I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

Chapter 58: Cleaning up the battlefield and unifying three places

"Niu Wa Zi, why don't you put down your weapons quickly? Don't you want your twins and your pretty wife? You still want to resist. Yu Yuedong is dead." Hu Lao Si looked at the eldest of the Huang family in Linshui Village who was hiding in the crowd. Everyone called him "Niu Wa Zi". They knew Hu Lao Si since childhood, but they didn't have much contact because of their different family backgrounds. The Huang family was also a small landlord with about 10 acres of land.

"Brothers, let's lay down our weapons. Now that the regiment leader is gone, there's no need for us to risk our lives. Teacher Du is a very nice person and won't make things difficult for us." The one called Niu Wazi began to persuade everyone to surrender.

It seems that he has studied in a school and his father has taught him. If he has good character, he can be accepted in the future.

Following the persuasion of the eldest brother of the Huang family, everyone gave up resistance, but there were still a few people who were unwilling to do so. They looked at Yu Yuedong's body and cried softly. It seems that a qualified leader will have a few loyal followers.

However, the most miserable one was Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, he was only accompanied by an eunuch. This was the final outcome of being a mean and ungrateful person.

There were 28 soldiers left in the Yu family militia. After they all surrendered, their hands were tied behind their backs. They cleaned up the battlefield and set out again, starting the second phase of the "Pig Killing Plan."

Xue Chen immediately took over Yu Yuedong's camp, where there were several wounded soldiers and logistics personnel, and took good care of the prisoners.

The rest continued on their journey. He Chaowu had already led the team to chase into Baihe Dam. This place used to be the seat of Xiguanbao Township Office, a 3-kilometer-long and 3-4-meter-wide mountain plain with about 100 families living there. There was a river near the foot of the mountain on the right, but there was no water. The riverbed was covered with white pebbles. There was water only in the flood season in summer. The water gradually disappeared at the dam head during the dry season, and gradually flowed out from the riverbed under Baishuliang downstream, so this place was called Baihe Dam.

There is another legend about Baiheba. It is said that in ancient times, a Taoist priest traveled here and saw the surrounding mountains like pen tips, stacked up layer by layer, and the trees like jade belts, winding around the peaks, one circle after another, just like a fairy wearing an embroidered horse-faced skirt, hiding her face in the sunset. However, he saw the rolling river at the foot of the mountain, blocking his way and preventing him from meeting the fairy. Shui Jue was angry and immediately cast a spell, tapping the ground three times with a floating dust, and the river water disappeared instantly.

Of course, this is just a legend. This is a typical Koster landform. The water flowed away from the underground river below. Below Baishuliang is the granite crust, and there is no underground river, so the water flows out.

Back to the topic, Luo Feng ran over breathlessly to report that the enemy had all evacuated Baiheba, and Captain He was still leading the team in pursuit, so he was sent to report the situation.

They walked all the way inside and introduced their roundabout breakthrough.

They reached the top of the mountain yesterday afternoon. In order not to alert the enemy, they spent the night in a cave. Today, at three o'clock in the morning, they launched a surprise attack on the defensive checkpoints on the way down the mountain. The special forces team killed more than 10 guards without firing a single shot. After taking down the checkpoint, they ate dry food at the checkpoint and interrogated the prisoners. They learned that the code for meeting at each checkpoint was "New Year, no meat". They rested for half an hour and then set out in dark. They successfully took down several checkpoints along the way down the mountain.

As a result, the code words did not match when entering the camp. Later we learned that they had different codes for the inner circle and the outer circle. To enter the inner circle from the outer circle, a liaison officer was needed to lead the way, and the outermost personnel did not know this, so after the other party gave two codes, they immediately opened fire to warn them and had to attack by force. The Molotov cocktails were both offensive weapons and lighting lamps. Under the machine gun fire, the other party could only retreat in panic, but they covered the fortifications along the way, and nearly half of them escaped safely.

There were still some sporadic gunshots ahead, and the pursuers were still clearing out the remaining enemies. The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the sun had already dyed the mountainside red. The straight peaks and smooth rock walls were like pyramids, reflecting the light and making the road in the canyon covered with a layer of golden light, welcoming their triumphant warriors into the city. At this moment, he was not in the backpack, but riding on a small donkey, moving forward slowly.

This "killing two birds with one stone" battle not only defeated the Red Lantern Cult, the biggest enemy, but also eliminated Yu Yuedong by taking advantage of the opportunity, and completed the unification of the three forts of Wuying, Banqiao and the former Xiguan in the upper reaches of the Donghe River. They were finally considered a small force in the Baizhang area.

However, looking at the dilapidated thatched huts on both sides, a few brave old men wearing sackcloth strips were barefoot on the icy ground, picking up firewood. Half of the huts had no lights on. The Xiguan area had been attacked by bandits and the Red Lantern Sect many times, and less than half of the population remained, most of whom were the elderly, women, and children.

It is easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it. I will make sure they have food to eat and shoes to wear in the winter, he made a secret decision.

Looking at the only tiled house in the whole fort, this was the original compound of the Zhang family landlords and also the fort government office.

A courtyard house is located in the middle of the dam, facing east and west, with its back against a straight mountain and facing the Baihe River. It is a Feng Shui treasure land with a jade belt wrapped around its waist.

When we entered the compound, we found quite a bit of food, about 4 to 5 kilograms, but no other valuables.

After looking around, they set up camp in the yard and began to arrange the next step of work. He asked Zhou Kui and Xue Chen to lead the team to Linshui, Taiyang and Dashuping immediately to wipe out the remaining forces of Yu Yuedong as quickly as possible.

The rest of the personnel continued to clear out the remaining forces of the Red Lantern Cult and drove them into the Qingmu Cave Mountain.

Du Chenyu temporarily stationed his guard team in the Xiguan area to clean up the battlefield, put out forest fires, treat the wounded, and comfort the people.

He paid people with food and gathered dozens of civilians to help put out the forest fire from Lianghekou to Guankouya, bury the bodies, bury the victims separately, and build a cemetery.

At night, the pursuit troops reported back their battle situation, saying that they did not encounter a large group of troops and that the overall situation was smooth. However, the remaining forces of the Red Lantern Cult were fiercely blocking Huaqiao Rock, which was a narrow terrain that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and could not be broken through for the time being.

The next day, the attacking troops were withdrawn from Huaqiaoyan. The mountain was full of strange rocks and the roads were steep. It was impossible to hide hundreds of people there. They would disappear into the sea without a trace.

A simple meeting was held in the morning to summarize the battle. In the seven days before and after the battle, 7 Red Lantern bandits were eliminated and 253 were captured, including some wounded, most of whom were local youths. 239 guns were seized, including more than 126 guns from Yu Yuedong's team, of course, Yu Yuedong's two Czech light machine guns, and 50 Madsen light machine guns (Madsen light machine gun: an automatic weapon developed by a Danish Army lieutenant, Jean Theodore Scobo, in 3, but essentially an automatic rifle, later selected by the official, and improved to become a machine gun). Fortunately, the 1890*7.92mm bullet was used for export to my country, otherwise the original bullet would not be available. It must be said that Yu Yuedong's team is well-equipped, surpassing the regular army, but these machine guns and automatic rifles have not yet been used to expand his territory. In the past six months, he has been restrained by the Red Lantern Cult, and finally favored him.

The overall casualties were not great, with 16 casualties and 18 casualties from Wu Han's army, which was considered a slight loss of vitality. The main force of the Red Lantern Cult was still defeated by Yu Yuedong and the regular army, and they just took advantage of the situation.

Everything in Xiguan area is on track, food and land are distributed, and militia reserves are formed. Hu Laosi has led his team away. He cannot leave Lianghuisi base for too long. It is their frontline area and they must maintain their military advantage.
