Chapter 892: Shocking Killing

No matter how far-reaching the impact of Yang Meng and Li Hongzhang's night talk is, these things do not flow out, and the impact on the outside world is always small and secret, and what really attracts everyone's attention is the war on the front line of Tsarist Russia.

Time flies in the stalemate, and the representatives of Europe and the United States, while feeling the customs of the Qing Kingdom, are worried about the war on the Tsarist side of Russia, and how lethal the mysterious weapon in the mouth of Duke Yang of the Qing Kingdom will be?

Among them, the most nervous is Milican Seward, Milican's civil war, fighting more and more hot, every day tens of thousands of Milican soldiers are injured or killed, if this kind of weapon, really has the ability to decide the situation of the war, then his trip to the East, the harvest will be great, a reversal of the war to maintain the unity of the country, I am afraid it is a steady hand.

Observers from European and American countries have already arrived at the front line of Tsarist Russia, and the telegraph system of the Qing Dynasty is also something that makes everyone's eyes shine, and long-distance telegraph lines are not a rare thing for European countries, and many countries have more or less some telegraph lines, but like the Qing Dynasty, they have invested heavily in the establishment of a telegraph system covering the whole country, and even Britain and France in Europe are lacking in this field.

In just one month, the efficiency of the telegraph network has been recognized by European and American countries, and the ensuing Siemens company has also been looked down upon by many European countries.

The use of the entire telegraph system for military purposes, many European countries had previously taken a cautious attitude, and the Qing State set a precedent and achieved considerable returns. A battle report from the front of Tsarist Russia. It can cross thousands of miles to reach Guangzhou in one day. This is undoubtedly a major change in the military world, and after that, I am afraid that Siemens will have to make a lot of money in this field.

Unlike the turmoil in Guangzhou, the front line of Tsarist Russia has been very quiet these days, and the temperature in Tsarist Russia has entered late autumn, and the temperature has dropped extremely quickly, for the soldiers. The cold trenches were undoubtedly a kind of torture, and the Qing army that built the trenches on the west bank of the Volga River, especially at night, the wet cold and mist constantly tortured the nerves of hundreds of people up and down the Qing army.

Zeng Disheng and Shi Dakai had already drawn up an attack plan here, and now, what they were waiting for was a windless morning. Why attack early in the morning? Autumn fog, dialogue. Phosphorus. The bullet is undoubtedly an excellent cover.

As a think tank for the entire army. Tian Shi Dakai will naturally not ignore this thing, such a decision, the people of Xishan and Minghu, also played a very important role, the fog is conducive to increasing white. Phosphorus. The lethality of the bullet, as soon as the idea was proposed, was responded to by most people.

Nearly a million white. Phosphorus. Shells have been sent to all positions along the Volga River to the Dvina River basin, and more than 13,000 pieces of artillery of more than 12 pounder have been properly arranged, although, on average, there are only a few dozen large and small guns in each trench position, but fortunately, the number of shells is sufficient, and the number of at least a few dozen shells per cannon is enough to support two quarters of an hour of shelling.

"Digong, most of our artillery is naval artillery, and it is not easy to cast, as far as Da Kai can see, it is best to last more than an hour in the early morning.

Moreover, this morning fog is easy to disperse, according to the Xishan side, the longer the shelling lasts, the better, now that each artillery position has an accurate shelling range, can the time of this shelling be extended to more than an hour? ”

In the face of his old opponent Zeng Disheng, Shi Dakai is also quite polite, because of his identity, he Shi Dakai is only a general now, not as good as Zeng Disheng's background, this posture must be lowered.

"General Shi has no last resort, it's good that General Shi is in charge of this matter, and it is also for the rise of my Huaxia, and the greater the results, the better."

When he first saw Shi Dakai, Zeng Disheng was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he also understood that Yang Laosan was eclectic in employing people, and Shi Dakai, a bandit, also had something outstanding in terms of military strategy, and so far, his credit to Disheng is not small, no matter how big it is, I am afraid that it will make Yang Laosan suspicious.

A big war to decide the ownership of Tsarist Russia's territory was decided in the humility of Zeng Shi and the two, with the orders of the Chinese army, the soldiers below also spared no effort to carry out, the last battle! Up to now, many soldiers are a little war-weary, and the last battle is used to boost their morale, which is Zeng Disheng's means.

Hundreds of military observers from Europe and the United States were also placed by Zeng Disheng on all the positions along the river, allowing them to watch the battle. Phosphorus. The lethality of the bullets is to let them see the general level of artillery in the Qing Dynasty, which is also a form of deterrence.

Almost purposeless artillery bombardment, abruptly resounded on the Qing position, the reaction of the Tsarist side was very exhausted, the assistance of European countries, most of them were light weapons, artillery and the like were very few, in the face of the shelling throughout the entire position, the Tsarist side could only choose to endure helplessly.

But as the pungent smell spread in the air, the generals of the Tsarist side felt that something was wrong, and looking at the little light in the night and fog, many people felt a little creepy.

The cannonballs that can burn for a long time are unheard of before, and many soldiers and generals are curious to surround the constantly burning cannonballs in front and behind the position, trying to explore the secrets of these shells in the Qing Kingdom, this behavior undoubtedly caused a tragedy, with the burning of the cannonballs, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger.

At this time, the generals of Tsarist Russia also noticed that something was wrong, but it was too late, the poisonous smoke began to spread on the position, after the combination of poisonous smoke and morning fog, it was the settlement of poisonous fog, in the face of poisonous fog, the defensive power of the trench against the shelling also became a decoration, and the screams began to spread on the position of the Tsarist side, but the shelling that lasted for an hour covered up the screams that continued to come out from the Tsarist position.

"After the shelling, the army retreated thirty miles!"

An hour's bombardment looked very boring, and under the astonished gaze of the European and American military observers, the Qing troops abandoned their positions, stepped on improvised bridges made of logs, and some of them fled to the open space across the water.

Run, yes! is to escape, looking at the Qing soldiers, some frightened expressions, many observers are even more puzzled, but they are only observers with the army, and their actions are limited by the Qing army, although they are quite curious about the position of the Tsarist side, but they can only choose to flee helplessly.

Time flies by in a hurry, today's morning sun seems to be so weak, more than an hour after the morning sun rises, the fog on the opposite bank still does not disperse, from early morning to early morning, from early morning to noon, the fog is finally almost dispersed.

Looking across the river, you can clearly see the smoke rising from the positions of the Tsars, which is probably caused by the shelling, right?

What is really surprising is the reaction on the position of Tsarist Russia, many observers from Europe and the United States have seen the burning military supplies, at this time, the Tsarist side should be fighting the fire regardless of the damage, but the position of the Tsarist side has no reaction.

Silence, chilling silence, in the army, this silence is extremely terrifying and terrifying, listening to the noisy voices around you, you can feel the silence of the Tsarist positions, this feeling, really terrifying.

And the Qing army, in the face of such a strange situation, still has no reaction, what are they waiting for?

Waiting is always anxious, especially at this time, and the Qing army has no intention of continuing to advance at all, after the afternoon, these Qing troops began to prepare dinner and bonfires, looking at their appearance, they are not going to enter the position today.

Observers in Europe and the United States also know that there will be no result in asking these Qing soldiers, and they can only wait for these Qing soldiers to solve the mystery for them, and sleeping in Tsarist Russia in late autumn is definitely not a pleasure, although the area along the river is almost full of bonfires raised by the Qing army, but the night in late autumn in Tsarist Russia is still cold.

At noon the next day, the Qing army cautiously crossed the pontoon bridge and entered their own defense area, after which they did not hesitate, driven by the military order, directly into the trench position on the Tsarist side.

"Why?"

"Why?"

……

Such a question invariably comes from the mouths of European and American observers, and compared with these observers, the face of the Qing army is not very good-looking, the reason is very simple, it is a large area of hideous corpses.

As for why, this Yang Meng is also difficult to answer. Phosphorus. Yang Meng originally intended to be used as an incendiary bomb for naval warfare, but after the transformation of Xishan, this thing has become a very dangerous object.

As for where this danger comes from, you have to ask the Xishan that deals with the slag accumulated in Yunnan, which is something that Xishan used hundreds of lives to exchange for, when Yang Meng smelled the strong smell of bitter almonds, his face was frightened green, who would have thought that after the slag was extracted, such an object would be produced?

White. Phosphorus. Bullets smoke, Xishan's new object kills, such a combination, after a hundred years, it is also a thing that is never allowed to be used on the battlefield, by chance, Xishan invented this thing, and Yang Meng does not mind using it, as far as it seems now, this is the best deterrent weapon, with this scene of Tsarist Russia, for many years after that, no one will dare to hide the sharpness of Huaxia.

An unexplained artillery battle, countless casualties, even those who witnessed it are difficult to say what the reason is, and in the following months, the Qing and Russian sides fought a war of words in front of the European and American countries, and the Tsarist side insisted on four million deaths, while the Qing only insisted on one million casualties.

What is the result, Europe, the United States and Tsarist Russia are the clearest, Seward has also temporarily suspended the so-called order, whether some things can be used or not, is still in the middle of the two! (To be continued......)
