Standing in a forest on the hillside in the distance, Xu Guangyuan slowly put down the telescope, Ma Tianbao's eighth town rushed to kill bravely, and Li Xubin's ninth town, known as a fierce general, was a little out of the way, just attacked, Ma Tianbao's eighth town was knocked down at least more than 700 people, and Li Xubin's ninth town although it was also huge, but only lost more than 100 people, and the comparison between the two is naturally clear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Beiyang New Army is the pillar of Beiyang, and it is the last straw of the Qing Dynasty, Ma Tianbao is so ignorant of saving troops and cherishing the officers and soldiers of his subordinates, in Xu Guangyuan's opinion, he is not worthy of being the town commander! However, Li Xubin's Ninth Town fought very well, and with the same effect, at least half of the firepower points of the defenders were forced out, but what made Xu Guangyuan very sad was that the artillery of the Beiyang New Army could not be effectively and accurately suppressed, because the range of the Krupp technology field artillery equipped by the Chinese Empire was two-fifths farther than the British Armstrong field artillery equipped by Beiyang, not to mention the artillery battle, that is, a few artillery shots had to change places, and most of the shells fired by the Beiyang New Army were solid bullets, The expensive flowering bombs were all fired on a ten-to-two basis, and the flowering bombs of Yishui on the Chinese Empire smashed over as if they didn't need money, which directly caused the reserve of Ma Tianbao's eighth town to suffer six or seven hundred casualties.

Zeng Guofan was standing behind Xu Renda, and Zeng Guofan had long expected the failure of the attack on the eighth and ninth towns! But such a fiasco was something Zeng Guofan did not expect.

The stubborn resistance and ferocious firepower of the defenders of the Chinese Empire in Jiangyin caught Zeng Guofan a little off guard, although he had received information that the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire had arrived in Jiangyin, although he learned that the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire had arrived in Jiangyin, Zeng Guofan still ordered the eighth and ninth towns to attack, and the disobedient children should suffer a little! This is what Zeng Guofan has always done.

Lin Haijiang was in the front enemy command post of the Hangzhou Command Headquarters and carefully reviewed the information gathered from all directions, it can be said that all the military operations of the Russian army and the Beiyang New Army were under his control, the imperial head of the division occupied the Wucheng Temple outside the city of Changzhou, all two battalions of field artillery had been moved to the top of the mountain, the seven trenches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain were all dug up, and a large number of mines were buried irregularly.

1862 was an eventful year for the land of China, and the Qing Dynasty let the Russians, who were even worse than the bandits, come in and go to the south to fight the long hair and fight the forest rebellion! As a result, the country was shaken and upset from top to bottom.

Zeng Guofan was calculating the number of troops that the Chinese Empire in Jiangyin could use, and those cannonballs that hit the shore from the river as if they didn't need money made Zeng Guofan doubt his previous judgment? Won't the Chinese Empire have stockpiled shells at the Jiangyin dock anymore? Do their gunboats have to go back to Shanghai to replenish? Now, the Beiyang New Army, not to mention attacking Jiangyin, feels extremely headache and helplessness when they see Jiangyin.

This wasn't the city they knew before? No one would believe that more than 10,000 people have been digging frantically for more than 40 days, and they will dig out something, and now the only thing that can be determined is that Jiangyin has become a fortress city, if it is attacked, I am afraid that the people of the three towns of eight, nine, and ten will not be enough to see.

Zeng Guofan knew very well that once the strength of the Chinese Empire was reduced to a regiment for defense, then no matter who it was, it would not be able to shake half of it, and the reality was very cruel! Although the attack of the eighth and ninth towns exposed some firepower points in Jiangyin, both Zeng Guofan and Xu Guangyuan below knew that Jiangyin had become as solid as a fortress, and the exposed firepower points could only be a small part of them!

For the Beiyang New Army, Jiangyin now seems to have become unattainable, even if there are many deaths, they can only add martial arts to their enemies, unless they can defeat the river fleet of the Chinese Empire on the river and make Jiangyin an isolated city, it is extremely unwise to attack from the land with troops alone, this is an extremely unwise choice!

At this time, Lin Haijiang unexpectedly received a report that the two ships Zhenyuan and Dingyuan had been refitted and repaired, so Lin Haijiang was somewhat excited, if Zhenyuan and Dingyuan entered Shanghai to support the battle with naval guns, what kind of scene would it be? So Lin Haijiang hurried back to the Guangzhou shipyard.

Looking at the clothes drying on the side of the Zhenyuan ship, Jia Wuji's face was not very good-looking, he came to inspect the Pacific Fleet in Zhanyang today, but he didn't expect the Führer to return from the front line in person.

Lin Haijiang saw that Jia Wuji looked anxious, so he smiled slightly and said, "What are you anxious about?" It is a very normal fact that the guns and cannons say that they are drying clothes, because when the Führer comes, he will let the officers and men of the whole ship sleep in the tide clothes and bedding in the next week? What kind of logic is this? Do you do superficial work? You're too far from doing this! ”

Lin Haijiang smiled and boarded the Zhenyuan ship, Jia Wuji followed behind his ass and refused to say a word, Tang Ziqiang, as the commander of the first detachment of the Pacific Fleet, followed behind Lin Haijiang without saying a word, Tang Ziqiang's qualifications in the imperial navy are not shallow, except for a few old people who came back from the Mediterranean Sea and Lin Haijiang, most of the other veterans are not as high as Tang Ziqiang's group of international students, but many people are self-aware, and they never make noise about it, after all, the navy is related to the lifeblood of the empire, This is not a question of the level of military rank and power, he is not capable, but he has to control it, and as a result, he dies and the country dies, and no one dares to take it lightly.

However, Tang Ziqiang is different, he wants to have qualifications and qualifications, and he has the ability and ability, and now he is naturally unhappy when he is pressed by Zhanyang's volley, but Lin Haijiang also promised him before, and the position of the commander of the Imperial Navy's home fleet is left to him, although it is a shadowless thing at the moment, but Lin Haijiang has always done what he says, so Tang Ziqiang has been paying special attention to Zhanyang's every move recently, he wants to learn some lessons from Zhanyang's shortcomings, a smart person is to watch others fall and learn to dodge, not himself!

Lin Haijiang looked at the 360 mm and 30 times the caliber twin naval guns manufactured by the Hainan Gun and Artillery Branch of the Krupp Technology Empire of Zhenyuan Ship, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while, and when he turned around, he found that some sailors were packing up their clothes, Lin Haijiang waved his hand and said: "In addition to wiping the weapons, the rest is to dry the clothes, and I order to continue drying!" ”

The sailors naturally had to obey the direct orders of the N-level head of state, and hung up their clothes back with a strong force, while Jia Wuji hid at the door of the cabin with a red face and was hesitating whether to go out, or to go out on the other side?

This drying of clothes reminded Lin Haijiang of the fact that later generations of Chinese people slandered the Beiyang Fleet, saying that the fact that the Beiyang Navy Togo Heihachiro found that the Beiyang Navy was drying clothes on the barrels of the main guns of the Dingyuan ship shows that military discipline is lax, and Lin Haijiang has seen the master of a large ship, since the Beiyang Navy, until the end of the 20th century, the combat ships of the Chinese Navy have still not been able to exceed the tonnage of the two ships, so the imagination of later generations is very simple.

As everyone knows, the main gun of the Dingyuan ship is 305 mm caliber, and the barrel is forged repeatedly, and the 305 mm caliber main gun equipped with the Dingyuan ship belongs to the old frame back gun.

How difficult it is to climb to a short thick pillar 3 meters above the ground, less than 2 meters in length, and nearly half a meter in diameter to dry clothes, and even the slightest accident may happen from a high place, and the terrible thing that endangers your life may occur! On the Dingyuan ship, both the railings and the canopy pillars are equipment that can be used to dry clothes, and even if the military discipline of the officers and men of the Beiyang Fleet is really sloppy, the officers and men are extremely stupid, and it seems that it is impossible to pay the price of their lives in order to dry a few clothes? Lin Haijiang believed in Fang's statement, and Togo Heihachiro found that the main gun chamber of the Dingyuan ship was covered with dust and no one wiped it!

The overall base of the Zhenyuan ship in front of him, and its 360 mm caliber twin naval guns are nearly three and a half meters away from the deck even at a horizontal angle, which shows how powerful the later generations have been false!

All ships of the Pacific Fleet were refurbished on a large scale according to the plan, according to the standards of the Imperial Admiralty, heavy cruisers with a standard displacement of more than 5,000 tons, weighing heavy cruisers with a standard displacement of more than 5,000 tons, light cruisers with a standard displacement of less than 5,000 tons, and light cruisers with a standard displacement of more than 2,000 tons, and all ships below 2,000 tons! This so-called standard formulated by Lin Haijiang himself later caused a lot of misery!

As the first main fleet of the Chinese Empire, the Pacific Fleet is naturally always worried about Lin Haijiang, who has coordinated with the Imperial Geological Engineering Department, and the main task of the Pacific Fleet in the next step is to organize and conduct drills, and take the exploration personnel of the Geological Engineering Department to survey several large gold mines in Southeast Asia in the future, and make preliminary preparations for mining.

In fact, in Lin Haijiang's plan, once the Imperial Army began to carry out a general attack from Hangzhou on June 24, 1862, the Russian siege of Shanghai would naturally melt away!

So how effective can the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan warships play after they arrive in Shanghai? I'm afraid Lin Haijiang knows very well that its greatest effect is to make the head of the empire arrive at the front line very safely!

In the Fang Guohua telescope above the main position of the Wucheng Temple outside the city of Changzhou, the Qing army scouts who were constantly shot and fell off their horses have been constantly testing since the afternoon, as if they want to find out how many troops this Lin rebel bandit army that suddenly appeared in the Wucheng Temple.

When Zeng Guofan learned that an army of the Chinese Empire had appeared in the Wucheng Temple outside Changzhou, he was speechless in surprise......
