Chapter 1010: Navy Crushed
On April 4 of the fifth year of Gaia, the Bactria Navy and the Haiphong City Naval Division engaged in a close encounter in the Beibu Gulf.
The outcome of the war was a big surprise.
an hour.
The Haiphong City Naval Division only supported for an hour before it was torn to pieces by the Great Xia Combined Fleet.
Countless fleet wrecks and tens of thousands of corpses floated helplessly on the surface of the sea, constantly washed by the waves, all the way to the beach of Haiphong City, where they ran aground.
The dense wreckage of war on the beach tells a certain cruelty.
The strength of the Great Xia Navy once again shocked the world, and when this tiger really showed its fangs, its terrifying lethality was really terrifying.
Fear, like a plague, quickly spreads across the globe.
ASEAN countries completely lost their voices, and no longer dared to think carefully, and retracted their heads one by one. Keisuke Honda, who was even more sleepless all night, tossing and turning, and his eyes were red.
"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! Prepare for war at all costs, this is a battle to the death! ”
This is the sentence that Keisuke Honda said the most, representing the voice of the entire Toei players, the national war has not yet begun, and the Toei district is already united, ready to fight against the water.
Di Chen was also frightened, and he couldn't help but ask himself, how long could the newly formed Handan fleet support in front of the Great Xia Navy?
Shaking his head, Di Chen didn't dare to think about it.
Only the Mediterranean countries that had dealt with the Great Xia Navy could still maintain their composure. Even Jack was hesitating whether to have a head-to-head battle with the Great Xia Navy around the Hawaiian Islands.
After thinking about it for a day and a night, Jack made up his mind, "We must fight!" ”
If you don't fight at this time, it will be even more difficult in the future.
He is still very confident in Jack of the Free Fleet, and he is not inferior to the Great Xia Navy.
…………
To the Great Xia Combined Fleet, the Haiphong City Naval Division was just a small pebble on the road, and after kicking it away, the fleet continued to castrate, approaching the long coastline of Annam.
In the wreckage-strewn sea battlefield, the three fleets parted ways.
Zhou Yu, the vice admiral of the expeditionary force and the temporary commander of the Combined Fleet, personally led the royal fleet to take Haiphong City; Zhou Tai, the commander-in-chief of the naval division, led the first formation of the Pacific Fleet to the north and was responsible for sweeping the coastal cities north of Haiphong City.
Yu Dayou led the Yashan fleet southward and swept the vast area south of Haiphong City.
The purpose of the Combined Fleet is very simple, that is, to sweep away the coast of Annam, and then choose a suitable place to land, establish a stronghold, and create conditions for the landing operation of the army.
Before that, Haiphong City was like a tiger without claws, unable to do anything.
The power of the navy in the national war has been fully demonstrated, especially for the coastal countries, if there is no comparable sailor, the upcoming national war will be difficult.
…………
April 5, Haiphong City.
Facing the rising sun, the golden dragon flag flutters in the wind, and the hunting sounds.
The news of the destruction of the Navy Division had already spread throughout Haiphong City, and the Great Xia Navy, which arrived as scheduled, was tantamount to seeing a group of Grim Reapers, busy retreating for the people of Haiphong City.
In the nearby seas, there is not a single fishing boat to be seen within a radius of thousands of miles. Even the most daring fishermen did not dare to go out to sea when they saw the countless wrecks still left on the shore.
At the head of the city, looking at the slowly approaching Great Xia Navy, a trace of doubt flashed in Ruan Tianque's eyes, "Something is wrong!" How could the Great Xia Navy have such a small number of warships? ”
Li Li, who was standing on Ruan Tianque's side, said: "The enemy should have divided his troops. ”
"Look!" Ruan Tianque's eyes were full of mockery, "Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia, is worthy of being a hypocrite, and what he says to seek justice for the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce is actually to put us as mortal enemies." ”
"The wolf's ambition is obvious!" Li Li added.
Behind the two stood more than a dozen adventurous players, their identities were not simple, they were the leaders of the ten major guilds in Hanoi, and they came to Haiphong City to find out.
Listening to Ruan Tianque and Li Li singing and harmonizing, their expressions were quite complicated.
Ruan Tianque suddenly turned around, clenched his fists and said: "Everyone, the facts are already obvious, Great Xia is going to destroy our Annan, and please don't take chances." ”
"What do you want us to do, please give Brother Ruan a happy word!" There are also heroes among the adventurers, and since national war is inevitable, they are not afraid.
Annan's eight million players are not afraid of a great summer.
"Please also ask Brother Ruan to show me, the [Falcon Regiment] is at your disposal!"
Some followed, and of course others remained silent, apparently not yet decided.
When Ruan Tianque saw it, he didn't mind, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Since you brothers are so righteous, please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss a charter!" ”
"That's right!"
With that, the group left the city wall.
Judging by the situation, the Great Xia Navy was not in a hurry to attack the city, and Ruan Tianque was naturally not in a hurry.
On the way back to the city lord's mansion, Ruan Tianque quietly grabbed Li Li and said: "Since Daxia has divided its troops, then the two legions stationed in Da Nang City and Embankment City are in danger, and I also ask the general to immediately order the two legions to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and I will persuade the Inhuman troops to go south." ”
Ruan Tianque believed that if the two legions insisted on holding on, the two cities could hold on for at least a week, which was enough for the Inhuman troops to go south for reinforcements.
Of course, reinforcements can only rely on Inhuman troops.
At present, there are only 160,000 troops in Haiphong City, no matter whether Daxia is in a hurry to attack the city or not, Ruan Tianque will not transfer this army, which is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Haiphong City.
************
April 6, Da Nang City.
Da Nang City is located in the central part of Annam, connecting Hue in the north, Nha Trang in the south, backed by the Marble Mountains, and the Son Tra Peninsula in the northeast as a barrier.
Not far from the north of the city is the famous Haiyun Mountain.
Haiyun Mountain is from the border of Annam to the east, straight into the sea, Haiyun Ridge is its last peak, the altitude is 470 meters, the mountain is full of white clouds all the year round, fluttering with the wind, the grass and trees in the mountains are cages, the green bamboo becomes a forest, and the blue sky, the sea is like a whole, so that people linger and forget to return.
The mountain separates the north and the south, and its unique location is very important.
It is for this reason that the 3rd Army of Haiphong City was ordered to be stationed here. Yesterday morning, the commander of the corps, Pham Tien Minh, received an order from General Li Li, asking them to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
As soon as the military order was given, Fan Tianming didn't think about it, and immediately led his troops into the city and began to arrange the city defense. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Pham Tien Minh even implemented military management over Da Nang City, temporarily recruiting young and middle-aged people to assist the army in defending the city.
The focus of prevention is on the east side of the waterfront.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the first formation of the Yashan Fleet arrived as scheduled.
The focus of Great Xia's attack was on Da Nang City.
According to the battle plan drawn up by the Military Aircraft Department, as long as the city of Da Nang is taken first, it will be possible to cut the narrow Annam into two sections, so that it will not be able to deal with each other from end to end.
Therefore, the Battle of Da Nang City was the first highlight of the Battle of Annam.
Behind the first formation of the Yashan Fleet were two army corps, one was the Second Army Corps of the Praetorian Guard led by Huo Qubing himself, and the other was the Second Army of the City Guard Army led by Mu Guiying.
The two armies will cooperate with the Ya Son fleet to take Da Nang City in one fell swoop.
Ruan Tianque thought that he could hold on for a week, but he underestimated Daxia's strategic determination. Bai Qi gave Yu Dayou a death order, he couldn't take Da Nang City within two days, and he came to see him.
Yu Dayou got the order, so he could only transfer the pressure down with a roar, and shouted at the general soldiers and battalion leaders: "Listen to me, if you can't take Da Nang City in a day and a half, I'll screw off your heads." ”
As soon as the battalion leaders returned to the flagship, they hurriedly called the sentry commanders and captains, and said gloomily: "The Admiral said that if you can't take Da Nang City in a day, you will screw off my head." I am a very sorry person, before I am beheaded by the Admiral, I must cut off your heads first, so as not to be too lonely on the Huangquan Road. ”
One by one, the captains returned to their respective warships with pale faces, gathered all the officers and men of the ship, and loudly announced: "If we can't take Da Nang City in half a day, we will commit suicide collectively, there is no other way to live." ”
The soldiers at the bottom listened to this, their eyes blinked, and they couldn't figure out what the connection between Da Nang City and collective suicide was when they couldn't take it, what kind of new epidemic was this?!
The minions were puzzled.
When the first chief next to him saw it, he came up with a brain scoop, and shouted: "What are you still doing stupidly, pick up your weapon and prepare to kill the enemy, anyway, you will die." ”
Xiao Bing felt that what Captain A said was very reasonable, so he really didn't think about it anymore.
"Whatever, just follow the captain to rush forward when the time comes!"
…………
Like Hai Phong City, Da Nang City is also a coastal city, and its only weakness is on the seaside side.
After the fleet was in place, Yu Dayou, who was in command at the front line, did not hesitate and directly ordered the fleet to sail into the port for the first round of bombing and a clearance operation.
The military order is like a mountain, and Yu Dayou cannot be allowed to have the slightest mercy.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
For a time, the artillery fire rang out, and the merchant ships in the port were damaged, and the shells were blown into powder, and the sawdust flew sideways like sharp blades, and the waves had not yet been set off in the port.
In order to select a suitable landing site for the marines, under the command of Yu Dayou, the dense artillery directly razed the entire wharf to the ground.
In an instant, the pier turned into a sea of fire.
The billowing smoke rose up, was blown by the sea breeze, and floated to the city, choking the tears of the soldiers defending the city one by one. Compared with this, the soldiers were more afraid of the enemy's iron-blooded methods.
There is no meaningless shouting, and as soon as it comes up, it launches an onslaught; Without mercy, there are enemies as far as the eye can see, buildings are reduced to powder, people and animals are gone, and not a single grass is left.
In the face of such an iron-blooded army, the defending troops were cowardly before fighting.
When Fan Tianming saw it, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, the general's order was to hold on for a week, and if the city was broken, he could only apologize with death.
By the time the fire was extinguished, the entire dock was a scorched earth.
The air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and there was a faint smell of barbecue, thinking of the people struggling and screaming in the sea of fire, some of the soldiers defending the city couldn't help but vomit on the spot, their faces turned pale.
The young and middle-aged people who were temporarily recruited even vomited out of their bitter gall, their legs and feet were weak, and they no longer had any combat strength.
