Wang Conger met her husband two weeks before the launch of the general offensive in the Battle of Shengjing. In total, the young couple had not seen each other for almost half a year.
When the sun was about to go down, the 17th Regiment of the Northern Navy drove in on the post road leading to Dashiqiao. They set off from Jingyan Fort at noon. Wang Conger and several female soldiers stood on the ridge by the roadside, babbling.
Playing Allegro.
On the Liaohe Plain in August, you can see sorghum taller than a person's head everywhere. The green color is like an endless green gauze tent. The mature sorghum ears are like countless torches dotted on the gauze tent. Under the reflection of the sunset, the earth turns red.
The Northern Navy, wearing grass-green military uniforms, is like a wide river flowing in the green gauze tent.
The officers and soldiers were full of energy, marched neatly, were cleanly dressed, had bright firearms, and strong leggings. At first glance, everyone was dressed similarly, because everyone wore a helmet with weeds on their heads. It was difficult to distinguish their faces, but they could see clearly.
A careful person can tell at a glance who is a veteran and who is a recruit, and among these recruits there are many Qing soldiers who have been converted.
The clothes worn by the veterans of the Northern Navy are 70% to 80% new, and some are even brand new, while the clothes of the new recruits are older, and there are many patches on the clothes that have been washed and turned white. Those veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles think that every
Every battle is a grand ceremony, and they can't wait to show the country bumpkins under the Qing Dynasty how decent the Northern Navy is; while the new recruits of the Qing army a year ago regard fighting as a kind of hard work, wearing
So what's the point? Anyway, just walk around in the wind and rain, save the new clothes for when something happens.
From the demeanor, you can also tell who is the veteran and who is the new recruit. On one side of the post road are the advancing combat troops, and on the other side are the migrant workers pushing wheelbarrows or driving mule carts and carriages. The veterans talked and laughed along the way.
I exchanged a few words and joked with the former migrant workers, causing bursts of laughter from time to time in the migrant workers team. They looked as if they were going to the market, with a calm face. For those transformed recruits, participating in this battle
Just like children entering the examination room, each one has his or her own thoughts and is silent.
The eyes of Wang Conner and several female soldiers were like a gentle breeze, caressing this "running stream" of rolling waves, and the bamboo boards in their hands made a crisp sound.
Female soldier! Alive! And very beautiful!
Veterans have long been accustomed to this, but the new recruits are different, especially those former Qing soldiers who have been reformed. Although they have heard that there are female soldiers in the army during training, this is the first time on the battlefield.
See. At this moment, all they had in mind was one thought: How could a woman go to the battlefield?
Due to physiological differences, few women directly participated in combat in the cold weapon era. This kind of war world that emphasized personal bravery could not open the door to women. However, in the hot weapon era, it was different. Women did not need gender alienation, and they could not open the door to women.
It can play a prominent role in specific fields, and can pave the way for women to break out of traditional gender roles and gender shielding.
It took ten years for the time-travelers headed by Zhao Xin to finally let the women of Beihai Town not only walk out of their families and into factories, but also into the war. Although the tireless efforts of the time-travelers were credited to this, but the early
The women among the naturalized people of the island country also played a big role. After all, the peasant women of the island country do not have the tradition of staying at home, let alone having their feet bound. In addition, the women of all ethnic groups in the outer northeast are not as tough as the frontiers.
Minus, there is no saying that women cannot show their faces.
Until now, all of Zhao Xin's women, except A Miao, have their own jobs. Although Shen Xuan is regarded as the future queen, she still teaches in Beihai Town Primary School and serves as the honorary principal; Wang Zhenyi went to Beihai Town High School She studied in a polytechnic and worked part-time as a lecturer. One of her two teachers was Lagrange and the other was Laplace. Over the past few years, she had become very good at speaking French. In order to stay away from Shen Xuan, Tang Xiao went to Khabarovsk. I am the vice principal of the town's primary school.
As for Mrs. Elizabeth, she is not a fuel-efficient person... Well, let's forget about this. To put it bluntly, Zhao Xin has nothing to do with her.
"Soldiers, listen to me, let me talk about victory! Nine and a half years of fighting against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, thousands of their troops have been wiped out! At the beginning of the summer offensive, the first victory was Kaiyuan, and then Tieling and Jinzhou, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties The rule is about to end..."
Allegro lyrics are generally made up improvised. Just open your mouth and sing when you see what is happening. There is no requirement to rhyme. For example, Wang Conner saw a tall soldier over 1.8 meters tall carrying a machine gun. , carrying a heavy bag behind him, and walking very fast, he immediately sang: "Big man, with strong feet, walking fast, and winning the fight, I will definitely do it to capture Shu Liang alive, I will definitely do it!"
The big recruit's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he pretended not to hear. At this time, someone in the team called the big man's name and said, "Su Wan, the girl is singing about you, saying that you will definitely capture the court. Bah! It’s General Shengjing who captured the Manchus.”
Judging from the name, this big man Ganqing is a Hezhe! Because they have been engaged in fishing and hunting for many years and eat a lot of meat, the Hezhe people are taller than the Han people from Guannai. However, it is rare to be so tall.
The soldiers around him all burst out laughing when they heard this, and they spread the word from the head of the team to the back of the team. Su Wanxian didn't dare to raise his head, but his steps became more and more brisk.
One group of people flowed by, and another group of people flowed over. The clear-voiced Allegro singing of Wang Cong'er and others was like a bowl of ice-clear well water in the dog days of summer, refreshing people and relieving fatigue.
Xu Jian, commander of the third company of the third battalion, rode up from behind with the signal soldiers. From a distance, he saw Wang Conger standing on the ridge, wearing a slightly fat military uniform, with her hair tied up in a military cap and a tight belt. The light of the setting sun shone like rouge on her fair and pretty face. A gust of cool wind blew, the green gauze tent rustled, and the wind puffed up her military uniform, showing off the mountains and rivers.
He reined in the horse and looked at his wife. He was in a daze for a moment. He didn't expect to meet Wang Conner here, and he unconsciously thought of the day they got married... The cicada half contained flowers on his temples. Smiling, the eyebrows match each other, as one does when one is drunk.
Yes, Xu Jian is Xu Funan. After the Battle of Jilin, Zhao Xin felt that he was about to get married and it was not appropriate for the brothers to use the nicknames "Funan and Shounan" anymore, so he changed their names. The eldest son was named Xu Jian. The second child's name is Xu Yi. Being "named" by Zhao Xin makes many people extremely envious of the Xu brothers. However, those who know the inside story understand that because of their relationship with Shen Xuan, Zhao Xin and his wife have actually treated them as their own in recent years. Raise as a son.
The army had a mission. After the young couple met, Wang Conger took out the letter Shen Xuan asked her to send from her backpack, as well as a pair of thousand-layer soles that Wang Conner had sewn by herself. Xu Jian took the shoes and turned them over to look at them, and saw the stitching on the soles. She was in a state of confusion. This girl didn't like female celebrities very much, so her mother didn't criticize her very much.
Seeing the strange expression on her husband's face, Wang Conger bit her lower lip and said, "I spent two months making it. Don't say it doesn't look good."
How could Xu Jian dare to say no? He was busy praising and praising him.
Wang Conger suddenly said: "Hey, do you have any canned braised pork? The rations issued by our political work team are not as good as those of your combat troops, and they have been on a vegetarian diet for several days."
"have!"
After listening to his wife's words, Xu Jian asked the signal soldier to give all the canned meat in the sacks on horseback to the female soldiers present. Several female soldiers held a large bag of canned meat and swallowed their saliva, eager to open it immediately to satisfy their greed.
"There's canned salmon too, right?"
"Yeah! Give me two of the fish roe ones." Wang Conger smiled like a flower. She liked to eat this the most. She couldn't catch up with this year's salmon migration season. She even said a few words of emotion in the letter she sent to her mother a few days ago.
.
Although there are now more than ten pig farms in Beihai Town, nearly 50,000 fat pigs are produced every year, which is terrifying in this time and space; but compared to the million people under the rule, pork is still in short supply. Every year, Beihai Town
The time when soldiers and civilians have the most fat in their stomachs is during the autumn month when salmon migrate. They cook three meals a day with leftover fish roe and pickled fish. They even set up a large pot to stew it directly by the river and eat it on the run.
Go to the rhythm of vomiting.
Nowadays, soldiers of the Northern Navy have two major hobbies: watching theater and eating braised pork.
Needless to say, braised pork, let’s just talk about watching a show. Before every war, each regiment would put on a show for the soldiers, and the performances were all adapted by time-travelers, such as "The White-Haired Girl" and "Blood and Tears".
However, the relevant content was changed to show that the corrupt officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty colluded with the landlords to oppress the poor, so they were forced to become homeless and their families were destroyed. Finally, they were rescued by the Beihai Navy and lived a happy and beautiful life. In addition, there is also the Yangyang Opera "Brothers and Sisters"
"Open up wasteland".
The veterans have watched these plays many times, and the recruits have also watched them once or twice. Although the plots in them seem simple and would make people laugh at them in the modern era of another time and space, no matter how many times they watch it, no matter whether the recruits or veterans
, are as fresh as watching them for the first time. Often the actors on the stage sing the previous line, and the people below will immediately follow the next line. The actors occasionally show off, slightly changing the lines and actions, and the soldiers below will feel like someone is scratching them.
Their armpits were filled with excitement.
These two hobbies are often utilized by chief officers and instructors. When charging in combat, the company commander usually cheers up and shouts: "Charge! After the battle, go back and watch the show and eat braised pork!" The effect every time is great.
Yes, it has quite a comedic effect.
"I'm leaving. I'll find you after I capture Fengtian Mansion."
Before Wang Conner could react, Xu Jian and the signal corpsmen rode away. Wang Conner had no choice but to raise her right hand and wave it at her husband's back. At this time, the sleeve fell off, revealing a shining weapon on her white wrist.
silver bracelet.
This bracelet was left to their brothers by Xu Jian's mother before she died. It was a personal accessory when she married into the Xu family in Dongtai. After the Xu family was confiscated, all their belongings were confiscated by the government, and the family was escorted to the capital to await trial. In the end, only this bracelet was left.
The bracelet was hidden close to his body. No matter how hard he was on the way to exile, even when he was wailing for lack of food and clothing in Ninggu Pagoda, Xu Jian never thought of using the bracelet to exchange for some clothes or some sorghum. In the winter of that year, in
One late night when the cold wind was howling, Xu's mother, who was lying on the hay pile and dying, took out this bracelet from her arms and told her to keep it with her, as it would keep the two brothers safe and sound.
It was not until he got engaged to Wang Conner that Xu Jian took the bracelet as a betrothal gift and told her the story behind it. Since then, Wang Conner has been wearing it and planned to make it an heirloom of the Xu family.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August. As Xiongyue, Gaiping, Niuzhuang and other places were successively captured, the maritime forces of the North Navy entered Xihaikou south of Jinzhou after several days of rest and replenishment.
It took one day to capture the Tianqiao Factory. The Qing army's water camp and fort garrison stationed here suffered heavy losses. As soon as the landing troops landed, the survivors fled without a trace.
The next day, the 19th Regiment, which took a short rest, launched an attack on Tashan Fort, which lies between Jinzhou and Ningyuan Prefecture.
In the Ming Dynasty, Tashan was a strategic location in the Western Liaoning Corridor. One hundred and fifty years ago, it was a densely populated military town. After the Songjin War, a little-known tragic offensive and defensive battle took place.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty's defense system in Liaodong completely collapsed. Tashan Fort, which lay thirty miles north of Ningyuan Prefecture, was like a lonely boat in the ocean, caught in the fierce offensive of the Qing army. Tong Hanbang, the Ming army guard at Tashan Fort at the time, learned that Jinzhou
After surrendering, he expressed his indignation and determination to the soldiers and civilians of Qiqianta Mountain: "Our soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were severely short of food. It can be seen that the dynasty is dead. I will commit suicide first if I am not ashamed of my duty!"
However, his generous declaration brought tears to the whole city's soldiers and civilians. Why did the general leave us? We are willing to fight to the end with the general. Although we must die, we will never surrender!
So on the fifteenth day after Zu Dashou surrendered, the Tashan soldiers and civilians, who had run out of ammunition and food, pretended to surrender and deceived the Qing army into the city. Tong Hanbang then ordered people to close the city gate and led the remaining army in a desperate battle with the Qing army.
After igniting the explosives that had already been laid, the entire Tashan Fort was blown into ruins. Thousands of soldiers and civilians perished together with the Qing troops who entered the city.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Compared with the Ming army one hundred and fifty years ago, which preferred death over surrender, the Qing army today is far behind. At the end of the 18th century, Tashan was just a village with dozens of households.
This is a small village with an earthen fortress. The guard is only a level 5 defense, with less than 300 men under his command.
Under the guidance of drones, six mortars from the artillery company of the 19th Regiment of the North Navy targeted the place where the Qing troops gathered to blast. After only one round, a white flag was displayed on the earthen wall of Tashan Fort. That man
When the guard, with his head wrapped in bandages, saw the regiment's chief of staff, he knelt down and begged not to fire any more artillery. With just those few rounds, more than a hundred Qing troops were gone.
After taking Tashan, the southward escape route of the Qing army in Liaodong was firmly blocked. After that, except for two battalions of the Northern Navy soldiers on the southern line to defend Tashan, the rest of the troops quickly moved northward, regaining the Chumu Chong Fort along the way, and Daxing
Fort, Xingshan Fort, Jinchang Fort, and finally occupied Songshan Fort, eighteen miles south of Jin County, on August 25, and marched to the gate of Jin County the next day.
Facing the drones and cannons of the Northern Navy, the three thousand Qing troops in Jin County were only a little stronger than Tashan Fort. When the Yong'an Gate in the south and the Ningyuan Gate in the east were blown down, they knew they were outmatched.
The prefect of Jinzhou and the deputy governor of Jinzhou committed suicide one after another. The Manchus and the Northern Navy had been fighting for so many years, and they knew that the Northern Navy had no habit of killing prisoners, so the more than 400 Eight Banners Manchu soldiers who survived in the city, led by a co-leader, started to
The city surrendered.
At this point, the Qing troops outside the Pass had no way out, and Zhao Xin's "close the door and beat the dogs" plan entered the second stage.
The "Battle of Shengjing" planned by Zhao Xin and Deng Fei was divided into three stages. In the first stage, the Northern Navy unexpectedly crossed the wicker border and surrounded Shengjing; in the second stage, the maritime forces swept through the towns along the Liaodong Peninsula and captured the city.
Tashan and even Jinzhou prevented the Qing troops in Liaodong from escaping southward to Shanhaiguan; in the third stage, they occupied Fengtian Prefecture and Xingjing Prefecture and forced the Qing troops in Haicheng, Liaoyang, Xiuyanting, and Fenghuang City to surrender.
