"Haiti?"
Pan Dingxin didn't know what Major Raymond was talking about: "What is Haiti?" ”
Haiti is one of the few times in Napoleon's life, although the commander of the campaign was not Napoleon himself, but Major Raymond was reluctant to replace him with another, and that word was Waterloo!
If his troops were wiped out, it would be a fatal blow to the French Empire, which had just won a great victory in the Crimea, so Major Raymond keenly avoided the word: "That's right, Haiti... A great defeat in the history of France, although the cause of the defeat had nothing to do with military affairs! ”
Pan Dingxin didn't understand what Major Raymond meant: "The problem is so serious? That's just Liu Jiehu coming
He didn't have any concept of Liu Jiehu's presence on the battlefield, which should be similar to Yang Xiuqing's visit, and there should be no earth-shattering changes, so he didn't take it seriously, just guessed that the Hong Army could reinforce a number of units.
But although Raymond did not experience that glorious era, he had heard the legendary story from his father's mouth countless times, and knew what kind of change it was, yes! Whenever the Emperor came to the battlefield, the entire French Empire became invincible, until he embarked on the road of no return to Moscow, and he used a trembling voice: "You will not understand, that is the intuition of a soldier..."
In fact, in just one day, Pan Dingxin came to his senses, because the pressure of the Hongjun attacking from all directions made him feel like he was being twisted by his neck.
"We have enough impeachment ammunition for half a month, we have enough food for a month, we have enough water and everything else, and we have ......."
But they lack a king, yes! A true king, like Liu Chang's invincible king, so in just twenty-four hours, the French army in Fengjing Town was in a serious crisis, and now the French army even personally organized several battles for water sources, and the Hong army on the opposite side seemed to be an enemy that could not be defeated.
That's right, when that name appeared in the cheers on the other side, the enemy could be described as a new look, their attacks and defenses became impeccable, and even a French platoon was completely annihilated by them in a matter of minutes, and not even a single corpse was recovered afterwards.
Now Pan Dingxin really understands what kind of concept the name Liu Jiehu represents for Hongjun.
In fact, Liu Chang only brought an infantry battalion, an infantry battalion with a history of only a few months, and as soon as he saw Shi Huiji, Fu Wendao and Li Guanglei, the officers of the Hong Army, he directly explained one point: "I only brought a second battalion of Zhejiang independent infantry, this is the first wave of support that can be obtained in the short term, so you don't expect too much from me......
"No......" said Fu Wen: "Because of this, we are full of infinite hope for you, and today's battle is a pity......"
In just half a day, the Rainbow Army paid nearly 500 casualties, but the losses on the side of the coalition forces can be described as painful to the heart and lungs, a Russian company was completely annihilated, a French infantry platoon was annihilated, and there were many more losses.
In fact, just counting the war dead, the missing, and the captured, the Coalition forces lost more than the Rainbow Army in terms of Europeans, and most of the losses suffered by the Rainbow Army were non-permanent losses that could be recovered. …,
However, the loss of nearly 500 people still made the Hongjun side unbearable, so Fu Wendao continued: "If you can come here two hours in advance, none of the 2,000 enemy troops today will want to go back alive!" ”
This is the role of an infantry battalion in the critical moment, and now the situation is different: "The Yi soldiers were defeated by about six or seven hundred people, and about a thousand Qing demons were gathered, and they fled back to Fengjing in a hurry.
That's right, if Liu Chang hadn't arrived, maybe this battle would have come to an end, after all, the Rainbow Army had already inflicted considerable losses on the coalition forces, but whether it was Fu Wendao or other officers, they all had a firm belief that the Rainbow Army would definitely be able to create miracles.
Now the rainbow army that can continue to participate in the war, excluding the infantry battalion brought by Liu Chang, has a total strength of only 2,500 people, which is not far from the total strength of the French army, but whether it is Fu Wendao or others, they have only one thought, then they will be annihilated!
That's right, annihilating all the two thousand remnants of the army in Fengjing Town, even if they have six or seven hundred or even more famous soldiers, so Liu Chang will definitely create a miracle.
And Liu Chang will not live up to their expectations: "That's right, I came here to tell you one thing, I didn't bring you to the house......"
"I will lead you to create the most glorious page in the history of our Rainbow Army, no matter what unit you belong to, this will be a page in the history of the army that is worth remembering forever......"
"I order, follow me to attack Fengjing Town!"
Liu Chang omitted the word "forward" because he knew that as long as he was on the front line for a moment, there would never be the word retreat, and even if he went to the rear, it was to advance in the direction where the enemy was most concentrated!
"Attack Fengjing Town!"
Meng Toban can be said to be in high spirits during this time, he rediscovered the jī love he had when he was a second lieutenant, and he thought that he could never find this jī love again, at least not in a woman.
But it turned out that he was wrong, his attack in Suzhou Mansion went well, and the little girl on the opposite side did not dare to challenge the French tricolor head-on, she did not even have the determination to resist, but kept sending Mini infantry gunmen and one or two light artillery guns to create trouble for Montoban with the tactics of hitting and running.
In fact, the little girl on the opposite side took a continuous attack, from day to night, from the field to the water town, gunshots were heard everywhere, but from the beginning to the present, Meng Toban still did not find any opportunity to fight a tough battle.
But that's no problem, the casualties were only a few Chinese people, and the Europeans suffered pitiful casualties, so Montoban didn't think there would be any problems with his Suzhou strategy.
He even opened a bottle of cherished champagne for his smooth progress, knowing that it was not easy to buy real champagne in the Far East, but when he lifted the champagne, he heard a completely unexpected news: "Major Raymond is asking for help, oh my God...... What's he doing! ”
According to his understanding, the rebel forces in Jiaxing and Suzhou were the same, with four infantry battalions, and Raymond had almost 900 Europeans and 4,000 or 5,000 government troops, and according to his experience in Suzhou Prefecture, it was only a matter of time before he eliminated his opponents in front of him.
But the news came that gave Montoban a fatal blow: "Now nearly 20,000 rebels are besieging Major Raymond, and the losses are staggering, and at least one hundred and fifty Europeans are killed or wounded......"
One hundred and fifty Europeans, Montoban has seen the continuous doubts in the country, this is not an expedition, just a marching exercise, but Raymond has played all this one by one In fact, Major Raymond has underestimated the number of European casualties as much as possible, in fact, the number of Europeans killed in the war alone is more than one hundred and fifty, and it will continue to increase. …,
Now the rebels continue to increase their strength, and their commander is Liu Chang, the king of Yan, also known as "Liu Jiehu." "This is worthy of respect, they have at least thirty infantry battalions in their hands, in addition to hundreds of artillery, Fengjing Town is under continuous artillery bombardment, we need to support..."
"Damn it!" After reading the letter asking for help, Meng Toban knew that he had only wasted time in Suzhou Mansion before, and now that the main force of the rebels was concentrated in Jiaxing Province, if Major Raymond's troops were annihilated, it would be an irreparable loss.
He immediately gave the order: "We must stop the all-out offensive in Suzhou Province, although we will capture Suzhou Province soon, but I must transfer half of the Europeans to support Major Raymond, this is really a difficult choice!" ”
The politicians at home would not see whether he had captured Suzhou or elsewhere, for them it would make no difference to any city in the country, they would only see that Raymond's troops had suffered serious losses, and the loss of one hundred and fifty Europeans was enough for the parliamentarians to publish dozens of articles in the newspapers.
Thinking of this, Meng Toban had to give up the Suzhou Mansion at his fingertips, and turned to the rescue of Major Raymond, but fortunately, although the Russians had not yet sent new reinforcements, two infantry battalions sent from Algeria arrived in Shanghai, and according to the information they brought, the country not only agreed to his request for additional troops, but also gave him an infantry battalion, and five infantry battalions would arrive in China.
However, he had to rescue Major Raymond, so he left only a European infantry battalion to cooperate with the 5,000 Qing troops to contain the rebels in front of him, while the main French army turned south in an orderly manner under his orders.
According to Mentoban's plan, it would take him only a week to return to Suzhou, but he proved out to be very wrong, and when the French army advanced south for two hours, a dense burst of gunfire was heard from the north.
The main force of the Rainbow Army, which Meng Toban had been thinking about for a long time, finally came at the moment when he was least willing to appear, and in the evening came even worse news, the remaining Chinese government army suffered heavy losses, and at least two of their infantry battalions were devastated, and even the infantry battalion that remained suffered some losses.
Therefore, they strongly demanded that Major General Mentoban leave at least two more infantry battalions...... Bring fat ducks that you can eat, raise and sell
