Chapter Ninety-Nine: Li He Attacks Neijiang

Li Tiehan was walking around a big guy at this time, knocking here and pulling there, his face was excited and surprised, and his eyes lit up as if he had seen a Xi Shi sable cicada taking a bath. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of Li Tiehan was the steam engine that Yang Dongfang had gotten from the southeast, the size of which was comparable to a thatched hut, and when it started the hula hula roared like a giant beast, it was so frightened that the people retreated and fell at first.

"Commander, this thing is really good, this impact is really big, and it will go down to ten of us with a hammer." After Li Tiehan discovered the benefits of the steam engine, he really couldn't put it down.

"Don't worry Uncle Li, I still have a few more of these things, all of them are for your assembly department, you can take someone to disassemble them, study them yourself, and after understanding the principle, design and make a new one yourself."

If you need to use the machine in the future, you can use the steam engine to do it, which not only saves time, but also makes it easy to use. "One of the main purposes of Yang Dongfang's return to the mountain is to let the general assembly department develop, and the consumption of military products in the future is very large, and the current general assembly is a bit small.

For example, this time, the grenade mines produced by the final assembly were basically used up.

And the demand for it will be even greater, especially for guns, which he is desperate to produce himself, depending on how much he can capture.

"By the way, Uncle Li, this time, there is one more thing, which is to tell you that in the future, all craftsmen will be divided into levels, and the level of craftsmanship will be divided into high and low levels, a total of ten levels, like you are level 8 craftsmen, the treatment of the head of the leader, or the treatment of the county magistrate."

"Ahh This.. This.. Is it true? Commander! Li Tiehan was shocked, he couldn't believe that the level 8 craftsman was the county magistrate, so if he became level 9 and level 10 in the future, wouldn't he be comparable to the prefect governor, which was unimaginable.

Officer! That's the treatment that only scholars have, and the common people will die of this heart.

"Naturally, in the future, all the industries under the rule of my New People's Army, as long as he has made significant contributions to the New People's Army and his skills are extraordinary, he can directly grant the corresponding treatment, and in the future, our officials will not be those nerds who can only lift birds and dogs, and only know Yunyun and shake their heads, but elites from all walks of life, you are the official manager of which industry you are, and these officials must be experts." Yang Dongfang said.

"The things that laymen lead insiders will not happen in the future."

However, Li Tiehan didn't listen to what Dong Yang Dongfang said, and only understood that even if he struck iron, he could become an official, so as long as he did what Yang Dongfang did in the future, he would definitely have a chance, and he didn't care, as long as his sons could be presentable.

Of course, Yang Dongfang also got a lot of machines and new gadgets purchased in Shanghai and Hong Kong for the assembly department, and they were slowly studied by the assembly personnel.

Zixian, Liangjiang Headquarters, Conference Hall.

"How is the recruitment of the 5th Regiment of Xinyun?"

"Commander, only one battalion has been recruited now." Lan Xinyun, the former commander of the 9th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, has now been appointed as the commander of the 5th Regiment and has been transferred from the 3rd Regiment to form the 5th Regiment, and he replied quite awkwardly.

Li He was a little unhappy, the boss gave him a bunch of empty formations, and now even the minimum 5 regiments have only one battalion framework, when can he attack Neijiang at this speed, he knows that the boss will not send troops to him, the four command centers, each with its own things.

The four commanders counted him the most depressed, and the boss didn't send people, so he transferred the 8th battalion out of the third regiment, so that only the 3rd battalion in his hands could fight.

"What's going on, it's been days."

Lan Xinyun knew Li He's temper, so he explained clearly: "The people near Zixian who are willing to follow our New People's Army have been recruited, commander, you know, our New People's Army has developed in this area at the beginning, and it has been expanded several times, and it has almost recruited the kind and simple farmers in Zizhou, and the rest are either slippery and we can't look down on them, or they are old, weak, and sick, and there is. . . The people who hope to get paid for the military. ”

Listening to Lan Xinyun's words, Li He couldn't get into a seizure, because he knew that this was the truth, the New People's Army first started from Sanying Village, and the master wanted to face Zixian, Yang Dongfang crossed the Tuojiang River several times last year, and recruited a lot of people from this area.

"Regiment commander, either you ask the commander-in-chief for instructions, and we will also start an army and recruit people." Lan Xinyun didn't fold, he preferred to form a full 5 regiments, but before he finished speaking, Li He waved his hand and vetoed it:

"Start recruiting the army, then forget it, the commander-in-chief said, our team is first of all a team that is willing to rejuvenate China, willing to sacrifice their lives, and defend their dignity, our new people's army is a strong army that relies on discipline and Xinghua faith, those who want to get rich and want to be promoted are first put aside, and the people who take military salaries are almost the same as sappers, and they are looking for death when they get into the main force."

"Understood, Commander." Lan Xinyun pinched the Han for himself, the New People's Army does not send a military sound, it is a bit like the Taiping Army and other rebel armies, but the New People's Army will pay a settlement fee in advance before going up the mountain

Engineers, there is one under his own command, and it is also adapted from the militia group, to say that only this engineer in his own hands is the worst, like the engineer regiment of the first division, that is the engineer who can be the main force.

Li He thought for a while and finally said: "Regardless of it, I will set off tomorrow to attack Neijiang City, and we will play first." ”

Although Yang Dongfang has never said that he wants to take Neijiang as soon as possible, Li He is anxious, if he doesn't get Neijiang done in a day, his Erjiang headquarters doesn't sound like that, and there is only one Zixian a few days ago.

In the end, he directly scattered the battalion recruited by Lan Xinyun and incorporated it into the third regiment, and transferred Lan Xinyun's 9th battalion back to the third regiment.

Moreover, the artillery regiment of the first division is still in his hands, which gives him some confidence in attacking the city.

Following! The banner was unfurled, the drums were thundering, and the Tuojiang headquarters attacked Neijiang and pushed it directly to the city, and the defenders in the city did not dare to go out of the city to engage in the battle, and they held the city gate to the death, and they were frightened for so many days, and the time to come finally came.

There are not many defenders in the city, about 5,000 people, of which only 2,000 can fight, and the rest are the temporary militia and the courtyard team of the inferior gentry and bully.

The New People's Army has long spread the word that as long as it is not a bad gentry bully, after breaking the city, the New People's Army will not commit any crime in the autumn, and the other landlords are convinced of this, because Xuzhou is Liezi, and the same is true of other counties.

The reputation of the New People's Army can still be trusted, so some landlords are dragging their feet on defending the city, and donating materials, money and food is also half-pushed, so they give a little bit of money and call Huazi.

The first step of attacking the city was to clear the towns and villages near Neijiang, and the second step was to besiege the city, and the Tuojiang Engineer Regiment and the Zizhou Security Regiment were all pulled to the front line.

In the third step, Li He asked Lan Xinyun to run directly to Fushun (Zigong) with two battalions, which is the big salt field area, and there are as many as 50,000 or 60,000 salt workers.

The 9th and 11th battalions quickly defeated several landlords' militias guarding here and captured Fushun, and the salt workers in Zigong cheered when they saw that the New People's Army was coming again.

This time, there were as many as 20,000 people who wanted to join the New People's Army, and Lan Xinyun was not polite, so he picked 10,000 strong people from them, and then dragged them to Neijiang City.

After Li He received the news, he did even more desperately, directly divided the 10,000 people into 10 teams, each team prepared more flags, and played a certain regiment and a certain regiment, and the formation of 1,000 people was relatively open, and the teams were separated from each other to Neijiang City, but they were not too close.

This creates the effect of a large army besieging the city.

Sure enough, a few guards in the city didn't know the situation, and watched the continuous reinforcements of the New People's Army from a distance, panic and fear, and the heart of cowardice was good for words.

"There must be 30,000 or 40,000 new bandits, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the city will be attacked."

Black Eagle is also sandwiched among these guards, he is now half a general, there are more than 800 people under him, and the officials in the city have also helped him to invite the generals to Chengdu, and there will be documents coming over soon.

But that's it, he is not optimistic about Neijiang's defense, and he also said: "My lords are very right, I think the New People's Army has thirteen regiments, and the number of people in one regiment is as little as 1,67, and as many as 2,000, and at least there must be 25,000." ”

"What, at least twenty-five thousand." When everyone just said that there were 30,000 or 40,000 people in the New People's Army, they were actually making excuses for themselves, and now they are even more shocked when they hear the figures that rely on the general population.

There is a cloud in the art of war, ten are to surround it, five are to attack it, the new people's army is almost really going to attack the city, and now there is no master general in the city, each fighting for itself, no one obeys anyone, and how to defend the city.

"So, my lords, we should make a plan ahead of time, lest we end up in prison and not be able to escape." Black Eagle is not afraid of being listened to by others, let alone the civil officials of the prefect in the city, anyway, he doesn't want to die, he understands that as long as he has someone in his hands, others will not dare to do anything to him.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they secretly said that this Li Hongye is too bold, is it really good to run away so blatantly?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the new bandits only used one regiment to defeat my family Tang Lord, and finally ended up with an unknown life and death, tens of thousands of troops were destroyed, what do you think of us, the new bandits' cannons can easily tear down the camp, I think this city wall is not much stronger, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken."

Black Hawk has seen the power of the new cannon, and it is still fresh in his memory, and he feels a chill down his spine when he thinks about it, and the New People's Army is more powerful than before.

Referring to Tang Yougeng's fate, everyone also trembled, the feeling of being overwhelmed, the dignified Admiral was defeated by the new bandits like this, we are not opponents, it is better to plan early, someone said: "Brother Li wants to do it." ”

"The new bandits either don't attack, they will plow the court and sweep the holes with one attack, and conquer Neijiang City with one blow, never leave people a chance, and most of them attack the city at night, this has to be guarded, if it's right, it's not tonight or tomorrow night, the new bandits will inevitably attack, then we are not in a hurry to go, it's best that we retreat quietly tonight."

The one who knows each other the most, sometimes his own enemies, has the most dealings with the Black Hawk of the New People's Army, and understands it the most, he said it head-to-head, everyone also nodded, and finally there was still a trace of doubt:

"Brother Li must have forgotten, the boat is still in the hands of Lord Zhong, without his order, those fishermen would not be willing to cross the river in the middle of the night.

"This is not in the way, I will go and tell Lord Zhong later, in order to prevent the new bandits from crossing the river from upstream, attacking the dock, and attacking from my rear, we must send people to guard against it, and then we will seize the boat, if anyone dares not to cooperate, directly." Black Hawk made a murderous gesture, and everyone thought so, nodded and smiled grimly.

The world is big, and you are the biggest.
