Chapter 571 Heavy artillery arrives in the capital
Huang Xinggang's Navy Zhongqing did not order the fleet to continue to take risks and carry the shore anti -artillery to attack the warships in the Pingjun Port. It is not a wise choice.
In this way, this outbreak of the offshore of the Qu Ping Navy base came to an end!
The Daheng Unified Army was seven battleships led by Huang Xinggang himself. The two states joint fleets were five combat reserve duty fleets.
The two sides have been in the battle for nearly half an hour, and a Nandu -Guangzhou -class cruiser has been severely damaged and forced to rush to the beach. Other ships have also lost casualties. It is expected that hundreds of casualties are expected.
In terms of the Dianheng Unified Army Fleet, many ships were injured, and dozens of casualties.
From the perspective of the scale of battle and the loss of both sides, this battle is not worth mentioning. You must know that the two states' joint fleets have at least 20 warships in Qu Pingjun Port.
What about the nineteen warships.
In fact, most of the warships of the two sides did not participate in the war. It was only the fast fleet of the two sides.
However, this seemingly small maritime battle is huge!
Daheng's unified army navy, successfully the main battleship of the two states' joint fleets, and a brain blocked in the port of the Quping Navy base.
At the afternoon of the same day, the two states in the port tried to rush out of the port, but as soon as it came out, it was attacked by the fierce fire of the first fleet.
This time, Huang Xinggang led several other warships directly with five armored ships and directly blocking operations outside the port.
Formed a multi -level cross -firepower, forcing the two states to go back.
At the evening, the two old warships and two merchant ships that were adjusted behind arrived at the rear. Volunteer officers and sailors began to go to the Pingjun Port near the night.
However, the operation of the sealing channel this time has not been successful. In the process of moving forward, the four vessels were discovered by the enemy fleet.
Although it is at night, even at night, it is not really dark. It is still the shadow of the large warships that can be seen when it is closer, not to mention that people still have boat patrols at night.
After being discovered, the blocked fleet was fiercely shelled by the shore anti -gun. Two merchant ships with no protective power were sunk directly. Although the two old warships continued to move forward, one ran in a panic night.
After the wrong place, I encountered the reef was stranded ...
In the end, there was only a smooth approach to the main channel, and the sitting place was not very good, and it was not able to block the main channel.
In other words, the blocking operations of the four vessels failed. Fortunately, the casualties are not large. These voluntary crews in the self -sinking ships are not many, and they are also accompanied by sufficient lifeboats. Therefore, the casualties are limited.
There are only three injuries.
The next night, Huang Xinggang mobilized two waste merchant ships to continue to block the operation, but after the night, the sky rose a huge lighting bombs for a while.
Or even more simply this is fireworks!
The dazzling fireworks not only look beautiful. At the moment of explosion, it can also illuminate the sea surface. Even if there is only a moment, even if the light is not bright, it is enough to make the guards on the shore see the situation of the sea surface!
The night attack is not possible. As for the day, don't expect it. The fire prevention power of the Quping Naval Base is too strong. Don't expect to be close to the main channel.
No way, then you can only continue to block the fleet.
When Huang Xinggang led the first fleet to block the combat, more than thirty offshores of the first gun fleet, and the inland warships were already in a dangerous long -distance sea.
The troops have been in touch.
The subsequent battleship of the first gun fleet will cooperate with the army's combat in the Mirror River Basin to provide support for the next step of the army's next attack Beijing Division and a series of combats along the river.
The in place of the Navy Cannon Fleet also allows Liang Chenglei, chief of the Jingzhou Campaign Liang Chenglei.
If you still have the main force in the back, you have already received a report from the cavalry force in front.
To be honest, the cavalry's actions are not as successful. They failed to arrive and conquer the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau in advance.
Weapons and ammunition.
With the production capacity of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, they can produce more than 150 rear artillery, more than 20,000 Luoan 3 rifles, and huge number of ammunition.
But there is no way. The cavalry force originally belonged to the light -fitting assault force. It did not carry too much heavy firepower. There was only a part of the seventy -five millimeter cavalry guns.
In this way, it is impossible to threaten the enemy forces of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau's defense line at all. If you really want to attack, you can only fight for it.
However, another major task of the cavalry force is still good. After the cavalry's fast northward assault, and after arriving in the southern part of Jingshi, the aid of other troops in the southern part of Jingzhou has been defeated.
enemy.
These enemy forces were originally going back to the Kukagi Division, but now they have been destroyed.
In addition, the tens of thousands of cavalry forces of the enemy were also rushed to the small defense area of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau by the Second Cavalry Army. They did not let them run around around.
Although the overall situation is not very optimistic, it still belongs to the controlled range.
Liang Chenglei took the troops all the way north. The first to arrive was not the infantry and other troops that were light to the north. Instead, they were heavy artillery and heavy troops.
Because these heavy artillery and the heavy troops are equipped with the train directly north, the speed is much faster than hiking such as infantry.
After the cavalry forces received reinforcements from these heavy artillery troops, they did not launch any offense against Jingcheng District. Instead, they directly mixed the heavy artillery troops outside the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau's defense line and fiercely shot the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.
It is worth noting that their shelling targets are not the periphery of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau. They have a large number of enemy defense lines, but they directly shoot the factory building of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.
The 150 millimeters of farm cannon that arrived one step first, although there are only more than 20 doors and the number is not large, but relying on the effective range of more than 10,000 meters, coupled with the use of hot air balloons for aiming, enough to hit Jingzhou to hit Jingzhou
The factory area of the machine bureau.
With these heavy artillery fire, the defense line of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau is nothing, but the factory area has continued to be destroyed, and production has been greatly affected.
After a day, the production capacity of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau was reduced by at least half!
