Chapter 152 Wind and Red Flag Turns Over 8
[152] The wind and the red flag turn over the earth (8)
The noon sun was a little dazzling. Yao Fan looked at the Pingdu Tower 500 meters away with his forehead. He didn't even bother to use a telescope.
"Guiba, have you seen the damn gate building and the arrow towers on both sides? The enemy will kill our brothers with bullets and bows and arrows inside and knock them off with high explosive *.
"Chairman, they can't live!" Gui Ba chewed the rice grass that could no longer be chewed in late autumn.
Now Guiba's cannon is very familiar with the shelling in a series of direct-sighted state. After a test shot into the city, it was slightly corrected. The second shot hit the front inclined roof of the gate building, and the whole roof immediately exploded, and the fiercely burning aluminum heating agent splashed the fire all over the whole roof, surrounded the city. The Qing army on the wall shouted to put out the fire.
With further efforts, the city gate building suffered three high explosions*. In the flames, the bombed gate building could no longer withstand the chemical flame that was enough to burn steel. Suddenly, it collapsed to one side and raised a dust and a blazing fire. The recruited householders and citizens rushed to put out the fire with knives and guns in the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing the tower collapse, the soldiers laughed and shouted excitedly, whistled, and cheered with rifles. Everyone was eager to try and wanted to start attacking the gate immediately to carry out explosion.
When the tower was shot, Wang Zhengqi happened to be not inside. After avoiding the disaster, he stood on the wall and saw clearly with a monocular in his hand. He found that there seemed to be only four small cannons in the position of the rubber thief in the distance.
"Yes, there are only four." He confirmed it.
"That cannon is so short that there is no firelight in every shot, which is so powerful??!! Three blows down the city tower, which is surprisingly accurate!" Wang Zhengqi was surprised.
In surprise and anger, he gritted his teeth and did not hesitate: "Come on! Kill the black dog and put the dog's blood outside the wall to prevent the cannon!"
Wang Zhengqi, who was rushed to the hospital, still believes that the power of the cannon comes from some kind of demon method, otherwise it will not be scientific. Last night, he carefully studied Yao Fan's name and felt that the pronunciation of the word "yao fa" was similar, and he felt that it was full of mystery.
"The Mongolian cavalry said he was a demon, and I think it's reliable!" Wang Zhengqi has now reached an agreement with the cavalry who reported the defeat in Mongolia.
After the war, Wang Zheng fled all the way. Wang Zheng started to run back to Pingdu and immediately inspect the soldiers and horses. He found that the eight cavalry battalions of the army did not lose much, only more than 200 people, but the strength of one cavalry battalion was relatively miserable, while the four infantry battalions were relatively miserable. There were only more than 1,300 soldiers who escaped back one after another, and more than 600 people were missing, temporarily arrested. The number of auxiliary soldiers of Zhuangding was even worse. Only more than 400 people fled back, and the others were separated without a trace. They didn't know where these idiots had gone. Fortunately, the auxiliary soldiers can quickly fill up by catching Ding. In contrast, Wang Zhengqi only cares about his soldiers and lost foreign guns.
Yao Fansheng was afraid that the cavalry in the city would rush out. While reminding the four battalions to use machine guns to block the gate with crossfire, he ordered Gui Ba to continue shelling the Qing army on the city wall. Therefore, the arrow towers on both sides of the head of the city were also shot one after another and exploded and caught fire. The Qing army on the head of the city shouted in panic, and Yao Fan's troops burst into cheers again.
Before the war, Li Hainiu and other battalion commanders had arranged their own blasting groups, firepower groups, assault groups, reserve teams, especially the frontal Li Hainiu's first battalion, which had entered the attack position, only waiting for Yao Fan's order.
Yao Fan and others were anxious and no longer waited for the other three battalions to take their positions. They ordered Li Hainiu to say, "You guys fight first and then!" The greater the pressure we put on the Qing army here, the less the resistance to attack the other three battalions.
"Yes!"
Wang Zhengqi squatted at the head of the city with his armor and watched Yao Fan's movements in the south from the mouth of the wall. Seeing that Yao Fan divided his troops to besiege the city several times, he also hesitated whether he should send cavalry to attack at this time. However, thinking that Xu Zihe and Wang Zhengtai, who were responsible for the enveloping of the left and right wings after yesterday's battle, came back and complained one after another, saying that the rubber thieves could not approach at all, and as the chief officers, they also almost lost their lives. So Wang Zhengqi finally decided to let the cavalry ambush in the city today.
"When the rubber thief couldn't attack for a long time and there was a shortage of guns to withdraw, I rushed out with cavalry and killed him!" Wang Zhengqi is very satisfied with the tactics he planned.
In the final analysis, Wang Zhengqi still did not believe that less than 1,000 rubber thieves could break through the Pingdu City he defended. After all, defending the city was much more convenient than attacking the city. Without ten times the number of troops to surround it, Wang Zhengqi did not believe that Yao Fan could get the strong city garrisoned by his army.
Yao Fan ordered: "The gun company will continue to attack the Qing army on the front wall, especially near the city gate. Don't give them a chance to shoot arrows at the blasting group.
The gun repeatedly calmly replaced with steel ball killing bombs under direct sighting conditions and began to bombard the Qing army with dense defense on the wall.
Wang Zhengqi gave orders in the city while mobilizing rifle sentries to prepare to attack Yao Fan's three or five-person sparsely approaching scattered soldiers, while listening to the enemy report from the other three gates. Suddenly! A shell unexpectedly fell from above and was blowing up in front of Wang Zhengqi.
Hu Yuanda, a general who stood not far from the head of the city to supervise the battle and organized soldiers to fight the fire, witnessed the disappearance of Wang Zhengqi at the moment of the explosion. After the war, he described: "The smoke passed, and a big pit appeared on the city wall trail. The center was black and empty, and the brick piles by the wall collapsed by five steps. Ten steps away are full of black and bright red flesh and blood, fifteen steps away are full of broken arms and charred corpses. Twenty steps away, there are soldiers lying on the ground full of blood, rolling on the ground crazily, crying unbearable.
Hu Yuanda stood foolishly in the corner of the wall more than 50 meters away for a moment, and suddenly! He turned his head! He ran down the city and shouted frenzyly, "The general is dead!" General Wang was killed by a glue thief!"
The surviving Qing army at the head of the city saw this flesh-and-blood hell and saw Hu Yuanda fleeing. Where could he stand? For a time, he poured down from the head of the city along the ramp and walkway like opening a sluice and pouring water into the city.
Yao Fan saw the Qing army standing at the head of the south city suddenly disappeared in the telescope and said to Li Hainiu, "Hurry up and tell Hu Guangting to be careful. I don't know what the Qing army is doing?"
Li Hainiu also put down his telescope and frowned, "Maybe to squat down to avoid bullets, ready to stand up and shoot together when our army approaches."
"It makes sense!" Yao Fan praised.
Hu Guangting was used to blasting. When the gate exploded, he stood at the foot of the wall by the door and skillfully blew the iron whistle to command the whole company to launch an assault.
But before the leading troops of the assault group ran up, Hu Guangting heard the sound of horses' hoofs from the city gate!
"It's broken! Qing cavalry!" Hu Guangting knew the interests of the cavalry. He quickly pulled the rope buckle from his waist, pulled out a * and pulled it, and threw it into the gate hole.
Comrades! Take * out!" Hu Guangting shouted at the soldiers of the blasting group around him.
It was a cavalry sentry of the Qing army that rushed to the gate. As soon as 25 war horses rushed close to the smashed half-foot thick solid wood inlaid iron gate, they saw another explosion in the gate. The first two horses were immediately frightened and suddenly shook their heads and threw the cavalry out.
Hu Guangting saw the probe after the explosion, picked up another * and jumped to the door, accurately threw it into the chaotic horse team not far from the city gate, and then immediately hid back to the door.
The explosion sounded again, with the sadness of the horses and the screams of the Qing army.
Looking at it, Hu Guangting did not stop doing anything and threw two * into the clearing field. After the explosion, there was no Qing army that dared to appear.
"The machine gun group is in front! Pay attention to the formation in the back!" Hu Guangting began to launch an assault on the city with the teaching company. This time, he was more cautious and afraid that he would be rushed too fast and be rushed into the road by the Qing cavalry from the alley of the city, causing casualties under the sudden attack.
According to the deployment, Hu Guangting rushed into the gate and immediately divided his troops to the city wall, set up condescending machine guns, implemented fire control in the city, and provided fire support to the scattered soldiers in groups of three.
Yao Fan kept getting reports in the walker. Under the rapid encirclement of each battalion, four gates were blown up one after another, and Wang Zhengqi's Zhenzi 12th battalion was all blocked in the city.
"Resolutely kill the stubborn enemy! Completely destroy their fighting spirit! Receive prisoners under the premise of ensuring your own safety!" Yao Fan ordered.
After taking down the four doors, he was relieved.
Yao Fan smiled faintly and said, "As long as you put the machine gun on the wall, you can control the whole city, and the next step is to clean up."
The Qing army did not have the determination and fortifications to defend the city, whether it was the street fortress, the fire point of the underground passage, the roof or the guerrilla house connected by the courtyard. This made Yao Fan's infantry company tactics useless, and the ways of fighting by each unit were simple and outrageous. The Qing army often ran out of the crowded alley and surrendered in a panic as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire. As soon as they heard that they wanted to throw * blow them up, they came out of the courtyard obediently and begged for mercy. The infantry and cavalry, with no spirit under the fierce fire of the revolutionary army, offered their weapons and horses.
When Yao Fan entered the city, thousands of Qing prisoners had gathered in the square in front of the government, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, probably because they were afraid of Yao Fan's slaughter of the city, and their faces were full of panic.
Yao Fan walked to the county government with a portable stereo and began to make an occupation speech: "Don't be afraid, we are the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army and a revolutionary army.
You may ask, what is revolution? What is liberation? Then I'll explain it to you now...
...Now you understand that the revolution is to overthrow the rule of the Qing emperor and liberate the working masses all over the world...
... You may not believe it at present, and it doesn't matter. Then you can slowly understand it when you go to the prisoner-of-war camp in the future to see if our revolutionary army are all working people, and whether the officers are all working masses..."
After completing a ten-minute brief speech, Yao Fan ordered the identification of the prisoners of war.
Zhou Shi, who was responsible for watching the prisoners, reported: "Chairman, a total of 2,70 people in Qing military uniforms were captured, and more than 300 people were killed in the city. I guess some Qing soldiers took off their clothes and hid in residential houses, and are now preparing to search door-to-door.
"The search work and the collection of mules and carts will be carried out at the same time to gather all the mules, horses and carts in the city. We need to quickly empty the grain and silver salaries in Pingdu City!" Yao Fandao.
"Yes."
"Separate soldiers and officers after completing the identification! Immediately kill all the abnormal elements! The whisperers are also shot to death!"
"Yes."
