France, Tsarist Russia, Spain, Portugal, by the way, and Xiao Yueben, although Xiao Yueben's combat effectiveness is not good, but it is still okay to be cannon fodder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On second thought, many countries came into the eyes of the British, and these countries could send troops into the Manchu Qing as quickly as possible, without spending months transferring troops from Europe, and one family sent a part of the army, which was enough to exterminate the "short-haired thief".

At most, at that time, some benefits will be distributed to each family, the Manchu Qing is too big, and Britain itself cannot eat it, you must know that the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is 300 million or 400 million, which is ten times the population of Britain, and a little bit of a family is enough to eat, of course, Britain has to eat the largest piece.

It just so happened that the French came to the British to discuss sending troops to the Manchus, and the two countries discussed a time to march into the Manchus and help the Manchus exterminate the "short-haired thieves".

So the above incident happened, stationed in the Federation of Indochina, France. The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Celsey, ordered the French troops stationed on the border to send a force to test the "short-haired thieves" to see if they could gain benefits without going to war, although Lieutenant General Celsey believed in France. The army will definitely be able to exterminate the "short-haired thieves", but in the event of a war, there will inevitably be casualties, and for Lieutenant General Kirsi, it is best not to have casualties.

Who knows, Captain Isaac's company went to provoke the Han army, and the Han army would actually kill them, except for Captain Isaac, none of the remaining French soldiers ran away, this is still the result of Captain Isaac's three hiding behind to observe the situation and not acting with the soldiers, if Captain Isaac and the three are also in the team, I am afraid that none of the French soldiers will be able to run away and report the news.

Upon receiving this information, Lieutenant General Kirsi was furious and decided to give the "Short-Haired Thief" a little bit of a powerful look, and ordered Lieutenant Colonel Olivier to lead his regiment to attack the "Short-Haired Thief", or at least pull out the outpost.

Lieutenant General Kirsi thought to himself that if he could defeat the "short-haired thief" in this battle, he could force him to negotiate with his side, and his side could easily obtain various benefits (compensation), and if the short-haired thief did not give it, then he would continue to fight until the "short-haired thief" was subdued.

If the "short-haired thief" gives sufficient compensation, then he can stop for a while, wait until the time agreed with the British is up, and then launch an attack on the "short-haired thief", and then get a profit, which is definitely a good deal.

Lieutenant General Kirsi was already fantasizing about retiring with a lot of wealth and living happily ever after.

Lieutenant Colonel Olivier, who had received the order from the front, quickly notified his subordinates to assemble, and the entire regiment, numbering nearly 1,400 men, was quickly assembled, armed with a "single-to-one" rifle and six outdated small-caliber breech guns.

Of course, when the French attacked the Qing army in '83, such equipment was relatively advanced, at least more than enough to fight the Qing army.

After a night's rest, the next day Lieutenant Colonel Olivier set out with his regiment aimed at the Han outpost where a hundred or so French soldiers had been wiped out.

However, the actions of the French army were watched by Han scouts.

Because of the previous incident, the commander of the Han army battalion, who was temporarily stationed at the forward post, sent scouts deep into the enemy territory to probe for information.

Don't forget that the Vietnamese are also of the yellow race, and the scouts disguised themselves went behind enemy lines and then discovered the presence of the French. The army is massing this force of France. The army, naturally, was the unit of Lieutenant Colonel Olivier.

After the Han scouts got the information, they quickly sent people back, and the other scouts were still staring at this force of France. Army, watch its every move.

After receiving the information, the commander of the Han battalion stationed at the outpost quickly reported it. I'm afraid the army is coming to its position.

With a company of 120 in his hands now, as well as three heavy machine guns and three 60mm mortars, the battalion commander of the Han army had a certain degree of certainty to stop this force of more than 1,000 French. Army, but France. The number of troops is too large, more than ten times that of the Han army, and the Han army can block this French force. The army will also suffer heavy losses.

(Note: A standard infantry company of the Han Army is armed with two Heavy Machine Guns and two 60mm mortars)

The situation was critical, and Hu Wenbin, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Division, personally led the regiment's artillery company, guard company, and cavalry company to the front line outpost, and also transferred two infantry companies from other positions.

Not long after, the Han army post in front gathered a small half of the troops of the Second Brigade and the First Regiment of the Fourth Division, four infantry companies, an artillery company, and a cavalry company, totaling more than 670 people, and the enemy's number was more than twice the number of their own.

According to the latest intelligence, the enemy is indeed advancing in the direction of this outpost, which yesterday exterminated more than 100 French soldiers, and it seems that today the French have sent a large army to take revenge.

Regiment Commander Hu Wenbin quickly arranged the battle plan, and the artillery company built artillery positions and erected artillery, and the regimental artillery company had a total of eight 75-mm field guns.

Most of the infantry and cavalry were arranged to build defensive positions, and a small number of infantry planted mines 300 meters in front of the position.

The forward position of the Han army was preparing, and Sun Ran, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, was not idle, Sun Ran knew that if the French sent a regiment to retaliate and attack, they would definitely be defeated by the Han army, and then the war would not be so small.

The French garrisoned more than 20,000 troops in the Federation of French Indochina, while the Han army stationed only one main division and a 150-mm howitzer regiment in the border area of Yunnan, numbering less than 17,000 men.

Although the French army has an advantage in numbers, the Han army is stronger, but the Han army is defending the entire Yunan border area, and the part of the French Indochina Federation bordering Yunan is only a part of the Yunan border, and the Han army cannot concentrate its forces in this area, and the British may enter Burma at any time, and then attack Yunan from Burma, and the Han army must guard against this.

Sun Ran had to defend the enemy in both directions with a limited number of troops, and I was afraid that every time he fought, the Han army would face a situation where the enemy's strength was twice as large as his own, or even more.

But Sun Ran was convinced that the Han army would achieve the ultimate victory.

Take a look at the French consulate in the French Indochina Federation. The armament of the army, the "singles one" rifle, the old breech gun, which is more than a generation behind the weapons and equipment of the Han army, and the French. The army was still using the tactic of lining up to shoot, and under the strong firepower of the Han army, the French were bravely and fearlessly sent to death, and the death was worthless.

France. The army is so that of the British. The same is true for the army, their overseas garrisons have not yet had time to change their outfits on a large scale, which gives Sun Ran confidence in victory.
