Chapter 145 The Red Flag Turns Over 1

[145] The red flag turned over (I)

Due to Chen Huilong's paralysis and defenseless attack against Yao Fan, Jiangshan County was broken in one fell swoop, and gunfire could be heard everywhere in Jiangshan County in the morning.

Wen Deng's garrison camp garrison Yuan Hongbin was stationed in the east of the city. Hearing his men report that the Nancheng Gate had been lost, the rubber thief had rushed into the city and surrounded the county government office and the building. Yuan Hongbin was not a brave man. The sound of gunfire all over the city had made him lose the courage to fight. In a panic, he decided to escape immediately.

As a general, he is very clear about the end of the Qing army caught by the rebels. Generally speaking, in the face of the peasant uprising, as long as the officers and soldiers stick to the city, the peasant army that lacks siege equipment has nowhere to bite the turtle. They can only look at the high wall and the defenders and sigh, cross the big city and do not enter, and instead to plunder the vicinity. Villages and large households. But once the city is broken... Yuan Hongbin has never seen the means of the Taiping Army and the Nian Army before, then it must be a large-scale burning, killing and looting, and the soldiers will be overwashed!

Yuan Hongbin did not hesitate to take all the sergeants he could summon, fled to the East Gate, opened the door and left, regardless of the life and death of Chen Huilong, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou.

But he just left the East Gate and encountered the ambush of the third battalion. Liu Jinbao's third battalions, the first and second companies had been waiting here for a long time.

"It's a wait! Aim for me!" Deng Yuanling, the commander of the first company of the third battalion, gave the order excitedly.

A series of gunshots suddenly crackled, and the Qing army, who had just left the gate 100 meters away, immediately lay down. The rest of them panicked and fled along the city wall. If it's better for them to lie down and hide and run along the wall, it will be like an active target and be killed immediately.

Seeing that the Qing army in front of him exploded, Wang Guangxing, the commander of the Third Battalion and the Second Company, shouted, "Comrades! Kill it!! Kill it!!!" On the one hand, he took the soldiers of his three platoons and rushed to the enemy to chase and intercept them, running and shooting for fear of letting the other party go.

Deng Yuanling saw this posture and was willing to suffer losses. He quickly asked a company to stop shooting in place and chased him to envelop the encirclement.

When Yuan Hongbin heard the explosion of fried beans on all sides, he knew that he had been ambushed and decided to escape from here.

But before he led his army to fight, because the target on the horse was too big, a sinful bullet flew to hit his body, lifted him off the horse, and fell to the ground heavily and could not move.

The soldiers of the Qing army soon found that even the sword and shield soldiers with rattan cards could not resist the sharp bullets of this group of rubber thieves. The bullet seemed to hit the rattan cards without any obstruction. After smashing a piece of wood chips, they did not stop drilling into the human body and knocked down the people behind the rattan cards to the ground.

The Qing army defending in place was all stunned. The formation gathered together like a hedgehog. When they saw that Yuan Hongbin, who was riding on the horse, was killed, they simply knelt on the ground and raised their knives and guns to shout that they would surrender.

The ambush battle soon ended, and the third battalion and the second company of the third battalion and the second company killed and injured the Wendeng garrison camp that escaped from the east gate without damaging one soldier, and all the rest were captured.

Wang Guangxing, who cleaned the battlefield, came forward and kicked Yuan Hongbin's head. Seeing that there was no response, he stabbed it again with a bayonet. The body remained motionless and was obviously dead.

"I can't help but fight." Wang Guangxing put down a few words and bent down to pick up the booty on the body.

"Comrades, remember! All seizures should be returned to the public!" Wang Guangxing shouted while taking out the silver ticket in Yuan Hongbin's arms.

Almost at the same time, the Yantai garrison camp stationed in the west of the city guarded Lai Jinshi. He seemed to be carved out of the same model as Yuan Hongbin, and wisely chose to abandon the city and flee, but he chose to be close to the west gate where he was stationed.

The fourth battalion ambushed at the west gate of Jiangshan County. After seeing Lai Jinshi come out, he naturally did not be polite to him. He surrounded him with a burst of random guns, killing and injuring the deserters of the Yantai garrison battalion, capturing most of them and capturing Lai Jinshi alive.

The two battalions stationed in the north of the city were Chen Huilong, and they fled without opening the north gate.

Probably because Chen Huilong was killed, the feudal army immediately fell into a dull chaos after losing its command. After blindly hitting the street several times, it had left dead bodies all over the ground. Many injured Qing soldiers covered their wounds and rolled in pain, crawled on the street, and dragged out a bloody road from under their bodies. .

After discovering that there was no hope of resistance, he heard the rubber thieves shouting to hand over the gun and not kill them, so the Qing soldiers came out one after another and surrendered to the battalion of Li Hainiu who rushed into the city one after another.

Before nine o'clock, Qiuyang had dispersed the morning fog on the earth without a trace. Yao Fan entered the city with Li Jun's reserve team and Gui Ba's cannons.

"Chairman, I'm afraid we can capture more than 1,000 Qing troops! What can so many people do? Li Hainiu was a little hesitant.

According to the prisoner policy, a company was sent to escort them back to Jimo. Like the previous Qing cavalry prisoners, they carried out a two-month ideological education and labor reform, so that they could complete the construction of the road from Qingdao to Jimo as soon as possible. After the expiration of the month, respect their personal wishes and let them go if they are willing to.

Li Hainiu said, "I understand."

After agreeing, Li Hainiu whispered again, "Chairman, now that Dengzhou's troops have been swept away by us, why don't we take the opportunity to take down the whole Dengzhou?"

Yao Fan said, "It's not good to take it down. It's better not to take it. At present, our primary goal is to destroy the enemy's living power. Only by defeating the Qing army can we seize the prefecture and county with peace of mind. Before that, we will never waste our troops stationing in the city."

Li Hainiu nodded repeatedly: "Chairman is wise."

Then he whispered, "Chairman, since we don't plan to occupy Jiangshan County, it's better to sweep here. I think the houses here are quite good. They are rich and have many women. It's better to let the soldiers open up and kill happily, bring all those women back to Jimo with Jia morale and give them to the unwed soldiers as wives.

Yao Fan saw that he was unbearable and quickly stopped: "Stop! Stop it! Manniu, I have to remind you again that our revolutionary army is not bandits. The set you have seen in the Nian Army before will not work in the revolutionary army.

After being criticized by Yao Fan, Li Hainiu said, "Chairman, I also said this because I saw that the soldiers trained too hard. Now the soldiers who have not been married see the comrades' families who have been married, their eyes will shine one by one by one. I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later if it goes on like this. Since we started, there has been no one in the countryside. They dare to give the girl to the people of Yaojiazhuang.

Yao Fan is also very embarrassed. He is not a plant, and who can be ruthless. The soldiers under him are all men of their age. Maybe they will die on the battlefield one day. They have never tasted the taste of women until they die, which may become the biggest regret in their lives.

"Wait a minute! When this battle is over! I will definitely let the soldiers marry their wives!" Yao Fan gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Li Hainiu listened to Yao Fan's promise and looked at him with some surprise. He couldn't figure out how Yao Fan would find a wife for all the soldiers after the war.
