"Head Shi......" Li Guanglei hesitated for a moment before saying in an uncertain tone: "You have just come ashore and have been drifting at sea for so long?" Is that really okay? ”

Even if there is a problem, Shi Huiji has to fight for this breath: "No problem, absolutely no problem, you can go into battle at any time, you must know the history of the infantry battalion, the predecessor of our 11th Marine Regiment is the Huang Taiyu Independent Battalion, and the history is longer than your independent battalion in Chuzhou!" ”

This is a truth, although the Jiaxing detachment promised that its predecessor was the second battalion of the dragon lance, and they even thought that they should be the second regiment of the dragon lance, only because of the tacit understanding with the British, it was reorganized into a two-battalion Jiaxing detachment, but there is a fact that they have to admit, that is, their predecessor is just the first independent battalion in Chuzhou, if it is longer than the history, it is really not as good as the 11th Marine Regiment brought by Shi Huiji.

"That's good!" Although Li Guanglei has the unique arrogance of the dragon lance battalion, he also knows how to maintain this pride: "Then hand over the garrison task to the 600 people who are sent to us to support us, and you have prepared a powerful infantry battalion, ready to participate in the battle as soon as possible!" ”

"How many infantry battalions are you going to fight?" Shi Huiji calmed down again now, and asked this crucial question: "There are three or five hundred people in Fayi, not to mention, there are thousands of Qing Demons, not to be underestimated!" ”

Li Guanglei immediately replied: "Four infantry battalions, two and a half infantry battalions and all heavy firearms, plus all of your marine regiments, are enough, rest assured, the Qing demons from Shanghai are all tofu soldiers, and they can cross at one rush, and they have no combat effectiveness." All we have to pack up are the three or five hundred French and Russian soldiers...... As for the garrison, one and a half infantry battalions plus six hundred reinforcements from the checkpoints. Barely enough! ”

Shi Huiji estimated that there were about 3,000 men attacking the French and Russian troops. Considering that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Shanghai was not strong. Although the strength of the army is three or four thousand. However, the combat effectiveness is at most on par with an infantry battalion of the Hong Army, and it should be certain to be sure that the remaining 2,000 or so will attack a few hundred foreign soldiers: "Good!" Our Marine Regiment will have a few hundred people landing in the future, and even if we can't fight at the first time, we can be responsible for the defense of Jiaxing Mansion. By the way, for the next step of arrangement, what are the arrangements for the inspection point? ”

Li Guanglei replied: "The preliminary plan has been decided, and since the cavalry brigade is still in Anhui, it will take a certain amount of time to dispatch. Now the four infantry battalions of the reserve brigade will be transferred first, but the four infantry battalions of the reserve brigade will be counted on. You might as well count on your Marine Corps......"

In fact, in addition to the four infantry battalions, the reserve brigade also has artillery battalions, cavalry companies, engineer companies, baggage companies, health companies, and other directly subordinate units, and its strength is a whole grade stronger than that of the Marine Corps.

However, Shi Huiji didn't want to talk about this matter in depth, he just nodded slightly, and then asked the most crucial question: "So has the inspection approved the plan to attack the French this time?" ”

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!" Li Guanglei replied: "Now it is the first striker to control the people, and the late striker to control the people, which can be said to be our best opportunity, as long as this faction of Fayi and Russia is painful, we can buy time for the whole army." ”

Although the combined forces of the Qing army and the French army and the Russian army have formed a certain military advantage near Shanghai, before the formal battle, both sides are not clear about what the combat effectiveness of the two sides is.

Therefore, Li Guanglei was eager to seize the opportunity and strive to eat a part of the French army in the battle, which chilled the French army and the Russian army in the first battle, but Shi Huiji still persuaded him: "This is not good!" Now the whole army is waiting for the commander of the first division Qu to return from Jiangxi Zhenlu, if we start too early and miss the major event of the inspection, it will not be good to ......"...,

Li Guanglei smiled: "No problem, I have already written an order before the inspection, ordering me to deal with it freely when the French soldiers invade the territory, and not to miss the fighter......"

Liu Chang was indeed completely desperate for peace, so he issued such an order, and Shi Huiji grasped the core of the problem: "Are there any laws and Russians in my territory?" ”

"Not yet!" Li Guanglei also said unequivocally: "However, due to this implication, there are often commotions in my territory, and the troops are not only tired of suppression, but also a small group of Qing troops take advantage of the situation to invade my Jiaxing Mansion......"

At this time, Fu Wendao, the deputy commander of the Marine Corps, interjected: "That's good, this is the best fighter, and it can attack its unpreparedness ......."

Now although the French army and the Russian army have been dispatched, they are not yet psychologically prepared to fight with the Hong army, and the Qing army that was coerced by them has begun to reconnoiter Jiaxing Mansion, but this is also the best attack moment for the Hong army in the Jiaxing area, Fu Wendao continued: "Strive to annihilate all the demons within an hour or two, and then when we clean up the French soldiers and Russian soldiers, we will concentrate three or four thousand people to fight hundreds of soldiers, if we can't take it, then this battle will not have to be fought!" ”

"That's right!" Li Guanglei felt that Fu Wendao and himself really hit it off: "There are more than 10,000 Yi soldiers in Shanghai, and there are still large reinforcements in the future. ”

"That's it, neatly clean!" Fu Wendao had a murderous aura on his body: "We used the corpses of foreign soldiers to build a Beijing view, so that the Yi people in Shanghai could open their eyes!" ”

As he was talking, there was already news from the fast horse over there: "Report, I found that another hundred and forty Yi soldiers with two cannons came to land the Qing Demon in the direction of Shanghai, but it is not clear whether it is Fayi or Russian Yi ......"

Now even Shi Huiji was persuaded by them: "That's right, when the Yi soldiers come up with reinforcements, we just have a big evil battle, it's better to start now, don't do it, don't stop, and directly destroy a batch of Yi soldiers first!" ”

"No!" Li Guanglei's pride also carries the unique wisdom of Chinese peasants: "We are counterattacking in self-defense, and we are the first to fire the first shot ......of the Yi soldiers."

"That's right!" Fu Wendao also echoed Li Guanglei's statement: "We are just fighting back in self-defense......"

He and Li Guanglei had already set the tone for this unexpected battle, and after that, the entire Jiaxing Mansion would be mobilized.

……

"What? Sun Huzi has not retreated from Zhenjiang in time? Now there are only four infantry battalions of Bao Meiying in Suzhou Prefecture? ”

Liu Chang's face was full of anger, and he said to Nan Bohang: "Give Sun Huzi an order, the whole world wants to know where Sun Lixing is?" I don't care how many casualties he suffered in attacking Zhenjiang Mansion, whether it was 300 or 500! I need him to retreat immediately, yes immediately! ”

The situation in the map has been clearly seen, Suzhou is much more dangerous than Jiaxing, although the two provinces are four infantry battalions, but the infantry battalion of Jiaxing is stronger, not to mention, and has been supported by six hundred people sent by Hangzhou.

Moreover, according to the telegram sent from Ningbo Prefecture, the 11th Regiment of the Haiphong Marine Corps has now set sail for Jiaxing Mansion, and after calculating the time, it has almost arrived in Jiaxing Mansion.

And in the future, the entire reserve brigade will also be used in the direction of Jiaxing, although in a certain case, the reserve brigade is only an enlarged version of the extra-large infantry regiment, but the entire reserve brigade also has a large strength of 3,200 troops, even if it cannot be used for attack, there is no problem for garrison.

Therefore, now Suzhou Mansion has become the weakest link in the defense line of the Hong Army, but at this time, the main force of Sun Huzi's Third Division is still nostalgic for Zhenjiang Mansion and entangled with the Qing army there, so Liu Chang can't restrain his mood.

Nan Bohang, who was on the side, said: "It should be four infantry battalions, although the third division is still attacking Zhenjiang Mansion, but the defenders of Changzhou have been ordered to send half an infantry battalion based on one and a half companies of infantry to Suzhou Mansion to support ......"...,

"A company and a half infantry? That's a third of an infantry battalion at best. Liu Chang restrained his emotions: "How many troops does Suzhou Mansion have now?" ”

"If you count the newly recruited township soldiers and county independent companies, our army in the entire Suzhou Prefecture has about 5,000 troops, but there are only 3,500 people who can really rely on them, of which only 2,000 are veterans." Nanbo Hang repeated the data: "Is it to transfer the newly formed Sixth Brigade to Suzhou Mansion!" ”

"No need!" Liu Chang paid attention to the map: "Guan Jian is still in the third division, if he doesn't return to Changzhou Mansion in time, it will be dangerous." ”

Nanbo Hang knew what he was worried about Liu Chang, if the British army and the French army chose Suzhou Mansion as a breakthrough, Bao Meiying's troops in Suzhou Mansion would definitely not be able to withstand the offensive of the British army, the French army and the Qing army like a tide, you must know that Bao Meiying may face an attack by one or two thousand enemy troops, not to mention that there are real European troops among these enemy troops.

However, Nan Bohang believes that the key problem is not that the third division can withdraw from Zhenjiang, but whether the first division can return east in time: "Your Highness, you shouldn't give that order to Commander Qu, the first division is the axis of the whole army, as long as they come back, half of the entire Dongcai will be fine!" ”

"If you want to regret it now, it's too late!" Liu Chang is now chic: "I, Liu Chang, am a teenager, even if I fail, I can start again, huh?" ”

The sweaty military envoy over there rushed all the way into the Yanwang Mansion and knelt down for Liu Chang: "The villain has seen His Royal Highness the King of Yan, and General Bao of Suzhou Mansion told the villain to inform the inspection, two thousand five hundred Yi soldiers, and six thousand Qing demons have invaded Suzhou Mansion, and now they are connected with the demon soldiers, and it is estimated that they will start a war with the Yi soldiers within a day or two!" ”

"So fast?" Liu Chang was obviously taken aback: "It's coming so fast, it seems that we can only count on the first division!" ”

He didn't know that the Hongjun in the direction of Jiaxing had already made up his mind to strike first, but he had already made a decision: "Prepare...... Let's go to Jiaxing! (To be continued) RQ
