January 2, 1916, Xiaohan.

After a winter rain, the temperature plummets.

The whole Cao Wu was in a mess, and some rich people dragged their families and prepared to flee. Because everyone knew that there was going to be a war, Zhang Chun of Shayang rebelled, and the revolutionaries went to the countryside to visit the villages, saying that they would oppose President Yuan Da to become emperor. The Anlu Mansion had already increased the number of troops in Cao Wu's barracks, reaching thousands of soldiers, and the mules and horses carrying cannons and shells had been gone for two days.

It's just that these soldiers are not as good as Zhang Chun's soldiers, and they are flirting in droves on the streets of Cao Wu #Drama big girl and little daughter-in-law. The rich families are nothing, and some poor people's families are unlucky, and the soldiers have searched the party and done all kinds of bad things. This caused the common people of Cao Wu to flee overnight, and the torches lit on the road were dotted with stars, and there was no end in sight.

In the darkness, the soldiers still subconsciously chose to march between the bushes and low hills, because there was a lot of concealment here.

Even in the crop fields, the soldiers were very careful.

The four companies of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Division quietly surrounded Cao Wu. Zhao Dinggang had already taken control of a large family, and the guardians and heads of the family were cleanly killed by the soldiers because they wanted to resist. As soon as the young lady got down, the maids and servants shrank together and trembled, not daring to make a sound.

Outside the courtyard, the voices of some soldiers could be heard whispering admonishing the people.

"Fellow, we are the troops of the Xinmin Independent Division, stay at home, don't open the door, don't make a sound."

In fact, some ordinary people here have experienced this situation several times. So there was hardly much movement in the village.

It's just that in the past, small troops secretly crossed the border, and they generally didn't care about large families. Now it is the operation of a large army, and Zhao Dinggang is not willing to take any risks.

"The companies have already done it. What are we going to do. ”

Zhao Dinggang led the fifth and sixth companies, which were reserves for just in case.

"Let the sharpshooters support in the back, if they are alarmed, there will definitely be fire, hit the officials, hit the # artillery and machine gunners, and the rest doesn't matter. There are troops in front to solve. Other sub-teams are ready to replenish the front line. These boys have been practicing for so long, if you come back with less hair, you'll have a good show. ”

There are some houses scattered around Caowu Town, and this place was originally a noisy place, because many soldiers of the new army of the imperial court were inside. But it slowly quieted down.

Some soldiers in camouflage uniforms only noticed when they touched people. They did not give the Forces nouvelles soldiers time to react at all, and daggers, crossbow arrows and bullets were added to the Forces nouvelles soldiers. In the dark, the gunfire was low, but it never stopped. One by one, the figures quickly rolled towards the barracks.

"Go home and put out the lights." These strange soldiers ordered those who were still outside the house.

Zhao Dinggang watched as the lights of the people around the barracks went out one by one. The makeshift barricades in front of the barracks and the patrols in the trenches did not react. He smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad. The troops moved forward, and it looked like they would soon be hit. Prepare for support. ”

When this silence is far away, or only a few places, it may not attract people's attention. But as the lights around the barracks went out, there was a deathly silence.

Even a fool knows something is wrong.

There was a terrible whistle in the barracks.

But seeing the strange rows of sentries and patrols falling, the people who went to report to the commander did not return. Looking again, the command post and the courtyard where the instructors lived were also plunged into darkness. The lights on the watchtower were also extinguished, and there were occasional bright reflections from the watchtower and roof.

Those who had already run out began to fire their guns sporadically. But they are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, they can't see at all, and how can they aim. The most important thing is that the machine guns were not heard at all. There was also a dead silence on the other side of the artillery camp. The makeshift positions at the front did not work at all, and the torches for lighting were completely extinguished.

"Soldiers of the New Army, you have been surrounded, your commander has been killed. You can surrender. ”

In the darkness, voices were heard from afar, but loud. Enough for the entire military camp and the entire Caowu town to hear.

The gunfire suddenly erupted from all directions, but soon the gunfire died down. It's as if it was just a bunch of fireworks.

There was silence, and some of the soldiers watched as the commanders who came out of the barracks were shot in the head, and the bullets seemed to know them. And ordinary soldiers, as long as the muzzle of the gun is not raised, is fine. Those who tried to resist had already fallen in a pool of blood. Or a gunshot in the head, or in the chest. Some were even shot in multiple places at the same time.

Feelings of terror spread among the soldiers.

――――――――――

Cao Wu, more than 3,600 soldiers, more than 400 were killed while looking for #huanzuole outside, and almost no one was spared the officers and their guards. The artillery regiment was completely annihilated, and the soldiers of the independent division did not give the Cao Wu garrison regiment and the reinforced artillery battalion any chance to resist at all. Not a single wounded man, all of them were fatal with one blow. The number of surrendered was counted below two thousand.

After counting, it turned out that this was not one regiment, but two regiments. In addition to their soldiers, many of the soldiers were temporarily brought in to take the lead salary, and some of the soldiers were a family of more than ten men. The older ones were forty or fifty years old, and the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they didn't even know how to get a gun.

The real training was carried out by the commanders' new people and guard battalions, but these people were completely wiped out in the first round of attacks, and almost nothing was missed. This is related to the fact that Cao Wu's military camp was a training camp before, and the commanders lived in the former instructor dormitory, and the conditions were too different from ordinary military camps. So the officers almost all lived in it.

Zhao Dinggang finished inspecting the battlefield and joked with several company commanders: "Look, this is the harm of greedy enjoyment." If you want to be the same among the officers and soldiers, why don't you even have the slightest room for resistance? ”

Several company commanders laughed: "They are looking for death, and they still complain about others?" ”

______________

The concentration of more than a thousand captives was also quite spectacular. Only one company guarded them. But looking at the soldiers of the independent division who are fully armed, dressed in clothes, and combat boots, they can be called luxurious, and the recruit soldiers are called Hanako. Of course, the people brought by Chen Xiongyuan are not as good as being called Huazi.

"Hello, I am Zhao Dinggang, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of Shayang Independence, and we have received an order from the Operations Department to hand over 1,642 prisoners and all the guns to you. There are no artillery among these people, so you can only take six cannons and a hundred shells. Another 193 prisoners under the age of sixteen were ordered by the division commander not to go to the front. ”

Zhao Dinggang handed over weapons and equipment to Chen Xiongyuan on official business.

So many soldiers of the new army who are equipped don't even look at it.

While Chen Xiongyuan envied the equipment on the independent division, he was also secretly happy that he had obtained the strength of a regiment.

He didn't see that Zhao Dinggang had many soldiers around him. But in another place, more than 200 soldiers were getting ready to go, and an officer-like man checked the equipment on each soldier's body. The soldiers had serious expressions, and no one spoke the whole time. Then it quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Chief Zhao, there is still action, right?" Chen Xiongyuan asked cheekily.

"It's a military secret." Zhao Dinggang did not give face.

"Assemble." The soldiers of the independent division here also began to form a team, and the soldiers who were originally scattered everywhere gathered together, and almost in the blink of an eye, they became four columns. Then the inspection of equipment ammunition began.

"Commander Chen, I hope you leave Cao Wu as soon as possible, as soon as the morning dawns, someone from the Shayang Military Government will come to accept Cao Wu Town. Until then, you can leave with someone Cao Wu is willing to leave. Our army will not cross the boundary of Cao Wu, but we do not want Cao Wu to be harassed. ”

Zhao Dinggang finished explaining. He left with his troops. left the huge military camp to Chen Xiongyuan. Only one night, of course.

"Sir, you'd better hurry up and take us away. They are a ghost army, more than a thousand people are gone in the blink of an eye, and not a single one is alive. When a veteran begged Chen Xiongyuan, his voice trembled.

"What are you afraid of, being a soldier if you are afraid of death." Chen Xiongyuan roared.

"Listen to Lao Tzu, now, you are already a revolutionary army, revolutionary soldiers must have the spirit of not being afraid of death, if anyone dares to retreat on the battlefield, Lao Tzu compares to whom." Listening to Chen Xiongyuan's roar in the barracks.

The soldier of the Independent Division, who was hiding in the shadows and holding a withered grass in his mouth, said to his companions: "I said Brother Zhang, if the revolutionary army is all virtuous, will the revolution succeed?" ”

The other fighter laughed and said, "Less nonsense." ”

The soldier laughed. Turned over and ran to the other side.
