Chapter 311 Fill up the gas, let's go to Beijing!

"What?! Is Deshengmen under control?

After receiving the telegram, Chen Ping's eyes were straight. How could this be possible? Only two batches of more than 1,000 reconnaissance companies of various regiments mainly small troops arrived by airships. These people were scattered to each gate of Yanjing City, but there were only more than a hundred people. What's more, they were all light. There were only a few mortars with insufficient shells as cover, and even machine guns were owed. How could they shoot down the thick Desheng Gate in the wall!

Did the Qing army go to bed?

Chen Ping turned over the newspaper and seemed to look for words that were purely a joke. After going over and over several times, he raised his head and looked at the telegram. Zhang Zuolin, who was also surprised, was still a little suspicious and confirmed it again.

"I have personally verified it twice, and I have also contacted the Nighthawk team active in that area. The reconnaissance company of the second division and the third regiment has indeed occupied Deshengmen. According to the report of Company commander Liu Dayin, they have now fully controlled the gates and towers and are building defensive positions, but it is almost dawning, and he is afraid of the Qing army. I can see the truth, so I hope the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible!" Zhang Zuolin nodded. In fact, he didn't believe that he could win Deshengmen so soon.

You should know that this action has been strictly calculated. The reason why Cixi Cixi attacked immediately after launching it is that considering that in order to calm down the turmoil in Yanjing as soon as possible, she will definitely transfer the most important Tongzhou battalion to Yanjing to prevent changes. In this way, there will be a vacuum in the outer forces of Yanjing City. It is convenient for the commandoes to carry out airborne troops.

And the previous intelligence also confirmed that Cixi did transfer the Tongzhou battalion back to Yanjing City, and immediately blocked nine gates. In addition, the guard army that defended Yanjing City was almost more than 10,000 Qing troops, covering Yanjing City tightly, so that he could turn over the market to seize power so quickly and beat the Weixin party. Do it.

But what did you hear now?

The reconnaissance company of the second division and the third regiment of more than 100 people occupied Deshengmen. Did the Qing army really go to bed?

Chen Ping took a deep breath. At this moment, it is not the time to consider why the Qing army will collapse at a touch, because Liu Dayin is right and must support Deshengmen as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Qing army finds that there are only a hundred people stationed there after dawn, they will definitely launch a counterattack. In case they run away from somewhere, it will be a sin. But it's big!

"Immediately contact all the airships that can be contacted, cancel the original method of scattered support, transport all the people outside Deshengmen, and tell Liu Dayin that from now on, Deshengmen is under his command. No matter what method is used, we must protect the control of Deshengmen!"

"In addition." Chen Ping was afraid that the order was not firm enough, so he bit his teeth and said, "Tay it to him and guard Deshengmen. I'll ask them for credit! If he can't keep it, he will take his head to see the young master!"

"Yes!"

When Zhang Zuolin left, Chen Ping was still in a trance. After grabbing the telegram and looking at it again, he asked where Li Mo was before he got on the car specially arranged for him and drove to the port area.

On the wharf in the port area, Master Li did not know that Yanjing City had opened its door. He stared straight at a huge sea ship. When it slowly leaned on the wharf, he was about to jump up excitedly. Du Dazhuang behind him couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the situation. He didn't understand what was on the ship that could make the young master even the current Regardless of the war situation, I insisted on coming here.

When the soldiers tied the cable tightly to the iron pier, the seemingly strange ocean-going cargo ship approached the hull on the side of the dock and suddenly cracked a large hatch, like a hanging door of the fortress. With the help of the hinge, Du Dazhuang couldn't help this scene. He was secretly surprised that he had never seen such a strange ship.

Li Mo is more and more excited. In fact, this roller wheel is not in the true sense. It is only modified on a customized cargo ship in Italy. The internal space has not been fully utilized, and there is only one deck inside, unlike the roller wheels of later generations that can be divided into several layers.

However, it doesn't matter much. The roller wheels that are really designed according to standards and powered by coal-fired and steam turbines have been built in Taiwan, and it won't take long to own them.

But at this moment, he didn't come to see the ship, but what was loaded in it!

A sudden engine roar came from the cabin. In less than a moment, Li Mo and everyone saw that several cars twice the size of wild cats lined up to leave the cabin. One, two, and three large cars drove directly from the cabin and stopped in front of Li Mo, and then five brand-new cars drove out. After a while, a small team of wild cat armored cars had been formed, which made Du Dazhuang, who became the driver of Master Li's royal car more and more, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed up with Li Mo.

I finally got it out!

Looking at three cars about the same size as later minivans, Master Li's eyes were full of stars, especially when the big car door behind his buttocks was turned up by the soldiers, and he was even more excited.

"Young master, there's no mistake."

Seeing this, Tang Xiao, who was escorted with the ship, hurriedly ran over. When he saw Master Li in the corner of his eyes, he almost drooled, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud.

Du Dazhuang quickly looked at it and saw that the car was not only bigger than other cars, but also very different from the inside. The cab and the rear carriage were separated by partitions. The rear carriage was not only wide, but also equipped with several radios, as well as small tables and stools that could be folded.

"Young master, what kind of car is this?"

"Command car." After Li Mo answered Du Dazhuang, he took the lead in drilling out one of them. He looked around and felt it. Finally, he tried it on the soft stool and nodded with satisfaction.

Army command vehicle.

This is specially designed to match the steel torrent of Master Li's dream.

After the last time Incheon was in the limelight, the General Staff had seen the huge role of wildcat armored vehicles. The General Staff originally purchased some more, but because Li Mo felt that the engine was not mature and did not allow it.

But this defect has been solved recently. The new aluminum engine was finally broken through by the power laboratory and enhanced to 50 horsepower. You know, more than ten years later, the famous "little vagage" tank has only more than 100 horsepower, and the engine heart problem that has plagued for a long time has finally seen the dawn!

When the news of the preliminary results of the aluminum engine experiment reached Li Mo a few months ago, he not only saw the hope of forming armored forces in the future, but also greatly changed his idea. For the first time, he agreed that the two major automobile factories in Taiwan and Fengtian could sell the current nickel steel engines separately, instead of the previous one. The sample only sells the whole car.

In fact, as early as Li Mo came out of the new car, countries also began to imitate the road, and many of them have made breakthroughs. Many new car factories have emerged, and some people have made breakthroughs in engines. So after the aluminum engine saw the dawn, he also decisively canceled the binding. In terms of sale, the two major automobile factories began to dump a large number of nickel steel engines.

It is said to be dumping. In fact, it adopts the assembly line method, coupled with the production scale of nearly 30,000 units per year and low labor. Even if the price is several times lower than that of similar foreign counterparts, it can still achieve a high profit of about ten dollars per unit. It not only seizes all the market share at once, but also makes the orders have been ranked for several years. After that, he brought back millions of dollars a year for himself, which made the State Council very happy.

However, the military led by Chen Ping is a little worried about the diffusion of engine technology. However, with the weight of half, the power of the aluminum engine, which has almost doubled, is finally finalized. This concern has also dissipated, because Li Mo is very clear that the bulky straight-cylinder pure steel engine is also like this. Countries have not paid attention to aluminum. As long as the aluminum alloy technology is firmly under control, it will take a long way for others to break through. What's more, with the finalization of the new engine, the power laboratory has begun to study the V-shaped technology proposed by Master Li!

So it's better to take this opportunity to make more money.

As for whether other countries will also buy their own engines to equip armored vehicles similar to wild cats, Li Mo is not worried, because historically, Britain will also invest in armored cars in South Africa a year later, so there is no need to restrict old engines too much. What's more, after equipping new engines, wild cats are no longer what they used to be. It is only faster and can drive more than 150 kilometers continuously. It has initially equipped with the ability to deploy on a large scale.

However, to everyone's surprise, he did not immediately mass-produce wildcat armored vehicles. In fact, it was not that Li Mo did not want to, but limited by the current road conditions and opponents, and he did not need much at all, so he only approved the purchase of 30 Wildcat two-type wheeled armored vehicles, which made Tang Xiao set up a special transport truck. And this kind of command car similar to a van.

The three armored command vehicles in front of them are the products put into combat experiments for the first time.

However, after all, this is a test product, and the engine has not reached the level of anti-sky, so only a thin layer of armor is installed in important parts. Fortunately, they were not used to charge, so it is not too defective.

As soon as Chen Ping arrived at the dock, he was also shocked by the crowded convoy. After approaching, he saw that there were three command vehicles. Knowing some inside stories, he immediately became excited and praised Tang Xiao, who was smiling early.

"Huh? Yuanshou, why are you here? There is something wrong in front of you? After seeing Chen Ping, Li Mo thought he was in trouble and immediately pulled him into the carriage.

"Young master, the reconnaissance company of the second division and the third regiment has just occupied Deshengmen. At present, I have ordered to step up support. As long as I can keep it until dawn, the follow-up main force can arrive."

"So fast?"

After Chen Ping handed over the telegram, Li Mo also blinked his eyes and seemed to ask if it was a joke again. The shock in his heart even overshadowed the excitement of seeing the armored command vehicle for the first time.

You should know that Yanjing City these days is not as big as that of future generations. In addition, after the high walls of the city, if the Qing army is really determined to resist desperately, it is quite difficult to fight quickly, although later generations mocked the ability of the army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in addition, several people took a few guns in the Xinhai period in history. Things in a city are not uncommon, and they all think that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army is very poor.

But in fact, it was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly damaged by a series of things such as the Jiawu and the Eight-Nation Alliance of the Boxers. It had rotted to every cell and completely lost the hearts of the people's hearts. But at this moment, there was no Jiawu, and the Boxer Rebellion was estimated to be a tragedy. The Eight-Nation Alliance had no shadow, so even he did a good job. Preparation for the attack.

But who would have thought that only a hundred people took Deshengmen. What happened? When Li Mo saw the telegram's final description of several carriages and a large number of forbidden troops, he vaguely guessed something.

If the above is really Cixi or Guangxu, it can be explained. Maybe it was they randomly ordered to protect the driving with all their strength, which led to the loss of the city gate, but I'm afraid it's too late when they want to get it back!

Because Yanjing City has opened its doors to itself!

"Quick, fill up the oil, let's go to Yanjing!"

Master Li jumped his feet and patted the car body and shouted
