Chapter 61: The Iron Mountain War

There are countless uninhabited islands in Hong Kong, and when the spring is cold, British patrol gunboats do not often cruise, let alone come to this remote island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For seven days in a row, gunshots rang out on the island, and the nearby seabirds were scared to the point of disappearing.

Dozens of tents were set up in the forest of Panic Island, and more than 60 people were standing with guns at this time, and there was still gunsmoke in the air.

"After seven days of training, everyone has mastered the use of the Mini rifle, and now we will switch to another more advanced rifle, and I hope everyone will master it as soon as possible."

The person who lectured was Yang Dongfang, and while the affairs in Hong Kong had not yet been completed, he pulled the guard platoon to the island of no one and trained everyone to use a new type of musket.

With that, he opened the wooden box, took out the Sharps rifle, and handed one to each of them.

"Divisional commander! What kind of gun is this, it looks as if it is even better than the original one. ”

Although Bai Li is a daughter, she has a man-like desire for a gun, so she put down the Minnie rifle in her hand, stretched it out and walked over, took a Sharps, and her peach-like little face was very happy.

"Stand upright!"

"All of them! Now I'm going to teach you how to use Sharps, you remember, this kind of gun is reloaded with ammunition at the back, you have to pull the bolt on it first, like this, and then stuff the bullet in, and push the bolt back again. ”

"The advantage of this gun is that it can be reloaded at will, even if you are lying on the ground. So.. ”

The use of the Sharps rifle did not rush to let everyone shoot live, but talked about some knowledge of the breech gun, and maintenance precautions, and also talked about its advantages and disadvantages, as well as other very heavy things.

It was this breech-loading gun that brought about a change in firing posture and a change in tactics that were more traditional in firing in a platoon, especially a skirmisher assault.

In the subsequent training, Yang Dongfang got the armed merchant ship out again, and while groping, he led everyone to play with this kind of boiler ship.

Just when Yang Dongfang was training the guard platoon, the situation began to become tense in Tieshan, Sichuan.

After turning into spring, the Qing army, which had prepared for a winter, finally began to move.

The grain and grass in the rear were ready, Wanyan Chongshi brought 2,000 full flag soldiers and 3,000 green flags, and 5,000 militia groups crossed the Minjiang River from Meizhou to Tieshan.

Although he agreed to finish Yan Chongshi to fight the New People's Army, Luo Bingzhang still made second-hand preparations, and he ordered Tang Yougeng to be the assistant and brought 10,000 people to attack in the south of Tieshan.

"According to the report, the Qing soldiers have amassed 2,000 troops in each of the six counties around us, and with the addition of militia groups near the county seats, each county has 3,000 to 4,000 troops deployed.

After hearing about it in the north, Yan Chongshi brought 10,000 troops over, and in the south, there were 10,000 Qing troops under the control of Tang butchers, and the total number of Qing troops was less than 40,000, and it was claimed that 80,000 troops attacked our Tieshan. ”

Hong Ming of the Military Intelligence Department briefly reported the situation.

"The one in the north will set off a day earlier, Wanyan Chongshi estimates that Baofei has already passed, and his combat intention is obvious, so he will take back the Lianjie field first, so as to boost morale and get off to a good start."

Except for the monk and Li He, everyone was a little worried, the boss was not on the mountain, how to fight the battle, whether to attack or defend, and they were gossiping for a while.

"Then we don't want to defend the Lianjie Field and the New Field, so that we don't have enough troops."

"If you want to guard the boundary field, then the new field in the south must also be guarded, otherwise the Tang butcher will come from Weiyuan to kill!"

"The new field is not of much value, the boundary field is more important, and the boundary field is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a hammer to use, people don't fight at all, they surround it directly, and they will kill you, it's not that you haven't seen the shameless tricks of the Hunan army."

"Don't be noisy, it's noisy, and everyone plays a board. Let's listen to Zeng's analysis first. The monk slapped the table, his eyes widened, he was considered an elder, and he was one of the deputy division commanders, with enough prestige, and with a roar, they all quieted down.

His gaze swept over everyone, and he was straight in his heart, the eldest brother is good at everything, but he shouldn't call the squad leaders below every time he has a meeting, and he also said that he should form a habit, which is conducive to future development.

What do these bunnies know?

But although he saw it, he still did it, this is something to say, Yang Dongfang's instructions.

Zeng Shihe smiled and beckoned everyone to relax, he had seen a lot of scenes like this before, and those old brothers in the past often fought for some disagreements in front of the Wing King.

Clearing his throat, his face became formal and serious:

"We can't even defend the boundary field, even if we can defend it, we can't defend it, you must know that our advantage is that we are familiar with the mountains, why Division Commander Yang has been emphasizing that everyone should practice this off-road, isn't it just to improve everyone's mobility and fight guerrilla hemp."

"According to the analysis of the situation, coupled with the prompts of Division Commander Yang before leaving the mountain, we can set a tone and defend the east and fight in the west." As he spoke, Zeng Shihe drew a line on the map, which was connected from the boundary field to the new field, just dividing the entire Iron Mountain into east and west halves.

The eastern half is the Black Mountain Tsui, and it is close to Tang Yougeng, so it is not suitable to move, and the west side is the main battlefield, and the flag general of Wanyan Chongshi is entangled.

In the early action to eliminate the non-existing forces in Tieshan, Yang Dongfang secretly asked people to draw a topographic map of the entire mountainous area, where there are paths, where the area is dangerous, and at the same time ordered the people below to study it compulsorily, so the main tone of this anti-encirclement and suppression is guerrilla warfare.

The west side is not the original business area of the New People's Army, and it is broken, and there is less distress.

The fat man also nodded at this time and said: "That's right, before the division commander left, we had already prepared, our purpose was to keep the Black Mountain Mouth intact, and then to train the soldiers and improve the actual combat ability of the soldiers, and when he returned to the mountain, he saw a strong army, not a group of rabble, so I support Lord Zeng's statement." ”

said so to Zeng Shihe and Li He, who was in the most urinating pot, and everyone had no opinions.

"Since Lian Jiechang wants it so much, we can give it to him, his strikers are only a few thousand, and he dares to break in arrogantly, then we have to beat him first." Speaking of combat deployment, this is the Guan Blind who belongs to Iron Thirteen, his big eyes swept over everyone, and everyone stood up.

"Inform the engineer battalion of the Daolian Boundary Field, dig a corner for me, and the rest of the departments will be transferred to the surrounding areas of the Lian Boundary Field, except for a few surveillance guards, and I will give him a Mount Tai to press."

Wanyan Chongshi's vanguard drove to the Lianjie Field, and had done a good job of learning the shameless tactics of the Hunan army, digging deep trenches, and besieging the new bandits with many tree walls, but the Qing army found that the Lianjie Field was empty, the city hole was wide open, and two flags with blood-red characters were planted on the wall and fluttered in the wind.

On the one hand, it reads: hard work, welcome, no one in the city, no poison in the water.

On one side, it is written: The poor do not fight the poor, our army treats prisoners preferentially, and the surrender is 1 tael.

The leading flag general looked at his subordinates, and then burned the flag, except to check whether the well water was poisoned, he didn't take it too seriously, just regarded it as a spoof of the New People's Army, and then settled in the New Territories Field and announced the liberation.

Then he wrote a gorgeous battle report, and after half a day of hard fighting, he won the Lianjie field, annihilated the enemy, and wrote the signature of the daimyo Kuaima North to ask for merit.

At night, the mountain breeze is slightly Buddha, and even the black shadows outside the field are crowded, although the Qing army has arranged a lot of sentry posts, and the Qing generals are also a little vigilant, the victory comes too quickly, and they feel that it is inappropriate, but relying on the strength of their own 3,000 troops, they will not pay too much attention, and they will not arrange soldiers outside the city, and they will be horns for each other.

Naturally, I don't know why the dark shadow outside came, and just after the hour, there was a snoring sound in the city.

The Qing soldiers had already fallen asleep, and when they were fighting with the daughter of Zhou Gong for three hundred rounds in their dreams, a loud bang woke everyone up, and the earthquake from the ground shook with the sound, causing the mud on the wall to fall to the ground with a clatter.

"What's going on!"

"Just made Hazi! Ge Lao Zidi,I thought it was a thief shaking the bed.。。 ”

The Qing soldiers came out of the barracks one after another, and there were shouts of killing from the bottom of the mountain, and countless torches flickered in the darkness, constantly pouring towards this side.

"Oh no, the wall collapsed, it was blown up by the New People's Army."

"The bandits are in, run, they have a lot of cannons."

"Hammer! Which cannon is so hot, the wall is blinded by a single shot. ”

The Qing army did not know that the Qing people's army dug out the wall in the air the day before yesterday, buried explosives in it and buried it in the ground with bamboo pipes, and pulled the fire rope to a certain outside the city.

At this time, the 2nd regiment rushed in with a sharp knife as the main force, trying to block the Qing soldiers in front of them, and they were cut down one after another, and the first regiment protected the only musket battalion below to follow steadily behind, carrying out long-range support and deterrence.

The Corps of Engineers was in the rear, and they fought with the wind, and the lone and small units were cleared by them, and more often than not, they were receiving prisoners who had surrendered on the ground.
