1166, Destroy the castles along the river one by one
The gunners on both sides of the Taiwan Strait also immediately fired their already loaded matchlocks at the gunboats.
Dense lead bullets fell on the hull. The crackling sound was like exploding beans.
The machine gun positions on both sides were also greeted by secret lead bullets. However, the naval gun positions had gun profiles, and the steel plates blocked the lead bullets.
The portholes on the side of the cab were also covered with lead bullets.
Because lead bullets are soft, when they hit cement and steel plates, they will turn into thin flakes embedded in the bulletproof glass, making it difficult to see what is going on outside.
But at this time, there was no need to aim, because there were dense crowds on both sides of the river. The cannons on both sides were swinging left and right, shooting wildly.
There is no need to observe at all, just shoot.
The ship also slowed down to match the firing of the machine guns on both sides.
Gatling's tongues of fire drew arcs over and over again and flew towards the crowd.
A magazine contains one hundred rounds, and it was fired in a few seconds. Then, the empty magazine was unloaded. The gunner loaded the new magazine. He thought that under the dense musketry, ammunition could not be transported on the platform. At this time, it was already
The ammunition replenishment port on the floor of the gun emplacement was opened. Ammunition was replenished directly from the lower deck.
Two 100-round ammunition boxes can be placed on the left and right sides of the cannon. However, due to the high rate of fire, they will be exhausted quickly. The sailors quickly loaded new ammunition boxes according to the training method.
Soon the platform was filled with empty ammunition boxes and shell casing collection bags everywhere.
When a 100-round flaming sickle flies away, a group of people are beaten to pieces. Every four sickles fly out, there will be a brief ceasefire because the ammunition box needs to be replaced.
No matter how fierce the warriors of Oirat are, they cannot withstand such a powerful blow.
They originally thought that the shield truck could block such terrible firearms. Unexpectedly, when they got close, there was no difference between the shield truck and the paper ones. After the shells penetrated the wooden boards of the shield truck, they could still beat the people behind them into pieces.
Broken pieces.
At this time, when the gunboats rushed into the middle of the two clusters and switched to shotgun fire, the dense steel ball firepower network was like a fire net thrown from the bag, covering their heads. Non-stop
Falling. Every time it falls, a large number of people fall down like wheat.
Almost at the same time, with a bang, the Oirat people collapsed.
Almost in an instant, morale collapsed, and everyone turned and fled. They ran towards the distance. At this time, they had only one idea in their minds, stay away from the river, as far away as possible.
They found that they could not deal with this ship at all.
Seeing the armies on both sides fleeing in all directions, Yang Fan had no way to pursue them.
After all, the ship cannot get out of the water. If the Mongols come to attack him, he can attack them with machine guns. If they run away, he can only watch and use machine guns to see them off.
The Mongols came and ran faster, and quickly escaped from sight. The machine gun fired at them and then stopped shooting.
"Sir, the Mongols have collapsed. They have become discouraged. They probably won't attack us again. We can't find them either," Huang Hao said.
Yang Fan touched his chin and thought about it for a moment. It was only after noon and the battle was over. It seemed that he still had some unfinished thoughts.
"Bring the map." Yang Fan ordered.
Immediately, several sailors laid out the map of Houtao on the table. Yang Fan looked at the water system and dozens of castles in Houtao thoughtfully.
When he came out this time, the effect of the battle far exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he planned to use Kangolev rockets to attack Linhe City. Let Gushi Khan understand that Yang Fan had the ability to attack any city along the Yellow River and set up behind him. There is no such thing as front and rear.
In this way, the Mongols would not dare to send most of their troops to attack Jiuyuan City.
Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "I am one, but the enemy is divided into ten, so I use ten to attack one of them. If we have many enemies and are outnumbered, if we can attack the outnumbered with many, we will be able to fight with the enemy."
In this way, for the sake of their own safety and retreat, the Mongols can distribute their baggage and guard it, especially at the mouths of rivers. In this way, they can disperse the enemy's forces. By concentrating their own forces, they can form a local battlefield advantage.
The place we are fighting cannot be known. If we do not know, then the enemy will be prepared with many. If the enemy is prepared with many, then we will be fighting with few. Therefore, if we are prepared in front, we will be few in the rear; if we are prepared in the rear, we will be few in front; if we are prepared on the left, we will be few
If you are few, if you are prepared for the right, you will be few on the left; if you are not prepared for everything, you will be few for everything.
Yang Fan's military strength is limited. If he uses his own infantry and cavalry troops, it will be no problem to deal with the Oirat Alliance. But the Beijing camp cannot.
The soldiers and horses in the Beijing Camp were rotten to the core. Although Yang Fan had re-selected and reorganized them, their combat effectiveness was still not as good as the Mongols in the Desert. These were elite soldiers who had been fighting in the Western Regions for hundreds of years.
What's even more terrible is that the Beijing camp is basically an army that mainly uses cold weapons and supplements with firearms. Their firearms are of extremely poor quality and poor performance. Compared with the matchlock guns and camel cannons of Central Asia, they have completely lagged behind.
The number of firearms equipped by the Oirat Alliance is extremely large, and they are well-made and there is no danger of exploding the chamber.
The soldiers are also very proficient in the use of firearms. Even if they are facing off against Jiannu, they will not fall behind. They are the ceiling of combat effectiveness among the Mongols at this time.
Because of this, they had the ambition to march eastward to unify Mongolia and replace Chahar.
Rather than seeking revenge for Monan Mongolia, it is better to say that the Wala came back again, replaced the Tatars, and regained control of the entire Mongolia.
They wanted to support an emperor from a golden family just like they did before, and they wanted to control the princes by narrowly controlling the emperor.
Ancient fortifications have one thing in common, that is, they are all located along rivers. The most common pattern of settlements is that they are distributed along water sources.
The castles in the back are all on the edge of the river.
"It's still early, so there's no rush to go back. They can run away, but those castles can't. Let's drive over and use heavy artillery to destroy these cities, which will also reduce some pressure on the army to recover the back cover." Yang Fan said while leaving the pencil on the map.
.
"Just advance along this river. Fight through Jilusai Fort, Linrong Ancient City, Shoujiang City, and Woye Town."
The gunboat fired up again, billowing smoke billowing from the chimney. The whistle sounded. Woohoo!
The high-pitched and sharp sound of the whistle spread all over the countryside. When the Mongolians heard the sound of the whistle, they were so frightened that they fled further. They drove their cattle and sheep, and took their families with them, and fled away from the river. They were really
Afraid of being shot by machine guns.
The gunboat moved forward at full speed, sweeping away all the way.
The main gun of Jilu Fort fired five shots at the dilapidated castle built on a dangerous cliff in the distance. Under the bombardment of 100 kilograms of high-explosive bombs, the castle was destroyed.
In the ancient city of Linrong, the gunboats sailed to the bottom of the city and used their bow heavy guns to target the rammed earth city wall. They bombarded the city wall continuously for an hour. A large area of the city wall collapsed. There was a fire in the city. The three thousand Dulbert cavalry who were guarding the city fled in panic.
…
The gunboats advanced all the way, and whenever they saw the castle, they were bombarded by heavy artillery.
…
"Sir, the shells for the bow heavy gun have been fired." Huang Hao ran in and reported.
"Well, we finished the shooting so quickly. Didn't we prepare 300 rounds?" Yang Fan didn't expect that he ran out of ammunition.
"Master, we have been fighting for a whole day. It is almost dark and the barrels of the guns are red. No matter how many shells we have, it is not enough."
Yang Fan looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting dark.
"Then let's return. Let's go back and pick up the canal and go back to Jiuyuan City."
