Chapter 60: Encirclement
Wang Jie sat in a bumpy carriage with three young Chinese workers huddled together in a cramped canopy.
"Wang Tou, are we going to the county seat of Citigroup?"
"Is Citigroup's county town big? There are also county magistrates who go out on patrol and hold signs for everyone to dodge? ”
"I heard that although the lady of Citigroup looks like a ghost, her breasts are very big, is it true? Can we see each other? ”
Faced with the question of the three apprentices, Wang Jie couldn't cry or laugh:
"I know that I want to be a mother-in-law, why don't you have the energy to learn the craft when you usually ask you to learn the craft?"
"Master is wronged, yesterday's big crane, the ghost guy's maintenance master said that there was no way, didn't our master and apprentice make it good?"
"Yes, although it is mainly Master, you are powerful, but the three of us have also helped a lot, I don't think those ghosts are not successful!"
"We're just going to be able to cultivate, we're still far from building, there's nothing to be proud of......"
Wang Jie shook his head and said in a deep voice, "In the past, I also saw foreigners' fireships and cannons under General Hubei, and I thought that foreigners' machines were just like that......"
"But when I came to this Citigroup, I knew that what I saw in our Qing Dynasty before were the most outdated objects of foreigners...... There are too many foreigners......"
Speaking of this, Wang Jie couldn't help but worry about his homeland.
And there is another point that he did not tell his apprentice.
That is, he heard that Prash is just the most remote countryside in Citigroup, the equivalent of Mobei to China.
But in such a wild place, I have seen so many shocking machines.
If you go to the legendary East Coast, wouldn't it be full of foreign cars speeding and machines roaring everywhere?
Such a Citigroup, how can I compare with it?
What's more, Citigroup is nothing more than the bottom of the list of great powers.
How strong should England and France, which drove the first emperor and the empress dowager out of Beijing, be strong?
The more he learned about the machine, and the longer he spent in Citigroup, the more Wang Jie felt deeply worried about the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty.
Just like when Li Hongzhang traveled to Europe and the United States in history, when he looked at skyscrapers and steel monsters, he was the top figure in China, and he also had a suppressed and suffocating sense of powerlessness.
So much so that later Cixi declared war on all countries, and Li Hongzhang said the famous sentence "This is a chaotic life, and Guangdong will not serve the edict".
The same happened to teachers who visited Moscow.
It's just that in the arsenal, he stood beside his Georgian loving father and quietly watched the assembled missiles unloaded like flowing water, but his eyes flashed with a light of disappointment.
This is not something that the average person can do.
Wang Jie naturally couldn't do it.
He looked out the window at the lush and bright scenery and couldn't help but think that this land was so vast and so rich.
Over the years, with his outstanding craftsmanship and hard work, he has some savings.
Perhaps, as the apprentices said, is it better to save some more money, and then find a way to buy a house in the town and ask for a foreign wife?
Don't think about the yellow flower girl, those kiln sisters always have a good conscience, right?
Wang Jie pondered, this time he went to Seattle, should he also go to investigate first?
Although I have been there a few times before, I have been there for a while......
Bang!
Just when the disheartened old Chinese worker was thinking about his life plan, suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence.
……
This was the first time Zhu Fugui led his troops to fight.
It is said that it is leading troops, but in fact, it is also an exaggeration.
It's just a matter of going out with the soldiers and watching the battle from a distance to boost morale.
Zhu Fugui is self-aware.
As an only child who grew up in a peaceful era, Zhu Fugui has never even killed a chicken since he was a child.
If the animal rights of all kinds of insects are removed, then Zhu Fugui's only killing experience in his previous life is the frogs and rabbits that were killed in biology class.
This is thanks to his good high school, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the rabbit.
So Zhu Fugui handed over the command of the battle to Qi Wenchang.
Professional things are still done by professionals.
In any case, Qi Wenchang had the experience of commanding thousands of people in battle.
Although it is said that it includes peasant women and children in open crotch pants.
Of course, Qi Wenchang is not arranged according to the domestic tactics of this era of fighting indiscriminately with shotguns, cowardice and hand-to-hand combat, and white-knuckle combat.
In the past month, in addition to basic queue training and military physical fitness, Zhu Fugui's main task assigned to Zhang Changgui was to make the soldiers of each small banner proficient in trench warfare and charge warfare tactics.
This battle to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Prash Mine Protection Brigade should be organized and carried out with this new method of warfare.
And Zhu Dashuai himself, in line with the main purpose of strategizing, worked with the press officer Zhao Aqian on the commanding heights in the distance to observe the battle situation with a telescope.
This is not that Zhu Fugui is greedy for life and afraid of death.
But in these years, he really doesn't need to take the lead.
What if he dies young like Comrade Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger?
He didn't have a good son who could make a comeback.
……
Standing beside Zhu Fugui, Zhao Aqian would pick up the telescope for a while, and pick up a pen and paper to record the battle situation.
He has understood the significance of his position:
I am the witness of the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the disseminator of the Ming culture, and I must record the glorious Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty in detail:
"Da Ming Chongzhen 237 May 15 7:52.
The heroic and senseless 1st Division of the Royal Army successfully arrived at the designated combat site.
The First Division of the Royal Army is the dry city of our Great Ming Kingdom and is well-equipped.
In the projection of troops in this battle, our 1st Division demonstrated the world's leading mechanized transport capabilities.
Quickly and timely seized the powerful terrain.
In addition, the weapons of our army are also very advanced.
A total of 1 powerful new Xing-237 rifle, 20 Ferguson single-shot flintlock rifled rifles, 15 Kentucky rifles, and 100 gunpowder exciters of the Yin people's traditional craftsmanship.
Among them, the Xing-237 rifle is a new rifle invented by Dr. Xing, chief scientist and weapons expert of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences.
It is so powerful that it terrifies the enemy.
And the Ferguson single-shot flintlock rifled rifle and Kentucky rifle are both high-quality firearms with a historical heritage.
They were tested by the American Revolution 90 years ago.
are two tried-and-tested, trusted, proven rifles.
They are the backbone of our army's arsenal.
In addition, another high-quality weapon that has been incorporated into thousands of years of craftsmanship - the gunpowder arrow-loading ammunition launcher is currently the main long-range output means of our army.
……
As soon as the vehicle arrived, the soldiers of the 10th and 11th flags got out of the car, dug trenches with sapper shovels, and formed a barrier with barbed wire.
They move as fast as lightning, creating a trench for the enemy that symbolizes death.
The first, second, and third flags of the main force entered the bunker in time, and the steel guns in their hands were ready to shoot deadly tongues of fire at any time.
My fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth banners were responsible for outflanking the flanks and the rear flanks, ensuring that the enemy became a turtle in the urn.
……
The time is 10:20.
According to the accurate information sent back by the spies, the enemy will arrive within 1 to 2 hours.
Let's get ready for the celebration of the wine!
- War correspondent Zhao Aqian. ”
