The counterattack of the fortress artillery caused great casualties to the Wehrmacht artillery. Fortunately, the Wehrmacht artillery was scattered and would not be destroyed in large quantities by a few shellings. Seeing that the opponent's fortress artillery had such a long range and great power, the Wehrmacht temporarily stopped
The fortress cannons had no target for a moment. They turned the guns again and bombed the Siamese soldiers who were charging.
Without the artillery fire of the National Wehrmacht, even the Saar soldiers on the city wall had a chance to breathe. They poked their heads out and shot the Siamese soldiers getting closer and closer with the rifles in their hands. The artillery bombardment and dense rain of bullets,
The Siamese soldiers who charged quickly retreated, and they fled back to their starting position at a faster speed than they advanced.
Looking at the Siamese soldiers fleeing back like a flock of sheep, an officer who was observing the battlefield spat: "These Siamese people are really useless. They can't stand such casualties. Fortunately, we just attract firepower.
If they really want to launch an attack, they are only worthy of being a logistics force."
The land attack only attracted firepower. After the Sars turned the artillery to the land, the landing of the Marines continued. In order to attack the Sars fortress, a Chinese-class battleship sailed into the port and was in the port.
He took a risk and concentrated eight 305mm cannons on the side, and launched an attack on the Saar fortress.
It is very dangerous to enter the port to attack. In this narrow area, this battleship of more than 20,000 tons can only stop moving forward completely and just shoot there. The warships stop moving forward and shoot fixed targets, which is more than they usually do when they are moving.
It is much easier to move the target, and artillery soldiers with strong abilities will get the results of their first shooting.
A 305mm shell hit a turret at the highest point. More than 100 kilograms of armor-piercing warhead instantly shot through the wall of the fortress. The explosion of the shell knocked away a 254mm caliber fortress cannon.
, and at the same time, detonated nearby shells.
The entire turret exploded at the top of the fortress, and huge stones rolled down one after another, scaring the Saar soldiers in the fortress to dodge. It was very difficult for the fortress gun to turn, but the loading of the battleships was extremely rapid. Before the fortress gun could turn again
The second wave of attacks arrived again, and several shells hit the fortress one after another.
As a fortress to defend inland, the walls of this fortress are not as thick as the headland and have limited armor-piercing ability. Therefore, when 305 mm shells hit the fortress, they can easily penetrate and explode.
Huge explosions rang out, the entire fortress was blown up from gravel, and a big hole was blown out of the wall facing the sea. The rolling smoke and dust flooded the Sar soldiers together with the collapsed wall. The attack of the naval gun was frightened.
The Sars did not expect that the main guns of the battleships of the Chinese Empire could attack such a farther place, and the situation was even longer than the range of their 356mm fortress cannon.
The Saar soldiers in the fortress were a little confused. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's artillery being fired, the National Defense Force drove the Siamese soldiers to launch another attack. At the same time, the just silent National Defense Force artillery also began to shoot, and the Fortress was in a situation where it was attacked on both sides.
Some of the first landing Marines had moved to the vicinity of the fortress. They used their weapons to shoot and cover themselves to rush towards the gap, but the Sars soldiers in the fortress quickly reacted and sent a large number of soldiers to block the gap.
There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.
Except for those who had already died, all the Saar troops stationed in Tamsui Port had retreated to this fortress. They had no way out. Therefore, these soldiers were very brave and desperately blocking the attack from both directions.
After the Marine Corps approached the fortress, the naval guns stopped firing to avoid accidentally injuring their soldiers. However, the army's artillery was still roaring. Even if the destructive power was not good, the 105 mm shell was not so easy to absorb.
Some shells shot into the fortress walls exploded, causing a lot of losses to the Sars soldiers.
Tamsui Port was isolated and endured a fierce attack on both sides. The Saar army was already desperate. When the Marines unloaded the howitzers from the cargo ship onto the dock, the Saar people finally chose to surrender. Seeing that the other party fired a white flag,
Sun Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was really difficult. First, the dense rainforests in Siam made the army's large-caliber artillery unable to move. Later, because there was no airport to land, the domestic air force could not participate in the war. This time the Chinese Empire was
Fighting against the Sarks with one hand tied up.
Fortunately, Tamsui Port is not a critical task, and most of the defenders are colonial troops with low training levels, which prevents the National Defense Force from causing much loss. But even so, he is busy. First, he must repair the dock facilities to allow the transportation of materials.
The cargo ships unload the cargo here, and in addition, they need to build an airport nearby so that the air force can enter this area to help the navy guard the important Strait of Malacca, and finally the mines outside the port.
The densely packed mines of the Sars were only cleared out of a waterway. It would take a long time to clear them all. Of course, this time, the minesweeper boats can no longer risk their lives to clear mines. Those are measures to quickly clear mines during wartime.
Usually, mine clearance needs to be slowly discovered and detonated. This way, although it is safe, the speed will be greatly reduced.
The mine problem now has become a global problem. Not only Sun Xiaohu, but also on the Western Continent. The Saars breached mines in important waters and some ports, which gave the Yaman Navy a headache. Now Fang Xiaoyu also regrets the beginning.
The mine technology was given to the Saar Empire.
However, Fang Xiaoyu also knew in his heart that the principle of the mine was not difficult. It was easy to imitate it as long as he saw it. Now the Yaman Empire has imitated a lot. Even if he didn't give it to the Saar Empire, he couldn't keep the secret for long.
.Sometimes this is the case. A weapon does not necessarily have to be very high-tech. All researchers lack is a kind of creativity.
After conquering Tamsui Port, the Southern Ocean Fleet rested for a month. In addition to renovating Tamsui Port, they usually sent a few destroyers to wander around nearby to hunt down the Nantes torpedo boats that emerged from Suman Island.
The weapons specifically for torpedo boats were indeed easy to use. The Nantes' torpedo boats were almost powerless to fight back and were beaten to retreat step by step. In the end, they simply hurried in Paleo Port on Suma Island and did not dare to come out.
The Mindaway Islands, very close to Suma Island, Java and Bangga Island are both territory of Siam. After Siam followed the Chinese Empire to declare war on the Allies, these islands became the springboard for attacking Suma Island.
Faced with such a dilemma, Sumen Island, which is stationed at only 13,000 Nantes colonial troops, seems to have very weak troops. Even if the local governor distributes all the spare arms from the arms warehouse to the local Nantes immigrants, he cannot let it go.
They feel safe.
