At this time, the modern navy is booming in China. ≧ top novels, www.steam, heavy artillery, giant ships, and iron armor have become axioms recognized by everyone in the world! Correct path! For the old Green Camp Water Division, the Manchu Dynasty and the opposition, regardless of the high and low highlands, are all a hundred who are not eye-catching.

Nanao Town, Haitan Town, and the Green Camp Sailor in Kinmen Town are all victims of this 'discrimination'. Over the years, the number of troops in the three towns has been greatly reduced. Taking Haitan Town as an example, Haitan Island, where its main camp is located, originally had three battalions and 2,400 troops, but now only two battalions of 1,000 people are left. If Liu Xian hadn't put the main force of the Marine Corps in Xiamen, he was afraid that with only one brigade of troops landing and fighting, he would be able to easily sweep the entire island of Haitan!

This Xiamen is the town of Kinmen. After the destruction of the Ming Zheng clique in Taiwan, the headquarters of Kinmen Town was moved from Kinmen Island to Xiamen. The original town standard middle battalion, the left, right, front and back four battalions, plus the Kinmen Association, the Tongshan Water Division Battalion, the Meizhou Water Division Battalion, etc., a total of more than 4,000 people. But now? After the layoffs were cut and the withdrawals were withdrawn, there were only more than 2,000 ding left in the entire Kinmen Town.

When the Qin warships appeared in the sea off Kinmen Island, the commander-in-chief Xu Songyun ordered the men of Kinmen Island to retreat into Xiamen without even fighting.

And when the Qin army continued to march towards Xiamen, the 2,000 troops in Kinmen Town, and the fault was not a battalion of Chu troops on the island, and they were afraid that as soon as the cannon sounded, they all lost their guns and abandoned their armor and fled.

Shi Qingyan led the Yangwei, Anhai, and two gunboats from Zhennan and Zhenbei to Kinmen, and after taking Kinmen Island without bloodshed, they did not rush to Xiamen Island in one go, but now Kinmen Island has been settled.

The matter of "destroying this dynasty eclipse" rarely happened to the Qin army. Liu Xian Lijun has developed all the way to today. A large part of Cheng Dù relied on his 'golden finger', which can be described as 'god' on the battlefield. Therefore, the generals under him have not undergone much tempering. He also formed the habit of strictly obeying orders. By the end of the Western Expedition, the development of the Qin army's armament was gradually improved. The tactical changes began to show their power, and the Qin army relied more on 'step-by-step'. As long as I don't make mistakes and take one step at a time, I can crush the enemy to death!

Shi Qingyan and Jiao Wenbin are 'doing things step by step'. Let's lay the foundation first, and then clean up Xiamen Island.

When Liu Xian gave them the order, he said that there was no need to rush the battle of Xiamen. There is a battalion of the Chu army on that island, which is steady and steady, and it is necessary and beneficial for the Qin army to measure the real combat strength of the Chu army. But only victory, not defeat!

And in the eyes of Shi Qingyan and Jiao Wenbin. In this Xiamen, there is not only a Chu army at the head of a battalion, but also many foreigners, merchants, consuls, and missionaries, with a total of 1,200 people. These people are also a nuisance!

Therefore, after seizing Kinmen Island, he asked people to spread the word to the foreigners on the island that Xiamen Island had become a combat zone, and hoped that the foreigners would gather in the consulates of their own countries and other countries. Don't scatter it elsewhere to avoid being swept away by guns. In that case, Qin Jun would not be responsible.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in Xiamen. The house was empty, but the underground was bustling. More than a dozen people gathered together. Carrying an oil lamp, he was talking and laughing.

"Not responsible! I'm not responsible. This is hard and relieving! ”

"The whole of China is just our Hou ......, who is a handsome man who can say such tough words. Look at the Tartars of Beijing. With Zuo Li and the two, dare to talk like this? ”

"That's the atmosphere. Our Qin army is not even afraid of foreigners, we are afraid of Beijing's pigtailed army......"

Among the dozen or so people who spoke. The oldest was not more than forty years old, and the youngest seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Except for the two people inside, there was a braid hanging from the back of their heads. The others were all bald-headed, with only short stubbles on the top of their heads.

After a burst of admiration. The eldest head of the Xiamen Station of the Military Intelligence Department said with emotion: "I thought that I would continue to work in the Military Intelligence Department in this life." Thinking about when I could mention the stationmaster of the third-level station to the first-level station, I stopped. I never thought that when I turned around, I would become a county master......"

As a third-level intelligence station under the Military Intelligence Department, the status of the Xiamen station is not high. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the status of military attachés soared, and although the secret spy organization of the Military Intelligence Department could not see the light, everyone had a sense of arrogance. I think it's not much worse than the brocade guards of the former Ming Dynasty. The third-level intelligence station, which is also the rank of major, has changed to a county official, and the station commander always feels that he has lost money......

Of course, no matter how much he loses, he doesn't dare to say half a word! He was appointed to the post of Xiamen county magistrate.

And when all the personnel of the Xiamen Station of the Military Intelligence Department were huddled in one place, waiting for the shells to fall on their heads, Xu Songyun, the chief soldier of Kinmen Town, was already lying on the bed. He's not resting, but he's really sick.

The corrupt Green Camp will pit him hard, and he will be killed. In the logistics materials of Kinmen Town, hundreds of tons of cement and a large number of steel bars were originally used to consolidate the fort, but now when Xu Songyun was in need, he found that all the cement had turned into sand, and the steel bars were all gone.

Xu Songyun was hit on the head, deaf and dizzy, and the whole person may have been caused by high blood pressure, so he fell directly on the bed. The defense of Xiamen was entrusted by him to Gao Zhan, the deputy general of the Golden Gate Association.

At this time, Gao Zhan and Rong Dahai, the general of the Chu army, were nervously urging their soldiers to dig trenches.

Using the tactics of the Qin army to deal with the Qin army, they could only do so when the artillery fire was completely weak. But both men have weak confidence in holding Xiamen Island.

Xiamen is an island, and as a port for opening a port, the wharf is indispensable. The Qin army had an absolute superiority in sea power, and it could land lightly. And then, with the cooperation of naval artillery, take down a few civil trenches and fortresses, isn't it a piece of cake?

Last year, the Qin army fought against the Praetorian Guards in Beijing, and Gao Zhan and Rong Dahai knew it.

"Even if he is invincible, Rong should do his best to repay Zuo Gong's kindness." Rong Dahai is determined to fight for the honor of the Chu army, and he also hopes to rely on this battle to truly measure the gap between the two armies. He felt that this would be of great benefit to Zuo Zongtang and the future Chu army.

"Boom-"

After a day and two nights, the battle officially began.

Shells baptized the offensive arranged by the defenders on the docks. The Anhai, carrying two squadrons of marines, rushed to the dock.

One mile, three hundred meters......

Bullets and shells from the defenders returning fire began to hit the Anhai. But except for knocking off some of the Anhai's external paint skin, it can't penetrate the Anhai's protective iron armor at all.

"Dada......"

Two heavy machine guns fired wildly. The sound of machine guns was accompanied by the shouts of the officers "attack, attack-".

Half of the strength of the two squadrons remained at the dock to build positions, and the other half were scattered into squads, like more than a dozen twisting black lines, zigzagically approaching the defenders' positions.

"Hit!" Rong Dae snapped the revolver in his hand. This gun is made in Qinnan as a standard, and even the battalion leader under Rong Dahai, all the weapons in the hands of more than 700 people are made in Qinnan.

It's just that after the baptism of artillery fire, the Chu soldiers of the Kinmen Green Battalion, a battalion of one battalion and three teams of soldiers in the front-line position, have now lost a small twenty percent. The rotten green battalion soldiers had not yet 'woken up' from their panic, and Rong Dahai gave an order, and it was still more than 200 Chu soldiers who pulled the bolt.

"Pop ......" firecrackers-like gunshots came and went. But what about the effect of shooting? On the other side, the Chu army either lowered their bodies and continued to move forward, or they lay on the ground and shot back, or they hid behind cover. The Chu army's bullets hit very loudly, but the effect was small, but the Chu soldiers who leaned out were repeatedly torn to pieces by the machine gun bullets fired from the opposite side during the shooting.

Every Marine Corps soldier has no less than 300 rounds of target shooting experience. The bandits in Guangxi have been swept away by the Qin army in recent years. The most outstanding of the Qin army's more than 100,000 troops, although the marine brigade in front of him has no experience in fighting in Japan, a considerable number of soldiers are also veterans of the Sino-French war.

Accurate marksmanship.

Shots from the offensive repeatedly hit the enemy. In just three or five minutes, the Chu army's counterattack force became much smaller. Combined with the strafing of machine-gun bullets, at least forty Chu soldiers were killed and wounded.

Rong Dahai's face is really changing color at this moment!

"Bang!"

Soon, the mortar group of the landing pier began shelling. Compared with naval artillery, the power of mortars is, of course, very weak. However, it has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, and can provide direct fire cover for the attacking Qin soldiers.

"Kill—"

When the Qin soldiers of the second squadron entered the battle, when the heavy machine guns behind the Qin army changed from two to four, and when the mortars changed from four to six, the defenders' defense line was completely overwhelmed.

Rong Dahai had thought about pulling the remaining Chu troops up. But the powerful combat power and firepower of the watch Xiàn finally dispelled his thoughts.

Xiamen is still big. This is only the first front, and there is a second and a third one after that. If he fights all his battalion heads here, then Xiamen Island will not be able to raise the red flag of the Qin army by tomorrow.

……

Top floor of the Consulate of Japan in Xiamen.

Two Japanese men in civilian clothes are watching the battle in the dock area with binoculars.

Both of them had gloomy faces.

……

British Consulate in Xiamen.

A British Army major was raving about the tactics of the Qin army. "Nice offense, nice fit. This is a completely new tactic, a novel tactic! ”

In addition, there are France, Germany, the United States......

No one would give up this great opportunity to understand the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

The cruelty and bloodshed of the war will allow the combat effectiveness of the Qin army to be fully displayed in this battle.

United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, United States......

Military observer missions from 11 countries around the world are on their way to China.

Liu Xian's victory over Russia and France, and the Dutch colonial army that his apprentices could fight all over the place, all turned into world-renowned prestige. He was the first yellow man to triumph over the whites.

Now this prestige is fermenting violently...... (To be continued......) R527
