Chapter 228: Before the War

The greeting gift prepared by the Black Dragon Army to the forward troops of the Eastern Road Coalition Army is not insignificant.

Ten tons of explosives, a large amount of fuel, and a large number of flammable and explosive items, these are all inferior items that Yue Weihua exchanged in the merit tower, and the total price is less than a thousand merit points, but inferior quality is inferior, it is better than the quantity, its power is naturally amazing, and it is naturally very suitable for pit people.

The 253rd Brigade of Tsarist Russia, which had just been busy for a day and tired for a day, and the first group of people of the Tong Lisuo Department of the Qing Army, totaling more than 8,000 people, were about to fall asleep, when suddenly, they were drowned in this huge explosion and skyrocketing fire, and less than half of them were able to get away with the explosion and fire.

However, the lucky ones who were less than half of them soon found that their doom was still not over, the Black Dragon Army Cavalry Regiment was coming with great momentum, strong combat effectiveness, and ferocious firepower, so that these panicked lucky people had no power to resist.

The explosions in the town of the second station have not stopped, the skyrocketing fire has not been extinguished, but the battle between the two sides has long ended.

A brigade of Tsarist Russia totaled more than 4,200 people, and more than 2,300 people were killed in explosions and fires, 6,700 were killed, and more than 1,000 were captured.

On the Qing side, the strength of the first joint force was also more than 4,000 people, relatively speaking, the explosives and inflammable and explosive materials planted in their stations were much less, and only more than 1,000 people were killed and burned, and only more than 300 people were killed, and nearly 3,000 others all wisely chose to surrender.

The Black Dragon Army effortlessly annihilated the two brigades of the coalition army with the powerful momentum of giving the coalition army a dismount.

"Retreat, return to the Wolf Domain."

Yue Weihua took one last look, the second station town in the raging fire, he felt a little pity in his heart, the second station town has always been regarded as a window to the outside world, or an outpost stronghold, however, the city wall is not thick or strong, the fortifications are average, the defense and defense bandit beard is acceptable, in the face of the coalition artillery, those few broken walls, can not bear the beating at all, in this case, it is better to destroy, the province has become the garrison of the coalition army, of course, it can pit the other party, kill the other party's two brigades, it is also worth the money.

The harvest of more than 42,000 merit points made Yue Weihua smile from ear to ear, and now all regiments in the headquarters, in addition to the 101st Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment, have completed a comprehensive redress, the 102nd, 103rd, 104th, 105th regiments and the Moling Army Division, these field regiments are only equipped with a small number of mortars, grenadiers and Makqin heavy machine guns, and the Marine Corps, the First Fleet of the Marine Division, the Engineer Corps, the Guard Regiment and other units only have a small number of such weapons, mainly for training, nine out of nine soldiers, They all use water bead rifles.

Originally, I planned to use the war to nourish the war, fight a battle, earn some merit points, and then change the clothes of a regiment, but now it is so easy to earn more than 40,000 merit points, plus more than a dozen production lines in my arsenal have all been working day and night for eight or nine days, so that at least three regiments can be fully replaced.

Wolf Domain Headquarters, Conference Room.

In the middle of the conference room, there is a physical model map that occupies a radius of more than ten meters, this physical model map is based on the actual map within a radius of more than 20 miles of the wolf domain, abbreviated and made, the above are named according to the actual name, the five lines of defense of the wolf domain and the three lines of defense from the wolf domain into the base of the Yunxia Valley are all clearly marked, and with a card, for a certain line of defense, the focus of further study is explained.

After easily solving the forward troops of the coalition forces in the second station town, Yue Weihua led the commanders of each regiment into the conference room to carry out the final mobilization before the war and the assignment of combat tasks.

"The fourth Tsarist invasion of Aihui has officially begun, hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian Qing court coalition troops are close at hand, this will be the war that will really determine whether our Black Dragon Army can gain a foothold and survive ,......, war, so we only have to win, not defeat we must beat Tsarist Russia this time, and they dare not attack easily, otherwise, we will never have peace,......"

"Okay, nonsense, I won't talk about it anymore, now let's get to the point, everyone stands around the model drawing."

"We are now, in this position, the Black Dragon Army Wolf Domain Headquarters, see it, we have our back to the Langya Mountain, hidden in the canyon, above our heads, two ironclad ships are placed, even if it is a 250 mm caliber super shore defense gun, it is difficult to penetrate the defense here, so the General Headquarters, relatively speaking, is very safe, then here, it will also be the general headquarters of our Black Dragon Army in the next battle days."

"Let's take a look at our defense line, after more than two months of painstaking management, after the full efforts of the engineering regiment, with the help of thousands of young and strong laborers, finally before the start of the war, the construction of the five lines of defense was completed, here we need to thank all the members of the engineering regiment, especially Tian Dashan, the head of the engineering regiment, Yue Hai, the director of general logistics, and many participants, who used their own blood and sweat to build the five great walls of steel for us."

Bang Bang Bang!

There should be applause here.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, now start assigning combat missions."

"Look here, this is the periphery of Mount Buren, and it has not yet entered the territory of the Wolf Domain, but here, we have also established a line of defense, this line of defense has two main battlefields, one is the main battlefield, at this entrance position, and the other is on the mountains along the periphery of Mount Buren, these places cannot be entered, but if the other party sends a small force to infiltrate, it is possible, I think you have also taken the team to inspect the site, I will not say more.

"Now, I order that the main battlefield of the first line of defense will be handed over to the 102nd Regiment, and the auxiliary battlefield will be handed over to the First Marine Division Fleet."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Nie Youcai, the commander of the 102nd Regiment, and Luo Qing, the commander of the Naval Fleet, both responded to the order, but the mood of the two was a little different, one was the main and the other was supplemented, but in the past when they were in the 102nd Regiment, Nie Youcai was the head of the regiment, and Luo Qing was the chief of staff, and they could be regarded as old partners.

"Well, in view of the fact that the main battlefield is facing the main fire attack of the other side, the 102nd Regiment can now go to receive new equipment and change their equipment."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"Okay, now the second line of defense ,......"

……

Just when Yue Weihua was intensively arranging the combat mission, in the headquarters of the allied forces on the East Road of Taoyuan Town, more than 20 kilometers away, the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Kuzuo Sike, and the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, General Shengjing, Zeng Qi, both sat opposite each other in the command headquarters with iron faces.

Of course, the two of them are not without joy in their hearts, glad that they did not settle in the second station town for the first time, otherwise, at this moment, the two of them are probably either lying there silently, angry at all, or they are imprisoned in the prisoner camp of the wolf domain, it is said that in the prisoner camp of the Black Dragon Army, there are as many as a dozen Russian generals, and both of them feel a little afraid when they think about it.

"General Zeng Qi, the Western Road Coalition Army has been dragged by the Black Dragon Army in the mountains of Xigang in Murgen City, and in a short period of time, they may not be able to come to converge, so I think we can't wait any longer, otherwise, morale will continue to be low, and I want to start launching a general attack on the Black Dragon Army's wolf lair tomorrow."

After a long silence, Lieutenant General Kuzuosco finally took the lead in breaking the silence, in fact, according to the strategy discussed by the two, the first step was to advance steadily, step by step to compress the activity space of the Black Dragon Army, and at the same time wait for the convergence of the Western Route Coalition Army, in addition, it is to use the innate advantages of the Qing Army to infiltrate, rebel, and discord the high-level training of the Black Dragon Army.

But what neither of them expected was that the Black Dragon Army did not give them this opportunity at all, not only did they not resist along the way, but also evacuated all the people around them in advance, which made Zeng Qi, a veteran of officialdom and a general of Shengjing who was good at infighting, sit directly on wax, and people don't give you a chance to contact at all, even if you have the opportunity to take advantage of the people's approach, even if you want to take a walk with rumors, you have no soil, this is simply the bottom of the kettle.

"Commander-in-Chief of Kuzuosco, according to our intelligence, the Black Dragon Army operates the Wolf Domain like an iron bucket, and the five lines of defense are built according to the steep terrain of the Wolf Domain, if you want to kill it with a strong attack, I am afraid we must be prepared to sacrifice a large number of soldiers." Zeng Qi bluntly said that the person who can be the general of Sheng Jing naturally can't be a straw bag, maybe it's not good to fight on horseback, but for strategic analysis, it will definitely not be bad.

"Well, why don't I know that?" Kurzuosco sighed.

He was originally the governor of Kanto Prefecture, and he has been in Huaxia for many years, so it can be said that he is Huaxia Tong, and he and Zeng Qi can be regarded as old acquaintances and old friends, so when the two of them get along alone, they both seem quite relaxed, and when they talk, they don't beat around the bush so much.

"Since I received this appointment, I have known that this battle is an extremely difficult battle, you and I have more than 100,000 troops in the alliance, to put it mildly, it is possible that eighty or ninety percent of the people will have to explain in this battle, so, from the beginning of this battle, let's not care about sacrifice, because even if the sacrifice is great, as long as you can achieve the final victory, it is worth it, I think you received a death order, otherwise, with your status as General Shengjing, you should not go out in person." Cuzuo Cisco said bluntly.

"Hehe, old friend, I can't hide anything from you." Zeng Qi smiled and said: "What's more, I came in person, Jilin General Changshun, isn't he also taking the infantry to Bingcheng on the train that you have not yet fully opened to traffic, even the Heishui Provincial General Qiubuha, who has always refused to take office, has been ordered by the imperial court to leave immediately and rush here." Zeng Qi said helplessly.

"General Zeng Qi, in order to boost the morale of the coalition forces, I plan to carry out a long-term bombardment of the wolf domain tomorrow to kill the momentum of the other side, of course, our main artillery attack point must fall on the opponent's first main line of defense, so, I hope that after the bombardment, your warriors can take the opportunity to take the opponent's first line of defense, what do you think?"

It is true that Cuzuosco and Zeng Qi are old friends, but when it comes to national interests, although Cuzuosco will not give any orders directly and domineeringly like Nikola Cage, he will still express it euphemistically and firmly, Tsarist Russia will open fire, and the Qing army will get people, it's that simple.

"No problem."

Zeng Qi nodded and responded directly, since the other party gave face, then Zeng Qi couldn't help but continue, from the beginning, the Qing court knew from top to bottom that in this battle, the role of the Qing army was cannon fodder, and the real attack must be the main force of Tsarist Russia.

……

The fire in the town of the second station has been burning until dawn, and it has not been completely extinguished until dawn, and standing far away from the town, you can even smell the smell of vomiting meat.

This is the battlefield, cruel and cold, either you die or I die.

"Commander-in-chief, the town of World War II has been destroyed, and it is suitable for a place to settle in, in the area of Cuiliugouzi, three miles away, there were originally several tunzi and hundreds of households, and now they have been empty, which is more suitable for large troops to be stationed, in addition, our reconnaissance team has conducted a detailed investigation there to ensure that there will be no similar situation in the second station town." Victor, the captain of the Russian guard, followed Kuzosco and reported.

"Well, the matter of the stationing of the troops can be implemented by you and the commanders of each division." After finishing speaking, Cuzosco no longer talked to Victor, but said to the guards beside him: "Go and call me the three commanders of the artillery regiment." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

In terms of troops, the 80,000 troops that can be drawn have all been withdrawn, and at this moment in the major cities in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia is still vigorously recruiting troops, ready to reinforce at any time, and even in the ruling center of Tsarist Russia, in their elite European part, they are also gathering troops at this moment, and are preparing to send troops to the Far East.

In addition, in terms of artillery, Tsarist Russia also spared no effort, and even temporarily dismantled the fortress guns in various places, and formed two heavy artillery regiments, with a total of more than 50 heavy artillery pieces of 150 mm caliber, and three field artillery regiments, with a total of more than 130 field artillery pieces, and several wagons of shells.

Of course, in the Eastern Route Coalition Army, there is only one heavy artillery regiment, two field artillery regiments, and another heavy artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment, which are currently in the Western Coalition Army in Morgan.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

"Lieutenant General Kuzosco."

"Your Excellency the Governor."

It is not difficult to see from the titles of the commanders of the three artillery regiments that the relationship between the three of them and Kuzuo Sisco, but at this moment, Kuzuo Siko no longer has the heart to pay attention to these things, but directly issued an order to the three of them: "Today I am going to bombard the Wolf Domain, which focuses on bombing their first line of defense, it is now eight o'clock in the morning, I will give you three hours to prepare, and at eleven o'clock, I will hear the sound of artillery and continue to bombard me for an hour." ”

The Black Dragon Army has built five lines of defense in the Wolf Domain, and this kind of news has been detected by the Qing Army's meticulous work, of course, all they know is the approximate location of the five lines of defense, and the real internal situation of the defense line, they don't know, but for the artillery, it is enough to know the specific location.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

The three artillery regiment commanders took the order and left.

On the other side of the town, Zeng Qi, the general of Shengjing, also led a group of generals of the Qing army to Fengjia Village and Bortun in person, conducted on-site education for the generals under him, and began to assign combat tasks.

Wolf Domain, the first battle, is about to start.
