Due to the technical limitations of trains at that time, the Guanwai Army could take a train with a maximum of 2,500 to 3,000 people at a time, and the time difference between the two trains was about half an hour.
This kind of ambush battle is very particular when it comes to fighting. You can't let the enemy discover your traces, so hiding soldiers is very skillful.
Wang Qingtuo's side is Ming, telling all the intelligence agencies in the world that the limit of our rebels' sphere of influence is here, and the disguise is clever. We have elite soldiers pretending to be rubbish rebels, so that you don't feel the slightest threat.
This is called hiding darkness in the light!
And this place at Yangcun Station is called hiding in secret! With the help of the British, they secretly hid three thousand dead soldiers. Their task was to wait for the train Hunchun was riding to arrive, and then blow up the train to launch the attack!
No matter whether Hunchun can be killed or not, the railway will definitely be cut off by then. As soon as the railway is cut off, three thousand dead men will immediately launch an attack!
Being prepared or unprepared, Zai Tu and the others will definitely win this battle. There was an explosion on Yangcun's side, and Wang Qingtuo's side immediately raised troops!
The straight-line distance between the two places is only more than 20 kilometers. For more than 40 miles, the infantry can reach there in two hours just relying on their legs. Not to mention that Ronglu and Yisiha have also prepared a lot of pack horses, so that the time can be compressed to About an hour.
In an hour, Hunchun's Guanwai Army could only get two more carloads of soldiers, and it was unclear whether they could fight if they were caught off guard. Zai Tu got the first carload of Guanwai Army.
Then defend tightly and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, wait for the work, and then eat two cars of foreign troops, that will be no problem at all!
In this night of bloody battle, as long as we can kill Hunchun, or capture him alive, and then eat three or four cars of foreign troops, killing 8,000 people is enough!
With such a record, Guiziliu can announce his victory to the whole world, and he can brag about the results at will!
By that time, it will not be the people's hearts in the capital that have changed dramatically, but even the hearts of the people in the world will have to follow the changes. By then, the envoys sent by Guiziliu to various places to supervise the governor will really become guests.
As long as one leader from each province declares allegiance to Yixin, the dominoes of the Qing Dynasty will also fall!
Guiziliu is not stupid and only knows how to fight on the battlefield. What he wants is to use war to push the first domino, and what he wants is the trend of falling!
Time passed by, and in the darkness there were British intelligence officers patrolling outside the station. This man secretly knocked on the window of the warehouse, and then put his mouth to the gap in the window and said.
"The latest information... there was a little commotion at Tangshan Station, which delayed the train... Hunchun will take the third train to the capital, and the estimated arrival time here is 9:30 tonight..."
After saying that, the sneaky spy left the place quickly. Inside the window, Zai Tu looked at his pocket watch by the starlight, "Give me the order, everyone can eat a beef stick, a biscuit, and a small amount of river water at this moment..."
"Don't make a sound, conserve your energy... get ready for the bloody battle tonight!"
The net has been opened, and just waiting for the target to hit him, Can Yun Zheyue seems to be the time for the Lord of Hell to recruit him again!
These officers of the Jingwu Heroes Association have gradually come across the existence of this network through careful war games. They are not yet completely sure, but their hands groping in the dark are almost touching ghosts.
The rise of the Chinese nation has really cultivated a lot of talents. Jiang Lie, Pang Chaoyun, and Ye Qiu were all ordinary soldiers at the beginning. Because of their bravery in battle and their accumulated merits, they got the opportunity to study in the military academy.
Even Ma Hui, who was originally a green battalion soldier from the Dagukou Fort, relied on his hard work to earn an official position!
What is the final result of intense study? That is to allow a group of officers who are ordinary soldiers to conduct war games with these top students studying in the UK!
There is nothing difficult in the world. The key depends on whether you are willing to learn. As long as your IQ is above the passing line, your efforts will definitely pay off.
The telegrams from the Jingwu Heroes Association were put to good use. Telegrams were sent one after another to the capital, to Naha, to Tanggu, and to various unspecified secret contact points.
Just like a stone thrown on a calm lake, ripples immediately spread out, and the ripples that returned after a while also impacted the people of the Jingwu Heroes Association.
The first to receive feedback were the four brothers from the Chinese ethnic group. Jiang Lie looked at the top-secret telegram in his hand and was stunned for a moment, "Huh? The military department sent an emergency telegram to the four of us, saying that we would return to Tanggu Industrial Zone immediately and that there were urgent military arrangements. !”
"I didn't say what it was, but we asked to return immediately. If the train is not available, we will ride on horseback. We are not allowed to stay!"
The four of them could not delay the military order. Leaving behind Xiang Lang, Deng Shichang and a group of heroes, Jiang Lie and others turned around and left. Guards surrounded several people on horseback on the post road in the west.
Xiang Lang stood at the gate and looked at the disappearing people for a long time, speechless. After he could no longer see the figures, he sighed, "Hey... these are the big guys, they don't want you to get involved! Brother, are you fighting?" He is a good player, but he has only been fighting in this life, and his political sense is too bad..."
Jiang Lie and the others suffered this loss. After all, they were officers with civilian backgrounds. If they could reach this level, they would be at the top.
To move up the ladder, you must be proficient in court politics, but most of this experience and knowledge is locked in the hands of aristocratic families. Cai Bixia, Lin Zhen, Fatty Jin... these are the ones who are born to be high-ranking officials!
Even Xiang Ying later had to rely on a little private teaching from the head of state and other aristocratic families to pass!
Jiang Lie and the others had no idea that in a remote bathroom at the Chinese military headquarters, an officer with a gloomy face was smoking.
The light from the cigarette butt flickered, and the outline of his face could be seen, but it was impossible to tell who it was.
Halfway through the cigarette, the sound of grinding wheels rubbing against flint suddenly sounded, and a silver lighter with a steel seal commemorating the victory of the Second Battle of Tanggu burst into flames.
The telegram that Jiang Lie and the others just sent was swallowed up by the flames and turned into fly ash and fell into the toilet!
"You guys all scored high in the war game. With such limited information, you were able to deduce that the Japanese Six were feigning an attack on the Yongding River, and that the main attack direction might be in Tianjin... That's great!"
"You are talented commanders. The military academy did not train you in vain!"
"But it's a pity that you have no political talent at all... and you actually believe the nonsense that the head of state said about supporting Emperor Tongzhi?"
"The head of state agreed, but our hundreds of millions of Chinese people did not agree! There is a civil war between the Tartars, and you are so idle that you have to join in and mix in?"
"You guys will be stuck at the brigade-level ceiling in this life, and you will never be able to reach the division-level commanders!"
Huhuhu... While he was talking to himself, the sea breeze from outside suddenly blew in, and the closed windows made a clanging sound.
Raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky. Through the window, he could see busy figures in the white nursing building of the military headquarters not far away.
General Luo Huo is busy and busy, asking military intelligence agencies from various places to compile the latest intelligence.
Of course, it also includes this piece of information that was just burned, but it's a pity that many people don't want Luo Huo to see this piece of paper!
