After the revolutionary party soldiers were divided into two routes, the East Route Army, under the leadership of Zhang Deqing, successively occupied Nanxi, Baihe Bridge and other places along the railway line. Along the way, the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion collected and surrendered the Qing army Li Lanting, Huang Maolan and other units, and the team has also grown from four or five hundred people at the beginning to more than 1,000 people now, plus hundreds of guns, tens of thousands of bullets, and some grain baggage captured, it can be called a soldier with enough food.

Zhang Deqing, whose real name is Wang Heshun, was born into a poor peasant family, participated in the anti-Qing uprising when he was young, and later followed Sun Yat-sen to join the League.

At this time, Zhang Deqing can be said to be strategizing and high-spirited, and he has a feeling of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan. Because the uprising was launched early, there was a sense of haste. But since the beginning of the uprising, I didn't expect that the revolutionary situation had never been like this, the Qing army in Yunnan Province was low, all the way north, and the Qing army encountered was about to collapse. If this continues, capture Mengzi, take Kunming directly, and recover the whole province is just around the corner.

In the headquarters of the Baiheqiao Revolutionary Party, Wang Heshun was explaining something to Li Lanting and Huang Maolan, the two Qing army leaders anyway.

"Two pipe bands, our army has successfully occupied the Baihe Bridge a few days ago, and Mengzi is in front of you, just around the corner. But according to this, there are four battalions of Qing troops stationed in Bazhai not far away, and last night the spies reported that Gu Linjing had two more battalions of Qing troops stationed. The strategic position of Gulinjing here is extremely important, it is the only place for the estuary to go to Kaihua and Anping, at present, the Gulinjing Qing army seriously threatens the rear of our army, the day before yesterday our army marched very urgently, but it did not have time to capture this place. ”

Li and Huang glanced at each other, knowing that this was the revolutionary party asking for their own and other people's names. But he was helpless, who told himself and others to join the revolutionary party!

"The two of us are willing to lead the headquarters to take down Gu Linjing. Please give the Commander-in-Chief's order. ”

Wang Heshun saw that the two of them were so interested, and they no longer forced each other, and said loudly: "Okay, the courage of the two pipes is commendable." I am allocating 100 rifles and 50 guards for the two Mausers, hoping that the two pipe bands will take Gu Linjing as soon as possible, contain the nearby Qing army, ensure the safety of the railway line, and make contributions to the revolution. ”

"Obey the command of the commander."

"Okay, let's set off as soon as possible, wait for the news of the triumph of the two, and then ask the governor for the merit."

"Thank you, Commander."

It can't be said that Wang Heshun underestimated the enemy, but the Qing army encountered along the way either surrendered or collapsed, which also made Wang Heshun look down on the Qing army in Yunnan. Although the Gulin Jingqing army has been stationed in two battalions, reaching more than 800 people, but so what, when the revolutionary army arrives, it will not be beaten. In fact, Wang Heshun didn't think about it carefully, more than 600 people from the Li and Huang divisions were also from the Qing army that surrendered, since they were all of them, how could they definitely defeat the Gu Linjing garrison with nearly 1,000 people, could it be just by virtue of a nihilistic "revolutionary" banner? Of course, in another time and space, the truth is just as Wang Heshun expected. It's just that at this moment, there is such a variable as Xiao Mubai.

Not to mention Li and Huang, who were rushing towards Gu Linjing, but said that in the headquarters of Gu Linjing's patrol battalion, Xiao Mubai was stationed all night, and combined with all kinds of information, the current situation was a little clearer in Xiao Mubai's eyes.

After the Hekou Uprising, the Revolutionary Party began to march north in two directions. On the evening of 1 May, the East Route Army had reached the vicinity of the 20-kilometer stele on the railway line, collected and surrendered the headquarters of Li Lanting and Huang Maolan of the Qing Army, and captured more than 200 rifles, more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition, and more than 100 loads of grain. On May 3, they reached the town of Nanxi and occupied it. On May 4, they arrived at the White River Bridge, which is 78 kilometers from the mouth of the river. The Western Route Army captured the barbarian consumption on May 3, and then Basa, Tianfang and other places were also occupied one after another.

In Xiao Mubai's eyes, the revolutionary party's military operation, the Western Route Army is better, and the Eastern Route Army is simply looking for death, not wanting to consolidate the rear, but going north along the railway line, putting out a long snake formation, but not caring about Gu Linjing, an important place on the waist. I don't want to think about it, as long as I go out of Gulinjing and capture Nanxi Town, I can copy the back roads of the East and West Revolutionary Party, and it will be strange if the Revolutionary Party is undefeated at that time. It is no wonder that the military qualities of the revolutionaries have been defeated repeatedly. Even the officers of the patrol battalion with them were very disdainful of the revolutionary party.

"Well, although the revolutionary party is the way to die, we must not be on guard. Be careful, don't let the revolutionaries take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, just mess with the rabble." The officers spoke with disdain

Xiao Mubai looked at it, frowned, this hasn't been fought yet, it is like 2580,000 dragged one by one, this is not good, as the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, there must be a reason for it. It seems that they have to be vaccinated.

Xiao Mubai snorted coldly twice and said: "Cheer me up, to put it bluntly, you are a group of recruits, what is there to be proud of, when will you defeat the revolutionary party, then be proud." I have memorized that the proud soldiers will be defeated. ”

As soon as everyone heard Xiao Mubai snorting coldly and admonishing themselves and others, they knew that the disdain in their hearts was seen by Xiao Mubai. Then he got up and confessed again and again.

As soon as Xiao Mubai saw their appearance, he knew that they didn't go to his heart, and he couldn't help but speak again: "Remember, at any time, we can tactically despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to it. ”

"Thank you for your teachings."

Xiao Mubai nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a sentinel came to report that the revolutionary party of more than 600 people was rushing to Gu Linjing. This time it was Xiao Mubai's turn to be surprised, it seems that the revolutionaries are not all idiots!

"Order the brethren, enter the positions and prepare for battle"

"Yes"

Xiao Mubai stood on the mountain beam with a Zeiss high-powered telescope in his hand, looking at the revolutionary party dragging in the distance, and Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin stood beside him.

"A rabble, nothing more."

"What my lord said is that with the quality of the revolutionary party, I really can't understand why those brothers can't resist it." Yan Weidong next to him nodded and agreed.

"You know the quality of the revolutionary party, but you don't see the quality of the Qing army's defense battalion. In comparison, it is not enough. ”

"This one too."

"Alright, command the brethren. Ready to fight"

However, it was said that Li and Huang hurried to Gu Linjing, and the soldiers were in a state of distress. Seeing the town in front of him, Li Lanting cheered up in front of the formation: "Brothers, work harder, occupy Gulinjing, eat fragrant and drink spicy." ”

Originally, they were all people from the former Qing military defense camp, what they were like before and what they are now, but now they are just changing their names, and they don't expect them to have a high quality.

Then a group of soldiers rushed towards Gu Linjing with a cheer of "Woo, Woo".

On the other side, looking at the oncoming revolutionary party. The soldiers of the patrol battalion were nervous, lying in the trenches one by one, holding the steel guns in their hands tightly. Fortunately, there were a number of officers who were constantly cheering back and forth.

The war is on the verge of breaking out.
