Chapter 345: Street Fighting
When Hong Xuanjiao heard this, she was immediately unhappy: "What a stingy ghost, such an important newspaper is reluctant to invest money?" I don't know what he thinks, I'll have to talk about him when I come back! As he spoke, he pulled Fu Shanxiang again: "Let's go through the small door on the side, it's troublesome to be recognized." ”
"Hmm!" Fu Shanxiang also didn't want to be greeted by a group of enthusiastic people, after all, she was just a woman, although she was ambitious, she was not a courtesan, and in terms of interpersonal communication, she was still a little repulsed by contact with men, so she and Hong Xuanjiao went around to the back, lowered their heads, and walked out quickly.
Huang Tianyuan pastry shop is located in Guanqian Street, not far from the famous Xuanmiaoguan, Hong Xuanjiao and Fu Shanxiang did not take long to go up from the back door of the pastry shop to the private room on the second floor, the guy put on the clear Biluochun, four emerald green meat dumplings, two small bowls of osmanthus wine stuffed Lantern Festival, two small bowls of shrimp noodles, and seasonal cakes in June, such as mung bean cake, mint cake, rice maple cake, etc., breakfast is mainly sweet and glutinous, with a strong local style of Suzhou.
To tell the truth, the table is full of dishes and plates, and the two women obviously eat a lot, but Hong Xuanjiao is a master of dark energy, and the amount of food is not comparable to that of ordinary women, so she immediately peeled off a zongzi and put it in her mouth and greeted: "Well, yes, come and try it, it is an egg yolk and ham dumpling, and it tastes very good." ”
"Okay!" His eyes were full of delicious food, and Fu Shanxiang also opened his sins, so he picked up a zongzi and peeled it.
Through the bamboo curtain of the private room, you can see the hall on the first floor, which is full of diners, and several of them are holding newspapers.
"Read it to everyone, is there any news from the front?"
"Urging what? Am I not watching? Which. Listen, the Black Flag Gang is willing to be a pawn. But he was forced by foreigners to sweep mines, 5,000 people and 200 boats. All of them were blown up and sunk to the bottom of the river, and about a dozen boats were sunk in Chen Village, Shunde."
"Good, it's good to die, it's really happy, good Chinese are inappropriate, go to sell their lives to foreigners, this is the end of traitors and lackeys!"
All of a sudden, the audience applauded, and someone urged: "Tell me quickly." What else? This is the benefit of literacy, I will also sign up for a literacy class tomorrow, I can't read, what a fucking emergency! ”
The man reading the newspaper glanced at it with some pride, took a slow sip of tea, cleared his throat, and read after a full score: "Great news, a 1,500-ton frigate of the British army has been sunk. There were more than 200 officers and men on the ship, and almost no one escaped, haha, this is really good news. It's not easy for the British to die more than 200 times, in the past ten years. Foreigners can fight whoever they want in China, and the majesty is tight. I deserved to run into Commander Wang, come. We use tea instead of wine, and drink together to congratulate it! ”
The atmosphere was suddenly warm, and the cake shop was filled with a strong sense of national pride, and even Hong Xuanjiao and Fu Shanxiang picked up the teacup and touched it lightly.
"War correspondent Wu Guangze reports for you: Jiang Shude, Li Yuchun, Huang Yuanqi and Wu Guangzu, four soldiers of the first battalion and one company of the third brigade of the third division of the first army of the army, asked their superiors for orders to lurk in the crypt to detonate the mine array, they finally found an opportunity to pull the mine in the hot and humid environment, and finally found an opportunity to pull the mine, and achieved the brilliant result of killing and wounding more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, but because the way back was cut off by the remnants of the enemy, when they saw that they were about to be captured, they sang a military song and pulled a grenade, and they chose to be generous and righteous. Let us always remember the names of these four martyrs, whose spirit will inspire our warriors to fight the enemy to the end."
When this paragraph was read, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed, everyone felt that there was a depression in their chests and did not vomit unpleasantly, and some people even secretly wiped their tears, through the short description of the reporter, it was completely conceivable that the heroic scene at that time.
Fu Shanxiang and Hong Xuanjiao upstairs also sighed, and at this time, the voice of reciting the editorial came from below: "British warships are rampant on the Yangtze River, when will we have our own warships in China?" 》
In the article, he listed the prosperity of the Song Dynasty's ocean-going trade, the great exploits of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty, and then a series of questions, when he arrived in the Qing Dynasty, he was deceived by someone else's gunboat, why is this? Why does history go backwards? When will China regain its glory as it rode the sea during the Song and Ming dynasties?
This manuscript sparked heated discussions, and everyone was foaming at the mouth, loudly expressing their opinions, and even Fu Shanxiang and Hong Xuanjiao were whispering something.
At this time, the Baoshan front line was already ready to fly, and the atmosphere was tense.
Huishi had only slept for two hours, and his head still had a dull ache, but today he had to launch an attack no matter what, and it was easy to affect morale, and as a commander, he had to command on the spot.
In front of the dock, fifty light cannons were mixed among the 20,000 Indian soldiers, looking ready to go, and Huish immediately waved his hand: "Fire!" ”
"Bang Bang~~" The guns of the four battleships roared in unison, gradually advancing from the open space, playing both a minesweeper and a suppressive firepower, and I saw the black smoke rising one after another, the guns of the three frigates had a range of about eight miles, and the farthest could hit the front of the position, and the front of the position of the Democratic Alliance Army was empty, and the six new naval guns of the Duke of Wellington, with a range of about ten miles, directly dumped the shells into the center of Baoshan.
Don't look at only six cannons, but the threat is great, one building after another collapsed in the artillery fire, some of the soldiers who could not avoid it were directly buried underground, but the Democratic Alliance army could not fight back at all, the whole army only had twelve cannons, the farthest one could only hit five miles, because of the need to avoid the range of the British naval guns, the layout was very backward, and it could only be used when it was critical.
"Alas!" Sheng Xuanhuai sighed: "Wang Feng, it's so aggrieved, it's really uncomfortable to be pressed and beaten, when will we be able to have such artillery!" ”
The surrounding warriors all felt the same way, and they all showed helplessness.
Wang Feng swept his eyes coldly and shouted, "What? Frustrated? How long have we been in the army? It's only been a short year, and the British Navy has become the hegemon of the sea since the Ming Dynasty defeated the Spanish Armada in the sixteenth year of Wanli, and for more than two hundred years, there has not been a defeat, but last year, the British Navy was sunk by us Hermes, and yesterday, a frigate was sunk, and so many people died!
If you think about it, what do we have? We only have fishing boats and snorkels, not to mention the navy, not even a naval division, but we dare to face the overlord on the sea and sink his two warships.
I understand your feelings, but the warships are not in a hurry, we can develop and grow in a year, and we will definitely have a naval force that is unique in the world in the future, the road must be walked step by step, the food must be eaten in one bite, and one day, we will fight the British on the ocean!
Now the British army is bombarding with naval artillery, and we let him bombard, can he continue to bombard? He will always send men to attack, and we will teach the British a hard lesson on the ground! ”
"Yes!" The warriors stood up straight, and an unyielding fighting spirit spread.
Wang Feng nodded slightly and cast his gaze forward.
Under the cover of naval artillery, the British brigade began to move forward, and in modern times, with the greatly increased power of artillery, the tactics of storming and fortress warfare have become relatively simple, nothing more than artillery providing fire cover, and then the infantry pressing on the charge.
In fact, Wang Feng knew that it was obvious that he would suffer a little loss if he was pressed and beaten, but there was no good way, the key was that the British army had four large warships in charge, whether it was attacking from the flank or outflanking the rear road, there was no way to avoid the range of the British warships' artillery, forcing the Democratic Alliance to hold their positions, and while fighting for attrition, they waited for the news that Chen Cun was sent to Suzhou, and then looked for an opportunity to launch a full-scale counteroffensive.
"Bang Bang~~" The sound of artillery suddenly became dense, and the fifty land cannons carried by the British army quickly entered the battle after arriving at the gun position, which was equivalent to sixty-eight guns firing together, forming a relay-type comprehensive fire suppression, which could hit the deeper part of the position.
On the Duke of Wellington, Gilhanga stroked his beard and laughed: "The British army's artillery fire is so fierce, how can the Democratic Alliance army be invincible?" It seems that as late as this autumn, the court should be able to recover all the lost territory. ”
"Hmm!" Wu Wenrong's confidence increased greatly, nodded and said: "I'm afraid I can't wait for the autumn, within a month, the short-haired general will be defeated by the whole army, and the long-haired will be destroyed in time, and the world can be determined!" ”
Wu Jianzhang is broken jar and broken, he has offended Wu Wenrong, and has become the public enemy of the green camp, why bother to stick a hot face to other people's cold butts, immediately turned his head, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huishi, the Democratic Alliance will only play some clever tricks, but it really encounters a hard battle, isn't it?" It's still a dumb fire. ”
"Humph!" Hui Shi also felt a lot more relaxed, and said proudly: "Yiqiē's conspiracy and tricks are helpless in the face of absolute strength, and he ordered to attack!" ”
The herald waved his flag, and the Indian soldiers slowly pressed down.
Since both armies were fully equipped with Mini guns, the era of lining up to shoot guns was gone, and the Indian soldiers were also very scattered, holding guns, walking cautiously forward, almost unable to see the formation.
It's just that Wang Feng didn't move at all, and Yang Shuijiao couldn't help but say: "Wang Feng, let the soldiers enter the trenches quickly, it's too late." ”
"No!" Wang Feng stretched out his hand and waved: "Let them in, holding the position can only attract British artillery fire, which will bring a lot of casualties to the soldiers, only if the dogs are staggered, you have me, I have you, can the British warship guns be bogged down, we have fortifications to rely on, what if you come in?" Street fighting is! (To be continued......)
