Chapter 758 Condolences

For safety reasons, Baoke Zhengzhi has been following Liu Qingshan for the reason to lead the way. ￡∝, but in fact, he thought very clearly that only by following the army of the Ming Empire is the safest place. Wearing a Ming military uniform and a telescope sent by Liu Qingshan was hanging around his neck, Baoke Zhengzhi unexpectedly discovered something.

"Your Excellency, look there, the flag seems to be Maori." A scream attracted Liu Qingshan's attention. After careful observation, he said to Gu Beiwang: "Let the cavalry company go and see what the situation is, and try not to have contact wars."

The cavalry on standby at the foot of the mountain connected to the order and immediately dispatched. The Mongolian horses' sprint speed was not as fast as the Arab horses and Don hippos, but much faster than the Japanese horses. Maori discovered the cavalry company that was approaching quickly, and immediately turned around and left with his men. Today's view seemed to have alarmed the shogunate army on the opposite side. When he saw the cavalry, he believed that they were the armed forces responsible for the escort.

The distance was a bit far, and the cavalry company returned to the camp's Maori. He was very jealous of the cavalry company's war horses, thinking in his mind that even if it was not for food, it was worth fighting for those horses.

Baoke Zhengzhi said regretfully: "Your Excellency, if you can defeat gross profit, you will be more sure of this battle." Liu Qingshan and Gu Beiwang did not argue about this. This kind of luck mentality has always been a taboo in this army. Liu Qingshan and Gu Beiwang received formal military education and have always been unsure of battles. If you don't take risks, try not to take risks. The way to use troops should be upright. The so-called surprise soldiers have never been mainstream.

Soon, Masayuki Baoko lost his regret and entered a state of curiousness. The moment he approached the defensive position, he felt that he could not use all the knowledge he had learned in the past. This was a standard circular fortification, with barbed wire mesh set up at the front of the position, and the trenches were connected by traffic trenches. More than 100 shogunate soldiers who had guarded here before had not left for the time being, so he stayed to help do some things and could have a full meal.

While a soldier was wiping his rifle, Baoke Zhengzhi stopped moving and stared at the guy in the soldier's hand, looking strongly at the knowledge. Gu Beiwang was a shrewd guy. Look at Liu Qingshan and nude at the other side. Liu Qingshan glanced at him and smiled, "Let him go, it's not a bad thing to learn something."

Two Montini machine guns were deployed on both sides of the ring fortification. Liu Qingshan saw this thing and loved it. He loved it with a powerful firepower delivery capability, more than 200 rounds per minute, and the bullets seemed to be pouring heavily. He hated it with weight and failure rate, and the total weight was more than 280 kilograms. In normal marching, the machine gun had to be disassembled and transported like mountain cannons. The failure rate was indeed a bit high, and this was improved by the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would be even more painful. Despite all kinds of problems, this weapon was immediately loved by the army. Mountain brigades were not equipped with such bulky weapons during normal periods. This was a temporary machine gun company that was added before departure, with a total of eight such things. More than 100 people and more than fifty animals were serving.

Bang, Liu Qingshan reached out and patted the machine gun. He sighed: "Old Gu, this thing is good, it's too heavy."

Gu Beiwang nodded: "That's right, I heard from an old classmate that the Weapons Research Institute is developing a new machine gun, using a new type of launching medicine. At that time, the weight can be reduced to less than 100 kilograms. I don't know whether it is true or false."

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "One hundred pounds is enough. When marching, you have to serve more than a dozen people. But it must be stronger than this thing now. Look at the shape, it looks like a mountain cannon." Gu Beiwang smiled and said, "Don't complain. When the fight starts, you will know the importance of this thing."

The two of them were really not pretending to have a relaxed expression. Although it was said that there were 20,000 rebels on the other side, and there were 30,000 civilians and other people. The elite of the Alliance Army would not take these opponents who were still queuing up and shot in the queue. It was not a contest at the same level. In their opinion, this mission would not be too difficult as long as there was ammunition.

"The key is ammunition. When we came, we brought two base numbers and we had to urge them!" Liu Qingshan quickly thought of the key points. Although the rebels on the other side were not moving for a long time, this just means that the other side is making full preparations. Once launched, it will definitely be the strongest offensive that the opponent can take.

"I have to say that I have made a special turn to Chiyoda. Tokugawa said that he would organize a thousand civilians to transport ammunition. I asked Staff Geng to keep an eye on this matter. The ammunition will be delivered tonight at the latest." Gu Beiwang answered confidently, and the two continued to walk forward and saw the mountain cannon position hidden behind the fortification.

There were only six artillery guns in the entire artillery company, and two were deployed here, which shows how much attention the two men attached to this high ground. If they had not considered the support for the two shogunate troops on the left and right sides, they would have even wanted to deploy the entire artillery company on this high ground. The location here is so good that they can overlook the entire battlefield, and the altitude is not too high, which looks like more than 100 meters. As long as they guard this high ground, the fortress on the front would not be attacked by the rebels too violently. To be honest, if you don’t take down this high ground, you would have dreamed of destroying the dirt city on the front. The shells of the two mountain cannons would become a nightmare for the rebel soldiers.

The two were talking when the lieutenant company commander in charge of the highland guards came, and trotted with a phone in his hand: "The commander, the phone number from Tucheng, said that General Tokugawa came with a condolence group and also sent us ammunition and supplies."

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu's worldview in Tucheng had collapsed. Just a strange-looking thing could actually send the sound out of Sanli. When he heard the sound in the microphone, his legs were as weak as the noodles with hot water, which was so scary. After a simple greeting on the phone, Liu Qingshan said that he would come back immediately.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was lucky, and the rebels on the other side were not ready, so he didn't even encounter any trouble when he walked the road. He took five hundred cavalry and a company from the concession to gather together, and smoothly sent the "condolences" and ammunition supplies he brought to Tucheng.

Liu Qingshan's command center was set up in a small farmyard. The largest landlord's house here has become a battlefield hospital. Before he could reach the door, he saw two or three hundred women kneeling on the side of the road, and a straw mat was laid on the ground. When the horse team approached, they all lay on the ground with their foreheads close to the ground. I don't know what happened to these Japanese people. When they saw the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they were afraid of death, and even each dared to peek.

"Lao Gu, I heard before coming that there is no guilt in Japan that killing ordinary people in the streets is not guilty of killing ordinary people. It seems that this is true." Liu Qingshan sighed and Gu Beiwang nodded and said, "Even in Liaodong, no one dares to do this. It is even more impossible in Xinghai City." Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "That's how difficult it is to transport one person over. It's transported to the territory and people will kill him in vain. General Staff Su will not be angry."

Tokugawa Iemitsu was waiting at the door. When he saw the horse team coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. There was no stance of a shogun at this moment. Recently, he had done two things. One was to find a woman from the Tokugawa family who was aged thirteen to fifteen and could take advantage of her appearance. She washed her hair and prepared to load her ship to Mr. Chen for the disaster. Another thing was to let her samurai out and wander around the streets of Yinyuanman. Seeing the young woman, she was still looking away, and she threw a silver ball and a bag of food, and she left. This time she was quite polite, and she said: Stop crying, she was going to serve the Daming soldiers to make a lot of money, and she would come back at most a month."

This is why the shogunate was defeated so badly. If it were the past, would you give you food and silver? Just take it away. After the disaster, throw it out of the door and walk home. Tokugawa Iemitsu was really worried that it would arouse public anger. His territory was already pitiful, just leaning against the sea and going north.

Even if it arouses public anger, Tokugawa still needs to do this, otherwise he would be worried that these Ming troops would not be able to serve them well. He would expect them to defend their existing territory and not be a single general.

"General, the conditions are simple, don't mind." After a greeting, Liu Qingshan and Gu Beiwang greeted Tokugawa in and sit down. There was no cup of tea, just a teapot of boiled water. Faced with this situation, Tokugawa Ie-ku was quite nervous. What should we do if these Ming officers were not satisfied with their reception?

Fortunately, Liu Qingshan and Gu Beiwang did not mention the issue he was worried about, but went straight to the topic. "General, the morale of the shogunate army is currently low, and there are two main reasons for the treatment of the wounded, one is food and the other is the treatment of the wounded. I suggest that the general should go back quickly and organize some doctors to treat the wounded in a timely manner, which can greatly alleviate the pressure on soldiers for casualties. We have sent letters to the country, and food will be shipped soon. After the general returns, don't be stingy with food and try to provide relief to the people in the territorial area."

After looking at Masayuki, who was breathless, Tokugawa Iemitsu got up and bowed to the two of them, "I'm so sorry, I didn't achieve the friendship of the landlords. I'm really incompetent, please forgive me." Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't tell us these words, let me tell you the prince in the future. Our task is to help you keep them for a month."

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't stay for too long. After a simple lunch, he took his own people to leave. Liu Qingshan and Gu Beiwang stopped when they sent the unearthed city. Masayuki Boke gave him a little extra road, and they had something to say between them.
Chapter completed!
