Chapter 18: Occupy Sansha Town

The Ma family is the largest landlord in Sansha Town, not only occupying thousands of acres of fertile land here, but also half of the shops in the town are also controlled by the Ma family, plus the mayor of Sansha Town is the eldest son of the old lady of the Ma family, so even the county magistrate of the county has to give the Ma family some face, therefore, no one dares to take care of the Ma family who usually bully the market and run rampant in the township!

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was not the new China of later generations, the administrative organs of the Qing Dynasty were only set up at the county level, and the towns below were all managed by the gentry who supported their rule, and as long as the taxes were paid on time, the county lords would no longer care! Originally, Huo Shan also considered using the Kuomintang to implement it. After thinking about it, I found that the Qing Dynasty at this time had not yet experienced the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, and after the Westernization Movement set up a large industry, it also made most of the scholars and doctors who held power in their hands see the hope of the Zhongxing country, and at this time, the idea of "mínzhǔ republic" was not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as it was more than 30 years later, so it was simply thankless to use the three mínzhǔ to guide China's revolution.

Moreover, at this time, China had just begun to send students abroad, and it was not the situation that most of the high-level talents in the country came from the landlord class, so Huo Shan wisely chose to abandon the landlord class that controlled the country, and chose to become a representative of the regime representing the fundamental interests of peasants, workers and national capitalists!

"Fighting local tyrants and dividing the land," "political propaganda," and "grievance campaign" were important means for Huo Shan to hand over to his army to solve fundamental problems. He wants to follow in the footsteps of the great man and liberate the country!

"Commander, this is the Ma family!" Zhang Long said, pointing to the tall wall in the distance.

"Well, I see!"

"First Battalion Commander!"

"Bring your people to surround it for me, if you let one go, I'll only ask you, go!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Hu turned his head to a fierce young soldier beside him, and said with a smile: "I have heard your captain in front of me all day long, and praised how powerful your Cheetah Special Brigade is!

It has been more than three months since the formation of the special forces! The 400 people recruited at the beginning have been eliminated with continuous training, and after three months, they have become an army, and only 214 people remain, and a total of 20 squads and seven squadrons have been formed.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the brother troops, and also to increase their actual combat experience, this time the cheetah also brought thirty jīng sharp special forces!

"Yes, chief, I believe that the performance of the cheetah will not disappoint the chief!"

Looking at his young and confident face, Huo Hu said with a smile: "Captain, it seems that you are very confident!"

"Yes, Chief!" "Then let's see!"

Picking up the Type 80 sniper rifle with a quadruple scope in his hand, he turned around and said, "The second squadron comes with me!"

As his words fell, a group of jīng warriors dressed in colorful combat uniforms, with rifles in their hands, large canvas backpacks on their backs, steel helmets on their heads, and their faces covered with camouflage, quickly gathered together.

"A small team followed me to enter from the front, the second team and the third team entered from the left and right sides respectively, try not to use firearms, they are all our countrymen, if possible, don't kill people, just knock them out!"

"Got it?"

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"

Watching the thirty people quickly disappear into the night, Huo Hu did it to the ground with a butt, and said with a smile: "These guys are not simple, the young master is like a treasure when he holds them, light machine guns, pistols, and melon grenades have just been developed, and they are equipped, and Lao Tzu is drooling when he sees it!"

"Hehe, yes! With equipment and training, one special soldier is worth the cost of ten of our soldiers, which is really luxurious! However, the combat effectiveness of these guys is indeed very strong, and the dozen or so scouts of our regiment are all eliminated by others, but when they fight with our soldiers, they all beat us several times, which is very powerful!" Political Commissar Zhao Guang said next to him.

"That is, what the young master did was a failure once, since he dared to spend such a big price to form a cheetah special force, of course, it is far from being comparable to an ordinary army!" Huo Hu said with a smile.

"Report, the gate of Majiazhuang is open!" Just as everyone was chatting, a young soldier from Jǐng Ring in the distance ran over and reported.

"It's less than five minutes!" said Chief of Staff Qian Gang after taking out the pocket watch he had been distributed, and looking at it.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

At night, Majiazhuang has been illuminated by torches, and the garden in the courtyard has been laid out by jīng, so that Huo Hu, who is used to seeing the Huo family's mansion, can't help but be a little surprised!

"The British Enfield rifle! Hehe, it's really rich! Now most of the Qing army's army still has big swords and spears! These landlords and old fortunes have all used modern guns!" Huo Hu looked at the rifles piled up next to him, and said to his colleagues behind him with a smile.

"You bandits, do you know that the old lady of my Ma family is the best friend of the county master, if you know each other, hurry back, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

However, this time he was looking for the wrong target, and was kicked up by the jǐng guard who was following Huo Hu, kicked the gourd on the ground, and lay on the ground screaming.

"Heroes, I don't know if it's the heroes on that mountain, my Ma family is willing to offer gold and silver, and I ask you not to embarrass my family!" Old lady Ma has been in the world all his life, although he usually acts as a prestige in the town, but his eyes are very poisonous! These people who are wearing colorful clothes, each with a gun, and no braids on the back of their heads, are not easy to mess with! Therefore, they are also very polite when they speak!

"Hehe, who we are, you will soon know!Take them all down!" Huo Hu said with a sneer.

"Okay, everyone is tired after a busy day, let's rest here today, leave the soldiers on duty, and talk about the rest tomorrow!"

――――――

A few hours passed quickly, and after dawn, the people who opened the door to do business in the town almost immediately spotted the Huo family soldiers standing on duty on the street.

Last night's operation went well, coupled with the strict discipline of the army, so except for a few families living near the Ma family's mansion and hearing some movements, no one knew what was going on in the town. However, the soldiers carrying guns on the street made them close the doors of their homes one after another, and they just kept looking out through the cracks in the doors, speculating about what was happening in the town.

"This operation is very smooth, so far we have taken the entire Sansha Town, a total of 11 landlords have been arrested, 25,300 taels of gold, 1,380,000 taels of silver, 19 boxes of jewelry, jade and various antiques, 12,000 acres of land deeds, 156 house deeds, 68 shops, 367 rifles have been seized in the operation, **, a number of earth cannons, 589 cold weapons such as knives and guns, and the total value of this batch of finances is estimated to be more than 3 million taels of silver!" As soon as the soldier in charge of raiding the house finished reporting, there was a sound of gasping in the spacious living room.

"My good man! Just such a small town has copied so much silver! These landlords and old rich people are too rich! Now the young master can't say that our army only spends money and doesn't make money! Do you think I should ask the young master for weapons and equipment again!" Huo Hu said with an excited face.

"Yes, yes, the regimental commander should have ten more 60 mortars, that thing is powerful, and it is convenient to carry ......"

The M1 'Scorpion' light machine gun that I used to test last time was already coveted by Lao Tzu......

"It's best to equip us with a 'Black Star' pistol, the guy hangs on his waist, and in the words of the young master, 'That's called handsome!'......"

A large group of officers who were completely seized by the huge amount of gold and silver, and their hearts were shaken, and they had a heated discussion.

"Okay, stop arguing, what do you look like!" Huo Hu scolded.

"Alright, you go on!"

"Since we started at night and moved very quickly, there were no casualties!" the soldier said, handing over the paper with all the information in his hand.

After Huo Hu took it, he didn't look at it, and handed it over to Zhao Guang, the political commissar next to him.

"Well, it's easier than we thought! But we can't be complacent! After all, we have only just taken Sansha Town, and there are six towns in Xiapu County, so our mission has just begun, and now I announce a new combat order, the first battalion, one company, and the second company, to attack Xinan Town, the third and fourth companies to attack Shajiang Town, the second battalion, the fifth and sixth companies to attack Changchūn Town, the seventh and eighth companies to attack Xiahu Town, the third battalion, the ninth and tenth companies to attack Yacheng Town, the eleventh and twelfth companies to garrison Sansha Town, the fourth battalion and the teaching company as reserves, and to guard against the green battalion soldiers in the county seat. Do all the troops understand?"

"Understood!
