Chapter 39: The Western Front Is Not Peaceful (3)

Hall of Care for Heart.

After hearing the good news reported by Shize, Guangxu slapped the table excitedly: "Okay, the Guards really do not disappoint me! I sent an order to the Ministry of War, and the soldiers who have made meritorious reports among the generals will be rewarded!"

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Shize quickly picked up Sun Yuwen's words and said the most important thing.

Guangxu frowned after hearing this: "This Sun Yuwen is a good thing he is the Minister of War and is too brave. However, some of the things he said reminded me of Prince Li."

"I'm here!"

"You go and call King Gong, Sun Yuwen and Wu Faxian come to see me together."

"Wa"

After receiving the call, several people rushed to Yangxin Palace. On the way, the three of them also learned about the great victory in Xinjiang. They guessed what the emperor was going to ask, and they silently straightened out their thoughts in their hearts.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Guangxu asked: "Have you had the supplies for the northwest troops of the Guards? Where is Wang Zhanyuan's troops now?"

Wu Faxian and Sun Yuwen replied one after another.

"The ammunition supply to Wang Zhanyuan's troops was transported out in two batches, totaling 15,000 guns, 5 million spoils and 50,000 shells. All of them have arrived at the department and signed for them."

"The King Zhanyuan's unit of the Northwest Guards has now moved to Lanzhou. Three regiments of the King's unit set out from Lanzhou to Xinjiang last month. Before the Telecommunications, they have arrived in Suzhou."

Guangxu nodded and said he knew, and immediately ordered: "Selection order, one of the three infantry regiments who went to Xinjiang entered Korla, the second one entered Aksu, and the third one entered Kashgar. The three units rely on each other to measure the complete results. In addition, the ammunition supply of the Chen regiment was sent to Seleger as soon as possible and handed over to the Chen regiment to make up for the loss. The remaining four regiments of Wang Zhanyuan's troops and the artillery regiment were carrying their supplies to prepare for the assistance of Xinjiang at any time."

"Yeah!"

He also said to Yi Xin: "Please contact the British, our army will annihilate the Russian army entering our territory. Now we have actually controlled the area east of the Uzberi Pass to Langal. Therefore, please ask the British to fulfill their promises and ensure the supply of our advance corps."

"Wa"

Yi Xin asked again: "Where is the Russian?"

Guangxu sneered: "Didn't the Russians not admit that they have troops entering our country? Then just pretend they don't exist."

When he returned to the harem, Guangxu, who was still excited, told Dexin the news.

Looking at the emperor's joy, Dexin smiled and said, "This matter is really worth the emperor's happiness. To be honest, I later searched carefully about the map and finally found the place "Su Man". It was only a little older in total, why did the emperor care so much?"

Guangxu stepped forward and hugged his wife and said, "You don't understand. In the Central Asian territory, the British and Russians have very strong power, but our Qing Dynasty is relatively weak. Now Britain and Russia hope to overwhelm each other. At this time, our Tibet and Xinjiang have become a hot commodity. Any party can occupy these two lands may become a source of power to overwhelm each other in the future. It's just that because our Qing Dynasty still has a tiger stand, neither of these two countries has seen this. Now our military operations in Pamir are to tell these two countries that I am not easy to mess with. In this way, if any country wants to bully us, it has to consider facing us and joining forces with the other side. Moreover, in this way, our Qing Dynasty has become a hot commodity, because our combat effectiveness is a key factor in destroying the balance between Britain, Russia and China, so neither country dares to provoke us easily, and they also have to think about ways to win us over to enhance their own strength."

De Xin understood a little bit: "In other words, the purpose of our battle with the Russians is not to regain that place, but to prevent the Russians or the British from seizing more of our land in the future."

Guangxu suddenly whispered on Dexin's face: "Yes, that's the reason!"

Dexin was raided by the emperor. Although she felt as sweet as she was, she still looked shy on the surface: "Your Majesty, be careful to let Master Weng see this in broad daylight."

Guangxu deliberately put on a stern face: "Why, I kissed my queen, but I won't let you go? Besides, you can find a more reliable one if you find a reason. Is this Kunning Palace OK? Can Master Weng come here?"

Dexin then remembered that the emperor had cancelled the Yuqing Palace lecture, and now Weng Tonghe had been kicked away by Guangxu.

In mid-October, the Guards occupied Murgabu and could approach the Uzberi Pass at any time to support Dong Fuxiang's troops stationed there, or go south to occupy Sassakur and enter the "understanding area". However, due to the issue of supply, Chen Xuequan had to give up Suman and other places that had been recaptured and retreated to Selekur. After the Guards' continuous combat, the average number of bullets for each soldier was less than ten, and there were only a few shells left. However, even so, Chen Xuequan still concentrated the limited ammunition and handed over to Suman's left-behind company for use in order to prevent the Russians from making a comeback after they left.

In November, Chen Xuequan finally waited for his first batch of supplies.

"Ryozi, why are you here? I remember you are a soldier, why have you become the transport captain? Is it because you are not good at your level and have been taken down by the young master?"

Chen Xuequan happily hugged the shoulder of the battalion commander who came to transport supplies and joked.

Liangzi glared: "Don't be ungrateful. Brother, this is a serious artillery camp! If Mr. Wu hadn't said that it was your regiment on the front line, we couldn't lose our own people. Can I come here to the place where birds don't shit?"

Liangzi is also an old man from the Black Flag Army. He went to Beijing together, but later he went to the non-commissioned officer school and changed to the artillery, and now he is the artillery battalion commander. Although his position is lower than that of Chen Xuequan's regiment commander, his military rank is not low.

Chen Xuequan smiled and said, "Isn't this a joke? Why, was it the young master Wu sent you here? Where is the young master?"

Liangzi glanced at her mouth and said indifferently: "Young Master is busy. You are a small group, and you don't care about it. Tell you, now, only Mr. Wu is left in the capital. Mr. Huang goes to the navy, and Mr. Yang goes to Tianjin, and he is not here. Moreover, Mr. Wu is in charge of the general military supplies now, and even the emperor has to ask him if he has any questions."

Chen Xuequan said in surprise: "Is that true? It seems that the capital has changed a lot."

"Of course, do you think it's the little broken land in Xi'an?"

"Hehe, don't say anything else, hurry up and tell me what good things I have brought to me this time."

As soon as he mentioned this, Liangzi tickled her teeth. "I'm also saying that it's because of you that I've handed over all the latest equipment. It's already a bad luck to go to your place where birds don't poop, and I have to guard a batch of old equipment."

Chen Xuequan was anxious when he heard this: "Why is it an old equipment? I am facing the Russians here. That fierce mess. If it weren't for the guy in our hands, I wouldn't be able to stop it. What's wrong with the court? I'll let us fight!"

Liangzi said in a stack of voices: "Stop, stop, stop, stop, what do you know? You are just making a noise here. You have never seen the new equipment you are talking about before. The so-called old-fashioned refers to the rustic buns you are using now."

All brothers of life and death, Chen Xuequan was completely immune to Liangzi's contempt and asked: "All the guys in our hands are old? What new guy has that young master troubled?"

Liangzi rolled his eyes and said, "Just like this, I want to get the highest secret of our army? Do you look down on revolutionary soldiers too much?"

Chen Xuequan slapped his chest: "Tonight, I'll roast a camel. Do you want to arrange two more Tajik girls for you?" As he said that, he showed a lewd smile on his face.

" Stay away from me and want to corrupt the revolutionary warriors, right? The girl is spared. You know our discipline, but roast camels cannot be missed!" Liangzi said seriously.

"Oh, don't worry, you can hold on to death! Say it quickly."

Liangzi said proudly: "Okay. Let's tell you first this first thing is a light machine gun."

Chen Xuequan was confused: "What is a light machine gun?"

Ryoko said impatiently: "You don't understand, you don't understand, anyway, it's just light in weight and not much sluggish than your rifle, but you can shoot continuously."

Chen Xuequan Daxiong said: "It's similar to Green Cannon?"

"Well, the meaning is similar. They all provide continuous fire support, but they are much lighter and use pointed rifle bullets, so it is more convenient to carry or replenish."

"Oh, then did this guy give us supplies this time?"

Ryoko looked at him: "No!"

Chen Xuequan suddenly said disgusted: "What else is there without you?"

"There is another type of artillery called a mortar, which has two calibers. For example, it is 60 mm, which is extremely light in weight, and it will be carried away by one person. Moreover, the shooting accuracy is very accurate, and it will hit wherever it is within a thousand meters. According to our artillery, it is 'fixed removal'. This kind of mortar, plus light machine gun, is the best infantry support weapon for mountain and jungle combat, according to Gongziye,"

"Are you going to equip us?"

"No!"

"roll!"

"There is also a 75mm cannon, which is so awesome. One cannon can beat the previous gun company!"

"Is there mine?"

"Only not!"

“Roasted Camel Cancel!”

"Don't, brother, why are you trying to do with me? To be honest, I was puzzled before coming. I was obviously going to fight here, so why didn't I give you this equipment? What do you think Mr. Wu said?"

Chen Xuequan asked: "What do you say?"

"Young Master Wu said that it was the emperor's special explanation, saying that he was worried about leaking military secrets!"

When Chen Xuequan heard that it was the emperor's order issued by himself, he lost his temper. After holding it in for a while, he still couldn't help it. "What do you think about this emperor? As you said, the new equipment is just suitable for mountain combat, why don't we get equipment?"

Liangzi shrugged: "How could I know? But..." He hooked his fingers at Chen Xuequan ambiguously.

"What are you doing?"

"There are still good things for you."

Chen Xuequan immediately looked lit up: "What good thing?"

"Come with me." Liangzi turned around and took Chen Xuequan to several big cars. "Please take a look!" As he said that, he suddenly lifted the veil of the oil cloth, revealing a big guy below.

Chen Xuequan hurried forward, touched the thick tube carefully, and asked, "Rayon, what's this?"

"This is called Maxim, a heavy machine gun, which is called the strongest gun in the world today by the young master, no one! It uses a 4-5 caliber smokeless cartridge, weighs 52 kilograms, a water-cooled gun barrel, a chain of ammunition supply, and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. Compared with him, Green cannons are just scum!"

"So fierce?"

"That's right, tell you, this was secretly rated to you by Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu said that the emperor just said that the new weapon cannot be given to you. This was invented by foreigners. Although it has been transformed by Mr. Master, it is not considered a new weapon, so it does not require the emperor's approval. How about it, it's interesting!"

Chen Xuequan said repeatedly: "Okay, it's up to you to your own people."

Liangzi said, "That's it! There's this." As he said that, he pried open another small box. He saw rows of wooden handles and iron lumps.

"What is this?"

"This is called a grenade, it is a single weapon. Then..." Ryoko picked up a grenade, "unscrew the lid below, pull the rope and then throw it out. With a bang, it exploded. Remember, it was still far away when throwing it. This thing looks like a shell, and it is very powerful."

Chen Xuequan touched these iron guys: "This should be a new weapon, right?"

Liangzi quickly covered Chen Xuequan's mouth. "Don't say it. I'll tell you secretly. Mr. Wu said that this thing is a consumable and cannot be kept accurately. He intercepted a batch of recruits from the training volume. Do you understand!"

Chen Xuequan nodded quickly.

"Okay, are there any roasted camels now?"

"Yes, there are girls."

"Don't mention the girl to me!"

"Okay, I won't mention it. By the way, I asked you just now that you haven't said it yet. Why are you here this time? Is it just for these things?" As he said that, Chen Xuequan pointed to Maxim and the grenade.

Liangzi waved his hand: "It's just one thing. The main reason is that Maxim's operation actually has a unique set of tactics. You haven't used it before, and I'm afraid you won't be able to operate it, so you'll waste your equipment. In addition, Mr. Wu has added some 75 guns and 57 guns to you. Although the cannons are old guys, the shells are new. The effect is not comparable to before, so let's come and support you and train you by the way."

Chen Xuequan was overjoyed when he heard this and went up to a bear hug: "That's great, we can fight side by side again!"
