"The water of the Pearl River is a little red!" This is the adjective after the revision of the Wuzhou Town counteraction in later generations. On both sides of the Pearl River, in the course of the Pearl River, hundreds of corpses have dyed this important river in a few intermittent reds.

When the Guangfu Army waited until the boat army rushed to a distance of more than ten meters before firing, the lethal efficiency undoubtedly reached its peak. Like cutting dead branches, like cutting wheat, the morale was once high, and the boat army, which thought that victory was in hand, was horrifically slaughtered. Rifles, hand 1ei, artillery, and sandbags formed a barrier, and in front of the offensive and defensive system, the boat army left hundreds of corpses.

For the battlefield in the south of Wuzhou City, the military history records that "in the possession of weapons with a generational difference, especially the level of military command with a complete generational difference, this battle can almost be called a one-sided massacre." The enemy does not understand modern warfare, and our army is a new type of army that has been transformed from the war of the old era. All the efforts of the enemy are only to completely expose their forces to the effective damage of our troops......"

Shen Xin, who was immersed in the scene, was completely stunned, he naturally heard that when the Guangfu Army was still in the battle sequence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it killed tens of thousands of Qing troops during the Northern Expedition. With Shen Xin's fighting skills and imagination of war, the two sides on the battlefield are a terrible melee. Everyone has an opponent, and everyone plays with their lives to kill each other. It was a hellish sight of Shura.

The realistic battle made Shen Xin dumbfounded, and in just ten minutes of gunfire and artillery bombardment, the enemy who was advancing on the opposite side of the water 6 was hit by a devastating blow. The vast majority of the enemy did not even see their faces clearly, and they were killed by the shells. And a lot of the enemies just fall to the ground, roll, and when the roll stops, they don't move, as if they're playing dead. Shen Xin, who had always been worried that the enemy was not dead, observed frequently, and saw that the enemies on the ground had maintained a completely consistent posture for several hours, so Shen Xin had to believe that those enemies had been killed.

There was no unimaginable hand-to-hand combat, and there was no earth-shattering shouting, and hundreds of dead appeared with a quick shot of rifles and artillery. Only one brother in the Guangfu Army was hit on the forehead by a lead from the enemy's fire, and the military medical probe simply determined the location of the lead in the wound, and then used a knife to cut the wound, and then the wound that had not bled much was gushing blood.

The military doctor removed the lead with tweezers and rinsed the wound with salt water to wash the residue as well. Finally, the alcohol swab is treated in the wound, and finally the sheep intestine is sutured. The wound was covered with boiled gauze imported from England, and the soldier's head was bandaged with gauze imported from England. The soldier buttoned his hat to his head, and he returned to the battle sequence with vigor.

The members of the political department had all been trained in the content of military merit medals, and Shen Xin knew very well that this wounded soldier would be awarded the Purple Star Medal after the war. This is a medal dedicated to wounded fighters on the battlefield. Even if there is no proud military exploits, as long as you have been injured, you can be awarded this kind of medal. As long as blood has been shed for the revolution, the revolutionary organization will not turn a blind eye to it.

It's just that hundreds of enemies were killed and wounded, and only one person in the Guangfu Army received the Purple Star Medal, and Shen Xin didn't know whether he should feel praised or a little funny. If the enemy is all such a wreck, then it seems that it is not a great thing to kill tens of thousands of Qing troops.

"This is really the advantage of the system!" Luo Xuan, who was next to Shen Xin, exclaimed.

"Chief of Staff Luo, what do you say about this?" Shen Xin was a little puzzled by Luo Xuan's exclamation.

As a hugely influential figure in the boat army, Luo Xuan was responsible for guarding the water gate and dock in the south of the city. Listening to Shen Xin's question, Luo Xuan replied: "I have fought so many battles, and the only one who can shoot when the enemy approaches to ten steps (one step in the Qing Dynasty is about 1.5 meters) is the Guangfu Army." Whether it was the Qing army or the Taiping army, the enemy approached to twenty or even thirty paces, and the troops opened fire early. ”

"Really?" Shen Xin didn't think there was anything strange about this, he saw that the troops just obeyed the commander's orders, the commander pulled out his command knife and raised it high, and shouted in a long voice, "Ready!" The troops raised their guns, and while the commander shouted "shoot", the command knife was swung down vigorously, and all the soldiers immediately opened fire. It couldn't be easier. As for the artillery, every artillery group, every artillery company, the commander shouted all kinds of orders one after another. The fighters didn't have to think about it at all, they just had to simply repeat the movements that they had trained countless times before.

"Brother Shen! If you were in the army, you would be a good soldier! Luo Xuan smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Shen Xin was quite puzzled.

Luo Xuan said in a somewhat playful tone: "You know that there is such a thing as discipline, what the commander tells you to do, you will do it if you want to." That's a good soldier! If you are not only able to obey orders and listen to commands, but also know why such orders are given and what kind of orders to give under what circumstances. Then after training, you can become an officer. How about it, do you want to join the army after this war? ”

"That's not good, I still have my mother alive, and I'm an only child, so I really can't join the army now." Shen Xin hurriedly rejected Luo Xuan's kindness.

"Oh? You are an only child, ...... have you ever been married? "Luo Gangden was interested.

Shen Xin heard the taste in Luo Xuan's words, and he hurriedly replied, "Hey, hey! Brother Luo, don't be kidding! The Ministry of Politics has said that the next step is to promote the "Marriage Law" and resolutely oppose arranged marriages! Don't even pull Lang to match! ”

Luo Xuan listened to the coke, "Ha! You know this little hairy kid who has become a parent! Let me tell you, brother, the people I know are very good, and I have seen my daughter, and her appearance and behavior are not ordinary. Can people take a fancy to you, brother, I can't pack tickets yet, you actually shook me. Children can't be trusted! ”

Shen Xin's face turned red immediately, "Brother Luo, what about fighting." Say something else! ”

"The battle is over!" Luo Xuan smiled, "Just this time, the boat army has already dispersed. They won't leave now, but they won't have the courage to come near again. Brother, do you know that we killed the Qing demon in Dayuan a few years ago, oh, the Qing army, killed more than a dozen general soldiers of the Qing army, a commander, and a commander only took one or two hundred people to escape with their lives, do you know how many people we killed that time? ”

"How many?" Shen Xin asked.

Luo Xuan smiled proudly: "That time I killed a whole day, and only four or five thousand people were killed. Now three or four hundred people have been killed in ten minutes, and at most two thousand people are really willing to fight, and they will not dare to come up to fight again anyway! At least that's the end of today's battle! ”

"Huh?" Shen Xin was stunned. Killed four or five thousand people in one day, more than a dozen general soldiers, one admiral, and the other escaped admiral only one or two hundred people remained, with Luo Xuan's character of not liking bragging, this number is not very much, so Shen Xin asked: "Brother Luo, can only one general soldier of the Qing army manage three or four hundred people?" One admiral is only in charge of 2,500 people, which is ......, and this is too worthless! ”

Luo Xuan originally thought that Shen Xin was stunned by the brilliant results of the Great Annihilation War, but he didn't expect Shen Xin's skillful use of arithmetic to come to a conclusion that the number was very correct, but the perspective was very strange. With the current establishment of the Liberation Army, 5,000 people are at most a brigade. From the point of view of numbers, a commander of the Qing army is the level of a fully equipped regimental commander of the Guangfu Army. If the staff officers of the Liberation Army are added, there must be more than 100 people at the level of the regiment commander and above the regiment commander.

There are more than 700 people in a battalion of the Guangfu Army, and even if the total army of the Qing army has a chief and deputy chief soldier, the general army is in command of about this number of troops. The battalion commander is a middle- and low-level commander in the Liberation Army, and if he is not a regiment commander, he cannot be called a middle-level or high-level commander. According to Shen Xin's standard measured by numbers, the glorious victory of the Battle of Dayuan was instantly lowered by several notches, and became a battle to annihilate two regiments of the enemy, or a brigade-sized unit.

Luo Outline wanted to refute it, but he really couldn't find a suitable explanation. Numbers don't tell nonsense, and it's the first time that Luo Gang himself looks at the Battle of Dayuan from the perspective of pure numbers. He also suddenly realized that Wei Ze did have a very strict attitude when he was building the army. A dignified prime minister in the Taiping Army often commands two or three thousand capable troops. In the Liberation Army, he was just a regimental commander-level officer. Wei Ze does attach importance to the position, but from another perspective, the talent in Wei Ze's hands is so prosperous. According to the number of troops and command ability, Wei Ze's subordinates had more talents than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had hundreds of thousands of troops. This realization made Luo Xuan completely dumbfounded.

The boat army was indeed beaten and demoralized, and in the evening, several of the leaders of the boat army sent people to discuss the defection. These deputies beat their chests one by one, scolding Hu Youlu and Wu Feng for being bastards, and they dared to do something to Brother Luo Xuanluo. After the day's fighting, the backbone of Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai's men was wiped out, and no one in the other units of the boat army was willing to obey the orders of these two men. The people who came to ask for defection didn't dare to ask for anything else, but just begged Brother Luo to take the brothers under his banner and give them a bite to eat.

In addition to the boat army, many of the vassals under the four major militia groups also chose to surrender. The leaders of the four major militia groups surrounded the Yamen of the Wuzhou Prefect, and the small vassal militias that surrendered did not dare to go to the prefect's yamen for fear of alarming the people of the four major militia groups. So they came to the south of the city and expressed their willingness to change their past mistakes and disband the militia group. I only hope that Luo Xuan can ignore what they do, and in the future, they will honestly obey the people and obey the orders of the Guangfu military government.

At least 2,000 of the original 10,000-strong joint forces of the famous regiment, the officer army, and the boat army clearly expressed their willingness to surrender. According to them, there are about 5,000 people who have either secretly dispersed, and those who have not left will not participate in the attack, and at most only 3,000 people are still "insisting on attacking" or "stubbornly resisting". Of these 3,000 men, there are still 1,000 officers and soldiers who are of little use.

According to the latest intelligence, there are 1,000 people inside the city and 1,000 people outside the city who can really fight, or dare to fight. The Liberation Army still has 14oo troops, and the ratio of forces between the two sides has changed from 6:1 to 1o:7 in the blink of an eye. Counting the superiority of the Liberation Army's weapons, the enemy's superiority in strength is enough to be negated.

Luo Xuan agreed with these people to meet again during the day tomorrow to discuss surrender. After beating away the surrenderers inside and outside the city, Luo Xuan asked Shen Xin's opinion.

"Brother Luo, can these people be trusted?" Shen Xin asked.

"This depends on your attitude as Commissar Shen!" Luo Xuan smiled.

was ridiculed by Luo Outline, and Shen Xin was also very helpless, but from a good point of view, at least Luo Outline finally agreed with Shen Xin's status as a political member. After thinking about it carefully, Shen Xin said, "Brother Luo, I think the militia in the city can still be trusted. Now the militia knows that they can't defeat us, and if they continue to resist, when our large army arrives, they will definitely fail. And these people have all their businesses in the city, even if they escape from the city, where can they go? Most of the small militias are organized by the people in the city, and I have also seen many people from the small militias, who are worried that the heavens and the earth will burn and plunder Wuzhou City after the boat army breaks through the city, so they organize their own militia groups, or join the militia groups. After we broke through Wuzhou, not only did we not commit any offense to the people, but also restored order and transportation. They themselves have no intention of fighting us to the death. So, I think the people in the city are quite credible. But the boat army outside the city, I don't know. Brother Luo, you are familiar with these people, you have to tell me whether they are credible. ”

Shen Xin said the truth, Luo Xuan no longer ridiculed, he said with a straight face: "The boat army brothers outside, their hands are not very clean. However, we don't have enough troops, and we won't be able to exterminate them in the near future. Since they cannot be exterminated, they can only be brought into our army and strictly disciplined. As for Hu Youlu and Wu Feng, if they escape from Wuzhou from now on, we can't control them for the time being. But if they dare to come to Wuzhou again, then needless to say, we must eradicate them! ”

After determining the direction of the future, the two held a meeting with the members of the Liberation Society in Seongnam to discuss strategies. At this time, the strategy is not much choice, that is, to take a risk and let the other militia members either go home and hide, or go outside the city to wait for the adaptation. A detachment was drawn from the south of the city to attack the militia besieging the Yamen of the Wuzhou Prefect, and after the troops in the south of the city converged with the troops stationed at the Yamen of the Prefect, they encircled and suppressed the enemy in the city.

After the strategy was decided, except for the vigil in the troops that took turns defending. The rest of the troops slept in their clothes. Waiting for the dawn.

The leaders of the four major militia groups do not have the military structure of the Liberation Army, which has a reliable command system and a time-tested staff system, and is able to adjust their subordinates and formulate and revise strategies and tactics according to the latest situation. The leaders of the militia did not have such an organization, let alone a comrade-in-arms like the Liberation Army who could trust each other and have the courage to assume their responsibilities. Since they draw up their battle plans with their own interests as the core, the leaders of the militia must be responsible for all kinds of affairs, including command and liaison.

After all, the world is very fair, and without common interests, there is no common cohesion, let alone common trust. The Liberation Army can dismiss a commander and punish a certain unit because of its selfish motives and ineffective fighting, or even completely dismiss a certain completely unreliable unit. However, every unit of the militia was fed by the militia leaders themselves, and the failure of these troops to fight effectively was of course a loss to the militia. However, the loss of any troops means that the previous investment can no longer be repaid, and that is an even greater loss.

Therefore, Li Shouchang, the leader of the largest militia in Wuzhou, called his subordinates to scold him angrily, but when the scolding was over, it was over. Li Shouchang is also powerless against his subordinates. After driving away these subordinates, Li Shouchang sat in his chair in a dejected manner, and his whole person fell into indescribable fear.

Li Shouchang, who was born in the People's League, understood the role of artillery very well, and every time the boat army besieged Wuzhou City, it often besieged tens of thousands of horses, but none of them could succeed. When the artillery at the head of the city opened heavy fire on the boats and the Restoration Society personnel who were dense and close to the city walls, these people immediately retreated like a tidal wave. In Li Shouchang's battle plan, the artillery at the head of the city was completely usable, and the militia regiments, officials and troops joined hands to transport the artillery down the city and fire fiercely at the positions guarded by the Guangfu army. So he was very happy when he easily took the city wall.

The cruelty of reality has taught Li Shouchang a lesson, Li Shouchang didn't expect that the Guangfu Army would be able to harden its heart and scrap all the expensive artillery, what kind of guy must have such a shocking idea? Without artillery, the biggest support point in Li Shouchang's plan was scrapped. The officers and soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness in the first place, and they did not carry weapons when they were dismissed, so it was not necessary to expect these people to carry cold weapons and fight hard with the Liberation Army. As for the militia's own combat effectiveness, Li Shouchang knows better. They had never been trained in siege warfare, and only had considerable experience in defending cities. At this time, only the militia can be relied on, and it is not a small force. Only when a large force formed by the militia itself launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Liberation Army could it be possible to win.

After the captured artillery could not be used, reality taught Li Shouchang a second lesson, and the Guangfu Army had frightening combat effectiveness. The three or four hundred people who attacked the Yamen of the Wuzhou prefect died in an instant, and they were wounded. Seeing this hellish scene, the militia troops were shaken in their hearts. Many people were so frightened that they ran home, closed the door, and refused to come out again.

Unexpectedly, Li Shouchang rang the bell of Wuzhou every time he defended the boat army and summoned the people of Wuzhou to come out. Reality made Li Shouchang realize the cruelty for the third time, and the people of Wuzhou did show outstanding courage when defending their homeland. Each time, they came out to respond to the call and keep the enemy out of Wuzhou City. Historically, Wuzhou has been subjected to continuous attacks since 1851 and was not breached until 1857. At that time, the people of Wuzhou City, with a population of 50,000, resisted in an all-out way, and nearly 30,000 people were killed.

Obeying Li Shouchang's call and working for Li Shouchang and other militia leaders, compared with defending their homeland, the gap between them is probably as far as the earth and the moon. The people of Wuzhou are naturally suspicious of the Liberation Army, but they are far from the point of dying together with the Liberation Army. They don't see any reason for themselves to come forward.

As a result, Li Shouchang not only failed to gather new troops, but even ran most of his own troops. At this time, Li Shouchang only felt that all thoughts were lost, he only hoped that the night could last endlessly, if only the sun would never rise tomorrow.

At this moment, someone reported that the three leaders of the militia came to see Li Shouchang together. Li Shouchang didn't want to see him, but if he thinks about it, everyone can be regarded as being able to take care of each other. Even if it is doomed, it is always a little reassuring to have someone by your side.

The three men came in with gloomy faces, not saying a word. Li Shouchang also felt that he really couldn't think of anything to say, but the three of them suddenly took out their handcuffs and opened fire on Li Shouchang.

Li Shouchang was shot for the first time, and when the scorching bullet entered his body, Li Shouchang thought that he would scream in pain, but the real feeling was completely different from his imagination. After the bullet entered the body, it seemed to drain Li Shouchang's strength together. He only felt weak, and he fell to the ground.

At this moment, there was a fierce shouting and killing sound outside, and Li Shouchang understood in a blink of an eye that he had been betrayed! However, after being hit by three bullets in a row, Li Shouchang only felt that the strength in his body was getting less and less, and as his vision became darker and darker, Li Shouchang didn't know anything!
