Chapter 11 Hatred of the Enemy

Seeing that the captive said "Heavenly Opportunity", everyone present looked at each other and smiled, and they also admired this person's eyes.

Zhao Bei glanced at the captive a few times and asked, "Looking at your military uniform, it shouldn't be the Jiangsu New Army, right?" ”

"I am a soldier of the 21st Mixed Association of the Hubei New Army." The captive looked directly at Zhao Bei and said proudly, "Are you the people sent by Anqing to contact you?" If so, let me go, we're all on the same path! ”

Zhao Bei shook his head slightly and said, "We are indeed from Anqing." But why should I believe you? Let's be wronged first, and then tie it up and ask. ”

"You were really sent by the Anqing Righteous Army? Do you still have cannons? That's great! Quick, shoot at the highest courtyard in town! It was the line of the puppet Qing minister, and it blew up there, and the Tartars were in chaos! The captive glanced at the two mountain cannons, then raised his chin to the east.

"Not only cannons, but also machine guns. But if you can't fire the cannon, it's not your turn to give orders. Chen Tieshan scolded on the side.

Zhao Bei and several officers glanced at each other, and did not easily believe the words of this captive, after all, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, it is better to be safe, in case of acting in a hurry, it will be more than worth the loss.

Seeing that the crowd did not seem to want to open fire, the captive was anxious, and stamped his feet and shouted, "You are too suspicious!" To tell you the truth, I am a member of the 'Qunzhi Society' in the Hubei New Army, my name is Zhang Licheng, and I am the trumpet soldier of the New Army! I am also an anti-Qing revolutionary comrade! ”

"Qunzhi Society? I haven't heard of it, but I've heard of the 'Daily Notification Society'. Wu Zhenhan said with a frown.

"Of course you haven't heard of it! We are a secret organization, which was formed some time ago. The day before yesterday, we heard that you had occupied Anqing, and everyone was very happy, and we knew that you would definitely send someone to contact us, but we didn't expect you to come here so soon. The captive snorted.

As a traveler familiar with history, he certainly knew the inheritance relationship between the "Qunzhi Society" and the "Society", which was one of the two revolutionary groups that led the Wuchang Uprising in 1911.

"Let him go." Zhao Bei waved his hand, affirming the identity of this person.

Without waiting for the guards to untie the ropes, Zhang Licheng hurriedly shouted: "Quick, hurry up the cannon!" Bomb the camp of the Tartars, let's pull the flag and rebel! ”

"Nope! You can't fire it yet! Zhao Bei shook his head. Without any preparation, the artillery was suddenly fired, and I am afraid that the new army of Qiu Cao would immediately bomb the camp, and it would not be easy to retract it again. We are not here to kill any puppet Qing Qincha, but to instigate the new army of Hubei and Jiangsu to revolt together, and we must completely control the forces of this new army in the hands of the revolutionaries, and we must not let them disperse or become opponents of the revolution. Therefore, this cannon cannot be fired unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

"And what do you mean?" Zhang Licheng rubbed his arms that were a little numb, and took a step forward to ask, but was stopped by Tian Jinfu.

"How many people are here in your 'Qunzhi Society' now?" Zhao Bei asked rhetorically.

"There are not many, there are only more than 100 members of the society who come with the army, most of them are soldiers, but there is one officer who is one of our people." Zhang Licheng paused, and then said: "Since we learned the news of the Anqing incident the day before yesterday, we have sent people to disperse to various battalions, falsifying news, spreading rumors, saying that Jiangning has been recovered, and the revolutionaries in Fujian and Guangdong have also raised troops to respond, and we have also incited those soldiers who are usually at odds with their officials and instigated them to make trouble. There are our people in each platoon of this standard, and the revolutionary enthusiasm is very high, and once there is an uprising, we dare not say anything else, at least the 41st standard will definitely be under control. ”

"Your Hubei New Army is here to do so, will you take the water route or the land route?" Zhao Bei asked again.

"From Wuchang to the boat, to Huangzhou that section is the waterway, starting from Huangzhou, to take the land route, in order to exercise, the engineering battalion specially built a simple road, from Huangzhou to Taihu Lake. Originally, after the death of the puppet Qing emperor and the end of the autumn exercises, our Hubei New Army should have returned immediately, but before we could get on the road, the news of the Anqing Uprising came, and the Hubei New Army was left behind to watch the Jiangsu New Army. Speaking of this, Zhang Licheng laughed. Guarded like a thief by the puppet Qing Qincha, the Jiangsu New Army was full of resentment, this puppet Qing dog official was really stupid, so that the Jiangsu New Army was also detached, and the military heart was available. ”

"It's called a rumor! The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and the Manchu court also knows that their days are short. Zhao Bei motioned to his subordinates to take out a military map, spread it out on the ammunition box, drew on the map with a pencil, measured it with a ruler, threw a pencil, and asked Zhang Licheng: "I want to send someone to contact your comrades, can you bring my people into the barracks?" ”

"As long as you change into a military uniform, it is not a problem to mix into the barracks. Don't forget, I'm a division soldier, and like a cooking soldier, it's easy to get in and out of the barracks, and now the camp is chaotic, and the officers can't hold it down. Zhang Licheng nodded, agreed with Zhao Bei's suggestion, looked at the full bullet box hanging from the waist of the guards, and reminded: "It's best to bring some bullets by the way, yesterday our bullets were confiscated by the dog officer, and now they are barehanded, only bayonets." Unlike your Anhui New Army, our Hubei New Army is equipped with Hubei-made rifles, old sleeves and Hanyang-made rifles, and they use 79-round head bullets, if you don't have this kind of bullets, give us some pistols. ”

Zhao Bei snorted and said, "We came prepared, carrying five different kinds of rifle bullets, and there are thousands of seven-nine round bullets, as well as some earth bombs, which we will also bring to you." ”

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go back to the camp with me, let's agree on a code, and do things at the same time! Thousands of bullets, this scene is enough to kill the puppet dog officer in the barracks. Zhang Licheng pulled up his sleeves with an excited face.

"Who is going to contact the Hubei Jiangsu New Army?" Zhao Bei raised his head and swept his eyes.

"I'll go!" Wu Zhenhan stepped forward.

"I'll go!" Tian Jinfu and Chen Tieshan also stood up.

Zhao Bei hesitated slightly, pointed with his hand, and said, "Tian Jinfu, you go!" Now that the situation is unclear, be more careful. ”

Tian Jinfu rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, with my skills, ordinary twenty big men are no problem!" "It's not that he brags, Tian Jinfu, who has practiced southern boxing, is agile, otherwise, Zhao Bei would not let him be the captain of the guard.

Zhao Bei pulled Tian Jinfu aside and whispered a few words, then instructed the guards to strip off the military uniforms of several other prisoners, and put them on for Tian Jinfu and his two subordinates, several people filled their pockets with bullets, pinned a small pistol to their waists, picked up a few bundles of firewood, hid the bombs inside, and then followed Zhang Licheng to climb the ridge, through the secluded woods to the foot of the mountain, carrying firewood, swaggering from the iron bridge into Huangnigang Town.

"Wu Zhenhan!" Zhao Bei lay on the ridge and watched Tian Jinfu and the others touch the barracks with a telescope, and then turned around and shouted quietly.

"In!" Wu Zhenhan responded.

"Order the artillerymen to measure the distance angle, calculate the number of artillery shots, wipe the shells, and in case of leakage, immediately open fire, bombarding the tallest building in the town, and at the same time bombarding the wooden boats loaded with cannons and shells moored in the river, and then divert the fire and fire at all the barracks within range."

"Yes!" Wu Zhenhan ran back to the valley.

"Click...... Click......"

Under the control of the artillery, the two brand-new Shanghai-made Krupp 75-mm tube-retreat mountain guns slowly raised their muzzles, and the light gun bodies made it easy to move, and once the guns were fired, the effective firing range of 4,300 meters was enough to envelop the entire town of Huangnigang under artillery fire.
