c_t; The pipe band was taken aback, the German fleet? This can't be provoked, it's noisy foreigners, even a hundred of themselves are not enough to be cut by others!

The pipe band shouted: "Raise the flag, tell them that this is a military restricted area, and ask them to detour, otherwise, once they are injured by artillery fire, we must blame our Qing army!" ”

The Qing army on duty hurriedly waved the flag and asked the fleet to leave!

This fleet was invited out by Xu Huaijin to cover up the German merchant ships used to attack the river defense!

The flag of the Qing army, they naturally did not take it to heart, this time the caravan trip, the ship carried a whole brigade of troops, headed by the commander of the 49th Brigade Zheng Kewei, the former in Shandong set off a bloody storm of the fierce brigade commander.

In this expedition, in order to be able to achieve all the successes, Cai Ye mobilized an entire brigade of troops from the 49th Brigade, not only that, but also a brigade of troops, ready to support the 49th Brigade at any time and break through the Qing army's defense line!

Seeing the banner of the Qing army, Zheng Kewei sneered: "Order, don't pay attention to the greeting of the Qing army, the C number should advance first, the B number and the Geng number will follow, and they will charge towards the Qing army, once they land on the shore, they will immediately attack the Qing army, and all the mortars will be ready for Lao Tzu!" ”

In this way, more than a dozen merchant ships rushed towards the position of the Qing army in the south.

At this time, the Qing army was a little dumbfounded, and the German caravan ignored his warning and rushed straight to the shore, what should I do? Fight or not, don't fight, what if there is a Chinese Revolutionary Army on board?

Beat? This cannon goes down, but the blessing and misfortune are unpredictable, not to mention what kind of reward it is, under the pressure of Germany, the imperial court does not cut off its own head, it is definitely the smoke on the grave of his ancestors!

While the Qing army was hesitating, one merchant ship after another had already sailed over, and the nearest merchant ship was already less than 200 meters away from the shore

The Qing army gritted his teeth, if the position was missed, he would not be able to cut off ten heads, so he shouted: "Someone, give me an order, fire artillery on the river, remember not to hit merchant ships, deter merchant ships from docking;!" ”

However, at this time, the cannon was fired at the river, but it was too late!

The artillery on the Qing army's position had just finished adjusting the design Zhuyuan, and the number C had already docked on the south bank, and the anxious Qing soldiers had already been in no hurry, and before they even waited for the merchant ships to stop, they threw down their sampans, holding submachine guns in their hands and grenades in their waists, and began to rush towards the position of the Qing army!

At this time, the Qing army management belt was like waking up from a dream, and shouted: "Someone, hurry up and attack me, fight!" It's the revolutionary army, it's the revolutionary army that has landed! ”

The artillery of the Qing army began to act frantically at this time, but the current fleet is less than two hundred meters away from the shore, such a close distance, I am afraid that it will be able to reach the shore in just a few minutes, and the fleet is no longer within the range of the Qing artillery, more than ten shells flew out with a roar, but all fell into the back of the fleet, and they could not hit the German fleet at all!

However, at this time, the mortars above the fleet were threatening, and the range of heavy artillery and infantry guns was too long, but the mortars were ballistic, even if they were one or two hundred meters away, they could launch an attack!

Dozens of mortars began to exert their might on the merchant ships, and dozens of shells flew to the positions of the Qing army together, blooming everywhere on the positions of the Qing army, and the Qing troops who were caught off guard were beaten and embarrassed!

Groups of revolutionary troops began to rush to the riverbank, quickly seizing strategic positions and preparing for defense.

At this time, the Qing army was also anxious, and shouted: "Quick, immediately warn the main force!" There is a revolutionary army raiding Longjiagang! Let the main force rush to support! The whole battalion pressed me up, no matter what, I can't let the revolutionary army gain a foothold here! ”

Hundreds of Qing troops began to surround the position where the revolutionary army landed on the shore, trying to drive the revolutionary army into the Huai River!

However, at this time, it was indeed too late, and now the revolutionary army that has completed the landing has reached thousands of people, and even carried more than a dozen mortars, and on the high ground on both sides, they set up a posture and saw hundreds of Qing troops rushing over.

More than a dozen mortars began to launch artillery bombardment on the Qing army, and the heavy machine guns on both sides also began to spit tongues of fire, suppressing the Qing army hundreds of meters away in an instant, and it was difficult to get close half a step at all

Dozens of Qing soldiers at the front fell to the ground under the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns.

Lu Changfa, the commander of the revolutionary army battalion who took the lead in opening the way, shouted: "Submachine gun team, give me the first to open the way, heavy machine gun cover, brothers rush me, push the front forward for me, and we must leave room for our follow-up main force to land!" ”

Hundreds of revolutionary troops began to press on the Qing army.

If across the Huai River, it is difficult for the revolutionary army to be like the Qing army, but now it is different, without the obstruction of the Huai River, the revolutionary army that went ashore is now like a rainbow, and it is not at all that hundreds of Qing troops can stop, just one charge, the Qing army in front was beaten by the revolutionary army, hundreds of Qing troops could not hold down the position at all, and even the Qing army pipe belt responsible for defense was killed by the revolutionary army's random guns.

The revolutionary army advanced the position six or seven hundred meters in one breath, the Qing army **** had to scatter and flee, not even daring to turn back, the firepower was too fierce, mortars, heavy machine guns, grenades, and submachine guns, all kinds of weapons beat the Qing army to the heart, in close combat, the Qing army without heavy artillery support, is simply a pile of scum!

In just half an hour, all the merchant ships had already docked to the shore, and the troops of a brigade began to land on the shore one after another, and began to urgently deploy local defense, in an attempt to meet the landing of the follow-up troops.

Zheng Kewei, who went ashore, shouted: "The 56th Regiment, give me to immediately advance the battle line to the west and attack the Qing army on the west side, and the 57th Regiment will give me to defend the east and south sides, hurry up the time, I must disrupt the Qing army for me!" ”

Zheng Kewei's idea is good, but the Qing army's reaction is not slow!

When Feng Guozhang of Huai'an was dealing with military affairs, he suddenly got a report that the Chinese Revolutionary Army had launched a surprise attack on the Longjiagang defense area under the cover of the German fleet, and one of the instructions in Longjiagang was completely defeated!

Feng Guozhang was almost scared to death, I wiped, left and right, or out of the big basket!

Feng Guozhang yelled: "Quick, mobilize the 11th Association for me, press it immediately, no matter what, you can't gain a firm foothold in the revolutionary army, hurry!" Mobilize the heavy artillery, aim for me, and blow them up for me! ”

Thousands of Qing troops began to move and rushed towards Longjiagang!
