Alchemy Greater China

However, at 4:13 p.m., more than 2000 people led by Xia Bo arrived in time from another direction, and it was only then that the temporary intention of the Dragon Scale Army officer was dispelled.

and many more……

"The first road, the commander Xia Bo, the soldiers are the first regiment and the fourth regiment, a total of 3100 people." How did it become more than 2000 people, is there a mistake?

Of course there was no mistake, think about it, Xia Bo and the others didn’t arrive until after four o’clock in the afternoon, even if they took another railway line, there wouldn’t be so many mistakes, naturally... they also encountered trouble!

Compared with John Gang, the trouble Xia Bo encountered at the beginning was much 'simpler and direct': unexpectedly, a group of people planned to repeat the old trick and blow up the train!

After all, Xia Bo is the teacher. Facing the bomb that could threaten the railroad tracks, the method he adopted is much more reliable than any "advanced physics shovel". He just slowed down the train and killed another [-] horses, no, It was twenty cavalrymen who opened the way on both sides of the railroad track, and they easily discovered the explosive package placed on a section of the railroad track, as well as the long fuse!

The explosive package was removed without any suspense, and several enemies who had overreached themselves were also shot dead. After checking their identities, they turned out to be the San Francisco police.

Alright, as expected of Mr. Master!

Just now John applauded, and asked in his heart: Then, my lord, the explosives are all dismantled, why do you still arrive so late?Woohoo, do you know how hard it is for me to wait for you?

Commander Xia Bo has a gloomy expression on his face, this question can only be answered by Eric, the head of the first regiment.

The thing is like this, although the explosive package was dismantled, and a few enemies with bad legs and feet were killed, but the driving speed of the soldiers on the first route was slowed down after all, and when the troops marched ten kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​San Francisco within.The rails are full of boulders!

There are sections!

Unless you get off the train and walk, you will have to remove these big rocks one by one. Master Xia Bo is a proud person, so naturally he would not do such hard work like being taken advantage of, so he just waved the flag.All soldiers...get out of the car!

The first and fourth regiments had the largest number of personnel in the 338e division. It took time to get off the car, and it took time to organize the equipment and luggage... By the time it was time to move forward, it was almost noon.

Compared with walking by railway, the speed is slower, but the safety factor is also greatly increased.

The railway line that Xia Bo took is much more prosperous than that of John Gang. There are no green hills and green waters, but there are houses and manors.So there is no need to worry about shameless sneak attacks.

However, this road has also deployed more bunkers and recalcitrant troops than that of John Gang. In the first two hours, Xia Bo's troops encountered 16 encounters of various sizes. The loss is not small, nearly twice that of the opponent!

Just John was surprised: When did the police in San Francisco become so powerful?Even the elite regiment of Master Lian.Also damaged like this?Ah, it's Ma Keqin again... Could it be?Is their Maxim heavy machine gun really free?Is it placed in bundles?It's too strong!

Eric quietly said to John Gang: San Francisco's troops are actually not many, and the opponent killed a hundred in battle, which is also a great consumption, but the bad thing is... After the battle, a group of people were rescued!

Just when John heard the words, Monk Zhanger was even more puzzled: Uh, who is it?

Eric said: It's those 'anti-earl' militants detained by the San Francisco city government!

hum.After checking the battlefield afterwards, we found out that at least [-]% of the more than one hundred people killed were these unscrupulous waste!

When the earl's soldiers abandoned the bunker and evacuated, these wastes rushed up crying.They said they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally our 338e division came to rescue them!

No wonder Eric was angry. These "useless prisoners" hid in the bunker before and manipulated the long-distance rifle with great enthusiasm, causing damage to the 338e division, but now they surrendered, but they all cried bitterly , portraying himself as having no choice but to shoot just now was really forced by the situation and he had to do it in order to save his life.

At that time, Master Xia Bo was also very angry. He really wanted to get rid of this group of "trash" with a number of around 338 on the spot. Unfortunately, there were still a few "war reporters" among this group of people. He greeted Division [-]e with a camera and a pennant, which made Commander Xia Bo soft-hearted for a moment, and put away the idea of ​​"killing prisoners".

However, just because of Xia Bo's soft heart, something bad happened!

Just John was curious: It’s a good thing not to kill prisoners. This is San Francisco, so many eyes are staring at us. The 338e Division can’t cover the sky with one hand. As long as the Earl soldiers who ran back report a random report, the “anti-Earl” camp will feel bad for us. , maybe they will turn against each other and throw themselves into the arms of the Earl of Beihai!It is right not to kill!

Right what?

Eric sighed: The bad thing is that after these wastes survived, they actually encouraged us to attack a manor. According to them, Major General Miller of the military department was imprisoned there!

Just now John gasped: Major General Miller?Didn't I hear that he was captured by the Earl of Beihai?Damn, he didn't die!

Eric continued to sigh: If you die, you will be quiet, hey...

Instigated by these useless captives from the anti-earl camp, Xia Bo had no choice but to go to the manor. After a fierce battle, he defeated the defenders and rescued Major General Miller from the cellar.

Major General Miller was very haggard when he was rescued, but he immediately told Mr. Xia Bo a shocking news: He knew that the Earl of Beihai was not in the downtown area of ​​San Francisco, but was hiding somewhere on the outskirts of the city!

After Xia Bo heard this, his spirits lifted. Of course, he hoped that Miller would tell the address, and then the army would rush to kill him and capture the first target, the Earl of Beihai!

However, Major General Miller is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His military rank and position are higher than that of Commander Xia Bo, so instead of saying anything, he asked Commander Xia Bo to give him part of the cavalry to capture the Earl of Beihai.

Xia Bo was annoyed at this almost unreasonable request of 'grabbing credit', but it was hard to refuse!

Because according to the first order issued by the military department, the 338e division went to San Francisco, in principle, to accept the command of Major General Miller, and now the other party only asks for part of the military power, and.With several reporters from the "San Francisco Chronicle" watching curiously, Xia Bo really couldn't find any suitable reason to refuse for a while!

After thinking for a while, Xia Bo gritted his teeth, and divided more than 600 people from the fourth regiment, mixed with cavalry and infantry, and handed them over to Miller.at his command.

Hearing this, John suddenly realized: feelings, the main reason for the sharp decrease in the number of troops on the first line, is this Major General Miller!

No wonder the teacher was furious when he came, as if his wife had stolen someone.

As John Gang had expected, after Commander Xia Bo reorganized the troops, he began to question John Gang: Aren't you a sharp knife?It's getting dark, why haven't you occupied San Francisco yet?besides.Where are your soldiers?How come there is only so little left?Also, I heard that you killed many civilians, but there are reporters here, let's see how you cover it up...

John just blushed when he questioned him, he had no excuses, so he had to tell the truth about the situation, there was no suspense, and what he got was another scolding from Xia Bo!

How did you become the leader of the fifth regiment?Do you still have brains?

Divide up and go to the woods to search for the enemy?

Do not march fast.Capture the city hall and arrest Stevenson and his gang.Controlling the mouthpiece of San Francisco...but looting houses here?

Have you been shot to death by the enemy?Serve it right, who told you to divide your troops into various streets?

Hmph, it seems that I made a big mistake in trusting you just John!

At 6 o'clock in the evening, John Gang had been temporarily dismissed as the head of the regiment. Commander Xia Bo gathered the remaining troops and had a simple dinner.Along the wide streets, head towards the seat of the city hall.

Arriving at the outer edge of the city hall, Commander Xia Bo was immediately taken aback by the densely packed fortifications: "Fuck me, what's going on!" ?

What is that circle of barbed wire?

What are the tall buildings on both sides?Black hole, cannon?

The windows of a building.What is the cold light?machine gun?

There are trenches outside the municipal building?More than ten rows?

And a pile of sandbags?Blocked a street?

Have they put down their defensive positions long ago, waiting for us to attack?

Is this still the city government?

Are you sure it's not the front line of the battlefield?

Commander Xia Bo quickly estimated that according to the unheard of defensive posture in front of him, if his troops attacked at night, the loss would definitely be not small!

The cavalry can't be used, the cannon can't measure the distance, the backlight is backlit at night, and the rifle soldiers line up to attack. Shooting against the enemy is completely a living target!

No, attacking at night is definitely the next strategy!

At this time, the personnel of the city government in the fortifications also came out to speak. They held large iron-clad speakers and strongly condemned the barbaric actions of the 338e Division. , and asked the 338e division to withdraw quickly, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk!

Accompanied by the words of the city government personnel, many journalists who are not afraid of death poured out of the fortifications. They rushed to the sandbags and took photos of the densely packed 338e division of thousands of people. Although it was night, Xia Bo believed that his heroic The figure must have been photographed!

Dry!

Commander Xia Bo's ears are immune to this kind of shouting, because he deeply understands his mission, which is to defeat the defenders in San Francisco with lightning speed, capture the city hall, capture the Earl of Beihai, fabricate charges, and force him to submit... Therefore, all verbal disputes are just floating clouds, and they can all be omitted!

Now he hates that John is so useless. If he had attacked here in the morning, these seemingly powerful fortifications must have not been completed so much!

However, the matter has come to this point, regret is useless, Commander Xia Bo calmly thought about it, and decided to wait for the second and third reinforcements from behind to arrive, and then launch a general attack on the perverted fortifications around the city hall at dawn tomorrow.

In addition, although Major General Miller was domineering, Xia Bo still placed some hopes in him, hoping that he could send the Earl of Beihai, the culprit, as soon as possible, so that the people in the city government would collapse and surrender without a fight!Hmph, my six hundred elite soldiers are more than enough to deal with this gang of mobs!

In this way, June [-]th was spent under the garrison of Xia Bo's troops. Moreover, they continued to occupy many civilian houses and used them for the night. can imagine...

Later generations of military historians who studied jmw all believed that the day on the 2000th was too critical, if John just did not divide his troops.Arrive earlier, if Xia Bo is determined to kill the rescued prisoners and put Major General Miller under house arrest, if Xia Bo uses the more than [-] people to launch a general attack on the San Francisco city government at night regardless of losses, then.The outcome of the Battle of the Mire in June will be very different!

However, there is no such thing as history. On the morning of June [-]th, Xia Bo, who hadn't slept all night, trembled with anger from the information he just got!

Paralyzed, the reinforcements from the second and third routes were dispatched half by Major General Miller, and went to encircle and suppress the Earl of Beihai!

No wonder they haven't arrived until now!

Commander Xia Bo was furious at the messenger soldier: "That's my soldier. My soldier! Why do you listen to that Miller? How about the regimental leaders, Bresson, Kushimi... Where are they now?"

The messenger trembled for a while: "Several regiments and regiment leaders are not as high-ranking as Major General Miller. They heard that they could capture the Earl of Beihai and make great achievements, so they went together!"

It was not until 2500 o'clock in the morning on June [-] that Ivandovsk and Franklin finally brought the remaining [-] people to Xia Bo.

However.It was this group of people, with a handful of wounded soldiers among them.After Xia Bo asked with a livid face, he learned that after Miller 'borrowed' half of their soldiers last night, until the early morning of this morning, the remaining troops encountered more than ten unknown attacks, with guns and cannons, There are powerful explosives... More than 100 people were lost in the end!

Xia Bo was furious.He lost his composure on the spot and yelled at Miller for his shameless act of usurping his military power. At the same time, he also yelled at Ivandovsk and Franklin's two confidantes, why didn't they stop Bresson and Giusimi?

The answers of the two confidants made Xia Bo speechless: I heard that capturing the Earl of Beihai is a great achievement, and he can be promoted.Both of them went to grab credit, and neither of us could persuade them.

This is not surprising, any army is not monolithic, there are always factional disputes, like Bresson and Jiu Simi, who are not on the same mind with Xia Bo, they are usually obedient, but when there is a big contribution to be made, how can they Will you remember Xia Bo?

What's more, even Ivan and other two confidantes don't know that Miller promised Bresson and Jiu Simi privately that as long as he is willing to "borrow troops" and capture the Earl of Beihai and his rest, he will help them Say a few words in front of the military chiefs, hey, who is the future commander of the 338e division is unknown, maybe Xia Bo, but why can't it be Bresson or Jiu Simi?

Although Xia Bo was angry, he had no choice but to rectify the team, demolish the houses, and let these more than 4000 people be stationed on the periphery of the city government's defensive circle. Extended and reinforced, the other end is impressively in the direction of the commercial seaport.

Although he saw it, Xia Bo didn't pay much attention to it, because his attention is all on Miller's movements now. Since the Earl of Beihai is [-]% likely not in the city hall, he is not in a hurry to chew on this. It seems dangerous. turtle shell!

Otherwise, the dead will count as their own, but the great credit falls on that damned Major General Miller!

Therefore, Xia Bo's troops spent one day in seven days waiting and demolition. Xia Bo ordered the soldiers to sweep the area of ​​San Francisco except the city hall, while waiting for Miller's information.

I have to say that although Major General Miller is suspected of stealing credit, instigating, and seizing power, he still did a good job of comforting Xia Bo. Every hour, there is a reporter who claims to be "Chronicle" Run back and bring back the latest report of Miller's search for the Earl of the North Sea' Devil's Lair outside San Francisco.

It looks like a live text broadcast of the battle situation...

"Master... We found an army of the earl. After the battle, we killed 12 people from the other side. We haven't found the whereabouts of the earl yet..."

"Teacher... We encountered an earl's team. After the battle, three people were captured, and the whereabouts of the earl were interrogated. It was 3 kilometers northwest of the suburb..."

"Master... We were attacked and exchanged fire with the Earl's army once. We found that the suspected Earl was wounded and fled. The direction is 13 kilometers northeast of the suburbs..."

"Teacher... 10 kilometers southwest of the suburbs..."

"...15 kilometers southeast..."

After watching the "real-time battle report" for a day, Xia Bo finally came to his senses: Major General Miller took my soldiers to walk the dog outside San Francisco?Northwest, Northeast... They have all turned around, how did you tm chase after people?You can't even chase people, no wonder you are a well-known old bachelor in the military department, destined to be lonely all your life!

Awakening is awakening, but the time has come to June 6th. At the same time, the abnormal defense circle of the city government has also advanced a lot, a lot in the direction of the port in one day...

Can't wait any longer, Master Xia Bo regretted it in his heart, he already understood: that guy Miller is a big fool, he fooled half of his soldiers away, and he is still running around in the suburbs of San Francisco, probably because there is no hope !In order to complete the mission of the military department as soon as possible, a general offensive must be launched today!

At 6 a.m. on June 8, Xia Bo organized his elite troops into five echelons, preparing to besiege the city government from three directions, in order to launch his first decent attack after entering San Francisco!

But when it was ready, at about 10:20, a group of people came out of the San Francisco train station and ordered the soldiers guarding the station to take them to see Xia Bo.

This group of people is not small, Mr. Xia Bo saw that one head turned into three big ones: they are representatives of the observation mission sent by ambassadors from various countries, including Britain, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, etc., a total of more than 50 people , They traveled day and night, and finally arrived in San Francisco today.
