"Bang!" A quiet gunshot could be heard in the distance, and a thick white smoke rose from the doorway of a barn.

As soon as the motorized infantry saw this stance, they knew that someone was shooting at the troops with black medicine bullets. The truck brigade did not accelerate in a panic, nor did it stop stupidly, but just slowed down and continued to move slowly. Iron sheets were added to the inside and outside of the truck bed, and sandbags were piled on the inside of the truck. Black medicine weapons are basically incapable of shooting through such movable bunkers from a distance of several hundred meters. The infantrymen crouched behind the bunkers and uncovered the firing ports, and small black holes appeared in the rubber-canvas canopy that covered the entire carriage, and the muzzles of the guns protruded from them.

It was the artillery that really launched the attack, and the truck with the 37 guns stopped, and the gunners wrapped in ponchos threw off the ponchos and quickly determined to shoot the Zhuyuan. The first shot did not hit accurately, the second did not hit accurately, and the next three shells in a row all hit the barn. Flames and smoke burst from the inside through the barn's windows and doors, and the third hit of the incendiary bomb quickly set the barn inside into flames.

Two trucks pulled out of the ranks and stopped. The infantrymen on the car jumped out of the car one after another. Rather than following the trail of sheep and intestines that people and animals had stepped on, they followed a more concealed route to surround them. The artillery in the open ground was ready to provide fire support to their infantry at any time.

As we approached the farmhouse, there were resistance fighters who put up fierce resistance with black medicine weapons, and as soon as the 37 guns passed, the resistance on the opposite side was completely weakened, and the rifles of the Liberation Army rang out crisply, and the small battle centered on the cabins and farms that was common in Oregon or the western United States ended.

Qi Rui wore a dark green rubber poncho like ordinary soldiers, and although this thing was heavy, it was very windproof. The big wind on the beach is not able to penetrate the poncho, let alone the light wind and rain in the plains. Qi Rui observed the whole battle with a telescope, he actually wanted to participate in this kind of battle in person, but reason still stifled Qi Rui's impulse. Qi Rui just walked along the battle process a few times after the battle, and summarized the battle mode in his heart according to the accounts of the combatants.

"The law and order war destroys morale the most, and people's thinking is a process of constant strengthening. There are many battles like this, and as long as you see similar buildings, your first reaction is to feel dangerous. Being in such a dangerous situation for many years as an adult can easily cause psychological problems. Recalling his father's words, Qi Rui couldn't help but sigh slightly. Dad sometimes sees the focus of the problem far from a normal person, and it often makes people feel inexplicable. When I really did it, I found that my father had already expected some unsolvable problems.

The topography of Huashengton is similar to that of Oregon, with coastal plains to the west and mountains to the east. The motorized reinforcement regiment led by Qi Rui set out from Portland to sweep south, but in five days, this kind of battle has happened dozens of times. "Fortunately" it was the motorized troops who took the lead, and each battle did not delay the march of the troops much. As now, only two infantry squads, three artillery groups were really put into battle, and the rest of the units moved on. In a few moments, these combat units will be able to close their ranks and chase the convoy in front of them on a safe road.

The convoy was followed by cavalry and three divisions of infantry. With the speed of their march, it is just right to keep up with the march of the motorized infantry. The farmhouses and farms captured along the way were just the right time for the troops to be divided into strongholds on the lines of communication. Qi Rui really didn't expect that the motorized infantry could play such a role before he was reminded by his father.

The motorized infantry was thrilled at first by such a back-to-back battle, but after five days, the troops were under too much mental pressure. Although it did not affect the battle, it obviously made Qi Rui feel the changes in the troops. Now Qi Rui began to attach great importance to his father's words, and according to Daddy Wei Ze's prediction, it would take about two months for the troops to correct and rotate. If this line of thinking is followed, within two months, that is, by the end of January, the entire plains of Warshengton and Oregon must be completely occupied. And in the mountainous areas to control the main traffic routes, in preparation for the start of the big war in the spring of 1889.

Judging from the map and the performance of the motorized infantry in these days, the motorized infantry can maintain a distance of 30 kilometers per day in this kind of weather with an average temperature of less than 10 degrees......

As soon as I thought about this, I heard a woman's scream in the distance. Qi Rui let out a long sigh, the battle certainly hurt morale, but the end of the battle was actually not much better. The final step is basically to capture the prisoners and let the heroic Liberation Army fight, and the soldiers naturally have no opinion. But letting the soldiers grab the women and take them out of their homes with ropes and ropes dragged out of their homes by the overly frightened women was even more demoralizing than the battle.

When my father used Japanese ronins when he cleaned the natives, Qi Rui felt a little too much at first. Now the young man has to admit that it was really the best thing to do.

In the distant city of Xinxiang, Shen Xin, the chief political commissar of the North American theater of operations, that is, the supreme commander of the theater, was also thinking about this matter. A thousand Einsatzgruppen teams from Goryeo are about to arrive in North America, and they will do some of the dirty work. The work of dragging American women and children out of the house has already been mentioned in the reports of the front, although it is not expected that these men can effectively deal with American men, but they can use them against American women and children.

Later generations could certainly decorate the war with countless gold dust and flower petals, and spray it with perfume and wine in an imaginary way. But those who are really involved in the war can feel nothing but pain, but it is tedious.

The speed of action of the governor of Wezetu was truly astonishing, and a thousand Koreans were in North America on December 24. The ship didn't even arrive in Vancouver and docked directly at the Port of Portland. After 2 days of truck bumps, two capable young men wearing railway police uniforms appeared in front of Qi Rui, and the first one saluted Qi Rui with a not-so-standard military strength, and the young man said loudly: "Political Commissar Qi Rui, I am Yuan Shikai, the deputy manager of the Korea Railway and Telegraph Company. This is Wang Shizhen, political commissar of the police brigade of the Korea Railway and Telegraph Company. ”

When Qi Rui stepped forward to shake hands with Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen, he asked with a straight face: "Let the Koreans deal with women and children, can they afford it?" ”

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but glance at Wang Shizhen, and then asked Qi Rui, "How to deal with it?" This order is so strange that Yuan Shikai can't understand it completely. Half a month ago, Governor Wei Zedu directly ordered Goryeo to send 1,000 people to North America to support the battle, Yuan Shikai didn't expect such a good thing to fall on his head. What an honor and opportunity to be able to fight side by side with the Liberation Army. Commanding 1,000 people in the Liberation Army is the strength of two battalions, and at least they are deputy regimental cadres. War is also a great place for meritorious service, a young regimental-level cadre, or even a future division-level cadre. Returning to Goryeo in such an capacity, Yuan Shikai will be able to steadily become the real power faction in Goryeo. Without saying a word, Yuan Shikai gathered the police teams of the Goryeo Railway and the Telegraph Company, and after each of them gave a large amount of money to settle in, he dragged them on the boat.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in North America, the order he received was actually to deal with North American women and children, if it weren't for the serious expression of the young lieutenant colonel opposite, without the slightest ridicule or frivolity, Yuan Shikai even wanted to ask the lieutenant colonel, "What are you kidding?" ”

Wang Shizhen's mood was not affected, and he said in a calm tone: "Lieutenant Colonel Qi Rui, can you give us specific guidance?" We can take someone to try it ourselves. ”

Such a calm attitude made Yuan Shikai feel that his impetuous mood had also calmed down a little, and he almost forcibly brought Wang Shizhen with him during this trip, without this old guy coming to North America together, Yuan Shikai always felt like something was missing. Faced with the lieutenant colonel's strange problem, if it weren't for the calm response of this old fellow, Yuan Shikai found that he was easily led by emotion.

"You take ten men. I'll tell you what to do when the fight starts. Qi Rui was very satisfied with Wang Shizhen's reaction, and there were some things that Qi Rui didn't want to say so much. When it comes to women and children, he also feels a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't want to explain in detail at all.

More than three hours later, Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen completed the task for the first time. Yuan Shikai participated in the binding and dragging action of European and American women for the first time, but he didn't expect that the other party was tall and hard. Wang Shizhen's body is far less strong than Yuan Shikai, and he can't help but breathe. The Goryeo policemen were suddenly pulled into the battlefield, and they were also a little scared. Later, they found out that they were only thankful for the work of the bondage escorts, which they often did in Goryeo. In the past, most of them were men, but now they are dealing with foreign women with high noses and deep eyes, and it seems that they are very happy about it.

Seeing Qi Rui looking at the Koreans who were obviously giggling, Yuan Shikai didn't say a word, picked up a rifle and rushed up to smash the hippie-smiling Koreans, scolding while beating, and after a while, the Koreans understood, in addition to nodding and apologizing, the whole state also returned to the usual strict appearance.

Wang Shizhen didn't explain either, and any explanation was meaningless at this time. Since his partner saw the crux of the problem, Wang Shizhen asked: "Political Commissar Qi, do you only let Gao Li take on these jobs?" ”

"Yes, I don't expect them to fight. Take on these tasks and do them well. I'm satisfied. "Qi Rui was finally able to throw the dirty work at hand to the Koreans, although Yuan Shikai's methods were simple and rude, it seemed to be quite effective for the Koreans. Wang Shizhen showed considerable understanding, and this pair of partners is also quite reassuring.

"The work of burying the body is done by the troops? Or let the Koreans do it? Wang Shizhen continued to ask. He deliberately emphasized his Chinese identity with Yuan Shikai, and it would be bad if he was considered by the Guangfu Army to be a Goryeo.

Qi Rui didn't think of this stubble for a while. The motorized infantry only fights and captures, and the corpses are thrown to the infantry behind to deal with them. Now that Wang Shizhen mentions this matter, Qi Rui's evaluation of Wang Shizhen is much higher. It is easy for an army to maintain morale if it is only about fighting. But a lot of garbage work can't be left undone, Wang Shizhen's observation and initiative to undertake the work made Qi Rui feel good, and he finally couldn't help but smile on his serious face, and said in a somewhat relieved voice: "Let the Korean people do it." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Rui looked at Yuan Shikai again. After some beatings and reprimands, the behavior of the Koreans also seemed to be somewhat in line with the appearance of the battlefield. What's more, the Goryeo people did not have the slightest appearance of resistance and dissatisfaction, and were as obedient as lambs in front of Yuan Shikai. Although he had a good impression of Wang Shizhen, Qi Rui did not mean to underestimate Yuan Shikai.

Qi Rui thought to himself, are these two people very capable.
