Battle of Nanpéng Island Battle of Nanpéng Island ( 南鹏岛战斗 ) was a battle fought between the nationalists and the communists during the Chinese Civil War and resulted in the communist victory . After Guangdong fell into communist hands , a detachment of the nationalist troops held out on Nanpéng Island ( 南鹏岛 ) of Yangjiang .

Babruysk fortress The Babruysk Fortress ( , ) is a historic fortress in the city of Babruysk , Belarus that was built between 1810 and 1836 . It is one of the best surviving examples of fortification architecture and design in the first half of the 19th century . The fortress was constructed in the historic center of the city , at the confluence of the Babruyka and Berezina rivers . It was one of the western Russian fortresses . In 1810 , Tsar Alexander I sent out his military engineer Teodor Narbutt to find a site suitable for building a fortress somewhere on the Dnieper , between Mogilev and Rogachev in order to prepare for the looming threat in Western Europe . However , after his investigation , Narbut advised his superiors that a more strategic position would be on the shore of the Berezina river near Babruysk . This decision was approved by the Chief of Military Engineers , Count Carl Operman , who at the time had authority over all of Russia n forts . On June 4 , 1810 , the Tsar issued an order for the Babruysk fortress to be constructed . Narbut had to resign for health reasons and was replaced by General Major Gabriel Ignatiev . The early fortress comprised five bastion s , multiple soil ridges , and water channels . The basis for the Babruysk fortress was the Babruysk Jesuit house and a smaller Polish fortress , which were built earlier . Only partially completed , the fortress had to face Napoleon ' s invading army in the summer of 1812 . After the French army captured Minsk , General Ignatiev took command of the fort and the city of Babruysk , which served as a holdout for the retreating Russian forces . Soldiers from The Second Russian Army were provided with food and the wounded received medical treatment . After that they were ferried by the Berezina and Dniper to Smolensk , where the main Russian army was stationed . General Ignatiev remained in the fortress and oversaw its defence . The city faced an attack by the forces of General Dombrovski , the Polish Corps Commander of Napoleon ' s Army . The siege lasted for four months , however the fortress held until the French forces began their retreat . Throughout this time Ignatiev was instrumental in collecting intelligence and forwarding it to the high command of the Russian army . Following the Napoleonic wars , in 1820 , the fortress was further rapidly expanded by the addition of 18 more bastions and towers . The fort " Freidrich Wilhelm " was designed according to the plans of the architect A . Staubert in 1822 . Tsar Alexander I himself and his brother arrived in Babruysk on September 24 , 1825 , at the completion of this building phase . By 1900 the fortress lost its military significance and was converted into a jail , used by Polish occupation forces ( 1919 — 1920 , about 1 , 000 deaths ) and used for concentration camp by German occupation forces ( WW2 , about 80 , 000 deaths ) . Today , the Babruysk Fortress is registered as a national architectural monument of Belarus . However , the ruins of the Bobruysk fortress were removed in 2008 when the Bobruysk Ice Palace was erected .

Glasdrumman ambush The Glasdrumman ambush was an attack by the South Armagh Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army ( IRA ) against a British Army observation post . It took place on 17 July 1981 at a scrapyard southwest of Crossmaglen , County Armagh . Background . The crisis triggered by the hunger strikes of Provisional IRA and Irish National Liberation Army ( INLA ) prisoners in 1981 led to an increase in militant republican activity in Northern Ireland . British intelligence reports unveiled the IRA intentions of mounting illegal checkpoints and hijacking vehicles on the IRA - controlled roads in South County Armagh , near the Irish border . To counter it , the British Army deployed the so - called COPs ( close observation platoons ) , small infantry sections acting as undercover units , a tactic introduced by Major General Dick Trant in 1977 . On 6 May 1981 , a day after the death of hunger - striker Bobby Sands , one IRA member from a three - man unit was arrested while trying to set up a roadblock east of the main Belfast - Dublin highway by 12 members of the Royal Green Jackets , divided in three teams . A second volunteer crossed the border , only to be arrested by the Irish Army . The third IRA man escaped , apparently injured . A total of 689 rounds had been fired by the soldiers . The attack . After this initial success , the army continued these tactics . On 16 July , another operation was carried out by 18 Royal Green Jackets soldiers . That night , four concealed positions – Alpha , Bravo , Charlie and Delta – were inserted into the Glassdrumman area , around a scrapyard along the border . The plan was that another unit – called the " triggering " team – would ambush any IRA unit on sight , while the other four would block the expected escape routes . On 17 July the commanders in charge of Alpha and Delta teams , suspecting that the operation had been compromised by the presence of local civilians , ordered the withdrawal of his men . Shortly thereafter , Bravo team was suddenly engaged by automatic fire from an M60 machine gun and AR - 15 rifles fired by six or seven IRA members . The concealed position , emplaced inside a derelict van , was riddled by more than 250 bullets . The team ' s leader , Lance Corporal Gavin Dean , was killed instantly , and one of his men , Rifleman John Moore , seriously wounded . Moore was later awarded the Military Medal . The IRA members fired their weapons from 160 yards away , across the border . Aftermath . British army commanders concluded that risking lives in order to prevent the IRA from mounting roadblocks was untenable . The incident also exposed the difficulties of concealing operations from local civilians in South Armagh , whose sympathy with the IRA was manifest . Several years later , the IRA would repeat its success against undercover observation posts in the course of Operation Conservation in 1990 .

Gaius Carrinas ( general ) Gaius Carrinas ( died 82 BC ) was a Roman politician and general . Carrinas , as a leading member of the Marian party , fought in the civil war against Lucius Cornelius Sulla . He is perhaps best known for commanding Populares forces at the Battle of the Asio River and the Battle of the Colline Gate where he was captured and executed by Optimate forces . In 83 BC , Carrinas commanded with little success troops against the then young Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus . The following year he served as a legate to Gnaeus Papirius Carbo . Again given an independent command , Carrinas was defeated by Metellus Pius in Umbria and again by Pompey and Marcus Licinius Crassus near Spoletium . After this defeat Carrinas found himself besieged in the city yet succeeded in escaping with his troops by taking advantage of a dark and stormy night . After Carbo had left Italy , Carrinas joined his troops with those of Brutus Damasippus and the Samnites under Pontius Telesinus , after which they marched towards Praeneste , where Gaius Marius the Younger was besieged by a detachment of Sulla ' s troops . Unsuccessful in relieving Praeneste , the army marched upon Rome where it was met in battle by Sulla at the Colline Gate . After being defeated in the battle , Carrinas and the other Marian leaders took to flight , but they were captured and put to death by order of Sulla . Their heads were cut off and sent to Praeneste , where they were carried round the walls to inform Marius of the destruction of his friends and the hopelessness of his cause . Carrinas was the father of Gaius Carrinas , consul suffectus in 43 B . C . Although no ancient source mentions the " gens " to which the family belonged , Havercamp supposes " Carrinas " to be a cognomen of the " Albia gens " .
