Chapter 19: Taking over Jinan (12)
Because there are no entertainment activities in this era, as long as there is something, it will immediately spread all over the city, so in the past two days, the continuous occurrence of An Luotang smashing shops and fighting with overseas Chinese has already spread throughout Jinan City at this time, and everyone knows that An Luotang is going to do it with overseas Chinese.
Judging from the results this morning, it is obvious that An Luo Tang has the upper hand, because An Luo Tang finally smashed two shops protected by overseas Chinese, but the overseas Chinese ordered in the afternoon to arrest the rioters, and declared martial law in the whole city of Jinan, all city gates were closed, no entry and exit were stopped, and it was strictly forbidden to go out at night. Obviously, they will not give up, so the atmosphere in the entire Jinan city suddenly became tense, and many people were worried, this time overseas Chinese and An Luotang were afraid that there would be a big fight, but I don't know how many innocent people will be affected this time. In today's daytime fighting, I heard that several unequal shops were also killed, so many people even strengthened their doors and windows overnight to prevent accidents.
Of course, not everyone is worried and afraid, and many people think that overseas Chinese are just pretending to be posturing, and they can't do anything about An Luotang at all, and in the end they can only stop it. There are even some people who think that if they offend An Luotang, overseas Chinese will definitely not be able to stay in Jinan.
The day passed in such a tense atmosphere, and the next day, before it was full of light, some residents who woke up early heard a series of dense and heavy footsteps coming from the street, and some people looked out through the cracks in the doors and windows, only to see that the streets were full of overseas Chinese troops and policemen, coming and going, some going out of the city, and some in the direction of the main hall entrance of Anluo Hall.
Luo Yue led a battalion of troops to the front of An Luo Hall, although the sky was not completely bright at this time, but he could still see the whole picture of An Luo Hall. Luo Yue tried his best to match the situation he saw with the map he had studied yesterday.
Anluo Hall is a rectangular building, the front width is about 80 meters, and the depth is about 180 meters, the front and back are facing the street, each has a gate, the door panel is made of thick wood, holding copper nails, there are two stone lions on the left and right, the door is closed at this time. On the left and right are two small side alleys, each with two small side doors. The interior has three floors, but the layout of the castle is not clear, but this does not affect the outcome of the battle.
The first battalion of the first regiment is the trump card unit of the entire People's Army, dealing with this kind of local gang, and it is also an opponent who uses cold weapons, even if only three combat companies are dispatched, and no firepower reinforcement company is dispatched, it should be captured without much effort, but Luo Yue still made very full preparations, after all, this battle is not only to win, but also to win beautifully, so Luo Yue's goal for this battle is logical: not only can the battalion itself not have casualties, but also try not to let go of a member of An Luotang, this is not an easy thing。
Luo Yue's tactical plan was to arrange a company of troops and a police squadron to cooperate with each of the front and rear gates as the main direction of attack; in the left and right side alleys, arrange a platoon and a police squadron, but the responsibility was not to attack, but to hold the two side alleys in case anyone escaped from here; and the remaining platoon and Luo Yue's guard platoon were used as mobile forces to prevent accidents.
It didn't take long for all the troops to be in place, and the height of the courtyard wall of Anluo Hall was more than 3 meters, but at this time, the courtyard wall was very quiet inside and outside, and it seemed that there was no preparation at all, and some soldiers climbed the big tree next to the courtyard wall to look into the courtyard, and they did not see anyone in the courtyard to take precautions.
Seeing this, Luo Yue also hesitated slightly, and then ordered to attack over the wall, and also ordered to set up a guard on several trees near the courtyard wall. Originally, Luo Yue had prepared two sets of plans for entering and reforming, if An Luotang's people were fortified on the courtyard wall and were ready to fight, then they would use blasting tactics to blow up the courtyard wall and attack Anluo Hall, and if An Luotang was unprepared, they would use the tactics of jumping over the wall to attack and let the soldiers jump over the wall to enter the courtyard, and then open the gate to let other soldiers enter.
Although the overall quality of the People's Army is still far from the requirements of the crossing soldiers, it is still not a problem to climb over the courtyard wall more than 3 meters high. Moreover, the advantage of jumping over the wall is that the damage to the building is greatly reduced, after all, once the entire Anluo Hall is crossed, the house will definitely be taken over by the government, so it is better to destroy as little as possible.
It's just that An Luotang didn't prepare at all, which also made Luo Yue a little uncertain, so difficult that An Luotang really thought it was okay? But the current situation didn't allow Luo Yue to think too much, so he finally decided to use the tactic of jumping over the wall to attack.
After the order was given, the soldiers immediately moved forward, a squad of soldiers divided into two groups, two soldiers stood opposite the wall, four hands clasped, the other soldiers after a distance of 6 or 7 meters, one foot on their hands, two soldiers together to throw up, the soldiers who jumped over the wall jumped up, reached out to the wall, and then took advantage of the momentum to close their arms, all of a sudden climbed the wall, and then jumped into the courtyard.
Immediately after landing, the soldiers crouched or lay down and guarded with guns in case anyone took advantage of the opportunity to attack. And in a short time, more than 10 soldiers fell into the courtyard, and only then someone in the courtyard shouted, "Who is it?" and then several people came out of the room with knives.
When the soldiers saw this, they immediately opened fire, killing two people at once, and while raising their guns to shoot, they moved in the direction of the gate, and two soldiers stepped on the steps of the gate, pulled off the door bar, pulled the bolt of the door, and opened the gate, while the other soldiers immediately rushed into the courtyard, and immediately the gunfire rang out.
In fact, Anluo Hall is not completely prepared. Just yesterday morning, after smashing two shops, Yan'an, the head of An Luo Tang, also felt a little uneasy in his heart. Because before this, Zhang Yanan only thought about smashing the two shops and getting An Luotang's face back, and didn't care about anything else, but after smashing the shops, Zhang Yanan began to think about the next step, and then Zhang Yanan realized that he had no bottom in his heart.
Although Zhang Yan'an is a member of the gang, after all, he is a person who has seen some major events, and he knows that after the overseas Chinese have suffered this loss, I am afraid that it will not be finished, although An Luotang did not take the government in his eyes before, but Zhang Yanan also knows that the overseas Chinese are different from the previous prefects, only as soon as they arrived in Jinan, they took a few old officials in the yamen to open the knife, and quickly rectified the official government in Jinan with iron-blooded means, and this was yesterday, the overseas Chinese officials dared to do something with An Luotang's people, which shows that this group of overseas Chinese is by no means easy to get along with。
What's more, even if he succeeded in smashing the shop today, he actually lost nearly 40 people, and when Zhang Yanan and other gangs fought for territory in the past, if there was a loss of 40 people, it must have been a fairly large-scale battle. And to pay such a big price, but only to destroy two small shops, this must be more than worth the loss. Moreover, up to now, overseas Chinese are only dispatched as service personnel, and Zhang Yanan knows that overseas Chinese have troops in the city. It's just that in front of other sect masters and disciples, Zhang Yanan still has to act like he can't pay overseas Chinese for a while.
And in the afternoon, Wang Sheng announced martial law in the whole city, although he did not mention the name of An Luotang, but Zhang Yanan understood that this was the targeted An Luotang, and he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy, thinking about how overseas Chinese would deal with him, would it be difficult to send troops to Tangkou to arrest him? However, there are more than 3,000 brothers in Jinan City, and if all of them make trouble, it will be enough to turn the entire Jinan City overturned, plus the brothers and tenant farmers outside the city, if they all make trouble, overseas Chinese will not want to settle down in Jinan, and overseas Chinese will not fail to think of this. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan'an also felt a little bottom in his heart, and he was a little more stable.
So Zhang Yan'an also thought that it was necessary to discuss with other people again, what should we do next? An Luotang and others, this force is definitely not to be underestimated, but just prohibiting the registration of shops is obviously not enough, at least it should make a bigger fuss, that group of people is still too timid, if they want to fight down the overseas Chinese, it is not possible to make a big move. However, now the overseas Chinese have ordered a night blackout, so we will wait until tomorrow.
However, despite having the bottom in his heart, Zhang Yanan did not dare to be careless, and during the night rest, Zhang Yanan also specially arranged some disciples to keep vigil in front and back, left and right, in case overseas Chinese had any plans. As a result, the disciples who kept vigil all night, and by the time dawn they were already sleepy, so they all fell asleep, until the People's Army jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard, and they were not alarmed.
Seeing that the overseas Chinese army opened the gate and rushed into the courtyard, a few disciples who were keeping vigil were hot-headed and wanted to rush into a big fight, but they were beaten back by a burst of shooting from overseas Chinese, and the others did not dare to act rashly, they all hid in the courtyard and did not dare to come out, and at the same time hurried to report to Zhang Yan'an.
At this time, Zhang Yan'an was still asleep, and was woken up by his disciples, and learned that the overseas Chinese had attacked the entrance of the hall, and he also heard the gunshots before and after, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
And thinking of this, Zhang Yan'an's heart couldn't help but sink, he was a person who had seen the world, and he knew that the power of the gang could deal with ordinary errand soldiers, but if he wanted to confront the regular army, it was still far from it, so it seemed that An Luotang was probably dangerous today, but while thinking about it, Zhang Yanan hurriedly dressed and got up, and ordered his disciples to hurry up and inform the others, get up quickly, and receive weapons to resist the attack of overseas Chinese.
After all, Zhang Yanan is a person who has been in the gang for decades, and he has also seen swords and blood, blood and blood, so although he knows that the current situation is unfavorable, he still has to fight, and at this time, Zhang Yanan does not think that An Luotang is helpless.
