Chapter 9: I Can't Measure My Life (9)

"What, the Belgians say their major general died in battle?" Wadsey's head was as big as a fight, and he had just sent his troops out to sweep the Boxer guerrillas behind, and there were battles that broke out every day, although the girlfriends were not big, but the bloody and fierce level was not low at all.

Now it's good that the Belgians were incompetent and even their generals were killed. Wadsey had never had a good impression of these guys who were brought in to make up the numbers. Similarly, he had little affection for the Netherlands and Spain. These countries are beaten in Europe, that is, in the Far East, where barbarians or in Africa, where black uncles run all over the ground, can they show their presence.

However, he did not express his thoughts, and Germany's current strategic situation is not very good, and it can even be said that it is very bad. He didn't want to make the Empire's strategic posture worse because of his unbridled cannon, in which case the Marshal's Scepter he had always wanted would never be in his hands.

"Is there any movement on the Qing side?" Wadsey asked the officers beside him, "Do they show signs of attack?" ”

"No, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General."

"Have we counted our casualties?"

"Well, it's still being counted." The officer on the side looked embarrassed. In these night raids and raids, the Eight-Nation Coalition fought ugly. Every time he was beaten to the collapse by the other party, the casualties were unknown without asking. But this situation cannot be announced to the outside world, so after each war, they have to rack their brains to fabricate data to make their side's casualties not look so exaggerated.

For example, they have redefined the concept of casualty. The latest definition is that only those who are killed by an enemy's weapon while engaging an enemy while engaging with a weapon are considered combat casualties. If you are missing, or you are wounded and die in the barracks, or if you die outside the battlefield by definition, you are not killed in battle.

It was by this method that the coalition forces were able to reduce their casualties to less than 4,000. It's still ugly, but it's better than tens of thousands of casualties at every turn.

"How long will it take for our heavy artillery to arrive?" Wadsey endured the irritation in his heart and asked, "Is the railroad fixed?" ”

"It is estimated that it will take another week to completely clear the enemy forces in the rear, and then bring the artillery over."

"Tell them to hurry."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General."

While the Eight-Nation Coalition was digging trenches and waiting for the heavy artillery from the rear to arrive, the Black Dragon Society was also overhauling barricades in the city of Beijing.

"Hey, Ah Cheng, I suddenly have an idea of flying immortals outside the sky." Lin Mengchu pushed a series of things such as counting casualties, transporting wounded soldiers, and rewarding and punishing to Chen Cheng, so she said very idlely: "I think we can completely defeat these great armies in front of us." ”

"Oh. Do you have a new idea? Chen Cheng was busy filling out various forms, and he said without raising his head: "But why are you suddenly so confident?" ”

"I have always believed that we have too few troops, not enough qualified officers, not enough heavy weapons. But after the First World War yesterday, I found that the quality of the low-level officers of the Eight-Nation Alliance was also average. If we try to kill or wound 10,000 or 20,000 people, we are fully capable of defeating the tens of thousands of people in front of us. ”

"Oh," Chen Cheng stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said, "What should I do after the defeat?" With 20,000 dead and wounded, it means that we simply cannot organize a battle of the same magnitude. And you have to know that the Russians alone have almost 200,000 outside the gates. ”

"So, it's so annoying to have crowd tactics or something."

"Well, in fact, if we compare the number of people alone, we can pull out more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, but"

"But there aren't that many weapons and so many officers, right?" The girl jumped on the table, walked over barefoot, and stepped on the wooden table with a "poof" sound, "I know this too, ah, it's annoying, it's annoying, those new strong men, well, most of those guys are strong at all, and many of them are damn opium ghosts." The appearance of those guys with snot and tears in the past two days is disgusting. ”

"Well, something funny came to me." Chen Cheng said: "Do you want to listen to it?" ”

"Don't sell it, just say whatever you think, I won't eat you. Yes, I'm not going to eat you. ”

"It's useless for you to tease me like that." Chen Cheng didn't squint, "I heard you say just now that the quality of our officers is not very good, I was thinking, then we are not like this as rookies pecking each other?" ”

"Rookies pecking each other? Haha," Lin Mengchu laughed twice, and then put his face up, "You're the rookie!" ”

"Amount"

"And you're so sluggish, I told you to react, are you the pig in that joke story? Well, are you a pig? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I haven't really counted this, well, are you talking about our genus in this world?"

"Of course I'm asking about the genus in the previous world!"

"Then I should be a tiger, you are two years younger than me, and you are a dragon." Chen Cheng said: "I also know that I am sometimes very slow, but I can't help it, because I am like this." ”

"Hmph, it's because you're sluggish, so you haven't been able to have a girlfriend before."

"Well, I think you're in the category of personal attacks. And I've dated a lot of girls. Chen Cheng said dissatisfiedly: "Although it hasn't been maintained for a long time, I have also had shopping, eating, watching movies and so on." ”

"And you're still a virgin?" The girl hit Chen Cheng with a critical blow, and Chen Cheng's face was like dirt.

"I don't know why, I feel like I've been hit in the knee"
