The battle for the beach-grabbing landing went smoothly.

Enemy artillery fire had limited damage against small assault boats in motion, and direct hits were almost impossible.

But after all, it is not a professional military assault boat, and the stability of the kayak used by this fishing bar brother can only be said to be average.

After all, there are no crocodiles or anything in the domestic waters, and the giant snail blue and other strong monsters are by no means the prey that the fishing bar brother can catch, and basically will not overturn.

However, the shells made a splash, and the rapid water speed of the New Yellow River itself formed a small area of turbulence, causing about 20 assault boats to capsize.

Fortunately, there are two sets of life jackets on each boat, the commandos can swim for most of them, and the capsized rubber boat does not look like a sunken iron-hulled ship, not only does it not cause a whirlpool that pulls people down, but also provides a perfect support point.

Therefore, although a total of dozens of people entered the water, less than 10 unlucky people were affected by the impact of the river and disappeared.

Most of the assault boats successfully reached the river beach on the opposite bank.

The commandos immediately sought cover to provide cover for the bridge sappers, while taking off their striking orange life jackets and changing into second-class and second-class heads.

The total weight of the armed police tactical body armor and standard helmet standard in the Ming Army is only a few kilograms, although it cannot be worn on the body when crossing the river, but it will not take up too much weight space when placed on the assault boat.

However, this time the enemy is obviously much more difficult than the stinky fish and rotten shrimp encountered in Washington State before.

About 500 meters ahead, the Oregon National Guard, which occupied the commanding heights, tried to organize a line of infantry and swooped down to attack the Ming vanguard that had not gained a firm foothold.

As a result, many of the Ming soldiers had to start shooting at the enemy before they had time to pierce the armor, and casualties were inevitable.

Fortunately, this is no longer the era of infantry, and the real commanding heights are not the hillside occupied by the National Guard, but the sky above them.

Although the performance of the sailor's drone in this battle was a little stretched, after a few rounds of bomb dropping, it gradually mastered factors such as wind direction, and the hit rate rebounded.

In addition, the "Yangzhou" and "Zhenjiang" also gave fire support in real time to suppress the local artillery positions, and for a while, the line that the Oregon National Guard had barely organized was beaten to pieces.

In the binoculars, Zhu Fugui finally saw the appearance of the enemy commander clearly.

This is a middle-aged man who is blind in one eye, not tall, but very murderous.

Zhu Fugui witnessed him draw his saber and stab a musketeer trying to escape, skillfully cutting off his head as a deterrent.

This kind of method, Zhu Fugui thought that it was only available in Asia, but he didn't expect that Baipi was also very skilled.

"After all, it was the last winner in the Great Colonial Era, and there are still a few capable people in Citigroup!"

Zhu Fugui had to affirm the one-eyed dragon's commanding art.

From the beginning, although it did not serve any purpose in the low-walled artillery position, to the fact that it could not be turned into a river beach blockade, so that it braved the air raid to organize a line of guns and charge, this one-eyed dragon was definitely a qualified, and even excellent, commander of the breech gun era.

Unfortunately, times have changed!

When the improvised pontoon bridge was finally built, Qi Wenchang issued an order to the support troops that had already been ready: "Wave the Sun and Moon White Tiger Army Flag and prepare to cross the river!" ”

Immediately afterwards, 2,000 elite infantrymen in full armor and armor, under the cover of artillery, began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

The one-eyed dragon, Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman, commander of the Oregon National Guard, saw that the tide was turning, and the other lieutenants rode on fast horses and fled south, and the soldiers who had been spurred by him to form a suicide line were also scattered.

By this point, Portland's treacherous attempt to intercept the troops north of the New Yellow River had been completely bankrupt, and the infantry and cavalry had begun sweeping the tail end before the armored forces had even crossed the river.

……

Zhu Fugui also stepped on the temporary pontoon bridge with the support of Yin Susu.

I have to say that this kind of polyethylene pontoon bridge is also intimately equipped with a railing, but walking on it, Zhu Fugui still feels that he is playing a super adventure, and he has a feeling that he will become Zhu Houzhao's second at any time.

Fortunately, in the end, the pontoon bridge of several hundred meters was completed without danger.

This experience made Zhu Fugui realize that with the development of the Ming Dynasty, the necessity of his own personal expedition seemed to be getting lower and lower.

It's just that how to persuade Aifei to stay in the rear is a problem.

Upon arrival on the south bank, the army had cleared the enemy within a radius of 3 km.

Rock reported the results to Zhu Fugui.

In this battle, according to a rough count, the Ming Dynasty killed at least 3,700 enemy soldiers, destroyed more than 30 artillery pieces, captured 22 ships, sank 2 inland river ships, and damaged and captured 2 ships.

Among them, more than 1,430 enemies were directly killed by artillery on the river beach position, and more than 1,700 enemies were killed by the three-in-one attack of the sea, land and air force after landing, and the rest of the enemy died in the follow-up pursuit.

According to conservative estimates, the remaining living forces of the enemy are at least about two thousand people.

Add in the garrison left behind by the Oregon National Guard and the conscripted militia, and the total number of enemies may still be more than 5,000.

Considering the general policy of preserving itself over destroying the enemy, the command decided to wait until the armored forces were in place before launching an attack on Portland.

However, some minor difficulties were encountered in the construction of a high-level pontoon bridge that could be opened to traffic.

The speed of the new Yellow River was much higher than that of the Daming River and its tributaries, which were trained in normal times, so it took the bridge-erecting engineers a full seven hours to erect a reliable pontoon bridge.

But it was already approaching dusk, and it would take at least an hour to wait until all the vehicles had passed.

At Zhu Fugui's suggestion, the command decided to set up a temporary camp, rest for the night, and launch a general assault on Portland City tomorrow.

Doing so, of course, is not conducive to the total annihilation of the enemy army.

But to be honest, Zhu Fugui had no interest in completely annihilating the enemy army.

There are now at least a million white people in the western United States, and it is too expensive to shoot all the bullets, and they are willing to run back to the east to fight for internal friction, and it is too late for Zhu Fugui to welcome them.

After all, the fertility rate of white people in this era is also terrifyingly high, and there are fertility factories like Europe itself, and it is impossible to reduce their population by slaughter alone.

We must think of some ingenious ways to institutionally, culturally, and morally, so that the white race can take the old path of the future generations before they reach the peak of the population.

Therefore, after defeating the main force of the enemy, Zhu Fugui prepared to advance slowly, not only to ensure that his own losses were minimized, but also to leave the opportunity for the white men to roll back to the east to participate in the Great Northern War.

Of course, if they covet their property in Portland and are obsessed, Zhu Fugui will also let them taste the whip of Daming's steel.

After all, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded, and the number of mines will naturally increase, and there are not enough white slaves!
