At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the temporary headquarters of the landing force in Hejiawan Village received a report from the reconnaissance personnel that they had discovered that the troops of the Eight-Nation Allied Army from Dagukou, numbering about 800 to 1,000, and that a certain number of cavalry troops and a small amount of artillery were marching toward Hejiawan Village, and it was expected that they would be able to reach Hejiawan Village at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it had long been expected that the enemy troops stationed at Dagukou would come to attack Hejiawan Village, the enemy troops came so quickly, which was still somewhat unexpected by the temporary command, because at this time it was twenty-five or six kilometers away from Dagukou, which was not close in this era, and the Russian army had just been defeated yesterday, so the temporary command believed that the enemy troops at Dagukou would probably arrive at Hejiawan Village tomorrow.

Early in the morning, Qiu Yahui led the company headquarters and platoon commanders to the location suggested by Luo Yue to inspect the position, and everyone had no objection to the location, but there was not much terrain on the position that could be relied on, and it was still necessary to dig trenches and build some artificial fortifications. Although the amount of work is not large, it will certainly not be completed until the expected enemy forces arrive.

So Qiu Yahui immediately convened an extraordinary meeting to discuss countermeasures.

After a short period of deliberation, the headquarters made several resolutions: first, to immediately report to the headquarters so that the headquarters could grasp the enemy's movements in a timely manner; second, to immediately and urgently mobilize the villagers to help the soldiers dig trenches, build fortifications, and speed up the construction progress; third, to dispatch unmanned helicopters to closely monitor the progress of the enemy's movements and find out the number of enemy troops as soon as possible. weapons, and send a small detachment to attack, harass the progress of the coalition forces along the way, delay the progress of the enemy forces, try to buy more time for the troops, and if necessary, can also dispatch the Z-9C to carry out air strikes against the coalition forces.

According to Luo Yue's idea, there are now four combat platoons in the landing force, each platoon has a sniper, and the sniper distance can reach about 800 meters, and there are also three Type 89 heavy machine guns, the firing range can reach more than 1,500 meters, plus there are two warrior vehicles as mobile platforms, and unmanned helicopters are guided in the air to cooperate with the operation.

A warrior car including the driver, can carry eight people, snipers and machine gunners need to be equipped with a deputy, so a warrior car can carry two sniper teams and a machine gun team, but also add a commander, machine gun ammunition can be carried with the car, so that snipers and machine gunners can cooperate with each other, long-distance strikes at the enemy, and can be extremely mobile transfer, although can not completely block the enemy's advance, but to drag the enemy's speed, it is not difficult to arrive.

Everyone also unanimously agreed with Luo Yue's suggestion, and Qiu Yahui decided on the spot that Luo Yue would be responsible for organizing the delay of the enemy's mission. This is because only Luo Yue's platoon has actual combat experience in the current landing force, and they have not only fought with terrorists in the Middle East, but also fought a solid battle with the Russian army yesterday.

The other three combat platoons sent only one sniper team to participate in the battle, and the machine gun platoon also sent two machine gun teams, and on the roof of the warrior car, there was a weapon turntable that could be equipped with a heavy machine and a grenade launcher, and the Type 89 heavy machine gun could be driven to shoot on the roof of the car. And Luo Yue's platoon was not all involved in the battle, in addition to sending the sniper team of the platoon, Luo Yue himself and Liu Tie, the leader of the first squad, served as the commanders of the two squads.

However, now there is only one warrior car in the village, and the other warrior car is carrying out the task of monitoring the movements of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so Luo Yue led a small detachment to set off by car, and at the same time they set off with the WZ5B unmanned reconnaissance helicopter, and at the same time summoned another warrior car back and replaced it with another squad to perform the same task.

It turned out that more than a dozen Russian soldiers who had escaped from Hejiawan Village rushed back to Dagukou at dusk that day, and immediately reported the attack on the captain of the Russian ship Sisoi, Colonel Volkov.

After listening to the report of the Russian soldiers who fled back, Colonel Volkov couldn't help but be very annoyed, and the Russian soldiers who fled back didn't even know who the enemy was, only that the enemy's clothing and weapons didn't seem to look like the army of the Qing Dynasty, and of course they didn't look like the armies of other countries, so that it was not even clear how many people there were, some Russian soldiers said that there were dozens of people, and some Russian soldiers said that there were hundreds, which almost made Volkov vomit blood with anger.

The history of the Tsarist Russian Empire is not long, only more than 600 years before and after, although it has always given people the impression of being unreasonable and expanding, but in the process of expansion, it is not that it has not lost the war, and of course it is not that it cannot accept the defeat, only with the determination of the Slavs to be brave and belligerent, martial and tenacious, it has won the title of "fighting nation", but the defeat has not been so confused, and it is not even clear who the enemy is and how many troops there are.

What annoyed Volkov even more was that the Russian soldiers who fled back either talked nonsense to make excuses for failure, or were so frightened that they were talking nonsense, and there were even Russian soldiers who said that the rifles used by the attacked Russian army could shoot continuously like Makqin machine guns, and the power was very terrifying. But how could a sane soldier like Colonel Volkov believe such a clumsy lie.

Although in this era, the Maxim machine gun has been popularized in the armies of various countries, the weight of the Maxim machine gun is large, the structure is complex, and the large recoil of shooting, which is not comparable to the bolt rifle of this era, and the light machine gun that can really be operated and used by a single person will not be manufactured until ten years later, so the so-called rifle that can shoot continuously like a machine gun can only coax laymen who do not understand military affairs, Colonel Volkov naturally will not believe it, and will only feel that the Russian soldiers will not even find an excuse for failure, which is really useless.

However, annoyance is annoyance, Colonel Volkov is still a qualified soldier after all, and from the words of the Russian army who fled back, he can still deduce some truths. There are probably two possibilities for the real image: one is that there is a Qing army left in the village near Dagukou, and the number is not too small, about four or five hundred, and it is estimated that there are a few Makqin machine guns. This speculation is basically close to the truth, except for the number of people. This is mainly because Colonel Vorkov stubbornly believes that one Russian soldier is equivalent to at least five Qing soldiers, so he can defeat more than eighty Russian soldiers, which should naturally be about four or five hundred.

Another possibility is to encounter a plot by an ally, although this is highly unlikely, it is not impossible. Because although the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have the name of the Allied Forces, they do not have the reality of the Allied Forces, and the countries are intriguing with each other, each with its own evil intentions and guarding against itself, and what is even more strange is that the real commander of the Allied Forces, the German Wadsey, is still on his way to China, in fact, the Allied Forces do not have a unified command, and all actions are carried out by the generals of several major powers through consultation, and in the battles of attacking Tianjin and capturing Beijing, there have been cases of some countries not obeying orders and fighting their own battles. As a result, the upper echelons of the coalition forces have repeatedly consulted and repeatedly emphasized the unity of action of the coalition forces.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Qing government was too corrupt and incompetent, and the Qing army's combat effectiveness was too poor, it would not have been possible for such an army, which had only 30,000 or 40,000 people and had their own agendas, to land at Dagukou and drive all the way into Beijing in less than a month.

Among the coalition forces, the contradiction between Russia and Britain, the United States, and Japan is the greatest, so it is reasonable to say that some people want to stumble and trap Russia in secret.

The current invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition is to be Russia's greatest ambition, and it has always been Russia's constant goal to establish a Yellow Russia in the Far East, which will include Xinyi, Mongolia, and the three eastern provinces in northern China, and eventually incorporate them into Russia.

In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion in China made Russia think that the time had come, so in addition to sending troops to participate in the Eight-Nation Coalition and acting with other powers, Tsar Nicholas II appointed himself commander-in-chief, mobilized troops from 12 military regions in China, gathered nearly 180,000 troops, and invaded Northeast China in six ways, officially implementing the Yellow Russia Plan.

However, Russia's plan for Yellow Russia caused great uneasiness among the other powers, because if the Yellow Russian plan succeeded, it would mean that Russia would annex all of China's northern territories, and Russia's power in China would greatly exceed that of the other powers. Moreover, with the polar bear's usual expansionist ambition and desire for land, after annexing northern China, it will never stop there, but will inevitably expand south again, and then monopolize the whole of China. This will not only harm the interests of Britain and the United States, which currently have great influence in China, but will also make Russia a behemoth spanning two continents and covering an area of more than 30 million square kilometers after annexing China, which is bound to change the pattern of the world.

Although two years ago, the United States defeated the weakened Spaniards, seized the Philippines, and gained a foothold in Asia, its power in Asia is still not strong, and the nation's army is less than 100,000 men, and the Monroe Doctrine and isolationist ideology prevail in the country, so it is impossible for the United States to take the initiative to attack and confront Russia head-on.

Although Britain claims to be the empire on which the sun never sets, and has previously curbed Russia's expansion in Europe and the Middle East many times, at this time, economically, Britain has been surpassed by the United States, and in industry, it has been caught up by Germany, and now it is mired in the quagmire of the second Boer War, and it is difficult to extricate itself.

When the great powers discussed sending troops to China to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, both countries expressed to Japan that they hoped that Japan would send more troops to China to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, which was actually to allow Japan to contain Russia.
