In fact, from the moment he concentrated his forces to attack the Hubei Army's Jinyinhu defense line, Wang Mo expected that the First Division of the Hubei Army on the Hanyang side might copy his back road. In other words, this was originally a flaw he left for the Hubei Army, and the artillery regiment was a sweet and delicious bait in the flaw.

Previously, Zhang Wei had suggested that the enemy should be shown to lure the enemy with weakness, severely damage or annihilate the living forces of the Wuhan army, and then easily capture Wuhan. Wang Mo very much agrees with this idea, because he does not want to see the Sichuan Army capture the three towns of Wuhan at a huge cost of casualties.

Now that the strength of the Sichuan army has been exposed, it is impossible to show the enemy weakness. However, it was still possible to lure the enemy by revealing a flaw, so Wang Mo concentrated his forces on the side of Jinyin Lake and gave it a try.

Compared with the Second Division of the Hubei Army hiding in the fortifications, Wang Mo was more willing to deal with the First Division of the Hubei Army that came over in a hurry to attack. Of course, if the first division had not attacked rashly, Wang Mo would have invested heavy troops to break through the Jinyinhu defense line in one fell swoop and go straight to Liujiamiao Railway Station!

Time was a little tight, Wang Mo did not hold another military meeting, but urgently called Lu Dayong over and asked: "Lu Dayong, I will leave you your second division and one regiment, as well as the artillery regiment of the first division, to continue to attack the second division of the Hubei Army, and the momentum should be like our entire Sichuan army in the onslaught, is there a problem?" ”

"What?" Lu Dayong was taken aback, and then asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

There is nothing to hide, Wang Mo replied: "I am ready to transfer most of the main force and reflexively encircle and annihilate the first division of the Hubei Army that came to raid." So. The Second Division of the Hubei Army must not be aware of it and attack, otherwise our Sichuan Army Corps will fall into the front and rear of the Hubei Army. There will be heavy losses. As for whether Cai Hanqing can be dragged down. It's up to you. ”

"This ...... This ......" Lu Dayong's face was embarrassed, he didn't have much confidence in this kind of task at all, and a careless accident could probably cause a catastrophe to the entire Sichuan Army, such a heavy task really made him uneasy.

Wang Mo understood that Lu Dayong was worried, patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't worry." As long as you use more stun guns and mortars to increase your firepower. Even if Cai Hanqing sensed it and wanted to attack, he could use powerful firepower to drag them down. If it still can't be delayed, then let the artillery regiment of the 1st Division bombard it regardless of ammunition. Cai Hanqing is not a fool, he will not rush out and be bombed. ”

"That'...... All right. I'll try! "Lu Dayong is still a little reluctant, after all, this task is very important and it is not easy to do.

Seeing that Lu Dayong barely had no information, Wang Mo shouted: "What do you mean to try, take out some of the momentum of our Sichuan Army!" Can you complete the task? ”

Being drunk by Wang Mo like this, Lu Dayong suddenly stood awe-inspiring, and replied loudly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Next, Wang Mo began to gradually transfer the main force of the Sichuan Army, because he had expected the first division to take the back road. Therefore, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division, which had not been used before, has been preparing for the attack, and the reaction speed is very fast.

In order to annihilate the First Division of the Hubei Army in one fell swoop, Wang Mo transferred three regiments of the First Division and two regiments of the Second Division, as well as the artillery regiment of the Second Division, with a total of about 150,000 people.

The First Division of the Hubei Army had just crossed the Han River at this time, and if Wang Mo hadn't scattered the scouts far enough, I am afraid that he might not have been able to find out at the first time.

Wang Mo originally thought that the First Division of the Hubei Army would quickly launch a surprise attack in a hurry, but he didn't expect that they would still hide on the bank of the Han River until dark, and it seemed that they were going to sneak attack at night, and they really had a good calculation.

Since the First Division of the Hubei Army was not in a hurry to attack, Wang Mo was not polite, and immediately made urgent arrangements, opened the big net, and waited for the big fish of the First Division of the Hubei Army to crash into the net.

Night is slowly falling.

The wind was a little cool and gently blowing from time to time. The moonlight sprinkled on the earth, as if it was a light veil, and as if it was a layer of thick frost.

The night in the wilderness was quiet, and no sound could be heard around it, except for the occasional cries of grasshoppers.

Wang Mo led the main force of the Sichuan Army to lurk in the night like a ghost, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!

The corners of Wang Mo's mouth raised slightly, tonight let these guys in the Hubei Army understand that fat meat is not so easy to eat in the mouth, even if it is fat in the mouth.

In the hunt of praying mantis cicadas and yellow finch, everyone wants to be a yellow finch, or everyone thinks of themselves as a yellow finch.

When Wang Mo was lurking on the side and preparing to be a yellow finch, he didn't expect that there would be another person who wanted to be the yellow finch who made the last profit.

After dark, the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army was a little unrefreshed, not because they were slack, but because they were too tired. In order to hold back the Second Division of the Hubei Army, they didn't know how many shells they fired, and many artillerymen would be so tired that they could not move while sitting on the ground.

In the dense forest not far from the artillery position, a pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, and countless figures were hidden in the bushes.

In the dense forest, the whispered conversation of several people rang out.

"Brigade commander, you are really wise, and the artillery positions of the Sichuan army are really not much defended now."

"Hehe, Lao Tzu knows that the main force of the Sichuan Army must be transferred to encircle and annihilate the First Division of the Hubei Army."

"The brigade commander did not agree to the first division of the Hubei Army to launch a surprise attack on the Sichuan Army together, and those fools scolded our Beiyang Army for missing a good opportunity and wanted to sue the president!"

"Don't care about these idiots, just let them fight to the death with the Sichuan army. Wait for us to take out the Sichuan Army Artillery Regiment, and then join the Second Division of the Hubei Army to flank the main force of the Sichuan Army and inflict heavy losses on the Sichuan Army in one fell swoop! ”

"Then brigade commander, what are we waiting for, this artillery regiment of the Sichuan army has no defense at all, as long as one charge can kill them!"

"What's the hurry, when the first division of the Hubei Army and the main force of the Sichuan Army are about the same, we will attack again!"

……

The person who was discussing in a low voice in the dense forest was none other than the commander of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, Luo Enrong, and his subordinates.

Obviously, Luo Enrong is also a hunter who wants to be a yellow sparrow, and he is leading the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army to hide in the shadows, ready to rush out and slash the Sichuan Army at any time.

Wang Mo underestimated the officers and generals of the Beiyang Army too much, and always thought that the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army would not dare to leave Hankou lightly, but he did not expect that Luo Enrong would have the courage to lead his troops to attack.

Time passed, and the night was still quiet.

Near the dawn of the morning, the 1st Division of the Hubei Army finally moved, and took advantage of the night to touch the location of the Chaochuan Army.

The officers and men of the Sichuan Army, who had been in ambush for a long time and had been blowing the night wind for a long time, finally came to their senses and began to enter a state of combat readiness.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

There were bursts of low footsteps, not very loud, but as clear as a candle in the darkness of the silent night.

Appeared!

One!

Two!

Groups of Hubei Army soldiers kept pouring over and appeared in the sight of Wang Mo and a group of Sichuan Army soldiers.

Wang Mo did not rush to order an attack, but watched closely as a group of Hubei Army soldiers passed in front of him.

It wasn't until more than half of the First Division of the Hubei Army passed that Wang Mo suddenly pulled the trigger of the shell gun that had been dragging in his hand, and shouted: "Fight!" ”

Bang -

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the gunfire rang out, and the units of the Sichuan Army Corps, which had been preparing for a long time, immediately launched a fierce attack on the first division of the Hubei Army.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

Dada-

Countless rifles opened fire in unison, machine guns spitting out deadly tongues of fire at the same time.

"Enemy attack—" shouted the officer of the 1st Division of the Hubei Army in horror.

However, before the unprepared 1st Division of the Hubei Army could react, the crowds of soldiers were enveloped by the overwhelming rain of bullets and bullets, and they fell to the ground powerlessly after being penetrated by bullets.

The units of the 1st Division of the Hubei Army fell into a panic after being raided, and there was a great chaos, and countless soldiers lay on the ground to find cover.

The commander of the First Division of the Hubei Army reined in the frightened war horse and shouted: "Steady! Steady! Fight back now! ”

However, before the 1st Division of the Hubei Army could stabilize its position, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army launched a ferocious artillery bombardment.

Boom-boom-boom-

Shells smashed into the dense ranks of the First Division of the Hubei Army, and often a piece of artillery shells was engulfed by the soldiers of the Hubei Army, leaving only countless stumps and broken arms and huge craters.

"Fire—"

Xiao Jing personally waved the order flag, ordered the artillery to be fired over and over again, and frantically poured artillery shells at the first division of the Hubei Army at the fastest speed.

Such a crazy bombardment was extremely terrifying, not only causing huge casualties to the First Division of the Hubei Army, but also smashing the newly stabilized position of the First Division of the Hubei Army.

The attack of the Sichuan Army was very smooth, and the First Division of the Hubei Army had almost no way to organize several powerful counterattacks, and it was already on the verge of collapse.

Seeing the heavy casualties of the First Division of the Hubei Army, Tang Keming was dumbfounded, and shouted loudly: "Withdraw, withdraw immediately, this is a trap!" ”

Although Tang Keming gave the order to retreat, it was too late, and the Sichuan Corps, which had already completed the encirclement of the First Division of the Hubei Army, did not give them any chance to break through and retreat at all.

After the first division of the Hubei Army and the main force of the Sichuan Army fought, Cai Hanqing, who was in Jinyin Lake, immediately realized that the real target of the Sichuan Army was actually the first division of the Hubei Army. His reaction was not slow, and he immediately organized the Second Division of the Hubei Army to attack, preparing to cooperate with the First Division of the Hubei Army to launch a front and rear attack on the Sichuan Army.

However, how could Lu Dayong, who had been keeping an eye on Cai Hanqing, let the Second Division of the Hubei Army get his wish, and immediately organized a regiment of the Second Division to block and delay.

Fighting broke out everywhere, and gunfire rang out all over the sky.

Luo Enrong immediately understood that the time was ripe, and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Brothers, charge Lao Tzu, take out the artillery regiment of the Sichuan army, and let the Sichuan army see the true strength of our Beiyang Army!" ”

With the order of Luo Enrong, countless soldiers of the Beiyang Army rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the artillery position of the Sichuan Army like a tide! (To be continued.) (。 ))
