"Over there, over there, fight where there are a lot of people!" The segment car directly directed the mortar unit to aim at the target and throw

This is his first battle as a battalion commander, and he must leave a good impression on the emperor, otherwise it will inevitably affect his future promotion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Their three battalions in Jiangning and one battalion of Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army, who had come over from Chengcheng, formed the Second Infantry Brigade.

It is a great honor to be pulled out to participate in this battle, and we must not be embarrassed and discredit the emperor.

Wang Shizhen, Cao Kun, and Duan Che have their own merits, and Liu Yongfu has beaten the French and can be regarded as heroic predecessors.

Now that the four battalions are participating in the battle at the same time, it is natural that they must fight bravely to be the first and come out on top, and they cannot be left behind.

Instead of firing in place, the No. 1 tank cluster slowly moved forward and began to "clean up the battlefield".

"Why can't you die?" The pigtails opened fire less than ten meters away from the monster, but still did not kill it, and they couldn't help but be horrified.

In this era, the "Douding Toy" that came out of nowhere brought a huge shock to the Hunan army was no less than the "Tiger" heavy tank that appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield.

"Ah......" Some of the braids hurriedly lowered their heads and pulled the bolt after a shot, but they didn't expect the iron-shelled monster to accelerate straight over, and as a result, they were directly rolled into meatloaf.

As the two sides got closer, they turned into pigtails and tanks in close combat, and then were knocked down in pieces by the MG34 machine guns that spat fire snakes.

The rolling forward tracks were unstoppable, running over the dead corpses and continuing to advance towards the live targets that were still firing.

The falling mortar shells blew up the braids that had lost their armor and were in a trance, and they were stunned in place regardless of direction, as if they were in another world.

Before Chen Xiang's Jiangnan defense army could even organize a decent counterattack, the 10th battalion of men and horses completely collapsed under the impact of the steel torrent.

"Monster! Abomination! The veteran had to blame the invulnerable Douding Tank for the defeat

If it weren't for the rebellion and possession of such a clever weapon, how could he be defeated just by relying on the battle between the two armies and his own battle-hardened?

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Chen Xiang, Zuo Xiaotong, and Li Guangjiu had no choice but to flee south under the cover of their respective personal soldiers.

Tank No. 1 followed behind unhurriedly to cover the kill, leaving all the guys with weak legs and feet in this scarlet land.

When they ran to Baobei, the three generals looked at the soldiers around them, and the total number was only five hundred, which was only equivalent to more than one percent when they entered the army.

"Build fortifications, stick to Baobei, wait for the enemy to attack, and frustrate its spirit!"

Cheng Wenbing, the former army commander & Jiangning Admiral, got the battle report of the defeat of the three forward divisions, because there were few troops at the moment.

After two successive defeats, and with the addition of local signs, the available troops were less than 15,000 men, and ammunition was scarce, so they had to temporarily switch to the defensive.

Chen Xiang, Zuo Xiaotong, and Li Guangjiu are not fledgling generals, they are familiar with the formation of soldiers, and they are brave and good at fighting, and they are the main force of the Hunan army.

Cheng Wenbing comforted them: "Now the setbacks are all due to the damage to our army's materials, and it is a long-distance attack, rebellious and leisurely, mixed with many Western monsters that have never met, and the offensive is slightly sluggish, so it is understandable."

The rebellion is just a corner of the city, and now the rebel army has arrived in Baobei Mansion. Just wait for the reinforcements to go north, replenish supplies, send a lot of heavy artillery to roar to open the way, destroy its monsters, and then you can smash its lair and gather and annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”

This is also said to the generals of the Hunan army, once there is a situation in the army that is afraid of the enemy and is afraid of the rebellious monsters, it will be difficult to clean up.

Cheng Wenbing emphasized in the recital that the three strikers fought bravely to kill the enemy, killed and injured thousands of thieves, and raised my prestige, so that they did not dare to despise it!

Anyway, Zeng shaved his head when he came out of the toilet, and he added fuel and vinegar to it, and wrote a big defeat into a romance version, so that the court couldn't help but be happy, and it was good for his grace.

Even a veteran like Chen Xiang has suffered a big defeat in front, let alone others, and going into battle is equivalent to taking the initiative to fight.

Cheng Wenbing is very bottomless now, and he lacks troops in his hands, so he doesn't dare to move lightly, so he can only wait for reinforcements, otherwise he will suffer another defeat, and it will not be easy to play.

The Qing army had advanced items such as cannons and machine guns, but the number of equipment in each department was different, and the quality and performance were also far from the same.

However, at present, even if the price is high, you have to grit your teeth and buy a batch to be transported to the front line, otherwise you will have to suffer the loss of fighting long hair back then.

Since the rebels announced that they would cut their braids and change the dynasty, the officers and soldiers all cut the braids at the back of their heads, and they were temporarily promoted to quasi-bald heads, which were praised as "short hair" by the Hunan army!

Chen Xiang, Zuo Xiaotong, and Li Guangjiu, who were defeated and retreated from the front line, as well as the pigtails who survived, still had lingering fears about the bloody battle that had just passed, and the sound of gunfire still seemed to be in their ears.

They had never seen such ferocious firepower, the barrage was like rain, the artillery race thundered, and in an instant, the earth trembled, the earth rolled, the lightning and flint, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the scene seemed to be as terrible as destroying the world.

And the invulnerability, the release of the fire snake, and the iron box that can be quickly advanced make their own side panic, almost collapsed, although they were jokingly called "iron turtles" by their subordinates, it is difficult to hide their immeasurable combat power.

Under the premise that this kind of weaponry is completely asymmetrical, it seems understandable that it was defeated by the rebels, most of them were killed and wounded, and they retreated for dozens of miles, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Chen Xiang visually observed that the rebellion had hundreds of "iron turtles" on the battlefield, and this alone could win a decisive victory in the field, supplemented by powerful firepower, which could make it difficult for the invincible Qing Dynasty iron cavalry to carry out the offensive of ten thousand galloping horses.

Unless you make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and launch a night attack, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be able to retreat from the enemy by relying on the rebellious "Iron Turtle" alone during the day.

To put it bluntly, you can't beat it horizontally and vertically during the day, and if you want to play in the shade at night, you can't pay attention to it, for fear of being pitted by the other party again.

Now this "short hair" seems to be even more terrible than the "long hair" of the past, and the Hunan officers and soldiers who fought with their lives are in awe of its combat strength, and they no longer dare to claim victory.

Chen Xiang suddenly remembered the grand occasion of the Hunan army besieging Tianjing, the sword light and sword shadow, the cannon roar and wolf smoke, vividly remembered.

Thirty years ago, all departments in the south of the Yangtze River attacked together, ambushed on all sides, unstoppable, as fast as a tiger, and exterminated the "long hair"!

Thirty years later, the handsome returned to the sky, the elite passed away, although it has been revitalized, it is still difficult to speak bravely, do your best, and it is difficult to defeat the "short hair"!

If Zeng Dashuai's fierce and fearless Hunan army is still there, he may be able to compete with this invincible short hair......

"Alas~!" The veteran who was over the age of sixtieth stroked the table with his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, knowing in his heart that this was just his extravagant hope.

Fortunately, through this battle, the rebellious forces were found out and provided information for the follow-up army advance, so as not to suffer a big loss and regret the beginning.

As for how to deal with the terrible monsters that fly in the sky, crawl on the ground, and swim in the water in the hands of the rebels......

Whether it is for the imperial court or the southeast front, it is still a thorny problem, maybe you can ask the great powers to help!

Lao Liu Tou, who was on the other side of the strait, was not discouraged after the first defeat, but learned from the experience and learned the lessons, and transported the 30 battalions of men and horses supported by Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangguang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to go ashore in Houlong and other places with the help of transport ships from various countries and requisitioned fishing boats.

Although it was further south than Hsinchu, it was not intercepted by the rebel fleet on the way, and the landing operation was very successful and unscathed.

The new southeastern general Yi Ke Wena was ordered to levy, but the action was very fast, and the four battalions of the town border army led by himself, under the jurisdiction of the green battalion and twenty battalions of soldiers and horses, landed together with the reinforcements.

The generals of the Qing Dynasty decided that the rebels could not fully intercept their own transport ships in the strait, so they could launch a number of landing operations with them.

The tidal flats on the west coast of the island can be used as temporary landing grounds, supplemented by the diversion of Cheng Wenbing's troops, so that the rebels can take care of themselves.

After nearly a week of emergency transportation, with the unremitting efforts of day and night, the Qing army has 100 battalions and about 50,000 people have successfully landed ashore.

"Your Excellency, please look!" Cheng Wenbing pointed to the map to explain the situation of the war zone to Yi Ke Wei'a, who had just arrived in Baobei Mansion, "There are Wuzhi Mountain in the west of Xuanlong, Waimu Mountain in the east, Lion's Head Ridge in the south, Malingjian Mountain in the southwest, and Wufen Mountain in the southeast. ”

Looking at the endless mountains, Ike's brow was also a little brow-stricken, he didn't stupidly ask why there were no mountains in the north.

It is a port, and if there is a mountain to the north, it is a veritable giant bath, so you can take off your clothes and take a bath!

"If our army goes north, there are three ways to march. One of them is to cross the Malingjian Mountain. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the enemy's heavy defense to attack Lion's Head Ridge. Third, you can climb over the Wufen Mountain. Cheng Wenbing didn't say that it would be extremely difficult to take any road

Presumably, the rebel also deployed a lot of soldiers on these two mountains, probably assisted by machine guns and artillery, and their own side still climbed the mountain to attack, and the casualties were bound to be very large.

However, it is relieved to think that before attacking Lion's Head Ridge, you will encounter those "iron turtles" who can't even hurt them with bullets.

In comparison, going over the mountain is still a good offensive plan, who wants to lead the troops to smash the "iron turtle", everyone will definitely not stop it!

The mountains near Xuanlong are not more than a kilometer highest, mostly about six or seven hundred meters, although the road is relatively bumpy, but it is not particularly difficult to climb, and it is not comparable to the courage of the Hunan army.

The Southeastern General is not a fool, he knows that it is impossible to attack the rebellious lair from the sea, and can only choose one of three on the not very good land route.

After thinking about it, Ikewen thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "Well...... since this is the case, our army will go to the Namaling Jianshan Mountain, so that its 'Iron Turtle' cannot chase after it." When our army raids the port of Gulong, we can kill the horse pistol, and it will definitely be broken! ”

In order to appease the Hunan generals who had suffered heavy losses, Yi Ke Wena handed over the 15 battalions of Huguang and Liangguang to Chen Xiang and Li Guangjiu under the command of Chen Xiang and Li Guangjiu, and allocated the 20 green battalions under his command to Zuo Xiaotong's command.

Once they have regrouped, they will be able to charge. If you win, you will have to arrange it properly. If you lose again, you can just get two sins into one!

The men and horses of Liangguang, Huguang, and Luying are all miscellaneous brands, which belong to regular consumables, and they are all cannon fodder in the eyes of the imperial court, and it is most appropriate to kill them.

For the sake of good luck, Ike's Winga deliberately chose a lucky day - October 1st!

The forwards of about the 52nd Battalion were in full swing in the evening, and everyone was eager to climb the beautiful Maling Jianshan!

The officers and men of the Hunan faction who had already fought with the "short-haired" were strictly ordered to shut up and not to reveal half a word about the enemy to their new comrades-in-arms.

So as not to scare them into urine, if they have a psychological shadow, it will be difficult to command, and the three generals of the Hunan system still expect them to be ashamed of their blood!

The southeast general Yi Ke Wen and the 80th Battalion of the 80th Battalion and the 20th Green Battalion were in the rear, and when the front had made some gains, he could command the Chinese army to start charging and capture the "short-haired" mountain defense line on the whole line.

Even if the rebel has more than 1,000 garrisons on the mountain, he can't withstand the onslaught of his 50,000 horses at night, how can he be invincible?

There is also a subtle advantage of fighting when you come, that is, saving food, tens of thousands of dogs don't do anything, eat on the spot, so how much food do you have to transport from the other side?

Mother...... Lafayette's edict is sprinkled with a bunch of words, and the core meaning is just one word - win!

The little emperor also asked for a quick victory, because the court had no money and could not afford a protracted war.

When Kang Xiye leveled the Gelma bandits, he could at least scrape together the money.

When Jiaqing Ye destroyed Bai Lian's Turtle, the price of weapons was not too expensive.

Nowadays, the imperial court has no silver, and the purchase price of new weapons has skyrocketed, and the dignified Qing Dynasty has reached the point of borrowing money to fight.

In fact, no matter whether they win or lose, the Qing Dynasty will repay the 80 million pounds loan (principal and interest) of the British and French families with interest!

This amount of money is equivalent to six times the annual income of the imperial court, and if the silver depreciates, then Master Weng, who is in charge of the household department, will be completely happy......

The owner of the money is not a fool, and it has long been estimated that the war will depreciate the value of silver, at least within the Qing Dynasty.

So the currency unit of the loan is the pound sterling, although the Qing Dynasty can be repaid with silver, but there are some things, you know!

Now the exchange rate of the pound against silver is more than six points, and when it soars to eight, or even ten, to the premium alone, Britain and France can make a lot of money.

The internal process is to transfer bundles of pounds to the accounts of arms dealers, and hang the name of the Qing Dynasty on the external accounts, anyway, the braids also buy guns, guns, and ammunition!

If your military industry can really become self-sufficient, then why do you want to borrow money from us? You can also save on paying interest!

After winning the victory at Lion's Head Ridge, the 2nd Brigade of the Clan Army did not stay where it was, but was ordered to move to Maling Jianshan to replace the Jinhans troops defending there.

The brigade commander Barak made a brief arrangement, and the four battalion commanders Wang Shizhen, Cao Kun, Duan Che, and Liu Yongfu began to act separately and deployed their soldiers in their respective positions.

The main peak was guarded by a teaching team formed by Kim Hans, with the 1st and 3rd Battalions covering his left flank and the 2nd and 4th Battalions defending his right flank.

The fortifications have been built by the brothers, and they will be able to sit back and enjoy the results when they come.

"It's going to rain?" Wang Shizhen, who was sweating on his face, took off his steel helmet and saw that the dark clouds overhead were thick, and from time to time there were gusts of wind sweeping over the suffocating mountain.

Most of the cattle were napping and resting, some were smoking and chatting without sleep, and only the sentries on duty were watching intently at the bottom of the mountain.

They were given a little "special care" from above, and each of them received two boxes of grenades, ten in each box, and threw them down from the top of the mountain, which was simply a split in the face.
