Chapter 238: The Attack (II)
In fact, the exchange of fire between the two sides was not long, less than 10 minutes before and after, but the other side was completely overwhelmed by the KPA, and 7 or 8 people were shot, killed or wounded.
The other side did not expect the firepower of the People's Army to be so strong, and at this time, they dared to hold on any longer, and immediately retreated, and on the way to retreat, they were killed by the People's Army 3 or 4 people.
On the KPA side, there was not a single casualty, not even the wounded, because the other side was suppressed by the KPA just now and had almost no power to fight back. However, Luo Yuedao did not chase hard, but just ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and check the items left behind by the other party.
Luo Yue himself returned to the hill and told Lu Fushan about the battle just now, and several people in the geological team were relieved when they heard it, and at the same time, they all thanked Luo Yue repeatedly.
After a polite gesture, Luo Yue said: "Although this group of people has been defeated by us, they may re-recruit people and make a comeback, if you still want to continue to survey, I will send people back to transfer troops and strengthen the vigilance in this area, and if you are not so anxious to survey, then it is best to wait for a few days and see the situation." ”
Lu Fushan thought about it for a while, and then looked at the other members of the group, they all looked a little unsettled, and to be honest, even Lu Fushan was quite scared at this time, so Lu Fushan said: "Battalion Commander Luo, I think so, tomorrow we will leave here and head south, first to investigate other areas of Jiaozhou Bay, it will take about 4 or 5 days, and then come back here, see the situation here and then do the plan." ”
Luo Yue nodded, Lu Fushan's arrangement is indeed the most appropriate, because after 4 or 5 days, there will be a result of the situation here. So he said, "Okay, then arrange it like this, and I'll send someone to send you to Redstone Cliff Town early tomorrow morning." ”
Lu Fushan thanked Luo Yue again, and immediately went over to greet the other four, packed up their things, and prepared to go back.
By this time, the battlefield had been cleaned, and a total of 12 people were killed in this battle, and 2 people were also captured, and it turned out that these two men were seriously wounded, so they were abandoned by their companions, and as a result, they became prisoners of the People's Army. In addition, 15 rifles used by the opposing party were recovered.
When I got the other party's rifle, it turned out to be a German Mauser Model 1871 rifle. This type of rifle is famous, it is the pioneering work of the Mauser rifle, and it became famous for its outstanding performance in the Franco-Prussian War, so after the Franco-Prussian War, it became the standard rifle of the German army. However, the Mauser Model 1871 rifle was a single-shot rifle, and later the Mauser brothers improved on this type of rifle by adding a magazine under the barrel, so it was improved into a repeating rifle, which was assembled with the German army in 1884 and named the Mauser Model 1871/84 rifle.
The service life of a large number of Mauser 1871 rifles assembled by the German army was less than 10 years, so Germany sold a large number of Mauser 1871 rifles to Asian, African and Latin American countries, and the Qing court purchased a large number of Mauser 1871 rifles. Around 1890, the Qing court also began to replace the repeating rifles, so the Mauser 1871 rifle that had been assembled before was also phased out, transferred to the local armed forces, or bought to local powerful forces, and even some fell into the hands of local bandits.
But this type of rifle is basically only a collection value for the current traverser, after all, all the rifles of the traverser are repeating rifles now, so Luo Yue just ordered the soldiers to treat the wounded immediately and bury the dead, while he came to Li Zhuangyong and others who were protected by the People's Army.
After the battle ended, Li Zhuangyong and others were monitored, and Jiang Haidong kept under their command and told them about his participation in the People's Army and a series of achievements of the People's Army. Although Jiang Haidong has not joined the People's Army for a long time, he has witnessed the defeat of the German army by the People's Army, and the military discipline and style of the People's Army are completely different from those of the Qing Army. And now that I see the brothers who used to make trouble with the Boxers, I naturally hope to pull them all into the People's Army.
Li Zhuangyong and others heard some rumors about overseas Chinese, but these rumors are mixed between true and false, and they are too bizarre, Li Zhuangyong and others do not care about this, so no one paid attention to it, but they did not expect to meet the army of overseas Chinese here, although Li Zhuangyong has not seen the battle between overseas Chinese and Germans, but the battle just now happened in front of him, the People's Army just these dozen people, actually chased after more than 20 people to defeat miserably, at least the previous Boxers did not have such a strong combat effectiveness.
At this time, Luo Yue came over, and Jiang Haidong hurriedly introduced to them, saying, "This is our battalion commander, call it Battalion Commander Luo, or Captain Luo." ”
When Li Zhuangyong heard this, he knelt down in front of Luo Yue with a "bang", and said: "Battalion Commander Luo, your brothers saved their lives, and you don't thank you for your great kindness, as long as Battalion Commander Luo has something to send in the future, I, Big Man Li, will definitely frown." ”
Luo Yue helped them up and said, "Hurry up, we don't want to do this here." ”
Jiang Haidong also said on the side: "Yes, Brother Li, get up quickly, I didn't tell you just now, in our People's Army, we have never knelt down, just salute when we see the chief." ”
When Li Zhuangyong stood up, Luo Yue asked again: "What happened just now, who are they, why are they chasing you, please tell me in detail." ”
Jiang Haidong hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you just tell Camp Commander Luo honestly." ”
It turned out that Li Zhuangyong's Boxer qualifications were older than Jiang Haidong, he was a native of Linqing, Shandong, and was the younger brother of Zhao Sanduo, one of the earliest founders of the Boxers. Zhao Sanduo was originally the head of Shandong Plum Blossom Boxing, because of his participation in the Liyuantun teaching case, Zhao Sanduo was worried about the teacher, so he led a group of younger brothers, got rid of Plum Blossom Boxing, and created Yihe Boxing, and Li Zhuangyong followed Zhao Sanduo at that time, ranking seventh among Zhao Sanduo's younger brothers. Later, Zhao Sanduoguang accepted his younger brothers, and later changed the Yihequan to the Boxer Tuan (another theory is that the governor of Shandong, Yumin, ordered the change of Yihequan to the Boxer).
And Li Zhuangyong is a disciple of Zhao Sanduo, known as the Seventh Senior Brother, because he is tall and big, and has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, so he is nicknamed Li Da Man. When Zhu Honglan confronted the officers and soldiers in Pingyuan County, Zhao Sanduo sent Li Zhuangyong to lead more than 200 regiments to support, so he met Jiang Haidong. Later, the various departments of the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong echoed each other and had many contacts with each other.
Later, after Yuan Shikai became the governor of Shandong, he suppressed the Boxers with all his might, and successively arrested and killed many leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, which caused the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong to fall into a low ebb, and some of the remnants of the Boxers fled back to their hometowns, while others went to Hebei for activities. Li Zhuangyong accompanied Zhao Sanduo to lead a group of regiments to enter Hebei activities, Zhao Sanduo developed in the south of Hebei, and ordered Li Zhuangyong to go north and partner with Zhang Decheng, who was known as the first regiment in the world at that time.
In June 1900, Li Zhuangyong entered Beijing with Zhang Decheng, because he was also an old man of the Boxers, so he was quite used by Zhang Decheng and asked him to pay a jar.
In the period of May and July 1900, it was the peak period of the Boxer Rebellion, and the head of the regiment was even summoned by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Ordinary people can run rampant on the streets of Beijing, the princes and nobles are respectful to them, and Li Zhuangyong, as a senior brother of the altar, also spent the most beautiful time of his life. However, the good times did not last long, in July 1900, Li Zhuangyong participated in the Battle of Tianjin with Zhang Decheng, but the Boxers were defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Tianjin was lost. Li Zhuangyong escaped from the battlefield and fled to Zaoqiang County to join Zhao Sanduo.
The situation in Hebei was not good in front of Zhao Sanduo, so he wanted to turn back to Shandong for development, so he sent Li Zhuangyong to go back to Shandong first to recruit the remaining people. However, after Li Zhuangyong returned to Shandong, he found that the situation had changed, because Yuan Shikai adopted a high-pressure policy towards the Boxers, almost did not give the Boxers room for development, and the drought in Shandong had been greatly eased, and the people were determined, so Li Zhuangyong did not dare to operate near Jinan, which was controlled by the Qing court, and came to the Jiaoao area far away from Jili to develop the group, but although Li Zhuangyong ran for two or three months, he only recruited 5, 600 people, the previous era of universal response, no longer exists, including many old brothers in the past, do not want to come out to make trouble.
Seeing that the development in Shandong was unfavorable, Li Zhuangyong was also very anxious, so he decided to do a few big things in order to inspire people, and once strengthened his own tricks, so Li Zhuangyong aimed at Wang Jiasai. Because Wangjiazhai is quite famous in this area, and what is more important is that Wangjiazhai's family has a great business and a lot of storage, and if you take Wangjiazhai, you can get a large amount of food and money to attract more people to join the Boxers.
So just last night, Li Zhuangyong tangled more than 600 people and launched an attack on Wangjiazhai, which knew that Wangjiazhai was well guarded, not only built a wall, but also trained a group of villagers, including a musket team.
As a result, Li Zhuangyong led the Boxers, who only had cold weapons, to launch a strong attack on Wangjiazhai Lianji, but they were met with head-on attacks by the musket team, and each attack ended in vain, and the Boxers suffered heavy losses. Originally, the momentum of this group of Boxers was not very high, and Bi Jing's current Boxers were actually rebelling, so after a long time of attack, the Boxers were even more discouraged, and by the early hours of the morning, they were already exhausted, and even Li Zhuangyong couldn't call it out.
Seeing this, the people in Wangjiazhai immediately took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack against the Boxers, defeating Li Zhuangyong's Boxers. Li Zhuangyong led a group of people, chased by the villagers of Wangjiazhai, and fled to Yinghai Town, if it was not for the People's Army, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape. But that's it, now there are only 14 people left around Li Zhuangyong.
