The Sun Never Sets Great China

Chapter 104 Attacking the Urn City

The sun climbed up early, hung high in the sky, and sprinkled light and heat on the ground.Although the temperature in this season is not hot, it is still a bit uncomfortable for the soldiers who are still wearing cotton clothes and training on the plains.

There are a large number of soldiers training on the ground. In the training team, the soldier "Heitan" unbuttoned the two cloth buttons on the cotton collar, looked up at the sun in the sky, and then lowered his head helplessly, looking at the Zhang Shishi, standing in front of the two queues, listened to his lectures without a word in his ears.

They were the soldiers who surrendered when Tu Hai fled. When Tu Hai led the Manchu army to retreat, they encountered Li Yan, Gao Yigong, Li Dingguo and other regular troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. 10,000+ soldiers with fast guns surrounded them with almost no resistance and all surrendered. Only Tuhai took less than 2000 Banner soldiers and more than [-] sailors and fled north along the canal by boat. The ruffian soldiers are not even as good as the militiamen of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. If they are released back, they are afraid that they will harm the village or continue to join the Manchu army. Zhang Huahan has no choice but to order them to train. Became a bandit or took refuge in Man Qingqiang.

"Listen to me! Did you call it 'going step' just now? You called it a crab step! If you should step your right leg, you should step your left leg, and if you should step your left foot, you should step your right foot. Are you trying to drive me to death? Let me tell you! If you can’t look good today, don’t even think about sleeping, don’t even think about eating! When will you leave, and when will you eat again!”

Zhang Shitou paused after finishing speaking, "Don't take this kind of queue training as a joke, it is very important on the battlefield! Although you don't have many firearms in your hands now, you will be equipped with them in the future. At that time, you will be able to It came in handy!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shitou took two steps closer to the soldiers, "Now you are no longer soldiers of the Green Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! You are soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army! Don't think about living the leisurely days before! You don't want to run away either! Tell you the truth, you can't run far if you want to, and if the officer doesn't catch you, the guards will! If the guards don't catch you, hunger will! If hunger doesn't catch you, Then I'll catch you! If I can't catch you, your family and neighbors will catch you when you get home."

Hearing this, "Heitan" gently tugged on the sleeve of Wang San'er who was standing beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Why does Shitou like to say this sentence the most?" Wang San'er looked at Zhang Shitou and saw He didn't look at himself, and said: "You don't know, this sentence was actually said by the leader Zhao Zhixuan first, and it was learned by Shi Shi later, and it became his mantra." "Heitan" Suddenly realized, murmured: "So that's how it is."

Zhang Shitou didn't notice the small movements of the soldiers below. Now he was very anxious. The other adapted Tuhai troops had basically started normal training and had made some progress. But his troops But it was seriously hindered, and what made him lose face was that in yesterday's formation competition, his troops won the last place, and he became the object of laughter of the whole army, making him unable to hold his head up in front of other officers Come.In order to save face, he had no choice but to train his subordinates harder, hoping to feel proud as soon as possible.

Zhang Shitou looked at these soldiers who were more lazy than ruffians, and sighed helplessly in his heart. He wasted so much saliva, and he didn't know if they listened. Now he finally understands why the officers of the regular army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army I often lament that elite soldiers are rare.

Zhang Shitou paused for a moment, then stepped aside, and shouted with all his strength: "Everyone is here! Get ready to go forward!" He raised his right hand, looked at the two drummers beside the troops, swung his arms vigorously, and shouted : "Beat the drums! Step together—go!" Looking at the soldiers walking in disorder, Zhang Shitou couldn't help but smile bitterly. He followed behind the team, correcting wrong steps from time to time, and making various voices loudly: " You, Wang San'er! You took the wrong foot!" "You, 'Heitan'! You are walking too fast! You are too close to the person in front! Now you have no gun or bayonet, of course it is fine, but once On the battlefield, if you just walk around with a bayonet-tipped gun like this, you will stab the people in front of you to death!"

Just when Zhang Shitou was tossing with his subordinates, Zhang Huahan was sitting in his tent, playing with a bronze trumpet with both hands, and a middle-aged man stood in front of him.Zhang Huahan fiddled with it for a long time, and asked: "How much does it cost to make such a military horn?" The middle-aged man replied: "The copper skin, coal, handwork, etc., add up to more than ten yuan. If you make more, It can be reduced a little bit." Zhang Huahan put the trumpet on his mouth and blew vigorously. "Du——" A loud trumpet sounded from the tent, startling the two guards standing outside the tent. They looked at each other and smiled slightly, because this was the tenth sound that Zhang Huahan blew today. The horn rang.

Zhang Huahan got the news from the headquarters that the breech-loading rifle factory with cartridges equipped with smokeless gunpowder and yellow powder and various sound field machines powered by steam engines have been equipped, and production has already begun. When the breech-loading guns are equipped with troops , Zhang Huahan began to use skirmish line tactics and the three-three system to cooperate with each other and to train soldiers in various modern combat methods so that they can adapt to this new tactical form as soon as possible.But it didn't take long before a new problem arose, that is, the command of the skirmish line was not as easy as that of a dense formation, and the signal sources such as tin drums and gongs used before were almost ineffective for skirmish warfare. A new command tool.As a person who does not belong to this era, Zhang Huahan naturally thought of the charge number used by soldiers in modern times, and of the "doo-doo-doo" bronze horn.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhang Huahan sent people to find a few coppersmiths nearby, and ordered them to make copper horns according to the drawings he drew.After a few days of hard work, the craftsmen produced several samples and sent them to Zhang Huahan for inspection, but the voices of these samples were either too shrill or too hoarse, so he had to order them to try again.The hard work paid off, and the samples sent by the craftsmen today are very good, very close to the sound of the bugle that Zhang Huahan heard in modern times.

Zhang Huahan was very satisfied, and he said to the craftsman: "Very good, this is a good job. You can take this number back and let the coppersmiths do it according to this. First, make 100 pieces. If it is good, we will I will give you [-] taels of silver." The craftsman nodded happily after hearing this, and he held out the bronze trumpet like a treasure, while Zhang Huahan walked to a map and looked at it carefully.

The map at this time was too rough. Not only could the terrain not be seen from the map, but also the exact distance between the two places could not be known.Zhang Huahan really wants to draw an accurate map, but it is obviously impossible now, and he doesn't know how to do it. It seems that he can only invite people who are proficient in geography to get it later.

At this time, a guard came into the account and reported: "Deputy Commander, a man who claims to be your subordinate is outside the account. He is holding a note and wants to see you." Zhang Huahan said: "Bring him in." The two The guards brought the man in, but Zhang Huahan didn't recognize him.The man didn't speak, but just handed a note to a guard, and he passed it to Zhang Huahan.

Zhang Huahan took the note and looked at it, and saw that there was a paragraph made up of the lyrics of several modern songs on it, which was the secret code he made up for the special investigation team to contact.Zhang Huahan looked at the two guards, and said: "It's none of your business here, you guard the tent, and no one is allowed to enter without my order." After the two guards left the tent, Zhang Huahan already knew that the other party was a member of the special investigation team , But it must be tested again, and I told the man about the incision.The man saw Xiaoyue standing beside Zhang Huahan, and he looked at Xiaoyue with some embarrassment.

"It's okay with him, my confidant." As soon as Zhang Huahan said, the man immediately clasped his fists and said the incision, and said: "Your subordinate Tie Dali will see Deputy Commander Zhang." Zhang Huahan said: "There is no need to be polite." He pointed A chair beside him said, "Sit down and talk." After Tie Dali sat down, Zhang Huahan continued to ask, "Did your person in charge, Liu Xiaoliu, send you here?" Tie Dali thought for a while, and said, "Yes. Not really." Zhang Huahan was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tie Dali said: "We have to start from the beginning. Last time Chief Liu went to Yangzhou City to meet Deputy Commander Zhang, but his subordinates stayed in the rural organization base near Xuzhou City and failed to go to Yangzhou together. Later, Chief Liu came back and returned He brought a thousand fast guns that you sent, and he ordered his subordinates to take a few brothers to stay outside Xuzhou city, and not to enter the city without orders, while he personally led his masters into Xuzhou city to instigate some green battalion troops Han soldiers. Everything was normal at the beginning. Chief Liu sent people out of the city several times to spread the word, saying that he had instigated many people and was trying to find a way to catch up with the Han generals of the Qing army. But then Tuhai’s army was defeated and fled back to Xuzhou, while our Chinese The revolutionary army was approaching Xuzhou City step by step. Chief Liu guessed that Xuzhou City might be closed soon, so he came up with a way to communicate with the inside and outside of the city. Chief Liu ordered me to lead fifteen brothers to live in the northeast corner of Xuzhou Watch the northeast corner of Xuzhou City day and night to see if there is any gunpowder with purple smoke shot out. If there is an arrow shot out, we should immediately take away the bamboo tube tied to the arrow and send it to us quickly. The army camp was handed over to the commander in chief. We followed the instructions of Chief Liu, and set up wooden boards on the edge of a high mountain forest in the northeast corner of Xuzhou, piled up soil, and then monitored the northeast corner of the city wall day and night. Yesterday I was watching, when it was not too late, I heard a scream, and then I saw a gunpowder dynamite flying out of the city with purple smoke, and then landed in the lake. Sure enough, there was a bamboo tube, the mouth of the tube was sealed with wax, and no water entered. I opened the bamboo tube, and saw that it was a secret letter written by Chief Liu. After checking on the page, I found out that Chief Liu had already thought of a way to connect with a lieutenant general, but he needed the cooperation of the army outside the city. If the two sides cooperate well, they might be able to win Xuzhou in one fell swoop. I will keep a few The brothers continued to observe, and I rushed to Li Yan's camp with other brothers, looking for Li Yan, but the soldiers guarding the gate refused to let me in. In desperation, I had to give the soldiers ten taels of silver and asked him After inquiring, I learned that Deputy Commander Zhang was camping here. I didn't dare to delay, so I rushed over overnight, because I didn't have any horses, so I didn't arrive until now, I hope there is no delay." After he finished speaking, he took out two A note was handed over to Zhang Huahan.

When Zhang Huahan heard that Li Yan's soldiers were accepting bribes, his face turned red. In fact, the regular army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is not as strict as the Eighth Route Army that once shocked the land of China. Not necessarily, after all, people's consciousness is not so high in this era, and sometimes you can only clean up the chief culprits in the army, and the rest can only turn a blind eye, you can't count on all The generals of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are absolutely free from filth, and when the water is clear, there will be no fish, especially in this era when people have not yet bloomed.

Zhang Huahan thought of this, Xiaoyue clicked on him, who was a little dazed, and immediately took a look at the note in Tie Dali's hand. The first note was a secret letter written by Liu Xiaoliu, and the other was Tie Dali. The content of the translated secret letter.He raised his head and saw Tie Dali's tired face and red eyes, knowing that he must have stayed up all night, so he said: "You did a good job, it's none of your business here, you go down and get a good sleep." He called A guard came in and ordered him to lead Tie Dali into a nearby tent to rest.

According to Liu Xiaoliu's arrangement in the letter, Zhang Huahan knew that he would definitely do it tomorrow night, so he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately called Chen tomorrow and ordered him to be in charge of the affairs of the camp, while he led Xiaoyue and took a group of people with him. Thousands of cavalry rushed towards Li Yan's camp.

There are hundreds of soldiers on the walls of Xuzhou city, and they are lying on the battlements with their swords and guns in their arms, smiling and watching the two lieutenants below who are arguing awkwardly.It turned out that Wang Guangtou, the deputy general of the Manchu Qing army who had been instigated to rebel, was deliberately looking for trouble with another deputy general guarding the city gate. Qian Shanli, a liaison officer of the Special Investigation Team of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, stood on the edge of the city wall, waiting there anxiously. After a while, he saw three torches appearing on the street in the distance, so he ordered his subordinates to watch the situation of the Manchu soldiers, while he himself found a hiding place, drew two pistols from his waist, and held them in both hands. Go up, aim at the general manager, and fire two shots "bang bang".The first shot didn't know where it went, but the second shot almost hit someone, but it didn't hit the gun, but hit the foot of the bald head of his own man. "Oh!" Bald Wang covered his feet and sat down on the ground pretending to be injured. You bastard Qian Shanli, you don't usually practice marksmanship, you just shot at your own people, he cursed in his heart, and also cursed in his mouth: " Well, you bastard! If you dare to send someone to plot against me, let’s see how I deal with you!" He waved his hand, pointed at another deputy general of the Qing army opposite, and said, "Brothers, give me this turtle Sun did it!"

How could the deputy general of the Manchu Qing army be willing to catch him without a fight when the commander of Wang Guangtou, who was also the deputy general, dealt with him?He also had many soldiers under his command, and immediately the two gangs fought each other, causing chaos under the city wall.Qian Shanli immediately pulled out a one-foot-long small rocket from his waist, held it in his hand, and ignited it. With a sound of "swish", the rocket soared into the sky, pulling out a bright flame.

The hundreds of Qing soldiers on the city wall came looking for their voices, but just as they saw Qian Shanli huddled there furtively, they heard a gunshot behind him, and several of them died in a daze, while the rest died. With a cry, he fled down the city rolling and crawling.Seeing that the soldiers guarding the winch had run away, Qian Shan led his men to winch the winch, and the iron gates of the outer city were slowly raised.

At this time, some Manchu and Qing officers and soldiers under the city had reacted, and they all shouted: "A spy has sneaked in! Everyone, fuck you!" The already chaotic situation under the city wall became even more chaotic, and people running around could be seen everywhere. Soldiers of the Qing army.

Now Baldy Wang finally remembered what he was doing here, and he quickly ran to the city wall with a dozen of his own soldiers, commanding his men to guard the footpaths of the city wall and prevent other Manchu troops from entering the city.

The lieutenant general who was arguing with Wang Guangtou also understood, and he shouted: "Brothers! That Wang Guangtou is a spy, everyone! Kill him, and I will give you credit for everyone!" But the two steps up the city It was tightly guarded by Bald Wang's soldiers, and it was impossible to rush up. The lieutenant watched helplessly as the iron gate was slowly raised, but he was helpless.Fortunately, one of his soldiers reminded him that he remembered that he could go up to the first urn city that was supposed to be guarded by the bald king, and then come around from the other end. He swung his waist knife and led hundreds of men to rush towards the urn. Wengcheng.

But time was running out. Countless soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who rushed in from the outside ran to the first city wall, and quickly rushed in through the fully opened gate of the iron gate. An urn city.After they ran and stuck on the iron gate of the Wengcheng, the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army left after lighting the fuse on the gunpowder, and hid in the city wall where Qian Shanli, the liaison officer of the special investigation team, and others were located. superior.

After a while, everyone only heard a loud bang, and then bricks and rubble flew everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.When the gunpowder smoke dissipated and everyone looked again, the first urn city disappeared without a trace together with the city tower and the iron gate, and the soldiers led by the deputy general suffered heavy casualties.

Just before everyone recovered from the shock, two groups of Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers with gunpowder barrels rushed in. They quickly crossed the gap in the first urn and rushed to the second urn. Following the same example, they blew up the second urn to the sky, but the last blasting team did not continue to rush forward. When they reached the ruins of the urn, they had to stop because the ruins of the city wall had already blocked the front. , it is not easy for them to carry heavy gunpowder barrels.

However, this is not important anymore, because tens of thousands of Chinese Revolutionary Army infantry have rushed into the city. As soon as they entered the city, they rushed up the city wall one after another, rushed along the city wall to other urns, and quickly defeated Wen. The city defenders of the Manchu Qing army rushed over, and with the support of tens of thousands of troops who came later, they occupied all the urns in Xuzhou City and completely controlled it.
