Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 648 Defeat
The 2000 men and horses led by Chen Renjie walked three or four miles away, and suddenly the roadside shook. The engineering team of the Fubo Army deployed a large number of Claymore landmines made of pig iron with pull-flap tubes on both sides of the post road in the middle of the night. As soon as Renjie's front team entered the minefield, they were blown apart by the mines. Before Chen Renjie could gather the team, he saw a team of thieves with red flags pressing over from the front like a wall. Qi Fa, most of his men are mobs, if he can calmly set up an formation to attack the stronghold, there is still something to be done, but he will not be able to sustain the sudden encounter, and immediately flees to Chengmai in defeat.Chen Renjie and the few troops left by Tang Yunwen desperately intercepted them, hoping to reorganize the team, but they couldn't stop them in the end, and were surrounded by the defeated soldiers and fled all the way down.

The more than 1 people who followed were all defeated troops a few days ago, and they had already become frightened birds. The sound of artillery in front and the collapse of the front team immediately caused confusion among them.At this time, the 3rd, 5th, and 6th Battalions, which turned around from the flanks, launched an attack on the already shaken main force of officers and soldiers from three directions at the same time, and immediately defeated most of them.

He Ming knew that his troops were limited and it was impossible to form a complete encirclement. Therefore, during the battle, he asked the battalions to quickly defeat the officers and soldiers with fierce assaults and powerful firepower, causing them to lose their organization and command, and forcing the defeated soldiers to retreat to the seaside.

He invested all his troops at the beginning: all five battalions, and in order to maximize firepower, he added two additional militia companies to each battalion as auxiliary personnel. They were responsible for pushing and transporting the three 5 Pounds of mountain pomegranates and three typewriters constituted a powerful firepower of unprecedented scale.As for the big camp by the sea, the navy will send sailors and sailors on board to defend it--the night before, the navy has sent a large-scale reinforcement to the seaside, bringing in 2 Hale rockets, which is almost a warehouse. All in stock.

In the days after Chengmai and Shishan defeated the Ming army twice, He Ming has been observing the movements of the official army.The officers and soldiers did not retreat immediately, but re-occupied the Xiaoying field while repairing the camp.This signal can be considered that they are preparing for a long-term confrontation with the Fubo army under the city of Chengmai.Occupying Xiaoyingchang shows that they are probably thinking of transporting food by sea.

After a brief meeting, He Ming and his staff decided: Time is not waiting for us. Continuing a stalemate with the Ming army will be detrimental to the Fubo army. We must seize the opportunity when the Ming army's supply roads were cut off and their morale was low. It was defeated under the city.

In order to facilitate the collapse of the Ming army, the executive committee mobilized almost all the available soldiers in Lingao to Chengmai, and the last marine troops except the garrison battalion - two naval companies of the navy also rushed to Chengmai with the boat at night step.More 2-pound mountain pomegranates and typewriters were brought in, especially as the Army reported in several battles.Some mountain garnets were dismantled from pillboxes, and typewriters were dismantled from naval ships and hastily mounted on twin-wheeled gun mounts.

After the arrival of the reinforcements, the army and the navy decided after a brief discussion that the navy would launch shelling, using the range and deterrent effect of the rockets to destroy the camps and morale of the officers and soldiers.

Most of the ships sent by the navy are small traditional Chinese sailboats with shallow draft. After certain modifications, rocket launchers and mortars are installed to become special firepower ships.That night, the navy launched 400 Hale rockets to the Ming army camp, and the army launched 300 rockets from the camp. "Fireworks in Lin Shenhe" - everyone was talking and laughing when launching rockets.The first time I spent the Spring Festival in this time and space, I let this thing go.It's just that recently the source of pig iron is not as tight as it was earlier, and large-scale mass production began only when facing war.This is the first time this kind of rocket has been fully put into actual combat.

He Ming was standing on the watchtower of the big camp at this time, and all five infantry battalions of his troops had been put into battle at once.Judging from the current combat development, the combat development is ideal.The vanguard of the official army had been disintegrated by the explosion of the minefield and a violent infantry attack. Not only could it not play any combat role, but it also destroyed the main force of the official army in the middle.The ranks of officers and soldiers have already appeared in a state of obvious confusion.Basically being beaten by the infantry battalion.

He asked: "Have He Rubin's troops been mobilized?"

"No, the banner of his headquarters is still in the camp."

He Ming is very nervous: he does not have enough reserves, and it is difficult to deal with unexpected situations.The only thing available now was the company of sailors and sailors ashore from the navy ship who were guarding the camp for him.Chen Haiyang assured him that he had organized most of the sailors on the ship into five companies, ready to go ashore and join the battle at any time.But He Ming lacked confidence in the sailors' land combat capabilities.Sailors also practice infantry, formation, assassination, and shooting, but in far fewer training hours than regular infantry.

The staff officers of the Field Army constantly watched the battlefield with binoculars, marked the latest situation on the map, and used walkie-talkies to contact the battalion commanders at any time to adjust the direction of the troops' attack and prevent the officers and soldiers from finding gaps that could break through.

The first encirclement circle composed of five battalions is sparse, so a mobile team composed of armed agricultural vehicles and five mixed companies of sailors and sailors are deployed behind them-with typewriters and mountain grenades, and follow the instructions of the observation post to intercept the officers and soldiers who break through the encirclement. .

Most of the 1 officers and soldiers in our team were people from all walks of life who had been defeated in the battle a few days ago, and they had long lost their fighting spirit.It soon crumbled under the onslaught of the army. The roar of the 12-pound mountain pomegranate and the platoon caused the soldiers to lose their formation. Regardless of the interception of the generals, some of them retreated to the camp and the county seat, but most of them fled to the sea where there were no enemies.

He Rubin ran out of the village, only to see that the outside was in a mess, and the officers and soldiers who had lost their formation and organizational system were fleeing amidst the thick smoke and fire.

He ordered people to beat drums and blow snails, and asked all the ministries to retreat to the camp to gather, but the battlefield was already in chaos, and there were gunfire and shouts of killing everywhere, and no one ignored his orders. Generals, but the soldiers sent never came back.

Is that how he lost? !He Rubin's hands and feet turned cold and he froze on the spot for a while.His generals and soldiers were very anxious and did not dare to remind him.

At this time, Sun Changzuo came running with a dozen of his own soldiers. He jumped off his horse and said: "My lord, get on your horse and lead the battalion to escort the old battalion to break through!"

He Rubin suppressed the panic in his heart: "Generals, who else is in the army?"

"Ye Guerrilla is the only one left." Sun Changzuo said loudly, "Now all the ministries have been disbanded, and the generals have led their troops to break through the siege! My lord, get on your horse and go!"

"Where is Master Zhao?"

"Lord Zhao and Lord Lu are waiting for you at the gate of the camp," Sun Changzuo said anxiously, "If you don't leave, the Kun bandits will encircle you!"

Speaking of which, several relatives could not help but embrace him on the horseback and rush out.His 2000 members of the Chinese army had assembled long ago, and Zhao Ruyi, Lu Yizhong, and his staff all rode horses among them, and immediately surrounded him and rushed out of the Chinese army camp towards Qiongshan.

The firearm battalion carried by Li Modao has been forgotten. He and his troops are still guarding the camp of the Chinese army, but there is no team of bandits attacking the camp of the Chinese army. The tiger crouching cannon was useless, I just watched a large group of officers and soldiers fleeing towards the seaside under the chase of the gray queue of thieves.It had nothing to do with him.

"Run to the seaside to die?" Li Modao yelled, but no one heard him. At this time, his subordinates also began to lose their positions - the coach had already run away, surrounded by soldiers and horses of the gangsters, I couldn't see how many people there were, only the sound of killing and gunshots could be heard everywhere.A general came running and asked him if he should leave the camp and run away now.

"You can't run now!" Li Modao shook his head. "It's a mess outside. When you go out, you will be wrapped by the chaos and run to the beach. When you get to the beach, you have to be cleaned up by the thieves! Let's guard first, and the thieves will not Don’t shoot us even if you attack us. Roll up the flags! We’ll break through when the large group of people pass by!”

He told the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion to leave only a few observation posts, and all the others came down from the camp wall and opened all the camp doors.

"Come down from the camp wall and open the camp gate again. How can we defend?" Someone asked urgently.

"Stay safe!" Li Modao scolded in a low voice, "The thieves thought it was an empty camp with such a car, and they wouldn't rush in right away. We're here for a while."

He Rubin's 2000 troops, led by Ye Zhengfang with 10 cavalry, rushed out of the Chinese army's camp like a tiger out of a cage, with a very ferocious momentum.But their movements were immediately grasped by the observation posts.He Ming knew that this was the main force of the Chinese army breaking through.He immediately ordered the entire camp of Zhu Mingxia, who was intercepting the fleeing enemy nearby, to come and intercept them.Immediately, four infantry companies came from the left flank, and four infantry companies attacked from the right flank at the same time.An infantry company with a typewriter quickly occupied a small hill on the side of the post road.Dozens of bullets knocked the striker off his back. Ye Zhengfang was the first to fall under the machine gun fire, and immediately lost the momentum to break through the encirclement.Since most of the Chinese army was infantry, they were slow to move and were quickly bitten by the infantry of the Fubo Army.Rifles, typewriters, and mountain grenades lobbed hundreds of rounds from the flanks at the breakout centre.Bullets flew continuously from the two wings and the front, killing and wounding the soldiers in the queue row by row.In less than [-] minutes, the entire queue shook.Even so, the Chinese army is the core of He Rubin's headquarters after all, and the will to fight is very tenacious. Although some people continue to fall under the heavy shooting, the soldiers still line up in a tight formation to cover the generals and staff in the middle They rushed eastward step by step.

Sun Changzuo hurriedly asked He Rubin and Zhao Ruyi to flee under the cover of cavalry with their staff.He led the infantry to resist on the spot and hold off the attack of the bandits.

"My lord! If you don't leave now, when will you wait!" Sun Changzuo roared. More than half of the soldiers around him were dead, and they were hit by several shrapnel, and they were already bleeding profusely. Army!" As he spoke, he personally led He Rubin's servants and rushed towards a company formation. Although they were immediately restrained by the typewriter's fire, they successfully attracted the firepower. More than 100 cavalry and 300 foot servants immediately Under the leadership of Song Ming and He Zhanran, they took advantage of this opportunity and rushed towards He Rubin and others.Another company on the flank hurried up to pursue, and some servants immediately turned over to fight. Arrows came like raindrops, killing many infantry by surprise. A rearguard battle gave the cavalry a lot of escape.

"There is a group of cavalry heading towards Qiongshan, very fast. I am afraid that the infantry will not be able to catch up with them."

"Probably He Rubin himself." He Ming said lightly, and he ordered: "Send a farm vehicle to chase! The special investigation team pay attention to intercept! Tell Zhu Mingxia, quickly resolve the battle, there are still a large group of prisoners here Grasp!"

A farm vehicle equipped with an M240 machine gun may not be as fast as a horse in an instant sprint, but it is definitely better than any horse in long-distance pursuit.

Sun Changzuo desperately resisted with the standard battalion, but he still couldn't resist the superior firepower of the Fubo Army.He led the team to rush several times, but they were all repelled by fierce firepower. Several times, the soldiers rushed into the queue of the thieves, but were quickly stabbed to death by the enemy's bayonet.One of his arms had been pierced by a bullet, and he was covered in blood.I was secretly surprised: it doesn't mean that the Kun thief is not good at land warfare only with firearms, and he is most afraid of fighting with white soldiers.But at this moment, he found that the Kun bandits were never at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat. Not only were they "skilled in fighting skills", but their fighting will was far more tenacious than that of the officers and soldiers.

In order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, He Ming dispatched more typewriters and several 12-pound mountain pomegranates to support the 4th Battalion. Forced to retreat to the sea under pressure.

In the chaos, many people retreated to Chengmai County, but Song Zonghui, the deputy commander of Lianyong in the county, had already bribed the general guard who entered the city with the acquiescence of the county magistrate, and made him promise not to open the city gate to accept the rout soldiers.So the gates of Chengmai County were closed tightly, and rout troops were not allowed to enter.The broken soldiers shouted and cursed at the city, and some people shot arrows at the city, but the Fubo army behind them killed them immediately, and they could only continue to flee to the sea.

More than one group of people saw the sinister intention of the Fubo Army to drive them to the sea, so they turned around suddenly under the command of the general, looking for the gaps between the battalions to protrude, but except for a few people, most of the breakouts were maneuvered. The troops intercepted and were quickly defeated and wiped out under a burst of fierce firepower.

Li Modao saw that the rebellious soldiers had passed, and most of the infantry of the Kun bandits also rushed over, and immediately ordered the whole battalion to throw away all their belongings, and everyone only brought their own weapons and a small amount of firearms to break through at any time.He had been observing the battlefield just now, and he knew that the Kun bandits mobilized their troops very quickly, and a large group of troops who broke through the siege would definitely be intercepted, so it was better to divide into small groups and escape.He immediately divided his subordinates into seven or eight drums, with 200 people per share.They rushed out of the battalion together and scattered to break out in two directions, east and south.

A khaki agricultural vehicle suddenly rushed out of the woods, honking its horn.Li Modao and the others watched in panic as an iron box panted heavily and stopped in front of them with a sharp roar. Several people on its back quickly twisted an iron pipe like a small cannon towards it. They turn around.

Li Modao knew something was wrong, so he immediately rolled on the spot and rolled into the ditch beside the road, and then he heard a violent roar like tearing cloth.The scorching fire swept across, and his brothers fell back one by one as if they had been punched hard.Then, many thieves in blue clothes rushed out from the woods. They rushed forward with bright bayonet-mounted blunderbusses, killing the rest of the people at once. Some surrendered and others tried to escape and were assassinated in the woods. Beside, the whole team was wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Li Modao hid most of his body in the ditch, hiding under a dead body.The sound of the iron horse gradually faded away, but he still lay motionless for a long time, until the sound of guns and people around him gradually faded away, then he quietly got up and fled to Qiongshan.

Despite the constant interception, many small groups of troops managed to escape the interception and fled to Qiongshan. Most of them were killed or captured by the pursuing mobile team, and only a few troops were able to escape to Qiongshan.There are also people who found fishing boats by the sea after escaping for a while, and used threats or bribes to get fishermen to cross the strait to escape.

By 9 o'clock in the morning, the situation on the entire Chengmai battlefield was completely clear: the entire army of the officers and soldiers was defeated.There are no longer organized officers and soldiers on the battlefield.The fubo army consciously drove the broken soldiers of the generals to the sea, and He Ming told the propaganda team to bring the loudspeaker along the road and continuously broadcast the order of "surrender without killing".Many people surrendered at this point, and some people couldn't run anymore, so they simply threw their weapons and lay on the ground waiting to die.

Under the attack of the Fubo army, the troops that fled to the seaside retreated to the seaside one after another.Many people rushed to Xiaoying Field.Many people panicked and retreated to the beach, retreating step by step towards the water.But the further they retreated, the deeper the water, the softer the sand, and the more difficult it was to move.They were killed or captured alive by the pursuing Fubo soldiers.

Thousands of remnants and defeated generals gathered on the ruined camp of Xiaoyingchang and on the nearby coast. The broken walls and broken walls shot arrows to block the advance of the Fubo army. The Fubo army did not advance, but shot with rifles from a distance.But they didn't care how many enemies they killed, they just shot and killed some people who were still trying to resist, so that they couldn't move.At that time, Wei Aiwen sent many officers and soldiers who had been captured and surrendered in Shishan a few days earlier to shout everywhere, asking them to surrender immediately.

"Brothers, surrender quickly, come here and don't beat or kill, and treat the wounded or sick!" A voice urging to surrender came from the wind.
