Daming Military Empire

Chapter 609

The Rem River in May is warm, and the Rem City on the banks of the Rem River is even more lively. There are Ming troops lined up in square formations everywhere in the city and outside the city, and the armored chariots have also unveiled the mystery. , all drove out from the train station and lined up neatly on the pier.

In order to facilitate the boarding of armored chariots, the Ming army specially remodeled dozens of Fuchuan warships. These Fuchuan warships had openings more than two feet wide on both sides, making them similar to movable doors, and the door panels were still thick steel plates. As long as the door panel is opened and a ride is made on the pier, the armored combat vehicle can be driven directly onto the ship.

At this time, the Ming army had no scruples. Anyway, the battle was about to start, and the armored chariots would also be put into battle. Tsarist Russia knew a day or two earlier that it would not have any impact on the battle situation.

Armored chariots lined up to board the Fuchuan battleship, and infantry phalanxes scattered into formations to board the Fuchuan, as well as those transporting food, supplies, artillery, etc., and so on. The whole pier was bustling.

The Ming army is about to go on an expedition. Naturally, the Tsarist Russian defenders have detected such a big movement. However, what can they do? No matter in terms of strength or weaponry, they are at an absolute disadvantage, and they dare not fight against the Ming army in the wild. Just now, he could only stay in the bastion and wait for the Ming army to attack.

The boarding operation of the Ming army lasted for a full day. The Fuchuan battleships on the Remu River were lined up for tens of miles. In addition to the super battleships cruising back and forth in the middle of the river, the entire river was almost filled with warships. .

Early the next morning, the fleet set off and sailed down the river to the north. The speed was as fast as galloping horses. However, after less than two hours of driving, the fleet began to slow down and dock. The first rally point has arrived.

There is no port here, let alone a wharf, but the terrain is relatively good. Both sides of the river are flat, there are no obstacles, and the current is not very fast. It is not very troublesome for the warship to drop anchor.

Several Fuchuan warships began to approach the shore, and the soldiers of the Ming army on the battleships jumped down like dumplings. Soon, thousands of Ming troops gathered on the river bank. However, the things they held in their hands were all kinds of strange things. Some held hoes, some held shovels, some held sledgehammers, some held axes, and some even carried logs, but they didn't hold guns!

They assembled in a hurry, and then dispersed under the command of their respective generals. Suddenly, earth and rocks flew up on the river bank, and a simple wharf extended into the river at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than an hour, a simple wharf for soldiers to land The pier is ready.

Immediately afterwards, more Ming soldiers ran down from the Fuchuan battleship, and reinforcement materials such as planks, steel plates, and steel were also quickly moved down. The simple pier was built wider and stronger, and the Ming troops on the river bank also gathered The more there are, the large black area may not be in the tens of thousands.

At this time, the Ming army was in a typical state of half-crossing. About half of the people on the boat had just disembarked, and all the food, grass, luggage, etc. were on board. When attacking at the right time, the enemy army will be in chaos. If you take advantage of the chaos, you will definitely win a big victory.

If it is a battle with cold weapons, attacking it halfway is indeed a good tactic, but now it is a war with hot weapons, and the warships of the Ming army are not vegetarians. The shells of the super battleship can bury them!

Although Tsarist Russia did not come to make a surprise attack, the time it took for the Ming army to land this time was still longer than the time it took to board the ship in Rem City, because the pier was built temporarily, and it was not as easy to use as the pier in Rem City.

Two days later, the Ming army finally landed, and the food, supplies, weapons and equipment were barely moved off the boat. At this time, the Ming army had set up camps with a radius of more than ten miles along the river bank. The hot air balloon floated high, and within tens of miles, it was within the monitoring range of the Ming army.

At this moment, the large tent of the Chinese Army is brightly lit. If you look carefully, you will find that the layout inside is exactly the same as the simulated combat commander in the Daming Army Officer Academy. In the middle is a huge sand table model, with a row of A telegraph, with a huge battle map hanging behind it.

However, at this time, the telegraphs were no longer decorations. There were two Ming army signal soldiers sitting next to each telegraph. The sand table model was no longer the terrain in the northwest of the capital, but the terrain around this gathering point.

There were not many people in the middle of the big tent. Cao Wenzhao, the deputy marshal of the Ming Army and the commander of the South Road Ming Army, stood in the middle, and Qin Gongming, Hou Gongji, Yang Geng, and Zheng Ming were separated from each other. There were only five people in total.

The five people seemed to be discussing the battle plan around the sand table model. After discussing for a while, Cao Wenzhao began to issue tasks. He pointed to the Remu River channel on the sand table model with a white wax stick: "Yang Geng, order you to lead fifty super battleships." Be vigilant on the river surface near the camp, and if you find enemy troops, shoot directly."

Hearing this, Yang Geng stood his legs side by side, raised his head and chest, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The last general obeys orders."

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and then said to Zheng Ming who was on the side: "Zheng Ming, I order you to lead all the Fuchuan warships to return immediately, rush to Remu City, and bring over the food and supplies for the next battle."

Hearing this, Zheng Ming also stood with his legs side by side, raised his head and chest, performed a standard military salute, and said in a loud voice: "The last general obeys orders."

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and then said to Qin Gongming who was standing beside him, "Qin Gongming, I order you to lead the Liao army with [-] cavalry to stay in the camp."

When Qin Gongming heard the words, he also stood with his legs side by side, raised his head and chest, and performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The last general obeys orders."

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and said to Hou Gongji who was on the side: "Hou Gongji, I ordered you to lead the Guanning Army and the [-] cavalry of the Fourth Army of the Border Guards to stand in the camp and be ready to support the frontline troops at any time. Attacking troops."

When Hou Gongji heard the words, he also stood with his legs side by side, raised his head and chest, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The last general obeys orders."

Cao Wenzhao nodded, put down the white wax pole, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's go down and get ready. I will set off with 15 infantry tomorrow morning. Gongming, starting tomorrow, you will be here On duty, responsible for central support."

Hearing this, Qin Gongming stood his legs together again, raised his head and chest, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The last general obeys orders."

Early the next morning, the Ming army set out. First, 15 artillery vehicles drove out of the camp one by one, followed by [-] infantry in a neat formation, followed by [-] mountain vehicles and [-] armored vehicles. .

In this way, the Ming army was slowly approaching a Tsarist bastion in the south with neat steps. Cao Wenzhao didn't seem to be in a hurry. After walking more than ten miles, he had to stop the army for a while, as if he was afraid that his soldiers would be tired. Same.

At this time, a hot air balloon would slowly rise in the Ming army formation, looking down at the earth from a high altitude like an eagle's eye.

By the way, doesn't the hot air balloon need a fan to blow up? It's impossible for the Ming army to run with a generator on their backs?
It is naturally impossible for the Ming army to carry generators on the march, but wires can be pulled away. If you look closely at the places where the Ming army walked, there are not one or two wires on the ground, but dozens of densely packed wires. Not only are there fans wires, and telegraph wires.

Fortunately, Tsarist Russia did not know that a lot of equipment in the Ming army had to be wired to work, otherwise they would definitely send people to destroy the lines.
