After all the battles were over, the Huaxia troops cleaned up the battlefield and found that they had destroyed 50 cars of the Qing automobile soldiers, killed more than 180 Qing automobile soldiers, and captured 10 people.

The ten captives were all Americans, and none of the soldiers of the armored truck unit knew English, so the surrendered Americans were sent to Wei Zelong's headquarters, and Wei Zelong was surprised and delighted when he heard that the Americans had been captured, and hurriedly asked people to find interpreters and began to interrogate those Americans.

Wei Zelong personally interrogated the American commander, and he was very honest and did not hesitate or resist in the face of Wei Zelong's questioning.

The whole of China knew very little about the situation of the Qing automobile soldiers, so Wei Zelong first asked: "How many people and equipment are there in the entire Qing automobile soldiers?" ”

"We have a total of 200 cars, each car can carry four people, so the number of combatants is about 800 people, counting all kinds of logistics and supply personnel, the number of automobile troops in the entire Qing country is about 1,000 people."

Wei Zelong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you get two hundred cars, so many cars?" ”

"Your country has twice set off a trade war against our country, and our domestic car manufacturers have squeezed a large number of cars, and these cars cannot be sold, so the US government bought them and then sold them to Qing Guo for military use."

"So that's the case, how many Americans are there in the Qingguo automobile soldiers?"

"There are about 200 of them, and basically all the people who drive cars are us Americans."

Wei Zelong asked about the training of the Qing Automobile Corps and so on, and then asked the question he was most concerned about -- where is the garrison of the Qing Automobile Corps?

The American commander hesitated, and he also knew that if he told the Qing Automobile Troops about their stationing, the Qing Automobile Troops would face a fierce rain of shells.

Wei Zelong saw that the American commander didn't want to say it, so he angrily scolded "bastard" and scolded: "Come on, drag this Yankee out and kill me." ”

The American commander hurriedly gave in and honestly stated the location of the Qing Automobile Corps, which was located in a small village called Zhangjiacun on the west side of Shanghai, about three kilometers behind the Qing army's defensive line.

Wei Zelong immediately had maps fetched, and in the two years following the end of the World War in the South Seas, Huaxia sent countless mappers to secretly draw maps of the Qing Kingdom, and in this war, these maps came in handy.

Wei Zelong quickly found the Zhangjia village on the map, and when he saw the location of this village, his eyes lit up, because the village happened to be within the range of the Huaxia Army's firepower.

At this time, the artillery equipment in Wei Zelong's hands included HP-2 75 mm howitzers and HP-3 105 mm howitzers, of which the HP-2 howitzer had a maximum firing range of 5,000 meters under the condition of full charge, and the HP-3 105 mm howitzer had a maximum range of 8,000 meters under the condition of full charge, which could completely hit the small village called Zhangjiacun.

However, Wei Zelong wanted to use artillery to bombard Zhangjia Village, but he was faced with a huge problem, that is, it was difficult to hit the artillery shells accurately, and when the artillery shells hit the target at the maximum range, the error was extremely large, and it was very likely to aim at Zhangjia Village, but the shells fell on Lijia Village and Wangjia Village.

If you want to solve this problem, the only way is to send scouts to correct the shooting for the artillery, but from the Huaxia Army garrison to Zhangjia Village, the Qing army is heavily guarded, although the scouts can be camouflaged and will not be discovered by the Qing army, but it is useless for scouts to go to Zhangjia Village, and the scouts must also carry the Blue Bird machine, so as to get in touch with the artillery position.

The scouts may not be discovered by the Qing army, but how can the Jade Bird machine hide from the Qing army?

Wei Zelong thought about it and thought about it, but he didn't think of a solution, and then Wei Zelong suddenly thought that he could use the airship to correct the shooting for the artillery, or send the airship to bombard Zhangjiacun directly, but at this time, the airship troops were all in Tianjin and had not been transferred to Shanghai.

Wei Zelong thought about it again and again, but decided to send scouts, carrying blue bird planes, close to Zhangjia Village, to correct the shooting of artillery, Wei Zelong handed over this task to the divisional reconnaissance battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion tried to find a way to complete this task.

The Jade Bird machine equipped by the reconnaissance battalion is the Jade Bird No. 3 machine, compared with the Jade Bird No. 2 machine, the No. 3 machine is a lot smaller, at least the generator, battery box, transmitter, antenna and other parts can be disassembled, so that people can carry it on their backs, and for the huge Jade Bird No. 2 and Jade Bird No. 1 machine, such a thing is unimaginable.

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion is named Li Yunzheng, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, and he immediately thought of getting a coffin from a fellow villager, putting the blue bird machine in the coffin, and then pulling the coffin to mix with the Qing army's defense line.

The Chinese people did not have the same long braids as the Qing people, which was easy to expose, so Li Yunzheng came up with a way to stick braids in his hair, hoping to deceive the Qing army in this way.

Everything was ready, Li Yun was leading his subordinates to Zhangjia Village, they were driving a carriage, and a coffin was pulled on the carriage, and the blue bird machine was placed in the coffin.

After walking for more than an hour, the Qing army's defense line appeared in front of him, and several Qing soldiers saw Li Yunzheng and others, and immediately came to stop him, Li Yunzheng hurriedly smiled and said: "The military master is good, we are for the funeral." ”

When the Qing army officer heard Li Yunzheng say blunt official words, he immediately frowned, and said vigilantly: "You are not a local? "The people in Shanghai all speak Shanghainese, and only outsiders speak official dialect, and Li Yun is a native of Nanyang and can't speak Shanghainese at all.

"I'm moving from out of town, and the person in the coffin is my father, please, be generous." Li Yunzheng said as he handed over the silver.

The Qing army officer first took the silver, and then pointed to the coffin and ordered: "Come on, open the coffin and check it." ”

The parts of the blue bird machine were in the coffin, and Li Yunzheng hurriedly smiled: "Master Jun, according to our rules, if the coffin is opened, the dead will become a powerful ghost, and whoever opens the coffin will be entangled." ”

The Qing army officer snorted and sneered, "Tell you, there is an order from above, now the war is tight, all the things of pedestrians must be checked, and the coffin cannot be let go, you don't have to scare me, Lao Tzu has killed a lot of people, and the evil spirit is heavy, and the ghosts dare not get close, come and open the coffin for me." ”

Li Yunzheng has already asked people to nail the coffin to death, if you want to open the coffin, you must pry the nails up, this Qing army does not have iron rods, although they use daggers and machetes, but those things are too thin, if you use them to pry the nails, you have to break them.

Several Qing soldiers were busy around the coffin for a while, but they still couldn't open the coffin, so they looked at the Qing army officer and said, "My lord, this coffin is too difficult to open." ”

Li Yunzheng took the opportunity to say: "Master Jun, if you are a master, let us go, a little heart, you work hard." Li Yunzheng said and stuffed another piece of silver into the hands of the Qing army officer, who took the silver casually, pointed to the coffin and said, "Come on, split the coffin lid for me." ”

Li Yunzheng is so angry, he gave this Qing army officer two pieces of silver, and each time he asked this Qing army officer to come up with a new trick to deal with him, damn it, it's better not to give this silver.

Several Qing soldiers found an axe, stood on the coffin, picked up the axe and split, and split the coffin lid in a few clicks, as soon as the lid was opened, a thick corpse smell sprayed out from inside, so that the Qing soldiers rushed to the ground, and said: "My lord, there are really dead people in this coffin, and it is so rotten that it can't be done." ”

It turned out that Li Yunzheng specially picked up a highly decomposed nameless corpse in order to make it seem real, and put it in the coffin, there are many people who have died of hunger and disease in this era, and it is not difficult to find such a corpse.

The Qing army officer covered his nose with his hand, jumped on the coffin, looked inside, and sure enough, he saw a highly decomposed corpse, his face changed at that time, and he said angrily to Li Yunzheng: "Is this guy your own father, why did he want to bury it like this?" ”

Li Yunzheng smiled bitterly and was speechless, he originally wanted to stuff the silver again, but when he thought about the experience of the previous two times of stuffing the silver, the hand that stretched out to his pocket retracted.

The Qing army officer waved his hand unhappily and let Li Yunzheng and the others pass, Li Yunzheng was very happy, and asked people to catch up the carriage and continue to move forward, but before he could take a few steps, suddenly the Qing army officer roared angrily: "You guys stop me." ”

Li Yunzheng's heart tightened, what was the matter?

Li Yunzheng turned around and smiled: "Master Jun, what's the matter with the little one?" ”

The Qing army officer pointed at Li Yunzheng's subordinates with his hand and shouted, "You...... You...... You, and you, come over to me, show your braids, and show us. ”

Li Yunzheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, the braid was stuck to his hair, once he checked it, he could see it at a glance, how should this be?

The words of the Qing army officer alerted all the Qing soldiers, they took off the guns on their backs one after another, and began to load the bullets, Li Yunzheng did not dare to hesitate any longer, reached out and pulled out a short knife from his waist, stabbed the Qing army officer in the chest, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, exposed, do it." ”

Li Yunzheng took six scouts, they put the guns in the mezzanine next to the coffin, and when they heard Li Yunzheng's words, they took out their guns one after another, these guns are LCF-1 submachine guns, this kind of guns are light and small, and they are already standard equipment for scouts.

The six scouts took out the LCF-1 submachine guns and opened fire on the Qing soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the Qing soldiers were all knocked down, and Li Yunzheng jumped into the carriage with his subordinates and retreated back to his own position in a puff of smoke.

Li Yunzheng was ashamed to come to Wei Zelong, "Our operation failed this time. ”

Wei Zelong smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I've already thought of a way to kill those cars." ”
