No matter how far-reaching the impact of the night talk between Yang Meng and Li Hongzhang was, these things did not leak out, and the impact on the outside world was ultimately small and secret. What really attracted everyone's attention was the war on the Tsarist Russian front. Time flies in the stalemate. Representatives from Europe and the United States, while feeling the customs of the Qing Dynasty, are worried about the war in Tsarist Russia. How lethal will the mysterious weapon mentioned by Duke Yang of the Qing Dynasty be? Among them, the most nervous one is Seward of the Millennium. The civil war in the Millennium is getting more and more fierce. Tens of thousands of Millennium soldiers are injured or killed every day. If this kind of weapon is used, it can really decide the outcome of the battle. If he has the ability, then his trip to the east will be fruitful. He will surely get the credit for turning the tide of the war and safeguarding the unity of the country. Observers from European and American countries have arrived at the front line of Tsarist Russia. The telegraph system of the Qing Dynasty is also something that makes everyone¡¯s eyes shine. Long-distance telegraph lines are not a rare thing for European countries. Many countries have them more or less. There are some telegraph lines, but like the Qing Dynasty, which invested heavily in establishing a nationwide telegraph system, even Britain and France in Europe were lacking in this area. In just one month, the efficiency of the telegraph network has been recognized by European and American countries. Subsequently, Siemens has also been looked down upon by many European countries. If it were not for Siemens, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty's telegraph system would not be able to improve. So perfect, right? Many European countries were cautious about using the entire telegraph system for military purposes. The Qing Dynasty set a precedent and achieved considerable rewards. Battle reports from the Tsarist Russian front. You can reach Guangzhou across thousands of miles in one day. This is undoubtedly a major change in the military world. From now on, I am afraid that Siemens will make a lot of money in this field. Unlike the turmoil in Guangzhou, the front line of Tsarist Russia has been very quiet these days. It has entered late autumn in Tsarist Russia, and the temperature has dropped very quickly. For the soldiers. Cold trenches are undoubtedly a kind of torture, and this is especially true for the Qing army who built the trenches on the west bank of the Volga River. Every night, the cold dampness and water mist continue to torture the nerves of hundreds of people in the Qing army. Zeng Disheng and Shi Dakai have already formulated an attack plan. Now, what they are waiting for is a windless morning. Why choose to attack early in the morning? The cold fog of autumn. As the think tank of the entire army. Naturally, Shi Dakai would not ignore the matter of weather. The people of Xishan and Minghu also played a very important role in such a decision. Once this idea was proposed, it received a response from most people. , have been sent to all positions along the Volga River to the Dvina River Basin, and more than 13,000 artillery pieces of more than 12 pounds have also been properly deployed. Although, on average, each trench position only has a few large and small artillery pieces. Ten guns, but fortunately the number of artillery shells is sufficient. Each gun has at least dozens of shells, which is enough to support a two-quarter-hour bombardment. If the life of the artillery is concerned, a half-hour bombardment is more appropriate. "Mr. Di, most of our artillery are naval guns, which are very difficult to cast. In order to achieve what we can see, it is best for the early morning bombardment to last for more than an hour. "Moreover, the morning fog is easy to disperse, and it shines on the west mountain. It is said that the longer the bombardment lasts, the better. Now that each artillery position has an accurate bombardment range, can the bombardment time be extended to more than an hour? " Facing his old rival Zeng Disheng, Shi Dakai was also quite polite. His identity As a result, he, Shi Dakai, was only a subordinated general now, and his background was inferior to that of Zeng Disheng, so his attitude had to be lowered. "General Shi has no plans left. It's okay for General Shi to make the decision. It's all for the rise of China. The bigger the result, the better." When he first met Shi Dakai, Zeng Disheng also had a look of surprise, but after thinking about it, he also I understand, Yang Laosan employs people in an eclectic way, but Shi Dakai, a bandit, is also outstanding in military strategy, and up to now, his contribution to Zeng Yisheng is already considerable. No matter how great it is, he will probably be provoked. Yang Laosan got suspicious. A great battle to determine the ownership of the territory of Tsarist Russia was concluded with the humility of Zeng and Shi. With the orders of the Chinese army, the soldiers below spared no effort in executing them. The final battle! After fighting until now, many of the soldiers were a little tired of the war. Using the last battle to boost their morale was Zeng Disheng's method. Hundreds of European and American military observers were also placed by Zeng Disheng at all the positions along the river for them to observe the battle. Secondly, it was to let them see the general level of the Qing artillery, which was also a form of deterrence. The almost aimless bombardment suddenly sounded on the Qing positions. The reaction of Tsarist Russia seemed to be exhausted. Most of the aid from European countries was light weapons, with very few artillery. They were faced with all kinds of attacks. The Tsarist Russia had no choice but to endure the shelling of the entire position. But as the pungent smell spreads in the air, Tsarist Russia?The generals felt that something was a little abnormal. Looking at the little light in the night and fog, many people felt a little creepy. Artillery shells that can burn for a long time were unheard of before. Many soldiers and generals were curious about the burning artillery shells in front and behind the position, trying to explore the secrets of these artillery shells in the Qing Dynasty. This behavior undoubtedly caused tragedy , as the shells burned, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger. At this time, the generals of Tsarist Russia also noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. The highly toxic smoke began to spread on the position. After the poisonous smoke combined with the morning fog, the poisonous fog settled. Facing the poisonous fog, The trenches' defense against shelling became a display, and screams began to spread on the Tsarist Russian position. However, the shelling that lasted for an hour covered up the screams that continued to come from the Tsarist Russian position. "After the shelling, the army retreated thirty miles!" The one-hour shelling seemed very boring. Under the surprised eyes of European and American military observers, the Qing army abandoned their positions and stepped on simple bridges made of logs. Some were desperate and fled to the open space across the water. Escape, yes! Just running away, looking at the terrified expressions of the Qing soldiers, many observers were even more confused, but they were only observers accompanying the army, and their actions were restricted by the Qing army, although they were quite curious about the positions of the Russian side. , but had no choice but to escape. Time flies by, and today¡¯s sunrise seems so weak. More than an hour after the sunrise, the fog on the other side has still not dispersed. From early morning to early morning, from early morning to noon, the fog has finally dispersed. Looking from the other side of the river, you can clearly see the smoke rising from the Russian position. Is this probably caused by shelling? What is really surprising is the reaction on the Tsarist Russian position. Many European and American observers saw the burning military supplies. At this time, the Tsarist Russian side should be putting out the fire regardless of damage, but the Tsarist Russian position showed no reaction at all. . Silence, chilling silence, among the army, this silence is extremely terrifying and terrifying. Listening to the noisy voices around you, you can feel the silence of the Tsarist Russian position. This feeling is truly frightening. "The Qing army, on the other hand, still had no reaction in the face of such a strange situation. What were they waiting for? Waiting is always anxious, especially at this time, and the Qing army has no intention of moving forward at all. After the afternoon, these Qing troops began to prepare dinner and bonfires. Judging from their appearance, they did not intend to enter today. position. European and American observers also know that there will be no results in questioning these Qing soldiers. If they want the results, they can only wait for these Qing soldiers to solve the mystery for them. Sleeping in Tsarist Russia in late autumn is definitely not a pleasure. Although along the river, Almost all of them were bonfires raised by the Qing army, but the late autumn night in Tsarist Russia was still cold. At noon the next day, the Qing army carefully crossed the pontoon bridge and entered their defense zone. Afterwards, they did not hesitate and, driven by military orders, walked directly into the trench positions on the Russian side. "Why?" "Why?" Such questions came from European and American observers invariably. Compared to these observers, the faces of the Qing army were not very good-looking. The reason was very simple, there were large areas of dead bodies with ferocious faces. As for why, it is difficult for Yang Meng to answer. Yang Meng originally intended to use incendiary bombs for naval battles, but after Xishan's transformation, this thing has become an extremely dangerous object. As for where this danger comes from, we have to ask Xishan, which handles Yunnan's accumulated slag. This is what Xishan paid for with hundreds of lives. Yang Meng smelled the strong smell of bitter almonds at the beginning. At this time, my face turned green with fear. Who would have thought that after years of slag is extracted, such an object will be produced? , Xishan¡¯s new object kills people. Such a combination will never be allowed to be used on the battlefield a hundred years later. By chance, Xishan invented this thing, and Yang Meng didn¡¯t mind using it. From now on, this It is the best deterrent weapon. With this incident from Tsarist Russia, no one will dare to cover up China's edge for many years to come. An obscure artillery battle resulted in countless casualties. Even those who witnessed it were hard to tell what happened. In the following months, the Qing Dynasty and Russia started a war of words in front of European and American countries. Tsarist Russia insisted on four million The death toll was high, while the Qing Dynasty could only sustain no more than a million casualties. Europe, the United States and Tsarist Russia know best what the outcome will be. Seward has also suspended the so-called orders. Whether some things can be used is still in doubt!
