Chapter 425: Something That Doesn't Fight!
Liu Xian's remarks against Zhao Tong were actually saying a central meaning -- to make the enemy lose hope of defeating us and to make the enemy lose confidence in defeating us.
Just like the fruit army after the three major battles faced the People's Liberation Army. Just like a million heroes went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and swept thousands of miles away, even if there were one or two flashes of Xiao Zhuge , they couldn't save the overall situation at all!
Liu Xian hoped that he could beat all the enemies such as Xianghuaichu and the enemies of Qiqi into the grandson of the 1949 Aftermath Army. That way, it would be much easier for him to take over the world.
Moreover, Liu Xian has always hoped that his victory over the world is the Jingcong of all the people, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which relied on killing and deterrence. He believed that the military discipline of the Qin army would only be better than the Hunan army in Hunan, and nothing worse.
Therefore, it should not be difficult for the Qin army to gain some popular support. And Liu Xian didn't plan to destroy Confucianism, although he didn't look down on Confucianism for a hundred people|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|www.uuxs.cc|eye. But it will not make the gentry all over the lake and Hunan jump up to defend the famous religion. In this way, we will be able to dig out part of the main vein of the Hunan army from the roots!
'Hey, it's not good that the local forces are too big. If you look at Liangguang and Fujian, Jiangxi, then there is no such trouble as Hunan.
The latter's financial resources are not inferior to Huxiang, and even much stronger. But the influence on politics is much worse. In the past 20 years, Hunan has produced too many famous ministers and generals, and there are countless backbone forces that have seen bloody battles. These people usually have to give three points to the government, they are rich, powerful, and famous, and they are mostly grasshoppers on a rope. With a casual pull, tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang can be organized. The key elements served as officers at all levels, and above them were the upper-level bigwigs and giants of the Huxiang faction. That's a well-organized army!
Such strength can be compared with those wealthy businessmen in Guangdong and Fujian who only have money and have no power.
Now seventy percent of Liu's attention is on Vietnam. If Zhao Tong hadn't ordered someone to send this telegram, Liu Xian would not have made such a tirade.
Really. After finalizing Zhao Tong's call, Liu Xian's eyes turned to the sand table again.
It is a sand table the size of a house, and the official staff officers carefully prepared a model of a 200-mile radius from Hue to Da Nang on the line from Hue to Da Nang on scale, based on a detailed map of the Vietnamese side.
The French have taken Sizhen and are marching towards Fuhai. Its strength was 20,000, three-quarters of which were authentic French soldiers. The rest are indigenous Blue Ribbon soldiers. Equipped with about fifty cannons, there is plenty of ammunition. And on the way from Da Nang to Hue, there were military depots and supply depots along the way. By the time of the Battle of Fuhai, the French army still had 16,700 troops available. ‘
'The commander of the French army was Lieutenant General Radmiró of the French Army. He was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War and was the commander of the Fourth Army of the French Army at that time. ‘
In the introduction of the attendants, and in the eyes of Liu Xian, it was decided whether Vietnam won the Third Franco-Vietnamese War or not, and whether Liu Xian should send troops from Liangguang and other places to reinforce Vietnam -- the Second Battle of Hue -- was launched.
The vanguard of the French army marching towards Fuhai was a regiment plus two artillery companies and an engineer company, as well as two battalions of blue ribbon soldiers, which was calculated to have a strength of about 3,000 men, and the brigade was lined up. That's a lot of power.
The commander is the Army Upper School Pine. Under his command, the French army had just defeated the interception of a Vietnamese unit. Hundreds of corpses, a few artillery pieces and a few flags that had to be blown up on their own initiative. Already more than a dozen worn-out rifles. Every qiē convinced Nesong that the defeat of the Vietnamese was not false.
As a French officer who experienced the Battle of Vinh Long in Ha Tien, Nematsu had a high opinion of the Vietnamese soldiers. So he was confused. How could the Vietnamese soldiers in front of him be so unbeaten?
It's just that the Vietnamese were indeed defeated, but this is undoubted. 'Alright. Let our army continue to move forward, forward-'
Subsequently, for the rest of the day. The previous forces led by Ne Song again defeated three Vietnamese resistances. The number of Vietnamese troops is increasing, but Nesong does not feel the strength of the Vietnamese army. And he also had a clear answer to the sudden change in the Vietnamese army. These Vietnamese units are the old army!
It wasn't until the troops arrived in Fuhai that Uchimatsu met real resistance. Vietnamese soldiers hid in trenches, and rows of French soldiers were knocked down. A feeling of encountering an opponent rose in Nematsu's heart as soon as the guns rang out.
Two artillery batteries of the French army were of great help to Nesong. The training and quality of the French artillery was significantly higher than that of the Vietnamese gunners, and in less than 15 minutes from the time the two armies engaged in the battle to the time they opened fire, the shells of the French artillery batteries fell on the heads of the Vietnamese positions, which had been carved out in the woods. After another five minutes, all four Vietnamese guns were silent.
The two artillery batteries of the French army had twelve cannons, and the Vietnamese positions they hit could not raise their heads. However, the Vietnamese army fought to the death and did not retreat, and the two heavy machine guns were also blown into countless parts by artillery fire, and the Vietnamese army was still dead in the position.
Although the battle was a little unsmooth, Nesong excitedly reported to the main force behind him, Lieutenant General Radmiro, that he had encountered the real Vietnamese army. Radmiro then ordered the French to speed up their march towards Fuhai.
No one's brain is stupid. The French naturally knew that the Vietnamese would not surrender unless they were completely defeated and defeated. Moreover, the Qin army in Beiqi is rushing towards Zhongqi, and Radmiro wants to deal a heavy blow to the new Vietnamese army before the Qin army can be more defeated!
……
A battlefield filled with gunpowder.
Tens of thousands of people fought around the small number of Fuhai City. Phuoc Hai, a small county town that was not very conspicuous in peacetime, will definitely be honored to be forever engraved in the history of Vietnam because of the significance of the two Hue battles before and after.
'Your Excellency! The Blue Dog Soldiers have already rushed from the right flank! Ding Hong pointed to the east and shouted at Ruan Phuc Xin.
Nguyen Phuc Xin turned his head to see that when the French army, which was about the same as a battalion in front of him, was in full swing, four or five hundred blue leading soldiers had already rushed to the position on the right flank under the cover of French artillery fire. The troops stationed there were in a state of disarray.
Ruan Fuxin put all his thoughts on the front just now, and didn't notice the situation on the two wings, and now he just wants to scold his mother when he sees that he is really angry. 'Huang Linchun, you bastard! The chaotic right wing was beaten by four or five hundred blue leaders, and it was about to be unable to hold it in the blink of an eye.
And the vibration of the right flank obviously affected the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the front position, and Nguyen Phuc Xin's eyes widened with anger, "Why don't you resist these bastard things?" Huang Jiyan didn't know how to lead the troops, so he gave way early. Promote some garbage up, just let the mouth cannon, it's really a grass chicken!
Wu Chuanchao, the position will be handed over to you.
Guards, 2nd and 3rd Squadrons of the 2nd Brigade, follow me! Get those blue dog soldiers down for me! ‘
Ruan Phuc Xin speaks unscrupulously, and he can fight desperately. Personally holding a rifle with a bayonet on it, he led two or three hundred men to reinforce the right flank. 'We are the Praetorian Guard, and we must show the majesty of the Praetorian Guard!' The country raises soldiers for a thousand days, and the use of soldiers is at this time! ‘
No wonder it's so bullish. It turned out that the word Fu in the name was not to put gold on his face, but that Ruan Phuc Xin was really the prince and grandson of the Ruan Dynasty.
The 5,000 forbidden troops in Hue City, if it is said that at the beginning, some of the military power was scattered in the hands of foreign surnames. But when the number of people was expanded from 3,000 to 5,000, and Emperor Duc was completely supported by Liu Xian, all the generals above the brigade level were all members of the royal family of the Ruan Dynasty.
Anyway, the Ruan family has been in existence for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of side branches of the royal family, some of whom are people.
It is really not enough to say that among the close relatives of the royal family or these princes and grandsons who still have princes and princes on their heads, they can choose a dozen or twenty people who can endure hardships and lead the troops. But if you want to select a dozen or twenty loyal and brave talents who can endure hardships from the side branches of the royal family, it can still be done!
Nguyen Phuc Tan is one of them. Two years ago, he didn't have this blessing in his name, but as he rose to prominence in the forbidden army, Emperor Side personally improved him to the royal family's close relatives. Therefore, for the Nguyen Dynasty, Nguyen Phuoc Yen has a hundred loyalty, and for the French who are going to die in the world of the Ruan family, he hates it to the extreme!
Nguyen Phuc Xin, with more than two hundred soldiers, let out a huge roar and pounced on the blue ribbon soldiers.
Hundreds of people of thousands of people fought hand-to-hand, and it was very cruel to fight.
The two sides became entangled, and the superior artillery of the French army immediately lost its effect. At this time, soldiers rely more on good training and bravery.
The former, the Blue Ribbon and the Vietnamese New Army are not strong. In the latter, the Vietnamese officers and soldiers are much higher than the blue ribbon soldiers.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the bayonets flashed with a chilling white light, and from time to time someone fell down with a scream in the fight, and the blood stained the dark soil purple and black, and the right flank position immediately turned into a hell on earth.
The blue belt soldiers, who were scolded by the Vietnamese as blue dog soldiers, first couldn't stand their strength, they slowly fell backwards, and then turned their butts and fled in a swarm.
The Vietnamese New Army, which had won a hand-to-hand battle, including Nguyen Phuc Sin, rushed into the nearest trench after a short cheer. One shell after another has already fallen on the position.
War is the best textbook.
Whether it is the Praetorian Guard led by Nguyen Phuc Xin, or the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Governor Hoang Ji Yan of the New Army guarding between Da Nang and Hue. These Vietnamese soldiers, who lacked experience in modern warfare, were growing rapidly in the war and rapidly absorbing the knowledge they had learned on the training ground.
This scene is the best proof of this!
Behind the position, Huang Jiyan, who personally supervised the battle, shouted hello, "Come on, give Ruan Fuxin a great credit." Today's ability to protect the position is not lost, and he is indispensable! ”
"Pull down this thing that abandoned the army and fled and escaped from the battle to Bendu!"
Not far from Huang Jiyan, a young officer under the age of 30 was tied up and pressed to the ground. Huang Jiyan didn't even give him, the nephew of the same sect, a chance to speak, and with a flick of his hand, a head was soon presented.
"Pass the lead to the armies to set an example!"
It was not until the French offensive came to an end and Huang Jiyan returned to the rear headquarters that he hated and scolded 'something that is not angry'. What do you say you run? Tomorrow afternoon, the Heavenly Soldiers will be there...... (To be continued......) R1292
