Before the war, Tianjia Town was even full of tension in the air, especially the Xin'an Temple camp that the Wu army temporarily decided to establish, and it was even more busy and tense everywhere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hurry, hurry, the Rakshasa people are coming, hurry up and dig!"

"Didn't eat? Hurry up and dig! The Rakshasa devil is coming! ”

"Pierce the antlers deeper, don't let the Rakshasa people fall down with a push! Our enemies this time are not rebels, nor thieves, but Rakshasas! ”

Although he didn't know much about psychology, but when he heard these anxious shouts and saw the hurried and panicked movements of the soldiers and migrant workers, Wu Chaoyue knew that there was something wrong with his military mentality, and the soldiers were still a little afraid and afraid of the Tsarist Russian army.

However, Wu Chaoyue did not blame Cao Yanzhong, Yang Shilin and others for their ineffective management of the army, because most people have the psychology of fear of the unknown, and at the same time, the foreign performance of these Chinese armies is so bad, and the privileges obtained by foreigners in China by virtue of force are so huge, it is not surprising that the officers and men of the Wu army have a serious lack of confidence when fighting against foreign armies.

In this regard, Wu Chaoyue did not waste any time to make any speeches, and then told Wu Jun that Russians can also be killed and wounded, but directly arranged a task for his pro-military battalion officer Wu Dayuan - let the sniper touch the vicinity of the Qing-Russian combined fleet station, find an opportunity to kill a Russian, and then find a way to bring the corpse back to show the public!

"Young Master Sun, you can embarrass me to death." Wu Dadao said with a sad face: "If you just shoot a cold gun and kill a few Rakshasa devils, then you must be a little sure, but if you have to bring the corpse back, I'm afraid the small one won't be able to do it." ”

"I don't care about this, you go and find a way." Wu Chaoyue's face was full of Zhou's skin, and he smiled and said, "Don't you often boast about your intelligence? Why can't you do this little thing? ”

"It's ......." Wu Da was even more embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Young Master Sun, then I can only give it a try." Also, I'm going to get a woman to help me. ”

"It's smart." Wu Chaoyue laughed when he heard this, and asked curiously: "But how do you know that the military discipline of the Rakshasa people is poor?" Can you come up with such a solution? ”

"The little one doesn't know if the military discipline of the Rakshasa people is good." Wu Dadao replied truthfully: "The little one is just pondering, since the Rakshasa people have walked so far and held back for so long, they have to want to vent when they see a woman." ”

Wu Chaoyue laughed even more, first praised Wu Dada's ability to use his brain, and then said: "You don't need to waste time to find a woman with this guts, pick a good-looking woman in our army and put on a woman's clothes, and just dress up a little." ”

"Damn Qing Guo pig, he can't even measure the height of the most basic peaks! I wonder how you have such a vast land? Or is our Siberian governor right, he should kill all you yellow-skinned monkeys and rob all your land! ”

Scolding the incompetence of the Qing scouts, the sergeant of the Tsarist Russian Navy Goromekin finally completed the altitude mapping of the defensive positions of the Wu army, recorded the obtained data on paper, and ordered the Qing army to leave the sampan clipper. However, the Qing scouts did not immediately understand what Goromykin meant, and did not immediately start the boat, Goromykin was furious, raised his hand and gave the Qing scouts two slaps, and pointed downstream to signal to go back.

After finally understanding Goromykin's meaning, the Qing army scouts set sail with a swallowed voice, but at this moment, Private Basil, who accompanied the protection of Goromykin, pointed to the south bank and shouted, "Goromykin, Kelasava!" Krasavi rub! ”

"Kolasava (woman)?!"

Goromekin, who had not touched a woman since leaving the Baltic Sea, quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of his subordinates' fingers, but saw that among the rocks not far from the shore, there was indeed a Chinese woman in red clothes looking into the river, not knowing what she was looking for, and her appearance seemed to be good-looking.

The invading army has no military discipline, which has always been most obvious in Russian soldiers, who have not touched a woman for more than half a year, and such a good opportunity to vent is placed in front of him, and it is too unreasonable for Goromikin to know how to seize it. So Goromekin hurriedly ordered the Qing army's sampan boat to dock, but the Qing soldiers who couldn't bear the loss reacted in time this time, and immediately brought the boat to the shore, and Goromekin, who was about to become impotent, took the lead and jumped off the boat, and Private Basil followed closely, "Maidham is high, Holmes!" ”

At this time, of course, the woman ran away from the distance, but Goromekin and Basil pursued him and quickly moved away from the riverbank. Then, naturally, two gunshots suddenly rang out in the grass by the river, one of which hit Goromikin's heart accurately, and Goromykin screamed and fell, and he was very lucky to become the first Russian soldier to die in the battle of Tianjiazhen.

I have to praise the quality of the Tsarist soldiers, although they are only a private, but just after discovering that they have been ambushed, Basil immediately rolled around with a lazy donkey, hid in a pile of rubble, and quickly searched for the ambush location of the Wu army, while beckoning the Qing soldiers to come and reinforce.

It's also a pity that although Basille's fighting quality is good, it's a pity that he ran into the most elite sniper around Wu Chaoyue, seeing him hiding behind the rock, the experienced Wu Jun sniper immediately stopped shooting, quickly changed his position to avoid the smoke of gunpowder exposing his hiding place, and waited patiently for the opportunity to appear. Even if the Qing soldiers ran over for reinforcements, the Wu snipers did not rush to shoot, but just calmly stared at Basil who was hiding behind the stones.

The Qing soldiers cautiously touched Goromykin's side, first confirmed that Goromyjin had been killed, and then carefully searched the surroundings, and the Wu army sniper covered in camouflage was still motionless. Seeing that there was no movement, the Qing soldiers returned that the enemy had fled, so they went to carry Goromykin's body, and Basil also stood up with confidence, but at this moment, another shot rang out, and the bullet hit Basile's lower abdomen. Basil crouched down with a scream, and the Qing soldiers here also shouted and threw down Goromykin's body to hide in Tibet, while the Wu snipers continued to wait patiently.

"Let's go, go back!"

Basil, who was shot in the lower abdomen, was the first to be unable to support it, and beckoned to flee to the Qing army's boat, during which he also tried to lower his body to avoid being shot, but unfortunately, the Wu soldiers who were able to enter the sniper team were not only talented, but also all of them were Wu Chaoyue who piled up the bullets with the Mini gun, and if the bullets fired in the training were converted into silver, the weight had almost caught up with half of their weight. So no matter how short Basile's waist was, a Mini bullet still accurately hit his lower back, directly into his kidneys, Basille screamed again, fell to the ground and howled wildly.

The gunpowder smoke finally inevitably exposed the position of the Wu army sniper, and several Qing soldiers fired indiscriminately at the place where the Wu army sniper was hiding, but the third Wu army sniper, who had not moved, suddenly made a move, and hit a Qing soldier with one shot, and the soldier screamed and fled. The other Qing soldiers were also afraid of the Wu army's sniper's amazing marksmanship, and did not dare to stay where they were any longer as live targets, so they all fled back to the shore and immediately set up a boat to leave, and did not even pay attention to Basil, who was not dead.

…………

The most important reason why the soldiers of the Wu army were able to snipe the two Tsarist soldiers so smoothly was that in this era, even the sniper tactics of the armies of the Western powers had not yet appeared, and they were unexpected. However, Wu Chaoyue asked Wu Dada to spend so much effort to kill two Russian soldiers, of course, his purpose was not as simple as showing off this advanced tactic.

The corpses of the two Russian soldiers were squeezed out of the bone marrow by Wu Chaoyue, and they were first circulated to the battalions in turn, so that the Wu soldiers who had not competed with the foreign army on the battlefield before could see the appearance of the enemy clearly, and let the Wu soldiers know that the Russians were just tall and strange, but in fact, they could also be killed with one shot. Then he called a reporter from the "Hubei People's Daily", which was directly controlled by Wu Jun, to take pictures and write articles denouncing the invaders. In the end, he asked the missionaries to hold a Western funeral for the two Russian soldiers, and invited Western reporters to take pictures and write articles, propagating the civilization and enlightenment of the Wu army, and completely dissociating themselves from the barbaric backwardness of the Manchu court.

After seeing the corpses of the Russian soldiers killed by their companions, the fear and worry in the hearts of the Wu soldiers were greatly reduced, and their confidence gradually returned to the officers and men of the Wu army, and the efficiency of the preparation work was greatly accelerated, not to mention, many generals and soldiers also began to desire the enemy to land and fight as soon as possible, so as to establish greater meritorious service.

Contrary to the Wu army's side, the report that two soldiers were killed by the Wu army's sneak attack filled the Tsarist army with anger, so much so that the Qing sailors who were ordered to protect the Goromikin survey and map the terrain were all subjected to the most severe military justice because of Novosilsky's persecution. Coupled with the reluctance to leave too much time for the Wu army in Xin'an Temple to prepare for the battle, on the morning of the second day after arriving at the Tianjiazhen battlefield, the Qing-Russian combined fleet launched an attack on the Wu army's defense line.

In view of the narrowness of the river and the excessive threat of the Wu army batteries on the north and south banks, Wu Quanmei, who led the Qing army's naval division to serve as cannon fodder in front, did not dare to invest too many ships in the battle at one time, and was very careful to send only ten red single boats to act as the front team, and took the lead in launching a tentative attack on the Wu army's Banbishan fort.

In order to lure more enemy ships into the firing range, and unwilling to expose the gun position prematurely, Cao Yanzhong, the general of the Wu army who was in charge of commanding the Tianjiazhen battlefield, also deliberately did not fire first, and allowed the front team of the Qing army's naval division to approach Banbishan and fire first, and then ordered the Banbishan battery to open fire on its own, and the north bank battery continued to hold its ground and patiently waited for the enemy's main force to dispatch.

As expected before the battle, the excessively narrow position of the Banbishan Fort really caused great trouble to the officers and men of the Wu army, and as long as the shells of the Qing army's naval division could hit the Banbishan fort, it was easy to cause casualties to the officers and men of the Wu army fighting in the open air. The Wu army in Banbishan could only adopt the tactic of adding fuel, most of them hid in the fortifications to avoid bullets, leaving only the gunners to fight on the platform, and put them into the battlefield in batches to reduce casualties.

At the same time, Wu Quanmei also saw at a glance that the Wu army's north bank battery had no purpose of firing, and sneered: "You want to lead me to send the main force to your north bank battery as a live target?" It's a beautiful idea! You have patience, Lao Tzu is even more patient! ”

After sneering, Wu Quanmei quickly arranged a combat queue, organized the Qing army's red single ships into a team of every twenty, and took turns to bombard the Wu army's Banbishan Fort.

Not to mention, Wu Quanmei's hand really caused a lot of pressure on the Wu army, and it was easy to be shot in the small space, even if the Qing army's naval division only invested 20 warships to fight each time, it could still effectively hit the Wu army's Banbishan Fort. On the contrary, because the Qing army fleet was too evacuated, no matter how bravely the soldiers of the Wu army on the Banbishan Fort fought back, the hit rate of hitting the moving target was still not high, and they were never able to effectively inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and it took a long time to sink two enemy ships by luck.

Seeing this scene, Cao Yanzhong, who was in charge of commanding this battle, was inevitably a little anxious, and wanted to adopt the general's suggestion several times and let the North Shore Fort open artillery to help the battle, but every time the words came to his mouth, Cao Yanzhong forcibly held back. Because Cao Yanzhong knew very well that at this time, letting the north shore battery open fire and shoot would not only not achieve too many results, but also immediately expose the gun position, which would attract an overwhelming artillery attack from the Qing-Russian combined fleet, which would be uprooted one by one by the Qing-Russian combined fleet from bottom to top.

"If you are willing to be patient with me, I will compare with you to the end! I don't believe that you only use such a few ships to suppress the Banbishan Battery, and you dare to directly launch a landing operation! Cao Yanzhong thought so viciously.

Although Wu Quanmei still had the patience to go down with Cao Yanzhong, Novosilsky, the commander of the Tsarist Russian fleet, did not have this patience, and asked the interpreter to bring messages to Wu Quanmei several times, asking Wu Quanmei to strengthen the offensive, suppress the Wu army's Banbishan battery with firepower, and also force the Wu army's north bank battery to open fire to expose the gun position, and then exert fire suppression in order to cover the landing operation. At the same time, Wen Xiang, the minister of the Qin Mission, also thought that the progress was too slow, and also forced Wu Quanmei to send many warships forward to strengthen the offensive.

"It's really not worth taking the lives of our Qing soldiers!"

Roaring angrily, Wu Quanmei shouted and ordered, and threw forty red single boats forward in one go. As a result, it was also after these forty enemy ships gradually entered the firing range that Cao Yanzhong, who was relieved, ordered: "Order, prepare the battery on the north bank." ”
