Chapter 40: Autumn Hunt in Taipei (3)

Seeing that the sailor battalion was deserted and fled, the Qing army in the Huwei Fort collapsed at once, and they all ran down the city with a "bang".

"Bastard, asshole!"

Chen Yiqing was angry, he wanted to stop the rout, but he was hit by a few flying gravels, and sat on the ground, covered in blood.

"Quick, save the adults!" One always led a few people to carry Chen Yiqing down the city tower.

"Let go of the old man!" Chen Yiqing completely ignored the pain on his body, and pushed away the support of the soldiers, "Hurry up, quickly increase the sub-medicine of that thousand-pound cannon, increase the sub-medicine!" ”

The commander always led a few brave Qing soldiers to the gun position of the red-coated cannon in the smoke of gunpowder, and the others ignored Chen Yiqing's struggle and carried him to a safe place under the fort.

After a while, I heard an earth-shattering sound from the fort, and thick black smoke came out of the fort.

"There are too many medicines, and the red-clothed cannon is blown up!"

"It's over, the fort can't be saved, let's run!"

Chen Yiqing, who was under the city, heard the explosion, his face turned gray and gray all of a sudden, raised his hand and pointed to the fort on the city tower, and directly fell down and swallowed.

Chen Yiqing was out of breath, and no one in the entire fort had the heart to continue fighting, and everyone fled out, and ran in the direction of Monga after getting off Datun Mountain.

The front finger had been closely watching the movement of the Huwei Fort, and when he saw the smoke rising from the fort, Wang Tiehammer immediately ordered the Qinglong to rush to the beach and land.

The landing of the Qinglong went smoothly, and as soon as the hatch was opened, Huang Pengfei rushed ashore with his heavily armed brothers.

Huang Pengfei was the company commander of the third company of the fourth battalion, and under his command, more than 100 soldiers lined up in battle formation according to the three-three system and quickly approached Datun Mountain. As soon as the artillery of the Ming army stopped, the soldiers rushed into the battery with bright bayonets.

The Qing troops on the fort had already run in the direction of Monga, leaving only a dozen wounded who were seriously wounded and could not move.

"Chase!"

Huang Pengfei left a platoon of troops to control the fort and occupy Huwei Street. He took the other two platoons and chased them in the direction of Monga.

On the Tamsui River, four coast guard boats were left at the mouth of the river to carry out the guard duty, and Chen Yu personally took the remaining six boats, fighting cold guns and cold bullets all the way, and marched hand in hand with the army troops.

At the mouth of the Tamsui River, after the Ming army captured Huwei, it advanced by land and water, pursued all the way to Guandu, and entered the Taipei Basin after passing Guandu.

Guandu is an important endpoint of the Taipei Basin, the shape of the Taipei Basin is like a triangle, bounded by the Datunshan volcanic group in the north, the remaining veins of the Datunshan volcanic group extend to the south here, and the distance between the foothills and the Tamsui River is only more than 200 meters.

Guandu is also an important ferry port in the lower reaches of the Tamsui River, from Huwei to Guandu fifteen miles, and from Guandu to Monga is also fifteen miles.

The Tamsui River has three main tributaries, the Dahan River, the Xindian River and the Keelung River. Monga is located at the confluence of Dahan Creek and Xindian Creek, and the meandering Keelung River flows into the Tamsui River from here.

The pursuit of the Ming army was too fast, and more than 100 Qing soldiers were blocked on the north bank of the Keelung River by coast guard ships before they could cross the river.

In front of the big river, there are still the warships of the Ming army on the river, and there are pursuers in the back, and the Qing soldiers have listened to the shouts, kneeling on the bank with their hands raised.

There are also a few soldiers who want to go east, to the reeds deep in the riverbank.

"Tuk Tuk!"

The M240G machine gun on the bow of the coast guard ship fired, and pieces of reeds were torn off waist-high.

Frightened, the Qing army all obediently raised their hands and honestly became prisoners.

Huang Pengfei led the troops to arrive in time, and together with the capture on the road, a total of more than 150 Qing prisoners were captured. Chen Yu immediately sent two ships to escort these many captives back to Huwei.

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the platoon that kept Huwei also followed in time. Huang Pengfei's troops all gathered at the ferry beach in Guandu to prepare lunch.

This side of Guandu is a natural wetland with endless reeds. The warriors were quick with their hands and feet, and soon they cut down many reeds, and piled bonfires were raised on the banks of the river, and the flatbreads and bags of fish balls were taken out of their knapsacks, and then chiselled with iron chisels, and roasted on the fire.

"Huang Pengfei, you raise a few more bonfires."

Seeing the raging flames, Chen Yu suddenly remembered that there were still fish on the boat. Just now, the coast guard boat was in charge of guarding the mouth of the river, and the soldiers could not be idle, so they put down a lot of hooks into the water, and in half an hour, they caught a lot of fish, which were fresh to the bone.

The coast guard took down two large boxes of fish from the boat and distributed them to everyone one by one to roast and eat. The cooking class also set up a large pot and cooked delicious fish soup.

Chen Yu skewered a fish with an iron chisel, and just wanted to roast it himself, when he heard the soldier's report, "The fleet is coming, Wang Sima is coming." ”

According to the plan, the Keelung and Kaohsiung warships have returned to the sea, and two steam ships and two coast guard ships are responsible for guarding Huwei. Wang Tiezhu rushed to Guandu with the remaining three coast guard boats, Qinglong boats, and a machine gun team.

Seeing Wang Tiezhu and Li Da getting off the boat, Chen Yu, Huang Pengfei and others raised their hands and saluted, "Commander-in-chief, chief of staff!" ”

"The vast tidal flats, the patches are like grass, and you have chosen a good place for lunch. There are still 8,000 soldiers in Monga, and the task in the next stage is how to capture them all. The task in the afternoon is very arduous, and we must let the comrades eat well and eat well! ”

Wang Tiehammer raised his hand in return, said a few words, and then strode among the soldiers.

There are still 8,000 Qing troops in Monga, and in the afternoon, a large number of soldiers may be overwhelmed. In this battle, the Ming army did not take the body strengthening pills, and Wang Tiehammer was a little worried that if he encountered a tough battle, would there be any problems with the morale of the troops.

Fresh sea fish, chisels on the fire, roasted in oil, and exudes an attractive aroma.

Seeing the arrival of the king's hammer, the warriors all stood straight by the campfire.

Wang Tiehammer's voice was like a bell, "The comrades played well in the morning, and the imperial court has sent a congratulatory message to express warm congratulations to you!" ”

"All for the new Ming! All for the sake of New China! The warriors roared.

"Sit down, sit down, our task now is to eat." Wang Tiehammer nodded and beckoned everyone to sit down, "There are still a lot of enemies waiting for us in Monga, and when we have eaten and drunk enough, we can destroy them." ”

"Captain, this fish is already grilled." Huang Pengfei took a grilled fish from Bao Desheng's hand and handed it to Wang Tiehammer.

During the Mingxing Island period, Wang Tiezhu was the captain of the advance team, and Huang Pengfei and other old subordinates could not change their words.

"Let the warriors eat first!" Wang Tiehammer took the fish with a smile, and stuffed it back to Bao Desheng, "Bao Platoon Leader, there are still eight thousand Qing Demons in Monga, it may be a tough battle in the afternoon, you have to eat well." ”

After the recruit training, Bao Desheng was assigned to the first company of the fourth battalion as a platoon commander.

"Eight thousand demons are a ball!" Bao Desheng is very bold, "Just now we have finished replenishing the bullets, 380 rounds per person. At that time, as long as one person shoots 100 rounds, the demon will be finished. ”

Bao Desheng only knew how to play with a big blade before, but when he arrived at the Ming army, he deeply understood the power of modern weapons.

"That's right, as long as we have a steel gun in our hands, no matter how many demons there are, it's all for nothing!" Around the campfire, the warriors echoed in unison.

"Well said! It's up to you in the afternoon. Seeing the morale of the soldiers, Wang Tiehammer was very happy.

Li Da admonished: "Remember, you are not fighting in a company. As long as it is delayed until tomorrow, these 8,000 demons in Monga will be the turtle in the urn. ”

He pointed to the north, "To the north, your battalion commander and instructor have already led people over the Lion Ball Ridge, and they will be able to reach the foot of Monga City tomorrow morning." ”

Finally, he pointed to the south, "The three battalions have also landed and attacked from the sea, and they will definitely rush to the Tamsui River tomorrow morning." ”

Li Da drew a big circle on the other side of the Keelung River, "The three-way army is besieging Monga, and these 8,000 people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are our meal." As long as you hold up until tomorrow, the Qing army will not be able to escape if you want to run. ”

Wang Tiezhu said with a smile, "By tomorrow, these 8,000 Qing troops will be 8,000 pigs." When the time comes, there will be captives everywhere, and I am afraid that you will be in a hurry and will not have time to catch them. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they shouted, "Catch the pigs, catch the pigs, tomorrow to see who catches more." ”

"These 8,000 soldiers are very valuable human resources, and we must take them prisoner. There are too many places that require human resources, such as digging mountains and tunnels, building roads and laying railroad tracks, and mining, and you must not be a loser. Wang Tiehammer pointed at Bao Sheng, "Bao Platoon Leader, if you kill too many people and take too few prisoners, I will let you report to the engineering team, and you will personally go to build roads and mine for me." ”

There was a burst of jubilation around the campfire.

"Although the situation is very good, there are still eight thousand Qing demons in Monga after all. In the afternoon, you must be ready to gnaw hard bones and fight a tough battle with the Qing demon who pounced. Our soldiers of the Xingming Army must have the confidence to win, the determination to fight a tough battle, and the courage to fight with a white blade. Without these, what is the country? Go home and pick up the baby. ”

Bao Desheng turned red, "Please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured." ”

"Platoon leader, you haven't joined the party yet, have you?!"

"Some time ago, I just took a party class, and the platoon leader was preparing to write the party application." Huang Pengfei is a company commander and instructor.

Wang Tiehammer nodded and said very seriously: "We are the Chinese Revival Party, a party that fights for the liberation of the whole of China and the liberation of the whole world. Only outstanding elements who endure hardships first, enjoy themselves last, dare to fight, and obey discipline can join our party. ”

Wang Tiezhu finished lunch and was just about to get up, when someone reported that the suburbs of Dadaocheng had sent people to "reward".

Dadaocheng, like Huwei, Guandu, and Monga, is on the north bank of the Tamsui River. It is eight miles away from Guandu and seven miles away from Monga, and is inhabited by the lower suburbs or suburban business groups dominated by Xiamen Tong'an people.

In the suburbs, the people of Xiamen Tong'an were defeated by the Quanzhou Sanyi business group. After the Sanyi people attacked strongly, they burned down all the houses of the Tong'an people. The defeated Tong'an people had to give up the territory of Monga Wharf, led by Lin Youzao, the elder of Tong'an, and fled to Dadaocheng to open another commercial port.

The sound of artillery at the end of the morning shocked both sides of the Tamsui River. The lower suburbs have long known that the Ming army is coming to Keelung, and they have also seen the Ming army's "Letter to the People of Taiwan". Lin Youzao is the general of the defeated army, and he is not as wealthy as Monga Huang Longan, so he has been watching the movements of the Quartet with cold eyes, covering his head and just doing his own business. Now that the Ming army's strong ships and artillery have blocked the mouth of the Tamsui River, Lin Youzao can no longer sit still, on one side is the Ming army's strong ships and artillery, and on the other hand, there are 8,000 Qing troops in Monga, and the flames of war are likely to burn to Dadaocheng. He immediately sent his brother Lin Youmin to come over by boat to find out the truth of the Ming army.

Lin Youmin is an old man in the lower suburbs, and he is good at talking. As soon as he saw Wang Tiehammer, Lin Youmin immediately respectfully presented the gift list.

"Forget the gift list." Wang Tiehammer shook his hand, "You know? Your Dadaocheng is in the middle of Guandu and Monga, and our battle with the Qing army of Monga may start outside your village. ”

"The Ming army entered Keelung to save the common people and the Chinese people. The people of the village are all kind and kind, and most of them are benevolent and virtuous, and they must not bear to cause harm. Lin Youmin fell to his knees with a thud, "Although the village is small, I am willing to provide military rations for the army and sponsor military salaries." ”

"The Ming army eats imperial grain and official salaries, and this grain should be raised by the imperial court." Wang Tiehammer hehe, "The only one who can save Dadaocheng is yourself." ”

Wang Tiehammer gave Lin Youmin four words "close the village to protect himself" and drove him away.

After lunch, after a short rest, Li Da commanded a company of Huang Pengfei and Tan Ke's machine gun team to cross the Keelung River by boat and slowly advance in the direction of Monga. Chen Yu led four coast guard ships to accompany the Yulin Army and sailed upstream.
