Chapter 433 Fighter

Under the same starlight, Major Raymond became a little scared because of the inexplicable roar and gunshot of the Hongjun.

He didn't know what was going on, but the strange yelling of these opponents made the old major a little unsteady, but soon Major Raymond forced himself to calm down. He put his hand on the Bible and said in the gentlest tone: "His priest, please trouble you..."

The French missionary held the cross and the Bible and made the final prayer for the seven French soldiers who died in battle today. He obviously had a great hatred for the Hong Army, so his prayer was also very hard-working, but he quickly mentioned another key question: "Major, can I be the Russians..."

“Although he is God’s people, Chapter 433

The fighter is an Orthodox!" Major Raymond rejected the good intentions of the missionaries. Sometimes, the missionaries like to give him difficulties on these issues, but he also knew very well that this battle was inseparable from the help of the missionaries: "If you have time, spread the glory of the Lord to our warriors. This is a holy war to fight against the pagans..."

The missionary agreed to Raymond's request, and Raymond also looked at the distant night sky. The rebels there had stopped cheering, but what was an accident?

Major Raymond made a decision soon, and even his face was expected, and no matter what, it could not change his victory - because he had no time to wait for the second victory.

If Major General of the Mentorban, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, was a typical French tragedy, then Major Raymond was the last resounding sound of the entire French tragedy, and he was forty-two years old this year.

That's right, at the age of forty-two, Major General Mentoban caught up with the last glory of the Napoleon Empire, while Major Raymond was a contemporary member of the Bourbon dynasty. He could only listen to others retell the glory of His Excellency, but added more tragedy to his story.

Neither the Bourbon or the July dynasty. He was not before he was thirty years old. Chapter 433

The fighter became a general, on the contrary, if it were not for the Crimean War, he could not even become a major before he was forty.

That Crimea that shocked the whole world has become a story of the past. Major Raymond, who is standing here now, is a forty-two-year-old major, and this may be the last battle in his life.

Therefore, Major Raymond quickly restrained all his tragedy and tragedy. He only knew one thing, that is, he could only win - he would never allow failure.

Yes, failure, even a draw, or a small victory is not allowed. He can only use perfect victory to continue his military resume.

He told himself, Old Raymond, you have no problem, just follow the methods of today and yesterday, and victory belongs to you.

The opponents are stronger than the ones on paper, but they are much weaker than the Russian army in Crimea, and even worse than the Turkish army, but their number is quite large.

This must be mentioned to the Chinese Allied forces around Raymond. They are not strong in combat, but they are numerous, and they can be regarded as competent by a battalion commander named Pan Dingxin. His troops are also the strongest among all Chinese auxiliary forces.

After two days, nearly a thousand Chinese casualties and escaped, but Raymond was not worried. He had 3,000 Chinese auxiliary troops around him. According to the current casualties, it could last for a whole week.

As for the casualties between the French and the Russians, it can be described as mediocre. With the efforts of Battalion Commander Pan, the French army only went to the battlefield at a critical moment. Yesterday, two Frenchmen returned to heaven. Today, seven Frenchmen died, while for the Russians, two barbarians returned to the arms of their Russian mothers. As for the foreign mercenaries, although many were injured, no dead appeared.

If you continue to fight with such casualties, it will be fine even if it lasts for half a month. Moreover, Raymond is ready. As long as he can last for two days in Jinshan County, Major General Mengtuo will definitely send a large number of reinforcements to support him.

While the old major was thinking about the final battle in his life, a Chinese official over there led him over by the translator, and he asked: "God of Admiral Lei, are we retreating appropriately? Our enemies may have received some reinforcements!"

"Pan!" This is the Chinese that Raymond likes the most, so he opened the skylight and said: "Believe me, no problem!"

Yes, it would be fine even if he reinforced an infantry brigade.

He didn't know that there was only one more person on the Hongjun opposite.

But even though this person did not arrive at the battlefield, the morale of the entire Hongjun was completely different. When the morning sun rose, whether it was the Jiaxing Detachment, the 11th Land War Regiment, or the officers and soldiers of the ** Battalion who were transferred to the battle had a confident smile on their faces.

"What unit are we?" Li Guanglei shouted to a group of young officers in the detachment: "It's not the Jiaxing detachment, nor the Chuzhou ** Battalion. We are the Second Dragon Spear Regiment. That's right... the Second Dragon Spear Regiment, knock out our flag!"

The dragon spear flag that was made overnight was already waving in the wind. The young officers of the Jiaxing Detachment clenched their fists tightly, so excited that they couldn't even speak. A vanguard company commander had already promised Li Guanglei: "Don't worry, let this flag fly on the top of Jinshan County today!"

"That's right!" Li Guanglei repeated the magical sentence: "His Royal Highness Yan has come up, he is coming up!"

"The inspection is coming, it depends on our performance!"

"Even if the artillery fire is fierce, we are determined!"

"Our artillery only has one determination, that is, bayonets on the cannon!"

"Let's put the cannon at the door of the Yi Bing!"

"After all the artillery soldiers were bayonets, our infantry were even more determined to attack the white soldiers!"

Just when the officers and soldiers of the Jiaxing Detachment were full of confidence, Shi Tuiji had already brought great news: "Everyone, comrades, I have a new job of a new infantry company that I just arrived after landing. Today, our 11th Land War Regiment will invest 700 more people than yesterday!"

Li Guanglei was also proud: "I have notified the artillery that the artillery fire will not be restricted today, even if all the artillery is fired..."

Shi Tuiji is more mature than him: "Don't you ask how many troops His Highness Yan brought to you?"

"No more questions!" Li Guanglei never considered the problem of failure: "I only know that the inspection has come. For this reason, I transferred a strengthening company overnight as the final reserve team last night. As a result, Liu Ping gave me face and transferred two strengthening companies, one can be used now, and the other has to wait for noon to arrive!"

"good……"

"Okay!" Li Guanglei held Shi Tuiji's hand tightly and said, "Fight well!"

But before the battle broke out, the entire battlefield showed a rare tranquility, and the officers and soldiers were enjoying the most sumptuous breakfast.

They all ate breakfast silently. In addition to having a soy milk added this morning, each of them also had two more eggs. In addition, the portion of the breakfast also increased a lot. In addition, there was a small amount of wine. In addition, there was a sound of slaughtering pigs later.

It was a meal waiting for the officers and soldiers to return successfully, but the officers and soldiers were terriblely silent. From time to time, people lowered their heads and chewed the fried dough sticks in their mouths.

For many, this is the last breakfast!

The battle in the past two days has caused hundreds of casualties to the entire Hongjun, and many of them have also been covered with blood and dust. This is a fact that cannot be changed.

The sun rose, and some officers and soldiers were nostalgic about this. The beautiful sun rose, but soon the gunshots from the east interrupted their pleasure.

It was the Rainbow Army's scouts fighting against the Qing army, so the officers and soldiers accelerated their movements, just like they usually did, and ate the fried dough sticks and meat-filled buns in their hands in a few bites, and shouted, "Prepare...prepare..."

Soon, a brigade of enemies appeared in the telescope of the commander of the Rainbow Army, including the Qing army in telco clothes, the French in blue uniforms, and those foreign soldiers in gray uniforms. No matter who they were, these were enemies they deserved to pay attention to.

The intensity of the outpost battle exceeded the imagination of both sides. The vanguard teams of both sides even had fierce hand-to-hand combat. It must be admitted that the French army was a good player in hand-to-hand combat, so the Hongjun suffered some losses, but they soon found the venue on the Qing army.

The gunshots became increasingly dense, and Major Raymond was soon surprised: "Are the rebels crazy?"

He had already discovered the Chinese artillery in the telescope, not the small cannons made by the Chinese, but European light artillery such as twelve pounds of mountain dungeons, nine pounds of field guns, rifled guns, etc., although these cannons were just European light artillery.

But when the Chinese risked the loss of artillery to push the artillery to the front line, the situation of the outpost battle was completely reversed. Pan Dingxin next to him was already a little shocked at the level of effort of the enemy: "The red thief is crazy..."

The Hong Army used bayonets to charge against cannons to describe this tactic, which has set the tone for today's battle. Major Raymond knew that these cannons were considered precious artillery even on the Russian side, let alone these rebels, and he felt that this was destined to be a bloody day.

But he told Pan Dingxin: "Don't worry, today's winner can only be us!"

In the distance, the infantry of the Hong Army had gathered. With the telescope and flat terrain, Raymond had seen a sea of ​​green grass!

He had already remembered Crimea, where the Russians also launched an offensive with such a crowd, but the Russians fought side by side with him today, and the enemy was replaced by Chinese rebels.

The infantry formation of the Hong Army on the other side has already advanced forward!
