Chapter 453 The Sea of ??Fire
"Suzhou City? Are you referring to Wuxian?"
The entire venue was already shocked by Liu Chang's speech. Even Zhu Jinlei, who has always been a show-off, reminded: "Check it out, are you talking about Suzhou City? That's Wuxian!"
Suzhou City is the richest area in the world. Any magistrate here is more glorious than the prefects in other places. Zhu Jinlei did not expect that Liu Chang would make such a bold decision. He wanted to confirm Liu Chang's thoughts again: "Are you talking about Suzhou City?"
"That's right!" Liu Chang had a complete plan in his heart: "Don't Mengtuban want Suzhou City? Then take it away. Napoleon conquered Moscow, but lost the entire Europe!"
Fortunately, the officers of the Hong Army have been popularized in Europe and France during this period, otherwise no one would know what the allusion Liu Chang said was, and Qu Jie asked urgently: "Your Highness King Yan, since our First Division does not go to Suzhou, where will we go?"
"Of course we go to Shanghai!" Liu Chang stared at several Russian infantry battalions on the map that were deployed along the Shanghai border: "Since the French have completely given up on the Russians, if we don't bite it hard and bite the Russians completely, wouldn't we be very sorry for the Mengtuo team? This time the First Division will be dispatched!"
The four words "All divisions are dispatched" made all officers hear the war drums. Since the First Division returned to the east of Jiangxi, there has never been a precedent for the entire division to be dispatched. They just dispatched an infantry regiment to bite heavily on the defense line of the French and Russian coalition forces, and Qu Jie had already understood Liu Chang's plan.
In the past, the First Division did not use all its power, at most it was the power of an infantry regiment. In this case, the results of annihilation of the enemy were very limited. Now, if you pull the First Division up, it would be like a tiger coming out of the mountain and an angry dragon entering the sea. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were enough to wipe out any enemy troops in front: "What your Highness means is that we are no longer limited to destroying enemy troops in one company or another?"
"Annihilation of one enemy company and one platoon. That is the mission of the land regiment!" Liu Chang said bluntly: "Even if the Russian army is in a garrison, our First Division can still destroy the enemy troops in the entire regiment and battalion, not to mention that we have more power besides the First Division!"
"No problem!" Qu Jie had already made up his mind on behalf of the officers of the First Division: "Even if we cross our First Division, we must let the Russians remember this war forever..."
...
Damn winter!
Captain Kejing looked at the snowflakes floating down, couldn't help but hug her body tightly, and then glanced at her wine pot greedily.
It is difficult to buy the most popular Vogat by Russian soldiers in Shanghai in the Far East, so Captain Kojing can only add some Chinese liquor to his own wine pot, but these inferior wines do not meet the taste of the Captain, and with the falling snowflakes, the Captain couldn't help but miss the Siberian wilderness.
It's so cold. There's no fire, no Vogat, only the cold air that's so cold that it's so cold that it's inside. Captain Kojing thinks it's colder than Siberia in the north. This may be the coldest winter in Captain Kojing's life.
However, compared to the cold wind from Siberia, the Chinese's endless offensive made Captain Kojing rush in his bones. This is not a warm feeling that Volga can warm, but an endless nightmare in Captain Kojing's life. Every night, Captain Kojing would dream that the Chinese would rush into the town and shoot ruthlessly against the Russian soldiers under his command.
At the thought of this, he stood up. He took a sip of cold wine and patrolled the town, but only saw some mule-like Russian infantrymen who looked at their boss indifferently and then poured two sips of wine in their mouths-even if it wasn't Vogat.
Because they knew that Captain Kojing could not solve the big problem. The gun holes and bullet marks left by the Chinese attack last time were all stopped there. Six people were killed and seventeen people were injured in that attack. In the end, only a cold commendation order was received by the commander of the Mengtuo squad.
However, these soldiers from the Russian land have endless difficulties to solve. They were not happy in this distant country, and they could not even find a few Russian-speaking translators. Their food and use were very different from those in Russia, not to mention that they would be frequently attacked by Chinese rebels here.
This feeling of loneliness that is far away from the local area has become even more sad due to letters. The wife and parents in their hometown accused that it was another painful year, and the official took away all the harvest. If they did not send the money back, perhaps someone would starve to death this winter. They also took such letters to Captain Kejing for help, but Captain Kejing could not solve any problem.
The authority and resources he had were too limited, and he didn't even know how to send a war death notice to the soldiers' families, let alone solve their actual difficulties. Therefore, in this winter, the soldiers avoided Captain Kojing with cold eyes.
There was endless bleakness in the distance. This town was originally a bustling small market town, but since 300 Russian troops entered the town, the Hongjun had attacked the town seven times, and the local civilians had suddenly decreased by 70%. The Russian soldiers' emotions became increasingly fierce. They even opened fire at all suspicious targets that were approaching the garrison.
All of this made Kokin, the Russian captain, nostalgic for the kindness of his motherland, but today's situation made him even more nostalgic.
The Chinese people who are commonly seen in the town suddenly decreased a lot. According to experience, this is a warning for the attack by the Hongjun, so he had to tell the soldiers: "My soldiers, the Chinese may launch a new wave of offensives, let us wipe our rifles and give them a fatal blow. Believe me, this is the strongest fortress in eastern China!"
Captain Kojing had considerable confidence in the defense line he built. As he claimed, this should be the strongest fortress in eastern China. There were 300 Russian soldiers, 60 foreign legions that the French had been to come from, and 500 Qing army. The Hong Army once attacked with the strength of an infantry regiment, but it ended in failure.
Fortunately, some companies and platoon-level positions were at the back of the defense line. A mobile infantry company could be used to support Captain Kojing's garrison at any time. Therefore, Kojing did not think that his defense line was in danger of being broken, but when he thought of this, he heard the sound of cannons in the distance. A few minutes later, a scout had already reported bad news to Captain Kojing with panic: "There are many Chinese troops in the west..."
This was expected by Captain Kojing. As he received the news, the French used all their strength in Suzhou Prefecture, and the Chinese would definitely concentrate their strength to give heavy blows to the Russian garrison as usual, and sometimes they would even annihilate the entire Russian garrison in the entire company.
"How many people are there? One regiment? Two battalions?"
Captain Kojing wanted to find out if there were Chinese people participating in the attack on the Russian garrison. Based on past experience, the Chinese usually dispatched an infantry regiment, and sometimes there were only two infantry battalions. Although the troops were small, it was a fatal threat to the Russian garrison at the company level.
But his reconnaissance team reported a number that almost made him jump: "Ten thousand people...at least ten thousand people, there are Chinese troops within dozens of miles, all over the mountains and fields!"
"How is this possible!" Captain Kojing felt that the scout was crazy: "Tell me, how many Chinese are there!"
"At least ten thousand people!"
He still didn't believe this number and immediately ordered: "Prepare a war horse for me, I don't believe that the Chinese will be so crazy!"
He wanted to confirm the authenticity of this number, but only three kilometers away from the town, he saw the remnants of an infantry platoon on the front line retreating: "At least 10,000 Chinese attacked us. We couldn't even hold on for half an hour, so we were forced to retreat. The adjacent infantry platoon had been eaten by the Chinese!"
The pursuit troops of the Hong Army followed behind. Soon Captain Kejing saw a tide of rebels attacking the defense line of the garrison. The outer defense line that could have blocked the rebels for at least one day is now vulnerable. The infantry platoons and infantry companies deployed outside were almost immediately breached by the Central ** team, which was in absolute advantage, at the first time.
Captain Kojing's face turned a little white. He didn't expect that the situation was so bad that the defense line outside was like paper. You should know that in the past these positions could at least block the Chinese for a day or even half a week, so that the Russian troops in the rear could have sufficient mobility, but now the garrison positions are directly under the siege of the rebels.
Therefore, Captain Kojing could only bring these remnants of the Russian army back to his garrison, but when they just entered the town, the Hongjun rifles had already opened fire on the outside of the town, and the donkey-like Russian soldiers began to run back to their positions, but Captain Kojing still had only rebel troops like a tide in his eyes.
Although a company that rushed from the rear had arrived, Kojing still did not have enough confidence in the garrison. The scouts were right. At least 10,000 rebels were attacking their own defense line, and under his command, there were at most five hundred Europeans and five hundred Chinese government troops with unreliable combat power.
If the Kojing garrison collapses, the ** garrisons in the rear of the platoon will be wiped out by the Chinese with a thunderous offensive. Therefore, Kojing had to dictate the order immediately: "Our army was attacked by at least 100,000 rebels and urgently needed support and urgently needed support! If the support cannot be in place, the garrison will be at the point of being wiped out by the rebels!"
His voice became very urgent and sharp: "Tell Mengtuban to stop the Suzhou battle and immediately stop this shit-like battle. Russia is on the tip of the Chinese!"!~!
