Chapter 0334: A sense of foreboding
The geographical location of Huangniwan in the north of Lushun is very remote, with rolling hills to the west, the sea to the east, and a flat depth of about 1.5 kilometers wide only to the south. If there is an enemy land attack, just defend the south.
The 'Lushun' was close to the coast, and the cranes installed on board lowered the two small boats. The carrying combat sappers first climbed the rope and carried the semi-finished trestle ashore for construction. The transport ship is then allowed to dock the pier to load and unload personnel and supplies.
Zhou Qingfeng stood at the bow of the boat and did not help. He only estimated the time for a moment, and then lamented the slowness and danger of the landing battle—if there was a wave of enemy troops on the shore, he would be driven out to sea. If the enemy is also equipped with shore guns, or warships, .......
It took only ten hours for the advance convoy to cross the sea, but it took five or six hours to get ashore. When half of the infantry company and half of the combat engineer company of the advance force completed the landing, the three transport ships including the 'Arthur' immediately returned. The next transport tasks will be very intensive.
The landed infantry began to set up sentry posts and advance outwards to reconnoiter the presence of possible enemies. They were joined by Dog Meat and four wolf cubs, who spent a day searching the five kilometres around Wong Nai Bay, finding only a handful of villages and tunpu, and finding nothing out of the ordinary—except for the constant blowing of the sea breeze, everything was quiet, even too quiet.
With the help of the lifted supplies, the combat sappers worked continuously for a day and a night. Sang Wenlai personally led the team to expand the landing field and build three improvised trestle bridges. The heavy physical labor exhausted them half to death, and the result was that after the successful arrival of more than 1,000 people in the follow-up fleet, it took only three hours to disembark.
The refugees who are transported are selective. They had eaten well for a while, received simple training, were able to understand orders, and were assured of obedience. After these 1,500 people came ashore, they continued to expand the landing ground as an ordinary labor force, and at the same time built houses, fortifications, fortresses.
"Young Marshal, we have set up a field hospital as planned. The medical platoon is already in place. ”
"Fourteen ditches dug from the western hills have been completed, and our water supply is assured."
"Sang Wenlai reported that two standard transport boxes of grain fell into the sea while being hoisted, and one sapper was stoned to death. Grain soaked in water is inedible and can only be disposed of as scrap. ”
Qiao Xuenian performed well in the reconnaissance operation at Wanghai Fort. In addition, he showed excellent learning ability and obtained the diploma of the intermediate advanced class in advance, so Zhou Qingfeng transferred him as a staff officer, responsible for releasing the battle plan on time and summarizing the operation situation. Since landing, he has had to report to Zhou Qingfeng every three hours, and his eyes are already red and bloodshot at this moment.
The advantage of having staff officers is that they don't need to do everything themselves, Zhou Qingfeng only needs to point out the general direction of action, and how to deploy manpower will be completed by the staff officers. For this landing, he pulled out all one-third of the boys in the intermediate advanced class of the academy to serve as staff officers. It was these people who straightened out all the trivial matters, and the whole landing went according to plan.
"You go and rest, and someone else will be on duty. We're going to be very busy, and we won't be able to finish our work for a while. "Zhou Qingfeng has a good physique, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a few days and nights. He waved Qiao Xuenian down, while he leaned against the tent of the field headquarters in a daze.
Everything went so smoothly!
The expected bitter battle did not exist at all, and the Ming army of Jinzhouwei was unaware of it.
The Ming army in Lushun had the southern city and the northern city. The southern city is deserted and ungarrisoned. There are not many soldiers in the Ming army in Beicheng, so they don't come out at all. After the first batch of troops all landed, Zhou Qingfeng expanded the reconnaissance area to 20 kilometers and found several tunbungs. The soldiers inside are more refugees than refugees.
On the fifth day after landing, more than 20 transport ships, including the 'Lushun', arrived again. Xu Bing brought more personnel and equipment to Zhou Qingfeng, which allowed him to have a large number of complete troops in his hands. The number of refugees working as ordinary laborers has risen to 3,000. At this point, Huangniwan cannot accommodate so many people, and it must be pushed outward.
If you don't move, you move like thunder.
Zhou Qingfeng personally led the team, and Han Shi's cavalry company dispatched, and more than 100 people rushed to the north city south of Lushun, preparing to occupy the port. At the same time, a company of tall cattle infantry rode and maneuvered, attacking Kiba Station to the east, blocking the connection between Lushun and Jinzhou City. When the cavalry appeared from the road, the defenders of the fort along the way were inexplicable.
These forts in Lushun were set up to prevent the Japanese from coming ashore, and the Japanese had not been here for decades. The Ming troops stationed in Tunpu all farmed for a living, and it was very strange that such a group of guys on horseback suddenly appeared in the north. The northernmost pheasant mound was inhabited by more than a dozen families, and they watched the cavalry company kill in front of them.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't attack these villagers either, but just ordered the small leader of the Ming army guarding the pier to be tied up and taken away, saying that this person was corrupt and bent the law to be arrested and beheaded.
When the cavalry company first appeared, the people were afraid and did not dare to stop it. But when Zhou Qingfeng grabbed the general flag of the Ming army in the pheasant pier, the villagers in the pier happily went on the road to intercept when they heard the news, shouting 'Lord Qingtian', and sending eggs to Zhou Qingfeng - Zhou Qingfeng couldn't cry or laugh.
If you are wrong, you will be wrong!
Since you are 'willingly' to be thieves, you are not welcome.
Zhou Qingfeng simply stood at the head of the village and executed the general banner of the Ming army guarding the pier on the spot, and also announced that he was a messenger sent by God, who was specially responsible for coming to Lushun to investigate the people's situation and severely punish the lawlessness - there are grievances to revenge, there is revenge, although the lawless ones who are rampant on weekdays are arrested, I will go to Lushun North City to make decisions for you.
Zhou Qingfeng rode a puppet giant wolf, hideous and mighty. After the cavalry company behind him was reorganized, a lot of veteran oil was eliminated and a lot of new blood was added. It is well-equipped, the military appearance is neat, the discipline is strict, and more than a hundred people appear in a queue and quietly, only the sound of the war horse occasionally appears - this posture is more royal than the king's division, it is too shocking.
Many of the people of the pheasant pier have never been out of the mound in their lives, and today they encountered a fake Qincha. It's just that when the small leaders of the Ming army and their lackeys who usually oppress the people were identified, arrested, and executed one by one, the hundreds of people in the pier were more happy than the New Year - Zhou Qingfeng said that he would be the master of the people in Lushun Beicheng, and the people immediately believed that he was sent by God.
The cavalry company continued to advance southward, and the news that God had sent Qin to help the suffering spread quickly without any hindrance. Zhou Qingfeng, who tasted the sweetness, originally wanted to advance quickly, but he changed his mind and ran to several tunbao next, all of which first arrested the leaders of the Ming army stationed as soon as they appeared, and then summoned the people to identify the crimes.
There were no good people among the leaders of the Ming army in the guard, and they all treated their military households as slaves. Watching Zhou Qingfeng use a whip to smoke those old men who are usually high-minded, the onlookers did not applaud and cry with joy.
After a short trial and immediate execution, Zhou Qingfeng and the cavalry company blew from north to south like a whirlwind. The people in this grassroots health center couldn't judge Zhou Qingfeng's origin at all, but they felt that there was a big man who could be angry for himself, and he was so happy that he wanted to eat the pot pulp.
Zhou Qingfeng originally just deceived the people in these places, killing chickens and monkeys, and didn't want to waste too much time on them. Who knew that the crooked attack had stimulated their revolutionary enthusiasm. He said that he was going to Lushun Beicheng, so a bunch of people shouted that they wanted to lead the way, and told him all the details in Beicheng.
This is really the vast sea of the people's war!
Zhou Qingfeng basically held an armed parade and traveled more than 30 miles in one go to Lushun Beicheng - most of the military supplies in the entire Liaodong had to be disembarked from the port of Beicheng and transported to various places. The officers and soldiers of the Jinzhou Weizhong Left Station were stationed here, and the commander of this place was a Ming military officer.
But no matter who it was, they didn't expect that Zhou Qingfeng, an anti-thief, would be bold enough to kill him. When he led the cavalry company to rush into the city from the north of the 'mighty gate', the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison did not dare to stop him at all, and they were stupid and sold their officers.
The circumference of Lushun North City is no more than a mile, and this city is pitifully small, only the size of seven or eight football fields. Nominally, there are at least a few hundred Ming troops here, but in reality there are not even a hundred. The garrison Lord Beiyu was caught out of his house by Zhou Qingfeng, and he was so frightened that he was screaming for mercy. He didn't know what was going on. Patronizing the heart was scared.
Due to the suddenness of the cavalry company, as soon as they entered the city, they blocked the north and south gates, and then the whole city was seized. still used the saying that Qin sent people to arrest people, encouraged the people in the city to report and expose, and even sent the perpetrators to Zhou Qingfeng. The people who were agitated were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, and they came to denounce them one after another.
For those who are extremely angry with the people, they are executed on the spot, and there is no mercy. Basically, all the people with heads and faces in the northern city were slaughtered. When Zhou Qingfeng found that the common people were no longer satisfied with promoting justice, but began to expose each other and expand their hatred, he immediately stopped killing people, and instead ordered martial law, confiscated weapons, and calmed down the situation.
A battle for the capture of the city went extremely simple and smoothly.
While stabilizing the northern city of Arthur, he raided the small Lushun Naval Division, executed several naval division officers, and took control of several broken ships in the harbor. At the same time, Gao Daniu sent people to report that the Kiba Station was also successfully taken, and the Ming army stationed at the post station was executed, and the rest all surrendered. The communication channel between Lushun and Jinzhou City was closed.
"Han Shi, you immediately lead people to continue to raid the Tieshandun and other tunbao in Lushun. It is still in accordance with the methods we have done all the way to exterminate and kill those who do evil and mobilize the common people. ”
"Qiao Xuenian, you personally go to Huangniwan and return to Yingkou by boat to report to Xu Bing. Tell her that I have successfully won Lushun, but I may face a counterattack from the direction of Golden State at any time. She knew what to do. ”
"The rest ......, we don't have enough manpower, and controlling Lushun is already the limit. We can only wait for those big masters in Golden State to come and fight us, and prepare to defend and counterattack. ”
When the tall bull raided the Kiba Station, he still let some of the Ming troops stationed in it flee. Waiting for the news to reach Jinzhou City, Li Rubai, the new Liaodong General Soldier who stayed in Jinzhou, did not believe it at all. He glared at the fleeing soldiers and asked, "Don't you bluff me?" The foreign enemy raided Lushun? The enemy is in the north, we are the southernmost part of Liaodong, where are the foreign enemies? ”
Li Rubai has been in Jinzhou for more than a month, and has been waiting for the troops assigned to him to come from all over the Ming Dynasty. He also knew that the Ming army was moving slowly, and at this time, reinforcements from all over the country were only afraid that they had just taken the silver and just set off. Even if the reinforcements from the north and south are close to each other, they must go to Shanhaiguan Juniper first. What he has is patience to wait, and he thinks he will have to wait for a few more months.
As a result, the reinforcements were slow to disappear, and the first one to arrive was actually a very fast thief.
How is this acceptable?
This thief is too bold!
The soldiers who fled back couldn't tell what was going on, but the news of Lushun's loss had spread. Ouyang Jun, who had also been in Lushun for more than a month, said to Luo Lie with annoyance: "I feel a little ominous. ”
