Chapter 742: Close the door and beat the dog

Wang Cong'er met her husband two weeks before the general attack on the Shengjing Campaign. In short, the couple hadn't seen each other for almost half a year.

When the sun was about to set, the 17th Regiment of the North Navy Army drove in the post road leading to Dashiqiao. They set off from Jingyan Castle at noon. Wang Cong'er and a few female soldiers stood on the ridge on the roadside, babbling and slapped in a hurry.

On the Liaohe Plain in August, sorghum that is higher than the heads can be seen everywhere, green like a block of endless green gauze tents, and mature sorghum ears are like countless torches dotted on the gauze tent. Under the reflection of the sunset, the earth is red. The Northern Navy, wearing grass-green military uniforms, is like a wide river, flowing in the green gauze tent.

The officers and soldiers were full of energy, neatly dressed, cleanly dressed, bright guns, and strong leggings. At first glance, everyone's outfits were similar, because everyone was wearing a steel helmet with weeds on their heads, so it was difficult to tell the faces, but those with careful eyes and careful eyes could tell who was the veteran and who was the new recruits, and there were many Qing soldiers who had been converted and rectified among these recruits.

The clothes on the North Navy veterans were 70% new, and some were even brand new. The new recruits' clothes were old, and there were many patches on the white clothes. Those veterans who had been through many battles believed that every battle was a grand ceremony, and they couldn't wait to let the local buns under the Qing Dynasty see how decent the Northern Navy was. A year ago, the new recruits who were still in the Qing army regarded war as a kind of hard work. Why was it so good to wear? Anyway, they went in the wind and rain, struggled and kept their new clothes when they had something to do.

From the manners and expressions, we can also see who is the veteran and who is the new recruit. On one side of the post road are the advance combat troops, and on the other side are the migrant workers pushing wheelbarrows or driving mule carriages. The veterans talked and laughed along the way, and from time to time they talked and made a few words and jokes with the migrant workers, which made the migrant workers laugh from time to time. The expression was like going to the market and looking calm. For those transformed new recruits, participating in this battle is like a child entering the examination room, each with his own thoughts and silent.

Wang Cong'er and a few female soldiers' eyes were like gentle breeze, caressing the rolling "flow" of the waves, and the bamboo board in their hands made a crisp sound.

Female soldier! Living! Very beautiful!

Veterans have long been used to this, but the new recruits are different, especially those converted former Qing soldiers. Although they had heard of female soldiers in the army during training, this was the first time they saw them on the battlefield. At this moment, they were all thinking, how can women go to the battlefield?

Due to physiological differences, few women directly participated in battles in the era of cold weapons. This war world that emphasized personal courage could not open the door to women. However, it was different in the era of hot weapons. Women did not need gender alienation, but could also play a prominent role in specific fields, and could also make a way for women to go out of traditional gender roles and gender barriers.

The time travelers led by Zhao Xin took ten years to finally let the women in Beihai Town not only leave their families, factories, but also go into war. Although the unremitting efforts of the time travelers, the women among the naturalized people in the early island countries also played a great role. After all, the peasants and women in the island countries did not have the tradition of not leaving the door without going out, let alone bound feet. In addition, the women of border residents of all ethnic groups in the northeast are strong and there is no saying that women cannot show their faces.

Until now, among the women of Zhao Xin, except A Miao, all have their own jobs. Although Chen Xuan is the future queen, she still teaches at Beihai Town Primary School and also serves as an honorary principal; Wang Zhenyi went to Beihai Town Higher Science and Technology College to study and also serves as a lecturer. Her two teachers were Lagrangian and Laplace. After a few years, she spoke French in French; in order to stay away from Chen Xuan, Tang Xiao went to Boli Town primary school to be the vice principal.

As for Mrs. Elizabeth, she is not a good-looking guy... Well, let's forget about this. To put it weakly, Zhao Xin has nothing to do with her.

"Soldiers, listen to me, I will talk about victory! We have fought with the Qing Dynasty for nine and a half years and eliminated thousands of his teams! At the beginning of the summer offensive, the first victory was Kaiyuan, and then attacked Tieling and Jinzhou. The Qing Dynasty's rule was about to be finished..."

Things like Kuaiban lyrics are usually improvised. When you see what you see, you will come and sing it as soon as you open your mouth. You can't ask for rhyme. For example, Wang Cong'er saw a big soldier over 1.8 meters carrying a machine gun, carrying a heavy bag behind her back, and taking a big step, so she immediately sang: "Big man, hard feet, walk fast, win, and you can win. Catch Shu Liang alive, sure, sure!"

The big recruit's face turned red like a monkey's butt, pretending not to hear it. At this time, someone in the team called a big name and said, "Su Wan, the girl is singing about you, saying that you must catch the court, bah! He is the General Shengjing who captured the Qing Dynasty."

Judging from the name, it turns out that this big man is still a Hezhe! Because he has been engaged in fishing and hunting for many years, he has ingested a lot of meat and food, which makes Hezhe taller than the Han people from the Guan area. However, there are very few people who are so tall.

The soldiers around him laughed loudly when they heard this, and they laughed from the head of the team to the end of the team. Su Wansu didn't dare to raise his head, but his steps were getting lighter and lighter.

A group of people flowed over, and then another group of people came over. Wang Cong'er and his friends chanted with clear voices like a bowl of ice-cold well water in the dog days, which made people refreshed and relieved their fatigue.

Xu Jian, the company commander of the Third Battalion, rode a horse and rushed up from behind with the communication soldiers. From a distance, he saw Wang Cong'er standing on the ridge, wearing a slightly fat military uniform, with his hair tied in his military cap, and his belt was tightly tied. The sunset light was as bright as rouge on his white pretty face. A cool breeze blew, and the green gauze rustled, and the wind blew her military uniform, showing the mountains and water.

He tied the horse's reins and looked at his wife, and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet Wang Cong'er here, and unconsciously remembered the day when the two got married... The cicada's hair was half-hearted and the flowers were laughing under the flowers, and the eyebrows were drunk when they were drunk.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes, Xu Jian is Xu Funan. After the end of the Jilin Battle, Zhao Xin felt that he was almost married. The two brothers used the nicknames of "Funan and Shounan" inappropriate, so they changed their names. The boss called Xu Jian and the second one was Xu Yi. The reason why Zhao Xin was "given to the name" made many people extremely envious of the Xu brothers. However, those who know the inside story understand that because of his relationship with Shen Xuan, the Zhao Xin and his wife have actually raised them as sons over the years.

The army had a mission. After the couple met, Wang Cong'er took out the letter Chen Xuan asked her to send from her backpack, and a pair of thousand-layer soles sewn by Wang Cong'er. Xu Jian took the shoes and looked over, and saw that the stitches on the soles were sewn in a twist. This girl didn't like Nu Hong very much, so her mother criticized her for this.

Seeing a strange expression on her husband's face, Wang Cong'er bit her lower lip and said, "It took me two months to do it, so you can't say it's not good-looking."

Xu Jian is so angry that he dares not say anything, and he is hurriedly praising and complimenting.

Wang Cong'er suddenly said, "Hey, do you still have canned braised pork? The ratios given by our political team are not as good as your combat troops. We have eaten vegetarian food for several days."

"have!"

After hearing his wife's words, Xu Jian asked the communication soldiers to give all the canned meat in the bag on the horse's back to the female soldiers present. Several female soldiers held a large bag of canned meat and swallowed their saliva, hoping to open it immediately to satisfy their cravings.

“There are also canned salmon, or?”

"Oh! Give me two fish roe." Wang Cong'er smiled like a flower. She liked to eat this most. She couldn't catch up with this year's salmon migration season. She also sighed a few words in the letter she sent to her mother a few days ago.

Although Beihai Town has opened more than ten pig farms, and nearly 50,000 large fat pigs are slaughtered every year, it is terrifying in this time and space; but compared with the millions of people under its control, pork is still a shortage of goods. Every year, when the military and civilians in Beihai Town have the most oily stomachs, it is the month when salmon migrates in autumn. The fish roe and the scraps left over from the pickled fish are made three times a day, and even stewed in a big pot by the river, pursuing the rhythm of eating and vomiting.

Nowadays, soldiers of the Northern Navy have two major hobbies: watching operas and eating braised pork.

Needless to say, braised pork, just talk about watching the show. Before every war, each regiment had to perform a performance for the soldiers, and the performances were adapted from time travelers, such as "White-Haired Girl" and "Blood and Tears" adapted from time travelers. However, the relevant content was changed to corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty colluded with landlords to oppress the poor, so they were forced to be displaced, their families were destroyed, and finally, they lived a happy and beautiful life under the rescue of the North Navy. In addition, there was the Yangge Opera "Brother and Sisters Opening up the Land".

Veterans have watched these scenes many times, and new recruits have also watched them once or twice. Although the plots in them look simple, in the modern era of another time and space, no matter how many times the recruits and veterans are, they are as fresh as they watch them for the first time. Often, the actors on the stage sing the previous line, and the people below immediately follow the next line. The actors occasionally play and change the lines and actions slightly, and the soldiers below are as happy as someone scratching their armpits.

These two hobbies are often used by the head and instructors. When fighting and charging, the company commander usually shouts: "Come on! After fighting, go back to watch the show and eat braised pork!" The effect is very good every time, and it has a comedy effect.

"I'm leaving, and I'll find you when I'm capturing Fengtian Mansion."

Before Wang Cong'er could react, Xu Jian and the communication soldiers left. Wang Cong'er had no choice but to raise his right hand helplessly and waved at her husband's back. At this time, the sleeves fell down, and a shiny silver bracelet appeared on her fair wrist.

This bracelet was left for their brothers before their death. It was the personal jewelry used by Xu Jian when he married the Xu family in Dongtai. After the Xu family was confiscated, all the property was confiscated by the government and the family was escorted to the capital to be tried. In the end, the bracelet was left with close body. No matter how hard the road to exile was, even in Ningguta, he was wailing with food and clothes, and Xu Jian's mother did not want to change her clothes and exchange for some sorghum. In the winter of that year, in a late night when the wind was howling, Xu's mother, who was already dying on the pile of hays, took out the bracelet from her arms and told her to keep it with her, so that the brothers would be safe.

It was not until she was engaged to Wang Cong'er that Xu Jian used the bracelet as a betrothal gift and told her the story behind it. Since then, Wang Cong'er has been wearing it and intends to use it as a family heirloom of the Xu family.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August. As Xiong Yue, Gaiping, Niuzhuang and other places were conquered one after another, the five land battle battalions of the North Navy entered Xihaikou south of Jinzhou after several days of rest and supply, and took the Tianqiao Factory in just one day. The Qing army water camp and the fort defenders stationed here suffered heavy losses. As soon as the landing troops arrived ashore, the survivors ran away without a trace.

Two more days later, the troops of the Land Battle Battalion launched an attack on Tashan Fort, which lies between Jinzhou and Ningyuan Prefecture.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tashan was a strategic location for the western Liaoning Corridor. One hundred and fifty years ago, this place was a densely populated military center. After the Songjin War, a little-known and fierce offensive and defensive battle occurred.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty's defense system in Liaodong was completely collapsed. The Tashan Fort, which thirty miles north of Ningyuan Prefecture, was like a lonely boat in the ocean, trapped in the fierce offensive of the Qing army. After Tong Hanbang, the Ming army guard at the time, learned that Jinzhou surrendered, he expressed his indignation and determination to the seven thousand Tashan soldiers and civilians: "Our army soldiers were killed and injured and had a shortage of food. It can be seen that the dynasty is dead. If I am righteous, I will commit suicide first!"

His generous declaration won the tears of the soldiers and civilians in the city, saying why the general left us? We are willing to fight to the end with the general. Then the soldiers and civilians knelt down and swear to the sky, even if they must die, they will never surrender!

So on the fifteenth day after Zu Dashou surrendered, the Tashan military and civilians who had run out of ammunition and food pretended to surrender and tricked the Qing army into the city. Tong Hanbang then ordered people to close the city gate and led the remaining troops to fight the Qing army for a desperate battle. Finally, the explosives that had been buried were ignited. In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the ground broke, and the entire Tashan Fort was blown into ruins. Thousands of military and civilians and the Qing army that entered the city died together.

Compared with the Ming army's refusal to surrender 150 years ago, the Qing army is far behind today. At the end of the 18th century, Tashan was just a small village with dozens of families, plus a earthen fort, and the guards were just a fifth-rank defense, with less than 300 men under his command.

Under the guidance of the drone, six mortars from the artillery company of the 19th Regiment of the Northern Navy were specially designed to find places where the Qing army gathered. After a round of firing, a white flag appeared on the earth wall of Tashan Fort. When the bandaged defenseman saw the regiment chief of staff, he knelt down and begged not to fire again. Just the few shells just now, more than a hundred Qing troops were gone.

After taking down Tashan, the route of the Qing army fleeing south was tightly blocked. Later, except for two battalions of defending Tashan, the Northern Navy troops on the southern line quickly headed north and recovered the Qimukong Fort, Daxing Fort, Xingshan Fort and Jinchang Fort along the way. Finally, on August 25, they occupied Songshan Fort, 18 miles south of Jin County, and the next day they were in the city of Jin County.

Faced with the Northern Navy's drones and cannons, the three thousand Qing troops in Jinxian were only a little stronger than Tashan Fort. When the Yong'an Gate to the south and Ningyuan Gate to the east were blown up, the Jinzhou Prefect and the Jinzhou Deputy Gate who knew they were defeated committed suicide one after another. The Qing Dynasty fought with the Northern Navy for so many years and knew that the Northern Navy had no habit of killing prisoners, so more than 400 Eight Banners Manchu soldiers surviving in the city, led by a co-leader, opened the city and surrendered.

At this point, the southern gate leading to Shanhaiguan on the western Liaoning Plain has been blocked, and the Qing army outside the pass has no way out, and Zhao Xin's "closing the door and beating dogs" plan will also enter the second stage.
