Chapter 57
The Yellow River outside the city is only two or three hundred meters wide in a narrow place.
The width is only five or six hundred meters.
At this time, there were hundreds of small boats floating on the river, and each small boat was full of soldiers.
Apparently, they encountered reinforcements arranged from the north.
"Prepare for battle!" commanded the battalion commander in a loud voice
Afterwards, all the fighters immediately looked for a suitable position, lay on the ground, and entered the combat state.
"Free fire! Fight!!".
Bang, bang, bang,
bang!!
The battalion commander gave the order, and countless bullets suddenly poured towards the small boat on the river.
Immediately, countless soldiers were shot and fell, and the unfortunate ones fell directly from the boat into the river.
If you fall into the water, you probably won't be able to survive even if you don't die.
After all, other people don't have time to save people.
Attacked, the soldiers on the ship hurriedly crouched down.
The shield soldiers in front of them also hurriedly raised their shields.
However, the shields of this era were either rattan shields or wooden shields with one or two layers of iron sheets added.
It doesn't stop a rifle bullet at all.
There were several large ships, and the soldiers hid in the cabins, not knowing the exact location of the soldiers.
However, modern troops do have bazookas.
Whoa!Whoa
!
Several bazookas flew near the waterline of several large ships.
Boom, boom!!boom!!
How can these wooden ships withstand the explosive power of modern high-explosive charges?
The big ship, which was cared for by the bazooka, was directly blown to pieces and then slowly sank into the water.
Although the Qing army on the river was afraid, there was no Ming Jin in the rear, so they naturally did not dare to retreat.
Otherwise, if you retreat, you will be hacked to death by the Overseers.
The Yan and Huang rebels kept tilting bullets at the river, and from time to time a few rockets blew the boats on the river to pieces.
They didn't call for backup.
One battalion had five hundred fighters.
Each fighter carried three or four hundred rounds of ammunition, in addition to weapons such as bazookas and grenades.
Although some ammunition was consumed during the previous attack on Jiran.
But shooting targets like this and killing another 60,000 or 70,000 people is no problem.
Across the Yellow River.
"Report!!, my lord, the troops crossing the river have been intercepted by the enemy on the other side of the river, and have suffered heavy losses!" a herald hurriedly ran into Aobai's military tent.
"Do you know what happens if you lie about the military situation?" Ao Bai sat on the commander's seat, looking at the herald in front of him with a cold expression.
"Big ...... The enemy's muskets and artillery were so powerful that many ships were sunk by the enemy's artillery!!" The herald hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright.
"Your Excellency, you can indeed hear the sound of enemy artillery. Presumably they removed the red-coated cannons from the city walls. A military attache said.
"My lord, the enemy has red-coated cannons, and we also have red-coated cannons, and the one that hits Teniang is it!" said another military attaché.
"Hahahaha! yes, Bang Te Damn!".
"Pass the order, order the gunners to shell the rebels on the other side!" Ao Bai ordered.
This time, he set off from the capital with his own yellow flag, as well as 40,000 ancient iron horses, and more than a dozen red-clothed cannons.
Along the way, another 40,000 local green battalion troops were mobilized.
The entire counterinsurgency army exceeded 90,000 people!
Because there are too many soldiers and horses, logistics are not easy, and it is difficult to transport red-coated artillery.
That's why it took half a month to reach the edge of the Yellow River.
It took a day to collect boats to cross the river, but as soon as he crossed the river, he was intercepted by rebels.
made Ao Bai angry, and even exacerbated the dissatisfaction with Han officials.
More than half a month ago, the rebels took control of the area south of the Yangtze River.
How long has it been? It's been south of the Yellow River!
Sure enough, the Han people are unreliable!
If you want to fight, you have to rely on their Eight Banners!
?? On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Yan and Huang troops were still blocking the enemy forces on the river.
Suddenly, a series of artillery sounds were heard from the other side.
Then I saw a dozen black dots smashing across the river.
That's an enemy shell!
Knock, knock, knock......
The black iron balls smashed into the ground with a dull crashing sound.
Fortunately, no one was hit by the iron ball.
After all, the enemy does not know their exact location.
All the guns were fitted with flame suppressors, and now it was daylight again, and it was impossible to judge their position on the other side of the river.
Only when the bazooka is fired will the shooter's position be revealed.
Obviously, the boar-skinned artillery was not on target, so it missed anyone.
However, the threat of artillery could not be ignored.
?? The enemy's shells were solid, not flowering, which is a little thankful.
But once a solid bullet hits a person, it will definitely not survive.
So.
"Communicator!!Call for fire support!!" shouted the battalion commander over the radio.
"Understood!!".
The correspondent immediately informed the headquarters of the shelling of them by the enemy.
At the same time, the coordinates of the enemy's artillery can be marked by individual soldiers and terminals, and artillery strikes are requested.
?? Because the enemy heavy firepower in large cities began to increase.
Therefore, in order to better destroy the enemy, the country also sent a lot of artillery units to the Nanming plane.
Almost every front-line unit was accompanied by at least one artillery battery.
Troops attacking large cities will even be equipped with artillery battalions.
Therefore, helicopters with bazookas were not needed to deal with enemy artillery, except in the early days.
One round of shelling, the artillery on the walls of the enemy was gone.
Less than three minutes after the signal corps called for fire support, the artillery shells hit the red-coated artillery positions of the Qing soldiers.
Boom, boom, boom!!
After it was determined through the reconnaissance drone that all the red-coated cannons were cleared, the commander of the artillery battalion also ordered the artillery to adjust the muzzles and shell the enemy's main tent.
Boom, boom, boom!!
It's not to blame them for stealing heads.
It's really that the number of artillery appearances is too small, and they can't get any military merits.
In many cases, artillery was not needed at all, and the assault troops took the city.
It was not easy for someone to call for artillery support, and the artillery unit had no choice but to grab the head.
Ao Bai and his men were waiting for good news from the front in his military tent.
A single shell smashed into the military tent.
Boom !!
