Chapter 288: On the eve of the general attack
readx;
In a silvery white world, gusts of wind swept the snow all over the sky, and the sky in the distance seemed to be overcast as if it was about to collapse? In a small dry ditch, a few small white dots were moving slowly, on the hill not far from them, the Qing army was shivering with cold digging trenches and fortifications for the Russians, large bundles of barbed wire were carried by the Russians to the front, and the Russians in the rear got into the tents and drank strong wine, and from time to time the miserable cries of women could be heard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A veteran of the Qing army who even had his beard frozen together hid in a freshly dug bunker with a few recruits, and under the freezing cold, a pickaxe was a white spot, no matter how hard the Qing soldiers tried, the tools in their hands could not gnaw at the frozen soil that was as hard as a stone!
It seems that tonight is indispensable to be whipped, and there is no hope for dinner! The veteran tightened the torn padded jacket on his body, but found that it seemed to be colder? Why don't you work hotter? In desperation, several people waved their pickaxes again, and in despair, a Qing soldier wrapped in a quilt turned around in the ditch and came to the old soldier and shouted: "Old stick, you guys, come here!" ”
A few people came to the general manager, pulled the quilt away, and a few people squatted in it with their heads covered, and the general manager also trembled and said: "This day even the leather robe can't be stopped, the wind in Shanhaiguan is famously big, digging his mother's fortifications on this big wind outlet, this is bullshit, the left post has frozen to death seven today, you must not stop, you can't finish digging the whip little things, no one is distressed to freeze to death!" ”
The old stick hesitated, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Xu, you always look at my hands, they are all mouths, and I can't hold this pickaxe, I'm afraid this dog's ridge can't go down, it doesn't matter how old I am, these little babies are only fourteen or five years old, it's a pity to die here!" ”
Xu looked at the old stick and said, "What's wrong?" Do you want to go over there? ”
The old stick nodded helplessly and said, "I'm lucky to be able to cross the blockade, I heard that you can eat big white steamed buns for the road fee in the past!" ”
The old stick said as if he had eaten it, and even Xu swallowed a mouthful of spit, but the saliva seemed to start to freeze and thicken in his mouth! I'm going to freeze to death sooner or later, and this year's winter is very cold, damn it! I'm not doing it anymore!
"Let's go?" A few people followed Xu Jiang, who had lost the quilt, and quietly climbed out of the trench and slid down, Xu Jiang didn't know that there were already 100 people quietly climbing out at this time, and it seemed that the Chinese Empire had become the only way to live.
At the foot of the mountain, several scouts of the reconnaissance team of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps expeditionary force were not discovered by these Qing soldiers who surrendered to the Qing army, they still stubbornly and slowly touched the dog ridge, He Sanpao is the leader of this reconnaissance team, in the early years of the Northeast Shengjing people because his father was in the Qing army artillery team Han Army Green Battalion as an errand boy, so he gave him the name of three guns, hoping that his son could have an errand to support the family.
Although He Sanpao's family is surrounded by four walls, but he married a beautiful wife, because of the jealousy of the banner people, he has been in debt for many years, and finally escaped from Shengjing because of the difficulty of making a living, but was accidentally wanted to become a fugitive slave, the wife of the family was accepted as a slave, and when he went back, his wife had already been humiliated and threw into the well, He Sanpao killed several people in a rage, fled to the south and died, and joined the Imperial Marine Corps by chance, and was selected to serve in the Expeditionary Force Armed Forces Reconnaissance Team, For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, He Sanpao was full of hatred.
Today, He Sanpao is leading the team to catch the tongue of a Russian army, and it is not a new thing for the Qing army to flee and surrender to Cheng in large numbers, and this matter is coordinated by the Logistics United Front Work Department, and it is not about their Marine Corps. Vent all the grievances that have accumulated for many years! However, the appearance of the Russians caused the planned general attack to be postponed for many more days, which made the anger of revenge burn the eyes of He Sanpao, and hated the Russians too.
He Sanpao and his three team members were dressed in winter suits designed for scouts in the field by the Imperial Type 2, and they wore warm camouflage cloaks, because they were on a reconnaissance mission, they each carried only two Mauser pistols, and the two light machine guns were left near a dead tree 300 meters behind them.
Against the gusts of whistling winds, He Sanpao and others easily crossed the ridge that was almost unmanned, the Qing army digging fortifications on the mountain was a battalion of more than 400 people, but at the moment there were only 70 or 80 people left, more than 300 tents of the Russian army were in a ravine behind Dogridge Mountain, He Sanpao accurately marked the location of the Russian army on the map, and He Sanpao was extremely surprised that there was not even a sentry near the Russian camp? If it weren't for the fact that there seemed to be a steaming bonfire inside the tent, He Sanpao really thought it was a trap.
Capturing prisoners is an extremely professional scout operation, which not only requires the courage and carefulness of the implementer, but also requires extraordinary patience, because capturing the opponent's prisoners needs to infiltrate the opponent's camp to carry out, and waiting for the opportunity and grasping the opportunity is a crucial process, which will be related to the success of the entire operation.
Duviev. Dovich can be said to be a complete unlucky bastard, because the horse lost his fart, and was sent by the master to serve as a soldier in the Far East for the young master, originally said to be a good opportunity, it is said that anyone who goes can loot in the rich Qing country and return to Moscow to become a tycoon, but the result is to wait for Duviev. When Dovich arrived, he realized that it was not the case at all, and a powerful country appeared in the Qing Kingdom in the East, defeating the whole of Europe, and the bones of the previous 200,000 troops were probably taken away by wild dogs, and the captured and alive people lived every day as if life was worse than death.
Duviev. Dovic knew that he had been deceived, otherwise how could the young master of the old man's family not come to such a good opportunity? But Duviev. Dovich replaced the young master to join the army, and his own treatment was quite good, as a lieutenant of the Guards Hussars, Duviev. Dovich didn't suffer much, and the weather here is much warmer than in Moscow, except for the windy ones.
Duviev who just unbuttoned his pants. Dovich suddenly feels like it's dark? As soon as your eyes go black, you lose consciousness! He Sanpao and several people lifted Duviev with their hands and feet. Dovich ran, but he didn't run a few steps, and a Russian soldier who came out of the tent on the side and also relieved himself found out about the situation, and immediately screamed!
He Sancang turned around and put the Russian army down with one shot, and then took out a grenade and threw it in the direction of the tent! Rumble! Rumble! The explosion blew up several Russian tents and immediately collapsed, and the rest of the Russian army thought that they had been attacked, and immediately hugged their heads and ran, and some tents were collapsed and turned over by the Russian troops who fled the way!
However, the Russian army quickly locked the direction of the pursuit, shouting one by one and holding rifles to pursue He Sanpao and other five people, due to the relationship between the wind and snow and the wind, the Russian army that also resisted the wind and snow naturally did not have He Sanpao and others to hit the wind accurately, in the non-stop gunfire, the approaching Russian troops were shot and fell to the ground, and the advantage of the Mauser pistol was completely revealed!
When they chased near the dead tree, the two light machine guns that were ambushed there began to shoot, but due to the cold weather, one of the light machine guns was dumbfounded, but only one light machine gun also made the pursuing Russian army suffer a big loss, and after the five magazines were fired, the Russian army that was hooded and turned was put down in a large area.
On the west bank of the Dashihe River along the Great Wall pass deployed the Qing army guard Li Chonglin carefully accompanied the monk Lingling to the head of the city to watch the direction of the Dog Ridge, it can be said that Shanhaiguan here is a great deal of danger when the pass is not opened, in addition to the flat road along the coast, it is difficult to find a trail between the mountains and mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles to cross the Lao Ye Ridge, Xiang Mountain, Motianling, Shibapan, Sheephorn Mountain, etc., even the local hunters dare not go in, so Lin Rebell's Chinese Emperor team wants to go out of the pass to attack Shengjing, Then it was necessary to take Shanhaiguan, so he agreed with Marshal Chekov of the Russian army to fight fiercely with the Lin rebel bandit army here, looking for fighters to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Monk Grinchen did not believe in the so-called big words of Marshal Chekov, because before that, whether it was Duke Gomochlov or Veredovsky or Duravyev, the Russians had not talked much? Wasn't their 200,000 army slaughtered by Lin Haijiang like pigs and dogs?
In contrast, Monk Lingqin has a little bit of pride, because although his army was also defeated by Lin Haijiang in Wuhan, it is better to be dispersed than to be completely annihilated by the Russians, and the Russians always say that the Qing warriors can't fight? If you really can't fight, how can so many people always manage to escape? This is also a kind of ability, it doesn't matter if you lose the battle, the important thing is to save your life, from a newcomer who has never seen a battle to a veteran, Monk Greenqin can only comfort himself like this.
The Russians' assurances were very unreliable in the eyes of Seng Lingqin, so he deployed his only remaining 15,000 cavalry at Taolingyu behind the pass, preparing to use this cavalry force to give Lin Wei a head-on blow in case the pass was breached.
After several defeats in the battle with the Chinese Empire, Seng Lingqin also summed up some experience, that is, the soldiers and horses dealing with Lin Haijiang could not fight a positional offensive and defensive battle with him, let alone attack after he was preparing for defense, and could only wait for a sudden attack during his march, or a night attack, and at the same time as he attacked, he also launched a sudden attack in a narrow area, as long as the troops of the two sides were mixed together, then the role of sharpness and artillery fire on the Chinese Empire could not be played.
He still had some confidence in the white-edged war monk Greenqin, at least before this time, his subordinates had not fought hand-to-hand combat with the army of the Chinese Empire.
