Of course, the interrogation process was not smooth sailing, Bi Jing whether it was a Japanese or a Qing Dynasty outlaw who used a lot of money to recruit outlaws would not honestly confess, during the interrogation, the performance of these two types of people was very different, the Japanese were speechless and silent, while the outlaws were upright and folded, crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes, and they wanted to pay for nothing, and they wanted to die.

However, East China ** will not be polite to them, and they will be punished if they are not recruited, and after the Qingdao side got the news, they were also quite shocked, so they also made a special trip to the camp to rush to the camp to assist the camp in interrogation, and specially found a few good torturers from the yamen of Luzhou Mansion, all of whom are known as "copper and iron cast people, and the prisoners will be kneaded into noodles in their hands". These people are really professionals, and they are generally tortured, and those outlaws recruited by the Qing court clan with heavy money, although they are all hob meat, they can't survive the punishment, and they recruit everything they know.

But in this regard, the tenacity of the Japanese is obviously much stronger than those outlaws recruited by the Qing court clan with heavy money, and even if they are tortured, only one person can't bear it, and confesses, while the others still grit their teeth and don't recruit, and even a few of the torturers in the Luzhou Mansion have no way to deal with them, but only one person's confession is obviously not enough, and then strengthen the torture, there are two people who can't stand the punishment, and they are dead.

Of course, the camp did not dare to increase the punishment of the Japanese, but at this time, Qingdao sent a set of modified electrocution equipment to let the Japanese compensate for the modern torture equipment. As a result, the electrocution was obviously much more severe than the local punishment, and after a electrocution, more than half of the Japanese could not bear it, and when it came to the second round, only one person was left to stand it, but it was also unable to withstand the third round of electricity, and finally honestly confessed all the Japanese layout plans, and even the 12 Japanese spies who were still lurking in the camp were recruited.

The camp also quickly followed the map to arrest all the other Japanese spies who were lurking, and they were not at ease, so they interrogated these captured Japanese spies and made sure that all the Japanese spies in the camp were arrested before it was over. At this time, the conspiracy of the Qing court and Japan against the camp was completely crushed.

And Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen were also scared into a cold sweat after fully understanding the entire plan of the Japanese. Frankly speaking, this plan of the Japanese is indeed very ingenious and thorough, even the Red Lotus Sect has been played by them, and the Japanese have actually copied mortars, it can be said that if it were not for the success of Luo Yue's plan to capture the old people, this plan of the Japanese is really likely to be completed. Once the Japanese succeeded, the camp would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the two of them took the opportunity of disaster relief this time to basically fail their goal of gaining experience.

Although the result of the interrogation came out, it involved both the Qing court and Japan, and the relationship was very important, and of course Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen could not handle it, in fact, let alone the two of them, even the Shanghai side could not handle it, so it could only be handed over to the Qingdao side, and the Qingdao side would handle it. Therefore, Shanghai first sent two destroyers to bring back all the prisoners, captured documents, and the results of the interrogation, while Qingdao sent two cruisers, Qingzhou and Yizhou, to escort all the cadres to Qingdao.

Of course, by the time the results of the interrogation came out, it would have been more than ten days later, and by the time these people were sent away, it would have been almost a month. Of course, it had nothing to do with Luo Yue, because he had already led the army out of the camp to meet the army of the Red Lotus Sect.

Although it was delayed for 2 days in order to carry out the opportunity to capture the old and indulge, the army of the Red Lotus Sect obviously did not seize this opportunity to march, and Luo Yue led the army to advance until the Lilin ridge, which was only more than 10 kilometers away from Lu'an Prefecture, and the army of the Red Lotus Sect remained in the city without moving.

It turned out that after the army of the Red Lotus Sect captured Lu'an Prefecture, it did not immediately march to Luzhou Prefecture, but collected materials in Lu'an Prefecture, recruited believers, and expanded its strength. There are still a lot of supplies, so it is natural to search Lu'an Prefecture, of course, there is no time to march to Luzhou Mansion.

As a result, the People's Army approached Lu'an Prefecture, and the Red Lotus Sect's army reacted, but when they learned that the People's Army only had 15 or 600 people, they were relieved, and the Red Lotus Sect Army sent troops to attack Lu'an Prefecture this time, dispatching more than 30,000 troops, and after occupying Lu'an Prefecture, they were deceived and recruited more than 10,000 people, and now the total strength is about 45,000 or so, but the weapons are basically cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and there are only more than 500 rifles.

However, although the number of the People's Army is small, it has approached Lu'an Prefecture, so the Red Lotus Sect Army can no longer stay in Lu'an City, and after discussing with several envoys, the leading protector and several envoys decided to send 30,000 troops to meet the battle, of which 25,000 are the troops brought from Yingzhou Prefecture, and 5,000 are recruited from Lu'an Prefecture, although these people have also heard that the People's Army is strong, but now the number of the Red Lotus Sect Army is about 20 times that of the People's Army, and several people also think that the chance of victory is at least 7 percent.

The two sides opened up positions at Dadinggang, about 8 kilometers away from Lu'an Prefecture, and started a battle.

First of all, the Red Lotus Sect army naturally launched an advance, but although the number of the People's Army was small, all kinds of rifles, machines, mortars, grenadiers and other weapons opened fire together, with strong firepower, they held the position steadily, and the Red Lotus Sect army suffered heavy casualties, corpses were all over the field, and blood flowed into the canal.

However, although the casualties of the Red Lotus Sect army were large, the offensive did not decrease at all, and the momentum of the attack remained unchanged, as if none of the dead in front of them existed, and while attacking, they were still chanting some mantra. The two battalions brought by Luo Yue are both old soldiers, and veterans account for more than half, but it is also the first time to see such a way of fighting, because this is not a war at all, it is a completely one-sided slaughter, and the other party is simply like deliberately giving away people's heads, no matter how many people die in front, the people behind also advance forward without changing their faces, even the Japanese army, which is known for not being afraid of casualties on the battlefield, will not be so almost deliberately heartfelt, so some recruits of the People's Army are fighting, and they feel panicked in their hearts.

But this situation was already expected by Luo Yue, because the Red Lotus Sect army was different from other armies, it was an army that was brainwashed with religious thoughts, either it really did not refuse to fear death, or it thought that it was protected by the gods and would be fine. The former is generally the religious army of Europe, while China is usually the latter, seven years ago in the Gengzi Revolution, when the Boxers really believed that magic could make them invulnerable to modern weapons. But no matter which one it is, in short, it is not equal to the standard of a normal army to measure this kind of army.

Of course, it is not difficult to deal with such an army, one is that in such an army, in fact, the people who really believe completely are not the majority, most of them are just a kind of herd mentality, seeing that others believe it, so they will follow the faith, as long as the army casualties reach a certain level, this trust will be reduced, and the final loss, of course, the premise is that there must be enough ammunition, so that the enemy's casualties reach a critical value; and the other is to directly attack the enemy's main general, the spiritual sustenance of this army is generally on the main general, the soldiers all believe that the main general has a spell, usually in the battle, the main general in the phalanx of the pretentious cloth gang practice, to strengthen the confidence of the soldiers, but as long as the main general is charged, even if he is not killed or injured, and retreats back, it will greatly shake the confidence of the soldiers.

Of course, the ammunition carried by Luo Yue's troops was sufficient, but they were also unwilling to cause more casualties, after all, the other party was basically ordinary people, firstly, they were forced by life, and they basically couldn't live anymore, so they joined the Red Lotus Sect; second, they were also deceived by the tricks of the Red Lotus Sect, thinking that the Red Lotus Sect really had some methods, so they tried to minimize the killing and injury of these people.

So when the battle entered the confrontation stage, Luo Yue ordered two companies to attack from the left and right flanks, bypassing the main battlefield, and directly attacking the rear of the Red Lotus Sect Army, because Luo Yue had already seen with a telescope that in the formation of the Red Lotus Sect Army, there was indeed a group of people who were pretending to be there, and it seemed that it was still very lively.

If it is a regular army, even if it is in the attack, it will also arrange army guards on its left and right flanks, but unfortunately the Red Lotus Sect army does not understand the common sense of these operations at all, although the Japanese who have mixed into the Red Lotus Sect know a little, but they will not teach the Red Lotus Sect, so the two companies of the People's Army marched from the left and right flanks, and did not encounter any obstacles, and smoothly bypassed the battlefield and forced all the way to the main position of the Red Lotus Sect army.

Although the Red Lotus Sect army did not fortify the left and right flanks, the main formation still had a considerable number of troops, and when they saw that the ranks of the People's Army were approaching, they also hurriedly transferred troops from the formation to meet the battle. Of course, the number of KPA troops approaching from the left and right flanks was small, only about 200 people, so they didn't pay much attention to it at all.

And seeing that the Red Lotus Sect army came up to meet the enemy, of course the People's Army could not advance any further, and immediately arranged a position to meet the battle, after all, if it advanced again, it would have to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Red Lotus Sect army. However, although the KPA did not advance anymore, it immediately set up mortars in the position and shelled the main position of the Red Lotus Sect, because the range of the mortars was already enough at this distance.

Each company had 6 60 mortars and 3 80 mortars, and the firepower was not bad, and the two companies together doubled the firepower. Although the People's Army did not know who the chief general of the Red Lotus Sect Army was, it was enough to aim at the crowd and fire, and the killing range of the artillery was extremely large, 2 to 300 hundred meters, which could basically include all the leaders of the Red Lotus Sect Army.
