Section 75 attacks on Qiongshan

The object of this ruin must be very cautious. The first is that it must be discredited among the people, and secondly, it must be very shili in the local area. In this way, it can not only knock the mountain and shock the tiger, but also prevent the people from being too afraid and making a common hatred for the enemy.

It is not difficult to choose a target, since the initial stabilization of Lingao, the intelligence department began to collect intelligence from the neighboring prefectures and counties of Danzhou and Chengmai, for the purpose of taking over power and fighting wars in the future. The situation in these states and counties is quite comprehensive.

Zuihou, You Laohu and Yu Zhiqian circled several local tyrants, all of whom were typical local tyrants who colluded with the government and fished in the township. And it is dominated by clan landlords. Destroying one family can make a powerful clan in one place completely lose control of the local area. This is more important than just eliminating a local tyrant.

In the next week, Yu Zhiqian led his men and horses to march in Chengmai County, broke through two villages, and coerced many villages to send food and send errands. Received a large amount of money, food and people. Most of the captured prisoners were sent to Lingao to be dispersed and resettled. He only escorted more than 100 Ding Zhuang and dozens of captured local tyrants and their minions to Chengmai County. Ding Zhuang continued to help dig trenches and build earth barriers under the city.

Originally, You Tiger was just preparing to bluff, but now there are many people in the food, and there are no elite soldiers in Chengmai County, and there is a small battle under the city, although there are not many casualties, but the villagers are brave and the people are about to collapse under the Mini rifle, whether it is for the elders or the indigenous soldiers, the morale has greatly increased.

Because of the help of 12-pound mountain grenades, Mini rifles and explosives, the combat operation of breaking the village, which was also difficult for ordinary rogues and even the Ming army, was a no-brainer for Yu Zhiqian and others, and all the casualties of Yu Zhiqian's department were only nine infantry wounded, one militia killed and eleven wounded. If it weren't for the time-consuming and laborious task of packing up and counting materials, a few more stockades could be broken.

Every time Yu Zhiqian broke the village, he always let go of a few people and let them go to the city to report the emergency -- You Laohu had already set up lurking posts outside the city gates of Chengmai, and those who tried to enter the city to report the emergency were all hanged on the trees outside the city gates, and no one went to the county seat anymore.

The captured local tyrants and doglegs were hanged in batches on the big trees on both sides of the Chengmai-Qiongshan official road. For a time, the whole county of Chengmai was shaken, and the gentry and merchants in the county were very frightened, and they escaped from the east and west gates by night.

You Laohu and Yu Zhiqian discussed, and now that they have food on hand, some people simply set up a village under Chengmai City as a forward base. So he sent people back to Ma Yuan to ask for instructions, and He Ming saw that they were making a huge noise, so he sent an infantry company and several teams of trainees from the teaching team to come over for reinforcements.

You Laohu drove the people, built the earthen fortress around Chengmai, and sent people to repair the wharf and dredge the port by the sea, and Meiwan simply sent an engineering team to guide the project, and by the way, use labor to repair the road.

There was a huge uproar under the city of Chengmai, and on the official road of Qiongshan-Haikou Qianhusuo-Chengmai, the special investigation team led by Ye Mengyan was also active. He led a team of 30 people all the way to Qiongshan County, set up several reconnaissance posts along the way, and put the early warning line all the way to the city of Qianhu in Haikou. Then he led the men and horses along the Nandu River to the Jiazi Coal Mine.

Tang Menglong had already received a warning that the Ming army might soon launch an attack on Lingao.

Theoretically speaking, the Jiazi Coal Mine is the industry of the Hai family, and the government should not touch it, and the Jiazi Coal Mine is located in an inland area with inconvenient transportation, so it is difficult for the officials and troops to take military action. But the potential danger of a coal mine being attacked is always there. The instructions given to Tang Menglong by the Government Council were: to stop all coal export work, stop the operation of Haijia Wharf, and only keep local personnel behind, and Lin Baiguang is responsible for the specific work. In terms of mines, the scale of production has been temporarily reduced, and the military training of miners and the fortification of coal mines have been stepped up.

When Ye Mengyan arrived at the Jiazi Coal Mine, the production of the entire mine had completely stopped, and only the coal washing plant and the briquette factory continued to process the coal storage. The miners are fully armed and are conducting assassination drills in the clearing. Tang Menglong built several new bunkers at the wharf and in the mining area, each of which could be guarded by five or six soldiers, and there were many bamboo pipes for explosives for blasting.

"He Ming has obtained the authorization of the Executive Committee: if necessary, you can withdraw from here with people. It's okay to withdraw now. Ye Mengyan said, "You only have a platoon here, more than 30 Mini rifles, and the enemy army will definitely not be able to withstand it if it comes to attack." ”

"What are the officers and soldiers doing in this coal mine?" Tang Menglong said with a big grin, "You have also walked the mountain roads along the way. Do you say that the officers and soldiers will not do serious things, do not fight in Lingao, and take such a road to fight when they are full? Besides, this coal mine can be regarded as the Hai family's industry. ”

"Just in case." Ye Mengyan said, "Anyway, my words have also arrived, if you want to withdraw, retreat quickly, the officers and soldiers have not yet arrived in Hainan, and now it is easy to receive your brigade to retreat." ”

Tang Menglong thought for a moment: "I still won't withdraw." There are hundreds of people here, both men and women. It is very inconvenient to withdraw. In case it is intercepted by the officers and troops along the way, it will suffer great losses. In addition, there are a lot of equipment and materials here, and the infrastructure has also cost a lot of money, and as soon as we leave, the villagers and bandits in the mountains will take the opportunity to loot and steal. After defeating the enemy, it is a big investment to rebuild. ”

Tang Menglong decided not to withdraw, and Ye Mengyan was no longer reluctant, so he left the explosives and some grenades he brought with him to Tang Menglong, and left a team of special investigators to assist in the defense of Jiazi Coal Mine.

Ye Mengyan took the rest of the people from the mountains back to the Haikou area. His second mission was to harass the local government and garrison in Qiongshan. The special investigation team is small and well-equipped, but without heavy weapons, it is not possible to directly besiege the city like a tiger. Ye Mengyan knew that it was worthless to snipe a few passing post soldiers and the like, so he simply led the team directly to the Daying Mountain outside Qiongshan County.

"A cannon is installed on this commanding height, and Qiongshan County must not surrender immediately?" Ye Mengyan put down the binoculars and muttered to himself. He wore a civilian version of the U.S. Army jungle camouflage BDU during the Vietnam War. On his shoulder was a VZ68 submachine gun. No steel helmet. Behind him were twelve young men handpicked from his own detachment, all dressed in the same way as him, except for the inconvenient SKS semi-automatic. These special investigators sat quietly in the woods, eating dry food and drinking water.

The entire county seat of Qiongshan is at his feet. It is a pattern of mountains and rivers. A large river flows through the south gate and the east gate, and outside the west gate is a hand-dug moat, but there is nothing outside the north gate -- the north gate of Qiongshan County, like most county towns in Hainan, the north gate is set up but not opened, although there are city towers and city gates, but the inside of the city gate has long been blocked by bricks.

It can be seen that the fortification of the city is very poor, even according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, it is not very good, it can only be regarded as qualified. Ye Mengyan saw that the three city gates were not closed, they were unguarded, and they had been hiding all the way, except for the small group of soldiers who had sentry posts and patrols more than ten miles outside the city of Haikou Qianhusuo, there were no reconnaissance and vigilance measures along the road -- can this also be called a "state of imminent war"? It's child's play. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have extreme contempt for the Ming official.

"Squad leader, we sneaked all the way to Qiongshan, what are we going to do next?" One of the team members asked him.

"The superiors want us to attack and harass, and I don't think this place can withstand the attack. As soon as we rush down, we will probably be able to finish Qiongshan County. Ye Mengyan smiled, "It's quite difficult. ”

"I see that the streets outside the city are very prosperous, so let's just go and set a fire to Qiongshan Guanxiang." One of the team members said, "As soon as this fire burns, I'm afraid that Wang Zunde, this old guy, will have to force the officers and soldiers to cross the sea." ”

Ye Mengyan smiled hesitantly: "You have a very bad idea." What should I do when it's all burned out? In fact, he thought, this is a good way, and it will definitely be able to shake Wang Zunde. But in this case, neither the Planning Council, nor the Senate will spare themselves, even though their motives are different.

"The fire burned the box, we have to help the victims after we have beaten it." Ye Mengyan said, "Everyone thinks of another way"

At noon that day, Ye Mengyan led the special investigation team down from Daying Mountain. He decided to choose Dongmen Street outside the East Gate of Qiongshan County as the location of the demonstration. There are many pedestrians and shops here, which can cause the biggest sensation.

He left a cover group with automatic rifles on the high ground outside the market, and used automatic rifles to block fire as soon as a large group of enemies broke out of the city. He himself took seven or eight people to the entrance of Guanxiang Street at the East Gate, although it was outside the city, there was also a wooden fence guarding it, and now the wooden fence was open, and only two people were guarding it.

Dressed in colorful clothes and covered with fragments of Ye Mengyan and others, Minzhuang's first reaction was not fear or nervousness, but curiosity, and one with a spear walked a few steps to see it clearly. When he saw their short stubble, Minzhuang seemed to suddenly understand, and suddenly dropped his spear and ran to the gate of the city, pulling his throat and shouting as he ran:

"The thief is coming, the thief is coming"

Ye Mengyan waved the submachine gun in his hand, and the team members rushed in. The two team members quickly took control of the wooden grating. He himself led people along the street and rushed straight to the gate of the county seat.

Today is not a market day, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets. Seeing a sudden influx of strange-shaped people, everyone was stunned for a while.

Several people at the gate of the county seemed to react, seeing that there were few of them, they all rushed out of the city gate hole with knives and spears to fight, and a team member who followed behind Ye Mengyan immediately threw out two grenades.

The grenade exploded in the hole in the city gate, and suddenly the smoke filled the air, and there was a screaming and moaning of the crying father and mother. The streets immediately became chaotic, and pedestrians hurried to hide in the shops and alleys on both sides. Ye Mengyan knew that he couldn't stay for a long time because he had few people, so he hurriedly posted two notices of the Fubo Army on the fence at the gate of the city. He posted the notice and was not in a hurry to leave, and shouted to the people on the street outside the east gate, saying that they were the men and horses of the Fubo army, and that they had only come to warn the government that they would not kill the people, and that they should not be afraid. The shops on both sides of the street were filled with bated breath and listened to them, but no one dared to speak. Ye Mengyan and the team immediately turned around and withdrew, at this time, the SKS-D rifle rang out one after another, and there were originally a few people with bows and arrows on the city tower who wanted to shoot arrows, but they were all killed by the rifles of the covering group as soon as they opened their bows.

After Ye Mengyan's team withdrew from the street outside the East Gate, after walking for a few miles, he ordered everyone to quickly ambush at a place where the post road turned. Sure enough, in a few minutes, more than 100 people and village warriors chased after them under the leadership of a man on horseback and carrying a spear. Soon it was close to fifty meters.

Ye Mengyan patted the top shooter in the team: "Hit the one who rode a horse"

As soon as the gun rang out, the leader of the horse fell off his horse, and the townspeople around him suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers of the squad passed by a row of grenades, and a piece of the crowded and dense crowd was immediately blown up, and those who were not killed or injured immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the county seat. Ye Mengyan arranged for the team members who were ambushed in the back road and immediately threw out a row of grenades, killing and injuring many people. The enemy was defeated like a mountain, and whether there was a way or not, they scattered and fled for their lives.

Ye Mengyan fought a beautiful ambush battle, knowing that the enemy would not dare to come out to chase after him, he immediately asked someone to find the leader's horse back. The team told him to mount his horse, and he shook his head:

"I can't ride a horse......"

He thought in his heart that he would not be able to continue the attack if he took the horse with him, but he was reluctant to abandon the horse, which was a rare Mongolian horse in the region, much stronger than the dwarfed Guoxia horse.

It's enough to do it once in Qiongshan County, so simply return to Chengmai to rest for a few days and come back. Thinking of this, he commanded:

"Bring the horse, let's go back to Chengmai first"

The team members quickly cleaned up the battlefield, Ye Mengyan took care of the head of the leader who led the pursuit and hung it on the tree on the side of the road, someone picked up a beautiful short sword on the leader's corpse, and immediately handed it to Ye Mengyan.

"Captain, this thing is very beautiful, you can keep it." Said the team member.

Ye Mengyan took a look at this short sword, the dark green leather sheath was inlaid with the pattern of fine gold and silver filigree, the style was simple, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing.

"All seizures must be returned to the public, and this dagger must be handed over." Ye Mengyan was not interested in the so-called "magic weapon" of this cold weapon, he just thought it was very good-looking. He casually threw the short sword in his backpack and told everyone to pack up and retreat immediately.

In order to prevent the officers and soldiers of Haikou Qianhu Station from intercepting and killing them halfway, they left the main road and made a detour, but they retreated to the camp of Youhu under Chengmai County in a few hours.

The camp of the tiger has now been renovated into a large-scale camp. He drove seven or eight hundred men and women in his hands. These men were guarded by the militia and led by members of the construction engineering team to build camps and level roads every day.

You Laohu hosted a banquet for Ye Mengyan in his headquarters.

His so-called headquarters was a makeshift shack. The interior is very comfortable, not only are there all kinds of seats, but even the bed is a mahogany bed. These items were obviously snatched from the time when the big families in Sixiang were fighting.

Hearing Ye Mengyan's big trouble in the Guanxiang of Qiongshan Mountain, You Laohu was very excited-he was originally a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and such a dramatic and lively scene made him very fascinated.

"Xiao Ye, you are in the limelight now." You Tiger patted his thigh, "We're much more boring here." pouting at a broken county town all day long, repairing roads and villages. Saying that, he took care of the company's secretary to prepare meals for Ye Mengyan's team, and then prepared some food to entertain Ye Mengyan.

A hearty meal was soon on the table, including a large plate of ribs. The pork ribs are red and yellow and bright, smell fragrant, and taste crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside.

"This is what Lao Yu caught and the cook did. The craftsmanship is very good. You Tiger finished gnawing one with lightning speed, grabbed another one and gnawed it.

Yu Zhiqian smiled and said: "It stands to reason that we are violating discipline by doing this......

"Discipline," You Laohu originally wanted to say "fart discipline", but when he thought about it, he would probably pull pigtails for people, so he changed his words, "Anyway, I was sent to Lingao to be a chef, and I stayed here to be a chef." I'm just going to use it first. He then pointed to the ribs, "These ribs are marinated in honey, and the entrance is crispy, a bit like Cantonese barbecued pork, but it's not like it, anyway, when I go back, I have to ask the life secretary to learn from the cook." ”

In addition to the ribs, there are several plates of fresh vegetables and other dishes. Just no wine.

"The food is very good. Where does the supply come from? Ye Mengyan was strange - the logistics department would never send fresh vegetables and raw meat for supplies.

"Lao Yu hit the big households, chicken, duck and fish, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are enough" You Laohu shook his head, "In fact, there is a lot of wine, but you can't drink it." He smashed his mouth with a little regret, "Vegetables and grain are collected and sent to the stockades everywhere. Since we broke a few stockades and killed a group of people, the stockades around Chengmai have long been scared, even if they want the old rich to offer their wives, they are willing. ”

"This meat hasn't been quarantined either......"

"You don't eat the pull-down," You Tiger began to eat the fourth rib again. Ye Mengyan saw that the ribs were about to be fished out by him, so he hurriedly joined the ranks of gluttony.

The three of them were eating and drinking, and the herald came to report that the representative of the Planning Institute had arrived.

"Now our good days are over." You Tiger shook his head, "Invite him in." ”

Yu Zhi's potential Chengmai hit a large household, which naturally attracted the attention of the Planning Institute. In order to put the seized materials and manpower into orbit as soon as possible, Wu De sent a special search team led by representatives of the Planning Institute.

"The end result of the local use of the loot is a muddy account," he said very seriously when he gave the order to the representative of the Planning Institute, "and now You Laohu's detachment is fighting local tyrants under Chengmai City, and has obtained a lot of money, food, and people. You have to go there and keep a register of the spoils of war, and some of the grain and non-staple food can be transferred to the detachment on the spot, but the formalities must be sound. ”
