Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the prelude to the general attack
After the first cannon fleet went north to the north, it was not so smooth. They were strongly intercepted by the Jingzhou inland fleet.
The enemy fleet played two games, almost fighting the firepower of the opponent's shore, fighting with the enemy's inner river fleet. In the end, it was hard to rely on the advantages of the number of warships and the firepower to forcibly defeat the enemy fleet, and then broke through the blockade and continued to go north.
Just in the two battles of Hekou, the First Fleet of the Daheng Unified Army Navy has been burned, one sinks, and the other two were forced to rush to the beach because of the water entering.
The battleship is over.
In addition, there are three heavys, more than ten light innovation.
More than 400 people were killed and injured.
The first cannon fleet was just in the battle of the two Kawagou, which was larger than the main fleet to block the Quping Naval Base.
There is no way to do this. The Beijing inland fleet and the river estuary turret are not furnishings, and it is also accompanied by a small number of rear -loading wire guns. In addition, it is fighting on the river. The river is narrow.
The firepower is rushing up.
However, after the first artillery fleet paid a large price, it was not unable to gain. In the two battles of Hekou, the first artillery fleet lost small losses, and the enemy fleet lost greater losses.
Twelve inland warships deployed in the mouth of the enemy forces were destroyed!
After the two battles, the enemy fleet had four waters sank. Two ships abandoned the ship because of the fire. The other one stranded and finally surrendered. The two were surrendered after the beach, and the three of them fled north!
After breaking through the blockade of the enemy fleet at the estuary area, the first artillery fleet continued to move forward, but after continuing to move forward for tens of kilometers, it was blocked again.
They were blocked in Dongheguan, 20 kilometers southeast of Jingshi.
Donghe Pass, this place is the first river in the lower reaches of the mirror river. When the mirror river flows here, there are hills on the south bank that are suitable for building turrets. At the same time, it is easier for the river to be blocked with artillery.
Therefore, Donghe Guanlai is the focus of the mirror river. The history of the turret fortress is more than 300 years. When the sixth dynasties rose and the guns were just popular, it was already starting to build the turret. At this time, it was deployed here to deploy here.
A large number of artillery, even if most of them are the smoothbore guns and front -loading, the rear -loading cannon can only be a part of it, but the shells of the large -caliber slide cannon can also sink these inland warships.
In the face of such a powerful turret, at the beginning of the first gun fleet, trying to attack hard at night. Anyway, they only needed to go to the Beijing Division. It is necessary to kill all the enemy turrets along the way.
But this just a hard break is that a ship was sunk, and finally was forced to give up the strategy of hard break.
How did they pass here?
It was the Army that helped them open the channel!
Because the Donghe Guanqi is on the south bank of the Mirror River, not far away is the Jingzhou Army. In order to respond to the first gun fleet, Liang Chenglei sent a full infantry army to pass.
It took almost three days to take the turrets. By the way, it also used the turret to cooperate with the navy's first artillery fleet, forcing seven Beijing -state to survive in the inland artillery ship.
Although this Donghe Pass has a powerful, it is the defending enemy fleet along the river, but the land defense is not very good. At least there should be at least tens of thousands or more troops in this place.
In nervous, they could not deploy too much forces here. Only 7,000 or eight thousand people were stationed. The overall defense force was not even as good as the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.
Liang Chenglei used nearly 60,000 troops, and it took only a day to get it off.
After passing the Donghe Pass to the Tiger, the first cannon fleet arrived at Jingshi.
At this time, the thirty -four inland rivers and offshore warships before departing.
Cannon bullets ...
However, in the Battle of Dongheguan, they accepted seven Beijing -state inland artillery ships. After this substitution, the seven inland river warships also joined the fleet to continue to fight north.
So barely can be said that the strength is not damaged.
However, this is not important. More than 30 warships are still more than 20 or only more than ten warships. In fact, it is not important. They can cooperate with the army to block the mirror river and cover the army crossing the river.
Because the inland fleet of Beijing and several inland artillery ships sent by Pingnan Prefecture, most of them are already the battle between the two river estuaries and the Battle of Dongheguan.
The surrender surrender, the mid -large tonnage inland warships are all overwhelmed, and only a small amount of small tonnage inland river warships are left.
In addition, the Daheng Unified Army Jingzhou Army is already along the mirror river coast of the northern part of Beijing, and the possibility of building the coastal artillery positions and completely blocking the possibility of the northern local fleet south.
In this case, just relying on several small and medium -sized inland warships currently existing in the Beijing Division, it is impossible to resist the attack of the first artillery fleet of the Daheng Unified Army Navy.
Therefore, after the arrival of the first gun fleet, Liang Chenglei immediately ordered the second, the Third Cavalry Army and the Eighteenth Division of the Sixth Army to cross the river in order to complete the strategy of the Beijing Division and completely cut off the connection between the Beijing Division being by the northern areas.
Then, then
The crossing the river was very smooth, and the enemy forces did not even have the courage to send the remaining small and medium -sized artillery ships to stop them. They did not send troops to intercept the beach head.
River.
In fact, even if they want to stop it, they cannot stop!
In order to cover these 60,000 people crossing the river, Liang Chenglei placed more than a hundred artillery on the side of the river. In addition to the artillery of the crossing the river, there was also a support for the heavy artillery of the independent artillery regiment to provide support.
At the same time, the first artillery fleet provided fire support for the navy. Although the inland artillery ship in the first artillery fleet, the tonnage was not relatively small, and the motion was very poor.
Situing is very poor.
But the protection ability and firepower are generally not bad.
Among the more than 30 inland coastal warships, more than half of them are iron armored ships. Some new main ships even have water line armor bands and sturdy turrets.
The firepower is also relatively powerful, even if there are only a few hundred tons of inland artillery ships, it is often affiliated with 1.50 millimeters.
The firepower in the entire first artillery fleet is actually very powerful.
It is enough to provide strong fire support for the Dujiang troops.
The Luhai Army cooperated with each other to fight each other, and placed more than 100 army artillery in the crossing of the river. More than 20 artillery ships. The Beijing Division defending unless the brain was drawn, otherwise it would not be possible to take the initiative.
After the two cavalry army and the eighteenth division crossed the river, the eighteenth division was stabilized in the rear channel. As for the Second Cavalry Army and the Third Cavalry Army, they were directly assaulted north.
The strategy of the north bank of Jingshi is surrounded.
As a result, the Daheng Unified Army Jingzhou Army has completely completed the strategic surround of Beijing Division!
With more heavy equipment such as two hundred millimeters of train guns, logistics supplies arrive, especially the logistics transport formations composed of four large freights escorted by the Navy successfully arrived in the Jingshi River section.
After the material.
After everything was ready, on July 6, Liang Chenglei ordered to launch an attack on the southern city of Beijing!
As a result, the prelude to the overall attack of the Beijing Division!
