110: The crisis of Furutasho
The battle of the first few days was not only defeated by a terrifying artillery bombardment at the moment when it finally saw the dawn of victory, but also lost a large number of soldiers, and now many wounded people because of the pain of their injuries, and the cry of the loss of relatives at home has also exacerbated the spread of this downturn......
After the failure of the attack on Chabao, several officers of the Gutian Institute and the civil officials of Yongning Prefecture locked themselves in the council hall and did not know what they were discussing, all the people below could know was that they had to send additional sentry posts and release a night similar to that of the reconnaissance force to the south to pay close attention to the actions of those rioters, and at the same time sent five groups of men and horses in a row to Guilin Mansion to ask for help: -- Gutian people have resurged...... ** firearms are sharp......
However, these have nothing to do with the low-level sergeants, no matter whether the officials of Guilin Mansion will arrange troops to reinforce them, the previous few days of the battle have scared, frightened, and played a psychological shadow on these people, and some of the soldiers who came back if there was a sudden loud noise when they were asleep, these people would wake up from their sleep with a frightened sound; Moreover, when the soldiers who were bombed back told their families and those who did not participate in the battle last time, they would inadvertently send a signal that the rioters were terrible. And such a thing that is not conducive to the maintenance of morale can not be restrained by the officers at this moment, first, they have to discuss how to deal with the situation that may arise next, and at the same time, because the last battle was killed by those black guns too many low-level officers, the loss of these small leaders to maintain order and morale...... It is difficult for the high-ranking officers to influence the soldiers below.
What's even worse is that yesterday afternoon, a group of people wearing colorful clothes and carrying spears suddenly appeared outside the military fort, seeing this signature clothes and those birds, needless to say, everyone knows who is coming, the officers and those civilian officials in Yongning Prefecture are all frightened and their faces are bloodless, especially when the other party's symbolic surname fired two cannons and smashed a few iron bullets into the military fort, two civilian officials directly took it as peeing their pants......
In fact, at that time, if those officers could still have the courage to fight, the civilian officials could come out and say a few words to appease the ordinary civilians, and send a team of hundreds of people to directly rush over, even if they could not annihilate these rebellious people called flower skin soldiers, they would at least be able to make the other party retreat, which is like the other party came from time to time on a whim...... At this time, when those officers wanted to send someone to drive the other party away, they found that the other party had reinforced a lot of soldiers and was squatting there, and the total number had exceeded more than 300 people...... More importantly, it makes all the soldiers and civilians who watch all this happen timid; Cowardice before the battle - how to fight the battle that follows?!
Fortunately, at night, those flowery soldiers stopped firing their cannons and began to organize people to shout outside to the military fort, but the people and content of the shouts made the hearts of the people in the military fort even more disheartened.
These flower skin army captured some time ago captured and some villagers organized to shout, report their names and station, and then say what the government drinks corruption and corruption, they eat fragrant and spicy on it, and the soldiers below can't even eat enough to chew chaff and dig grass, the righteous army is the descendants of the Gutian righteous army back then, and they came to eradicate these corrupt officials and filthy officials for Tianxingdao, villagers don't be afraid, the righteous army only kills corrupt officials and does not disturb the people, and they are exempted from how much food and silver, and they eat better when they are prisoners now than when they were soldiers, The brothers in the fort hurriedly ran out, and did not pursue the personnel who participated in the attack on the fort a few days ago, only the officers, and so on......
This extremely ferocious move directly stabbed the key points of those officials and officers, and the military households and people below knew about the Gutian Uprising back then, and they also knew what these counterinsurgency troops did when they came in; And the prisoners and villagers found by the other party are also real people, and some people in the military station can recognize each other, although they have not seen it with their own eyes and completely believe it, but it has to be said that the flower skin soldiers used this method to directly make many sergeants and people lose their resistance and fighting spirit, and they can't fight again, and the other party also opened a way for themselves to go...... Then I'm still spanking a fart!!
In the face of this strange trick made by those flowery soldiers, the officers of the Gutian Institute and the civil officials of Yongning Prefecture were caught off guard all of a sudden, and it was already very difficult to refute the emotions of the people on the other side or the people below, so they could only send their henchmen to guard the entrances and exits and the city walls and patrol around, just for fear that someone would really run out to join the bandits at night. It's just that the other party's miraculous trick has planted seeds in the hearts of the people and sergeants, and it is gradually germinating and growing over time......
"Teacher, in my opinion, we don't have to be so troublesome at all, set up the cannon and bomb it for three days, and then I will bring people to rush in, and promise to bring back the heads of those officials to you!!"
Luo Dan asked Deng Shifeng with a strong murderous aura on his face, after a few days of adjustment, Luo Dan has come out of that self-blame emotion, but there is a debtor and a debtor, and this blood debt is naturally hung on the officials of the Gutian Institute in Yongning Prefecture. However, since yesterday afternoon, after coming to this camp and the scheduled attack position, Deng Shifeng just asked the artillery to bombard the Gutian Institute on the afternoon of the first day, and let the infantry intercept and block the sergeants who went out on the opposite side, and then let those prisoners and villagers keep shouting, and shouted from last night that tonight, a group of people are you shouting and I will go to the field in turns, and this kind of fighting style that is not a combination of encirclement and not a war makes him both curious about his intentions and depressed that he has nothing to do.
"Do you want more graves in the martyrs' cemetery?! What does it say in the Art of War? It is best to use momentum to break the enemy, and it is the second best to use soldiers to break the enemy; No matter how weak Gutian is, it is also a military guard, although the two cannons on the city have not let go of a single shot, but can you guarantee that it will not go off when you attack? Rushing into it is street fighting, scuffle, do you think the last battle with the enemy was fun, right? The last battle should have taught you enough lessons, advanced weapons are not omnipotent, let alone invincible, as long as the battle will produce casualties, how to make good use of all resources and means to fight the opponent, reduce your own consumption and casualties are things that you, an officer, should consider, don't think about using cannons and rifles to solve problems all day long! ”
Deng Shifeng's words made Luo Dan's momentum disappear suddenly, and Deng Shifeng also understood that Luo Dan was just angry now, and wanted to sweep away everyone in Gutian to take revenge, and he couldn't always grasp this point to dampen his future positive surname, so he sighed and explained:
"Our strength is limited, and we can't directly kill Gutiansuo by force, and after the casualties last time, we can't have such a tragic casualty in our mountain village at present! At the same time, there are military households and their families opposite, and then there are the people in Yongning Prefecture...... You killed too much is not conducive to our later reception and management work, I am fighting here now to get the population, you have killed all the people for me, and you have killed out of hatred...... How else do I use people! ”
"Then shouting like this, can it be useful?"
Luo Dan pointed to the prisoners and villagers below who had been taken out of the occupied territory to shout and crowd the scene, and he was a little suspicious of his teacher's trick.
"Hehe, Luo Dan, this is the new tactic I want to teach you - psychological warfare!"
Deng Shifeng smiled, he naturally knew very well that this kind of psychological disintegration war copied from the later generations of pla, during the Liberation War, especially the Huaihai Battle in the three major battles, this method of finding prisoners and fellow villagers to shout on the scene did not make the ** soldiers on the opposite side surrender in groups, look at the time, Deng Shifeng confidently guaranteed:
"Counting the time from yesterday, our plan to attack Gutiansuo is to get it in five days, the mountain village has lost its old capital for this attack on Gutiansuo, it is already the second day by tonight, and tomorrow is the third day, the largest batch of follow-up troops will arrive, so many personnel are not only quite risky to be transferred from the mountain village, but also almost all the workers, and so on tomorrow night, you will have a headache for how to settle a large number of military households and people who have come out to surrender and surrender! But you don't have to have a headache for too long, the day after tomorrow is the fourth day, we will launch an artillery bombardment, and on the fifth day we will launch a general attack to get it done!! ”
Deng Shifeng's five-day time limit for attacking Gutian didn't seem to be much, but he was quite sure that he would be able to take Gutian smoothly within this time, because he believed in the terrifying ability of this psychological offensive to break the opponent's morale, and just as he and Luo Dan finished saying this, the soldiers on guard in front found some figures from the opposite side; After ordering the other party to slowly walk to the designated place as required and check their intention and safety, these black shadows were brought to Deng Shifeng and Luo Dan.
Most of them were the more courageous people in the military station, and they chose to come to fight an outpost in order to protect their families from the danger of war. For these people, Deng Shifeng naturally did not embarrass them, not only answered many questions from the other party, but also promised that he would not hold the ordinary military families who participated in the attack on Chabao a few days ago responsible, and the soldiers performed their own duties for their own masters, and after passing the interrogation of the prisoners, he was able to understand the reason why these people were desperate; Deng Shifeng's open-mindedness and commitment relieved many of the other party's doubts, and also allowed these people to meet with the prisoners and villagers who shouted to confront each other directly, and these prisoners and villagers could dispel the last hesitation in their hearts.
However, what surprised Luo Dan was that among these people, he saw that Brother Mao was also inside...... (To be continued.) )
