Chapter 177: Major General of the British Army Digging Coal
When Liu Zhenming led his soldiers back to the Chinese City, Douglas of Vancouver fell into confusion. The immortal sword, Xuan Xiao Wuxi, read the whole story.
The British army was defeated too quickly and too thoroughly. The British telegrapher had just sent back a telegram saying that his army was ambushed by the Chinese and was flooded by the Chinese when they crossed the river.
Until the news ended, before the telegrapher could send out a second telegraph, the Chinese self-rescue army rushed up. The British telegrapher had only time to burn some important documents and password books, and then became a glorious prisoner.
.
If you are flooded by the flood, what happened next? If you lose, what will happen? If you lose, what will the loss be? Was the wireless motor plundered by the Chinese?
Douglas has to be known for the time being that the Little River Estuary Battlefield is about twenty days away from Vancouver. Of course, if the correspondents are riding horses, they can arrive in one week. This is also due to Douglas setting up multiple strongholds along the way.
To deliver messages, transport wounded, etc.
"Everyone, the Chinese front, the situation is serious and the situation is not good. Although we have not received any exact news yet, based on yesterday's news, we may have been defeated again." Douglas looked depressed and spoke hard. He is now facing the Chinese very much.
When the army is over, everything will not be lucky, but will be measured with the worst plan.
While he was speaking, a soldier sent several telegrams to the British generals to circulate them.
After reading the telegram, the British military staff and officers looked very good.
"When using water, can you still use water to flood during combat?"
"Those Chinese are so cunning. Why can he think of anything we didn't think of?"
"If it was just flooding, it would be impossible to have a big defeat, but the telegraph suddenly lost contact. It seems that the other party launched an attack in addition to this."
The British military staff were discussing and thought of various possible consequences as much as possible, but they did not expect the possibility of the entire army being destroyed. No matter how they wanted to break their heads, they could not think that the Australian brigade was completely gone. The one who went to deal with it was
The army of Chinese City has become history.
Douglas knocked on the table, stopped the discussion below, and said in a deep voice: "I have sent many liaison officers to check the situation, the Eye of All-Information reads all over the place. Moreover, I believe that Logan will also send someone to contact us,
But during this time, we must be prepared to bear defeat.”
"General, do you mean to increase troops on the Chinese front?" A staff officer frowned and said bluntly: "I think we should at least get the exact news, and in addition, if Colonel Logan really does
We should let Colonel Logan stop moving forward, and after we deal with the Finnians, we will unite the troops and eliminate the Chinese."
The Finnians were defeated one after another and were chased by the British army to Keelunga. If the Finnians defeated the final resistance, the British army could then head north and go directly to the Chinese city. The Chinese city is only more than 200 from Keelunga.
The kilometers are half the distance from Vancouver to Chinese City.
Therefore, the advice of this adviser is very referenceable.
The reason why the Finnians were defeated one after another was that the Finnians were unstable. On the one hand, they wanted to seek peace talks with the British army, but on the other hand, they had to deal with the battle. The Finnian soldiers were confused and confused.
Without the determination to fight to the death, he thought about escaping back to the United States when he was defeated.
In addition, their commander Weir did not have very outstanding talents, had a proper defense, and did not leave much reserve force behind before retreating. He was pressed on the battlefield in Vancouver. Once he collapsed, he would be flooded.
All these reasons are destined to fail. Of course, they are not useless, at least they have achieved Liu Zhenming's attempt to divide the British army into advance.
If Liu Zhenming had agreed to the Finnians go to the Chinese city, not to mention anything else, at least the British army would not divide the troops. This would put a lot of pressure on Liu Zhenming. Unfortunately, even if the troops were divided, the Finnians could not withstand the defeat and retreat step by step
ah.
The British military adviser's words won the approval of others.
"General, if nothing unexpected happens, we will need less than twenty days to defeat the Finnians and end the Battle of Keelunga."
"Then we go north to attack the Chinese, which will prevent us from insufficient soldiers due to the losses."
Douglas was finally convinced by several staff officers and did not draw troops from the Finnian front for the time being. Instead, he waited until the Finnians were eliminated and the troops were united and attacked the Chinese city.
Unfortunately, Douglas and others could no longer unite the troops, because the British army of Logan was now carrying various supplies in front of coolies in dejectedly, while the Chinese soldiers were leisurely holding guns and urging these foreigners to advance.
"These devils will only instruct us to do things."
"All right, you'd better say less. If they hear it, we won't be able to get it."
"Oh, I don't know how they will punish us in the end."
"We were really defeated this time and were captured by these Chinese without even shooting."
When Logan heard the soldiers' comments, he couldn't help but lower his head deeply.
Logan and Steve pushed the frame together, with cannons loaded on it and pulled it with six horses. Because the road was steeper, Logan and other prisoners pushed it behind.
"Didn't you eat enough? Hurry up, if you can't push it up, I will untie the reins of the horse and put them on you, so that you useless foreigners can pull it." A Chinese soldier was impatient.
He shouted loudly, raised the whip in his hand, constantly urging Steve and Logan.
"These Chinese are so hateful. We are officers and colonels. We should be treated in line with the military rank, rather than pushing the cannon forward like these soldiers." Steve was so angry that he almost got angry when he heard this.
It's just wrong.
Even if they became prisoners, these British officers still had their own pride.
"Forget it, Steve, don't be as knowledgeable as Chinese soldiers. This place is not far from Kamlosp, let's bear it." Logan obviously didn't want to cause more trouble, especially he didn't want to meet Liu Zhenming. For some reason,
Whenever Logan saw Liu Zhenming, he would feel frightened.
"No, I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand such insults and torture!" Steve obviously didn't think so. He straightened his waist and shouted to the Chinese soldiers next to him: "I want to see you."
Liu, the leader of the British Empire, I want to protest. We are all senior army officers of the British Empire and should not be pushing the carriage here. We..."
"We want to protest, we want to see Liu!" Before Steve could finish his words, a loud shout came from above.
Steve and other British prisoners stopped and looked up. They saw another team coming from another road. This team was quite strange. There were not only Chinese, black, and white people.
The carriage is filled with mined iron ore.
Chinese people were patrolling around with horses and guns, while black people followed behind with whips, while white people were doing coolies, pushing carts, or pulling horses. Some were slightly slower, and black people holding whips next to them were
A whip passed by.
The carriage convoy began to get restless when they saw the Chinese soldiers here.
All kinds of shouts were heard everywhere, and the most common sentence was to meet Liu Zhenming.
"Are they? The soldiers captured by Chinese people before?" Steve looked at Logan, and Logan looked at Steve again.
After a moment, the two teams met. Steve's eyes were sharp-eyed and saw a thin, dirty driver wearing a major general's clothes.
"Major General Mohot?" Steve's body was shocked and he screamed in disbelief.
Over there, Mohot, who heard the shouting, raised his head and looked over with a blank look on his face.
"Oh my God, are you Major General Mohot? Are you digging coal?" Steve seemed to see his future days and screamed loudly. (To be continued...)
