Just when the revolutionary army on the Hankow front delayed the fighters. However, the Qing army accelerated the pace of strengthening the lineup. The Qing Cabinet issued an edict. On the one hand, Yuan Shikai was appointed as the minister of the Qin Mission. Commanded the army and navy of the Hubei front. On the other hand, 1 million taels of silver were allocated in the palace. Allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the degree branch. Exclusively for front-line soldiers' pay.

Dawn on October 27th. The Qing army was divided into three routes. Attack on the People's Army. One route is the three road bridges in Hukou. Attack on Liujiamiao. One route to Daijiashan to the paper mill. i.e. to attack the left flank of Liujiamiao. The other route is the Yangtze River Fleet. Attack the right flank of the People's Army at Liujiamiao. These left and right flanks are the "soft underbelly" of the people's army, and it seems that the enemy is very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the people's army. The military deployment is also very sophisticated.

The People's Army also hurriedly divided its ways to meet it. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides. Most of the people in the army are recruits. Not good at using terrain. Not good at aiming and shooting. Under the shelling of the Qing army and the fire of machine guns. Someone is constantly falling. The Civilian Army went to the quartermaster office to pick up the bullets. And the quartermaster said. Zhang Jingliang has an order. Not much to give. Only 10 rounds of ammunition are given to each person. Playing and fighting. Most of the guns of the People's Army were out of fire. The artillery of the people's army was also not as powerful as the barrel artillery of the Qing army. Gradually, it was suppressed by enemy artillery fire.

Fierce battles into the afternoon. The Nationalist army suffered heavy casualties. In particular, Zhang Tingfu, the commander of the fourth co-ordinator, was injured. Most of the casualties in the department. I had to be forced to retreat. The left wing wavered. There was panic in the entire Nationalist Army position. The Qing army advanced from the breach. The second death squad fought valiantly though. Most of the team members died. Ma Rong was wounded and passed out and captured. But still holding their ground. In the end, the team members were killed and wounded. Lost position.

The artillery team was uncovered by infantry. Many artillery pieces were taken by the enemy. The position was again supported by artillery fire. Especially at this critical juncture. Zhang Jingliang also ordered the bullets and baggage of Liujiamiao to be burned. In the midst of this continuous explosion and skyrocketing fire. It makes the civilian army on the front line even more panicked and confused. The enemy's charge was even more ferocious and rampant. In the rampant offensive of wave after wave of Qing troops. The Nationalist Army finally retreated on all fronts.

After the enemy occupied Liujia Temple. On the sleepers erected one by one at the train station. Tied up with a dozen daredevils who were still breathless. They were bloodied one by one. Scarred. Some are still in a coma. Hanging his head weakly. Some are still awake. With your noble head held high.

In front of them were rows of soldiers of the Qing army with loaded guns and fierce ammunition. In front of the soldiers is arrogance. The invincible Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao stared at his eyes that were almost on fire. Viciously glancing at the captured daredevils. Then he raised his hand and shouted to the Qing soldiers: "New army soldiers. These dozen or so are the rebels of the 8th Engineering Battalion. Miss me Zhang Biao. Treat them well. Why did they treat me like this. It's really hard to figure out. They are ruthless. I don't know how many of our brothers have been killed. Now there is revenge for revenge. Redress of grievances. Brethren. Kill it."

Zhang Biao protected Ma Rong. The Qing soldiers shouted. Suddenly. These daredevils were stabbed by these Qing soldiers. All died tragically on the pillars.

Zhang Biao looked back. Sneered and asked Ma Rong, "How are you going to die?" Ma Rong raised his head with all his might. With flesh-and-blood eyes open, there is no fear. "In the hands of you full of minions. Whatever you want. Kill if you want to. If you want to cut it, cut it. Come and have fun." Zhang Biao smiled and said, "You want to come and have a good time. It's not that easy. Brothers, don't give him pleasure. One person, one knife. Skinned him alive."

Ma Rong shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the New Army. We are all Han Chinese. Why should you serve the Manchurians. Hurry up and make a revolution," he said, with one of his fingers shaved off. A stream of hot blood shot out." Soldiers of the Forces nouvelles. We soldiers rise up for revolution. It is to overthrow an authoritarian government. The emperor can't be left to the last word. We are here to build a republic. Achieving a democratic society. Everyone has democratic rights...... "His other finger was cut off again." We can't kill each other. Our enemies are them. It's Zhang Biao. It's Yin Chang. It's Yuan Shikai. It was the Manchu Emperor who had one of his hands cut off. Blood flow is like an infusion. The flesh turned out. White bones are exposed. A New Army soldier began to skin him......

Ma Rong was speechless. The breasts are violently bent together. The tenacious vitality is in the final struggle with death. His face turned pale. The eyes looked weakly at the sky. There are dark clouds in the sky. The guns that killed the people's army were still ringing one after another. Countless places of gunpowder smoke drifted into the air one by one. Soon it merged with the gray sky. A little bird chirped miserably. Fleeing in terror in the heavens. Didn't fly far. I'm scared. Falling from the sky. A flock of sparrows flew around in shock. There's nowhere to settle down. They had no choice but to fly high into the air. Find a space where you can hide from the brutal killing.

It's the turn of a new army soldier again. He was terrified. A trembling hand picked up the knife. But he didn't dare to move forward. Zhang Biao took out a gun from his waist. Gun to the back of his head. Hoarsely shouted, "Hurry up. Quick start. Or I'll kill you." Said that he was on fire. The soldier looked at the bloody arm. A large piece of human skin hung only a little from his arm. A strip of bright red white bone and red flesh vaguely has the outline of an arm......

"Long live the republic......" Ma Rong breathed in front of his last breath. I mustered up the last of my strength. The last cry came from the heart. This sentence only rushed to the throat." Grunt twice. He never shouted it again, and only he understood it in his heart.

……

Civilian army defeated from the front. and organized a defense in the area of Dazhimen. And at this time, the shadow of the front-line commander Zhang Jingliang can no longer be found. The commanders of the various teams of the People's Army held an emergency meeting that night at the Huayang Hotel in Hankou. Discuss contingency measures. One by one, I couldn't help but hate Zhang Jingliang very much.

Xiong Bingkun scolded: "This Zhang Jingliang. Withhold our bullets. forced us to fight with the Qing army with bayonets. More than 300 of our brethren; Because there are no bullets. before he was killed by the machine guns of the Qing army." Wu Zhenglin scolded: "This Zhang Jingliang is really a blind command. Looking at the weak positions on the left flank . And don't go for reinforcements. As a result, the second standard commander of the artillery team, Cai Demao, was killed. The second death squad died almost entirely. How did it work. How?" Hu Xiaoqian also scolded: "There are even more hateful ones. Moment of truth. Burned bullets and baggage. Messing up the hearts of our troops. Grow the enemy's ambition. Damn. Damn." The more people scolded, the more they hated. The more you hate, the more you scold.

That's when someone came to report. Zhang Jingliang is hiding in a private house. Everyone happened to have nowhere to vent their anger. Immediately sent someone to arrest Zhang Jingliang. The bundle was sent to the Hankou Military and Political Branch. Interrogated by Director Zhan Dabei himself.

Zhan Dabei saw that the situation in Hankou was so critical. I'm also anxious. There are many mysteries in my heart that cannot be solved. I was also about to ask Zhang Jingliang for clarification. So he immediately interrogated Zhang Jingliang. Zhan Dabei asked, "You are the commander-in-chief of Hankow. Why let the quartermaster withhold the bullets of the Civilian Army. This is not your order."

Zhang Jingliang said: "It was my order." Zhan Dabei asked again: "At the moment when the battle is fierce. burned our bullets and baggage. It's not an order from you." Zhang Jingliang said: "It was my order." Zhan Dabei asked again: "You are not in the headquarters to command the battle. Instead, he ran everywhere and shouted. Our army was defeated. Our army was defeated. And escaped from the battle. Absent without leave. Isn't it?" Zhang Jingliang said unhurriedly: "There is another charge you said. It's why the Qing army knows so much about our deployment. Why do they always hit us to the core?" Zhan Dabei said: "Yes. That's right. You didn't do this." Zhang Jingliang smiled and said, "What you said. I did it." Zhan Dabei asked him again: "You have done such bad things. What the hell is it for?" Zhang Jingliang snorted and said, "I have only one purpose. That is. I can finally repay the Qing Dynasty for its kindness to me today."

Zhan Dabei scolded: "It's been a long time. You're still a dog in the Qing Dynasty. Li Yuanhong is really blind. How can I make you the commander-in-chief?" Zhan Dabei thought for a moment and asked, "Our comrades are watching you. How did you get the information out?" Zhang Jingliang shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this." After speaking. I closed my eyes. Not a word. Zhan Dabei looked soft. He was sentenced to a heavy sentence. I didn't expect Zhang Jingliang, this kid to be hard, and he didn't eat it. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Zhan Dabei couldn't ask for any more confessions. I'm afraid to solve to Wuchang. He was forgiven by Li Yuanhong again. He was shot at Hankou and Hanguan. Then the head of the owl is displayed to the public.

On the night of October 28th. The commanders of the various departments gathered at the Huayang Hotel to discuss. Someone has to be in charge. Hu Ying was unanimously elected commander-in-chief. Hu Ying said that she did not understand military affairs and resolutely did not accept it. The crowd elected Luo Hong as the commander-in-chief. Luo Hongsheng refused to accept it. Say that you can't do it. There is no way for the crowd to do it. I had to defend in the Hankou defensive position. Each has its own responsibility.

In fact, the Hankow front was already at a critical juncture without a commander. The situation of the People's Army is precarious.

At this critical juncture. Huang Xing, who is known for leading the armed uprisings, arrived in Wuchang at 5 p.m. on October 28. This undoubtedly reassured the Hubei military junta. It also lifted the spirit of the people's army.

Huang Xing learned the news of the Wuchang Uprising in Hong Kong. Leave Hong Kong immediately. Arrived in Shanghai on October 24th. That same evening. He held a meeting with the revolutionaries in Shanghai. It was decided that he and Song Jiaoren would immediately go to Wuchang. Because at this time Shanghai, Nanjing and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were under the control of the Qing army. Huang Xing is again a wanted criminal by the Qing army. So I had to organize the Red Cross ambulance team by Zhang Zhujun, a female doctor who sympathized with the revolution. Sail to Wuhan on a British steamer for field service. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren disguised themselves as doctors and mixed in. Xu Zonghan, a member of the female league, went together as a nurse.

After their group arrived in Wuchang. He was immediately warmly welcomed by Li Yuanhong, the junta personnel and the revolutionary masses. Li Yuanhong, who had been waiting at the gate of the junta for a long time, saw Huang Xing coming. Hurry forward to meet it. Affectionately holding Huang Xing's hand. said: "At this time, it is the autumn of survival. I Hubei military and civilian enterprise pan Mr. Like a seedling in a long drought, looking forward to the rain; The rough sailing ship hopes for a good helmsman. I'm really looking forward to wearing it."

Huang Xing held his hand tightly and shook his head and said, "Where did you go. I'm a martial artist. can only be a pawn waving the flag and shouting. How can I stand such praise from you." Li Yuanhong said: "You are too modest. Yi Mr. Talent and Prestige. Wuhan is saved." Huang Xing said: "Everything has to count on the support of the Hubei military government. I'm new here. Everything is at the mercy of the Governor." Li Yuanhong said: "The Hankou front is lacking a front-line commander-in-chief. If Mr. is not suspicious. Please rush to the front line in Hankow immediately to direct the battle." Huang Xing said decisively: "Thanks to the trust of the Governor of Lidu. I am willing to shed all my blood for the Hankow Revolutionary Army."

The main officials of the junta lined up. Li Yuanhong introduced Huang Xingyi one by one. Huang Xing also warmly shook hands with them one by one. Inquire about the situation. It's time to get to the end. Huang Xing suddenly found the head to tie the hero knot. Dressed in black, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying.

Didn't wait for Li Yuanhong to introduce. Gong Ren shook Huang Xing's hand excitedly and said, "Mr. Huang. The third death squad, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying, report to you." Huang Xing looked at Gong Ren and Tang Qingying's black clothes affectionately. I looked at a large strip of red cloth that they were carrying cross-body. Then he touched the rifles and sabers on them. He said, "Okay. All right. All right. There's you guys here. I've got more backbone."

Gong Ren happily said to Huang Xing: "The war is urgent. You're here. You are relieved that our revolutionary party is here." Huang Xing humbly patted Gongren's shoulder and said, "I have to count on you in the future. You know more about this place than I do." Li Yuanhong smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that you have known each other for a long time. I don't need to introduce it. The death squad is the soul of our army. They charge ahead. Clear the way for the people's army. Retreat in the rear. Cover the retreat of the people's army. It is really a model for our army."

Huang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Governor Lidu. Can I borrow something from you?" Li Yuanhong smiled and said, "Why are you so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it." Huang Xing said: "How about this death squad lend me a use." Li Yuanhong was slightly stunned. Then there was a burst of laughter. He said generously, "That's 400 warriors. They are my flesh. All right. I reluctantly cut my love. This death squad is under your command." Huang Xing said repeatedly: "Thank you. Thank you."

At this time, Tang Qingying and Xipin discovered Xu Zonghan. They didn't want to listen to Li Yuanhong's nagging. went around and took Xu Zonghan's hand. Tang Qingying shouted and asked this and that. Xipin looked at Xu Zonghan and smiled slightly. Silent.

Tang Qingying glanced at Huang Xing. asked Xu Zonghan without hesitation: "Mr. Huang is so handsome. When are you and Mr. Huang going to have a happy event? Don't forget to give us candy." Xu Zonghan's face flushed. I don't answer this. But he said to Xipin: "When will you and Gongren have a happy event? Don't forget me. I'm going to make you lively."

Heard the words. Xipin lowered his head. Biting your lip and not talking again. And Tang Qingying sank her face. The brow is furrowed. Vinegar is a big deal. Xu Zonghan knew that he had said the wrong thing. Hurriedly covered up and said: "They are all old revolutionary comrades. I think there are some issues that should be on the table. Just escaping won't work. There must be a spiritual sustenance in people. You say no."

Xipin saw that Xu Zonghan was a guest. It's hard to say anything more. Quickly reversed the subject and said, "It's been so far. It's really hard. Let's find a place to rest." Xu Zonghan also wanted to change the topic. Find Happiness. He pulled Xipin's clothes and said, "Let me join your death squads too. It's a very imposing garment."

Tang Qingying pouted and said, "How can it. You young lady's body. How can you kill people with a gun?" Xu Zonghan pointed to Xipin and said, "She is so delicate. All participated in the death squads. I'm more able to participate in death squads with my body." Talking. Figuratively made a slashing action. It made several women laugh for a while.

Night. Huang Xing disregarded the fatigue of the journey. Immediately went to Hankou to inspect the position. The junta specially made two banners for Huang Xing. The flag is one foot and two feet long. The word "yellow" in the book bucket. Wang Dayan and Yummy Zhang of the Guangdong Death Squad each hold a big banner. The military government also sent Wu Zhaolin, Yang Xizhang, Cai Jimin, and Xu Daming to accompany him. Along the way, the situation on the front line.

Huang Xing every to a defensive area. Wang Dayan and Delicious Zhang swayed a large banner back and forth on the battlefield with all their might. The big red flag was under the strong wind, and the "Whoa. Boom ......" sound. The soldiers of the People's Army looked at the word "yellow" on the big red flag. I knew that the famous Huang Xing had arrived at the front line in Hankow. I can't help but tell each other. Cheered.

Huang Xing also met with Xiong Bingkun, Hu Xiaoqian, Gan Jixi, Yang Chuanjian, and Wu Zhenglin, the commanders of each defensive area. Constantly encouraging them. They also gave detailed descriptions of their respective defense zones. Huang Xing saw that several defensive areas were quite stable. I feel a little more at ease.

The Qing army continued to increase its troops. Arrive at the second and fourth towns of Hankou. It has reached 15,000 people. Other than that. The fifth and twentieth towns are on their way south.

Dawn on October 29th. The Qing army also used heavy artillery to bombard the civilian defense area. Earth-shattering rumbling artillery constantly exploded over the position. The entire Nationalist Army position was shrouded in a cloud of smoke. Some of the fortifications were blown down. Some of the civilian troops were blown into the sky. Black plumes of smoke rose into the air......

The shelling lasted for 1 hour. The Qing army of the two targets only began to attack. Come up first. They tried to move forward. There was no resistance from the Nationalist Army. Slowly. They grew bold. Screaming and screaming and rushing forward.

When they rushed to the front of the position of the people's army, it was more than 100 meters away. The People's Army suddenly blew the trumpet of the charge. Two big red flags with the word "yellow" written on them were erected. Countless civilians rushed out of the trenches with rifles loaded with bayonets. Especially the death squad dressed in black. Some of them have guns. Some wield knives. Killed in the Qing army. Just kill and chop indiscriminately. Never spare your own life. At this time, the Qing army's tube retreat artillery and machine guns were no longer available. They left behind a scattered corpse. They all retreated to their positions.

Huang Xing learned that the total number of civilian troops in the five defense areas was less than 6,000 people, and they were obviously at a disadvantage compared with the Qing army, so he decided to shorten the defense line and concentrate his troops in the areas of Zhangmei Sanxiang, Tufang, Liudu Bridge, and Manchun Tea Garden. And set up a temporary general headquarters in the Manchun Tea Garden. To boost morale. Huang Xing decided to fight back locally. Offense is defense. to combat the arrogance of the enemy. The People's Army heard that it was going to counterattack. All of them sharpen their knives and guns. Lift your spirits. Prepare for a big battle with the Qing army.

Early morning of October 30th. Huang Xing gave the order to attack. With the Guangdong death squad as the striker. Opened up a bloody road. The ministries followed. Tang Qingying rushed to the front. Her eyes were blood-red. Left hand with a gun. Right-handed dancing knife. rushed to the Qing soldiers. only to suddenly exert force. Qing Bing met her. It's like meeting Lord Yama. It's really not dead or hurt. They all fell. Tang Qingying's back. It is two "yellow" flags with one foot and two feet. Where the flag goes. Wherever the people's army goes, they will be killed. The Qing army was terrified when they saw the banner. Run for your life.

Huang Xing followed closely behind the death squad. Sometimes they fight bravely to kill the enemy. Sometimes urge to rush and kill. Shrapnel flew around him. Shouting and killing. But he was calm. Heroic march. Due to the suddenness of the attack. The Qing army hurriedly retreated. Several mountain cannons were abandoned. Hundreds of boxes of bullets. All were captured by the People's Army.

Huang Xing saw. The enemy's defense is getting more and more stubborn. The number of troops is increasing. The death squad though bravely rushed to kill. But for the battle situation on all fronts. Still doesn't do much. Now that it has reached the point of striking the enemy's arrogance. The role of boosting the morale of the people's army. Huang Xing ordered the People's Army to stop the attack. Withdraw to the original position.

October 31st. The Qing army continued to sweep and advance with artillery. Some of the militia climbed on the roofs and shot. Some hid in the house and shot at them. Every step forward of the Qing army had to pay a great price. In street fighting. The People's Army resisted desperately. Fight in one street and one alley. One bedroom and one house. Within two or three days. No food or sleep. The face was blackened by the smoke of gunpowder. so much so that the brothers and sons are not recognizable to each other.

In the ambulance team of the People's Army. There is a monk ambulance team that stands out. The little monks worked hard one by one. Shuttle through the battlefield. Bandage the wounds of the wounded. Carrying the wounded off on a stretcher. There was a presiding officer in a robe. Put your hands together. Quietly meditate beside the fallen soldiers. Pray for them silently. May they get out of the sea of misery soon. Ascension into the Western Heaven Elysium. This host is none other than that. It's Bi Yongnian. He led his monk ambulance team. Active in the forefront of artillery fire.

Gong Ren suddenly heard an old member of the Rizhi Club singing the military song of the Rizhi Society. The song was exceedingly majestic. Loud and clear. Lift the morale of the army. Gong Ren hurriedly asked some people who knew how to sing music to teach them around. At one time, the Hankou front line sang the military song of the Japanese Zhihui everywhere:

May compatriots. Unite up. Valorant. Singing military songs.

Passionate. Press the sword whistle.

How can it. Sit back and watch the country stumble.

Get ready to make a splash.

Where the military song sounds. Wherever the people's army fights bravely. Heroic killing. The lightly wounded touched their weapons. Fight back against the enemy. The seriously wounded also struggled to get up. Encouraging comrades. Shouting to charge at the enemy.

The Qing army saw the stubborn resistance of the people's army. It's hard to drive straight in. So it was decided to set fire to the market houses. so that the people's army cannot survive.

A raging fire has begun. The more you burn, the more you burn. Near the Manchun Tea Garden in the city center. It has been reduced to a scorched earth. The common people of Hankou rushed to help the old and the young. Rush to escape. Many people died in the blazing fire. Reduced to ashes in an instant. Many people want to protect the lives of their families. For their own property. Carry water to fight fires. Swept down by the Qing army with a Makqin heavy machine gun. There were some monks who stopped the atrocities of the Qing army. He was also shot dead by the Qing army. Consulates in Hankou saw the arson of the Qing army. The security of the consulate has been seriously jeopardized. They took to the streets to protest and condemn the Qing army. Also sent a telegram to the Qing government to protest seriously. Even some of the new army generals in the Qing army. I also feel that arson is inhumane. Jade burns. They have written to the Qing government to sue Feng Guozhang.

At the end of the battle for Hankow. Hanyang, which is only across the river from Hankow, suddenly changed. Hanyang was originally garrisoned by the First Association of the People's Army. On the eve of the fall of Hankow. Hu Ying instigated Song Xiquan to retreat to Hunan. Song Xiquan actually died on the evening of November 1. Falsely claiming to be on the orders of Huang Xing. Evacuate Hanyang with the soldiers of the Association and a large number of salaries. Flee to Hunan. Makes Hanyang almost an empty city. Hubei Military Government News. That is, the governor of Hunan was ordered to arrest Song Xiquan. Rectification on the spot.

Then. There was also chaos in the Hankow junta. Zhan Dabei, who presided over the work of the Hankou Military and Political Branch. There is a contradiction with Sun Wusu of the Hubei military government. Later, Zhan Dabei executed Zhang Jingliang in Hankou. Wuchang believes that Zhan Dabei is too authoritarian. Very dissatisfied. Zhan Dabei saw that Hankou was not safe. If you go back to Wuchang. He will be killed by Li Yuanhong and Sun Wu. So with Wen Chuheng, He Haiming, Li Wenfu, Ma Shaoqing and some people. On October 29th, we took the Japanese ship to the east. Strive to go to Anhui to obtain the support of the revolutionary Wu Chunyang. They're going to go. It also caused Hanyang to lose the leadership of the military government. Only the people's army is left struggling to support it.

November 2nd. The people's army is in the skyrocketing fire of the Qing army. Had to quit Hankow entirely. Evacuated to Hanyang, Wuchang.
