Chapter 54: Hard Steel Red Light Sect Attack Met

With Wu Han handling all the aftermath, things returned to normal very quickly. All the victims were compensated, and the injured were properly treated. A few days later, everything returned to normal. As the New Year approached, the streets were crowded with people, and the place was prosperous. In this operation, 2000 yuan and more than 30 guns were collected from various places.

An urgent document from the county did not arrive until four days later, requiring Wuying Township to immediately suppress the bandits. Yu Yuedong was promoted to the head of the township militia and He Cunyi to the deputy head. He Cunyi's promotion to deputy head was also a credit of 4 oceans. The county would also send people to participate in the suppression of bandits after the New Year.

My father planned to spend the New Year in Wuying this year. He started from Wuying on the 1th day of the twelfth lunar month to go to Banqiao, Lijiahe, and Youfangba to distribute New Year allowances to everyone. Each person received one silver dollar, and in total, more than 500 silver dollars were distributed. If it weren't for killing the Wu family leader at the end of the year,

Fat pigs, they can't even afford a year. Now every time there is a war, there are more guns and less money. Landlords everywhere turn their money into guns and territory.

When he got home, it was already the evening of the 29th. After running around for several days, he was almost exhausted. He went home and fell asleep on his grandfather's warm kang.

During the Chinese New Year, he would go out and play with Sister Yaya. As for the teenagers like Gou Wa and Zhao Rui, he arranged for all their friends to come back to pay tribute to and visit their parents.

They were breaking ice and fishing outside. Yaya also stole a pot and put the fish she caught into the pot to cook. She was blowing the fire with her mouth and he was blowing with a bamboo tube. With a "puff", her face was covered with ash, as if she had been blown up.

"Haha...haha..." He laughed instantly, but he seemed to have no feeling. He touched his face with his hand, and the black and white stripes looked even funnier.

There was no urgent mission during the Chinese New Year this year. The biggest enemy is right next to him, so he has not gone out. He is also planning to set up the 6th team here, with Wang Quan as the team leader and Liu Huadong as the deputy team leader and team leader of the 16th team. The plan is to complete the formation before the end of the month.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Quan brought his team to the Linshui base to start unified training. After the New Year, preparations for spring plowing began everywhere. Only at home did he seem to have nothing to do every day. Generally, military and administrative documents were reviewed by his father, but he would only have a copy of the important ones. Intelligence from all over the country had to be passed to him, so it took him hours to read the documents every day, and the rest of the time he was just hunting birds and fishing everywhere.

Du Chenyu reorganized the functions and roles of each unit: several guard personnel were sent out to serve as squad leaders, and those with higher cultural levels were recruited, such as the guard, which is an officer training group; those with special skills entered the special service team for training, which is the cradle of technical arms; the reconnaissance and communications soldiers are mainly composed of cavalry units and personnel with good endurance, and are the foundation of the intelligence forces.

It was not until the 1914th day of the first lunar month, February 2, 17, that a letter was received from Baizhang County, requesting that Wuyin Township and Banqiao Township gather militia to wipe out the Red Lantern Sect. Guangyuan County sent the Baishuiguan garrison company to participate in the suppression of bandits, and requiring all localities to make every effort to assist and provide logistical support.

Since Li Youtian joined the Red Lantern Sect, the rapidly expanding Shuiguanyin, Lianghekou and the former Xiguanbao Pass area have all been lost since this month. Yu Yuedong had to retreat to the north bank of the Baihe River, and the Migang Road was almost cut off. Li Youtian's wife Ma Dasao is even more of a heroine. She led the church team to cross the snow-covered Guangtou Mountain to occupy Yanjingbao, blocking the western line of the Migang Road. The sphere of influence expanded rapidly. With nearly a thousand people under her command, they were like locusts passing through the border, attacking wealthy families and robbing money. As a result, the roads from Baizhang to Nanzheng County and Ningqiang County were no longer safe, which was also the main reason why the county sent troops to eliminate the Red Lantern Sect.

In order to defeat the Red Lantern Cult, he transferred Hu Laosi's Team 1, He Cunyi's Team 2, and a reconnaissance team of 60 people to Wuying Base, commanded by Hu Laosi. He Cunyi was the deputy regiment commander and was responsible for coordinating all parties and cooperating with the garrison to attack along the river; Xue Chen, Wang Quan, the special service team, and 60 guards accompanied him to cooperate with Yu Yuedong to attack along the river and meet up at Lianghekou. Zhou Kui served as the reserve team. Of course, they were just cooperating and were definitely not the main force.

In order to successfully suppress the bandits, with the assistance of teacher Yang Chaoyi, they also purchased more than 20 guns from the county at a reasonable price, which can be regarded as the county's support for the suppression of bandits.

It was not until March 3 that more than 1 garrison troops from the county arrived in Wuying, led by a member of the Yang family. They were equipped with two machine guns and a mortar, which were powerful weapons for attacking. At present, Guangyuan was still mainly controlled by the Beiyang Army, so the garrison equipment was based on the Beiyang Army configuration and was considered well prepared. In fact, the Sichuan Army was poorly equipped, and the more they fought, the poorer they became, and the more they were prepared.

They planned to rest in Wuying for a day before setting out for battle. In order to receive the news in time, Wang Quan stayed behind. He decided to lead the troops to the ferry and join Zhou Kui. He wanted to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang garrison on the spot. For the attack on Lianghekou, Yu Yuedong would be enough. He was better equipped than them, with two machine guns and several submachine guns, but his number was less than 100. Although they also had light machine guns, he was not going to use them.

At night, Du Chenyu quietly brought the special service team and the guard team to join Hu Laosi's team. He did not intend to show up to the outside world and stayed quietly in the army.

He Cunyi had returned from a meeting at the headquarters. His troops were tasked with attacking from the lower route, Wu Han was on the upper route, and the garrison was on the central route. As the riverside road was narrow and unfavorable for attacking, they took advantage of their large number of guns and concentrated their forces to break through Qingmu Pass, pass through Shuiguanyin Pass, cross Sandaliang, and directly attack Yuanshanping, Li Youtian's old nest, and Hui and Yu Yuedong went up the Baihe River to take Guankou Pass and recapture Xiguanbao.

The next day, Lei Jianqin carried him in a box and he was at the back of the team. Wu Han and his 10-plus men had already set out to explore the way ahead, but since he was the team leader, he had to go in front.

In the middle are the garrison troops, all wearing khaki military caps and uniforms, with cotton-padded jackets underneath. They have a cylindrical cloth bag slung across their right shoulder, which contains dry food and sometimes a quilt. They have a weapons belt in front and several pockets around their waists, which contain grenades and bullets. They all carry Japanese Type 30 rifles, a few of which are Hanyang-made. They wear leggings, grey cloth shoes, and straw sandals on the outside. Their average height is over 1.6 meters, which is obviously taller than their troops, not to mention Wu Han's militia. They hold the five-color flag high, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are in high spirits, well-prepared, and well-trained.

There were about 200 people running on the street, which was also a mighty force. He led the 1st squad, which was also a battle-hardened squad. It was second only to the special forces in frontal combat. He had already sent most of the special forces in advance to investigate the situation. Behind him were the 2nd squad and two sub-teams. One of the sub-teams had blocked the enemy at Qingmu Ya with Wu Han's troops. It took an hour of forced march to reach the ferry, and then half an hour of climbing the mountain to Qingmu Ya. There was a beam separating it from Shui Guanyin, with cliffs above and below and relatively flat steps in the middle. They had more than 1 guards, and there were fortifications built on the beam. This was an excellent defensive position.

Captain Yang, the leader of the team, hid the troops on this side of the ridge and went to the pass to scout the terrain himself. Most of the trees on the other side of the ridge had been cut down, leaving a good shooting range, which was not conducive to a surprise attack.

Captain Yang called a meeting of all the team leaders in a hurry and planned to launch a full-scale attack in three directions according to the original plan. The enemy defense had less than 50 guns, and the scouts came back to report.

After a half-hour break, the attack officially started at 10:30. He saw that there was still 15 minutes of rest time, so he asked the special forces reconnaissance team and the 2nd team to be the first wave of attack. They should not be the first to take down the pass, but they should not be too slow.

When the time came, they went down along the ridge and rushed up from the ravine. Their two teams took cover along the edge of the rocks and advanced in a roundabout way towards the ravine. Although so many people were advancing in a scattered manner, they could not completely hide from the other side. Sure enough, after they walked out of more than ten meters, the other side fired gunshots, firing warning shots.

The pass here is at least 500 meters away from the mountain pass on the opposite side. We can't hit it, but we can see it clearly.

Five minutes later, the first wave of people all entered the ravine, and the second wave continued to follow. Captain Yang followed the second wave and directed the battle. In winter, all the leaves had fallen, and the good vision made it easy to see the team members who were climbing up.

The first to engage in fire were the troops stationed in the middle, who attacked from the front from the avenue at a fast speed.

"Da da... da da..." Both sides were testing the attack.

The next exchange of fire was with Wu Han's troops on the upper road. They were close to the enemy and two minutes later, they were also discovered by the enemy on the lower road and began to fire back.

As the second wave of people approached, the intensity of the attack increased. The garrison had already reached a position of 200 meters. The Type 30 rifle was prepared as a Japanese rifle. It had 6.65mm bullets, high accuracy, and long range. The advantages were instantly exerted. Most of the enemies were using old sleeves. Although they were powerful, their accuracy at a distance of 200 meters in the hands of a group of ordinary people was simply appalling.

He gave their reconnaissance team and half of their attack troops Mauser rifles, which had a longer range than the old chambered rifles.

After several waves of exploratory attacks, three bursts of "boom, boom, boom" mortar fire were fired, and the Red Lantern Sect's log fortifications at the pass were blown away.

Then, a string of grenades flew over, raising dust, and "da da da..." the machine gun finally opened fire. The command of this attack can be said to be textbook. Although it was not particularly outstanding, all the steps were carried out step by step, the timing was also remarkable, and the advantages of the weapons were fully utilized.

From the point of fire, the enemy began to retreat, and the smoke in the middle road had rushed to 30 meters away from the pass. Suddenly, a fire broke out at the pass. In order to rush over before the fire covered it, the troops in front sped up. "Boom." There was an explosion in the middle of the fire. In an instant, several soldiers in front were killed.

"Oh, retreat quickly!" Captain Yang shouted when he saw this scene. At least three of his brothers were blown away. He also shouted in pain. His strength was greatly damaged before the anti-bandit campaign even started. How could he explain to the county?
