Chapter 014: Cut off the Jinghan Line (below) and ask for a monthly pass

Liujiamiao artillery position.

The sacks filled with sediment were thickly piled up in a half-circle, serving as a temporary artillery bunker for the twenty Seven-Life-Five Krupp field guns, behind which were piled up like hills of shells, and there were also artillery shells constantly transporting them to this side.

"Artillery Preparations—"

With the order given, all twenty artillery groups were busy, moving skillfully and agilely.

The veteran artillerymen of the Beiyang Army, who have many years of training and combat experience, have to say that their artillery skills are much higher than those of the Sichuan Army's rapid artillery.

In a short time, the twenty Seven-Life Five Krupp field guns completed the preparation for the shelling, and the muzzles of the twenty black holes lined up in a row were raised high, and they launched a fierce and deadly bombardment of the target at any time!

"Report - my lord, the main force of the Sichuan army has arrived at the outer defense line of Hankou and is making the final adjustments before the attack!"

One by one, the signal corps quickly reported the situation on the front line and various positions to Yang Enrong in the temporary general headquarters.

"Order, while the Sichuan Army is not firmly established, the artillery team will immediately launch a fierce artillery bombardment, and give the arrogant Sichuan Army a blow to the head!" Yan Enrong slammed his fist on the table and gave the order with a fierce expression.

After receiving the order from Zhen Enrong, the artillery officer immediately shouted and gave the order: "Target the Sichuan army forward, open the artillery-"

Wave the flag!

The main gunner pulled the gun rope violently, and the guns of the twenty seven-five-caliber Krupp field guns shook in unison, and the muzzles of the guns burst out in clouds of smoke.

Boom-boom-boom-

Twenty shells fell one after another into the vanguard of the Sichuan Army, killing and wounding the Sichuan soldiers in patches.

The news of the artillery bombardment of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army reached the general headquarters of the Sichuan Army as soon as possible, and all the officers of the Sichuan Army not only did not rush to fire, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jian smiled lightly: "I didn't expect that Luo Enrong would be so unstable and expose the artillery team so quickly." ”

"It's not that he can't hold his breath, but he feels that our Sichuan Army Artillery Regiment has been severely damaged by him and has temporarily lost its combat strength, so he wants to take the opportunity to give us a dismount!" Wang Mo smiled coldly, and then ordered, "Order." The artillery regiment of the 2nd Division immediately carried out a covering artillery bombardment of the area where the artillery team of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army was located, and it was necessary to eliminate the artillery team of the Beiyang Army in one fell swoop! ”

Maybe in terms of the quality of artillery, the Sichuan Army can't be compared with the Beiyang Army now, but the accuracy is not enough, so it will make up for it with quantity. Shelling with cover is undoubtedly the most effective method.

In the words that Wang Mo taught the artillery officers, Lao Tzu did not need to fight accurately, he only needed to use a huge artillery group to plow the target area back and forth several times, and the target could naturally be blown to ashes.

Wang Mo's order was quickly passed from the herald to the artillery regiment of the Second Division.

Xiao Jing, commander of the artillery regiment of the Second Division, stood in front of the huge artillery group in military uniform, looking at the hundreds of 75mm Grusen mountain guns in neat rows. The heart is full of pride.

The artillery regiment of the 1st Division has temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and now it is the turn of the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division to show its talents!

Soon, the artillery groups completed their final preparations for shelling.

Xiao Jing took a step forward, pulled out his command knife, pointed in the direction of the Beiyang Army artillery, and shouted loudly: "Target Beiyang Army Artillery, area coverage shelling, three rapid shots, open the artillery-"

"Fire—"

One hundred 75mm Grusen mountain guns burst into a roar that pierced the sky.

A hundred shells slammed into the area where the artillery of the Beiyang Army was located. Clouds of black-red gunpowder smoke exploded, and countless bricks and tiles flew up in the explosion.

Before the Beiyang Army could react, the second round of intensive covering artillery bombardment followed one after another, completely giving the Beiyang Army artillery a chance to evade and breathe.

Although the area had almost been razed to the ground, the third round of shelling still arrived as scheduled, plowed the artillery positions of the Beiyang Army again, and it was a terrifying posture that wanted to turn over the entire ground.

It is true that this method is very rich and extravagant, but it has to be said that it is very effective.

Under such a terrifying dense covering shelling, not to mention the artillery of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army. It is that all the physical life in that area has no chance of survival.

The artillery team was wiped out in an instant, which not only frightened the officers and soldiers of Beiyang, but also dealt a blow to the Sichuan Army, who wanted to give the Sichuan Army a dismount.

Judging from the sound of the Sichuan Legion's artillery salvo, this is at least nearly 100 seven-five-caliber guns.

"Impossible...... This can't be ......" Yan Enrong didn't believe in such a thing. He had obviously eliminated an artillery regiment with 100 artillery pieces in the Sichuan Army, how could an artillery regiment with 100 artillery pieces immediately pop up?

"Report - my lord, the Sichuan Army has launched an attack on all fronts!"

The signal soldier's urgent report pulls Rong back from the gloomy world of despair.

Luo Enrong reluctantly raised his spirits and issued a new order: "Order, the Second Division of the Hubei Army immediately went up and told Cai Hanqing." If there is a person who escapes from the battle, it will be dealt with by military law! ”

In Luo Enrong's plan, the Second Division of the Hubei Army was originally used as cannon fodder. Now he does not have the luxury of holding Hankou, but he can delay the Sichuan army for some more time, which will still be of great help to the overall situation of the country.

With the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army supervising the battle behind the scenes, no matter how unwilling the soldiers of the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army were, they had to go to the first line of defensive positions.

After discovering that the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army had sent a supervising team to suppress the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army, Wang Mo immediately sensed that this was an opportunity to disintegrate the other party, so he slowed down the offensive and arranged for the soldiers of the Sichuan Army on the front line to shout to the soldiers of the Hubei Army.

"Brothers of the Hubei Army, our young marshal said, as long as you put down your guns, no longer give your life to the domineering Beiyang Army and the dictatorial Yuan Shikai, and promise not to find a posterior, those who are willing to go home to farm go home to farm, and those who are willing to continue to be soldiers are also welcome!"

"Brothers of the Hubei Army, don't fight, the Beiyang Army is obviously using you as cannon fodder, and it's not worth selling your life to them!"

"Brothers of the Hubei Army, hurry home, the wives and children at home are waiting for you!"

……

The shouting over and over again made all the departments of the Hubei Army commotion, and Cai Hanqing was so angry that he scolded: "Demagoguery, these are all despicable and shameless demagoguery words of the Sichuan army!" Shoot, shoot and kill the Sichuan soldiers who are shouting! ”

The soldiers of the Second Division of the Hubei Army, who did not have much will to fight, were even more shaken when they were encouraged by the shouts of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army at this time.

Some soldiers of the Hubei Army took advantage of the commander's inattention, and ran out of the position with a few companions, wanting to get out of the battlefield.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

A team of Beiyang Army Inspectors stepped forward and killed these Hubei Army soldiers who wanted to slip away, and at the same time shouted menacingly: "Those who escaped from the battle." Rectify the Dharma on the spot! ”

The threat of the Beiyang Army Inspector was fatal, which made the Hubei Army soldiers who were about to move have to hold it down temporarily.

After knowing this situation, Wang Mo quickly issued a new order: "Let the mortar teams of all departments come forward and specialize in fighting the Beiyang Army Supervision Team." Sharpshooters kill any Hubei Army officer who tries to crush the team! ”

After Wang Mo's order was conveyed to the front-line troops of the Sichuan Army, one mortar group after another was soon transferred to the front line, specifically targeting the Beiyang Army Inspector and carrying out fierce artillery bombardment again and again.

Without the threat of the Beiyang Army's Inspector Clan, the soldiers of the Hubei Army, who had long been unable to hold back, suddenly threw away the rifles in their hands and ran out of the position in a swarm. Escape the battlefield.

"Come back, give the fuck to Lao Tzu back, and if you run again, Lao Tzu will shoot!" Some officers of the Hubei Army immediately drew their pistols and threatened to suppress the soldiers who wanted to flee from the battle.

However, the Hubei Army officer's voice just fell. With a bang, a bullet entered the officer's forehead, and the officer fell to the ground and died.

"Brethren, run!"

Without the bullet pressure of the officers and the war supervision team, the soldiers of the Hubei Army, who had no intention of fighting, left the battlefield in groups, and thousands of people were dispersed in an instant.

Cai Hanqing, who was about to become the commander of the light pole, looked miserable and desperate, and he didn't even have the mind to desperately bite the Sichuan Army before he was dying. Leaving the troops on the battlefield, one does not know where to go.

The collapse of the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army caused the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army to shrink the entire Hankou defense line, and the whole brigade retreated to the Liujiamiao position.

The Sichuan Army gradually advanced, and more than 16,000 people surrounded the Liujiamiao Railway Station.

In the face of an absolute superiority in firepower and five times as many as the enemy's encirclement, the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, no matter how elite and strong it is, has absolutely no possibility of breaking through.

"Persuade to surrender, give Luo Enrong a chance!" Wang Mo ordered to persuade him to surrender, and he still admired a capable officer like Yang Enrong very much. As long as the other party is willing to break away from Beiyang, he doesn't mind having another officer with such practical combat experience.

Wang Mo soon sent a representative into the position of Liujiamiao to persuade Luo Enrong to surrender.

Faced with the persuasion of the Sichuan army to surrender representatives. Luo Enrong refused without thinking about it, and said coldly: "Go back and tell you young marshal, don't look like a victor is proud!" Our 2nd Mixed Brigade will settle this account, and sooner or later the President will settle accounts with him! ”

Luo Enrong's refusal to surrender was expected, Wang Mo was only a little disappointed and put it down, and ordered: "The order is to fire." Completely crush the last resistance of the Beiyang Army! ”

Boom-boom-boom-

The heavy shelling unfolded again, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, which was shrinking in the narrow area of the Liujiamiao Railway Station.

Patches of Beiyang Army soldiers died one after another in the shelling, and the teams trying to break through desperately were also blocked by the dense fire of the Sichuan Army.

"Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu!" Yan Enrong personally led the death squad to launch a decisive charge.

Dada-

A bullet chain swept over, instantly beating the leader of the charge into a sieve.

Luo Enrong maintained the posture of charging with a gun, and fell straight in a pool of blood, and this fierce general of the Beiyang Army was buried here.

Not long after the death of Yang Enrong, the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, which suffered heavy casualties, gave up resistance and went out of the position to surrender to the Sichuan Army.

After the annihilation of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, the Sichuan Army officially captured the Liujiamiao Railway Station, which also meant that the Jinghan Line was cut off.

After the news of the Sichuan army capturing Liujiamiao Railway Station and cutting off the Jinghan Line spread.

Hubei is shaking!

Beijing is shaking!

The world is shaking! (To be continued.) )
