"Kate, you can't die, we have to go back to England together, I order you, stand up" Robert roared out in despair, tears were already rushing out of his eyes, and he felt like an animal about to be slaughtered, and there was no room for resistance.Kate was hit by an expeditionary machine gun, and the penetrating wound caused by the bullet was almost non-healing.Robert shouted for a long time, but Kate didn't react at all.The soldiers gathered their eyes one after another, and they all had sad expressions of rabbits and foxes."
All the soldiers have an order, give me a hard fight against the enemy, don't skimp on bullets" Robert got up from the trench, his face was full of resoluteness, and he did not intend to be able to defend until the reinforcements arrived, regardless of the opponent who gave the order to shoot."
Bang, bang, bang" The British position soon burst into gunfire, bullets flew out, and the ground in front of them was constantly splashed with bursts of dust.Because of the distance, Huaxing's army lay on the ground 500 meters away, forming a certain visual difference, and unless the two sides stood up, the bullets could not hit at all.Five hundred meters away, a person is as small as a thumb cover, and he can't see clearly, let alone aim and shoot.The British army crackled and scattered for a while, but it turned out to be in vain, and they just gave themselves a boost out of thin air."
It's crazy so soon, I really thought you had three heads and six arms" Pei Renkai smiled coldly with a telescope, when he was still young, there were frequent foreigners driving warships, rampant and domineering on Chinese soil, and even the Old Summer Palace was burned.It is rumored everywhere that foreign devils have three heads and six arms, and knives and arrows can't penetrate them at all.Now he looked at the cowardice of the foreign devil, and admired Qiao Zhiqing in his heart.If he hadn't led China to rejuvenation, it would have been foreign devils who could laugh out loud now."
Report to the deputy commander, the mortar battalion is all ready in position, please instruct" The earthwork of the forward position has been completed, and tens of thousands of Tamils have dug thousands of trenches, all of which are half a man's height, and are vertically inserted into the positions of the foreigners, and the distance between the two sides is only two or three hundred meters."
Let's start" The corners of Pei Renkai's mouth moved slightly, and he coldly gave the final order."
Yes" the herald saluted, turned around and gave the order to open fire at the mortar battalion on the front line.The order flag kept waving, like a judge's pen in the hand of Lord Yama."
All have an order, artillery salvo" "All have an order, artillery salvo" ""The command sounded from the position one by one.The mortars, who had already been prepared in the trenches, worked in pairs and stuffed the shells in their hands into the barrels.Within a radius of 500 meters, there was a harsh sound of metal rubbing everywhere.Shells flew out of the trenches in droves, and after reaching the top in a parabola, they smashed down in dense numbers on the British positions."
Boom, boom, boom" Bursts of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the British position, and the explosion was deafening, causing the entire ground to shake.Robert was thrown into the trench by the air flow of the bomb, and the fragments of the bomb pierced his lower abdomen, tearing his belly open alive and even his intestines flowed out."
Old man, I finally know what they're going to do, you wait a minute, I'll accompany you to God right away" Robert smiled bitterly at Kate in a hoarse voice, seeing the soldiers being torn apart by the bombs one by one, he struggled violently in pain, and finally closed his eyes unwillingly.After the bombardment, there was basically no movement in the British positions.The Tamils began to come alive again, babbling and jumping and pounding.Even the surviving British commanders were killed, and where did they dare to resist, they disarmed and surrendered.But the Tamils had already killed the red eyes, and they couldn't understand what the British were saying, so they shot at the British regardless of it.Pei Renkai did not stop it, the weak eat the strong, when the British army hit China, with the strong ships and guns in their hands, how could they have softened the Chinese people.One report after another, at this time they encountered evil consequences, but it was only the evil cause that they planted at the beginning.As soon as the British army was defeated, the Sinhalese people had no support and fled Sri Lanka and headed north to India.The Tamils also frantically retaliated against the Sinhalese, slaughtering almost one tribe after another, leaving only the young women.Pei Renkai was too lazy to deal with them, and with the assistance of the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, he soon commanded two divisions to land in southern India.Qiao Zhiqing has decided to elevate the status of these Tamils and use them to control India in the future.Therefore, he also told Pei Renkai to cooperate with the Tamils, help them as much as possible, and use them to gradually gain control of India.Tamils mainly live in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala in the south of India, with a total population of only a million people, and are only a minority in India.Such a nation has been oppressed by other nations since ancient times, and after a long backlog of grievances, it is easy to become obedient thugs if they suddenly receive assistance from external forces.Izzardin had already sent people to contact the chiefs of the three states, and when they learned that the Huaxing Army had helped Izaddin capture Sri Lanka, they all rushed to ask for cooperation with the Huaxing Army to help the Huaxing Army open up territory in India.The Huaxing Army landed south of India, and the situation in India soon deteriorated dramatically.Originally, Gordon was also planning to transfer the 30,000 troops stationed in Bombay to the eastern front, but now he could only send them south to resist the Huaxing army.The situation in the east and south has deteriorated, and the northern line of defense is also in jeopardy.The Islamic rebels frequently moved south, and if it were not for the absolute superiority of the British army's weapons occupation, they would have reached the old capital of the Mughal Dynasty, Delhi.Gordon and Lawrence were helpless to deal with this mess, and both of them even had the idea of quitting.But if they give up India like this, the queen will not spare them when they return home.They could only hope that the reinforcements from the country would arrive as soon as possible, and the speed of the Huaxing army's advance would be slowed down a little more.Wei Ziyou, the presidential office in Beijing, read the news of Sri Lanka's victory to Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing sat on the couch sipping tea, closed his eyes and quietly listened to Wei Ziyou's report, his face full of exhaustion.He had just finished a meeting with the Ministry of National Defense and finalized the generals of the military regions in the northeast.He unified and integrated the defense of the three eastern provinces, changing Fengtian Province to Liaoning Province and Fengtianfu to Shenyang City.In Shenyang, a large military region was established, the Shenyang Military Region.There are three military regions at the regular military level, namely the Liaoning Provincial Military Region, the Jilin Provincial Military Region, and the Heilongjiang Provincial Military Region.The Shenyang Military Region, as the northern barrier of Beijing, is the same as the Kulun Military Region, and is very valued by Qiao Zhiqing.For this reason, Qiao Zhiqing and the Ministry of National Defense went through many meetings before finalizing the generals at all levels.At the same time, it is also preparing to raise a new army of ten routes, with a total of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses.After the training of new recruits is completed, the soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Military Region will also return to their stations in Guannai.After careful consideration, Qiao Zhiqing was finally transferred to Luo Sanyuan, commander of the Kulun Military Region, as the commander of the military region of the three eastern provinces.Luo Sanyuan is a descendant of Army Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zongyu, and Qiao Zhiqing also did this to balance the two emerging forces that are becoming stronger and stronger in the Ministry of National Defense.He gradually eliminated the old forces of the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from the Huaxing army.At present, there are three emerging forces in the military, one is the power of Vice Defense Minister Wang Shijie, the other is the power of Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong, and the other is the power of Army Commander Zhang Zongyu.Among the emerging forces of the three parties, only Zhang Zongyu's strength is now the weakest.Qiao Zhiqing deliberately handed over the defense of the Northeast to Luo Sanyuan this time, in order to elevate Zhang Zongyu and achieve a balance of tripartite forces.After Luo Sanyuan was transferred, the position of commander of the Kulun Military Region was also taken over by Xu Yao, commander of the First Army of the Kulun Military Region.Xu Yao is Su Sanniang's brother-in-law, and in the final analysis, he is also Qiao Zhiqing, and Qiao Zhiqing is also relieved that the Kulun Military Region handed it over to him.The Kulun Military Region consists of the Inner Mongolia Provincial Military Region and the Outer Mongolia Provincial Military Region, with a total of more than 100,000 cavalry, which is 200,000 fewer than other military regions.However, its cavalry strength of more than 100,000, relying on its absolute mobility, can still rank among the best in the Huaxing army in combat effectiveness.After the commanders of the three eastern provinces were finalized, Qiao Zhiqing, the commander of the provinces, also boldly used new people.These young generals were politically simple-minded and could easily develop into cronies.Moreover, the new army of the three eastern provinces has just been raised, and Qiao Zhiqing also hopes to replace some fresh blood for the Huaxing army.The generals of the older generation are more than calm, not enterprising enough, and always want to live with their own one-third of an acre.Qiao Zhiqing sent troops to India this time, and many conservative generals in the Huaxing army opposed it.They all advised Qiao Zhiqing not to be reckless, the country had just been reunified, and he should recuperate first.Qiao Zhiqing just laughed and ignored them.They don't know that war is precisely a means to obtain huge benefits, and it is qualitatively different from previous wars.In the past, the economy was only agricultural, and the war could no longer gain anything but the plundering of people, livestock, and land.If there is a war with the northern nomads, it will be a loss-making deal.The poor jingle and eat raw meat in animal skins.If we beat them, we can only ensure the stability of the north, and we will not increase economic benefits in the slightest, but will consume national strength very much.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's northern expedition to the Xiongnu seemed to have unlimited scenery, and it was precisely in this way that the Han Dynasty emptied all the savings accumulated from the rule of Wenjing.After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national power of the Han Dynasty also gradually declined.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went north to Goryeo, but he also exhausted his national strength, which led to rebellions, and finally even the country was lost.At this time, the battle was different, and the resources available for plunder abroad were not only food, population, and land, but also coal, iron ore, oil, rubber, and other industrial raw materials.If these things are produced industrially, whether they are military or civilian products, they will sell well both domestically and internationally.And the economic benefits they bring are more than enough to offset the costs of the war.This is why imperialism frequently develops colonies overseas, that is, they plunder resources all over the world to develop themselves.The era of the smallholder economy has passed, and the era of industrialization is coming.The primitive accumulation of capital is bloody and brutal, if you miss this opportunity to turn around.Once human civilization matures and progresses, it will be too difficult for the Chinese nation to rejuvenate itself under the constraints of internationalization rules
