Lu Ming

Chapter 296 Longyan Battle ([-])
It is much more convenient for migrant worker activists to direct.They put all the goods in the silver vault into boxes, then sealed them, and tied them to the pack horses together with some valuable sundries.

When they were ready, the caravan guards began to surround the packhorse team down the mountain.There are not only riches in this team, but the mysterious figure Nan Wang also returned to the county seat with the team on a sliding pole.

After the nearly 200 people left behind searched the bandit village carefully, 150 of them also carried all the rough goods down the mountain one after another—food, knives and guns, pots and pans, all were taken away.

Among the remaining 50 people, the core consisted of two technical backbones specially sent by Ding Liqiu from the coal mining site, as well as some coal miners.

These two were the first Hangzhou immigrants to go to Dayuan.Today, the first batch of literate immigrants, as well as those who were originally skilled and then worked hard to learn language and numeracy, have become the backbone of all walks of life.They have borrowed houses and wives, and they are all successful people.

Today these two are blasting experts.When the packhorse team went up the mountain, they brought mine explosives.

After dividing the remaining 50 people into two teams, the blasting expert ordered his subordinates to start planting explosives.

There are two explosion spots: one is the ridge in front of the village gate, and the other is a line of sky.

The miners first made a row of blastholes on the ridge with tools such as steel drills and pickaxes produced in the kiln area, and then the technicians buried some diatomaceous earth explosives in the blastholes with their own hands.

This kind of explosive was invented by Nobel, and it is very suitable for mine use: nitroglycerin is absorbed with diatomaceous earth, and the efficiency is 5 times that of black powder.Although it is not as powerful as pure nitroglycerin, the main disadvantages of nitroglycerin, such as sensitivity to vibration and temperature, and difficulty in transportation, have also been effectively eliminated.

After burying the explosives and detonators, people retreated to the Tianshan Pass. The next moment, the explosives were detonated.

A series of loud bangs reverberated in the endless mountains, smoke and dust rose into the sky from the ridge, and piles of rocks rolled down like waterfalls, and a huge gap of more than 30 meters was soon exposed on the spot.

Feeling the slight tremor under his feet, the technician who counted the holes silently said: "The last shot didn't go off", and then called everyone to retreat into the sky.

If this is in a mine, then someone needs to go to troubleshoot now. Troubleshooting with a high mortality rate, people often take earth planes.However, this squib is no longer used today, and from now on, no one will come here again.

When the first group of people retreated into the first line of sky, they found that the second group was also ready.So everyone continued to retreat along the road, and when they reached a safe distance, they detonated the first line of sky according to the cat and the tiger.

The road down the mountain was long, but it was Li Qianhu who turned back frequently at the end of the line.

Looking at the first-line skyline that had been blown up, someone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.The vicious reputation spread far and wide, and the gangsters in Yantou Village that he never dared to provoke were all poisoned to death by the short-haired spies.

What shocked him even more was the blasting action.In the future, even if someone wants to go to the mountain to become a bandit, it is impossible to take advantage of the natural danger here to make a comeback. This way of cutting grass and roots is too weird and too extravagant, which makes Li Qianhu sigh.

The matter of Yantou Village was actually over the moment the bandits picked up the wine bowl, and everything after that was a mop-up operation.

In fact, as a secondary direction in the entire bandit suppression strategy, the "resources" allocated to Yantouzhai were not many, at best it was Nanwang and some "joint defense team members".

As for the Red Spear Battalion, the main force to suppress the bandits, the focus has always been on the Lin Shiwan gang in Tsushima Ridge, and the rest of the resources have to be spent on intelligence collection, so there is not much energy left to pay attention to the Yantouzhai. side.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Comrade "Chemist" was very helpful. The Yantouzhai side collectively raised their braids, which relieved a lot of burden for the main force.

Rewind time to yesterday morning, the moment when Li Qianhu led the joint defense team to set off.

After Wei Yuan hastily received Li Qianhu outside Tianhou Palace, he handed him over to Ding Liqiu, and then Wei Yuan hurried back to the headquarters.

The headquarters is busy today: Soldiers with swords, spears and guns are everywhere, and staff officers walk back and forth, abruptly creating a pre-war atmosphere of chilling.

After Wei Yuan entered the door, he took a long stride to the desk with the map on it.He first nodded left and right to express his apology, and then said loudly: "Master Li from the Thousand Households Office has already taken his troops to Yantou Village. If you don't intend to seek victory, it will not be difficult to hold the horse for a few days."

"In this way, the time has come. The Red Spear Battalion will set off early tomorrow morning, and attack Tsushima Ridge early the next morning. This time, we will definitely wipe out the gangsters and return Longyan's father and elders to a peaceful and prosperous life!"

As the sonorous words fell, Wei Yuan's fist also hit the map on the table, and a strong breath of anti-Japanese drama emerged from him.

After Wei Yuan gave the order, several squad leaders around the table also gave the order at the same time, making the whole script look very professional, including the maps on the table and on the wall - without contour lines and various marks of ancient maps.

Wei Yuan was also very satisfied to see his subordinates fighting in high spirits, so he nodded and waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting.After everyone dispersed, Wei Yuan summoned the only government figure present at the meeting: Wang Yuanzai and Wang Zhubo.

After going out with Wang Zhubo, Wei Yuan took him to the playground while expressing his grand thanks to Wang Zhubo—for this period of time, Lao Wang has become a model for the county government to support the army. kind of strong support.

And Wang Yuanzai was naturally humble at the moment.

While talking, the two walked to the side of the playground: there are two 8-pound bronze cannons here.

"Old Wang, these two cannons were smuggled in after dark, just to give Lin Shiwan a surprise when he attacked the bandit village." Wei Yuan patted the shiny bronze cannon barrels twice. : "You can't lose the chain tomorrow, the recruited militiamen must work hard!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanzai replied with a smile: "My lord, please don't worry, all the gangsters in the world will not work hard if they are given enough money!"

"Hahaha." The two laughed together.

After discussing the artillery, they went to an inconspicuous side room in the side courtyard: Erwuzi Cycas Tieqiang was waiting in the room.

After seeing the Cycas Tiegun, Wei Yuan first seriously informed him of the news that the troops would leave tomorrow, and then ordered him to return to the bandit village to find out the news. When the big troops arrived tomorrow night, he would find a way to connect with the troops and report to the bandits latest news from .

Su Tieqiang immediately agreed without hesitation.

Wei Yuan, who was very satisfied with Erwuzi's attitude, immediately took out a gold ingot weighing 10 taels to reward him; then, in front of Wang Zhubo, Wei Yuan promised a large reward of silver again, so that Come, the host and guest are happy.

After dismissing Wang Zhubo and Su Tieqiang, Wei Yuan returned to the headquarters again.At this time, Lin Dajin, a simple and honest chicken seller, was already waiting for him in a neat homemade short gown.

After Wei Yuan saw Lin Dajin, he said to him gently: "Dajin, have you considered that you will go to Tuomaling tomorrow, are you willing to lead the way for the army?"

Lin Dajin said in a tone that had already made up his mind: "The villain's success today depends entirely on the general. Tomorrow Dajin will definitely serve the general, there is no doubt about it!"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan patted Lin Dajin's short shoulder with emotion: "Oh, I'm still reliable. Dajin, don't worry, I will guarantee you a large reward when things are done!"

"Thank you, General." Lin Dajin knelt down on the spot and kowtowed three times to Wei Yuan.

"Get up." Wei Yuan bent down to help Lin Dajin up, and then said to him: "Go back and get ready, you will spend the night in the camp tonight, and leave with the team tomorrow."

Pausing for a while, Wei Yuan laughed again and said, "Come early, I'm here to let you watch movies."

Lin Dajin nodded excitedly: He knew that this group of short-haired people had a glass panel in their hands, and inside it were some lifelike small figures, sometimes singing operas, sometimes fighting, Lin Dajin could take a few glances every time . He is no stranger to ipads.

After everything was ready, the show started.

At exactly 12 o'clock that night, Lin Dajin, who had just watched "Wulongshan Bandit Suppression" on his iPad for a while, was woken up from the bed, and then he was taken to the headquarters.

The headquarters was already brightly lit.

And when Lin Dajin walked into the headquarters, he keenly noticed some abnormalities: all the short-haired soldiers had been replaced with a kind of strange red wood blunderbuss. The guns have all disappeared.

After seeing Lin Dajin, Wei Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly let out a long laugh, and then asked, "Brother Dajin, is everything settled at home?"

"Master General, everything has settled down."

"Well, it seems that the brothers have also coordinated." Wei Yuan nodded after saying something strange, and then motioned for his subordinates to hold an iPad in front of Lin Dajin: "I'm about to leave soon, I can't sleep, please brother Watch a movie."

"Let's go right away? Didn't you say that you will start tomorrow?" Lin Dajin, who felt something was wrong, was puzzled at this moment, but because his personality was simple and honest, he could only grin at this moment, and then looked up. A glass panel.

After this glance, Lin Dajin's face was terrified and incredulous at first, and then he reacted immediately, and his face immediately became stable.After completing this set of difficult face-changing skills, Lin Dajin looked up at Wei Yuan as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Wei Yuan leaned on the chair and asked jokingly: "Xiao Wu, Master Wu, seeing that the master is here, why don't you say hello?"

What was shown on the screen was the digital photo of Yantouzhai's headed horse.

Lin Dajin's face was full of question marks at this time, as if he didn't understand what Wei Yuan was saying.

Wei Yuan smiled and shook his head, then snapped his fingers.The next moment, Lin Dajin's voice came from the ipad when he was having a meeting with the gangsters in Yantouzhai.

"This, this, this" Hearing his own voice coming from the movie box, Lin Dajin, who was already incoherent, finally lost his composure at this moment.

"Lan Da is the spy I sent, Lord Wu, you have been fooled by the spy." Wei Yuan continued to smile and said: "Well, let me tell you one more thing, everyone in Yantou Village has been poisoned by Mr. Lan Da." Died, this afternoon."

"Ah!" Lin Dajin, who knew that he was no longer lucky, wanted to pounce at this moment, but he was knocked unconscious by the short stick thrown from behind him.
