The first thousand three hundred and fifty-one chapters of the imperial expedition road (sixteen)

The moon was in the sky and the stars were gloomy. Ottoman attacked more than a thousand small boats on the east coast of the Marmara Sea, and transported a large number of soldiers from the sailboat and rowed to the shore with torches. Yang Wei, the commander of the artillery battalion who had been closely following the movements of the Ottoman army, stared at the Ottoman sailboats on the sea through the looking hole. There were several staff members beside him, with the same expression focused. These staff members came from different places, including the staff of the Chinese Army's General Staff, the navy's staff, and of course the artillery.

The staff of the battalion headquarters. It is precisely because Yang Wei's artillery battalion lacks experience in combating seaships in land operations for many years that the Imperial Staff specially dispatched naval staff to assist Yang Wei in combat. As for the staff of the staff, he was only responsible for watching the battle and recording the entire combat process. In the dark night, the Ottoman boats slowly floated to the east coast, and under the cover of the waves, these small boats approached the coast bit by bit. The torches and the stars in the night sky shone together, blending into the moonlight.

As the navy's adviser to assist in artillery battles, Zhang Weixin, while observing the enemy situation, suggested to the artillery battalion commander Yang Wei: "Yang Dutong, the subordinates believe that it is most appropriate to shell the enemy fleet at this time. If the Ottoman sneak attacks the army and is surrounded and annihilated by our army on the shore, these sailboats are likely not to take into account the defeated soldiers on land. When they raise the anchor and flee, they have less concerns, and the artillery battalion will be...."

The suggestion of the naval officer Zhang Weixin pointed out the key to today's fighter jets. The Chinese Army General Staff has not yet figured out the situation of the various Ottoman generals. Because of this, when the Chinese Army Commander Zhang Ping'an and the General Staff plan their combat strategies, they are more likely to arrange troops according to the characteristics of their own generals in fighting. Although Yang Wei's unit of the Chinese Army Artillery Battalion has participated in many wars, they are more likely to shell the fixed targets of the city and enemy positions. At most, they are bombarding the enemy's marching targets. Even after the enemy launches an attack, they still cover the set area and rarely hit a single moving target. Because of this, the General Staff Department has transferred Zhang Weixin, the naval officer, to help the artillery battalion. The difference between the naval army and the land artillery battalion is that the naval warships are all bombarded by moving targets in the artillery warships in the artillery warships, and they have their own unique understanding of the opportunity for naval warfare.

Today, the Ottoman fleet dragged a small boat across the sea to the outside of the Chinese army's fake camp. Staff Zhang Weixin inferred the amount of time it took for the Ottoman sailboat to unload warships from the speed of the enemy's warships disembarking. Navy staff Zhang Weixin roughly calculated that the Ottomans' disembarking speed was more than twice as slow as the Chinese army, but they still had to be a little faster than the Thai Spanish. This discovery alone made the navy staff Zhang Weixin realize that the Ottoman fleet had a rich combat experience. With this judgment, the navy staff officer Zhang Weixin believed that the Ottoman navy's generals should not be underestimated, and the Chinese artillery battalion should launch an attack at this best time. The reason was that the Ottoman sneak attack army was not far from the Ottoman sailboat. When the Ottoman leader was attacked, the first thing that came to mind was to take back these warships when the fleet was attacked.

As a navy staff officer, Zhang Weixin explained to commander Yang Wei the steps of the navy to recover the ferry boat, and clearly pointed out that if the generals of the Ottoman fleet decided to recycle the infantry on the ferry, the sailboats that had broken down and stayed on the sea would not move. Staff Zhang Weixin also explained to commander Yang Wei that another possibility was that the Ottoman infantry was ambushed by the Chinese army after landing, and their infantry fled to the outer sea. At this time, the artillery battalion launched a bombardment on the Ottoman fleet, and the Ottoman led the generals.

The first thing that came to mind was to protect the safety of the fleet and abandon the defeated troops scattered on land. Especially after the Ottoman sailboats lowered their attacking infantry, their weight of sailboats could also allow the Ottoman fleet to evacuate as soon as possible. However, the suggestions of the navy staff officer Zhang Weixin did not receive a response from Commander Yang Wei, and he was still weighing the pros and cons of this fighter. The combat strategy given by the General Staff of the Chinese Army was to allow the enemy to go ashore to attack the fake battalion, and then the artillery battalion decided the timing of fire based on the battlefield situation.

Yang Wei, the commander of the artillery battalion, was at this time. Although the suggestions of the navy's staff officer Zhang Weixin were good, they violated the strategy formulated by the General Staff. If Yang Wei opened fire according to Zhang Weixin's suggestion, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Camp who had been waiting here for many days would not be able to gain any military achievements. This would make the leader Luo Tian, ​​the leader of the Tianxiong Camp, dissatisfied. Indecisiveness was a taboo. Yang Wei, the artillery battalion, hesitated for a moment, caused the loss of fighter planes. Seeing the Ottoman sneak attack on the army approaching

On the coast, the navy staff officer Zhang Weixin sighed softly and stopped talking. The navy staff officer Zhang Weixin was 38 years old this year. He was originally a kid in the Jinlang Camp of Ping'an City and was trained as an intern in the Pingshun War in the war to wipe out the Qing Dynasty. As the General Staff of the Thousand General Staff, Zhang Weixin was supposed to take up the position of the Pingzi warship manager. Because the staff urgently needed the assistance of experienced naval generals, and the Central Navy had no war, Zhang Weixin was assigned by Chief of Staff Gu Xin to assist in the battle.

The Chinese military staff only have the right to suggest on the battlefield, and there is no responsibility for whether the main general adopts it or not. Although there is no unity between Zhang Weixin and the commander Yang Wei, as a qualified staff officer, Zhang Weixin still has to stay on the front line instead of leaving in anger. About half an hour later, thousands of Ottoman infantry rushed to the beach in Shanghai, and they had to walk twenty miles to reach the fake camp established by the Chinese army. Fighting on the field on land was the strength of the Chinese army.

The Luotian tribe of Tianxiong Camp, hidden in the northwest of the fake camp, had long tied a thick cotton cloth to the horse's hooves and attacked from the hidden place silently. The Chinese army was best at attacking the enemy's flanks on a large incline, and the commander Luo Tianxian sent five thousand musketeers to attack the left wing of the Ottoman army. As a result, there was no accident at all. The Chinese army musketeers on the flank of the Ottoman army were attacked in a scattered formation, and the Ottoman army marched formation was broken up in just three rounds of continuous shooting.

I heard crackling muskets sounds endlessly. Six thousand cavalry located behind the Chinese military musket formation crossed the musket formation and rushed towards the Ottoman chaos. The rumbling horse hooves were particularly harsh in the quiet night sky. The cavalry of the Tianxiong Camp happily harvested the lives of the enemy. Until this time, Yang Wei, the commander of the artillery battalion, felt how big the mistake he had made tonight. Judging by the sound alone, the Tianxiong Camp did not plan to send an Ottoman home. As an experienced general, the commander of the municipal government, Yang Wei no longer hesitated to order bombardment of the Ottoman fleet in the outer sea. One hundred artillery battalions

More than 70 various artillery artillery, as usual, used the cover bombardment tactics, and flew one after another toward the Ottoman fleet assembly area. Three Ottoman sailboats were shot and caught fire. The flames illuminated the night sky and pointed out the direction of the artillery battalion. The three Ottoman sailboats were brigged sailboats. Although the Ottoman sailboats were different from the Thais, the overall hull layout was not much different. What the Chinese artillery battalion needed to attack was the few three-masted sailboats of the Ottomans, but the first round of artillery attack did not hit a three-masted sailboat.

In fact, when Tianxiong Battalion launched an attack, the Ottoman fleet leader Ankyoll ordered the fleet to anchor and turn. Ankyoll knew very well that the Chinese army had strong field forces. Since this was a trap dug by the Chinese army for the Ottoman army, he had to bring the precious fleet back to Istanbul. Ankyoll's judgment was undoubtedly accurate. Just as the Ottoman fleet was anchored, they were attacked by the Chinese army artillery camp artillery. It was undoubtedly difficult for the sailboat to turn the bow on the spot immediately. Ankyoll, who has rich navigation experience,

The fleet was ordered to escape northward from the range of Chinese military artillery. During the steering process, the Ottoman fleet endured the bombardment of Chinese military artillery, and they had no intention of using the artillery on the ship to fight back. During the slow turning of the Ottoman fleet, four more sailboats were hit by Chinese military artillery and caught fire, including a three-masted sailboat. Tonight was the south wind blowing on the surface of Shanghai, and Ankjol chose the right direction in a very short time, which made the Ottoman fleet escape from the attack range of Chinese military artillery while the continuous acceleration.

Although the Chinese Army's Yang Wei's artillery battalion hit six Ottoman sailboats in the subsequent artillery bombardment, there were only three enemy ships that had really sunk, and the other injured sailboats gradually disappeared in the night. The Chinese Army's artillery battalion was ambushed here for many days, but he lost his fighter due to the hesitation of the commander Yang Wei's hesitation in the battle. Not to mention that the navy staff officer Zhang Weixin was in a grudge, even the officers and soldiers of the base camp were dissatisfied. The Tianxiong Camp was killed happily in the battle tonight, and the commander Luo Tian reported the victory to Emperor Zhang Ping'an and the General Staff after the war. Soon, the main camp of the Chinese Army, located on the southern foot of the Little Caucasus Mountains, received a war report from Yingzui Beach. When Emperor Zhang Ping'an saw that Yang Wei's artillery battalion had only obtained the military report of sinking three enemy ships, his whole heart sank to the bottom of the sea. As a general of the three Chinese Army's artillery battalions, Yang Wei is now less and less able to fight.

Everything has comparisons. Sister Yang, who is also the commander of the artillery battalion, thinks about playing cannons all day long. Sister Yang is the older she is, the more refined she is in the war. This is also the reason why Emperor Zhang Ping'an likes to use Sister Yang's artillery battalion when fighting. Since this ambush failed to deal with the Ottoman fleet, the Chinese army staying on the west coast of the Bosphorus Strait is in danger. For such a long time, the Ottomans endure the Chinese army crossing the sea and did not cause any attacks. The main reason is that the Chinese army and the Ross army did not engage in the battle. Once the Chinese army commander

When he went to war with Ross, the Ottomans would have to attack the Chinese army's crossing the sea with all their might, so that the Chinese army could not take care of each other. Since Emperor Zhang Ping'an noticed that Huang Zhi's troops and Fu Ruige's troops crossing the strait were in danger, he immediately sent someone to pass military orders to Chief of Staff Gu Xin, and found a way to withdraw these two war barracks back to the east coast of the Bosphorus Strait as quickly as possible. At the same time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an also ordered to the artillery battalion commander Yang Meimei that the Ottoman fleet should not be allowed to approach the Chinese army's landing zone in any case.

Gu Xin, the chief of staff who was commanding the east coast of the Bosphorus, suddenly felt three times overwhelmed after receiving the emperor's withdrawal. It was not easy to withdraw troops from the west coast of the Bosphorus. Now, the two Chinese military battalions on the west coast of the west coast have reached nearly 70,000, and the ships and wooden rafts used to cross the sea are only more than 3,000. In addition, Shanghai is in a complicated situation and it is difficult to get out of it once it is entangled by the enemy.

As the chief general, Gu Xin tried his best to order the craftsmen to rush to build a small boat crossing the sea, and ordered the evacuation of ammunition and supplies from the west coast first. As the chief of staff of the Chinese Army, Gu Xin knew very well the situation on the battlefield and deviated from the Chinese Army's General Staff. He had to transfer the rocket launcher hidden in the baggage battalion to the front line and handed it over to the commander of the artillery battalion Yang Meimei, so that he could use cover to evacuate the army at critical moments.
