PS: I've been out of Changchun these days.,I didn't come back until 9 o'clock this evening.,The chapters that were regularly released before were used up.,In order to ensure continuous changes.,The cruiser hurriedly wrote a chapter to release.,It's a bit hasty.,I hope you guys Haihan and help point out the shortcomings.
On the Shuiguan Wharf at the East Gate of Shanghai County, Admiral Perry, who was originally highly nervous, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the US Minister to China, McLene, who had returned happily. Knowing that Li Weiguo had relented, he not only handed over the commander of the Wusongkou shelling incident to the US Legation for handling, but would also personally go to the US Legation tomorrow to publicly apologize and compensate the United States for all its losses.
As the vigilance of the commanders decreased, the American soldiers who were already ready for battle also suddenly relaxed, and entered the American concession one after another to build a temporary military camp.
This was a violation, an open provocation to the authority of the Qing Empire in order to show the superiority of the American military.
In the evening, Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Gilhang'a, the governor of Jiangsu, who thought that they would have no worries about important matters, came to the American concession with the beef and mutton and wine obtained from the looting of the common people, rewarded the American soldiers, and made overtures to Mai Lian and Perry.
Compared with Li Weiguo, Yiliang and Gilhanga still respect Li Weiguo more, Mai Lian and Perry still respect Li Weiguo more, they believe in the truth that the strong are respected, and they respect Li Weiguo, the enemy who makes them deflated.
Although Merlene and Perry did not give Yiliang and Gilhanga a good look, they still accepted their reward and improved the food for the American soldiers.
Just when the US military was paralyzed and careless. Li Weiguo is secretly deploying troops, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Li family have been successfully aroused by Li Weiguo's anger and blood, and the real purpose of doing this is to wait for this moment to come. Wipe out the US Asian fleet in one fell swoop.
If you don't shoot, it's just a special move, and it won't give the enemy any ability to fight back.
This is Li Weiguo's style of doing things!
On the upper floor of the south gate of Shanghai County, Li Weiguo looked at the US military barracks in the US concession area opposite, and learned that Yiliang and Gil Hang'a had gone to reward the US officers and soldiers, and Li Weiguo was immediately happy.
"It turns out that Yiliang and Gilhanga, two old things, also have a cute side!"
Li Wei's Chinese language was a pun, and the soldiers around him suddenly understood. Laugh.
"My lord, when are we going to attack?" Some officers couldn't help but be eager to try.
Li Weiguo said with a smile: "This official originally planned to launch an attack before dawn tomorrow, because before dawn is the most physically sleepy time for people. It is conducive to launching surprise operations. However, the officer has changed his attention now, after the US military has drunk a lot of alcohol, it is around the early hours of the morning when they are most sleepy and sleepy. ”
There is a saying that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and Li Weiguo can judge the situation. Make the right decisions quickly. It can be seen that he used his troops skillfully, which made Wu Yong and others admire.
The order was soon issued, and the 20,000 Li troops began to quietly encircle the American concession after nightfall. The U.S. Legation, including McLene, Perry's U.S. Navy and Marines, and other Americans living in the U.S. Concession are all celebrating, shameful and ignorant of the approaching crisis.
How can the scheming of the old ancestors who hid the sword in their smile be something that the US military can understand and understand. They are fully convinced that they themselves have won. made Li Weiguo succumb, and there was no doubt that this was Li Weiguo's strategy.
Of course. This is due to Li Weiguo's brilliant acting skills and the ambition of the soldiers of the Li family, both of which are indispensable. The former was able to deceive and paralyze the Americans, making them let their guard down; The latter can stimulate the strongest fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and ensure that the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength to completely destroy the enemy and not give the enemy a chance to turn over.
Midnight soon came, and Li Weiguo immediately gave the order to attack.
In the dark, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Li family divided into two routes, and more than 15,000 people rushed into the American concession to attack the 3,000 US marines stationed here. On the other hand, more than 5,000 people, mainly naval forces, secretly sneaked to the anchorage of the US fleet and tried to capture the US warship, otherwise it would be blown up and sunk.
At this time, Perry was neither on the U.S. warship nor in the U.S. barracks, but in McLene's legation, and the two were studying how to humiliate Li Weiguo tomorrow and expand U.S. rights and interests in China at the same time.
The U.S. military lost Perry's command, and more than two-thirds of the more than 2,000 sailors on the original seven U.S. warships were not on the warships, but went to the U.S. concession to have fun, and most of the 3,000 U.S. Marine officers and men in the barracks, except for a small number who were in charge of guarding, were drunk and staggering.
"Up!"
In the dark, the officers and soldiers of the Li Jiajun were crawling and hiding in the dark, and the two scouts with daggers in their mouths quietly touched the temporary sentry of the US army like geckos.
Burst!
I saw that the scout on the left suddenly deliberately exposed his traces in front of the American sentry, and the American sentry was about to open his mouth to question, but at this moment, another Li Jiajun scout appeared behind the American sentry, he reached out with his left hand, covered the mouth and nose of the American sentry, so that he could not make a sound, and his right hand instantly pierced the left chest and lung cavity of the American sentry, and pierced the opponent's heart directly, causing him to die instantly, but he could not make any sound.
The whole process was swift and fast, and it was not muddy at all, which showed that the scouts of the Li Jiajun were clever, and it was not in vain that Li Weiguo spent painstaking efforts to train them.
At the same time, the U.S. military barracks were operating almost simultaneously in all directions, and the scouts of the Li Jiajun army had no trouble solving the outposts on the U.S. army's perimeter, making it impossible to give warnings.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the follow-up officers and soldiers of the Li family quickly came out of the shadows and launched a charge against the US military barracks Dazhai.
Although the current strength of the U.S. military ranks at the bottom of the great powers, it is much stronger than the Taiping Army, after all, this U.S. military is a veteran of the Mexican-American War and is very vigilant.
"Who are you? Hold it! ”
The scouts of the Li Jiajun cleaned up most of the American sentries, but they didn't expect Perry to be so careful to arrange a few secret sentinels, which are now working.
The whereabouts were exposed, so there was no need to go quietly, and the commander of the Li Jiajun at the front raised the revolver in his hand without hesitation. Two shots were fired in succession, killing the American sentry.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two gunshots in a row suddenly broke the silence under the night sky, indicating that the battle had officially begun.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The U.S. guards on the makeshift wall shouted when they heard the gunshots. A little panicked, but they were more veterans, and soon began to block counterattacks on a small scale, stalling for time to find their superiors and waiting for more American soldiers to wake up and join the fight.
"Call me!"
The officers and soldiers of the Li family quickly launched a fierce offensive, and rows of muskets shone brightly in the dark, and lead bullets fired mercilessly at the American soldiers on the opposite wall.
Because the officers and soldiers of the Li family are equipped with sunglasses that pull the wind. So even if the fire was fired in the dark, the light of the muzzle flame would not stab the soldier's eyes. On the other hand, the American soldiers on the wall, after they fired a shot. Immediately burned by the dazzling light of the muzzle flame, the slight one was blurred for a few seconds, and the severe one could not see the surrounding scenery for dozens of seconds.
And Li Jiajun has already killed the front, and the two sides are only seven or eight meters apart (the visibility at night is very poor). Don't say you can't see things clearly for tens of seconds. Even a few seconds of blindness can lead to huge losses.
What's more, the officers and soldiers of the Li family were in the dark, and the US garrison was standing in the open, and they suddenly became a live target under the guns of the officers and soldiers of the Li family.
The American defenders were immediately killed and wounded.
At the same time, the artillery units of the Li Jiajun also opened fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The cannon roared, and a solid cannon roared and fired at the American wall, quickly destroying the improvised wall, so that the officers and soldiers of the Li family could quickly kill through the gap.
More than 15,000 Li troops raided the camp of 3,000 U.S. Marines. The difference in force is five times, but the US military is defenseless. Most of them were drunk, but the number of soldiers in battle was only five or six hundred, which made the difference in strength between the two sides huge.
What's more, Li Jiajun adopted the tactics of surprise attack and quickly captured the US barracks with an overwhelming advantage, killing and wounding a large number of US soldiers, and the rest of the US soldiers were captured before they could wake up.
At the same time that Li Jiajun wiped out the 3,000 US Marine Corps with a thunderous force, the operation against the US Asian Fleet temporarily anchored on the river was also launched.
More than 5,000 officers and men of the Li Jiajun Navy and navy, with their excellent water skills, swam to the position of the US warship, used their iron claws as climbing tools, and quietly boarded the Saskana steam paddle frigate, the Mississippi steam paddle frigate, and the Paseik sail cruiser, which are the three largest and most advanced warships of the US Asian fleet.
According to Li Weiguo's intentions, it was best to capture these three battleships, so the officers and men of the Li family gave priority to launching hand-to-hand combat battles against these three US warships, and one by one the officers and men of the Li family climbed onto the battleship and fought with the remaining US sailors on the ship, and finally took the lead in capturing these three warships with an overwhelming number of people.
However, the other four U.S. warships were not so easy, and the U.S. troops on it reacted quickly, repelling the officers and men of the Li family who had just boarded the warship, and at the same time started the battleship, and the naval guns began to bombard the Li family's naval division warships that wanted to get closer.
In order to avoid causing huge losses to the newly-born Li Jiajun and naval forces, Li Weiguo ordered that there was no need to capture these four US warships, and that they should be directly scuttled or blown up.
With a loud "boom", the USS Columbia sail frigate was the first to be sunk.
With a loud explosion, a fiery red mushroom cloud rose into the air, and a huge hole was blown open on the port side of the Columbia frigate, and the sea water poured into it frantically, causing the frigate to quickly tilt and capsize.
Since most of the American sailors had gone ashore, the remaining American sailors could not exert the full power of the battleship, so the officers and men of the Li family could quickly approach the American warship and sink the remaining three frigates one by one.
The whole process lasted only half an hour, a few minutes faster than the attack on the barracks of the American Marine Corps. The Saskana Steam Paddle Frigate, the Mississippi Steam Paddle Frigate, the three largest and most advanced warships, were captured by the Li Jiajun, while the other sail frigates USS Saratoga, USS Plymouth, USS Tippercanu, and USS Columbia were sunk, announcing the total destruction of the U.S. Asian Fleet.
At the same time, Li Weiguo personally led his own military camp into the American concession, came directly to the American legation, surrounded the American legation, and forced Mai Lian and Perry to come out.
At this time, Mai Lian and Perry had already understood that they had been tricked by Li Weiguo's strategy of hiding a knife in his smile, and they glared at Li Weiguo viciously, if their eyes could kill, Li Weiguo would probably have been killed by them tens of thousands of times, which shows how strong this hatred is.
But Li Weiguo didn't care, he just came to make a big face, specifically hitting Mai Lian and Perry's faces.
Last year, Li Weiguo shot and killed a US soldier in front of the US Legation and everyone in the US Concession. Now Mai Lian and Perry have not had time to take revenge, but Li Weiguo once again wiped out the US Asian Fleet and 3,000 Marine Corps soldiers in one go, which is a more ruthless and painful big ear scraper, which makes Mai Lian and Perry eager to find a crack in the ground and throw them on Mars.
But Li Weiguo didn't stop there, he always either didn't do it, or he didn't do it.
Li Weiguo knows very well what the situation of the United States is, the only one that can carry out the annihilation of the US Asian Fleet in the distance, and the United States will not be able to cross the ocean to seek revenge on Li Weiguo in a few years, and the US Civil War will almost begin in a few years, and they will have no energy to seek revenge on Li Weiguo.
As for whether the united United States will come to Li Weiguo again to take revenge in the future, Li Weiguo is even less afraid of this, because Li Weiguo's own strength will continue to grow, and he has the confidence to deal with the Americans. (To be continued......)
