Cai Ye and the others looked at the Krupp mountain guns and were stunned for a few minutes, the person in charge of the "guard" on the side was a little impatient, and a platoon commander who led the team urged with some pride in his voice, "I'll say a few, our young commander is waiting in front, or don't ink, it's just a cannon, what is there to see." ”

Cai Ye and the others immediately came back to their senses, and shook their heads with a secret sigh, "Cannon, that's it, damn, this is not an ordinary rifled gun made by the Qing court itself, I'm afraid you don't know that there are only a few Krupp mountain cannons in the whole country, and at present, I only know that the Beiyang New Army stationed around the capital may have equipment, alas, forget it, I'm too lazy to worry about a small soldier with you." ”

He had already seen a cluster of people in front of these cannons, and thought about it, it should be the young commander they were talking about, and he didn't know who this young commander was, Commander Huang was not there. Then the group walked over.

Approaching, I found a group of people surrounded by a young man, the young man was sitting on a wooden bench looking at his side, Cai Ye hurriedly stepped forward and saluted a Western-style military salute, after all, there has been an uprising, and it has to be according to the system of the Western army.

solemnly repeated what he had just said to Huang Zhongyuan: "Cai Yi, the commander of the 72nd Standard 2nd Battalion of the Kunming New Army, is now leading more than 500 people to declare an uprising, and came to join the revolutionary rebel army led by Commander Huang. ”

Huang Zhongting paused for a moment and muttered: "Cai Ng, it won't be the Yunnan King Cai Que in the early Republic of China, there shouldn't be many people named Cai Ng, it should be him, hahahaha, I found a treasure." ”

Huang Zhongting, who was familiar with history in his previous life, knew this Cai Ye very well, and he graduated from Tokyo Datong High School, Yokohama East Asia Commercial School, and the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. In the late Qing Dynasty, he devoted himself to the revolution in Yunnan, unified the whole territory of Yunnan, and occupied a place in the era of warlord chaos at that time.

Huang Zhongting thought that since you came, you can't leave, follow me, and make sure you eat and drink spicy food in the future, haha.

Thinking about it, I laughed unconsciously.

At this moment, Cai Ye and the others are a little confused, what are they laughing at, aren't we just revolting, aren't we rebelling, as for laughing like this on this occasion, heh, little brat.

Before Li Desheng next to Huang Zhongting met, Cai Ye and the others slowly frowned, and quietly stabbed Huang Zhongting with his arm.

"What are you doing?" Huang Zhongting hadn't come back to his senses all of a sudden, and when he looked up, he was staring at himself for unknown reasons, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape.

After coughing a few times to resolve the embarrassment, he said casually: "Oh, the Commander Huang you said should be my father, he is sick, and now I am in charge of the revolutionary army, and you can also introduce the two behind you, and I will see how to arrange a military position for you." ”

Cai Yi's brows furrowed even tighter, what are you doing here in the revolutionary army, let a little kid be in charge of the revolutionary rebel army, what kind of trouble is this.

However, he still frowned, pointed to a tall man in a gray military uniform behind him and replied: "This is Tang Jiyao centurion, this is ......."

"Poofha......" Huang Zhongting directly interrupted Cai Yi's introduction this time, and laughed out loud.

Huang Zhongting was ecstatic in his heart, "Tang Jiyao, another general, is also from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the successor of Cai Yi in the previous life, fought in the south and the north, fought nearly 100 big and small battles, and was also a well-known figure in later generations. What kind of day is it today, and he was sent two rare generals at once. ”

Seeing this, Cai Yi's frowning brows were faintly broken, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he clenched his fists. said angrily in my heart, this guy is too rude, I want to beat this little brat.

This time, Huang Zhongting came back to his senses relatively quickly, and before the meeting, Cai Ye was very angry, realizing that he was out of shape again, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm so happy, I can't help it, you continue, continue!" ”

Cai Yi resisted the idea of beating someone, and then introduced his second centurion, named Chen Guosheng, who graduated from Tianjin Wubei Academy.

Tianjin Military Academy, also known as the Army Military Academy, is the first army academy in China, founded by Li Hongzhang in 1885, using German military instructors, and later destroyed in 1900 during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Huang Zhongting felt that the officers under his command could be divided into three departments, one was the local academy department, the other was the foreign department, and the other was the non-academy department.

At present, there is only one person in the local school department, Chen Guosheng in front of him, and Huang Zhongyuan and Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao, who have just rebelled; There are many departments without a school, and his subordinates Xu Guichuan, Li Desheng, and Li Kan have not received a serious military education, and they all rose through outstanding performance.

Cai Yi also briefly introduced the current situation of the Qing army in Nanxi Town, as well as the fact that the Qing army would delay the attack until the evening because the artillery had not been transported for a long time.

Huang Zhongting said slowly to Cai Yi: "I am very welcome to join you, I believe that the Chinese revolution will eventually win, and the Manchu court will fall sooner or later, so I will be wronged to follow me first, and then arrange a few positions after this battle." ”

Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao, and Chen Guosheng all have no opinion.

Immediately, Huang Zhongting said in a deep voice: "Order, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery battalion will shell the Nanxi Qing army camp on time, and after the artillery stops, order the first and second battalions to attack immediately." ”

"Yes", and then someone ran to give the order.

Don't play, it's boring, go back to dinner early after playing early, and want to play again in the evening, what do you want, now I'm talking about it, it's cold to go back for dinner, Huang Zhongting muttered.

Speaking of eating, Huang Zhongting thought of something, and continued: "Order the General Staff Department to let the logistics department prepare a meal for 500 more people in the evening, and you must put more meat." ”

At present, under the leadership of Li Kan, the General Staff Department has set up several subordinate departments, such as a conscription office, a logistics office, and an ordnance department, and the logistics department is mainly responsible for providing food to the soldiers, because the number of troops is not very large now, and the garrisons of the battalions are relatively not far away.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Qing army in Nanxi had just finished quelling the riots caused by Cai Yi's rebellion.

At this moment, a sharp piercing sound swept through the sky above Nanxi Town, and then a huge explosion sounded on the north side of Nanxi Town.

The shelling began.

The first shell was used for accuracy, and the artillery position on Huang Zhongting's side quickly adjusted Zhu Yuan under the command of the observer, and then two shells were fired, this time in the center of Nanxi Town, two smoke rose, and these two shells were also effective.

This was followed by a salvo of five Krupp mountain guns, round after round of salvos, and bursts of huge explosions came from Nanxi Town, echoing in the silent mountains.
