march to victory

In terms of mastering people's hearts, uneducated old men will never be able to compare with educated ones.

Zhang Qingshan just wanted to use the people in the town to hate bandits to do things, but Zhang Qinggui, a cultural person, is even more powerful: when he reported the pros and cons, he further included the family members of the Self-Defense Force. The relatives of most of the team members are in the town. Who would watch their relatives being killed and remain indifferent?

According to the investigation after the event, it was indeed as Zhang Qinggui analyzed: At the beginning, the common people could not figure out whether it was the bandits or the national army who fell on the ground. Out of fear of being retaliated, most of them took the method of "sweeping the snow before the door". Wait and see attitude.For this reason, even if they saw the death or injury of their relatives who joined the Self-Defense Forces, they could only bear it because they were afraid that more family members would be implicated.

But when I heard Zhang Qinggui's words, I immediately realized that I had to make up my mind: Even if I don't resist, because my relatives joined the Self-Defense Forces, you will never let me go afterwards, so why don't I take advantage of the weapon in my hand now? , fight with you?

Coupled with the sound of muskets, it is easy to think that someone has begun to resist.What's more, the cries of those whose homes were broken down by bandits would make the people around them think that the bandits started robbing and killing people before they won a complete victory, and at the same time confirmed the content of the Red Army's shouts.Then, after these bandits have won a complete victory, one can imagine what will happen to the people of the whole town.

Therefore, the first to stand up were the relatives and friends of the members of the Self-Defense Forces.

Because most of them are poor families, and their residences are also on the outskirts of the town, when the first person sticks out a musket behind the window, pulls the trigger on a passing bandit, and knocks down the bandit, a chain reaction begins—the truth In fact, they just lack a local leader.

Amidst the yelling, the neighbors came out of the house with muskets and even crossbows, chasing and killing the bandits who had entered the town and left alone.When they gradually gathered together and began chasing and killing large groups of bandits, the whole Guitang Town seemed to come alive, allowing the bandits to deeply experience what it means to be caught in the ocean of people's war.

Tian Dalong didn't take the inflammatory words of the Red Army seriously at all, because he believed in his bones that ordinary people were a flock of sheep, a flock of sheep that were allowed to be kneaded by those in power with guns in their hands.

When the first subordinate who had to go outside the town for treatment because of an arm injury ran back, he reported to him in horror that the four of them were sniped by the townspeople on the way back, and he was the only one who came back alive.Without even thinking about it, Tian Dalong killed the guy who dared to disturb the morale of the army with one shot, and scolded disdainfully: "The common people killed you all, is that possible? Isn't it just a few red heads who are alone, If you can't beat him, you still have the face to come back, if you don't die, who will die?"

Not long after, he sent seven or eight people to send back the property that had just been looted from the inn.In less than 5 minutes, only two people ran back and reported to him in the same horror: the people in the town are all crazy and rebellious, and they dare to hunt them down in groups, and they will kill them here soon .

Tian Dalong still didn't believe it, but he just frowned, and then sent a few people to check behind, and at the same time asked his subordinates to attack by force to break through the Red Army's position as soon as possible.

However, the men he sent behind to check never returned. At this time, Tian Dalong noticed that the atmosphere in the town was a little different, especially the sound of muskets and curses, which came from almost all directions without interruption. Pass.

Tian Dalong's complexion changed drastically, he didn't care about avenging his father, saving his life was the most important thing.Hurry up to gather troops and prepare to retreat, but - it's too late.

Before he could gather his forces, he heard a "bang" musket shot not far behind him.As soon as Tian Dalong lay down subconsciously, several screams came from his ears. Before he could raise his head to observe, there were two shots of muskets, and then there were dense muskets.

"Hit! Hit me!"

If it was a sneak attack by the Red Army, he would not be so angry, because in his eyes, the Red Army and his own troops are all troops, they belong to equal status, and it is normal to win or lose.But those "sheep" who usually give and take, suddenly turned into a pack of wolves, which made Tian Dalong unable to adapt and imagine.The combination of fear and embarrassment made him extremely furious.If it weren't for the few cronies around him who hugged him desperately, he would jump up and take the lead in charging.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

"Bam! Boom! Bam..."

The common people were not soldiers after all, and they killed them just now with a burst of anger, but when the bandits fought back with rifles and pistols, resulting in casualties among them, the common people immediately panicked.I no longer dared to walk directly on the street and attack blatantly like before, looking for cover one after another, and firing at the bandits indiscriminately with the muskets in their hands.

But the common people have a huge advantage: the bullets fired by the rifle can kill at most one person.The musket is filled with gunpowder and more than a dozen or 20 pieces of iron sand. Once shot out, a net composed of iron sand will be formed. Although the penetrating power is not as good as that of bullets, the lethality is much better than that of bullets.The distance of 60 meters is the best distance for the musket advantage. There is no need to aim carefully. If you shoot at a crowded place, you can definitely wipe out a lot of people with one shot. .

When Yu Zhiping heard someone beating the gong behind him, he still felt a little disdainful in his heart—he didn't believe that the people who were in the audience before would risk their lives and money to join the battle because of these few words.But as soon as the gunshots sounded, the bandits' attack on his side immediately stopped. After a pause, the surprise in his heart began to burn.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers on the commanding heights reported loudly that many people were attacking the rear of the bandits. Yu Zhiping was overjoyed and seized this rare opportunity. The frontal attack gave the bandits a back and forth attack.

"Comrades, rush to me!"

"Don't kill with guns!"

"Kill it!"

The charge and roar of the Red Army, like a booster, immediately stabilized the somewhat messy civilians who were blocking the bandits, and shouted various slogans echoing each other from afar, with a vague posture of charging.As a result, the bandits immediately felt a strong pressure, and all aspects were ashamed.

On the one hand, the common people stubbornly resisted their retreat, and on the other hand, there was a fierce attack by the Red Army commanders and fighters who vowed to avenge their comrades-in-arms.After hearing this report, Tian Dalong could only look up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and led his men to break through the encirclement.

According to the habitual thinking in the past, Tian Dalong thought that Guitang town was full of small alleys leading to the outside of the town, and he could advance and retreat freely, so he didn't worry about retreating.But he never expected that at this time, the people's hatred for the bandits directly turned into anger, and they used the musket in their hands to vent out the hatred for many years.And they were in the center of the main street, and there were people everywhere who were ready to shoot them coldly.To put it bluntly, they have fallen into the siege of the common people.

The family hiding Zhou Baoyu is surnamed Huang, and they have been stonemasons for generations.The old man's name is Huang **, nicknamed Huang Shijiang. He has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Huang Dewen, whose nickname is Dawa.The youngest son, Huang Dewu, nicknamed Erwa, happened to be away from home when he went to the countryside to lay stone tablets for others.

Dawa, who is just 21 years old this year, is also a passionate man, and has long been displeased with the behavior of white dogs and bandits.When the people were killing the bandits in full swing, he saw his blood boiling and wanted to join in, but his father still didn't allow him to go out, with the excuse that "protecting the little Red Army is the most important thing."

So, Dawa stood behind the window with a bench in his hand, protruding the muzzle of his musket out of the window a little bit, hoping in his mind that when a lone bandit passed by, he would be like shooting a wild boar Also, kill him with one shot, in that case, he can get the opponent's rifle, maybe he can also seize some property, and maybe get some rewards from the Red Army-he has always wanted to get a rifle and go hunting in the mountains.What's more, his fiancée's family asked for a lot of bride price, and spent almost all of the family's savings, which made him feel very guilty towards his younger brother - his younger brother was only one year younger than himself, and he was also at the age of marriage, but Where can I find the bride price!

Just when he was looking forward to it and was a little scared, he suddenly heard the sound of muskets and rifles getting louder, and he nervously said to his father with a trembling voice: "Abba, the sound of guns is getting louder and louder. It seems to be moving towards us."

Hearing this, Huang Mason, who was holding a pipe next to the fire pit and not smoking a puff, picked up his musket and ran to the gate, looked at it, listened again, and said to Dawa with a solemn expression: "Dawa , you can think about it, if you shoot this shot, you will become enemies with the bandits, and you will not have a peaceful life in the future."

"Father, didn't you hear the Red Army's shouting? I think it makes sense: if we don't resist, they won't let us live a peaceful life. There is no way to survive, so we might as well fight them... Big deal, wait for this After this time, I will join the Red Army."

Carpenter Huang looked at Dawa carefully, and without speaking, he opened the door a little, and the muzzle of the musket stretched out a little.

Seeing that Dad silently agreed, the eldest child smiled happily.The grandmother on the side picked up a musket that had just been filled with gunpowder and put it beside him, then turned around and went to refill a short musket with gunpowder.The eldest sister held a red-tasseled gun, and the second sister held a hatchet. They both stood by the gate consciously, expressing their support for the brother's killing of the bandits with their own actions.

Soon, more than a dozen civilians hurriedly retreated from the alley diagonally opposite, and then leaned against the wall to shoot at the alley entrance.After fighting for a few minutes, these dozen or so people, led by a leader, quickly ran past Huangshi Jiang's house.Immediately, a large group of bandits rushed out of the alley, and also ran past Huang Shijiang's house.

Dawa is a good hunter, but he has never killed anyone before. When he thinks about killing someone, he is inevitably a little scared, especially when he hears every gunshot and screams, which makes him very flustered.He wanted to pull the trigger several times, but for some reason, he just couldn't bend his fingers, and even his hands were trembling slightly...

suddenly!
