Chapter 173: The Style of That Shot
The gunfire in Jiujiang Baoguo Temple sounded like popping beans, and the two sides shot through the deer fence and barbed wire, but they both chose to raise the muzzle of the gun a few inches, and the bullets "chirped" and flew into the sky, shooting down a few autumn lone geese.
Even so, there were casualties from the stray bullets, and the greater damage was inflicted by the frightened mules and horses, which rampaged through the crowd, and no matter how much the handlebar style cursed and whipped, it still could not stop the frenzied beasts. Both the Jianghuai army and the Jiangxi army were in chaos.
The cursing and gunfire of both sides rang out, but they did not cross the deer fence and barbed wire fence that were the dividing line, and the artillery ambushed on the top of the hill did not join in the excitement. If you fire a cannon without the commander's order, isn't that the old birthday star hanging himself?
The warning of both sides fired a burst of gunfire, and gradually it subsided, and the gunfire became thin and thin, and finally fell silent.
"Bastard, who put the gun?" A platoon commander with a blue face roared angrily.
"The Gan army on the other side!"
", of course I know that the Gan army fired, I asked who fired the first shot, and I heard it clearly, it was the sound of the gunfire here and the sound of the Hanfeng I rifle??? Whoever does it quickly admits that those who dare to do it dare not be the girls who don't have eggs in their crotch! The platoon commander snapped.
The old squad leader hesitated for a moment, stood up with a bitter face and said: "Report to Platoon Commander Zhang, it's me, the gun went off, I was wiping the gun, I don't know what's going on, the gun went off!"
Platoon Commander Zhang's frightened face turned green: "Is it really the first shot fired by our platoon?" You can do this, let me tell you what's good! Division Commander Lu and Chai Dudu know about it, you kid is waiting to be shot??? Feng Yunhai is still a hero when he dies, and your kid is going to be shot, so it's called a nest! ”
The old squad leader was drenched in cold sweat, and said tremblingly: "Platoon leader, I was unintentional, why can't I not be the sin of being shot!" I'm a misfirer! ”
Zhang Pai Chang was angry: "Your hands are itchy?" What kind of gun are you wiping this guy? Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get rid of your hatred if you were shot! ”
The old squad leader listened to the tone of his words as if he was not going to become the second Feng Yunhai, so he calmed down a little, and carefully recalled the well-cooked military law regulations that he had memorized, no matter how he was, he would not be shot, but thirty military sticks were inevitable!
The black egg was a little strange: "Platoon commander, how did you learn to be obedient to the Gan army today, the guns are all fired at the sky!" ”
Platoon Commander Zhang snorted: "Why don't you go over and ask them?" ”
The black egg's head shook like a rattle, and Zhang Platoon Commander glared at the old squad leader angrily: "Lao Tzu has to be unlucky with you, just wait for your ass to bloom!" ”
The two sides did not cause a melee because of the accidental misfire, it was definitely not accidental, the Jianghuai army was at the forefront of the Jiujiang regiment, after all, they were from Jiangxi, and they still had some incense feelings for the Jiangxi army, and they would not come really until they had to. The Gan army, on the other hand, put the best-trained youth league on the front line. The Youth League, from the squad leader to the regiment leader, was selected from among the young students, and all of them were members of the Kuomintang.
After a period of confusion, the two sides began to clear the field, drove the frightened horses to the rear, and carried out on stretchers from those who had been trampled, kicked, and hit by stray bullets. Officers on both sides are aware of the same problem, and troops that have not been tested in actual combat are often at a loss when encountering unexpected events, forgetting the content of the training they say they normally have and only relying on instinct to react.
The military justice departments of both sides began to investigate and deal with the incident just now and investigated the cause of the confusion, and the old squad leader who was the initiator was naturally taken away on the spot, and even Platoon Commander Zhang was removed from his post, making him cry out for wrongdoing. An accident did not affect Lu Kai's mood, he sent someone to buy a large stuffed wonton for dinner from the most famous Chu Ji Chaos Shop in Jiujiang, and ate four Anhui specialty shortbread in one go.
The staff officers had to admire that the nerves of their commander were really made of tightrope, and in such a tense situation, the gunshots in front of him were louder than the firecrackers during the festival, and he was able to fall asleep and snore. Now that it had just quieted down, he ate again.
"Report, the Military Advisory Council urgently telegraphed!" A staff officer trotted in, straightened upright, and held a copy of the telegram that had just been translated in both hands.
Lu Kai drank the wonton soup and said, "Read! ”
"Anhui Military Advisory Office??? Today, we have received a notification from the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang that the Extraordinary Council of the Kuomintang has passed a resolution expelling Li Liejun from the party, and President Yuan Shikai, the provisional political axe of Yanjing, has also issued a telegram to dismiss Li Liejun from his post as governor of Jiangxi??? Order your troops to march into Nanchang immediately, try to avoid fighting, if Li Liejun resists stubbornly, your troops can decide on their own, and there is no need to ask for instructions??? Chai Dongliang! ”
Lu Kai threw the spoon out of the distance with a "snap", took off the military hat on the coat hook and buckled it above his head, and said energetically: "Go, follow me to the forefront!" ”
The staff officers immediately persuaded: "Division commander, don't! What if the Ganjun dog jumps off the wall in a hurry? ”
Lu Kai said with a smile: "If I am killed, the brigade commander takes over the command, the brigade commander is killed, and the regiment commander is promoted to division commander??? Boys, your chance to get promoted has arrived! ”
The staff officers begged bitterly: "Division commander, no, if something happens to you, how can we explain to the principal!" ”
Lu Kai laughed: "Don't worry, you are all students of the Governor, how can the principal be willing to deal with you?" Think about it, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for promotion is not easy to come across! ”
The staff officers and junior officers of the Jianghuai Revolutionary Army all participated in short-term training at the Anhui Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and Chai Dongliang personally served as the principal of the school, and they were all nominally Chai Dongliang's students. And Chai Dongliang can even call most of them by name, which also makes them feel doubly honored.
Lu Kai ignored everyone's persuasion, took a picture in the dressing mirror for a long time, and the Venus on the general's dress was shiny, and then he went out satisfied. The staff officers couldn't persuade him, so they had to follow him, and the guard battalion followed him with loaded guns and ammunition, and their nerves were tense to the limit.
Jiang Huaijun didn't know that Kuang Haishan and Lu Kai were Chai Dongliang's confidants, and if there was a mistake, there was really no way to explain it.
Lu Kai looked like he was a bamboo in his chest, his leather boots were on the ground, and every step was solid and powerful, which was completely different from the appearance he usually said was hanging, and he really had the bearing of a superior person. The staff officers suddenly found that his gait and walking with his hands behind his back, and the appearance of holding a horsewhip in one hand were almost exactly the same as Chai Dongliang, and they seemed to be carved out of a mold.
Even the arrogance in his expression is the same, but Lu Kai is a little more heroic than Chai Dongliang, while Chai Dongliang is more deep.
"See, our teacher is the school principal's faction, and the principal personally went to the danger of one hundred and eight horses to capture Anqing, and he also wanted to play a single knife meeting."
"Is it necessary? The principal is helpless, Zhu Jiabao is going to lead troops to fight Wuhu, the principal is the first to strike, our division commander is a little too much, if he has a mistake, the principal will not scold us to death when he sees us? ”
Lu Kai heard a whisper behind him, he turned around and scolded with a smile: "Rabbit cubs, what are you talking about me behind your back?" ”
"No, who dares you? Even if it says you, it means that you are brave and fearless! ”
Lu Kai's surname is easy-going, and the staff officers are not afraid of him, if he is replaced by Kuang Haishan, who has a calm surname, they will definitely not dare to make fun of him.
After Lu Kai walked to the front, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army suddenly became excited, and everywhere he went, the soldiers cheered and rushed to salute him, and he also waved to everyone frequently like the red horns in the theater.
The movement of the Jianghuai army made the Jiangxi army nervous, they were lying behind the improvised fortifications built with sandbags, staring at the opposite side, and many people's guns were already aimed at Lu Kai and others in the crowd. But Lu Kai was surrounded by the guard battalion and the soldiers of the Jiujiang Regiment, and it was almost impossible to target him.
After Lu Kai finished greeting everyone, he jumped on the sandbag of the improvised fortification very stylishly, picked up the horn rolled up by white iron, and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Jianghuai Revolutionary Army, be quiet!" ”
The soldiers of the Jiujiang Regiment suddenly fell silent, and the soldiers of the guard battalion saw Lu Kai standing on a high place, and hurriedly wanted to pull him down, but were stopped by his eyes.
Lu Kai turned around and shouted at the Gan army opposite: "Brothers of the Gan army, you have worked hard!" ”
He is now condescending, and he has just become the best target, and the sharpshooters of the Jiangxi army have pressed live ammunition one after another, locked the muzzle of the gun on Lu Kai, and waited for the commander to give an order, and beat him into a sieve!
"The brothers of the Jiangxi army have worked hard, since the Xinhai Revolution, you have recovered the whole province of Jiangxi, sent troops to Wuchang to relieve the siege of the capital of Shouyi, and defeated the counterattack of the Manchu court, your merits, the country and the people will firmly remember, and future generations will be proud of you!"
Lu Kai's voice came through the iron horn, and it seemed a little urn-like, but it could barely be heard clearly.
"Damn, it's nice to say now, and you forgot about it when you shot us?" A soldier of the Gan army said disdainfully.
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to what he has to say!"
Lu Kai coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then continued: "Now that the republican revolution has been successful and the Republic of China has been established, it is the time for the whole country to work together to build the Republic of China, what should we soldiers do?" Our duty is to obey orders, defend the Republic of China, and become the iron fist of the people, not to be the lackeys of the bureaucrats and the tools of their suppression and exploitation of the people??? I declare that from now on, the Jiangxi Army will be incorporated into the sequence of the Jianghuai Revolutionary Army and become the regular troops of the Jianghuai Revolutionary Army, and will enjoy the same treatment. ”
At this time, the Gan army suddenly exploded, they hadn't seen what the military salary looked like for half a year, and the treatment of the Jianghuai army was the best in the country, and there was no arrears of military salary. What is even more exciting is that the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army enjoy preferential treatment and enjoy priority when land reform and land division.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, let's only listen to Li Dudu!" When the officer saw that the soldiers were already moved, they were also a little afraid, and the consequences of the soldiers' mutiny were unimaginable.
Lu Kai continued: "I was ordered by Chai Dongliang, the Jianghuai patrol envoy, to receive the Gan army??? The Gan army originally belonged to the sequence of the Jianghuai Kuomintang, and now it is only officially joined! I repeat once again, the officer's position remains unchanged, and the treatment is exactly the same as that of the Anhui troops! ”
An officer of the Gan army really didn't dare to listen to it, and the soldiers around him began to talk to each other, obviously tempted!
He raised the muzzle of the gun, put Lu Kai's head firmly on the sight, and the three points were connected in a line, he pulled the bolt of the gun and put his finger on the trigger.
He was the number one sharpshooter in the Youth League, and the guns he used were also a new Mauser Baba, which was sold to the Jiangxi army by the Wuhu Arsenal.
The distance of one hundred and fifty meters was a piece of cake for him??? As long as the finger moves, the person on the other side will become a cold corpse!
