Chapter 572 The Hailan Pao Incident (5) Crossfire
He knew Zhang Zuolin, just as the other party had also figured out his Battalion Commander Zhao's background. As the two largest armed leaders on the Sino-Russian border near Hailanpao, they even knew each other more than their friends for many years.
Only in this way did Zhao Dachengcai find it incredible. Zhang Zuolin has been unwilling to accept the government's lenient treatment for more than ten years since his debut. He would rather take the constantly weakened force of men and horses to move forward thousands of miles. He is so stubborn, why did he suddenly remember to surrender?
It happened to be such a subtle moment, and it was strange inside and outside!
Immediately, his eyes were filled with vigilance and distrust!
Zhang Zuolin opened his arms calmly, revealing his open inner body, staring at Zhao Dacheng firmly and said, "I know that Battalion Commander Zhao can't trust me, that doesn't matter. Today, we'll fight for the lives of hundreds of brothers, and have a life-and-death battle with the Russians. I'll give you a letter of fame!"
Zhao Dacheng has been trained for more than ten years, and his mind is always calm and sober. He believes 50% of what the other party said, and the possibility of a Russian cavalry raiding quietly made a decision.
"I don't believe you, Zhang Dajia. This matter is really too important, and I can't make the decision. But I believe you will not betray our Chinese compatriots and cannot do such a kind of thing as colluding with foreigners and harming the countryside. I will contact the superiors and ask for advice. Zhang Dajia and all brothers come to work hard at night. You might as well rest here for a while, drink a bowl of hot soup and juice to get rid of the cold!"
He spoke tactfully, but his attitude was very obvious.
A strong man walked out of the crowd opposite and shouted in a muffled voice: "Brother! They obviously can't trust us, why bother to let others beat us with a shy face? At worst, we will die in the woods, and it's better that we can't raise our heads for the rest of our lives!"
Then there was a loud voice, and he was obviously very unhappy with Zhao Dacheng's attitude.
Zhao Dacheng was completely unmoved and stared at Zhang Zuolin's face from beginning to end. A faint sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had seen many such tricks. When he followed the Construction Corps to the Northeast, he was the leader of the militia, but he never stopped participating in the bandit suppression operations. He knew all these beards and beards clearly.
The so-called different opinions are just the most commonly used red-faced and white-faced ones they use. They deliberately create some different opinions, put pressure on the other party, and strive for conditions that are more beneficial to them.
In reality, if the boss could not suppress the brothers below, I would have died many times.
The bandits' nest is not a sturdy land, it cannot tolerate a few big heads. Any internal relationship that cannot be settled will either be annexed or be swept away by the government at the earliest.
Zhang Zuolin has been walking in the world for more than ten years. He has been fighting from the edge of the Liao River to the other side of Heilongjiang. Without absolute control, he can't afford so many people at all!
It is because Zhao Dacheng didn't kill him too clearly. A bandit composed of at least two or three hundred iron-core brothers, once it gets into the country, what a terrible potential harm it would be! To put it bluntly, when encountering the chaotic era of the late Qing Dynasty, they were enough to calmly pull up thousands of troops and create a country!
This is because of the revolutionary army commanded by the great head of state, that they can sweep away the world with monsters and monsters without any rivals. If they are slightly inferior in level, I am afraid that Zhang Zuolin has become the King of Northeast China at this time!—
He guessed it right!
In the late Qing Dynasty in this world, Zhang Zuolin became more than the king of Northeast China. At the best, he was the quasi-hegemon who commanded the world!
Such a hero must never be treated with ordinary views.
Zhang Zuolin obviously understood the other party's ridicule and sighed helplessly. Those bad brothers, who are kind-hearted to do bad things at critical moments! Such tricks can fool ordinary forces and face the head of the armed head of Hailanpao, who was entrusted with important tasks, and the old brothers who were personally brought out by the head of state, were basically playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong!
However, Zhang Zuolin is not an ordinary person after all. He would not turn back and scold the noisy people, and he laughed at Zhao Dacheng calmly: "Our brothers have been living in the Green Forest Road for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to correct some problems. Captain Zhao, please forgive me! But my words are full of real money and there is no falsehood. The Russian soldiers will arrive in a blink of an eye. Even if you can't trust us for the time being, at least you have to prepare to face the enemy first? In the end, they can't let them ruin the lives of the villagers!"
Zhao Dacheng nodded: "Zhang Dazhuan has written down this favor. We are already making arrangements for the battle. Since you want to help, please arrange it. How to arrange the specific battle? Send someone to contact us in time."
In any case, the village cannot be opened for the time being and let them enter.
Zhang Zuolin had expected this result and clasped his fists with both hands: "As long as Captain Zhao's instructions!"
Turning around, returning to the bandits, he raised his hand and patted the dog-skinned hat that he had just stood up and shouted: "Mom, why don't you remember more?! What did I give me before I came out? I'll handle all the negotiations. What's the fucking thing?! What's the matter if you overturn the plate?!"
The strong man, who was obviously one head taller than him, ran away with a slap in his head and was kicked hard on the butt. He hid in the crowd with red faces amid the clamor of everyone.
Zhao Dacheng looked from afar, and his mouth was silently sunk. He turned around and ordered the militia to set up positions quickly, with the focus on arranging the villagers in the village to move to Hailanpao as soon as possible.
At the middle of the night, it was the time when people were sleeping the most. Suddenly, people shouted and barked, and the villagers of Erdaoliang who were always alert, got up from the kang. When they saw the scene outside, they heard what the militia and the village chief said, they didn’t know that there was going to fight!
Living in the border areas, I have long been awakened to having a difficult life.
After all, the New China is not a feudal dynasty. Except for a few of them who got up early and fled, most of them were adventurers who followed the development of the new dynasty after the establishment of the tripod.
The villagers in the entire village were well-trained. Without saying a word, young and middle-aged people took out their guns from their homes, put on the squad and gathered in an emergency, and helped the militia to arrange defenses every second. Most women took their children and the elderly, pushed wheelbarrows, bicycles, and carried a small bag to move backwards.
None of them said they were reluctant to let go of their family business. Since the start of the new dynasty, they left behind the tradition of compensated the people for their losses in the war, which has never been changed for more than ten years.
In the words of the Grand Head of State Yang Hao, letting the enemy enter the home is the incompetence and shame of the national army! The losses caused by this should be compensated by the state!
This also greatly encourages the people's spirit of resistance. There is no need to worry about the jars and jars. Such a government and a country are worthy of their lives to defend.
In this world, the reason why our party can continue to defeat the enemy and ultimately win the liberation and victory of the entire nation is inseparable from this spirit of building an army. Only by taking responsibility for the people can the country gain support and recognition from the public. On the contrary, the Democratic Party, who is bound to be despised and rejected, is a ready-made negative teaching material.
Having said that, when Chiang Kai-shek was forced to transfer to Taiwan, he learned from his mistakes, he also learned from the red bandits in their mouths to carry out land reform, so that he could gain a foothold there. However, the problems in the Democratic Party’s bones could not be corrected. They made many tricks of good policies, which led to the root of the scattered disasters that were divided many years later. Not to mention this.
There were dozens of households in Erdaoliang, but nearly hundreds of men, women, young and old, with guns. There were many teenagers, who were staring at each other and trying their best to follow the war, but were beaten and kicked out by the elderly.
I'm not dead yet, it's not your little one's turn to get involved! The head of state said, your teenagers are the buds of the motherland. The sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning is the future master! The key is that the national law is protected. Who dares to ask you to lose a hair?
Some tough women believe that their courage is not inferior to men, and they are all trained by going to Guandong, but they are left to help.
For nothing else, while Hailanpao and the entire country are popularizing literacy, they also provide training for all people on basic skills. Even if a large number of women fail to learn, they can learn more skills in embroidery, planting, breeding, and hygiene.
Hailanpao is located on the frontier. In the early years, there were many conflicts between bandits and Russians. Brave women were bound to help with guns at critical moments. However, most of them did not use them, so they learned a little more basic medical methods, battlefield first aid, etc. That was annual training.
After all, the deep mountains and forests in the border are not as good as those in the pass, with a harsh living environment and poor medical conditions. If you don’t know any first aid technology, you may die outside due to injury or illness one day. This is a life-saving technique, and no one dares to ignore it.
Zhao Dacheng has been operating in Hailanpao for ten years. Not only has he established authority and won trust, but the key is to make the surrounding geographical environment and personnel resources clear. Regular military-civilian joint defense exercises and training allow militia and gun-carrying people to cooperate very smoothly.
Therefore, he only brought a platoon of people to rescue, not being arrogant or reckless. Because there are only a hundred people who can use it as ready-made!
In the Hailanpao area, there are many similar villages, which can be said to be the soldiers of the whole people!
As long as there are qualified leaders to organize them, all the bandits and bandits will be given in vain!
The temporary command post was set up in Erdaoliang Primary School. On the one hand, the place is spacious enough and the conditions are suitable. On the other hand, this is also the most solid building in the entire village - it is also the order requested by the head of state. No matter where the school is, the building quality is not up to standard, and once an accident occurs, the local officials will lose their heads!
The portable radio station was erected to raise antennas, and the mortars from the load-carrying bicycle camel were arranged in the threshing ground. The militia and the people helped each other to occupy the commanding heights of the village, and all obstacles and fortresses were set up at the intersection. Some large wood and stones that were usually piled on the edge were set up for this.
Zhao Dacheng came to Hailanpao and arranged every village as a war preparation base. Each village could quickly become a fortress and planned in an orderly manner.
Zhang Zuolin still arranged the gang members in the dense forest, and except for accepting a batch of wine sent from the village, he did not take any other choice. He himself only brought two young followers as contacts and watched from a distance, watching, in just a few dozen minutes, the former most ordinary Erdaoliang became a battlefield stronghold controlled by heavy troops!
The militia number 30, the number 100, the men, women and civilians rushed from the surrounding villages to support other militia detachments. In half an hour, the number of people here surged to three hundred!
The three hundred guns seemed to be mixed together like flowing water, and there was no sign of chaos!
Zhao Dacheng was hardly busy. He often stood in front of the primary school office with his waist pinched his waist and listened to the leaders of the militia detachments in each village and each militia detachment taking turns to ask for instructions and reports. Often, when the other party finished speaking, he either nodded or gave instructions in a short time. Those people knew what to do when they went back.
Zhang Zuolin's pupils were wide open and he was sweating profusely!
These are not a militia. They are just regular soldiers! Even the elite troops of the Far Eastern troops of the Russians on the other side are!
After leading troops for more than ten years, at most, more than 10,000 people were ordered to arm the armed forces. Zhang Zuolin knew how difficult it was to be an officer! He could dispatch hundreds of troops in an orderly manner, like an arm and finger, and even lift heavy weights. In the Qing Dynasty, he would be a famous general!
But Zhao Dayong is just an injured retired veteran.
This made Zhang Zuolin truly realize how far the new dynasty army in his concept is from the real elite soldiers and generals!
He was even more fortunate that he had always insisted on not letting the team fight head-on with the Revolutionary Army over the years. How wise it was! Not to mention that the regular army was stronger, it just reached the level of these militias. Their seemingly tough bandit armed forces would die as much as they went up!
Even if he was the strongest, the two thousand elite soldiers who were guarding the house of his family would be able to break through the village guarded by these 300 militias, his teeth might collapse and he would not be able to get rid of them!
A militia battalion commander is so awesome, and an ordinary village is so powerful. What a powerful military existence is that of such a large China? And what a wise and powerful military presence is the great leader who created all this? It is incredible!
Zhang Zuolin felt the last bit of luck in his heart. He didn't have much left to deal with it. He was completely annihilated, but only a line of separation.
He even laughed at himself, thinking of using his troops to exchange for a better future back then, no wonder he looked down upon. The elite soldiers of the Revolutionary Army did not take their mob seriously in their achievements! The bandits recruited and collected. Where can there be more trustworthy direct descendants selected from the children of good people!
All kinds of random thoughts, an hour will pass without realizing it.
What surprised Zhang Zuolin was that except for the urgent delivery of a batch of weapons and ammunition, Hailanpao did not come to reinforce, and there were no more militias in other villages to help. Three hundred guns were the limit here.
He didn't hear the alarm sounding from Hailanpao, nor did he see the border guards crossing the river to help.
What does this mean? I can't trust our Lao Zhang's information? You must know that in order to find out the news, he ruined a network of relations with Russian Russians! The loss is quite considerable! Just in return for such a result?
Zhang Zuolin was very unhappy. He was about to go over and ask clearly, but suddenly he saw two militias rushing over and tell him: "Zhang Dazhu, our battalion commander called to explain that our investigators have discovered the vanguard of the Russian cavalry. They came in ten minutes. You should go back and prepare quickly. Let's follow you, and really need your support and will issue instructions."
Looking at the radio station that the other person was carrying, Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed. These were two liaison officers, and obviously they still had a certain degree of trust in their brothers.
He no longer showed off his airs and quickly took people back. The bandits who had almost had a rest were ordered and stood up to pack up their weapons and prepare to fight!
In the dark night, several tall horses suddenly broke out in the mountains and forests one kilometer away from Erdaoliang!
After a few breaths, more than a dozen horses rushed out one after another, and in this open space next to the edge of the cut down forest, he was restlessly turning back and forth, trampling on the remaining snow. The strong white air spurted out from the horse's nose looked particularly strange in the dark night!
On the horse's back were the Cossack cavalry covered with tight bodies! They slightly identified the direction and soon found that at the end of the gentle slope, there was a scattered light shining in Erdaoliang Village. It was as quiet as usual, and it seemed nothing unusual.
And these people obviously don’t care whether there is any abnormality!
The strong Russian in charge shouted softly, raised the Mosinnagan rifle with his right hand, and slammed his heel on the horse's belly, and rushed out first!
The rest of the people followed and shouted strangely, picking up their rifles and following closely behind. The rumbling sound of hooves shook the remaining snow on the pine trees beside them, and fell all over the ground!
More than a dozen riders swept away the wind and the remaining clouds, with great momentum, and rushed along the curved mountain road!
Running on a horse in the dark night is not only not only not caring about the horse, but also irresponsible for the safety of one's own life!
But these Russian Cossack cavalry seemed to like it very much! And their riding skills were indeed superior, and none of them fell off the horse!
The quiet village, with dim lights standing at the entrance of the village, is a typical feature of villages in China in northern Xinjiang. Their extravagant waste of electricity has been criticized by countries around the world, and they are even more envious and jealous!
Electricity, once sold for three dollars in the United States! It was just wasted!
Most of the places in Tsarist Russia are still in a backward era of lighting lamps and boiling oil. Electricity is simply magic for most illiterate people. They are full of awe and a symbol of wealth!
The Cossacks were savage and rude, but they liked to act as the vanguard of wealth robbery!
Now, seeing an ordinary mountain village that looked almost unprepared, they had almost no hesitation, and even saved the opportunity to investigate in a circle. A strange scream from Ulala rushed straight ahead!
Based on years of experience, their dozens of cavalry can crush a small village!
At some point, Zhao Dacheng came to the village entrance defense line from the primary school headquarters and looked at the cavalry emerging from afar, as if they were evil ghosts walking in the night, with a strong murderous intent on his face!
He loaded his pistol "Kala" and looked at everyone left and right, shouting in a deep voice: "Put the Japanese closer and then hit them, and no one is allowed to run away!"
"clear!"
The sound was heard everywhere, full of excitement!
The cavalry advanced, and they were in a dark and they couldn't see the defensive arrangements on the opposite side. The shaking street lights provided good light cover, making them ignore the already piled up of rolling wood-rock fortresses!
Suddenly, a two-meter-high obstacle came into view, but the distance was only thirty meters! The leader of the cavalry was suddenly shocked and hurriedly stopped his horse to avoid hitting him!
Just then, Zhao Dacheng yelled: "Battle!"
The fire at the muzzle shines, and one hits! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
