When the sun shone on the earth again and the night was dispelled by light, as Zhao Guanhou said to Xie Cheng, the iron-blooded eighteen-star banner of Tianbao City had been replaced by the Yellow Dragon Banner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe commanding heights of Zhongshan fell back into the hands of the Beiyang soldiers. Zhao Guanhou, Sun Meiyao, and Cheng Yue appeared at the Tianbaocheng fort at the same time, making Ren Sheng, who was in charge of the night attack, and the officers and soldiers of the first post of the guard battalion cheer in unison.

The Lu army has special night combat training, plus more vitamin supplements, and the soldiers are not blind. Night battle is the strength of the Lu army, with long strikes and short blows, and the results are brilliant. The retreating guards did not have time to destroy the supplies and burn the documents. Many important documents fell into the hands of the Fifth Town, including the plan for the defense of the entire Jiangning.

Ren Sheng's troops were his two specially selected battalions, plus Zhao Guanhou's guard battalion, and the strength was not superior to the soldiers in the bunker city.

But in the middle of the night, the children of the Huai army turned the direction of the three of the heavy artillery and aimed at the bunker city. At the foot of the mountain, reinforcements are also coming up the mountain one after another to consolidate the results. One of the sentry points of the artillery mark, which had gone up the hill to control the gun position, was loaded with shells ready to fire.

Ren Shengdao: "I really didn't expect that my eyesight has improved so much compared to the past, and I can see more clearly than the other party at night." The other party was basically blind and could not see anything at night, and beat them as if they were blind, so that the brothers took a big advantage. There is also the knife of the fifth master, but it is really powerful enough, when you are old and strong, the heads of the people you kill are rolling, and the old man can be regarded as the first merit. ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "Don't dare to be." This is actually because they themselves are in a mess, and they can't see people, they put their guns indiscriminately, and they are cowardly before they fight. Otherwise, it would be useless to let me work ten times better. Today's world is already a world of guns, and kung fu is not useful. ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to be too humble, we admire your kung fu." Without you teaching everyone to climb mountains in Shandong, how could you win today's battle. Drink water and don't forget to dig wells, you have the most credit for this night battle. ”

Cheng Yue was nervous and speechless, her face was swollen and red, and her hand was tightly grasping her husband's hand. Feeling her husband's hand clasping her own, she felt extremely solid in her heart. Huai Jun is so capable of fighting, which makes her feel very relieved, and she feels that she is a useful person, husband...... Maybe for the sake of these soldiers, they won't snub themselves anymore.

Ren Sheng didn't care about looking at the eldest lady, but pointed to the map excitedly, "Tianbao City, the Dibao City is lonely, and it can't be defended for a long time." The whole of Jiangning is already under our control. ”

"Don't be too happy, they are not good at night fighting, so they didn't dare to attack last night, you can suffer today, they will definitely be desperate to recapture Tianbao City, do you have the confidence to defend it?"

Ren Sheng gave a military salute, "Label and live and die with the position." ”

The two battalions guarding the city were not good at night fighting, so although they heard the movement of the city, they did not dare to organize troops to counterattack. Li Tiancai and Yu Jinbiao were sent to the hospital in the city for rescue, and the two pipes in charge of the defense of the city saw through the telescope that the Beiyang soldiers were already turning the muzzle of the gun, aiming at the city.

The two glanced at each other, "If the cannons are all turned in their direction, our city will be bombarded immediately." We must ask Jiang Ning for help, and we have to find some way ourselves. ”

"As soon as we lose here, the entire Jiangning is equal to the door opening, the commander's life and death are unknown, we have to grit our teeth and hold on in order to get the right old man. If we lose here, the whole Jiangning will not be able to defend it, we will not ask for help, and the reinforcements will come back. But we can't just get shelled here, I suggest that we organize a death squad and take back the fort. ”

"What your brother said makes sense, but to recruit a death squad, you have to have money, and if you don't have money, how can anyone dare to die?"

Guan Qian Guanghua smiled bitterly: "If you don't have that money, don't you still have my money?" I have a house in Songjiang, which was left by the older generation, and if I sell it, it will be worth hundreds of yuan. Whoever goes with me to recapture the fort, I will give five yuan alone, and according to this standard, I will prepare to recruit troops. ”

Another pipe belt Wang Yougong nodded and said: "How much your brother is out, how much I do, let's pool money together, recruit a hundred death squads, and fight with them!" You stay here, and I'll take the death squad up. ”

"Just kidding, in the threshold, my junior is ahead of you, which turn is your turn to be a hero, if you want to fight hard, I will come first!"

The two were still arguing about who would be the pestle and who would be Cheng Ying, an earth-shattering bang had sounded, the three cannons of Tianbao City had been debugged, and three huge cannonballs blasted out and landed on the fort of Dibao City.

Inside the city of Jiangning.

Lin Shuqing was woken up from bed in the middle of the night, he was sleeping with a "Liangshan hero" in his arms, drinking a lot, and after being shaken awake, he raised his hand and slapped the orderly, touched the gun everywhere, and prepared to kill this daredevil, who dared to disturb his own dreams and peeked at his aunt's jade body.

However, the person who came said "Tianbao City was attacked, Commander Li was seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown" scared his drunkenness and disappeared without a trace.

He got up in a hurry, put on his coat haphazardly, turned on the faucet, and poured cold water on himself. His mind cleared up slightly, and then he said: "Assemble the team, how many gathered!" Take back Tenpo Castle for him! ”

"Commander, don't be impulsive first, I'm afraid you won't be able to send reinforcements overnight." The chief of staff arrived in time to stop the orderly. Lin Shuqing's chief of staff is Tao Junbao, and it was in his name that Chen Lenghe was tricked into kidnapping Yangshupu. He is a son of a famous family in the southeast, and he teaches in the Wubei School, and has half of the master-apprentice relationship with Lin Shuqing, and he is very trusted by Lin Shuqing. Seeing him stop, Lin Shuqing also calmed down.

"Teacher Tao, Tianbao City is not trivial, once it is lost, the entire Jiangning may be in danger, no matter what, this place must be saved. Taking advantage of the fact that the Beiyang soldiers are not firmly established, there is still a chance to kill, if they gain a firm foothold, this position will be recaptured. Before attacking Tianbao City, you don't know how many people we died. ”

Tao Junbao shook his head, "It is precisely because I know that I don't support your rash actions, our people have never been trained in night battles, and most of the brothers are blind and blind, fighting at night, they have no eyesight, and most of them will suffer." If the Lu army was able to launch such a successful night attack, it must have special night combat training, and engaging it was tantamount to fighting it with a short attack and a long attack, and the outcome was uncertain. What's more, now in Jiangning City, Chen Wuwei is the strongest, why should we take advantage of others? ”

"Teacher, are you ...... What do you mean? ”

"The three provinces of the Yangtze River have recovered, and the recovery will make the greatest contribution. But now? They want to welcome Emperor Sun back to be the commander of the new country, I know, you are a member of Xingzhong, but we have to think about it, who laid down these foundations. Emperor Sun regards Xinzheng Mansion as his own bag, I do not support it, according to my ideas, with Lin Gong as the leader, Cheng Quande and Tang Xiangming as the wings, and take the unification of the world as the call to form a unified party. In the election campaign of the Unification Party and the Xingzhong Association, it is up to the people to decide who should be in charge of the country. Chen Wuwei naturally hated my proposition and regarded me as a thorn in his side, and you, the commander of the town army, were also not welcomed. I got information that his plan was to use the town army to go north, take the attack as the defense, take the initiative to attack the Beiyang soldiers, and beat the battle line to the outer circle. ”

Lin Shuqing shook his head: "How can this work?" Jiang Ning was beaten down by me, and he came to kick me out, and I was the first to refuse. Don't say it's him, even if Xu Gu wants to drive me out of Jiangning, he can't do it, he is a little deflated, how can he have this qualification to order my town army. ”

"That's it, he's killing people with a knife, and in the name of defending Jiangning, he wants to murder our group and exclude and suppress other friendly parties. Our Restoration Society and the Xingzhong Society, which were originally companions, have now parted ways because they are not accustomed to some of their practices. Chen Wuwei is a person with great ambitions, and he has a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, and he has raised a large number of killer assassins, and the personal safety of you and me is a big problem. If the troops are severely damaged again, the Ge Ming fruit of the Restoration Society will be usurped by him. Although you are a member of Xingzhong, you also have to think about it, Chen Wuwei has ever regarded you as a member of Xingzhong, and what is his attitude towards you? ”

Lin Shuqing said: "Although I am a member of Xingzhong, I absolutely obey the teacher's words, for me, no matter whether Xingzhong or Guangfu, as long as it is to expel the Tartars, it is a good party." As far as I am concerned, the teacher is the person I respect the most, and I will not allow anyone to harm the teacher. ”

Tao Junbao said with a smile: "I can't talk about harming or not, I'm a famous family in Zhenjiang, I don't think Chen Wuwei dares to attack me casually." However, we need to learn to be smart and not be taken advantage of. The main task of the town army at present is not so much to deal with the Beiyang Army outside, but to guard against the friendly forces behind it. If our guns are gone, our lives are in danger. It is the Xingzhong Society that is anxious to build the country, not us, and their earnestness for defending Jiangning is only stronger than ours, not weaker, so we don't have to let the brothers rush to death. Tempo Castle ...... There are Zhejiang Army, Shanghai Army, Ning Army and other departments, which are enough to deal with. Besides, in the final analysis, this battle was provoked by Chen Wuwei, he is responsible for the aftermath, and we will not solve the problem for him. ”

Lin Shuqing thought for a while, and beckoned to the ****** behind him: "Ah Liu, bring me a bottle of brandy, I'm drunk and don't know anything today." When you ask tomorrow, everyone can remember what to say! ”

In Chen Lenghe's cell, in the middle of the night, the door was slammed open, and she sat up from the bed alertly, holding a broken piece of porcelain tightly in her hand.

There is an electric light in the room, and after someone enters the door, he directly unscrews the light, and then said with a smile: "I still have one eye open when I sleep, I am really alert, you can rest assured, the outside is your own people, who dares to touch your crooked brain, I let Lao Ying stick to him." ”

The one who came in was Weng Meiqian, the white-faced sister-in-law who had been with Leng He recently, and she was carrying a leather bag in her hand. Chen Lenghe looked carefully and saw that it was the lady's handbag he was holding when he was arrested. In this bag, there is only a pistol given by Sai Jinhua, plus some foreign currency, and the rest is perfume and cosmetics, and there are not many useful things.

After it was confiscated, she didn't think about coming back. Weng Meiqian put the bag in her hand, "Lao Ying took a lot of effort, and finally got your bag back, look at it, are the things there?" If you miss something, I'll do it for you right away. ”

Chen Lenghe checked slightly, "It's nothing, nothing is missing, Sister Weng's kindness, I want to say thank you here." ”

"What's polite, sister, this thing is just a gesture, don't be polite to me." Weng Meiqian said with a smile, leaned over and sat down beside Chen Lenghe, and stretched out her hand to put it on her shoulder, as if it was an intimacy between lovers. Leaned his mouth to her ear and whispered: "I'll tell you a good news, your man is here with troops, and Tianbaocheng has asked him to take it...... You need to help me with my family's old business......"

Tenpo Castle

Ren Sheng had already taken off his shirt and went into battle shirtless, taking the lead in pushing the fortress cannon purchased from Prussia. In the Huai army, the soldiers, who were known for their bravery, worked together to turn the direction of the muzzle.

Wang Wu and Zhao Guanhou were all involved in the team of pushing the cannons, and Ren Sheng shouted angrily: "Use all your strength for me, Miss is on the mountain, if you let the cannons under the mountain fall on the mountain and hurt Miss, I will not be finished with you!" ”

In Jiangning City, four battalions of 2,000 soldiers have been sent to organize the recapture of Tianbao City. The artillery in the city was also pushed out and joined the bombardment of Tianbao City. But all that is now in Jiangning City is light artillery, and the range is limited, and it cannot reach the mountain. On the contrary, once the fortress cannon on the top of the mountain completes the turn, it can form an absolute deterrent to the bottom of the mountain.

Cheng Yue went up the mountain desperately, and Zhao Guanhou scolded her loudly, but she was unmoved. only said: "Where is the master, where is the concubine, and he will definitely not take the first step." "I personally held the Yellow Dragon Banner and supervised the battle on the top of the mountain. This time, the morale of the Huai army children in Tianbao City has doubled, but the pressure has also become greater.

The attack of the coalition army was very fierce, and the troops rushed up wave after wave like a tide, and the two pipe belts of the city were killed one after another. Within half an hour of the gang taking over the pipe belt post, he was also killed under artillery fire. Now it was the sentry officer who took the place and led the remnants of the army to attack, and the reinforcements also organized death squads to make a detour up the mountain from both flanks to attack the artillery positions of Tianbao Castle.

More than half of the cannons on Tianbao City have been turned, but the most powerful cannon has not yet completed its turn. One of the great advantages of Fifth Town is that it has a large number of hand-held bullets, which are extremely powerful in mountain offensive and defensive battles, and when a row of hand-held bullets is dropped, the attackers are immediately blown up and retreated. In addition, the Mini rifle platoon of the guard battalion fired quickly and accurately, and it was as terrifying as a nightmare for the attackers.

The attackers, armed with smoothbore guns, had just raised their guns, but before they could shoot, they were strafed by the Minnie guns and fell down in rows. The new army was uneven, and although a large number of soldiers had undergone infantry training, they had not gone through the battle formation, and the battlefield of artillery fire and gunpowder smoke was too terrifying for them.

This kind of close standing led to the fact that as long as the bullets fired by the Beiyang soldiers were of the right height, they could hit the target without aiming, and the casualties on both sides were not on a horizontal line. However, although the new army had poor combat skills, it did not lack courage, and its attacks never stopped, and it actually relied on flesh and blood to approach the huge artillery position inch by inch.

In addition, the battle was close to white-hot on two unnamed peaks not far from Tianbao Castle, where two infantry posts from the Fifth Town of Beiyang were stationed and two-pounder guns were set up to bombard the mountain. The troops under the mountain attacked the two posts with two battalions, hoping to take down the position and threaten the main peak of Tianbao Castle.

Relying on the advantage of a large number of people, the attackers kept bullets in their hands and swooped down on the hill.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, Zhao Gongbao is watching us at the main peak, and he will not sit idly by. Show your skills and let them know what it means to fight! (To be continued.) )
