Chapter 155: Attack on the capital

Under the cover of the powerful fire of 10 helicopters, the Pingshan Army quickly occupied the entire Jincheng of Tianjin. In the coalition forces, the French occupied the northwest zone, the British army occupied the southwest zone, the American army occupied the northeast zone, and the Japanese army occupied the southeast zone. Outside the north gate, it is occupied by Russian and Japanese troops...

"General, call General, I'm Xiong Qing, guess what I copied, haha, a lot of silver. However, the Japanese were a little resistant to fighting, and it took a lot of rockets from the air force to kill them. ”

In the southeast area, I saw a Pingshan army leader, holding a walkie-talkie, his eyes shining at a pile of boxes, shouting excitedly, there were a lot of silver and gold ornaments in the boxes that were scattered.

"Xiong Qing, I'm so happy, what's going on, where are you, I'll come over right away." Hu Lin was hovering above the Dutong Yamen, watching the battle progress, and he didn't expect to receive Xiong Qing's call.

"It's in the southeast of Jincheng, haha, it's sent, come on, ...

After Xiong Qing reported the location, he ordered the soldiers to take an inventory, and after a while, Hu Lin's helicopter came over and saw a barracks in the bombed sky, full of boxes and scattered with various luminous objects.

As soon as he looked at it, Hu Lin knew that these were silver and other belongings, and looked like a hill, piled up several barracks. The wall was blown open by Team Rocket, but you can vaguely see the full of belongings inside.

These silver and gold objects and other possessions have not been collected in the city of Tianjin. Along the way, looking at the ruined appearance of the city, Hu Lin was almost numb, now remember first, there will be these people in the future.

I deliberately checked the situation in Tianjin at that time in the Pingshan computer room. The coalition forces burned and looted for several days. The Japanese army snatched 2 million taels of silver from the salt transportation embassy, and the US army excavated millions of taels of silver from the ground. It can be stacked into a silver mountain 30 feet high and 30 feet wide.

The art treasures in the Haiphong Office and the hundreds of tons of silver stored in the market factory were all looted by the Russian army, and the silver worth 400,000 US dollars in the foundry was completely looted by the US military. The Russian army seized more than 300 artillery pieces and a large amount of ammunition from the powder magazine, the eastern bureau, the camp, etc.

The U.S. military seized 40 Krupp guns and new Ludenfort guns from the South Gate Armory. and a considerable number of small arms, artillery shells of various calibers. The Japanese army looted more than 800 guns of various kinds, 8 artillery pieces, and a large amount of ammunition from the naval battalion and the customs road yamen, and looted even to the most crazy level, and even the coffins containing the dead were dug up and smashed by the coalition forces. Look for gold and silver jewelry from it.

No matter how angry you are, you haven't gained a firm foothold in the Qing Dynasty for the time being, and after you gain a firm foothold, all of these people will take revenge, Hu Lin is not a benevolent person.

Subsequently. The Northwest District, Southwest District, and Tohoku District of Jincheng have all received various seizure reports. Now, these belongings belong to the Pingshan Army, and it can also be said that Hu Lin's own, and the coalition army has taken advantage of Hu Lin's cheapness.

In addition, most of the coalition forces were captured, and there were more than 1,000 people, and the specific statistics were only available after they were cleared.

"These foreign soldiers are still afraid of death." Hu Lin sighed. The whites just can't beat it, and under the absolute superiority of strength, they will basically surrender, which is their centuries-old tradition.

It's just that I saw the southeast position of the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers didn't see much, and most of them became dead and wounded. These Japanese soldiers looked miserable, and everyone knew that Hu Lin hated the Japanese army. The attack must have been much heavier, and the casualties of the Hirayama Army seemed to be higher than in other areas.

"Xiong Qing. What about your casualties in the southeast? Thinking that the Japanese were not afraid of death in battle, Hu Lin asked Xiong Qing about the casualties on Xiong Qing's side with some concern.

"It's more resistant. But basically the helicopter is hitting them, and there are more than 30 casualties among the soldiers, which are not serious, we all have body armor, and the casualties are not serious. ”

Xiong Qing's relatively calm tone, I could feel that the casualties of the soldiers did not exceed expectations, with the cooperation of helicopters, the ground troops were basically the finishing touches, plus the body armor alloy steel helmet that Hu Lin got from modern times, the individual protection force was strong enough, and it was not the Japanese army who could cause many more casualties.

"That's good, don't worry about these for now, take people to the Dutong Yamen to surrender the commander here, leave some people to guard, and the others will go to the capital, leaving you two helicopters to cooperate, it's time to go to the capital."

When Hu Lin heard Xiong Qing's report, he breathed a sigh of relief, the Pingshan Army had few people and could not withstand the heavy losses of too many personnel. Follow-up actions were then arranged.

"Okay, General, let's go!" After Xiong Qing agreed, he began to execute the order.

After talking to Xiong Qing, Hu Lin turned the nose of the plane around and inspected the situation in the city. Everything is under control, and Tianjin is in its own hands.

A few hours have passed, and the U.S. troops who were the first to break through the capital may have already reached the top of the city. Starting in the afternoon, the coalition countries will also break through the gates of their respective attacks, and now it's almost time to catch up.

"Air Force, please note that the 009 and 010 helicopters will stay behind to cooperate with Division Commander Xiong to garrison Tianjin, assist in the defense of Tanggukou and other surrounding areas, and the others will fill up the fuel in turn and go to the capital immediately."

"Received on the 001st, received on the ・・・・・ on the the second"

Subsequently, the other helicopters no longer stared at the battle situation in the city, and successively landed next to the oil pipeline trucks outside the city, refueling in turn, and other helicopters were on alert in the sky.

The newly arrived helicopters No. 009 and No. 010 have already passed through the provincial strongholds from Pingshan, and have transferred a lot of aviation fuel to the remote mountain strongholds outside Tianjin, as well as some ammunition and supplies.

In addition to the ammunition and aviation fuel carried by the Pingshan Navy, plus the materials airlifted from Pingshan, it was enough for the Pingshan Air Force to consume in the Battle of Beijing.

After taking Tianjin, the amount of coal stored here could come in handy, and Hu Lin asked Xiong Qing to hurry up and transport the coal to Tanggukou for backup for the six warships that captured the coalition forces.

After the air force stabilized the capital and cooperated with the army to control the situation in the capital, it was necessary to hurry to pick up the 35,000 people of Wang Daniu's comprehensive second division.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops around the capital, and Hu Lin doesn't dare to completely control the surrounding area with only this Xiong Qing's leadership, and the elite first division of 15,000 people.

In the capital alone, there was a Qing army that was not easy to ignore. After the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Cixi listened to the suggestion of Ronglu, the secretary of the military department, to strengthen the defense of Gyeonggi, and appointed Ronglu to organize about 60,000 people in the five armies of Wuwei, Left, Center, Front, Rear, and Center.

These 60,000 people include 13,000 Wu Yi troops trained by Nie Shicheng, about 13,000 Gan troops trained by Dong Fuxiang, about 13,000 Yi troops trained by Song Qing, more than 10,000 new army troops trained by Yuan Shikai, and more than 10,000 Nanyuan garrisons under the personal command of Rong Lu.

The artillery equipped by the armed guards is divided into infantry field artillery (also known as camp artillery), artillery field artillery, field heavy artillery, mountain artillery, etc., according to their combat use, basically forming a complete firearms equipment system of the army.

Although the coalition army only used more than 20,000 people to fight the surrounding area of the capital, it was only because Cixi's mother-in-law ordered not to resist, and it was not entirely the responsibility of the incompetence of the Qing army.

If the Pingshan Army is replaced, the Qing Army may not be so afraid, and Cixi's girls will also be very skilled in raising the jade seal and issuing the holy decree of "exterminating" the Pingshan Army.

The helicopter's fuel and ammunition have been replenished, Hu Lin looked at the rampaging armored vehicles in Jincheng, and surging blood, if you can get some tanks, wouldn't it be cooler, don't open fire, just use the tank chain to press over, it's not something that the coalition forces can bear.

Leaving two helicopters to cooperate with Xiong Qing, Hu Lin rushed to the capital with eight helicopters. Along the way, when you see the stronghold of the coalition forces, you will easily knock it out, and the general-purpose machine gun will sweep by, and you will fight as much as you want.

Beijing, the headquarters of the coalition forces. "Report, emergency, General Seymour, Tianjin urgent, under attack by a large number of troops, there are flying objects that can fire shells, the firepower is very strong, ask for support."

The generals of all countries were all excited, and the telegram from Tianjin suddenly came, which made the joyful atmosphere drop to the bottom in an instant.

Seymour took the telegram, read it carefully several times, and circulated it to the generals. "Gentlemen, I'm afraid we've got an adversary."

Seymour, who was a little annoyed, leaned back in his chair and waited for the telegram to circulate, looking at each one with a bad face, which intensified Seymour's anger at the defensive mistakes in the rear.

"If the rear is lost, it will be very unfavorable to us, do we want to return to the reinforcement immediately." The first general of the British army, Lenavich, asked with some concern.

"Baga, what about our warships, why don't you cooperate with the defeat of these Qing Guo & army, are so many naval guns used to light cigarette butts?" Japanese commander Fukushima Yasumasa slapped the table and shouted, but in exchange for the ignorance and unkind eyes of a crowd, Fukushima Yasumasa you scolded everyone present.

"If we can't return the reinforcements, look at the form, we will soon open this ancient city wall, occupy the outer city first, and then deal with the Qing army according to the outer city. It will take a lot of time for the powerful Qing army to reach the capital, so we just need to speed up the attack・・・・・"

U.S. Army General Cha Fei was not affected by Fukushima Yasumasa's words, and used a more professional analysis to describe the current situation, which was nodded and approved by everyone.

"Indeed, if we return to help now, all the efforts of the previous attack will be in vain, and we will also expose our army to undefended open space, which will be very disadvantageous to our coalition forces." The German general Wadsey agreed with Chaffee's analysis and supported taking the capital first and then fighting back.

β€œγƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»β€

In the end, Seymour still gave the order to attack the outer city as quickly as possible at all costs. Cold sweat oozed from the foreheads of the coalition officers present.

I didn't expect the form to develop in a bad direction, and it was so fast, everyone knows the strength of the Qing army, but it is inevitable that there will be a good Qing army, such as Nie Shicheng and some resistance forces of the Boxers, which will cause a lot of casualties among the coalition forces.

As long as the capital is set to a point and then relied on the capital, these Qing countries & troops will be wiped out soon, and no one present will doubt it.

On the way from Tianjin to the capital, one coalition stronghold after another was uprooted, and the 150-kilometer journey, at the helicopter flight speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour, would not take much time, but it was only on the road to uproot the strongholds of the coalition army, and a lot of time was delayed.

More than an hour later, a slight rumbling sound sounded over the capital, and 8 small dots broke into the sky above the capital. And the people on both sides of the ground who were firing artillery and muskets, no one noticed that there was a third party, and they had already intervened. (To be continued.) )
