Chapter 703: Battle of Dagukou VII

Dagu North Artillery Group, 'Gao' character fort.

The entire fort was shrouded in choking yellow poisonous smoke, and although there were no objects that could cause a fire on the turret, the scorching heat of Shimose's gunpowder easily ignited the clothes of the fallen soldiers, and the corpses burned.

At this time, there was not a single soldier standing on the fort, and there were violent coughs and heart-rending screams everywhere.

Under the ferocious ravages of the Japanese ships, the batteries of the anti-Japanese army had no power to fight back at all, and those soldiers who did not have time to lie down have all turned into corpses without exception.

Even some soldiers who lay down in time, many of them were also beaten into blood by shrapnel from the Japanese artillery shells.

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Xiong Kaiyu gasped for breath and stood up top-heavy, feeling that all the oil in his throat was sucking, burning his whole body.

The huge explosion caused Xiong Kaiyu to suffer severe pain all over his body, and his facial features were bleeding, and he didn't know if he was injured or not, and how heavy the injury was?

However, he had long since lost care of these things.

"Medic, Medic, rescue now!"

Xiong Kaiyu roared with red eyes: "Those who are not dead and can stand up, stand up for me, extinguish the flames ,β€”β€” bombard me!" ”

"Stand up, stand up! Ahemβ€”"

Hearing Xiong Kaiyu's roar, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army lying on the ground struggled and staggered to their feet, and many seriously injured soldiers fell down again after standing up.

And the soldiers who were not wounded, with red eyes of blood, used fine soil to extinguish the flames on the fort.

"Brothers, bombard these bastards for me!"

At this time, in the anti-Japanese bunker under the fort, a large number of anti-Japanese soldiers rushed out, all of whom covered their nostrils with a damp cloth, and ran towards the red cannons that had been burned.

"Whew-"

Pots of water were poured on the cannons and shells, and then the soldiers carried the still hot shells, quickly reloaded, and adjusted the artillery.

"Help all the wounded comrades off the battery for treatment, and give me the rest!"

Liu Shihao, who rushed up from the anti-artillery bunker below, yelled, ran to Xiong Kaiyu's side and said, "Stationmaster, you go down to heal first, we are here." ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm aiming for a bang!"

Xiong Kaiyu roared angrily: "Anti-Japanese army, there is no such bear!" ”

"The anti-Japanese army, there is no such bear!"

On the entire fort, all the soldiers shouted in unison.

And this scene was also staged in the 'Gate' Fort, the Beishan Fort, and the remaining 13 small forts.

The 75 gun on the old chestnut mouth small fort was damaged by the Japanese shells, and the soldiers ran to the 8,000-pound antique copper cannon, loaded gunpowder and iron pellet shells, and bombarded the Japanese ships.

"Boom, boomβ€”"

Immediately, the entire northern artillery group roared with artillery fire, and in the yellow smoke and fire, it was spectacular.

"Boom!"

A spherical solid cannonball smashed into the deck of the Itsukushima with a loud bang.

Then it ejected all the way around, sparks and ramming, until finally a Japanese soldier's left foot smashed against the bottom of the battery deck, smashing into a pile of minced meat, and then stopped.

"Ahh

The hapless artilleryman, screaming and crushing to his broken leg, passed out.

The captain of the Itsukushima, Yokoo Michiyu Daisa, looked at the smashed deformed with a stunned expression on his face, and the scorching temperature burned the dyed flesh into a layer of charred black flat iron ball.

Then he looked at the Dagukou North Artillery Group, which was constantly spitting out tongues of fire in the fire and smoke.

Half-ringing, Yokoo Daoyu said disdainfully: "What a group of fools who don't know whether to live or die!" ”

Matsushima.

"Courage is commendable, but stupidity;"

With a faint smile on the corner of Ito's mouth, he ordered: "Order the ships to march a semi-circular cruising strike, hoping to make them sober up a little." ”

"Boom-"

Immediately, the Japanese shipgroup began to bombard fiercely again.

"Immediately remove the turrets and go into cover to avoid bombs!"

With the lessons of the last round of shelling, including the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army who had experienced the artillery battle in Dalian Bay before, they had a clearer understanding of modern naval warfare.

- No matter how strong the willpower is, it can't resist the brutal tearing of the kinetic energy of the metal shrapnel!

Under the shouts of the officers, the soldiers of each battery quickly ran down the battery and entered the bomb shelter.

"Boom!"

With the violent explosion of the Daodao, the smoke rushed into the bunker, and the ground under his feet shook violently, like a weak boat on the ocean in a storm.

In the midst of the 'buzzing' thunder, the bunker was filled with violent coughing and the terrible howls of the heavy bomb soldiers who were brought down.

Fortunately, the anti-Japanese army used a large amount of hemp soil to block the bombs on each fort in advance, which well controlled the killing range of the Japanese army's high-explosive bombs, otherwise the casualties of each fort at this time would be much greater than this.

Every soldier of the anti-Japanese army who hid in the bunker had a deep humiliation on his face.

This battle is really humiliating!

The long 14 minutes finally passed, and the Japanese ships on the surface of the sea stopped shelling.

"Immediately go to the fort and bang him!"

Under the shouts of the commanders of the batteries, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army in 16 large and small batteries poured out of their bunkers and rushed onto the batteries.

"Boom!"

The shelling of the northern artillery group of the Great Qing Dynasty roared again.

"Yaga, these bastards!"

At this time, Ito Hengyou was able to taste it, and he scolded angrily.

"Commander, if you want to blow up the artillery of the Qing army and destroy their bunkers, your subordinates propose that some of the artillery be replaced with armor-piercing shells."

Omoto knew that he said angrily: "It's like attacking in Dalian Bay!" ”

"No, the attack on the Dagu forts is only to contain them, not to occupy them; It's already okay, it's not worth it for a bunch of little reptiles that are not threatening, pestering themselves with a lot of wasteful imperial shells. ”

Ito Henyu endured his anger and ordered: "Order the ship group to move north and return to the sea area of the Tang River estuary." ”

"Woo-"

With the sound of the whistle, the eight capital ships of the Japanese army turned due north and flew away.

At each battery, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army stopped shelling and looked at the Japanese ships in the distance with hatred.

All the batteries were in a mess at this time, full of craters, broken sacks that had been shattered by shrapnel, and guns of all sizes that had been turned over and overturned.

There was also rubble, shrapnel, dried blood and broken corpses all over the floor.

The Dagu Military Station, the Dagu Fort General Arsenal, the Dagu Naval Division Dock, and the Dagu Naval Division Barracks are burning with raging fires and black smoke rising to the sky.

"We'll all remember this day, one day-"

Xiong Kaiyu roared hoarsely: "One day, we will also use our warships and our shells to bombard the port of Tokyo!" ”

"Flatten Tokyo, flatten Tokyo!"

Although many of these recruits of the anti-Japanese army had only just 'come out' of the dirt and did not know where 'Tokyo' was, it did not affect their determination and cry in the slightest.

"Grab the shells!"

At this time, from the entrance of Maxi Village, Housun Village, and Xiyuan Village near the south artillery group of Dagu Fort, a large number of people ran out, shouting to pick up shrapnel from Japanese artillery shells.

"The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country!"

Xiong Kaiyu looked at the farce on the south bank of the Haihe River with a solemn face, and ordered: "Order to train the 1st and 2nd brigades, draw out troops to the South Artillery Group Fort, prohibit the people from entering the fort and the barracks, and prohibit the people from picking up corpses; The 3rd and 4th Brigades were ordered to immediately go to the military station to put out the fire, part of the 5th Brigade went to the Governor's Mansion to put out the fire, and the rest went to the Naval Division, and all their carriages were brought over and pulled to the Nanhe artillery group. ”

When Liu Gangyi strode away to convey the order, Xiong Kaiyu looked at Liu Shihao beside him and said:

"You go to the General Military Mansion, Sun Wenya goes to the Naval Dock, if the radio station in the General Military Mansion and the dock telegraph office is not damaged, it will be completely destroyed and the illusion caused by the shelling will be made!"
