Chapter 2773 Base Construction
【The first update today!】
On Chongming Island, more than 200 Qing soldiers were boarding the ship in ecstasy.
Last night, they were suddenly caught in the barracks by hundreds of people wearing Qing soldiers wearing flintlock rifles. Unexpectedly, these people were not Qing soldiers. After a chaotic battle, there seemed to be no casualties on the other side. They lost more than 100 people, and the remaining more than 200 people fled in panic while the night was in a panic.
However, they were very grateful that the more than 200 Qing soldiers didn't know that the other party deliberately let them go.
However, for a whole night, they ran around until early morning, and finally found a small boat. Then a few Qing soldiers took a small boat to the Yangtze River to rob a large boat, and the remaining 200 people rolled and climbed onto the large boat.
However, shortly after the ship was sailing out, they saw a monster of steel rumble in the water.
"What is this thing? It seems to be an iron thing? But how could an iron thing float on the water? And it's so fast?" All the Qing soldiers were a little confused when they looked at this thing.
At this moment, the metal monster that was approaching quickly spit out the flame tongue?
"Bang bang bang... rumbling..."
With a series of loud noises, the ships on which more than 200 Qing soldiers suddenly became divided! More than 200 Qing soldiers were killed by these more than 100 machine gun shells on the spot, and the remaining Qing soldiers also screamed and fell into the river and buried in the belly of fish.
What is this steel monster? Of course it is an armored personnel carrier driven by Liu Yihua!
In the armored personnel carrier, Zhou Xiuyun, who was with Liu Yihua, said excitedly: "Ah, Brother Yihua, it's so satisfying! But it would be even better if the big iron ship behind us came to knock these Qing soldiers away!"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Haha, we are the forwards, so we naturally have to wipe out everything! The amphibious landing ship behind is going to hit such a small wooden boat, which is really a killer!"
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he drove an armored personnel carrier to Chongming Island.
The members of the musket team on Chongming Island had long seen this armored personnel carrier, so they immediately ran over and saw Liu Yihua. The members of the musket team greeted Liu Yihua one after another.
"Ah, captain, that... is that huge creature on the Yangtze River a big ship? Is it also our big ship?" At this time, a team member saw an amphibious landing craft moving towards the distance.
Of course, this amphibious landing craft is autonomously driven by the Yanhua system. Otherwise, in this era, only Liu Yihua could drive such a ship. But how many people could Liu Yihua be divided into? So, at a critical moment, Xueer can help Liu Yihua. Of course, this kind of help is limited. Otherwise, it would be enough to let the Yanhua system operate all advanced weapons? There is no need for personnel to go to war.
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Haha. Of course it is our ship, there are a lot of people and supplies on the ship. Okay, don't stand there. Hurry up and pick up our big ship."
"Wow, we actually have such a big ship? Brothers, come and pick it up!" The members of the Musket Team are now very excited. You should know that people of this era have not seen many huge wooden ships, let alone this huge steel warship.
But it wouldn't be strange if anyone from any magical base appears now, because their General Zhou Xiuying is a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to earth! General Liu Yihua is also a general in the sky! With such a god, there will naturally be magical things that fall from the sky, right?
Next, the amphibious landing craft landed on the dock.
After a period of busyness, more than 3,000 people, hundreds of war horses and a large number of supplies arrived at Chongming Island.
The mobility of these hundreds of war horses has been greatly enhanced by the team defending Chongming Island. You must know that people in this era cannot learn how to drive cars quickly. Even if Liu Yihua has old cars, he cannot use them unless Liu Yihua drives these cars himself.
As soon as Liu Yihua entered Chongming Island, he considered building a powerful military base. You should know that Chongming Island is only 20 kilometers away from land, and there is no problem now, but in the future, cannons can be directly attacked here.
So Liu Yihua prepared for the future and wanted to build a powerful military base here. The basement of this military base is necessary. Even the building above Liu Yihua also follows high-standard defense requirements and can at least withstand the bombing of future aircraft. In short, Liu Yihua was built according to a century-old project.
To build this military base, the best place is the highest hill on Chongming Island. Occupying the high ground and shooting from a high place is the most basic, and the commanders of every team understand this.
However, Chongming Island is made up of mud and sand, and it is impossible to have high hillsides. Therefore, the commanding heights are actually not very different from peaceful areas.
The Qing soldiers used to know that it was a strategic location, so they also set up a barracks on the small slope, but of course that barracks did not meet Liu Yihua's requirements.
Liu Yihua heard that Liu Wu had come to this barracks with him and was familiar with this place, so Liu Yihua asked him to lead the way to take a look.
When Liu Wutong knew that Liu Yihua was going to the barracks, he said, "General Liu, the Qing soldiers in the barracks are useless. They all like to go to flat grounds, so there is no construction there at all."
Liu Yihua nodded and said, "It doesn't matter whether there is construction or not, we have to demolish and rebuild it anyway."
Next, under the leadership of Liu Wutong, Liu Yihua came to the barracks.
After arriving at the barracks, Liu Yihua looked around the barracks carefully, then nodded and said, "This location is really good. This small river should have been dug by hand, right? With this small river, there is no problem with drinking water in this military base. As for food, it is easy to deal with, just build more granaries. As long as the food and water are solved, nothing else is a problem."
Liu Wufeng looked at the terrain and said to Liu Yihua: "Yihua, this place is really good. This is the highest commanding height on the entire Chongming Island. Although it is not very high, if we shoot in the military fortress from a high place, no matter how many enemies there are, we cannot hit it. But now we need weapons. With our rapid development now, our army will soon reach thousands of people. Where do we have so many guns now? Those German devils are really unreliable, otherwise I will go into the city to find the German devil?"
Liu Yihua shook his head and said, "No need to go. Yesterday we killed about 3,000 Qing soldiers on a cliff under the control of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In this case, the city must have a tight defense, so there is no need to take this risk.
Besides, I have already negotiated with the German devils. I guess a large number of weapons will be transported over in a few days. At that time, we can organize tens of thousands of people to arm the army."
Liu Wufeng said in a daze: "Ah, Yihua, you... you actually went to the city to talk to the German devils? That's so dangerous! Didn't you say you couldn't go?"
Liu Yihua laughed and said, "Well, I don't want you to worry, so I went there alone. Then I met Susan and General Hong Xuanjiao of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fought a war together!"
Liu Wufeng said: "So this is what it looks like? Yihua, you are really amazing!"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Some things require adventure. How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? Well, let's first study how to build this military base."
Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "We are going to build a solid fortress, so it will be foolproof. If the enemy wants to attack our barracks, unless they have powerful artillery, the enemy will not be able to attack us by relying on human power."
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "We also have cannons. How can we give the enemy the opportunity to use cannons in front of us?"
Liu Wufeng smiled and said, "I knew you were so powerful, we would definitely have cannons!"
