Chapter 342: The Battle of the Guards (1)
Surrendering to others, and stealing a living, these can be understood, after all, not many people can put life and death out of the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the sword went sideways, but he grabbed his boss and used it as a capital to surrender, this kind of thing is often despised by people and is the most taboo. What's more, Guo Po's death has a certain relationship with the betrayal of his subordinates, and the relationship between Guo Po and Zhuge Mou is so good, it is not surprising that there is such a reaction.
After thinking through everything and figuring out the key crux of it, Qi Zhiyuan did not agree to Zhuge Mou's request, but said earnestly: "Mr. Zhuge , I can understand your mood and agree to do so." However, you can't kill those six people yet, and you can't. Otherwise, it will be very unfavorable for our future actions, and the killing of prisoners is unknown. ”
"After all, we also want to exterminate the other three major pirate forces, and recruit their personnel for our own use, as a source of strength for our thunderous growth."
Zhuge Mou's impulse was only temporary, and in the face of Qi Zhiyuan's earnest words and sincere words, it was impossible to refute it. Although his thinking returned to rationality, Zhuge Mou's face still showed a look of disappointment. However, Qi Zhiyuan's next words made Zhuge Mou's spirits lift, and he was a little excited.
"Although the six of them cannot be killed, I am ready to appoint them to your subordinates and obey the orders and drives of your Zhuge staff. If they dare to disobey orders and disobey them, they will not be able to do their job, and they will be punished by military law, so what if they are killed? Beyond reproach~"
Zhuge Mou is not stupid, how could he not hear Qi Zhiyuan's voice? How can you not understand the implication?
But with Qi Zhiyuan's acquiescence and arrangement, Zhuge Mou no longer stayed, but stood up straight like other thunder soldiers, and then it was a standard military salute, expressing that gratitude and respect, and shouting from the heart: "Then, regiment commander, I'll go down first!" ”
When the moon sets and the sun rises, the Hong Kong island is full of wolf smoke, and it is full of devastation, especially in the eastern region, because of Zhuge Mou's order to ignite the dead grass and burn the hidden enemy, so that the land is bare, the ashes dance with the wind, floating in the air, the charred corpses are scattered everywhere, the death is very miserable, and the face is hideous and distorted.
Fortunately, because the lair of the Yellow Flag Gang was located in the central area, a clearing was cleared around it, blocking the spread of the fire and not affecting the western region.
Some thunderous soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, driving the surrenderers to collect the bodies and bury them in the large pits that had been prepared long ago. There were also squads of men patrolling, roaming around, all heavily armed, with guns in both hands and fingers on triggers.
In the middle of the stockade, in the hall, there is a large table in the center, which is composed of four tables, and the various military personnel are constantly moving around, staying everywhere, talking quietly, summarizing all the information, discussing the situation, a busy scene, there is a tense atmosphere permeating the hall, everyone is cautious.
On the wall at the very front of the hall hangs a huge map of the islands in the sea, and some tables, chairs, and chairs have long since been moved to other places to make way for this map.
At this time, Qi Zhiyuan, Shi Mingzhi and Zhuge Mou were standing in front of this map, and Qi Zhiyuan, who was in the center, took a feather duster, pointed to Hong Kong Island on the map, and said loudly: "Two, please see, according to the situation reported by our people, from time to time there are suspicious ships cruising in the southwest, west, and northwest directions, carrying out close reconnaissance, trying to find out the situation on Hong Kong Island. ”
"Due to the decisive attack of the coastal batteries, the shelling of approaching ships made them dare not approach and could only linger two miles away. However, with the telescope's visual range, they can still see what is happening on the island. ”
"Judging from the current situation, as well as the information we have, the forces that can send ships to reconnoiter now are none other than the Red Flag Gang and the Blue Flag Gang, only they are the closest and can quickly discover the changes on Hong Kong Island, last night's battle."
"In particular, the Blue Flag gang on the Kowloon Peninsula is on the western side of Hong Kong Island, just across the Victoria Harbour in the middle. If you send a warship to attack, it will be the fastest and most advantageous, and you will have a certain advantage. ”
Listening to Qi Zhiyuan's narration, Shi Mingzhi showed a thoughtful look, and secretly analyzed the situation of the enemy and me in his heart, Lei Ting's current situation, but Zhuge Mou took over the conversation and said worriedly: "Moreover, when I was a military advisor in the Black Flag Gang, I was well versed in the situation of these pirates. Although the strength of these forces is different, their weapons and equipment are almost the same, and they are either purchased from foreigners or looted from foreign merchant ships. ”
seemed to feel something, remembering some things in the past, Shi Mingzhi also said: "Yes, in terms of firearms, these pirates are far stronger than the Guangzhou sailors. The artillery, in particular, has a range of two miles. If the pirate's warship cruises on the sea, it can completely fire at the batteries along the coast by virtue of the advantage of maneuverability, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the batteries. ”
Shi Mingzhi's purely military views were immediately recognized by the other two, and they thought deeply about it, and at the same time fell into deep thought. All three understood that once the coastal batteries were destroyed, the pirates would be able to send a large number of small and medium-sized ships for landing operations. The narrowness of Victoria Harbour simply cannot accommodate a large number of warships for naval battles.
After a short silence, Qi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, as if he had some kind of attention, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said: "Two, I've done it again, the cannons that the marshal has equipped us with are all of the latest type, with a range of 1,500 meters!" ”
Although they didn't finish speaking, Shi Mingzhi and Zhuge Mou were both smart people, and they were well versed in the way of marching soldiers, and they immediately realized what Qi Zhiyuan's method meant, and they all echoed: "Regiment commander, you are worthy of being the supreme commander, the marshal appointed you as the commander of the thunder, with such wit and such reaction speed, you deserve it!" ”
"Hey, the two of you praised it, the reason why I thought of this method is that I have used the new cannon more times, and I am more familiar with it, and I can't talk about the word witty." Although Qi Zhiyuan was modest, the smile on his face could not hide the sense of usefulness in his heart.
Just for a moment of pride, Qi Zhiyuan immediately packed up his emotions, gathered his mind, his face returned to calm, and said calmly: "While the enemy is still in the reconnaissance stage and has not yet figured out the situation on the island, since the two of you have guessed my intentions, hurry up and arrange it, there is not much time left for us, at the latest tomorrow morning, one of the Red Flag Gang and the Blue Flag Gang will definitely take action to attack us." ”
"After all, we haven't fully gained a foothold, and the situation on the island can't be kept secret for long, Hong Kong Island is so big, and there were some remnants who escaped last night."
"Okay, let's go and set it up, try to get it done before dark, once tomorrow's battle starts, try to make them have no return, at least they have to end up with heavy casualties!"
Zhuge Mou and Shi Mingzhi said in unison, deeply agreeing with Qi Zhiyuan's worries, and then left quickly, each dividing his labor.
With the departure of the two, everyone on Hong Kong Island was busy, including those who surrendered. The burial of corpses was stopped, patrols were stopped, and the soldiers and warships were in action, busier than before. Although busy, it is not chaotic, everything is carried out in an orderly manner and arranged in an orderly manner. (To be continued.) )
