Chapter 562 Night Attack (3)
In fact, when the two ace killers of helicopters and warriors attacked, the outcome of this battle was basically no suspense. After all, in this era, these two weapons are basically invincible. Of course, from another perspective, if there were no these two aces, it is hard to say what the outcome of this battle would be. This is not to say that without the helicopters and warriors, the People's Army would definitely lose, but it is certain that even if the People's Army can repair and win in the end, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.
Since you are sure to win now, the next step is to figure out the situation of the enemy. After all, being able to have such a large number of rifles, artillery and other standard weapons is definitely not something that ordinary landlords can be equipped with. Therefore, you must figure out who your enemy is and not be confused. This requires more captives to be captured in order to ask more things from the captives.
After giving the order to fight back in full, Liu Qinglin then ordered the time travelers, local staff, and medical staff to come out of the house to rescue the wounded in the village, maintain order, and appease the villagers. Because although the enemy's shelling time was not long, it still caused considerable damage to the village. There were many rooms hit, and some houses had burned, causing casualties to some villagers, and also caused some panic.
In fact, even the Liu family's house could not be spared during the battle. A total of 9 shells were hit, 5 of which were hit on the courtyard wall, two shells fell into the yard, and two shells penetrated the roof and fell into the house. Fortunately, they were all empty houses. Therefore, although the explosion caused some time travelers and local staff to be injured, they were not in danger of life. However, the People's Army soldiers suffered some casualties. Of course, the detailed loss situation still needs to be counted in detail. Now that the situation of the battle has been decided, the mess must be cleaned up as soon as possible and the order of the village cannot be restored.
After the garrisons of the other three villages launched an attack, the enemy who was feinted was no match for no reason. They were beaten to flee in a panic as soon as they were in contact, and they almost collapsed. The entire battle was basically over for only more than an hour, and they entered the stage of sheltering prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. In fact, except for Shangcun, the other three villages were not hit hard, and the villagers were just frightened. Now that the battle was over, they all breathed a sigh of relief, so some bold people opened the doors and went out to watch the fun.
Wang Sheng also ordered the villagers to come out and assist the People's Army in cleaning up the battlefield. Gao Jun led the female traveler, local staff and medical staff to treat the wounded, not only to treat their own people, but also to treat the injured prisoners.
Just as Wang Sheng and others were busy commanding the personnel to clean up the mess, a soldier came to Wang Sheng and said, "Director Wang, our battalion commander, please come over, just outside the village."
Wang Sheng nodded, knowing that there must be something important to Liu Qinglin looking for him at this time, so he immediately found Gao Jun and asked her to take charge of the village's finishing and aftermath on his behalf. Then he followed the soldier to the outside of the village. There was a large open space, with the lights of the two warriors on all the headlights, and several large fires were lit, which made the area around a hundred meters clear. The prisoners captured in this battle sat down around these fires, and several soldiers guarded with guns. On the other side, the bodies of the dead enemy were placed.
When Wang Shengdao met Liu Qinglin, he said: "Captain Liu, what's the matter with me?"
Liu Qinglin pointed to a fire and said, "Director Wang, look at these prisoners." He said to the warrior guarding the prisoners, "Pull one up."
The soldier reached out and grabbed a captive's braid and sternly said, "Get up, stand up."
The prisoner stood up crookedly, and Wang Sheng could see clearly that the prisoner was wearing a gray-blue military uniform, with a double-breasted lapel, a middle row of twisted buttons, slim-fit narrow sleeves, a wide belt on the waist, and a high-tube leather boots on his feet. He was completely a modern military uniform, but judging from his appearance and the long braid behind his head, he was definitely a Chinese in this era.
It has been almost a year since I came to this time and space. Wang Sheng, the army of the Qing court, has also seen some. It is basically the same as the styles in old time and space films and TV shows, and is a typical costume style. Therefore, the style of the prisoner's costume also surprised Wang Sheng. What kind of army is this?
At this time, Liu Qinglin took another rifle and handed it to Wang Sheng, saying, "This is the rifle they used seized."
Wang Sheng took the gun in his hand and felt familiar, like the Hanyang-made Type 88 rifle equipped by the People's Army. Although Wang Sheng is not a military enthusiast, he often deals with the army. Under the influence of his eyes, he is naturally very familiar with the major rifles currently used by the People's Army. Therefore, he hurriedly looked at the bolt and the three words "Hanyang-made" were engraved. Wang Sheng knew that except for the People's Army, there were only the Qing army, but when did the Qing army get avant-garde and change into modern military uniforms.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Wang Sheng's mind, he looked at Liu Qinglin and said, "Is it the Beiyang New Army?"
Liu Qinglin nodded and said, "They have admitted that they are the Beiyang New Army, and the artillery that attacks us, and the artillery are all from the Beiyang New Army." After a pause, he said, "The artillery is all produced by Krupp."
Wang Sheng was also surprised. He had made up for the history of this era and military knowledge. He knew that the Beiyang New Army was a new army after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. In order to strengthen the strength of the 6th Army, the Qing government first sent Hu Yi to form the "Dingwu Army" at the Tianjin Station, and later changed Yuan Shikai to supervise and train, and completely used Western military system, training and clothing equipment. Everything was in accordance with the German and Japanese system, and hired foreigners mainly to form a brand new army. In addition to the rifles used, the Hanyang-made Type 88-type artillery, the artillery was basically purchased by the German Krupp Company.
The completion of the Beiyang New Army was the beginning of the modernization of the 6th Army in China and a major event at the end. Its influence was far beyond the scope of the military, which not only laid the foundation for Yuan Shikai to be the leader of the Beiyang warlords, but also to call for wind and rain in the Chinese political arena in the future. In the next 2 or 30 years of the old time and space, it will have a huge impact on the development of China's history.
More importantly, Yuan Shikai is now serving as the governor of Shandong, and all the Beiyang New Army have moved to Shandong with him, of course, mainly stationed in the Jinan area. It is just because the headquarters of the Shandong Governor was located in Jinan, and the Jiaoao area is already a sphere of influence in Germany, so Yuan Shikai naturally did not dare to station the army in this area. Therefore, until now, the Crossing Group and the Beiyang New Army have not had direct contact.
But this time when the attack on Menbu Village was actually involved, the situation was complicated. Wang Sheng looked at the Beiyang New Army soldiers sitting by the fire. There were about 30 people. Then look at the left and right. There were more prisoners on each other than the Beiyang New Army, and their clothes were very different from that of the Beiyang New Army. So he asked again: "What about these people? Who are they?"
Liu Qinglin said: "I haven't had time to ask yet, but look at their appearance, they don't look like the Beiyang New Army." He paused and said: "Because I saw that their military uniforms were unique, I asked, but I didn't have time to ask other prisoners. However, there were about hundreds of prisoners in this kind of military uniform, and there were about hundreds of prisoners."
After hearing this, Wang Sheng was a little confused. He could only vaguely feel that something must be happening. If you want to know the details, you can only interrogate the prisoners. Of course, Liu Qinglin has no time to interrogate the prisoners now. After all, the battle has just ended, and Liu Qinglin has many things to deal with, so naturally he did not have time to interrogate the prisoners. He just asked when he saw that the clothing and weapons of the Beiyang New Army were too alternative.
But Wang Sheng thought that he could not wait any longer now, and the sooner he knew the details, the better, so he said: "Captain Liu, I want to interrogate the prisoners first. Can you arrange it?"
Liu Qinglin thought for a while and said, "If it were here, it would be fine."
Wang Shengdao: "It's okay to be here, but please arrange a few people to help me."
So Liu Qinglin pulled out a squad from his battalion guard platoon and sent him to interrogate the prisoners. He then took care of other matters.
By dawn, the post-war cleanup work was basically completed. In this battle, a total of 256 enemies were killed and 329 prisoners were captured, including 71 new Beiyang soldiers and 35 prisoners. In addition, 67 Hanyang-made 88-type rifles, 53 other local muskets, and more than 1,000 cold weapons such as swords and guns were seized. 12 soldiers were killed in the People's Army, and another 57 soldiers were injured, but the injuries were not serious. None of the time travelers were injured, and only 12 were injured.
The staff of the other three villages did not suffer any losses, only the upper village suffered serious losses. A total of 23 houses were hit by shells, 7 of which were basically destroyed, and the remaining 16 houses were also damaged to varying degrees. Another 26 people died in the shelling, 63 were injured, 16 were seriously injured, and it took a long time to recover. There are still 5 people who are not in danger of being detached so far.
After cleaning up the village losses, Wang Sheng had not come back yet. So Gao Jun recruited all the villagers on behalf of the Land Reformers Association and made a speech. This war was a war in which a group of reactionary landlords attempted to destroy land reform, continue to occupy land, bully and exploit farmers, and to maintain their corrupt lives forever. However, such a war is doomed to fail, because the powerful People's Army can completely crush the crazy counterattack of the reactionary landlord group against the Land Reformers Association. The results of yesterday's battle also proved this, so there is no need to be afraid at all. If the reactionary landlord group dares to come again, what awaits them will be a more tragic failure.
