"General, we can't leave so many troops on the island, right?"
The generals asked anxiously.
"Of course not. Although we cannot cooperate with their attack, we must do our best to cover their retreat. The fleet will advance to the shore, suppress it with artillery fire, and try to leave a way for the troops on the shore." Ushakov gave the order.
At this time, Ushakov's approach was just to make up for the situation.
Xiao Qian naturally knew that Ushakov would do this, so he also took countermeasures.
After the previous coast guard "escaped", they did not join the ambush army on the spot, but carried weapons and detoured back to the rear of these Russian troops.
Xiao Qian meant to let them block the attack.
If Ushakov sends troops to support, then they will intercept the reinforcements outside the coastline.
Although there were only 8,000 people, Xiao Qian believed that they could defend the tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops who came to support them.
If not for anything else, it’s because the commander of this garrison is Niu Chaofeng!
Xiao Qian is also a person who loves talents. When he replaced Niu Chaofeng and faced Tsarist Russia in person, he knew how much pressure Tsarist Russia put on him.
Regular armies like them were hard to deal with, but Niu Chaofeng and his "stragglers" were able to hold back the Tsarist Russian army!
On the one hand, the soldiers fought desperately, but more importantly, it was Niu Chaofeng's commanding skills.
Although his background is ordinary, his growth rate is absolutely astonishing...
He himself has the temperament of a leader, able to lead those stragglers to fight without risking their own lives.
After the last battle, Niu Chaofeng, who was seriously injured, was sent to the rear to recuperate. However, Niu Chaofeng was young and strong and in excellent physical condition. Although the injury was not serious, after only a few days, the boy was alive and well.
He is not a person who can sit idle. At first, he just made mischief in the village. Later, Liu Zheng developed the Northeast. Because of his courage, he enjoyed a wave of welfare in the Northeast and completed the transformation from a gangster to a landlord. .
He originally thought that his life would be spent in a prosperous life of eating and drinking, but at this time, Liu Zheng asked him to compete for territory with Tsarist Russia!
He and Tsarist Russia went from initial friction to conflict and finally to war, and it was only then that he discovered his position.
He likes the battlefield, and he likes the feeling of fighting with the enemy on the battlefield!
Therefore, after he recovered, he returned to Sakhalin Island and asked to fight with the Qingzhou soldiers.
Of course, Xiao Qian was very happy about this. For them who lacked experience in fighting against Tsarist Russia, Niu Chaofeng's joining helped them avoid a lot of detours.
Xiao Qian was very happy and immediately gave Niu Chaofeng an official position.
Longyan Xing'anling commanded Qianshi!
He was a fourth-grade military attache who commanded military affairs. Now, Niu Chaofeng was no longer the leader of a civil society group, he was a daimyo general!
Not only that, commanding Qianshi is not an ordinary general. In Longyan, commanding Qianshi can be hereditary!
As long as future generations don't disappoint too much, he can continue to hold this title of general!
One generation, two generations, passed down forever!
Wearing the armor of a fourth-grade military attache, Niu Chaofeng felt proud in his heart.
He never dreamed that a person from a gangster background could actually become a general of the Longyan Dynasty!
After this battle, he will return home in full glory and let the villagers see the general's uniform on him!
"Brothers, General Xiao is leading the army to encircle and suppress the beasts of Tsarist Russia. The Tsarist Russian army on the sea will definitely come to support us. Our mission is to block the Tsarist Russian army from the islands!"
"You have to keep your spirits up, you can't even let me get rid of a fly!"
"No matter how difficult the battle is, no one can retreat. The Tsarist Russian army cannot pass through our position. If it passes, they can only step on our corpses!"
"No one is allowed to leave the position. The entire army, from me down, is a supervisor. Anyone found to have abandoned the position and fled will be killed on the spot without reporting it! If you find me turning around and running away during the battle, don't hesitate.
, use the guns in your hands to kill me!"
"Long live Long Yan!"
"Long live Long Yan!"
"Long live Long Yan!"
Niu Chaofeng boosted morale in front of the battle.
Then, he mobilized soldiers and dug trenches.
This trench was something Niu Chaofeng remembered when he was recovering from his injuries.
When they were defending the island before, the biggest headache for them was Tsarist Russian artillery.
Most of his brothers died under gunfire.
Moreover, the role of artillery fire is not only direct killing, but also the deterrent effect it plays, which is also very useful on the battlefield.
After a round of artillery fire, even the soldiers who were not hit by the artillery fire will become timid after seeing the exploded bodies of their comrades. Therefore, how to reduce the casualties of soldiers when being shelled has become a top priority.
Finally, he thought of a way, which was to bury his body in the soil.
Although the power of artillery shells is strong, compared with the earth, it is just an itch to dig a trench that is more than half the height of a person, and then dig a cave in the trench that can accommodate one person. In this way, when the artillery shells attack, the soldiers can
Hiding in a cave, this way, the cannonballs have no target point, and people have a bunker, which can greatly reduce the damage caused by the cannonballs!
Once the shelling stops, the soldiers can immediately go into battle!
