Late at night, the moon hangs high in the sky. The silver moonlight shone on the Dong Nai River, and the rippling waves turned into countless silver scales. In the silence of the night, the breeze blows, and the only sound can be heard to the ears of the waves crashing against the bottom of the boat.

On the mast of the iron-hulled cruiser Baswal, lookout Aman Lynch was still on the lookout, keeping an eye on the other side of the river. It was a dark place, and it seemed that there was nothing to be seen, nothing to see. Aman Lynch didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, because in that dark place, deadly killing opportunities could emerge at any time!

As a member of the French Far East Navy, he had seen the Masu with his own eyes. The iron-hulled rolls, the buildings above the deck are almost completely destroyed, and the kind of high-powered weapons of the Chinese, the Basval as an iron-hulled wood-hulled cruiser absolutely cannot afford it.

In the second half of the night, Aman Lynch suddenly saw dozens of flames rushing up from the darkness on the opposite side, and the sharp roar of 'Xiuxiu' reached their ears in the next moment. And then, then the shore positions of the French army fell.

The flames of the rocket explosion lit up half of the sky, and Aman Lynch clearly saw the black shadow one or two hundred meters away from the interior of the position. Obviously, they are the 'secret troops' of the Qin army. In a report to Lieutenant Commander Griesman, the captain of the Baswal, Oman Lynch described how he saw the rocket go through the air. "The flames are like rockets, but the trajectory is stable, and it doesn't seem to be like Hale rockets. It is extremely powerful, and has a fire-ignition effect when it explodes. ”

Oman Lynch's words were confirmed by the remaining soldiers of the position, and the gunpowder used by the Chinese army was strange, not only powerful, but also obviously ignited after the explosion. It also emits yellow toxic fumes.

Anyway, the riverside position that the French army had worked so hard to build collapsed after a wave of storms.

Two companies of regular French soldiers, plus hundreds of 'mercenaries' urgently recruited, and more than 600 blue ribbons. The contingent of more than 1,000 men withdrew less than half from the other side. In addition, the loss of positions along the river made the situation of the French Far East Fleet in the Tongnai River unprecedentedly dangerous.

As the acting commander of the fleet, Lieutenant Commander Griesman did not immediately command the fleet to retreat, but immediately ordered the seven warships to operate at full strength. Unleashed a fierce bombardment without direction in the direction where the Qin army had disappeared.

An observation post set up by the Qin army not far from the position along the river was hit by a shell, and the sandbag wall of the entire outpost was like a piece of paper, blown into the sky by the huge explosive power of the shell.

But this does not hide the fact that the French had to retreat after dawn. Because of the dilapidated positions along the river, and the 'trembling' and 'demoralization' of the defenders. It's obviously impossible to hold on here. As soon as the morning dawned, the remaining French troops and blue ribbon soldiers on the position returned to the opposite shore under the help of small steamers and small steamboats. And at dusk that day, seven French warships, led by the Basval, sounded their whistles and sailed down the Dong Nai River to Saigon downstream. In the Tongnai River outside the city, there were only a dozen or so small steamships left.

And then that night. After the Qin army destroyed six small steamers roaming the surface of the Tongnai River with the firing of thirteen rockets, they got up early the next morning to look again. The entire surface of the Tongnai River is as clean as a mirror. The small steamers that smoked to and fro in the Tongnai River were no longer to be seen.

The Qin army crossed the Tongnai River smoothly. Four or five thousand men launched an attack posture, but they did not start.

Liu Xian convened an all-army meeting. In addition to the officers above the rank of the Qin Army's brigade, the Vietnamese Army also had Wu Xuanjia and four leading generals in attendance. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is the duty of my generation of warriors. That is, to defend the homeland and the country, and now it is time to prove it. The adults of the two countries negotiating in Guangzhou are waiting for our good news. I hope that we will lay down the border and push the battle line to the city of Saigon. What does it mean. We all have a scale in our hearts, and we all know the weight.

It's just that this battle is not a field battle, it's useless to fight bayonets, everyone has to use their lives to pad. Therefore, I would like to emphasize battlefield discipline, and if there is any fear of the enemy and retreat under military orders, and there are those who disobey orders and do not respect them, the military discipline will be immediately enforced by the generals of all units. After this battle was fought, the French had to return the land they had encroached upon in Vietnam. Those red-haired and green-eyed foreign devils in Europa will never dare to underestimate me China again——"

"Wait, are you willing to fight to the death?"

This is not the first time that the Qin army has fought against foreign devils, but it is the first time that it has fought a tough battle. Foreign devils defend, let's attack. The love between the officers of the Qin Army and the four Vietnamese generals in the tent was very excited, and it could be seen from their eyes that they could not have any fearful feelings.

"Don't worry, sir. I wrote all the suicide notes. ”

"The battle ahead was really tricky, it doesn't count. This battle is a tough one, the troops have been training for so long, Lao Tzu doesn't recognize foreign devils and wins us. ”

"They all carry a head on their shoulders, who is better than whom? Lao Tzu went down with a knife, and he still wanted their lives! ”

……

The officers' eyes were bright, and they did not show the slightest hint of flinching.

Liu Xian actually didn't want to say so much, the meaning of this battle, he believed, the entire army down to a small soldier, all clear. "What we want to play with is our numerical advantage. As long as we can blow up a hole and we can rush into the city, our troops are several times larger than the French, and there is no reason why we can't win and win.

Therefore, once the various troops blow up a gap, they do not have to wait for other troops to follow, but immediately break into the fortress to fight. The other troops were as able to split up and blast through the walls and rush into battle. And don't give up your own offensive line and think of other breakthroughs to attack. We have a lot of people, and under the attack from multiple directions, the enemy will take care of one and lose the other, so the opportunity is greater. ”

The only thing that the Qin army and the Vietnamese army lacked was heavy artillery. Therefore, what can be counted on in the fire cover is still the rockets of Team Rocket. Now there are only more than 130 ready-made products in Cao Huailiang's hands.

Just when Liu Xian was holding the last military meeting before the war, a person outside the tent hurriedly came in and reported, "Report to the military gate, the French army is sending troops to attack us." ”

There was no more news than this to surprise the people in the tent. Aren't the previous lessons enough? Or is it that the Spanish soldiers in the hands of the French are too hot? Actually took the initiative to attack?

"The French are crazy?" Wu Xuanjia jumped up excitedly. In his opinion, it was all about feeding himself. The French are sending their own soldiers to their deaths!

"How many people came?" Liu Xian couldn't believe it, and asked immediately while quickly opening the virtual map. Shortly after the closure, the French were going to give themselves big gifts.

"About six or seven hundred." The man replied. "Six hundred and seventy to be exact!" Thinking silently in his heart, Liu Xian had already mastered the exact number at this time.

"Where are they?"

"It's about three miles away."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the map of Vietnam hanging in the tent.

While he was talking, another person entered the military tent, "At the military gate, the French troops who attacked stopped. They are setting up garrison positions at Bian and Dongguan. ”

Bien Hoa is a big city in Vietnam, but its scale and population are not as large as those of China's capital city, and its four passes in the east, west, north and south are not surrounded by city walls. It was just a four-populated bazaar, defenseless.

When Liu Xian crossed the river, the French army did not leave anyone in Dongguan, and obviously gave up the four passes. Why are you sending troops to guard Dongguan now?

Is there a plan? Or is it a change of day?

Liu Xian carefully looked at the virtual map again, and the total number of French troops in Bianhe City remained unchanged, still 2,000 people, of which the blue belt soldiers still accounted for more than half.

It should be a change of day!

The eyes of the four Vietnamese officers sitting in the column lit up one by one, and they knew best what Bian and Cheng were like. Dongguan had no great defensive value at all, let alone ready-made bunkers for the French army to use.

"Master Hou!" Wu Xuanjia immediately asked for orders, "The last general is willing to lead his subordinates to take the lead and attack Fayi immediately!" ”

"The last general is also willing to be the first!"

"The French are confused, and they will die themselves. Junmen, our brigade is here to fight the vanguard-"

……

In the cry of pleas, Liu Xian was not moved at all. only looked at Cao Huailiang.

"Prepare thirty rounds, hit twenty rounds. General Fan get ready! Then he turned to one of the two representatives of the old Vietnamese army.

"The last general [marked] obeys."

The old army general who got the opportunity smiled and went down with Cao Huailiang.

The French colonel who guarded Bianhe City had no intention of sending troops to defend Dongguan at first. From a military point of view, Dongguan was completely devoid of defensive value. Therefore, after Liu Xian led the army to cross the river, there was no one in the entire border and outside the city. As for why he suddenly sent troops to garrison Dongguan, it was because some people said that the secret weapons of the Chinese have a strong arson ability, and the Dongcheng area, which is the key point of border and defense, the French army not only built certain inner city fortifications there, but also left a large number of arms reserves, in case it was ignited, or directly hit by the secret weapon, Bian Heke would be finished!

After all, no one can say clearly, what is the range of the Chinese's secret weapon?

On the eastern wall of Bianhe were placed several small-caliber guns. Knowing that their opponents were incapable of carrying heavy firepower, the French moved rapidly south in Vietnam during the rainy season. These small-caliber guns can give enough support to the defenders of Dongguan!

In the telescope, Liu Xian clearly saw that the French army's defensive positions were set up quite quickly. In a short time, sandbags were erected, barricades were added, and all military deployments were swift and sufficient.

Wave Slipper was also satisfied with the movements of his own army under pressure, and just as he was about to walk down from the city, strange flames suddenly appeared in the eastern sky.

Bo Slip immediately raised his telescope to catch it, and he thought of the secret weapon of the Chinese. But the things were fast, and they were in the sun, and the tail of the things was spewing bright flames, so that he couldn't see the appearance at all, and could only roughly see that it was a long strip, like a Hale rocket. Wave slip can be sure - this thing is by no means a shell.

In the loud explosion, Liu Xian smiled leisurely. The French really don't remember to eat! (To be continued) R466
