Chapter 562: Night Attack (3)
In fact, when the helicopter and the warrior car attack the two ace killers, the outcome of this battle is basically no suspense, after all, in this era, these two weapons are basically invincible. Of course, from another point of view, if there are no two trump cards, then it is really difficult to say what the outcome of this battle will be. This does not mean that without helicopters and warrior vehicles, the KPA will definitely be defeated, but it is certain that even if the KPA can finally win, it will inevitably pay a very heavy price.
Now that the victory is in hand, the next step is to find out the situation of the enemy army, after all, to be able to have such a large number of rifles, artillery and other standard weapons, is definitely not the ordinary landlord armed can be equipped, so it is necessary to figure out who their own enemy is, can not win in confusion, and this needs to catch more prisoners, in order to ask more from the mouth of the prisoner to ask more things needed.
After giving the order for a full-scale counterattack, Liu Qinglin gave another order, allowing the traversers, local staff, and medical personnel to come out of the house to rescue the wounded in the village, maintain order, and comfort the villagers. Because although the enemy shelling did not last long, it still caused a lot of damage to the village, many rooms were hit, and some houses were already burning, and caused some casualties among the villagers, and also caused some panic.
In fact, in the battle, even the Liu family's house could not be spared, a total of 9 shells, of which 5 shells hit the courtyard wall, two shells fell in the courtyard, and two shells penetrated the roof and fell into the house, fortunately, they were all empty houses, so although the fragments of the explosion caused some traversers and local staff to be injured, they were not life-threatening. However, there were some casualties among KPA fighters. Of course, the detailed losses still have to be counted in detail, and now that the battle situation has been decided, it is natural to clean up the mess as soon as possible and restore order in the village, so as not to let the chaos spread any further.
After the garrisons of the other three villages attacked, the enemy troops who feinted were not opponents at all, and they were beaten and fled in confusion as soon as they came into contact, and they were almost crushed. And this whole battle only lasted for more than an hour before it was basically over, and it entered the stage of containing prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. In fact, except for the upper village, the other three villages did not suffer any blows, and the villagers were only a little frightened, and now that the battle is over, they are all relieved, so some brave people have also opened the doors and come out to see the excitement.
And Wang Sheng also ordered to organize the villagers to come out and assist the People's Army to clean up the battlefield together. Yong Gaojun led the female crossers, local staff and medical personnel to treat the wounded, not only his own people, villagers, but also injured prisoners.
Just when Wang Sheng and the others were busy directing the staff to clean up the mess, a soldier came to Wang Sheng and said, "Director Wang, our battalion commander invites you to come over, just outside the village." ”
Wang Sheng nodded, knowing that Liu Qinglin must have something important to find him at this time, so he immediately found Gao Jun and asked her to take charge of the finishing and aftermath of the village instead of her, and then followed the soldier to the outside of the village. This is a large open space, with the lights of the two warrior cars fully turned on, and there are also several large fires, which illuminate the area within a radius of about 100 meters. The captives captured in this battle sat down around the fires, and several warriors were guarded by them with guns. On the other side, the corpses of dead enemy soldiers are placed.
Seeing Liu Qinglin, Wang Sheng said, "Battalion Commander Liu, what is the matter with me?"
Liu Qinglin pointed to a fire and said, "Director Wang, look at this group of prisoners." Then he said to the warriors guarding the captives: "Pull one to his feet." ”
The warrior reached out and grabbed the braid of a captive and snapped: "Get up, stand up." ”
The prisoner stood up crookedly, and Wang Sheng saw clearly that the prisoner was wearing a gray-blue military uniform, with lapels, a twisted button in the middle row, slim narrow sleeves, a wide belt at the waist, and high leather boots on his feet, which was completely a military uniform of a modern army, but judging from his appearance and the long braid on the back of his head, this is definitely a Chinese of this era.
It has been almost 1 year since I came to this time and space, and Wang Sheng, the army of the Qing court, has also seen some, which are basically similar to the styles in the old time and space film and television, which belong to the typical ancient costume style, so the clothing style of this captive also made Wang Sheng feel a little surprised, what kind of army is this.
At this time, Liu Qinglin took another rifle and handed it to Wang Sheng, saying, "This is the rifle they used in the seizure." ”
Wang Sheng took the gun in his hand and felt a little familiar, like a Hanyang-made Type 88 rifle equipped by the People's Army. Although Wang Sheng is not a military enthusiast, he often deals with the army, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is naturally very familiar with the main types of rifles currently used by the People's Army, so he hurriedly looked at the bolt, and sure enough, the words "made in Hanyang" were engraved. Wang Sheng knew that in addition to the People's Army, there was only the Qing Army equipped with Hanyang-made rifles, but when did the Qing Army become avant-garde and change into modern military uniforms.
Suddenly, Wang Sheng's mind flashed, he looked at Liu Qinglin, and said, "Is it the Beiyang New Army?"
Liu Qinglin nodded and said, "They themselves admit that it is the Beiyang New Army, and the artillery and artillery that attacked us are also from the Beiyang New Army." After a pause, he added: "The artillery is all produced by the Krupp company." ”
Wang Sheng couldn't help but be surprised, he had made up for the history and military knowledge of this era, and knew that the Beiyang New Army was a new army formed by the Qing government in order to strengthen the army strength after the First Sino-Japanese War, and then sent Yuan Shikai to supervise the training, and completely used the Western-style military system, training, clothing and equipment, all in accordance with the German-Japanese system, and hired Germans-based foreigners to teach and form a brand-new army. In addition to the rifle made in Hanyang Type 88, the artillery used is basically a product produced by the German Krupp company.
The establishment of the Beiyang New Army was the beginning of the modernization of the Chinese Army, and it was also a major event at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and its influence went far beyond the scope of the military, not only laying the foundation for Yuan Shikai to be the leader of the Beiyang warlords and to be able to call the wind and rain in the Chinese political arena in the future. In the next 2 to 30 years of the old time and space, it will have a huge impact on the development of Chinese history.
And more importantly, now that Yuan Shikai is serving as the governor of Shandong, the Beiyang New Army has all moved to Shandong with him, of course, mainly stationed in Jinan, just because the governor of Shandong is located in Jinan, and the Jiaoao area is already Germany's sphere of influence, Yuan Shikai naturally does not dare to station troops in this area, so up to now, the crossing group and the Beiyang New Army have not had direct contact.
However, this attack on Menbu Village actually involved the Beiyang New Army, so the situation is complicated. Wang Sheng looked at the soldiers of the Beiyang New Army sitting around the fire, there were about 30 people, and then looked at the left and right, there were more prisoners by each of the other fires than the Beiyang New Army, and their clothes were very different from those of the Beiyang New Army. Then he asked, "What about these people? Who are they?"
Liu Qinglin said: "I haven't had time to ask yet, but looking at their appearance, they don't look like the Beiyang New Army." After a pause, he said: "Because I saw that their military uniforms and weapons were different, I asked them, but I didn't have time to ask about other prisoners, but there are about hundreds of people in this kind of military uniform, plus the prisoners." ”
Wang Sheng listened, and he was a little unclear, he could only vaguely feel that there must be something in it, and if he wanted to know the details, he could only interrogate the prisoners, of course, it is understandable that Liu Qinglin has no time to interrogate the prisoners now, after all, the battle has just ended, Liu Qinglin has a lot of things to deal with, so naturally he has no time to interrogate the prisoners, but he saw that the clothing and weapons of the Beiyang New Army were too different, so he asked.
But Wang Sheng thought that he couldn't wait any longer, and the sooner he knew the details, the better, so he said: "Battalion Commander Liu, I want to interrogate the prisoners first, can you arrange it?"
Liu Qinglin thought for a while and said, "If it's here, it's okay." ”
Wang Sheng said: "It's okay here, but please ask Camp Commander Liu to arrange a few people to help me." ”
So Liu Qinglin pulled out a squad from his battalion guard platoon and was dispatched by Wang Sheng to interrogate the prisoners. And I take care of the other things.
By daybreak, the post-war clean-up was basically completed, and a total of 256 enemies were killed and 329 were taken prisoner, of which 71 were killed and 35 were taken prisoner. In addition, 67 Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles, 53 other home-made muskets, and more than 1,000 cold weapons such as knives and guns were seized. KPA lost 12 soldiers and 57 others were wounded, although none of them were seriously wounded. There were no casualties, only 12 were injured.
In the other three villages, there was no loss of houses and personnel, only the upper village suffered serious losses, a total of 23 houses were hit by shells, of which 7 houses were basically destroyed, and the remaining 16 houses were also damaged to varying degrees, another 26 people died in the shelling, 63 people were injured, 16 people were seriously injured and needed a long time to recover, and 5 people are still not in danger of escaping.
After cleaning up the losses in the village, Wang Sheng has not returned, so Gao Jun gathered all the villagers on behalf of the land reform staff and made a speech. The war waged by exploiting the peasants in order to perpetuate their rotten life is doomed to failure, because the mighty People's Army can completely crush the frenzied counterattack of the reactionary landlord clique against the Agrarian Reform Council, as the results of yesterday's battles have proved, so there is no need to be afraid. If the reactionary landlord clique dares to come again, an even more disastrous defeat awaits them.
He also thanked the villagers for their support and help to the People's Army, which also fully proved that as long as the army was united, all reactionary forces could be defeated. At the same time, Gao Jun expressed his condolences to the villagers who unfortunately died, and announced that the government would give compensation to the villagers who unfortunately died, and take care of their families, and at the same time must avenge them, let the reactionary landlords pay for their blood, and all the injured people will receive free medical treatment until they fully recover.
