Chapter 715: Snowfield attack (3)
This sneak attack, launched by the Qing army and the men of the royal palace, did not develop according to the plan of increasing the quota from the beginning. His original plan was to let Baqina and his subordinates ambush at the entrance of the ditch. Xiaslin, who heard the gunshots, then led the cavalry to charge from the hills and eliminate more than 30 Northern Navy through close combat.
However, due to Zhao Xin's temporary intention, he suddenly rode his horse to the top of the hill, causing Xia Silin, who was ambushed on the northwest side of the hill, thinking that he was about to be exposed, so he ordered his subordinates to shoot.
As soon as the gunshot sounded over there, Baqina, who was ambushing the snow pit at the exit of the valley, knew that something had happened. The arrow was on the string and had to fire it. Then he attacked Fan Tong and the others behind him.
Compared with the cavalry returning to the royal palace, the Liangzhou Manchu soldiers trained more frequently and had higher accuracy. Especially after the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of War was inspired by the "Type 79 rifled gun" of the Northern Navy's "Type 79 rifled gun" two years ago, and improved the proportion of the formula of the gunpowder of the mesh rope gun, the effective range of the musket increased from 90 meters to 110 meters, which was significantly improved.
The unlucky Fan Tong became the target because of his leader's behavior. As soon as he got up, he was shot and hit in the thigh. The bloody one ticked down his trouser legs. Two of the soldiers accompanying him were shot and dropped, one of them was the telegrapher carrying the radio station because he was next to Fan Tong.
When the deputy platoon leader of the guard saw that Fan Tong was injured, he was panicked. Without thinking, he asked everyone to cover him into a valley in the east, intending to find a place to provide emergency treatment.
However, after a strange rocky place in the valley was laid out, the chaotic deputy platoon leader remembered to send a telegram to the headquarters for help, but found that the telegraph officer and the radio station were gone...
How to say it? You should know that the Western Front troops set out from Kobedo to completing the battle goals, and the total number of personnel reductions in each unit was only more than 400, of which there were only more than 70 people who were truly combat reductions.
More than 10,000 troops were dispatched, and more than 70 people were killed or injured, which really made it impossible to even splash. This made the officers and soldiers of the Western Front generally feel complacent about being "the best in the world", and the guard platoons were no exception.
After Bachina and his team succeeded in one blow, they took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, but they were soon repelled by the rain of bullets that hit the head. So they had to launch feint attacks frequently, consuming the opponent's ammunition while also looking for a breakthrough. After Xiaslin finished the matter, they joined forces to kill the opponent.
Speaking of the convergence of Baccina and Hesheng's two horses, it was purely accidental. When the people who sent to the contingent to detect Zhao Xin and the others, they also discovered Baccina's people. Later, he discussed the ambush plan with Xiaslin, and on the other hand, he sent his confidant to contact Baccina. So just as Zhao Xin and the others were busy drinking and barbecue and nonsense, the two groups of people merged.
When Batchina learned about the sneak attack plan, he initially resisted. More than 20 of them traveled day and night for several days, and their physical strength was consumed too much. The problem was that he was unwilling to accept the increase in his quota and thought that the opportunity was once a lifetime, so he talked about it.
It is said that the Qing Dynasty adopted the "original rank" method in the appointment system of ministers in various places in Xinjiang, that is, what rank was it before being exiled, what rank was it, or what rank was it when he was a minister or a minister. This led to everyone being a governor and governor of the second and third ranks or above. The ministers in charge of each other's own jurisdiction, and they were not subordinate to each other, and they were responsible directly to the emperor. Only when encountering emergency matters such as civil rebellion, rebellion, invasion and other urgent matters, and the whole Xinjiang needs to coordinate actions in a unified manner, will the ministers in various places obey the "military and political control" of General Yili.
Although Bachina is just a third-rank assistant, and the second-rank he is promoted, because his chief officer is Shang'an, the governor of Wulumuqi, he can never skip the latter. Not to mention that the phoenix with the increase is now worse than a chicken. He wants soldiers but no soldiers, and has no territory.
However, after listening to the highly motivated remarks of the high-price increase, Batchina was moved. It was a pity to not eat such a large piece of fat meat in front of me. Besides, we have few enemies and are far away from the military camp. We can kill them without intention, so we can catch them off guard!
Another point is that Baqina and his Liangzhou Eight Banners soldiers were stationed in Xinjiang for many years and had never fought with the Northern Navy. Although the rumored Northern Navy is very terrifying and brave and fierce in combat, they feel that they are not bad either. As for the elite, they always have nostrils facing the sky, and the martial arts are second. They always have to take them out for a walk to find out if they are mules or horses!
However, when several feint attacks were suppressed by the opponent's dense firepower, and Jiang Fan and five soldiers suddenly killed and shot back, rushed into the valley and joined the people inside, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Liangzhou finally realized the power of the Northern Navy.
The reason why Jiang Fan agreed to join Fan Tong was because he was worried that there would be other enemies hiding on the way back. Instead of doing this, it would be better to be in a group and stand firm for help. Anyway, the guards brought field radio stations and could contact the headquarters at any time.
He learned that Fan Tong was injured as soon as he arrived, and was even more shocked when he saw the other party's pale face. The health officer reported that Political Commissar Fan was shot in the thigh. After emergency rescue, he had stopped the bleeding with a tourniquet and applied medicine. However, the problem now is that the bullet was stuck between the muscles and the femoral artery, and the bleeding point was on the femoral artery. Before there was enough external blood transfusion, he did not dare to take the bullet; the furthermore, the tourniquet could only be used for 40 to 50 minutes at most. After a long time, the mild case would have sequelae, and the severe case would have limb necrosis.
So Jiang Fan hurriedly asked the deputy platoon leader when the reinforcements from the headquarters arrived? Unexpectedly, the deputy platoon leader said with a sad face that the telegrapher was shot and was caught and forgot about the radio station in a panic. Jiang Fan almost fainted from anger and wanted to shoot him. However, he also knew that the attack could not happen at the moment, and the morale of the army should not be chaotic.
After calming down a little, Jiang Fan felt that the trouble was much more than that!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The distance between the attack site and the Jingyuan City Military Camp is about forty miles, and you will definitely arrive in an hour, but the problem is that the enemy situation is unknown. Even if you and others forcefully charge and try to cover the casualties, Fan Tong escapes, if there are ambushers ahead, wouldn’t they fall into the trap?
Compared to Fan Tong, who was seriously injured, he was actually more worried about Zhao Xin who disappeared. If that person had a few things, it would be a big deal if the sky fell!
With a chaotic mind, Jiang Fan felt that the best way to do so at present was to stick to it. When the headquarters noticed that something was wrong, he would send someone to help him. As for Fan Tong, he could only ask God for blessing.
At this time, in the forest outside the valley, the commander and the rising quota were confused by the field radio station seized from the dead telegraph soldiers. He had no idea what this thing was for.
The radio was installed in a camouflage backpack in the wild, with a half-meter-long antenna outside. When he tried to open the backpack, what appeared in his vision were five extremely weird black knobs, and an LCD screen half a palm-sized one, with some strange symbols constantly flashing and jumping on it.
This scared He's promoted and almost threw it away. As a general, he quickly felt that this thing was too evil. After bringing the things back to the Dongquan Temple, he asked the Taoists to set up a formation to do some tricks before carefully studying them.
In addition to the weird backpack, the weapons and fragmented equipment of the two dead North Sea soldiers attracted his attention; the rifles, daggers, field kettles, armored shovels, goggles, nylon-made armed belts, compass, tableware bags, first aid kits... There are a lot of dazzling arrays, and each piece is jealous.
Just like the increase in the quota, he could not throw away everything. You should know that these things, plus the sacrificed heads of the Northern Navy, were all the capital he asked the court for his life to save his life. Not only would the crime of losing land be avoided, but he would be successful in the future.
Many people in later generations have an impression that the Qing Dynasty punished civil and military officials who lost their lands very heavily, and only had the option of killing prison guards. Therefore, many generals and prefectures and county officials would choose to commit suicide when the city was lost. The more famous ones were He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang who led a 100,000 army but abandoned the city and fled, Ding Ruchang, who was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and Ye Zhichao, who was able to survive by Li Hongzhang.
In fact, in the "Da Qing Laws", the correct statement about the crime of losing land is that "the generals guarding the border lost the law of the city and the village, and they were intended to behead the prison guards", and it was only changed during the "Wang Lun Rebellion" in the 39th year of Qianlong. For example, in the third year of Yongzheng, it was stipulated that the generals guarding the border were invaded by the thief and plundered the people's law, and sent the border to assassinate the army.
But, well, it's hard to say. Since the Qing army always had defeats but not wins when facing the Northern Navy, if the generals were to be executed, Fu Kang'an would not escape death first, and then like Changlin, Songjun, Baoning, Qinggui, Mingliang, Sun Shiyi, and even Agui, they could not escape.
Qianlong felt that there were too many illegal people. If they were killed, no one would dare to lead troops to face the Northern Hai army. So in the 55th year of Qianlong, he stipulated a variety of circumstances that could be exempted from sentence reduction, such as just taking office, being surrounded for a long time, etc. Anyway, all the civil and military officials in the court understood that having a backstage would lead to life, and without a backstage would mean a dead end.
Although Heqian also has a backend, unfortunately, Agui died of illness last year, and he was unwilling to defect to Heshen. So this is troublesome. If you want to pay for your crimes with merit, you must have great merits.
The Qing Dynasty established a country with military power and had the greatest contributions in history. Since Shunzhi entered the pass, there were only six forms of military merit, namely, attacking cities, trapping battles, advancing with flags, pursuing enemies, and pursuing cities. As for the killing of people, there is no reward.
However, facing the Beihai Army that was defeated repeatedly, Qianlong, who was forced to do nothing to talk about "benevolence and righteousness". In order to inspire morale, he asked the Ministry of War to issue a "first-level reward" in the 52nd year of Qianlong's reign, and only targeted Beihai Town.
Simply put, for each ordinary soldier in the North Sea, you will be rewarded with 60 taels of silver, add one level of civil service, add one level of military service, and award one third-class merit card; lieutenant-level officers will be rewarded with 100 to 150 taels of silver, and awarded with Yunqiwei, add two level of civil service, and award one second-class merit card; school-level officers will be rewarded with 300 to 500 taels of silver, first-class male to first-class master, add three level of civil service, add three level of military service, and award one first-class merit card; if a senior official of the North Sea Army at the school level is above, he will be rewarded with 5,000 to 10,000 taels of silver, add five level of martial service, and award one first-class merit card.
And Zhao Xinmo...hehe! Whoever can get his head, reward 50,000 taels of silver, lift the flag of the green camp and promote the throne; the Eight Banners will be the first-class Duke, and the third generation will not surrender; in addition, the descendants can also obtain the rank of the generation.
As for whether someone would kill Liang and make achievements, Qianlong was not worried at all. You should know that outside the pass is not inside the pass. First of all, there are not so many good people to kill; secondly, most of the border residents outside the pass have become citizens of Beihai Town, and it is not unfair to kill them.
He Xuan was having a dream, and Xia Silin came back with his men. When he learned that the other party had lost more than 30 cavalry to kill five North Sea soldiers, almost everyone was injured. Baqina, who had already lost many of his subordinates, finally couldn't hold back.
"My Lord, I think we should withdraw. If we continue to fight like this, all the remaining people will be explained here!"
Xia Silin also agreed and said, "Yes! With the Lord, I will stay in the mountains without worrying about burning firewood. With these heads and seizures, I can also explain to the prince. The North Sea pirate is not a person with three heads and six arms. When we are strong and strong, we will definitely tell him that he will never come back."
"Um..." He and the rising forehead pondered for a moment, and although they were unwilling to give up, they still agreed to their request.
Retreat is not just about leaving. There are some specialties in it. The Northern Navy in the valley cannot be noticed. Otherwise, if the opponent strikes back, it will become a stolen chicken.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unexpectedly, just as the three of them discussed the retreat steps, a sharp whistling sound similar to "swoosh" passed through the forest, followed by several consecutive sounds. Immediately afterwards, the cavalrymen of Yiwei Camp, who had been sitting on their butts, fell into chaos. The howlings of ghosts and wolves in the forest came one after another, and almost everyone shouted "Hu Dayou", running around like a headless fly.
"What happened!" Xia Silin, the leader of the gang, grabbed a subordinate who was stumbled and ran over, and shouted loudly. The subordinate pointed to the northwest direction randomly and said in horror: "Ghost! There is a ghost!"
"I can't get together!" Xia Silin cursed "bastard" in Wei's words, raised his hand and slapped the other party in the face.
The subordinate didn't bother to cry out in pain, and covered his face and said, "Sir, there is such a ghost! Hu Da is above, three of us died silently! Two of our heads exploded!"
"What did he say?!"
He Sheng'er and Baqinna, who were on the side, couldn't understand Wei's words, so they quickly asked Xia Silin. When they learned about the situation, they suddenly changed their fear. They were both masters who had been fighting for a long time and never believed in the world. Don't ask, it must be the ones who did it by the North Sea!
He rushed to separate Xia Slin and the cavalryman and asked in Mongolian, "How many thieves have come?"
The cavalry didn't bother to kneel down in panic, and turned around and replied, "I don't know! It's because I didn't even see a figure that everyone... is a ghost!!!"
Before the soldier could finish his words, he suddenly felt a hot face, as if some hot liquid was spilling on his face. He turned his head inadvertently and let out a wail at the top of his throat. At the same time, he fell to the ground with his hands and feet, and kept retreating.
I saw that the ginseng leader who had just scolded him with an angry face, half of the sky spirit cover was gone, his strong body shook, and then he fell to the ground, his pink brain was clearly visible.
"Enemy attack!" He only fixed his forehead for a moment, and then suddenly woke up. Before he could wipe off the red liquid from his eyes, his butt was urinating behind a thick pine tree. When he hid behind the tree, the trunk on the other side with his back suddenly exploded at a height of about one meter, and countless wood chips splashed in scattered.
Immediately afterwards, the whistling sounds like miserable ghosts sounded again in the forest, swish~~swish~swish...
Suddenly, two black objects slightly larger than eggs flew past the air and fell in front of several anxious war horses one after another. They rolled on the ground for a few times before stopping. After the cavalrymen who were untiing the reins of the horse saw the thing clearly, their pupils instantly dilated. They had seen this thing before, and the North Sea soldiers on the hill used it to kill and injured many people!
Boom! As the violent explosions sounded one after another, several Yiwei Camp cavalry and the war horses beside them flew blood and flesh in the flames and smoke.
Until this moment, Batchina, who was hiding behind the tree with a bow and arrow, finally found that a grayish-white shadow seemed to be hiding behind the tree more than 60 steps to the west, and the two "shocking thunders" were thrown out from there.
Baccina didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly pulled the bowstring, turned around and raised his hand and shot it out. The bowstring made a "scarlet" sound, and the plum needle arrow more than three feet long shot out like a meteor. He was sure that he could hit the hateful sneak attacker, so he immediately dodged and hid back behind the tree as soon as the arrow took off his hand.
You should know that in the "Shifeng Castle Bloody Battle" in the 49th year of Qianlong, he shot 17 rioters to death with his own hands, almost killing people with arrows.
However, when he carefully poked his head out to check it a while later, he saw the arrow with a vermilion tail feather clearly inserted into the ground, obviously not hitting anything.
