Go back to two days ago.
After the Qing army's night attack failed, the leading troops of the Northern Navy pursued them to the vicinity of the first trench of the Ningguta camp at noon that day, which was less than three miles away from the Qing army camp.
The Beihai Navy platoon leader who was running in front saw the defeated Qing army hundreds of meters away jumping into the trench with urine on their buttocks, and then there was no movement, so he became vigilant.
"Pass it on, everyone spread out in pairs! There's something weird ahead!" Following the officer's order, Bei Haijun, who was running in front, slowed down and formed groups of two, with each group fifteen meters apart. Cover advance.
Suddenly, a drumbeat like a rain shower sounded from a few hundred meters ahead. The experienced veterans of the Northern Navy hurriedly pulled their companions, lying on the ground like a dog eating shit, shouting: "Get down! Take cover!"
Boom! ! !
In an instant, the entire Qing army's defense line was like rolling thunder, white smoke rose, and countless roars sounded. The two men deployed on the first trench carried back the artillery, the strange artillery set up on the edge of the trench, and the second general The cannons fired together. Immediately afterwards, thousands of musketeers emerged from the trenches, holding muskets, and fired another volley.
The commander of the Qing army at a victory artillery position saw two soldiers of the Northern Navy who could not avoid being hit by shotguns and fell to the ground. He shouted excitedly: "Hit! Hit!"
The artillery battalion's cavalry school commanding nearby smiled and said: "Well done! Reward..."
Before he finished speaking, a hail of bullets hit from the opposite side, and the Qing army commander and several Qing army gunners were shot to death.
At this time, several Qing army gunners who had loaded the shells saw a Beihai navy carrying a small leather bag rushing to the place where the wounded soldiers were, and taking something out of the bag. They quickly aimed their guns there. , just as he was about to take aim and fire, he heard someone behind him say in a deep voice: "You can't hit!"
The Qing army gunner looked back and saw that it was the young cavalry schoolman.
"Sir, why is this?"
The Knight Riding School stared at the ambulance soldier in the distance with complicated eyes, and said meaningfully: "That is the traitor specializing in rescuing the wounded, so you can't fight!"
"Ah? You mean, that's a doctor?" Several gunners said to themselves that this is really strange, even the doctors who treat patients are on the battlefield! But then again, how does this adult know so clearly?
In the flash of lightning, the Cavalry School recalled the days when he was a prisoner in Beihai Town; when he was captured on the battlefield of Fuldan City, without these rescuers, he might not be alive today. .....
The Qing army took advantage of the trenches to fire continuously, and during the shooting intervals, some Qing army archers also fired from the trenches. The problem is that the two sides are more than 200 meters apart. Whether it is bows, arrows, matchlocks or flintlocks, they are not lethal to the scattered Northern Navy soldiers at all; the only ones that can cause damage to the Northern Navy soldiers are those artillery pieces.
However, the firing frequency of these small front-line artillery was too slow, which gave the North Navy an opportunity. They took off the engineering shovels from their backs and began to dig hard to build simple fortifications.
They first dug a small pit for themselves to lie down, and then piled up soil and stones in the direction facing the Qing army. After that, the soldiers continued to expand the simple bunker, and gradually expanded it into a one-meter-deep "U"-shaped bunker.
This is what the North Navy has done well in daily training. In addition to U-shaped bunkers, there are also W-shaped, V-shaped, and various curved deformation bunkers evolved from these three types.
The advantage of a U-shaped bunker is that if a position is bombarded by enemy artillery, soldiers can quickly move to another position to avoid it based on prediction.
When the Northern Navy completed the bunker digging and established several machine gun fire points, the casualty rate of the Qing gunners in the trenches suddenly increased. Those Qing soldiers who dared to open their heads and fire were all eliminated one by one by machine gun fire.
At this time, the Qing army was paralyzed. They could only hold the loaded muskets and the two men high with both hands, and blindly shoot at random outside. The gunners could only take a quick glance outside, and then fire randomly in the direction they were observing.
In the trenches of the Qing army, several Qing soldiers who had narrowly escaped from the night attack had some free time. They kept chewing white flour pancakes in their mouths and cursed: "These rebels have been fighting all night. Not tired!"
These broken soldiers fought fiercely from early morning to noon. They were already hungry and thirsty, not to mention that they were exhausted from the previous escape. But if he knew that the soldiers of the Northern Navy on the opposite side were hiding in the bunker and chewing delicious compressed biscuits and dried meat, he would probably be greedy to death.
After several defeated soldiers ate the pancakes and drank some water, they felt alive. One of them looked around for a while and said to a man in a low voice: "Brother Ergui, why am I always so uneasy? How about we run to the camp?"
After hearing this, the man angrily slapped the opponent on the head and cursed in a low voice: "Run away, mother! I didn't see there were more than a dozen people chopped down over there!"
In order to prevent front-line soldiers from escaping without permission, the supervisory team sent by Mingliang stood guard at the entrance to the retreat of the first-line trenches. Anyone who dared to escape would be caught with a knife. Those soldiers who did not know how to die were all caught, beheaded, and squirted from the neck. The blood flowing out of the ejaculation has gathered into a red and black puddle.
In the North Navy fortification opposite, the company commander leading the team was using a walkie-talkie to request artillery support. The order received from the regiment headquarters was to let them defend on the spot and gradually expand the scope of the bunker. Follow-up troops would quickly come to support.
"What's this? It's something that can be solved with just one bombardment!"
Hearing the officer's complaints on the walkie-talkie, Lu Shoushan, who was sitting on the hill behind him, said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just execute the order!"
As the North Navy continued to dig fortifications frantically, the entire battlefield fell silent. The Qing troops in the trenches muddle-headedly thought they had held on, and the soldiers in the vanguard of the Northern Navy were also confused.
The Northern Navy suddenly stopped advancing, which surprised the Qing commander Fucha Mingliang and his generals.
"Why don't they attack? What are they waiting for?"
Behind the second line of defense of the Qing army, Mingliang looked for a long time with his clairvoyance, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He had already been fully prepared, waiting for the North Navy to continue its attack and rush into the first trench!
"Commander, was our plan discovered by Zhao Thief's men?"
"Absolutely impossible!" A general in charge of executing the plan said categorically: "This has been prepared for a year, and we did it at night, so Zhao Thief's men couldn't detect it at all!"
Mingliang frowned and thought for a long time, then said slowly: "If they don't attack after two hours, we will withdraw our troops to the second trench!"
At this time, the headquarters of the North Navy West Road Column had moved behind a slope five miles away from the battlefield. More than 2,000 people from the 5th Regiment were cutting down trees in the surrounding fields. After the branches and vines of the felled trees were removed, they were trimmed into two-meter-long logs using saws and axes.
"This famous general from the Fucha family really has two skills! If we hadn't been prepared in advance, we would have fallen into his trap."
After hearing Liu Sheng's words, Fan Tong also became happy and said with a smile: "These guys never dreamed that we could see everything clearly from the sky."
Bright's strategy is water attack!
Mingliang had thought of this since the trenches were dug a year ago. In order to facilitate concealment, the Qing army always carried out construction at night. Not only the first trench, but also the north and south sides of the two subsequent trenches have been dug through the Shangjian River and Hualan River, and sluices have been set up. If the Northern Navy invaded the trenches, the Qing army would open the floodgates and release water in turn.
The Hulha River and its tributaries are currently experiencing spring floods. Once the sluice gates are opened, the rapid river water will quickly turn the wide trench into a moat. No matter how powerful Zhao Ni's troops are, they can't swim and shoot at the same time, right?
If the Northern Navy tries to build a bridge to pass through, it will first be violently hit by the heavy artillery of the second and third line Qing troops. Secondly, the dozens of Yaksa warships staying on the Hulha River will also sail into the Hualan River and Shangjian River respectively, and they will attack The North Korean Navy was surrounded by artillery fire from three sides.
In fact, the remaining 2,000 shotgun cavalry and 3,000 forward battalion cavalry of the Qing army have quietly moved north along the east bank of the Hulha River and entered the mountains and forests to hide and wait. By then, they will cross the river from the upper reaches of the Hualan River to the south to avoid being attacked. The North Navy launched a surprise attack from behind.
The heavy artillery deployed by the Qing army behind the second and third line trenches included 50 Wucheng Yonggu general cannons, 150 red cannons, 120 Yanwei cannons, and more than 30 sky cannons; in addition In addition, there are hundreds of returning cannons, strange cannons, winning cannons, mother-and-son cannons and dragon cannons.
Some of these artillery were transported from the Beijing Armed Forces Academy, and some were cast at the Jilin Artillery Factory in the past two years. The overall number was several times greater than when Fukang'an sent troops to Fuldan City.
The above is the confidence that Mingliang dares to face the attack of the North Navy.
However, after last night's sneak attack, Mingliang has learned that the North Navy has an unknown cannon that can hide in invisible places and fire, and there is almost no sound when shooting, which is simply killing people invisible. This gave him another layer of worry, and he didn't know how many cannons his side would have left after this battle was over. If the losses were really heavy, he really couldn't explain it to Qianlong.
After noon, the Qing troops hiding in the trenches first noticed a few strange black dots passing westward from the sky, and could faintly hear a buzzing sound like a wasp; then, these small dots flew to They stayed above the heavy artillery positions of the Qing army for a meal, and then split up and flew in the north and south directions.
At noon, that is, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the artillerymen of each regiment coming from behind entered the artillery position, the Northern Navy began to take action.
Liu Sheng's plan was to first remove those new artillery strongholds, and then send out his "surprise troops" to catch the Qing army by surprise.
With a "boom" explosion, a black fusiform iron bullet fell in front of the Qing army's artillery position one kilometer away, and then a puff of red smoke rose. This immediately caused the surrounding Qing army gunners to be Startled, he quickly hid behind the gun emplacement.
But after a while, several Qing army gunners leaned out and saw that there was only a sudden burst of red smoke from where the bullet fell, and there was no other movement. They couldn't help but look at each other.
They already know that the North Korean navy's artillery shells can explode, but what's going on? Just blowing smoke to scare people?
The Qing army general who was hiding behind the artillery position suddenly stood up and laughed loudly: "What a fucking stinker! Get up! Get up!"
The general pointed at a gunner holding a shovel and said, "Go and cover that thing with soil!"
"Me?" The Qing soldier who was named pointed at his nose and was stunned.
"Isn't it just you! Do you still want me to go?! Bastard!"
The Qing soldier walked over tremblingly, and when he was several meters away, a shovelful of soil came and was thrown towards the smoke...
On the artillery position of the North Navy, the commanding officer of the North Navy heard that the aiming was completed and immediately ordered the four mortars to open fire.
"Attention everyone! Start shooting. Target No. 101 is the enemy's firepower point. Four cannons are loaded one at a time. Prepare~~fire!"
boom! boom! boom! boom!
"Target No. 102 enemy firepower point..."
"No. 103..."
In an instant, flames rose from each gun position of the Qing army, and the fire was everywhere. The Qing gunner who was shoveling the earth was blown to pieces, and the Wucheng Yonggu General's cannon behind him was also blown up, leaving death and injury everywhere.
The Qing troops on the battlefield were all frightened! Is this okay?
The sound of bombings continued, and the Qing army's General Wucheng Yonggu's cannons were blown up one after another. When the Qing troops guarding the gun emplacements saw what they saw, their faces turned pale and they prayed to God to bless the next one. Not myself.
"If you don't use other cannons to blow up, just blow us up, right?" The Qing army gunners wanted to escape, but the sharp steel knives of the supervising team behind them frightened them even more.
Mingliang and others watched helplessly as one heavy artillery piece was destroyed by the unknown artillery of the Northern Navy, anxious but helpless. A Wucheng Yonggu General Cannon weighs six to seven thousand kilograms. It cannot be pushed by a few people, and it cannot be pulled by more than a dozen oxen and horses.
If the cannon is gone, it can be rebuilt, but the gunners are too valuable to the Manchus to be lost like this!
Mingliang said helplessly: "Let all gunners withdraw from their positions!"
"I obey your orders!"
As the order was passed on, all the gunners on the Qing army's artillery positions immediately ran away.
Fan Tong saw the situation of the Qing army's artillery positions from the picture returned by the drone, and said to Liu Sheng: "Can we move out?"
"Move out!"
A rumbling sound came from the ground to the east. The Qing troops hiding in the trenches had never heard such a sound before. They cautiously looked out and saw several green flat boxes coming towards them quickly in the distance on the horizon.
"This, what kind of monster is this!"
Seeing the roaring green flat boxes getting larger and clearer in his field of vision, the Qing troops in the front-line trenches were frightened from top to bottom.
"Fire! Cannons are designed to defeat monsters!" the knight commander shouted hoarsely. The muzzle of the victorious cannon in front of him spurted out a burst of fire, and twelve taels of iron bullets whizzed and hit the outer shell of the green flat box. .
With a loud "Dang!" sound, the iron bullet fell to the ground feebly, and was immediately crushed into the soil by the moving flat box.
"Iron?" Chins and eyeballs suddenly fell all over the Qing army's trenches.
"Boom!" Another artillery fired.
"Dang!" There was another crisp sound.
"Boom!" A small cannon-like weapon on a green flat box fired. The gunners of the Qing army who fired were immediately hit with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and their whole bodies were shattered...
Suddenly, a Qing soldier who woke up shouted: "This is a monster! Run!"
"The thief knows sorcery! This battle is lost!"
"Run away!"
The entire trench exploded like boiling water!
The panicked Qing army broke through the obstruction of the supervisory team. They threw away their muskets and bows and arrows, crawled out of the trenches on hands and feet, and fled westward without their lives.
These are Liu Sheng's "surprise troops", five armored vehicles.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Xin removed the 37mm rapid-fire cannon on the roof during procurement and ordered a bare body. Zhao Liang's arsenal later installed an M2HB on the roof. In this time and space Already invincible.
Immediately behind the armored car body were soldiers from the Fifth North Marine Regiment carrying sleepers. They rushed to the trench, threw the sleepers in their hands, and quickly filled a passage large enough for the armored vehicles to travel along.
Familiar whistles sounded around the armored vehicle. The soldiers of the Northern Navy who had been waiting for a long time climbed out of the bunker, followed the armored vehicle across the trench, and started sniping at the Qing troops in the wilderness.
Behind the second line of the Qing army, Mingliang and others were completely confused. Facing the oncoming five cannons that could not penetrate the "green monster", Mingliang just made Zhuge Liang useless!
"Hurry! Open the gate and release the water! Hurry!" Mingliang suddenly shouted to his men.
He saw that the green monster could not cross the ten-foot-wide trench, and had to fill the trench with wood to pass. Opening the gate and releasing water is the only life-saving straw now!
Suddenly, intensive gunshots and explosions rang out from the north and south sides of the Qing army's position at the same time. The sounds sounded like weapons from the Northern Navy.
"Commander! It's not good! The camp guarding the sluice was attacked by thieves, and our soldiers are fighting to the death!"
"What?!!!" Mingliang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, his plan completely failed.
A few minutes ago, just outside the Qing army camps guarding the water gates on the north and south sides, two battalions of the North Navy Regiment quickly rushed into the battle. In order to prevent the Qing army from jumping over the wall and releasing the water gates, the troops of the first group braved the river to clear the water gates. The artillery fire from the military warships, regardless of casualties, quickly organized a defense near the sluice after scattering the Qing army. After the ten 75mm field guns that arrived later joined the battle, the Qing warships fled to the west in embarrassment.
As the armored vehicle passed through the second line of defense of the Qing army, the entire Ningguta camp was suddenly blown to pieces. Thousands of Qing soldiers did not care about their weapons and baggage, nor did they care about the cloth and silver scattered on the ground. They only hated their parents for not giving them enough money. Two legs, rolling and crawling, fled towards the ferry and pontoon on the east bank of the Hulha River.
"Let us pass quickly!"
"Man, please do it well, there is still room on this boat..."
The fleeing Qing soldiers and civilians crowded on the river bank like headless flies. Some people jumped into the cold river water and swam to the other side, some people got on boats, and more people could only kneel down and cry in front of the wide river surface. . Some crazy Qing soldiers even waved knives at their companions who were lying on the hull of the boat in the river. This made the Qing soldiers watching the battle on the west bank of the Hulha River turn pale, and then turned around and fled into Ningguta City.
As the North Navy's shouts of killing got closer and closer, some Qing soldiers who had been "guests" in the prisoner camp of Fuldan City lamented, then threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground, skillfully raising their hands to hold their heads. , everyone thought that this time they would have to eat steamed buns for several months.
At this time, Fucha Mingliang was carried by a group of soldiers onto a small boat. When the boat sailed through the middle of the river, the silhouette of the Northern Navy appeared on the river bank. The west-slanting sunlight illuminated these soldiers who rushed out of the smoke. The photo is extremely clear.
And this was the last scene Fucha Mingliang saw before he fell into coma.
