【152】Wind Blowing Red Flag Earth Flip (8)

The noon sun was a little dazzling, Yao Fan looked at the Pingdu City Tower 5oo meters away with his hand attached to his forehead, and he didn't even bother to use the telescope.

"Guiba, did you see the damned city gate tower and the arrow towers on both sides? The enemy will kill our brothers with bullets and bows and arrows inside, knock them out with high-explosive incendiary bombs for me. ”

"Chairman, they won't live!" Gui Ba chewed the rice grass that could no longer be chewed in the late autumn and said fiercely.

Now Gui Ba's artillery company is very experienced in the artillery bombardment in the state of direct aiming, after a test shot into the city, a slight correction, the second hit the front of the city gate building, only to see the entire roof immediately exploded, the fierce burning thermite splattered the fire that could not be extinguished spread to the entire roof, and the Qing troops on the surrounding city walls shouted to fight the fire.

Gui Ba made persistent efforts, and three high-explosive incendiary bombs were hit in front and back of the city gate building, and the flames soared into the sky, and the structure of the bombed gatehouse could no longer withstand the chemical flames that were enough to burn the steel, and suddenly collapsed to one side crookedly, stirring up a cloud of dust and raging fire. The recruited family members and citizens were in a hurry to put out the fire under the Qing army's sword and gun drive.

Seeing the tower collapse with a bang, the soldiers laughed and leaned back, shouted excitedly, whistled, and cheered with rifles, and everyone was eager to attack the city gate and blast it at once.

When Wang Zhengqi was shot in the city tower, he happened to be not inside, he stood on the city wall after escaping the catastrophe, and saw clearly with a monocular in his hand with a bitter face, and there seemed to be only four small cannons on the position of the glue thief in the distance.

"Yes, only four." He confirmed.

"The cannon is so small, and it doesn't have much fire, but it's so powerful??!! The third exploded the city tower, and the fight was surprisingly accurate! Wang Zhengqi was surprised.

Surprised and indignant, he gritted his teeth and did not hesitate: "Someone! Kill the black dog and pour the dog's blood outside the city wall to prevent artillery! ”

Wang Zhengqi, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, still believed that the power of the small cannon came from some kind of demon law, otherwise it would be unscientific. Last night, he carefully studied Yao Fan's name, and felt that this name was similar to the sound of the word Demon Law, and the more he felt that it was full of mysteries.

"The Mongolian cavalry said that he was a demon, I think it is reliable!" Wang Zhengqi had now reached an agreement with the cavalry that had reported the defeat to the Mongols.

Yesterday, after the battle, all the way to escape, Wang Zheng ran back to Pingdu immediately checked the soldiers and horses, now the eight cavalry battalions of the whole army have suffered little losses, only more than 200 people are missing, but the strength of a cavalry battalion, and the four infantry battalions are more miserable, 66 The soldiers who continued to flee back are only more than 1,300, and there is a shortage of more than 600 people, and the number of auxiliaries who temporarily catch the strong men is even worse, only more than 400 people have escaped back, and the others have disappeared without a trace, and I don't know where these fools have gone. Fortunately, the auxiliary soldiers can catch Ding Xun to fill up, in contrast, Wang Zhengqi only feels sorry for his soldiers and lost foreign guns.

Yao Fan was afraid that the cavalry in the city would rush out, so he used a walkie-talkie to remind the four battalions to remember to use machine guns to form crossfire to block the city gate, and at the same time ordered Gui Ba to continue to shell the Qing troops on the city wall. As a result, the arrow towers on both sides of the city were also shot one after another, and the explosion caught fire, and the Qing army on the city shouted in panic, while Yao Fan's troops burst into cheers again.

Li Hainiu and other battalion commanders had already arranged their battalion's demolition group, fire group, assault group, and reserve team before the war, especially the 1st battalion of Li Hainiu in the front, which had already entered the attack position, just waiting for Yao Fan's order.

Yao Fan and the others were so anxious that they no longer waited for the remaining three battalions to take their places, and ordered Li Hainiu: "You battalions will fight first!" The more pressure we put on the Qing army here, the less resistance the remaining three battalions will have to attack. ”

"Yes!"

Wang Zhengqi squatted at the head of the city with his whole armor on, watched Yao Fan's movements in the south from the battlements of the city wall, and saw that Yao Fan divided his troops into several ways to besiege the city, and hesitated whether to send cavalry to attack at this time. But when I thought of yesterday's battle, Xu Zixiang and Wang Zhengtai, who were in charge of outflanking the left and right flanks, came back and complained one after another, saying that the rubber thieves couldn't get close at all, and as the chief officer, they almost lost their lives. So Wang Zhengqi finally decided to let the cavalry ambush in the city today.

"When the rubber thief can't attack for a long time and the gun is scarce and the army is withdrawn, I will rush out of the nest with cavalry and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" Wang Zhengqi was very satisfied with the tactics he had planned.

In the final analysis, Wang Zhengqi still didn't believe that a rubber thief with less than a thousand people could break through the Pingdu City he guarded, after all, it was much more convenient to defend the city than to attack the city, and there was no ten times the force to surround it, Wang Zhengqi didn't believe that Yao Fanneng had no choice but to get the fortified city where his army was stationed.

Yao Fan ordered: "The first artillery company continues to strike at the Qing troops on the front city wall, especially near the city gate, don't let them have the opportunity to shoot and shoot arrows at the demolition team."

The first artillery company calmly replaced the steel ball anti-personnel shells under the condition of direct aiming, and began to shell the Qing troops who were intensively defending on the city wall.

Wang Zhengqi gave orders at the top of the city, mobilizing rifle sentry posts to prepare to snipe Yao Fan's stragglers who were sparsely approaching in groups of three or five, while listening to the enemy reports from the other three city gates. Suddenly! A cannonball actually fell strangely from above, and it exploded in front of Wang Zhengqi.

Hu Yuanda, a staff general who stood not far from the head of the city to supervise the battle and organize soldiers to fight the fire of the arrow tower that collapsed and caught fire, witnessed Wang Zhengqi's disappearance at the moment of the explosion, and he described after the war: "After the smoke passed, a big pit appeared on the trail of the city wall, the center was scorched black and empty, the brick arrow stacks on the side of the wall blew up as much as five steps, ten steps away were full of charred and bright red mixed flesh and blood, fifteen steps away the ground was full of stumps and scorched corpses, twenty steps away on the ground lying bloody soldiers, rolling frantically on the ground, The crying was unbearable. ”

Hu Yuanda stood stupidly in a corner of the city wall more than fifty meters away for a moment, suddenly! He turned his head! He ran to the city, shouting madly as he ran, "The general is dead!" General Wang was blown up by a glue thief! ”

The surviving Qing troops at the head of the city saw this flesh and blood hell, and saw Hu Yuanda fleeing, where could they still stand, and for a while, they poured down from the city along the horse slope and trail like opening the gate and releasing water, and poured into the city.

Yao Fan saw in the telescope that the Qing army standing at the head of the city in the south suddenly disappeared, and said to Li Hainiu: "Hurry up and inform the first company, tell Hu Guangting to be careful, the Qing army doesn't know what kind of reputation they are doing?" ”

Li Hainiu also put down his binoculars and frowned: "Probably squatted down to avoid bullets, and prepared to stand up and shoot together when our army got closer." ”

"Makes sense!" Yao Fan praised.

Hu Guangting was already accustomed to blasting, and when the city gate was blown open, he stood at the foot of the city wall next to the gate, skillfully blowing the iron whistle and directing the whole chain to attack.

But before the vanguard of the assault group could run up, Hu Guangting heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the city gate!

"It's broken! Qing cavalry! Hu Guangting knew the stakes of the cavalry, he quickly pulled the rope buckle from his waist, pulled out a grenade, and threw it into the hole in the city gate.

"Comrades! Get the grenades out! Hu Guangting shouted to the soldiers of the demolition team around him.

Rushing to the city gate was a cavalry sentry of the Qing army, 25 war horses just rushed to the city gate that was blown up and shattered half a foot thick wood inlaid with iron bars, they saw another explosion in the city gate, the two war horses in front of the head were suddenly frightened, shook their heads, and threw the cavalry on the horse away.

Hu Guangting saw it clearly after the explosion, picked up a grenade and jumped to the door, accurately threw it into the chaotic horse team not far from the city gate, and immediately hid back at the door.

The explosion sounded again, and the screams of the horses and the screams of the Qing army were heard.

Seeing that he could see his hands, Hu Guangting didn't do anything, and threw two grenades into the clearing field, and after the explosion, there was no Qing army that dared to show his head.

"The machine gun crew rushes forward! Pay attention to the formation spread out in the back! Hu Guangting began to take the teaching company to the city to attack, this time he was more cautious, afraid that the Qing cavalry would rush too quickly from the alleys of the city into the avenue, and the sudden attack would cause casualties.

According to the arrangement, after Hu Guangting rushed into the city gate, he immediately divided his troops and went up to the city wall, condescendingly set up machine guns, carried out fire control in the city, and provided fire support to the soldiers who were scattered in groups of three.

Yao Fan kept getting reports on the walkie-talkie, and under the rapid encirclement of various battalions, the four city gates were blown open one after another, and Wang Zhengqi's Zhenzi 12th battalion was all blocked in the city.

"Resolutely kill the stubborn enemy! Completely crush their fighting spirit! Receive captives while ensuring your own safety! Yao Fan ordered.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he took the four doors.

Yao Fan smiled faintly: "As long as you put the machine gun on the city wall, you can control the whole city, and the next thing is to clean up." ”

The Qing army did not have the determination and fortifications to defend the city, whether it was a street fort, an underpass, a firepower point on the roof, or a guerrilla house with a courtyard connected to it. This made Yao Fan's infantry company and platoon tactics useless, and the fighting style of each unit was simple and point-in-chief. As soon as the Qing army heard the gunshots, they often ran out of the crowded alleys in a panic and surrendered, and as soon as they heard the shouts that they were going to throw grenades to kill them, they obediently came out of the courtyard and begged for mercy. The infantry and cavalry had no courage under the fierce firepower of the People's Liberation Army, and surrendered their weapons and horses, and let them fall.

When Yao Fan entered the city, thousands of Qing prisoners had gathered in the square in front of the yamen, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, probably because they were afraid of Yao Fan's slaughter of the city, and their faces were full of horror.

Yao Fan pulled the portable stereo and walked to the county government and began to make a speech on the occupation: "Don't be afraid, we are the Chinese People's Liberation Army and a revolutionary army.

You may ask, what is a revolution? What is liberation? So I'll explain it to you now......

…… Now everyone understands that the revolution is to overthrow the rule of the Manchu emperor and liberate the toiling masses of the whole world......

…… You may not believe it now, but that's okay, then you can get to know each other slowly when you go to the prisoner of war camps, and see if our revolutionary army is all from working people, and whether the officers are all all toiling people......"

After a brief ten-minute speech, Yao ordered the POWs to be identified.

Zhou Si, who was in charge of guarding the prisoners, reported: "Chairman, a total of 2,8072 people wearing Qing army uniforms were captured, and more than 300 people were killed in the city. I guess there are still some Qing soldiers who have taken off their uniforms and are hiding in their houses, and they are now preparing to search from house to house. ”

"The search work and the collection of mules, horses and carts were launched at the same time, and all the mules, horses and carts in the city were gathered, and we must quickly empty the grain, grass and silver salaries in Pingdu City!" Yao Fandao.

"Yes."

"Separate the soldiers and officers after identification! Immediately put to death all the deviants! Those who talk to each other will also be shot! ”

"Yes."
