Chapter 358: The Night of the Decisive Battle

The most glorious moment of Li Liejun's life was in the late Qing Dynasty in the recovery movement of the provinces, leading the Jiangxi Revolutionary Army to Wuhan, relying on the assistance of the Yangtze River Fleet, Li defeated Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army, which shocked the world, and was publicly elected as the commander-in-chief of the five provinces coalition army.

At that time, the strong Beiyang Army under the command of Feng Guozhang in order to conquer Wuchang, the last important town in Wuhan, the two main towns and the four mixed associations day and night, the revolutionary armies of the provinces in Wuchang City under the command of Li Liejun stubbornly resisted, and always kept the Beiyang Army out of Wuchang City, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Beiyang Army, but also made Yuan Shikai's confidence seriously frustrated, and had to accept the North-South peace talks.

Li Liejun, who is famous all over the world, showed that his IQ is extremely high at this time, but on the one hand, he didn't put Sun Yat-sen in his eyes, and then Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai joined forces to squeeze out, and the five-province coalition army also lost its role because of the north-south peace talks, and finally collapsed.

At this moment, the great glory made Li Liejun can't wait to lead the army to Wuhan and serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five provinces. However, he knew that if he left, he would not be able to give an account to Anhui Province, Nanjing, and the revolutionaries of the world. Li Liejun cherished his feather reputation, and he was unwilling to bear the notoriety of abandoning his comrades-in-arms, so he decided to fight a battle with the Jiangbei Army for the time being, if he was not defeated - of course, whether it was real strength or from various angles, the Xun army, which had only 5,000 men and lacked guns and ammunition, would definitely not be able to defeat the Jiangbei Army - but at least Li Liejun had fulfilled his responsibilities, and the whole world would not say that he had abandoned his revolutionary comrades-in-arms.

"It's difficult, I don't know how many people will die." Li Liejun said helplessly, this battle has been fought until now, and he himself is very disappointed, when he was fooled into sending troops to Anhui Province, he stepped on Wang Yongan's mine. Where is this Wang Yongan who is light with his peers, Yangzhou Xiao Zhuge , the person who went on an expedition to the Americas to play foreigners, he didn't know how to lose his mind after smearing meat oil, and he actually fought Wang Yongan to the end.

"You have to wreck and leave." Li Liejun muttered to himself.

"Report!" A soldier hurriedly ran over with a telegram.

"Speak."

"The White Turban Army defeated Wu Zhenhuang of the Southern Anhui Revolutionary Army in Wuhu, and at the same time sent troops south to invade Pengze County, Jiangxi."

"What?" Li Liejun was taken aback, this White Turban Army bandit is too bad, and the battle is completely unreasonable, according to the reason, it is necessary to consolidate the territory at least, but after the White Turban Army occupied the territory, it basically just changed the banner of the king of the city, and the county order became the county magistrate, and the rest did not change anything. Where they are the revolutionary army, they are the king of the mountain to grab the territory.

What Li Liejun never expected was that the White Turban Army was beaten by them to almost no one, and now the troops are actually divided into two routes, all the way north to Wuhu to fight the Southern Anhui Revolutionary Army, and all the way south to attack Jiangxi, which is really bullying no one in Jiangxi.

"Now the elders of Jiangxi expect the governor to return to Jiangxi, the White Turban Army is fighting bravely, the soldiers are struggling to resist, and the villagers don't know what to do." The guards went on to report another urgent telegram saying.

Li Liejun nervously took the telegram and read it carefully, he wanted to help the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Party, but at this time his hometown was in danger, Li Liejun could not help his neighbors extinguish the fire and lose his own home, so he personally came to Tongcheng and explained to Wang Qingyun, commander-in-chief of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army, that the White Turban Army had attacked Jiangxi with a large army, and it would soon reach Jiujiang.

"This ......" Wang Qingyun, commander of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army, listened to Li Liejun's request, and was very entangled in his heart, "The strength and ammunition of the Anhui army are inferior to the Jiangbei Army...... How to fight? ”

Li Liejun thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will ask the soldiers to leave the weapons and ammunition to Commander Wang." ”

"Thank you, Governor Li." Wang Qingyun saw that he couldn't keep the other party, and Li Liejun left guns and ammunition, which was indeed benevolent and righteous, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The Xun army then immediately evacuated Sunjialing, and gave the Anhui army 4,000 rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition, and hurriedly went south to help. Before leaving, Li Liejun told Wang Qingyun that Sunjialing was the most important thing, and he must send someone to defend this place, so that Tongcheng would not be lost, otherwise if Sunjialing was lost, Tongcheng would have no danger to prevent.

Wang Qingyun naturally understood the power of Sunjialing, and ordered Yuan Jiasheng to lead the first brigade of the Anhui army to be stationed in Sunjialing. The First Brigade of Anhui Province is composed of more than 8,000 people, which is the strongest combat effectiveness of the newly formed Anhui Army, and Wang Qingyun asked Yuan Jiasheng's army to guard Sunjialing, which is enough to see that he attaches great importance to Sunjialing.

The Anhui army made arrangements, but the Jiangbei army hid in the barracks all day long, either digging trenches or training, and did not fight or provoke, so they confronted each other, which made the Anhui army worry for a few days.

From the third day of the confrontation, the Jiangbei Army held a concert on the front-line position, and Wang Yongan invited the troupe from all over the country to dance and sing a big opera, so angry that the teeth of the Anhui army on the other side itched, okay, you are here to watch the big play, not to fight?

On the fourth day, the troupe continued to sing.

On the fifth day, the troupe continued to sing......

At four o'clock in the evening, when the winter night gradually fell, the Jiangbei Army camp was still in full swing, the Jiangbei Army soldiers in the distance cheered, and the soldiers of the Anhui Army on the opposite side stretched out their ears to listen to how the opposite side sang songs. The distance between the two sides is only 600 meters, and sometimes the soldiers of the Anhui army can really hear the sound of singing on the opposite side, and more and more soldiers of the Anhui army run from the second and third line positions to the first line positions, stretching out their ears to listen to the singing. At first, the officers were still chasing people, but then more and more soldiers sneaked in, but fortunately the officers did not care, and also joined the ranks of eavesdropping.

At the same time, except for the baggage troops who were left behind to cheer with iron horns, the rest of the soldiers entered the position in full clothing to prepare for battle, and the tunnels that had been dug for five days were full of Jiangbei Army soldiers.

"Hurry, hurry, are you ready?" A platoon commander of the Jiangbei Army walked past his soldiers and ordered in a low voice, from time to time a soldier trembled because of nervousness, and he whipped it over, so painful that the soldier did not dare to think about it and forgot about the nervousness.

"Ready, sir." The soldiers whispered in response,

The heavy machine gun was mounted, the bullets were prepared, and the platoon commander checked the camouflage of the machine gun again, and then he was relieved, he turned around and returned to the soldier to cheer up: "Brothers, this is your first actual battle, listen to me, stay for a while and half an hour of shelling, don't think about anything, just wait for the horn." After the horn sounded, I bent down and rushed over, did I remember how to charge? ”

"Remembered." The soldiers blurted out.
