Yang Sisi basically agreed with the judgment of the scout according to the situation, and immediately asked people to pull the team behind this hill, at this time it was already dusk, if you don't attack now, night combat is also an optional way, but now there are some guards who are not suitable for all armed firearms, after all, shooting at night is almost equivalent to blind fighting

Thinking of this, he immediately issued a battle order, each captain was called to assign tasks, Yang Sisi asked the reconnaissance team leader Gao Tian to introduce the terrain of the ferry first, the entire ferry village is not big, there are a total of 30 households, the village has a total of two exits, a road on the left to protect **, and the exit on the right leads to the river embankment.

The wharf was 300 metres in front of the village, and there were seven or eight ferries, and the French reconnaissance posts that had been observed were placed in a small grove of trees next to the junction on the left, and on the mounds on both sides of the path on the right, and the other observation posts were not found.

The village is surrounded by flat farmland, Takada introduced the surrounding terrain, the only thing that can be relied on is a ditch in the west, which should be a local irrigation canal that diverts water from the Lujiang River, where the slope is more than two meters high, and there is water in the ditch, but you can force the left entrance from the ditch, if you can successfully do the guard, you can delay the movement of the French in the village

Yang Zhisi also observed that the distance from the ditch to the entrance of the village was about 200 meters, and it was enough to launch a charge to overwhelm the entrance of the village, and when the time came, with the advantage of numbers, it was no longer a matter of winning the battle, without further ado, he immediately gave an order, "The second and third brigades launched an attack on the left flank, the fifth brigade attacked the right flank to contain them, and I personally led the first and fourth brigades to follow up as reserves."

After receiving the order, the officers of each battalion were very excited, the recent battle took more than a year, and now this soldier is much more powerful than before, but in the same way, this soldier is not easy to be, and he has practiced so fiercely every day, but there is no merit in just practicing, and today I finally have the opportunity to fight out some fame with real swords and guns

As soon as Li Daring, the captain of the third team, heard that he was playing as a striker, his face immediately burst into laughter, and he immediately said, "Mr. Qian, let's still have that slogan, use me in the first battle, and use me to win, you can rest assured."

Hu Dan, the captain of the second team, saw that this could not fall into the momentum of his team, and immediately followed: "Mr. Qian, don't worry, our old Hu will eat these Frenchmen, and we will get them in half an hour."

The two of them ordered the men and horses to go out with great dignity, and the captain of the fifth team also followed closely to go out to arrange, Yang Sisi took the men and horses far away into the small ditch, and ran in it for more than ten minutes, before the teams arrived at the position, under an order, Li Daring and Hu Dan took the lead in rushing out, and Yang Sisi had already arranged the shooters, two point shots, and knocked down the two French soldiers who were leaning on the shade on the small tree in the distance

At the same time, the soldiers of the fifth team also rushed to the right side of the path, and four French sentry appeared on the opposite side, and began to counterattack them, but they were immediately completely suppressed by more than 100 rifles, and after dropping two corpses, they rushed into the village

Li Daring was the first to rush into the entrance of the village, and the others were three or five meters away from him, and when they entered the entrance of the village, no one came to stop them, but fortunately, there were too few in this village, and he saw at a glance that the two French soldiers on the right wing on the opposite side had fled back, and they were screaming at each other, and they hit one by standing still.

When they were about to charge, the soldiers who rushed out in front of them had just arrived in the open field in the middle, when they heard the sound of a platoon of gunfire, and they knocked down two of them, and the other three or four hurriedly lay on the ground to return fire......

The soldiers and horses of the Liu Yongfu Department of the Fifth Association were old in fighting with the French, and when they saw the French platoon guns, they were all besieged from all sides, and there were few firearms at that time, and the power was not as good as the French, after all, the aiming time of the platoon guns was very short, and they were all straight and flat, which may not be accurate

But now their guns were even superior to the French rifles, and during training, this tactic had long since changed, and it was more important to rely on cover to shoot and fire ammunition to crush the enemy.

"Surround them", Li Daring shouted loudly and the first one jumped back, rolled behind a wall not far away, and the platoon of guns hit the back of a pile of dust, and the team of two hundred people, immediately divided into a team of 10 people, occupied several rooms, and launched an attack on a group of French soldiers on the side of the village's drying field.

On one side of the threshing floor was crowded with a large number of Vietnamese natives, and in the middle of a broken wall, a phalanx of French soldiers was lining up with rifles, but there was no suitable target.

Seeing that these Chinese did not launch a desperate charge at all, but occupied some firing points that could be used, the French second lieutenant Lang Li immediately felt the danger, they did not expect that the army they suddenly encountered was also an all-firearm infantry, and the Vietnamese indigenous troops who had occupied Tuyen Quang and the surrounding cities before had at most one or two bird guns along the way......

In the few seconds he hesitated, the troops who occupied the firing position burst into thunderous gunfire in an instant, countless bullets rushed in his face, and the French soldiers standing around him immediately fell one by one, only one of the soldiers in the two rows in front was still standing, and the others were completely knocked down

This storm of bullets woke up Ensign Lang Li, he had already understood that the defeat was decided, although he was somewhat confused by the opponent's style of play, this rifle is played like this, but no matter how the other party played, now his own side fell nearly half in a round of shooting, this battle could not be fought at all, thinking of this, he immediately ordered to retreat

Now the French soldiers obviously figured out the situation, and one by one they were ready to withdraw to the dock under the cover of the low wall, and if they got on the boat, there was still a great hope of escaping back to the other side

Seeing that the confrontation on the firearms had been completely suppressed, the French wanted to run after two rounds of guns, and Li Daring immediately jumped up, "Brothers, rush up, don't let the French run"

The shouts of killing in all directions suddenly started, and several French soldiers tried to resist with the help of cover such as broken walls, but although their Shashpu-style firing pin rear loading guns used fixed ammunition, they also needed to open the magazine to reload after shooting, and after knocking down several guards, they were immediately shot dead by the soldiers who ran closer, and the plan to try to escape to the dock was also intercepted by the fifth team of soldiers who appeared from the side.

The French, who were pinned down behind a wall, were utterly desperate, and it was clear that the fire of the army outside was even more fierce than theirs, and it seemed that there were more than ten times more outnumbered of them, and soon the second lieutenant Langli made a decision that it was better to surrender and save his life than to die, and he immediately threw his weapon out of the corner......

Li Daring, who was pulling out a grenade from his backpack and preparing to test the power, put the grenade into the cloth bag again very depressed, and carefully tied the rope, this is an advanced weapon that only the officers of the Five Associations are equipped with, but I didn't expect it to come in handy, and the French pig who was afraid of death was dropped

The soldiers escorted the remaining seven or eight captives, and the Vietnamese natives in the village all ran up frantically and attacked them with all kinds of weapons in their hands, such as brooms, climbing plows, and dung forks.

"Look at ...... Look...... What the hell is this?" Yang Sisi pointed to the French prisoner who poured stinky water in a while

Li Daring was bold and brainless, and replied with a grin: "Mr. Qian, aren't these harmful spirits, let the natives show them the color......

Before he finished speaking, he gave Yang Sisi a brain jump, "It's you, Li Daring, go buy a few sets of clothes from the people, let them change into them, search carefully, do they have any important information on them?"

Li Daring looked depressed, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but immediately gave Yang Sisi a look and glared back, "What do you see, Li Daring, it's you who are talking about...... Don't go yet."

“……”

Soon several French prisoners were shouted to a courtyard for questioning, Li Daring also found a sketch from the dead man, and the interrogation of the French prisoners was also carried out well, Li Daring unscrupulously hacked to death a few wounded French soldiers in front of the French, and the bones of several prisoners immediately could not be hardened, and honestly explained what they knew.

They are subordinate to the second battalion of the third regiment of the seventh brigade of the French expeditionary force, the seventh brigade has a total of 6,000 people, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, managers, health and other arms, the brigade commander is Major General Pergen, they conquered Hue 9 days ago under the command of Colonel Bi Shuo, and received an order the day before yesterday to let them cross the Lujiang River to reconnoitre, waiting for the opportunity to collect the ferry!

Yang Sisi was also stunned when he heard the complex arms of the French ** team, but the class called "manager" really made him scratch his head, and after careful questioning, he understood that this was the establishment of the French colonial army, and the huge profits obtained by the colonial army were handled by these people who had the right to operate, and they were generally designated by the French consortium that supported the development.

After listening, he couldn't help but curse a few words of French pigs, these robbers with civilized masks have developed the means of being robbers to the extreme,

According to the interrogation techniques learned in the guard, after interrogating several prisoners separately, the reliability of the news was confirmed, and he immediately sent someone to escort these prisoners to the rear, and at the same time recorded the news and passed it back together, now the primary purpose is to stick to this crossing, since the French outpost has come, it proves that the French crossing the river is an inevitable result

The natives in the ferry village are all requisitioned for the construction of fortifications, of course, between the protection of military discipline, these indigenous laborers will be rewarded with a military ticket signed by Yang Zhusi, they can take the military ticket to the logistics of the protection of the logistics to pay wages or food for a while, on the hill behind the village of Lujiang Wharf, in the open space around the village, seven or eight hundred people with tools to dig trenches in all directions

In the evening, the soldiers continued to dig trenches with torches, and the natives were frightened during the day, but today the French killed two uncooperative fishermen in the village, which made them pin their hopes on the late army, and they were busy all night, and in the second half of the night several trenches along the bank of the river appeared on the shore, running through the whole village, and at the same time enclosing the wharf.

The defense of the entire position is divided into three lines, separated by 300 meters before and after, each line of defense can effectively hold the official road leading to Yong'an, of course, as the first line of defense on the riverbank, Yang Zhisi is a death order, must be fully defended, when assigning tasks, each brigade is rushing to this line of tasks.

As a result, Li Daring and Hu Dan failed to rob the fourth and fifth teams because they had already played a striker, and the two began to fight around Yang Zhisi, they are both old brothers of the Black Flag Army, so there are not many rules in this regard......

Two hundred men were laid out in the trenches in front of them, which was just enough to control the wharf, and the Vietnamese on the wharf had already received the notice to carry their valuable gadgets and food on the fishing boats and leave first, and before dawn, except for the officers and soldiers on the sentry, everyone else hurried to eat some dry food, and the cats rested in the trenches for a while, and the whole river bank was silent for a while

As soon as the day dawned, Wang Dali, a small soldier in the fourth team and three groups of the left battalion in the trenches, was holding a piece of dry food and nibbling on a piece of hot tea, and looked up at the river in the distance from time to time, at this time the sun had come out, shining on the river surface sparkling, extremely dazzling, he patted He Ergou next to him, "Dog, do you see if the French dare to come?"

Wang Dali and Gouzi are both recruits of the Black Flag Army, the old men of his two families are veterans of the Black Flag Army, and they were disabled in the early battles, and they continued to do the Black Flag Army on their father's business Wang Dali is two years older, so he joined the army early, and fought in Shanxi and France last year, so he was very calm.

"Brother Wang, how do I know if the French will come," the second dog muttered as he muttered as he muttered on the cake and drank the boiling water that the sentry chief had brought him.

"Ergouzi, the French soldiers are all tall and big, you are small-looking, are you afraid" Wang Dali squinted at Ergouzi's arched body, and said with a laugh.

Hearing Wang vigorously question his courage, Ergouzi was obviously angry, he stood up and waved the cake in his hand, "Brother Wang, I'm not afraid of ......"

The sentry chief next to the "second dog" only spoke at this time, "What are you yelling about, are you afraid?" When I go back and meet the French, I will know that I will eat well and nourish my spirits, and I will not have a punctual time to eat when I really fight."

"Yes" Ergouzi looked at Wang Dali unconvinced, and raised the cake demonstratively

At this time, a soldier came from the other side of the trench with his waist bent, and it was Yang Sisi's own soldiers, who shouted softly as they walked, "Attention, the boat is coming from the north."

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the position became tense, and all the sentry commanders and team leaders began to mobilize and inspect before the war, and the sentry commander ran over quickly with an AK02 rifle, and gave an order all the way, "Brothers, don't show your head, check first, whether the bullets are in a good position, listen to my orders to aim, and take out the usual training level."

Wang Dali and He Ergou looked at the AK02 rifle in the sentry commander's hand greedily, they had already heard that this was a weapon produced by the Mawei Artillery Bureau, which was much more powerful than the Lin Mington needle gun in their hands, and they didn't know when they would be able to get this kind of good weapon that officers and excellent soldiers were qualified to use. ,

Smash it, smash it, smash it, the two gave up the plan to continue dreaming, showing half of their heads to observe the situation in the upper reaches of the Lujiang River, but there was no movement at this time, and after a while, they began to hear the sound of boats rowing in the distance, and soon, more than a dozen wooden boats appeared on the other side of the river, but they did not come directly over.

Yang Sisi was lying on the small hill at this time, wearing camouflage to observe the situation on the other side, after seeing the French boats, he was happy in his heart, the situation that he was worried about did not appear, this time the French were requisitioned ordinary inland river wooden boats, these dozen or so are fast 30 meters of large wooden boats, but they are certainly not the common French steamships in the past.

It seems that the artillery batteries in Shanxi downstream should have played a role, and the French steamboat fleet did not dare to go upstream, since the other party did not have small steam gunboats, then their own grasp of defending the dock was a little greater, but what made him strange was that the French wooden fleet stopped moving after approaching the opposite shore, as if waiting for this......

Could it be that the French still have follow-up gunboats? Yang thought about it and felt that it was impossible, the important Shanxi Fort was there, and his confidence in that fort was definitely based on strength

However, he soon knew the result, and in less than half an hour, the dust rose in the distance on the opposite bank of the river, and they were all good at fighting old battles, so they naturally understood that this was a situation that would only occur when a large number of troops were transferred, and it seemed that the French were serious, and the prisoners in front said that there was a brigade, which was 6,000 people......

Soon the first group of French ** appeared on the opposite pier, but they immediately retreated, and after a while, several officers appeared on the shore with a team of at least five hundred men, and then boarded the logs one by one, and some soldiers carried all kinds of heavy weapons on board

When Yang Zhisi saw the situation on the opposite pier, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he could basically distinguish the movements of the soldiers on the opposite side through the telescope, fifteen big ships, the French soldiers were divided into more than a dozen groups one by one, and quickly boarded the boat, only ten minutes before and after, it was obvious that this was a well-trained army.

The opponent's fleet obviously found out about the deployment of the dock here, so they waited for the arrival of the large army on the shore, and the first wave of French troops participating in the attack this time may exceed 1,000 people, so he immediately called several captains of the reserve team, and the second team Li Daring and the third team Hu Dan were all ready to support the frontline position as soon as possible.

Soon, the opponent's fleet began to slowly leave the dock and slowly drive towards the opposite bank, and on the embankment on the opposite bank, seven or eight cannons suddenly appeared.
