392 Pursuit
"Quick! Keep up! Keep up! Don't let the bandits run away!"
There is a fine hill in the northeast corner of Tianyuan Mountain, and the top of the mountain echoes each other from afar. There is a river called "Deep Water River" here, which runs through a mountain road in eastern Hunan and then flows into the water.
The local area is changed to "pingshui", but this deep water river is probably the same as the Yongle River and has never been peaceful.
It is just a few miles long waterway, and the people drowned every year are comparable to those of Yongle River.
The fine hills in the northern part of the deep water river have not been organized to repair them. In the 302nd year of Zhenguan, you can still see some traces of the beginning of the major projects.
It just started, but it was just an unfinished project.
In a slightly flat place, but there are still mounds, it is a large cemetery, which should have been plagued by someone. There is a reservoir with unfinished projects. A dam is slightly built and some water can be stored.
Locals often regard water as "floating wealth". The ancestral tomb is facing an open water, probably thinking that it can make a fortune.
But this situation may not be blessed by our ancestors.
The defeated soldiers from Chaling County ran wildly and headed straight for the big cemetery.
The one who was chasing An Renxin’s third battalion was the special organization of An Renxin’s righteousness and courage. The organization of An Renxin’s righteousness and courage was very different from the regular army of the Tang army, and it was different from the organization of the rebellion that Wang Jiao had seen in Kill Longgang.
The number of people in each battalion is not fixed, it all depends on the habits of the military chief.
For example, Niu Dashuang, the commander of the Second Battalion, was born into the "Chengdu Luzhongwu Army" and his organization was closer to the Tang army. He used squads as basic units and needed to strengthen firepower, so he merged the squads into squads.
Hu Bing, the commander of the Third Battalion, has been bringing people and fire all year round, and can command all kinds of people and horses together, so in habit, the more you get better, and the more courage you have, the more you have.
Therefore, the establishment of the New Yiyong Third Battalion is composed of four companies, and each company is mainly composed of two hundred people to strengthen the company, and is equipped with the only two machine guns that Wang Jiao has.
Strictly speaking, there are four machine guns, and the other two are planned to be dismantled and copied. Anren County does not have such strength to copy, but workers from Yuzhang County and Nanchang County believe that if they are in Nanchang or Yuzhang, they can easily copy them.
Wang Jiao then left a thought, asking workers to draw drawings first, ordinary bird guns, big guns, and the original Anren Town also had certain conditions for maintenance. If production was to be done, there would be a way to go to Hengyang.
As for machine guns, in Wang Jiao's eyes, it probably has an additional function of continuous shooting.
However, a master from Nanchang said that this is a systematic project. If you want to process and produce, you have to use the processing tools and special equipment controlled by the court.
When Wang Jiao mentioned this, he remembered Brother Liu who had not been in contact for a long time, and he didn't know how Liu Che is now.
If Brother Liu is here, there should be a way to deal with such a thing. Although it is not certain, that's what Wang Jiao thinks.
The only two machine guns left are not assigned at will, and they have a certain degree of mobility during training. They will support any front-line combat unit.
The same is true for those five-jin cannons. Although the barrel diameter of the five-jin cannon is only four centimeters, its power is not small. The five-jin cannons contributed by "Anling Sanren" were originally removed from inland river patrol boats, and there were two semi-automatic super-advanced cannons, but because they did not have the ability to maintain, they were still scrapped in the warehouse.
Wang Jiao has no idea about the range of artillery, but the object used as firepower support for the infantry company is used as the five-pound cannon pulled by the Second Battalion, and it is fine to shoot accurately for three or five hundred meters. The limit distance can hit one thousand meters.
And "Anling Sanren" told him that the scrapped two five-pound cannons could hit 1,800 meters.
This made Wang Jiao feel incredible, because Old Man Qian, Boss Qian with the braised egg head, and the "East Sea Taxation Crew" under his command, the naval guns are obviously not good either?
It feels like... the gap between different regions in a country, like centuries.
When fighting against landlord armed forces in Chaling County and You County, Wang Jiao never worried about losing. Even if it was just a comparison of equipment, the combined number of artillery in these two counties may not be half of his.
The most important thing is that the five-pound cannon he equipped Niu Dashuang with a mule could easily pull it away, while the few city-guarding cannons in Chaling County were not less than 1,500 pounds.
When two armies fight, there is a big difference between having artillery or not, and it is in the sky and under the ground.
"Second Company Commander!!"
"have!"
"I ordered you to lead your troops to Zhoujiawan immediately to block the enemy fleeing south!"
"yes!"
As soon as the Chaling County troops in Yangjiaping broke out, Hu Bing, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion, was not satisfied with the current results. There is no need to think about the escape route of these Chaling County soldiers. It must be the canyon highway between Yunyang Mountain and Tianyuan Mountain.
This highway in Xiangdong has been in disrepair for a long time, but it is still one of the few land passages in Xiangdong that do not take the ferry waterway.
On both sides of the valley, near Yunyang Mountain, there is a settlement called Zhoujiawan. It is mainly because some boatmen live here. There are not many people, but the location is excellent and just stuck in a prominent position.
As long as a blocking line is established, I dare not say that one man is a barrier and cannot open it, but it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as these defeated soldiers cannot rush through, they can only escape to the mountains on both sides.
Going east is a dead end, because going east along the deep river is scattered water. Because of poverty, there are no roads and bridges. Unless you swim across it, you will be unable to escape.
However, it is hard to say that the weather in Hunan is possible. From spring to autumn harvest, it is possible to experience a mountain torrent from time to time.
It was only summer that the water level of the storm not only increased, but also the water flow became much faster.
No matter how good the water is, it is a gamble on life if it goes on.
After looking at the watch, I found that it was already 2:18. The third battalion commander Hu Bing was a little anxious. If the Second Company could intercept the defeated soldiers in Zhoujiawan within twenty minutes, it would be a big victory.
If this group of defeated soldiers were allowed to run out one-tenth of the battle, he felt that he had not fought well.
The new recruits were fighting in one battle and were very excited. After long-term training, at least their physical fitness was quite good. Although the physical fitness distribution seemed a bit too strong, in the face of such a battle, everyone was persisting.
"Report!"
"speak!"
"The bandits in Fengxian Village are moving to the southeastern mountains!"
"The Fengxian Village doesn't mean to approach us?"
"No!"
Wow!
Hu Bing, who is strong and has a bad appearance, has a fat face, and a scar on his left eye. His eyes are hanging, round and big, similar to a tiger.
He shook open a map, Hu Bing looked at the location and shouted: "What kind of dog thing? Friends ran away in trouble. I thought I was going to circumvent the circle, but it turned out that I was going to hide in the 'Cotton'!"
The terrain of this area is clearly understood. As its name suggests, "Cotton Crush" is the most famous cotton-growing area in the nearby villages.
Because of growing cotton, there are many houses. In addition to stocking up cotton, there are also handicrafts for processing cotton. People in nearby villages will take the canyon road and then go to cotton to make cotton quilts, cotton coats, etc.
Most of the houses are on high places and you can go deep into Yunyang Mountain at any time. To be honest, it is indeed a place where there is room for both advance and retreat.
However, after Hu Bing saw through the other party's intentions, his confidence suddenly increased. Since the enemy was frightened, it would be better to let them run away in fear!
