87_87379When everyone left the official office, the sky was already a little dark, and the firelight on the battlefield could be clearly seen in the city, and the distance between the concession area and the Jinmen city was only four or five miles, and the head of the Jinmen city was the best place to watch the battle.

Walking up to the southeast corner of the city wall with a group of trembling officials, after a few glances at the battlefield, Li Dacheng's face was not very good, and in the faint firelight, Qi Shiduo's Zhenwei right army had become a big funnel, if it weren't for the pressure of the supervising team behind, the team of more than 70,000 people would have collapsed long ago.

Unlike the chaos of the Zhenwei army, the concession area is fighting very rhythmically, which is not a good thing, and if the fight continues at this pace, Qi Shiduo's men and horses can only collapse in the end.

"Herald!

Zhenwei's right army attacked the concession area on five roads, and after entering, hit the back of the foreign devil first!

Sue Luo Rongguang, line up the artillery battalions along the front line, only hit the front line of foreign devils, and don't waste shells in the concession area!

Sue him, when the concession area is in chaos, gather all the artillery, and directly tear a hole in the middle of Zhenwei's right army. ”

After looking at the fires everywhere, Li Dacheng knew that the idea of raiding the foreign devil's artillery array in the concession area was shattered, and the foreign devil was not stupid, and placed more than 30 artillery pieces on the defense line in various places, so that he could kill and injure the soldiers of the Zhenwei Army to the greatest extent.

The power of the flowering bomb is not small, a cannon is a dozen, dozens of lives, the foreign devil has the support of artillery fire, Qi Shiduo's progress in the direction of the main attack is a little unsightly, more than an hour of fighting, his men and horses are still wandering around the original www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, but the area is much larger.

And the Luo Rongguang artillery battalion that was gathered together, with 100 guns, only 50 or 60 could hit the concession area, and the strength of the damage was good, but Luo Rongguang chose the wrong target, at this time it should be the defense line of foreign devils, and those small-caliber artillery with insufficient range should also be directly pushed up.

The roar of guns and cannons, the sound of killing shook the sky, that is the joke, really watching the battlefield from a distance, it is similar to the fireworks show, there is no flash of the big scene, there is still a flash, but now the Zhenwei army that goes up is some of them with cold weapons in their hands, this flash and shining, taking away one life after another.

With the increase in casualties, a small part of Qi Shiduo's side of the supervision team was also pushed to the front line, the sky was not very dark, and the trajectory was not very clear, but some could be seen faintly, compared with the relatively dense fire line of foreign devils, the scattered fire line of the Zhenwei military supervision team was too much worse, and the gap in training was not recognized.

"Second brother, it's quite lively down there!"

Gui Shun and many officials from the Zhili Government Office watched the battle for the first time, and it was lively, which was their evaluation of the battlefield.

"Lively? According to the casualties just now, the current Zhenwei army is only afraid of more than 10,000 casualties!

After more than half of the casualties, the Zhenwei army will be dispersed, more than 10,000 casualties in less than an hour, and more than half of the casualties will be in the middle of the night. ”

With the help of artillery fire and the monocular in his hand, Li Dacheng took a look at the battle situation, although he explained to Qi Shiduo that he wanted to disperse the men and horses, but the queue of the Zhenwei army was still a little dense, but fortunately, after being pressured by the concession area, the Zhenwei army instinctively began to dodge, and such scattering could also reduce casualties in a certain way.

This is not a war, in fact, it is to push tens of thousands of people up to die, consume the ammunition of foreign devils, and attract the attention of foreign devils.

If there are thousands of armed guards to help contain it, maybe they will soon be able to break through the defense line of the concession area, but after the breakthrough, it will be a street battle, the street battle is not easy to fight, and it is the most time-consuming, leaving a few thousand armed guards will weaken the attack strength of the main battlefield, and the more than 10,000 foreign devils on the main battlefield are the main dishes of tonight and tomorrow, and after tonight, the concession area should have a long street battle.

"Second brother, can such a death be done?"

Listening to Li Dacheng's statement, Gui Shun was also a little anxious, less than 10,000 dead and wounded in an hour, 300,000 people could not fight for two days, although this account is not very scientific, but it pointed out the weakness of the Zhenwei army, and many people are afraid of death!

"After the five-way attack is broken later, the battle situation may be better, and then the foreign devils in the concession area will not be able to form an effective defense line, and our opportunity will come.

Let Lao Gu give the order! Greet the people who have not left Jinmen to move things in the concession area tomorrow, and tell Lao Gu that the equipment in the factory should be watched by the people of the machine and the bureau, and the records are made and packed on the spot. ”

Standing at the head of the city and looking at the battlefield with scattered artillery fire, Li Dacheng can understand the sorrow of Li Hongzhang, the founder of Beiyang, who has been doing foreign affairs for more than 30 years, the Beiyang Fleet in the First Sino-Japanese War was almost wiped out, and the elite of the Huai Army in the First World War of Korea lost their armor and unloaded their armor, so that Little Japan fought all the way to Shanhaiguan, and the thirty years of hard work were all in vain.

Li Dacheng thinks that his current feeling is similar to that of Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang a few years ago, holding 100,000 guns of all kinds and hundreds of artillery pieces of all kinds, in order to fight 15,000 foreign devils, he can only send ordinary people with swords to be slaughtered and consumed. Is it more expensive than human life?

Such a price is determined by time and political conditions, such a war in Jinmen is destined to be fought only once in recent years, and now it is just an appetizer, and it will be a real war in a month or two, and it is necessary to send people to experience the war if you want to have a group of suitable soldiers, otherwise in the next war, more people will die.

If you want to cultivate a useful army in just one or two months, in Li Dacheng's view, there is only one way to baptize the fire.

As the sky grew darker, the officials of Zhili were also generally familiar with the night war, and as Sun Shouye's five people broke into the concession area, the fires everywhere made them feel that the odds of victory had shifted to Guishun's side, and these fires also gave the officials the confidence to talk and laugh, and Guishun Guibeile once again became the object of the Zhili officials.

Listening to the officials surrounding Gui Shun like running a train, pouring out a bunch of sycophants, Li Dacheng was very disgusted, listening to the gunfire in the concession area, it was not much sparse, it seems that Sun Shouye's side is also fighting hard!

Street fighting, of course, is beneficial to the Zhenwei army, but for foreign devils with modern rifles in their hands, it can delay time, more than ten people can temporarily block hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of people blocking a few alleys can make Sun Shouye anxious, looking at the continuous flashing fires in the concession area, Li Dacheng can only wish the old man Sun better luck, the street battle in the concession area is destined to be a bitter battle.

After watching the city for more than an hour, a group of officials of Zhili soon lost interest in the war below, and only flickered as far as they could see, and only the crackling sound of guns and cannons was heard, which was boringly tight.

Gui Shun also committed a smoking addiction, and after confessing to Li Dacheng, Gui Shun took most of the officials directly under the city wall down, and it was not for nothing that remained on the city wall, but what these people wanted to do Li Dacheng didn't know, according to Gu Qixing's statement, such people still stayed away, who knows what the hell they have in mind?

With the support of Luo Rongguang's cluster artillery array, Qi Shiduo's side quickly tore a hole in the front line of the Zizhu Forest, looking at the surging flow of people into the British and French concessions in the firelight, Li Dacheng knew that it was only a matter of time before the Tianjin Concession was destroyed.

After Qi Shiduo's main force attacked the concession area, the gunfire inside was obviously much thinner, and the gunfire had a tendency to spread to the east, and now it was too late to run, and the concession area had been turned into a battlefield by the foreign devils themselves, and when the Jiajiagu area started, they would know what despair was.

Sitting at the head of the city, Li Dacheng opened the two pocket watches on his body from time to time to look at the time, from about seven o'clock until more than one o'clock in the morning, the direction of Jiajiagu began to start, if it were not for the small-caliber rapid-fire gun returned by Luo Rongguang, dozens of miles away, the battle in the direction of Jiajiagu could not be seen and heard at all in the night, and the little fire emitted by the rifle was difficult to see with the naked eye even if there were many of them.

Silently counting the number of artillery shots fired in the direction of Jiajiagu, Li Dacheng's face showed joy, the intensity of the artillery fire was not bad, when the artillery was handed in, Nie Shicheng secretly hid a batch, plus more than a dozen guns allocated by Luo Rongguang, Nie Shicheng also had twenty or thirty artillery pieces on his side, and when he was pulling, Li Dagou's men and horses brought a batch of seven-life and five-year-old flowering bombs to Nie Shicheng, these things are tacit things, as long as it is conducive to the war, it doesn't matter to Li Dacheng whether Nie Shicheng hides it or not.

From more than one o'clock to more than three o'clock, the battle situation on Jiajiagu's side was the most intense, looking at the intensity of the artillery fire, Li Dacheng estimated that after the first battle, the artillery in Nie Shicheng's hand was basically completely wasted, the firing frequency was too high, the shooting time was too long, and at more than two o'clock, Nie Shicheng's side should have blown up one or several cannons, looking at the firelight, it should be like this, and the artillery bombardment over there has become weaker and weaker since then.

At more than three o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the morning, the artillery bombardment on Jiajiagu's side stopped, according to the analysis of the battle situation, the reinforcements of the foreign devils should have been defeated and retreated, but it can also be thought of in this way, the artillery on Nie Shicheng's side is completely useless, and the artillery cannot be launched, so the battle situation will be dangerous.

The retreat of the foreign devils means that they can't hold their positions, they can't hold their positions, and with their chaotic formation, they have to retreat in the direction of Dagu from the morning, so that this battle can be a big victory.

If Nie Shicheng didn't repel the reinforcements of the foreign devils head-on and let them stabilize the defensive line, then the matter would be troublesome, and 10,000 horses were stationed, which was not a good thing for either the Wuwei Army or the Zhenwei Army, which meant a large number of casualties.

Not being able to personally participate in this war is quite a regrettable thing for Li Dacheng, now he can't die on the battlefield, it may be better to personally go into battle to command the battle situation, but the danger is also extremely great, killing people is addictive, Li Dacheng is afraid that he will not be able to restrain himself, and lead people to rush to the front line, no matter how high your status is on the battlefield, a stray bullet is enough.

He can be compared to a Zhenwei army, this is Li Dacheng's evaluation of himself, now going to the battlefield is not good for the whole country, waiting for a month, he will definitely go to the battlefield after a month, he will definitely go to the battlefield, taste the fragrant blood of foreign devils, such a regret can only be suppressed for the time being.

Whether it was Qi Shiduo who was close in front of him or Nie Shicheng who was far away in the area of Jiajiagu, he didn't send any news back, Ren Li Dacheng was thinking blindly in the city, there was no battle report on the two fronts, if there was news, even if it reached the government office, Gui Shun and Gu Qixing should also be transferred to his side, no news was too torturous.

At five o'clock, the sky began to brighten, and the foreign devils on the concession area also realized that the reinforcements were blocked in the east, judging from their response, the foreign devils in the concession area still have some tactical literacy, and the tall and thick buildings have become their strongholds in the concession area.

"Brother Liang, you take a few lively brothers to the concession area, find Qi Shiduo and Sun Shouye, and tell them that if the foreign devils stick to the house, let's hold it here and don't attack blindly, let the brothers of the Zhenwei Army take turns to rest and eat, and the next battle will be dominated by the muskets in the hands of the supervising team.

By the way, tell Luo Rongguang and ask him to push all the artillery in his hands into the embassy area, and cooperate with Qi Sun and the two to pull out the strongholds of foreign devils everywhere, just fight slowly, and the concession area is not in a hurry first. ”

The concession area has entered the process of street fighting, and the next thing to fight is firepower, in terms of pure firepower, Qi Shiduo's men and horses are obviously superior to foreign devils, maybe in last night's battle, some foreign devils' artillery can also be captured, so that the foreign devils in the concession area without minions will be better to deal with.

Liang Zhenpu went down with a few ghost-headed knives, and Wang Wu, who had been guarding Li Dacheng's side, walked in front of him, pointed to the sky that had been lit, and pointed to the main stream of the Haihe River in the area of the Purple Bamboo Forest, and stood beside him without saying anything.

Looking in the direction of Wang Wuzhi, the main stream of the Haihe River in the area of the purple bamboo forest has changed color after a night, although it is not bright red, but it is also a turbid rust color, and the blood flowing from the battlefield in the concession area has entered the Haihe River along the drainage ditch, which can dye the river channel 100 meters wide and several miles long into rust color, and the dead are indispensable.

"Alas...... At least 20,000 people, I don't know what the battle situation is on the other side of Jiajiagu, once it is not handled properly, the casualties on that side will be even greater!

Fifth brother, you find a few neat hands and feet, and let them go out to investigate the casualties in two places.

In addition, orders were given to people everywhere that after today, there will be no military order from the Zhenwei Army in the boundary of Jingu, only the west is allowed and not the east, and those who do not respect the law, whether it is the official army or the people, will be killed! ”

The war has just begun, and Li Dacheng wants to prevent the meticulous work of foreign devils, and their meticulous work is likely to be the matter of the Qing Dynasty people, and they can't be allowed to do it yet
