Great Tang Southern Emperor

At the same time, with the exhaustion of the chain bombs, the enemy ship has already approached the port 150 kilometers away. At this range, the enemy ship also started to fight back. A [-]mm artillery shell was hit under the No. [-] Fort (This is the loud noise that Li Liang and Bu Xizhao heard), the artillery battle has officially begun...

"Finally we've reached this point." Sima Cuo sighed in the smoke-filled port.

"You don't have to worry, Lieutenant. Although the enemy still has counterattacks, they are not very strong. Presumably there are not many cannons." Guan Hong said next to him: "Besides, our coastal defense forts are all permanent fortifications of reinforced concrete. The thickness of the cement on the top of the head is more than one meter. Even if it is directly hit by the 150mm "Greed Wolf" cannon, it will be difficult to destroy. The maximum caliber of the enemy's cannon is only [-]mm. If you want to completely destroy the fort It is impossible to defend against them, unless they go directly into the fort..."

The coastal defense forts in all the ports of Datang were designed by Li Zhen, and most of them were shell-shaped. Not only were there surrounding concrete fortifications, but there was also a 'cover' that was more than one meter thick on the top of the head. It is guaranteed that even if the enemy's shells fall from the top of the head, it will not hurt the people and cannons inside the fort. It can be called a super tortoise shell. collapse, or shoot more accurately, and shoot the shell directly from the mouth of the 'shell'. Not only can it destroy the fort in one fell swoop, but also the explosion will be more powerful in a confined space, even if it overturns the entire fort. possible.

But it is not easy to achieve these two points. The former not only needs a more powerful cannon, but also requires a high degree of accuracy, not to mention the latter, and the requirement for accuracy has reached a perverted level , not to mention the enemy's incongruous cannon, even among all the cannons in Datang, only the 'Tanglang' cannon can barely do it, and the rest are not as good.

"That's right." Sima nodded wrongly. That's true. He was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, no one can tell how many people the enemy has planted inside us. There may also be enemy spies inside the fort. , you go to investigate and try to avoid accidents."

"It shouldn't be necessary." A school lieutenant belonging to the army said: "If the enemy had spies in the fort, they would have made a move long ago. Why did they lose so many ships? Besides, our fort guards are relatively independent. It is difficult for the enemy to infiltrate a branch of the military, so why should we bother to offend people for nothing?"

Sima Cuo shook his head and said: "There are no absolutes, it's better to take precautions. Even if nothing happens, it's just a rainy day, but if there are really spies, shouldn't we be a little bit prepared?"

"That's right." Guan Hong thought it made sense: "Then I'll go and arrange it now, and I'll leave the matter here to Captain Captain."

"Well, let's go." Sima waved his hand wrongly to let Guan Hong leave, and then ordered: "Everyone, don't watch, the enemy will land soon, you all go down too, and prepare according to our plan. "

"Yes." Everyone took orders one after another.

Chapter 1152 Prepare for Battle

Chapter 99 Ready for Battle

As the enemy fleet gets closer and closer to the port, the enemy has more and more guns that can join the battle.

But it is a pity, as Guan Hong said, the maximum caliber of the enemy's naval guns is only 150mm, and he is really powerless for the tortoise shells on the forts. So far, the entire coconut port coastal defense fort group has 25 forts, a total of 280 three There were cannons of various calibers, and only one fort was accidentally hit by the enemy, and the shells were shot into the fort position. None of the 76 people in the entire position survived, and even ten 150mm cannons were blown to waste. iron.

But that's all. None of the remaining 24 turrets were damaged. Although some were directly hit by people, most of them were hit on the periphery of the turrets. A little bit of concrete slag was knocked out, and the rest were not damaged at all. The defense is so strong. pole.

Compared with Yegang, the enemy really suffered heavy losses, and less than half of the [-] ships of various types remained. It really complied with the reasoning results of the staff department, and it was not bad at all-in addition, Ben Sanke had never I said that these [-] ships are all large troop carriers and warships. In fact, among all the ships, large troop carriers and warships only account for a small part, less than one-third, and the rest are small and medium-sized transport ships. Warships and assault boats designed for landing on the beach, etc., are all assembled by the major forces, and they alone can't take it out (maybe Cheng Jianxi can take out more than half, but they obviously won't do it) .

If they had more than a thousand large ships alone, why would they need to besiege and beat Li Zhen?Li Zhen could be knocked into the sea directly by a boat collision, which may cause much less damage than the siege.

But even though the enemy suffered heavy losses, these losses were all worth it - if you don't believe me, you can see that Sima Cuo's brows were still tightly frowned, and he ordered his men to get ready, because the war is about to begin.

That's right, the war is about to start, because there are not many ammunition for the major forts. The amount of ammunition is not very large, and on average, each cannon can only be divided into a few bases. If there are more, there may be four or five bases, while for the few, there are only about three bases.

Although the base numbers of various types of shells are different, even the smallest 120mm naval gun has a base number of about 150 rounds, and the 180mm coastal defense gun has a base number of 45 rounds. Less, only [-] rounds, and the base number of 'Tanlang' cannons is only [-] rounds.

The battle just now was so fierce, all the cannons were desperately venting their ammunition, and before they knew it, some of the cannons had already used up all their ammunition storage. It can be expected that in the next period of time, The major turrets will gradually stop roaring, and the speed of the enemy will increase again.

The second reason is that the barrel of the cannon can't stand it anymore - after such a long period of continuous shooting, the barrel of some cannons has been burned red, even if the temperature is sharply cooled with cooling water, it will not work. Before the enemy could be wiped out, his coastal defense artillery might explode first. At that time, many people would really die. If it caused a chain explosion, it would be even worse.

As for the third reason, it was even simpler, and that was that it couldn't hit—because of the shell-like structure, the left and right shooting circles of the fort were less than [-] degrees, and the high and low shooting circles were only less than [-] degrees.Moreover, the coastal defense guns are all heavy cannons, each of which weighs several tons, and are very difficult to move. In addition, in order to offset the recoil, all the cannons are semi-fixed on the ground, basically unable to adjust the angle by a large margin. It can be fine-tuned... All kinds of reasons combined together lead to the fact that after the enemy ship crosses the shooting range of the coastal defense gun, the coastal defense gun cannot adjust its shooting angle in time, and can only watch the enemy ship continue to advance , but he himself was unable to shoot.

At present, several enemy ships have passed the shooting limit of the coastal defense guns, and more warships will pass soon, and then they only need to enter the coconut port in a safe and sound way—the coconut boat at this time Although Hong Kong is not as beautiful as a naked beauty in front of the enemy, the resistance force is much worse than that of the coastal defense fort just now, and the resistance force is greatly reduced.

"Let all the cannons prepare to shoot, everyone prepares, the war is about to begin." Seeing that the speed of the enemy ship began to slow down, Sima Cuo knew that the enemy was about to land, so he naturally would not sit still and immediately placed all the cannons Arriving at the shore—and this is their defensive measure in itself, resisting the enemy's attack on the shore, not only because they have a small number of bullets and shells, and they cannot give full play to their advantages in street fighting, but more importantly, they are in the There are perfect fortifications on the shore of the port-these fortifications were originally integrated with the coastal defense forts. Attacking is very difficult.

But because the enemy made a strange move first and destroyed the arsenal of the defenders of Yegang, the lack of ammunition greatly reduced the defensive capabilities of these fortifications. It can be said that more than half of them were scrapped directly, but even so, the remaining fortifications were enough Let the enemy's blood spill over Yegang Port—of course, after the enemy breaks through the fortification defense, Yegang will really become a beauty without any protection, and can only wait for the enemy's luck.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"..."

Not only the cannons are ready, but all the guns and bullets in the hands of the soldiers are also loaded and ready for battle.

The enemy is now only ten kilometers away from the port. With the wind speed, they will arrive soon, and the war will come soon, but no one is nervous behind the position. After all, they are all veterans of many battles, and they usually go deep into the jungle. Having fought against those natives of Luzon, how can those who can survive such a war be afraid of a mere landing battle on the beach?

Although they have never fought such an anti-beach landing, the anti-beach landing battle is much simpler than jungle warfare or street fighting-the enemy rushes forward in rows, and the beach is densely packed with people. It's almost equivalent to queuing up to be shot. You and others only need to shoot, and you don't even need to aim. Even a recruit who has just entered the battlefield will fight such a battle. What is there to worry about?

Chapter 1153

Chapter 100 Added Misfortune

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you survive our defense?" The beachhead was quickly prepared under the command of Sima Cuo. If things go well, the enemy will definitely spill blood here.

Sima Cuo is quite confident about this. After all, the guardian force of Yegang is in units of 1. In addition to the [-] defenders in the fortifications, there are more than [-] marines in the rear camp as reserves. , in the urban areas behind, there are thousands of troops in each large area... As long as you resist layer by layer, the coastal defense forts are over and you will fight for beach landings. If the battalion fell, they would retreat to the city to fight street battles. If it couldn't be done, they would fortify the walls and clear the field. In short, it would definitely not make people comfortable...

Under such layers of resistance, the enemy needs to pay thousands of manpower losses and time losses every time they occupy a position. It must be difficult, and maybe they have to give up attacking Yegang.

Seeing the enemy ship getting closer and closer, Sima Cuo's eyes flashed a trace of coldness: "I want to see how many of you are dead enough? Lord Protector will be back soon, and your time is running out... "

More importantly, after resisting like this, the time lost by the enemy will be counted in days. If he resists for one more day, the time for Fang Yiai to come back will be one day less, and the enemy's time will also be one day less...

But will the enemy really let him go so smoothly?

"Kill!"

"Bah!"

"Huh?" The enemy had already started to put down the landing ship, but Sima Cuo was not nervous at all, but at this moment, a slight sound of killing suddenly came from behind him, which made his heart tense suddenly.

"What's going on? Where did the gunshot come from?" A bad thought flashed through Sima Cuo's mind, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's not good, Lieutenant..." A brigade commander dressed as an army rushed over with blood on his face: "The Marine Corps rebelled, and they killed everyone they saw. Our brothers are about to be overwhelmed. Request support……"

"How is it possible?" Sima Miss exclaimed in surprise: "Where is Guan Hong? Call me Guan Hong, how did he become a general?"

The brigade commander said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, it was Guan Hong who took the lead in the rebellion. Our captain has been killed by him, and their bullets are more than ours. Please send troops to support it, otherwise we really can't stop it!" It's..."

"Damn it... how could he rebel?" Sima Cuo was confused, how could Guan Hong rebel?Suddenly, he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Guan Hong since just now, and thought he was going to arrange the defense mission of the fort. Who knew he was going to rebel...

"By the way, what slogan was he shouting?" Sima Cuo suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

As I said before, rebellion needs to shout slogans, because only in this way can people tell others that they are on the side of justice. If the slogans are wrong, no one will follow him to rebel—now Sima Cuo hopes that the officials Hong used slogans to fool his subordinates. In this way, things might turn around, and he might still have the possibility to refute Guan Hong.

The brigade commander thought about it for a while, and said: "It seems to be fighting the local tyrants, dividing the land, making the people the masters of the house, liberating the poor and the poor, and establishing a new Tang Dynasty..."

"What?" Sima was stunned, not only him, everyone was stunned, it was such a slogan - this is a blatant rebellion, that is to say, the marines knew that they were rebelling, this is not true It's so rebellious... What should I do now?

"..." Sima was confused. He thought that Guan Hong's Marine Corps rebelled through lies, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. It can be seen from the slogan that the Marine Corps is very clear that they are rebelling. And they also have their own goals, no matter whether they were fooled or not, they obviously cannot be persuaded back with words-this matter will not be easy to solve, it will be a big trouble...

"I won't say anything about beating the local tyrants, but dividing the land? Is dividing the land an excuse?" Someone wondered: "Now the Tang Dynasty is full of land. As long as you are hardworking, even if you are hardworking, it is not a problem to open up a hundred acres. Does this thing still use points? Are all Marines pigs?"

"That's right..." Others echoed: "Dividing the land... If it was said 20 years ago, it might have some effect, but now Datang lacks everything, except land. If you don't have land, go to open up wasteland. , you can still get rewards if you open up more wasteland, do you still need to rob others?"

"God knows what they think." Sima Cuo is also very entangled. Land is everywhere. It can be said that it is the cheapest commodity in Datang. Years ago, such things as land were not very rare. After all, the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty had just passed, and the land was redistributed. It is okay for people to eat enough, the only difference may be that the degree of fertility and barrenness of the land are different.

However, since Nanyang fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, this problem has been completely solved. As long as you have the courage to immigrate, the imperial court will not only not want your money, but will give you the most fertile land for free, as well as farm tools, seeds and Farming cattle collars may even give you a part of the money, so it is obviously better to open up wasteland by yourself than to buy someone else's, let alone rob...
