So Luo Yue pushed Wu Xuan away, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Folks, you don't have to be afraid, we are the People's Army, the Chinese army, and those who specialize in fighting foreigners and the Eight-Nation Alliance will never bully you like the Eight-Nation Alliance, so don't worry." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After these few words were spoken, the crowd who had a numb look just now suddenly had some twitching, and many people's faces finally changed, and there was some relief in their eyes.

Luo Yue saw it and knew that these words had a role, so he said: "The Eight-Nation Alliance in Tianjin, Weihaiwei, and Qingdao have all been wiped out by us, and now we are going to attack Beijing and eliminate the Eight-Nation Alliance in Beijing, so you don't have to worry, we will let you go back in a few days." ”

There were some exclamations from the crowd, but most of them still had half-believing expressions on their faces, but it was much better than the insensitive, walking corpse look just now.

Luo Yue turned to the guards and said: "It seems that they have never eaten a full meal, first boil some porridge for them, and get some bacon and bacon, let them eat, and give each of them a cotton coat." ”

After Luo Yue finished speaking, some people in the crowd were already sobbing, at first it was just one or two people, and then it gradually spread, most of them couldn't help crying, of course, there were still many people who were still indifferent and indifferent. Luo Yue also knew that it was impossible to move everyone with just one or two sentences, so he could only take his time.

At this time, Wu Xuan jumped out again and said loudly: "What are you crying about, the chief is tolerant and benevolent, so he will give you a full meal, this is your great blessing, what are you crying about, add greasy taste to the leaders......"

Before he finished his words, Luo Yueji couldn't help it, pulled out Wu Xuan, and said, "Enough, I still have something to ask you?"

Wu Xuan hurriedly bent down again and said, "If the chief has anything to ask, the villain will tell you the truth." ”

Luo Yue said coldly: "During the period when you were helping the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese army, did you ever act as a tiger, aided in abuse, bullied the good, did you kill anyone, you have to explain it to the truth." ”

Wu Xuan's face changed greatly, and he said, "Villain...... Villain ......" I stammered for a while and couldn't answer.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "He is an accomplice of the Eight-Nation Alliance, don't let him go." Immediately, someone agreed: "Yes, he is the worst, helping the Eight-Nation Alliance and helping the Yue Army to bully people." ”

Wu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, and said continuously: "Wronged, wronged, chief, the villain is really wronged......."

But before he finished speaking, he was suppressed by everyone's condemnation, basically exposing Wu Xuan's assistance to the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese army to do evil. And Wu Xuan was so anxious that he only stomped his feet, suddenly jumped up, and roared loudly: "Your courage is not small, don't think that you can turn the sky over if you can give a few mouthfuls of food, beware that there is no good fruit for you to eat." ”

However, Wu Xuan didn't finish speaking, he only felt that he had received two heavy blows on his back, only to make him stumble forward two steps, and fell to the ground, and before he could get up, his hands and shoulders had been grabbed and twisted behind him, so that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up. It turned out that Luo Yue really couldn't look down on Wu Xuan's face, and ordered the guards to arrest Wu Xuan.

And this time, everyone didn't say anything for a while, just watched what was happening in front of them. Luo Yuecai said: "Folks, you don't have to be afraid, we won't wronged a good person, but we won't let go of a bad person, if he really helped the Eight-Nation Alliance to do bad things, we will never let him go." But the feast is said one by one, and the matter is clear. ”

Everyone hesitated for a while, and finally someone stood up to expose Wu Xuan's evil deeds, and with the first one, there was naturally a second one, and a few of them knew Wu Xuan's details.

It turned out that Wu Xuanben was an unemployed vagrant outside of Beijing's Chengxiao, who made a living by abducting and abducting people and helping idlemen, and had been baptized in a church, but in fact he wanted to rely on the power of foreigners to do evil, and later the church found that he was not religious at all, so he was removed from the church. During the Boxer Rebellion, Wu Xuan attracted the Boxers, burned down the church, killed more than ten priests and parishioners, and robbed a few pieces of church silverware. and mixed up with a small leader in the Boxer Rebellion, and played a prestige in Beijing for a few days. However, Wu Xuan had more eyes and did not destroy his baptism certificate

Later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, Wu Xuan took refuge in the Eight-Nation Coalition on the grounds that he had been baptized as a religious citizen, and presented his baptism certificate and a sterling silver cross that he had robbed. And led the Eight-Nation Coalition Army to destroy the two small halls of the Boxer Rebellion, and he was quite good at doing things, and he was a local, familiar with the situation in Beijing, so he was also quite used by the Eight-Nation Alliance, but Wu Xuan was also afraid that he had done the Boxer Rebellion incident would be exposed, so he didn't dare to be too public.

After the defeat in the Battle of Tianjin, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was stationed in Tongzhou, and Wu Xuan took the initiative to ask to come to Tongzhou to help, mainly because he wanted to leave Beijing, and no one knew his details. Sure enough, after arriving in Tongzhou, Wu Xuan's courage also increased, and he used the power of the eight-nation alliance army as a blessing, and later most of the coalition army withdrew to Beijing, but Wu Xuan still stayed in Tongzhou, helping the Japanese army manage the captured Chinese as coolies, and coercing women to play for the Japanese army, which was indeed a lot of bad things, and died directly or indirectly at the hands of Wu Xuan, at least 5 or 6 lives.

Because Wu Xuan's identity is different, he has also heard a lot of deeds of overseas Chinese, but after the traverser captured Tongzhou, Wu Xuan did not panic at all, and the previous experience of repeatedly going to Qin and Twilight Chu made Wu Xuan full of confidence and firmly believed that he could mix with overseas Chinese, just like he could mix in the church, the Boxer Rebellion, or the Eight-Nation Alliance. Then this time it's different.

Of course, a considerable part of these circumstances were only known when Wu Xuan was interrogated later, and at the same time, he also learned a lot about the Eight-Nation Coalition from Wu Xuan's mouth, because Wu Xuan had been with the Eight-Nation Coalition for a long time, although it was impossible for him to have access to the secrets of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but ordinary things could not be hidden from him, and from some daily things, plus the captured documents, and the interrogation of Japanese prisoners, it was still possible to have a basic understanding of the situation of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At this time, the two trains entered the Tongzhou Railway Station, and the three battalion commanders Luo Yue, Ran Runfeng, and Liu Qinglin came to the train to report the results to the two front-line commanders, Chu Yaping and ***.

In this battle, a total of 352 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, 61 were captured, and 218 Japanese Type 30 rifles were captured, with more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition. There were some other food, medicines, and supplies, as well as 26 military horses, 42 mules and donkeys, and 32 carts. On the KPA side, 117 soldiers were killed and 189 more wounded, and more than 300 combat losses were lost, of which about 40 soldiers were seriously wounded and could not participate in the battle in a short period of time. The vast majority of the wounded and killed soldiers were caused by Japanese bayonets. Therefore, it can also be seen that the KPA bayonet tactics still have considerable shortcomings, and it needs to be strengthened in training.

In addition to the bayonet battle, there was also an abnormal situation in the results of the battle, that is, the number of captured ammunition was too small, and the number of rifles captured was completely disproportionate, with an average rifle only about 10 rounds of ammunition, considering that the total number of Japanese casualties and prisoners exceeded 400, so that the average number of bullets per person was less than 10. Moreover, the main mode of operation of this battle was mainly white-knuckle warfare, and not much ammunition was consumed, so only more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition were captured, which was obviously unreasonable, and no ammunition depot was found at the Tongzhou Railway Station. Later, after interrogating the Japanese prisoners and Wu Xuan, and consulting the captured documents, it turned out that the entire Eight-Nation Coalition Army was in a situation of lack of ammunition.

After discussing with the three battalion commanders, Chu Yaping, *** and the three battalion commanders believed that the news was basically reliable, so they immediately reported it to the rear headquarters.

In fact, the news of the capture of the Tongzhou railway station was reported to the rear command as soon as possible. After Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun and others received the news, they were also very happy, because this was not only the first battle to attack Beijing, but also the Shanghai negotiations had just broken down yesterday, and the traverser repaid the countries and the Qing court with the results of capturing Tongzhou and coercing Beijing, which was also more useful than saying anything, and it also showed the attitude of the traverser, and it was useless to reach any agreement without the participation of the traverser. The Central Military Commission also immediately ordered the mobilization of the Second Regiment and the Fifth Regiment to immediately dispatch, on the one hand, to station in Tongzhou County and completely control the Tongzhou area, and on the other hand, to strengthen the troops on the front line.

On the very second day, the [New China Daily], founded by the traverser, issued a special issue, officially announcing the news of the People's Army's capture of Tongzhou Railway Station to people from all walks of life in Tianjin. Although the China Times has not been published for a long time, it has already created a great influence in Tianjin, on the one hand, it is a newspaper founded by a traverser, and it is also the only newspaper founded by Chinese in Tianjin, although it is an overseas Chinese.

It turned out that during the period of the reform of the law, Yan Fu and other restorationists founded the [Guowen Bao] in Tianjin, which was the earliest newspaper founded by Chinese in Tianjin, to carry out public opinion propaganda for the reform of the law. And whereas. After the Wuxu Reform, it was investigated and prosecuted by the Qing government, and was forced to suspend publication in December 1898. Later, [Guowen Bao] was sold to the Japanese, and it was once republished, but with the change of Gengzi country, [Guowen Bao] was completely suspended.

The most influential newspapers in Tianjin today are the Beijing-Tianjin Times, founded by the British, and the China Times, founded by De Xuanlin, the former director of the Tianjin Customs and Excise, but both of these newspapers were published in English, and both newspapers ceased publication after the Travelers occupied Tianjin. Therefore, the [New China News] founded by the traverser is not only the only newspaper founded by Chinese in Tianjin, but also the only newspaper in Tianjin at present.

Because it is a monopoly operation, it is naturally a good sales, of course, [New China News] is not just a monopoly operation, after all, the newspaper founded by the traverser, whether it is content or form, is not comparable to the newspapers of this era, and has the support of government departments, so it can obtain a large number of current political news, because it is during the negotiations in Shanghai, [New China News] always reports the process of negotiations at the first time, so it is naturally welcomed by all sessions in Tianjin. This time, a special issue was issued on the People's Army's capture of the Tongzhou Railway Station, which immediately caused a sensation in Tianjin.
