Chapter 11: Total Annihilation
'Boom~~~'
A violent explosion suddenly came, and the whole earth trembled wildly, and clusters of orange flames suddenly rose into the air, mercilessly devouring the night in front of them.
It was like a beast of prey, and the night was its enemy, and all those who stood in its way, whether it was the air, the trees, or the Russian soldiers, were not spared.
'Whoosh...... Whoosh......'
One by one, the bullets were detonated, dragging long beams of light, flying irregularly into the distance, and only in the distance can you appreciate its beauty.
And for those who are a little closer, it is a devastating disaster.
The Russian army, with nearly 500 soldiers, was engulfed by this sudden explosion in an instant.
The defenselessness was the most fundamental reason for the total annihilation of the Russian soldiers in this battalion.
In order to speed up the convergence of scattered ammunition, the battalion commander Kovich basically sent two companies of troops up. The remaining two companies were all within 100 meters of the center of the explosion.
Dozens of shells exploded almost at the same time, plus a large number of bullets flying everywhere, how could the defenseless Russian army have a good result?
Before Kovich himself could react, the whole person lost consciousness, and it was difficult to find even a complete corpse.
Wang Sirui, who was a few miles away, couldn't help but stop after hearing the explosion behind him. Although all this is self-inflicted, and what is torn off is also its own enemy.
But Wang Sirui still has a trace of discomfort in his heart, in fact, in the final analysis, Wang Sirui is also a complete recruit.
Although he has been a human being for two lives and has been a soldier for nearly ten years, this is only the first time he has killed someone.
The violent explosion made Wang Sirui and the others a few miles away clearly feel the anger from the earth, and everyone's cheeks were full of incredible expressions.
"Your Excellency...... This ......" Ma Sanru stammered a little and looked behind him and asked.
Previously, when Wang Sirui was making a trap, he called Ma Sanru, Wang Shuqi and Cheng Jin to the front together, and took advantage of this difficult opportunity to give them a temporary lesson.
Although each of the three of them understood what Wang Sirui said, now, they all understood what kind of skills Wang Sirui taught them just now.
It's just that such a big movement, does it really take a casual understanding of the hands and feet to get it? Deep down in Ma Sanru's heart, he was still a little skeptical.
"No doubt, that's what we just did." Wang Sirui forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and said.
As the leader of the whole team, Wang Sirui is not even psychologically uncomfortable, but he must not show it in front of anyone, otherwise the whole team will disperse.
"How is this possible?" Cheng Jin touched his head and couldn't help but look back, if he was there, I'm afraid it would be difficult to survive, right?
"Nothing is impossible, this is the charm of modern warfare, and this is the problem why we can't beat foreigners. Now the form between friend and foe is like having a huge city wall, on which are full of soldiers armed with bows and arrows, and we only have infantry with big swords and long hair, and we don't even have a siege ladder, how can we win this battle if we don't make changes? Wang Sirui said meaningfully.
Now that I'm here, I have to change.
Gengzi has changed the country, and he has no ability to adapt the results, which Wang Sirui knows very well, but this does not mean that he has to give up.
Similarly, Wang Sirui doesn't want such a feat to be coveted by some people, he has his back to the big tree of the Wang family, it can be said that as long as it is operated properly, and he is not a straw bag, it is easy to continue to go up.
Of course, Wang Sirui's ambition is not just to continue to move upward.
In this chaotic world where human life is humble, how can anyone with a little ability have no ambition?
"Change? ......" Ma Sanru and the others wondered, obviously, deep down, they were not optimistic.
Don't say it's them, didn't the emperor engage in some kind of reform and reform a few years ago? As a result, it only took less than 100 days to be slapped back by the Empress Dowager Xigong.
Not only did those who changed the law go to the guillotine, but even the emperor himself was put under house arrest.
Although this matter has not been passed into the public in detail, there are many versions that have been handed down. Moreover, these versions have the same characteristic, that is, they are telling the people that everything related to the reform of the law will be lost.
In short, the things of the ancestors cannot be lost, no matter who they are.
"Change, must change. We wanted to make a change, so we had the first Beiyang Naval Division in Asia, and later some people felt that they were strong, so they began to be complacent and no longer seek new development, so we lost so badly in the First Sino-Japanese War.
The 100-day Restoration, this time is still too short, and none of us can say what the final result will be if we persist. But what is certain is that if you can persevere, the results will not be the way they are now.
I can't control the above things, and I don't have the life to take care of them. But among our dozens of brothers, my Wang can still manage it. In any case, in order for each of our brothers to live, we must make changes. Wang Sirui said bluntly.
Now the entire Qing Dynasty is talking about changing color, almost no one dares to talk about the topic of changing the law, and the prestige of the Empress Dowager Xigong is so loud that no one dares to challenge it at all.
Even Wang Sirui does not dare to directly challenge Cixi's prestige at present. But these dozens of people can't adapt it, so Wang Sirui can only use the word "alive" to tell them that if they don't make changes, what awaits them is death.
Of course, the current situation in China is caused by the Restoration, which has touched Cixi's interests, but at more levels, it is the pressure brought by Emperor Guangxu to Cixi.
That's right, it's pressure.
There is no need for Wang Sirui to tell these dirt buns under him, in fact, this is also some of the secrets that Wang Sirui explained when he was in the military academy.
After the failure of the Hundred Days Restoration, the first person to be guillotined was not Kang Youwei and others, but the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guangxu.
And the reason why Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai in the end was because of the intervention of the Western powers. It can be said that without the intervention of the Western powers, Emperor Guangxu would not have lived until now.
And this incident finally laid the root cause for the Gengzi National Revolution, although it was not the direct cause.
While Wang Sirui used his remarks little by little to adapt the subconscious of these people under him, the coalition forces were in chaos.
The British army, which is already ready to be prepared, this time it is not the Indian Asan, but the original British army. In order to maintain the internal stability of the coalition forces, the British commander could only order the troops to rest in place and wait for the Russian troops to return.
It didn't take long for a burst of fire to be heard in the distance, accompanied by a violent explosion.
The foreigners were not from the Qing Dynasty and knew nothing about this situation. At the same time as seeing this scene, the British commander, Lieutenant Colonel Willie Al-Fred, sensed that something was wrong.
The British army was immediately ordered to advance at full speed and go to the site of the explosion to investigate.
It originally took half an hour to travel, but the British army arrived at the scene in only three quarters of an hour, but the scene at the scene scared the British enough.
A whole battalion of nearly 500 men, who could still move at this moment, could count on one hand, and these people were all seriously wounded, and before they could be translated, one by one died of excessive blood loss.
Deliberately take out the Japanese convoy, then set up an ambush to attract allied reinforcements, and then use the baggage to annihilate a battalion of reinforcements in one fell swoop.
If it all were just a coincidence, Willy Alfred wouldn't have believed it.
This is definitely something that only an elite trained unit with super combat effectiveness can do.
Willy Alfred, on the other hand, was a step too late, so he was not able to ask for any useful information.
But the sudden appearance of such a ghost unit on the battlefield was enough to attract the attention of the British. Because from the beginning of the attack on Tianjin, until now, the coalition forces have not encountered such a battle.
Even if it was the experience of being defeated by the Boxers because of carelessness in the early stage. Willie Alfred could even tell that this was definitely the first time this force had appeared.
"Immediately inform General Gaisley that we have encountered a mysterious force that has ambushed the Japanese baggage team, and then used the baggage to completely annihilate a supporting battalion of Russian troops. We don't have any information about this force yet, and the coalition forces need to be vigilant. Lieutenant Colonel Willie Alfred called out to his communications corps and commanded.
This war was not as simple as it was during the Opium War, and after such a long period of development, the Qing army was no longer much worse than the coalition army in terms of equipment, and even better than them.
It would not be surprising if suddenly a well-trained army appeared. Originally, everyone was curious, the Qing army had such advanced weapons and equipment, why didn't any of the troops show the meaning of being brave and good at fighting?
Now this force is coming, but as soon as it appears, it has brought such huge losses to the coalition forces.
They lost not only one battalion of Japanese troops and one battalion of Russian troops, but more importantly, these baggage. Without these burdens, the army on the front line would not be able to continue its advance.
It can be said that Wang Sirui's sneak attack delayed the coalition forces for at least one day.
