Chapter 1441 The Power of the Marine Corps
Before the war, Hou Jin believed that the fortress defense line under his control should have a relatively strong defense capability. If Haihan tried to penetrate this line of defense, he would have to pay a great price.However, the trend of the battlefield after the war shocked the general Houjin. Haihan did not intend to use the siege method of hand-to-hand combat to attack this line of defense that Houjin had painstakingly managed. Reasonably large numbers of artillery were used to attack the two main access points along the line, and the cavalry sent by Houjin was easily repulsed.

If the rhythm of the war continues like this, then Yanguli will not panic. After all, behind the fortress line of defense is the Houjin control area. It is much easier to fight and supply than the Haihan army that came across the sea. As long as the line of defense can be defended If it is not broken, the longer this battle is fought, the more opportunities Houjin will have to reverse the situation.

However, Haihan's tactics were not according to common sense. While spreading out two positions on the frontal battlefield to absorb the main force of Houjin, he sent a team from the sea to the rear of the defense line to land.When Yanguli realized that the purpose of the Haihan army behind him was more than just harassment, the other party had quickly approached the fortress line of defense.With the current battlefield situation, Yanguli really has no confidence if he wants to fight the enemies from the north and the south at the same time.Therefore, he can only choose the weaker side to start, hoping to drive the Haihan army behind him back to sea as soon as possible, and then he can concentrate on dealing with the enemy on the frontal battlefield.

Although a thousand-man cavalry had been dispatched the day before to deal with the Haihan army that suddenly appeared from behind, after receiving the notice from Azig, Yanguli himself felt that such an arrangement was a little bit In the early morning, another 2000 people rushed over to try to solve the hidden danger behind it in one fell swoop.

But when he led the Houjin army to the local area, he found that Haihan's cavalry had disappeared, and only the very conspicuous beachhead was still standing by the sea.The artillery positions on the position have changed from the two in yesterday's news to six.

"Where are the cavalry of the Haihans?" Yanguly asked worriedly to the men he had sent yesterday.

The destructive power of a highly armed cavalry is quite terrifying. Yanguli was afraid that the Haihan cavalry would disappear under his nose, so he sent cavalry in advance to monitor the enemy's movements.

But the more I was afraid of something, the more it came, I heard my subordinate say tremblingly: "I'm... looking for..."

Before he could finish his words, Yanguly slammed the whip across his face. Regardless of the reason, it was an unforgivable mistake to lose the surveillance target so easily.What's more, the cavalry he sent in advance had a clear superiority in strength. As a result, they were all silently removed from surveillance by the opponent. This was undoubtedly the crime of delaying the fighter plane. of.

In fact, after the Haihan cavalry left last night, the Jin Army's monitoring still took some effort. After nightfall, they first returned to the beachhead, then wrapped thick cloths on the hooves of all the horses in the dark, and quietly left when the moon was dark and the wind was high.Fortunately, there were not many people in the cavalry battalion, and there was not much movement in the night operation. After the addition, Jin never thought that the Haihan cavalry would leave the beachhead, and this bold tactic was able to be realized.

Then, when Jin found out that something was wrong, it was already dawn. If he let go for such a long time, the Haihan cavalry would have been twenty or thirty miles away. How could they find them in this short period of time? trace.When Yanguli brought his troops here, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, searching for the whereabouts of the Haihan cavalry.

After Yanguli took a few whips to vent his anger, his emotions quickly calmed down.Even if the Haihan cavalry slipped out of the surveillance range, they came from the sea and could not return to the south from the land for the time being, so no matter how much tossing, Yang Guli thought that they had to go back to the sea in the end and take those damned The sailboats retreated to the south of the fortress line.Even if they are going to fight a protracted war, this supply has to be brought in from the sea, in short, they can't get out of this beachhead.As long as they stare at this place, the Haihan cavalry will come back sooner or later, but if they can cut off their passage to the seaside, then no matter how this cavalry can fight, it will still consume several times as many troops and occupy the back gold of the home field advantage. military.

Yanguli quickly figured out the key, and immediately adjusted his defenses, deploying an arc-shaped encirclement based on the coastline with a radius of one mile near the Haihan beachhead.Because of the limited number of troops, the encirclement was not too tight, but it was impossible for a cavalry with hundreds of people to pass through without making a sound.

Now that he has come, Yang Guli will of course try to attack this beachhead, but the artillery on the position makes him fearful.

And the fighting situation that followed proved that his caution was necessary. After the cavalry rushed to a distance of [-] meters, the sound of cannons was heard on the beachhead. Riding with people and horses was beaten into a pile of meat dregs.The remaining cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and immediately adjusted their direction and left the battle zone.

"You guys should continue to charge!" Tom Wang saw that the golden cavalrymen rushed into the range and left immediately, and he was very unwilling at the moment.

He was eager to make a decisive charge towards the beachhead after the thousands of Houjin troops on the periphery, so that the efficiency of harvesting the enemy's life would be higher.Although only six artillery pieces were deployed on the position, there were actually six hidden artillery positions, a total of twelve field artillery pieces were deployed on this beachhead, and there was fire cover from the sea behind them. Tom Wang didn't feel too nervous about Houjin's siege, but hoped that Houjin could take the initiative to launch an offensive.

In addition to wanting to destroy more enemies in the current battlefield environment, Tom Wang also has another task to attract the firepower of the Jin Army so that the cavalry battalion can perform its combat missions interspersed with the inland.

After Harrugong took the cavalry battalion out of the Jin Army's surveillance last night, he first took a detour to the north, rested in a mountain forest until dawn, then turned and headed west for a while, then headed south toward the fortress. The direction of the line of defense came.The cavalry battalion made a big circle, avoiding the Houjin You Post, which was still searching for their whereabouts, and then attacked a small stronghold between Jijiabao and Sujiabao.

The Houjin army stationed here did not expect that an enemy army would smash out of his back. He was caught off guard by the Haihan cavalry battalion galloping past, and he was only killed and injured by the rifle. There were nearly a hundred people.And the Houjin Army, who was in a hurry to fight, was injured under the hooves of their own cavalry in the chaos. When they arranged the messy formation, the Haihan cavalry had already taken the initiative to leave the battlefield and headed to the northwest. .

This stronghold that was attacked was not pursued by the troops, nor was it not pursued.Their task was to guard the stronghold, ready to add to the fortress line against an attack from the south.But at this time the enemy army appeared inexplicably in the north, and divided troops to chase, then the defense of the stronghold would become weak, and no one knew whether this was Haihan's plan to move the tiger away from the mountain.If you don't go after him, the dead person will be dead in vain, and he has lost the movement of the enemy army, and he has no way to explain it to Yanguli when he turns back.

In the end, under the dilemma, the garrison only allocated more than 20 cavalry to fall behind the Haihan cavalry in order to grasp their next move. In order to delay things, he simply gave up the plan.

The cavalry battalion did not return to the carbine, but headed westward to Sujiabao under the leadership of Harrugon.Similar to other strongholds, there are a lot of troops gathered here in Sujiabao, but they did not fully consider the offensive from behind. When the Haihan Army came all the way from a distance, many people even thought that it might be another army. Reinforcements from the Golden State or other state capitals.It was not until the cavalry came close that someone finally saw that they were not dressed in their own family, and the alarm was issued.

It's just that before the golden cavalry mounted their horses to fight, they were first baptized by a rain of bullets. The crowded cavalry didn't even have room to dodge, so the outermost men and horses became living shields, and they ate it abruptly. Countless bullets.Although many people were shouting "enemy attack", only a few horses rushed out to fight, and they were often knocked down by the whistling bullets as soon as they emerged.After the Jin army finally adjusted and began to fight, the Haihan cavalry had already left the battlefield as quickly as a gust of wind blew past.

It has been a long time since Harrugon had such a refreshing combat experience. Although the cavalry battalion he led had performed many combat missions in the battle before the winter last year, they were all based on cover, guard, reconnaissance and other tasks. Lord, there are indeed very few opportunities for a battalion as a unit to strike an opponent on a frontal battlefield.Going deep into the enemy's back to fight this time is probably the most risky mission since the cavalry battalion was established. When formulating the battle plan, Harrugon also fought for a long time before convincing other generals to let him lead the army to attack in person.This was originally just a backup combat plan, but after a suitable battlefield environment appeared by accident, Harrugon decisively put this paper plan into practice.

Just as they judged when formulating the battle plan, although the Houjin army already knew that a small group of cavalry had landed behind the defense line, the delay in information transmission and the lack of attention of the Houjin generals directly led to their lack of corresponding combat preparations. , When the Haihan cavalry appeared, it was too late to organize a decent resistance, and it had already eaten a wave of attacks from the opponent.The Haihan cavalry's tactic of running after the fight made the Houjin army unable to grasp the point. It was impossible to imagine what Haihan's next move would be.

The news that the defense line was attacked by the Haihan cavalry finally reached Yanguli about two hours later, and he also realized that the beachhead set up by Haihan was to attract his attention to cover the cavalry. The inland attack is rampant.If you wait like this, I am afraid that the Haihan people will not be in chaos, but the fortress defense line under his command will be in chaos first. Yanguli decided not to wait, and he must try to force the cavalry team out as soon as possible.

The only feasible means at the moment is to attack this beachhead and completely cut off the cavalry's retreat.Although doing so may result in heavy casualties, Yanguli believes that if the opponent's cavalry troops can be left behind at this time, it can also boost morale to a certain extent, and maybe even capture Haihan's generals , At that time, bargaining with Haihan can also have chips available.

So he set aside five hundred cavalry outside to support, and let the rest of the troops attack the Haihan beachhead from the north, west, and south three directions.It's just that he couldn't come up with any novel tactics in a hurry, and it was still the usual routine for the cavalry to lead the infantry and follow.

"It's finally here!" Wang Tom saw such a scene, instead of being nervous, he was excited.How the Jin army would react after being attacked by the cavalry, the staff has carefully calculated beforehand, and the situation at this time is also in it, and there are corresponding measures waiting for them.

After the Jin army approached, the six concealed artillery positions finally revealed their hideous features. As soon as the twelve artillery pieces came up, they all used grape bullets with a large killing area as their main targets.With the sound of the cannons, the rear golden cavalry who rushed in formation fell in pieces, almost not even a whole corpse.And the cavalry who were lucky enough to rush to the vicinity found that there were still densely crisscrossed barbed wire waiting for them on the periphery of the beachhead. Many horses could not stop and stumbled directly on it, and then even their horses fell into the barbed wire. , the more he struggled, the tighter the entanglement became, and he could only wait helplessly for the Haihan soldiers behind the bunker to replenish their guns.

In just one meeting, the Golden Cavalry had lost more than [-] cavalry. This scene made Yanguli's face turn from black to blue, and then from blue to white.It's not that he can't afford to lose this number of troops, but like this, he fell in pieces without even touching the enemy's edge. No matter how hard he was, he felt that the speed of battle damage was too much to bear.

Tom Wang didn't think so much. Seeing that he could control the situation better, he also took a rifle and joined the battle.The rifle he uses is a specially customized version of the Ministry of Ordnance, and the shooting accuracy is naturally better than the model equipped by the army. The enemy within [-] meters is basically shot without a shot, and the enemy under his hand will be injured in a short time. has exceeded double digits.

Although Hou Jin continued to attack, Haihan's weapon advantage was too great, and the killing efficiency of the two sides was not at the same level. The speed of killing.After the battle for a cup of tea, the corpses of the Houjin Army and the war horses were already densely lying on the periphery of the beachhead.
