After planning the action plan, the three of them split up and acted immediately. Chen Hu led a squadron of more than 30 people and quickly headed towards Liu's residence.As soon as they approached the Liu Mansion, they heard scattered gunshots in the city. Although the soldiers of the Special Forces were highly skilled, they were not familiar with the geography after all. There must be a fish that slipped through the net, and the battle was inevitable.

Hearing the gunshots, Chen Hu knew he couldn't wait any longer. He immediately ordered the snipers to spread around to control the commanding heights, while the others launched an offensive towards the main entrance of the Liu Mansion.The two mortars were placed almost horizontally, and the gunner deftly stuffed the mortar shells with fins into them.There was a sharp whistling sound, and two shells accurately hit the vermilion lacquered gate of Liu's house. With a loud bang, the thick gate suddenly turned into debris all over the sky.

Several servants who were startled were guarding the gate, but before they heard the gunshot, they were pushed out by the blast. For a while, they fell to pieces, and they didn't know where the gun was thrown.Three or four assaulters knew that the opportunity was rare, so they rushed into the mansion with their rifles in hand, and shot the fallen servants a few times, killing them all.

The soldiers of the rear team rushed in quickly, and a Mark heavy machine gun was also set up, sweeping wildly at the second door.Several servants in the inner house wanted to rush out to take back the gate, but they were suppressed by machine guns so that they could not lift their heads.Taking advantage of this opportunity, other soldiers filed in. Several soldiers immediately threw their grappling hooks onto the tile roof of the courtyard wall, then bit their pistols in their mouths, and using both hands, they climbed up in only two or three seconds.

Climbing over the wall, several soldiers waved their pistols and fired at the servants inside the door opening, killing them all.At this time, Liu Hongqi's family members who were in the inner house were all in a mess. They screamed and ran around, but they didn't know where to hide.

A few clever people wanted to open the back door and escape, but just as they stepped out, their heads were blown off by snipers who were waiting for work.Seeing that the people in front died so badly, the people behind did not dare to step out the back door anymore.The people who soon planned to climb the wall to leave also met the same fate, and the people in the yard gave up and fled completely.

Chapter 124 Ambush in the Valley

More and more soldiers turned into the courtyard, and in the end even the machine guns were moved to the vicinity of the second gate. The servants of Liu's mansion completely lost the possibility of victory.A soldier shouted loudly: "We only ask for money and don't kill people. As long as you put down your weapons, we won't hurt anyone." Hearing the shout, the remaining few servants who were frightened immediately threw away their guns.

"Mothers all kneel down with their heads in their arms. If anyone dares to run around again, I will shoot." The soldier shouted cursingly, pretending to be a bandit.The yard became quiet in an instant, and everyone squatted down, not daring to move anymore.Chen Hu ordered these family members of the Liu family to be searched. After searching for all kinds of things that could be weapons, the group of people were locked in the woodshed in the backyard.

One team was on guard outside, another team was guarding the prisoners, and the remaining team was responsible for searching the entire Liu Mansion.The special soldiers who had undergone strict training were very resourceful. They quickly found the secret compartment in the bedroom and collected all the gold, silver and jewelry that Liu Hongqi had collected over the years as well as his criminal evidence.

"Big Master, I got the stuff." In order to confuse these prisoners, the special operations team members had already changed their titles, and the commander Chen Hu was also called Big Master.

Chen Hu nodded: "Since the red goods are in hand, let the brothers withdraw quickly. It's almost dawn, and we have to drive dozens of miles of mountain roads."

"No problem, brothers retreat." Xiao Jun waved the rifle in his hand and summoned everyone back.Soon all the special forces members in the city were summoned, and they withdrew from Qianwei City in an orderly manner, heading towards the preset position.At this time, Liu Hongqi, who heard the gun battle broke out in the city, was frightened. Before they arrived at the Yanjing mining area, they transferred their team and rushed towards the city.

Taking advantage of Liu Hongqi's passing time, the first battalion that caught up deployed a blockade line at the end of the valley.Due to time constraints, they only had time to dig some foxholes, and did not arrange other large positions. Fortunately, before the third brigade, they dug complete field fortifications on the hills on both sides. Most of the mortars and heavy machine guns It can be placed there.

Liu Hongqi, who hurried back, was naturally more careless about reconnaissance, and they plunged into the ambush circle in a daze.Abu Chaba was in the blocking position, and he was in charge of a machine gun himself. When he saw that the enemy was only 300 meters away from the blocking position, he shouted: "Hit." Then he pressed down the shooting button with both hands.

The Mark heavy machine gun with a firing rate of [-] per minute began to roar, and the dull sound of thud reverberated in the valley, beating everyone's heart.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the blocking position fired one after another, firing at the Houjin soldiers who were already in a mess in front of them.

When the soldiers on the mountain heard the gunshots, they also fired together. A dozen mortars roared almost at the same time, throwing shells one after another into the crowd of Jin soldiers in the valley, blowing them upside down.The crossfire on both sides of the mountain blocked all areas of the valley, effectively shooting and killing the opponent's soldiers, and also prevented the Houjin soldiers of the rear team from escaping the valley.

The dense gunfire and cannon sounds completely blinded Liu Hongqi and Acton. They couldn't figure out where the bandits came from, and they dared to attack the main force of the official army.In any case, it was an indisputable fact that they were attacked. In order to avoid becoming a target, they jumped off their horses and found a huge rock to hide.

"What's going on with Liu Hongqi? Didn't you say that the place is peaceful and there are no bandits? Could it be that these bandits fell from the sky? How dare they attack the officers and soldiers? How powerful is it?" Acton cursed angrily while tilting his ear. Listening, he then glared at Liu Hongqi and said, "Listen, the bandits also have cannons and electric guns (what officials in the later Jin Dynasty called machine guns), these weapons are fucking better than the new army."

At this moment, Liu Hongqi's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't speak a word.Liu Hongqi also felt that he was wronged. Originally, all the bandits within hundreds of miles were pretended by his salt protection team and patrol battalion. He also took advantage of this opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, and he was even able to appease the local area.But now the thugs who don't know where they came from have destroyed all his belongings, which makes him not panic.

"My lord, I think there is fraud in this, maybe the new army rebelled somewhere." Liu Hongqi said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Acton said: "Be careful of the crime of framing that the Xinjun sued you. Now the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the Xinjun. If you sing against it at this time, you will be punished by the nine clans."

Liu Hongqi shrank his neck and said: "But it's not a problem to hide like this. You heard that the gunfire is so dense that it's like frying beans. We are waiting to die if we hide like this."

"Who said waiting to die? I don't believe in evil. Could it be that my Eight Banners warriors can't defeat these bandits?" Acton's eyes were red, and he drew his waist knife and shouted at the Eight Banners soldiers next to him: "The Eight Banners warriors give me Rush, only by breaking out of the valley can we survive."

Hearing Acton's roar, more than 1000 Eight Banners soldiers seemed to have some courage. They followed Acton and rushed towards the mouth of the valley in the ancient dense charge formation.While charging, these people shot with the rifles in their hands, but these untrained soldiers had poor marksmanship, and if they shot while running like this, only God knew how many hits the bullets would have.

The heavy firepower on both sides of the hills quickly noticed the large group of the charging Hou Jin army. They immediately aimed their mortars and heavy machine guns at this place, and fired intensively at the Qing army formation.The fierce firepower caused the Qing army to suffer heavy casualties, and there were many corpses on the charge road, but the remaining Eight Banners soldiers were still stubbornly launching the charge, but these were doomed to be futile.

Liu Hongqi, who was hiding behind, looked at the Eight Banners soldiers who fell to the ground one after another, and spat fiercely on the ground: "A group of fools, they charge after hearing that they have stun guns, you don't want to wait for grandpa to kill you." After looking at it, he found that all the firepower was attracted to Acton's direction. He waved his hand and ran back with a dozen people around him.Because the sky was too dark, the special combat team members on the mountain did not notice that this small group of enemies had escaped secretly, and Liu Hongqi was able to escape by luck.

Acton's charge was somewhat effective. After all, they had more than 1000 people, and only [-] people led by Abu Chaba blocked the Taniguchi.Seeing that the opponent was about to rush to the ground, Abu Chaba spun his machine gun vigorously, trying to block the way forward, but these red-eyed Eight Banners soldiers unexpectedly broke out their fighting power once in a while, and kept charging forward regardless of the casualties of their companions.

Chapter 125 Scaring off the new governor

At this time, Abu Chaba's forehead was already covered with sweat. He knew very well that none of his brothers would survive if the opponent rushed forward, but it was impossible to retreat at this time. They could only shoot desperately, using bullets to fight Block the advance of the Eight Banners soldiers.

100 meters... 80 meters... 50 meters... 30 meters, the footsteps of the Eight Banners soldiers are getting closer and closer, but all the special forces do not panic at all. They still pull the bolts with skillful movements to shoot, and then pull the bolts Shooting again, the connection between movements is like flowing water, without the slightest sense of stagnation.

Seeing that the Eight Banners soldiers had already rushed in front of him, Abu Chaba raised his head and ordered the soldiers to throw grenades.However, the grenades of these soldiers have not yet been thrown, a violent explosion has already rang out in the Eight Banners soldiers, and then countless figures entered the position without looking for foxholes. strafing.

With the addition of several heavy machine guns, the firepower of the special forces members suddenly increased, and the Eight Banners soldiers could no longer advance an inch in the narrow valley.Grenades combined with machine guns, coupled with the rapid shelling of mortars, ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Eight Banners soldiers.

In the end, the remaining dozens of people finally came to their senses. It was already impossible for them to turn around and escape.The machine guns on the side of the mountain would never give these people a chance to escape, including Acton, who were shot and killed by crossfire on the retreat road, leaving no survivors.

"Commander, you are here." Only now did Abu Chaba have time to turn his head to see who the sudden reinforcements were, but after a quick glance, he realized that it was Chen Hu who had gone to Qianwei City, with two A brigade pressed up.

Chen Hu patted Abu Chaba on the shoulder and said, "You're fine, you dare to block the way with only 100 people and block more than 1000 people. Do you want to die? If we hadn't arrived in time, you people would have been reimbursed. Write me a detailed battle report later and hand it in." Then he walked into the valley with a smirk on his face, leaving behind Abu Chaba with a bitter face.

Xiao Jun came over and said: "Abu, you are too greedy for merit. The commander told you to only attack on the sides, but you were blocked in the front. You will feel better this time. Remember to write the battle report in detail. "After that, he laughed and walked over.

"Write well, no one can help you with this." Wu Chengfei also looked helpless.

Abu Chaba said: "Isn't this killing me? I am willing to fight ten more times, and I don't want to write a report." If you say that no one in the special combat team will frown, but let them write The combat report, it is estimated that everyone will have a headache.

"Who is not like this, who made you so fierce, let's do it yourself." Wu Chengfei rolled his eyes and followed Xiao Jun's footsteps.

Chen Hu shouted to the soldiers: "Clear the battlefield, collect the weapons and ammunition and take them away, leave no one alive, and withdraw them all in half an hour." Xiao Jun and Wu Chengfei split up to control the troops, spread out to the surroundings, and cleared the battlefield Come.From time to time, the clear echo of pistols sounded on the battlefield. This was the soldiers killing the Eight Banners soldiers who were not dead yet.The statistics came up soon, and Chen Hu frowned secretly: "What's going on? There are so many more. Could it be that our information is wrong?"

Xiao Jun came over and said, "Commander, we caught a prisoner just now. I interrogated him. It turns out that there are more than 1000 Eight Banners soldiers under the command of General Shudu. He was passing through here to rest here, but we made it up to him. But according to what the prisoner said, that bastard Liu Hongqi seems to have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped."

"If you run away, just run away. Anyway, he won't live for a few days. Order the soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield immediately. Remember that no prisoner will be left alive." Chen Hu said.

"Understood." Xiao Jun nodded and went.Before dawn, the special operations team withdrew from the battle with a large number of guns and ammunition, and retreated into the vast mountains.

Three days later, Xiliang received the shocking news that banditry broke out in Qianwei City. Acton and more than 1000 Eight Banners soldiers under his command all died. If it wasn't for some of the salt protection team not in the Yanjing mining area, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be enough people to defend the city.In fact, Xiliang didn't know that these surviving salt guards did not happen to be not in the mining area, but went to other places to pretend to be bandits, and escaped the catastrophe.

Originally, Xiliang was about to step down as the governor of Zhongchuan, and such a serious incident happened at this moment, how could this not make him angry.Xiliang immediately ordered Wu Peifu to lead the newly formed No.30 Four Mixed Association, and cooperate with the Three Thousand and Eight Banners to go to the vicinity of Qianwei City to suppress bandits. At the same time, he had to report this terrible situation to the court.

When the imperial court heard that there were such powerful bandits in Zhongchuan that they wiped out more than 1000 Eight Banners soldiers in one battle, the court and the public were shocked.Chen Kuilong, who was going to take over as the governor of Zhongchuan, was even more afraid to go. Hearing that there were such powerful bandits in Zhongchuan, his wife Mrs. Xu was frightened.She went to Gan Laozi Yikuang to cry every day, expressing that if Chen Kuilong must be made Governor of Zhongchuan, he would rather resign than do it.

Chen Kuilong was born in a poor family and a native of Hualan. He made his way to the top by relying on his shrewdness and ability to please his superiors. However, it is unbelievable that this post-Golden official who knows everything about the world is very afraid of his wife.Chen Kuilong had married three wives. The first two died of illness. The last one he married was Xu Xishen, who was from a famous family in Hangzhou, Ningjiang Province. Xu Xishen’s father, Xu Naien, was from Juren. The son-in-law of Yu Yue, an educator, calligrapher and calligrapher.

This Mrs. Xu is generous and well-versed in etiquette. She soon got to know the princes and relatives in the imperial capital. Fujin and Gege from Qimen are also very close to this beautiful lady from the southern country.Soon she and Yikuang's three daughters were called sisters, and they often walked around Prince Qing's Mansion.

Seeing that she was not friendly, Fujin of Yikuang in Prince Qing's mansion recognized her as a goddaughter.And Yikuang is also a master who obeys Fujin's orders. In order to love this Qiangge, Fujin always asks Yikuang to promote his prospective son-in-law.

Chen Kuilong was already afraid of his wife, but after having this relationship, he became even more respectful to Mrs. Xu.After Chen Kuilong was promoted to Governor of Water Transport, he successively served as Governor of Central South, Governor of Jiangbei, Governor of Zhongchuan, Governor of Liangyuan, etc. Mrs. Xu naturally contributed a lot.

Now Gan Gege comes to the house every day to cry and complain, and even several Fujin are complaining in their ears all day long.Yikuang couldn't think about it, so he had no choice but to go up to the empress dowager to transfer Chen Kuilong. He thought that Zhao Shouhong was his own now, so it would be good to give him a convenience.

Chapter 126 Establishment of Electric Factory

Feeling that this was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, Yikui immediately went to the empress dowager, hoping to transfer Chen Kuilong to the governor of Liangyuan, and change the newly appointed governor of Liangyuan, Zhao Erxun, to the governor of Zhongchuan.Such a request has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the empress dowager naturally accepted it.

In history, Chen Kuilong was originally going to be transferred to the governor of Zhongchuan, but Chen Kuilong's governor of Zhongchuan was changed to the governor of Liangyuan without actually taking office.That's because Mrs. Xu heard that Zhongchuan Road is far away, difficult and dangerous, and it is a poor place, so she made it clear that she would not let him take up the post.Chen Kuilong was helpless and did not dare to offend Mrs. Xu, so he had to turn to his father-in-law Yikuang for help. With Yikuang's help, he was finally transferred to the governor of Liangyuan, and Zhao Erxun was replaced as governor of Zhongchuan.As an astonishing coincidence in history, although the reasons are not the same, these post-Golden historical figures have embarked on the same path in the end.

Regardless of who holds what position, anyway, the imperial court has issued a strict order to Xiliang to arrest the bandits within a time limit.Chen Hu and others had already withdrawn. Where did the bandits go to catch them, those Eight Banners soldiers had no choice but to arrest civilians everywhere, even young and old.

Wu Ziyu hated the Eight Banners soldiers for killing good men and taking meritorious service, but with his status, he was powerless to prevent this from happening. He had to restrain his subordinates not to allow the new army to kill good men.These soldiers had already received a good nationalist education in the new barracks, and they were very angry with the actions of these Eight Banners soldiers.Although Wu Ziyu suppressed them and did not allow them to clash with the Eight Banners soldiers, there was some disagreement, but his order not to kill Liang was unanimously approved by everyone.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners already looked down on the Hualan people, but now seeing Wu Ziyu's refusal to join forces, they are naturally even more helpless.Together, the three leaders, in order to prevent Wu Ziyu from revealing that they killed good men and pretended to be meritorious, they first reported that Wu Ziyu's slow march was suspected of collaborating with bandits, while they marched forward bravely and killed countless bandits.

Since Wu Ziyu was recommended by Zhao Shouhong and was also a member of Yuan Kai's Northern New Army, Xiliang could not refute their face, so he just reprimanded Wu Ziyu and praised several participating leaders.Because of killing good men and pretending to be meritorious service, this matter was gradually suppressed, but Wu Ziyu saw through the corruption of the later Jin court.He was completely disappointed with these extremely corrupt post-gold dignitaries. Under the guidance of the officers and soldiers in the new army who had accepted new ideas, he and several other officers from the Northern Territory began to change their minds.

A few days later, an unknown censor suddenly wrote a letter to impeach Liu Hongqi, the guard of Qianwei City, for collaborating with the bandits, and listed his ten crimes with solid evidence.People wondered how these two utterly irreconcilable people could be linked together, but the evidence was undeniable, and even Liu Hongqi's backer in the court could not tell it apart.
