Several detachments of the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment carried ballistae and quietly approached the two land batteries of Tsarist Russia.

Cheng Ming, who was lying behind a rock, used a telescope to observe the movements on the fort back and forth from time to time.

On the fort, the torches of Tsarist Russian soldiers flashed, and from a distance, they looked like ghost fires in the tombs.

The corners of Cheng Ming's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a slight smile.

Before setting off, the reconnaissance personnel of the Fifth Regiment, with the assistance of local villagers, had already used various means to find out the path leading to the north bank battery, and the approximate deployment of Tsarist Russia's troops. Now, under the guidance of the guide, Yiqiē seems to be so familiar with the road. According to the topographic map marked by the reconnaissance company, as long as the two Tsarist Russian land batteries were taken, they could follow the only passage in the mountains to the long wall of the fort on the north bank. To him, the long wall in front of him was nothing more than a paper mustache. And the Russian officers and soldiers on the two coastal forts of Beishanzui and Sacrificial Tower, as long as they don't run away quickly, they are even more at his mercy.

He couldn't help but think of the excitement he felt when the division commander got the topographic map of the reconnaissance company.

"Xu Fang is good, I'll just say, as long as it's my favorite, then I will never lose my eyes", when he said this, Liang Chengfu smiled heartily.

Yes, Xu Fang is good! But the division commander didn't know that Xu Fang was not on the front line at the moment, he was lying in the field hospital in Wendeng City. What will happen to Xu Fang in the end? Cheng Ming can't say it well. The war was busy, and before leaving Wendeng, he had hurried to visit Xu Fang. A warrior who used to be so vigorous and vigorous, in front of him, he no longer even had the strength to open his eyes and look at him. On that young face like white paper, there seems to be a faint regret between the slightly raised eyebrows.

"Commander, it's all in place."

"Good brother, I'll finish what we need to do for you." Cheng Ming muttered silently in his heart, and slowly put down the telescope in his hand. With the help of the moonlight, he looked down at his pocket watch, which was still a few minutes away. He looked up at the two dark hills opposite, at the shaking lights on the hills that he couldn't help but repuls. Soon, his cheeks scurled, and a word popped out between his teeth, "Burn!" ”

"Smack!" The starting gun at the beginning of the attack rang out, and this gunshot literally opened a door to purgatory to hell for the Russian sailors on the makeshift battery.

At this moment, behind them, the cannon roared in the direction of Gumoling.

With the sound of this gunshot, with the cheerful roar of cannons from Gumo Ridge, the ballistae who lurked in the bushes, who couldn't help but be excited, almost at the same time, sent the incendiary canisters that could illuminate the beautiful Celestial Empire to the Tsarist Russian battery, and sent them into the middle of the sand hungry ghosts who had to leave the warships that might have brought them a little pride, but inevitably had sorrows, carried one ship cannon after another, and crawled here tiredly, and had not been able to slow down much.

On the two hills, the flickering "ghost fire" was engulfed in a series of raging gas flames in an instant......

"It's hard to understand how horrible it must be to be so screaming and wailing without being there, it's an unimaginable scene. Hundreds of creatures struggled in the flames, jumping, jumping, rolling, crawling...... I can't tell where the exit is, and I don't know where to flee. Crying was everywhere, and the burning sound of human flesh could be heard. The fire can't be extinguished! ”

“…… I was the first fire in my chest. Because before the fire, the commander told a few of us to sort out and stack the ammunition, and we were sweating all over. I unbuckled my belt and was trying to cool off when an inexplicable fire came. The thing that caught fire when it fell to the ground happened to fall in front of me a dozen paces away, and I felt a wave of heat rushing in, and I fell far away, and there was a burst of fire in front of me. Strangely, so far away, the clothes on my chest were actually on. In a panic, I first slapped it with my hand, but it was useless. Oh my God, I'm glad I didn't have a belt! I fell to my knees and quickly tore my shirt to shreds. Doom didn't leave me, and before I could breathe a sigh of relief, another row of that thing flew up. In any case, I can't figure out how the fire burns endlessly. My bare left arm was on it. I couldn't hear anything from the distant cannons, or the cries of my companions near me, as if my ears were full of the strange screams of burning arms. In the dark, maybe I don't deserve to die. ”

"The impact of the explosion caused me to fall right at the back exit of the fort, and I was so frightened that I threw myself and rolled down the hill, 'Mother, save your son!' I cried out in pain. When people are in a hurry, their brains may seem much smarter than usual. As I rolled up the hillside, I suddenly noticed that the fire on my arm seemed to get smaller, but as soon as I sat up, the fire grew bigger. My mother is an extremely kind person, who has been a maid in a rich family for half her life, and has endured all kinds of hardships and humiliations in the world. Maybe that's why my mom helped me in my distant hometown. I thrust my burning arm into the soft dirt and buried my entire arm with earth...... By the time I woke up from my fainting, I was a prisoner of war. ”

These two fires burned the rocks and burst, burned more than 300 sand hungry ghosts into charred corpses, and burned the remnants of the Tsarist Russian sailors, running away with their feet drifting for their lives, like fish that slipped through the net, like lost dogs, only hating their grandmother for giving birth to a few legs.

The remnants of the soldiers escaped the long parapet wall connecting the two coastal batteries, poured into the forts, and after disrupting the unknown gunners of the batteries, they then ran to the seashore and plopped into the sea like dumplings. Only at this time did they seem to feel a hint of relief in their hearts. It's still good in the sea, even though the burned wounds soaked in the sea make them tremble uncontrollably, then they are willing. It is also better to drown than to be burned.

The 5th Regiment seized two obstacles stuck in the path of advance and took advantage of the momentum to move forward. Cheng Ming and his soldiers were like oil under their feet, and they quickly blasted a gap in the retaining wall of the fort and rushed towards the two coastal forts. This time, unlike usual, the officers and men under the cover of night did not blow the rousing horn of the charge or the slogans they were accustomed to, and they had only one purpose in mind. It is necessary to be quick, to get close to the artillery battery of the Tsarist ghosts, only in this way can the interception artillery fire from the Tsarist Russian warships in the military port that is moored a few miles away.

On the pretext of adjusting the deployment of the fleet, Balushka had just left Dasamov in Weihai City and taken his own flagship on a small boat, and along the way, he saw the tragic scene of the north shore battery.

"Your Excellency, the North Shore Battery is dangerous." The adjutant reminded that "once the batteries are in their hands, the immobile fleet becomes their target." ”

Barushka, who was standing at the bow of the ship, did not speak, his hands holding binoculars were visibly trembling slightly. He clearly saw that the Taiping Red Army was rushing quickly through the valley towards the Beishanzui and the sacrificial platform fort. There were not many armed officers and soldiers on the battery, and in the face of such an army that bordered on madness, they were undoubtedly a bunch of docile sheep in front of this group of hungry tigers.

"Your Excellency Commander, fire the cannon and blow up the battery!" Looking at the silent commander, the adjutant couldn't help but shout, "Don't let those cannons fall into their hands!" ”

"Bastard!" The captain of the flagship glared at the adjutant viciously, and pointed to the north shore with his hand, "Those who are still standing on the fort are not the braided soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but the soldiers of our tsar." ”

"For the honor of His Majesty the Tsar, they must pay!" The adjutant did not show weakness and retorted sharply, "From the moment we put on the military uniform of His Majesty the Tsar, we all have this great obligation. This is war, and what we need is the final victory. ”

"Win your *** profit!" The captain took off his military hat and slammed it to the ground.

"Don't be impulsive, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Barushka put down the binoculars, but did not look back, only sighed softly.

He turned slowly, and pointed to the north bank, "Gentlemen, they will soon approach the fort, and it will soon be a shame for the tsar's soldiers to be slaughtered by them. We have suffered too many killings by the British and French in the Crimea, and in this damned lowly country, is this going to happen? ”

Seeing that the lieutenant colonel was still panting, Barushka pointed to the south of the Weihai Acropolis, "You can see it all, our elite Marine Corps officers and men are suffering heavy losses, but we have no way to help them get out of their predicament." At the North Shore Battery, we must pay back this debt from these devils. As soon as they approached the battery, they immediately concentrated all the artillery fire of the whole fleet and bombarded it. ”

At this point, he grimaced, "Gentlemen, it is difficult for me, or unwilling to give this order. However, for the survival of more of us, the lives of a few people are always worth it, and their names will always be with our tricolor. The most important thing is that there will be more devils who accompany us heroes. Of course, they can't go to heaven, God won't want them, they can only go to hell. ”
