General Tucklin is not a fool. Of course, he cannot kill Mayor Rapson. He only needs to control this guy. Although the navy and army are coming to kill him, he must take a posture of resistance.
, otherwise his family would be in trouble.
"Do you know what you are doing? It's too late to stop now. As long as we send people to negotiate, we can save the names of most people in the city. If you order resistance now, their artillery can destroy this place in an instant.
, do you want to drag everyone in the city to support you?"
Mayor Rapson was shot in the left shoulder. Although it had been treated, the wound was still involved when he spoke. It hurt so much that there were beads of sweat on the guy's head.
"I have no choice but to do this. All my family members are in the capital. If I don't do anything, do you know what will happen to them? They will be sent to a labor camp immediately for the rest of their lives.
There is no way out."
Although General Taklin has not been here for a long time, he also likes this coastal city very much. However, for the sake of his family, he would rather destroy the city than leave it to the suppressing army. This is also the case for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The order was issued, but these local officials did not know it.
Mayor Rapson looked at the dozen corpses next to him. They were all his own men, and now they were all killed by General Tucklin. If this guy insists on resisting, he will send everyone in the city to hell.
.
boom…
A huge roar came from the north. The anti-Japanese army's fleet was in the southeast. This sound could only be their coastal defense artillery. Mayor Rapson closed his eyes. When the coastal defense artillery fired,
That means everything is over.
The suppressing army fleet.
"Reporting to the commander, the enemy's coastal defense artillery was found fifteen degrees northwest, which is exactly the same as our reconnaissance coordinates."
The Rakshasa people's coastal defense artillery had just fired, and our combat staff quickly locked their position.
"Order the heavy cruiser to fight back. Except for the heavy cruiser, all other warships will immediately withdraw from the bombardment range."
Ding Tu snorted coldly. If coastal defense artillery wants to compete with naval warships, there is probably not much hope. In history, there has never been a situation where coastal defense artillery alone can win. Although coastal defense artillery has
During the construction, various measures have been taken to allow them to hit all surrounding sea areas. However, the coastal defense guns are fixed after all. You cannot move them, but warships can move at high speed. From the day they were born,
The two sides are not on the same level.
Letting small warships withdraw is also to avoid unnecessary losses. The caliber of coastal defense guns is more than 280 mm. If small and medium-sized warships are hit by one shot, it is basically finished. If we
The heavy cruiser can definitely withstand it, not to mention that in Ding Tu's heart, he only gives them fifteen minutes at most.
"fire."
The No. 1 gunner of the flagship issued the order. Just now, the No. 2 gun position fired first, but they missed the shot. The shell hit 150 meters below the shore defense gun. Now we only need to adjust the coordinates slightly, and we will definitely be able to hit it.
Rakshasa coastal defense artillery.
Two 203mm artillery shells were pushed out instantly. With the strong inertia and the impact of gunpowder, they instantly hit the Rakshasa's fort.
Although reinforced concrete defenses have been built around the fort, the explosion power of our artillery shells was too great. Dozens of soldiers lost their lives in an instant, and half of the fortifications were destroyed.
The artillery commander of the Rakshasa Empire looked at the exposed sky stupidly. When the fortifications were built, the engineers said that even if the opponent had a heavy artillery of more than 300 mm, it could withstand more than five rounds. Now
What's going on? Did the first cannonball remove our Tianling Cap?
"Hurry up and keep shooting. What are you waiting for?"
The officer also knew that he couldn't be in a daze now and had to quickly order his soldiers to shoot. But when he turned around, he found that half of his soldiers had already run away. In addition to the dozen or so people who died just now, the gun position was now
There were less than a quarter of the soldiers left, and these people were still preparing to escape. If he hadn't taken out his pistol, they might have all escaped.
It turns out that the artillery positions are all elite artillerymen who have undergone long-term training. They have their own response plans when encountering such situations. However, these people were all forcibly captured from the urban area. After less than half of the
Yue's training put them in such a position. When they smelled the bloody smell on the gun emplacement, these people couldn't help it.
When the officer wanted to curse these soldiers, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannonball passing through the air. According to his past experience, this cannonball would definitely explode nearby and be able to take him away, so this guy was desperate.
In the sky, a small black spot slowly grew bigger, and then...
Flagship of the Suppression Army
"Well done, the shells along the way were all in vain."
Ding Tu praised these people under his command. Since they formed the Beiyang Fleet, the artillery shells they have fired are probably heavier than this ship. Three salvos have made the coastal defense artillery lose its combat effectiveness. They have basically reached the international leading level.
.
Of course, compared with the soldiers of the Windsor Empire, there is still a certain gap in their performance. According to what Ding Tu learned, five years ago, the soldiers of the Windsor Empire attacked our forts in South East Province, and the opponent only used two rounds.
A single salvo destroyed three of our forts. This shows that there is still a gap between us and them, so we should go back and continue practicing.
"Commander, it seems that the other party is determined to resist, otherwise they would not order the coastal defense artillery to fire. Should we continue with the previous plan?"
Chief of Staff Xie Junfeng said that according to their previous thoughts, the navy and army surrounded the city. Their leaders should have no intention of resisting and would arrange for their men to surrender. But the current situation should be different from what they expected.
Come and go, these people have no intention of surrendering.
"Extend the artillery fire. According to the intelligence we obtained before, we will bombard their military facilities, hit them harder, and order the army to also assume an siege posture, blow down their walls, and let our
Go inside and talk to Taklin."
Since we want the other party to surrender, we must let them know how powerful we are. How can you know the pain without bloodshed?
