Chapter 514: Willing to Die

And just when the second division and the instructor allied forces arrived in Yan'an Fucheng, a team of troops composed of Shanxi's Fu Han army also drove to the northernmost part of Shaanxi, Yulin Prefecture, the southeasternmost of Jiazhou, outside the fox village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is also a Suide between Yulin Mansion and Yan'an Mansion, with the Great Wall on the left and the Yellow River on the right, and the terrain is in a triangular shape.

Jiazhou is located in the southeast of Yulin Province, bordering Suide's rice fat in the south, and facing Linxian County in Shanxi across the Yellow River in the west.

This place seems to have a nice name, but in fact the territory is a series of hills, and there are two main mountain ranges in the state: one enters from Yulin from the northwest, along the bank of the Jialu River, and extends more than 200 miles to the southeast in the county seat; The other starts from Yuyang and Mizhi, and tends to the northwest and southwest. There are many scattered mountain ranges, which are crisscrossed with two mountain ranges, ravines, streams, slopes, beams, and ravines, and the terrain is extremely complex.

The population of Jiazhou is less than 70,000, and the total amount of cultivated land is less than 250,000 mu. Before the Fu Han army did not raise troops, the average yield per mu of Jiazhou was less than four buckets, and it was a well-known poor place in the whole of Shaanxi. Drought is the biggest enemy to the development of agriculture and the continuation of people's livelihood.

Shanxi's Fu Han army came from Linxian County, which was located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, on the west side of Luliang Mountain on the Loess Plateau in western Shanxi Province, and was the most populous county in the Luliang region. Because the road in Shanxi was too difficult, the number of Fu Han troops who appeared on the other side of the Yellow River in the village was not large, less than 4,000 people.

But this has made the entire Jiazhou panic and people's hearts shake.

For the Fu Han army in Shanxi, the continuous mountains and difficult supplies were more difficult enemies to deal with than the Qing army on the opposite side, but for the Qing army in Jiazhou, the Fu Han army suddenly killed from here, instead of going through the grassland and knocking on the Yulin Pass, which was shocking.

The Fu Han Army, which appeared outside the Fox Village, was composed of a cavalry battalion, a baggage battalion, a reinforced regiment and accompanying artillery. There are only twelve cannons, and there are twelve mortars, but each cannon has less than a hundred shells.

The bullets, grenades, etc., in the hands of the soldiers, are also only about two bases.

In the ranks of the Fu Han Army, the latest reserve unit, paper bullets are 50 rounds a base, and grenades are 5 rounds a base.

The only thing they could be happy with was that the Qing army on the opposite side had to face a 'two-sided attack'. Their appearance here is itself an extremely headache for the Qing army.

Moreover, the newly formed Second Cavalry Brigade has bypassed the Mu Us Desert and is about to drive from outside the Saiwai to the left side of Yulin Mansion. When a large force of cavalry of the Fu Han army appeared on Ndolbai Mountain, it violently touched the nerves of the Qing army. The latter will suddenly realize at that time that it is not that the Fu Han army did not take Yulin Pass, but that the people have not yet arrived.

Shaanxi is actually suffering from many enemies. Chen Ming didn't need to really fight, as long as the army moved and behaved, the Qing army's clenched fists had to be scattered. Then they're going to be finished.

Twenty miles south of Yan'an, the headquarters of the main army of the South Road of the Fuhan Army is located.

It was a small mansion with more than a dozen blue brick houses, spacious, clean, and not luxurious, but it was a rare and good place in this poor and remote place. It was originally the house of a local rich man, but now it has been requisitioned. The latter was not liquidated, and the house was requisitioned by the Fu Han army, and they were all grateful.

Twenty miles is located in the south of Yan'an City, and an official road leads directly to Yan'an Fucheng.

Don't underestimate the twenty-mile road, it's okay to rush and fight along the official road, but in order to annihilate the Qing army in Yan'an as much as possible, Gao Pingshan also sent troops to advance from the mountains on the left and right. Although the Qing army under Haiyin guarded the south of Yan'an with key troops, they also wanted to defend the mountains and mountains on the left and right one after another but lacked troops, and the continuous mountains and ravines also made the Fu Han army outflanked on both flanks tired like dogs.

This place is a plain except for the city area, and the other places are one mountain after another, and the flat land is almost nothing, which is a typical hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau. The population of the entire Yan'an Fucheng is about the same as that of the vast Jiazhou, with towns and villages, a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people. For such a large area, it can be seen how bad the living environment is.

Standing at the command post, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield in the distance can be faintly heard, and the defense force here is very sufficient. In addition to the garrison of a regiment, there was also a garrison battalion in the headquarters, each of the latter with handcuffs, as well as artillery and rocket units, and the firepower was strong enough to ensure the safety of Gao Pingshan and everyone in the headquarters.

Thirty miles away from Twenty Lipu and ten miles away is the military reserve of the Fu Han Army, and the interval between the two is very short, so they can take care of each other.

At dawn every day, the entire 20-mile shop was boiling, and thousands of officers and soldiers went out for drills. The voice shouted loudly and coldly!

At this time, Gao Pingshan would wear a military uniform and lead a few personal guards to the side to watch the exercise.

And just when the Fu Han army seized the time to attack Yan'an Fucheng, in the westernmost section of the Fujing border, which was 200 miles away from Yan'an, a large army was advancing along the official road to Ningxia Mansion in the west.

The cyan gown and the earthy color almost blended together, and the yellow dust covered the sky where the team passed, looking from afar. Like an earth dragon, rolling down.

This is the main force of the Qing army led by Yongying, while leaving the sea seal to stick to Yan'an, Yongying has already rushed to Ningxia Mansion with the team as early as a gecko with a broken tail to survive.

Because the movement of the Fu Han army was too fast, this army was also in a hurry to go west. The infantry mixed with the mules and horses, and the people shouted and neighed, and there was a boil.

At this moment, Yongying was riding on a white horse, standing on the dirt slope by the roadside, with a hint of imperceptible decadence on his face, looking down at the troops driving in front of him, surrounded by his generals and relatives. A soldier in the Eight Banners galloped in on horseback, handed a messenger to a guard at the bottom of the dirt slope, and then turned his horse's head and galloped away.

The guards immediately handed the letter to Yongying.

"Yulin Mansion reported urgently, Shanxi Chen Wei made a big move, one line of soldiers and horses and Jiazhou across the Yellow River, and the other cavalry has reached Ordos."

Yongying's face didn't seem to react, but the color in her eyes became even stronger.

"Boom ......"

The sound of shells, the splash of rubble, the collapse of earth. But this cannon sound like a series of thunderstorms did not suppress the brave shouts of the soldiers. The Great Wall outside Yulin City has been brought down by the Fu Han army without a fight, there is no continuous war between the Manchu Qing and Mongolia, the Great Wall has lost its most basic role, it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and the sand and soil are piled up in many places, and the horses can enter directly from the outside of the plug.

The Qing army in Yulin also directly gave up the plan to block the second cavalry brigade outside the Great Wall, and the battle between the two sides began in the mountainous area northwest of Yulin City, from Zhenbeitai to Hongshi Gorge.

"Blow up that fire point for me! Blow it up for me—"

The Fuhan armies in Linxian and Yan'an were both short of arms, and the arms of the Second Cavalry Brigade were even more tense, and they bypassed the great desert from Shanxi to the west side of Shaanxi, with an interval of more than 1,000 miles, so how many arms could they carry with them? Moreover, the second cavalry brigade was converted from cavalry to infantry after arriving in Yulin. Are they going to attack the city?

Now in a mountainside depression, more than a dozen soldiers of the Fu Han Army are lying here, and one of the officers at the head looks at the epaulettes and is a sergeant. In this mountain offensive and defensive battle, the battlefield is small, and the investment of troops on both sides is limited, and a non-commissioned officer or battalion deputy is already the supreme commander of the battlefield strength.

Now the sergeant was yelling at a sergeant major who was two positions behind him. The sergeant was in his mid-thirties, with a rank of first sergeant major, and a thick bag of explosives in the crook of his right arm. The explosive bag was supposed to be carried behind him, but when he charged, it would be blocked by fire from the top of the mountain, so the sergeant major shifted the explosive bag from his back to the crook of his right arm. Because of the height, the explosive bag was hit by a bullet, and everyone in this pothole was doomed.

After the sergeant major heard the sergeant's shout, his eyes immediately froze, being able to sit on the sergeant major, there may be a problem with his cultural level, but his own military skills are absolutely first-class. The next cat's waist rushed out, the weight of the gunpowder bag was twenty catties, and it seemed to be nothing under his hands, as long as it could reach the pillbox, it would definitely blow up the entire pillbox.

The snipers farther away aimed their rifled guns at the left and right of the bunkers, and any Qing soldiers who dared to show their heads would be shot and killed immediately.

The sergeant major threw grenades forward from time to time as he crawled and rolled, and the smoke and dust obscured the vision ahead. And he would take advantage of the gap to go from place to place.

The sergeant jumped to his feet, took the musket with the bayonet in his hand, and was the first to take the lead and rush to the top of the hill with a shout......

This was just an inconspicuous battle in the Yulin offensive of the Fu Han army. Although the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, which had become infantry, did a lot of military tricks very clumsy, as long as it worked.

From Zhenbeitai to Hongshi Gorge, the Qing army was defeated again and again on a mountain road for more than ten miles, and soon retreated to Yulin City. And the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, which had rushed through the pass, was obviously not going to let the boiled duck run away.

Of course, the city of Yan'an was broken, and the seal of the sea was also dead. As the loyal and good of Daqingguo, Haiyin would rather die himself than be attacked in Yan'an. If Yan'an is not broken for a day, he will be able to cover the main force for a longer time. But the sky did not follow people's wishes, and Yan'an City did not drag on for two days, and it fell completely. He himself didn't see where Da Qingguo's fate went, and he died in Yan'an.

The first thing the Fu Han army did after seizing Yan'an was to transfer the medical battalion to the residential areas of the city and properly settle them. And, of course, sheltering your own wounded on the battlefield.

"Brother, give my brother a good time, help ......"

The battle is over. Medics and soldiers of the Fu Han Army are cleaning up the battlefield. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old medical battalion apprentice was looking at a non-commissioned officer lying in a pool of blood in front of him in a panic.

"Big brother, you hurt ...... You don't necessarily want to die, you, don't think about it......" The little soldier was about to cry.

"Brother, the two brothers are gone, and they are a waste when they go home. Twenty acres of land with one life, it's worth it. There are still two cubs in my brother's house, and I can't break it. You're going to do my brother a favor......"

The non-commissioned officer's eyes were very clear, he was not confused by the pain, he knew what he was talking about, he was bent on begging for death! Because in his opinion, this time he will get a greater benefit for his family.

Since the capture of Beijing by the Han army last year, although Nanjing has not been proclaimed emperor, a major reorganization is indispensable. Not to mention how much the treatment of the local government and the garrison has increased, but there have been new changes in the treatment of the main force alone.

First of all, the family property of the martyrs was absolutely protected. It's not that the bereaved family can't remarry, but if they remarry, they can't take away a little bit of property. Unless the martyr has no heirs, and the surviving family remarries after three years of filial piety, then a little property can be taken away. If you don't remarry, you can continue to enjoy everything you used to have. If the martyr still has parents and is supported by the bereaved family, all the family property belongs to the bereaved family.

It can be said that the interests of the immediate family members of the martyrs have been guaranteed to a great extent.

There are also new regulations on the treatment and placement of veterans and disabled soldiers.

All the officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Dynasty, after retiring, in addition to the military merit points, can be divided into a minimum of five acres and a maximum of five hundred acres of land [soldiers to marshals] according to their own rank and contribution - the table during the enlistment period of the army. Seriously injured and disabled officers and soldiers, taking the soldiers with the lowest rank and the largest number as examples, can be given land ranging from 5 to 20 acres according to the degree of disability.

The minimum land limit for a non-commissioned officer is ten acres of land, and his legs are no longer good, which is an absolute severe disability, and he can get about twenty or thirty acres of land after being discharged from the army. But if he dies on the battlefield, the pension will at least be doubled. The gap of a few acres of land in the middle made the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Army who did not know how many would rather die on the battlefield than return to their hometowns crippled.

The conscience of heaven and earth, when Chen Ming asked the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to formulate such regulations, he didn't think of it at all, right? If he could have thought of this situation earlier, then if he threw out the new changes, the shadow area in his heart would be too large. That was 'forcing' the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level to fight bravely for Chen Han's fearless life and death.

But the reality is like this, for the vast majority of soldiers of the Fu Han Army, if their lives can be exchanged for a few more acres, a dozen acres or even dozens of acres of land at home, then many, many people would really rather die than enter the medical camp.

If you die after being treated in the medical camp, it is not considered a death on the battlefield, and the pension will be heavily discounted.

Since the announcement of the new treatment changes in the Fuhan Army, the battles have clearly shown that the proportion of dead soldiers in the army and the proportion of severely disabled soldiers are rapidly reversing, the former is increasing, and the latter is decreasing in a straight line!

The Fu Han army swept the world, and the massive land confiscated and collected by the local authorities has always been the greatest reliance on the combat effectiveness of the Fu Han army. The emergence of military cooperatives has also enabled the officers and men at the grassroots level to have a proper and reassuring resettlement of their own land. Even because they have to understand the annual or quarterly financial revenue and expenditure notices, many people have been forced to turn their wood-like brains to study words and mathematics hard, so that even the people have been driven by this trend, and the promotion of the School of Mathematics and Finance has obviously been smoothed a lot.

That's how a lot of things come about.

There is a saying in a previous life that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest, occasionally flapping its wings, may cause a tornado in Texas, USA. It's called the butterfly effect! In Chinese, it is a bit of a rush to the whole body.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is very appropriate to put it on Chen Ming. It's just that he is not an insignificant butterfly, but a divine dragon that spans thousands of miles, and his every move will really affect the whole world and have a huge impetus for the entire society.

It's like the land bonds, like the military cooperatives that are gradually becoming demutualized in the company. One of his actions may only be aimed at one thing, but the real explosion of influence can cover an infinite number of times.

Just like the bulletproof glass that was pierced by the steel core bullet, the bullet only hit one point, and the purpose was to penetrate this point, but the 'vibration' it caused could make the whole bulletproof glass crack into a spider web around that point! (To be continued.) )
