3 Ways to Go Together
Chapter 1428
Thunder, heavy rain and small bombardment have limited killing effect, but the deterrent effect is very ideal.After the hasty response of the Jin army, they immediately became confused. Most of them chose to retreat under the threat of artillery fire, while the few who tried to stay on the coast and resisted were difficult to resist the rapid landing offensive of the Haihan army. .
The seven troop transport ships quickly headed for the coast, and bullets continued to be fired at the rear gold soldiers on the shore from the firing positions at the bow.Although the undulations of the hull make it difficult for the soldiers on board to really aim at the target, the intensity of firepower output makes up for this deficiency to a certain extent.As the gunshots continued to sound, the Jin soldiers who were trying to prevent the landing of the Haihan Army fell into the rain of bullets one after another.
The sparse arrows could not stop the Haihan troop transport ship from approaching the shore. Seeing that nothing could be done, the remaining Jin soldiers could only choose to retreat to the direction of the hills, at least there were mountains and forests that could provide them with cover.Moreover, occupying this height, it seems that there is still a fighting force in the face of the Haihan army that has come ashore.
"The enemy troops stationed in the north should have heard the sound of the artillery just now, so there is not much time left for us to attack this hill. Before the enemy reinforcements arrive, we must take it as soon as possible!" Morgan resolutely told the officer on the beachhead. They gave orders.
Landing here is the army battalion originally stationed in Fukuyama County, plus the sniper team brought by Morgan, and the [-] sailors drawn by the navy. There are more than [-] troops, including an artillery company and an engineer. Company and about twenty cavalry.Although there are not many troops, the configuration of arms is quite complete, and it is more than enough to build a position.
The army battalion's combat strategy was to advance in accordance with standard tactics. First, long-range firepower points were built, and Morgan's sniper team was responsible for the long-range firepower output. Then the infantry opened the front line and advanced from the west, where the slope of the hill was relatively gentle, to the hilltop.
Since the post-Jin army did not build fortifications on the mountain in advance, Morgan did not intend to wait for the artillery to be transported ashore before launching the offensive.At first, the Houjin Army took advantage of the geographical advantage to shoot two waves of arrows from high places, but the Houjin soldiers who tried to escape from the forest and aimed at the target below the mountain became the living targets of the Haihan snipers.As a result, the Houjin army could only helplessly retreat into the woods and try not to show their shadows, but in this way, they could only use aimless projectile tactics, and the number of Houjin archers on the mountain was far from reaching the covered projectile tactics. Needed, it is naturally difficult to cause large-scale killings to the Haihan army who came over.
Moreover, Morgan had already predicted the tactics of the Houjin Army in advance, so the attacking troops were dispersed in advance, so only a few arrows shot from the mountain hit the attacking Haihan soldiers.
The rear golden cavalry at the foot of the mountain tried to launch a wave of counterattacks, but they did not find any chance at all in front of the Haihan Musketeers who were waiting. The chance to attack the Haihan beachhead can only be turned around and escape the range of the Haihan musket first.
Without the cover on the plain, it was difficult for the more than 100 post-Golden soldiers who were stubbornly resisting on the hill to resist the besieging Haihan troops on their own.Even if there are brave people who try to rush to fight, they are still greeted by bullets flying at high speed, and there is no chance to fight in close quarters.As long as he is shot and falls down, he will be stabbed by sharp military bayonets soon, and often several bayonets will stab him at the same time, without even a chance to resist.
The resistance on the top of the hill lasted only about 10 minutes, and then it was wiped out by the Haihan infantry who attacked.Morgan ordered a careful search of the mountain in case there were any remaining Houjin soldiers hiding in the forest.The engineers quickly entered the foot of the mountain facing north, and transformed the abandoned village, which was previously used as the stronghold of Houjin, into a line of defense.Morgan's sniper team quickly went to the top of the mountain to deploy firepower. They had already figured out the terrain when they came here for reconnaissance.
The Jin soldiers who were able to escape resolutely rode away, but in the end, more than a dozen people were exhausted and captured, but there were no officers who knew military intelligence.Morgan asked his subordinates who were fluent in Manchu to interrogate him for a while, but he didn't ask any valuable information.Morgan originally wanted to shoot all these prisoners, but then he thought that the free slaves were not for nothing. At this time, they were used to build fortifications and dig trenches, and immediately asked the soldiers to escort these people to the position as coolies.
As for the follow-up, Morgan didn't plan to leave any way out for these barbarian soldiers. Anyway, they were either shot or died of exhaustion or frozen to death here.According to the battle plan of the headquarters, there were no arrangements for taking prisoners during the spring offensive, which means that Haihan did not intend to keep prisoners at all. After death, they may even be sent to the medical department to practice anatomy and other craftsmanship.
It was not until after this brief battle that the field guns had to be brought ashore.Although the power and range of these six-pounder guns are relatively limited, as heavy firepower units used in strongholds, they are powerful enough to deal with the impact of a large number of infantry and even cavalry.Morgan deployed six artillery pieces on the defense line at the foot of the mountain in one go, and left two other artillery pieces as reserve candidates.
The abandoned village at the foot of the mountain was originally transformed by the Houjin Army as a stronghold. After Haihan captured it, he only needed to deploy artillery positions at key positions, and then use trenches, barbed wire and other means to seal the passages to and from the village. Basically formed a semi-closed stronghold.The sniper shooting position on the mountain has a better field of vision, and can provide long-range firepower cover for the stronghold under the mountainside. It is the three-dimensional firepower net that the Haihan Army likes to use.
Of course, due to the lack of suitable building materials in a hurry, the defense network that can be constructed by this kind of temporary project is still relatively simple, but relying on the combat experience of the Haihan Army and advanced weapons and equipment, it is necessary to deal with the equipment and still use cold weapons. It would not be too difficult for the post-Jin army to be the master.
The hundreds of soldiers who landed here landed quickly, but it took a lot of time to get the various combat supplies and provisions ashore. However, Morgan believed that there were many gunboats providing fire cover near the shore. , and I am not worried that a rear golden cavalry will suddenly be able to destroy the comprehensive supply ship on the coast.
To be honest, with such a powerful fleet to escort this landing operation, even Morgan felt that it was a bit overkill.After the Jin Army's naval armed forces are running out, they dare not pull out and fight the Haihan Navy head-on.After that, the Jin Army did not have any such armed facilities as the anti-sea fort, so it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Haihan Fleet on land.Therefore, after the army was escorted in place to complete the landing, these naval ships did not have any direct effect on the next battle in the Golden State Isthmus.
If you insist on finding something for the Navy to do, it will probably only search for enemy ships along the coastline, and then sink them all, just like the Northern Fleet conducted many operations on the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula last year.It's just that there are fewer and fewer ships going to sea in Jinneng, and they are not destroyed quickly. It is difficult to find half a sail from the coastline.
However, Morgan also understands that the Navy's big move is not just for the needs of this battle, but an arrangement made after a comprehensive consideration of all aspects.After all, there is only such a battlefield north of Hainan Island. The navy would like to get more troops to come here for training. Even if there are no actual maritime opponents, at least during this period of combat missions can allow the navy officers to maintain a A better combat situation.
From another point of view, this battle is mainly fought on land, and it is destined that the navy can only play a supporting role. If you don’t win a little more drama, then when the credit is recorded after the war, most of the credit for the Golden State Battle will be credited. It's all about the Army.And the senior officers of the Navy headed by Tom Wang didn't want to sit back and watch such a situation happen. Naturally, they wanted to find some way to benefit their own camp.For example, sending a huge fleet to escort and provide fire cover for the landing force, such as letting the marines affiliated to the navy also participate in the combat operations after the landing, in short, cut out a piece of this cake and keep it for yourself.
As a general in command of the Western Route Army, Morgan didn't mind the Navy's plans.Although he is a sniper instructor, he should be regarded as an army general, but in fact, several members of the North American Gang had relatively comprehensive navigational knowledge and skills, so the early navy was mainly the North American Gang who were commanding officers. , so Morgan is at least half of the Navy, so there is no obvious tendency in this matter.
As for Morgan's own plan, of course, it is to try to make the sniper team with him get more opportunities for actual combat on the battlefield.After all, no matter how you practice, you will kill most of the targets, and the feeling of hitting a target is completely different from killing a target. If you want to be calm on the battlefield and not shake your hands at critical moments, you must have enough actual combat experience. Row.The Ministry of National Defense has not formulated specific regulations for the killing policy of the Spring Offensive. In other words, killing is released without restrictions.With such a rare opportunity, Morgan naturally wanted to arrange the sniper team to the front of the battlefield as a weapon to defeat the enemy.Of course, there must be no lack of his own plans to have fun.
While Morgan grabbed the coastal heights, the East Route Army successfully completed the landing in Dalian Bay without any resistance, and quickly connected with the army troops advancing in the middle.So far, the troops from the east and west routes to the vicinity of the Jinzhou Isthmus have completed the landing, and the west route army has even seized favorable terrain to establish a stronghold.
At present, the Third Route Army has entered the Jinzhou Isthmus area. Among them, the West Route Army is the most prominent, only a few miles away from the main line of defense built by Houjin at the narrowest part of the Jinzhou Isthmus. position is slightly behind.This is also one of the strategies formulated by the headquarters. If Houjin tries to launch a counterattack, then they can only attack the position of the West Route Army in front of them. Otherwise, if they drive straight in, they will easily be outflanked by the West Route Army.
When formulating the battle plan, the West Route Army was placed in a dangerous area to attract firepower. The reason is naturally that there is a high ground here that can be used as an armed stronghold, and Haihan has always been quite experienced in building defense lines, so the generals are convinced of this stronghold. Enough to stop the counterattack of the enemy several times.Of course, if they couldn't bear it, the West Route Army could at least retreat to the sea, where there happened to be an idle Haihan fleet that could provide them with a safe retreat route.
There is also a more extreme possibility that the Houjin army, after realizing the horror of the three-way attack of the Haihan army, wisely chose not to retreat, waiting for the Haihan army to attack their painstaking defense line.In that case, these expressions in front of Haihan are in vain, and then the vital strength of the Jin army can be preserved to the greatest extent, which may cause more trouble to Haihan in the later battle, which is not what Haihan hoped to see. to the scene.
But the generals agreed that this possibility is unlikely. If Houjin can be so calm, he may no longer be simply regarded as a barbarian soldier in the future.In the future, Jin's aggressiveness, knowing that Haihan has stepped into his house with one foot, must be to send troops to fight, and the plan of the generals of Haihan is to cause as much damage as possible when they send troops. , so that it can save a lot of energy when attacking its Golden State defense line later.
Morgan sent all the few cavalry under his command, within a limit of five miles, and let the cavalry serve as sentries on the periphery.On the outside of the village on the north side of the highland, construction continued as soon as possible. Before the arrival of the enemy, it would be beneficial to dig an extra trench, bury an extra piece of barbed wire, and tie up an extra deer village.
It must be said that the reaction of the Houjin Army was relatively quick. Just one hour after the troops commanded by Morgan occupied the high ground, the Houjin Army in the north had already sent cavalry to check the situation.This is not the Houjin army who fled back to report the news, but when the Haihan army landed earlier, the sound of the battleship's guns had already reached the distant Houjin defense line, and a team was sent over there to check the situation. I also encountered a wave of cavalry that fled back, and after the meeting, they turned back here to investigate.
The Haihan cavalry had only a few cavalry, and their strength was far less than the cavalry team assembled by the opponent. After firing a few cold shots from a distance, they took the initiative to retreat south.And the other party didn't take much effort to confirm that this highland has been completely occupied by Haihan - the red and blue flags spread out on the mountain bag fully indicate that the ownership of this place has changed hands.
However, Houjin's cavalry team did not attack again, because according to the escaped cavalry, there were at least thousands of Haihan troops who suddenly landed, and it was impossible for them to take back this cavalry with only two hundred cavalry. high ground.
