Chapter 147 The Red Flag Turns Over 3

[147] The wind and red flag turned over the earth (3)

It was dark in the early morning in autumn. Yao Fan's whole army raised torches and wore steel helmets, winding west like a fire dragon in the field.

The 70-liter individual camouflage carried by the soldiers behind them is stuffed, and there are also a sleeping bag tied on it. Considering the continuous battle, each person's carrying equipment weighs 25 kg. In addition to sufficient bullets, *, there are also 15 catties of rice and two catties of salty sauce. Considering the weight of guns, helmets and waist ammunition, the individual soldier weighs nearly 40 kilograms.

When the troops set out from Jimo, the troops brought 30 carts and pulled them on horseback. Now 20 of them are now divided into four battalions and four companies to pull food back to Jimo, leaving only 10 carts, containing four mortars and shells of a series of guns, as well as a large amount of machine gun ammunition.

In the fog on the field, the torch gradually extinguished. At this time, the sky also emerged white, and the earth gradually revealed her outline.

The whole army kept moving along the rural road built by Huangni, and finally arrived at the ferry crossing of Yifengdian just after 11 noon.

Xie Jiaxiang, the sentry of the White Horse Club, and another man from the White Horse Club, led the horse and had been waiting outside the ferry for a long time.

"Chairman Yao, the water here is as deep as the waist, and the flow speed is not fast. The river is only 20 feet, but it can be directly transported by ferry."

Xie Jiaxiang now has five teams, plus 10 people, who are responsible for exploring the way for Yao Fan's troops and reporting the enemy situation. His eyes were deep and he looked a little tired. His companion named Lei Zi hasn't heard from him since he was captured by the Qing cavalry.

"How many ferries are there here?"

"In Chairman Yao's words, there are two ferries here, five fishing boats and four fishing boats, all of which are the industry of Changtai in the town."

Yao Fan simply ordered Li Hainiu beside him: "The whole army will enter the town, buy grain and meat to make rice immediately. At the same time, all ferry boats, fishing boats and fishing boats will be requisitioned. Give them as much money as the subsidy should be given. Don't be stingy."

"Yes!"

So Yao Fan's whole army rested in Yifengdian Town, lined up along the road, and did not commit any crime with Minqiu.

After a while, Li Hainiu led a thin old man in an ochre robe and said excitedly to Yao Fan, "Chairman, this is the shopkeeper of Changtaihang. He has something to say."

When the thin old man saw Yao Fan, the bandit leader, he hurriedly knelt down. After being helped by Yao Fan, he said, "The little old man is willing to help pay, but please let the whole town people go."

Yao Fan said awkwardly, "Our revolutionary army is not bandits. Why are you panicking? I don't want your salary. Hurry up and cook rice and stew for my whole army and kill a few pigs in your town. We'll give you how much it should be.

Yao Fan didn't bother to talk nonsense and waved his hand to Li Hainiu, signaling him to solve the rest of the problems.

Although the road is not far away, Yao Fan does not plan to eat the food he brought. The rations brought in each soldier's backpack are for picnics, and it is best to feed the enemy.

Yifengdian Town, with only more than 300 households, began to be busy, killing pigs, cooking, and looking very lively.

Yao Fan also ordered Xie Jiaxiang to cross the river to scout first. Xie Jiaxiang was a little disappointed to see that Yao Fan did not leave him for lunch. He could only pinch the dry food in his bag and take his companions across the river.

It was past 2 p.m. after dinner. Yao Fan directly ordered the whole army to wade across the river, and horses and carts crossed the river.

At dusk, Yao Fan's army arrived at Renzhao Town, which is only 50 miles away from Pingdu Prefecture.

And the Qing army in Pingdu Prefecture was extremely nervous at this time, as if it were a button that was about to fall from the vest.

The day before yesterday, the Eight Banner Cavalry, who collapsed and fled by the revolutionary army, has notified the general of the brave battalion in Pingdu, who is also the general of the thief this time.

"Green hair rubber thief * fierce, 300 steps away, the middleman will die!" The Mongolian yellow flag and the cavalry inlaid yellow flag who fled back to Pingdu said so.

But the Mongolian man's self-esteem made them unable to say, "Even if the unparalleled Mongolian warriors shoot thousands of iron horses, none of them can rush into the rubber thieves!" In this case.

Wang Zhengqi is very helpless. If these cavalry are his subordinates or other brave soldiers in Shandong, Wang Zhengqi must charge them with shaking their hearts, but these guys are all garrisoned in the Eight Banners of Qingzhou. These guys only listen to the orders of the emperor and the emperor's spokesperson Ding Baozhen in Shandong, and even Ding Baozhen. If you are present in person, you can't punish these theoretical emperor's troops without authorization.

"After those rubber thieves win, can they continue to attack Jiaoxi County?"

"No, after the glue thief won, he returned to Jimo."

Wang Zhengqi then asked for a long time. The Mongolian's answer was always simple to die. He said two clues horizontally and vertically, "One is that he did not win, and the other is that the casualties were heavy, and almost the whole army was destroyed."

"Go down." Wang Zhengqi was angry for a long time, and in the end, he had no choice but to do so.

When the Mongolian cavalry who reported the news left, Wang Zhengqi violently shot the case and scolded in the hall: "What * fierce! Obviously, these Mongolian flag soldiers were killed by a large ambush by rubber thieves when they plundered the countryside! I don't know the abacus in their stomachs yet? Everyone expects to make a fortune by suppressing rebellion! Where will you take the initiative to meet the enemy!"

Wang Zhengqi's general advised: "The general calmed his anger, and it is also expected that the proud soldiers of the Eight Banners will enter lightly, but this is also good. It is precisely the victory of the rubber thief in this battle that can show the credit of our army's defeating the group of rubber thieves in Japan."

Wang Zheng's face softened a little: "I shouldn't say anything, but since they are playing for the royal family, how can they underestimate the enemy so much? It's really a loss for the emperor's kindness. Besides, if that group of rubber thieves are really strong, they are bound to take advantage of the victory to chase and attack Jiaoxi, but since they have retreated, it means that they are strong outside, there is a shortage of guns, and there are not many people.

"General is wise." The general praised.

"In this battle, the Huangqi of Mongolia captured a rubber thief to explore the horse, named Zhang Tianlei. After sending it back to Jiaoxi for interrogation, he confessed that they were the horse bandits of the White Horse Club. The White Horse Association had always plundered business trips in Wei County, but now somehow, he actually hooked up with the group of rubber thieves. According to the horse, Yao Fan, the leader of the bandit, had only five The soldiers and horses of the battalion are all Western rifles.

Wang Zhengqi said, "These anti-thieves have always vented their breath in a nostrils, and it is normal to hook up. Have you asked where the nest of the White Horse Club is?

"This thunder said that the place is called a stone village, which is extremely remote in the depths of the mountains."

Wang Zhengqi snorted coldly: "Hmm, wait to eliminate the rubber thieves and deal with them sooner or later!"

But this morning, the fast horse of Laixi's military post came the news that Jiangshan County was broken, the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou were unknown, and the four green battalions were completely destroyed. Only one of the soldiers who escaped from the city rushed back to Laixi to report the letter. Laixi sent a post horse overnight to report to Pingdu.

Wang Zhengqi was shocked when he heard the news. He was used to fighting. He knew how strong the county guarded by 2,000 soldiers was. No matter how strong the Green Camp was, after 2,000 people stood on the head of the city, the city would take at least 50,000 to 60 million peasants to gnaw for ten days and a half a month. What's more, there are also soldiers in Dengzhou!

But Yao Fan actually took down the city with five battalions. According to the letter, Yao Fan attacked the city before dawn in the morning and took the whole city before noon. What's strange thing?

Wang Zhengqi has never seen an explosive bag, and there is no explosive bag in the world these days. * It is impossible to burn quickly before it is granulated. After a * powder package is ignited, it is not so much like an explosion as it is like a fireworks. It may be better unless you insert a * detonation in him. However, these days' * is too ** and too easy to explode, which is 10,000 times more dangerous than the safety* of future generations. It is only used for blasting in large mines in Europe, and the army of any country dares not carry this kind of thing that can be blown up with them.

Wang Zhengqi has never seen the explosive bag, let alone the escaped soldier.

Wang Zhengqi took the letter and thought about it for a long time, looking for clues from almost half of the letters describing Yao Fan's appearance. However, the main length of the letter is about a tower-like strong man who is nine feet and nine inches tall. He has a head as big as a drum, a thick waist, his arms are longer than knees, and his waist circumference is eight feet. He is a murderer and a demon.

Wang Zheng looked at it three times to make sure that he didn't miss a word, but he still couldn't see Yao Fan's way to break the city. But he knows very well that Yao Fan is by no means the kind of breed that looks like wild boars, yaks, apes and demons. Joke! If Yao Fan grows up like that, how can he cheat the whole Jinan government? What a shrewd person Ding Junmen is, and he also has his way...

After independent thinking, Wang Zhengqi was very sure that Yao Fan must have sent the inner response to sneak into the city first, seized the gate of Jiangshan County at night, and then put it into the main rebel force at dawn.

But Wang Zhengqi still didn't figured out how Yao Fan could ambush outside Jiaoxi County the day before yesterday, defeating more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry with excellent riding and shooting, and was able to flow to Jiangshan County to quickly capture the city yesterday. This kind of continuous combat is really beyond the imagination of a feudal army general. It's very simple. Wang Zhengqi can't do it himself.

"Doesn't he want to rest at all? Or has he pulled up a lot of rebels in a short period of time?

Wang Zheng had a headache until near dusk in the afternoon that he finally stopped having a headache.

The scouts scattered in the towns around Pingdu came to report that a group of rebels in green and blue, dressed like rumored rubber thieves, had arrived in the northwest of Renzhao Town.

Wang Zhengqi's head exploded directly!

The speed of the soldiers is right, but in the final analysis, it is still a group of Qiu Ba. Is there a Qiu Ba running so fast in the sky? The words of escape are different, but after fighting all the way, Yao Fan's anti-thief's grass and gray hills are beaten by iron!!??

Wang Zhengqi doesn't believe it!

"Explore again!" Wang Zheng raised his weight and patted the table.
