Chapter 411 Beijing Raiders (7)

So Luo Yue pushed Wu Xuan away, took two steps forward, and shouted: "Friends, don't be afraid. We are the People's Army, the Chinese army, specializing in fighting foreigners and the Eight-Nation Alliance. We will never bully you like the Eight-Nation Alliance, so don't worry."

After these words, the crowd, who had a numb expression just now, suddenly felt a little moved. Many people's faces finally changed, and there was some brightness in their eyes.

When Luo Yue saw this, he knew that these words had worked, so he said again: "We have all eliminated the Eight-Nation Alliance in Tianjin, Weihaiwei, and Qingdao. Now we are going to attack Beijing and eliminate the Eight-Nation Alliance in Beijing. So you don't have to worry, we will let you go back in a few days."

At this time, some exclamations were heard in the crowd, but most people still had a half-believing and half-doubted look on their faces, but this was much better than the numb and walking corpse-like appearance just now.

Luo Yue turned around and ordered the guards and said, "It seems that they have never eaten enough. They cook some porridge for them first, and make some bacon, let them have a meal, and give each of them a cotton coat."

After Luo Yue finished speaking, some people in the crowd sobbed. At first, they were only one or two people, but later they gradually spread out. Most people couldn't help crying. Of course, many people still looked cold and indifferent. Luo Yue also knew that it was impossible to move everyone with just one or two words, so they could only take it slowly.

At this time, Wu Xuan jumped out again and said loudly: "Why are you crying? You are tolerant and kind, and you will give you a full meal. This is your great blessing. Why do you cry? It will add to your worries..."

Before he could finish his words, Luo Yueji couldn't help but knocked out Wu Xuan and said, "Enough, I have something to ask you?"

Wu Xuan hurriedly bent down again and said, "If you have anything to ask, the villain will report the truth."

Luo Yue said coldly: "Did you have any troubles in helping the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese army? Helping the Tiger, helping the Evil, and oppressing good things? Do you have to explain it to you?"

Wu Xuan's face changed drastically and he said, "Little Man...Little Man..." He stuttered for a moment and couldn't answer.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd: "He is an accomplice of the Eight-Nation Alliance, don't let him go." Someone immediately agreed and said: "Yes, he is the worst. He helps the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese army bully people."

Wu Xuan quickly waved his hand and shook his head, and said repeatedly: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, I'm so wronged..."

But before he could finish his words, he was suppressed by the condemnation voices of the crowd. It was basically revealed that Wu Xuan assisted the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese army did evil. Wu Xuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, suddenly jumped up, and shouted: "You are very brave. Don't think that you can give me a few bites of food and you can make a fuss. Be careful, you don't have the best results."

However, before Wu Xuan finished speaking, he felt that he had been hit hard on his back, and only hit him staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, his hands and shoulders were grabbed by others, twisted his back behind him, and he was knocked to the ground and could not get up. It turned out that Luo Yue couldn't bear to see Wu Xuan's face and ordered the guards to arrest Wu Xuan.

And then everyone didn't say anything for a moment, just looking at the life in front of them. Luo Yuecai said: "Friends, don't be afraid. We will not wrongly a good person, but we will not let a bad person go. If he really helped the Eight-Nation Alliance do bad things, we will never let him go. But Yan said one by one, and told the matter carefully."

Everyone hesitated for a while, and finally someone stood up to expose Wu Xuan's evil deeds. With the first one, there was naturally a second one, and a few of them knew Wu Xuan's background.

It turned out that Wu Xuan was an unemployed vagrant from Chengxiaowai, Beijing. He relied on cheating and helped him make a living by liberating oil. He was baptized in a church. In fact, he wanted to rely on foreign powers to do evil. Later, the church found that he was not religious at all, so he removed him from the church. Wu Xuan was resentful. During the Boxer Rebellion, Wu Xuan attracted the Boxer Rebellion, burned the church, killed the priest, more than ten religious people, and robbed several church silverware. He also became a small leader in the Boxer Rebellion and played a prestige in Beijing for a few days. However, Wu Xuan was more careful and did not destroy his baptism certificate.

Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, Wu Xuan believed that he had been baptized as a religious citizen, and presented a certificate of baptism and a sterling silver cross he stole, he defected to the Eight-Nation Alliance. He also led the Eight-Nation Alliance to destroy the two small halls of the Boxer Regiment. Moreover, he was quite good at dealing with things and was a local, familiar with the situation in Beijing, so he was highly valued by the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, Wu Xuan was also afraid that the incident of his Boxer Regiment would be exposed, so he dared not be too arrogant.

After the failure of the Tianjin Battle, the Eight-Nation Alliance was stationed in Tongzhou. Wu Xuan took the initiative to ask for help from Tongzhou, mainly to leave Beijing. No one knew his background. Sure enough, after arriving in Tongzhou, Wu Xuan became brave and relied on the power of the Eight-Nation Alliance to act as a blessing. Later, most of the coalition forces withdrew from Beijing, but Wu Xuan still stayed in Tongzhou, helping the Japanese army manage the Chinese people captured as coolies, and coercing women to provide entertainment for the Japanese army. He did a lot of bad things. He died directly or indirectly at the hands of Wu Xuan, at least 5 or 6 lives.

Due to Wu Xuan's different identities, he has also heard a lot of stories about overseas Chinese. However, after the time travelers captured Tongzhou, Wu Xuan was not panicked at all. His previous experience of repeatedly flirting with Qin and Chu made Wu Xuan very confident and firmly believed that he could make peace with overseas Chinese, just like before, he could make peace with both in churches, Boxers, and Eight-Nation Alliance. Then I know that this time it was different.

Of course, a considerable number of these situations were things that only happened when interrogating Wu Xuan later. At the same time, Wu Xuan also learned a lot about the Eight-Nation Alliance. Since Wu Xuan followed the Eight-Nation Alliance for a long time, although he could not get in touch with the Eight-Nation Alliance secrets, he could not hide ordinary things from him. From some daily things, together with seized documents, and interrogating Japanese prisoners and prisoners, time travelers can still basically understand the situation of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At this time, both trains drove into Tongzhou Railway Station. Three battalion commanders, Luo Yue, Ran Runfeng and Liu Qinglin, came to the train and reported the results of the battle to the two frontline commanders Chu Yaping.

In this battle, a total of 352 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, 61 prisoners were captured, 218 Japanese 3O rifles and more than 3 ooo bullets were seized. There were several other food, medicines and supplies, as well as 26 military horses, 42 mules and donkeys, and 32 cars. There were 117 soldiers killed in the People's Army, and 189 more were injured. The combat personnel were reduced by 3 ooo, of which about 40 soldiers were seriously injured and could not participate in the battle in a short period of time. The majority of the injured and killed soldiers were caused by the Japanese bayonets. Therefore, it can be seen that the People's Army's bayonet tactics still have considerable shortcomings and require strengthening training.

In addition to bayonet battles, there is another unusual situation in the results, that is, the number of bullets seized is too small, which is completely disproportionate to the number of rifles seized. On average, there are only more than 10 bullets per rifle. Considering that the total number of Japanese soldiers killed and captured more than 40 people, the average bullets per person are less than 10. Moreover, the main combat mode of this battle is mainly hand-to-hand combat, and no ammunition was consumed. Therefore, it is obviously unreasonable to seize only 30 bullets. There is no ammunition depot of the Japanese army at Tongzhou Railway Station. Later, after interrogating Japanese prisoners, Wu Xuan, and looking up the seized documents, we found that the entire Eight-Nation Alliance was in a situation of lack of ammunition.

After discussing with the three battalion commanders, Chu Yaping and *** believed that the news was basically reliable, so they immediately reported to the command center in the rear.

In fact, the news of the capture of Tongzhou Railway Station was reported to the rear command center as soon as possible. Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun and others were very happy after receiving the news, because this was not only the first battle to attack Beijing, but also the Shanghai negotiations had just been declared broken yesterday. The time travelers responded to the various countries and the Qing courts with the results of capturing Tongzhou and threatening Beijing. This was more useful than anything else, and it also showed the attitude of the time travelers. It was useless to reach any agreement without the negotiations involving the time travelers. The Military Commission immediately ordered the second regiment and the fifth regiment to be dispatched immediately. On the one hand, they entered Tongzhou County to completely control the Tongzhou area, and also strengthened the front line.

On the next day, the [New China News] founded by Time Traveler, an extra special issue was released to all participants in Tianjin. Although the founding of the [China News] was not long, it has had a great influence in Tianjin. On the one hand, this is a newspaper founded by Time Traveler, and it is also the only newspaper founded by Chinese in Tianjin, although it is overseas Chinese.

It turned out that during the Reform Movement of 1898, Yan Fu and other reformists founded [Guowenbao] in Tianjin. This was the earliest newspaper founded by Chinese people in Tianjin, and promoted public opinion for the Reform Movement. After the Reform Movement of 1898, the Qing government investigated and dealt with, and was forced to stop publishing in December 1898. Later, [Guowenbao] was sold to the Japanese and was re-issued. However, with the change of the Gengzi, [Guowenbao] was completely suspended.

The most influential newspapers in Tianjin are now founded by the UK [Beijing-Tianjin Times] and the former Tianjin Customs Taxation Department [China Times]. However, these two newspapers are in full English versions. After the time traveler occupied Tianjin, both newspapers were also discontinued. Therefore, the time traveler founded by the [New China News] is not only the only newspaper founded by the Chinese in Tianjin, but also the only newspaper in Tianjin at present.
