Chapter 001 Good gun!

Wenchester M1894, rod rifle, 11mm caliber, 1.1 meters long, weight 4.5 kg. The jujube stock, orange gun box and black barrel are all integrated, like a former princess who unfortunately fell into the grass in the drizzle in the morning.

"What a gun!"

Zhou Charter crawled in the wet grass, looked at Yao Xi under the pine tree in front of him, gritted his teeth and sighed hatefully.

Yao Xi holds a Winchester in his hand, while Zhou Charter holds a German 1988 committee rifle.

The 1988 committee rifle is a whole generation behind the Winchester M1894!

The performance of the most advanced Murata-style rifle of the Japanese army is far from that of the Winchester M1894.

The Winchester single-shot rifle is superior to the Murata rifle in terms of mechanical structure and gun body shape. Winchester single shot, Murata rifle single shot; Winchester 15 bullets, Murata 8 bullets; Winchester effective kill distance 800 meters, Murata effective kill distance 400 meters, only half of Winchester...

The only thing Murata can match with Winchester is that its length and weight are comparable to Winchester, both 1.1 meters and 4.5 kilograms. However, Murata is too simple. Together with the almost gorgeous Winchester, Murata is simply a fire stick!

Zhou Charter stared at Yao Xi's back, full of chagrin and frustration.

"No matter how good the gun is in the hands of a fool, it is a fire stick. No, it's better than a fire stick!" Zhou Charter sighed in his heart.

The whole battalion of 500 people, 500 guns, only one Winchester, fell into the hands of Yao Xi, a fool, no, in Yao Xi's arms!

Yao Xi hugged Winchester fiercely, like a stripped woman. What's more, the guy's buttocks were high and fluctuating from time to time, which made people suspect that he was looking for a feeling in Winchester's gun eye!

Yao Xi has just married a daughter-in-law, and it's time to stand it. But anyway, there is an essential difference between the barrel and the woman's body! This son of a bitch Yao Xi has reached the point of being hungry and unscrupulous!

Zhou Charter really doesn't understand why Shangguan gave the best gun to a fool!

Zhou Charter shook his head helplessly, avoiding Yao Xi's disgusting buttocks and glanced at the position. At this glance, he finally understood why Shangguan gave Winchester to a fool.

The reason is very simple. All the soldiers in the sentry are all idiots!

Twenty-four soldiers ambushed in Anchengdu, one by one from one to another!

Lai Chuanwu, with a beard, half leaned under the rock with a German musket in his arms. The guy grabbed a handful of clear nose and shook his hand and rubbed it on the butt of the musket. On the battlefield, the gun is your own life! This guy is so cheap that he is the number one fool!

The thin monkey-like Hu Wogua stayed on the bare high ground and was drenched by the rain. A bright British Schneider kept shaking in his chicken paw-like hand. Schneider's rifle also had a good gun. Unfortunately, it fell into Hu Wogua's hand and could only be used as a rolling pin.

The flag man Hawu squatted in the pit, carrying a French Caspburg serial rifle on his shoulder, and his teeth rattled. It's no wonder that he squatted like him and cramped without waiting to see the Japanese thighs. It is said that this guy was the eldest brother of Master Kangxi. After only a few generations, he degenerated into a brain-damaged man. It seems that this Qing Dynasty should come to an end.

......

The postures of 24 soldiers are strange, but there is no correct lying posture.

These 24 soldiers were ordered to ambush! According to Nahawu, it is to stumbling the Japanese.

Look at this situation, even if these guys are lucky enough to give the Japanese a hammer, the Japanese can bite hard in turn and tear off a large piece of belt meat!

Zhou Charter wiped the rain on his face and looked away from the 24 worried soldiers.

At the foot of the mountain, an unknown river flows silently in the drizzle. The river is 25 meters wide and there are steep cliffs on both sides. A small stone bridge on the river spans the north and south. The stone bridge is in disrepair, the bridge is dilapidated and the fence is incomplete. The bridge is so narrow that only two people can pass side by side.

After crossing the Yalu River, Zhou Charter has seen many such small mountain bridges. North Korea is mountainous, with mountain streams, and there are often small bridges across the mountain streams, hidden between green mountains and cypresses. If this scenery falls into the eyes of literati, it must be a wonderful landscape painting material. But in Zhou Charter's eyes, it represents tired horses, broken soldiers, unsustainable food and fodder and the ensuing hunger.

From a purely tactical point of view, this is a dominant ambush battle.

In terms of terrain, the 24 soldiers of Zhou Charter occupy the absolutely favorable ambush terrain, condescending, blocking the only way for the Japanese army - Anchengdu. If the Japanese want to reach the south bank of Ancheng, they can only attack the stone bridge. There is no shelter on the 25-long bridge, and the Japanese soldiers rushing up the stone bridge will become the target of the Qing army.

In terms of weapons, the rifles they hold in their hands, such as Winchester in the United States, Mauser in Germany, Schneider in the United Kingdom, and Kazburg in France, are superior to the Murata rifles of the Japanese army, enough to control the bridge 300 meters away.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Qing army ambushed on the spot and waited for work. The Japanese army rushed for a long time and was exhausted.

However, Zhou Charter is completely uncertain.

Zhou Charter occupies the advantage of time and place and weapons, but he does not have a qualified soldier.

The training army is the national regular army, with the highest military service and the best weapons, but their training level is not as good as that of the villagers.

What's more exaggerated is that 60% of the soldiers of this army, like Yao Xi, who holds Winchester and wants his wife, were recruited just before going abroad. Even many people are not recruited, but captured!

The unspoken rule of the Qing army is that the camp was empty and full of *. In fact, there were only two or three hundred people. Under the order of the court, they were going to fight. Only then did the officials panic, piece together, cheated, and used all kinds of tricks, and finally came together a decent army.

Nahawu is a veteran, but this guy doesn't even know the basics of kneeling shooting. God knows where the bullets will fly!

In such a major overseas combat operation, the Qing Dynasty actually sent such an army!

Such an army can't even win the bandits with spears and knives. How can they fight against the Japanese? Although the performance of the Murata rifle installed by the Japanese is not as good as that of Winchester, it must also be a serious rifle!

What's worse, the morale of these soldiers is extremely low. North Korea has almost no official Taoism. It has been almost two months since it entered North Korea, climbing mountains endlessly every day. This army, which was originally composed of a group of idiots, has already been exhausted by the continuous mountains and rapid rivers.

Such soldiers can't see blood, and a star of blood can completely disintegrate their remaining courage. At that time, it depends on who can run over the rabbit.

Zhou Charter did not expect this group of soldiers to stop the Japanese and set up an ambush in Ancheng. It was just a fire reconnaissance. It was best to take advantage of it. If they could not take advantage of it, they would not force it. They would run away after fighting to avoid casualties and shaking morale.

The key battle is in Chenghuan, where the Qing army has built a strong fortress, equipped with Gatling cannons and strong firepower.

It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do. It is required to cooperate with the front and back, retreat step by step, cover and retreat alternately. If a swarm of bees scatters and runs away, everyone will become a live target for the Japanese.

Therefore, Zhou Charter does not require these 24 soldiers to have a standardized lying posture, standardized shooting posture, reasonable individual tactics and free soldier cooperation. These simple individual tactics are too demanding for these mob.

Zhou Charter only requires them to do one thing: all actions are under command! You can't speak without an order, you can't shoot a gun without an order, you can't run without an order, you can't poop and pee without an order!

However, Zhou Charter is worried that they may not be able to do even this.

There was a rustling behind him, and Zhou Charter was very angry. He didn't know which guy with a long memory dared to leave his office without permission.

A small soldier climbed behind Zhou Charter and said in a low voice, "Master, it has been arranged. There is no return to discipline little Japan!"

Zhou Charter abruptly suppressed his anger back.

The little man's name is Zhao Xiaoman. He has just turned 15 years old. When he was training in the army and crossing the Yalu River, the government assigned miscellaneous servants to carry the laver and asked each household to pay a piece. Zhao Xiaoman's family of three people, sister, mother and himself, had no choice but to fill the underage Zhao Xiaoman and became a porter, carrying grain and ammunition to accompany the brigade. After crossing the Yalu River.

As soon as the team crossed the river and arrived in a foreign country, its morale was getting worse day by day. There were more and more deserters. In addition, some sentries were reduced by 30%, which was not decent. Admiral Ye Zhichao actually ordered to recruit footmen to fill the combat team. In this way, Zhao Xiaoman dragged a musket about the same height as him and inexplicably became a regular soldier.

The Qing army did not lack guns, but people.

Zhou Charter can't reprimand a 15-year-old child, even if he is wearing the uniform of the Qing army.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoman is a little brainy among these 24 soldiers.

Zhou Charter gave Zhao Xiaoman the task of ambush on the upper reaches of Anchengdu. This task is the key to the success or failure of this operation. Zhou Charter dares not give such a critical task to Yao Xi, Nahawu or other fools.

"Go back to your position!" Zhou Charter said in a strong anger.

"Master, I want to pee." Zhao Xiaoman said solemnly.

"Hear back!"

"I can't hold it!"

Zhou Charter can't stand it: "Climb back to your position and pull up!"

"Hit!" Zhao Xiaoman answered and climbed hard. The boy also climbed very fast. In the blink of an eye, he climbed out seven or eight meters and was about to disappear into the woods. Zhou Charter hurriedly shouted, "Zhao Xiaoman!"

"The end will be!" Zhao Xiaoman has never been a soldier. He doesn't know that the last general on the stage is either a general or an admiral. His small soldier dares to call himself the last general. If the battalion officer knows this, his head will move.

"Remember, don't shoot!"

"What if they shoot?"

Zhao Xiaoman only saw the war on the stage. When he arrived at the barracks, he could only understand the play. Zhou Charter had to issue an order with the words on the stage: "You can't shoot, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

"Hit!"

"Get out!"

Zhao Xiaoman disappeared into the bushes.

Zhou Charter sighed gently. Zhao Xiaoman is not a soldier. He is still a child. Once he shoots, he can't hit the enemy. Instead, he will attract the accurate shooting of the Japanese army, and his life is difficult to be saved.

Zhou Charter only hopes that the war will end early and that Zhao Xiaoman can be returned to his hometown intact and handed over to his mother and sister.

However, this hope is very slim.

Because Zhou Charter knows that the Qing Dynasty will be defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War!

The Qing army will pay a heavy price! Many people will stay in the mountains of North Korea and never return to their homeland!
