Valley Emperor

In order to make meritorious deeds, Hu Baoguan worked hard to come to Malacca to participate in the war. Although he is injured, he still insists that he will not be on the line of fire, because once he is on the line of fire.

Many subsequent military exploits also flew away, and at most it was a consolation prize such as a Bronze Star Medal.

He Hu Baoguan worked so hard to come to Malacca City, not to get a Bronze Star Medal, a consolation medal specially designed for wounded soldiers!

In this trip, even if you can't get a double sword medal for yourself, you must at least write a note on your resume to prepare for the subsequent promotion.

However, if you want to make meritorious deeds, you can't rely on it. As the chief of staff of the 57th Infantry Regiment, how much military merit can he make, and the performance of the 57th Infantry Regiment, or more simply, Dong Qiankun The performance of the interim leader is closely related.

Looking at Dong Qiankun's appearance now, Hu Baoguan still thinks that this person is more reliable!

After the tactical discussion with Hu Baoguan, Dong Qiankun told him to pay attention to the injury, and then left with his adjutant and several other officers.

Now that the general attack is about to start, he needs to make final adjustments according to the battle plan!

The 57th Infantry Regiment is the main infantry regiment with four infantry battalions, an infantry artillery unit, a baggage unit and several other auxiliary forces, with a total strength of 4,000.

It is not an easy task to command these 4,000 people to fight!

As the general attack approaches, there are still many things waiting for Dong Qiankun to arrange them one by one.

Time passed gradually, and it was almost eight o'clock soon. At this time, the troops of the 57th Infantry Regiment, especially the elite troops who were preparing to act as the first wave of the attack, had already entered the traffic trenches dug in advance, ready to pass through. These traffic ditches are close together.

However, time is tight, and the traffic trenches are not dug enough. It is impossible for the entire 57th Infantry Regiment's offensive troops to advance through the traffic trenches. In fact, most troops still use the most primitive way to run from the ground. Approach quickly, then attack.

And the vanguard troop advancing through the traffic trenches and preparing to approach the attack is naturally not an ordinary troop. This troop is a grenadier troop from the 57th Infantry Regiment.

The grenadier unit has always been synonymous with the elite infantry in the Datang Army. No matter in terms of physical fitness or combat experience, they are much more than ordinary soldiers.

The main force of this spearheaded grenadier unit is the 2nd Grenadier Unit of the 572nd Infantry Battalion. In addition to this 6th Grenadier Unit, there are also 3rd Grenadier Units of the 573rd Infantry Battalion. Two grenadier platoons were drawn.

Therefore, this leading grenadier unit is an elite unit with five platoons and a total strength of more than 240 people. The commander of this unit is Captain Shi Enli, the captain of the 2nd Grenadier Team of the 572nd Battalion. .

The establishment of grenadiers is generally limited to the size of the team. Each main infantry battalion will have one. Therefore, in theory, a main infantry regiment will have four grenadier teams, and a main infantry division will have twelve. Grenadiers, the twelve grenadiers, arranged in numbers from one to twelve.

Lieutenant Shi Enli, now with his cat on his waist, led his more than two hundred grenadiers to advance through the traffic trench, and while advancing, he did not forget to instruct: "Everyone pay attention, don't look up!"

At this time, they were only 70 to 80 meters away from the northern city head of Malacca City. At this distance, they were already within the range of a large number of light weapons of the enemy, whether it was the Folang cannon and other small weapons. Shotguns with calibers, or those arquebuses, can kill them effectively at this distance.

When the troops advanced for about tens of meters and came to about fifty meters from the city wall, they stopped because there was no traffic trench in front of them. When they attacked, they needed to jump out of the trench and head towards the city head for a charge.

At this distance, it can be judged that when they jumped out of the trenches, they were likely to be intercepted by the intensive firepower of the Portuguese.

Shi Enli also showed a serious expression when he thought that he might be intercepted by intensive firepower later.

Although these grenadiers are said to be wearing light breastplates, but these breastplates are at this distance, the shrapnel of the shotgun and the bullets of the arquebus, especially the heavy muskets that the Portuguese have equipped in large quantities. The bullets are basically useless!

Even some grenadiers knew this. Before the war, they didn't wear these optional breastplates at all, but went into battle in cloth military uniforms. Shi Enli didn't express any opinion on this.

His life was his own, and the soldiers under his command believed that not wearing a breastplate would save his life, and he would naturally not stop him.

Besides, he didn't wear a breastplate himself!

In recent years, when the Datang Army is fighting, it is generally only when the enemy is using a lot of cold weapons, especially bows and arrows, that all staff will wear armor.

However, in some battles, if the enemy uses a lot of firearms, the soldiers often throw away their armor to fight. This kind of thing has become more and more frequent in recent years, and most of them are the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers. Low-level officers generally do not stop, and high-level generals also turn a blind eye to this.

But even with such an atmosphere, the distribution of armor is still the same, it is auxiliary arms, and they can all get a light breastplate.

Today's reinforced second grenadier team, at least half of the grenadiers are unarmored, not without armor, but unwilling to wear armor, which affects their mobility and consumes more The physical fitness, and more importantly, apart from psychological comfort, the guns and guns of the Portuguese are basically useless.

So some veterans simply threw away their armor.

Lying in the trenches, Shi Enli observed the city head not far away!

The Melaka city wall in front is very different from the traditional Chinese city wall. First of all, its outer building is not actually a solid brick, but sand.

If you say it's a city wall, it's better to say it's a mound

why?

Because the artillery of these days is too powerful, the outer wall of the bastion, especially the part that will directly face a lot of shelling, if it is built with hard masonry, then when the hard masonry is bombarded, it cannot be absorbed. Not to mention the kinetic energy of shells and shrapnel, and because of the firmness of their surfaces, they will produce very terrifying ricochet.

resulting in more serious damage!

Therefore, many bastions, in fact, the outer city walls, especially the parts that are easily bombarded by enemy artillery such as artillery turrets, are often made of soil.

The soil seems to have little defense, but in fact, the effect of absorbing kinetic energy is quite good!

What the grenadier troops led by Shi Enli wanted to conquer was a city defense fort extending dozens of meters from the city wall of Malacca. On the surface, this city defense fort was actually a huge mound!

But don't doubt the protective ability of this seemingly simple mound!

In fact, the soil is only the outer covering, and the core structure inside is also the structure of masonry!

In the shelling a few days ago, the artillery of the Datang Army once carried out intensive shelling on this place, almost blowing up the buildings on the surface, but this morning, it is still possible to see the fort with Portuguese artillery fired back.

The above concluded that in addition to the traditional open-air fort, this fort must also have artillery in its internal buildings!

This built-in artillery is very difficult to destroy, even if the Portuguese cannot deploy any large-caliber artillery in it, although deploying some shotguns is enough to cause great trouble for the siege troops.

Therefore, the top priority of his grenadier unit is to conquer this prominent fort. After conquering this fort, it is best to follow the passage connecting the fort to the main city wall and directly enter the city wall.

And here, it is also regarded as a weak area in the city defense of Malacca by many staff officers of the 57th Infantry Regiment, ready to attack as the main point of attack.

After all, although this fort is said to be powerful in defense, it can also pose a great threat to Datang's offensive troops, but if this fort can be captured, then basically it can be declared that a gap in the city defense of Malacca has been opened.

Through this gap, the 57th Infantry Regiment was able to launch a tide-like attack and completely open up the situation.

Just when Shi Enli was on the northern battlefield, waiting for the final general attack, the Malacca port, the naval **** ships in the combined landing fleet, including two huge battleships, appeared in the port again and used their number. Numerous, large-caliber naval guns bombarded the wharf section violently.

At the same time, the 2nd Guards Temporary Regiment began to bypass the eastern city wall and quickly marched along the coastline towards the port. They would attack from the port under the cover of naval guns.

At this time, the Portuguese on the top of the city had already sensed that the war was coming. After all, they were not blind, and could see the large-scale maneuvers of the siege troops of Datang and the preparations before the war.

It's just that there is no way to do it even if you see it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because their artillery units basically have only artillery pieces left, but there are not many artillery pieces left, so there is no way to conduct mid- and long-distance interception operations.

They can only passively wait for Datang's siege troops to attack before resisting!

The Datang people outside the city are about to launch a general attack, which makes a vote of Portuguese officials and officers terrified!

Can you hold on?

Even the most optimistic Portuguese dare not answer this question easily: Yes!

In fact, most people are very pessimistic on this issue, and they don't think they can hold on.

The only difference is: how long can it last!
