The fighting in Lijiabao was fierce. Every time the Qing army took a step forward, they had to make arduous efforts. The streets and in front of the stone houses turned into battlefields.
At a street corner, the five outposts and four corps of returning troops who stood at the forefront, under the leadership of the corps commander Yin Fengguang, launched a fierce battle with the Qing army! More than a hundred people, regardless of gender, old or young, stood firm to form a stone barrier.
simple fortifications.
The densely packed Qing troops rushed toward the position. When the enemy was only 35 meters away from the front of the position, Corps Commander Wen Chengrong threw a grenade, and the first few returning troops were immediately killed.
The veteran soldier Liu Xinyun also jumped into the trench and swept away the enemy with a machete, cutting the returning troops into pieces and falling down. These muscular men did not hesitate to give in. They started brutal hand-to-hand combat with the returning troops, leaving each other alone.
Corpses or wounded, their scalding blood steamed in the cold wind. After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the corpses of the returning troops were strewn across the fields. The first wave of returning troops were massacred and wounded, losing their combat effectiveness.
But then the returning troops pushed out a French cannon from the house, and fierce artillery fire poured on the position. More returning troops rushed towards the position. In the almost crazy counterattack, the Qing army's bullets and grenades were all used up.
With no ammunition left, no food left, and no way out, the Qing army faced the return army that was several times their size with a death wish. All of their guns mounted bayonets and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the returning army who had attacked the position.
The two sides immediately struggled with each other. With no way to retreat, the Qing army also went crazy and stabbed a returning soldier to death with a bayonet, and was immediately stabbed to death by more returning soldiers who came forward. Soldiers from both sides fought with flesh and blood in this small area.
They fought like wild beasts in a small place! They fought bloody battles for more than an hour, killing more than 100 returning troops, until they all died heroically in the end. They used their blood and lives to realize their determination to survive and die with the position!
The gunpowder smoke blew away, and the bodies of the dead soldiers from both sides were spread across the battlefield, majestic!
At another street entrance, the third corps faced the same situation as the fourth corps: densely packed returning troops rushing toward the position. The corps commander, Duan Yusheng, was seriously injured but still endured severe pain and stubbornly persisted in fighting until he was dying. The offensive
Returning to the army, they found the third corps commander who was dying, and immediately moved in multiple directions at the same time.
To outflank him, the Third Corps Commander Duan Yusheng waited for the Hui Army to approach him, resolutely fired the grenade and died with the Hui Army. Next to his broken body lay seven corpses of the Hui Army. After more than an hour,
After a fierce battle, only the veteran soldier Yuan Huangao was left, and the others were all killed.
Yuan Huangao also took the risk and threw grenades one after another at the enemy group. Immediately more than a dozen returning troops fell at the front of the position, and were immediately injured by the firepower of the returning troops. Finally, when all the bullets and grenades were used up, he used
Shitou fought with the returning troops and fought against the enemy alone until he was captured by the backup troops with howitzers.
Everything in the stone house was blown up, and no one knew how many Hui soldiers were buried in the ruins. Blood fell like rain and mist, and the blood of Qing soldiers was left on every street. Because the streets were flat, the Qing soldiers rushed in
There were many soldiers, but they were not as sensitive to artillery as the Han soldiers, and they did not organize a good combat formation.
Suddenly, they saw the Hui army launching two black French cannons from both sides of the street, and the distance between the two sides was only dozens of steps. Almost all the artillery shells penetrated the crowd of Qing army soldiers from the front and back, and many shells hit the rear.
On the low wall, large amounts of smoke and dust were stirred up.
Chieftain Mo Baoguo arrived too late, and more than 30 martyrs fell dead on the street. When Li Ziying Bart arrived dragging a howitzer, he saw that the martyrs were still shooting at the returning troops, and he couldn't help but curse: "
Donkey Qiuzi, how many times have I told you, organize your formation, don’t put up your three-talented formation, you are eating shit.”
Mo Baoguo was ashamed and annoyed, and yelled with all his strength: "Shit Beetle, I've just arrived, and the beetles are too excited."
The two exchanged insults, and soon each fire point was destroyed by the howitzer. Battelle lectured: "Donkey ball, you must learn how to cooperate with infantry and artillery. Individual combat is outdated. The enemy has a gun in his hand. There is no need to compete."
Good work."
Seeing that the artillery observer only used a few words, the gunner wiped out the returning troops around the Franchise and avenged the soldiers. Mo Baoguo finally learned his lesson this time, nodded and bowed and said: "Battle has you, I know
No matter what changes are made in the future, two howitzers will be installed."
Battle curled his lips and said: "You are so rich, don't forget to practice firing cannons, so you don't need any decorations."
Mo Baoguo's hoarse throat made a strange voice: "I know, why are you so long-winded?"
Although the soldiers were the private property of Chieftain Mo Baoguo, it was extremely sad to have more than thirty soldiers reimbursed all at once. Learning to fight on the battlefield requires blood. In some places, soldiers who returned to the army were inserted.
The flying eagle flag and the snow-capped lion flags are placed in some places, crisscrossing each other, indicating that this place
The war was a criss-crossed battle. The Qing army insisted on the strategy of advancing layer by layer, not advancing rashly, not greedy for credit, and took away the returning army's positions piece by piece. The battle flags moved forward, which shows that the Qing army occupied more and more territory.
.The Huijun can only make a final struggle, death is imminent, and the surviving Huijun fight for honor.
With the sound of artillery and the sound of gunfire as dense as exploding beans, the Qing army rushed forward in a battle formation, firing volleys of guns to clear the way, and the death-like howitzers continued to bombard. The Qing army maintained its formation and moved forward. Many returning troops had endured
They kept howling and ran away, but at this moment the passionate war drums sounded, and a large number of ferocious Sichuan soldiers rushed out from the entrances of various passages with shining bayonets. These Sichuan rats, who were five years old and six inches thin, were taller than Shandong men.
Without giving in, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the returning troops, leaving corpses or wounded behind for each other. Their hot blood was steaming in the cold wind. There might be some returning troops who could fight with bayonets, but the returning troops were too old and weak to face the enemy.
Facing these spearmen and soldiers, they ran away in fear, and then the returning army was completely defeated. The Sichuan army's spearmen and soldiers screamed and drew their bayonets, killing the fleeing returning troops, regardless of men, women, old or young.
In panic, Tao Maolin, the second leader of the Huijun army, fell to the ground and was caught up. He was stabbed with knives and spears. Many other senior men crowded in, armed with sticks and rocks, and beat him on the head with all their strength.
Beat him until he becomes a pile of rotten flesh.
Mu San cruelly cut off the head of his former brother Tao Maolin and laughed wildly. With this head, he could legitimately become a battalion officer. When Li Guolou rushed to the front line, he was catching up with a large number of Qing troops besieging a fortress.
The fortress was made of stones, and the howitzers had too little power to destroy the fortifications blocking the Qing soldiers.
At this time, the bravery of Huang Ding's Sichuan Army was seen. The soldiers holding explosive bags in their hands were crawling forward, covered by hundreds of gun fires behind them. One Sichuan Army soldier stopped moving, and another soldier rushed up again carrying explosive bags.
There was a team of death squads, and six soldiers were dead on the ground. They still did not rush up the slope. The team leader Liu Sheng's eyes were red, and he carried the explosive pack and went up.
The Sichuan rats were nimble and could run quickly. Liu Sheng finally threw the explosive bag into the Huijun's fortress, and immediately fled with a leap, lying on the ground motionless.
There was a loud bang, a cloud of smoke filled the sky over the fortress, and a strong fortress was destroyed.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Yang Dawazi personally held a national flag and rushed up the high slope. Blood oozed from his shoulders. He was injured but did not step out of the line of fire. He was reborn from the blood and became a phoenix.
After being baptized by artillery fire, he and the surviving bandits became heroes through the bloody battle in Lijiapu. The Qing government praised Da Wazi's deeds in newspapers and declarations, portraying him as a model of a prodigal son turning back.
.
People can change, bandits and hooligans can become the founding emperor of the country! After that, Yang Dawazi controlled the troops and actually changed the bandit habits accumulated over the years. His evil deeds were not related to him, and he became the supervising standard battalion under Gao Liansheng.
War is full of strange things, and you can't tell who is right or wrong. Those who seize opportunities are heroes, and those who stick to the end will be at a disadvantage. Surrenders like Yang Dawazi are everywhere in the Qing Dynasty. Most of them died well, and some were still sitting in the Qing Dynasty.
Reach a high position and become the commander-in-chief of the military.
Dong Fuxiang, a surrendered general from the Hui people, and Yang Dawazi, a traitor from the Qing army, became two living signs of the Qing Dynasty's "benevolence, justice and generosity", inducing more returning troops to submit to the Qing Dynasty. As the war progressed, the effect became more and more obvious.
In front of the dilapidated fortress, Li Guolou met with the members of the suicide squad who threw explosives. The super hero Liu Sheng turned out to be such a short and inconspicuous person, and he could not be judged by his appearance.
"Well, well done, great. You have a great future, work hard." Li Guolou shook hands with the death squad members one by one and praised them mercilessly.
Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao was clearly outside Lijiabao, but in order to avoid certain taboos, none of the commanders entered the fort. Only one of the senior officials, Li Guolou, entered the fort. Li Guolou accidentally became the highest-ranking member of the Qing army.
The commander. So when he met with the meritorious officials, it was natural for him to praise these Qing warriors who carried the explosives. But he encountered a huge problem. He had no official title to reward these heroes.
Anyway, he was rich, so the death squads were all given 20 taels of silver regardless of whether they were alive or dead. The death squad of thirty people cost Li Guolou 600 taels of silver. After seeing the novel, Li Guolou ran away in fear, and it was not his.
The army wastes money unnecessarily, and no one will remember his good deeds.
After that, Li Guolou no longer looked at heroes. Heroes who were brave and fearless on the battlefield were still small people in real life. They couldn't speak, had no culture, were just old haters, and had no future in training. They were still the newbies under him.
The Wutang students are very promising, and they are among the best. It turns out that the suicide squads are all waste, so let’s learn from them!
Li Guolou almost didn't laugh. He learned another trick. In the future, he will train people with no future to be death squads. He spends a lot of money, and war is a waste of money. For people like him who don't want to enrich the country,
You have to accumulate a rich family fortune before you dare to raise a team to fight.
"Catch Cao Kezhong!" "Catch Cao Kezhong!" The officers and soldiers on the street kept shouting excitedly.
When he heard that the leader of the rebel army had been captured, Li Guolou stopped and thought he should be rewarded! He said happily: "Let's go! Two chieftains, let's take a look together. Deputy Marshal Xu said he would kill this traitor himself."
"
Mo Baoguo, the chieftain of the army, stared at him and said angrily: "How can that be done? So many of my son-in-laws have died, and I will take the skin of Cao Kezhong!"
Li Guolou glanced in fear and said, "Touch Mo, do you still have this skill?"
"Of course, it's passed down from our ancestors. I'll give you a human skin bronze drum tomorrow. It's worth a thousand taels." Mo Baoguo said as he walked, walking very fast on purpose. His resolute style was just to strike first and skin Cao Kezhong himself.
Human skin.
Li Guolou's hair stood on end, and his back felt chilly. He saw the two chieftains running away, and he knew what the final outcome would be. He actually had no say here, others were just being polite to him. The two chieftains were loyal to the king and patriotic.
, came to serve the country for free, and even deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao had to be polite to them, how could he not give them face? Cao Kezhong's living skin was about to be peeled off.
Three floors inside and three outside, Yang Dawazi and He Mingtang personally escorted Cao Kezhong, who was tied up with five flowers, and stood on a stone mill for the Qing army to visit. Or do their own family members know where Cao Kezhong's lair is? Cao Kezhong was hiding in the vegetable cellar.
Captured by Yang Dawazi's troops.
Amidst the noise, Li Guolou squeezed in and asked suspiciously: "How did you catch Yang Dawazi? Didn't Cao Kezhong even have the courage to commit suicide?"
He Mingtang laughed loudly and said: "Master Li, it's funny to say that Cao Kezhong was arrested by his four little wives, Hua Mulan among the girls."
The surrounding Qing soldiers burst into laughter and looked at the bruised and bruised Cao Kezhong with dirty expressions. It turned out that Cao Kezhong was beaten like this by his own woman. Those who bully women will be severely retaliated by their women.
Li Guolou was bullied by Yang Dawazi and gave him a reward of 500 taels. He shook his head with a smile and left. The next scene was so cruel. Chieftain Peng Dingyue and chieftain Mo Baoguo skinned people alive on the street without asking deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao for instructions.
He is a civil servant and is not suitable to watch this scene.
The last strong fortress was breached by the Qing army, and a landlord's house in Lijiabao became the residence of Li Ziying. Li Guolou did not visit the situation captured by the Qing army. After the war, the various armies divided the spoils, and even Zuo Zongtang did not
I will ask, he is the escort appointed by the imperial court, and it is taboo to even look at it. The civil servant, who maintains a high moral integrity, slowly grinds and prepares a manuscript, preparing to write a colorful report.
Under the oil lamp, Li Guolou's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he couldn't put down the pen in his hand. Having experienced the war personally, he didn't know where to start?
"Visiting the Lijiapu Victory in person" discount.
Li Guolou wrote in the compromise: "Under the personal command of Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao, our army conquered Lijiabao in just one day with overwhelming momentum. Huang Ding led the tenth battalion with unparalleled courage and courage.
Achievements······”
Thousands of words were written eloquently, and the war situation was briefly written aside. The cruel war was just a series of numbers on the paper. Thinking of the families in Lijiabao who suffered the disaster, a feeling of sadness accumulated in the chest, the endless civil war of the Qing Dynasty
When will it end?
Sporadic gunshots could be heard vaguely. Li Guolou was not sleepy. He was lying on the kang with a magnifying glass and looking at Dong Zhiyuan's map.
