Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 131 Kick the door directly
It was an hour after Ding Guofeng and the others evacuated Fukang'an received the report from his scouts.

After personally listening to the detailed reports of several teams of forwards, he decided to continue sending scouts to the front line of Sihet Mountain early tomorrow morning to investigate the situation at the mouth of the Sila River.

"We need to find out who the thieves are!" Fukangan said, pointing to the map. "What we want is a complete annihilation in one battle. Once the grass is caught and the snake is frightened, no matter whether the Hubei people retreat to the sea or flee into the mountains, they will have endless troubles!"

Then he said to Liu Linhan and the two envoys who were sent to the side: "You will stay in the army for the time being and wait for the news, and we will make a decision tomorrow!"

It was already late at night when Ding Guofeng and the others carefully retreated all the way back to Beihai Town.

After returning to the camp, Ding Guofeng quickly notified Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang of the movements of the Qing army.Soon, Zhao Xin, Wu Siyu, Deng Fei and Zhao Liang on the Thunder God also knew about it.

More than half an hour later, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu came to the preset position with flashlights.

"Stop! Password!"

After some password questions and answers, Zhao Xin met Liu Sheng and others.

This is located on the west side of the camp, outside the entrance of a valley at the southeastern foot of Mount Sihet, with a wide view around.A month ago, the logging team led by Chen Qingsong had already cut down all the large trees here; it was originally planned to reclaim farmland.

However, Wang Yuanfang asked Chen Qingsong not to reclaim the land for the time being after seeing the terrain here.Because whether it is a beast or a local aborigine, it is possible to descend from here to attack the camp.So Chen Qingsong led Wanzao, Maosuke and others to dig a ditch three meters deep, two meters wide and hundreds of meters long. canal.It ended up being used today!
Five hundred soldiers armed with SKS were standing behind the mound on the southeast side of the ditch.A sudden light rain in the afternoon continued until late at night, freezing these soldiers terribly.Liu Sheng urgently arranged for someone to take cotton coats from the warehouse for the soldiers to wear.

As for the remaining [-] recruits, since shooting training has not yet started, Zhao Xin and the others discussed and asked them to go to the east bank of the Xila River, under the command of Chen Qingsong and Katayama Kanbingwei temporarily, so as not to cause chaos .

The five of them found a secluded place and held an emergency meeting to discuss the next step.

"I don't think this will work, it makes us too passive!" Wang Yuanfang said first.

"Yeah, I was careless! I forgot about the scouting! I almost did it." Ding Guofeng said with lingering fear.

Liu Sheng sighed and said, "It seems that the Qing soldiers outside the pass are not stupid. Let's just wait like this. What will we do tomorrow?"

Zhao Xin didn't speak for a long time. He looked up at the dark mountain, and said slowly: "I panicked before, and I also wanted to go wrong. I can't wait for the Qing soldiers to come, otherwise our reality will be exposed. If the mountain doesn't come, I will , I will go to the mountain! The old way, just kick the door!"

Ding Guofeng said hesitantly: "The mountain road at night is really not easy to walk. If we act together with hundreds of people, we will definitely be exposed. In case there are casualties..."

Liu Sheng interrupted: "What you said, how can there be no casualties in a war!"

Wu Siyu asked: "Mr. Zhao, tell me what you think?"

Zhao Xin thought for a while before slowly saying: "We all evacuated to the other side, this night must be uncomfortable. What if the Qing soldiers don't come tomorrow? Stay there for another day?
It was so dark and it was still raining lightly. I think that even if the scouts of the Qing soldiers came at night, they would wait until dawn in the morning to start their investigation.At this stage, it is meaningless for us to engage in falsehoods.

Ding Guofeng, you and Seldan continue to play forward.It is now 11:30 in the night, you set off at [-] in the morning, without detours, and go straight to the camp of the Qing army.Along the way, I would rather go slower than be greedy, and if I encounter a Qing army scout, I will kill it directly.

Brother Wang, you and Wu Siyu led the team and followed Ding Guofeng and the others.After arriving there, instead of attacking the Qing army camp immediately, lay in ambush on the surrounding mountains.You are the commander, and it is up to you to arrange the specifics.

Old Liu, you come back to the boat with me.We still have to attack from the sea!Now the Thunder God is our biggest reliance. It is not far from our place to the bay where the Qing army landed, and it can be reached in two hours. "

Wang Yuanfang said excitedly at this time: "When you launch an attack, I will cooperate."

Zhao Xin nodded and said: "That's what it means. We have too many things to do now, and we don't have time to waste time with Man. After this fight, I think it will be clean for a while. Our side is full of virgin forests, and there are no roads at all. If the Manchus wanted to send troops over, the long supply lines would kill them."

Wu Siyu said: "How do you say that?"

In the dark night, Zhao Xin grinned and explained: "This is outside the customs, and the Manchus will not allow Han people to leave the customs. At that time, there will be a large number of logistics transportation teams. Do you think they will use Han people as civilian husbands? These are enough for the Manchus." The court has a headache.

It is now the beginning of June in the lunar calendar.It will start snowing here in September, and if they want to attack us, it will take until next spring.Moreover, according to historical records, Qianlong is now using troops in the northwest.It is impossible for him to launch two wars at the same time. "

Liu Sheng and the others thought for a while and agreed with Zhao Xin's point of view.However, considering that there were only 30 sailors on the Thunder God, Wang Yuan conveniently decided to transfer a company to accompany the ship.

In the summer in the outer northeast, the sky is getting bright at six o'clock in the morning, and the sun will rise at seven o'clock.So several people set the time for Thor to attack at six o'clock in the morning.

At twelve o'clock at night, five hundred soldiers began to add meals in batches.

Yaichiro has been lingering since dinner until now, and his stomach is growling with hunger.After he took the supper and distributed it to the soldiers in the platoon, he just wanted to sit down and eat when Lian Jiuzang came to him.

"Yichiro, let the whole platoon gather!"

"Commander, what's the matter?"

"Let's get on board!"

on board?Yaichiro was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart blossomed with joy.Good on board!You don't have to lie down here and suffer from the cold anymore.He didn't even care about supper, so he immediately summoned his subordinates to gather.

110 people assembled quickly.Before Zhao Xin took them away, he started to check with others.

"It's 31:29, and the action starts in [-] minutes!"

At one o'clock in the night, Ding Guofeng, Seldan and his son, and Hengji set off on time.This time, apart from the bow and arrow, the three of Seldan received a pistol with a silencer.Their route this time is to go all the way west to the west foot of Sihet Mountain. There is no need to go around the mountain road in the north, so they have to open up and find a new road.

The four of them stopped every 20 minutes and listened carefully to their surroundings.Sometimes stay for 10 minutes, sometimes 7 or 8 minutes before leaving.Among the four, Hengji's archery level is average, and Ding Guofeng asked him to go back and forth between the two teams to prevent Wang Yuanfang and the others from getting lost.

Half an hour later, the rain had stopped, and the moonlight shone through the clouds in the mountains and forests, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu immediately led the soldiers of the four companies and set off, following the traces left by Ding Guofeng and the others into the forest.

The main problem with marching at night is poor visibility.Although it is conducive to the concealment of the army and the achievement of sudden tactical goals, it also brings a lot of inconvenience to observation, command, and communication.

In order to avoid making noise, all of them had a makeshift "bite" in their mouths.The leader of the team was Hu Ji, who grew up in the mountains of the island country. Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu walked in the team and the other walked in the tail to prevent the soldiers from falling behind.

After Huji led the team into the forest, he couldn't see his fingers.Soon after receiving the report, Wang Yuanfang had to ask every ten people in the queue to turn on their flashlights to illuminate their way.

The soldiers lined up in a long column with the company as the unit, and what everyone had to do was to closely follow the person in front and stare at the light of the flashlight.In their daily training, Wang Yuanfang and the others included eggs, carrots and animal livers in their meals to prevent night blindness.But even so, because the road in the mountains was rough and difficult, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the team moved very slowly.After walking for more than an hour, they only advanced five miles.

Fortunately, the distance is only more than 20 miles away. If this is a long-distance march, it will all be a mess!

Wang Yuanfang secretly decided that after this battle, night training must be spread to the entire army, and the night training time should account for more than one-third of the total training time.As a veteran, tradition cannot be lost!
At 03:30, the Thunder God slowly left the pier under the operation of Deng Fei.Because I am very familiar with the surrounding sea conditions, I don’t have to worry about sailing even in the dark.An hour later, the Thor had rounded the peninsula on the southwest side of the bay.

It is more than 35 kilometers away from the bay where the North Korean navy on Solenji Island is moored, and the nautical radar on the ship cannot detect it at all.Therefore, Zhao Xin and others did not know that there was actually a fleet of 2000 people behind them.

At five o'clock, the Thunder God, which was sailing slowly north, finally stopped at the ocean surface three kilometers away from the Qing army fleet.The UAV with thermal imaging platform rose from the compass deck, and after reaching a height of 500 meters, it flew over the Qing army fleet at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Two minutes later, Zhao Xin and the others in the cockpit saw the picture in the bay.Dozens of sloops of the Qing army are quietly parked in the bay.

The warships of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties outside the pass were all inland river boats, built by the shipyard in Ula, Jilin.Because of the conquest of Yaksa during the Kangxi period, these ships were also called "Yaksa warships".

The Yaksa warship is 20 meters long, the deck is four meters wide, the molded depth is two meters, the draft is 1.2 meters, and the displacement is 52.8 tons.The shape of the warship is flat bottom, square bow, and square tail, both of which are warped to adapt to wind and waves.The mast is 15 meters high and the sail area is 65 square meters.There are two sculls at the stern, more than six meters long.

There are sixteen oars on both sides of the ship's side, and the length of the oars is [-] meters. When sailing, the sailors row the oars in a standing position; this is also a traditional habit in the Northeast.This design makes the warship have good maneuverability even in calm conditions.

Judging from the pictures sent back by the drone, each warship has one or two cannons at the bow.Because it was dark, it was not clear what shape it was.

Around these Yaksa warships, there are still many small wooden boats moored, which look like fishing boats.

The drone flew further north, and two miles away was the camp of the Qing army.

At this time, there were already people moving around in the camp, and the soldiers and civilians who were preparing breakfast were busy. The bonfire and cooking smoke on the stove were very obvious in the black and white thermal imaging field of view.

The soldiers of the Qing army all lived in ordinary rectangular low tents. In the center of the camp, two tents that were obviously different from the others caught the attention of Zhao Xin and others.

"This should be where the general lives. Can you hit it with artillery?"

"That's enough, we're not familiar with the terrain here. It's hard to calculate just from the drone. Besides, Wang Yuanfang and the others are ambushing around, let's not cause accidental injury!"

"Don't worry about it, get rid of the wooden boats first!"
