Chapter 313: Battle for Supremacy 6

Special, special and special thanks to the invisible alliance leader - the big red envelope of the "ghoul", three changes today and tomorrow, updated at 12, 15, and 18 o'clock!

Many thanks to the "Galaxy New Army" and "Jingge" and "Biao Cavalry" for the monthly reward tickets, the "Book Friends 69460830" for the monthly pass recommendations, the "87859345" and "Book Friends 161124224911622" and "The Starting Point of the Flying Immortals", the "Starry Sky Story 123456" and "Heavenly Demon Red Emperor" and "Song of the Fury" for the rewards, the "Zijun gxjgxj" and "Lonely De Love" and "Frost Sky Sword God" monthly passes, as well as "dong1258", " Freshly baked QB", "Emperor of the Chinese Federation", "kkt", "Crazy Little Fish", "Brilliant Sorrowful Thoughts", "Bandit Murder Oath", "Book Friend 160802191648660 "00 Axiao 00", "Paipai 4587" recommended votes.

By the way, the "Galactic New Army" rewarded very fiercely, surpassing the "Biao cavalry"!

"This ...... What should I do? ”

Deshou has never been in a war, and he doesn't want to fight, and fighting will affect the money.

The first "good news" that the two new officers received was that the British, French, and Italian forces were moving north from the Kowloon Peninsula.

Whether it's a refuge or a temporary stay, in short, these 80,000 ocean adults can't get rid of them if they want to, and they have to pay for them themselves.

The second "good news" was that the "short-haired" fleet invaded Humen from the mouth of the Pearl River and advanced to Guangzhou.

"Lord Li (Li Hanzhang) has strengthened the defense of the Humen Fort before, and presumably the 'short hair' will definitely break his head and bleed!"

While comforting Deshou, Iketang is also comforting himself, referred to as self-......

In fact, he was even more bottomless in his heart, after all, he had dealt with the "shorthair" real knife and real gun, and the strength of the opponent's battleship was obvious to him.

Counting on the Humen Fort to be able to block the offensive of the "short hair", three days is the limit, and it will become a luxury to grow any longer.

One battalion of cavalry and two battalions of infantry stationed there were probably not enough to support the rebellious offensive.

Whenever a Qing soldier sees the "ironclad monsters" and sees them again, his body will reflexively turn back......

"General, if the 'shorthair' comes to attack, can our army fight with it?" Deshou refers to the enemy's arrival in the city and the arrival of the city in Guangzhou

He didn't even think about taking the initiative to attack this kind of death-seeking thing, anyway, he didn't even have the possibility of defeating the other party.

There was the Hunan army in front and the Huai army in the back, one was wiped out on Baodao, and the other was completely lost in Shangyan.

Although there are 48 battalions of defenders and 20,000 horses near Guangzhou, who dares to guarantee that they will be able to defeat the "short hair"?

Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Liangguang is far inferior to that of the Beiyang elite, and it is still possible to fight the bandit Diao Min.

To fight against "Shorthair", even Iktang didn't feel much sure of winning.

General Guangzhou thought about it for a while and came up with a not-so-rancid idea: "If you can hold back the 'short hair' and invite the Three Kingdoms Alliance to go north and attack from the north and south, you can annihilate it in one fell swoop!" ”

Since the foreigners are here, they don't have to be in vain, didn't they also be beaten by the "short hair"?

If you want to turn defeat into victory, now is a good opportunity, it is better for the two to join forces.

Deshou thought about it for a while, and suddenly showed the appearance of a toilet suddenly open, slapped the table, and praised: "This plan is wonderful!" Some time ago, the generals of the Three Kingdoms sent a telegram to join hands with our Qing Dynasty to suppress bandits. Now you have this opportunity, you have to plan carefully! ”

Of the 48 battalions under the command of Yi Ketang, only 8 battalions are regular troops of the 28th Classic, and there are 10 battalions each of the 8 banners and the green battalion, and 20 battalions of the newly formed regiment.

Considering that his own "strong combat effectiveness", the Guangzhou general, who knew his own strength, could only choose this method and wait for the Triple Alliance to go north to help in the war.

At this time, the European expeditionary force was camping in Chenzhen, and it was not close to Humen, but it was not far away.

Although the three have been tied together, there are still some differences in the strategic planning for the next step.

The British commander, Admiral Roberts, intended to move south to reclaim the Kowloon Peninsula after the rebel fleet had withdrawn.

The commander of the French army, Lieutenant General Gallieni, planned to take Guangzhou and lead his troops westward to French Indochina.

The Supreme Commander of the Italian Army, Lieutenant General Antonini, did not want to fight and did not want to run away, it was better to have pie in the sky.

Although this product is a bit whimsical, it is the object of active competition between Britain and France.

Because only three of the 10,000 Italians who landed in the port were wounded, and all the light and heavy weapons were there.

Both Admiral Roberts and Lieutenant General Gallieni knew the plans of the Italian lazy man, but the situation was pressing, and they could only try to win them over to their side.

However, at this moment, a small probability of pie falling from the sky appeared.

"If we can defeat the rebels here, it's a good plan!" After looking at the map, Admiral Roberts was also impressed.

The rebels left a lot of warships in the harbor, which could completely cover the shore with firepower, and if the British counterattacked, they would surely suffer heavy casualties.

But if you go north, it is not impossible to unite France and Italy, and then let the Qing army go south to flank and fight to the death with the rebels in the Humen area.

Lieutenant General Gallieni pointed to a small dot on the map with his pen and said: "The Qing generals have deduced that if the rebels land from Humen, the next target will be Dongane!" ”

Admiral Roberts measured the distance with a ruler and said worriedly: "Our march is a bit far, and it will increase the fatigue of the soldiers!" ”

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Lieutenant General Gallieni's mouth, and he said longingly: "That is just the right time to let the rebels go deep into the inland area and get out of the cover range of their naval guns, and our army can sneak up on them from behind!" ”

This was also reasonable and feasible, and Admiral Roberts reluctantly agreed to the battle plan.

Lieutenant General Antonini, who is waiting to eat the cake, certainly has no objection, provided that the two of you take the lead!

"My dear, why did you choose to land in Humen? It seems to be a bit far from Guangzhou! "Nina was a little unhappy with the landing site

The young man of the second cargo smiled mysteriously: "Because of this, I landed in Humen!" If we had attacked Guangzhou directly, it would have been impossible for the Triple Alliance to move north. If we fight the Triple Alliance, it is impossible for the Qing army to move south. So you have to find a place where neither side feels too far away and it is possible to take advantage! ”

Play the Three Kingdoms Killing Location, of course, choose to be in Dongane!

Because a great man once said: The war of the future is artillery & war!

His Majesty the Emperor would like to add four big words here - both men and women!

Tungane is the second main battlefield after Hengyi, although it is a different kind of war......

*******************************************************

"A certain general Zhang Youdao, knock to see my emperor, and wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!" A battalion officer who had cut his own braids immediately knelt down as soon as he entered the door

This is the traitor who sells his boss for glory and steals his life, or the hero who helps the clan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and rise up in front of the battle.

The last general is not suspected of being humble, he is all seven grades, and if he goes down, he should not be above his feet and neck......

"Get up! Throne! The young man pointed to a chair next to him, and then said slowly: "I have seen the defense map you presented, and it is not bad!" ”

The army of the clan army overwhelmed the border, and a bunch of small boats of the Guangdong Navy Division ran upstream and squinted, with the beautiful name: protect the ship and resist the enemy!

In fact, it is "protecting the ship and fearing the enemy", because everyone is about to be scared to pee.

A salvo came from the opposite side, and it is estimated that there is nothing left here......

But you can't say that for the above fold, that's going to drop your head!

"This is the last general's job, within his ability, the emperor has won the award, and the last general is ashamed!" Zhang Youdao didn't dare to be arrogant

Yes, it's okay if you don't die in the poor way.

The law of advance and retreat, Zhang Chi has a way, hence the name - Zhang Youdao!

Sure enough, it's a good name, with Liu Ergou, Wu Tiedan, and Nicholas? Zhao Si has a fight~!

Of course, the young man of the second cargo will not pick the door at this time, and the dog's legs must be fed, at least half full: "Battalion Commander Zhang is modest, this picture is of great significance, and it is an object that our army urgently needs." Well, I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver. If Battalion Commander Zhang still wants to join the army, he can follow Brigade Commander Liu Yongfu of the Eighth Infantry Brigade! ”

Liu Yongfu came from here, and now he must have a lot of emotion when he "revisits the old place".

"Thank you to the emperor, the last general will definitely be loyal to the country!" Zhang Youdao immediately saluted and thanked him

As a battalion officer in charge of more than 300 people, in addition to eating empty salaries, setting up cards, and collecting protection money, there are also filial piety things below.

10,000 taels of silver is not much in the eyes of senior generals, but a seven-grade sesame official, not a parent official, is not a lot.

Especially now that ticket numbers around the country have begun to withdraw silver in limited quantities, you can't exchange cash with silver tickets.

In order to make the local tyrants have more blood, His Majesty the Emperor printed a bunch of silver tickets and withdrew them everywhere through agents.

In Guangdong Province alone, nearly 1.6 million taels of silver were proposed, plus a large number of advanced daily necessities were put on the market.

In the Liangguang area, more than 4.5 million taels were successfully cashed out, and the silver will never be returned.

It has directly caused deflation in the market, and even the official has begun to face the dilemma of having no rice to cook.

There is still a lot of silver in the ticket number, but at the stage when there is no market, everyone is waiting to make a big profit.

His Majesty the Emperor is not anemic, and there is no shortage of silver, so let these fat guys have blood transfusions in order to make blood sausages to eat!

"In the future, I will have to rely on Lord Liu to help me a lot!" Zhang Youdao bowed to Liu Yongfu again

In terms of age, Liu Yongfu is an elder; In terms of qualifications, Liu Yongfu is a senior; In terms of military rank, Liu Yongfu is the commander.

"Battalion Commander Zhang doesn't need to be polite, our army has always ordered and forbidden. As long as you fight bravely, the natural welfare is very high, and your whole family will have no worries about food and clothing. If the military order is violated, it will be deprived of full-time at least and punished on the spot! Liu Yongfu is not just talking, but deeply understanding.

Not to mention such serious crimes as passive cowardice, desertion, and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it is not allowed to smoke small cigarettes, eat empty salaries, speculate, fill one's own pockets, XO Minnu, and forcibly buy and sell.

In general, it is "must obey military orders & do not disturb Min", otherwise regardless of the official position of the target, the gendarmerie formed by Kim Hans will teach you how to behave or reincarnate in minutes!

At the beginning, there were hundreds of people in Liu Yongfu's fourth battalion who violated the rules, and they had a fluke mentality, so that they could not blame the public, but they all became funny.

In less than a month, eight were shot dead, 42 people were ordered to be discharged from the army, and 136 people were locked up in confinement.

Liu Yongfu also wanted to intercede, but ended up eating the "story will be complete" promised by the queen.

Now this group of military masters have been cleaned up honestly, and those who remain understand that the treatment here is unattainable elsewhere.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Clan clearly instructed Empress Xu during the "Bed Meeting" that the doglegs must carry out the criminal activities in an organized, planned, and step-by-step manner.

It is never allowed to pull the mountain, eat alone, and stab Louzi, whoever dares to take a step beyond the thunder pond will let him carry the black pot, wear a cuckold, and can't play with the girl!

It was a little uncomfortable when I first put on the splint, but when it came over, it was much more comfortable.

At least in Liu Yongfu's opinion, his Fourth Brigade can already surpass any elite army in the Qing Dynasty, and is not inferior to the troops of the foreigners.

Of course, whether it will work or not, you have to go to the battlefield and try it.

Wang Shizhen's 2nd Brigade and Cao Kun's 4th Brigade both participated in the Battle of Shangyang, and Duan Che's 6th Brigade captured Hangzhou.

Now it's Liu Yongfu's turn to make his debut in the Eighth Brigade, and if the performance is miscellaneous, the protagonist will not be able to eat and walk around.

It wasn't far from Humen to Dongane, and the braids along the way fled from the wind, and they didn't do much resistance at all.

The so-called township brave group training is a group of people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and when they encounter real hard stubble, they will wilt in an instant.

"Alright, let's set up camp! Build a defensive position here and wait for the enemy to come to your door! "His Majesty the Clan Emperor chose the area of Hetian Village, Houjie Town, south of Dongane, as the main battlefield

Further north, there are all kinds of small rivers with branches, and I didn't come to play rapids with my own doglegs, so there was no need to wade through the muddy waters.

On this trip, the second cargo youth only brought two brigades of 6,000 combat troops, including the 7th Brigade composed of Jin Hans and the 8th Brigade of Liu Yongfu.

Nina deliberately asked a company of Marines to serve as a personal guard to escort her husband.

In fact, there is nothing to protect, and when the danger comes, the young man of the second cargo will have already slipped away.

The 8th Brigade defended the north, while the Kingsmen, who were back-to-back with them, had to defend themselves against the coalition threat from the south.

The Bf-109T has already reconnoitred the enemy, and aerial photography shows that the European Expeditionary Force is showing signs of moving north.

It is estimated that in three or five days, these two groups of good-looking livestock armies should be able to rush to this main battlefield, right?

It's just that the sun is blazing in South China in late June, even if the news of the landing of "Shorthair" from Humen was obtained.

The Qing army and the coalition army also had to choose to rush at night and rest during the day, otherwise the physical exertion would be too great, and they would not be able to fight when they arrived at the place.

"Hmmm! Good repair! "His Majesty personally inspected the fortifications built by the various ministries, and the results were quite satisfactory to the young men of the second goods.

A few World War II versions of blitzkrieg battles have been fought, and now it's time for the World War I version of trench defenses.

With the village as the center, the clan army built three concentric circles of defense line inside, middle and outside, with stakes and barbed wire embedded outside.

Communication trenches, anti-artillery holes, command posts, ammunition depots, machine-gun positions, artillery positions, field hospitals and other facilities are readily available.

Basically, it is only owed to the east wind, but the enemy has not arrived for a long time, which really makes everyone anxious!

The pigtails of the local war were unexpectedly the first to arrive at the "set", which impressed His Majesty.

Since they did not see their allies from the south, their vanguard only sent a small group of men and horses to reconnoiter closely.

A day later, the Triple Alliance Army was belated, and the foreign devils were probably scorched by the vicious sun.

The hot and humid weather in South China also makes them very uncomfortable, and their combat effectiveness may drop to the level of the monkey army......

However, the British army also took advantage of the high temperature and scorching heat, and did not wear that classic lobster costume!

In the Second Boer War, the red lobster suit was a very obvious target, killing many British soldiers.

"Report, no rebel tanks found!"

“…… Very good! "Admiral Roberts was pleased with the results of this reconnaissance

As long as there is no such thing as a tank, his army of 20,000 will have room to attack.

Admiral Roberts had 45,000 troops at his disposal, but it was impossible to throw them all into the field, so he had to give his allies some leeway.

Lieutenant General Gallieni, the commander of the French army, who was in charge of the battle, was even more determined to inflict heavy losses on the enemy at Donane after receiving the news of the rebel attack on Haiphong Port.
