It was discovered that the Ma'anguan channel was blocked and there were Qing troops defending the shore. The reconnaissance team retreated one kilometer and prepared to find a place to conduct drone reconnaissance. The location where they docked was on the south bank of the Xiujiang River, with a hill next to it.
.
It is said that the Xiujiang River flows from south to north to the southern part of Teng County. Due to the obstruction of the mountains, it was forced to turn eastward and then turned northward, thus forming a wide water surface. When we reached the highest point of the hill, we found that
You can see the water barrier of Ma'anguan here without a telescope.
The reconnaissance captain of the Hoi An camp is called Chen Wenxiu, and his military rank is captain. This man has a very delicate name, but his appearance and personality are the opposite. There is a scar on his face from the corner of his left eye that he got when he fought with the Dutch.
The lower jaw looks very fierce and tough. This man is originally from Zhejiang. His ancestors fled to Hoi An in the late Ming Dynasty and became one of the "ten old men and six surnames" of Ming Huang Society.
"Let the 'eye of heaven' out! I want to see who dares to block us regardless of life or death."
As soon as Chen Wenxiu finished speaking, a gray drone that shrank to only the size of a palm quickly rose from the hillside and flew towards Ma'an Pass.
Today, drones have become the standard equipment of the North Korean Navy in combat. In addition to the servant army, they are equipped with reconnaissance teams, artillery companies, and special operations battalions at the regiment level of all directly affiliated troops. In order not to attract the attention of interested people,
Zhao Xin asked his cousin to set up a drone technology company a few years ago, and he worked hard to get the application platform authorization from a drone manufacturer. After the company was established, it claimed to provide industry application solutions, but in fact
Ninety-percent of the bags are produced and sold by the company, and the bags just change hands between companies.
Specific to the combat troops of the North Korean Navy, both officers and soldiers like to call this thing "eyes in the sky". The real name "unmanned aerial vehicle" is hard to understand. After all, there are no airplanes in this time and space.
Due to cost issues, the drones used by the North Korean Navy are mainly divided into ordinary and advanced types. For example, the artillery troops use high-end drones with telemetry functions, while the regiment-level reconnaissance troops use hand-held remote controls.
It's an ordinary product; it's small and easy to carry. The only thing that makes it less interesting is that the detection range is only two or three kilometers.
As Zhao Xin's "son" in the Northern Navy's southern system, he will have a lot of equipment that he should have for the camp. The instructions for use of the drone equipped by the reconnaissance team indicate that it can fly up to 6 kilometers, but that
There must be no obstruction on the ground, which is obviously not applicable in a mountainous environment like Guangxi. The maximum distance is usually two kilometers.
The drone made a cheerful "buzzing" sound, passing over the turquoise river water and turquoise mountain forests, and then rose sharply upwards, and the outline of the city on the hill to the west of Ma'an Pass appeared in the return screen.
The stockade covers an area of only five or six acres, which is half the size of a football field. There are barracks to the north and west, and the gate opens to the south. On the east side of the stockade facing Ma'an Pass, there is a fort with a gun mount on it.
There was a small cannon. Judging from the thickness of the gun barrel, it looked like a second-class general cannon. Several gunner-looking guys were sitting under a nearby straw shed, seeming to be chatting.
The Northern Navy has captured this kind of gun many times in past battles. The gun body is 1.5 meters long and weighs about 120 kilograms. Two people can easily carry it away. If you are strong, it will be no problem for one person to carry it. Every time
It fires with a charge of eight taels to one kilogram, has an effective range of one thousand meters, and its power is average, but it is definitely enough for hitting wooden boats and bamboo rafts.
The camera zoomed in, and Chen Wenxiu noticed a black triangular flag standing on the fort. The flagpole was estimated to be about two meters high, and there was a ribbon more than one meter long under the flag crown. However, because it was noon, it was hot and windless.
, the flag could only droop listlessly.
Some people in later generations always say that the green flags of the Qing Dynasty's green camps were all marked by green flags, but this is not true. In the green camps, generally only the governor's banner and the long flags of each camp were in green. However, like any camp flag, the general flags were all green.
Variegated flags. The specific color of the flag depends on what flag the enemy uses. Therefore, contrasting colors can be used to quickly identify ourselves and the enemy on the battlefield.
For example, Shandong Green Camp used to use red flags, but when they discovered that the Northern Navy landing in Jiaodong also flew red flags, they quickly changed it to a white flag with black letters. By the way, in the ancient Chinese army, the flag was
The white flag does not mean surrender.
The camera zoomed out again, and it was possible to see that there were not many Qing troops moving in the village. It was estimated that there were only about 200 people. Instead, there were shadows of people moving in the dense bamboo forest on the south side of the village. It was estimated that some Qing troops had gone into the forest to avoid the sun.
.
Chen Wenxiu wiped the sweat from his face with his hand and said to the soldier in charge of the operation: "Go to the east and have a look."
The drone flew across the river and arrived over the city wall on the east side in a blink of an eye. The specifications of the two stockades in Ma'anguan are basically the same, symmetrical from east to west. There is also a fort on the west side of the wall, with a second general's cannon. However,
There are more Qing troops active in the walled city here, around 300 people.
Chen Wenxiu showed a bit of disdain on his face, thinking that this was all, without the need for a large army behind him, the more than 30 people he brought with him could defeat them with a single charge, and the Qing army would definitely be able to escape.
At this time, a sudden gust of wind blew from the northwest. The drone was blown around, and the picture returned shook up and down. When the operating soldier stabilized it, he soon noticed the black pennant on the fort.
It was also blown open, and red writing could be vaguely seen on it. He hurriedly said: "Captain, look!"
Chen Wenxiu came closer and her eyes were almost glued to the palm-sized screen. However, because the drone flew very high from the ground, even though the focal length of the lens was adjusted to the maximum, she could still not clearly see the words on the flag.
Seeing the opportunity to confirm the battalion head of the Qing army, Chen Wenxiu urged the soldiers operating the drone to lower the height of the drone.
"Ping... Le... Xie... Get closer, get closer! Zuo... Zuoying... Guard...
.Hey! What’s going on!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when Chen Wenxiu was about to read out all the words on the pennant, suddenly, a black shadow appeared from the lower left corner of the screen and quickly approached and grew larger, but still
Before he could recognize what it was, he saw the picture on the screen suddenly rolling and twisting uncontrollably, accompanied by violent shaking. After a few seconds, the picture finally stopped, and the screen was filled with green branches and leaves, and
A corner of the sky peeking out from between the branches and leaves.
The reconnaissance team's drone exploded!
The soldier in charge of the operation was already panicking. His hands were clicking on the control panel quickly, but there was no response on the screen. Chen Wenxiu on the side was also dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and let it fly! Hurry up!
Fly!"
"Captain, something seemed to have hit me just now and knocked off the Sky Eye."
When his subordinates reminded him, Chen Wenxiu also sensed that something was wrong. He was frowning and thinking when suddenly, the soldier in charge of the operation shouted again: "Captain, look!"
When I went there, I saw a big hand suddenly appear on the picture returned by the drone. Then the camera shook and rose rapidly. When the picture turned, the entire screen was instantly filled with a dark face, but that face
Only half of it was exposed, and the enlarged pores and growing beard were clearly visible. Soon, the screen began to flip again, and this time a gray-blue Qing army uniform appeared on the screen.
Needless to say, the fallen drone was picked up by the Qing army. Chen Wenxiu was very angry about this, because it meant that he had to retrieve it, otherwise he would not be able to deliver the goods.
Drones are high-level controlled items in the North Korean Navy, and the staff department has strict regulations on this. Whether it is due to operation, internal failure or external reasons, the wreckage must be found and brought back to be handed in, and then a letter must be written.
A copy of the cause of the accident must be submitted to the supervisor for review and signature, otherwise there is no chance of receiving a new one. Of course, if it fell into the sea, that would be a different story, but it must be proven by someone else.
The reason why there is such a regulation is not because the Qing Dynasty will pick up and imitate things. After all, even if the skilled craftsmen from the manufacturing office come, there will be no use for things like chips and circuit boards. The key is to ensure that the various ministries of the North Navy have a strict management system for military supplies, otherwise the preparations will
One day soon, someone will resell a complete drone. If there is another defector, it will be a lot of fun.
There must be at least two to three hundred drones that have bombed planes in Beihai Town in the past ten years, especially during the training process. Most of them were damaged. Most of the reasons for bombing the planes were that they were attacked by an overly curious bird during flight.
Either because the signal is lost, there are very few cases of being shot down.
Chen Wenxiu already had a premonition in his mind. He estimated that it was his eagerness to ask the operator to lower the height that caused the "Sky Eye" to fall down. But what was the black shadow that flew just now?
He didn't have time to think too much at this moment, and immediately led the people down the mountain back to the shore, and explained the situation to his men. Then he asked his deputy and ten soldiers to stay behind to guard the assault boat, while he took the other twenty people with him.
equipment, and headed toward the Qing army camp on the east side of Ma'an Pass along the river bank.
At the same time, in the Qing army camp on the east side of Ma'an Pass, the drone with a broken rotor was carefully placed on the table. The guerrillas in charge of the camp and several generals came over to take a closer look.
The leading guerrilla even had the courage to stab him a few times with his finger.
Outside the door, there were crowds of soldiers looking around, curious about the things on the table. As people who have lived in the mountains of Guidong for many years, what kind of birds have they never seen?
A bird that chirps and is still stiff is really strange; it has a head without a head and no feathers. But if you want to say that it is not a bird, everyone present saw it flying in the sky just now.
If it hadn't been for the buzzing sound of this thing that attracted the attention of Mr. Qian Meng, who had just returned from outside, and shot it down with an arrow, killing them, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a thing in the world.
As the commander of the battalion, the guerrilla looked for a long time without understanding. He turned around and said with a smile to a six-foot-tall young general with a majestic appearance: "Mr. Meng Qian is truly worthy of being a martial arts scholar, and his string skills are superb! I have never seen this before."
I’ve seen such monsters before.”
When the soldiers outside the door heard what the guerrillas called "monsters," they were all frightened and took a few steps back. The guy who had just picked up the things excitedly turned pale immediately, and hurriedly ran to the sun and kowtowed to the north.
He raised his head and kept mumbling something.
Pingle Xie Zuoying Qianzong Meng Denggao ignored the commotion outside the door, clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your compliments! The generals are just some minor skills, nothing. Speaking of which, your archery skills are amazing, I
No one knows about Ping Le Xie."
"Why be so modest?" Guerrilla, who is nearly fifty years old, waved his hand and said: "According to my opinion, let alone Pingyuefu, I am afraid that you are the only one in Guangxi who can use a ten-power bow. Even in my prime, I am far inferior to Mr. Meng Qian.
If you take part in the provincial examination, you will definitely be able to pass the high school martial arts examination, and it will be no problem to go to Beijing to get the top martial arts championship. Originally, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he would definitely have an enke in the coming year, but now the enemy is coming, alas, what a pity!"
Meng Denggao said calmly: "I don't think so. As the ancients said, fame can only come from horses..."
"Report~~~!"
Before Meng Deng finished speaking, he saw a soldier running in from outside the door. He knelt on one knee and said breathlessly: "My lord, sir, a group of people came from the south. There are more than 20 people. Look.
Dressed like a pirate."
"What?!" Zhangying Guerrilla's expression changed and he asked: "Are you sure there are only more than 20 people?"
"How dare a villain deceive an adult? I am willing to guarantee it with my life."
The guerrilla leader in charge of the camp said that only twenty men dared to challenge me. Who are you looking down on? I have a thousand combat soldiers under my command, and there are another thousand combat soldiers and two thousand auxiliary soldiers in Teng County.
Thinking of this, he slapped the table and said angrily: "What a pirate from the North Sea, you dare to deceive me and have no one in Ping Le Xie. You are really arrogant! Mr. Meng Qian, I ordered you to bring one hundred, no, two hundred wolf soldiers.
I’ll give you thirty more gunmen, and I’ll make sure to wipe out all these bandits.”
"I obey!"
230 against 20, although it sounds like overkill, but Zhangying guerrillas still dare not be careless. The reputation of the Beihai Navy is really too great. He was sent here by Zhu Gui's name, and he got enough to let others
The camp leader was jealous and rewarded him with money. He could not lose in the first fight no matter what.
On the other side, Chen Wenxiu was walking while thinking about the words on the black flag he just saw.
Pingle Xiezuoying should be the Qing army from Pinglefu. He carefully read the information about the green camps in various places in the east of Guangxi at the regiment headquarters. Among them, the Qing army in Pinglefu had three battalion heads, including Pingle Xiezuoying.
The total registered strength of the Fuhe Camp and the Mailing Camp is about 1,400, of which the Pingle Xizuo Camp has only 400 troops.
It's a joke to stop me from setting up camp with just a small number of troops! Let's see how I deal with you later.
Poor Chen Wenxiu didn't know at this time that the four hundred soldiers of Pingle Xie Zuoying were just ordinary troops during non-war times. After Zhu Gui, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, issued an order to mobilize troops to rush to Wuzhou, all the wolf soldiers and native soldiers in Guidong
They were all quickly recruited, and the number of soldiers in the Pingle Association skyrocketed to 4,000.
The "Xie" of the Green Battalion is actually called "Xie Ying", which generally consists of two to five battalions. Its number is not fixed, with large ones having thousands of people, and small ones with only dozens of people. The troops are allocated completely according to the local environment where they are stationed.
.A few hundred men are enough if there is no war, but once the garrison is deployed for cross-border operations, the size of the battalion will be expanded.
The number of troops in the established army cannot be increased or decreased at will, but no one has ever cared about the number of auxiliary soldiers. You can take as many as you like. Anyway, the court does not provide food and salary, and the generals who have the ability to lead the army can be raised, so it has always been about the same. However,
This time Zhu Gui said that although the auxiliary soldiers were not responsible for their pay, they could be responsible for their food, and they would be rewarded for going into battle.
Two hours later, Chen Wenxiu, who was eager to retrieve the wreckage of the bomber, led 20 of his men, and 230 wolf soldiers led by Meng Denggao finally collided head-on in the forest at the northern foot of Lingshan Mountain.
