Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

At midnight sharp, the sound of artillery once again rumbled over the camp of the coalition forces on the West Road, because the artillery position selected this time was about a kilometer away from the forward outpost of Tsarist Russia, and there was a small river in the middle, so this round of artillery bombardment had more time, and Yue Weihua planned to carry out five rounds of artillery bombardment, and then evacuate.

As the first round of shells landed, the earth-shattering explosion sounded, and an invisible shock wave began to wreak havoc in the Russian military camp, the 105 mm caliber howitzer, its powerful destructive power, has been fully explained here, a second ago a certain military camp was still intact, dozens of Russian soldiers were sleeping soundly, a second later, because a shell fell into the middle of this camp, these dozens of Russian soldiers were killed instantly, most of the soldiers were blurred with flesh and blood, flying and annihilated, the location of the original tent, Only a big pit remains.

This is the most brutal side of war, and this is the super power of the king of land warfare.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

Five rounds of artillery bombardment, 90 shells landed at the same time, Yue Weihua gained nearly 3,000 merit points, that is to say, this artillery attack almost killed 600 people in Tsarist Russia, and more than a battalion of soldiers and horses.

"Let's go."

As the last shell left the muzzle, more than 200 artillery soldiers of the artillery battalion rushed out of the position, and Yue Weihua rushed into the position, constantly collecting the dozen or so guns, until the last one was finished, Yue Weihua shouted, and led the team into the vast night.

Only a few minutes later, a group of Tsarist Russian soldiers appeared outside the artillery position, looking at the strange position, this group of Tsarist soldiers was dumbfounded again, until the second group of men and horses appeared, these people came to their senses, and then gave the order to search.

At this time, Yue Weihua had already escaped into the night with the artillery battalion, away from the original artillery position, on the contrary, when groups of men and horses of Tsarist Russia rushed out of the warning point, a group of soldiers of the Black Dragon Army hidden in the dark night went the opposite way, passed through layers of checkpoints, and sneaked towards the coalition camp.

"Bastard."

"Despicable sneak attackers."

"Cunning Chinese."

……

On the other hand, in the two camps of the Qing army, although all the officers and men of the Qing army were also awakened, and many people were also frightened, but after the shelling, the Qing army found that not a single shell fell into the two camps of the Qing army.

"Yes, is it a coincidence?"

Jiang Youxiao, the orthodox leader of the Qing army, frowned and muttered to himself, no shells fell into the camp, of course Jiang Youxiao was happy, after all, shells don't have eyes, who knows if they will fall on his handsome tent, but fortunately, Jiang Youxiao is also a little worried.

"Forget it, I must have thought too much, pass the order, turn off the lights in the whole camp, and hurry up to sleep."

Jiang Youxiao shook his head, denied the speculation in his heart, and then lay down directly, ready to hurry up and rest for a while, because Jiang Youxiao intuitively thought that tonight would definitely not be peaceful, and such a bombardment would probably happen again, so he must seize all the time, go to bed quickly, and replenish his physical strength and energy.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

Two hours later, Jiang Youxiao's guess was finally confirmed, tonight was indeed not peaceful, around two o'clock in the morning, the cannon sounded again, and Jiang Youxiao, who was sleeping in clothes, was escorted by several guards, and quickly came to the bottom of a slope, in fact, in the face of this kind of artillery attack without a clear goal, where to hide, the probability of being bombed, is actually about the same, of course, under the slope, it may be a little better.

"Hehe, Lord Dutong, look at those shells, why do they all have the same eyes, and they are all drilling into the Russian camp?" One of Jiang Youxiao's simple-looking guards was obviously a little gloating when he saw the scene of many soldiers in the Tsarist camp opposite.

"How do you speak, what do you mean that the cannonballs have eyes, it's obviously because our wise and martial Lord Dutong is standing here, so those cannonballs don't dare to run here, I don't even understand this, don't talk nonsense if I don't understand." As soon as you hear this, you know that it is a sycophant.

However, Jiang Youxiao frowned at the moment, although it was a good thing that the shells did not blow himself up, but not a single shell fell into the two camps of the Qing army, which was not a good thing.

Fortunately, the artillery attack came and went quickly.

In just a few minutes, the two camps of the Qing army quickly returned to calm, and then they all got into their own quilts, ready to fall asleep again, while Jiang Youxiao, the commander of the Qing army, was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Hey, it should be a coincidence, I hope Lao Maozi didn't find anything abnormal, right?"

Hope, after all, is just hope, the coalition camps, whether big or small, are not small, three consecutive rounds of artillery attacks, the Qing army's two camps were unscathed, how can this not attract the attention of Tsarist Russia.

In particular, as soon as the artillery attack ended, the Qing army quickly fell into calm, as if the shelling just did not exist at all, on the other hand, in the three military camps of Tsarist Russia, it was still noisy after the shelling, after all, the corpses of the soldiers who were killed needed to be cleaned up, the half-dead soldiers cried and shouted to be healed, and the negative emotions continued to permeate the camp, and many Russian soldiers no longer entered the camp, trembling and hiding in some places where they thought they were safe, looking up at the starry sky.

In such a comparison, it is difficult not to be noticed.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I suspect that the Qing army has colluded with the Black Dragon Army,......。"

Wells, the commander of the 91st Division of Tsarist Russia, came to the temporary headquarters and reported the situation to Commander-in-Chief Nikola Cage, because the camp of their division was next door to the Qing army camp, and he was very puzzled by the three rounds of artillery attacks on the Qing army camp, and not a single shell fell in.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

After listening to Wells, Nikola Cage was also skeptical, but reason told him that the Qing army should not collude with the Black Dragon Army, if it really wants to collude, it only needs to be at the time of landing, or even when the fleet is sailing in the Mudanjiang, Songhua River or Nenjiang, as long as the Black Dragon Army is informed in advance, then with the strong record of the Black Dragon Army in the Heishui River, I am afraid that it will be easy to destroy the Western Route Alliance. The Nenjiang River is far less wide than the Heishui River, and as long as enough artillery is erected on both banks, it is easy to sink the fleet of the Western Route Coalition Army.

"Coincidence?" Division Commander Wells snorted coldly and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, there is a proverb among the Chinese people that if you are not of our race, your heart will be different, I hope that Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will not trust these foreigners, so as not to affect the judgment, as for whether it is a coincidence, I think there is still a chance and time to verify it." ”

……

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

Two hours later, about four o'clock in the morning, the fourth artillery attack of the night returned.

Another round of five consecutive shots, 90 shells landed, concentrated and flew to the three military camps belonging to Tsarist Russia, although the barracks are very large, relatively speaking, there are very few shells, but whether they hit or not, it depends entirely on luck, good luck, a shell killed a person in a camp, bad luck, I'm afraid it's just a number, just a sound.

Of course, after three rounds of shelling, the Tsarist Russian soldiers basically slept in their clothes, and as soon as the cannon sounded, they all immediately rushed out of the camp tents, scattered, looking for a place that they thought was safe, and took shelter temporarily, so basically the results of the second shelling were the greatest, and then, each time was less than the first.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, take a look at the Qing army camp."

In order to verify the Qing army, Wells, the commander of the 31st Division, invited the commander-in-chief of Nikola Cage to his camp.

In the direction of Wells's finger, Nikola Cage found that the camp of the Qing army actually seemed very calm, although there were also many Qing soldiers who ran out of the camp, but relatively speaking, it was only a few, and even these guys who ran out did not seem to be in a hurry, not nervous at all, could it be that the quality of the Qing army was really so high?

The answer is obviously not so, because until the end of the shelling, there was not a moment of shells landing in the Qing army's camp, and even in the camp of the 91st Division, which leaned in the direction of the Qing army, there were basically no shells landing.

Is this abnormal?

There must be ghosts among them.

Nikola Cage left the camp of the 91st Division very angrily, and when he hurried back to his tent, he also sent his own guards to invite Jiang Youxiao to come over to discuss the matter.

In the face of Nikola Cage's invitation, Jiang Youxiao couldn't refuse, and quickly ordered a team of guards, and went out with Nikola Cage's guards, Jiang Youxiao walked in the camp, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, and where the uneasiness came from, he knew very well, but was this explained clearly?

"Jiang Dutong, don't you have anything to say?"

As soon as Jiang Youxiao entered the tent, Nicola Cage didn't even have a polite courtesy, and with a posture of interrogating prisoners, he went straight to the point.

"General Cage, I know what you want to ask."

Jiang Youxiao looked at Nikola Cage, his expression seemed very calm, because on the way here, Jiang Youxiao suddenly figured out one thing, that is, if you want to gain the respect of Tsarist Russia, you can only show your strength, unilateral obedience and slapping horses, which will definitely not work here.

In this case, Jiang Youxiao is too lazy to pretend to be a grandson, he can mix with the orthodoxy of the first grade, and he can stand alone in the Qing court.

After figuring out this and understanding the urine sex of Lao Maozi, Jiang Youxiao naturally calmed down, looking at Nikola Cage, he didn't think how terrible foreigners were, the same two eyes, two ears, and one mouth, no matter what, under his own hands, there are still fifteen or six thousand people, Jiang Youxiao really doesn't believe that Nicola Cage dares to do anything with him, it's a big deal, and he doesn't have a place to stay here.

Jiang Youxiao's calm and humble attitude made the angry Nikola Cage quickly calm down, and the originally prepared question lines, Nikola Cage had to give up, the two looked at each other like this, and after being silent for a while, Nikola Cage suddenly smiled and said: "Jiang Dutong, it seems that Nikola has a lot of heart." ”

"General Cage, you can think so, it really makes Jiang happy, I think mutual trust and understanding are the prerequisites for the cooperation between the armies of our two countries." Jiang Youxiao said this, and paused before saying: "However, for tonight, the two camps of our Qing army have not been shelled, I still want to explain my personal opinion. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

"In the first battle yesterday morning, my subordinate Xiequan army was annihilated, I think they should not have been completely annihilated, many of them should have been captured, including even many senior officers of our Qing army, so, I guess, the details of our camp should have been revealed through their mouths, this is one of them."

"Second, the Black Dragon Army has always been elusive, we just arrived at Bawang Beach yesterday morning, and the Black Dragon Army was able to seize Moziling, plus, tonight's repeated artillery attacks, but, although your army arranged as many as one brigade to go to the guard, and the cordon was also pulled three kilometers away, but it was still played by the other party, from here, it is not difficult to see that Heilongjiang's intelligence ability is very strong, and I can even say very unceremoniously that since we logged in to Bawang Beach, we have been under the monitoring of the other party, our every move, are all in their hands. ”

"Third, the Black Dragon Army's artillery attack tonight treats our two teams differently, it must be trying to drive a wedge between our two armies and create a gap between our two armies, once their goal is achieved, there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of our Western Route Alliance Army will be greatly weakened."

I have to say that people who can mix with orthodoxy do have two brushes, at least Jiang Youxiao said this, Nikola Cage's opinion of Jiang Youxiao has obviously changed a lot, and at this time Nikola Cage finally remembered his teacher, the Minister of War of Tsarist Russia Kurobatkin, in the telegram sent to him on how to effectively use the Qing army.

Kurobatkin believes that it is definitely not possible to expect the Qing army to fight a tough battle, and it may be reluctant to be cannon fodder.

Kurobatkin pointed out that the reason for pulling in the Qing army was that it had three biggest effects.

First, their own people know their own people, the meaning is very simple, Tsarist Russia does not know the situation of the Black Dragon Army, but the Qing army is much stronger, the Chinese people, especially the officials of the Qing court, what they are best at is infighting, with the support of the Qing army, in this regard, they will not suffer.

Second, to make up for the lack of intelligence, there is a huge difference between Tsarist Russia and the Chinese, regardless of skin color, height and body type, if you rely on Tsarist Russian intelligence personnel to collect intelligence, its resistance will definitely be much greater, but the Qing army is different.

Third, there is the issue of local supply, of course, there are other aspects, such as political considerations, etc., which do not need to be told to Nikola Cage.

"Jiang Dutong is very right, maybe Nikolai did something wrong in the past, and I ask Jiang Dutong to understand, I hope that from now on, our two armies can cooperate in a real sense, and I also hope that the two of us can become friends." Nikola Cage suddenly lowered his posture, took the lead in stretching out his hand, and spoke.

"Haha, okay, thanks to General Cage, General Cage's friend, I've made a deal with Jiang." Jiang Youxiao said with a smile, if things can develop into the current result, Jiang Youxiao is naturally very happy.

"Well, Jiang Dutong, I don't know what you think about tonight's shelling?" Nikola Cage asked, at this time, he really regarded Jiang Youxiao as an ally.

"General Cage, we are extremely passive tonight, the main reason is that we are tired of the expedition, and Moziling is in the hands of the other party, so we are passive everywhere, fortunately, this passivity is only temporary, as long as the army from the west comes, our passivity will be lifted naturally, and what we have to do now is to strengthen the defense before dawn, and we must not let the other side attack the camp succeed, in addition, it is to let the soldiers quickly recover their strength." Jiang Youxiao said bluntly.

"Jiang Dutong is right."
