Shortly after the bandits in the middle of the hillside were eliminated, Liu Heiqi led more than 2,100 other bandits to catch up. Then, Liu Heiqi directed his bandits to use the nearby terrain to conceal, and set up a heavy machine gun to launch an attack on Yin Laihao, Wang Sida and other bandits on the hillside.
Liu Heiqi had to thank Zhang Zongchang for his generous support for encircling and suppressing the officers and soldiers. After becoming the supervisor of Shandong, Zhang Zongchang sent his subordinate Huang Fengqi to clear out the bandits in the Yimeng Mountains. Huang Fengqi sent a regiment of troops to encircle Liu Heiqi. However, because Zhang Zongchang had long deducted military pay and most of the soldiers were passive and lazy to fight, Liu Heiqi secretly traded weapons with the regiment to exchange for oceans, and exchanged high prices for two new Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, nearly a thousand rifles and many ammunition. It was with these equipment that Liu Heiqi could rapidly develop from a team of less than 800 people at the beginning of 1925 to a large bandit with more than 3,000 people now.
Although there are only two and a half new heavy machine guns, Liu Heiqi is also very precious. If he hadn't saved the idea of getting fired and other bandits and strengthening the team, he would have been reluctant to bring a heavy machine gun. After all, although the heavy machine gun is powerful and easy to use, the bullets are consumed too quickly and hundreds of bullets will be gone in the blink of an eye.
After the machine gun was installed, Liu Heiqi called Lin Chuanju again: "Old Lin, I will use the machine gun to shoot the hillside here. You will lead the more than 1,300 people around from the south and fight from behind them. You must keep Yin Lai, the four big men and the others. If you are willing to work with me, you will be killed if you don't want to!"
Lin Chuanju then acted according to Liu Heiqi's instructions and led more than 1,300 bandits, including 800 people who had just been annexed, to the rear of Yin Laihao, Wang Sidazi and others on the hillside.
When the heavy machine guns of Liu Heiqi's troops sounded, Yin Laihao on the hillside, Wang Si was a little stunned. The bad-tempered Wang Si even cursed: "Fuck! Is this a fucking bandit? Why is there even this guy?" Yin Lai on the side sighed and said: "I have heard some news before. It is said that when the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed them a few months ago, Liu Heiqi had secretly traded weapons with the officers and soldiers who surrounded them, and got a lot of good guys. It was from that time that Liu Heiqi's team grew rapidly, and he was also called the "Liu Group". But they didn't expect that they actually got a guy like the heavy machine gun."
The shooting of heavy machine guns not only increased the casualties of Yin Laihao, but also caused the bandits under the troops of Wang Sida, and the psychological blow to the bandits was even more fatal. After the heavy machine guns began to shoot, even if Yin Laihao and Wang Sida and others were threatening and tempting, the bandits on the hillside were not interested in fighting and began to show signs of retreat. When Lin Chuanju led more than 1,300 bandits to appear behind Yin Laihao, Wang Sida and others, and launched a front and back attack on them with Liu Heiqi's troops, the bandits on the top of the mountain finally completely collapsed.
Yin Laihao, Wang Sida took more than 300 confidants and was shot dead by Liu Heiqi's troops when they broke out. Yin, the remaining 1,700 bandits from Wang's troops suffered more than 400 casualties under the attack of Liu Heiqi's troops. Except for a small number of escaped, the rest chose to surrender.
In this way, a large-scale bandit fire ended with the victory of Liu Heiqi's troops.
In this fire, Yin Laihao, Wang Sida, the remnants of Zhao Mama and other large bandits, as well as more than 10 small bandits with a number of about 2,300 people, became the stepping stones for Liu Heiqi to develop his team and strengthen his strength. After this fire, Liu Heiqi accepted the surrender of more than 2,300 bandits, which made his team grow to more than 4,700 after removing casualties. As for all the bandits who were unwilling to surrender, they were all ordered to be killed by Liu Heiqi.
More than 10,300 bandits who came here to rob food, except for about 2,700 who ran away while the chaos, and the more than 4,700 bandits left after Liu Heiqi's battle, nearly 3,000 others became the number of casualties in large-scale bandit fires that lasted nearly three hours. Many seriously injured bandits were ordered by Liu Heiqi without discrimination. As for more than 400 bandits who were less injured and could follow the team, they also became Liu Heiqi's subordinates.
After the fire broke out, a group of bandits worked hard for more than half an hour to clean the battlefield and count various gains. After this battle, in addition to the large expansion of the number of personnel, Liu Heiqi also harvested more than 2,400 guns, which made him arm all the more than 5,100 teams, including the wounded, and there was still a little left.
After cleaning the battlefield, Liu Heiqi ordered the bandits to take a break and prepare to attack the factory when the chicken crows.
This fire was beyond the expectations of Zhao Zhenzhong and others, and forced Zhao Zhenzhong to adjust its deployment and abandon some of the measures he had originally planned to adopt. Of course, this fire was more beneficial than disadvantages to Zhao Zhenzhong and others as a whole.
Although the bandits of various groups were large in number, but their disagreement was also beneficial to Zhao Zhenzhong and others to use the firepower arranged to kill them in large quantities, the troops of Liu Heiqi, who were cunning by nature, would likely take advantage of the chaos to escape the backbone forces. Although Liu Heiqi's power has been temporarily expanded, allowing him to command the attack on the factory, Zhao Zhenzhong and others also used this fire and locked in Liu Heiqi and his backbone forces from many bandits, increasing the chance of completely eliminating them.
At around 3:30 in the morning, the moon in the sky was already west. Liu Heiqi ordered his bandits to start attacking the factory.
The entire factory was still in silence, as if the fight outside had not affected the personnel inside.
"Liu Tuan, something is wrong. We have been fighting outside for so long, why didn't the people inside move at all?" Lin Chuanju was a little worried.
"It's okay! I asked a few brothers who just joined. They were originally under Yin Laihao and had a clear understanding of the factory's situation. The factory originally had more than 200 guards, and there were nearly 500 guards in the west Lu Village. But just two days ago, the factory was going to repair some machines and gave the workers a holiday. More than 200 people were sent to escort more than 10 foreigners to Qingdao for the holiday. In addition, the 200 people came from Lu Village.
There are many guards, and now there are only more than 300 guards inside. So many of us have been fighting outside for a long time, and those guards inside who are not full of hair are probably scared. I guess they are so scared that they are so scared that they wet their pants? Haha..." Liu Heiqi just got angry with the other bandits No. 1, and now the team's expansion has increased greatly. It is the time when he is proud and proud that he does not take the defense power of the hundreds of people in the factory seriously.
Some bandits next to him burst into laughter after hearing what Liu Heiqi said.
A bandit came over to report the situation and said: "Liu Tuan, there is a ditch about ten feet wide in front of it. The original gray board on the ditch was withdrawn to the ditch by the people inside."
“How deep is the water in the ditch?”
"A brother went down and tried it, it was about the waist-skinned depth."
"What are you afraid of? Just go into the water and go there! The group of furry children in the factory can't make any big waves, so they ask their brothers to go there. Then find the grain and carry it together, which will be millions of kilograms of grain." Liu Heiqi ordered.
After some bandits went into the water and went ashore, they found several prefabricated cement boards that were originally used to build on the ditch not far from the shore, and then organized manpower to lay the cement boards on the ditch again to form a simple bridge.
"Hehe, do those kids think I can't get through the bridge when I cross the river? I'm half a boy and I'm not reliable in doing things." Liu Heiqi was in a good mood and even commented on the gains and losses of the factory guards.
Just after passing the ditch, there was another trench in front. This trench was obviously just dug, and the floating soil on both sides was still piled up there.
"Liu Tuan, it seems that this is the trench dug by the guards inside. Looking at the traces left around, there seemed to be a hundred people staying here." Lin Chuanju analyzed.
"Nothing strange. I must have seen so many of us and heavy machine guns. Those 100 furry kids were so scared that they hid back." Liu Heiqi was very confident.
After the locked door of the factory was opened, some bandits fell into the deep ditch behind the wall. Some bandits fell horizontally and were stabbed by the thorns buried below, pierced from their chest to their backs, and died immediately. Some bandits' feet were pierced through and screamed in pain.
"Damn it, are these furry children all rats? How can they dig ditches?" Liu Heiqi also got angry and ordered: "Go, let the brothers behind come to the ditch, and then carry the gray boards on the ditch to the ditch."
The bandits around hurriedly obeyed the orders.
Shortly after the bandits all crossed the ditches and moved the cement boards on the ditches away, the water surface in the ditches began to drop rapidly, and soon exposed black coal covered with the bottom of the ditches and a row of teacup holes on the ditches walls. The holes also began to inject brown liquid into the ditches and poured onto the coals below.
When the bandits focused their attention on carrying heavy cement prefabricated panels and how to cross the deep ditch in the wall as soon as possible, more than a hundred young men who were quick to move, carrying light and heavy weapons and ammunition from an extremely hidden place near the west side of the factory. They were Zhang Gongyuan's company arranged by Zhao Zhenzhong to block the bandit's retreat. Taking advantage of the moon's sinking and the environment became dark, Zhang Gongyuan led the company to quietly come to a place about a hundred meters south of the ditches and start to get busy.
Using the tools I carried with me, I dug out a foot of gravel and floating soil to expose the thinner small cement boards below. The teenagers uncovered the cement boards and exposed the trench that was one person deep below. After finding a hole, the things behind became simple. They quickly pulled out the cement boards on both sides of the exposed hole from the floating soil and let the floating soil fall into the trenches. Soon, a trench about 300 meters long appeared in front of me. Due to the fact that one foot of gravel and floating soil fell, the depth was reduced, and they could only reach the teenagers' chests. This height was just right for the teenagers to use the trenches to set up light and heavy weapons to block the bandits' retreat, and form front and back attacks with the comrades in the factory.
