After another ten minutes, all 29 bids finally entered this road. The squad leader immediately said: "Shanwa, give a signal to the headquarters, and all the enemy vanguards have entered the minefield......

The correspondent next to him immediately turned on the radio station, clicked the button, and the radio came out with a slight "bump...... Sudden ......" sound. This experimental small radio station could not yet make direct voice calls, but could only communicate with telegraph code.

A few minutes later, the combat sappers, who were lying in ambush in the nearby hills, connected to the headquarters command.

"Comrade Company Commander, there is a call from the headquarters, the enemy vanguard has all entered the minefield......"

"Got it. Comrades, prepare to detonate immediately! Blow up these turtle sons!" Yi Damao jumped up excitedly, and the combat sappers who had been waiting impatiently for a long time suddenly cheered, hurriedly rushed to their positions, opened the safety of the electronic detonator, and pumped up the piezoelectric pole.

"Don't panic, detonate in order!" Yi Damao stood up cautiously and looked at the road down the mountain with a telescope.

Yi Damao retracted back, raised the small red flag in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Ready!" Then, the red flag in his hand waved down hard: "Detonate ............"

The combat sappers immediately pressed the piezoelectric poles in the predetermined order......

Zhang Jingliang, who was observing the surrounding situation, suddenly stepped on a small pebble, did not stand firm under his feet, and fell down after a stumble.

"Oh, Lord Biaotong......" Before the horses could react, Wen Yindi, who was beside him, and a few other leading parties hurriedly ran over, scrambling to help Lord Biaotong.

"I'm fine......" Zhang Jingliang secretly called unlucky, and waved his hand to those sycophants, he was not so fragile, and was about to say refusal, but in the corner of his eye, the street sign diagonally opposite suddenly rose up a fireball and exploded......

"Boom Boom~~~Boom Boom~~~~Boom Boom~~~"

In just an instant, all the street signs exploded one after another, and the officers and soldiers of the 29th Standard who were marching were unprepared, they never dreamed that the street signs would also explode, and they were suddenly blown up to the ground. Because it happened so suddenly, most of them didn't even have time to scream before they were torn apart by the splatters of steel balls and shrapnel.

Of course, this is not a real street sign, just a heavy anti-infantry directional mine disguised as a street sign. At the beginning of the 21st century, the charge of directional mines in various countries was only one kilogram, but Kyodo did not have a c4 in its hands at present, and it was afraid that the power would not be enough, so the charge was a little larger, a full five kilograms of TnT! This is equivalent to the current charge of 1o5mm shells. In later generations, the 1o5mm cannon was only an entry-level artillery, but at this time it is already an out-and-out heavy artillery.

And on this section of the road, 12o such directional mines are arranged obliquely, which is equivalent to 12o heavy shells. Hit at close range by 12o heavy shells, and most of the energy is focused into a directional radiation, if there are still intact corpses left, you can already thank the heavens.

In less than three seconds, all the 2oo5 officers and men of the 29 standard infantry lost their combat effectiveness, and among them, only Zhang Jingliang, the standard commander, was not injured at all.

Zhang Biaotong stared blankly at the corpses all over the ground, the road with blood flowing and drifting, and his brain was blank.

This is also his luck, when he just fell on the side of the road, and everyone came around to pat him, the directional mine exploded. Those leading party and Ma Ben became his human shields, and the "shields" were killed and wounded, but he himself did not lose a single hair.

He didn't even realize what was going on now. Although his face and military uniform were stained with blood, they were all someone else's. Wen Yindi, who had been slapping his ass all the way, died, a piece of shrapnel pierced his skull, and the other leading parties were all dead, and their bodies were beaten into a sieve by high-flying steel balls. A few of the horses were not much better, and they were all lying motionless in pools of blood.

"I must be having a nightmare...... "Zhang Biaotong muttered to himself in despair, he couldn't believe his eyes, this was a whole standard, and it was all wiped out in a few seconds.

Not only were they stunned, but even the makers of this Shura field were stunned.

"Lian...... Company commander, what did we really do?" a soldier from the Combat Engineer Company asked after a long time of coming back to his senses and stammering.

"When...... Yes, of course...... It's not ...... Whole...... It's all gone......" Yi Damao felt that his throat was very dry, and he swallowed hard to feel better.

That's right, this plan to use directional mines to pretend to be street signs was his idea from Yi Damao. According to his original idea, it was even more perverted, he wanted to arrange all the directional mines on this road, and when the new army came, it would be all reimbursed at once. It's just that the number of directional mines is not enough, only enough to lay out a stretch of road, but this is enough.

At this moment, a large group of warriors stood on the slopes on both sides, and they rushed down the road with a hula and a hula.

"Quick, follow me to capture the prisoners! Battalion 3 has gone down, damn, we can't let them take advantage of it. Yi Damao reacted suddenly, hurriedly grabbed the Chuntian rifle, and was the first to jump out of the bunker. The combat sappers also followed with guns.

....................................................................................

At this time, the main force of the crusading army was still five kilometers away, and such a loud noise also alarmed them.

"What's going on up ahead?" asked the co-ordinator king triumphantly riding on his horse.

"It's like an explosion!"

"Standard 29 does not have a cannon, how can there be an explosion?"

"It's so dense, how does it sound like firecrackers?" said one of the officers, a little confused. The directional mines exploded in order, and from a distance it did sound like firecrackers.

"It's not good! There is an ambush! 29 Biao was ambushed by the bandits! The bandits must have used explosives!" Wang Desheng is also a veteran and experienced, so he quickly reacted. "Start ...... on the spot right away"

Halfway through his words, a ball of blood suddenly burst out of his chest, and Wang Desheng's expression suddenly froze on his face, and he fell straight down like a stake.

"Smack~~~" Only then did a gunshot sound.

As he approached, there was another burst of gunfire, and the officers around Wang Desheng were all killed and wounded by bullets fired from a distance, just like him. In the blink of an eye, a bunch of officers were all lying down. On the hillside in the distance, hundreds of revolutionary army snipers had turned their guns and aimed at other targets.

The new army column suddenly stopped, and the officers and men looked at each other, all shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Sharpshooter of the bandits!!!" shouted a horseman, and hurried towards Wang Desheng.

Before he could run a few steps, he heard a sound of "boom~~~", and a shell exploded more than ten meters away, and this horse and several soldiers around him were directly blown away by the shock wave.

There was more than one shell, "Boom Boom Boom ~~~ Boom Boom Boom Boom

These Han new army Su zhì were much better than the banner soldiers, at least they knew how to put scouts in front and around, but these scouts were also the first to be unlucky. While sniping at the senior officers, the scouts were also attacked from the nearby grass.

This time, the revolutionary army used 24 mountain guns and 64 mortars, which were divided into 8 artillery positions, because they were all arranged on the anti-slope plane, and the scouts of the new army did not show up at all. They calibrated the coordinates in advance, and they didn't even need to test fire, they just fired the gun.

When the first round of five volleys was over, the soldiers on the hillside undisguised, 24 Maxim heavy machine guns were revealed, and then 24 chains of fire lashed down at the new army. The snipers also selected their targets, and the quadruple optical sights were shrouded in the officers.

The new army, which had just been blown apart by the artillery, fell into the hell of a rain of bullets......

Seeing that it was almost over, Rossi, who was sitting in the front line headquarters, gave an order: "Stop the attack, all troops are on standby, try to persuade them to surrender first......"

Immediately, several loudspeakers hidden on the surrounding hillsides were withdrawn, shouting to the still dazed Forces nouvelles below.

"Surrender your guns!"

"The revolutionary army treats prisoners preferentially! Brothers of the new army, stop working for the corrupt Manchu Dynasty and surrender quickly!"

Most of the senior and middle-ranking officers of the new army have been killed and wounded in the stormy attack just now, and the rest, like the soldiers, have been knocked out of their souls, and then look at the black holes on the hillside The number of muzzles is uncountable, and the morale is suddenly cleared.

In a few moments, several white flags were raised in the new army.

"Surrender, surrender, stop fighting!!" several officers shouted hoarsely up the hill, they were really terrified. These officers and soldiers have basically never experienced war, and they see that within a few minutes, their own army is scattered, and in addition to their own loyalty to the Qing court, there is no morale.

The artillery, sappers and baggage soldiers who lagged further behind were even less combat-effective. Although their position was not shelled, after being swept by more than 6o light machine guns, they knelt directly and obediently surrendered. Not to mention the people who followed behind, as soon as the guns rang out, these civilians lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, and none of them were fine, not even their skin was scratched.

....................................................................................

In this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, the actual battle took only 10 minutes, but it took more than half a day to clean up the battlefield afterwards. In addition to the revolutionary army and the local civilians who volunteered to help, those civilians brought by the Hubei New Army were also ordered to help clean up the battlefield.

"Yi Damao, it's all your bad idea, and the road we just repaired has to be repaired again......

"That'......s it, the drain is full of blood, you guy is so ruthless, you killed 2ooo people at once!

During the cleaning war, the section of the road in the 29th standard was the worst, and the entire 29th standard and dozens of leading the way party were almost completely wiped out, with blood, broken flesh and stumps everywhere, and there were not many complete corpses. The dozen or so survivors that the soldiers managed to find out from the pile of meat were also wounded, and they didn't know if they could be saved.

The soldiers who came here to clean up were so disgusted by this hellish scene that many people vomited, and Yi Damao, who was the initiator, naturally received the most attacks.

Yi Damao didn't feel disgusting, but it didn't feel good to be pointed out by Qianfu, so he had to say weakly: "Uh, this...... I...... I didn't know it would be so powerful...... Pay attention next time...... Pay attention next time......"

That night, the Pingdingshan base was full of jubilation.

The fighters were beaming with joy and talking loudly about today's victory. The canteen also added food today, and everyone was given a braised chicken leg, a bowl of braised pork, 2 salted eggs, and half a liter of sugarcane wine (produced by Xingke). The staff on duty can only go back to eat and drink after the change of guard.

After the celebration banquet, officers at and above the company level came to the conference room to hold a summary meeting.

"In this battle, our army annihilated a total of 3 infantry targets of the Qing army, one battalion of cavalry and artillery, and one team of engineers and baggage soldiers. 3,767 enemy soldiers were killed and 357o were captured, of whom 456 were seriously wounded and more than 9oo were lightly wounded...... 18 Krupp 57-mm mountain guns, 574o Hanyang-made rifles, 235 pistols, and 42o shells were captured...... More than 30,000 silver dollars, 7oo taels of gold, and more than 20,000 kilograms of grain......"

"Our troops lost 13 killed, 7 seriously wounded, 36 lightly wounded...... The ammunition consumed is as follows......"

The chief of staff first announced the results and losses.

President Rossi continued, "...... In this anti-encirclement campaign, thanks to the efforts of our commanders and fighters, our army won an initial victory. But I would like to remind you that this victory is only a phased victory, and although the Hubei New Army was partially annihilated by our army, most of it is still in Wuchang. This time, our victory was mainly based on their contempt for the enemy and their ignorance of us. The next battle will not be so easy, and the Qing court still has 100,000 new troops in other provinces, if they come to the aid of Hubei, our pressure will increase greatly, so we must not be blindly optimistic!"

"The summing up of the battles of all units must be done well! Political workers must step up the work of converting prisoners into prisoners......

After Rossi finished speaking, the political commissar of the 3rd regiment asked: "Comrade President, this time among our prisoners, there are still people recruited by the Qing army, how do they deal with them?"

"They don't have to be detained, but they have to live in a centralized place and participate in labor. After the education was over, those who were willing to go would be sent home at the expense of the road, and those who did not want to leave could stay. ”

Another person asked: "What do they do with some of the New Army prisoners who claim to be revolutionary organizations such as the Confederacy, the Communist, and the Nichikokai......?"

"Like the other captives, we have no contact with these groups and cannot confirm their identities...... Rosie said lightly. Revolutionary parties such as the Tong Meng Association had also approached Kyodo Society before, but these people were closed, and Rosie ignored them at all. The Liberation Society was greeted in advance, and it didn't get involved in it at all.

"Comrade President, now we can liberate the city, right?" Yi Damao couldn't help but ask, he raised this issue in the last meeting, but was told that the time was not ripe.

"Well, now it's okay, let's start with Xingshan County next to the base, and then Zigui, after occupying Zigui, we will electrify the whole country......" Rosie nodded.
