Chapter 19 Taking over Jinan (12)
Since there is no entertainment activity in this era, as long as there is something, it will be immediately known to everyone in the city. Therefore, the continuous battle between Anluotang and the fight between overseas Chinese have long been spread throughout Jinan City at this time, and everyone knows that Anluotang is going to do something with overseas Chinese.
Judging from the results this morning, it was obviously Anluo Hall that had the upper hand, because Anluo Hall finally destroyed two shops protected by overseas Chinese. However, overseas Chinese ordered to capture the thugs in the afternoon and announced martial law in the whole city of Jinan City. All gates were closed and all entrances were stopped, and going out was strictly prohibited at night. Obviously, they would not give up. Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire Jinan city suddenly became tense, and many people were worried that overseas Chinese and Anluo Hall would have a big fire, but they didn't know how many innocent families would affect this time. In the daytime battle today, I heard that several not-so-conspicuous shops were also suffered, so many people even strengthened the doors and windows overnight to prevent accidents.
Of course, not everyone is worried and afraid. Many people think that overseas Chinese are just pretending to behave. They can’t do anything to Anluotang, and in the end they can only leave it alone. Some people think that if they offend Anluotang, overseas Chinese will definitely not be able to stay in Jinan.
This day passed in such a tense atmosphere. Before the next day was dawn, some residents who woke up early heard a series of dense and heavy footsteps coming from the street. Some were lying down at the crack of the door and the crack of the window, and they saw that the street was full of overseas Chinese troops and policemen, coming and going, some heading out of the city, while others heading towards the entrance of Anluo Hall.
Luo Yue led the first battalion to the front of Anluo Hall. Although the sky was not bright at this time, he could still see the full picture of Anluo Hall. Luo Yue tried his best to correspond to the image he saw with the map he studied yesterday.
Anluo Hall is a rectangular building with a front width of about 80 meters and a depth of about 180 meters. It is facing the street in front and back, and each has a gate. The door panel is made of thick wood, with copper nails, and there are two stone lions on the left and right. At this time, the gate is closed. There are two small side alleys on the left and right, and two small side doors are opened. There are three-story courtyards in the inner part, but the layout of the whole body is not clear, but this will not have any impact on the result of the battle.
The First Battalion of the First Regiment is the ace force of the entire People's Army. It is also an opponent who uses cold weapons when dealing with such local gangs. Even if it only dispatched three combat companies and did not dispatch firepower to strengthen the company, it should be easily captured. However, Luo Yue still made very sufficient preparations. After all, this battle not only needs to be won, but also win beautifully. Therefore, Luo Yue set the goal of this battle: not only does the first battalion not have any casualties, but also has to try not to let a member of Anluo Hall go away. This is not an easy task.
Luo Yue formulated the tactical plan, with two gates in the front and back as the main attack direction, each arranged a company's troops, and a police squadron to cooperate; and on the left and right side alleys, a platoon was arranged and a police squadron was added, but the responsibility was not to attack, but to defend these two side alleys to prevent someone from escaping from here; the remaining platoon and Luo Yue's guard platoon were used as mobile forces to prevent accidents.
Not long after, all the troops were in their own positions. The height of the Anluo Hall courtyard wall was more than 3 meters, but at this time, the inside and outside of the courtyard wall were very quiet, as if there was no preparation at all. Moreover, some soldiers climbed up the big tree beside the courtyard wall to watch the courtyard, but they did not see anyone in the courtyard guarding them.
Seeing this, Luo Yue hesitated for a moment, and then ordered to attack over the wall, and also ordered to place warnings on several trees near the courtyard wall. It turned out that Luo Yue had prepared two sets of improvement plans. If the people of Anluo Hall set up defenses on the courtyard wall and were on guard, then they would use blasting tactics to blow up the courtyard wall and attack Anluo Hall; and if Anluo Hall was not prepared, they would use the tactics of attacking the wall, let the soldiers jump into the courtyard, and then open the door and let other soldiers enter.
Although the overall quality of the People's Army is still quite far from the requirement of crossing the soldiers, it is still no problem to jump over the courtyard wall more than 3 meters high. Moreover, the advantage of the wall attack is that the damage to the building is greatly reduced. After all, once the entire Anluo Hall is crossed, the house will definitely be owned by the government, so it is better to try to destroy as little as possible.
However, An Luotang was not prepared at all, which made Luo Yue a little confused. It was so difficult that An Luotang really thought it was okay? However, the current situation was not enough for Luo Yue to think too much, so he finally decided to use the tactic of jumping over the wall to attack.
After the order was issued, the soldiers immediately moved. A squad of soldiers was divided into two groups. Two soldiers stood opposite the wall, holding each other with four hands tightly. The other soldiers passed a 6-7-meter run-up and stepped on their hands. The two soldiers threw them together. The soldiers jumped up with the force, reached out to put their hands on the wall, then closed their arms with all their might, climbed up to the wall, and then jumped into the yard.
After landing, the soldiers immediately squatted or lie down, and held guns to guard against someone to take advantage of this opportunity to attack. But not long after, more than 10 soldiers fell into the yard. Only then did someone shout in the yard, "Who is it?" Then several people came out of the room with knives.
When the soldiers saw it, they immediately shot and killed two people. While raising their guns to shoot, they moved towards the gate. Two soldiers stepped onto the stairs of the gate, pulled off the door bar, opened the bolt, and opened the door. The other soldiers immediately rushed into the yard, and gunfire suddenly burst out.
In fact, An Luotang was not completely prepared. Just yesterday morning, after smashing the two shops, Zhang Yanan, the owner of An Luotang, also felt a little uneasy. Because before that, Zhang Yanan thought about smashing the two shops and finding An Luotang's face, and didn't care about anything else, but had already smashed the shops, Zhang Yanan began to think about the next thing, and then Zhang Yanan realized that he had no idea what was going on.
Although Zhang Yanan is a member of the gang, he has met some big events after all. He knows that overseas Chinese suffer this loss, he may not be able to finish it. Although An Luotang did not take the government seriously before, Zhang Yanan also knew that overseas Chinese were different from the previous prefects. When they arrived in Jinan, they only used a few old officials in the yamen to attack the government in Jinan and quickly rectified the government in Jinan with iron and bloody means. Moreover, yesterday, the officials from overseas Chinese dared to fight with the people in An Luotang, which means that this group of overseas Chinese are definitely not easy to meet.
What's more, even if the shop was successfully destroyed today, he actually lost nearly 40 people. When Zhang Yanan and other gangs were fighting for territory in the past, if 40 people were lost, it would have been a large-scale battle. But if he paid such a big price, he only destroyed two small shops, which would definitely be a loss. And so far, overseas Chinese have only dispatched service personnel. Zhang Yanan knew that overseas Chinese have troops in the city. However, in front of other sect leaders and disciples, Zhang Yanan had to do something that overseas Chinese would do for a while.
In the afternoon, Wang Sheng announced martial law in the whole city. Although there was no name for Anluo Hall, Zhang Yanan understood that this was targeting Anluo Hall, and he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy. He thought about how overseas Chinese would deal with him. Will it be difficult to send troops to the hall to capture him? But Anluo Hall has more than 3,000 brothers in Jinan City. If all of them make trouble, it would be enough to turn the entire Jinan City over. In addition, if all the brothers and tenants outside the city really started, overseas Chinese would not be able to stabilize in Jinan. Overseas Chinese would not have thought of this. Thinking of this, Zhang Yanan felt a little assured and a little more stable.
So Zhang Yanan also thought that it was necessary to discuss with others what to do next? An Luotang and others, this power must not be underestimated, but it is obviously not enough to prohibit the registration of shops. At least it should be a little bigger. Those groups are still too timid. If they want to fight overseas Chinese, they will not do anything big. However, overseas Chinese have already ordered a ban on nights, so they will wait until tomorrow.
However, although he was at ease, Zhang Yanan did not dare to be careless. During the night break, Zhang Yanan also arranged some disciples to watch the night in front, back and forth, to prevent overseas Chinese from having any plans. As a result, the disciples who watched the night were all sleepy and exhausted until dawn, so they fell asleep. They were not alarmed until the People's Army jumped into the wall and entered the yard.
Seeing the overseas Chinese army open the door and rush into the yard, several disciples who were vigilant were hot-headed and wanted to rush up and fight, but were shot back by a fire from overseas Chinese. The others did not dare to act rashly, and they all hid in the yard and did not dare to come out. At the same time, they hurried to report to Zhang Yan'an.
At this time, Zhang Yanan was still asleep and was woken up by his disciples. When he learned that overseas Chinese had already attacked the hall and heard the gunshots in front and behind, he was shocked. He could not help but feel shocked. He didn't expect that overseas Chinese would be more powerful than he thought, so he directly used the army. He saw that he was preparing to completely destroy Anluo Hall in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanan couldn't help but feel sank. He had seen the world and knew that the gang's forces were OK to deal with ordinary officers and constables, but it was still far from being able to fight against regular troops. It seemed that An Luotang was probably in danger today. However, while thinking about it, Zhang Yanan hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, and ordered his disciples to quickly inform others, get up quickly, and collect weapons to resist the attack of overseas Chinese.
