February 17, 1855.

In an area north of Jinzhou, where the cold wind is howling and the dead branches are everywhere, 50,000 well-trained Han soldiers are encamped, and a team of soldiers patrols and stands guard around them, although the weather is very cold, but every soldier holds his gun in his hand and stares at the horizon in the distance.

Li Chunfa patted the cotton clothes on his body, and smiled at several army commanders and division commanders in the military tent: "This cotton clothes are really warm, I didn't expect the northeast to be so cold, and when I took off the cotton clothes, it was like falling into an ice cave." ”

Huang Zaixing has been living in the south, and he is quite unaccustomed to the weather in the north, especially in the northeast, and the charcoal stove is lit in the military tent, he still feels that the cold wind is blowing in the cracks of the bones, and he laughs when he hears the words: "What my lord said is that if it weren't for His Majesty's foresight and equipped with cotton clothes, our 50,000 army would not be able to fight, but it would be difficult to walk." ”

Tan Shaoguang said with a smile: "I thought it wouldn't take a few days to attack the northeast this time, but I didn't expect it to be blocked by the weather on the first day, I think we have to think of a way, otherwise the army will waste food and pay without an inch, and it will be a shame for our Fourth Army." ”

Huang Jinwen said: "Otherwise, we will choose the elite and go straight to Fengtian, with the three melons and two dates of the Qing army, we really can't stop us, as long as we capture Fengtian, the Qing army will become a rootless wanderer, and our preliminary strategy will be achieved." ”

Li Chunfa nodded first, shook his head again, and said to Huang Jinwen: "Division Commander Huang is the last batch to land, maybe I haven't seen the combat strength of the Qing army, yesterday afternoon was the head of Division Commander Huang Zaixing, you come to introduce it to everyone." ”

Tan Shaoguang and the others were confused, as far as they knew, yesterday was just a small battle, and the Qing army added up to less than 500 people. And with a whole regiment on their side, what is there to talk about in such a victorious battle.

Huang Zaixing swallowed. The narrative reads: "At the end of yesterday morning, a regiment will be led to land, and the Qing army is very well guarded. We were still found by them at sea, and there were only less than 500 people gathered on the shore, and it seemed that all the garrisons in Dalian were there. ”

Huang Jinwen said with a smile: "It's really five hundred, the Qing army has always fled when they see the guns, and they surrender when they hear the guns, I think this time is no exception, is this group of Qing troops all surrendered?" ”

Huang Zaixing shook his head and said, "At that time, I only sent five hundred people ashore to line up as I thought with Brother Jinwen, thinking to myself. Even if the Qing army did not surrender, these 500 people would be enough to annihilate them. ”

Huang Jinwen interjected again: "Well said! When have we taken advantage of this kind of advantage, the Qing army was defeated by us several times the strength, and if it were me, I would send two hundred people ashore. ”

"Humph!" Li Chunfa saw that Huang Jinwen underestimated the enemy, and deliberately scolded: "Fortunately, I didn't send you to fight the striker, otherwise we are not thinking about how to capture Fengtian now, but how to explain to the emperor." ”

Huang Jinwen asked in a daze, "What is the truth of this?" Could it be that the Qing army is still ambushing people and horses behind? ”

Huang Zaixing explained: "The Qing army only has 500 people, but this group of Qing troops is not ordinary. At first, they didn't take us seriously, and when they saw that I had only sent five hundred men, they were all laughing and scolding at once, and they didn't plan to attack until the first battalion was finished. ”

Tan Shaoguang smiled: "It's really self-inflicted." When our army is arrayed, they attack, and they can bargain for some money, because the formation is chaotic. The musketeers were crippled, and could only send out half their combat power. What happened next. ”

Huang Zaixing heard it, 'What happened later?' Then he came to his senses and continued: "The two armies are about a thousand meters apart. The Qing army took the lead in charging, and the momentum was like 10,000 people charging on horseback, if the recruits could not support it, there would be a rout. ”

Everyone listened to the climax, not interjecting at random, and listened carefully together, only Li Chunfa got Huang Zaixing's battle report in advance, and paid attention to the expressions of the soldiers in the tent intentionally or unintentionally.

Huang Zaixing sighed, with a little fear on his face, and said: "When the Qing army charged to five hundred meters, I ordered to shoot, in the first round, the Qing army lost about fifty people, but the next situation was much more than I expected, according to previous experience, after three rounds of attacks, the Qing army will turn around and count the casualties, and decide whether to fight or flee, but this group of Qing troops not only did not stop, but moved forward rapidly, during which the formation was changed at will, a distance of one thousand meters, in a blink of an eye, the two armies collided, and our army suffered two hundred casualties, still relied on bayonets to drive the Qing army out of Lu. ”

"Two hundred!" Tan Shaoguang fought with the cavalry when he was in Shanxi and Hebei, especially with the Russian Cossack cavalry, and knew the power of the elite cavalry, so he couldn't help asking: "If it goes on like this, this battalion is abandoned, why did you completely annihilate the Qing army after the last one?" ”

Huang Zaixing said ashamedly: "Before the war, I asked the cannon on the ship to calculate and shoot Zhu Yuan, and later saw that the brothers on the shore were in danger of annihilation, so I directly ordered the cannon to fire, and the Qing army was caught off guard, with heavy casualties, plus a battalion was killed red-eyed, and the last prisoner was not left." ”

Huang Jinwen took a deep breath and said, "The Qing army can defeat one of our battalions with five hundred people!" It's not easy! It's not easy! If you meet this group of cavalry in the pass, you only have a Mini gun and a Krenswick rifle in your hand, and you don't know how to deal with it. ”

Everyone understood what he meant at the beginning, the Qing army was going to send such an elite cavalry at the beginning, and it was a matter of whether the Han would survive or die.

Tan Shaoguang held his chin and sighed: "I don't know how many cavalrymen like this in the Northeast are there?" ”

Li Chunfa glanced at everyone and said loudly: "No matter how many people they have, our army should act cautiously, step by step, gradually encroach, and must ensure the rear supply line, otherwise let the Qing army come twice, and we will all starve to death in the northeast." ”

Huang Zaixing praised: "What my lord said is that the hometown of the Qing army is the northeast, and for its own survival, it is also necessary to fight with us. ”

Tan Shaoguang thought of the machine gun, smiled, and said loudly: "When we left, didn't the emperor give us a dozen machine guns!" I've seen the power of machine gun fire in the arsenal, like ...... It's like hundreds of rifles shooting non-stop, not to mention riding horses, but also riding bulls and dragons. ”

Machine gun? Everyone was stunned, in their impression, those styles of guns were useless, but when they heard Tan Shaoguang's description, they were suddenly impatient, and they all wanted to see the power of machine guns.

Li Chunfa was shocked and suspicious, intellectually he didn't believe that there was such a gun, but Tan Shaoguang's sworn appearance didn't look like he was lying, and the external border guard ordered: "Let the logistics regiment commander Li bring up the machine gun!" ”

"Yes!" The guard saluted and trotted away.

Tan Shaoguang got up and proposed: "Let's get rid of it together, the military tent is too small to be used!" ”

Everyone followed Li Chunfa and Tan Shaoguang to a wide place, and Tan Shaoguang ordered people to set up a lot of stone dummies and wooden targets at a distance of 500 meters.

Tan Shaoguang said to Li Bing, the head of the logistics regiment: "You go and call the person who can use the machine gun and demonstrate it to the commanders." ”

Li Bing said to the two young men beside him, "Don't go quickly." ”

I saw the two second lieutenant officers skillfully fiddling a few times, and after loading the bullet plate, they asked Tan Shaoguang and the others for instructions: "Ready, please instruct!" ”

Tan Shaoguang motioned for everyone to step back and ordered: "Shoot!" ”

"Dada......"

"Dada......"

Seeing that no one stopped them, the two ensigns pressed the trigger with confidence, full of excitement, they hadn't enjoyed it so much for a long time.

The gunfire died down and the smoke cleared.

Li Chunfa looked at the targets and dummies in front of him, and then looked at the inconspicuous machine gun, and sighed: "There is such a sharp weapon in the world, sensational!" ”

Huang Jinwen and Tan Shaoguang have always been good friends, and stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't I know that Lu Dao still had such a powerful weapon?" I don't think there's any need to train in the future, no matter how powerful a person is, can he block a machine gun? ”

Tan Shaoguang hurriedly said: "The existence of the machine gun has always been highly confidential, and only those directly responsible know about it, and I only learned about the existence of the machine gun through the invitation of Chief Jack. ”

"Jack? Is that the foreigner? Li Chunfa exclaimed: "How reliable are foreigners!" The Emperor ...... Alas! Such a sharp weapon has been passed out......"

Hearing Li Chun's words, Tan Shaoguang interrupted: "Chief Jack has always been in charge of the arsenal, and the machine gun is no longer a secret, Prussia has obtained the drawings a few months ago, and now Britain, France, and the United States are probably already secretly producing."
