Chapter 47: Tauk Tau Hu 2

"Surround it, first surround these bandits, ask the governor for help, get one or two cannons, blast the earthen wall open, and the rest of the matter will be easy to say." Qin Yu now has eight Makqin heavy machine guns, this time he brought four, emergency use, four Makqin is also a great weapon in the new army, and the Xinhai Revolution Hubei New Army suffered a big loss in the hands of the Beiyang Army, because of the heavy machine guns. At this time, the Mongolian bandits were guarding behind the seemingly solid earthen wall, but in fact they were killing themselves, as long as they waited for most of the officers and soldiers to arrive and surround the place, it was only a matter of time before they annihilated this group of Mongolian bandits. Moving the heavy machine gun out too early, not to mention wasting bullets, may also cause the jealousy of Zhang Zuolin and others prematurely.

"I have one or two cannons, and they are in Zhengjiatun, but it takes a lot of time to transport them." Zhang Zuolin frowned.

"That's better than directly using human lives, wait and see, anyway, the bandits have now become turtles in the urn, and they can't run away." Qin Yu said with a smile.

Zhang Zuolin saw that Qin Yu did not agree to the strong attack, and he could only do so, and he couldn't hit it with his strength alone.

At that moment, Zhang Zuolin sent more than 100 people to fetch guns from Zhengjiaton. Qin Yu was quite surprised when he heard Zhang Zuolin say that he had a cannon, but after seeing the real thing, his interest suddenly decreased greatly, there was a lot of rust on the cannon, and there were only sixteen shells. It's just a mountain cannon, and Qin Yu has no confidence at all whether he can knock on the defense of the Meng bandits.

"Quick, dodge, dodge, this cannon is out, it's earth-shattering." Two soldiers who had been using the cannon stepped forward with shells and shouted loudly. "The turtle son, I thought it would be okay if I didn't come out, see if Lao Tzu didn't kill your mother."

Qin Yu stood far away from the cannon, for fear that this old-fashioned mountain cannon would blow up and not die on the battlefield, and if he died here, it was not an ordinary wrong.

The gunner was busy for a while, directing the people to move the guns, and then a group of soldiers covered the gunners from the side.

With a thud, the cannonball came out of its chamber and flew into the earthen wall in front of it.

"It's gone, it's gone." Some of the soldiers cheered, but the accuracy was really limited, and the shell fell behind the wall of fire about seven or eight feet away, and it did not explode for half a day, so there was no doubt that it was a dud.

"Damn, as long as you can blow up a small piece of the earthen wall, Lao Tzu will reward five hundred oceans!" The accuracy was a little outrageous, the shell did not explode, and Zhang Zuolin's face suddenly became a little unbearable, and his face was black.

"Again, again." The gunner secretly screamed bad luck and reloaded again, this time the performance was a little better, the cannonball fell near the earthen wall, but the explosion was not much louder than the woman's humming, not to mention the explosion of the earthen wall, the power was not as big as the firecracker.

More than a dozen shells fired eleven rounds, and Qin Yu was already completely hopeless.

"Since the court decided to train the new army, our patrol army has become a stepmother's raiser, grandpa doesn't hurt, grandma doesn't love it, I think we should find another way." Qin Yu sighed and said, secretly his stomach was about to hurt with laughter, these two cannons are really fucking cheats.

"Who said no, brother, you left the provincial capital of Fengtian early, and you didn't see the leaders of the new army, all of them are new military uniforms, Hanyang-made rifles, military clothes, and food are all good, a cannon battalion, eighteen polished cannons, as long as there is one such cannon, one cannon is enough to solve the earthen wall in front of you." ZHANG ZUOLIN'S HANDS ON HIS WAIST ARE QUITE AUTHENTIC, NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS ALL MADE IN HANYANG, THE 75MM MOUNTAIN CANNON IS EATEN, AND ZHANG ZUOLIN'S PATROL BATTALION CANNOT BE FULLY GUARANTEED UNDER THE DEDUCTION OF THE SUPERIORS. The front garrison was in Zhengjiatun, and he also relied on Yu Wendou, a grain merchant in Zhengjiatun, to help raise money.

"The cannon doesn't work anymore, what should I do now, I can't keep surrounding it like this, the bandits eat and drink inside the wall, we don't even have a place to live outside, it's okay if the sun comes out today, if the sky changes, the weather is cold, not to mention the war, I was frozen first." It was the beginning of 1908, and most of the northern country was still covered in ice, and although the sun was hanging in the sky, the temperature was still not high, and it was very cold at night.

"It's hard to block Tao Ke Tao Hu here, it's definitely going to be beaten, I thought of a way, but it's a little time-consuming." Qin Yu thought for a moment and said.

"What's the solution?" Zhang Zuolin and the others hurriedly asked.

"Tired of attacking the city, I calculated, the wall of the Mongolian bandits is only one zhang high, a passage about four meters wide, only 167,000 catties of soil can be piled up to a place about the same height as the earthen wall, let's divide the army into several groups, one group of end walls is responsible for suppressing the firepower of the Mongolian bandits on the earthen wall, one group uses sand to pack soil, throw it directly under the corner of the wall, throw it and run back, counting the time of the bandits' harassment and delay, less than four or five days of effort, it is enough to lay down the bandits' soil fence."

"In this method, Brother Qin, I can't see that your brain is so good, so let's do it, I want to see what other tricks these bandits have." Zhang Zuolin smiled, and immediately arranged for someone to go to Zhengjiadun to get the sack, and let people rush to make a large number of cloth bags, the cloth bags do not need to be too big, and it is more convenient to transport them with twenty or thirty catties of soil at a time.

The movement of the officers and soldiers quickly alarmed the Mongolian bandits, and at first some of the Mongolian bandits did not pay much attention, but after Tao Ketaohu heard the news, the whole person became serious. I went to the place where the officers and soldiers had built the soil and took a look, and they were almost hit by the bullets of the officers and soldiers, and Tao Ketaohu, who had gone down the earthen wall, was worried, and the officers and soldiers only needed to pile up a passage about three or four meters wide, and the number of Mongolian bandits who could go up to the wall to shoot at the officers and soldiers was extremely limited, and the officers and soldiers could not please the Mongolian bandits when they were shooting on the ground and had sufficient ammunition. In particular, the officers and soldiers were too cunning, and at the same time of building the soil, they burned the damp grass and trees at the upwind outlet, and a large amount of thick smoke blew in the direction of the Mongolian bandits, although the soil was affected to a certain extent, but these people covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, and they were still able to transport the soil to the corners of the wall, but the shooting of the Mongolian bandits on the wall was greatly affected. The bandits had limited ammunition and could not afford to waste it under aimless fire.

"Boss Tao, what should I do, the official army has already built more than half of the earth, and if it continues like this, it will only take two or three days at most, and it will be able to directly attack the wall." Bai Yinda was anxious. Yashi, Batarcang, Curly Pig Iron, and Baiyin Tusi were killed one after another, and he also set in the sunset, and now if Tauk Taohu cleans up the official army again, these righteous troops will really be cornered.

"The officers and soldiers are strong and strong, and the ammunition is full, and it is definitely not possible to fight hard, so we can only take the opportunity to break through."

The wall of the pot that had been in operation for a short time was broken by the officials and soldiers, and Tao Ke Taohu was also very depressed. In fact, in history, Zhang Zuolin and other patrol troops stormed the wall of the burning pot and took more than 700 heavy casualties before taking it down.

"Now that there are officers and soldiers everywhere outside, how can we rush out?" Bai Yin Da asked him.

"Naturally, I left a way back."
