Although he did not deal with the Russians, as the supreme commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance's garrison at Dagukou, Otsu Yuki naturally could not ignore Colonel Volkov's request, after all, on the surface, the unity of the Eight-Nation Coalition still had to be maintained, and Volkov's request was also very reasonable, the Russian army was ambushed, and as a coalition force, it was natural to find this field back.

In addition, Yuki Otsu is also worried that if this Qing army is left unchecked, it develops to the point of organizing a large number of ordinary people, and attacks the Eight-Nation Alliance army at Dagukou, the consequences will also be very serious. After all, there are only 500 Japanese troops stationed at Dagukou, and other countries only anchor warships at Dagukou, and no garrisons are stationed. The Dagu Pass is the retreat of the coalition forces, and the location is naturally very important, and there must be no mistakes.

So Otsu Yuki immediately decided that it was necessary to extinguish this resistance force in time to prevent the expansion of this force, so Otsu Yuto ordered to gather the commanders of the navies of various countries to come to the headquarters for a meeting and discussion.

After a short time, the naval commanders of various countries arrived, and Yuki Otsu first told everyone the news of the ambush of the Russian army, and then announced that he would immediately organize the army and set off early tomorrow morning to crusade against the Qing army.

Although it is indeed a bit hasty to send troops early tomorrow morning, but Otsu Yuki understands the truth of the speed of soldiers, the Qing army has just won the battle today, and it is in the most psychologically relaxed time, so the coalition army should be dispatched immediately, and attack the enemy with lightning speed, and take the enemy by surprise.

Colonel Volkov immediately represented the Russian army and approved of Yuki Otsu's decision. To be honest, Yuki Otsu's decision to send troops tomorrow was really a bit unexpected by Volkov, it seems that the Russian army was ambushed, and it should have nothing to do with the coalition forces. And the coalition forces sent troops to find a place for the Russian army, and the Russian army certainly has no reason to refuse.

Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries have no objection to this, and they are idle anyway, so it is better to take this opportunity to go ashore to carry out activities and activities, so as to pass the boring time. And Italy and Austria are originally playing the role of soy sauce, so naturally they have no opinions. However, at present, all countries can only dispatch soldiers on warships, but they still need to keep enough personnel on warships, so the commanders of each country cannot decide on the number of troops that can be dispatched on the spot, and can only go back and adjust the selection to determine how many people they can send to the war.

Naturally, Yuki Otsu was able to understand this, so he agreed with the commanders of each country that the troops sent by each country would assemble ashore at five o'clock tomorrow morning and set off on time at six o'clock.

Now the Japanese fleet has gone out to sea for cruise, and has not yet returned, and only moored in the town at the mouth of Dagu. Two small ships with a displacement of 400 tons on the edge of the town, the time of the fleet to go to sea for a cruise is uncertain, a day or a few days are possible, after all, the weather on the sea is changeable, Otsu Yuto did not worry about the navy, and the Japanese troops dispatched are selected in the army, Otsu Yuto decided to dispatch 420 people, including two 87 mm caliber Knoob guns and three 70 mm caliber Knoob guns, as well as five 47 mm caliber Haqikis machine guns, three Maxim machine guns, as well as 80 military horses, and 50 transport vehicles.

Because Japan's industrial base was still very weak at this time, in addition to the rifle used by the Japanese army was the domestically produced 30-type Murata rifle, the artillery also needed to be purchased from abroad, and in another time and space, the main artillery of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War was the 30-type 75 mm mountain gun, which was still under development at this time, and the artillery used in the Japanese army now was mainly the German Knoob artillery.

Early the next morning, the armies of all countries were assembled at the entrance of the headquarters.

After the Japanese fleet went on patrol, the warships of various countries anchored at the mouth of Dagu were counted as the largest number of Russian ships, and there were two large warships of more than 10,000 tons, and the Russian army was trying to find the field, so the number of soldiers dispatched was also the largest, a total of 325 people, commanded by the second lieutenant commander Mozgov on the Sisoy, and also included four 47 mm caliber Haqikes machine guns and three Maxim machine guns, all of which were dismantled from the warships. Originally, the Russian army also planned to dismantle a few medium-caliber guns, but first, the time was too tight, and second, the guns could be removed, but there was no matching artillery carriage, which was still useless, so it had to be abandoned.

Among the other countries, Britain dispatched 145 men, including a Maxim machine gun commanded by Lieutenant Commander Gunnersen; Germany dispatched 107 men under the command of Lieutenant Commander Campbell; the United States dispatched 98 men and a Maxim machine gun under the command of Lieutenant Commander Fletcher; France dispatched 55 men under the command of Lieutenant Commander Ghazi; Italy and Austria-Hungary originally played the role of soy sauce and sent the least number of troops, and the warships sent were all gunboats, so only 15 and 12 men were sent in this dispatch, and the commanders were all lieutenants。

However, the total strength of all of them is 1177 people, including five medium-caliber artillery, nine small-caliber rapid-fire artillery, and eight Makqin machine guns.

Such a configuration of troops and firepower made Yuki Otsu very satisfied, and to deal with the crowd tactics of the Chinese people, small-caliber rapid-fire artillery and Maxim machine guns were undoubtedly the best choice. As for the Qing army, Yuki Otsu basically ignored it, because according to the experience of fighting in China this time, even if he encountered 10,000 Qing troops, he could win the battle.

First of all, Otsu Yuki recruited the commander of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army and explained his tactical plan, because the battle of ambushing the Russian army took place around noon yesterday, and he would never have thought that the coalition army would come back a day later, Otsu Yuki planned to use a half-day rapid march to rush to Hejiawan Village at about 12 o'clock at noon, at this time it was generally lunch time, if the enemy army ambushing the Russian army had not left, it must be having dinner, and the vigilance would never be high, and the coalition army could take the opportunity to launch an attack and catch the enemy by surprise.

The commanders of various countries are all navies, and they are not familiar with land warfare, and they look down on the Qing army in their bones, and they don't pay attention to tactics or anything, so they have no objection to Yuki Otsu's tactical plan.

So Otsu Yuki ordered the whole army to open up immediately, and the armies of the eight countries were organized into eight teams according to each country, headed by the Japanese and American armies, and behind the Russian army, the British and French armies were the left flanks, and the German and Austrian armies were the right flanks, and marched towards Hejiawanshu. At the same time, Yuki Otsu also instructed the commanders of various countries to be vigilant along the way to prevent attacks by the Chinese army and the Chinese people.

The coalition marched all the way, and at about half past nine, they reached the town of Komagawa. By this time, the coalition forces had been walking for three and a half hours, and they were all a little tired. Otsu Yuki asked the Russian soldiers who had fled back, knowing that it was only 123 kilometers away from Hejiawan Village, and according to the speed of the coalition army, it would take two hours to reach Hejiawan Village, so Otsu Yuki ordered the coalition troops to rest in Komagawa Town for half an hour, eat a little dry food, and when they arrived at Hejiawan Village, they would directly attack the enemy army without lunch.

At the time of the break, the coalition forces were still divided by country, with each area in the town of Komagawa, which was clearly divided, but each country had placed soldiers on patrol and guard, not only to defend against enemy forces, but also to guard against friendly forces. And after resting for half an hour, the soldiers all ate a little dry food, and Yuki Otsu felt that it was almost enough, and was about to order the coalition forces to continue to set off.

But at this moment, I only heard a burst of gunfire in front of me, and Yuki Otsu couldn't help but be taken aback, the gunshots came from the left, which was the direction in which the British and French troops were stationed, and it was difficult to be attacked by the Qing army and the people?

Yuki Otsu did not dare to slack off, and while ordering the armies of various countries to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for battle, he took a squad and rushed to the garrison of the British and French armies.

Britain and France were originally feuding and could have been against the Hundred Years' War in the 14th and 15th centuries, but in recent years, due to the rise of Germany and the aggressive momentum on both sides of the continent and sea, Britain and France have felt great pressure, so they put aside their hatred of each other and began to work together to fight against the rise of Germany. Thus, over the past few years, Britain and France have gradually come closer to each other, and although they have not yet reached the level of alliance, they have become very close. Although the two armies were stationed separately, they were very close to each other, so that they were somewhat friendly.

Rushed to the garrison of the British and French armies, only to see that the soldiers of the two armies were hiding behind the shelters of houses, trees, stones, vehicles, etc., and raised their guns one by one to guard as if they were facing a great enemy. However, there was no enemy attack in the four directions, but there were two or three human bodies lying in the open space, which seemed to be dead.

Although he didn't know what was happening, seeing this scene, Yuki Otsu couldn't help but be careful, and ordered the Japanese soldiers to find cover to hide, and ordered to find the commanders of the British and French armies.

After a while, the British commander, Lieutenant Colonel Gunelson, and the French commander, Major Gazzi, rushed to Otsu's side and told Otsu Yuki what had just happened.

It turned out that the British and French troops were stationed in the southeast of the town of Juhe to rest, and also arranged sentries and patrols, the soldiers ate and drank, very relaxed, and the surroundings were peaceful, but suddenly two British soldiers with guns and sentry fell to the ground, and someone rushed over to take a look, only to find that both of them had been killed by headshots.

The rest of the British soldiers were naturally frightened, and hurriedly stopped eating, raised their guns and looked around, looking for the enemy, and even alarmed the French troops on one side. But there was no sign of anyone in the wilderness, and no gunfire had been heard just now, so he did not know where the enemy was.

And when the soldiers of the British and French armies were at a loss, the blows came one after another, and then several British and French soldiers were shot and killed, or wounded, but at this time the British and French soldiers were alert, so this time many people heard a very slight gunshot, and the enemy was obviously shooting from a long distance.

But it also makes it clear which direction the gunshots are in. So the soldiers of the British and French armies raised their guns one after another and fired indiscriminately in the direction where the gunshots came from, which was the gunfire that Yuki Otsu heard just now.

However, after firing indiscriminately for a while, no reaction was heard, so the commanders of the two armies ordered the shooting to stop, and after a brief discussion, it was decided to send ten soldiers to reconnoiter in the direction from which the gunfire came. As soon as the soldiers sent left, Yuki Otsu rushed to the garrison of the British and French armies.
