Chapter 32: Map of the Grasslands

"Bah, bah!" Qin Yu held a rifle and led his subordinates to move forward bravely, chasing the Mongolian bandits who retreated in a panic. Wang Yuhai, Ding Cheng and others were guarding Qin Yu's side, ready to rush out at any time.

The battle continued for nearly three hours before the gunfire stopped sporadically.

It took another hour to clear up the situation in the entire Heishui Town, and Qin Yu directly moved the headquarters to a mansion provided by the town mayor Hu Changqing.

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Qin is famous in Benxi, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and it only took a few hours to defeat more than four or five hundred bandits, and beheaded a lot, if it wasn't for Lord Qin to arrive in time this time, I'm afraid that Heishui Town would have to suffer a catastrophe, and hundreds of people in the town must be grateful to Lord Qin, and they dare not forget it." Hu Changqing, who was over fifty years old, saluted Qin Yu, who was not much older than his grandson.

"Mayor Hu is polite, I was ordered by the Governor to suppress the bandits in Jingbian, but my thousands of troops traveled thousands of miles to come, and the food and baggage I carried were not much, and I had to rely on Mayor Hu to help me raise more." Qin Yu wiped the beads of sweat on his face with a wet towel, after a battle just now, Qin Yu didn't have many opportunities to go into battle, but in such a hot weather, it was riding a horse and fighting again, and it was not normal to not sweat. "The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the recapture of Taonan Mansion City is not something that can be done in a day or two, and there will inevitably be a period of war later, and logistics will be very important at that time, as long as there is no problem with the food, recapture Taonan Mansion City, Mayor Hu is also a great achievement, and I will reward the Governor for his meritorious deeds."

"Of course, the old man must do his best to assist Lord Qin to recapture Taonan as soon as possible and pacify the bandits." As soon as Hu Changqing heard Qin Yu say that he could also share the credit for suppressing the bandits, and even had the opportunity to show his face in front of the governor, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "This time, the bandits curled up the pig iron killed several rich families in the town, and even the land deeds were burned, leaving only a few lonely widows and children. ”

"Hundreds of acres of fertile land?" Qin Yu touched his chin, the northeast is vast and sparsely populated, no more than Guannei, a local gentry with a little more powerful has a hundred acres of land is nothing.

"The decay is estimated to be more than 370 acres." Hu Changqing said, he knows all the rich families in the town, and he usually drinks and eats together.

"Be a man and leave a line, see each other well in the future, and you can't bully others into being lonely and widowed, leave half of the land for them, and you can take one percent of the rest, and there are four deals for me to deal with." Qin Yu said.

"Yes, sir." Hu Changqing nodded, it seems that although this Lord Qin is in a high position, his heart is not too bad.

"My lord, the results of this battle have been counted." Wang Kairu, the secretary of the army, took an account book, and walked in with Chen Shengwu and Zhang Shun.

"Read."

"In this operation, our army killed 67 Mongolian bandits, captured 31 people, and about 60 people fled. 49 rifles of various types and 13 knives of various types were seized. 26 horses. ”

"In addition, our army lost 14 killed, 5 seriously wounded, 29 lightly wounded, and 1,393 rounds of rifle ammunition were consumed."

"According to this combat intensity, it is estimated that it will consume 40,000 or 50,000 rounds of rifle ammunition to capture Taonan Fucheng, and we still have nearly 200,000 rounds, which is enough to deal with the battle behind." Yang Xing estimated that there were thousands of Mongolian bandits in Taonan Fu City, and according to this estimate, there was already a certain amount of space.

"Don't just count the bullets, but also the casualties, if you can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, it's not a big deal to shoot more bullets, isn't my soldiers worth this ammunition money, we don't have artillery in our hands, and it is not easy to attack Taonan City." Qin Yu shook his head and said, "Although today's battle is short, it is only the first time we have fought with the enemy in the town, and the environment in the town is similar to the one that entered Taonanfu City to a certain extent. ”

"My lord is right, when I fought with Benxi Beard before, I didn't think that these Mongolian bandits were much more fierce, and they were nothing in the wild, and the heavy machine gun swept away, once they entered the city, the roads extended in all directions, and the enemy would come out of other streets at any time, and the combat environment was much more complicated." Yang Xing, Li Chengwen and others nodded in agreement.

"Mountain warfare, plain warfare, and urban street warfare are all different concepts, and after the environment changes, we should all take corresponding measures, and we still have a lot to do to reduce the casualties of soldiers. After most of the city arrives in Heishui Town, spend a few days doing a few drills to get acquainted with it. Qin Yu smiled later, "I think you might as well write articles around different battlefields, study them carefully, and maybe in a few decades, you can also come up with Yang Xing's Art of War, or Li Chengwen's Art of War, Zhang Shun's Art of War and the like." ”

"If you don't know a lot of big characters in a lowly position, it's not too embarrassing to write a book in a lowly position." Li Chengwen and several others smiled bitterly.

"If you don't know a basket of big characters, you can learn, it's really not good, you can let someone write on your behalf, if you don't want to pull it down for others, go and discuss it as soon as possible, you can't let the sentry commanders below in the future, or the team is teaching you how to fight." Qin Yu said.

"Since the adults have proposed so many combat methods, why don't you write a book yourself, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself." Zhang Shundao.

"If I finish the work alone, what do you want to do, besides, Zhuge Wuhou is tired to death, I don't have Zhuge Liang's talent, where can I be busy." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"My lord, the Japanese Fune Hayashisuke asks to see you." The guard at the door came in and said loudly.

"Japanese?" Qin Yu was stunned, how could there be Japanese in a place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs.

"By the way, my lord, before the Mongolian bandits killed a Japanese, tied up six, and also searched out some Japanese things, when I cleaned up the battlefield before, I took a look at it, except for some gold and silver, a few pistols, all of them are maps." Li Chengwen patted his head and said.

"Bring everything over and I'll take a look." Qin Yu said to the guards again, "You ask Xiaochuan Lin Zhu to wait in the living room first, and I will see him later." ”

Li Chengwen quickly asked people to bring over the Japanese package, which was a thick stack of maps. It was wrapped in thick brown paper, and it was clear that the Japanese valued the drawing, but the brown paper outside was torn to pieces by the bandits.

"Second Young Master, what is this ghost drawing talisman made by the Japanese?" Zhang Shun looked at the lines on it, and there were some Japanese words that he couldn't understand and couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yu had studied Japanese for a period of time in his previous life, and he couldn't speak it, and it was a little difficult to read words, but he could also read these maps in general.

"This is a map of the Mongolian steppe west of Taoliao, and those Japanese are draftsmen." Qin Yu's face was a little cold, the rise of the Japanese is really not a fluke, they will put a lot of energy into the established purpose. Unlike the late Qing government, which was still greedy for pleasure at this time.

"My lord, what should I do?" Li Chengwen asked.

"Put it in its original place, light a fire on it, burn most of it and then extinguish it, and I'll send someone to ask you later." Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "You go and prepare for the next exercise, summarize the experience of this operation, and let me meet these Japanese." ”
