Chapter 250 The new owner of New China Island (4)
The chapters that are updated in the middle of the night are usually anti-daoban chapters. I have tried to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching them at this time. △¢Generally, anti-daoban chapters will be modified to the correct content at least half an hour.
It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.
At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.
There are few people reading niche books, and daoban is rampant. There is no way, I can't make it if I don't do this, I'm sorry.

"Shh..." A sharp whistle sounded, and more than 300 soldiers from Dong Xueli's troops who were resting and resting jumped up, and then began to form a combat team with more than ten people under the command of grassroots officers, and approached the Qing army's positions along the excavated trenches.
Each combat team has a complete range of troops, including shotguns (using captured shotguns), rattan players (part-time melee swordsman), spearmen (wearing leather armor, using East Coast standard spear), archers, etc. After the East Coast army reorganized them, these troops were added with armored grenades. In general, compared with the Qing army's green camp, Dong Xueli's unit has made great progress in tactical thinking at least.
In addition, this army soldier originated in Ningxia Prefecture, Shaanxi Province is resistant to war by nature. Although he has various bad habits of the old army, his appearance has changed greatly after being trained by the East Coast Advisory Group. The combat power of each ministry (including Chen Zhilong, Zhai Congyan, Qin Shangxing, Du Chong, Ding Mingwu, Xie Qian and other departments, and seven departments) is firmly ranked first in combat, and is much stronger than the second-ranked Zhai Congyan's army. You should know that the equipment and training time of the three or four thousand people in Zhai Congyan's army are better than that of Dong Xueli's army. This shows that Dong Xueli's ability to govern the army and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in this unit.
Dong Xueli is indeed quite popular with Mao Desheng now. Although this person was born as a surrendered general, he knew very well and knew what he should do and what he should not do. Whenever he broke through enemy cities and executed wounded soldiers of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, Dong Xueli never shirked his responsibilities, but personally supervised his personal soldiers to carry out the execution. When the arrested Qing army generals were sentenced to death, the officers and soldiers of the Dong army also participated in the execution many times, and the female relatives of the Qing court were mostly rewarded to the Dong army for meritorious battles. It can be said that Dong Xueli's entire army had basically no chance of reconciliation with the Qing court now. It is nothing more. The grudges he had made with the Qing court were too great and it was impossible to turn back.
For people like Dong Xueli who are tactful (I gave the palace maids of the Heng Palace to Mo Dashui), Mao Desheng was generously rewarded. For example, he approved 300 sets of armor that were equipped with only the regular army of the East Coast to Dong Xueli in one breath, and two hundred high-quality muskets were also provided for Dong Xueli's personal army. Ordinary soldiers of the Dong army also filled out the equipment (leather armor, produced in Jeju Island Ranch). There was no shortage of supplies on weekdays. The salmon, saury and other marinated products provided in this part every month were 20% more than other parts. What's more, Mao Desheng also distributed a batch of canned meat to Dong army (a jar, 7.5 kg per jar, beef or moose products, divided into braised and old sauerkraut). It can be said that he is very popular.
Dong Xueli was treated like this and naturally understood what to do. Therefore, when he was advancing westward from Anqiu and Weishui, the Dong army marched the fastest and led his troops to clear a Qing army fortress outside Yidu County, which was the first shot in the battle. When Ding Mingwu's army failed to attack the fortress on the mountain and suffered heavy losses, Dong Xueli's army was transferred to join other troops to participate in the attack on these stubborn strongholds of the Qing army.
At this time, the artillery on the east coast had already brought the artillery closer and targeted the camps that the Qing army had renovated in several months. At this time, if you look from the mountains in the distance, you will find that in the vast fields, a ball of white smoke rose from time to time. It was the artillery of the East Coast Army. Sometimes the shells fired by some long-barrel large-caliber artillery fell on the Qing army's positions, and the mountains and rocks suddenly collapsed in the middle, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
Dong Xueli's troops had already changed into the east coast's yellow military uniform, which was very close to the color of the land in the sun. They hung around their waists with cowhide water bags eliminated by the East Coast Army (the regular troops had been replaced with thick glass water bottles), and there were some wheat cakes, dried fish and other dry food. The team was moving very quickly, and there was an open land in front of them. The remaining armored soldiers of the Qing army shot at them with precise bows and arrows. Sometimes a very well-hidden Fran cannon was brought out to shoot at them, which caused the casualties of the troops to begin to increase sharply.
If it were in the past, the soldiers on the east coast could slowly remove these enemy strongholds under the cover of artillery, but at this moment, they would not care about so much in order to seize time, so they could only let the servants fill in the lives of their men. They were doing this job, and they also had this enlightenment at this time.
After the departure of the Dong army, more than 400 people under Qin Shangxing quickly replaced the position where they set out. These people were all lined up in the field at this time, and they were doing military training with the officer's orders - it was probably the last training in their lives for many of them. According to the plan, they would soon be put into battle. Whether the more than 300 people in Dongxue's Li team successfully conquered the Qing army's position or were dispersed and defeated, they would rush forward without hesitation.
None of the new people in Qin Shangxing's troops were new, but at this moment, facing the strangulation of life and death, everyone was still nervous and breathless, so that the officers had to organize soldiers to train at the request of the East Coast military adviser to divert their attention. While waiting for the departure, they will practice all the movements and precautions that must be kept in mind to welcome the next rain of bullets.
The East Coast Military Advisory Group has successfully transformed the Qin Shangxing Department for many years. Although this army of thousands is still an old army, it has initially possessed the characteristics of a professional army in many aspects. Military training is becoming increasingly scientific and orderly, and the soldiers are also fully supplemented with nutrition, and their combat effectiveness is increasing day by day. They are the capital for the East Coast people to gallop across Shandong.
The sound of shelling stopped. More than 300 people from Dong Xueyi's Ministry of Rites braved the Qing army's arrows and lead bullets, crossed the obstacles set by the Qing army, and then rushed to the position guarded by the Qing army. The armored grenades threw bombs with their hands lit the lead and smashed them wildly above the head of the Qing army. The rattan player held up his shield and crashed into the Qing army's bust. The spearman followed behind and poked. The small officer at the bottom used his rich combat experience to command, and the bird gunners and archers followed behind and shot freely.
The battle had turned into a chaotic battle. The Qing army, which had been bombarded by artillery, was at the end of its strength, and was beaten by hundreds of soldiers from Dong Xueli's army who were as powerful as a tiger, and was immediately unable to support it. Some green camp soldiers threw away the heavy weapons in their hands and turned back. Some Eight Banners soldiers in the camp roared at them, but no one paid attention to them. On the contrary, they were quickly attacked by the soldiers from Dong Xueli's army.
What a joke! Kill a real Tartar, grant thirty acres of land, and there are houses, livestock and women. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world? At this moment, seeing dozens of Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers in cotton armor in the position, the soldiers of Dong Xueyi’s troops were no longer afraid, because what they saw was not the “invincible” Jurchen elites, but the human-shaped money cabinets shining with golden light!
The battle ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. More than 400 people from Qin Shangxing's troops came up to reinforce and together with hundreds of Dong Xueli's troops, they wiped out all the six or seven hundred Qing troops guarding the mountain positions. In this vast valley, nearly 10,000 East Coast soldiers did the same thing under the cover of artillery. The Qing army guarding this series of camps was defeated by the attack of the East Coast army. More than 7,000 Qing troops, including one thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, were wiped out by most of them, and the rest were all dispersed and disappeared. In order to seize the thorns behind the main force, the East Coast army also suffered more than 4,000 casualties, which shows the cruelty of the battle.
After seizing these Qing army fortresses that blocked the East Coast army for five days, Mao Desheng simply moved the command center to one of the villages overlooking the entire Yidu city. He was very surprised by the unexpected tenacious resistance of the Qing army, but it was obviously not the time to dig the ground, so he quickly ordered that all the troops launch an attack on Yidu County as planned. In addition, all 3,300 cavalry of the cavalry corps were required to intercept possible reinforcements from the enemy and the enemy troops who fled out of the city. As for the elite public security scouts, they were also asked to expand the search scope and closely monitor the movements of various Qing troops.
The battles to attack Yidu County were much larger than before, with a total of about 20,000 soldiers being included in the battle sequence. In addition to these infantry, more than 3,000 cavalry and 24 artillery were also put into battle. Outside the battlefield, more than 20,000 soldiers, with the help of mules, horses and carts, drove various supplies - especially gunpowder - to the front line through the muddy snow, which also led to large-scale non-combat reductions in military personnel.
According to incomplete statistics, in the battle against Yidu County, about 721 soldiers died in combat (mainly death from illness), a total of 1,908 people moved into field ambulance centers, and a large number of mules and horses fell on the way, and gunpowder accumulated on the horse island for several months was swept away.
With the support of the soldiers and their husbands, the East Coast Army, with sufficient logistics, launched a tide-like offensive to Yidu County, where the Qing army was huddled. Every time the terrifying long-barrel siege heavy artillery fired a shell, the soldiers on the East Coast around cheered collectively, while the Qing army opposite was looking like earth.
After being urgently reinforced, the city wall of Yidu County could not withstand the violent bombardment of the giant cannons on the east coast. After three days of artillery attack, the city wall on the south side collapsed six or seven feet. The East Coast army, which had long been boosted by the power of the giant cannons, immediately attacked and advanced towards the collapse of the city wall under the cover of light field artillery.
On the morning of March 10, after a fierce night of fighting, the First Regiment of the Stand-Up Team, under the command of Captain Zhang Xudong, defeated the Qing army that was blocked by many blocking forces and successively conquered the government, county, Changpingcang and other places. Tong Yangliang, the general of the Qing army guarding Qingzhou City, led his troops to break through at night, but most of them were wiped out in the field, and only a few successfully escaped.
The 18,000 Qing soldiers, including 2,000 Manchu and Mongolian officers and soldiers, relying on the solid city that had been built for several months, only blocked the east coast army for 11 days. At this time, it was basically smooth all the way from Qingzhou to Jinan, and the situation in Shandong deteriorated again!
