Chapter 139

"Report, the Sixth Division telegraphed, the Beiyang Army has already passed through the Jinghan Road, our department has not been able to arrive before that, and is currently destroying nearly two kilometers of the railway at a hundred kilometers north of Wuhan, and the enemy forces in the direction of Wuhan have been dispatched, requesting instructions on the next move!"

The correspondent's report woke up Yu Ling, who was sleeping on the back chair, and she shook her head violently, trying to wake herself up.

After a few moments, after pouring herself a pot of cold water, she finally came to her senses and asked the correspondent to repeat what she had just said.

"That's enough, let them come back, don't engage in an exchange of fire with the enemy, and at the same time, the mobile division retreats ten kilometers and stands by."

The Messenger quickly recorded Yu Ling's order, and at the same time was almost amused by the way Yu Ling had just woken up.

Without that uniform, the rain spirit, whose clothes, boots, and hair were covered in dust everywhere, would look no different from the usual poor girl in the countryside.

"Why let us go back, where is our mobile division worse than them?!"

The battalion commander sitting next to him looked unhappy, the propaganda in the barracks made him have no doubt about the correctness of his career, and the wartime bonuses of junior officers were related to the frequency of battles, so this kind of order was quite uncomfortable for him.

"It's an order!" Yu Ling struck the table with the butt of his carbine, and the commander of the first battalion understood that this was a sign that his commander was really angry, so he stopped talking.

"Yuan Mingzhang, you continue to expand the fourth batch of trenches backwards, leaving half a regiment on guard in the forward position, and the artillery enters the highest combat readiness." Yu Ling gave such an ordinary order a little lazily.

Although the content of the order was quite urgent, everyone here did not have that impatience, and after the first few days of impatience, they found that it was much more efficient to do a little work than to rush work.

"How long do they have left?" She suddenly stopped again and asked, although she knew that when she opened the map, the Seventh Division was two adjacent squares, but due to the mechanics of the system, she could not see the soldiers' marching expectations.

"If the Seventh Division marches normally, it should have about eighteen hours to reach the position, but considering that it has been marching for so long, it may take more than a day." Yuan Mingzhang calculated in his heart and said, to be honest, he also wanted this batch of 200,000 reinforcements to arrive soon, and then the task of their division would be much easier.

"Hmm...... Fortunately...... "There is plenty of time, and Yu Ling relaxed and picked up the freshly brewed tea.

This small pot of tea, after experiencing various harsh conditions, has a much worse taste than the original.

But in the barracks, this is definitely a treat that everyone will envy" At this time, it would be nice to have such a bottle of inferior liquor. She couldn't help but sigh.

"But that's too lazy." The tea was still quite hot, she could only blow open a few tea leaves floating on the surface, and gently took a sip, but she still accidentally let a few drops of tea fall on the map "Wuhan...... The vanguard of the Beiyang Army should be in Wuhan now, even if Yu Hong blew up the railway first, it would be ......"

"Report! The scouts have spotted an enemy force in Yueyang Mountain! "It was unfortunate that the communications corps reported while his commander was enjoying life. What it brought was news that could not be ignored.

"What?! So fast! Yu Ling was shocked, and the Sixth Division said that the Beiyang Army had just arrived in Wuhan, and now this enemy dared to launch a direct attack...... Where did it fly from? Don't!?

"Call me, hey, reconnaissance company? What do you see those people's clothes look like? She asked eagerly.

"It's about the same as the Beiyang Army, but the clothes are yellow." The Scout's answer confirmed her suspicion.

"What, Day (Harmony Cat) himself." Although I thought that sending six divisions to Ri (Harmony Cat) himself would bring great trouble to himself, all the inferences were based on the premise that Ri (Harmony Cat) himself would let the Beiyang Army play the vanguard, "They came earlier than the Beiyang Army?!" This! ”

Yu Ling really couldn't understand what benefits the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave to Ri (Harmony Cat) himself, so that it could work so hard for a feudal court.

These six divisions can be said to be one of the important capitals of Japan (Harmony Cat) instinctively horizontally, and now it is not it during World War II, once these six divisions are really injured, then all Japan's future foreign plans will be affected.

"Fortunately, a regiment was transferred into position, but there were only two lines of defense in the southeast...... Damn, the explosives haven't arrived yet?! ”

She was a little impatient, after all, this enemy was too special...... Although reason told her that now, the Japanese were not ahead of her troops, but ......

"Send them a report! Get my explosives in five hours! At this time, only explosives can keep her calm and calm.

"Conduct a tentative attack! Let the engineer regiment dig a tunnel from our position to the place where the Japanese army may build a position, dig a little deeper, pay attention to reinforcement, and do not collapse halfway. The order was issued in an orderly manner, but Yuan Mingzhang still noticed that Yu Ling's legs were shaking unconsciously.

"Commander, with all due respect, you're too nervous, this should just be the vanguard of the other side." Although he knew that in terms of theoretical knowledge, he was not as good as Yu Ling, but the on-the-spot experience was still more experienced than him, who had been on the battlefield at least once.

"No, not necessarily, the Beiyang Army is a train, it can be determined, however, the Japanese can transport troops from the Yangtze River, it is possible that their main forces have arrived, what is the Ministry of Intelligence doing, such important intelligence can not be heard!"

However, Yu Ling, who was already panicking, was obviously not so easy to calm down, and Yu Ling even felt that he was getting more and more excited.

"Commander-in-chief, according to the Ministry of Intelligence, the actual strength of a division of the Japanese Army is about 20,000, a total of about 120,000, which is about the same as our estimate, but the Beiyang Army, even if you add the towns of the Qing Dynasty's new army, will not exceed 160,000 in total, and it is impossible for them to take all these people to fight."

"So, the enemy's strength is about the same as ours...... And, as long as we win this battle...... Directly along the railway to the north to take over the North (Harmony Cat) Beijing. Yuan Mingzhang's words couldn't help but make Yu Ling look sideways.

There is some truth to this, but in reality, it is not too true.

No matter how the Manchu Qing Dynasty is, they will leave their more than 10,000 imperial forest troops behind, and Yuan Shikai can take advantage of their loopholes, it doesn't mean that she can, it's still a tough battle. In any case, it is also the garrison of the Qing Dynasty royal army, even if this unit is portrayed as a smoker in the history books, it must be treated with a spirit of twelve.

"Notify the logistics department to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and pull enough for me, so I can give some money to appease their families."

However, it did impress Yu Ling, if the current strength cannot guarantee victory, then ......

Although human beings always want to move in the direction of light, the more they desire the sunshine and the more they need to go up, the more darkness they need at the root.

She has been, no longer suffering, for this.

"Commander, there are not enough guns! A few days ago, the Seventh Division was still complaining, and some companies had two people using one gun. ”

"Execute the order."

"Also, tell everyone that if the Japanese approach, they are not allowed to shoot without an order! Riflemen are not allowed to take the lead! The machine gunner is not allowed to enter the machine gun position! ”
