Chapter 149 Attacking Yangcun (2)

However, the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile is an advanced weapon far beyond this era, and it is large in number, so it is impossible to be useless. Tonight, I found the location of the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile, which is used to strike ground targets.

Although Yangcun has built complete fortifications, they are all used to deal with ground attacks, and they are basically powerless to attack from the air. What's more, the Eight-Nation Alliance camps inside Yangcun are completely unprepared. The drone observations are very clear that the Eight-Nation Alliance camps are mainly houses and tents in Yangcun. The Chinese houses in this era are naturally made of wooden structures, and tents are not used. They are all flammable items, which are just suitable for weapons such as the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile with limited power but large numbers.

Before the battle, the Navy planned to use up to 0 Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles in this battle, with 4 as a batch, first three batches of strikes, and then determine whether to carry out the last two batches of strikes depending on the effect of the attack.

At one o'clock in the morning, the crossing army, which had been fully caring, set off from Beicang and sneaked into the ambush near Yangcun. Although the Eight-Nation Alliance set up many secret sentries outside Yangcun, unfortunately the crossing army was equipped with night vision equipment, and these secret sentries were basically visible in the eyes of the crossing army, so they would not alarm them at all.

Just at the early morning clock, the Kunming ship first launched four Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles in turn. Three minutes later, the Yueyang ship also launched four Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles, and then the Sanya ship also launched four Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles. Three batches of 1 Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles successively left the warship's launch box and flew towards Yangcun.

Just as the last batch of Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles left the hull, the first batch of four Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles had flew over Yangcun and fell, and exploded in the camp of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Although the power of the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile is insufficient, this is compared with other missiles. The charge of more than 0 kilograms is actually not counted in this era. The total weight of the mainstream 05mm caliber naval shells in this era is about 50 kilograms, but the charge is only more than 50 kilograms. Considering the difference in the power of gunpowder in the two eras, the actual effect is not much different.

A Haihongqi 16 air defense missile landed and exploded. Within a radius of 50 meters, there was basically no drop. Even if it was not killed, it was shocked to death. At the same time, the huge impact force and the actual killing range of flame debris brought out can be expanded to about 100 meters. What's more, the four Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles fell into the camp, causing a large amount of damage to the camp. More than 00 soldiers died directly from the explosion, and caused many fires in the camp.

This series of explosions naturally alarmed the commanders of various countries. In fact, no one was sleeping soundly tonight, just to beware of the attack of overseas Chinese. Therefore, after hearing the explosion, they stood up and left the room. Many people didn't even have time to put on their military uniforms. After seeing the scene in the camp, they were shocked. What weapons did this group of overseas Chinese use? They could actually directly attack their camps and cause such huge damage.

Large-caliber naval guns can certainly cause such damage, but Yangcun is more than 50 kilometers away from the nearest beach. In this era, there are no such long-range naval guns. Of course, land war guns also have large caliber. However, a land war gun with a caliber exceeding 00 mm is usually called a super-caliber artillery. Generally, such artillery is very heavy, reaching more than 100 tons. Therefore, it is only used as a fortress cannon and shore defense cannon, and it cannot be towed away by installing a wheel. If it is to be used in field battles, sometimes it is necessary to lay tracks before it can be operated.

Moreover, an ultra-large caliber cannon requires at least two or three hundred people to serve. Regardless of transportation, arrangement, and preparation, it will cause great noise. It is not because of this restrictive factor that ultra-large caliber cannons have been popularized in the armies of various countries, and countries will not regard 100mm caliber cannons as large caliber. If overseas Chinese troops use ultra-large caliber artillery, it would be impossible for the Eight-Nation Alliance to notice that they have not seen it.

Just when the commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance were puzzled, the second round of Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles fell from the air and exploded in the Eight-Nation Alliance's camp, causing major casualties and material losses to the Eight-Nation Alliance, because this explosion also triggered some of the Eight-Nation Alliance's ammunition explosions, forming a chain reaction, and increasing the chaos in the camp.

At this time, the commanders of various countries were also a little scared, because many people had seen it clearly just now. The ones that fell into the camp were a kind of fire-breathing artillery shell. Of course, not many people were concerned about the difference between shells. Instead, these two rounds of strikes were only more than three minutes apart. Compared with the super-caliber artillery used in field battles on land, the rate of fire was quite fast. After all, field guns are not as good as naval guns or fortress guns. They have special fixed ammunition supply devices, so the rate of fire is naturally much slower. But the shells fired by overseas Chinese are obviously much faster than ordinary field super-caliber artillery. So what kind of weapon is this group of overseas Chinese using? Have they solved the typing of super-caliber artillery, making it easier to move super-caliber artillery, and the problem of filling in field battles? If this is true, then this will be an epoch-making artillery transformation.

Before the commanders of various countries could wake up from their contemplation, the third round of strikes fell from the sky. In three consecutive rounds of one Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles all landed in the camps of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which not only caused a large number of casualties, but also caused great psychological pressure to the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, because whether it was super-large caliber artillery or other weapons, this kind of enemy could fight you, but you could not defeat the enemy. Even if the enemy was not there, how could you fight such a battle? Therefore, the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance began to flee in a large number of camps.

At the beginning, the commanders of various countries were still pointing fingers and trying to control the situation, but as the fourth round of strikes arrived as scheduled, the commanders of various countries finally gave up. First, the situation is now in chaos and cannot be controlled at all; second, I still don’t know how many such artillery shells are still there for overseas Chinese to spit on fire. After all, the Eight-Nation Alliance has no way to stop them. If there are a few more rounds of such attacks, it will be useless even if the situation is controlled. It will be messy at that time, and the shells will not have eyes. Who knows that they will fall there? What if a shell falls on their heads?

After the fourth round of Haihongqi 16 air defense missile fell, Yangcun's camp had completely fallen into a sea of ​​fire. The houses and tents were all blown up, and there were fires everywhere. The soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance ran around like headless flies, hoping to find a way out of the fires. At this moment, the army passing through the army also launched an attack on Yangcun.

Although most of the Haihongqi 16 missiles landed in the camp in Yangcun and did not affect the surrounding positions, the camp had become a sea of ​​fire at this time, and even the scorching fire could be felt on the positions. Moreover, the soldiers in the camp fled in all directions, and many people ran to the positions, which also brought a huge impact to the soldiers who were left in the positions. Naturally, no one was still willing to stay on the positions, so most of the soldiers also fled from the positions.

After the cross-border army launched an attack, it easily broke through Yangcun's defense line and entered the camp of the Eight-Nation Alliance. This also became the last straw to suppress camels.

In fact, there were still many people in the Eight-Nation Alliance at this time. The number of casualties was less than 2,000 when the Haihongqi 16 missile hit. In terms of strength, the Eight-Nation Alliance was far above the crossing army. However, at this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance's morale was in chaos and had no fighting spirit. Moreover, most of the soldiers had just woken up from their sleep, and they were not even dressed in neat clothes, let alone weapons. Therefore, they still had the ability to resist. The battle suddenly turned into a complete defeat. Some soldiers who could not escape threw down their weapons and surrendered to the crossing army.

When it was dawn, the battle was over. At this time, the entire Yang Village was almost burned by the fire, and there were still flames remaining in many places, emitting a large amount of black smoke. Almost everywhere were the corpses of the Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers, and they could not determine how many Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers had been wiped out in detail, because many of the bodies were burned by the fire and could not be recognized at all. The captured coalition soldiers alone reached more than 1,000. Therefore, it can only be estimated that the Eight-Nation Alliance was wiped out in this battle. In fact, there were only more than 8,000 left in the Eight-Nation Alliance that fled back to Beijing.

However, although the results of this battle were huge, there were not many spoils seized, because the guns, ammunition and supplies carried by the Eight-Nation Alliance were almost destroyed in the fire in Yangcun. Therefore, the crossing army only picked up more than a thousand rifles, more than ten intact cannons, and some other not-so-large materials from the battlefield.
