Why does Dongdi have large-caliber heavy artillery?
The sound of the gunfire spread so far that even Gao Shaoyi at the headquarters heard it.
When Gao Shaoyi ran out of the headquarters, he happened to see a big explosion at the station in the distance.
The power is more than twice that of a 105mm howitzer.
This is because the gunpowder used by both sides is different. If it were exactly the same as the gunpowder used by the suppressing army, then this shell could cause at least hundreds of casualties.
"Find out what's going on immediately."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, a dozen combat staff members behind him quickly ran out. They rushed to various channels to see if there was any news about this heavy artillery shell.
Three minutes later another heavy artillery shell came.
Although there is no other news coming, Gao Shaoyi based on his own guess, this should be a heavy artillery of more than 280 mm. It is impossible for Dongdi Kingdom to have such a heavy artillery on land, then
It should be at sea.
And it only takes three minutes to fire one cannonball, which means that this is probably the only warship in number.
"Order Wang Wu, no matter what happens, the train station position cannot be lost."
Gao Shaoyi knew that because of the problem of heavy artillery shells, Boss Wang's army would definitely be in panic. After all, such a big killer had never appeared before. A single shell could kill dozens of people, and the suppressing army had not suffered any losses yet.
It's been so tragic.
"Master Marquis, we have found out that it is a 3,500-ton iron-clad ship. It came from the southeastern province. It should have set off with the Dongdi Army heading north. It's just because the ship is too old and dilapidated, so
It’s a little slow coming.”
Within a few minutes, the reconnaissance staff of the Suppression Army found out. This was also related to the fact that they had investigators all over Haicheng.
"How many destroyers do we have around?"
Gao Shaoyi did not ask the forts on both sides. Since the other side could fire safely, it meant that they were outside the strike range of the forts. At this time, they could only rely on destroyers that had never been on the battlefield.
"Two ships, Admiral Ding has already led his troops to the expedition."
Gao Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ding Kui had led the two destroyers out.
Throughout the entire battle, what Gao Shaoyi feared most was that the opponent's navy would get involved and attack the land army with large-caliber heavy artillery. This was really a dead dream.
"Quickly complete the encirclement and speed up the progress."
Although Ding Kui has led the destroyer out, Gao Shaoyi still has to make timely changes. Especially at this time, naval heavy artillery can increase the opponent's confidence and damage the morale of the suppressing army, so Gao Shaoyi also has to make every precaution
If Boss Wang's side is unable to withstand it, we will have to take action even if we haven't completely encircled him yet.
These two divisions have been coveted by Gao Shaoyi for a long time, and he must win them. Even if he has to pay a certain price, Gao Shaoyi will not hesitate.
Because Gao Shaoyi knew very well that once the suppressing army failed, even if it was a small defeat, there would be various interferences from the imperial court. At that time, Gao Shaoyi's enemies would not be from the Dongdi Kingdom, but would most likely be the big ones.
People who work in the imperial court.
The reason why Li Hongtang was able to hold back the people of the imperial court was because the suppressing army continued to win and sent prisoners to the capital, which made them suppress their desire to interfere.
Railway station position.
"Brothers, don't worry. The other side only has one ironclad ship. It only takes three minutes at most to fire a cannonball, and that's without anyone's intervention. Now that our naval warships have gone out, we can fire a shell in at most twenty minutes. We can exchange fire with them. As long as we can withstand these twenty minutes, victory will be ours."
Boss Wang was a little panicked just now. This guy also saw such a violent shell explosion, and his heart was pounding. Now that he has received the news from the Marquis, he is not so panicked in his heart.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he has seen the world, and he is already so panicked in his heart, let alone the ordinary soldiers below, so after learning the news, he immediately asked people to convey the news, and also let the brothers below Peace of mind.
When they heard that there was only one ironclad ship and that it only took three minutes to fire a cannonball, many people felt a little more relaxed, but they still had some doubts about the navy.
The navy of the Daqian Empire was once very powerful, and it was very powerful at home and abroad, but when it comes to fighting the navy of the Dongdi Kingdom, our side is no match for them.
I wonder if the new army founded by Mr. Hou is like this?
But now there is no time for these brothers to think about this problem. After Xiangyue Qingchuan saw the situation in front of him, he immediately ordered his troops to attack in an all-out manner and pulled up all the reserves. With the support of navy warships, if this If they can get into the train station with one attack, it means they have won. But if they can't get in, then they have to think of a way to end the battle decently.
"Brothers, please stick to your posts. This is the time to test us. No one can retreat. Behind us is our land, our wives and sisters. If you take this step back now, I don't know how many people will suffer misfortune." , everyone touches their own conscience, and they will have to live up to their ancestors a hundred years from now."
Wang Wu said loudly on the battlefield, to be honest, including him, all the officers and soldiers of the Suppression Army did not expect that the battle would be so fierce, because their weapons and equipment were relatively advanced and they were on the defensive. No matter how powerful the enemy is, it is impossible to force them into a desperate situation. I didn't expect it to be so interesting now.
The psychology of some soldiers has been a little shaken. After all, with the support of naval guns, Dongdi's attack has been upgraded to a higher level than before. Now it is still unknown whether they can hold on.
But after listening to Boss Wang's words, these people also have consciences and are bloody.
If the Dongdi Kingdom becomes more powerful and the Empire is involved in a bloody crime, it will no longer be a bloody case. If we don't handle it well, when they take over Haicheng, this place will be a hell on earth again.
"No matter how you die, it's just death. When a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky. Even if our brothers die, they will still be standing men."
A soldier responded loudly to Wang Wu's speech.
"The suppressing army is mighty!"
"Daqan Mighty!"
Shouts one after another began to float around the battlefield.
After this ideological education, the eyes of the brothers became much firmer. Dongdi Kingdom may not be able to charge forward...?? This chapter has been completed!
