After negotiations between Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng, it was decided to hand over the combat mission of attacking Wangjiazhai to the first battalion. "≤top"≤point"≤small"≤say,...

Let the strongest battalion of the People's Army fight a militia-style local armed forces, of course, killing chickens, but Wangjiazhai is closest to Luo Yue's defense zone, and the reconnaissance mission is mainly completed by the soldiers of the first battalion, so this task is only the most suitable. At the same time, the command center also put forward three requirements to the first battalion: First, the losses are the smallest and the results are the greatest; second, the battle is quick and the decision must not be dragged down; third, the military discipline is respected and there is no offense.

However, considering that the first battalion is the largest defense zone, and the first battalion has not yet been fully charged, it is indeed difficult to attack Wangjiazhai again. In addition, after capturing Wangjiazhai, it is impossible to ignore it. After all, the land system pilot is still required, so the Qingdao Command decided to assign an artillery platoon to the first battalion and equipped three Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire cannons. After capturing Wangjiazhai, militias can be organized on the spot and held the task of guarding Wangjiazhai. Of course, the militias are also managed by the first battalion. In addition, the command will also organize a medical team and a working group. After the battle is over, they will immediately arrive at Wangjiazhai to assist the first battalion in handling the follow-up work.

After receiving the order from Qingdao Command, although the troops in the defense zone are weak now, Luo Yue still decided to draw two platoons from each of the three subordinate companies, and the guard platoons of the battalion headquarters participated in the battle, because although they were killing chickens, they had to use a magnificent knife and Yan to break through Wangjiazhai with an overwhelming absolute advantage. Although in this way, there will be only one platoon left in each defense zone, and the defense power will be greatly weakened, as long as the battle is ended as soon as possible, at least one platoon will come back in each defense zone in one or two days, so this is actually the least risky plan.

After the troops were determined, the next step was to formulate tactics, which had overwhelming advantages over the People's Army. Therefore, Luo Yue decided to set the main attack direction at the south gate of Wangjiazhai, and the troops dispatched were the guard platoon of the battalion headquarters, one combat platoon and artillery platoon. In the east and west, one platoon was set up as a coordinated force. This battle strives to wipe out the forces of Wangjiazhai, and no one could be let go. Among the remaining two platoons, one platoon was used as a mobile force to support the battlefield at any time, while the other platoon was responsible for defending logistics and transportation needs, as well as the tasks of defending medical teams and working groups.

Li Zhuangyong and his dozen Boxer brothers have lived in Yinghai Town in the past two days, following the People's Army to carry out some basic training and also do some physical work. During this operation, General Luo Yue also brought them to the artillery platoon and let them operate with the artillery platoon. Because the artillery platoon had to carry more things than other troops.

On that night, all the troops participating in the battle rushed to Yinghai Town to gather. At 5 a.m. the next day, before dawn, Luo Yue lined up in front of the camp. He announced the mission plan for this battle in public, and also mentioned Wang's father's evil deeds in the local area, indicating that the People's Army's operation was to eliminate harm for the people, not to rob and raid the house.

The soldiers of the People's Army were basically from poor people, and in this era, there were landlords and bullies. Every soldier had encountered them, but they were only of their own magnitude. Therefore, these evil deeds of the Wang family father and son did arouse the righteous indignation of the soldiers. The enthusiasm of the entire army was also aroused at once. In the past, these soldiers were just peasants without power. Although they were angry with these landlords and bullies, they were powerless. But now they were different. They had guns in their hands and large troops, so of course they could eliminate these disasters.

Li Zhuangyong and others were even more excited. They gathered more than 600 people to attack Wangjiazhai, but they were beaten to the point where only more than 10 people were left. Now that the People's Army is going to attack Wangjiazhai, they can also breathe this breath. However, Li Zhuangyong was also a little suspicious. Can these more than 200 people be able to capture Wangjiazhai?

At the same time, Luo Yue emphasized three disciplines: after the capture of Wangjia Village, all the items in the village are spoils, no one can damage them, nor can they collect them privately; second, except for the enemies who resist stubbornly, no innocent people are allowed to be killed, and no infringement on ordinary residents in Wangjia Village. Without the consent of the superior, it is strictly prohibited to enter the people's homes, and it is also strictly prohibited to take a needle and a thread from the people's homes; third, the family of the Wang family, who are the elderly, weak, women and children, are not allowed to be harmed if they do not resist. Once the supervision is repeated, the command will decide to deal with them. Violating these three disciplines will inevitably be subject to strict punishment.

Most of the soldiers of the People's Army have been in the army for nearly three months. In addition to training, they hear the most about discipline. They have also seen many examples of being punished for violating discipline. Therefore, they have repeatedly emphasized discipline before setting off, and there is no discomfort.

Only Li Zhuangyong and more than a dozen people came for two or three days. Although Jiang Haidong had heard that the People's Army had strict military discipline, he was still half-believing and half-doubted, but he was thinking in his heart that there was such a good army, but after all, they were just a newcomer, so they have been very honest in the past few days.

After hearing Luo Yue's emphasis on military discipline, Li Zhuangyong felt a little dissatisfied. The first one is okay. It is probably because officials should take the big head and then give it to the soldiers below after they are finished. The second one has some problems. Helping the people eliminate bullies who bully them, and using anything from their family is nothing to do. It is too strict. The third one is even nonsense. If the Wang family is destroyed and protecting his family, it should be killed. Is it so difficult to wait for them to take revenge? Of course, if it is a young woman, you don't have to kill them so quickly, so you can play first. When Li Zhuangyong was in the Boxer Rebellion, he did such a thing several times. So are these overseas Chinese really stupid or have other intentions?

Just as Li Zhuangyong was thinking about it, the teams had already set off one after another, because Li Zhuangyong and his group followed the artillery platoon and drove to the end, so they had not moved yet. At this time, Jiang Haidong rushed over, and Li Zhuangyong hurriedly met him and said, "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Haidong said: "Brother Li, I am going to go with the troops, but in one sentence I would like to remind you that the discipline announced by the battalion commander just now should not be used as a joke. When I was in Qingdao, something happened. A few people drank a few drinks, but they smashed a tavern and killed a guy in the tavern. As a result, the leaders were furious and shot three people in public and fired two of them. It would be impossible for anyone to plead, so don't do anything, I can't save you at that time."

Li Zhuangyong nodded and said, "Brother Jiang, I understand. It's rare that you can remind us, don't worry, we won't make any mistakes."

Jiang Haidong said: "That's good, I'll leave first, you guys do it well." After that, Jiang Haidong turned around and left hurriedly.

A Boxer came to Li Zhuangyong and said, "Brother, is the military discipline of the People's Army really so strict? If you smash a tavern and kill a guy, you will have to kill three people."

Another group member said, "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Then why are we still stay here? Why don't we go and change the place to make a group."

Li Zhuangyong said: "Don't be anxious first. Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until Wangjiazhai is captured before leaving. Let's go over and see how many people in the People's Army can observe these military disciplines. But you should be honest and wait until you see what others do, so don't let others catch them first."

When the others heard this, they nodded and said yes.

Because he was lightly equipped, the march was very fast. He walked less than two hours and arrived at Wangjiazhai at less than seven o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the sky was basically bright, but most of the residents of Wangjiazhai were still sleeping. In the market outside Nanzhai, no shop was opened. Luo Yue immediately ordered a squad of soldiers to guard the market and prohibit residents from going out. There were only a dozen shops in the market, and a squad of the People's Army had 12 people, which was more than enough to guard the market.

Luo Yue also received reports from other troops, and all troops had entered the predetermined position. Therefore, Luo Yue immediately ordered the artillery platoon to push three Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire cannons to the front of the formation and bombard the wall of Wangjiazhai.

More than ten minutes later, the three Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire guns were all ready, so Luo Yue immediately ordered the fire.

The Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire gun is currently equipped with a standard field gun by the German army. In this era, the army of all countries advocated the principle of offensive. The most typical representative is the French 1897 75mm field gun. Although these guns are not very powerful, they are light and flexible, which is conducive to rapid arrangement. Due to the adoption of new types of pipe retardation and bolt technology, the firing rate is extremely fast and simple to operate. Ordinary novices can get started quickly. They are mainly used to shoot near enemy positions on the battlefield, in order to pour the most firepower into the enemy positions in the shortest time to reflect the principle of active attack.

Although the overall performance of the Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire gun is inferior to that of the legal 1897 75mm field gun, it also meets the characteristics of the small and medium-caliber rapid-fire gun. The total weight is only 1.73 tons, the projectile weighs 6.85kg, and the theoretical rate of fire can reach 20 rounds per minute.

These artillery were naturally obtained from the German fleet. However, because the People's Army's artillery is a novice, it can only reach an average of about 12 rounds per minute in daily training, and there is another dismantling on the battlefield. In the battle against Qingdao, the Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire cannon used by the People's Army was 7.28 rounds per minute.

But for Wangjiazhai, this is a magical artifact that is against the sky. Three cannons line up and launched continuous bombardment on the earth wall. In just 10 minutes, more than 200 shells were fired.

Although the power of the Krupp 1896 77mm rapid-fire gun is not very powerful, it cannot withstand many shells fired in a short period of time, and the wall of Wangjiazhai is only made of earth. Therefore, after one round of artillery attack, several large gaps were blasted into the wall.
