Chapter 62: Yangzhou Rebellion (2)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the early hours of the morning, gunfire rang out in Yangzhou City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rudder of the Cao Gang was next to the canal wharf, and dozens of Cao Gang members who were patrolling the night in front of the Cao Gang were killed, and then the twenty-four mixed soldiers swarmed in, opened the gate of the Cao Gang, and rushed in to kill people when they saw them, and for a while the rakshasas who came from hell were extremely fierce.

These veterans once followed Wang Yongtai to suppress bandits in SD, and knew the truth that killing the enemy would not be killed and being counterattacked, so they were extremely ruthless. But the Cao Gang is not vegetarian, they have always been fierce, and the Cao Gang, which is dominated by the people of northern Jiangsu, can last for hundreds of years, relying not on the mouth, but on the knife in their hands and the fierce heart of the knife in their hands.

The Cao gang always put their weapons under the pillow when they slept at night, and at this time they mistakenly thought that the bandits were attacking, and immediately picked up knives, guns and sticks and began to resist. But how could they be the opponents of the elite soldiers of the New Army, and after a while, all the people who resisted in the front row of the house were killed, and the flames broke out, but more Cao Gang rushed out.

Bang! Bang! Bang......

Another row of gangs fell in a pool of blood, and finally let the people of the Cao Gang know that they were afraid, nearly half of the Cao Gang saw the military uniforms on the opposite side, and immediately threw their weapons and knelt on the ground and did not dare to resist, and a small number of people turned around and fled.

"Capture Long Peifu alive!"

"Kill the traitor!"

"Except for the Cao Gang!"

"None of them will be left!"

Bang! Bang! Bang......

At first, the encirclement and suppression went very smoothly, but when they arrived at the headquarters of the Cao Gang, there was a sudden fierce resistance, and the Cao Gang had not been vegetarian for so many years, and they also raised a large number of dead soldiers. The Cao Gang has a great relationship with the geographical location of Yangzhou, and the tax silver, grain and salt in the south have always been transported by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the so-called Cao Gang is responsible for the operation of the Cao Yun gang, they were originally composed of a group of coolies, and then there were several conflicts of interest, and finally formed a larger gang.

As one of the most important hubs of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Yangzhou is naturally the place where gang fights are most intense. Nowadays, most of the tax burden of the imperial court has to repay the Gengzi indemnity and the loan of the Three Kingdoms to intervene to repay the Liao, so the tax silver transported to the north is less, so the Cao Gang gradually declines.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Wang Yongtai and Wang Yongan brothers have been thinking for many days, and finally planned well, gave the Cao Gang a thunderous blow, and successfully broke the Cao Gang rudder.

In addition to the accident, Long Peifu, the leader of the Cao Gang, actually hid a Makqin heavy machine gun in his house, and several dead soldiers with big pigtails shouted: "your grandma! Come on! Death, grandchildren, grandchildren! ”

"Dada...... Dada......da

The thumb-thick Maxim bullet swept towards the soldiers, and suddenly more than a dozen charging soldiers fell in a pool of blood, some were interrupted by the waist, and their intestines flowed all over the ground, and the dead were fine, and the ones who were not dead lay on the ground screaming, the road was smooth and smooth, where would you think that you would encounter a problem at this time.

This is Long Peifu's inner courtyard, the wall is three meters high, except for the main entrance, there is only one back door, but the back door is connected to the river, everyone can't get around, they can only be blocked at the main gate.

The soldiers were pressed to the ground by the Makqin bullet and couldn't get up, and Yang Zhenshan organized several charges that were repulsed, but he broke a few brothers. Wang Yongtai was also surprised, he didn't expect the other party to have such sharp weapons, and he only blamed himself for underestimating them before.

Luo Yinxian, the head of the quartermaster department, immediately recognized the other party's weapon and said, "Hell, it's a Japanese-style Makqin machine gun (machine guns were called machine guns in the Qing Dynasty). ”

The so-called Japanese-style Makqin machine gun is because during the Russo-Japanese War a few years ago, because the East did not attach importance to heavy machine guns, it was shot and killed by the Russian army in the Battle of Arthur, and even the two sons of the "God of War" Nogi Noshinori were killed in battle. After the end of the war, Toyo decided to equip the Makqin heavy machine gun, but due to the high cost of the Makqin heavy machine gun, Toyo decided to purchase the Makqin heavy machine gun manufacturing equipment under license. However, the embarrassing thing is that although Dongying won the Russo-Japanese War, the economy was exhausted, and in the end he did not buy the production rights of the Makqin heavy machine gun. Fortunately, they obtained a large number of Russian-made Maxim heavy machine guns on the battlefield, the Maxim heavy machine gun, so the Orientals began to imitate them, and the earliest Japanese-style Maxim heavy machine guns were formed.

Luo Yinxian suggested: "General, bring the cannon over, otherwise you won't be able to rush into the gate." ”

Wang Yongan, the adjutant commander of the pro-army team, was in charge of protecting Wang Yongtai's safety at this time, and he also said: "General, their heavy machine gun fire is too strong, and the brothers can't be sent to death in vain, they must use artillery." Then he said ecstatically: "The Cao Gang is in trouble this time, so if they don't want to die, they actually hide the machine guns, and I'm afraid the Yanyun Division won't be able to hold them back." "If the Cao Gang is hiding a rifle, it would be okay to say, but now the Cao Gang is actually hiding a Makqin heavy machine gun, which is a mortal crime. This is the same as in later generations, if someone has a shotgun hidden in their house, at most they are secretly hiding a firearm, but if someone has a cannon hidden in their house, good fellow, can this crime be small?

Wang Yongtai immediately ordered the artillery to be transferred to the Cao Gang rudder to bombard, and after the herald went down, he only heard Long Peifu shouting: "Bastard Wang Yongtai, you fucking dare to lead troops to kill me, grandpa wants you to taste grandpa's power today." Bastard, if you accept my money, you still dare to kill me, and grandpa will bring you to hell to be buried! ”

Wang Yongtai was furious and ordered the soldiers to shoot, and the Cao gang over there also began to fight back, and at the moment of life and death, some Cao Gang braves knew that taking a step back would be death, so they fought back, and shot back at the 24 Mixed Formation Association.

The guns on both sides were not lively, but they never charged each other, as if they were waiting for something.

Wang Yongxin became suspicious and said in a low voice: "Second brother, what are they waiting for?" Why don't you run yet? ”

Wang Yongtai frowned, but Feng Heng on the side said: "They should be waiting for the support of the thickening and fixed-word battalions." Wang Yongtai nodded at him, motioned to continue, Feng Heng said: "The Dingzi Battalion Management Belt is not in the Jinghui Temple Barracks now, and the Dingzi Battalion has no leader, so there is nothing to fear." But it's thickening, and someone needs to go and delay a thing or two, General, I'm willing to take someone there. ”

"Okay, Staff Officer Feng, you bring a shed of people, be sure to drag the thickening to me at the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division."

"Yes."

Feng Heng turned around and left with fifteen soldiers, and everyone turned around and continued to look at the gate, waiting for the arrival of the artillery. After a while, Yang Zhenshan ran back and reported with a sad face: "Thirty-seven brothers have died, general!" ”
