In total, the number of soldiers killed by Wu Dong's men exceeded 12,000.
Although the methods used were a bit dirty, the actual number of enemies annihilated was there, and there was no need to worry about some of the methods.
It can be regarded as a different kind of special tactics, and the effect is quite obvious.
A total of more than 20,000 troops landed in the small day, and more than half of them were lost in one fell swoop. The remaining troops will be easier to deal with.
Of course, we can't be careless, let alone play head-on confrontation with the small-time army. At this time, the Boxer armed forces are not yet equipped to fight positional warfare.
He still has this bit of self-awareness.
Fortunately, there are too many means that can be used. As long as the last small group of people can be successfully divided, victory will not be lost.
At this time, Senior Brother Wu, with his trusted men and horses who had returned from victory, temporarily went to the nearest Boxer farm to repair, and at the same time collected information about the last small army.
Although experts among the Boxers were dispatched to harass the Xiaotian army at night with firecrackers and firecrackers, the effect was unknown.
The next day, this little army broke out of camp and set off as normal.
As the news continued to be gathered, Wu Dong did not stay at the Boxer Farm, but took the two thousand rangers who had rested for a few hours, and the rotating three thousand musketeers to embark on the journey again.
On the other side, the senior general of the last small army did not receive any information from the other two groups, and suddenly bad thoughts flashed through his mind.
Those are two units with more than 12,000 troops. No matter what happens, they will all be reimbursed after just two days of landing, right?
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, this guy subconsciously stepped up his vigilance and sent investigators five miles away.
The firecrackers and firecrackers that harass people at night still have some impact on the small army.
On the other side, Admiral Ding of the Beiyang Navy, who was stationed at the Weihai Guard Port, also received the war report from Senior Brother Wu in a timely manner.
After another complete annihilation of the Xiaori army, the remaining Xiaori army and the Weihai Guard Port must fight for a while.
Admiral Ding was surprised and happy. What he was happy about was that Senior Brother Wu was really reliable and wiped out two small armies in two consecutive days.
I'm also shocked by this. Are those boxers really so powerful?
Could it be that after two days of fighting, the boxers had suffered heavy casualties and lost the ability to continue fighting?
Otherwise, with the arrogance of Senior Brother Wu, it is impossible to directly state that he wants to Weihaiweijun Port and stand alone for a while.
Admiral Ding felt guilty and called a group of navy generals to discuss countermeasures. However, they all resisted, and he did not have the courage to fight against the Xiaoli army.
Moreover, they still don't believe in the results of Wu Dong and the Boxers, but they just don't have the guts to question it at this time.
"No matter what, Weihai Guard Port must be defended, otherwise we will all have to die to apologize, and no one can escape!"
Admiral Ding was so angry that he immediately put down his harsh words and turned around to leave.
There were many informants of Senior Brother Wu in the Weihaiwei navy camp, and the news quickly reached his ears.
It’s not that Senior Brother Wu is being pretentious, he always wants to let the navy officers and soldiers come into contact with the small army.
Otherwise, when the troops who landed on Xiaori were defeated in the future, the navy would be greedy for merit and would be unceremonious. They would think that Xiaori's army was easy to fight and would not feel any gratitude at all.
As a result, Wu Dong still overestimated the combat effectiveness of our Qing army.
Damn it, he reminded him repeatedly, and he kept harassing the last group of people in the little life along the way.
Not to mention torturing them to exhaustion, at least they consumed a lot of energy, and their morale dropped by at least five levels.
However, this young army was very lucky. It avoided several minefields in a row, and even the campsite at night was in an environment that was not prone to sneak attacks.
I never found the best opportunity, so I could only follow them piecemeal, killing and injuring almost two thousand small soldiers, and they all arrived at the outer defense zone of Weihaiwei.
As a result, the army's artillery bombardment and the fierce crowd charge almost scared the defenders to the point of diarrhea.
Fortunately, Wu Dong was wandering nearby with his troops. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately pulled out the four cannons accompanying him and directed the unfamiliar artillerymen to blast randomly at the Xiaori army formation.
In addition, the four Gatling Bodhisattvas are also ready to cross fire.
Coupled with the active cooperation of our own boxer brothers within the Navy, we were able to barely cope with the crazy offensive in the early days.
By this time, Wu Dong no longer dared to count on the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy.
The sea area where Weihaiwei belongs is still fighting a naval battle at this time. If the navy officers and soldiers are not good, it may really collapse directly.
I can only say that fortunately Wu Dong arranged enough manpower for the Weihai Navy.
It's not an exaggeration to say that all of these guys are willing to die. At least in terms of courage, they are much stronger than the completely corrupted navy officers and soldiers.
At least, when faced with the threat of the small-time navy, they were the ones who used coastal defense guns and cannons from warships parked in the military port. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Wu Dong also did not expect that after the Beiyang Navy's elite generals suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Dadonggou, the navy's combat effectiveness would drop so exaggeratedly.
I have no choice but to bring someone else to do it myself and get some useful stuff.
Boom boom boom...
Homemade grenades, accompanied by the roar of the Rangers, fell like dense raindrops from the sky from more than a hundred meters away.
They all exploded in the air, shattering and sending smoke and dust billowing everywhere.
The dense formation of the Xiaori army suddenly became chaotic. Some were injured, some were squinting due to the thick smoke, and some were choked and coughing. In short, the originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic.
Bang bang bang...
The four Gatling Bodhisattvas suddenly spurted out blazing tongues of fire, like four chains of fire galloping horizontally. Wherever they passed, a crowd of people turned on their backs and their stumps and broken arms flew across the sky.
Under the strong suppression of the four Gatling Bodhisattvas, the formation of Xiaori's army became even more chaotic, and even seemed to be peeled off, revealing layers of dense formations.
A group of hundreds of musketeers kept moving around and flexibly. When they found an opportunity, they fired in a neat row, giving the Xiaotian army continuous attacks.
After such a series of tactics, some of the young troops who wanted to prevent Senior Brother Wu from supporting the Weihai Guard Port were beaten to the point of confusion and embarrassment.
The originally dense formation was in chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack.
Seeing that the rear line was about to lose its stability, the main force of the Xiaori army, which was attacking the outer positions of the Weihai Guard Port on the front line, had to slow down its offensive to stabilize the rear line.
Boom boom boom...
The army in the early days was not without combat power. When they reacted, they immediately turned their guns and charged at where the four Gatling Bodhisattvas and groups of musketeers were. They fired sharp shells one after another. Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of explosions.
The position was filled with smoke and dust.
"Let's go, let's not fight with Xiaoli!"
In just a few breaths, the two Gatling Bodhisattva doors were blown up, which made Wu Dong, who was on the high ground behind, extremely distressed.
In addition, the scattered brothers of the musketeers were also attacked by artillery shells and were blown away and suffered heavy losses. He hurriedly ordered a retreat.
This time, it was a huge loss.
They are all men who have practiced martial arts for at least three years. Not to mention how well-trained they are, as long as they don't mess up their position, they can retreat quite quickly.
Braving the increasingly fierce artillery fire, the group turned around and ran away. The transfer was completed in just half a stick of incense.
Looking back at the battlefield with heavy losses, Wu Dong felt indescribably depressed.
You are so careless, you are so careless...
He actually expected the Qing army to hold back the main force of Xiaozhi, but in the end he almost got himself involved.
No, I really can’t swallow this breath, I must make my little life beautiful.
On the other hand, the senior generals of the Xiaori army were so angry that they almost fainted.
In just a short period of time, the rearguard's losses exceeded 2,000. Such a loss of troops gave him a headache.
The most important thing is that I still can't figure out the other party's specific situation.
There were basically no prisoners, and those who could survive the artillery fire were mostly killed by the resentful lower-level officers and soldiers.
It can be seen from the clothes on the bodies of these deceased that the opponents are not regular members of the Qing army, but rather local regiment training troops.
The situation in the Qing Dynasty was basically very clear to the senior generals in my childhood.
I don’t know why, but the regular armies of the Qing Dynasty are often not very good at fighting. On the contrary, elites appear from time to time in local regiment training.
Is it possible that they also met the elites from the local team training?
It's just that the opponent's fighting power is a bit too strong.
Moreover, the tactical application is also quite appropriate and can bring out one's own advantages.
But no matter what, the pressure of fighting on both sides is too great, and today's battle cannot go on no matter what.
On the other side of the Weihai Guard Port, seeing that the main force of the small day had stopped its violent attack, all the generals, including Navy Admiral Ding, breathed a sigh of relief and felt as if they were rushing to survive the disaster.
However, what makes Admiral Ding depressed is that he owes Senior Brother Wu a huge favor this time. How can he repay it in the future?
In the evening, Wu Dong and his subordinates, who had repaired themselves a lot, quietly sneaked towards the place where Xiaoli was camping.
This time, Wu Dong was cruel and decided to use some means to suppress the situation.
Let Xiaozhi see what the coverage strike of a homemade rocket launcher is.
It's great to have artillery, I'm not bad at all!
Boom boom boom...
It was midnight again, and after killing all the outposts sent by Xiaori's army, rows of long iron pipes the size of children's fists were deployed two miles away, raising their heads high and exposing their openings in the direction of Xiaori's camp.
When Wu Dong gave the order, homemade rockets soared into the sky one after another, flying over the place where Xiaori was camping at an astonishing speed, and then exploded violently, setting off a storm of gravel in the sky, and at the same time, there were endless sparks.
At the same time, thousands of musketeers who had advanced about a mile to the Xiaori camp suddenly let out a shout, first throwing out a dense rain of grenades, and then bursts of gunfire...
