1890 King of Southeast Asia

"As of 5 pm on August 31, the Navy had completed a total of one naval land war brigade, two Army infantry brigades, artillery regiments, and a army division.

Another Army Brigade has been leaning on, but the temporary dock conditions are limited. It is expected that the equipment unloading work can be completed until the evening of No. 2. "

"The Navy's Second Battle Circle Team has been launched with the Marine Corps, and the Xuchang battleship will provide fire support for the landing forces."

"In order to prevent the Japanese from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, at the time of the task, we plan to compile the Arab and Hawaii into the third motorized fleet, go north to the sea of ​​Japan to deter the Japanese."

"The Arabic fleet and the Sumatra offshore defense fleet are ready, and we can calmly cope with the possible intervention fleet."

"Intelligence shows that the main direction of the Qing Empire Army is Binzhou, and the rest of the main force is moving closer to the Beijing Division. We believe that the Qing Empire has not found our strategic intention."

In the huge office, Yang Tao was reporting to Liu Yiming's combat plan.

It was originally a small warehouse in Ziwei Palace, but seven days ago, it was sorted out here and a new brand was hung.

- "Joint Combat Staff"

"Very good, think about comprehensive." Liu Yiming applauded after listening to Yang Tao's return.

Although South China's naval army is much more harmonious than Japan, it is two departments after all. After cooperating with many "small problems", Liu Yiming discovered that the sea soldiers were mainly pushed in and set up this headquarters.

"When will the total attack plan be launched?" Liu Yiming asked.

"The landing troops are still on the road, and we plan to attract more troops on the south line. It takes a certain amount of time. At present, one week, that is, September 7th, launch a total attack."

Yang Tao paused.

"but…"

"But what?" Liu Yiming put down his applause.

"After attacking Tianjin, what should we do if the Qing Empire refused to surrender?" Yang Tao asked.

The Qing Empire's heavy soldiers were gathered in Shandong, but when Shandong was not far from Jingshi, the Beijing Division itself had five towns.

In total, Nanhua only invested in the strength of three divisions. In case the Youth Empire did not surrender, could it be able to capture the Beijing division before returning to the army of the Youth Empire. Yang Tao had no bottom.

In case of being dragged and being surrounded by advantages, it would be great.

"You don't have to worry about this, hurry up and prepare for time, stay on the spot after completing the task, and subsequently hand over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with it."

Liu Yiming thought for a while, senior officers still had to know some politics, so he said, saying that

"Winning Tianjin is already the last bottom line of tolerance of various countries. If you attack the Beijing Division, many people will jump their feet, and it will not be time."

"When their dogs bite the dogs and bite, they are the days when we enter the Beijing Division. They are prepared. This day will not be too long."

..............

On September 4th, a striker in the 14th town arrived in the northern part of Binzhou, and took Cha Rong to ride a horse to the headquarters of the 12th town.

"The fourteenth town of the twenty -seven -fifth bands, inlaid the blue flag Ilmu Yilu Cha Rong invited Beizi, the Beizi is auspicious." Cha Rong entered the headquarters and faced Hongbeizi It is a five -body investment.

"It is the kid of the Il Mu family. You are also attentive. Get up, this is the army, there are not so many prosperity." Although Hong Beizi said, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Xie Beizi!" Cha Rong got up, bent down, and was respecting Hong Beizi Zunhua respectfully.

"Cha Rong, when will Xiaoqi come?" Hong Beizi smiled even more and he nodded and asked.

"Back to the words of Bai Zi, the unified adult is forty miles behind our army." Cha Rong turned his waist again.

"Then what do you want to do today? There are so many thieves, I am here, for a while and a half, I can't hit it, I still want to wait for Xiaoqi to come and let him try it." Hong Beizi nodded with a smile.

"Slave is here to invite Bezi to come. As for the offense, the slave just arrived, and the enemy's situation was unknown. Come down.

"So the slave was brave, and came to ask Belong, what kind of way this rebellion is." Cha Rong was embarrassed.

Sure enough, as soon as he came out, Hong Beizi didn't speak, and he took the tea cup and drank the tea slowly.

"Get up, Ma San'er, organize the news these days, let Cha Rong bring to Xiaoqi." Cha Rong put down the tea cup and left.

"Xie Beizi!" Cha Rong was still lying on the ground, and his head didn't lift his head.

On September 5th, the 14th town army arrived in the northern part of Binzhou. The Charian Ministry conducted the first tentative attack and was beaten back.

On September 6, the fourteenth town began to attack Binzhou with a cannon. South China was hit with artillery.

"This Hong ... Stupid! Lying the military situation, causing our army to suffer such a big loss. I want to go to the Army Department and sue him with Lord Ning!" After hearing the loss in the fourteenth town, he fell two sets of tea sets.

Wang Jia, Wang Fu, was ranked seventh in the family, but the six brothers in front of them folded their waist and fell to the Duke of Fengnfu.

There are two levels in the title of the title. The two are the same as the official position. In terms of seniority, he is also low. In terms of his identity, he was born in a blue flag and born in the next five flags.

In Mangui's opinion, he was not as good as Hong Beizi in any way, and he could not go to Hong Beizi to say anything. If the new eight regiments were not built by Zaifeng and Zaixun, Wang Jia would have to listen to Hong Beizi's orders.

"Twelve guns! A cannon battalion is gone..." Wang Jia was really distressed. After all, everyone suffered losses, and he didn't know when it would be his turn to queue up for replenishment.

"Master, the other side used heavy artillery. Judging from the craters, it is likely to be 15-year-old heavy artillery. Our 7-year-old and 5-year-old artillery is only half the size of theirs. It is normal that we can't beat them." Cha Rong comforted.

"15-year-old? Are you sure?" Wang Jia was shocked.

The best of the new eight regiments, the 11th and 8th regiments, only had 105 guns, and the rest were 75 or 76 guns.

Only Beiyang had a few guns above 150 mm, and they were all hidden like treasures.

"When I was in Shanhaiguan, an artilleryman taught me to identify the caliber of a cannon by looking at the crater and the sound. Today, this crater can only be made by a 15-year-old cannon." Cha Rong was very sure.

"No wonder, no wonder the 12th Regiment is squatting here without moving. It seems that they have suffered a loss. They are so black-hearted that they didn't remind me." Wang Jia slammed the table fiercely.

He was not angry at Nanhua for using cannons to hit him, but at Hong Beizi, who only said that Nanhua had many cannons, but didn't say that Nanhua's cannons were big.

"Master, the only way now is to attack twice more. Otherwise, if Hong Beizi wants to pass on the blame and accuses us of being afraid of the enemy, we will have to suffer the consequences." Cha Rong reminded.

"I know!" Wang Jia gave him a displeased look.

He knew all this, but he felt uncomfortable.

His background was not as good as others. If he had to make up for the losses, he had to queue up behind others. Others paid their military salaries at 80% of the actual amount, but he only paid 70%.

He was able to climb to this position thanks to Zaixun's interest in him and letting him take charge of a town, but now Zaixun is showing signs of losing power. Although his status is still noble, his power has been greatly reduced.

"Order the 28th Brigade to launch an attack early tomorrow morning." After thinking for a long time, Wang Jia said upset.

The two flags of the 28th Brigade are one of the Red Banner and the other of the Bordered White Banner, which are more distant from him, unlike the 27th Brigade, which are both Bordered Blue Banners, so he is not so sad about losing them.

"Ya!" Cha Rong gave an old-fashioned military salute.

...

"He, grandma, a bear, what the hell? They are all trash!" The commander of the 9th town has lost his title, but he is Irgen Jueluo, under the Yellow Banner, and a slave of the emperor.

Just now, the 9th town launched another attack, targeting Cangzhou.

It is similar to the shelling dilemma encountered by the 12th town. Every time the 9th town gathers and prepares to attack, it will face a wave of shelling.

The artillery of the Ninth Regiment could not reach the enemy, so there was no way to launch a counter-attack. After firing randomly, it also attracted the firepower of Nanhua to retaliate.

Just now, he ordered another attack, this time the scale of the attack was one battalion.

In order to prevent the bombardment, the Ninth Regiment attacked in platoons. Sure enough, Nanhua did not launch a large-scale bombardment again.

The infantry of the Ninth Regiment quickly rushed into the 800-meter-wide open area in front of Nanhua's position.

Just when he thought he could get some results this time, Nanhua's cross machine gun fire was like cutting wheat. In just two minutes, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the entire battalion collapsed.

"Master, what should we do? It's not a good idea to fight like this!" The logistics officer of the Ninth Regiment said anxiously.

The Ninth Regiment is the stepping stone for his master to advance. How can he continue to lose like this?

"I finally understand. We need heavy artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery before we can use the artillery to clear the enemy's machine guns. Otherwise, we can't rely on people to pile up."

"Send a telegram to Lord Tieliang and tell him that we need heavy artillery. Also send a telegram to the Third Town, asking them not to shrink in the big city, but to move south as soon as possible to cooperate with our troops and attack Cangzhou."

"Yes!"

...

On the northern front, the Qing Empire felt fear because of Nanhua's reinforcement. In addition to the original seven and a half battalions (one was crippled), the Qing Empire pulled out another 5,000 people.

With these more than 10,000 people, the Qing Empire began to build fortifications and defense lines on the northern battlefield, ready to defend to the death.

Because of the fear of Nanhua's artillery attack, the defense line was built 20 kilometers away from Nanhua, with an overall northeast-southwest layout, which could effectively prevent Nanhua from marching towards the capital...

Well, the Qing Empire believed that Nanhua wanted to bypass the Qing Army and raid the capital as it did nine years ago.

In order to prevent possible airship bombing (Liu Yiming couldn't even remember), Zaifeng also brought out the equipment that the old witch bought when she was alive - anti-aircraft guns.

Made in Britain, it was modified from a 37mm caliber machine gun, with the main changes being an extended barrel and an anti-aircraft gun mount.

Well, this was equipment that Britain urgently launched shortly after buying airships in France.

The Qing Empire can be said to have made all preparations for Nanhua's surprise attack on the capital, but due to the long defense line, there will be a 20-kilometer blank area in the middle, and the road from Nanhua's position to the coastal area of ​​Tianjin is unobstructed.

Did the Qing Empire discover it? It did, but it was not worried. After all, there were still many defenders in Tianjin, with a total of four to five thousand people in the coastal defense and the army. Such a big city can't hold out until reinforcements arrive, right?
