Chapter 208: The Battle of Shanghai (2)

"Kill!"

The recruits, who had just been trained for less than two days, rushed out of the hiding hole under the leadership of the guard battalion and opened fire on the French troops who rushed up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This gave the recruits a great encouragement, and they pulled the bolt of their guns and shot outside the trench, at this time, it didn't matter if they could hit or not, as long as they dared to shoot were heroes, it was progress.

Marksmanship is trained by constant shooting.

"Very good, just hit it like this, load it quickly, remember to pull the bolt, see no, the red-haired ghost was also born by his father's mother, a shot passed, and he still wore a hole to bleed to death, and he had to call his father and mother for help."

The more rude the joke, the closer it can get to the hearts of the recruits, it is reassuring to listen to, there is always a group of people in a thousand people who are born soldiers, and they quickly adapt to it, they are not afraid, and they keep firing.

You must know that these recruits Yang Dongfang also used breech guns for them, and transferred all the muskets of the Qianguidong Regiment from Guangzhou, and there were thousands of people who still blocked the attack of the French army as long as they were not defeated and retreated.

"How can there be so much firepower, could it be that Yang Dongfang has transferred all his muskets to guard against me." Li Liwei was very puzzled, so he could only continue to let the artillery bombardment, pause the fierce offensive, and see how the Huai army was doing.

For the defense line of Jiading and Qingpu, Yang Dongfang has been extended to the line of Nanxiang Town, Fengbin Town, and Huacao Town.

The same battalion of guards plus three thousand recruits were stationed in these places.

Guo Songlin couldn't jump away, first shelled in the offensive mode, there is no need for him to be a fool with artillery, Li Hongzhang sent over the only 80 new cannons in the south and fully supported him in attacking Shanghai.

Guo Songlin divided his troops into several ways to attack in an all-out way, and used all his troops at one time, starting the momentum of Mount Tai to the top, leaving no back at all, he knew that as long as the cavalry of the New People's Army was consumed in one go, Yang Dong would not be able to stay in Shanghai.

He didn't know that Yang Dongfang still had a guard regiment of 1,000 people in Shanghai, and the same intelligence as the French army only knew that Yang Dongfang led the cavalry south to Shanghai.

As a result, his attacks in the three towns were blocked by firepower, and many people were killed and wounded, and they also encountered the same situation as the French army, but they were a little better than the French army, first, he had more troops, and the Huai army could fight close combat than the French army, dare to die and dare to rush, and his life was not as noble as the French army.

Second, the distance and depth on this side are long, urging Chenghao to retreat three lines of defense one after another with the guard battalion, take turns to train recruits, and give up the three towns.

After dragging on until midnight, the Huai army stopped attacking, and the Xinmin army was guarding Jiangqiao Town and Wusong River, still holding the waterway blocking into Shanghai County. Basically, it still controls the boundaries of Shanghai County.

Wu Changqing did not have the warships of the French army, and there was no new artillery, and the number of troops was small and could only wander around Hongqiao and Caohejing to make a feint.

There are few rivers north of Caohejing, and the terrain is flat and suitable for cavalry to patrol back and forth, and Feng Dazhao has a battalion of cavalry, plus a thousand recruits, to defend it steadily.

"Old man Feng, how about it, after watching it for a day, guess how many French devils died."

During the day, Yang Dongfang deliberately took Feng Zicai to the front line, and let him see how the New People's Army fought the French army.

In the past five days, his feelings were too great, the New People's Army attacked Shanghai with thousands of cavalry, and even really won the concession between the two countries, plus a Shanghai county, not to mention that Yang Dongfang had such a big wrist strength, and in the way of scattering silver, he gathered 6,000 troops in two days, and many of them were the same as the original Huai army.

Caused turmoil in Wu Changyou's department, so as to quickly expand to the periphery.

To say that the fastest change in mood is in the past two days, one after another to defeat the French army, forcing the French superior warships to be unable to act, although the means are a little shameless, but it should also be revealed.

After all, what you need to fight a war is unscrupulous, and taking advantage of the situation is not too out of line and will damage your reputation.

He was also very excited about the fact that foreigners were rampant in China, and few Chinese were really willing, and he was also very excited to see the French army eating and suffering many casualties.

As a person who still has feelings for the country, he couldn't help but spit out: "Yang Dashuai's people are indeed brave, not comparable to ordinary people, I don't know if Yang Dashuai can give me a gun, the old man will be a pawn for the time being, and the old man will not be ambiguous when he kills the French, rest assured that I will not take the opportunity to escape, I Feng Zicai is not that kind of villain." ”

"Good! Yes, I believe that you Feng Zicai is a bloody man, doing something and not doing something. Yang Dongfang personally helped him find a good gun, held it with both hands and handed it over, "However, before giving you the gun, can you tell me what you think of the French army." ”

"It's really a good gun, if our army can have such a good weapon, why would it be like this." Obviously, the old man was still a little unconvinced, and he was still a little unconvinced, and he used Yang Dongfang's sneak attack behind his back to defeat the prisoner with a high-quality firearm, and he sighed with emotion when he touched the shiny Enfield breech gun, and said very straightforwardly:

"Master Yang's retreat like this is not a long-term solution, I know that there are still a few small lines of defense behind Yang Dashuai, but if this continues, it will eventually be pressed to the corner, and it will inevitably be defeated in the end, and the most important thing is that the Huangpu River will still be an important place for the French army to attack, and it is also the key to all the battles, I think sooner or later the red hair will think of a strategy to solve the problem of the marshal to raze and fear. Dashuai may wish to pay more attention to Pudong. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Pudong is indeed very important. ”

After such a reminder, Yang Dongfang's mind came up with a topographic map, the surface of the Huangpu River is about 300 to 700 meters, which means that it can be very good from Pudong to the concession.

Yang Dongfang said with a smile: "Old man, what are you following Xiang Han, how about naturalizing our New People's Army, what kind of official are you, I will give you a promotion, and I will fight French red-haired ghosts in the future." ”

Feng Zicai didn't enter, and his face stiffened back: "The handsome's kindness is understood, I will not be a minister in the same dynasty as a thief." ”

The old man is not chatting well again, right, Yang Dongfang can see that there are countless eyes around him slashing at Feng Zicai, this is too hurtful.

Even Yang Dongfang's face was a little sneering, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't know that Feng Zicai had been kidnapped by the Heaven and Earth Society when he was young, and since then he has killed the Heaven and Earth Society, so he joined the Qing army and killed the forces of the Heaven and Earth Society.

After dawn the next day, the French army continued to attack, and the shells were still very rich, and they bombarded again, but according to the experience of the morning, Yang Dongfang withdrew all the people to Liangcheng last night, leaving only one platoon on the front line, disguised as a large army.

The platoon was withdrawn only after the French bombing.

“****！ This Yang Dongfang is playing this trick again. ”

Although he captured the position of the New People's Army again, Li Weili did not like this method of fighting very much, and the shells smashed so much, but he did not kill many New People's Army, and only received one broken defensive position.

Isn't this a waste of shells?

But he had no choice but to continue to advance, he wanted to see how much defense Yang Dongfang still had.

At noon, the New People's Army withdrew from Liangcheng and retreated to the line of Hongkou in Quyang in the evening, and the day passed.

And urged Chenghao to withdraw from Jiangqiao Town according to the plan, and retreated twenty miles in a row, and even Feng Dazhao in the Caohejing area retreated ten miles north, and Yang Dongfang further retracted his forces.

I hope to lick my head to the Huai army and the French army, so that they will not think of running Pudong to attack the concession early. (To be continued.) )
