【144】The Sound of Drums and Horns Begins to Fight (16)

The early morning mist shrouded the earth, and the city walls and city gate towers of Jiangshan County in the distance were dark, the defenders did not light torches, and none of the lanterns were hung, and Yao Fan did not know whether Chen Huilong, the chief military officer of Dengzhou, was prepared.

The light in the early morning was dim, and in the mist, the black arrow towers on both sides of the city wall were faintly visible.

The mist formed dewdrops on Yao Fan's steel helmet, rolling down as he moved, dripping down on his body.

"Chairman, let's act, it's better to be dark, so that the demolition team can get closer." Li Hainiu approached Yao Fan and said.

"Okay, let's go." Yao Fan made a decision, no matter whether Chen Huilong was prepared or not, he already had the consciousness to deal with the sudden incident.

After receiving the order, Hu Guangting, the commander of the first battalion teaching company, led the three platoons of the whole company to cautiously jump out of the fog, and rushed forward with the speed of a tanuki. When they were 150 meters close to the city wall, two platoons fell to the ground one after another, aiming their rifles and machine guns at the city to keep on fire, while a platoon of assault groups and a demolition squad of only three people continued to grope along the main road towards the city gate with explosives bags and fuses in their arms.

Yao Fan's tired eyes were sunken after a night of marching, he swallowed his saliva, sweated in his hands, and was afraid that the so-called "a cannon sounded, the city gate opened, and a team of men and horses suddenly came out" appeared in the book.

The life of every soldier is precious, and Yao Fan hopes that these seeds he planted can see the success of the revolution with his own eyes, what a wonderful moment it will be.

The defenders of Jiangshan County seemed to be a group of dead people in coffins at this time, seeing that the demolition team had touched under the city gate, there was still no movement on the city.

"Hu Guangting will probably be disappointed, right?" Yao Fan guessed.

Gui Ba, the commander of the first artillery company, stood quietly beside Yao Fan, holding a handful of his favorite rice grass in his hand, peeling the grass stalks and stuffing them into his mouth, while muttering: "Our artillery company won't be a bamboo basket to draw water today, right?" The day before yesterday, we didn't fire a single shot in the cavalry, and today we didn't fire a single shot, when will it be our turn to make meritorious service? ”

"When you are shooting, why are you in a hurry? The shells are so expensive, they can't be wasted on the green battalion. Yao Fan said.

"Yes." Gui Ba chewed the grass stalk and said, "Autumn is deep, and the rice grass is old." ”

Li Hainiu put down the binoculars and said, "You kid want to eat grass and go, don't keep talking about it here, it's annoying." ”

Li Jun stared at the telescope and said, "Look, Hu Guangting and they are on fire." ”

"This kid is in front of the front again this time as a demolition team? He doesn't want to die? Yao Fan hurriedly picked up the binoculars, and sure enough, he vaguely saw Hu Guangting leaning against the city wall and covering his ears.

Li Hainiu said proudly: "I haven't said for a long time, with a good boy like Hu Guangting as an example, everyone will be a good man!" ”

Li Jun lightly "cut" in his mouth, attracting Li Hainiu's angry eyes.

I only heard a loud bang, and the city gate in the mist was immediately shrouded in a white smoke, and the white smoke revealed a red light, which was very beautiful. The morning fog that had shrouded the earth like cotton wool before was also trembling and churning slightly in the explosion at this moment.

Hu Guangting, the commander of the first battalion of the teaching company, rushed to the city gate, blowing the iron whistle hanging around his neck fiercely, and the soldiers of the teaching company in the distance quickly got up one by one and made a surprise attack on the city gate, but they forgot the straggler tactics they had just explained yesterday, and rushed towards the city gate like a tide.

Li Hainiu grinned fiercely and shouted: "The first battalion and the second company keep up with the previous company!" Assault the enemy forces at the head of the city! ”

Yao Fan frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "Li Hainiu, take a look!" Look! How did this become a swarm of bees again! I told you to be in groups! Spread out the formation! What do you do and make up a pot of porridge. ”

Li Hainiu wanted to scratch his head, but his hand touched the steel helmet, and he put down his hand in embarrassment and said: "Chairman, I must criticize them well when I go back, these rabbit cubs really don't have a long memory!" ”

After saying that, Li Hainiu ran down the small slope, beckoned his battalion of the third and fourth companies, and trotted towards the bombed-up city gate, shouting as he rushed back: "Spread out the formation!" Don't huddle together! Formation scattering point! Don't huddle together! ”

Yao Fan looked at the soldiers who were rushing in excitement, and sighed secretly, "Thanks to the erosion of the Qing soldiers, Li Hainiu can use actual combat as training." ”

Yao Fan picked up the walkie-talkie: "Liu Jinbao, pay attention to the ambush, the Qing army is very likely to escape from the north gate and the east gate, don't let them escape." ”

"Yes! Rest assured, Chairman! There are two companies at the east gate, and three or four companies led by me at the north gate, and I can't run. Liu Jinbao's almost roaring voice came from the walkie-talkie, and Yao Fan's eardrums were itchy.

Yao Fan continued to give orders to the walkie-talkie: "On the fourth day, you pay attention to the West Gate. ”

"Yes!" The fourth answer of the week was very concise.

Li Jun asked unwillingly, "What about me?" ”

"You're in reserve." Yao Fan said ruthlessly.

Gui Ba, who was squatting on the side and peeling grass stems, laughed out loud.

Jiangshan county is a north-south rectangle, about 8oo meters wide, about 1ooo meters long, two bluestone roads cross connection southeast and northwest four gates, the county is divided into Tian Zi shape, most of the county towns of the Qing Dynasty are this layout, the center of the four roads is a square with a length and width of nearly 1oo meters, the center of the square is built a tower, a bronze bell of the Ming Dynasty is hung on the tower, the northwest of the square is the county government.

Hu Guangting frantically blew the iron whistle in his mouth, and at the same time took his teaching company to rush north along the main road.

At present, in Yao Fan's entire unit, the top five soldiers in shooting are all in the first battalion of the training company led by Hu Guangting, and Hu Guangting is the best of these five, not only that, but the excellent shooting results have also inspired the confidence of this farmer, and he has become more enthusiastic and cheerful.

Hu Guangting, who was born in a poor peasant family, has never complained once since he followed Yao Fan on the road of no return to rebellion, on the contrary, he is very adaptable to life in the army, and prefers the equal environment created by Yao Fan. In the revolutionary army, the officers and soldiers ate the same meal, and even the supreme commander, Yao Fan, as the chairman, also went down to the company every day to eat, and he ate whatever the ordinary soldiers ate. It's just that Hu Guangting heard that Yao Fan's health is not very good, so he always drinks chicken soup every once in a while to replenish his body. Other than that, the chairman was no different from any other ordinary warrior in his eyes.

Due to the rapid expansion of Yao Fan's army, Hu Guangting was quickly promoted from a soldier to a platoon commander, and from a platoon commander to a company commander, and from an ordinary platoon commander to the commander of a teaching company of the first battalion. According to Yao Fan, the teaching company is the seed of each battalion, and the good of a battalion can be seen by looking at the teaching company.

After the battle of Jiaoxi the day before, Yao Fan patted Hu Guangting on the shoulder and said to him, "Young man, work hard, the position of battalion commander will be yours in the future." Li Hainiu, the commander of the first battalion, also praised him, saying that he had a bright future.

Hu Guangting secretly made up his mind that he must mix up his personal appearance in the revolutionary army.

In today's attack on Jiangshan County, the first battalion was once again designated as an assault group, and Hu Guangting, as the commander of the teaching company, was determined to make a great contribution; he thought about it and felt that it was not fun to just blow up the city gate, and only by capturing Chen Huilong, the chief military officer of Dengzhou, could this great achievement be regarded as a big cap.

When the city gate was blown open, the smoke and dust had not dispersed, and even the sawdust in the air had not completely landed, Hu Guangting rushed in with his teaching.

Hu Guangting gritted his teeth anxiously: "You must catch Chen Huilong." ”

When the city gate was blown open, the four green battalions in the city were also awakened.

Of the four green battalions under Chen Huilong, except for two of which were brought by Chen Huilong from Penglai, the other two were garrison battalions of Wendeng and Yantai. As the chief military officer of Dengzhou Town, Chen Huilong knew that he could not escape the blame for such a big rebellion in his garrison area, if he could not quickly exterminate this rebel, the crime of negligence and the lack of ammunition pressure would be enough to send him home to farm, and maybe even be suitable for Xinjiang. Chen Huilong knew that Zuo Zongtang was planning to counterbalance the rebellion there, and he must have been cannon fodder if he went.

The restless Chen Huilong and his subordinate generals finally grabbed Ding everywhere, gathered four battalions of two thousand green battalion infantry, met in Laiyang, and hurried to Jiangshan County, which is 6o miles away from Jimo, and can send troops to encircle and suppress at any time.

Chen Huilong just arrived here yesterday, and with great difficulty, under the coordination of the local county magistrate and the gentry, borrowed and requisitioned a number of houses in the city, arranged for the stationing of 2,000 soldiers and the resettlement of a batch of grain and grass, and was planning to train the army well in the next few days, and then find a Taoist monk to divinate an auspicious day of the zodiac, so he went to Jimo County, which is not far from the south, and cut the gang of rubber thieves with a thousand knives.

Who would have thought that without waiting for Chen Huilong, the angry cat, to catch the mouse, the mouse came arrogantly, this is really a bold mouse.

"Adults are not good! The thieves have breached the gates! ”

"What?

Nonsense! ”

Chen Huilong was thrilled when he heard this, and rolled down from the bed.

The days of marching had exhausted him enough, and the explosion had not woken him until he was awakened by his own soldiers, and he did not turn out of his sleep.

The pro-soldier kneeling on the ground was about to cry at this time, and shouted with teary eyes: "My lord! Absolutely true! The little ones don't dare to talk nonsense! The gang of rubber thieves has surrounded the castle and the county government in the city, and is vigorously searching for all those wearing official uniforms and brave uniforms! ”

"You rice buckets! Good gates! How can it be said that it is broken? Chen Huilong snatched his clothes, panting and putting them on his body, and he was so angry that his beard was cocked.

"My lord! It's useless to say more! Let's find a way to get out of here! The soldiers on the ground dared to persuade.

Chen Huilong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't say more, he hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, rushed into the front yard with a knife, and saw that his personal soldiers were there, and he suddenly felt a little relieved.

Gunshots and shouts of killing kept coming from outside the courtyard, which made Chen Huilong feel terrified.

Chen Huilong turned his heart sideways, drew his saber and raised it high above his head, and shouted to the twenty or so subordinates gathered here: "Sons! We're going on a killing spree today! Ahh!!!h Come with me and kill the glue thief!!!! ”

With that, he took the lead and rushed out of the county office.

Hu Guangting had already rushed to the gate of the county government behind the tower and commanded the troops to surround the place.

Since he was not too familiar with the layout of Jiangshan County, he was a little impatient.

When he saw groups of Qing soldiers carrying knives and guns, bird guns, and guns constantly pouring into the streets of the city from various alleys west of the county government, shouting to kill thieves, he scolded angrily: "Kill me!" Kill them all! If you can't catch it alive, it's good to catch it dead! ”

Hu Guangting didn't care about manslaughter, it was not a good kind to hear such a big movement in the city early in the morning and dare to run on the street.

After attacking Jimo County and the Jiaoxi Field Battle the day before yesterday, the soldiers of the teaching company have become a little accustomed to blood and death, and they cannot be regarded as recruits, before Hu Guangping gave the order, they were already shooting at the Qing soldiers who rushed to the streets, many people did not realize that they did not hesitate at all when shooting at people now, it is hard to imagine that they used to be a group of poor and desperate peasants.

With the crisp and deafening crackling of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, the Qing troops on the streets continued to fall in pools of blood, and the streets were full of moans and wails. Seeing that the situation was not good, the living Qing army immediately showed all kinds of ugliness in a panic and weak legs, and those who were close immediately threw down their swords and guns and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, and those who were far away ran away, wanting to escape back to the place where they were originally stationed and sleeping.

At this time, Luo Qiren's second company also rushed into the city, climbed the city wall and swept along the city head, capturing countless Qing soldiers who were sleeping on the city.

Chen Huilong finally rushed out of the gate of the county government with armor and a knife, and he made up his mind to escape from the north of the city after breaking through the siege.

Hu Guangting had already set up a machine gun at the gate of the county government at this time, he was afraid that after the gate of the county government was opened, a group of birds and guns would appear inside.

When he saw the door open, without waiting for Hu Guangting to speak, his machine gunners suddenly panicked. After all, what I saw was a group of knife-wielding thugs, and the snow blades were shiny, and anyone who saw them would be flustered.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

The machine gunner subconsciously opened fire and pulled the trigger on Chen Huilong and his knife-wielding soldiers who rushed out.

Suddenly, the 7.62 mm full-power bullets of the "revolutionary" machine gun swept past the gate of the county government as if they didn't want money, and when Hu Guangting reacted and now rushed out of the Qing army, the situation could not be saved, and Chen Huilong and his 20 or so personal soldiers were beaten to pieces by the machine guns that fired at close range, and their internal organs, blood plasma, brains, minced meat, and bone residue were ...... Splashed all over the ground. The gate of the county government was also broken, and the brick wall next to the gate was shattered and could not be repaired.

When the Heavy saw the flesh and blood in this place, he didn't hold back it at the time, and immediately vomited.

Hu Guangting frowned and said, "Why do you still vomit?" Didn't vomit enough the day before yesterday? A good official was beaten by you, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. ”

The deputy shooter patted the main shooter on the back, and said to Hu Guangting with a bitter face: "Company commander, is this senior officer to be arrested by the chairman?" This is dead...... Can it still be counted? ”

Hu Guangting said irritably: "How do I know this!" Let's drag the dead out first!

A long line, you take someone in to search! Escort all the rest out, and if you are not honest, you will correct the Fa on the spot! ”
