At this time, Alekseev did not feel any shame, after all, even the German fleet was defeated by this group of overseas Chinese, and it was also defeated very badly, and the defeat of the Russian army was really nothing in comparison! Therefore, Alekseev did not have any scruples and told the commanders of various countries the details of this battle.

And after listening to Alekseev's speech, the commanders of various countries also fell into contemplation, judging from Alekseev's speech just now, at the beginning of the artillery bombardment results of the two sides, in fact, it determined the outcome of this war, the Russian artillery position was knocked out by the other side, it was doomed to the defeat of the Russian army, and the desperate attack behind was simply superfluous, as for the powerful firepower of the crossing army, as well as various automatic weapons, no one paid too much attention, because Alekseev was in command in the back after all, and did not fight in the first line, so he did not have much intuitive understanding of the various automatic weapons that crossed the army, and it cannot be communicated to the commanders of the countries.

However, the arrangement of the artillery formation of the Russian commander Linnevich was not wrong, and the artillery was divided into two positions, which could indeed reduce the risk of artillery, but the Russian artillery position was still knocked out in the early stage of the battle. This shows that this group of overseas Chinese has extremely strong battlefield reconnaissance capabilities and a very accurate artillery fire control system.

Although it is not yet certain how strong the combat effectiveness of the overseas Chinese army is, even if it has mastered these two capabilities, this army will by no means be easy to deal with, because behind these two capabilities, it represents a country's scientific and technological capabilities, which also shows that the scientific and technological level of this group of overseas Chinese is by no means below that of other countries, even if the scientific and technological capabilities of the two sides are at the same level, then this group of overseas Chinese is obviously not an ordinary opponent.

At the end of the discussion, the commanders of various countries returned to the old question: where did this group of overseas Chinese come from?

Almost all of the Eight-Nation Coalition Forces are maritime powers, and even Germany, a typical continental country, is actively developing an ocean-going navy, but no one has ever heard of a country founded by the Chinese on a certain island in the world, but judging from the various events that have occurred after the appearance of this group of overseas Chinese in the past month, there is no doubt that this group of people is indeed Chinese. However, as a country that can develop to such scientific and technological capabilities, the population must be several million, even if it is an island country, the area must be tens of thousands of square kilometers, otherwise it will be difficult to get enough development momentum, and in the process of development, it is impossible not to communicate with the outside world, how can there be no news before this.

Of course, this was destined to be an unanswered topic, so the commanders of the various countries discussed it for a while, but the mystery was not solved by the generals, so they went back to their camps to rest.

At this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army did not dare to despise the overseas Chinese army anymore, not only left enough soldiers for vigil and patrol, but also laid a large number of secret posts on the periphery of Yang Village. More than a dozen electric lamps were also lit on the position, which were generated by a few small generators carried by the army, and although it could not be said that the entire position was illuminated as if it were daylight, it could also illuminate the surrounding distance of nearly 100 meters. In addition, Yangcun itself has built relatively well-established fortifications, so even if the overseas Chinese army launches a night attack, the Eight-Nation Alliance can find it in time and immediately start defense.

After a short time, the whole camp was silent, most of the soldiers entered the dream, and there were bursts of sound in the tents of each battalion, and on the position, under the light of electric lights, the soldiers who kept watch at night walked back and forth, and the soldiers who looked up from the lookout tower looked up at the sky from time to time, counting the stars to pass the boring time.

Today is a night sky, the moon is sparse and cloudy, the sky is full of stars, if it is not for the battle, it is a very beautiful night, the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army are keeping vigil at the same time, while thinking about their relatives in their hometown, many people have been away from home for half a year, in a foreign country, it is late at night, and the thoughts of relatives are also stronger.

I don't know how long it was, but one of the soldiers at the lookout suddenly noticed a star with a long trail in the sky, which passed through the bright night, so he pushed the two napping companions and said, "Tom, Hans, look, there are shooting stars." ”

When the two companions heard this, they also looked up at the sky, and sure enough, they found a meteor, but after a while, the soldier named Tom pointed to the night sky and said, "Jack, Hans, you see, there is also a shooting star...... Ah, there's a shooting star here...... Why are there so many meteors tonight?"

Then Hans said, "Do you think that these meteors are falling in our direction?" ”

Jack listened, and also looked carefully, and sure enough, he found that the meteor seemed to be much bigger than just now, and it was indeed falling in his direction, and said, "Yes, why is the meteor coming towards us...... Yes... Wrong...... It's not a meteor, it's... What is this thing?"

It turned out that these meteors were getting bigger and bigger, and they were becoming more and more obvious, and it was very clear that the meteors were in a long shape, and orange flames were spewing out from their tails.

"Ah...... They've fallen, they have really fallen, run ......."

In the exclamation of these soldiers, these meteors fell into the camp of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Yang Village one after another, only to hear several loud explosions in the camp in a row, and immediately shot out dazzling firelight, of course, it also took the lives of countless soldiers.

Of course, what the soldiers saw just now was not a meteor, but a Haihongqi-16 missile launched from a warship passing through the army.

It turned out that in the afternoon of the same day, the crossing group learned from the telegrams sent by various countries to the consulates in Tianjin that the Eight-Nation Coalition had already learned the news of the defeat of the German fleet, so they also changed their battle plan and wanted to immediately retreat to Beijing to hold on.

The Provisional Military Council immediately convened an emergency meeting, holding that if the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was allowed to return to Beijing, it would be quite unfavorable to the Crossing Group. Although in the daytime battle, the army inflicted heavy losses on the Russian army, but compared with the overall strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the losses are not large, and now the total strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance is still more than 20,000, which is still a big threat to the crossing group.

However, there are still more than 20,000 Eight-Nation Allied Forces in Beijing, and the Crossing Group must keep enough troops in Tianjin to prevent the attack of the Eight-Nation Allied Army, which has caused great difficulties to the Crossing Group, which is already short of troops, so it is best to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Eight-Nation Allied Army, so that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will no longer be able to launch an attack on Tianjin, so that the Crossing Group can enter the Shandong region without any worries. In this way, the Eight-Nation Coalition must not be allowed to flee back to Beijing so safely, and it is necessary to launch an attack on Yangcun at night.

However, Yangcun has very complete fortifications, and the defeat of the Russian army must have alerted the Eight-Nation Alliance, which will inevitably strengthen the defense of Yangcun, even if it is a night battle that the crossing army is best at, it may not be able to win easily, and it is very likely to pay heavy casualties, but the current crossing group cannot afford to be injured.

Therefore, the Provisional Military Committee decided to carry out a coordinated operation by land and sea this time, with the navy's warships firing missiles at Yangcun to disrupt the defensive arrangements of the Eight-Nation Allied Army, and then the army would take the opportunity to launch an attack on Yangcun in an effort to defeat the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in one fell swoop and inflict heavy losses on them, and the time for launching the attack was set at 2 o'clock in the evening. Let the army rest

And this time to strike at the missiles of Yangcun, the Navy proposed to use the Haihongqi-16 anti-aircraft missile. Among the missiles carried by the fleet this time, only the Kunming was equipped with eight East China Sea 10 cruise missiles, which were specially designed for land attacks, and the rest were anti-aircraft missiles or anti-ship missiles.

Of course, whether it is an anti-aircraft missile or an anti-ship missile, it can also be used to hit ground targets, as long as there are clear coordinates, but anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles can only be used to hit fixed targets on the ground, and it is difficult to hit moving targets, but this is enough, and there is no anti-missile technology in this era, and there is no need to worry about being interfered with.

However, it is really a bit wasteful to use other missiles, such as the Haihongqi-9 anti-aircraft missile, the YJ-83 anti-ship missile, the YJ-18 anti-ship missile, and the Donghai 10 cruise missile, to attack Yangcun; after all, the number of these missiles is limited, and they will be used in naval warfare in the future, so the navy believes that it is most appropriate to use the Haihongqi-16 air defense missile.

The Haihongqi-16 anti-aircraft missiles were the most equipped in the crossing fleet, and the Kunming, Yueyang, and Sanya ships each carried 32 of them, for a total of 96 missiles, and a total of 4 were used in the previous battles. However, compared with other air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles, the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile is a medium-range air defense missile, with a warhead of only 65 kilograms and a charge of about 30-40 kg, while the warheads of the Haihongqi 9 air defense missile and the YJ-83 anti-ship missile are all about 200 kg, and the amount of charge is more than 80 kg, not to mention that the warheads of the YJ-18 anti-ship missile and the Donghai 10 cruise missile are more than 400 kg and the amount of charge is more than 200 kg. After all, in the old time and space, the Haihongqi-16 anti-aircraft missile was used in air defense, and there was no need to pursue great destruction.

Because the power of the Haihongqi-16 anti-aircraft missile is really limited, the effect of attacking 10,000-ton battleships and armored cruisers in this era is obviously not as good as that of Haihongqi-9 and YJ-83; according to machine simulation, to sink a 10,000-ton warship, at least 5 or more are needed, while 2-3 are enough to use Haihongqi-9 and YJ-83, and it is best to use them to deal with small and medium-sized ships of less than 5,000 tons. However, at this tonnage, the guns of the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua ships can also deal with them, and the results are not bad, so the Haihongqi-16 air defense missile is quite a bit high and low in the crossing fleet.
