In Wang Mo's plan, the artillery regiment of the First Division was a piece of fat that served as bait, a delicacy that hung on the mouth of the First Division of the Hubei Army, which seemed to be swallowed with its mouth open, but in fact it could never be reached...... しw0。

Wang Mo never expected that the fat of the First Division Artillery Regiment not only fished the First Division of the Hubei Army, but also made the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army target.

Bang -

Gunshots rang out!

An artillery regiment soldier in charge of the guard was knocked down by a single shot, and he didn't even have time to shout out a scream.

Bang bang bang - bang bang -

More and more soldiers of the Beiyang Army poured out and began to shoot at the alert units of the artillery regiment.

"Enemy attack—"

The officers of the artillery regiment's alert unit finally reacted, shouted loudly, immediately lay on the ground, rolled to the right, hid behind a rock, and then fired at the sudden enemy while shouting and directing his men to counterattack.

Although the company commander of the artillery regiment alert unit reacted quickly, those soldiers were accustomed to following the artillery regiment to stay behind the battlefield, and where they encountered such a sudden and ferocious attack, they panicked on the spot and were slaughtered by the Beiyang Army's platoon guns in a headless and brainless run.

The alert units of the artillery regiment suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, but this also bought the artillery regiment of the 1st Division a little time to react, albeit at a heavy cost.

"Impossible, the first division of the Hubei Army has been surrounded by the main force of our Sichuan Army led by the young marshal, how can there be enemy troops coming to raid our artillery regiment?" Li Xudong looked at the soldiers of the alert force who came to report with a look of disbelief. If it weren't for the constant sound of fierce gunfire outside, he would definitely have dealt with the soldier in front of him on the charge of lying about the military situation.

"It's the Beiyang Army. Those who came to sneak attack were all Beiyang Army! Head. The brothers of the three companies in charge of the perimeter guard tonight have already suffered heavy casualties, and they can't stand it anymore! The soldier said anxiously.

Is it the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army on the Hankou side?

Li Xudong was shocked, if it was the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, it would be a big trouble.

The main force of the Sichuan Army is encircling and annihilating the 1st Division of the Hubei Army, and the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division is entangled with the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army, which means that they will not get any reinforcements in a short time.

Fall back?

The artillery regiment can be withdrawn. But these 100 valuable 75mm Grusen mountain guns are so heavy. Trying to evacuate in a hurry is definitely a fool's dream.

Not withdrawing?

Even if Li Xudong was arrogant, he didn't think that the artillery regiment alone could withstand the ferocious attack of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army.

At such a critical moment, what is tested is the officer's impromptu decision.

All kinds of ideas and emergency response strategies were passed through Li Xudong's mind almost in a short moment.

The situation is urgent. No matter what the decision is, there can be no further delay.

In less than a minute, Li Xudong made a decision, and gave a loud order to Meng Qiuyuan, the commander of the first battalion who hurriedly assembled troops to stand by: "Battalion commander Meng, you immediately take all the people in the first battalion to reinforce the alert troops on the periphery, and block the Beiyang Army for me for at least half an hour!" ”

"Yes!"

Meng Qiuyuan immediately responded, and then quickly rushed to the area where the exchange of fire took place with a battalion to participate in the battle.

Subsequently, Li Xudong thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone else immediately digs a pit next to each artillery." Bury all remaining shells and attach a detonating fuse to all shells at the same time! ”

This...... This is going to destroy all the artillery!

The other two battalion commanders all changed their faces and exclaimed, "Regiment commander—"

A hundred 75mm Grusen mountain guns, this is at least millions of taels of silver according to the market price, and the black market price is even higher, and it is also a heavy weapon that money can't buy.

It's all blown up, and this responsibility ......

Li Xudong's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't go quickly, what responsibility does Lao Tzu have to bear at that time!" ”

Li Xudong was determined to do this, and no one else could stop it, so all the remaining soldiers of the artillery regiment buried the shells with complicated expressions and connected the explosive fuses.

For the artillerymen of these artillery regiments, they poured a lot of affection into these artillery, and this artillery was their pride and had become a part of their lives. Now they have to plant bombs to blow up all these guns, which cannot but make them feel uncomfortable. But the military order is like a mountain, and they have to do it even if they are uncomfortable.

At the same time as urgently planting the bomb, Li Xudong sent a communications army to rush to Wang Mo to report the emergency situation of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army.

Li Xudong's side is in a critical situation, and Lu Dayong's side is also uncomfortable.

After Wang Mo and the First Division of the Hubei Army fought there, the sound of guns and artillery shook the sky, and Cai Hanqing immediately guessed the truth that the main force of the Sichuan Army reflexively attacked the First Division of Hubei.

Cai Hanqing knew very well that once the main force of the Sichuan Army surrounded and annihilated the first division, then his second division would definitely be in danger. Now, the only chance is that the second division takes the initiative to attack and cooperate with the first division to give the Sichuan army a counter-encirclement!

Because of this, Cai Hanqing did not care about the casualties at all, and led the Second Division to launch an increasingly ferocious charge again and again towards the First Regiment of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army that was blocking and delaying them.

"Machine guns, machine guns, shoot hard at Lao Tzu, quick-" Lu Dayong roared, facing the surging groups of Hubei Army soldiers who didn't want to die, and if he wanted to block it, it was impossible to do it without the continuous strafing of machine guns.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the first regiment of the Second Division, Wang Mo specially transferred all the Makqin heavy machine guns of the Second Division to Lu Dayong, as well as twenty Madsen light machine guns to assist in strengthening the firepower.

Dada-

Tongues of fire from dozens of light and heavy machine guns frantically shook in all directions, which was extremely conspicuous and conspicuous in the dark night.

"Kettle!"

In the face of the soldiers of the Hubei Army who rushed over like locusts, the machine gunner of a Madsen light machine gun was in a hurry, and copied the kettle next to the deputy machine gunner, unscrewed the kettle and poured cold water on the barrel of the Madsen light machine gun. The hot barrel was suddenly stirred up by cold water, which accelerated the cooling of the barrel. But the damage to the barrel was too great. But as long as he saw the Hubei Army soldiers getting closer and closer, he couldn't care so much.

After pouring cold water through the barrel of the Madsen light machine gun, the machine gunner immediately replaced it with a new 30-round magazine, pulled the bolt with a "click", then adjusted his shooting stance and pulled the trigger sharply.

Dada-

Heavy machine-gun fire rang out again. The soldiers of the Hubei Army, who were already in front of him, were swept in the chest by a shuttle of bullets. His entire chest was beaten to a bloody pulp, and he fell to the ground weakly.

Dada-

Madsen's light machine guns continued to fire wildly, and the Hubei soldiers fell in droves like wheat harvesting.

Despite the heavy casualties, Cai Hanqing still forced all units of the Second Division of the Hubei Army to launch a ferocious charge one after another. Trying to break through the blockade and delay of the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army as soon as possible.

This is a contest of wills, whoever is the first to hold on to the collapse will lose the victory weight that determines the outcome of the battle!

Compared with the difficulties and dangers on Lu Dayong and Li Xudong's side, Wang Mo's side was very smooth, and the main force of the Sichuan Army had completely surrounded the first division of the Hubei Army and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

Boom-boom-boom-

The shelling continued, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the 1st Division of the Hubei Army, and at the same time destroying any counterattack and breakthrough that the 1st Division of the Hubei Army tried to organize.

"Good, good fight!" Wang Mo looked at the situation on the battlefield with satisfaction. He said to the herald next to him, "Tell the regiments, don't get carried away, and be careful of the dying struggle and desperate breakthrough of the 1st Division of the Hubei Army!" If anyone is careless and causes this boiled duck of the First Division of the Hubei Army to fly, Lao Tzu wants him to look good! ”

At this time, a communications soldier ran over anxiously and reported to Wang Mo: "Young Marshal, the artillery regiment of the 1st Division was raided by the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, and the situation is critical, Commander Li asks the young marshal to send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”

"What!" Wang Mo was shocked.

The 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army actually raided the artillery regiment of the 1st Division, doesn't this mean that the artillery regiment of the 1st Division will really become fat meat swallowed by the Beiyang Army?

It's careless, it's too careless!

I thought that the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army would not dare to leave lightly in many strategic points in Hankou, but before arriving at the first place, Enrong would have the courage to lead the troops to attack, and at the most critical time, he inserted a knife in the weakest point of the Sichuan Army.

Beiyang is really worthy of being the strongest army in the world in this era!

Wang Mo gritted his teeth, and couldn't stop scolding himself in his heart for underestimating the military commanders of this era.

The situation was urgent, and Wang Mo didn't have much time to regret it, so he immediately shouted to the herald: "Call Commander Hao over to me immediately!" ”

After a while, Hao Gang was ordered to rush over.

In order to save time, Wang Mo didn't explain much to Hao Gang, and immediately ordered: "You immediately lead a regiment back to reinforce Li Xudong and block the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army that came to raid." You don't need to fight hard with the Beiyang Army, just drag them and wait for the main force to return to the division, do you understand? ”

"Beiyang Army?" Hao Gang's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and he accepted the task without hesitation, and promised loudly, "Don't worry, young marshal, a regiment will definitely let the Beiyang Army understand that our Sichuan Army is not a sneak attack if they want to!" ”

The strongest army in the world, Beiyang is really a good name!

Hao Gang had long wanted to face the Beiyang Army and do it with real swords, so that the world could know the name and strength of the Sichuan Army!

……

The position of the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army.

The exchange of fire had stopped, and the soldiers of the 1st Sichuan Division's artillery regiment had withdrawn completely, leaving only corpses all over the ground and a row of artillery pieces lined up.

A company commander of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army caressed the smooth and cold barrel of the artillery with an intoxicated expression, like caressing the skin of his beloved like condensed fat, and then laughed excitedly at Yan Enrong: "My lord, we sent it, this time it was really sent, a full hundred seven-life and five-mountain cannons!" ”

"Why didn't the people of the Sichuan army blow up these artillery, shouldn't they?" A battalion commander said with confusion.

The battalion commander looked around suspiciously, and suddenly noticed a spark in the hidden grass ten meters in front of him, and quickly rushed towards the location of a gun.

Suddenly realizing something, the battalion commander's pupils shrank a little, and he shouted in horror: "It's not good-"

Boom -

A loud bang pierced the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the dust was flying, and a huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the area of the artillery position of the First Division of the Sichuan Army. (To be continued.) (。 ))
