Li Chokdong asked Cheng Bingrong: "What are you doing here?" Cheng Bingrong, who drank a lot of pit water, was so frightened that his face was like earth. muttered, "Execute with his army. It's better to kill yourself in the water." Li Zuodong said: "Who said that you were executed?" Cheng Bingrong looked at the arrow in Li Zuodong's hand and said, "You're not here to kill me." Lee Chok Tong said: "The military government asked me to supervise the war. What are you going to do?" Cheng Bingrong breathed a sigh of relief. He said to himself, "It seems that my appetite is very blessed. I'll be able to drink two cups in the future."

Li Zuodong saw that Cheng Bingrong could indeed no longer command the troops. Let Cheng Bingrong's subordinates command Liu Tingbi. Conducted by Hu Tingzuo. The third association hurriedly boarded the boat to cross the river. Line to Wutong port. It was intercepted by the Qing army, which had been prepared for a long time. The People's Army retreated into the reeds near the Sandao Bridge. Held with the Qing army for 3 hours. More than 300 people were sacrificed. Difficult to gain a foothold. Still cross the river and return to Castle Peak.

Cheng Bingrong was only removed from his post by Li Yuanhong.

The Battle of Hanyang took a major turn on November 25th. The commanding heights outside Hanyang City, Fairy Mountain, Biandan Mountain, and Moshan Mountain were all lost. The people's army had to engage in a fierce battle with the Qing army in the area of Shilipu between Fairy Mountain and Hanyang City. It is at this critical juncture. Wang Longzhong, the first assistant of the Hunan army stationed in Hanyang, led his troops to withdraw from the front line without authorization. Cross the river and withdraw to Wuchang Lianghu Academy to gather. Gan Xingdian, the second association of the Hunan army, saw Wang Longzhong defeated and left. He also led his troops to retreat to the Hanyang Parrot Island side without authorization.

The withdrawal of the two armies. This has caused a big hole in the already dangerous position of the people's army. The situation has become more sinister. Huang Xing, who was commanding the battle in Shilipu, heard the report. Immediately notified the Wuchang side by phone.

After Li Yuanhong got the news. Immediately sent Jiang Yiwu and Li Zuodong to the Lianghu Academy with cash, wine and meat to reward Wang Longzhong.

Li Zuodong saw Wang Longzhong with a smile on his face: "It's hard work. Great work. WANG Xietong. The governor of Li Du is busy. I really can't spare time. Let us take a look at the brothers who have worked hard." Jiang Yiwu saw that Wang Longzhong was still angry. He comforted him and said, "The king's rulers have always been valiant and good at war. He is really a model for our army. Not sure why at the critical moment of the battle . Evacuate the front line. I just don't understand."

Wang Longzhong said angrily: "Our Hunan army has always been in the front. It is the backbone of the people's army. In these two days of fierce battles. Our soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. But he was repeatedly accused by the Hubei army. The Xiang army really couldn't swallow this breath. And the Hubei soldiers are mostly cowardly. Passive warfare. How can they be worthy to accuse us? Besides, the monthly salary of Hunan soldiers is 7 yuan. And the monthly salary of Hubei soldiers is 10 yuan. Let those Hubei soldiers with a monthly salary of 10 yuan go to war."

Jiang Yiwu smiled slightly when he heard it and said, "It turned out to be such a trivial matter. It's not. I was ordered by the Governor of Ritu. The monthly salary of the Hunan soldiers was also made up to 10 yuan. I've already brought the money. The Hunan soldiers fought bravely and well. Known. Commander Huang will definitely criticize those who speak crookedly. He will definitely coordinate the relationship between the armies of the two provinces well. I hope that the king will take the big picture. Return to the front early . I can't do it without your king on the battlefield."

Wang Longzhong still stubbornly said: "Since Fan, my Hunan army has come out. I don't plan to go back. Who said I wouldn't go back. Let you Hubei people fight the battle in Hubei." Jiang Yiwu said solemnly: "It would be wrong if Commander Wang said this. Battle of Hanyang. It was a war between the revolutionaries of China and the main force of the Qing army. It is related to the major question of whether China will move towards a republic or an imperial autocracy. Again. If the Battle of Hanyang is won. It is also a support for Hunan. If the Hanyang War is lost. Can Hunan still exist on its own?"

Wang Longzhong stopped talking. muttered in a low voice, "Whatever you say. Let me go back to the front. No way." He had the old idea. said that he would not lead the troops back to the front .

Li Yuanhong saw Jiang Yiwu and Li Zuodong couldn't persuade Wang Longzhong. and sent Tan Renfeng. Li Guoyong went to persuade. The two arrived at the Two Lakes Academy. I saw that Wang Longzhong was eating and drinking.

Tan Renfeng said: "There are 100,000 people in front of us. The old man came and begged Wang Xietong to go to the front. I'll get you on your knees." Tan Renfeng pulled Li Guoyong. The two of them knelt down for Wang Longzhong at once.

Wang Longzhong is still eating and singing. Good half a day. Only then did he say unhurriedly: "Old gentleman. So old. Face matters. Let's get up." Tan Renfeng pleaded: "Wang Xietong will not send troops. The old man won't come up."

Wang Longzhong was still eating and drinking.

The adjutant couldn't stand it anymore. Persuaded Wang Longzhong in a low voice: "Wang Xietong. The front is exactly the plan to employ people. We can't die without help. Let's send troops." Wang Longzhong scolded the adjutant: "What do you know. You look at the time to send troops. Go yourself. Anyway, no one else can go."

The two persuaded them to no avail. Li Yuanhong was accompanied by Li Chokdong. and went to persuade in person. Special remuneration is allowed. Wang Longzhong still didn't agree. And on the evening of the second day. Led the troops back to Hunan.

Gong Ren saw that the situation on the battlefield was critical. On the evening of the 25th. led a death squad of more than 200 people organized from the Jixian Pavilion across the river to meet Huang Xing. Ask to go into battle and kill the enemy. These more than 200 people are all selected from the revolutionary elite in the Jixian Pavilion. Both the revolutionary will is resolute. Military quality is also high.

Huang Xing was very happy to see this vigorous death squad. Touch this. Look at that. Compared with the combative, loose and crumbling people's army. This is indeed a commando force worthy of the task. Gong Ren pointed to the military map and said, "The commanding heights of Hanyang are Mozi Mountain, Biandan Mountain, and Fairy Mountain. As long as these three hills are taken. Hanyang will be able to hold it. I am willing to lead the death squad to attack Mozi Mountain, Biandan Mountain, and Fairy Mountain."

Huang Xing patted Gong Ren's shoulder and said excitedly: "Do you want to send another people's army with you?" Gong Ren said, "No. There are not many soldiers. And in the fine. You don't need too many troops to sneak attack. After the battle began. You can send the people's army to cooperate." And agreed if the hill is occupied after that. Just take the ignition.

The death squad quietly walked along the way. I saw the people's army in twos and threes. Shaky. Wounded soldiers here are a bunch. There's a gang there. The soldier is depressed. Lassitude. The common people help the old and the young. Holding the baggage. Carrying possessions. Panic and run to the river. In the midst of rumbling artillery fire . There are constantly civilian soldiers and civilians killed or wounded.

The daredevils saw this tragic situation. Everyone was indignant. They all scolded the Qing army. Determined to fight to the death with the Qing army. The pace of travel is tighter. Tang Qingying touched her scimitar from time to time. Touch her pistol full of bullets. Wei Jinshan has a white cloth tied around her left arm. With a big red strip of cloth on his body that was "death squad". Blood-red eyes. I just look forward to arriving at Mozi Mountain soon. In order to avenge the sacrifice of the Guangdong daredevils.

It's past 11 o'clock at night. The death squad arrived at the foot of Mozi Mountain. Mozi Mountain is located on the south shore of East Lake. It is the most important mountain range among the mountains along the lake. Because of its eastern peak. More than 100 meters high. It is named after the shape of a mill. The pine forests on the mountains are verdant. Lush. Winding path surrounding. Strange stones. There are strange rocks and strange stones such as "bouldering stone" and "bull stone". Colors are different. Lifelike. The spring flows above it. Gurgling.

Gong Ren quietly laid out a sneak attack plan. Caution everyone. Be light when going up the mountain. Make full use of small trees and weeds for cover. Be quick when charging. Be fierce. If you occupy the Mozi Mountain later. Immediately attack the Biandan Mountain connected to Mozi Mountain. The Qing army must not be given a chance to breathe. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gong Ren waved his hand. The death squad immediately fanned up the hill. The dark night sky and lush weeds helped the death squads. Plus the daredevils are mostly military-trained. All act agilely. Athletic. Sneaking up on the top of the mountain. Except for a few Qing troops in the trenches who were sentry. The rest of the Qing army was sleeping.

There was a Qing army sentry who suddenly spotted a death squad. Fired a shot. Shouting: "Someone touched" did not finish the sentence. was already put down by Tang Qingying with a shot. A large number of daredevils were silent. Just rushed into the trenches. Chop and kill the Qing soldiers who are sleeping. The sound of swords and guns striking in ping-pong. Violent wheezing. The screams of despair at the time of death. Mix it all together. Soon. The Qing army left forty or fifty corpses behind. The living fled to the back of the mountain and to the mountain of Biandan.

Gong Ren arranged for a few people to set the fire outside. He led the rest of the people to chase after the ass of the Qing army to Biandan Mountain. The Qing army ran fast. The daredevils chase faster. Some of the daredevils were holding captured machine guns. Sweep towards the fleeing Qing army. The Qing army on Biandan Mountain was awakened. Machine gun. The rifle fired heavily in this direction. In the middle of the night. I can't tell if it's friend or foe. Quite a few Qing troops were shot down. Some of the Qing soldiers died in the sound of curses. Some Qing troops fought back against the mountains with resentment.

The death squads also suffered a lot of casualties. Gong Ren commands the troops. Lunge up. Tang Qingying was the first to rush into the trenches. Where did the unusually nimble scimitar swing. Where the Qing soldiers were not cut off their heads. It's a stab in the heart. Where she appears. Where the enemy's guns are dumb .

Wei Jinshan followed her. Kill the enemy who is still panting for breath for a while. The daredevils rushed in from a bloody path that Tang Qingying had opened. Shoot at the enemy. Fighting. Mix together. Bite with your teeth. Hit your head with a bang. Kick with your feet. It seems that the brain has lost its mind. Only kill. Kill. Kill.

The enemy of Biandan Mountain can't stand it either. Some of them began to retreat down the mountain. The enemies on the hill appear even more chaotic. The red-eyed daredevils who were killed chased and killed. Soon. The gunfire gradually thinned out. The top of the hill was littered with the corpses of Qing soldiers and daredevils.

Gong Ren asked someone to count the team. It was found that there were only fifty or sixty death squad left. And most of them are hung with lotteries. Only then did the male feel that his legs and waist were weak. A touch of slimy. Put it in your hand and smell it. It smells of blood. It turned out to be a gunshot wound in the leg. A stab wound on the waist. Tang Qingying also limped. There are also flowers hanging on the left leg.

Gong Ren immediately ordered the fire. Inform Yamashita Huang Xing. He hurriedly ordered the daredevils to bandage their wounds. Fix up the fortifications. In case of a counterattack by the enemy. Not much time. The people's army sent by Huang Xing has come to Mozi Mountain and Biandan Mountain to change defenses. And bring Huang Xing's orders. Tell the death squad to withdraw first. Rest and recuperate.

Gong Ren led the death squad back to Shilipu. Meet Huang Xing.

Huang Xing held Gong Ren's hand tightly. patted Tang Qingying's shoulder again. Carefully inquired about the injuries of the two men and the casualties of the death squads. He said with emotion: "If only the people's army were so brave and good at fighting with the death squads. Hankow will not be lost. The counterattack on Hankow will not fail either. The Battle of Hanyang wouldn't have been fought so badly. A lot of things came as I didn't expect. When this battle is over. We've got to take it up."

Gong Ren said: "Count on troops like the People's Army to fight positional warfare. It is true that expectations are too high for them. If there is time. We must organize a revolutionary army with revolutionaries as the backbone."

Two people are talking. Suddenly, someone came to report. The Qing army was under the cover of artillery fire. Large-scale attack on Biandan Mountain and Mozi Mountain. Two mountains were lost again. Most of the militia defending the mountain died. All of a sudden, the situation became grim again.

Nov. 26 at 7 a.m. The Qing army attacked Shilipu from the garden. They first bombarded intensively with artillery. Then there was the fierce attack of the Qing army. Due to the loss of the commanding heights of Mozi Mountain and Biandan Mountain. Shilipu was strongly oppressed by the Qing army. The Qing army also made spies bribe the Black Mountain artillery team not far from Shilipu. Mutiny of the artillery corps. Montenegro was thus lost. There was no artillery support. The situation in Shilipu is even more tense. Many of the civilian troops died under the heavy shelling of the Qing army. 4 p.m. Shilipu finally lost.

Huang Xing knew that the overall situation was irreparable. I had to order a part of the people's army to quickly dismantle and transport the parts of the Hanyang Arsenal. A part of the civilian army rushed to transport the important baggage of Hanyang. It's too late to transport it away. Burn them all. so as not to be used by the enemy. The Hanyang ministries are ready to withdraw from Hanyang.

Morning of November 27th. The People's Army continued to retreat backwards. The Qing army advanced from Montenegro to Hanyang City. Amid the rumbling sound of artillery, the Qing army attacked the retreating civilian army more and more frantically. The retreating civilian army was responsible for covering the city walls. Shoot and retreat. In the heat of battle, people are constantly falling. Huang Xing, Gong Ren, and Tang Qingying were along with the covering troops. Retreat at the end.

Huang Xing, Gong Ren, and Tang Qingying boarded the last batch of civilian ships with the retreating civilian army. At this time, the smoky sky was filled with large dark clouds. The clouds are getting thicker and thicker. The more you press, the lower it gets. In the gradual pressure on the surface of the river. The river is choppy. Waves crashing on the shore. Countless old and new. Civilian ships of all sizes formed a procession of refugees. Paddling to the opposite side with all his might. Some of the people's soldiers, the wounded. Dull-faced. The expression is solemn. With mixed feelings, I watched the Qing troops on the shore occupy the positions that originally belonged to the people's army. Some ordinary people are reluctant to look at their destroyed homes. Some people looked at Wuchang, which was full of hope for a new life. Some were crying softly......

Suddenly. The Qing army opened fire from the Turtle Mountain position into the river. In the midst of a violent explosion. Clusters of firelight. Thick black smoke is like a monster. In an instant, the densely arranged wooden ships were torn apart. In a column of water that soars to the sky. Broken wooden boards. The mutilated limbs of a man. Shattered weapons flew into the sky. Almost every shell . have caused significant casualties. Dead bodies floated all over the river. Blood stained the river red. In bursts of swearing. Wail. Crying and screaming. Countless lives have been claimed by artillery fire......

On the river outside the city of Wuchang. Lined up with salvaged corpses. Criss-cross each other and pillow countless times. There are still living people among the dead bodies. Some people choke in pain. Some people are grieving, and some are struggling to climb to the shore from the river. Motionless, I don't know whether I am alive or dead. Some mothers are dead. But the baby has woken up. Searching for breast milk in a sob. The blood-stained river pounded the river bank wave after wave. Layers upon layers of dead bodies floated up with the water......
