"Don't move, I'll kill anyone who runs again! Get down on the ground! Hold your head with both hands!" Liu Sheng killed a Qing soldier wearing a bright yellow vest with a single shot, and then raised his gun at the surrounded enemies. There were two more shots at his feet.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Master, please spare your life!"
…
More than 400 captured civilian husbands, soldiers and several Han army gunners knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Yaichiro pulled the bayonet on the gun to the halfway position, shook his hands hard, and the bright bayonet was thrown out. He learned this skill from Wang Yuanfang, and it took him several days of practice to get the hang of it.
"Get down! Put your head in your hands!"
When his soldiers saw it, they also pulled out their bayonets, pointed them at the prisoners, and shouted together.
The prisoners were trembling with fear from the bayonets surrounding them. They lay on the ground one after another, holding their heads in their hands and not daring to move. Liu Sheng squinted at the money rat tail on the ground! He couldn't help but curse: "It's so ugly!"
At this time, Wu Siyu came with his men. Liu Sheng told him a few words, waved, and headed west with Jiuzang's company. Serdan and Erlu took a look and hurriedly chased after him.
As the gunfire gradually subsided, the battle that lasted for a day and nearly wiped out an entire company finally came to an end.
Wang Yuanfang saw that Zhao Xin was busy treating the wounded and did not care about anything else, so he said to Ding Guofeng who was sitting under the tree drinking water: "Guofeng, I have a task for you."
Ding Guofeng was also exhausted. He put down the kettle and stood up, shouting "Here we come!"
"Go to Wu Siyu and ask for a platoon to go back with you. First, inform Lao Chen and prepare some shovels and picks to bring over; second, bring the other 1,500 recruits to clean the battlefield; third, let Doctor Hong and his wife came over with their men to help Zhao Xin deal with the wounded. There were too many wounded, and he couldn't handle them at all."
Ding Guofeng repeated Wang Yuanfang's explanation, then saluted and turned to find Wu Siyu to ask for someone.
Wang Yuanfang turned his head and looked around. The scene was a bit chaotic now, and many soldiers didn't know what to do. Some of them have actually started to clean the battlefield and search the belongings of the dead soldiers. He quickly said to Elu who was guarding Zhao Xin: "Elu, go and chase Mr. Liu back! Just say it's my order! Shoushan, go and invite Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang right away."
"Go. You two can't help me much here." Zhao Xin, who was bandaging the soldier's wounds, said calmly without looking back.
Elu and Lu Shoushan stood at attention, saluted, and left immediately.
Ten minutes later, Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang came over, but Liu Sheng had not returned yet. When the two of them saw Wang Yuanfang's dark face, what was going on in their minds? After asking, I found out that the two companies led by the old squad leader had suffered too many casualties.
The company led by Torayoshi suffered more than thirty casualties, while Katsu Kaishu's company, including himself, only had a dozen people left standing in the end, and all of them were defeated. Katsu Kaishu was stabbed on the left shoulder. The incision was not deep, but there was a lot of blood. In the excitement of hand-to-hand combat at first, he didn't realize it at all. When Zhao Xin brought people over and started treating the wounded, he realized that he was injured.
Wu Siyu patted Wang Yuanfang on the shoulder and comforted: "Squad leader, don't think too much. This is our first time, so it is inevitable. These 'soldiers' have to continue training when we go back!"
Wang Yuanfang said with a dark face: "I have asked Ding Guofeng to go back and call for people. We don't need to worry about cleaning the battlefield. Now someone has begun to search for the property of the Qing army. You must reiterate the three major disciplines and eight principles to the soldiers below. Attention! Violators...will be dismissed from the military and sent back to the island country!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Siyu and Zhao Liang quickly stood at attention and saluted. He said: "Yes!"
"Siyu, take a company to check the dead and wounded on the battlefield. Send all the injured and alive..." Wang Yuanfang raised his eyes and looked at the Qing army's camp, pointed to the position of the handsome tent in the center of the camp and said, "Everyone is here." Send them there. Anyone who resists will be shot!"
"Zhao Liang, take a dozen people to search the big tent to see if there are any letters or other things that have been preserved."
Zhao Liang asked: "Where to put the things found?"
Zhao Xin stood up and said: "Put the letters and seals in the patrol boat on the beach. Don't worry about the others."
In the ancient army, there was also a dedicated person responsible for cleaning the battlefield. Treat your own wounded, search for surviving enemy troops hiding in hiding, count seized materials and official documents, recover weapons, and dispose of corpses.
Wang Yuanfang is currently arranging the first three tasks. As for the last two, we will wait until Chen Qingsong brings someone here.
None of the six members of the security department had any experience in large-scale battles. When Liu Sheng and others joined the army, they were only soldiers responsible for reconnaissance and special operations. Wang Yuanfang was the squad leader. When I joined the army in the past, it was not their turn to be responsible for these things.
Wang Yuanxiang asked Zhao Xin: "Look what else is missing?"
Zhao Xin looked at the wounded soldiers who had been bandaged with tourniquets and preliminary bandages everywhere. He rubbed the back of his neck and said, "The environment and sunlight here are not good. Call those who can move to help lift all the wounded soldiers." Go to the Qing army camp."
It is said that battlefield rescue is really not something that can be handled with just a little knowledge of first aid. A large number of injuries and bleeding are often an important reason for combat attrition. If the tourniquet is insufficient, acupressure is the key method to stop bleeding.
But how could Zhao Xin understand this? He could only rely on his poor first aid knowledge to deal with the wounded. Fortunately, every soldier received a first-aid kit before setting off, so Zhao Xin first used the tourniquet in the first-aid kit to tie the area near the wound, and then simply bandaged it with gauze.
As for the several broken limbs and fractures, Zhao Xin really couldn't deal with them. So everyone could only make a simple stretcher out of tree branches and carry these people down the mountain.
When Lu Shoushan helped transfer the wounded soldiers to the Qing army camp, he saw that all the prisoners in the northeast corner of the camp had been tied up. Pan Xiucheng was leading his men to connect the tied prisoners together with ropes.
"Okay, Xiucheng! What do you think of this move?"
Pan Xiucheng said with a smile: "Shoushan, have you forgotten? When we first arrived at Ninggu Pagoda, weren't we all tied up in a bunch like this before going out to work?"
Lu Shoushan slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!"
While the two were talking, several of the prisoners raised their heads and looked at Lu Shoushan in surprise.
"Brother Lu?" a young prisoner asked tentatively.
"Who are you?" Lu Shoushan took two steps forward, looked at the prisoner with a muddy face, and asked doubtfully.
"I'm Zhang Fang!" The young man looked eager and struggled to get up. A soldier next to him raised the butt of his gun and gave it a shot to his stomach. The young man was immediately breathless from the pain, bent over and knelt on the ground, moaning uncontrollably.
"Zhang Fang?" Lu Shoushan shouted in surprise.
Two hours later, Ding Guofeng returned to Beihai Town with a platoon of soldiers. He came to the Xila River and turned on the walkie-talkie to call Chen Qingsong.
"Old Chen! We have won! You hurry up and cross the river! It's over."
After Ding Guofeng finished speaking, he heard no response from the walkie-talkie. He was about to say it again when he heard a huge cheer from the top of the hill opposite.
"Long live! Long live!" This is the refugee.
"Yeah~~! We won!" This is Liu Siting.
"Good guy! Director Liu's voice is really penetrating." Ding Guofeng thought to himself.
"Old Chen! Old Chen!"
"Ah, I'm here! It's over."
"Hurry up and lead 1,500 soldiers across the river with Katayama. Your help is needed on the battlefield! Hurry!"
…
The battle didn't last long, but the work of cleaning the battlefield was busy from noon until late at night.
Doctor Hong and his wife, together with more than 20 female caregivers, took all the wounded and the soldiers who died in Beihai Town on the Thor and returned to Beihai Town in the first batch.
After Chen Qingsong and Katayama Kanbei arrived with more than a thousand recruits, they swept away all the captured materials in the Qing army camp; they took away everything they could.
Several warships on the beach were still burning until nightfall. Those warships that sank into the sea were not easy to salvage, so they were ignored for the time being. But the broken limbs and severed bodies on the shore that had been smashed by M2HB made Chen Qingsong and his gang terrified; many recruits vomited on the spot.
Having no other choice, Katayama Kanbei led more than a hundred people to hastily dig a large pit on the west side of the Qing army camp, and first buried these body parts and the Qing soldiers who died in the battle. Then they escorted the remaining supplies back to Beihai Town via the mountain road.
As for Hailancha who was killed by Wang Yuanfang and another general who was killed by an unknown person, Zhao Xin arranged for several people to dig two graves, bury them separately and mark them.
In any case, Hailancha also fought against the Burmese invasion. From the perspective of another time and space, this man can be considered a good man and deserves respect.
Liu Sheng led two platoons and chased them westward for more than ten miles, and finally got lost in the mountains and forests! If Elu hadn't found them by looking for footprints, I really don't know what the consequences would have been.
On the second day after returning to Beihai Town, Zhao Xin convened a plenary meeting. Everyone reported on the matters they were responsible for.
Hong Tao rubbed his red eyes and took a notebook to talk about the casualties.
"Fifty-five people were killed in Beihai Town, 16 were seriously injured, and 11 were slightly injured. Among the dead, thirty were killed by bows and arrows; two were killed by shelling; and twenty-two were killed by sharp weapons such as knives or spears. die.
Among the seriously injured, five were hit by bows and arrows in vital parts, and the other eleven were cut or stabbed with sharp weapons. As for minor injuries, there were many causes. Some suffered sprained feet while marching, some were injured by knives, and two were injured by matchlock guns of the Qing army. "
Wang Yuanfang lowered his head and said nothing, while Liu Sheng and others looked at each other in confusion. Eighty-two people were killed and wounded, almost a company! .
Zhao Xin thought depressedly, wouldn't it be necessary to prepare iron masks and stab-proof uniforms for soldiers in the future?
Next, Chen Qingsong reported the situation, and there were a lot of things on his side. Including the number of corpses of Qing soldiers inspected, and the seizure of weapons and supplies.
"...including fifteen artillery pieces, five large muskets, 480 matchlocks, and 200 handguns; other bows and arrows, knives, various long guns, cannonballs, gunpowder, flags, tents, tables, chairs, and benches There are a lot of them, and they are still being counted. There are also 367 Mongolian horses, but according to the captured grooms, many of the horses have broken away from their reins and ran away because they were frightened."
Zhang Bo raised his hand and asked: "Old Chen, how much money was seized?"
"Uh... I'm still counting this. Shen Jingdan and Huang Maocai are also helping to count. It should be about 20,000 taels. Shen Jingdan said that these silver coins are intended to be used to reward the Qing soldiers after the war."
Everyone had no idea about silver, so they all planned to take a look after the meeting.
Chen Qingsong continued: "There is another problem, which is the sunken ship on the beach. Mr. Zhao told me that every big ship has two cannons, and they must be pulled back. In the next few days, the reclamation and building of houses will have to be put on hold. Fang, the road between the two places is really difficult, we have to build a road to get there anyway."
Hong Tao and his wife, Liu Zheng and Zhang Bo didn't have any objections to this matter. Anyway, they all lived on the boat at night.
Wang Yuanfang suddenly said: "Pull the artillery back and study it carefully first, including those matchlock guns and bows and arrows. We must find out what the effective attack distance of these weapons is!"
Finally, there is Wu Siyu, who is responsible for reporting on the situation of the prisoners.
"The total number of prisoners was six hundred. These included the thirty-seven we found later when we inspected the soldiers from both sides who died in the battle. Of these, five hundred and three were Han Chinese..."
"Han people?! How can there be Han people?" Hong Tao and others looked at Wu Siyu in surprise.
"When Wu Siyu finishes speaking, I will answer you." Zhao Xin said calmly.
"Among the five hundred and three, there are 106 musketeers from Jilin, and the remaining 397 are Han slaves from Ningguta. Of the remaining 97, most of them are armored soldiers from Jilin, and some Six Manchus from Beijing. Among them is one who he said is Qianlong's second-class bodyguard..."
When everyone heard it, yo! What a great master there is! You have to take a look now.
"...Now all the prisoners are under the custody of our soldiers and the public security police of Katayama Kanbei. The location is..."
"It goes without saying. You can just ask me in private." Zhao Xin raised his hand to interrupt Wu Siyu. He took a sip of water and glanced around at everyone present with a serious face.
"As for the Han slaves, let me give you a warning first. Don't think that all the Manchu slaves were liberated directly by us and are worthy of our sympathy.
I may not sound good when I say this, but this is proven by historical data! I will show you some interrogation records later, and then you will understand what I mean. "
"Mr. Zhao, I don't want to hear what you are saying! The Han people are all our compatriots, and we have the obligation to rescue them! Why do we still treat them like prisoners?!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Liu Zheng who made the comment. The young man has been taking good care of the horses since he arrived. Sometimes I also help Hong Tao and Liu Siting to deal with some trauma.
"Mr. Zhao, I think what you are doing is wrong." Hong Tao adjusted his glasses and expressed a different opinion.
"Okay. Since you want to know, I'll tell you my reasons." Zhao Xin explained with a smile.
