Chapter 141: The Fierce Battle Begins
The end is here after all!
The 31st and 32nd standards of the 16th Association of the 8th Town of the Hubei New Army led by him entered Sichuan through Yichang.
In Duanfang's view, "Pingchuan must first Pingrong County, and to destroy the revolutionary party, Wang Hengyue must be killed first!" ”
"Rong County is a deep disaster, Wang Hengyue is far from harm, unless it is eliminated first, otherwise the counterinsurgency will not succeed!" At the military meeting held, the end was iron-clad and gritted his teeth:
"Zhu Qinglan, how did you besiege Rong County for more than two months without building an inch?"
Seeing that this adult was targeting himself, Zhu Qinglan was not alarmed: "Lord Hui, Rong County is well guarded and has strong weapons, it's not that the seventeen towns don't work hard, it's true"
"Say no more!" Duan Fanghao unceremoniously interrupted him: "The imperial court built a new army in order to share the worries of the imperial court!" At present, Rong County is a small chaotic party, and it has not been peaceful for two months, why not? ”
"Your Excellency?" Zhu Qinglan settled down: "Now that Chengdu is under siege, it is very urgent, it is better to save Chengdu first!" ”
"Ridiculous! The rebellion in Chengdu all started from Rong County! If Rong County is leveled, the chaotic party will be leaderless, and the heart will panic, and the siege of Chengdu will be solved! Duan Fang sneered: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say much, I will attack Chengjiachang in the future, and then I will attack Rongxian!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhu Qinglan and the officers responded together, sneering in his heart, this Lord Duanfang has just arrived, he doesn't know the situation in Sichuan, he doesn't know the real strength of Rong County, and he will soon have a hard time
The intensive mobilization of the Qing army, everything was seen in Wang Hengyue's eyes.
The end party is here, and the show has officially begun!
Lowered the binoculars: "Did Yang Sen and Wang Zan Xu set off?" ”
"Yes, it's already gone."
"Xie Shuixiang, Li Yifeng, Xu Mu!"
"In!"
"Stick to Chengjiachang, don't let the Qing army enter a single step!"
"Yes!"
"Deng Xia, Jia Haoyang!"
"In!"
"Strictly guard the artesian wells and tribute wells, once the end side can't open the situation head-on, it will inevitably divide the troops to attack these two places!"
"Yes! Never let the Qing army advance half a step! ”
"Ma Xiao, Huang Zixuan!"
"In!"
"Responsible for the defense of Rong County, no mistakes!"
"Yes!"
"Order Leshan Wu Qianlong, guard against Leshan at the same time, look for opportunities, and take the initiative to attack!"
"Yes!"
One order after another was passed out, and the entire Chinese army took action as soon as possible!
Since we are going to fight, let's fight a big fight and let the artillery fire come more violently!
Early in the morning, the Qing army began to bombard Chengjiachang with artillery fire, but it was obvious that Niu Sangui and they were not wrong, there was a problem with the ammunition supply of the Qing army, and the artillery fire was far less fierce than before.
At the same time as the Qing army opened fire, the Chinese artillery also returned fire with artillery!
This operation is different from the past, the Chinese army no longer has any reservations, and has taken out all its housekeeping skills!
The shells roared out of the air, and one after another fell on the enemy's position, and the continuous fire enveloped everything.
The artillery fire of the Qing army was obviously down, and it was quickly suppressed by the powerful momentum of the opponent!
Duan Fang held the telescope and never put it down.
Is this a revolutionary party? When did they have such heavy artillery fire?
Zhu Qinglan on the side sneered constantly, Duan Fang, Lord Duan, now it's your turn, do you know the predicament I am facing?
The Qing troops in the position were a little confused, what was going on? It was fine before, everyone was fine, why did you really fight all of a sudden?
And those revolutionary parties, everyone has known each other for so long, and they can be regarded as half friends, why are they so ruthless when they start a fight?
Finally the sound of the cannon gradually died down, and the officer behind pulled out his sword:
"Attack!"
The soldiers of Seventeen Towns stood up reluctantly, bowed their heads, bent over, and slowly pressed towards the opposite position.
The position that used to be accessible in a moment now seems so long.
"Sangui, what should I do?"
Niu Sangui was a little annoyed: "As soon as the gunshots rang out on the opposite side, the brothers would lie on the ground and don't move, everyone knew it, and they couldn't do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gunfire on the position of the Chinese army had already sounded.
Niu Sangui and his companions immediately fell to the ground as fast as they could, motionless.
And the Chinese army also seemed to be very cooperative, and the bullets were all slightly raised and flew over their heads
The soldiers of Seventeen Towns had known each other for a long time and did not really want to fight, but the troops brought by Duanfang had no friendship with the Revolutionary Party.
Duan Fang's younger brother Duan Jin personally stood on the front line to direct the battle, and those Hubei New Army soldiers waited until the artillery fire stopped, and rushed forward with a roar.
The heavy machine guns on the opposite position shouted wildly, and the heavy machine guns on the positions of the Hubei New Army also unceremoniously spat tongues of fire!
Two elite Chinese armies were strangled together in Chengjiachang
Rows of grenades were thrown out by the Chinese army, and the Qing army was not to be outdone by returning fire with bombs. In the "boom" explosion, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder drowned everything.
The rifles of both sides are constantly taking the lives of the enemy and destroying the will of the other.
On this battlefield, no one is afraid of either the attacker or the defender, and the cowardly can only be the first to lose his life in such a war!
The attackers were knocked down, but they didn't make much adjustment, and soon pounced on them with a "whoop".
The officers of the Chinese army, or the Qing army, are almost all carved out of a mold, they are expressionless, they disregard death, they disregard life, the only thing they want is victory!
The heavy machine guns on both sides went crazy, and they poured bullets at each other with all their might, hoping to let all the people on the other side fall under their own dense bullet rain.
No one had ever experienced such a tragic battle, but now it was so real in front of their eyes.
One of the Qing soldiers was knocked down, one of his legs was broken by a bullet, and he tried to climb a few steps forward, but a group of his own people rushed up from behind him and stepped on him, completely unaware that there was a struggling companion at his feet.
This Qing soldier may have had a chance to live, but at this time, he died at the feet of his companions
With a "boom", a bomb fell into the position, and three soldiers of the Chinese Army were blown down at once. One struggled to get up from a pool of blood, but suddenly he found that his eyes could see nothing.
The soldier cried out in panic, groping and screaming everywhere, but no one heard or saw it.
The blind soldier straightened up, but soon, a string of bullets flew through his chest. He fell headlong into the middle of the ground again
Everywhere there were gunshots, everywhere there were explosions, everywhere there were screams!
The cruelty of war is best reflected here, in Chengjiachang.
The fierce battle lasted for two hours, and the attacking Qing army left nothing but more than 100 corpses. While they were gasping for breath and retreated, the gunfire on the battlefield continued to ring.
"Big brother, the firepower of the chaotic party is too intensive!" Seeing Duan Fang coming up, Duan Jin said a word, and found that he had lost his mouth, and the eldest brother repeatedly explained that he was not allowed to be called a brother in the army, so he hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, I have broken more than a hundred brothers, and the chaotic party seems to be crazy, no matter how we attack, we can't attack it!" ”
The tragic scene Duan Fang also saw with his own eyes, it was not that his younger brother and soldiers did not work hard, they had already done their best, it was really the firepower of the chaotic party that was too unexpected!
"Duanjin!" The end of the face was gloomy: "Don't you claim to be a brave general?" The imperial court has raised soldiers for thousands of years, and the soldiers are used for a while, and now Sichuan is in danger, what are you waiting for! ”
"Wow!"
Duan Jin responded loudly, his fierce spirit surged, and he drew out his command knife: "Brothers, the time has come to serve the court, if you are not afraid of death, rush with me!" ”
Looking at the back of his younger brother rushing forward desperately, Duan Fang nodded slightly approvingly.
If your brother is like this, what more can you ask for
Tao Yizhang, the deputy commander of the 31st standard of the Hubei New Army, couldn't remember how many times this was the first time that the team led by himself was defeated.
Fuck, I thought that no one in my team looked at me except for the Beiyang Army, who would have thought that those chaotic parties on the other side were also so capable of fighting!
Duanjin has already given a death order, if he can't break through the enemy's position before dark, all officers below the standard command will be dismissed on the spot!
People can die, but honor cannot be lost!
Tao Yizhang brandished the command knife and roared:
"Brother, don't die, rush, follow me!"
"Heng Shuai, why are you here!"
As soon as he saw Wang Hengyue actually appear here, Xie Shuixiang's eyes turned red: "Heng Shuai, it's too dangerous here, come here, take Heng Shuai down!" ”
"Bastard, are you the governor or am I the governor!" Wang Hengyue glared, and then pointed to the front: "How is it, how is the fight?" ”
"The Qing army is crazy, it hasn't stopped since morning! The barrels of the heavy machine guns are all red! ”
A bomb exploded not far away, and Wang Hengyue's body remained motionless: "Let the brothers must resist it, and it will be easy to wait until the sharp spirit of the Qing army has passed!" ”
The Qing army's offensive began again, and this time unusually, a large number of officers appeared at the forefront of the ranks!
"The dog said, the Qing army is trying to play with their lives!" Xie Shui scolded in a murmur: "Enter the position, enter the position, prepare for battle, prepare for battle!" ”
"Bring me a rifle!" Wang Hengyue suddenly put down the binoculars and said.
The rifle was handed over to Wang Hengyue, Wang Hengyue raised the gun, aimed at the Qing army officer who rushed to the front, wielding a command knife in his hand, adjusted his breathing, and then pulled the trigger steadily.
With a "bang", the gunshot rang out, and the Qing officer in the target fell to the ground, and suddenly the surrounding Chinese soldiers broke out into cheers.
Wang Hengyue didn't know that the officer he killed was Tao Yizhang, the deputy commander of the 31st standard of the Qing army!
