However, what happened next was unexpected by everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The English people, who were proud of their strong national strength, naively thought that the Chinese Empire would really not go to all-out war with the British, and even launched an attack on the Chinese Imperial Navy in Yokosuka during the recess!

Although the Chinese Imperial Navy was always ready to fight under the leadership of Ding Ruchang, but once it fought, it was still not the opponent of the British army, and the difference in strength was too great, facing the siege of more than 20 warships of the Asian Fleet, in just half a day, the Chinese Imperial Navy did not retreat, abandoned Yokosuka, and instead retreated to the deeper part of Jingdong Bay, and ran to Edo in one breath, with the assistance of the Edo Huaxia People's Army, to defend.

However, when the navy was about to retreat, Ding Ruchang sent a telegram to Kyoto City.

Gao Qi, who received Ding Ruchang's telegram, was furious, what the hell, go to war? I can't wait!

"Qin Yan, immediately give the order, the second and third divisions will attack the British army, attack! Lao Tzu wants them to know that the divine might of the Chinese People's Army is not to be offended! ”

The 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which had received orders, launched an attack on the British at the same time, and the two artillery regiments were all thrown into battle, and together, a hundred guns, launched a fierce offensive directly against the British army!

Now the Chinese People's Army has transferred all the main forces to outside the city of Kyoto, in order to obtain the maximum mobility ability, the original force is small, and there is no way to resist the city and defend it, but now the strength has increased, naturally it cannot be defended, once a war breaks out, the troops can not be deployed.

The strength of the two divisions of the Chinese People's Army, one on the left and the other on the right, was like a pair of pincers, launching a stormy offensive against the British army on the opposite side, and in just ten minutes, nearly 1,000 shells were fired at the British position, and the entire British position completely fell into the artillery coverage of the Chinese People's Army!

The British army also refused to show weakness, and the thunderous Nunez was also-for-tat, mobilizing artillery to attack the opponent, and the two sides launched an extremely fierce artillery battle outside Kyoto!

From noon to dusk, the two sides gradually stopped attacking, and the positions were full of craters from artillery shells.

However, in comparison, the British army suffered a big loss, not that the People's Army artillery is more powerful, but that the British army's fortifications are not as good as the Chinese People's Army, and the construction of fortifications is the biggest support that Guo Ye brought to the Chinese People's Army, and even far above the heavy machine guns, powerful ring fortifications, bullet craters, trenches and other modern fortifications are far from being understood by the soldiers of this world, this is the secret of the Chinese People's Army, even the Sixth Army of the United States has not fully mastered these advanced fortifications, These fortifications can protect the soldiers to the greatest extent and reduce their own casualties under the bombardment of the enemy's artillery as much as possible.

Although the Chinese People's Army that came to Japan was the elite of the Second and Third Divisions, a large number of elites in the original Second and Third Divisions were transferred to other formations, and the individual combat strength declined, and the current artillery combat strength was even slightly inferior to that of the British Army.

In most of the day's artillery bombardment, the KPA casualties were only a few hundred, but the casualties brought by the KPA to the British army directly exceeded more than 1,000! Nunez looked at the casualties on the battlefield, and felt distressed, it was less than a day of fighting, and he brought so many casualties to himself!

Originally, the offensive against the Chinese Imperial Navy from the sea was originally planned to deter the Chinese Empire, but what I didn't expect was that these soldiers of the Chinese Empire were really bold, and instead of reining in, they launched a counteroffensive directly towards the British Imperial Army, and it was obvious that they had the advantage, and the strength of their two divisions was not their opponent.

Now the British have even more headaches, since they take the initiative to start a war, they can't take the initiative to bow their heads, if they bow their heads, it will be tantamount to admitting defeat, even if they hold on, they have to hold on!

It's a pity that the Chinese People's Army did not intend to give them a chance to hold on, the attack during the day passed, an artillery battle, the victory or defeat was not decided, and at night, the Chinese People's Army even had to fight again!

After resting for less than four hours, Gao Qi, who was thirsty for war, shot again, but this time, the vanguard was no longer artillery, but a heavy machine gun battalion, a powerful heavy machine gun battalion!

In the wilderness, it was as dark as ink, there were no stars and moons, and the smoke of gunpowder was so thick that it was almost impossible to see five fingers, and two heavy machine gun battalions pushed out from the positions of the Chinese People's Army and slowly advanced towards the flank positions of the French army.

Suddenly, the artillery fire on the KPA position roared again, and waves of shells fell on the British positions again.

However, this time, the artillery of the People's Army was only a feint, and the real focus was on the heavy machine gun battalion and the cavalry regiment, the heavy machine gun battalion launched a frantic strafing fire on the British position, and now the heavy machine gun formation has advanced hundreds of meters, less than 400 meters away from the British army, and the powerful heavy machine gun fire has beaten the British army so that they can't even lift their heads, and if they move slightly, they have to be hit through by heavy machine gun bullets!

Taking advantage of the time when the British army was completely suppressed, a cavalry regiment was like lightning, fiercely piercing into the flank of the British position, and the British army did not even have a chance to block it, so they could only watch as a group of cavalry rushed into the position, and then a cold and shining saber slashed at the British army mercilessly!

It's too unlucky, the heavy machine gun cooperates with the cavalry, such a tactic, the British army has never seen it, the British troops on the flank position were beaten and cried wolf, running around one by one, dodging the impact of the cavalry, not to mention the sharp saber, just a war horse as fast as the wind, once it hits and injures someone, it is definitely either dead or injured, and it is seriously injured!

Nunez was so angry that his head was dizzy, damn it, the KPA was too cunning!

The furious Nunez hurriedly stopped the army from blocking, but at this time, it was obviously too late, and the cavalry that rushed up at speed could not be stopped at all, and the crazy cavalry slapped the British troops on the beach like a frenzied tide!

The entire flank position was completely destroyed by the cavalry and heavy machine gun battalions, and the British troops had no temper at all and had no power to fight back! (To be continued.) )
