Chapter 914: Bloody Battle at Dagukou

The four-nation coalition army defended on the spot and began to fall into a bitter battle, facing the fierce attack of the Lu army in four directions, and was beaten bitterly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the mixed fleet had also arrived at Dagukou and began to launch a fierce attack towards Dagukou!

The two fleets were united, there were more than nearly sixty battleships, and almost all the naval guns were launched, and the sky was full of shells, and they launched a fierce attack on the position of the Lu army at Dagukou!

Above Dagukou, the artillery of the Lu army together is only three artillery battalions, and the strength is too poor compared with the fleet, there is no way, the other artillery is all besieging the four-nation coalition army, and there is no extra force to support the defense of Dagukou.

The fleet of the Three Kingdoms attacked too fiercely, even if the Lu army was brave and good at fighting, it could not withstand such a fierce attack by the opponent, but after all, the Lu army was the Lu army, and it was much more tenacious than the Hunan army and the Huai army.

Resolutely not to take a step back, Gao He threw his infantry brigade to Zhang Song to lead, and personally boarded the Dagu Pass, commanding the battle, a whole day, one day, the Lu army's artillery lost more than half, and the artillery casualties were beyond imagination, compared to the Lu army playing with life, the coalition forces were also playing with their lives, desperately attacking, the British and French battleships had even moved to a position less than one kilometer away from the Dagukou battery, and the two sides fought with sparks, extremely tragic!

Although the Lu army caused some damage to the fleets of the three countries, after all, there was a huge disparity in strength, and in one day, it was a little unbearable, Gao Ekong was in a hurry, and there was no way, and now the artillery firepower could no longer cover the entire sea area of Dagukou, and the opponent began to charge towards the dock, preparing to force the landing!

No, if we continue to defend passively in this way, it won't take long for the entire artillery to be lost, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to control the situation at Dagukou.

Gao He gritted his teeth and said: "Order, artillery battalion, retreat six miles to the rear, give an order to the third brigade and the fifth brigade in the rear, order all the brothers to press me up, once the foreigners land, give me a charge, and be sure to suppress them on the beach!" ”

Gao Yi quickly deployed the second line of defense, preparing to launch another counterattack to prevent the opponent from landing when the coalition reinforcements landed.

Gao E, with the remaining twenty or so artillery pieces, began to retreat to the rear, and deployed the defensive line again at a position of five or six miles.

On the sea, the commander-in-chief of the mixed fleet, Bonella, gave an order, and the troop carriers in the rear began to carry out a forced landing under the cover of naval guns.

Gao He didn't say a word, and Zhang Song led two infantry brigades to launch a ferocious attack on the opponent, and the artillery fire was insufficient, so use heavy machine guns to greet them, and suppress the opponent's attack no matter what!

The two infantry regiments quickly advanced and suppressed the coastline with heavy machine-gun fire and rifle fire, while the few remaining artillery pieces were attacking the opposing battleships.

After all, the British and French forces launched a landing operation from the sea, and the troops could not be deployed, and the artillery could not be counted on, so they could only rely on the help of naval guns, cover with fire, and charge towards the beach.

The Anglo-French coalition troops landed on the beach three times in a row, but they were all stubbornly driven back to the sea by the Lu army.

Bonella was furious, this army is really infuriating, the dog said, it seems that if you don't wipe them out, it will be impossible to land successfully!

"Send a signal to General Dundas, ask General Dundas's fleet to launch an artillery attack on the Chinese troops on the coast, be sure to suppress the opponent's firepower and cover the landing of the coalition forces!"

The signal soldiers waved the signal lights and conveyed the news to the fleet, and the three-country fleet of Dendars began to rush forward, and launched an attack on the Lu army again, and waves of shells bombarded the positions of the Lu army, this time the Lu army officers and soldiers also suffered from it, there was not enough artillery to compete with the opponent, just by virtue of the infantry, where is the opponent of artillery?

Under the ferocious blow of the naval artillery fire of the coalition fleet, the casualties of the officers and men of the two infantry brigades skyrocketed!

Behind, Gao Qi and Zhang Song glanced at each other, this time the two of them finally saw the power of the ship's strong artillery, dozens of warships surrounded the mouth of Dagu, unscrupulously launched an attack, this firepower, even if three artillery regiments are mobilized over, it is difficult to withstand the opponent's attack! The naval guns of this fleet are too powerful!

"Damn, Lao Zhang, when we win this time, Lao Tzu must build the most powerful navy in the world, and Lao Tzu will bomb all of them into the Pacific Ocean! Specially, my brothers who live and die together! ”

Gao Qi was heartbroken, and his distressed heart was dripping blood, whether it was the third brigade or the fifth brigade, they had suffered a heavy blow, and the opponent's firepower was too fast!

"That's it, the dog said, Lao Tzu personally went to be the commander of the navy, and he must go to Europe to do a big vote, grandma's, this time the casualties are too heavy!"

Zhang Song was also furious, so angry that he wanted to go crazy, but it was useless to attack the heart in a hurry, and now the Lu army was at a comprehensive disadvantage, not only the artillery losses were serious, but also the heavy machine guns were not small!

At this most critical moment, the reinforcements finally arrived - the Huai army rushed up!

In order to be able to support Guo Ye to win this battle, Li Hongzhang also invested in blood, following the last battle of Dagukou, after investing in three large battalions, this time Li Hongzhang once again invested in the three large battalions of the Huai Army, except for Song Qing's cavalry in assisting the main force of the Lu army to encircle and annihilate the four-nation coalition army, the other main forces were all sent by Guo Ye to Dagukou!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery roaring sounded again, from behind the Lu army, the two artillery battalions of the Huai army were put into the battle, although the number of artillery was not much, but there were also forty or fifty guns, launching an attack on the fleet above the sea, the firepower of the Lu army increased sharply, and the fleet was caught off guard, several battleships boarded and caught fire, and the Huai infantry rushed up to the beach from the flanks, blocking with all their might!

Wu Changqing, the general of the Huai Army, personally led the Huai Army to join the battle group, and thousands of fresh troops joined in, even if the combat power is not good, it is much stronger than nothing!

The Lu army and the Huai army worked together, and only then did they barely stabilize the situation and repulse the forced landing launched by the coalition forces.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, all the soldiers of the Lu army were exhausted, this battle was too tragic, since the start of the war, only the battle of Rongchengwan can be compared!
