Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 134 Cleaning the battlefield is a professional job

"Don't move, anyone who runs away will be shot to death! Lie on the ground! Hold your head with your hands!" Liu Sheng shot a Qing army wearing a bright yellow vest to death, and pointed his gun at the surrounded enemies There are two more bursts at the foot.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Master, spare your life!"

……

Hundreds of captured civilian husbands, gang soldiers and several Han army shotgunners knelt on the ground, kowtowing for mercy.

Yaichiro pulled the bayonet on the gun halfway, shook his hands vigorously, and the sharp bayonet was thrown out.He still learned this hand from Wang Yuanfang, and it took several days of practice before he mastered the trick.

"Get down! Put your head in your hands!"

When the soldiers under him saw it, they also pulled out their bayonets, pointed at the group of prisoners, and shouted together.

All the captives were shivering in fear of the sharp bayonets around them, and they all lay down on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, not daring to move.Liu Sheng squinted at the backs of the money rat tails all over the place!He couldn't help cursing: "It's so ugly!"

At this time, Wu Siyu brought people over, Liu Sheng confessed to him a few words, waved his hand, and headed west with Jiuzang's company.Seldan saw it and hurriedly chased after him.

As the gunfire gradually died down, the battle that lasted a day and nearly wiped out a company was finally over.

Wang Yuanfang saw that Zhao Xin was busy treating the wounded and couldn't care less about anything else, so he said to Ding Guofeng who was sitting under a tree drinking water, "Guofeng, I have a task for you."

Ding Guofeng was also exhausted, he put down the kettle and stood up, shouting "Here!"

"You go to Wu Siyu and ask for a platoon to go back with you. First, tell Lao Chen to prepare some shovels, picks, and hoes; second, bring the other [-] recruits to clean up the battlefield; third, let Dr. Hong and his young couple came over with their subordinates to help Zhao Xin deal with the wounded. There are too many wounded, and he can't handle them at all."

Ding Guofeng repeated Wang Yuanfang's confession, then saluted, and turned to look for Wu Siyu's important person.

Wang Yuanfang turned his head and looked around. The scene is a bit chaotic, and many soldiers don't know what to do.Some of them have already started to clean the battlefield, searching the belongings of those dead soldiers.He hurriedly said to Erlu who was guarding Zhao Xin: "Erlu, go and chase Master Liu back! Just say it's my order! Shoushan, go and invite Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang over immediately."

"Go ahead. You two can't help much here." Zhao Xin, who was bandaging the soldier's wound, said calmly without looking back.

Erlu and Lu Shoushan stood at attention to salute, and left immediately.

Ten minutes later, both Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang came over, but Liu Sheng hadn't come back yet.When the two saw Wang Yuanfang's dark face, what happened in their hearts?After asking, I found out that the two companies led by the old squad leader suffered too many casualties.

The company led by Huji suffered more than 30 casualties, while Sheng Haizhou's company, counting himself, had only a dozen people left standing, and all of them were defeated.Sheng Haizhou was stabbed in the left shoulder, the incision was not deep, but a lot of blood flowed out.At the beginning, he was in a state of excitement in hand-to-hand combat, and he didn't notice it at all. When Zhao Xin brought people over to treat the wounded, he realized that he was injured.

Wu Siyu patted Wang Yuanfang's shoulder and comforted him: "Squad leader, don't think too much. This is our first time, and it's inevitable. These 'soldiers' have to continue practicing when they go back!"

Wang Yuanfang said with a dark face: "I have already asked Ding Guofeng to go back and call someone. We don't need to clean up the battlefield. Now someone has started to search the property of the Qing army. You have to reiterate the three major disciplines and eight items to the soldiers below. Attention! Offenders...dismissed from the military! Send them back to the island country!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang immediately stood at attention and saluted.Mouth said: "Yes!"

"Siyu, you take a company to check the dead and wounded on the battlefield. All the wounded and not dead are sent to..." Wang Yuanfang raised his eyes and looked into the Qing army camp, pointing to the position of the handsome tent in the center of the camp and said: "Everyone Send it there. Anyone who resists will be shot!"

"Zhao Liang, take a dozen people to search in the big tent to see if there are any letters and the like to keep."

Zhao Liang asked, "Where do you put the found things?"

Zhao Xin stood up and said, "Letters and seals are put in the patrol boat by the sea. Don't worry about the rest."

In the ancient army, there was also a special person responsible for cleaning the battlefield.Rescue the wounded of one's own side, search for the surviving hiding enemy troops, count the seized materials and official documents, recover weapons, and dispose of the corpses.

Wang Yuanfang is currently arranging the first three tasks. As for the latter two tasks, we will wait for Chen Qingsong to bring people here.

The six members of the security department have no experience in large-scale battles.When Liu Sheng and the others joined the army, they were only soldiers in charge of reconnaissance and special operations, and Wang Yuanfang was the squad leader.It was not their turn to be responsible for these things when they joined the army.

Wang Yuan asked Zhao Xin, "Can you see if there is anything missing?"

Zhao Xin looked at the tourniquets all around and made the initial dressing of the wounded soldiers. He rubbed the back of his neck and said, "The environment and sunlight here are not good. Call those who can move to help lift the wounded soldiers." Go to the Qing army camp."

It is said that battlefield ambulance is really not something that can be dealt with with a little knowledge of first aid. A large number of injuries and bleeding are often an important reason for the reduction of combat personnel.If the tourniquet is insufficient, finger pressure hemostasis is the key means to race against time.

But how could Zhao Xin understand this!He could only deal with the wounded with his poor knowledge of first aid.Fortunately, each soldier received a first aid kit before departure, so Zhao Xin first tied up the area around the wound with the tourniquet in the first aid kit, and then simply wrapped it with gauze.

As for the broken limbs and fractures, Zhao Xin really couldn't handle them.So everyone could only use branches to make a simple stretcher to carry these people down the mountain.

When Lu Shoushan helped transfer the wounded soldiers to the Qing army camp, he saw that all the captives in the northeast corner of the camp had been tied up. Pan Xiucheng was leading his men to tie the tied up captives together with ropes.

"Okay, Xiucheng! What do you think of this trick?"

Pan Xiucheng smiled and said: "Shoushan, you forgot, when we first arrived at Ninggu Pagoda, didn't we always tie them in a string like this before we went out to work?"

Lu Shoushan patted his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!"

When the two were talking, several of the captives raised their heads and looked at Lu Shoushan in surprise.

"Brother Lu?" A young prisoner asked tentatively.

"You are?" Lu Shoushan took two steps forward, looked at the prisoner with a face full of dirt, and asked suspiciously.

"I'm Zhang Fang!" The young man looked anxious, struggling to get up.A soldier next to him raised the butt of his gun and gave it to his stomach.The young man was immediately out of breath from the pain, bent down and knelt on the ground, moaning unceasingly.

"Zhang Fang?" Lu Shoushan called out in surprise.

Two hours later, Ding Guofeng returned to Beihai Town with a platoon of soldiers.He came to the Xila River, turned on the walkie-talkie and called Chen Qingsong.

"Old Chen! We have won! Hurry up and cross the river! It's over."

After Ding Guofeng finished speaking, he heard no response from the walkie-talkie.He was about to say it again when he heard a huge cheer from the top of the opposite hill.

"Long live! Long live!" This is a refugee.

"Yeah~~! We won!" This is Liu Siting.

Ding Guofeng slandered: "Good guy! Director Liu's voice is really penetrating."

"Old Chen! Old Chen!"

"Ah, I'm here! Over."

"Hurry up and take [-] soldiers across the river with Katayama. Your help is needed on the battlefield! Hurry up!"

……

It didn't take long for a battle to be fought, but the work of cleaning the battlefield was busy from noon until late at night.

Dr. Hong, his wife and more than 20 female nurses under his command brought all the wounded and soldiers who died in Beihai Town back to Beihai Town in the first batch on the Thunder God.

After Chen Qingsong and Katayama Kanbingwei arrived with more than 1000 recruits, they swept away all the seized materials from the Qing army camp; they took away everything they could.

Several warships by the sea were still burning until nightfall, and the warships that sank into the sea were not easy to salvage, so they were ignored for the time being.However, those broken limbs on the shore that were smashed by M2HB made Chen Qingsong and his gang terrified; many recruits vomited on the spot.

No way, Katayama Kanbingwei led more than 100 people, hastily dug a big pit on the west side of the Qing army camp, and first buried these limbs and the Qing soldiers who died in battle.Then he escorted the remaining supplies back to Beihai Town through the mountain road.

As for Hai Lancha, who was beaten to death by Wang Yuanfang, and another general who was beaten to death by whom, Zhao Xin arranged for several people to dig two graves, buried them separately and marked them.

In any case, Hai Lancha also fought against the Burmese invasion.From the perspective of another time and space, this person can be regarded as a hero and deserves respect.

Liu Sheng led two platoons all the way to the west and chased for more than ten miles. During the period, he got separated from Seldan, and finally got lost in the forest by himself!If Erlu hadn't found them by looking for their footprints, it's hard to say what the consequences would be.

On the second day after returning to Beihai Town, Zhao Xin called a plenary meeting.Each person reported on the matters they were responsible for.

Hong Tao rubbed his red eyes, took a notebook and told about the casualties.

"55 people were killed in the battle in Beihai Town, 16 people were seriously injured, and 11 people were slightly injured. Among the dead, 30 people died from bows and arrows; 22 people died from shelling; [-] people were killed by sharp weapons such as knives or spears.

Among the seriously injured, five were hit by bows and arrows, and the other 11 were caused by cutting or stabbing with sharp weapons.As for minor injuries, there are many reasons. Some of them sprained their feet while marching, some were wounded by knives, and two were shot by matchlock guns of the Qing army. "

Wang Yuanfang bowed his head and remained silent, while Liu Sheng and the others looked at each other.82 people were killed and injured in a row, almost one in a row! .
Zhao Xin thought depressingly, would it be necessary to prepare iron face shields and stab-proof suits for soldiers in the future?

Next came Chen Qingsong to report the situation, and there were many things on his side.Including the number of corpses of Qing soldiers inspected, weapons and materials seized.

"...Among them, there are fifteen artillery pieces, five large carrying guns, 480 matchlock guns, and two hundred hand guns; there are a lot of other bows, arrows, knives, various long guns, shells, gunpowder, flags, tents, tables, chairs, and benches. It is still being inspected. There are another 360 seven Mongolian horses, but according to the account of the captured grooms, many of the horses have broken free from their reins and ran away because of fright.”

Zhang Bo raised his hand and asked, "Old Chen, how much money was seized?"

"Uh... this is still being counted. Shen Jingdan and Huang Maocai are also helping to count. It should be about 2 taels. Shen Jingdan said that these silver coins are going to be used to reward the soldiers of the Qing army after the war."

Everyone has no idea about silver at all, so they are all going to have a look after the meeting.

Chen Qingsong continued: "There is another problem, which is the sunken ship by the sea. Mr. Zhao told me that there are two cannons on each big ship, and they must be pulled back. Then the land reclamation and house building must be put aside for the next few days. Fang, the road between the two places is really difficult to walk, we have to build a road anyway."

Hong Tao and his wife, Liu Zheng and Zhang Bo had no objection to this matter, anyway, they lived on the boat at night.

Wang Yuanfang said suddenly: "Bring the artillery back and study it carefully first, including those matchlock guns and bows and arrows. We must figure out the effective attack distance of these weapons!"

The last was Wu Siyu, who was responsible for reporting the situation of the captives.

"The total number of captives is 600. These people include the 37 we found when we checked the soldiers who died in the battle. Among these people, [-] people are all Han Chinese..."

"Han people?! How could there be Han people?" Hong Tao and the others looked at Wu Siyu in surprise.

"After Wu Siyu finished speaking, I will answer you." Zhao Xin said lightly.

"Among the 397 people, 97 were musketeers from Jilin, and the remaining [-] were Han Chinese slaves from Ningguta. Most of the remaining [-] were armored soldiers from Jilin, and some Six Manchus from Beijing. According to him, one of them is Qianlong's second-class bodyguard..."

When everyone heard it, Yo!What a master!I have to take a look at it for a while.

"...All the captives are now being guarded by our soldiers and the security police of Katayama Kanbingwei. The location..."

"It goes without saying, everyone can ask me in private." Zhao Xin raised his hand and interrupted Wu Siyu.He took a sip of water and scanned the crowd with a serious face.

"About the matter of Han slaves, let me remind everyone first. Don't think that all the slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are worthy of our emancipation and sympathy.

I may not sound good when I say this, but this is proved by historical data!I will show you some interrogation records later, and you will understand what I mean by then. "

"Mr. Zhao, I don't like to hear your words! The Han people are our compatriots, and we have an obligation to rescue them! Why do we still treat them like prisoners?!"

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Liu Zheng who made the suggestion.The young man has been taking care of the horses with peace of mind since he came here.Sometimes I also help Hong Tao and Liu Siting to deal with trauma.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't think it's right for you to do this." Hong Tao adjusted his glasses and raised a different opinion.

"Okay. Since you want to know, I'll tell you my reason." Zhao Xin explained with a smile.
