Chapter 133: Special Forces Welcome
Large troops began to gradually enter the streets to clear out the hidden resistance forces. The 2nd Company led by Xue Chen at the Nanmen was originally an elite standing combat company. After receiving flank support from He Jiacheng, they began to wade across the river, climbed the river bank under hail of bullets, seized the corner of Yuwang Palace, and began to extend into the urban area.
Du Chenyu only sent two platoons to block the enemy at the north gate. Suddenly, a heavy machine gun fire sounded from the window of a two-story building. A row of bullets hit the mound in front, splashing dust. Then a light machine gun opened fire on the ground floor, instantly suppressing the attackers so that they dared not look up.
When Du Chenyu heard the heavy sound of heavy machine guns at the north gate, he knew that the enemy had begun to break out. "Let Xue Chen command the companies to encircle Oujia Bay and make sure that no one is allowed to escape into the northern mountains and forests." He issued the final encirclement plan order.
Li Haoran already has a company blocking the enemy in Oujia Bay, which should be able to stop the breakout personnel and annihilate them here.
Half an hour later, each team had begun to occupy the block. "Report, the enemy with more than 200 people has broken through the north gate blockade and is fleeing to the north," the communications soldier came to report.
"The Guard Company, the Reconnaissance Company, and Zhao Rui will lead the team to clear out the remaining enemies in the block. The rest of the team led by Xue Chen will all head north to encircle and break out the enemy. If the enemy does not forcefully break out, we will not attack. We will try our best to surround the enemy in Oujia Bay, and we will make plans after daybreak." After Du Chenyu made the arrangements, he left the command point and prepared to return to the tent, leaving the rest to the battlefield commanders of various units.
The next day, no one woke Du Chenyu up. After dawn, a red sun pierced through the thick white morning fog in the east and was rising slowly.
He wiped his eyes with a towel, and Lei Jianqin brought a bowl of rice. "What is the current situation of all parties?" Du Chenyu asked.
"All streets have been completely occupied and the battlefield has been cleaned up, so there is not much impact on the civilians. In addition, Captain Xue reported that they repelled the enemy's three breakout attacks and surrounded more than 200 people in Oujia Bay, but a small number of people still escaped during the breakout. It was too dark at night and they could not be pursued," he gave a brief report on the situation.
"Send someone to pass the message so that they can surrender. If they refuse, charge once and shrink the encirclement area." Du Chenyu had no plans to attack the scene. After all, they were all meat on the chopping board. There would be little difference between eating them early or late. What needed to be done now was to quickly stabilize the neighborhood and establish an effective management system. After all, there were still a large number of resistance forces in each village and each community. Shaxi Field has not been taken down yet. There are 3 people in Changchi, Yanchan and Shaxi areas, plus 3 people in Zhenziba, Qinglong Field, Jiulong Field and Huangmaoya, which originally belonged to the reformed group area, for a total of nearly 6.
Du Chenyu arranged personnel in the tent: the Qinglongchang area was changed to Changchi area and upgraded to county-level regional management. He Cunyi was responsible for the administrative and civil management of the entire area. Xue Chen's 2nd Battalion was stationed here. The original Qinglongchang area had 4 people, and nearly 3 more people were added to the jurisdiction, totaling more than 7 people.
The same three-level government management system of region (county level), fort (township), and township (farm) is implemented. The two-season village governance system of bao and jia continues to be set up under the township, and the system of one brand for every 10 households is abolished. Gradually, a chairman of the Revolutionary Committee is established in each township, and members are developed in each bao. A strict approval and recommendation system is implemented for entry. This system is gradually being implemented in the entire jurisdiction. Of course, it is now being implemented on a small scale, and it does not dare to cause social unrest.
At noon, Xue Chen and Li Haoran returned to report to Du Chenyu that they had cleared out all the remaining members of the joint defense brigade in Oujiawan, and most of them surrendered without resisting. All the gains were still being counted, and the neighborhood had basically returned to order.
Du Chenyu ordered Li Haoran to take half of the cavalry to recapture Shaxi Field, so that the entire area would be liberated and production could be fully resumed.
He also announced publicly that Xue Chen would be in charge of military affairs and He Cunyi would be in charge of civil affairs, and required that defensive positions be set up immediately on all sides and that talented people be sought. After all, the Changchi area has long been a region with relatively good education, with many educated people and a very strong educational atmosphere.
Everything was arranged and everyone was working. Du Chenyu prepared to catch up on his sleep and officially enter Changchi Fort tomorrow.
As the misty white fog gradually dissipated, a fiery red disk gradually rose. Today was the ceremony to enter the city. There had never been such a grand ceremony before, but after discussing with Xue Chen and others, Du Chenyu decided to hold it this time. His reputation as the Little Black Dragon of Northern Sichuan must also spread, and the prestige of the Du Family Army must also be spread in a small range. Now that the National Protection War is about to break out, all places will take the opportunity to revolt, and there will be all kinds of titles such as commander-in-chief, inspector general, and governor-general. Their Du Family Army must also make their names known, which will help to recruit talents and improve their reputation.
After a day and a half of preparation, the avenue leading to the block was re-arranged. The special service team and the reconnaissance team were responsible for maintaining public order. Xue Chen, Zhao Rui, He Jiacheng, as well as the medical team and the logistics team, totaling 500 people, were arranged in three rows of general teams. Leading the way in the front were 20 cavalrymen, followed by a team of four artillery guns, a light machine gun, and two heavy machine guns, and behind them were neatly arranged columns.
"The entry ceremony begins now, fire your guns," and 20 guards of honor fired their guns into the air.
"Fire...", four firecrackers made of gunpowder bags began to light up.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Changchi Guard is ready, please give your instructions," Xue Chen ran forward and saluted to report to He Cunyi.
"The entry ceremony begins," He Cunyi issued an order from the podium.
"March in step," Xue Chen gave the order.
The army began to spread forward, raising dust all the way, like a yellow dragon. All team members had experienced countless battles and were full of murderous intent. Both sides of the road were filled with civilians, some of whom were holding banners, welcoming the Changchi Guard into the city.
Du Chenyu sat in a carriage and walked in the logistics team. There was no road, and He Cunyi and Xue Chen were in command throughout the journey.
During the Republic of China period, Changchibao still had a wide street, two kilometers long, with about 5000 people living on the street, which was slightly larger than Enyang Town. "Welcome the escort team, welcome the escort team," the crowds on both sides suddenly burst into warm welcomes. When they were about to enter the block, it was obvious that these ragged ordinary people were welcoming from the bottom of their hearts. According to He Cunyi's report, he opened the warehouse to release grain only yesterday afternoon, distributing 300 kilograms of grain to the surrounding people. This was the first time that someone opened the warehouse to release grain in more than years since Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion. Therefore, the people in Changchi area were so happy today. Through the simple organization of the head of the security guard, they shouted and welcomed with all their strength.
"Pah pah..." Some people were actually setting off firecrackers. Someone started it, and the sound of firecrackers continued. Looking at the lively scene, He Cunyi said, "Forward... Forward... Our team is heading towards the sun, our team is guarding our parents, we use steel guns to defeat the enemy, and we will be famous for defending our country." This is a military song adapted by Du Chenyu. The neat singing voices soared into the sky, instantly pushing the lively scene to a climax.
