Chapter 145: The World of Blood and Fire (2)

87_87379 The officialdom battle does not see the smoke of gunpowder, but it is more cruel and bloody than the real battlefield, the three armies on the front line, the national fortune of a country, and the people of the world can all be victims of officialdom, but interests are not, and the officialdom struggle is nothing more than the word interests, and there is naturally a compromise with interests.

Li Hongzhang played a big game in Liangguang, just for the Qing Dynasty? No! Li Dacheng of Jinmen can safeguard his interests, so he has his generosity, which is only relative, if he is really generous, the rebuilt Nanyang Sailor should also be sent to Dagukou.

30,000 guns and 50 artillery pieces, for Li Hongzhang, it is almost the same, as long as he wants it, this little thing is still easy, but it is only two or three million silver, and Liangguang can afford it.

With Li Hongzhang's movements, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Yunnan and Guizhou have also moved, and a total of 150,000 firearms and 180 rear-loading artillery pieces have already been shipped sooner or later.

With Li Hongzhang's coordination, Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong naturally spoke with him, and with the guidance of Li Zhang and Liu, the world's governors must follow the tide, after all, Gui Shun's pole in the capital is not a joke, if you don't contribute at this time, you won't have a chance to contribute in the future.

met expectations, Gui Shun will not stay in the capital for long, and after showing his loyalty to the old ladies, he will still be in Jinmen.

"Lao Li is Lao Li, the person who understands the Qing Dynasty!"

In the garden of the official office, Li Dacheng put down the teacup and sighed to Gui Shun and Gu Qixing, if it were not for Li Hongzhang's support this time, 150,000 guns would be a dream. With Li Hongzhang's righteousness this time, the country will have a reference in the future, and the whole country must work together.

This time, in addition to Li Hongzhang's support, the British also did a lot of things behind the scenes. The ordnance of Liangguang, Liangjiang, Huguang, Yunnan-Guizhou, and Sichuan was able to enter the canal from the mouth of the Yangtze River along the way, and in addition to the British steamers, their maintenance was also indispensable.

In the international political arena, there are few fools, and the movements of Tsarist Russia are of the greatest concern to the British. Little Japan was not in their eyes, but every move of Tsarist Russia could not escape the eyes of the British.

For the Qing Dynasty, the British should fight or fight, and they should support or support. This is not contradictory, this is in line with their interests in China, and this is international relations.

"If you want me to say that our Second Master Li is very capable, Mr. Li Second is a little too angry......"

While talking, he puffed up a pleasant smoke, and this time Gui Shun entered Beijing much bigger than the last time, and it can be regarded as touching the edge of officialdom.

The admiration for Li Dacheng is deep-rooted on Guishun's side. When he came back, the old lady said something to him, this time Daqing can be in one breath. relied on him Gui Beiler, but where did Gui Beile come from without Second Master Li?

"You can't say that! Li Hongzhang really understands that if it weren't for Li Hongzhang's support, the second and third divisions of Little Japan would come, and the Zhenwei Army would not support it for half a month, and perhaps half a month would also be a luxury. In four or five days, we will have to retreat from Jinmen.

Now the guns have arrived in Jiangsu, and they will reach Jinmen in five days. Little Japan can't catch up, with these 150,000 guns. One hundred and eighty artillery pieces, I dare not say more, blocking 100,000 people for a month, I can still pack a ticket here!

Lao Gu, what do you say? ”

Although there are sufficient guns, Li Dacheng's heart is still unstable, the second and third divisions of the little devil are probably the elite of the elite, the elite of the training is not terrible, the terrible thing is the elite who have survived the battlefield, the First Sino-Japanese War can not be counted, but the little Japan has really fought with the Black Flag Army on Taiwan Island, and the veterans who have experienced the war are the courage of the first army, and no one can help but be in awe.

Little Japan is slow to move, Li Dacheng also knows what they are thinking, it is nothing more than waiting for Lao Maozi to send troops first, they want to play a hand of yellow sparrows behind, eight countries, nine countries and eleven countries, want to hate the same enemy, how can it be so easy, the opponent is so delayed, there is time for military training, there is time for autumn harvest, 250,000 guns in hand, 300 artillery pieces in hand, play a big drama of blood and fire hell, enough!

At this time, it is very important for Jinmen to be united, even if you can't be unanimous, you can't be passive and slack, and you can't infect Gui Shun and Gu Qixing with your own ease, although this method is a bit tricky, but it is also helpless!

"On this side, it is all up to the second master's orders."

"You masters are slippery heads.

Lao Gu, during this time, the salt and grain were put a little, so that the people who stayed in Jinmen were also relaxed, one loosened and one tight, it was easier to win people's hearts.

The grain in the south and north warehouses must be stepped up to transport the Beijing Division, and at the same time inform the Beijing Division to consolidate the defense of the official warehouses in various places.

That's all, the front line of Dagukou still has to be inspected, let's work together! ”

There are some things that Li Dacheng will not hide from Gu Qixing, and he can't hide it, no matter how many guns and can't get rid of the defeat, the stamina of the Zhenwei army is insufficient, and now it is the biggest shortcoming of Dagukou.

After drinking the tea, after speaking, Li Dacheng did not hesitate, and took his own guard ghost head knife out of Jinmen and got on the special train......

Before the war, Li Dacheng reluctantly arranged all his strategies.

The next war at Dagukou is said to be a positional war, it is better to say that it is a Jedi war, Li Dacheng made the back of the Zhenwei army, into a Jedi with only one passage left, except for the official road from Dagu to Jinmen, the railway, and the waterway, other places except the green gauze tent is an ocean, and then it is the green gauze tent submerged in the water.

Once the back road is cut off, Dagukou is a Jedi of 150,000 Zhenwei troops and 80,000 newly recruited strong men, as long as the Japanese and Russian troops hold the railway and official roads, they can slaughter the Zhenwei soldiers in the mud at will.

The man-made flood also forced away the vast majority of the people in the Jingu area, and the rest also served in the Zhenwei army, Li Dacheng and the Zhenwei army who were stationed in the Dagu dock, now have no worries except for their own lives, as long as the Japanese and Russian troops or the army of foreign devils. Dare to beat the long snake formation he laid from beginning to end, Li Dacheng can teach them how to write the word blood.

War is a two-way street, and intelligence is the key, but how much intelligence does Li Dacheng have in his hands? Know the German Expeditionary Force, know the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of Little Japan. I know that there are more warships outside Haikou, and I don't know who the others are in command, what kind of equipment, what the number is, when and where to start the war.

The information of the Zhenwei Army, I am afraid that the foreign devils are already very clear, including the 150,000 guns and 180 artillery pieces that are about to be shipped, and many things can be bought with money in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Dacheng does not need to confirm these things. I also know that the intelligence of the Zhenwei Army is now being sent to the hands of Little Japan in a steady stream, and how much detail has been planted by Little Japan in the Qing Dynasty is not clear, and the intelligence is not equal. Let the future war be full of gambling.

War has never been a rational thing, if there is rationality, there will be no war, what should both Chinese and foreign sides bet on in this war? The foreign devils want to bet that they can easily defeat the Zhenwei army, and Li Dacheng wants to bet that the foreign devils will definitely land at Dagukou.

The arrival of the 17th train of munitions made Li Dacheng's rear hands basically exhausted, standing on the Weizi fort, looking at more and more enemy ships on the sea. Li Dacheng's face was not very good.

Lao Maozi, Little Japan, the British, and the French have recently transferred a lot of shallow-water ships to the Dagu Sea, and looking at the various flags on the sea, Li Dacheng knows that he is a little worse. I'm afraid that it is not the Japanese-Russian coalition that is about to land, but the coalition army of the * country, even if there is an internal conflict, but for the foreign devils, it is also necessary to punish the Qing Dynasty with war.

The Zhenwei Army bore the brunt. The reason is simple, the Zhenwei Army was formed by the Boxers. I'm afraid that the devils of the seas are already very clear about this, and they started a war in the name of fighting the Boxers. The Zhenwei army could not cross this hurdle, and they gathered shallow water ships not for landing, but as temporary water batteries.

The bet was won, but Li Dacheng's heart was not easy, the next beach-grabbing landing, but not the time when the German devils could let them assemble on the beachhead, this time the beachhead must be held without giving an inch of land, and the coalition army of foreign devils must not be allowed to have a stable beachhead, otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with the foreign devils with a place to settle, and the Zhenwei army is not an opponent at all.

Once it is difficult for foreign devils to seize the beachhead, it is inevitable to find other breakthroughs, Beitang and Duliu can be used as breakthroughs, and if they seize these two places, foreign devils will be able to outflank the Zhenwei army.

Let the foreign devils go ashore at Dagukou, and you have to not let them gain a firm foothold, this matter is also a dilemma!

The support for the Zhenwei army in the south undoubtedly quickened the pace of the war at a certain distance, and looking at the ships that were constantly assembling on the water, Li Dacheng could already smell the urgency of the war.

It is impossible for troop carriers to dock on the water for a long time, the war is just a few days away, and the scale of the initial landing also determines the direction of the war.

Looking at the bullet-riddled Weizihao Fort, Li Dacheng's heart was also up and down, there were too many uncertainties in the war, and it was too difficult to command a war like an arm.

"Second master, look at the number of ships of the foreign devils, in the next battle, the five major forts have a lot to do!"

The upcoming war did not put much pressure on Luo Rongguang, who was anxious to be ashamed, all he saw was the record of the fort, and what he wanted to get was only the record of the fort, as long as he could destroy a few enemy ships, it would be enough for him, looking at Luo Rongguang, who was dancing with his eyebrows, Li Dacheng sighed.

"Alas...... In this battle, the battery still can't be used! Continue to strengthen the fortifications of the casemate! ”

How powerful is a flowering shell fired by a 200-mm coastal defense gun? The fragments of the shells can cover a range of at least 100 meters, and the flowering shells of the 300-mm cannon on the battleship are even more powerful!

This is just a cannonball filled with black medicine and cotton medicine, if it is filled with picric acid, the power will be increased by at least three or five times, which is unfortunate! Nowadays, the Dagu Fort and the Zhenwei military are shells filled with black medicine and cotton medicine, while the warships of Britain, France, Germany and Japan are all shells filled with picric acid.

But Li Dacheng can't say this, he said that it has no other effect except to damage the morale of the army, and the high level of the Megatron Sea Gate is a trap for the five traps, and it is for the army of foreign devils, and it is also for the navy of foreign devils.

Small-caliber artillery, the damage to the shore fortifications is not large, the terrible is the ship-borne artillery, the landing battle is not smooth, the foreign devils will inevitably let the battleship enter the shallow sea, the battleship opens fire in the shallow sea, it is easy to run aground, once there is a certain number of battleships sitting on the beach in front of the five major batteries, as long as there are still 20 huge guns available in the five major batteries, they can make a big difference, the shallow sea area is blocked by the battleships sitting on the beach, even if there are many foreign devils' warships, it is in vain if they can't be relied on.

But you can't say it to Luo Rongguang, one is to guard against the court, the other is to guard against meticulous work, the fort has protective fortifications, even if this matter is spread out, it doesn't hurt, can it be passed out or two, I'm afraid of people's mouths, some words are useless once they are said! If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if he is not secret, he will be lost. If the body and the machine are not secret, it will be harmed!

"I don't understand!"

"If you don't understand, hold back!

Lao Tzu's people are in Dagu, can they still run? Death everyone!

Don't ask too much about some things! ”

A loud shout stopped Luo Rongguang's question, this is the biggest secret in Li Dacheng's heart, the secret that determines the direction of the war, no one can say anything about this!

"Mark and command!"

hatefully accepted the military order, Luo Rongguang didn't ask any more, for fear that Luo Rongguang would do something he shouldn't do in private, Li Dacheng kept him by his side, and the matter must not be bad in the last trembling.

The negligence of the Qing Dynasty in intelligence was soon confirmed by the war, and the bombardment of the five major forts at Dagukou by foreign devil warships for a day and night proved that there was a detailed work on the side of the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, and the foreign devils were aware of the trap laid by Li Dacheng.

Li Dacheng is both helpless and fortunate in this regard, after a day and a night of shelling, as long as the five forts at Dagukou can be held back, the foreign devils will not care, there are no twenty, even ten are fine! Compared with the warships of foreign devils, the accuracy of the Dagukou Fort is higher.

"Second master, why don't you let the battery fire? In one day and one night, we lost another fifteen artillery pieces, and there were only twenty-one heavy artillery pieces left in Dagu. ”

Looking at the battle report, Luo Rongguang's heart was dripping blood, fifteen good artillery pieces were gone, don't fight! Don't fight! There are only three main guns left, and only eighteen secondary guns left, quietly losing more than half!

"This is a good thing, after this shelling, the main and auxiliary guns on the foreign devil battleship are almost to the limit, can such shelling continue once or twice?

If we don't move, they have to move, as far as the Zhenwei army is concerned, the fewer naval guns on the sea, the better, the foreign devils are about to land, prepare the artillery array on the beachhead!

None of the artillery pieces with more than seven or five guns are allowed to be pulled to the beachhead, and the seven cannons and the three cannons are the mainstay! ”

The life of the ship's giant cannon is extremely low, the larger the caliber, the less the number of shots, the main gun is 3500 rounds, and the secondary gun is 1 or 2,000 rounds.

The beachhead artillery battle is still a trap, and after a day and a night of artillery battle, presumably an artillery battle on the beachhead, the Zhenwei army has to pay a lot.

"Undermarked...... Mark the command. (To be continued).
