On the side of the Yangtze River, the warships were ready to set sail, and groups of Beiyang soldiers boarded the ships in an orderly manner, and the officers with foreign swords shouted loudly to cheer them up. Baskets of foreign money and silver were picked up to the shore, white and bright, and the supervising team licked their chests and belly, and the steel knives were bright and the foreign guns were dark. There is a reward for moving forward and killing when you retreat, the rules on the battlefield are so simple and direct!

The shirtless porter shouted the trumpet, and laboriously sent boxes of shells of various calibers to the artillery position on the top of the Turtle Mountain, the soldiers of the artillery mark shook the black muzzle, and the officer measured the shooting with a sextant.

Feng Guozhang rode a black horse, holding a foreign sword on the shore and kept galloping and shouting, personally cheering up the soldiers who were preparing to cross the river, and everywhere he went, there was thunderous joy, as if they were greeted not by a tragic battle but by a carnival all night.

Feng Guozhang saw that his morale had been boosted, so he grabbed the reins, and the war horse Herod screamed violently, and the front hooves stood up.

"Come on, cut down the captives for me, and sacrifice to the god of the river!" Feng Guozhang said expressionlessly.

More than a dozen ragged soldiers of the revolutionary army were driven to the river by wires through the palms of their hands, with leather whips and knife backs.

"Get on your knees!" The executioner with the red scarf shouted sharply.

These people have endured all kinds of torture since they were captured, and their bodies and minds have been greatly damaged, but they stand proudly in the face of the Yangtze River.

"Get on your knees!" The Qing army smashed the butt of their guns on the crooks of their legs and pushed them to their knees.

"Slash!" The military judge's order arrow was thrown.

Brush!

As the executioner's ghost head knife fell, the young heads separated from the body, and the blood gushing out from the neck spurted out along the beach into the Yangtze River, which flowed eastward.

Feng Guozhang was dressed in a military uniform, his scarlet cloak was like blood, he looked at the scene of murder, and the corner of his mouth picked out a sneer: "The traitor who can't be killed!" ”

"Junmen, the time has come!"

Feng Guozhang took out his pocket watch and looked at it, nodded and said, "Pass my order, and the whole army will march!" ”

Boom, boom, boom

After three cannon shots, the artillery on Turtle Mountain began to prepare for artillery fire, and the French-made seven or five barrels were withdrawn, sending a golden shell to the opposite bank.

First a little bit of fire rose, and then a column of smoke rose. The dots of firelight gradually gathered together, and the flames in Wuchang City soared into the sky.

The panicked people of Wuchang rushed out of their homes to avoid the artillery fire, and the cries and cries converged with the explosion of the shells.

Hundreds of large and small ships loaded with soldiers and weapons, under the command of the officer's foreign sword, paddled hard, Maxim machine guns, six-barreled Gatling machine gun mounts and then the bow of the ship, the shooter lying on the boat, the deputy shooter holding the canvas cartridge belt, vigilantly watching the opposite shore, ready to provide fire support to the infantry who were about to land.

・・・・・・ Dividing Lines・・・・・・

"Brothers, Wuchang is the capital of the first righteousness, these four hundred trillion compatriots were awakened by the gunfire of our brothers, and now Wuchang City is behind us, and behind it is our wife and children, mothers and sons! Hunan's Hunan First Association and Hunan Second Association can run back to Hunan, where can we run? As long as you grow up drinking river water and eating Wuchang fish, you have eggs, pick up the guys and fight with the Tartar dog! Zhang Zhenwu held a pistol in his hand, and he also boosted morale by the river.

Everyone in the Wuchang New Army is stained with blood, these people retreat step by step from Hanyang and Hankou, and now their eyes are Wuchang, and there is no place to retreat! More than a month of fighting has sharpened these sunny teenagers into battlefield veterans. The many life-and-death battles where the white blades intersected made them more murderous, and they were sharpened from pieces of stubborn iron into a cold sword.

Before the uprising, Zhang Zhenwu was just a small sentinel, he just fired the first shot of Shouyi with his blood, but now Sun Yaoqing escaped from the city, Li Yuanhong escaped from the city, and the net worth of more than 30,000 revolutionary troops and hundreds of thousands of people in Wuchang has been in his hands. Every decision he made could result in the unfulfilled deaths of countless people. It made him feel heavy on his shoulders!

Feng Guozhang raised by a son of a bitch! Zhang Zhenwu cursed secretly in his heart, and at the same time he was also resentful of his negligence. How can you believe that Feng Guozhang will truce for three days?

once blindly believed in Huang Xing, but as a result, he commanded the army to be defeated again and again, and then pinned his hopes on Li Yuanhong, but he fled, and there was no complete plan for the city defense layout of Wuchang City, and the entire command system was paralyzed! Now the soldiers can't find the generals, and they won't know where the soldiers are!

There were only two battalions of soldiers on the riverside, and there were only improvised fortifications made of sandbags, and heavy firearms were scarce! Facing the 8,000 fully armed and well-trained Beiyang Army, and facing Feng Guozhang, the Beiyang veteran, Zhang Zhenwu's heart hung in the air, and he did not have the slightest certainty of victory!

However, this is an inescapable battle! No backdown!

"Commander, the dogs are coming!"

On the surface of the river, the black pressure is overwhelming, and the ships of the Beiyang Army are getting closer and closer, and the black shadows that were just carrying white sails before are now clearly visible!

"Da Da Da!"

The machine guns in the position rang out, and a string of bullets swept aimlessly into the river, but the Beiyang Army was unmoved, but the rhythm of the soldiers' paddles became more rapid.

"Bang bang!"

The one-pound Grusen guns on the revolutionary positions also opened fire, and the shells hit the water, freeing up water dragons.

Although Zhang Zhenwu was not very good at commanding, he also understood that before he gave the order, the soldiers had already opened fire without authorization, obviously because of nervousness. At the same time, it also revealed that there is still a huge gap between the training level of the Wuchang New Army and the six towns of Beiyang, and this distance will not be quickly made up because of this month's bloody battle!

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the red top on the head of the officer of the Qing army can be seen clearly from the telescope, Zhang Zhenwu ordered: "Call me!" ”

The trumpeter, who had just grown slightly fur from his mouth, stood on a high place and blew the horn of fire!

Guns and cannons rang out on the positions of the Wuchang New Army, and the white smoke of gunpowder blurred the scene.

"Hall, Hall, Hall"

The Qing army also began to return fire, and at the order of the commander, the characteristic brass sound of the Maxim machine gun sent one after another fiery snakes to the south bank guarded by the revolutionaries.

A string of bullets hit Zhang Zhenwu's side, splashing sand everywhere, and then drops of slightly hot stuff spilled onto his face.

The trumpeter's trumpeter stopped abruptly, and a string of bullets stopped him, almost cutting him in two, and he fell straight down, still holding the golden brass horn firmly in his hand.

"Beat me, kill these dogs with no last name!"

Zhang Zhenwu's eyes were about to split, and he picked up a Manlixia rifle and was about to rush out of the position, but several personal soldiers pressed him down.

"Commander, don't be impulsive!"

The machine guns of the Beiyang Army were accurate and ruthless, and the small-caliber artillery and machine guns on the shore were dumbfounded by them after a few sounds. The Beiyang Army on board immediately carried out targeted killings of the infantry on the shore, and several of the positions that posed the greatest threat to them were engulfed by machine-gun fire snakes.

"Shoot me, shoot me, don't let them rush ashore!" Zhang Zhenwu's voice shouted from his chest, and the robes fell down one by one, breaking his heart!

Just a month ago, these people were still mixing horses and spoons with him in a pot and sleeping on a bunk. Sneak up in the middle of the night, and at the same time secretly drink a bottle of old wine and cigarette butt, and take turns to enjoy it!

On the position of the Wuchang New Army, everyone was desperately putting their guns down, but often as soon as they knocked down the Beiyang Army on a ship, they would be overturned by a string of machine gun bullets. Or even hit by several machine guns at the same time, torn to pieces by a rain of bullets.

Since Feng Guozhang's attack on Wuhan for a while, this has been almost commonplace, and the training level of the Wuchang New Army is too far behind that of the old Beiyang!

The ships of the Qing army were getting closer and closer, and the color of the officers on the tops could be seen with the naked eye, and the officers of the Beiyang Army were holding foreign swords and roaring like crazy. They are like roaring beasts, and only the flesh and blood of the revolutionary army can nourish them, and can dye the color of their tops red!

Before the Beiyang Army rushed to the shore, the positions of the Wuchang New Army were already showing signs of collapse, all the heavy weapons were dumbfounded, and the reinforcements behind were not yet visible.

How could two battalions of defenders of less than a thousand people fight against eight thousand well-trained old Beiyang?

Before the Qing army's ship docked, the infantry on it could not wait to jump into the river, and the guns were raised above their heads and rushed towards the shore.

"Call me!" Zhang Zhenwu picked up a ten-barreled Green cannon with his own hands and shot like crazy. Next to him, there was also a machine gunner whose Celestial Cover had been lifted off.

The second-in-command shook the handle of the machine gun so fast that bullets erupted from the ten barrels and converged into a flaming whip, and the Qing soldiers in the water were beaten to the ground almost instantly, and the eleven-millimeter bullets effortlessly cut off their bodies and cut them in two.

"Commander, danger!"

The soldiers dragged Zhang Zhenwu, whose eyes were blood-red, off, and had just jumped into the trench, when the bullets of the Qing army on the boat had already exploded the head of the deputy shooter, and the brains and blood were smeared all over the hot barrel.

The trench and the machine gun are only less than a meter, and the distance between life and death on the battlefield is often within easy reach!

The Qing ships gradually approached the shore, and the Qing troops in large groups jumped out of the boat and charged to the shore.

By the river, the Qing troops in black military uniforms were like ants, charging towards the shore while firing guns. These old Beiyang marksmanship is fed with thousands of bullets, and it is almost a gun biting meat. Although the soldiers on the defending side desperately fired their guns to stop them, they were suppressed by the fire of the river machine guns. The strength of the Wuchang New Army to fight back became weaker and weaker, and the gunfire gradually became thinner.

On the bank of the river, you can only hear the vicious laughter and piercing shouts of the Qing army!

"The emperor does not bless the revolutionary party!" Zhang Zhenwu saw that the overall situation had been decided, and he had no power to return to heaven, so he took out his pistol and put it on his temple, looking up to the sky and sighing.

"Commander!"

"Get out, don't stop me! Lao Tzu can't die in the hands of a full dog! ”

"Commander, look fast!"

Bang! Bang!

It was as if there was a train passing by on the river, and the dull sound was the firing of a cannon, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

The wooden ships of the Qing army were like papier-mâché toys, which were instantly blown to pieces, and the center of the explosion, whether it was people or weapons, was vaporized by the high temperature generated in an instant.

Zhang Zhenwu looked in disbelief and saw a hill-like cruiser in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with an eight-inch cannon spraying death flames at the Qing army. It was followed by a dozen swift gunboats, their bows ploughing open the river gates, and the cannons spewing flames of revenge.

A dozen warships and hundreds of wooden ships are like monsters of steel, devouring these poor toys at will.

The ghosts of the Qing army cried wolf and jumped into the river, and the small-caliber artillery and machine guns on the warships did not hesitate to harvest these cheap lives!

"Our sailor! It's our sailors who are here! Zhang Zhenwu jumped up excitedly.

On the warship, the bright red iron-blooded eighteen-star flags fluttered proudly in the river breeze!

"Brethren, get on bayonets! Kill all these dogs! Zhang Zhenwu picked up a rifle, stuck a bayonet, and was the first to jump out of the trench.

When the new army of Wuchang saw the reinforcements, their morale was immediately boosted, while the Qing troops who had already rushed ashore were frightened by the unilateral massacre on the river.

"Revolutionary army, get on the bayonet!"

With a soft "click", a bayonet with a shiny handle was loaded onto the barrel of the gun.

"Kill all the dogs!" The new army of Wuchang rushed out of the trenches shouting slogans one after another, and rushed towards the stunned Qing troops on the shore.

The Qing army also woke up from the initial panic. The officers shouted desperately: "Don't mess around, fight with these traitors!" ”

The Beiyang Army also stuck their bayonets in the body of the gun, and when the two sides were far away, they shot and shot, and when they were close, they picked the bayonet, smashed the butt, bent the bayonet, and broke the butt, so they used their fists and teeth!

The two new armies fed by the Qing Dynasty with the people's fat and people's ointment, are now fighting like beasts for different ideals and goals, and everyone has only one thought in their hearts: kill the person opposite!

The gunboat "Dengyingzhou" was uninhabited in the wooden ships of the Qing army, and the machine guns of the Beiyang Army hit its steel armor like tickling, and each of its guns could blow up a wooden ship to pieces.

While fighting the wooden boats of the Qing army, the small-caliber artillery and machine guns on the "Dengyingzhou" began to fire at the shore, tearing the Qing troops who had already landed and tried to rush to the shore one by one, tearing them to pieces or blowing them into powder.

As the sun sets, a touch of afterglow is finally sprinkled, dyeing the river a dazzling red, and the blood of the Qing army and the revolutionary army flows into the river, adding some tragic splendor to this full of red!

The red river, the red blood, everything in heaven and earth seems to not exist, only the blood-colored river is rolling eastward!
