In Jiangning City, the news of an emergency on the front line has been delivered, but Lin Shuqing can't care about dealing with it, because there is a more tricky matter that needs to be dealt with urgently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSongjiang stayed behind Li Shuping, raised 300,000 yuan in the market, as well as a batch of weapons and ammunition, loaded and shipped, and sent to Jiangning for support. There were also 800 young men on board, who were used as supplementary soldiers.

Before the ship could leave the Songjiang range, it was detained by Albion, and all the people and materials were confiscated. This is obviously the opposite of its previous claim of absolute neutrality.

Wu Tingfang immediately came forward to negotiate, but Albiang's response was: Before the release of Ms. Chen Lenghe, all the material transportation of Ge Mingjun's troops was regarded as a hostile act against Albiang, and it was immediately seized as soon as it was discovered. Fuso, for its part, also received a note from Albion, and official transportation was suspended.

The cannon outside the city rumbled, the supply of materials on the front line suddenly became problematic, and the Taixi powers had already shown hostility towards the new Zhengquan, Lin Shuqing's eyes were full of anger when he looked at Chen Wuwei.

"Chen Dudu, tell me, how is this good? You have always been sharp-edged, do you want to negotiate with the Albians in person and persuade them to return the arms and replenish the troops? ”

Chen Wuwei was not afraid at all, "I can go and negotiate with them, but if you want me to authorize, you must unconditionally support any of my words and deeds, so that I will definitely ask for the rights and interests that belong to us." Either get the thing back, or I'll die there, anyway there's no third way. ”

As soon as this kind of white talk came out, no one dared to call his general, and Chen Wuwei sneered: "Mr. Sun's purpose in establishing a new country is to expel the Tatars and Yangyi and abolish all unequal treaties. You are so afraid of foreigners, even if you establish a country in the future, you will not be bullied by foreigners? Whether or not to release Chen Lenghe is an internal affair of our country and has nothing to do with him. ”

"Ms. Chan is a citizen of Albian." Xu Shaozhen reminded.

Chen Wuwei snorted disdainfully, "Her passport must be the day when it was backfilled, I run a newspaper in Songjiang, and I have never heard of Chen Yunqing's daughter becoming a foreigner." The people of Albion bent their bows to make us bow our heads and admit our mistakes. If we let people go like this, in the future, foreigners will be able to interfere in our national affairs at will, and we, the new righteous power, will become puppets of foreigners, and what face will you and I have to face 450 million compatriots? The more he intercedes, the more I can't let this person go, now it's like a gamble, as long as we can win this treasure, we can turn defeat into victory, and even win back with interest! ”

Lin Shuqing said: "If you lose, you will lose your pants." So far, you haven't even seen through the other party's treasure road, what do you rely on? ”

"No, I can see his treasure road, and he lacks confidence." Chen Wuwei shook his head and said, "Jiangning is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their artillery can't open our wall." And when the time comes, I tie Chen Lenghe to the head of the city, and I see who dares to open fire. Now we have to defend the position of the city, engage in a long-delayed battle with them, and wait until Wuchang divides the victory and defeat, and this partial division will not be afraid. Tianbao City and Yuhuatai must be supported. However, the rescue order must be clear, the sky must not be lost, and the rain is not enough. Now I suggest that another battalion of reinforcements be sent to Tianbao City, and then at night, with 200 death squads to secretly support Yuhuatai and pick up the remaining troops. The other departments are holding on to Jiangning City according to the original plan, and when their divisions are useless, we will counterattack, and then plot against their troops, so that none of them can escape! Besides, I also have the final certainty to ensure that Zhao Guanhou's attack on Jiangning this time is self-defeating! ”

Xu Shaozhen loves soldiers like a son, and he will certainly not be satisfied if he loses a battalion in one go, but he also knows the current situation that Yuhuatai is besieged by the fifth town, and sending troops during the day is equivalent to adding fuel. Chen Wuwei's plan is the least bad choice at the moment, and he can only sigh, "I'm sorry for the brothers in Yuhuatai." ”

Lin Shuqing supported Chen Wuwei's proposition: "Gu Weng, do Ge Ming, you can't be afraid of sacrifice, each of us, who is not ready to sacrifice?" ”

As soon as he made the final decision, he had nothing to say for the time being, and then sent another infantry battalion from the ninth town to march towards Tianbao City. However, halfway through the troop, Zheng Bailing, the pipe leader, suddenly ordered to dispatch two sentry posts to support Yuhuatai, and bring one sentry himself, and beat the camp flag to support Tianbao City.

This is a way to hide from the top, and no one will object to it out of the love of the robe. As we all know, it is fortunate that two sentry posts can't hold Yuhuatai, and a gap is made to rescue the friendly troops. The two sentinels solemnly saluted and led the team towards Yuhuatai.

However, the two sentinels did not set off for a long time, and they retreated with torches, and the voice of the sentinel was already a little crying: "We are going one step late, Yuhuatai has changed the flag, and the brothers who stayed behind thought that the city would not send rescuers, so they surrendered ......"

With the loss of Yuhuatai, Tianbao City has become the only position outside Jiangning City in the hands of Ge Mingjun. Jiangning's terrain is favorable for offense and defense, and this view is not entirely correct.

If Jiangning wants to defend, it must take the initiative to attack, replace defense with offense, and cannot defend passively. But now, the Zhejiang Soviet Army in Jiangning City belongs to different systems, and it cannot be integrated into one force, and there is no strong man who can control all the princes. Therefore, we can only conduct delayed operations in the form of defending as attack.

Li Tiancai has been on the horse for a long time, and he can see the crisis here very clearly, he sighed helplessly, and said to Yu Jinbiao, the pipe belt beside him: "I have never been so eager to wait for someone as now." Emperor Sun is like Mr. Sun. Only when he comes, can he rely on his popularity and personal charm to make these unruly military leaders obey his command, and only his speech can replace military pay and reward, so that these soldiers are willing to fight for him. I know that if we want to engage in unity, we must actually erase the influence of the integrity of the strongman, and we should talk about the collective, not the individual, and replace the rule of man with rules. However, from a practical point of view, there must be a strong man in China today, so that all forces can be integrated and all efforts can be used in one place, so that great things can be accomplished. If Huang Changjie is in Jiangning today, as soon as our Xiaguan wharf is lost, we will immediately organize troops to counterattack. The leaders of the armies feared his name as a victorious general and would obey his commands. If Mr. Sun is here, as long as he gives an order, we can directly fight the Beiyang Army outside the city and fight him with our lives. It's a pity that now in the city, everyone has their own thoughts, and everyone is only willing to contribute three points at most, so how can this be done. ”

It was dark, a cloud obscured the moon, and visibility was much lower than usual. In such a night, there is no need to worry about fighting, even if it is a sentry, it will not be chosen in this kind of weather. Besides, the soldiers of the North Army have two lives, and if they venture to climb Zhongshan Mountain, most of them will fall to their deaths first.

Li Tiancai raised the lantern and began to check the night post with Yu Jinbiao. His troops had sentry posts day and night, especially in wartime, and they did not dare to relax. Li Tiancai led the troops quite strictly, and every night, he had the habit of checking the post.

The sentinel was alert, far away, and began to shout "Password!" ”

"Together, return order!"

"Datong. Junmen ......"

Li Tiancai waved his hand and said: "It's all Ge Ming, don't call it Junmen, this is the title of Qianjin, we don't need it." Just call me Commander Li. How, are there any difficulties? ”

"Back to the commander, everything is fine here, and there are no difficulties. The brothers are all soldiers brought out by you, as long as you give an order, let us fight as we want, we will fight as we want, absolutely nothing to say. It's just that the brothers thought that to avenge the brothers in Yuhuatai, when would they be able to fight a counter-assault and give the Beiyang Army a little power. ”

"There's no hurry, there's an opportunity." Li Tiancai patted the soldier's shoulder with satisfaction, he brought out the thousand people by himself, and some of them were personal soldiers he took away from the old barracks, caring for each other, and their combat effectiveness was also guaranteed. Although the supply of materials is very tight, the morale is still quite full.

He was interested, and walked all the way to the cannon with Yu Jinbiao. The so-called Tianbao Castle is not a castle in the true sense of the word, but a giant stone fortress.

During the Taiping Army, huge cannons were built here to guard the commanding heights of this Zhongshan Mountain. After Zeng Jiu destroyed the Taiping Army, the cannons in Tianbao City were replaced, and they were equipped with more than ten fortress cannons purchased from Prussia, which were extremely powerful. When Ge Ming's army attacked Jiangning before, the biggest loss was under Tianbao City, and countless comrades hated it.

Li Tiancai groped for the cannon body and sighed with emotion, "This thing has hurt how many of our comrades." Some people suggested that it should be destroyed with water, but fortunately, although Lin Shuqing was a little confused, his mind was still very clear in major matters. Knowing that the sin lies in the man and not in the weapon, he insisted on leaving the cannon behind, so as to keep this sharp weapon. We still have more than 100 shells in stock, and tomorrow, let these Beiyang soldiers taste the power of this thing. ”

Yu Jinbiao nodded, "Yes, Tianbao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the reinforcements continue to pay for food and ammunition, we can defend it for a month." I feel that we should open a supply route to ensure our supply routes. ”

Li Tiancai said: "I've also thought about this, I really need to keep the supply line, and I can't be cut off from supply, so the giant cannon is useless." Also, don't call the championship any humble position, everyone is gay, you don't have to be so polite. ”

He instructed as if he had no idea, but his hand had already moved to his waist and gave Yu Jinbiao a look, the latter nodded with tacit understanding, and the two of them reached out to their waists at the same time and pulled out their guns.

Two gunshots rang out, and in the darkness, something fell to the ground. The soldier was alarmed and rushed over with torches, but saw a man dressed in black on the ground, who had fallen to the ground. Li Tiancai snorted coldly:

"When I was in Yunnan, I was a hunter, and I was a night eye since I was a child. In this kind of weather, the eyesight can also see a few meters. This kind of mountain is bare, there are no trees and grasses to hide themselves, and they dare to touch it as a scout, purely looking for death. ”

"Commander, good eyesight!"

"Commander, good marksmanship."

The soldiers looked at Li Tiancai with admiration, Li Tiancai waved his hand and smiled: "You don't have to be like this, this thing is mainly innate, and I am not very powerful, it is nothing more than a good eye......"

He didn't finish speaking. An object was thrown out of nowhere and landed near Li Tiancai. It was as if someone had thrown a stone or something at him, and he subconsciously looked for the past, and Yu Jinbiao stepped forward and said, "Who threw the ......?"

"Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and two hands tied together exploded. Li Tiancai and Yu Jinbiao were surrounded by the fireworks of the explosion, and then more hand-left bullets were thrown out in the dark night and thrown on the position, and the explosions sounded one after another, tearing apart the silence of the night.

I don't know how many attackers there were, and I couldn't figure out where the attackers were, so I fell into chaos. The giant cannon hit far away and not close, I don't know where it came from, but I know the ambush soldiers that are close at hand, it is obviously not something that the giant cannon can deal with.

Hand bullets bloomed everywhere on the position, and the bare stone mountains multiplied the power of hand bullets, and each hand bomb exploded, causing the defenders to pay a heavy price.

The composition of the vanguard of the Shanghai Army is a part of the original new army and part of the old army collected by Li Tiancai, which belongs to regular soldiers who have received a certain amount of military training, but they have not gone through actual combat and cannot be regarded as old soldiers.

The soldiers will only fight according to the drill rules, and they do not know how to deal with emergencies. The fate of the two commanders was unknown, which plunged the troops into complete chaos, and the soldiers fired their guns everywhere, and the attackers responded with bullets left in their hands.

In the dark night, I don't know how many enemies have come, and I don't know where the enemy is, and this kind of mental torture is more serious than leaving bullets in my hands. Just when the troops panicked and resisted only with a sense of responsibility, in the dark night, it seemed that countless evil spirits had been killed, devouring their last courage.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, the demons began to slaughter with bright steel knives in their hands. The blade flashed, the head fell to the ground, blood rushed to the sky, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

If the two sides line up in opposite sides to shoot, the accuracy of both sides is not much higher in this environment, and the defenders can barely support themselves. But the mental impact of this kind of white-knuckle fighting is much higher than that of bullets and bullets. For the Shanghai Army Forward Team, which has no commander, no backup, and doesn't even know how many enemies they are fighting, the only feeling they have in this kind of battle is two words: despair.

Attempts were made to light torches, but the attackers had both knives and bullets. Whoever lit the torch was bound to be taken care of by a platoon of guns. It was extinguished by torches, and the defenders were always in the darkness, engaged the attackers.

The more the defenders frustrated, the more evil ghosts killed, and in the dark, more and more ambushes were killed.

"There is no need for the people of Songjiang to die for Jiang Ning!"

In the dark night, I don't know who shouted such words, the voice was very loud, and the accent was also a typical Matsue accent. In the cry of a long live together, it was like an alien and extremely harsh. Soon, such shouts had an effect.

The soldiers defending the gun emplacement, discarding the eighteen-star flag in their hands, turned their heads, and fled in the direction of the bunker city. This group of soldiers may not be timid, but they thought that there were two fully formed battalions in the city of Dibao, and if they were joined together, there was still hope of regaining the gun position.

What's more, the fate of Li Tiancai and Yu Jinbiao is uncertain, someone must send them to the hospital for rescue, and the retreating team has prepared two stretchers to carry the two chief officers down the mountain, which cannot be regarded as a lack of bravery.

In the dark night, they could not recognize each other, and the defenders could not form a team, so they could not talk about taking the lead. Whether this squad was the first team to break up on the battlefield is no longer available, but we know that when the defenders of the artillery position completely give up the defense, the battle of Tianbao City has completely lost suspense.
