The one hundred and ninety-third episode, Wu Xinghan outwitted Gao Xiangzhen
79 On Chuwangtai, in addition to the 8th Engineering Battalion, the 21st Association Engineering Team, the Baggage Team, the 29th and 30th Banners of the Right Banner, the 8th Bid of Nanhu Artillery, the 32nd Bid of Nanhu, and the 8th Bid of the Nanhu Horse Team participated in the uprising, the Army Surveying and Mapping School, the 31st Bid of the Left Banner, the 3rd Army Middle School and other military schools also responded to the uprising and gathered at the Chuwangtai base camp, and the number of soldiers and students participating in the uprising has reached 3,000, so that the situation has rapidly changed to the aspect conducive to the revolution.
The General Command of the Revolution has recruited Cai Jimin as the deputy commander-in-chief, so that the leaders of the General Headquarters have become three.
Someone found a military map, three people on the map carefully studied the situation of both sides, Wu Zhaolin pointed to the map and said: "Wuchang City is not big, east and west 5 li, north and south 6 li, southwest is the location of the Qing Governor's Office, the terrain on the right behind the Governor's Office is narrow, the houses are dense, it is not a place to use, the long street at the entrance of the governor's house' gate, the south leans on the Wangshan 'gate', the north is the water and land street, and then the north is Dadu Si Lane, the east entrance of the lane is not far from the Wangfukou, and the Wangshan 'gate' is about 2 and a half miles to the Wangfukou, which is the only way to attack the governor's office. In order to consolidate the defense line of the Governor's Office, the Qing army arranged an important defense line from Wangfukou to Wangshan 'Gate' in the north and south, and then set up an important defense line from Wangshan 'Gate' to Baoan 'Gate' on the main street, and also set up an important defense line from east to west, and the total strength of the enemy added up to no less than 5,000 people."
Xiong Bingkun said to Wu Zhaolin: "You just say how to fight this battle," Wu Zhaolin said: "Our artillery has been arranged on the city wall, on the high ground of Chuwangtai, and also on the Snake Mountain position, artillery is the soul of the army, we must make full use of the power of artillery, strike hard at the enemy, open up a way for the infantry to advance, the attacking troops pay attention to arson, to the artillery to indicate the target, the offensive we can be divided into three roads, the first route led by Kuang Jie, from the Ziyang Bridge to the main street of Wangfukou search and advance, the 29th standard all the way into the road, The third route is led by Ma Mingxi and Wu Xinghan of the 30th mark, and the search and advance from the Jinshui Gate to the main street of the security 'gate', the 29th bid Zhang Peng can be merged into the road, and the second road is the response force of the first and third roads, led by Ma Rong, to search and advance to the water and land streets."
Xiong Bingkun said loudly: "Okay, do it like this, I'll go to the third road, because this is the main attacking force to attack the superintendent," Wu Zhaolin said: "It's better for you to sit here, I'll go to the front line," Xiong Bingkun said: "You have a bigger role than me here, and I can rush and kill those in front," Cai Jimin said: "Then I have to go to the front line, and the brothers of the 29th standard of the first road listen to me," Wu Zhaolin said: "In that case, the two of you will work hard, if there is anything, let's use the 8th standard of the Nanhu Horse Team to contact,"
Seeing that Xiong Bingkun was going to the front line, Gong Ren hurriedly gave Tang Qingying a look, and said to Xiong Bingkun: "Tang Qingying and I are not here to watch the excitement, but to fight, wherever you go, we will follow you wherever you go," Xiong Bingkun said: "If you stay in the general headquarters, I am afraid that you can play a more role," Tang Qingying 'interjected' and said: "It still plays a role, I am annoyed when I see Wu Zhaolin, a complete opportunist, it is really a good horse to grow to the 'legs', and a good person to the mouth,"
Gong Ren hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, lowered his voice and said: "At this time, you must not make contradictions, the overall situation is important, the overall situation is important," Xiong Bingkun pretended not to hear their words, and said: "Since you two are willing to go to the front line, military cadres are needed there, let's go together,"
Xiong Bingkun, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying hurriedly led the team of the engineering battalion to run towards the Jinshui Gate, at this time there were constantly gunshots in all corners of the city, and from time to time there were stray bullets passing through the soldiers, and when they arrived at the Jinshui Gate, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning on the 11th, and there were about 150 people from the 30 targets of Ma Mingxi and Wu Xinghan at the Jinshui Gate, plus this team, there were more than 600 people in total,
Xiong Bingkun asked about the situation, discussed with a few people, and then led by the 29th standard Zhang Peng, organized the first attack, because the road is narrow, only five or six meters wide, the soldiers have nowhere to hide, can only be one by one, search forward, to the depths of the alley, suddenly from the roofs on both sides of the road and the guns on the wall of the gun 'shot' out of countless rifles and machine gun bullets, the attacking soldiers knocked down a large area, the rear of the look is not good, dare not continue to attack, had to retreat back, At this time, countless bullets were 'fired' on the city wall, and the revolutionary army could hardly raise its head.
Tang Qingying's face changed, her sleeves were pulled, and she was about to lead the team to charge again, Xiong Bingkun grabbed her and said: "Don't panic first, the enemy's firepower is too strong, and it is in the dark, and there are more troops than us, we are all gone, and we can't get in," Gong Ren said: "Yes, there are black lights everywhere here, and the artillery can't see the target clearly, if the artillery team continuously fires at the enemy, it will definitely be able to defeat the enemy," Xiong Bingkun said: "Snake Mountain is the commanding height of Wuchang, as long as we put the cannon on Snake Mountain, Just now a platoon of the 29th target covered the artillery on Snake Mountain, I don't know if it went up at this time, if it goes up, we will notify the Snake Mountain position to launch artillery, first hit him in a hurry, and then attack,"
Several people were discussing, and suddenly there was a 'fierce' gunfire from the direction of the 41st standard, Xiong Bingkun was taken aback, and said: "It's not good, it must be that the artillery team going to Snake Mountain was attacked by the 41st standard, and the situation is not good," Sure enough, after a while, a cavalryman came to report that the artillery team going to Snake Mountain was attacked by the enemy's 41st target and was stopped on the road, asking for support,
Gong Ren said loudly: "Let me bring some people to support, otherwise, the loss of artillery will inevitably affect the overall situation," Tang Qingying objected: "The affairs there are handled by Chu Wangtai, and we don't have enough troops attacking here, where can we 'draw' people to support them," Gong Ren said: "Chu Wangtai's troops are already very weak, where can we 'draw' people, if we don't save them, the artillery team will be in danger,"
Xiong Bingkun thought about it for a while, and said: "Without the support of artillery, it is difficult for us to attack, and now the artillery to Snake Mountain is in trouble again, I think so, Gong Ren and Wu Xinghan quickly led two platoons to support the artillery team, only by defeating the 41st standard, the cannon can be pulled up Snake Mountain, once the cannon of Snake Mountain is supported, we will take the initiative here,"
After receiving the order, Gong Ren, Tang Qingying, and Wu Xinghan immediately took two platoons and rushed over there, when they ran to the vicinity of the right banner, they suddenly encountered a battalion of flag soldiers blocking the way, Tang Qingying brandished a pistol and was about to lead the team to charge over there, Gong Ren stopped her, and saw Wu Xinghan looking carefully at the team.
Wu Xinghan observed for a while, and was sure that the team was the soldiers of his own camp, and the leader of the troops was Gao Xiangzhen, Wu Xinghan tucked the pistol into the holster, waved his hand to the back, and then led the team over unhurriedly,
Gao Xiangzhen saw that it was Wu Xinghan, he was furious, and reprimanded viciously: "Who asked you to take the team out of the barracks, the above knows that you are going to kill the head, can you afford this responsibility," those soldiers also looked at each other angrily, and blamed Wu Xinghan one after another, this one said: "You don't want to be a 'chaotic' party, and you have affected the brothers in the camp," the one said: "The rebel can be killed, the commander is good to us, and we must be worthy of the country,"
When the revolutionary soldiers here heard these words, they were very indignant, and some of them were so angry that they scolded: "You are full of people, can you be the same as us Han people, we Han people have been bullied by you for more than 200 years, and today we are going to vent our anger," and some scolded: "We are going to rebel, bring down your government, and establish our government," while speaking, some pulled the bolt of their guns and wanted to shoot at the flag soldiers who had guns and bullets.
Wu Xinghan hurriedly waved his hand at his subordinates to stop the reckless behavior of some soldiers, Wu Xinghan pulled out a pistol from his pistol holster, lit Gao Xiangzhen with a pistol and said: "I warn you, today we are going to revolution, you have to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless and unsympathetic,"
Because Wu Xinghan's gun kept nodding Gao Xiangzhen's head, Gao Xiangzhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, he always looked at the pistol, for fear that the pistol would go off, those flag soldiers were not convinced, and kept scolding 'randomly', but there was no bullet in the gun, and the confidence was still insufficient, and he was afraid that the revolutionary army would shoot 'indiscriminately' and become a ghost under the gun in vain.
Tang Qingying was amused when she saw it, and Gong Ren also admired Wu Xinghan's courage and knowledge.
When Wu Xinghan finished venting, Gao Xiangzhen said: "As long as you go back to the camp and return to the team, we have nothing to do, and I will never report to the commander," Wu Xinghan frowned, thought about it, and said, "Then I will discuss it with the brothers,"
Wu Xinghan came back and hurriedly pulled Gong Ren and Tang Qingying aside to discuss strategies, and these forty or fifty revolutionary soldiers confronted the battalion of flag soldiers with guns.
At this time, the roar of cannons sounded on the Chu Wangtai again, and one after another the shells fell in the 41 standard barracks, only hitting the 41 standard bricks and stones "chaotic" flying, people shouted and horses shouted, "chaotic" into a ball, Tang Qingying reminded Wu Xinghan and said: "Our task is to quickly protect the artillery team stationed in the Snake Mountain position, and to deal with the flag soldiers in front of us, the only way to quickly eliminate or disperse," Gong Ren pulled Tang Qingying and said, "You first listen to Comrade Wu's opinion,"
Wu Xinghan said: "The flag soldiers in front of him are also a big trouble, these 30 standards in addition to Gao Xiangzhen's 1 battalion, there are also Xie Yuankai's 1 battalion, the Han soldiers are also 'mixed' together, this Gao Xiangzhen and Xie Yuankai are classmates, the relationship is extraordinary, if they see our flaws, the two units will join forces, and then find bullets from elsewhere, attack our artillery in Snake Mountain, our artillery is more than lucky, the platoon of the 29 standard, can not deal with it at all,"
Gong Ren asked: "What about your opinion," Wu Xinghan said: "The plan will be calculated, follow Gao Xiangzhen back to the camp, except for Gao Xiangzhen and Xie Yuankai, and only then can you survive the death," Gong Ren said: "Your plan is very good, do it like this,"
Tang Qingying asked worriedly: "What about the 41 bids," Wu Xinghan said decisively: "The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, the 41 bids will be topped by the 29 bids for a while, we will solve the 30 bids, and then go to the 41 bids," Tang Qingying saw that Wu Xinghan said so resolutely and decisively, nodded, and no longer objected,
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying returned to the team and quietly arranged for the revolutionary soldiers.
Wu Xinghan said to Gao Xiangzhen in the past: "Go back to the camp, go back to the camp, sooner or later you can't get off and return to the camp, the soldiers agreed," Gao Xiangzhen was overjoyed when he heard the news, and said to Wu Xinghan happily: "That's right, the subordinates obey the superiors, and the soldiers obey the commanders, this is a matter of course, this matter will end here, I will never mention half a word to the commander,"
The two teams merged into one, and gradually walked towards the 30 standard barracks, the road was not far, and it was not long before they arrived, and when they arrived at the barracks, the "exercise" field was full of people, the Han soldiers and the flag soldiers were "mixed" together, the revolutionary soldiers and the soldiers who opposed the revolution were "mixed" together, Wu Xinghan and Gao Xiangzhen entered, and the soldiers cast all kinds of eyes of happiness, doubt, "agitation", and frustration.
Wu Xinghan gave Gong Ren and Tang Qingying a look, then stood on a high platform and shouted loudly to the soldiers below: "Han soldiers, our revolutionary party has revolted today, Gao Xiangzhen is bringing banner soldiers, they are the lackeys of the Qing government, for your safety, please drive them away,"
The revolutionary soldiers and some Han soldiers all shouted: "Fight," "Fight," "Beat the dog," "Beat the dog," some of the flag soldiers lowered their heads and began to quietly retreat, Gao Xiangzhen looked at it, and even called for it, and quietly hid behind, Tang Qingying pulled out a pistol and fired several shots at the top of Gao Xiangzhen's head in a series of shots to show deterrence, so frightened that Gao Xiangzhen threw his 'legs' and ran,
The revolutionary soldiers also fired a few rows of guns, and the flag soldiers immediately rushed to the wolves, and they broke up in an instant.
Wu Xinghan spoke again to the remaining soldiers, and he shouted loudly: "Revolutionary soldiers, we have revolted, our goal is to overthrow the Manchu Qing and establish our own government, and now our goal is to attack the reactionary army of the 41st target, advance,,"
Wu Xinghan led the team of more than 200 people to re-enter the camp, drove away the 41 flag soldiers, and he asked some people to stay, helped the artillery team place the cannon on Snake Mountain, and then led most of the soldiers back to the front line.
After Xiong Bingkun listened to Gong Ren's description of this battle, he happily patted Wu Xinghan on the shoulder and said: "You are really Zhao Zilong in our army, not only drove away the 41st standard, established the Snake Mountain position, but also brought back so many people, okay, this battle is well fought," Wu Xinghan hurriedly pushed the credit to others: "Where are you talking about this, aren't they all soldiers brave and resolute in their revolutionary will?"
