Although the Young Guards were trained rigorously, they had not experienced the baptism of war. They were a little clumsy when they rushed up the mountain at first. Some of them even forgot to fire their guns and rushed straight up. Fortunately, they were rookies, especially the bandits.
In a panic, the gate of the village, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was suddenly breached. Only a dozen of the Young Guards were injured, which was extremely lucky.
After entering the village, the teenagers gradually became more stable, and the Mauser rifles in their hands also showed excellent performance. Soon, dozens of bandits had their heads blown off, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. This was the case in the front mountain, and even more in the back mountain.
That's it. Qiao Yu seized two machine guns. He was shooting like crazy at this time. There were only two boxes of bullets left. The corpses in front of him were also spread all over the floor. Most of them were swept by the machine guns. Their arms were
Legs flying around.
"Shoot sparingly, or you'll run out of bullets!"
"General Office, it seems there is no need to save money. Wang Huai has hit a target. These thieves will be defeated soon! Let's rush forward."
The person who spoke was Li Jingyuan. Qiao Yu also noticed at this time that there were dozens of bandits rushing over surrounded by a big man. These were all tough bandits with many years of experience. They did not fight blindly with machine guns, but cleverly.
Hidden among the rocks, with the help of the cover of the rocks, they moved closer to the mouth of the valley. Just when they were not far away, the body of the big man in the leader swayed for a while, and then fell to the ground. The bandits suddenly panicked.
At a loss, they fled one after another. When Qiao Yu saw that the situation was settled, he called for the vanguard squad and rushed out. The training of these vanguard squads was several times more rigorous than that of other guards. The marksmanship of these teenagers was also more accurate. Basically, as long as they saw
When a bandit showed up, his head was blown off, and he continued to fight all the way to the Juyi Hall in the middle of the village. More than two hours later, the two teams finally met in front of the Juyi Hall. The one who was beaten to death
There were more than 200 bandits, and more than 100 people took advantage of the chaos and ran out. The last few dozen people fled into the Juyi Hall and put up a stubborn resistance.
At this time, the bronze cannon was also pushed up. Since there was no artillery among the guards, the teenagers did not know how to operate it. It was Qiao Yu who did it himself, loaded the gunpowder and shells, aimed at the Juyi Hall, and fired.
With a loud sound, a corner of the Juyi Hall collapsed, and two cannons were fired in succession. The Juyi Hall was completely knocked down. The few remaining bandits rushed out and were all shot dead. At this point, the bandits who had been running rampant for a while were completely eliminated.
Qiao Yu hurriedly asked everyone to treat the wounds and search for the loot. With the dog-headed military advisor leading the way, he quickly found the place where the bandits had hidden their treasure. After checking, they found that there were three hundred thousand taels of silver and more than two thousand more.
Two taels of gold, countless other jewelry and jades, and some ancient paintings, but they are not well preserved. They are still scattered around, some have become moldy, and some have had their corners torn off and are in great ruins.
In addition to the fine gold and silver, more than 1,600 loads of rice and flour, more than 50 mules and horses, and 25 boxes of opium cigarettes were also found. Fifteen girls were found in a courtyard.
, all plundered from nearby areas for them to enjoy, these thieves indeed deserve to die.
Counting all the money together, there are more than 500,000 taels, which can be regarded as a big harvest. In this operation, five members of the Young Guards also died, all of whom unfortunately died in the shooting, and there were more than a dozen others.
Although Qiao Yu was saddened by his personal injury, he also knew that no one would die in a war. It was good to have such small casualties, so he could only pay more money to compensate.
At this time, it was already dawn. Qiao Yu ordered all the loot to be carried on mules and horses, and took dozens of prisoners. One of the prisoners was the village leader Chen Heihu. This guy was also very lucky. He was shot in the chest by Wang Huai, but
But he didn't die immediately. He was caught while cleaning the battlefield. It can be said that he was caught. Basically, the trip was completed...
Qiao Yu personally escorted his sister-in-law and niece down to Tiangang Village. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a lot of villagers had gathered here. The leader was Old Man Wang. It turned out that the explosions and gunfire at night had alerted these people. Everyone
They are all suffering from the scourge of Tiangang Village, I wish someone could destroy this bandit.
It's just that the government has let them down one after another, and they only wanted to see this operation. Unexpectedly, after a while, many former gangsters were seen one after another escaping from the mountains like lost dogs.
Running around, no matter how stupid anyone sees this place, they will know that Tiangang Village has been raided, and many brave people are holding shotguns to kill these bandits.
Most of the bandits who escaped were killed by the extremely angry villagers. It can be said that not many escaped. Now these villagers have gathered before Tiangang Village. They have heard that the officers and soldiers destroyed Tiangang Village, and now they have gathered.
I came here just to see what this team has to offer, and the villagers were truly impressed upon seeing them.
Although after a night of fierce fighting, the young men did not slack off at all. The team was still very neat and orderly. Dozens of mules and horses were loaded with trophies, and they looked very majestic. Old Man Wang stood at the front of the team and could be seen from a distance.
Grandson Wang Yongyi ran over.
"Grandpa, Mr. Qiao has wiped out all the bandits!" When the old man heard this, tears suddenly filled his eyes. Wangjia Village was the most severely damaged village by Tiangang Village. Dozens of people died in the mountain.
Now that the thief's revenge was avenged, everyone looked very excited. Old Man Wang even knelt down in front of Qiao Yu with a grunt.
"Master Qiao, on behalf of the folks in these ten miles and eight villages, thank you!"
After saying that, he was about to kowtow. Qiao Yu hurriedly supported the old man: "You are so polite. Since I am the patrol police chief in Chongqing, I should eliminate the harm to the villagers. I also seized some grain, more than a thousand dans.
Now it is placed in the cottage. If it is not transported, it will be distributed to everyone! You should organize the manpower and divide the food, and then burn the cottage completely to prevent other thieves from occupying this place and harming everyone again!"
When Old Man Wang heard that there were more than a thousand loads of grain, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. These people hadn't seen rice for an unknown amount of time. It would be great if they could have a delicious meal of rice.
They were so grateful that some people even knelt down and kowtowed. Qiao Yu made simple arrangements and ordered Wang Tianhe to escort his sister-in-law home. He led a team of vanguards and went straight to Chongqing. The reason why he left in such a hurry was because Qiao Yu was pregnant.
There is a very important thing in it, which is a letter of appointment, which was issued to Chen Heihu by the Alliance.
The alliance appointed this bandit leader to be the commander of the third detachment of the Dongchuan Revolutionary Army. This was also discovered during the search of treasures. Qiao Yu sensitively discovered the value of this letter of appointment. Judging from the time, this was definitely for the alliance.
The bandit armed forces who colluded with the Guangzhou Uprising were undoubtedly acts of rebellion. I believe that when officials of all sizes in Chongqing and even Sichuan see this letter of appointment, they will definitely cause an earthquake.
The current Qing government only has a vague understanding of the power of the Revolutionary Party. If they knew that there was a team of more than 500 people only one day away from Chongqing, they could threaten Chongqing, the important town of Dongchuan, at any time. They would be so frightened.
It is absolutely unspeakable. The threat of the Revolutionary Party has just been confirmed. In order to deal with the Revolutionary Party, the only choice is to hand over more power to Qiao Yu. This is a trick of raising a thief to respect himself.
For those who come and go, don’t forget to collect it. I’ll do my best to share good stories with everyone.
