Chapter 2058: Thousands of boats lined up on Chongming Island, the west wind is like wine, and the flames on the beach

At this time, Li Muyuan did not ask the artillery to attack these Jin troops, but asked them to continue to complete the task of destroying ships on the river.

Because at this moment, almost all the ships on the river bank had been stranded on the beach, crowded into a pile of unmovable movements. Now is the best time to eliminate these ships.

As long as they kill all these ships, the Jin army that attacked the island would never go back.

The Jin army didn't know that this Chongming Island, which seemed not difficult to fight, was actually a tiger's den full of sharp thorns!

...

After that, the war on Chongming Island gradually entered a cruel and anxious stage.

The large Jin army began to select their own targets and launched an attack on the buildings on Chongming Island under the instigation of the generals. However, they immediately encountered a strong obstacle in front of each strong support point.

While watching the artillery destroy the ships on the shore, Li Muyuan observed the defense at the courtyard wall below on the roof of the Security Department's building.

Nowadays, shelves have been installed in these courtyard walls, and wooden boards are laid on them to the inner side of the courtyard wall, so that the soldiers of the Huaiyang Army can climb around the above courtyard wall.

As long as they stand on the wooden board, they can expose a head height on the courtyard wall and can raise their guns to shoot out anytime and anywhere.

Li Muyuan looked down and saw a row of soldiers standing on the inside of the courtyard wall, constantly firing outwards.

On the open ground outside the courtyard wall, while the Jin army rushed up were constantly being killed and injured, they were still stubbornly rushing up against casualties.

Until they arrived twenty or thirty meters away from the courtyard wall, hundreds of Jin soldiers rushed up were blown up by a grenade thrown out of the courtyard wall. After they left three or two hundred corpses, they had to disperse back helplessly.

...

Grenades, such cheap and affordable weapons, are really a big show in such defensive battles, and now they are even more important than rifles.

Moreover, for the defenders on Chongming Island, this grenade can almost be used openly. Because the factory that produces this army wooden handle grenade is on Chongming Island, only three or two miles away from them.

Li Muyuan carefully examined the surrounding situation until he determined the important support points on the island, and there was no danger of being broken yet.

After that, he asked the artillery to continue firing, and simply destroyed all the surrounding ships until they were on the beach.

Chongming Island is not very big in total. At the commanding heights between each support point, there are flag soldiers to connect with each other.

Although Li Muyuan, at the westernmost end of the island, could not see the situation on the defensive position of the Lugang Martyrs' Tomb in the east. However, after several transits, the flag slogans on the farthest side of the island could still be transmitted to Li Muyuan.

To be honest, Li Muyuan now feels that the most dangerous part on the island is the tomb of the Lugang Martyrs.

There is no high courtyard wall there, and the floor covers an aggressively wide area, and there are not many buildings around the entire martyrs' tomb.

Fortunately, the Lugang Martyrs Tomb, located at the easternmost end of the island, is a small hill, and its lonely shape is like an extremely large tomb mound. So as long as you defend from a high point on the mountain, you still have some geographical advantages to take advantage of.

Li Muyuan is now in his own position, and he can clearly hear the sound of gunfire and cannons in the tomb of the Lugang Martyrs.

...

Now, at the tomb of the Lugang Martyrs, facing both sides of the long steps facing the east, all neatly arranged tombstones have become bunkers for the Huaiyang Army soldiers.

After the heroic spirits returned to heaven and were buried in peace, their tombstones once again protected their comrades. In this peaceful and peaceful place to pay tribute to heroic spirits, a fierce battle for positions broke out!

The Jin general responsible for capturing Lugang was a powerful general with a big waist and a round waist. He saw that the terrain on the martyrs' tomb was relatively simple, and the number of defenders was not too large. So he simply sent a large number of troops at once, surrounding the small hills, and attacking in several directions at the same time.

However, in the middle of the circular fortifications on Lugang, there were constant guns and shells pouring down towards the attacking troops below!

...

Following the neatly repaired white marble steps, the Jin army rushed upwards and was swept by the rain of rifles and bullets. Every time the artillery fired, it would cause a violent killing like a sea of ​​blood tumbling in the enemy!

Now, the three hundred Huaiyang soldiers who are defending the top of the Lugang Martyrs' Tomb have been determined to sacrifice here. Because this is the place where the heroes of their compatriots sleep, and it is also the destination of every Tongzhou soldier!

In the middle of their circular position is the place where every Tongzhou soldier talks about - the cluster of immortal flames on the hero's altar.

In order to ensure that the flames continue to burn and not be attacked by wind and rain, Shen Mo also specially opened pipelines to the tomb of Lugang martyrs in a military chemical factory on Chongming Island.

The combustible gases separated during oil refining production are always supplied with this torch that burns day and night.

Now in the military circular position, behind the soldiers is the flame that is constantly stirring and burning. This group of fires that are large and small has become the support and belief in the hearts of soldiers in all defensive positions.

So even though they are enemies on all sides, they still shoot and throw bullets mercilessly, killing and injuring the enemies below. The long white stone steps were almost completely dyed red by the enemy's blood!

...

After two or three hours of battle, the Jin army who had been on the island before finally got the location and background of various defense points on Chongming Island.

So they all aimed at the largest courtyard in the middle - Chongming Island United Arms Factory!

These Jin generals also saw that the other buildings on the island were just some annexes. The largest courtyard in the middle was likely to be a "workshop" that produced extremely powerful rifles and bombs.

Some of the officers who had witnessed the "workshop" that produced dragon cannons in the Jin Dynasty, so when they saw the size of the factory, they knew that this time they finally found the ultimate goal of the Eastern Route Army of the Great Jin Dynasty.
