Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Colonel Schummel of the French Army who was in charge of guarding Kebledpur walked around the room uneasy. He was of medium build and handsome in appearance. Because he had been insisting on climbing mountains for exercise, he was also very strong.He knew that Keboldpur, which he was about to guard in front of him, would be a turning point in his military career for decades, or he would become a national hero and be loved by millions of citizens, or he would become a defeated man and be insulted and abused by Wanfu. curse.But the Chinese army is coming in menacingly, will my fame of the first life be buried here?

After the battle on the 207 Heights started, the 290th Regiment then launched a fierce attack on the 208 Heights. Height 208 is a protruding cliff. The French army has carefully prepared for a period of time here. All the perforations and the pointing targets of the artillery have predicted the prepared scales and elements. The crossfire can block the attacking roads everywhere and Can support each other, in the eyes of the French, this is foolproof.The terrain here is high and low, and the artillery and tanks can't come up at all, so the soldiers can only charge up with their lives.Colonel Schummel has inspected here many times. He believes that 208 high and low is a sharp knife and an impenetrable iron gate.

When there was a burst of artillery roaring from the direction of the 207 highland, the headquarters of the 290 regiment issued an attack order to the assault unit.Captain Liu Changsheng led the commando, and silently moved towards the front of the 208 Heights. The commando held a gun in one hand and a grenade with its cap unscrewed in the other.About seven or eight meters away from the French position, the French sentinel heard the movement and shouted loudly: "The Chinese army is coming up, the Chinese army is coming up!"

Because the 207 highland started first, the French army on the 208 highland was already prepared.

Liu Changsheng gave an order, and dense grenades were thrown at the firepower point of the French army. The machine guns on the firepower point went silent, and the commando forcibly captured the forward position.But when soldier Ji Haifeng held up a grenade and was about to throw it at a concealed firepower point, a firepower point that had never been exposed suddenly opened fire, and a swarm of bullets knocked Ji Haifeng to the ground.Liu Changsheng helped him bandage the wound, and said in an orderly tone, "Get out of here immediately."

The commander of the French battalion guarding Height 208 reported the battle situation on Height 208 to Colonel Schummel by telegram.Facing the sand table, Schummel realized that the Dragon Army's attack on the 207 and 208 highlands was to open the gate to Kebo Radpur.He decisively ordered: "The artillery fire from all the highlands supports the 207th and 208th highlands at the same time. The artillery must hold these two highlands if they want to block and shoot the attacking Chinese army!"

When the commandos climbed to the firepower point on the second floor, the French artillery fire from the five highlands on the west and right poured down on the 208th highland one after another.The few large rocks on the hillside were all blown into rubble, and the uniforms and shoes of the commando soldiers were also burnt, exuding an unpleasant smell of burning.In this brutal attack, the commandos suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only six members, and three of them are even wounded.

Liu Changsheng looked up at the main peak of Height 208, and saw smoke rising and flames shining, and the artillery fire of the Dragon Army was also violently bombarding the French army's firepower point on the mountain.He carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then ordered the commando to bypass the entanglement of the enemy in front of him, and detour from the left. The French army on Heights 208 discovered their attempt, and a burst of machine gun bullets hit like a wind, and two members of the commando were shot immediately.The battalion commander of the French army guarding the main peak had an idea, and ordered a French captain to lead a squad of soldiers from the left side to the back of the French army, attacking the commando from both sides, intending to capture these dragon soldiers alive in one fell swoop. .They groped down from the mountain and quietly came up from the rear of the commandos.

Liu Changsheng heard a chattering sound, and found that more than a dozen French soldiers were coming down from the back of the mountain, ready to attack the backs of their teammates.The commandos in front of them haven't noticed the French army coming from behind. If the French soldiers get closer and shoot suddenly, the commandos will face a desperate situation.

Suddenly, the semi-automatic rifle in Liu Changsheng's hand let out a crisp sound. One of the unsuspecting French soldiers was killed on the spot, and the others lay on the ground in a hurry, not daring to move.The commandos in front heard the gunshots behind them, and also spotted the outflanking French, and quickly took advantage of the rocks to hide.The captain of the French army found that there was only one Chinese soldier attacking them, and his lungs exploded immediately. He danced and shouted: "There is only one Chinese, catch the alive!" He took the lead and rushed up.

When the French captain was about to rush forward, Liu Changsheng firmly pulled the trigger. The captain writhed a few times in pain, and then fell heavily on a rock.The French soldiers who were rushing up after him saw that the official was dead, turned around and ran, just bumped into the soldiers of the Dragon Army who came up for reinforcements, and were attacked at both ends. The spirit, soon surrendered his weapons and became a prisoner of the Chinese.

At this time, the artillerymen of the Dragon Army braved the intensive artillery fire of the French army and pushed the cannons to a distance of 500 meters from the front with all their strength. On the cliff on the west bank of the Chaou River on the left side of the 208 highland, there is a dangerous "tiger's mouth". thick stone walls.Only the muzzles of the black holes were exposed.

Because the artillery of the Dragon Army changed places after firing a few shots, it was difficult for the French army to find their exact location, and the trees were tall and the forests were dense.Many of the French artillery shells were blocked by the canopy, so they were not very powerful.Afterwards, the dragon army once again launched the most violent offensive since the start of the war.

The French army concentrated all its forces on the side of the main peak, preparing for the final resistance.Their three heavy machine guns formed a fan-shaped fire net, sealing off the passage leading to the main peak in an airtight manner.A machine gun squad of the Long Army disassembled the heavy machine gun, carried a large piece by one person, rushed to the firepower point of the French army under the rain of bullets, reassembled it, and swept towards the place where the French army's machine gun roar was fired.

The French army found the target, and several machine guns fired at them. A stray bullet cut a gash in the right cheek of a machine gunner, and the blood flowed all over his face.

In order to stop the charge of the dragon army, the French army set fire to the pines and cypresses and shrubs on the position. Suddenly, the fire on the mountain shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and a wall of fire blocked the advance of the dragon army.

The brave soldiers of the Dragon Army had no fear. With fire and gunpowder smoke, they fought hand-to-hand with the French army.In front of such a powerful army, the fighting spirit of the French soldiers was completely broken. They no longer resisted, but took the initiative to put down their weapons, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, and waited to be captured by the Chinese. Heights 207 and 208 have all fallen into the hands of the Dragon Army. The two gates of the French right-wing defense system have been opened, and Kebole de Boul has been completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Dragon Army's attack.

When the front line was in full swing, Lieutenant General Pete, who was worried about the right wing, sent Joseph to Kebradpur. He wanted to encourage the soldiers, and he wanted to find ways for the coalition to resist China's crazy offensive.Schummel was half lying on the camp bed, his stomach troubled again, his haggard face was sallow, and the unkempt beard on his chin was more than an inch long.At this moment, he was resting his chin on the combat sand table, listening to the combat staff pointing to the sand table non-stop, explaining the combat situation at 208 Heights.

Three Thousand Miles of Wind and Thunder Chapter 695 Encirclement and Anti-encirclement

Joseph opened the door and walked in. He patted his old friend Schummel on the shoulder lightly, and comforted him: "My old friend, you have worked hard. See what I brought you?"

He took out a small package from the pocket of his military uniform, put it in Schummel's hand and said, "This is the latest stomach medicine produced in the UK, and it will be effective once you drink it."

Schmel looked at Joseph with a bitter face: "Thank you, my friend, but what I need now is not stomach medicine, but ammunition. We are running out of ammunition on the ground!"

"Please rest assured that the supplies are on the way. In a day or two at most, all the supplies you need will be delivered. Now please talk about the war here. General Pete is very concerned." Joseph said.

Putting his hand on his stomach, Schummel stood up, took off a military commander, walked to the sand table and said, "Highland 207 has been occupied by the Chinese army. I think the main reason for losing the position is the lack of troops. There are so many soldiers, all over the mountains and plains, I even doubt if we have enough bullets to shoot them!"

"How many troops do they have?" Joseph asked worriedly.

"So far, the Chinese army has invested at least one division in Heights 207. On the entire front, they have at least several armies fighting." Schmeler, who didn't know the situation very well, expressed his judgment.

In fact, if Colonel Schummel knew that the attack on the dangerous 207 Heights was only less than a regiment of the Dragon Army's strength, and the real main force had not even appeared, I don't know what kind of expression he would have.

Joseph believed deeply in Schummel's words, and he said with self-comfort: "If this is the case, we have at least withstood the attacks of several Chinese divisions, and we have fulfilled our responsibility. The war is not over yet, and the outcome remains to be seen." There is no final decision, let's wait and see."

"The battle on the main peak of the 208th highland was very tragic." Schummel took some stomach medicine and said: "We have repelled at least ten group charges by the Chinese. The Chinese army is indeed very terrifying. Judging from each attack , Their battle formations are maintained very well. The firepower equipment is also quite reasonable, and the tactical actions are simple and practical; but the most terrifying thing is, Joseph, my friend, the desperate spirit of them that is not afraid of death, there is a kind of life-threatening The spirit of fear that overwhelms everything!"

Joseph frowned and said, "If you replenish the ammunition and supplies you urgently need in time, how long do you think you can last?"

Schmeler said without hesitation: "I think we can hold on for at least a month. Please tell General Pete. The French soldiers are equally brave, and their determination to defend the position is no less than that of the Chinese soldiers!"

However, the staff officer next to him didn't seem to believe Schmel's rhetoric. He pointed to the sand table and said, "Colonel, I would like to ask a question. If the 208 highland is lost, how many troops do we have to defend Kebradpur?" ?”

"There are still two battalions, but young people. Height 208 is foolproof. I don't think you need to worry about that." Schummel glanced at the young staff officer very dissatisfied.

Joseph stood up and said emphatically, "The strength of the 208 Heights needs to be strengthened, and we can consider sending two more companies there. One must know that once the 208 Heights are lost, then Kebo Radpur will face Chinese artillery fire." Direct attack, and in the entire right-wing defense system, the position of Kebo Radpur is too important. If it is occupied by the Chinese, let alone you and me, even General Pete will have dinner in a Chinese prisoner-of-war camp gone."

After Joseph and his party left, Schummel silently walked them to the door.A person was meditating on the bed when the sound of gunfire in the distance suddenly stopped, and the surrounding mountains fell into an eerie silence.

The young combat staff officer came out and handed a telegram to Schummel, and the colonel only glanced at it before an unnatural and painful expression appeared on his face.

"It's over, the 208 highland is lost, and the Chinese are cheering on the highland." Schummel almost wanted to cry, and the promise he had sworn just now disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When Joseph left Kebradpur, the sky began to drizzle. Since the war with the Chinese army, he had never had a day of comfort. The armored legion broke through the attack many times, but one of them couldn't withstand a charge of the dragon army. Coupled with this kind of ghost weather, I felt more and more gloomy and cold.

In less than an hour, the cannons of the Dragon Army began to bombard Keboledpur, making the whole Keboledpur tremble.The Chinese soldiers were not in such a rush to attack the city as they were attacking the two highlands 207 and 208, but quietly watched Kebo Radpur being ravaged by artillery fire. It seemed to them that they could sing leisurely songs after a while Step into this ruin.

After more than an hour of bombardment, the city wall of Keboledpur was destroyed everywhere, and the city gate had been blasted to nowhere.Finally, the Chinese artillery stopped, but from the top of the city, the artillerymen were preparing for the second round of shelling. It seemed that they would not be reconciled if they did not blow up Kebo Radpur into powder.

It is a pity that the New Crusaders did not want to give the Chinese artillery a second chance to bombard them. Accompanied by several staff officers, the French Colonel Schummel, the commander of the city defense of Kebledpur, walked out holding a white flag...

From the beginning to the present, it took only 8 hours for the Dragon Army to capture Kebo Radpur, two hours earlier than the original plan, which also created favorable conditions for the British army in Delhi to be wiped out.

On the left, Chen Cheng's department is also progressing very smoothly. They have formed a situation that echoes Tang Shengzhi's department from afar, and double-teamed the British army in Delhi.

Late night, September 1911, 9, Derry. The climate in India in September was still very disgusting. Lieutenant General Pete felt that his entire vest was soaked in sweat.Although he strictly ordered all the soldiers to launch the most ferocious attack on the Chinese during the daytime battle, his subordinates were also very determined to carry out this order. He even saw the hope of victory several times, but then the Chinese completely Let this hope become a bubble again.

Now Lieutenant General Pete is not most concerned about whether he can win the war, but he really wants to see what the Chinese general who organized the resistance looks like, and can defend well when he is completely surrounded. Determination and courage to the end.His unit did not appear to be doing too well, beginning at dusk on 9 September.Guns and guns were faintly heard outside Delhi, and the successive news also showed Lieutenant General Pete the intention of the Chinese to attack: this is a resolute, decisive, and large-scale strategic attack!The troops that the Chinese stayed in Delhi were just a bait. They cleverly attracted all the elite of the coalition forces in India to their surroundings. This is a well-woven trap.

On the right flank of Delhi, the Chinese army has occupied Kebo Radpur, and Colonel Schummel surrendered; on the left flank of Delhi, the shadow of the Dragon Army also appeared; an unknown number of Chinese broke through. It is estimated that Wagong Mountain has already arrived in Jaipur.The retreat routes of the coalition forces have been completely cut off, and Lieutenant General Pete's troops are now besieged on all sides.He breathed a sigh of relief and sorted out his bad mood. The bad situation made him fall into tension. The Dragon Army has already laid a net. At present, his responsibility is no longer to attack, nor is it to defend Derry City, which is extremely important. , but how to find a way to bring his troops out of this unprecedented encirclement and avoid the fate of the entire army being destroyed.Pete clearly knew that at this time the Chinese armored forces in Derry had fired their last bullet, and all officers and soldiers were ready to be destroyed together with the tanks.One more, less than half an hour strike just one last time, and Pete was able to achieve the dream he'd always wanted to achieve.As is often the case with a lot of things, you just have to take one last step to succeed, but Pete's luck has been so bad lately.

After several days of continuous fighting, Tang Shengzhi's troops have successfully advanced to the south and west of Derry City.The highlands of this city are all occupied by the dragon army, and the follow-up troops are rushing here continuously.

About 20 people, the main force of the so-called New Crusaders, have been squeezed by the Dragon Army into a long and narrow area centered on Delhi.At this time, Tang Shengzhi's troops took cover on various hilltops and stopped attacking the enemy.They hadn't eaten anything for more than ten hours in a row, and now that the enemy army was surrounded, they began to temporarily stop to eat the dry food they carried with them, replenish their energy, and make final preparations for the fatal blow.

The morning wind was blowing on the mountain, which made the soldiers of the dragon army feel a little comfortable after fighting fiercely for several days, but after all, the continuous fighting for the past few days exhausted them too much energy, and some soldiers fell asleep on the rocks.Tang Shengzhi picked up the binoculars and looked towards the enemy army in the direction of Delhi.His eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost weight from several days of fighting, and his thin face was covered with dust.Through the fog in the early morning, I can faintly see the scene on the enemy's position.

The outside of Derry is full of enemy tents and cannons. Some coalition soldiers are walking around in a hurry. Occasionally, there are flashes of fire. It seems that they are preparing breakfast.

According to Jiang Baili's deployment, Tang Shengzhi's troops only temporarily monitored the enemy army, waiting for more dragon troops to come up, and launched an attack after the soldiers had regained their energy.A sudden attack at night is more sudden and can avoid excessive casualties.After all, the enemy's firepower configuration is very complete, and its combat effectiveness is not weak.

However, the besieged enemy army began to restless.Pete knew very well that if his troops waited until the large force of the Dragon Army arrived and calmly completed the encirclement, then he and his men would most likely become prisoners of the Chinese.Piet had moved his headquarters with the main force, and now his headquarters were mixed with his own troops.He clearly told his subordinates that there would no longer be any reinforcements to reinforce Derry, and now they can only rely on themselves if they want to save their lives.

After repeated weighing, Pete finally made up his mind and issued an order to break out of the siege to Major General Johnson of the 62nd Infantry Division of Kerdaherio, the only commander he could rely on and trust. Jay breaks out.

At one o'clock at noon, Pete ordered all the artillery to pour artillery shells at the Dragon Army's position and open fire on the Chinese troops in the west and south outside Derry, and at the same time ordered the 62nd Division to lead the team to break through the siege first.For a while, the people outside Derry were thrown into chaos, and the coalition soldiers panicked and prepared to flee.

Three Thousand Miles of Wind and Thunder Chapter 696 Miracle

Tang Shengzhi sensed the enemy's intention to break out of the siege, and while quickly reporting to Jiang Baili, he categorically ordered to change the original plan and immediately attack the besieged enemy.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the attack officially began. The trumpeters on several hilltops blew the charge horn. The sound of the trumpet echoed in the valley, full of a chilling atmosphere. The artillery of the Dragon Army began to bombard the coalition forces outside Derry. The artillery had no choice but to rush to the battle. The shells from both sides flew across the sky, and the loud noise was deafening and heart-pounding.

Soldiers of the Dragon Army rushed towards the coalition positions outside Delhi like a tide, and the entire battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke.The coalition forces had no way to escape. At this time, if they wanted to survive, they could only fight hard. The light and heavy machine guns in their hands spewed out flames together, forming a firepower network, guarding their own defensive circle.

An assault company of the Dragon Army approached the enemy's position from the east end of Derry, followed a ditch to the front of the enemy's bunker, and accurately threw a bundle of grenades into the gap in the bunker, only to hear a blast from inside. There was a heart-piercing cry, followed by a loud "boom", and the entire bunker was thrown into the sky.Some gun parts and human limbs flew up with the dust of the explosion, followed by a moment of terrible silence.

"Go to me, kill all these bastards!" The company commander shouted, and the Indian soldiers hiding not far away saw that the situation was over, and ran back desperately. Went to the west.
