Red Alert 1895

Chapter 669: Landing in Dagukou

Here in Tianjin Port, some American soldiers from the Eight-Nation Allied Forces began to guard the port here, because this is the last retreat of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. ", the Eight-Power Allied Forces landed from the Dagukou Fort, and then attacked Tianjin along the way. Decades ago, the British and French allied forces also landed from here, and then entered Beijing to burn the Old Summer Palace, which became a shame to China. Back then, thousands of British and French allied forces landed here, relying on thousands of people to defeat the tens of thousands of squadrons, the Chinese army could hardly bring any obstacles to the British and French allied forces. But this time, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had more than ten times more soldiers than before, but now they have nothing to do with the tens of thousands of squadrons on the opposite side, and they are even being slaughtered by others at any time.

Now, the top leaders of the Eight-Power Allied Forces have begun to order soldiers to strengthen the security of Dagukou, and they attach great importance to this Dagukou, because they know that this will be their only retreat from the sea.

"You guarded this Taku Fort for me. This is our last retreat." An American military officer said.

But someone immediately asked, "Sir, have we lost this war?"

"Without losing, how could our great Americans be defeated by a group of yellow-skinned monkeys?" the US military officer shouted.

But the soldiers under him didn't give him face, saying: "If we are not defeated, why should we consider retreating?"

And the other also said: "What's the use of us thinking about retreating? I heard that the navy has been defeated, and the control of the entire East China Sea and the Yellow Sea has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. They will not be opponents of the enemy's navy. Once at sea, our army will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness, but it will be easily wiped out by the enemy's navy at once, and our losses will be even greater! So, instead of this, it is better to surrender as soon as possible."

The U.S. military officer is hot, of course he knows that the situation is very bad this time, and the group of eight-nation coalition forces have been cut off their retreat. They landed from the sea, and now the command of the sea has fallen into the hands of the Taiwan Navy. It is not so easy for their army to retreat even if they want to retreat. Although their troop carriers have a small amount of armed force, they face the Taiwanese battleships. That's not worth mentioning at all. Once on the ship, Taiwan's navy will directly sink their troop carrier, and the army will sink with the ship.

"So, I think it's better to take advantage of the fact that we still have some strength on land, maybe we can negotiate with the Chinese and let us go back safely. If we go directly to the ship, their navy will not deal with us. It's a waste of effort. So we still have peace talks with them when Chen He's strength is not greatly damaged, and maybe we can withdraw from the war with dignity."

The words of these soldiers made the American military officer quite tempted. Because if you can sign a contract with Taiwan while the more than 100,000 people of the Eight-Power Allied Forces still have a certain strength, and then withdraw from the war in a relatively decent way, this is also a good choice. If the fight continues, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will lose all face. At that time, it will not be so easy to withdraw from the war with dignity. Internationally, don't you just want to save face? If you have no face, who will take you seriously? It's best to save face.

"It's not good. An enemy warship is coming!" A US military observer immediately shouted.

Soon, warships appeared outside Dagukou, Tianjin. Then they looked at the yellow tiger flags with a blue background flying on these warships, and immediately knew that they were warships from Taiwan.

On a cruiser, Sa Zhenbing and Li Yuanhong discussed matters here and began to order soldiers to fight.

"Commander Sa, our marines will cooperate with your navy this time. It's our first landing battle. This time we rely on you to take the lead!" Li Yuanhong said.

Sa Zhenbing, who currently has the most experience in amphibious operations. Responsible for commanding the combat order for the landing at Dagukou in Tianjin. The Dagukou operation in Tianjin can be regarded as a stage for the enemy's rear, and let the Marine Corps and the Army cooperate in operations to attack these eight-nation coalition forces on both sides. can effectively annihilate them.

"Order the naval guns to cover, and then let the commandos of the Marine Corps charge and land on the beach!" Sa Zhenbing said.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The artillery of the Taiwan Navy cruiser began to bombard those Dagukou Forts violently, and the Dagukou Forts suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames. And those defenders stationed by the United States at the Dagukou Fort immediately began to flee, and then died and ran away within a few minutes. Obviously, no one stayed behind. These ordinary army soldiers faced the powerful naval guns of the cruiser, and their flesh and blood could not resist these very powerful naval guns, so they immediately ran away if they did not die.

However, the reason why they didn't dare to stay and resist was that apart from their flesh and blood, the more reason was that the Dagukou Fortress didn't have many fortifications that could allow them to resist. Because the Dagukou Fort is a fort built by China, it has been unable to withstand the bombardment of foreign navies decades ago. The artillery of the Dagukou Fort here is seriously behind, and it is impossible for them to hit the enemy's warships. Originally, the Qing army could not counterattack the foreign troops, but now these Americans naturally cannot use the cannons of these Dagukou Forts to counterattack. If it is a fort built by a foreign country with advanced shore artillery, they may stay and fight back. But at present, this is a fort built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China, and their fools also know that it is impossible to use it to fight back. To fight back is to seek death.

"Commando, follow me!" Li Yuanhong said.

"Come on!"

More than a thousand Marine Corps commandos began to rush up quickly. They rushed up in rubber boats wrapped in iron plates, preparing to land on the beach of the Dagukou Fort here. These commandos are the most elite units in the Marine Corps, so their purpose is to grab the beachhead, open a gap for the follow-up troops, and then create a good opportunity for landing. And this commando team responsible for beachheading is one of the most elite units in the Marine Corps, except for the special forces in the Marine Corps, they are also the most elite. Because they have to meet the enemy's artillery fire and machine guns to charge, and after charging up, they have to transform into a combat state as soon as possible, so they must be very demanding. Although this assault force only has more than a thousand people, it is completely composed of a reinforced regiment, and the corresponding level in other armies is also division level, which can be regarded as a high level.

"Come on! Hurry up and go ashore!"

The first commandos went up to the shore, and then they searched for them, and then they looked for the enemy.

"Report, we didn't find any living enemies, only a small number of enemy corpses!" someone said immediately.

"Hmph, even if they were not killed by the bombardment by the naval artillery, they all retreated immediately."

But someone immediately said: "Then why do we need to rush to land on the beach? Just let all the troops press up, and no one will fight back anyway!"

"Idiot, didn't the military academy tell you that you have to do your best when a lion fights a rabbit?"

"Okay, stop arguing, quickly send a signal to let the troops behind follow up, and then quickly complete the landing!"

"Papa papa..."

Signal flares were sent out from the sky, indicating that the beachhead troops had seized the beachhead, and the follow-up troops could land.

"All marines, start landing for me!" Li Yuanhong said.

If the front beach troops were all small boats, then the second and third batches of troops all used large landing ships. After the first batch of beachheads successfully landed, the relative danger of the second batch of people was much lower, so large landing ships could be used, and they were not afraid of enemy firepower. Especially those first batch of beach-rushing troops had stabilized their foothold, so naturally there was no need to worry about any follow-up troops being attacked halfway through.

"Damn it, this landing battle is not as difficult as the usual drills! I really thought I could get an actual combat exercise, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Li Yuanhong snorted.

The Americans were too careless this time, and the Americans ran away just after the naval guns bombed. This is not as difficult as the usual drills.

"Okay, Li Yuanhong, you don't have to be too complacent. If our Dagukou fort was built by foreigners this time~lightnovelpub.net~ instead of those backward dynasties of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then you don't You will be so proud. If you go to fight against foreign countries in the future, the forts built by foreigners are much more powerful than ours in the Qing Dynasty, and they will not give up casually. This time, it is not so much that you take the initiative to attack, it is better to say that the Americans have already They chose to retreat knowing that they couldn’t do anything, so they retreated on their own initiative, and you didn’t attack them!” Sa Zhenbing said.

"Okay, let's set off as soon as possible. Since we can't get victory in the landing battle, then we can get victory on land!" Li Yuanhong said.

"Marines, go ahead and deal with these foreigners severely, and let them see our strength!" Li Yuanhong said.

Soon, the marine division began to advance rapidly, trying to block the enemy's retreat, leaving them nowhere to retreat. The mission of the Marine Division this time is to block their retreat and prevent them from retreating from the sea, so that they can fight to wipe out their enemies on land.

However, Sa Zhenbing thought suspiciously: "Why doesn't Lord Wang let them evacuate from the sea, so that we can directly bombard them with naval guns, and then their more than 100,000 troops will completely sink to the bottom of the sea and be wiped out. Isn't it easier?" (To be continued.) u
