"Governor Feng's order, fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire at full speed!"
"put!"
"Load solid bullets!"
"Double shotgun!"
"Scorching incendiary bombs!"
The sixty-seven artillery pieces did not start firing at the same time. After the frontmost howitzer fired all the grenades, white smoke enveloped the entire artillery piece. At this time, the second artillery piece on the right also began to howl and retreat. , he fired scorching incendiary bombs, and more than twenty other cannons began to fire one after another. After the bombardment of the artillery on the far right was completed, this howitzer had cleaned the barrel, reloaded, and was in the hands of the artillery. The bombardment began again.
Sixty-seven artillery pieces of different calibers and types formed a barrage of fire. Countless artillery shells roared and hit the poor Jinlou Village wall. Among them were solid bullets, shotgun shells, grenades, and scorching hot shells. Incendiary bombs or other types of ammunition, but the most terrifying thing is shrapnel.
This latest type of artillery shell is rarely used in the Hong Army, because it can explode in the air, with dozens and hundreds of pieces of shrapnel flying in all directions within the entire killing range. For dense crowds, Such shells are simply a disaster.
The entire Jinlou Village was shaking in this rain of bullets. In just a few minutes, more than 200 shells had already made this strong village of the Li Gua Sect undergo a baptism of fire. Each shot had at least 72 shells. The pound of solid bullets directly bombarded the wall of Jinlou Village. In the next moment, the entire wall ceased to exist. In front of the artillery observers, it was just a gentle slope.
A shrapnel exploded above the dense crowd, taking away sixteen lives in an instant and causing twenty-seven serious injuries. Now the entire Jinlou Village is filled with the baptism of fire, even if you are hiding in the house. He couldn't escape the cannonballs flying from the sky.
From the experience of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Guanzhong War, we can know that no city wall can withstand the bombardment of red cannons, not to mention that the artillery of the Hong Army has evolved for two hundred years. The defense of Jinlou Village is not even as good as that of an ordinary county town. There are collapsed houses, ruins, and walls everywhere, there are fires everywhere, and there is thick smoke and screams everywhere.
But there were still many people who desperately jumped off the wall. He yelled loudly: "We are leaving the stronghold and surrendering, we are leaving the stronghold and surrendering!"
Only now did they know what Ren Zhu meant when he said "we're in". It wasn't the Hong Army's infantry units that launched an attack, but the artillery shells that came in.
And some old believers who are still obsessed with it shouted loudly: "Vacuum Hometown, Inanimate Mother!"
"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!"
"Continue shooting and reduce the entire Jinlou Village to rubble!" Feng Sixian gave the order coldly: "We have given them time!"
?? Mixed with screams, struggling sounds, and burning sounds. The entire Jinlou Village had turned into a sea of ??flames, not to mention the Hong Army artillery fired another 800 rounds of artillery shells at Jinlou Village before starting the aftermath operations.
After nearly an hour of continuous bombardment, there was not much resistance left in Jinlou Village, but the current Hong Army infantry, especially those soldiers of the Huanghuai Construction Corps adapted from the old Nian Army, were particularly ruthless. Any adult man found alive, regardless of his ability to resist. Often they were shot directly, and some troops simply stabbed them alive with bayonets in order to save bullets. Only the elderly, children, and women survived. Of course, some troops could also take in some male prisoners, but the entire combat operation can be described as "washing out the village."
"All the battles went very smoothly!" Ren Zhu reported the news: "700 people were captured, 800 were killed, and four of our troops were wounded."
Feng Sixian nodded with satisfaction and said: "In my military career, this battle can be said to be a model among models. Where are the bandit leaders Gao Yongqing and Gao Yao now?"
"According to the identification of the prisoners, they were all buried in our army's artillery shells, and more than 30 leaders including the second son of the Gaoyao family were killed!"
"Yes!" Feng Sixian ordered loudly: "According to the holy will of His Majesty's edict, continue to hunt for the leader of the thief. Don't let any one go!"
"Understood!" Ren Zhu immediately ordered: "I will let the cavalry go out to chase and kill, and I will never let go of a religious bandit!"
"This battle can be called a model battle in our military career!" Feng Sixian repeated this statement: "Yes, a model battle."
Afterwards, based on the number of prisoners and corpses in Jinlou Village, it was confirmed that at least 1,800 believers in Jinlou Village were either buried in the sea of ????fire, killed by artillery shells, or were killed in battles. Confirmed Feng Sixian's statement of "exemplary combat".
But some people have expressed great doubts about this. For example, the famous military history writer Bai Siwen believes: "The battle at Jinlouzhai is considered a model battle between Feng Sixian and the bandit army. The bandit army claimed that only four people were injured and a thousand were killed. Four hundred enemies, but according to the residents of Guide Prefecture and pre-war official documents, it can be proved that the so-called "Jinlouzhai Battle" was simply a massacre of peaceful residents. The so-called Gao Yongqing was a well-known charity man in Guide Prefecture. He has never had any disputes with anyone, and the Gao Yao family is a womanly family who dare not even kill a chicken. How can such a family gather a crowd to fight against the rebel army? According to what I got from the nephew and friend of the wife of a retired veteran cadre at the rebel army staff headquarters According to the exact information, the rebels carried out such a massacre solely because of Yao's prestige in the local area, so that for a long time no one dared to resist the lewd force of the rebels."
But Bai Siwen finally said the last sentence correctly. In the sea of ????fire in Jinlou Village, the exact news came from there: "The religious bandits in Ma Muji were frightened when they saw that Jinlou Village was breached by me. The cavalry has already approached me for negotiation!"
"Be careful and attentive!" Feng Sixian told him, "Ma Muji surrendered. No matter what role they played in the past, treat them well. We will only deal with the culprits!"
Ren Zhu did not expect that after Feng Sixian's thunder, he would be so gentle and gentle: "Director Feng, won't you give them a slap in the face?"
"Why do you want to show off your power?" Feng Sixian pointed at the burning Jinlou Village and said, "With this fire, I will not dare to rebel after twenty years of returning to Germany!"
The Nian Army has done many things to wash out the city and massacre the village, but not as decisively as Feng Sixian, so Ren Zhu believed it: "Yes, Guide Mansion will not dare to rebel for at least twenty years. In these twenty years, we can do enough Have a great career."
Just as he said this, someone came flying over from the other side: "Warlord, urgent call, the Russians have crossed Heilongjiang and are sending troops to the Northeast"
Feng Sixian¡¯s face suddenly turned ugly: ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s coming so fast, it¡¯s exactly the most critical time!¡±
*** £ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª
¡°These damn Russians!¡±
As one of the most elegant Western aristocrats in Shanghai, Earl Demons has always led the style of the entire Shanghai Concession. The clothing styles he wears will soon become popular throughout Shanghai, and Westerners in Shanghai often name them. Formal attire in the "Count de Monse style".
But now, Demons pulled away from the consul in a graceless manner and looked angrily at the latest report published in the newspaper. It was a report that Russia was massively deploying troops outside the customs and that a large number of troops had crossed Heilongjiang.
The Russians claim that they have unquestionable privileges over the entire Amur River region, and even the entire Mongolia region outside the customs. For this reason, they mobilized the entire country to support this war. Based on the battle report released by the Russians, they stated After crossing Heilongjiang with slight casualties, they rampaged across the entire Northeast region. The Qing army outside the Pass was no match for them at all. They were able to occupy the entire area outside the Pass in a short time.
This was really bad news. It even caused Demons to lose twelve thousand silver dollars in one morning. His eyes turned red: "Slap these grizzly bears hard, beat them hard!"
The entire government bond market is talking about this news. It turns out that the government bonds that have been rising have been falling continuously, and Demons' investment has been seriously damaged. However, the government bonds are more worried about the possible war that will break out next.
According to the battle communiqu¨¦ issued by Russia, in order to capture the entire area outside the customs, Russia invested 87,000 Russian soldiers and 18,000 Chinese volunteers. All of them are the best fighters, equipped with the most advanced firearms and supplies in the world. It is sufficient and fully capable of guarding Russia's natural territory - the entire Amur region, Mongolia and the entire outside area.
Everyone quickly estimated the strength of the Hong Army. The total strength of the Hong Army is now an astonishing figure that no one can figure out except Liu Chang himself. However, the Hong Army is distributed in more than a dozen provinces and can The mobile troops mobilized are only 30,000 to 40,000 troops at most, and no one knows whether these 30,000 to 40,000 troops can compete with Russia's strongest troops.
What's more critical is that the Hong Army now has multiple fronts. They must fight against the Spanish counterattack in the Philippines. Although according to the information obtained by everyone, the Hong Army has urgently transported two infantry battalions to the Philippines, but the original strength in the Philippines The force is only one infantry division, and it is very likely that the troops scheduled to deal with the Russians will need to be transferred to fight in the Philippines.
In the civil war, the Hong Army now has to face the Qing army with poor equipment but staggering numbers on the one hand, and on the other hand it has to deal with the various rebellions that have arisen in the occupied areas.Although most of these rebellions were extinguished in a short period of time, in some areas, the situation does not seem to have completely improved.
Now, with the addition of news that the Russians may join the war, the bond market has diverged day by day, causing serious losses for Demons, who holds a staggering amount of government bonds.
¡°Demons now wants to fight against the Russians.
It can¡¯t go on like this!
