I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Annan's troops chased after Kefu, trying to launch a fierce attack while the Chinese army was running out of ammunition.

However, they only attacked for a day, and the follow-up troops of Hua Jun arrived, completely shattering Li Shenglong's plan.

As soon as the Hua army's main force arrived, the offensive and defensive situation on both sides changed immediately. Li Shenglong gave up the active attack and began to rely on those cities to build a defensive line and try to prevent the Hua army from advancing into Hanoi.

Hua Jun rested for two days, and then launched a fierce attack on Beijiang.

Hundreds of field artillery began to bomb against the Annan's position, blowing the Annan's head away.

They were not well-prepared before, and they did not dig tunnels to prevent explosions in time. The soldiers could only hide in simple trenches.

This simple protection cannot guarantee the safety of those soldiers.

Before the shelling had stopped, the Chinese army launched an attack.

They seem to want to teach the Annan people on the spot, telling them how to play the infantry artillery synergy.

The real coordination of infantry and artillery, that is, when the shell explodes in front, the soldier rushes with the landing point, and the soldier is only tens of meters away from the position of the landing point of the shell.

Before the Annan people could emerge, Hua Jun rushed in front of them.

This kind of infantry cannon coordination, currently only Dahua can play in the world, because only their cannons have such precision.

If the artillery of other countries were fired like this, the number of their own people would be killed, perhaps more than the number of enemies killed.

After all, the enemy is hiding in the trenches, and the soldiers of their own are exposed to the charge.

The Huajun did not have this problem and achieved standard infantry and artillery coordination.

And this tactic of fighting over the era naturally made the Annan people at a loss.

By the time they reacted, Hua Jun had already rushed in front of them.

Before the change, they were eager to meet the Chinese army in short armies, and it was better to fight bayonets than firepower.

However, that is under the premise of organization.

At present, the Annan people are not ready to fight bayonets at all, the soldiers are scattered in the trenches, and some people don't even have time to install bayonets.

Unorganized meets organized, even in hand-to-hand combat, it will suffer a lot.

What's more, the Huajun is not just pure hand-to-hand combat, there are many sharp weapons among them.

For example, the pistol team, they used the convenience and speed of the pistol to rush in front and launched the first wave of blows on the enemy.

There are also Pyros, which are the most suitable for dealing with places where the enemy gathers, as well as those dark forts and trenches.

There is also the Guard Battalion of the Chinese Army, and their semi-automatic rifles can be used as primitive submachine guns alone.

The continuous shooting ability allows them to maintain continuous fighting ability in this short-handed situation.

With the cooperation of various arms, the Annan people who fought were crying without tears.

Many of them had no idea what was going on and were shot or taken prisoner.

Immediately afterwards, a defeat occurred on the Annan positions.

Those soldiers saw that the friendly army in front was desperately escaping, and they did not care about continuing to resist, and also joined the ranks of escape.

Once such a large-scale rout occurs, even the immortals cannot save it.

An Annan officer shouted, and with a dozen fanatical lunatics upstream, shouting slogans and killing the Chinese army.

It is a pity that the surrounding soldiers were not moved by them, and they still ran away on their own.

Another Annan officer with a dozen men stood in front of the fallen soldiers and asked them to return to fight.

There was a gunshot in the rout. I don't know who fired the shot. The officer was shot in the head, and the remaining dozen or so people didn't dare to stop the rout.

The rout came so quickly, so fiercely, beyond Li Shenglong's imagination.

As a result, he didn't have time to escape, and was caught alive by the sharp sword troops of the Hua Army.

So far, Beijiang fell.

The defense line laid by Li Shenglong's army of 190,000 troops was broken in one day at the most important midpoint.

Of the 80,000 army, only a few thousand died in the battle, more than 10,000 escaped, and the remaining nearly 60,000 became prisoners.

These prisoners successfully fought for the time for the left and right friendly forces to retreat, because these 60,000 prisoners were like a bomb in the hands of the Chinese army.

The total strength of the Chinese army was only more than 20,000, less than half of these captives.

Although these prisoners have no weapons, even if they use their fists, this is a terrifying force.

If it weren't for the fact that the Huajun had no tradition of killing prisoners, Xue Guiren would have wanted to kill these 60,000 people.

Only by killing these captives can he draw out his forces to march on Hanoi.

Instead of staying in Beijiang like now, guarding these prisoners.

"Starve them for two days first so they won't have the strength to start a rebellion."

Xue Guiren said.

"Commander, some of them have not eaten for a day, and if they starve for another two days, many people will die."

Zhao Yuxuan reminded.

Of course he was not soft-hearted and took pity on these captives.

These captives are valuable free labor, the favorite labor of the people of the Ministry of Industry.

The labor-intensive and high-mortality jobs of building railways and opening mines can only be done by these people.

The Ministry of Communications hates the use of Dahua workers to build roads. I don't want to mention the wages. If one or a few die accidentally, those family members will come to the door, and there is no generous compensation.

The pension is not paid at all.

With the current funding conditions of the Ministry of Communications, if we rely on recruiting workers to build the railway, I am afraid that no road can be built.

"If you die, you will die. What's the problem, our army has no surplus food."

Xue Guiren said.

"However, in this way, the Ministry of Communications may have opinions, and maybe they will join the commander again."

Zhao Yuxuan said.

"It's really troublesome, send a telegram to Nanjing, and ask the people from the Ministry of Communications to come and lead the people. By the way, let them bring more ammunition and food to exchange. By the way, I have to report the battle situation to Your Majesty, and let the court send some civil servants to deal with it. The mess here."

Xue Guiren only wanted to get to Hanoi as soon as possible, and was quite impatient with these burdens.

However, fighting is for profit.

These prisoners are all trophies, not something he can throw if he wants.

If he dared to throw away these prisoners, the people in the Ministry of Communications might ignore him if his troops had to transport supplies in the future.

For other departments, the military may not buy it.

However, the Ministry of Communications did not dare to offend easily.

After all, nowadays the mobilization of their troops and the transportation of logistics are largely dependent on the Ministry of Communications.

After explaining this, Xue Guiren also ordered two more garrison divisions from Guangzhou to come over for reinforcements.

Annan is too big, with a total area of ​​330,000 square kilometers, equivalent to three Jiangsus. Two divisions can take it down, but they can't take it.

If you want to incorporate all places into Dahua, I am afraid that you still have to use the local people to form a self-police team, there is no other way.
