Chapter 1441 The power of the Marine Corps

Before the war began, Hou Jin believed that the fortress defense line under his control should be equipped with relatively strong defense capabilities. If Haihan tried to penetrate this defense line, he would inevitably pay a huge price. However, the battlefield trend after the war made General Hou Jin also

Hugely shocked, Haihan had no intention of using hand-to-hand siege methods to attack this line of defense that Hou Jin had painstakingly managed. Instead, he unreasonably used a large number of artillery pieces to attack this line of defense from a relatively long distance.

There were two main entrances and exits on the mountain, and the cavalry sent by Hou Jin to fight were easily repelled.

If the rhythm of the war continues as it is, Yangu Li will not panic. After all, behind the fortress defense line is the Houjin control area. Combat supplies are much easier than the Haihan army coming across the sea. As long as the defense line can be held

It goes without saying that the longer this battle lasts, the more opportunities Houjin will have to reverse the situation.

However, Haihan's tactics did not follow common sense. While he spread out two positions on the frontal battlefield to absorb Houjin's main force, he also sent a team from the sea to land behind the defense line. When Yangu Li realized that the team behind him

The Haihan Army's intention was not just to harass, but the opponent was already rapidly approaching the fortress defense line. Based on the current battlefield situation, Yangu Li really didn't have much confidence if he wanted to fight enemies from both the north and the south at the same time. So he could only choose

The relatively weak side started here, hoping to drive the Haihan army behind them back to the sea as soon as possible, so that they could concentrate on dealing with the enemies 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 Azig's notice, Yanguli himself felt that such an arrangement was not enough.

Unstable, he brought another two thousand people over early in the morning in order to solve the hidden danger behind it in one fell swoop.

However, when the Jin army led this group and rushed to the local area, they found that Haihan's cavalry troops had disappeared. Only the very conspicuous beachhead position was still standing on the seaside. The artillery positions on the position had changed from the two in yesterday's news to

Six places.

"Where are the Haihan cavalry?" Yangguli asked worriedly to his men who had been sent here yesterday.

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

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

Yangu Li whipped the riding crop across his head and face before he could finish his words. Regardless of the reason, losing the surveillance target so easily was an unforgivable mistake. What's more, the cavalry he sent in advance had obvious strength advantages.

As a result, the opponent was able to get away from the enemy's surveillance without a sound. This was undoubtedly a crime of delaying the fighter's opportunity. Even if the officer in charge was immediately pulled off his horse and beheaded, it would be appropriate.

In fact, after the Haihan Cavalry left last night, the Jin Army's surveillance still took some trouble. After nightfall, they first returned to the beachhead, then wrapped all the horses' hooves in thick cloth in the dark, and quietly left when the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Fortunately, the cavalry battalion did not have many people, and the night operation did not cause much noise. In addition, Jin's side did not expect that the Haihan cavalry would leave the beachhead position, so they were able to implement this bold tactic.

Then when Jin realized that something was wrong, it was already dawn. If he had been allowed to run away for such a long time, he was afraid that the Haihan Cavalry would already be twenty or thirty miles away. How could he find them at this time?

Traces. When Yangu Li came over with his troops, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, searching for the whereabouts of the Haihan Cavalry.

After Yang Guli vented his anger with a few whips, he 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 by land for the time being.

, so no matter how hard they worked, Yangu Li believed that they had to return to the seaside in the end and take those damn sailing boats to retreat to the south of the fortress defense line. Even if they wanted to fight a protracted war, the supplies would have to be transported from the sea. In short, they would have to break away.

This is the beachhead. As long as we keep an eye on this place, the Haihan cavalry will come back sooner or later. But if we can cut off their passage to the seaside, then no matter how hard this cavalry can fight, they will never be able to consume several times its strength, and

The Houjin Army took advantage of the home court.

Yangu Li 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. Due to limited troop strength, this encirclement was not too tight, but

It is impossible for a cavalry of hundreds of people to pass through silently.

Now that he was here, of course Yangu Li also wanted to try to attack this beachhead, but the artillery on the position made him wary, so he specifically ordered that he only needed to feint to lure the opponent to fire, and there was no need to charge desperately.

And the subsequent battle situation proved that his caution was necessary. After the cavalry rushed into the distance of a hundred feet, the sound of artillery was heard on the beachhead, and several artillery shells roared through the air, hitting the few who were rushing at the front.

The cavalry company and its horses were beaten into a pile of dregs. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining cavalry immediately adjusted their direction and left the fighting zone.

"You should keep charging!" Wang Tom watched the rear golden cavalry rush into range and immediately broke away. He was very unwilling at the moment.

He wished that the thousands of Jin troops on the outside would make a desperate charge towards the beachhead, so that the efficiency of harvesting enemy lives would be higher. Although only six artillery pieces were deployed on the position, there were actually six hidden gun emplacements.

, a total of twelve field guns were deployed on this beachhead, and there was fire cover from the sea behind it. Therefore, Wang Tom did not feel too nervous about Hou Jin's siege. Instead, he hoped that Hou Jin could

Take the initiative to launch an offensive.

In addition to wanting to eliminate more enemies in the current battlefield environment, Wang Tom also has another mission, which is to attract the firepower of the Jin army here so that the cavalry battalion can carry out its combat mission across the inland.

After Harugong led the cavalry battalion to break away from the surveillance of the Jin Army last night, he first detoured to the north and rested in a mountain forest until dawn, then turned and headed west for a while, and then headed south towards the fortress.

The cavalry battalion came from the direction of the defense line. The cavalry battalion made a large circle, avoiding the Houjin patrol posts who were 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 force would come out from behind them. They were caught off guard and were beaten to pieces by the Haihan Cavalry Battalion that was speeding past. They were only killed and wounded by rifles.

There were nearly a hundred people. In the chaos, the Houjin Army, which rushed to the battle, even injured many people under the hooves of its own cavalry. By the time they arranged the chaotic formation, the Haihan cavalry had already voluntarily left the battlefield.

, headed northwest.

The garrison at the stronghold that was attacked did not pursue it, nor did it not pursue it. Their task was to guard this stronghold, and they were always ready to add the fortress defense line to resist the attack from the south. But at this time, the enemy troops appeared inexplicably.

To the north, if we divide our forces to chase, the defense of the stronghold will become weak. No one knows whether this is Haihan's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If we don't pursue it, the death of these people will be completely in vain, and they will lose everything.

There was no way to explain the enemy's movements to Yangu Li when he turned around.

In the end, under the dilemma, the garrison here only detached more than 20 cavalry to fall behind the Haihan cavalry in order to grasp its next move. However, pursuit and suppression are out of the question. If there are fewer people, they will not be able to defeat them.

There were too many delays, so I simply gave up on this plan.

The cavalry battalion did not fight back, but headed west towards Sujiapu under the leadership of Harugong. Similar to other strongholds, Sujiapu had a large number of troops gathered here, but they did not fully consider

The offensive came from behind. When the Haihan Army came all the way from a distance, many people even thought that this might be another reinforcement force transferred from Jinzhou or other state capitals. It was not until this cavalry arrived nearby that

Finally, someone saw that they were not dressed as members of their own family, and then raised the alarm.

But before the golden cavalry could mount their horses to fight, they were hit by a hail of bullets. The huddled cavalry had no room to dodge, so the outermost cavalry became living shields and were eaten by force.

Countless bullets. Although many people shouted "enemy attack", only a few knights rushed out to fight, and they were often knocked down by whizzing bullets as soon as they appeared. After waiting, the Jin army finally

After adjusting and starting to fight, the Haihan cavalry had left the battlefield as quickly as a strong wind.

Harugong hasn't had such a refreshing combat experience for a long time. Although the cavalry battalion he led performed many combat missions in the battle before the winter last year, they were all focused on cover, warning, reconnaissance and other tasks.

Lord, it is true that there are very few opportunities for a battalion to attack the opponent on a frontal battlefield. This time to fight deep behind enemy lines is probably the riskiest mission since the establishment of the cavalry battalion. When formulating the battle plan, Harugong also tried to

It took a long time to convince other generals to let him personally lead the army to attack. This was originally just a backup battle plan, but after a suitable battlefield environment appeared by mistake, Harugong decisively put this paper plan into practice.

Just as they had judged when formulating the battle plan, although the Hou Jin 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 by the Hou Jin generals directly led to their lack of corresponding battle preparations.

, when the Haihan cavalry appeared, they didn't even have time to organize a decent resistance, and they had already suffered a wave of attacks from their opponents. The Haihan cavalry's hit-and-run tactics made the Houjin army lose the point, and they could not predict Haihan's next step.

What will the action be like?

News that the defense line was attacked by Haihan cavalry one after another finally reached Yanguli about two hours later, and he also realized that the beachhead set up by Haihan was intended to attract his attention to cover the cavalry.

Launch a massive attack in the interior. If you continue to wait like this, the Haihan people will not be in chaos, but the fortress defense line under your command will be in chaos first. Yangu Li decided not to wait any longer and try to force the cavalry out as soon as possible.

OK.

The only feasible method 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 can be retained at this time,

, which can also boost morale to a certain extent, and you may even be able to capture Haihan's generals, and then you will have bargaining chips with Haihan.

So he set aside 500 cavalry to coordinate outside, and asked the rest of the troops to launch an offensive towards the Haihan beachhead from the north, west and south. However, in his haste, he could not come up with any novel tactics, and the cavalry still led the infantry.

A common way to follow up.

"Finally here!" Wang Tom was not nervous when he saw such a scene, but was excited. How the Jin Army would react after being attacked by cavalry, the staff had carefully calculated in advance, and the situation at this time was also

In the middle of it, there are corresponding means waiting for them.

After the Jin army moved closer, the six hidden artillery positions finally revealed their ferocious features. As soon as the twelve artillery came up, they all used grape bullets with a large killing area as their main attack. As the sound of the artillery sounded, they formed a formation and charged.

After arriving, the golden cavalry fell in pieces, with almost no corpses left. The cavalry who were lucky enough to rush nearby discovered that there were dense crisscrossing barbed wire waiting for them outside the beachhead. Many of them were waiting for them.

The war horse couldn't stop and stumbled directly onto it, and then the man and the horse fell into the barbed wire fence. The more they struggled, the tighter they became. They could only wait helplessly for the Haihan soldiers behind the bunker to reload their guns.

In just one meeting, the Houjin Cavalry had already lost more than two hundred horses. This scene made Yangguli's face turn from black to green, and then from green to white. It's not that he couldn't afford to lose these men and horses, but like this

The enemy couldn't even touch the sides before falling in pieces. No matter how hard-blooded he was, he felt that this speed of battle damage was too much to bear.

Wang Tom didn't think so much. Seeing that he could control the situation relatively well, he also took a rifle and joined the battle. The rifle he used was a version specially customized by the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, and the shooting accuracy was naturally high.

It is better than the models installed by the army. It can target enemies within 100 meters with almost no miss. In a short time, the number of enemies injured by him has exceeded double digits.

Although Houjin continued to attack, Haihan's weapon advantage was too great, and the enemy-killing efficiency of the two sides was not at the same level. Even if they continued to move forward under Yangguli's supervision, they still could not catch up with Haihan's guns.

The speed of killing. After a cup of tea, the corpses of the Hou Jin army and war horses were already densely packed around the beachhead. The strong smell of blood filled the air at the seaside, making the soldiers on both sides of the battle more and more manic.
