Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 270 Facing the Fortress
"The angle of fire increases, the target is those shield vehicles!"

The technical content of the 75mm infantry support artillery used by the Ming army is naturally inferior to that of the infantry artillery used by Germany and Japan during World War II. Not only is it less powerful, but also has a short range, but in this era, it is definitely an invincible killer.

After the technological evolution of artillery, it immediately became an important element in shaping land warfare. Although machine guns are also very important, what really changes the tactics and form of ground warfare is becoming more and more dense and powerful. artillery.

Under the influence of Bai Mingxiu's PLA tactics before the crossing, the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army also obviously embarked on a road of artillery.Emphasizing the density of firepower, the coordination of infantry and artillery, and the mobility of artillery, it can be said that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army is the essence of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army to a certain extent.

A round of shells drew a curve, directly passed the low shield car, and directly hit the back of the shield car.Although the artillerymen of the Ming army were very accurate in their artillery skills, it is not enough to say that they could land directly behind the shield vehicle, but as long as they hit somewhere, the impact caused by the explosion was enough to kill the Qing army hiding behind the shield vehicle very well. Soldier.

The technology tree of the shield car was relatively prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, but it did not develop after the Qing Dynasty. Obviously, people have realized that the development of this thing is just a dead end.But now it's the Qing army's turn. They are desperate and want to use all available methods to resist the powerful Ming army.Therefore, it is rational for the development to appear in this shield car.

However, the Qing army is still in a state of ignorance of the tactics of the Ming army.In fact, in a normal war, the difference in the level of technology between the two sides would not be so huge, and mutual exchanges, even the torture of prisoners and the defection of personnel would allow both sides to learn enough information.However, in the Ming and Qing wars that had been fought for almost two years, the Qing army did not win a single victory against the Ming and Restoration Army, not even a partial victory.Coupled with the high degree of organization in the construction of the Ming army, it was even more impossible for the Qing army to easily incite the officers and soldiers of the Ming army to rebel.

Under the cover of the Ming army's artillery, the infantry began to charge, and the battle was soon over. The anticipation army sent by Luo Tuo was quickly eliminated.

But at this time, Luo Tuo was nowhere to be seen in the fortress at Dagukou.

The artillery fire at the top of the city was so intense that Luo Tuo had no choice but to turn from the top of the city into the fortress.Facing the Dagukou Fortress, there were twelve main battleships of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army Navy, bombarded indiscriminately by hundreds of artillery pieces.

The most terrifying thing is the 240mm cannon of Donghai. Although the technical level is relatively old, it is only equivalent to the artillery during the Sino-Japanese War, but the power of this cannon is enough to shake any fortress.

"How can the Ming army have so many cannons, and they are so powerful!" Luo Tuo felt the vibration in the fortress, and kept seeing various buildings in the fortress collapsed due to the impact of the shelling, and there were panicked people everywhere in the fortress. Army, if it wasn't for his personal soldiers to suppress, I am afraid that some soldiers would open the city gate and escape.

The fortress of Dagukou is a place to die!
"I can't fight, I can't fight!" The veterans and officers who had fought many battles with the Ming army and the peasant army were all pale. When facing the enemy, they found that the enemy's might was far beyond their imagination.

This side of the sea.

"The top of the city is basically clear, Your Highness, shall we start attacking the fortress?" Sister Lion can see the situation of the top of the city clearly without binoculars.

Bai Mingxiu took a look and saw that the fortress of Dagukou had been almost bombed, but his fleet had been bombing for more than an hour. Bai Mingxiu himself was very surprised at the output of such firepower.Of course, the rate of fire of the artillery of the Ming army is also limited, and it is necessary to cool down the barrel after firing for a period of time.However, the Dagukou Fortress has been damaged in many places, which does not prevent the soldiers from entering.

"Let's get started, we're in a hurry."

Finally, the fleet led by Bai Mingxiu also began to put down the small sampans one after another. The soldiers of the Great Ming Fuguo Army who were recharging their energy and fighting spirit crouched in the sampans, staring intently at the shore, and began their journey. login.

The troops landing from Beitang waited for the friendly forces and launched the final attack on the fortress together.

Inside the fortress, Loto stood covered in blood, with black ashes on his face, this veteran knew that he would die here no matter what.

"Little ones, follow me, killing one is enough money, killing a pair is profitable, if you want to destroy my Qing Dynasty, destroy my Manchuria, you have to wade over my corpse!"

There are still quite a few Qing troops in the Dagukou Fortress. Although the shelling has made it difficult for them to gain a foothold on the fortress wall and caused a lot of casualties, since most of the officers here are Tartars, they know that they are completely There is no room for surrender, so there is no choice but to fight to the death.

Luo Tuo is full of fighting spirit, even though this is already a flashback before his death, but Luo Tuo firmly believes that he will die a glorious and great death.

You Long, who had been promoted from the battalion commander of the Red Police Battalion to the commander of the Independent Guards Brigade, curled his lips while facing the fortress.

"There are probably quite a few people inside, and no white flags have been raised up to this point. It is estimated that most of the people inside are Tatars."

"Brigade Commander, what should we do? If we attack like this, the narrow terrain inside may cause unfavorable situation in street fighting and increase the casualty rate of our army?"

You Long smiled contemptuously, and said: "We will squat here and play street fighting with the Qing army? They are not worthy."

You Long waved his hand and said, "Apply to the headquarters for approval to use special type II weapons."

The staff officer next to him trembled when he heard it, and immediately said: "Yes!"

Bai Mingxiu, who was on board the East China Sea, heard the application from You Long, and said, "You Long is also vicious."

Sister Shi said something for You Long: "This is a very normal judgment. We can't determine what the situation is inside the fortress. It is still very dangerous to send troops in hastily."

Bai Mingxiu nodded and said, "The development of the special series of weapons was based on this consideration."

The so-called special-type series of weapons are non-standard weapons that were equipped in the troops of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army and were used in very special situations.And these weapons have a common characteristic, that is, they are basically very inhumane.

Special Type II weapon is the code name of the incendiary bomb used by the Ming army.

Since Nanming under the rule of Bai Mingxiu has initially established an early chemical industry, it has the ability to produce some very terrible things in war. Incendiary bombs of gasoline and yellow phosphorus.

"Burn him to death!"
