One hundred and three long one ri(shang)

113 A long day(shang)

However, due to the previous incident, the Qionghai was delayed for several hours. When they arrived at the target land, it was completely dark. After discussion, everyone decided not to take the risk of operating in the dark. After all, this was their first time.

Playing an amphibious landing battle at once is already very difficult, so there is no need to increase the difficulty. The Qionghai will anchor in the nearby waters for one night, and then attack again after dawn the next day.

After a quiet night, Wang Haiyang arranged many sentries to prevent sneak attacks, but it did not have any effect. In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, the Qionghai immediately took action and began to carry out the plan named "

Omaha landing operation.

First, a rubber boat with a motor was lowered into the water. Seven of the most elite commandos rode on the kayak and began to advance towards the beach. Second platoon leader Wang Haiyang personally took the lead. He would lead people to build a fire support on the beach.

This kind of caution is actually a bit unnecessary. This is not a well-defended beachhead. Except for a few fishermen who got up early in the morning, no one paid attention to this epoch-making amphibious landing operation. However, those few fishermen were really caught by the sudden attack on the sea.

The appearance of the large iron boat and the group of black-faced commandos were so frightening that they dropped their fishing nets and ran towards the Ming army camp not far away.

The commandos did not stop them. The beach they chose as the landing point was still some distance away from Baisha Water Village. The Ming army might come out to stop them, but with their speed of assembly and march, by the time the large forces arrived here

It's time to go ashore in the morning. Then it won't be up to them to decide who will hit whom.

The advance commando team quickly landed successfully, and Wang Haiyang led people directly to the direction of Baishazhai to alert and monitor the actions of the Ming army. Other follow-up troops here also boarded the ship and began to land. Their main means of transportation were three pieces of transportation moved from the Princess.

The large sampans can accommodate up to twenty people each, but they are used to carry fully armed soldiers and equipment, and can only carry one squad at a time.

Pang Yu and He Xi followed the third platoon and the first class to land first. Looking at the white sand beach that was gradually approaching, Lao Jie suddenly snorted:

"Suddenly I had a very weird thought: If there was an MG42 facing us on the opposite side..."

"Then this is the real 'Omaha'. Then we can confirm that this is actually a world of the Lord God... Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready to go ashore!"

Except for a few waves, the large sampan rushed up to the beach without any hindrance. The soldiers followed the training they had done when they were near the heights. They jumped off the boat, waded into the water, pushed the sampan to the shore, and took out their firearms. Backpacks

, bullet boxes and other equipment were draped over their bodies, and they quickly assembled on the beach.

At this time, the Ming Army's water village had also discovered them, and there was a commotion. However, the action here was very fast. It didn't take long for the two platoons to land ashore. Wang Haiyang did not directly issue an attack order.

The reason is that they are waiting for the bronze cannon to land - the cannon is dismantled and fixed on empty barrels and floating rafts, and is dragged ashore by a small boat, which is more time-consuming.

When a group of messy Ming army armed personnel finally opened the gate of the camp and rushed out. They found that the short-haired troops were already waiting outside the camp - Wang Haiyang finally had no patience to wait for the artillery to be slowly dragged ashore, because after that, there were still

It needed to be dried and assembled... He asked the artillery crew to stay and deal with all this, while he led two infantry platoons to directly look for bad luck for the Ming army in Baisha Village.

There are two platoons here, with more than seventy people. The Ming army on the opposite side has more than three hundred people who just rushed out of the camp, and I don’t know how many are inside. According to common sense, the opponent’s courage should be very strong. But, in fact,

In the eyes of both parties, their judgments on the comparison of strengths and weaknesses are almost identical...

Although the number of these short-haired soldiers is small, their unified weapons and military uniforms have shown great deterrence. The Ming army in Baisha Village has basically never directly fought against short-haired soldiers on land, but in the past few months

Various claims about the invincibility of short-haired firearms have long been spread among the local army, and have almost become myths.

"Too many! Too many! Run!"

The battle hasn't started yet, not even a shot has been fired here, and the Ming army on the opposite side has already deserted. Several people broke away from the team. They ran away in the opposite direction. However, as an army, they were in good order.

However, they were not completely defeated. Several men sprang out from behind and defeated these deserters with bows, arrows and firecrackers. They then showed their heads to the public on the spot.

The bloody heads shocked people's hearts, and the Ming army began to arrange themselves into battle formations, assuming a decisive battle posture.

Wang Haiyang has been doing nothing here, quietly watching the opponent's performance. It's not that he has never thought of attacking while the opponent's footing is not stable, but thinking that this is the first time for his subordinates to engage in actual combat, the battle line that has just been arranged should not be changed. In the end,

Decided to stop still.

More than seventy people were arranged in small groups of two or three to form a sparse skirmisher line. They used engineering shovels to dig out the sand temporarily and pile up some shooting bunkers. This was definitely not qualified according to regular infantry drills. However, it was used to deal with the rudimentary Ming army.

The long-range weapons are more than enough.

The Ming army finally began to attack. At any time, there are always some particularly brave personnel in an army. The commander of the Ming army opposite seemed to be such a person. He rushed to the front brandishing a long sword and loudly encouraged the soldiers around him.

Attacking bravely can definitely be regarded as a role model among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. However, the saying "shooting the first bird" is also designed for this kind of people...

"Bang..."

With the sound of a gunpowder gun, a bloody hole suddenly burst out in the head of the bravely charging Ming army general. It looked like just a small hole from the front, but when he took two steps forward and slumped down, everyone saw

The whole back of his head was blown off.

——The destructive power of soft lead bullets to the human body is really terrifying.

"Hey, who is so good at shooting?"

Lao Jie and others here looked up and looked around. The Ming army was still five or six hundred meters away from them. These recruits were still strictly following the instructions. They were not allowed to shoot when they were less than three hundred meters away. Looking around, it seemed that

There is no green smoke after a musket is fired.

With two "boom" sounds, two more puffs of smoke rose up from the Ming army's ranks, blowing up a large area. The artillery here hasn't been brought up yet...it's a mine, buried in the sand in advance.

"Damn it, it's Beiwei and the others! This guy's hands are still so black... He only likes to beat officers. "

Wang Haiyang finally saw who was doing it: on the side of the direction of the Ming army's attack, about two hundred meters away, on a beach where reefs and sand were mixed, between large piles of dry seaweed, there was some faint sand stirring, as if

It's a hermit crab buried in the sand.

However, the Ming army in a state of chaos was completely unable to notice the slight movement two hundred meters away from the side. Beiwei fired a shot and did not take action again. The mission of the reconnaissance team was to spy on intelligence, and occasionally ambush and harass.

Or assassination, direct confrontation with hundreds of enemies is definitely not within their scope of responsibilities.

The Ming army, which had lost its command, was still rushing forward, but there was no formation, just a swarm of swarms. When they entered a distance of three hundred meters, the muskets here started ringing one after another. The gunshots were still not very dense.

Because every soldier must aim before shooting, this is repeatedly required in training-an important reason why traditional Chinese firearms are not effective is that soldiers often fire outside the range and do not aim. If they can fire, they are done.

.

At a distance of three hundred meters, it would take at least a minute for the Ming army on the opposite side to run across this distance. The Qionghai I-type rifle can fire six to eight times per minute. Seventy rifles fire at the same time. The hit rate each time is calculated as 30%.

, the Ming army needed to pay 130 to 150 casualties to complete this road of death.

——In a sense, war is a cruel mathematical problem. If the Ming army can withstand the firepower here and rush forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, then they may win the battle.

However, in actual combat, the Ming army on the opposite side failed to charge even half of the way. After the thirty or fifty brave men at the front were all defeated, the remaining ones all chose to turn back in order to charge faster.

They fled at a fast speed. Leaving behind dozens of corpses and wounded people, they fled directly back to the camp, closed the door tightly, and never came out again.

Wang Haiyang led Shi Shiran to the outside of the camp. The field battle was considered to be won. Those Ming troops should not dare to come out to make trouble again. But next, they still have to deal with the camp. When attacking the state capital, they don't want to be behind them.

There is any organized Ming army armed force.

Beiwei and several young men from the reconnaissance brigade shook off the sand and soil on their bodies as they walked over to join the large army. Wang Haiyang looked at their number and asked:

"Why are there a few missing?"

"We are monitoring Fucheng, led by Zhang Xiaoshan. "

Beiwei responded calmly, and Wang Haiyang frowned:

"Zhang Xiaoshan? Old Slippery's son?"

"He learns quickly. "

Beiwei deliberately pretended not to understand what Wang Haiyang meant - in their group, which was called "short-haired" by the Ming Dynasty people, locals already accounted for more than half, but the decision-making power among various departments was still only modern people.

Not to mention the first company commander and three platoon commanders of the military group, including the nine squad leaders, all grassroots non-commissioned officers at all levels are still held by modern people. In this regard, everyone has always maintained a tacit understanding.

But as the chief officer of the reconnaissance brigade, Beiwei certainly has the right to decide internal personnel matters. Wang Haiyang is not a careless person, so he didn't hesitate after asking.

"Let's see how we can take down this camp?"

A few people gathered together for a short meeting. Through the telescope, you can see that many Ming troops are still hiding behind the wall to defend. As a permanent military facility, there are still many resisting horses and antlers outside the Baisha Village.
