"It's over, everything is over!"
Bai Lang looked at the fleeing bandits, his face full of despair.
The gathered bandits had escaped, and the bandits under his command had suffered heavy losses. In this battle, he had already lost almost all of his capital!
"Leader, let's escape. As long as there was life, there would be hope. As long as we can escape back to the mountains, we can still gather another team. At that time, they could still continue to fight against the government troops! It's still unknown who will win!" Mr Lu suggested.
"No, it's not necessary." Bai Lang shook his head. If he was willing to bet, he would rather die a grand death than struggle to survive in the mountains. I've already enjoyed everything in my life. It's worth it.”
"Sigh!" Mr. Lu saw that Bai Lang was already determined to die, so he had no choice but to say nothing more. He turned around and fled with his trusted aides.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in his head. His body fell to the ground.
"Fire!"
At the position of the 1st Battalion of the 25th Regiment, the commander gave the order to open fire.
"Da da!"
The heavy machine gun began to roar, and dense bullets rained down on the fleeing bandits.
"Ah! Ah!"
Miserable screams rang out continuously as a large number of bandits were shot to the ground.
"Damn it, there are government troops here too. We can't escape.”
"I'm dead, I'm dead this time.”
"Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender!”
When they realized that their retreat was cut off, the bandits who had lost their will to fight threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt down to surrender.
The soldiers of the Northern Army had long received orders that bandits who surrendered did not have to be killed.
In this era, heads represented military merits. However, Yuan Baocen did not want his troops to become like this.
Moreover, the Beiyang government had already begun to build the railway from Yanjing to Kulun and Dihua. These bandits could be sent to the construction site to work and make them atone for their sins. This would also reduce the cost of the railway construction. It was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone.
In the battle of Lushan County, the bandits led by Bai Lang were defeated.
More than 10,000 people were killed on the spot, and the rest fled in all directions.
However, with the Northern Army blocking their escape route, these bandits had no way of escaping. If they did not want to die, they could only obediently raise their hands and surrender.
It had only been a few hours since the bandits launched their attack on Lushan County City and were defeated. The 7th Infantry Division of the Beiyang Army had already won a complete victory.
"Commander, the battle is over. The bandits who attacked Lushan County were either killed or captured. Just the captives alone numbered more than 25,000.”Chief of Staff Zhang Xiaozhun was excited.
Although they had only defeated bandits this time, there were still tens of thousands of bandits! The 7th Infantry Division was able to wipe out these bandits with only a small number of casualties, which was already a very good result.
Especially since the 7th Infantry Division was only a new unit that had been formed a few months ago.
After this battle, the 7th Infantry Division's combat strength would definitely be on par with the main force. Coupled with the advantage of the 7th Infantry Division's weapons and equipment, the 7th Infantry Division would definitely become the strongest infantry division in the Chinese army.
"Well done!"
Yuan Baocen was very satisfied with the 7th Infantry Division's performance in this battle. Although their opponents were trash, at least most of the soldiers had seen blood.
This would also make the soldiers less nervous the next time they went to the battlefield.
"Commander, we found Bai Lang's body. The bandits have already identified him.”
Yuan Baocen thought for a moment and said,"Bury them!"”
Zhang Xiaozhun nodded.
"Order the troops to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses. In this season, if they were not dealt with, a plague might occur.”
The sanitary conditions in this era were too terrible. Once a plague broke out, it would be fatal. Who knew how many people would lose their lives because of it.
"Commander, the order has been given.”
"However, Commander, according to the bandits we caught, there was an important person called Mr Lu among the bandits. We didn't catch him, so he might have already escaped.”
"Mr Lu? Do you know his background?"
"I'm not sure, but I guess it should be someone from that side. Otherwise, Bai Lang's troops would not have developed so quickly in such a short period of time.”
Yuan Baocen nodded." It's fine if we didn't catch them. The bandits in Yuxi have already been wiped out. There won't be any trouble."”
