Chapter 63: The First Battle of the Revival Army!
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and Li Ergou couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a soldier who was also wearing strange brown and green clothes jumped off his horse and ran straight towards the young master and the fairy.
The soldier first raised his hand, made a strange movement, and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, there is an urgent military situation!" ”
Li Ergou was immediately stunned, it turned out that the young master was the commander-in-chief of the revival army and political axe, Wang Bo, who everyone said!
Wang Bo raised his hand and saluted, took the document, opened it and looked at it seriously for a while, his brows furrowed suddenly.
Li Jingjie was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Bo loosened his brows, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing." Jie'er, are you here to receive these people, or do you want to go back to Guangzhou with me? ”
Li Jingjie's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she immediately put down the spoon in her hand and said, "Of course I'm back in Guangzhou!" I'm going to stay with my cousin, who's going to have a baby soon, and I'm going to take care of her! ”
Wang Bo said with a smile: "Jie'er has finally grown up, and she knows how to take care of people!" ”
Li Jingjie pouted: "What! People have grown up! I won't tell you, let's go! ”
Wang Bo asked the guards to find the person in charge here, and he gave a few instructions to settle these people who came to Guangdong, and immediately left in a hurry with Li Jingjie.
The fairy was gone, and Li Ergou was stunned. He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want to know, his mind was full of the fairy's beautiful face, and he wondered when he would see the fairy again.
Wang Bo and Li Jingjie got on the specially assigned train and hurried back to Guangzhou. After getting off the train, he asked Li Jingjie to go home first, but he quickly went to the headquarters.
All the generals of the department who were busy with the commander saw Wang Bo walk in, and they all raised their hands and saluted: "I have seen the commander-in-chief!" ”
Wang Bo returned a military salute, and then asked, "Kunda, how is the situation now?" ”
Xu Kunda said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, our army and the French army are still fighting on the border of Yuenan and Guangxi, during which the French army has been repelled many attacks, the commander of the sixth division, Chen Shouyi, asked for instructions to carry out a counteroffensive, and I hope the headquarters will approve it!" ”
He is an old man of the Renaissance Army, and after further study in the military academy, his position has risen all the way, from just an insignificant soldier back then, to now he is now a lieutenant general of the Renaissance Army, and has become the commander of the Second Army, managing tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and is naturally loyal to Wang Bo.
Wang Bo's eyes widened, and he said, "Do you still need to ask for instructions?" What do I usually tell you, don't you have a long memory? If Chen Shouyi, this bastard, is in front of me now, see that I don't have big ears to shave him! I don't care what the truth of the matter is, who is right and who is wrong, I am bullied to the doorstep, and I immediately counterattack! ”
"The army and navy are all moving for me! Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, this is the first battle of our revival army, and it must be won! If you fail, see me! No! You don't need to see me, find a place to finish it yourself! ”
All the generals of the headquarters leaned on their heels, made a "click", stood solemnly, and said in unison: "Yes!" ”
At 10:20 a.m. on June 12, 1894, the French army in the French colony of Viet Nan and the Chinese Revival Army clashed unexpectedly.
The reason for the incident was absurd, with an officer and several soldiers of the French army hunting in the woods in a disputed area with their dogs.
At the same time, Luo Zunian, commander of an engineer company of the Sixth Division of the Chinese Renaissance Army stationed on the border between Guangxi and Vietnam, and several soldiers and several soldiers were hunting in the woods in the disputed area with their dogs.
The dogs of both sides were tied up in the barracks all day long and could not run around at will, but now they are unrestrained and naturally run around in the woods. But at this time, the two dogs met unexpectedly, and I don't know if they also knew that the two sides were in a hostile state, and they pounced on each other and bit each other as soon as they met.
Then the owners of both sides arrived at the scene and saw their respective dogs fighting, not only did they not stop it, but they also shouted and cheered for their dogs.
Wang Bo has always been stingy with his army, meat and vegetarian mix until all the officers and soldiers are full, Luo Zunian is very fond of his dog, what he eats, what he eats, what he does, and domesticates the dog to be extremely strong.
At that time, Yue Nan was very poor, and it was a colony, and it was oppressed by France, and all kinds of materials were in short supply, so the French officer's dog looked a little thin.
It didn't take long for the French officer's dog to be bitten all over his body, and he wanted to run, but he had been bitten on his foot, and he couldn't run fast at all.
The French officer felt sorry for his dog, and if he didn't stop it, the dog would definitely be bitten to death, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for the Chinese dog, took out his pistol and fired several shots.
Luo Zunian saw that his dog was shot, he was furious, the two dogs fought, and if he didn't separate them at first, it meant that he didn't interfere and let them divide the winner. But now the other party dared to shoot with a gun, and immediately pulled out the gun, and killed the French dog with two shots.
The French officer was furious, and in order to avenge his dog, without saying a word, he raised his gun and fired at Luo Zunian.
The two sides were torn and bitten because of the fight between the two dogs, which led to a gun fight.
In the end, the respective troops of the two sides heard the noise, and then a local skirmish broke out, and then, the fighting became more and more fierce, and the respective Chen troops officially expanded into a large army battle on the border.
It's so ridiculous, it's unbelievable, a war because of two dogs!
Wang Bo doesn't care about this, he said in his speech to the army, no matter what happens, our Chinese Rejuvenation Army will not take the initiative to provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of things, as long as the other party dares to provoke and offend, we will never tolerate it, will never say anything to protest and condemn, and immediately counterattack!
Don't be afraid that the consequences will be too big and will give others a chance! Don't care! To be tolerant of the enemy is to be cruel to yourself! Even if you know that you can't beat it, you have to fight every soldier! Even if you die, you have to bite off a layer of skin from each other!
This is the first battle of the Renaissance Army, and the whole world is watching closely, and if it loses, everyone will pounce on it like a shark that smells blood.
Because Wang Bo's business group was established in 1884, and now after 10 years of development in 1894, its business has spread to almost all corners of the world. Some foreign organizations have analyzed that Wang Bo's annual business income is now enough for one-third of the annual tax revenue of the Manchu Dynasty, or even more!
As soon as this analysis report came out, countless forces around the world and even in China were salivating over it, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a bite!
Therefore, this war between the Ba'ath Army and France completely attracted the attention of the whole world!
During the Napoleonic period, France's army was the strongest in the world! With the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, although the strength of the army is getting weaker and weaker, the foundation is still there. The navy is second in the world, below England. The army is third in the world, the first in front is Germany, and the second is England.
As for the Renaissance Army, all countries have seen the spirit of the Renaissance Army at the previous military parade, and although the Renaissance Army has also shown its best side in front of the international community, it is completely unknown what its combat effectiveness is, and everyone has a skeptical attitude.
Therefore, this war has become a test of how strong the Baath Army really is!
There were not many French troops in the French Viet Nan colony, and it was too far away from the mainland, so the various resources needed by both the army and the navy could not be replenished in time.
Although the revival army also had to guard against the Manchu Dynasty in the north, it still occupied the right time and place on the whole, and if it lost, it would follow in the footsteps of the decaying Manchu Dynasty, and then it would be arbitrarily slaughtered by the powers of the world.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his might!
France is not a rabbit, and the Baissance is not a lion!
In any case, the Baath Army must go all out!
Everything that should be arranged depends on how the front line fights!
Wang Bo originally planned to go to the battlefield in person, but he knew that his military command ability was not high, and he only barely reached the level of a battalion commander.
Moreover, all the generals of the revival army also tried their best to persuade each other, as the commander-in-chief, he should sit in the rear, strategize, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
He thought about it, so he had to stop there, and stayed at the headquarters, always paying attention to the battlefield news.
The ensuing war situation was unexpected by all!
In the big battle on land, the French army was powerless in the face of the offensive of the Revival Army, and retreated again and again, and sometimes the front troops just came into contact, and the rear headquarters was inexplicably destroyed!
In just half a month, Yue Nan lost more than half, and the whole world was shocked!
Could it be that the Renaissance Army is really that powerful? Or has the French Army been in a state of collapse since Napoleon, leaving only empty shelves?
After many investigations, the countries discovered that the land tactics and many weapons of the Baxing Army were simply unheard of!
What concentrates forces to carry out blitzkrieg of speed surprise attack, what kind of large-depth operation, what kind of penetration, division, coordination of large-depth and large-scale outflanking, what kind of sparrow warfare, movement warfare, positional warfare, tunnel warfare, decapitation operations, and so on are all kinds of tactics emerge one after another.
There is a new type of fully automatic assault rifle on the weapon, which Wang Bo brought over in the real world; The grenade, which was once ignored by various countries, has been renovated by the Renaissance Army and a new type of grenade has appeared; There is a kind of steel barrel called mortar, there are large and small, and it is easy to carry, the small one can be used as a small cannon for individual weapons, and the large one can also be used by several people.
The most surprising thing to the world is that there is a kind of tracked ironclad car called tank, which can be equipped with artillery or machine guns, and can also be used with two weapons together.
However, because Wang Bo particularly emphasized the need for speed when ordering warships, and in recent years, he was willing to pay for live-fire drills for warships to go to sea, although there were still many immature points, but in the end they were still won by the revival army with great difficulty.
So far, the local war between France and the Baath Army, whether it is a land battle or a naval battle, has been defeated! (To be continued.) )
