The general attack of the Qin army on Dagu came quickly and suddenly.

On the night of the day when the military grain city was taken, many 120 and 105 heavy artillery pieces had just been transferred back to Tanggu from the military grain city, and Liu Xian resolutely issued an order for a general attack on Dagu.

That night, the Qin warships continued to appear in the sea at the mouth of Dagu, but the first to fire was the artillery position of the Qin army in Tanggu on the back side of Dagu.

More than 100 cannons, nearly half of which were heavy guns with a caliber of more than 100mm, bombarded with all their might, and the flames simply stained the night sky red.

Jia Shen'a, who was assigned to the front line by Cheng Baofa, was sharpening his saber with the bricks and stones in the ruins, and behind him was a splendid green dragon flag with a yellow background, which was the military flag of the Eight Banners New Army.

Jia Shen'a, he is a disciple of the Niu Co Lu clan, while watching the official rise all the way to the deputy capital, but the battlefield has not even been touched, compared with Chengbao, Erhe and other monks and the relics of the Lingqin family, she is as tender as a delicate lady. But now-you-you-you-small-say-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-he has to come to this precarious place, otherwise Cheng Bao wouldn't dare to really kill him, and Duolong, who was standing behind Cheng Bao, could kill.

He sharpened his saber, hoping that this treasure knife left by the old ancestor from the time of Qianlong could bring him martial luck. Suddenly, there was a roar in his ears, and when he raised his head, a puff of dust and smoke rose from the Qin army's position in the distance, and almost at the same time, the familiar scream of the cannonball broke through the air!

Before he could give the order, he was lifted high by a wave of air and slammed on the ground, and his whole body was numb, and he saw that his position was filled with gunsmoke, and his Qing soldiers were hiding in panic, and then the two Goshha stumbled over, opening their mouths wide but saying something but not hearing clearly.

The first round of the Qin artillery broke the battle flags of the Qing positions. The overwhelming artillery fire made Jia Shen'a feel bad.

With great effort, he pulled away the two goshkhas who had fallen on top of him, and staggered to his feet, "Two scraps." Don't hurry up and help me go to the anti-artillery hole. There's a fart to press on the master. One shot came down, and all three of us were dead in the mud. Then he nagged and scolded Qin Jun again.

He knew that the military food city was only lost this morning. It stands to reason that the Qin army will have to rest for a day or two before attacking Dagu, but I didn't expect to attack Dagu in the evening after fighting the military grain city in the early morning.

This cannon smashed down, and no one showed up in the Qing army's positions along the river.

After a loud scolding, his ears regained some hearing, and the two goshkha were dragged into a bombshell hole, where the sound of crying, moaning, and wailing could be heard.

Is Jia Shena afraid of death? Afraid. But he will not surrender.

The war has been fought until now. Although there were not a few surrenders among the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty also had a portrait. However, the deputy commanders and generals of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and other high-level figures surrendered very rarely.

Striding over with the severe pain all over his body, Jia Shen'a picked up a Eight Banner officer who was wiping his tears and shouted: "Cry your mother's fart, your Ama is not dead yet, why are you crying!?" "This man is a nephew of Jiashen'a." Straighten my waist for Lao Tzu. After a while, the two of us will die on this position, and we will not be embarrassed by our Niu Colu clan. ”

It's a pity that Jia Shen'a's nephew not only has the same greed for life and fear of death as Jia Shen'a, but also lacks Jia Shen'a's commitment and dedication to the ancestors of the family's lintel. He stared at his uncle with wide eyes in horror, and couldn't say a word after opening his mouth wide.

The sound of cannon fire outside the cave faded away, and the dust falling overhead slowly decreased. Sporadic gunshots reached everyone's ears.

"It's a man, let's go with Lao Tzu!"

Jia Shen's roar made everyone in the cave come back to their senses, only to see Jia Shen'a looking at everyone with a knife, no one of them did anything to delay, they all carried guns, endured fear, and drilled out of the anti-artillery hole.

Just when the Qing troops caught up with the position, a pontoon bridge composed of five rafts had been erected on the river north of Dagukou. Groups of Qin soldiers rushed onto the pontoon bridge and, under the cover of artillery fire, attacked towards the south bank.

Jiashen'a is really the northernmost position of the Qing army, right on the river. Those Qing soldiers who managed to escape the shelling, under the suppression of heavy machine guns, mortars and 54 guns and 75 guns, were simply pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, except for death, or a death!

Jiashen's nephew was not injured because the two henchmen Goshha beside Jiashena dragged him behind.

"Put your clothes on. Take this pistol and go back to Beijing. When I got home, I told you Ama and Eniang, and quickly packed up and went to Shanxi. So far, he has been incognito and has lived in peace.

Don't even think about it. You will be Han Chinese from now on! ”

Jia Shen'a himself will not run away again. If you run away again, you will insult the spirit of your ancestors in the sky. But he won't watch his nephew die with him in vain.

Similarly, Jia Shen'a doesn't feel that 'I have a big Qing' day to make a comeback.

Jia Shen'a's nephew was actually stunned for a long time. The battlefield is full of blood, blood everywhere! He'd never seen so much blood in his life!

Whimpered and cried, changed his clothes, and kowtowed three times at Jia Shen'a.

The gunfire fell after a quarter of an hour.

Jia Shen's mouth was still scolding angrily, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and his vitality was disappearing faster and faster. A cold chill filled his body, and three bayonets pierced his chest and abdomen at the same time.

……

"Your Majesty, our army has occupied the first fort in the north. The soldiers are continuing their offensive to the south! ”

The Qin army crossed the river along the river, seized the forward position of the Qing army, and took a ruined-like fort by the way, and the battle report was quickly transmitted to the rear. Although Liu Xian had known it for a long time, he still smiled with joy as if he had heard it for the first time.

"Let's get forward."

Liu Xian did not hesitate. Now that the Qin army has opened a gap, the next thing is to level Dagu in one go. Let the team contribute, Liu Xian is not distressed when he dies, and the pension is much less than that of the countrymen.

……

"Kill—"

Wearing the khaki uniforms of the upright troops, thousands of Japanese soldiers carried rifles with bayonets that were not much shorter than them, and marched quickly towards the Dagu column.

To be able to show their figure in this big battle that determined the world, all the Japanese soldiers of the entire standing team felt honored. Die, they are not afraid! The high salaries and pensions of the Standing Squad [relative to Japan] made them fearless of death. What's more, before this cross-sea expedition, the Qin army had already made a promise that all the families of soldiers, soldiers, and officers in this battle could be naturalized as Chinese nationals, and they would be treated as equals.

This gave the Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death even more energetic.

The little devils who are charging now are full of morale and look at death as if they were home. Let the soldiers of the Qin army who followed them all be surprised by the combat effectiveness of this group of dwarfs at this moment!

As the front-line commander of the Qin army, Zhou Jun did not have a smile on his face at this time. The fighting power of the standing team now makes him feel very uncomfortable. It's a bit like the mood when he won the Russians and the French, Lao Tzu is not weaker than the white-skinned pigs, and this little devil is not weaker than the army of the Celestial Empire.

"God, is this really Japanese?" A British officer opened his mouth wide in shock, "Mike, Mike, I thought what I saw was the elite troops of the Qin army!" ”

"The Japanese are combative. There is nothing wrong with the Empire's thinking! It's the Empire's Army that's wrong, those old things whose brains are as stubborn and hard as stone, it's time for them to retreat. ”

The British officer spoke unscrupulously and rebelliously 'against the grain'. Mike on the side nodded very approvingly. Because both of them belong to the staunch China hardliners. The two of them believed that the British Empire could not give up its special interests in China, and that the privileges of the British Empire in the East were the main components that underpinned the empire on which the sun never set. Those rights would allow the empire to extract great interests in the East that are no weaker than those of Africa. Moreover, the two also insisted that China's strength would have a certain impact on the world hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets.

As we all know, Britain's containment and restraint of China in the East has so far been confined to tiny Japan. That country is a topic that these hardliners on China will never be able to get around when they look at China.

"Heroic Japanese, strong Japanese. With only 200,000 such troops, Japan would be the Empire's most effective helper in containing the evil dragon in the East. Japan is the Empire's best ally in the East! ”

Two middle-ranking officers of the British Army enthusiastically expressed their views in the midst of the artillery fire and red light in the sky of the Dagu battlefield.

One of these two men was named Henry. Evelyn. Wood, now a colonel; The other was a twenty-seven-year-old young major officer, John Brown. French!

……

On the morning of the next day, at ten o'clock, the sound of guns and cannons became sparse on the Dagu battlefield. By twelve o'clock, the sound of gunfire was barely audible. The entire battlefield was the Qin army cleaning the battlefield.

The Zhou army captured 5,000 prisoners, of which 3,000 belonged to the New Army of the Eight Banners, about half of them belonged to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the rest belonged to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Chang Xing'a died in the shelling. It is not clear which part was killed, because it was not the cannon that killed Chang Xing'a, but the mortar.

The cannons of the original Dagu Fort are reasonable.

It is known that many of the cannons stalled not because the cannons were blown up, but because the gun emplacements collapsed.

In the days that followed, the Qing army also organized people to dig up artillery. But the gain is not much. Artillery buried in the rubble is difficult to excavate, and even more difficult to transport. So now it's all cheap Qin Army.

Li Hongzhang gave Dagu a lot of capital. More than a hundred cannons, as long as one-half, or even one-third, can still be used as usual, it is a big bargain. Anyway, with so many captives caught, let them be idle.

……

Outside Beijing, Xiaoliuzhuang.

In a small farmhouse yard. Yuan Shikai, who was just twenty years old, sat in the room, just glancing coldly at his subordinates, all of whom were fierce men, and there was no nervous look on their faces. is just tying up the dagger and bullet box on his body, and from time to time he is running and jumping to check whether his body is neat or not.

Yuan Shikai also had two bright six-wheeled pistols pinned to his waist.

He is now the leader of the special action team under the action section of the Beijing station, which has only been established for a few months! R1152
