Chapter 238 Attacked (Part 2)

The firefight between the two sides was not long, less than 10 minutes before and after, but the other party was completely suppressed by the People's Army and could not raise his head. Moreover, 7 or 8 people were shot, either dead or injured.

The other party did not expect that the People's Army's firepower was so strong. At this time, they dared to persevere and immediately retreated one after another. On the way to retreat, 3 or 4 people were killed by the People's Army.

However, there was no injury on the People's Army, and there was not even any injured person, because the other party was suppressed by the People's Army just now and there was almost no power to fight back. However, Luo Yue did not chase him hard, but ordered the soldiers to clear the battlefield and check the other party's remaining items.

Luo Yue himself returned to the hill and told Lu Fushan about the battle just now. After hearing this, the few people from the geological team were relieved, and at the same time they all thanked Luo Yue.

After making some polite decisions, Luo Yue said: "Although this group of people has been defeated by us, they may recruit people and make a comeback. If you still have to continue surveying, I will send people back to mobilize troops and strengthen the vigilance of this area. If you are not in such a hurry to survey, it is best to wait a few days first and see the situation."

Lu Fushan thought about it and looked at the other members of the team. They were still scared. To be honest, even Lu Fushan was quite scared at this time, so Lu Fushan said, "Battleman Luo, let me see this. We will leave here tomorrow and head south. We will first go to other areas of Jiaozhou Bay. It will take about 4 or 5 days, and then come back here to see the situation here before we can indeed investigate the plan."

Luo Yue nodded. Lu Fushan's arrangement was indeed the most appropriate, because in 4 or 5 days, the situation here will have a result. So he said, "Okay, let's make arrangements like this. I will send someone to Hongshiya Town tomorrow morning."

Lu Fushan thanked Luo Yue again, and immediately went over to greet the other four people, packed up their things, and prepared to go back.

At this time, the battlefield had been cleaned up. A total of 12 people were killed and 2 were captured in this battle. It turned out that these two people were seriously injured, so they were left behind by their companions, and they became prisoners of the People's Army. In addition, 15 rifles were picked up by the opponent.

When I got the opponent's rifle, I found that it turned out to be a German Mauser 1871 rifle. This type of rifle is famous and is the pioneering work of Mauser rifle. It became famous for its outstanding performance in the Franco-Prussian War. Therefore, after the Franco-Prussian War, it became the standard rifle of the German team. However, the Mauser 1871 rifle is a single-shot rifle. Later, the Mauser brothers improved on this type of rifle and added an ammunition cabin under the barrel, which was improved into a continuous rifle. In 1884, it was assembled as the German army and named it the Mauser 1871/84 rifle.

The large number of Mauser 1871 rifles equipped by the German army had a service life of less than 10 years, so Germany sold large quantities to Asian, African and Latin America countries, and the Qing court purchased a large number of Mauser 1871 rifles. Around 1890, the Qing court also began to change the rifles in succession, so the previously equipped Mauser 1871 rifles were gradually eliminated and transferred to local armed forces, or bought them for local powerful forces, and some of them fell into the hands of local bandits.

But for the current time travelers, this type of rifle is basically only available for collection value. After all, all the rifles of the time travelers are continuous rifles, so Luo Yue only ordered the soldiers to immediately treat the wounded and bury the dead. He came to Li Zhuangyong and others who were protected by the People's Army.

After the battle, someone monitored Li Zhuangyong and others, and Jiang Haidong always led them to tell them about his participation in the People's Army and a series of achievements of the People's Army. Although Jiang Haidong had not joined the People's Army for a long time, he witnessed the People's Army's defeat of the German army with his own eyes. Moreover, the military discipline and style of the People's Army were completely different from that of the Qing army. In addition, he received political education in the past few days, so he basically gave up his will in the People's Army and felt that he had a future in the People's Army. Now that he saw his brothers who had been having a Boxer Rebellion together in the past, he naturally hoped to bring them all into the People's Army.

Li Zhuangyong and others heard some rumors about overseas Chinese, but these rumors were mixed, and they were too bizarre. Li Zhuangyong and others did not care about this, so no one paid attention to it, but they did not expect to encounter overseas Chinese troops here. Although Li Zhuangyong had never seen the battle between overseas Chinese and Germans, the battle just now happened in front of him. Only a dozen people in the People's Army actually defeated the more than 20 people who chased them. At least the Boxer Rebellion did not have such strong combat power in the past.

At this time, Luo Yue came over, and Jiang Haidong hurriedly introduced to them, saying, "This is our battalion commander, you can call him Battalion Commander Luo or Commander Luo."

After hearing this, Li Zhuangyong knelt in front of Luo Yue with a "bang" sound and said, "Battleman Luo, you saved our brother's lives. I will never thank you for your kindness. In the future, as long as the Battalion Commander Luo has any place to send, I, Big Li, will definitely frown."

Luo Yue helped them up and said, "Get up quickly, I won't play this trick here."

Jiang Haidong also said on the side: "Yes, Brother Li, get up quickly. I didn't tell you just now. In our People's Army, we never kneel down. Just see the leader and salute you."

When Li Zhuangyong stood up, Luo Yue asked again: "What happened just now? Who are they? Why are they chasing you? Please tell me in detail."

Jiang Haidong hurriedly said, "Brother Li, just tell Battalion Commander Luo honestly."

It turned out that Li Zhuangyong's Boxer Rebellion was older than Jiang Haidong. He was from Linqing, Shandong and was the younger brother of Zhao Sanduo, one of the earliest founders of the Boxer Rebellion. Zhao Sanduo was originally the head of Shandong Meihuaquan. Because he participated in the Liyuantun teaching plan, Zhao Sanduo was worried that he would implicate his master's sect, so he led a group of brothers to leave the plum blossom boxing and establish the Yihequan. Li Zhuangyong followed Zhao Sanduo at that time and ranked seventh among Zhao Sanduo's brothers. Later, Zhao Sanduo accepted his younger brothers and later changed the Yihequan to the Boxer Rebellion (another saying is that Shandong Governor Yu Min ordered the Yihequan to be changed to the Boxer Rebellion).

Li Zhuangyong is the direct disciple of Zhao Sanduo, and is called the Seventh Senior Brother. Because he is tall and big, he is nicknamed Li Dazi. When Zhu Hongdeng was fighting against the officers and soldiers in Pingyuan County, Zhao Sanduo sent Li Zhuangyong to lead more than 200 regiments to support him, so he met Jiang Haidong. Later, the various departments of the Boxer Regiment in Shandong echoed each other and had many connections with each other.

Later, after Yuan Shikai took office as the Shandong Prefecture, he suppressed the Boxer Rebellion with all his strength and successively captured and killed many leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, which caused the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong to fall. Some of the remaining Boxer Rebellion hid back to their hometowns, while others turned to Hebei for activities. Li Zhuangyong followed Zhao Sanduo and led a group of people to enter Hebei for activities. Zhao Sanduo developed in southern Hebei and ordered Li Zhuangyong to go north and cooperated with Zhang Decheng, who was known as the world's first regiment at the time.

In June 1900, Li Zhuangyong entered Beijing with Zhang Decheng. Since he was also considered an old man of the Boxer Rebellion, he was highly valued by Zhang Decheng and asked him to blame him for his reproach.

From May to July 1900, it was the peak of the Boxer Rebellion, and the leader of the delegation was even invited by Empress Dowager Cixi.

Ordinary regiments could run rampant on the streets of Beijing, and the princes and nobles were respectful to them. As a senior brother at the entrance of the world, Li Zhuangyong also spent the most glorious time in his life. However, the good times did not last long. In July 1900, Li Zhuangyong participated in the Battle of Tianjin with Zhang Decheng. As a result, the Boxer Regiment was defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance and Tianjin was lost. Li Zhuangyong escaped from the battlefield and fled to Zaoqiang County to join Zhao Sanduo.

Zhao Sanduo's situation in Hebei was not good, so he wanted to return to Shandong to develop, so he sent Li Zhuangyong to Shandong first to recruit Yu Zhong. However, after Li Zhuangyong returned to Shandong, he found that the situation had changed. Because Yuan Shikai adopted a high-pressure policy towards the Boxer Rebellion, he almost did not give Boxer Rebellion room for development. Moreover, the drought in Shandong has been greatly alleviated and people are determined. Therefore, Li Zhuangyong did not dare to move around Jinan, which was controlled by the Qing court, and came to Jiaoao area far away from Jili to develop the group. However, although Li Zhuangyong ran for two or three months, he only recruited 5,600 people. In the past, the era of responses, it no longer existed, including many old brothers from the past, and were reluctant to come out to make trouble.

Seeing the unfavorable development in Shandong, Li Zhuangyong was also very anxious, so he decided to do a few major things to inspire people. Zeng Qiang's own abilities, so Li Zhuangyong targeted Wangjiasai. Because Wangjiazhai is quite famous in this area, and what is more important is that Wangjiazhai has a great business and abundant storage. After taking over Wangjiazhai, he can obtain a large amount of food and money to attract more people to join the Boxer Rebellion.

So last night, Li Zhuangyong struggled with more than 600 people and launched an attack on Wangjiazhai. Knowing that Wangjiazhai was well warded, he not only built a village wall, but also trained a group of village heads, including a musket team.

As a result, Li Zhuangyong led the Boxer Regiment with only cold weapons to launch a strong attack on Wangjiazhai Company, which was hit by the musket team. Every attack ended ineffective, and caused heavy losses to the Boxer Regiment. Originally, the Boxer Regiment was not very strong, and Bi Jing's Boxer Regiment was actually rebelled. Therefore, after a long period of time, the Boxer Regiment was even more discouraged. By the early morning, his energy was already declining, and even Li Zhuangyong could not be called effective.
