Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The brother-in-law's adjutant thought about it, and said happily: "Congratulations brother-in-law, this is a great contribution, after this battle, brother-in-law will definitely be promoted and make a fortune."

Ma Jizeng, who was talking about it, was also feeling relieved for a while, but he still said with a serious face on his face: "Go, tell the brothers, don't shoot indiscriminately, and wait for the militiamen to approach before you open fire. In addition, kill these gangsters, and everyone will be rewarded." Ocean five."

Chapter 012 Counterattack Hankou ([-])

On the side of the militia, the attacking phalanx with the team as the unit has been arranged neatly.

Liu Yutang, Commander of the Second Aid to Hunan Army, looked at the young faces of the thousands of officers and soldiers under him, and at the Qing army in the distance, who was already in full battle. After a moment of hesitation, he drew out his command knife: "Expel the Tartars!" , restore China, kill, brothers!"

An earth-shattering cry also roared from the heaving chests of nearly four thousand officers and soldiers of the Second Association: "Kill!"

According to the beating of the drummer of the military band, the attacking phalanx stepped on the beat of the drum and pressed towards the defensive position of the Qing army very imposingly.

As the attacking phalanx continued to approach the position of the Qing army, the officers and soldiers of the Second Association in the phalanx felt a little nervous.The brain began to stop thinking, and all eyes were fixed on the enemy in front, but the body still continued to move forward with the drumbeat as a conditioned reflex.

At 100 meters, the enemy still did not open fire, and the face of the Qing army on the opposite side was clearly visible.This made people feel depressed consciously or unconsciously. The officers and soldiers of the Second Association even had the illusion of being shot on the execution ground, because they were all waiting for the sound of the enemy's gunfire.

Although he was arranged to stay at the Boai Academy, Wang Zhenyu chose to leave the officers and soldiers of the battalion in the academy to organize the defense, while he and Ma Xicheng went up.Now he follows Wang Longzhong, watching everything on the battlefield with a Zeiss binoculars made in Germany.The Qing army on the opposite side is indeed an elite Beiyang army. The enemy still did not shoot when they entered the distance of a [-]-meter charge.This is really an eye-opener. If I have such an army in hand, I guess not only the problem of survival will be solved, but there will be nowhere to go in this world. Wang Zhenyu can't help secretly envious.

At this moment, Wang Longzhong put down the binoculars in his hand, shook his head and said, "Liu Yutang is probably going to suffer a bit this time, and the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side are not very good. But the Yudai Gate should still be taken down, and he, Liu Yutang, leads the troops It can be regarded as a set... "

The voice was not weak, and the long-awaited opening fire of the Qing army finally came, "Da da da da da da da da da...".

Just like millions of firecrackers were fired in later generations, Ma Jizeng's heavy machine gun fired, and the bullets poured down towards the militia's attacking phalanx like a torrential rain.Such ferocious firepower made Wang Longzhong, Wang Zhenyu and others stunned immediately. This is probably not a small loss, but a kick to the iron plate, which is a big loss.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Association fell in pieces like mowing grass, and there were over a hundred casualties in an instant.The entire attacking team was in a mess, and the officers and soldiers stopped charging and lay down on the spot. The Beiyang army had already cleared this area. There was no bunker in the 50-meter open field. In addition, the Qing army shot down from a high position and fell down. This posture cannot avoid the occurrence of casualties.

Liu Yutang, who was in the rear, was also taken aback, the firepower on the other side was so fierce, he heard that the number of heavy machine guns alone should be at least two or three guilds, he looked back at Huang Xing suspiciously.

Huang Xing seemed to have seen through Liu Yutang's mind: "Brother Yutang, let the brothers charge harder, the enemy on the other side has more firepower, guarding such a large ammunition depot as the Yudai Gate, it is enough to have a firepower configuration of a whole town Not surprising"

Liu Yutang blushed, thinking about it, and immediately called the adjutant: "Quickly, organize a death squad immediately, and we must attack."

A [-]-member death squad from the Second Association immediately dispersed and charged towards the Qing army's position at the most astonishing speed.The officers of the other units of the Second Association immediately began to urge their soldiers to stand up and attack.

This death squad really made the Qing army flustered for a while. After all, hundreds of people rushed over scattered, and thirty machine guns would not be able to take care of them for a while. But don't forget, there are still soldiers in the trenches under the railway embankment. Nearly a thousand Beiyang infantrymen, now it's their turn to shoot and roll their names.

These Beiyang soldiers are indeed the elite trained by Yuan Gongbao. The biggest difference from the old army is that they have a high level of shooting and are bold.In other words, it is much more professional in the face of war than other Chinese armies of the same period, and the bullets it shoots almost bite the flesh.

The officers and soldiers of the death squad rushed to the Qing army's position one after another. Although they all regarded death as home and were energetic enough to inspire the sun and the moon, they could not avoid the evil bullets one by one.

As the last unwilling revolutionary officer was shot and fell to the ground, the offensive that had been organized with great difficulty was easily crushed again.

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while, alas, it would be great if there were grenades or artillery, the two are the same, and the defensive position in front of him would not be so difficult to fight.But cannons aside, the grenade seems to have appeared in the Russo-Japanese War, but why didn't the new army equip it?You know, this little thing was a must-have weapon for warlords of all walks of life during the melee period of the democratic warlords.

Just as Wang Zhenyu was thinking about it, the officers and soldiers of the Second Association had slowly retreated to their starting positions, and their morale was seriously damaged.This wave of attacks did not even touch the hairs of the Qing army's positions, and lost more than 400 people, accounting for [-]% of the total strength of the Second Association.With such a large number of casualties, the remaining officers and soldiers were unwilling to face such fierce firepower from the other side no matter how much the officers encouraged them.

Wang Zhenyu finally broke away from the history textbook, and really felt the powerful combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army.The cowhide is not bragging, the train is not pushed, it is worthy of being a famous reactionary army that has been repeatedly criticized in history textbooks, people who are reactionary have capital, and their combat effectiveness is not ordinary fierce.

In the headquarters, Huang Xing suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.Facing such ferocious firepower and such a capable soldier, he didn't know what to do when he kicked the iron plate.

Liu Yutang was busy counting the team and comforting the wounded.Over there, Gan Xindian organized the Third Association to attack once. This old Gan was obviously overwhelmed by the firepower of the Qing army, and retreated before the enemy's bullets could reach them.Seeing Huang Xing shaking his head, this kind of performance is not as good as the second association.

Huang Xing could only look at Wang Longzhong, after all, everyone knew what happened to the 4000 members of the Hui Party.Pressing a position is to flatter them, at most it's just gathering a large number of people to make a strong momentum, and if it's any better, it's just to fight a tailwind or something, don't expect more.Right now, it is estimated that they have to go to the first association. Before they played Boai Academy, their third battalion performed very well.

But Wang Longzhong shook his head with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, don't look at the firepower of the other party. As far as the distance from this place to the station is concerned, it is not difficult to replenish it no matter how big the consumption is. And our only advantage now is the large number of people. Fierce firepower, I guess at least half of our [-] Huxiang disciples have to explain here. You make up your mind, and my old king will execute it."

Wang Longzhong is also a wonderful person. Huang Xing's heart was completely withdrawn when he said it earlier, but Huang Xing's addiction was lifted by the latter sentence.

Huang Xing gritted his teeth, and said: "Everyone launched an attack together, with one effort, we must take this place. Brothers, go!"

More than 1 militiamen launched a general attack on Ma Jizeng's position, but Wang Zhenyu did not participate in this general attack.He is a bald commander now, even if he rushed up as a big soldier, it would be useless, clan uncle Wang Longzhong rushed out with Huang Xing.Watching a large mass of militiamen swarming towards the Qing army like a wave, Wang Zhenyu truly felt for the first time what it meant to be boundless and boundless.

It's a pity that although the tide of tens of thousands of people rushed to the shore of the Qing army, it was ruthlessly crushed by its ferocious firepower.

It's also depressing, if Huang Xing played general attack from the beginning, maybe he could still get in.At first, most of the machine gunners from Ma Jizeng didn't know how to play, but after the two rounds of unsuccessful attacks by the militia, they all became veterans.Secondly, the morale of the civilian army was not bad at that time, but now after seeing the tragedy of the Second Association, morale has become quite unreliable.

So the tragic scene in front of Wang Zhenyu's eyes was not a war at all, but a massacre.

The civilian army suffered a disastrous defeat, with 800 casualties and failed to achieve a breakthrough, and the sky gradually darkened. . .

According to the "History of the War of [-]", during the attack on Yudaimen Station in the Battle of Counterattack Hankou, the Second Co-Commander of the Aid Hubei and Hunan Army of our People's Army launched an attack on the Beiyang Army position at Yudaimen. The Qing army relied on its firepower to fight back. During the attack of our civilian army, countless passionate men fell on the way to charge.The Revolutionary Officer Death Squad organized by Liu Yutang, the commander of the Second Association, all fell in front of the Beiyang Army's position, and the corpses were in a complete offensive formation. Still ungrammed. . .

He kept defeating Tian Hei, but the Yudai Gate could not be defeated. Huang Xing really had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw.In this era, there is no such thing as lighting up night battles, because even military beginners know that night battles cannot be played casually.Because of the quality of the army, night blindness and many other reasons, the end of night raids is often that before you can hit the opponent, your own troops will collapse on their own because they cannot find an officer.Therefore, this kind of business with a high probability of losing money is generally not dared to do.As a last resort, Huang Xing could only issue an order to retreat and reorganize, and the military operation to counterattack Hankou had actually failed so far.

That night, where the wartime headquarters was located, Boai Academy.Huang Xing and Wang Longzhong had a fierce quarrel over whether to retreat. . .

"Commander Huang, although my old king is not a military god, but the battle has come to this point, our best choice now should be to retreat to Hanyang overnight. It is impossible to raid Yudai Gate. Now retreat, at least still If you can hold on to Hanyang, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to fight all the way here, and it will be all over if you lose Hanyang." Wang Longzhong's loud voice was the first to yell.

Huang Xing also became emotional: "Wang Xietong, this Yudaimen station is very important to our army. Even if we all sacrifice, we must take this station. Don't bring up the retreat."

"It's a joke, Commander Huang, we're all here, who will guard Hanyang?" Wang Longzhong retorted immediately.

"Wang Xietong, how could the revolution be without sacrifices? I, Huang Xing, don't want the revolutionary comrades to bleed like this, but look at the fighting power of the Qing army on the opposite side? If we don't take Yudaimen station as soon as possible, so as to cut off their back Lu, if we cut off their supplies and win with odds, just relying on retreating to Hanyang to fight head-on, with our strength, can we hold it? Can we hold it?" Huang Xing was also angry.

At this time, the tall Liu Yutang stood up: "Commander Huang, my old Liu is different from his Wang Longzhong. I am not afraid of death. How do you explain tomorrow? My old Liu will go up first."

Wang Longzhong was furious when he heard the words: "Liu Manzi, who the hell are you saying is afraid of death?"

Liu Yutang and Wang Longzhong were always at odds, and the two immediately bumped into each other chest to chest, glaring at each other as if their eyes were about to breathe fire.If it weren't for Li Shucheng, Gan Xindian and the others reacting quickly, each hugging one another, the two sides would have almost started fighting on the spot.

Wang Longzhong shook off Gan Xindian's pulling and said to Huang Xing angrily: "I, Wang Longzhong, also know that the military order is like a mountain, but Commander Huang, your order to send brothers to death, I'm sorry Wang, you can do whatever you like tomorrow. I, Old Wang, will just be there to cheer and encourage everyone. I, Wang, will never stop anyone who wants to go to death. For this kind of foolishness, forgive Wang for not being with me."

That means that my brother will not play with you tomorrow. Liu Yutang immediately shouted: "It's a shame that you still have the nickname Wang Daudao. It's a shame for our Hunan Army. You won't go up, right? Without you, I will still be able to attack tomorrow." Enter this station. I still don’t believe it, without you, King Butcher, you still have to eat hairy pigs.”

Wang Longzhong glared at Liu Yutang fiercely, and rushed out of the room without saying anything.

Gan Xindian hastily said to Huang Xing: "Our brothers in the Hunan Army are so hot-tempered. After the quarrel, it will be fine. Commander Huang, don't worry. It's just that Wang Xietong's words are correct. We haven't beaten them today. How can we fight tomorrow?" Come down, besides, after one night, no matter how late the reinforcements from the Tartars will probably come up. Commander Huang, look..."

Chapter 013

At 11:17 a.m. on November [-]th, it was just dawn, knowing that the enemy on the opposite side must have reinforcements.Huang Xing still refused to give up the last ray of hope. He ordered all the ministries to concentrate all their forces on the Yudai Gate. The militiamen without heavy weapons lined up and charged again towards the Beiyang Army's position at the Yudai Gate. Army reinforcements did not arrive. (You really think the Qing army is a turtle!)

People fell down constantly along the way, and many died gloriously without even seeing the enemy face to face.Morale was severely hit again, and the civilian army was showing signs of collapse. Huang Xing was in a state of anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.He could only shout: "Comrades, go up! For the sake of the big man, for the sake of China, go up!"

The soldiers were all lying on the ground, no matter how much the officers held hands and kicked, they refused to step forward. However, the veterans of the Beiyang Army were very accurate with their marksmanship. After a few shots, some brave officers were honored.As a result, the soldiers of the militia were even more reluctant to charge.Looking at this scene, Huang Xing was burning but helpless.

"Huh...boom" The sky was getting brighter, and as the shelling of the Beiyang Army began, the last straw that broke the camel's camel finally came.

The first to collapse is the armed forces of the party that can only fight with the wind.First, a few people fled, and then three or 4000 people rushed away with "the idea was difficult, the wind was tight, and the wind was tight, and the wind was tight, and the wind was tight." The officers and soldiers of the Hunan Army on this side of the battlefield were dumbfounded.However, the one who runs first may not be able to escape, and I don’t know that the blind leader is leading the way. Most of the party members run towards the right side of the battlefield. Ma Jizeng’s cavalry attack happens to be in this direction, so there is nothing to worry about. Hesitant.Ma Ji once waved the flag, and more than a thousand cavalry rushed out, and the sharp saber directly slashed across the bodies of these party heroes who prided themselves on being brave and fearless, blood splattered, one revolutionary after another (Do they know what the Three Rebellions are?) They were chased down by Qing cavalry.The hero of the party may regret the most now is to participate in this feathery revolution, and the most hopeful thing is to run faster than their comrades, so that they can survive.As for the horses that can run past the Qing army, they are very sober, that is a cold joke.

The cavalry of Ma Jizeng's cavalry was very enjoyable to kill, but this is nonsense. Facing an opponent who sold his back to you, if you still can't enjoy killing, then you don't know what else can make you enjoy.These cavalrymen worked very hard and seriously, all pointing to the blood of this gang of rebels to replace themselves with red caps?So when they wield their knives, they completely disregarded the fact that they are also Han Chinese, and those who slashed and killed were actually brothers of the same ethnicity.No matter, they looked excitedly at the chaotic party fleeing in front of them, as if it was not a fresh life, but a step for them to get promoted and make a fortune, chopping, chopping, chopping up a bright future.From time to time, a militiaman was beheaded by a sharp saber. Some militiamen couldn't run away and raised their guns to block them. As a result, people were knocked into the air, their arms were cut off, and they were so painful that they couldn't even cry out. Sick on the spot.

As the cavalry of the Qing army attacked, the defeat spread from one point to the whole line.

Gan Xindian followed the Second Association with the Third Association. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he immediately ordered all the battalions to retreat in the direction of Bo'ai College without waiting for Commander-in-Chief Huang's order.He knew that there were boats near the academy, and Wang Longzhong's first order after he got angry yesterday was to let the boats approach and prepare for the retreat in advance, which came in handy.With the order to retreat, Gan Xindian's nose almost twisted in anger. Are these officers all here through nepotism?He didn't go to military school, so he didn't even stay in a blocking force, so he ran back in a swarm.Before Gan Xindian had time to reprimand him, he was surrounded by the rebellious soldiers and ran wildly together.

Liu Yutang's Second Xie Ding was already intertwined with the infantry of the Beiyang Army at the forefront, and it was already impossible to withdraw.Liu Yutang, who was extremely sad and indignant, gave the order to retreat, and at the same time rushed up with the guards himself, and fought desperately with the attacking Beiyang army.No matter how tall and brave Liu Yutang is, he couldn't perform at all in the face of the well-trained Beiyang army. Before he killed a few Qing soldiers, a sinful bullet passed through his chest. Liu Yutang saw Looking at the bleeding wound on his chest, and at the clearly visible Qing army on the opposite side who were getting closer and closer, he fell down unwillingly.
