Chapter 691: I Don't Want to Die. Spare your life

The Burmese people are not stupid, they don't know how to do the work of the top tank themselves, and the formed soldiers and horses deployed on the periphery of Mubang City, in addition to the Zara Feng Department, there is also a soldier called Du Feng.

When Zara Fengbu was pushed to the ground by the first regiment and rubbed hard, Du Feng hesitated several times to rescue, but in the end he didn't make up his mind.

In the end, he dispatched his troops to his periphery and laid out a strong defense in the Xigao Mountains, a mountainous area with water sources and grain and grass reserves.

Then there was the reinforcement of the fortifications, although the fortifications of the Sigao Mountains were already quite strong, and they were built with thick logs and stones, and small cannons were not necessarily useful.

In less than half a day, it took only three hours for a regiment to completely wipe out one or two thousand Qing soldiers and bandits in the Zalafeng Division.

Du Feng's face turned pale, and he stood on the top of Xigao Mountain and watched the sound of guns and fighting coming from the northeast, and watched the tall dragon flag in the northeast being cut down. In his heart, he was both lonely and desperate, and finally gritted his teeth towards the northeast, and he had already made up his mind in his heart to fight with the Wehrmacht on the Xigao Mountain.

At this moment, Wang Lian is very happy, their Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade has just been formed, of course there are barracks, and there are training grounds, but what about the field training camps of each regiment and battalion? It takes a lot of labor to build, not that you take the approval of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Cabinet to carve out a hill and then turn it into a proper field training camp.

Now he has taken a lot of prisoners, and he happens to be working as a coolie for the 5th Mountain Infantry Brigade.

"Wang Tuanzheng, I want to sneak into Xigao Mountain again, as long as we find out the deployment map of the Qing army, even if we only have mortars and small rocket launchers in our hands, as long as we go down with one cannon. The bandits on this mountain will soon become sparse. Tan Yifei said with a serious face. He dared to guarantee that after he went up the mountain, he would be able to get the specific parameter diagram right from memory.

Tan Yifei just wants to repeat his old tricks and once again infiltrate the Qing army camp.

But how could Wang Lian agree? Surprise and anger came up together. Shouted loudly. "You don't want to die? Mixed into the tin mountains at this time? "At the moment, the Qing soldiers in Xigao Mountain are not the Qing soldiers of Zarafeng, Tan Yifei's plan is not just to take risks, he is gambling with his own life." You don't want to die, Lao Tzu still wants your life? Come. Show him to me. Notify the brigade headquarters immediately. ”

Wang Lian himself also relied on daring to fight, dare to fight, and dare to take risks to get ahead, but after becoming an officer, especially after transferring from the Qing army to the Fu Han army, he did not abandon the momentum of daring to fight, but he resolutely quit taking risks. Because at this time, he represents not only himself, but also many soldiers. Therefore, Wang Lian is not very advocacious about the daring adventures of his subordinates.

"Tuanzheng, Tuanzheng. Don't tell ......"

After Tan Yifei heard the two of them, the heroic spirit on his face immediately fell. The chief of staff of the 5th Mountain Infantry Brigade was very similar to Wang Lian in terms of ideology, and he did not advocate for soldiers and officers to take risks in battle. If Tan Yifei's behavior is known to the chief of staff, he will not receive any punishment, and he may be transferred.

"I don't think you're anything. It's just an itchy skin. Let the chief of staff give you a relief from the itch, isn't it right and your heart? Wang Lian looked at Tan Yifei, who looked like a bear, and couldn't help but laugh and scold. I glanced back at the densely forested Xigao Mountains. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and gave the order to the herald. "Pass my orders! 4:30. Five rapid fire at each gun position! Knock their morale down to me! ”

The mountain is not high, but the dense woods and rugged roads of the Xigao Mountain are indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, and it is really not easy to gnaw down without an accurate defense map. But Wang Lian will not risk Tan Yifei's life for nine lives.

The artillery team under the first regiment is divided into two parts, one of which is the regimental artillery group, mainly mortar guns and small-caliber artillery, a total of 40 mortar guns, 12 redesigned new two-pound guns, the latter is no longer a small cannon cast by the iron mold casting cannon method, but a new type of artillery drilled out of the barrel with a boring machine, the overall weight is less than 200 catties (+ gun carriage), compared to the iron mold casting cannon method is really much lighter.

Each part can be disassembled and separated, plus ammunition, and two donkeys can also be carried up and moved with the army. The battle assembly can be completed in ten minutes, and the artillery position can be set up together. However, the firing range was nearly half that of the original cast iron cannon, and the test fire on flat ground was enough to hit a distance of 500 meters. The accuracy has not exceeded too much, mainly because the barrel life has been really enhanced.

Twelve two-pound guns formed an artillery company, which was one of the formed units in the fire battalion directly under the regimental headquarters.

In addition to the cannons of the regiment itself, there are also a number of units from the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters - under the jurisdiction of twenty medium mortars, plus six light rocket artillery, and six artillery teams that are also two-pound guns.

The entire artillery unit has more than 80 cannons, especially the six rocket artillery, which is powerful and powerful, and much stronger than the 18 two-pound guns.

Wang Lian divided the sixty mortar guns into two artillery groups, then eighteen two-pound guns and a separate combat unit - the rocket artillery group, which can be said to be around the Xigao Mountain. In total, there were four artillery groups. Eighty-six pieces of artillery of various types.

Five rounds were fired from each gun position. This little thing was done very quickly. From 4:30 p.m. to 4:36 p.m. that day. More than 400 shells fell on the small Xigao Mountain in six minutes. Although some of them are simple iron balls, they are also very capable of bluffing.

The sudden arrival of shells plunged the capital of Xigaoshan into more than 1,000 Qing troops, and they fell into complete chaos.

The guns on the hill rang out, but they were all blind fire. The Wehrmacht offensive has not yet begun. The nerves of this Qing army were completely pushed to a high level of tension during this shelling. The entire Xigao Mountain was full of nervous and frightened Qing soldiers. The whole position is in a hurry!

Xigao Mountain is about 200 zhang high, that is, seven or eight hundred meters high, and is the highest peak in the surrounding series of mountains and hills, with rugged ravines. On weekdays, it is also a famous scenery, the highest peak. But today it was a frightened bird. After this round of shelling, there were not many casualties among the Qing soldiers on the peak, but the main thing was mental pressure.

Of course, there were many banner soldiers in the Qing army that fled into Myanmar with Zhangbao, but more of them were Han troops. The flag soldiers and Chen Han have a common enmity, but what about the Han army? How many of the Han soldiers who fled into Burma with Zhangbao did so because of their loyalty to the Manchus? How many fled into Burma for fear of Chen Han's punishment as a prisoner of war? How many people have dispersed in the latter over the years?

Some of them fled to Shan State, some to Burma, and some to Siam, with the latter being the most proportionate. Because the Chinese have the highest status in Siam.

Within a few years, the Qing army had degenerated into an armed group of bandits led by large warlords and small soldiers. Taking Du Feng'e as an example, there are only five or six hundred henchmen under his direct control, and there are four or so 200 soldiers behind him, and they generally cooperate with the current army.

There are banner men among the four soldiers, Feng Ardeng and Song Weifeng are both banner people, and they were also deputy generals and staff generals at the beginning. But the other two, Zhao Erhuan and Gao Gu, are real Han people. They had been ordered by the Burmese to move to the north of the city of Mubang, and the two armies were in a horn, and they did have the intention of fighting the Wehrmacht for a while, but no one wanted to throw their lives here.

Before the start of the battle, they had already arranged their retreat routes. But who would have thought that Zalafon would be blocked by the vanguard of the Wehrmacht at once, and then it would be eaten up by the Wehrmacht in less than half a day. I became a lone army! A deep sense of fear gripped everyone's hearts at once.

Every Qing soldier was very convinced that he was alone, because they were convinced that the Burmese army in the city of Mu Bang, not far away, would never take the initiative to attack the Wehrmacht in order to save them. Otherwise, they would not have thrown out the two Qing armies as meat shields!

So the current military heart of Du Feng's forehead is really shaky, and then at this time, there was an artillery attack in a group, what did Du Feng'e himself think, Zhao Erhuan and Gao Gu didn't know, they only knew that their hearts had no idea of going to hell with the Qing soldiers.

"Your Excellency. People came down from the mountain. A pro-soldier walked up to Gao Gu and whispered.

Gao Gu glanced at Feng Adeng, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and then glanced at Song Weifeng, who had already heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Bring people in." ”

The layout of the Qing army was divided into two parts, the front was composed of Feng Adang and Song Weifeng, plus the Gao Gu Division, which was sandwiched between Feng Ardeng and Song Weifeng, which was obviously on guard against Gao Gu. At this time, there is still intrigue within the Qing army, how can the future of this battle give people confidence?

He took the initiative to stand up, Gao Gu came to Feng Arden's side and said softly. "Lord Feng, someone has come down the mountain." At the same time, Gao Gu is also very strange, what are the people from this mountain doing? Is there anything left to fight between the Wehrmacht and them?

"What?" Fung Adeng, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, jumped up. He really didn't hear it. At the same time, Feng Arden himself was also very stimulated, at this time, Yamashita sent people to recruit rebellion? "Drag the thief up for me." Feng Ardeng was born in Zhenghongqi, and he hated Chen Han's rebellion against the "scourge" of the Qing Dynasty. No matter what the purpose of the people under the mountain is, as long as they are the ones who do things for Chen Han, they are traitors and thieves, and they should die.

"Abundance...... My lord! "A man was dragged in by two pro-soldiers outside. Immediately after getting out, he knelt on it and swallowed his head.

"Shu Yude?" Feng Aden was shocked instantly, the person who came turned out to be Shu Yude, this person was a person from the Han Army Banner, the original prefect of Dali, and also the chief steward of the Zara Fengbu.

"How dare you join the rebels. Betray me Daqing! Feng Ardeng looked at a chubby "acquaintance" who was kneeling, and opened his mouth to scold in anger. "Dog minion, you have eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard! Come on, drag him out and behead him. ”

A good slave of the Qing Dynasty, then he should not share the sky with the pseudo-Han. The two sides fought for life and death, and only one survived. And now that this Yude is actually a lobbyist for a pseudo-man, he deserves to die.

Feng Adeng, who was angry, didn't see the sparkle in Song Weifeng's eyes on the side, he was also from the Han Army Banner.

Shu Yude actually started to do things for the Fu Han Army, has the rules of the Fu Han Army changed? Can he do it too......

"Your Excellency!" Shu Yude kowtowed in fright. "Your Excellency, spare your life. The little one also wanted to die for the country, but he was knocked out by a few dogs around him! When I woke up, I found myself in the thief camp. The little one really didn't join the bandits! Please be gracious, please be gracious! He shook his head as he spoke.

Song Weifeng was unwilling to let Shu Yude die, at least until he explained the front and back clearly, he was unwilling to let Shu Yude die.

"Lord Feng. Shu Yude is the money and grain official under Lord Zalafeng, and he has done his best and never slackened over the years, which shows his loyalty to my Qing Dynasty. Now that he is in the hands of an enemy, he is also forced to do so, and in my opinion, Shu Yude really does not look like a rebel. Let's spare his life for the time being, and see what else he has to say! ”

Gao Gu on the side flattened his mouth and also helped out.

"yes. Lord Feng. ”

"We all know Lao Shu's character. This time it's a villain, and he won't do it from the contrary. Adults still take it easy. Listen to how Master Shu confesses? ”

Gao Gu also had a fire in his heart, of course, he was very calm on his face. Feng Aden just didn't have a clairing eye, nor did he have Chen Ming's ability that seemed to be useless, otherwise he could see that the blood flow of the two people around him was accelerating at the moment, and his emotions were excited, and at the same time, the already undetermined aura on his head was even more unfirm.

"Say it! What good news did the puppet rebels bring you over? Seeing that Gao Gu and Song Weifeng came out to dissuade them. Feng Arden still has to save a little face for the two of them. With a "snort" of anger, the seizure was paused.

Looking at the gloomy face of the von Arden. Shu Yude was very scared. But thinking of the support behind him and the small family of the captive parents, there are also the benefits of this persuasion mission. He still mustered up the last courage and said tremblingly: "Han...... Han Bing said...... Say let the adults vote...... Cast ......" Speaking of the word "vote", Shu Yude really didn't have the courage to say the following word again.

"It's surrender, right? Well? Feng Arden stared at Shu Yude and couldn't stop sneering. Squeeze a few words out between your teeth.

"My lord! I didn't say that! It's just what the Fu Han army said. If adults don't ...... Don't vote...... They're about to open fire! Spare your life! Shu Yude was trembling with fat all over his body. Lying tightly on the uneven stones.

"Fire?" Gao Gu couldn't help but shudder. Thinking of the shelling he had just received, he still had palpitations! "How many cannons do they have?" picked up the paralyzed Shu Yude. Gao Gu asked loudly.

"No...... No less than ...... Hundred doors. Shu Yude said tremblingly. But seeing that Feng Ardeng, Gao Gu, and Song Weifeng all looked incredulous, they hurriedly changed their words. "Seventy or eighty gates. It's really seventy or eighty. I saw it with my own eyes. Divided into three artillery groups. There's it. I've seen it with my own eyes. Shu Yude, who was sweating profusely, explained repeatedly. When he came here, he did pass by an artillery position, and he also knew that the cannons were coming from three places, so there were twenty or thirty guns in one place, and three places were not really seventy or eighty guns.

"Seventy or eighty?" Song Weifeng muttered the number in a low voice. "Huh...... Hahaha, hahaha......" A series of cold laughs, laughing at all the people present - everyone was hairy from the bottom of their hearts. But looking at Song Weifeng, who was crazy, they all felt the same way in their hearts.

"It's over, it's all over." Gao Gu looked up to the sky and sighed. Said: "Seventy or eighty pieces of artillery." And that's just their vanguard, it's incredible. Incredible......"

The road in Burma is so difficult to navigate, and the Wehrmacht alone carries seventy or eighty artillery pieces, so what a strong logistical supply capacity it must have. The current Wehrmacht is much stronger than the original Fu Han Army.

Everyone present was someone who had dealt with Chen Han, and everyone knew how much Chen Han attached importance to logistics, and how good the latter's logistics support was. Chen Han cares a lot about the 'temple calculation' when he fights, and he will not take big risks without a certain certainty. Especially now that he is the master of the world, it is impossible for the intelligence of Myanmar to be absolutely confidential to Chen Han, so it is impossible for Chen Han to repeat the mistake of Mingrui in this battle. In this way, regardless of the final outcome of this battle, Xi Gaoshan must be finished.

Feng Arden sat down on the stone softly, and he had already thought of his fate in the future, but he didn't have the slightest idea of being soft on the Wehrmacht: "This official didn't want to kill you today." Whoever kills you will talk to the rebels? But you, Shu Yude, betrayed the imperial court first, ignored the grace of the saints for many years, and spared you, I am sorry for the heroic spirits of the Qing Dynasty in the sky. How do you want to die? Bloodless, or bloodless? For the sake of your dedication to Zaravon for many years before, the Lord will give you a grace today. "Feng Arden's voice is much quieter when he says this, but his tone is extremely affirmative." This official was born as a minister of the Qing Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Qing Dynasty! He will never commit treason to the enemy, and the good head is placed here, and if he has the ability, let the traitors under the mountain kill him and take it. Anyway, I don't need you to go back and report the news. ”

“…… Someone! Drag me down and chop me to pulp! "Since Shu Yude has not decided on his own death until now, Feng Adeng will decide for him first.

Shu Yude has no reason to be lucky. If he can't teach him a lesson, how can Feng Arden be willing? This dog thing is treason and defection to the enemy, and he became a lobbyist for Chen Han. If it weren't for the utensils, he would have been cut with a thousand knives.

"Spare your life! …… Spare your life, ...... "Shu Yude was stunned, and begged for mercy.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die. Spare your life. ”

"The Qing Dynasty is over. Adults are more stubborn and foolish than to the end? There's a way to live better than anything else......"
