Under the same starlight, Major Raymond became a little frightened because of the inexplicable roar and gunfire of the rainbow army.

He didn't know exactly what was going on, but the inexplicable shouts of these opponents made the old major a little unsettled, but soon Major Raymond forcibly calmed down, he put his hand on the Bible, and said in the gentlest tone: "Your Excellency, Father, excuse me......

The French missionary, who had already prayed the last prayer for the seven French soldiers who had died in battle today, had obviously a great hatred for the Rainbow Army, and therefore prayed with great force, but he soon touched on another crucial question: "Your Excellency Major, can I ......do it for the Russians?"

"He is a citizen of God, but he is an Orthodox Christian!" Major Raymond rejected the missionaries' kindness, and at times, the missionaries liked to give him difficult problems on these issues, but he also knew that this battle would not be possible without the help of the missionaries: "If you have time, sprinkle the light of the Lord on our warriors, for this is a holy war against the infidels......"

The missionary agreed to Raymond's request, and Raymond cast his eyes on the distant night sky, the rebels over there had stopped cheering, but what happened to that?

Major Raymond made his decision quickly, and even with a look of anticipation on his face, no matter what, could not change his victory - because he had no time to wait for a second victory.

If Major General Montoban, the commander of the expeditionary force, is a typical French tragedy, then Major Raymond is the last of the whole French tragedy, and he is forty-two years old this year.

That's right, at the age of forty-two, Major General Montoban had caught up with the last glory of Napoleon's empire, while Major Raymond, a contemporary of the Bourbon dynasty, could only listen to others recount the glory of His Excellency the Emperor, but add more pathos to his own story.

Neither the Bourbons, nor the July dynasty, he became a general before the age of thirty, on the contrary, if it were not for the Crimean War, he could not even become a major before the age of forty.

The Crimea that shook the whole world is a thing of the past, and Major Raymond, a forty-two-year-old major, standing here may be the last battle of his life.

Therefore, Major Raymond quickly restrained all his pathos and pathos, and he knew only one thing, that is, he could only win one by one, and he would not allow defeat.

That's right, there is no room for defeat, even a draw, or a small victory, and he can only use perfect victories to continue his military resume.

He told himself that old Raymond has no problem, just fight according to the method of today and yesterday, and the victory is yours.

The opponents are somewhat stronger than on paper, but the Russian army in Crimea is much weaker, even inferior to the Turkish army, but they are quite numerous.

This must mention the allied forces of the Chinese state around Lei Meng, their combat effectiveness is not strong but there are many of them, but a battalion commander named Pan Dingxin can be called competent, and his troops are also the strongest of all the auxiliary forces of the Chinese country. empty

In the past two days, nearly 1,000 Chinese casualties and escaped, but Raymond is not worried, there are still 3,000 Chinese auxiliary troops around him, and according to the current casualty ratio, it can continue for a whole week.

As for the casualties of the French and the Russians, it can be described as insignificant, with the efforts of Battalion Commander Pan, the French army only went to the battlefield at a critical time, yesterday two French returned to heaven, today seven French were killed, and on the Russian side, two barbarians returned to the arms of Mother Russia, as for the foreign mercenaries, although many people were wounded, no dead have appeared. …,

According to such casualty figures, it will not be a problem to fight for half a month, not to mention that Raymond is ready, as long as he can hold out in Jinshan County for two days, Major General Meng Tuoban will definitely send a large number of reinforcements to meet him.

While the old major was thinking about the final battle of his life, an official from the Chinese Communist State came over under the guidance of an interpreter, and he asked, "Your Excellency Admiral Lei, are we properly retreating?" Our enemies may have gotten some reinforcements! ”

"Pan!" This is the most pleasing Chinese in China that Raymond sees in "Set Sail for Feiya", so he opened the skylight and said: "Trust me, no problem!" ”

That's right, even if he reinforces an infantry brigade, it's no problem.

He didn't know that the Hongjun on the other side was just one more person.

But even if this person did not arrive at the battlefield, the morale of the entire Rainbow Army was completely different, and at the beginning of the rising sun, whether it was the Jiaxing Detachment, or the 11th Marine Regiment, as well as the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion who were transferred to participate in the battle, they all had confident smiles on their faces.

"What kind of troops are we?" Li Guanglei said loudly to a group of young officers in the detachment: "It's not the Jiaxing detachment, it's not the Chuzhou Independent Battalion, we are the Second Dragon Gun Regiment, that's right, the Second Dragon Gun Regiment, beat our flag!" ”

The dragon spear flag made overnight was already waving in the wind, the young officers of the Jiaxing detachment clenched their fists so tightly that they couldn't even speak, and the commander of a vanguard company had already made a guarantee to Li Guanglei: "Don't worry, let this flag flutter in the city of Jinshan County today!" ”

"That's right!" Li Guanglei repeated the sentence with demonic power: "His Royal Highness King Yan has come up, he has come up!" ”

"It's up to us to see how we perform!"

"No matter how fierce the artillery fire of Fayi is, we have determination!"

"Our artillery has only one determination, and that is to put bayonets on the artillery!"

"Let's take the cannon mount to the door of the soldiers!"

"The artillery is all bayonet, and our infantry will be more determined to assault the white soldiers!"

Just when the officers and men of the Jiaxing detachment were full of confidence, Shi Huiji over there had already brought full good news: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a new infantry company that has just arrived after the landing, and today our 11th Marine Regiment will put in 700 more people than yesterday!" ”

Li Guanglei was also arrogant: "I have already informed the artillery that there is no restriction on the firing of artillery today, even if it is all fired......

Shi Huiji is a little older than him: "Don't ask His Royal Highness King Yan how many troops he brought up?" ”

"Don't ask!" Li Guanglei didn't think about the problem of failure at all: "I only know that the inspection has come up, so last night I transferred a reinforced company overnight as the final general reserve, but Liu Ping gave me face and transferred two reinforced companies, one can be used now, and the other will not arrive until noon!" ”

"Good ......"

"Good!" Li Guanglei held Shi Huiji's hand tightly and said, "Fight well!" ”

It was only before the outbreak of the battle that the entire battlefield showed a rare tranquility, and the officers and soldiers were enjoying the most sumptuous breakfast.

They all ate breakfast in silence, in addition to an extra soy milk this morning, each person also had two more eggs, in addition to the amount of breakfast has also increased a lot, in addition to a small amount of wine, in addition to the sound of killing pigs has been heard behind.

It was a meal waiting for the officers and soldiers to return victoriously, but the officers and soldiers were terribly silent, and from time to time someone lowered their heads and chewed the fritters in their mouths vigorously. …,

For many, it's the last breakfast!

The fighting of the past two days has cost the entire Rainbow Army hundreds of casualties, and many people's uniforms are also covered with blood and dust, which is a fact that cannot be changed.

The sun had risen, and some officers and men were nostalgic for such a beautiful sunrise, but soon the sound of gunfire from the east interrupted their pleasure.

It was the scout troops of the Hong Army who had an outpost battle with the Qing army, so the officers and soldiers sped up their movements, just like they usually did, and ate the fritters in their hands together with the meat-stuffed buns in two bites, and shouted in their mouths: "Ready...... I prepared a ......."

Soon, a large group of enemies appeared in the telescope of the commander of the rainbow army, including Qing troops in uniforms, French soldiers in blue uniforms, and foreign soldiers in gray uniforms, no matter who they were, these were enemies worthy of their attention.

The degree of jī fierceness in the outpost battle exceeded the imagination of both sides, and the forward squads on both sides even had jī fierce hand-to-hand combat, and it must be admitted that the French army was a good hand in hand-to-hand combat, so the Hong army also suffered a little loss, but they quickly found their way back on the side of the Qing army.

The gunfire became more and more intense, and Major Raymond was quickly taken aback: "Are the rebels crazy?" ”

He had already found in the telescope that the artillery of the Chinese people was not a small cannon like the mountain splitting cannon made by the Chinese people, but a twelve-pounder mountain grenade, a nine-pounder field gun, a rifled gun and other European light artillery, although these guns were only European light artillery.

However, when the Chinese people advanced the artillery to the front line at the risk of losing artillery, the situation of the outpost battle was completely reversed, and Pan Dingxin next to him was already a little shocked by the enemy's hard work: "The red thief is crazy......

The Rainbow army described this tactic as a bayonet charge from a cannon, and this had set the tone for today's battle, and Major Raymond knew that these cannons were quite precious even on the Russian side, let alone these rebels, and he felt that this was destined to be a bloody day.

But he told Pan Dingxin: "Don't worry, today's winner can only be us!" ”

In the distance, the infantry of the Rainbow Army had already assembled, and with the telescopes and flat terrain, Raymond could already see a sea of grass and green patches!

He was already reminded of the Crimea, where the Russians also launched an offensive with such a crowd, only the Russians fought alongside him today, and the enemy was replaced by the rebels of the Chinese state.

Over there, the infantry phalanx of the Rainbow Army has already moved forward! ）
