Under Li Xiu's order, the Kunlun Mountain moved forward several hundred meters.

This is almost the limit!

The battleship's draft is too deep, and there is a danger of running aground if it moves forward.

On top of the Jian Bridge, a row of high-powered telescopes were mounted.

These telescopes are all single-cylinder, and they look a bit like the ones used to see stars in later generations, but they are just a bit thicker than those used in later generations.

With the help of this device, you can watch the Ottoman landing battle immersively within ten kilometers.

The monarchs of this era were very different from those of later generations.

They usually go to the front lines to fight in person, from the War of Three Emperors more than ten years ago to the Battle of Tsaritsyn!

Li Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and Napoleon, the emperor of the French Empire, always insisted on commanding operations on the front line.

Although it is dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away from the front line, the morale boost for ordinary soldiers is very strong when they come.

They will have the illusion that they are fighting alongside the top leaders.

Frederick did not go to the front line because he was old.

In fact, Moltke's command post was sometimes only twenty or thirty kilometers away from the front line.

At this distance, the cavalry reporting the news can quickly transmit the information from the front line to facilitate their command.

Compared with other monarchs, Li Xiao and Napoleon were both people who really liked war.

At their core, they are more like soldiers than politicians.

This is not the first time that I have personally visited the battle line with a telescope.

Li Xiao, Li Xiu, Li Lin, Zhao Liangdong, and Chen Laohu stood in a line on the bridge of the Kunlun Mountain and began to observe the Ottoman landing battle.

The Hebrew fortifications were built very skillfully!

These fortifications are close to the ground and are only about one meter high at most.

As for the bunker's shooting holes, they are almost touching the ground.

And behind the shooting holes, there are some semi-underground fortifications.

These places were used as mortar positions because of the deflection principle of mortars. The attacking Ottoman soldiers could not see these mortar positions at all.

However, this could not be hidden from Li Xiao, who was experienced in the battlefield. He judged the location of the mortar position through the smoke and dust from the mortar muzzle through the telescope.

it is a pity!

Those low-level officers of the Ottoman Empire simply did not have the military qualities they should have.

Machine guns and rifles pinned them to the ground.

The mortars have almost the same roll call, and use shells to kill them one by one.

Almost every explosion was accompanied by the death of one or several Ottoman soldiers.

It seemed that about two companies of Ottoman soldiers should be wiped out within an hour or two.

"This is not okay! They are giving away people's heads!"

Zhao Liangdong was so anxious that he couldn't do anything.

Li Xiao has already said that today they only brought eyes, not ears and mouths.

"Now you know why our grassroots officers in the Ming Dynasty either graduated from military academies or were selected from non-commissioned officers with outstanding military exploits on the front line.

The quality of junior officers determines the casualties of the company he leads."

Li Xiao takes his eyes away from the telescope. This is the only disadvantage of a monocular telescope. If you keep one eye closed for a long time, you will get tired.

"We will send two battalions up in the early stage. If this continues, I think we will be able to hold on until noon."

Li Xiu looked at it for a while and felt a little tired.

After touching his pocket, the adjutant behind him immediately handed over Huazi.

Li Xiu struck a match and lit the cigarette!

Over there, Li Xiao has already smoked a cigar!

"Let the carrier-based aircraft be dispatched. Anyway, they don't have any anti-aircraft guns now." Li Xiu asked while smoking a cigarette.

"Your pilots are eager to meet anti-aircraft guns." Li Xiao smiled.

Anti-aircraft guns are a thorn in the flesh of these pilots. As long as they are discovered by these people, they will definitely be killed.

In fact, the Hebrews don't have any anti-aircraft guns now. Using small-caliber anti-aircraft guns to fly is basically a waste of ammunition.

The 88-gun is quite powerful, but the problem is that its rate of fire is too slow.

Only groups of eight-eight cannons can pose a threat to the fast-flying Stuka.

But if there is such an anti-aircraft gun group, the firepower of the 480mm naval gun will be almost there.

Regardless of whether it is an 88-gun or an 800-gun gun, as long as it is targeted by this thing, it will basically be wiped out.

A 480mm artillery shell will basically kill no one alive within a radius of 100 meters once fired.

What's more, Stukas can also drop high-explosive bombs from the sky.

That charge is more terrifying than a 480mm howitzer.

When one hits, the damage radius will only be larger, not smaller.

"Just looking at the Ottomans being ruined like this? Look, another boat has come aboard. The Ottomans are really desperate."

Li Xiu glanced at the sea. The second batch of landing troops did not wait at all because the previous troops were suppressed.

It seems that Sabulhei is going to fight hard this time.

"Just let your pilots go have some fun. To be honest, without aerial bombing, it's really difficult to kill these bastards."

Li Xiao looked at the gradually dissipating smoke in Sevastopol. Soon those howitzer positions were no longer just decorations.

You know, howitzer firing is based on shooting Zhu Yuan.

Instead of requiring the gunners to aim, their observation posts should have arrived at the front line by this time.

At this time, firing smoke bombs into the city of Sevastopol will no longer stop them from firing cannons.

Just in time, let the naval aviation deal with those artillery groups.

The Ottomans who attacked the beach were blocked, and the Ottomans who attacked the port suffered even more casualties.

While the landing assault boat was still on the sea, it was fired upon by a twenty-five-millimeter cannon.

This kind of artillery, which was originally used for air defense, once used to defend the beachhead, was simply a nightmare for the landing troops.

Several assault boats were smashed into pieces in the sea by this ultra-high-speed anti-aircraft gun.

As a result, the first batch of assault boats to land only reached half of the beach near the port.

The soldiers had just waded ashore in the icy water, and before they could take a breath, they were beaten to pieces by Maxim's dense bullets.

Some of those Maxims are hidden in containers.

Some are hidden in harbor houses, and some are simply disguised as port facilities.

So many Maxims suddenly opened fire, and the bullets hit them more densely than raindrops.

For a time, the Ottoman landing troops were littered with corpses.

On the sea surface, there were broken corpses floating one after another, rising and falling with the waves.

The sea water near the port was dyed red with blood.
