Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 1054 The Beginning of the Naval Battle

The horse's hooves trampled rapidly on the muddy mountain road, making a dull sound of the horse's hooves, causing the earth to quickly retreat under the knight's feet.

The rain became heavier and heavier, hitting all the knights of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment head-on.

A large amount of rain poured down their heads, faces and necks, into their collars; in the blink of an eye, there was no dry spot inside or outside their bodies.

As soon as the cold wind blew over, I got goosebumps.

But for Yu Hanfeng, he didn't feel cold at all at this moment.

Because after he issued the "all-army assault" order, he and his two teammates, Fenghuahui and Hanjiang, rushed back to report the news using Qinggong.

Immediately, he led more than 1,800 soldiers of the Second Cavalry Regiment and began to charge against the little Japanese several miles away.

At this moment, this guy's heart was filled with unspeakable passion.

Damn it! So many people in their Xuan Ge Camp team have been preparing for more than a year.

When a new bullet is taken out of the bullet box at the waist, it is too late to load it into the gun chamber.

Because the heavy rain blocked everyone's sight, coupled with the speed of the high-speed charge of the war horses, although this round of rifle fire was quite lively, it caused few casualties.

The infantry who only use single-shot rifles, without heavy machine guns as their core firepower, and without strict positioning and formation, are destined to be a joke if they want to resist the charge of superior cavalry.

These little devils rushed down from the sniper position on the top of the mountain with bayonets in hand.

Only one or two dozen people on both sides were hit, and the number of people killed was less than single digits.

However, it had the advantages of being light and agile, having a long blade, a thin back, and being extremely sharp. However, the cavalry of the little devils at that time were shocked by it.

Even the fatigue caused by long-term fighting and running seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

But what happens next is completely different.

These people, however, had no intention of continuing to pull the MAS36 bolt, load the bullet, and fire; instead, they quickly shouldered their rifles and pulled out a revolver from their waists.

If you include the previous two system tasks that were considered warm-up, then the preparation time will be even longer. God knows how much suffering and suffering you have suffered.

Get rid of the six bullets in the bullet chamber in the shortest possible time.

In the blink of an eye, almost all the little devils in the front were knocked to the ground.

So when Yu Hanfeng and others rushed towards these Japs on horseback.

Many people were shot multiple times and were killed on the spot.

The group of cavalry who rushed at the front had already entered a distance of about fifty meters in front of them.

Facing the frightened little beast in front of them, the Qing Army only knew how to run for their lives and did not know how to resist. At that time, they thought they had won and would create another unparalleled martial arts feat.

Relying on the speed of the horse, after escaping from the Japs' assassination, he dragged the Xue Feng knife diagonally to one side and slashed across the little Japs' body without any effort at all.

Unfortunately, they were the generals who rushed down the position and stabbed to death dozens of Qing soldiers whose legs were weak from fear and had no time to escape.

The little devils who were using single-shot rifles were pulling the bolts of the Murata Type 13 or Type 18 rifles before ejecting a bullet casing.

Thinking of this, an indescribable sense of joy made Yu Hanfeng feel like he was burning; cold? Not a little colder.

But they soon learned that such a response was useless.

With such an excited mood, not long after, a total of seven or eight hundred little Japs from the Yuanshan detachment appeared in front of Yu Hanfeng and others.

But now, it's finally time to take action.

Under the orders of the detachment commander Toyama Yamato, they all changed directions.

When the two sides were separated by a distance of about a hundred meters at most, both sides pulled the triggers of their rifles one after another.

The cavalry that appeared from that direction would naturally not be their friendly forces; so these little devils were so panicked that they no longer cared about chasing down the green troops.

Under such an order, the remaining little devils threw away the bullets in their hands and held their rifles in preparation for assassination.

A long, deep and terrifying wound appeared on his chest and abdomen; an astonishing amount of blood gushed out, and he could not cover it with his hands.

The next second later, they all pulled out the Xuefeng knife from their waists.

In their ears, they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, approaching them quickly from behind.

The subsequent battle situation was indeed the same.

"Stop reloading, stab them to death with your bayonet~"

Because after firing all the bullets in the revolvers in their hands, the cavalry released their revolvers one after another; this thing has a thin rope connected to the butt and holster, so there is no need to worry about losing it.

Loading the rifle in his hand, he was ready to block these cavalry who appeared out of nowhere.

After seeing such a scene, Colonel Toyama, who was a little behind, waved his family sword in his hand and shouted crazily:

Wasn't such long and difficult preparation just to kill these little devils in the Year of Sino-Japanese War?

Although it looks a bit weird.

Even if a weapon like a revolver is fired at this distance, its accuracy and lethality are somewhat unsatisfactory, but it can't withstand the large number of bullets that come in a short time.

Then, the saber chopped off the heads of the little devils?

Of course not. You must know that the Xuefeng Saber will be a new type of saber that is more suitable for flower growers to use in the next few decades.

Pull the trigger and fire with a bang.

But after the sudden contact, the little devils discovered in horror.

In this way, the little devils were knocked down as quickly as grass was being cut.

Although some cavalrymen were stabbed with bayonets, their own casualties were almost negligible.

After everyone in the cavalry group charged down one by one, only the one-armed Colonel Toyama was left with two to three hundred people. Almost everyone was covered in blood and their faces were full of fear and despair. color.

It is said that at this time, as long as you shout "hand over the gun and don't kill", these Japs will probably surrender immediately.

The problem is, Yu Hanfeng and the other three finally encountered an opportunity to kill the Japanese. How could they be willing to end it right after the beginning?

At their command, the Second Cavalry Regiment turned around one after another, and the rear team was replaced by the front team.

After another charge, there was no longer a little Japs standing on the ground; the ground was full of Japs who had been chopped into bloody gourds and had expired, or were about to expire...

Later, while others were cleaning the battlefield.

The main thing is when the enemy, dead or not, is dealt a blow.

Yu Hanfeng, Han Jiang, Feng Huahui, and a group of three people, under the protection of the guard company, walked towards the Da Qing defeated soldiers who were standing outside Li Xu.

Ever since the cavalry came out and the little devils turned their heads to fight, they stopped escaping.

After all, the little devils behind you don't know when they will come to kill you, and escaping back will mean death.

Now that the three of them had gone over, they needed to collect these broken troops and prepare for some follow-up plans; but they never expected that they were only a hundred meters away.

A young man who had been stabbed to death by the roadside suddenly started to move.

To be more precise, it was a bloody man below who was covered in blood. After pushing away a corpse that was pressing on him, he got up and staggered towards this side.

While rushing towards me with one deep and one shallow kick, I was still shouting:

"Shopkeeper Zhou, shopkeeper Zhou, I am Ye Zhichao; today I want to thank you brothers for saving me and Sheng Jun.

I won’t thank you enough for the kindness, but don’t worry, you two, you will be Ye’s biological brothers from now on. As long as you can go back alive, I will guarantee that your business will be even bigger than that of Hu Xueyan.

Hey, why are these brothers dressed so strangely? "

It turned out that when he saw the little Jaap coming down with his bayonet, Ye Zhichao, who was running for his life in a hurry, fell to the ground and sprained one of his ankles. In desperation, he pulled a subordinate who was shot to death and covered him.

Using this method, this guy actually escaped with a way out; when he heard that cavalry was coming to help, and they should have killed all the little devils, he finally came forward.

After seeing that Feng Hua Hui and Han Jiang were among the people who came, they quickly appeared.

With the kind words in his mouth and the promise that he didn't know if he could fulfill, he yelled out without asking for money, just so that the other party could protect him and leave successfully.

The previous scene really frightened him.

It wasn't until they got closer that they discovered that Yu Hanfeng and the others were all wearing stiff new-style woolen military uniforms, and there wasn't even a braid on the back of their heads. That was the problem.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Jiang kicked him to the ground and cursed:

"Being my brother, you are worthy of a useless snack like you Ye Zhichao. You are incompetent in fighting, greedy for money and running away. Are you worthy of Zuo Baogui and the Huai Army soldiers who died in the battle?

Listen up, I am Xuan Geying Hanjiang (pseudonym, I am the third generation after all)~"

"Xuange Camp, Fenghuahui~" Fenghuahui on the side also added.

When Yu Hanfeng saw this, he shouted impatiently: "Why are you talking nonsense with this kind of thing? Kill him to avenge Zuo Baogui and the Huai army who fought to the death, otherwise, why don't you keep it for the New Year?"

After scolding, he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Zhichao's braid.

With a strong pull, the guy's round neck was exposed. He raised the knife and cut off Ye Zhichao's head.

At this moment, this guy's face was full of fear and pleading, as well as deep regret.

Before the three of them could move forward, the Qing Army in the direction of Pingchao City became restless again, with hundreds of people galloping towards this side with great difficulty.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be the embarrassed Nie Shicheng, Ma Yukun, Yuan Datou and others.

They were in the process of retreating in embarrassment when they heard that there was a kid blocking the way ahead.

Immediately ignoring his exhaustion, he rushed up with Goshiha, who was not around much, planning to come and organize the manpower to fight his way out.

As a result, after hurriedly arriving, we saw such a situation.

He quickly stopped a hundred steps away, his face full of confusion and panic.

Seeing this, he took Ye Zhichao's head in one hand. After Han Jiang raised it high in his hand, he shouted loudly to them in the distance with his dantian filled with anger:

“Listen, everyone, my and Wednesday’s names are fake.

A year ago, on the orders of Hu Ertong, the leader of the Xuange camp, I came to the dynasty to lurk in order to thwart the little devil's conspiracy to annex my flower-growing family and the vassal country today.

Naturally, I, Xuange Camp, will be responsible for fighting the little devils.

Now, we don’t want you to join our Xuange camp immediately, but you must put down your weapons and obey the rules. In the future, the money will be paid off and you can leave safely. "

After the voice fell, and after waiting for about ten seconds, a voice shouted. The owner of the voice was none other than Sheng Jun, the soldier Zhao Youfu who wanted to repay them after eating their fish soup and bacon:

"I've heard it since I was a child. The grandfathers in Xuange camp say everything they say, and I'm willing to believe it~"

While talking, he walked over and threw away a rifle in his hand.

With him taking the lead, more and more Sheng troops came over and put down their weapons; or many of them had no weapons at all.

I saw more and more people laying down their weapons and surrendering.

Nie Shicheng, Ma Yukun, Yuan Datou and others all voted. After looking at each other, they all saw the helplessness that there was no other way.

He could only drive his horse up and throw down the pistol and waist knife.

About six hours later, after a short rest, the little devils pursued the troops and hurriedly arrived here.

and the second regiment disguised as the Sheng Army, the two sides fought here for two hours; because they came lightly armed and had no heavy firepower at all, they naturally could not hit the defense line with Maxim heavy machine guns.

In the end, they could only give up the pursuit and retreat for the time being to rest.

Wait until the weather is better before bringing artillery to attack.

At this point, the Battle of Pyongyang City was completely over. Because of the intervention of Xuan Ge Battalion, the outcome of the battle finally became a little different.

At least the Japanese had no choice but to crush the defeated troops and fight all the way to the Yalu River before giving up.

The next thing that will come soon is the naval battle in Dadonggou; I don’t know what the result will be and what changes will happen because of the addition of Xuange Battalion.

It was also on this day that Lao Ma, a newbie, rushed to the court after receiving the telegram.

Because the team needs him to give full play to his expertise and do a good job in ideological work for Nie Shicheng and others, so that they can turn against Da Qing and fall into the embrace of Xuange Camp.

This point is very important for the subsequent main mission of overthrowing Daqing...

*******

Time: September 9, at 17: in the morning, on the sea surface of Dadonggou.

When the Beiyang Fleet and the United Island Fleet, the lookouts on the masts of both sides shouted at the top of their lungs almost at the same time:

"Smoke was found ahead. There were at least three warships. We discovered Qing Kingdom's fleet~"

"No, there's the little devil's fleet ahead~"

In such a shrill cry, the spirits of everyone in the fleets on both sides tensed up instantly; all sailors entered combat status under the orders of the officers.

Regarding the emergence of this scene, it can be regarded as some good changes caused by the emergence of Xuange Camp.

Because in the original history, the Beiyang Fleet burned low-quality coal, which caused the black smoke to rise. Its whereabouts were discovered by the United Fleet almost an hour ago, and they prepared for battle in advance.

This time, thanks to the high-quality 'five-tank coal' they provided in advance, both parties were on the same starting line.

At the same time, next to an uninhabited island about thirty nautical miles away, the three warships of the Xuange Camp Squadron were also approaching at full speed.

While sailing at high speed, Hu Biao and the others also threw a large number of branches and leaves from the battleship into the sea.

They had arrived at such a sea area at night two days ago. With such a camouflage method, they had successfully remained undetected.

Now it's time to rush towards the battlefield and kill the little Japanese's joint fleet.

After discovering their opponents, neither Beiyang nor the island nation had any intention of retreating, and continued to approach each other in preparation for a fight.

As they approached each other, the Beiyang fleet changed from a double vertical formation to a horizontal formation.

The flagship Dingyuan is located in the center, and the other ships are deployed to the left and right of it. The fleet is in a wedge-shaped echelon, that is, all the ships are lined up in a row, and the bows of the ships are moving forward towards the United Fleet of the island countries.

However, due to the different speeds of many ships in the fleet, this horizontal formation actually turned into a herringbone formation.

Among them, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, these two ironclad ships were in the middle and the front position.

The four slowest warships, including the Jiyuan, Guangjia, Chaoyong, and Yangwei, need to move to the farthest wing positions.

Because of the speed, it was gradually dragged to the last position of the left wing and the left wing.

On the island nation's side, the First Guerrilla Fleet, composed of four ships including Yoshino, Naniwa, Takachiho, and Akitsusu, rushed to the forefront with a speed of up to 15 knots.

However, judging from their trajectory, they should be preparing to start a circuitous attack on the flanks.

The main fleet, with the Songdao as its flagship, was dragged a little behind and formed a single column array.

In comparison, the formation adopted by Beiyang can only use the main gun on the bow; therefore, comparing the tactics between the two sides, it is obvious that the Japanese side has an advantage.

At 12:50, when the two sides were 5300 meters away, the Dingyuan ship fired first and hit nothing.

A few minutes later, a shell fired by the Songdao, the flagship of the United Fleet, hit the Dingyuan Observation Tower of the Dingyuan, the flagship of the Beiyang Fleet.

Admiral Ding Ruchang, who was supervising the battle on the observation deck, was unable to direct the battle because "the right side of his head and neck were burned".

Then, the combined fleet greeted them with another salvo, knocking down Admiral Ding's flag and destroying the signaling rigging.

From this moment on, the signal flag of the Dingyuan ship had no reason to send out. In the following battle, other warships could only follow the Dingyuan ship instinctively, and the fleet lost command and contact.

Regarding these situations, they are similar to those in history; it can only be said that in the dark, the inertia of history is astonishingly terrifying...
