.

Zhao Yuxuan and other officers watched the first wave of crossing the river through the telescope.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Zhao Yuxuan asked.

Because the number of ships is limited and they are all small boats, a maximum of two or three hundred soldiers can be transported over at one time, and weapons such as heavy machine guns cannot be brought in.

Relying on this person, it is a bit difficult to establish a stable defensive position after landing.

"You can cross the river in sections, and a tunnel that can't even handle artillery fire must be dug very deep. This is a big project, and it is impossible for the enemy to dig that kind of tunnel everywhere.

Find a place where there is no tunnel to cross the river, as long as you can pass a battalion and establish a defense line, then the enemy's plan to defend the river will go bankrupt. "

said one of the officers.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, thinking that this idea of ​​avoiding reality and attacking falsehood was a good idea.

However, Nie Ping frowned and seemed to have a different idea.

"Captain Nie, do you have a different opinion? Just say it. Our army focuses on brainstorming, and everyone can contribute."

Zhao Yuxuan named Nie Ping's name.

Afterwards, Nie Ping was rude and said, "It's too troublesome to divide the troops, and it's not easy to mobilize artillery fire. If there is no artillery cover, the enemy doesn't need tunnels, and they can shoot at the troops crossing the river directly by building an earthen wall. Not too small.

I suggest taking advantage of the firepower of the Lower Guards Battalion and breaking through directly from the front.

Although the enemy's tunnel entrance was very close to the landing point, it was a great threat to troops equipped with old-fashioned rifles. But the battalion of guards, armed with semi-automatic rifles, was an absolute nightmare for those trying to charge over. "

A few words woke the dreamer, and after listening to Nie Ping's words, everyone realized that their tactical thinking was still in the same place and had not kept up with the development speed of weapons.

The old-fashioned rifles were slow to fire, and they couldn't do anything about the Annan who swarmed them.

However, the guard battalion equipped with semi-automatic rifles need not be afraid. The distance of more than 20 meters is enough for them to clear a magazine.

Shooting so many bullets in a short period of time is bound to cause a lot of damage to the enemy and a major blow to the enemy's morale.

The next fight with the bayonet can also gain the upper hand.

As long as the guard battalion can hold on for half an hour, the next batch of troops can reach the other side, and then completely tear down the enemy's line of defense.

This tactic is quite bold, but if successful, it can also teach the enemy a profound lesson.

"Commander Wu, what do you think, are you sure you can establish a position?"

Zhao Yuxuan asked Wu Yu for Wu Yu's opinion.

Although he could give orders directly, Wu Yu would most likely obey.

But after all, it is not the same system. In order to avoid trouble, Zhao Yuxuan chose to let Wu Yu decide.

"Can."

Wu Yu said.

There are not many opportunities for the Praetorian Guards to actually fight. Since they are here, they must cherish the opportunity to train.

With Wu Yu's consent, Zhao Yuxuan and the others also determined the direction of the attack, and the next step is to arrange the details.

In order to ensure that the Qiqiong River can be broken through at one time, Zhao Yuxuan decided to jointly implement the key breakthrough and the comprehensive breakthrough.

On the one hand, we will build more bamboo rafts and wooden boats, and prepare to make breakthroughs in multiple directions.

On the other hand, the guard battalion was arranged in the middle, ready for the general attack.

This arrangement is relatively stable. If the guard battalion does not open up, there may be breakthroughs in other directions.

It would be even better if the enemy lines could be breached in all directions.

Hua Jun spent two days preparing, and made a lot of bamboo rafts and wooden boats.

Then, the general attack begins.

First the old rules, the shelling begins. Subsequently, the Air Force's hydrogen balloon also began to lift off.

At the same time, the river crossing troops set off

.

This is considered to be a first-level joint operation of the three armies of water, land and air.

Compared with the joint operations of sea, land and air in later generations, their cooperation seems a bit ridiculous and naive.

But at present, this kind of rough cooperation can also make Annan people despair.

Wu Daiyun, the commander-in-chief of Annan, was hiding in the mountains behind the position.

His brows were furrowed, obviously having a headache for this kind of offensive by the Chinese army.

"It seems that we can only count on the second line of defense."

Wu Daiyun did not expect to be able to stop Hua Jun in Lang Son, the famous Hua Jun could not be so weak.

Therefore, he set up a second line of defense, mainly harassing guerrillas, in the mountains to the south of Lang Son.

Completely defeating the Huajun, he never thought about it, he just wanted to drag the Huajun down.

"My lord is too pessimistic. We have more than 30,000 troops here, which is more than the total number of enemies. As long as they can't take advantage of their rifles, we will not lose."

His subordinates were a little unconvinced.

Although Hua Jun is rumored to be very good, but among those who have never fought in person, there will definitely be some people who disagree.

"I hope so, but the arrangement of the second line of defense cannot be left behind. We have to prepare for the worst."

Wu Daiyun is relatively stable and does not have blind self-confidence.

"Yes."

Although everyone disagreed with Wu Daiyun's judgment, Wu Daiyun was the commander-in-chief, and no one dared to disobey his orders.
