Chapter 45: Bloodstained Dihua (Part I) (2nd Vote)
The only good news is that the main force of the Luzon security army is the Hunan army Huaiyong, and Song Haiping does not have to worry about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Japanese side only needs to provide some assistance and air strike forces.
Song Haiping and Yu Deqian went out to recruit displaced people, just to make a gesture, and the specific affairs naturally had their subordinates to do, otherwise it would be useless to let the leaders do everything and the people below.
It is no wonder that after the death of Zhuge Liang, who must bow down to everything, there were no talents in Shu. His subordinates are not afraid to do wrong things, and if they have criticized them this time, they will not make the same mistake next time. In this way, the team is trained, and the talent will naturally stand out. In the later period of the Shu State and the Wu Kingdom, the son of the general was the general, the son of the prime minister was the prime minister, and the son of the governor was the governor.
Of course, meritocracy also has its own problems, how can a great talent like Sima Yi be willing to live under Cao Wei, a rebellious minister and thief who destroyed the Han Dynasty and stood on his own-Lao Tzu was born in the Han Dynasty, and he was also an official of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is wrong to say that the nuns are only touched by the monks, and others can not touch them, at this time the nuns on Mount Tai are very popular, and everyone touches them for some money.
After thousands of years of summary of feudal society, the standard of employment is finally obtained: the first class has both ability and political integrity, the second class has virtue but no talent, the third class has no virtue and no talent, and the fourth class has talent but no virtue. In the famous game promotion chart of the Ming and Qing dynasties, merit and virtue are promoted, which is Zhongping, and the stolen goods are demoted, as well as the official position of the Chongwenmen Tax Division.
Take the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for nearly 300 years, except for the founding period, only in the later period, Yuan Shikai, a talented and unvirtuous person, was forced to train the new army, which was a man who indirectly destroyed the Qing Dynasty. The officials who descended to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty were all compiled into the official compilation of the Second Ministers Record in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and were reviled by all generations.
Just when both the north and the south were entering the working period, Tymoshenko, who was appointed by the tsar as the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, also sent a million troops into the northwest border of China.
When Tymoshenko set out from Moscow in Russia, there were only 200,000 infantry, 30,000 artillery, and 50,000 Cossack cavalry. Of the 200,000 infantry, 80,000 still had spears, and only 120,000 musketeers -- more men and fewer guns have always been the characteristics of the Russian army, or rather, whether it was World War I or World War II, or before, the Russians never had enough weapons, who let these people be gray animals.
Fortunately, the tsar also gave Tymoshenko another right to conscript displaced people and armed immigrants who voluntarily went to the East along the way, as well as prisoners from prisons everywhere, and as for whether these displaced people, prisoners and armed immigrants who do not even know the word are really voluntary, then God knows.
As a result, Tymoshenko's army began to expand continuously on the road, and when it set out from Moscow, an infantry regiment of more than 1,000 people became an infantry regiment of 5,000 or 6,000 people in northwest China. Twenty or thirty people in a class is the norm, and a platoon of more than 100 people is nothing.
The only pity is that the artillery has only increased by a few thousand people, and the Cossack cavalry has only increased to more than 60,000 people. Most of the rest were armed infantry and bare-handed infantry - who made them gray cattle, just go to the battlefield and pick up weapons and take them to fight.
Before the Russian army entered the northwest, Xianfeng's strategy began earlier. The article drawn up by the Military Aircraft Department is that the army is fortified and Qingye is divided into troops to stick to the line of Dihua, Dabancheng, Turpan, and Hami. Temporarily abandon Almaty to Tomsk and stretch the supply lines of the Russians.
The Qing soldiers had their own air boats to transport supplies and even replenish the front line, but the Russians came all the way here, and there must not be much supply left, and most of the area east of Dihua could not be supplied to the army.
If the Russians wanted to attack the city, it would be great, with 50,000 iron cans under the Eight Banners, 100,000 cuirassiers, and 250,000 light infantry cavalry of the other banners -- and more than 300 artillery pieces. The Eight Banners Tin Cans are not even as fast as the light infantry, but their defense is absolutely guaranteed. In the defense of the city, troops can be transferred from the inner line, which is an advantage that the besieging side does not have.
If the Russians wanted to bypass Dihua, then the iron cans and cavalry of Dihua City could attack the more vulnerable logistical supply lines of the Russians. In this area of the northwest, food is still good, and if there is no water to drink, people will definitely die in two or three days. On this Silk Road, where wells can be drilled and oases are located, towns have long been built, and now they are heavily guarded.
Tymoshenko is also a famous Russian general, and she stopped the army outside the city of Dihua and mounted in all directions, but the result was that all water sources were heavily guarded. Tymoshenko immediately understood the situation in front of her, either carrying water from thousands of miles behind, or taking these heavily guarded cities one by one.
Generalissimo Tymoshenko did not have much time to think about, and the day after the city of Dihua, Tymoshenko began to order the artillery to set up artillery positions and prepare to start the siege of the city.
It was now popular in Europe for artillery to blast through the walls and then the infantry to advance and take the city.
Seeing that the Russian army began to set up artillery positions, the Qing artillery hidden on the thickened city wall opened fire first. The Russian artillery positions bombed by the shells were in shambles, and the Russian army had been propagating that the Qing Dynasty was indigenous, and the weapons used were bows, arrows and spears.
Tymoshenko, whose artillery positions were bombed, immediately ordered the infantry to start the siege with a small number of ladders, and if the ladders were not enough, they would build human walls and ladders. If you attack now, you don't need to eat the artillery of the Qing army, if the Qing army transfers artillery to attack the infantry, then let the artillery continue to set up artillery positions to fight against the Qing army.
It's a pity that in this kind of war, the Cossack cavalry, the greatest combat force in Tymoshenko's hands, could not be brought into play, and the cavalry could not be dismounted to attack the city - there were still millions of gray cattle to use here, it was not necessary.
On the first day, the battle between the two sides was not tentative, and immediately entered a white heat, the Qing soldiers fired at the Russian infantry with advanced guns, and the artillery continued to bombard the Russian artillery positions. But the Russian grey cattle, who had drunk vodka, rushed down to the city, though the few ladders along the way were almost lost.
However, the Russian army didn't care, and began to build a human wall as a ladder under the cover of a few musketeers under the city, and began to attack the city. The Qing army was also prepared for a long time, although it did not burn the gold liquid, but there were cans of black fire oil, a specialty of the northwest, which were thrown by the Qing army under the city occupied by the Russians, and then torches were thrown.
Pieces of black fire oil burned, and finally burned into a wall of fire almost in the direction of the main attack of the Russian army, and no matter how much vodka the Russian gray livestock drank before the war, they also knew that the flames were hot. After throwing thousands of gray corpses under the city walls, the tide of the Russian offensive receded.
