Chapter 220 The Battle of Qingdao (4)

When Chen Deye led the People's Army to Xiaozhai, he was shocked Jiang Haidong, Yang Jie and Zhang Shuo. He thought it was the officers and soldiers who came to capture him, and wanted to fight to the death with swords, guns and weapons. ¥f Dingdian Novel,... But after a closer look, he found that this army was not the Qing army. Their uniforms were very strange, and everyone was equipped with foreign guns. They were somewhat similar and not exactly the same as the foreign army. However, these soldiers were definitely Chinese, so several people were a little confused and could not figure out where the army came from.

However, the actions of this army were completely different from those of the Qing army and foreigners. Most of the soldiers stayed outside the village, with regulations and evidence, and they did not rob or take them. Only four or five people came in. They were also very polite, indicating that they were coming to the village to find a guide, hoping that someone could take them to Hualou Peak.

After two years of boxing, Jiang Haidong and others had some knowledge. Seeing that the other party was gentle and spoke Shandong dialect, they dispelled some doubts, so they plucked up the courage to ask Chen Deye, what to do in Hualou Peak?

Chen Deye did not hide it, and said bluntly that he wanted to fight the German army. At the same time, he also introduced his identity, a Chinese who returned to China from overseas. He is now the People's Army, and has captured Tianjin, defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, and captured Weihaiwei. Now he is going to Jiao to fight the German devils.

Of course, Jiang Haidong and others did not believe that they had captured Tianjin and defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, but knew that they were going to attack the German army, and they all felt energetic. Although they hid in the mountains, their hatred towards foreigners was not eliminated. Of course, they also had a hostile attitude towards the Qing court. Moreover, the three of them hid in Laoshan for several months and were familiar with the geography of this area. Jiang Haidong's cousin Liu Zonghai was a native native, and he could be said to be able to act in Laoshan with his eyes closed. So the four decided to act together, lead the way for the People's Army and take a detour to Hualou Peak.

After finding four guides, Chen Deye was naturally very happy, so he asked about their names and identities. Of course, Jiang Haidong didn't dare to tell Chen Deye that he was once a member of the Boxer Rebellion and only said that he was a local. So Chen Deye gave them a few taels of silver and a few bags of dry food as a reward.

So that night, the four of them took Chen Deye's company and set off overnight and detoured to Hualou Peak. Fortunately, Liu Zonghai was very familiar with the roads in Laoshan. Although it was in the dark, there were not many difficulties. In the early morning, he finally arrived at the back mountain of Hualou Peak, which was only 2 or 3 kilometers away from the German position.

The soldiers seized the time to sleep and rest, and Chen Deye also talked to Jiang Haidong and others for a while, introducing them in detail the past achievements of the Time Traveler. Although Jiang Haidong and others were still half-believing, it was also certain that this army was indeed not related to the court, so the three of them became brave and told them about their previous experiences of joining the Boxer Rebellion.

The next day, Luo Yue commanded the People's Army to launch a frontal attack on the German position, and Chen Deye also led the company to fight from behind the German position. Jiang Haidong and others hid in the woods behind Hualou Peak. Listening to the loud gunshots on the mountain, he felt uneasy. He didn't know what the situation was going on on the mountain. If this group of troops who claimed to be overseas Chinese could defeat foreigners.

Not long after, a few people saw some foreign soldiers running down the mountain in a very embarrassed manner. Many of them were injured, and some even lost their military caps and rifles. No matter how they looked, they looked like they were defeated.

However, a few people still hide in the woods and dare not even show off their anger. It is hard to believe that this group of people really defeated the foreigners. Although the Boxer Rebellion aims to counter the foreigners, they can only show off their power in front of foreign missionaries. When they encounter real foreigners, they don’t need to be foreigners’ army. Even if they encounter regular Qing troops, they will lose more than they win. Although this army is very different from the Qing army, they are also composed of Chinese people after all. Can they really defeat foreigners?

After a while, there was no movement, and even the gunshots on the mountain stopped, and the few people were at a loss. However, Jiang Haidong, Yang Jie, and Zhang Shuo had worked in the Boxer Rebellion, had fought several battles with the officers and soldiers, and had become much more courageous. Although Liu Zonghai had never had a group, he was also a hunter. Naturally, the timid people could not do hunter work. So the few people discussed briefly and finally came out of the woods with courage and stepped onto the top of the mountain.

At this time, the battle on the mountain had ended, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Although several people were rashly rushing up the mountain, fortunately, some soldiers knew them and knew that they were guides, so they did not drive them away. They just asked them to watch on the edge of the battlefield, not to disturb the soldiers' work, and not to pick up things on the battlefield.

At that time, as soon as they reached the mountain, several people were already a little stupid, because they could clearly see that the bodies of foreign soldiers were neatly placed on the ground, with at least fifty or sixty people, and more than a dozen soldiers were digging pits, obviously preparing to bury the corpses. On the other side, there were a bunch of foreign soldiers sitting around, one by one, one by one. Several people even held their hands on their heads. There were about twenty people, and there were seven or eight soldiers guarding them with guns. They knew they were prisoners at first glance.

Seeing such a scene, even Sha Ji could see that the foreigners were indeed defeated by this army, and they were not badly defeated. Jiang Haidong, Yang Jie and Zhang Shuo had been fighting for more than a year. There were dozens of churches that were captured, and there were more than ten large families. The three of them had killed several foreigners with their own hands, but they were basically foreign priests or ordinary foreigners. Once they encountered the army, whether it was the Qing army or the foreign army, they basically never won a few times. Sometimes even stronger rural groups could not win. Occasionally, one or two victories were won, and they relied on the large crowds and became famous at Zhu Honglan to defeat the magistrate Jiang Kai on the plains, leading more than a thousand boxers to fight dozens of Qing soldiers led by Jiang Kai.

It seems that this army is not too many, only three or four hundred people. It actually defeated the foreigners' army, and killed and captured so many foreigners. It seems that they said that they were trying to capture Tianjin, capture Weihaiwei, and defeat the Eight-Nation Alliance, perhaps it is not really a brag.

At this time, Luo Yue also heard Chen Deye talk about the identities of the three of them and knew that they were not ordinary people, but Yu Zhong of the Boxer Rebellion. Therefore, Luo Yue was also quite interested in them. Anyway, it was nothing wrong now, so he asked the guards to call them to him, say a few words, and ask about the local situation.

Jiang Donghai and others heard the guards greeting him. Although they came to Luo Yue with their teeth, their hearts were "bumped" and Luo Yue laughed and said, "Several fellow villagers, we were able to defeat the German army this time, thanks to your leadership, so I really want to thank you for your help."

After hearing this, the few people were also quite flattered. When did they see such a polite officer? Jiang Donghai hurriedly said, "This military master is too much, we are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the guard who called them over and said, "What kind of military officer? We don't call this. This is our Battalion Commander Luo. You just call it the commander. We all call it this here."

Jiang Donghai's mind was turning very quickly and immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, Chief Luo, after the battle is over, should we go to our village to rest, so that everyone can rest."

Luo Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't bother you anymore. Although this battle has been won, the battle is not over yet. We have to attack Qingdao and drive the German army out of Shandong completely. Therefore, after cleaning the battlefield, we will leave here. However, we really have to thank you for leading the way in this battle. Now the battle has not been finished, and we have not brought anything valuable. But after we conquer Qingdao, we will definitely thank you very well and give you enough rewards. So you can go back first."

After saying that, Luo Yue turned around and greeted the other soldiers, cleared the battlefield as soon as possible, and prepared to evacuate.

At this moment, Jiang Donghai suddenly stepped forward and said, "Chief Luo, we don't want any rewards. We just want to join Chief Luo's army, kill foreigners, and kill the official army."

Yang Jie and Zhang Shuo also said: "Yes, we all want to join the army. Please accept us." As he said that, several people "punched" and "punched" a few times, and knelt in front of Luo Yue.

Luo Yue hurriedly pulled them up and said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly, we can't kneel down and kowtow."

Several people stood up and Jiang Donghai said: "Chief Luo, then we..."

Luo Yue said: "We are certainly welcome to join our People's Army. However, joining the People's Army is different from the Boxer Rebellion you joined before. The People's Army has the discipline of the People's Army and must be respected unconditionally. In addition, all actions must be followed by the command and order of superiors. You cannot do it by your own nature. Can you do it?"

After hearing this, the three of them immediately expressed their opinions and said, "Yes, we must obey the command of the leader."

Luo Yue nodded and said, "First say it too much. To become a soldier of the People's Army, you must be trained and qualified. It is still a war period, so it is impossible to conduct professional training for you. I think so. You go home and clean up. In the afternoon, we will come to the bottom of Hualou Peak to report to our military camp. We will follow our army for a period of time before making a decision. This period is not a formal soldier, and we will not let you go to the battlefield. We will only do some auxiliary logistics work. Of course, we will also arrange some training for you. If you think you can adapt to the People's Army, you can become a formal soldier, and if you can't stand the discipline, you can leave. What do you think this is like?"
