This trip out, Wang Tianzong opened his eyes. In the past, I could spend a good time buying some German-made self-made products, but now when I look at the secret service, I feel that I am no different from a beggar.

Only two platoons of troops came out of the special mission this time, Leng Yu personally led a platoon, and Wang Tianzong set off with a few of his subordinates. The group first dressed up as tea vendors and drove the cart on the road. Henan bandits are strict, and it is common for traders to set off in teams, but the road cards set by the government are not good. Through the means of bribery, after mixing a few roadblocks, I found a secluded place to camp and take out the equipment.

The strength of this platoon does not look like there are many people, and it is dizzying after being fully equipped. One demolition squad, two combat squads, and a blocking squad. In addition to explosive equipment, the demolition squad also carried a pistol. The combat squad is the battle of the Jinghan Line in Chapter 73 (13) of the northern front, and wears a pistol. There are six sniper squads, each armed with a sniper rifle. It's a pity that the current radio station is too heavy, otherwise the cold rain can bring it.

Taking advantage of the twilight, the cold rain led the team quietly on the road, with local bandits leading the way, it can be said that the wind touched the edge of the Jinghan line all the way. At about five o'clock in the morning, when the blasting squad was working, Leng Yu called Wang Tianzong to his side and said: "Brother Xujiu, please arrange a hiding place during the day, this is behind the enemy after all, and it is difficult to move during the day." There's still time, just find a closer place to hide. ”

It's dark under the lights! Wang Tianzong somewhat understood why Leng Yu wanted to bring them with him. It's not about their combat effectiveness, it's about being familiar. At this time, a soldier came over and said, "Tuanza." The telegraph line has been destroyed. ”

Wang Tianzong hurriedly called two local bandits, and after giving an explanation, he came back and said to Leng Yu: "There is a cave near here, which is very hidden, and it will take at most an hour to walk there." ”

"Okay, let's go there." After Leng Yu expressed his approval, he turned around and made a gesture, and everyone lay down. Wang Tianzong also lay down. There was a loud bang, and the railroad more than a hundred meters away in the pre-dawn darkness was lit.

Tata Tower Chapter 73 The Battle of the Jinghan Line (13) The northern front was fought, and the pointer was mechanically circling in circles. Jiang Fangzhen looked down at his watch again. This watch was given by Fang Jianxiong when he left Germany, and Jiang Fangzhen always carried it, compared to the popular pocket watches. It's a bit weird, but it's really convenient. Jiang Fangzhen noticed that in the Anhui Revolutionary Army, officers above the company level had a watch, which was said to be the result of forced purchase. As long as he is a company commander, he will deduct the watch money from the military salary every month, and the watch is provided by the logistics department.

This Fang Fuguo looks like a profiteer no matter how you look at it. Three hundred oceans for a watch, this price is really black enough. It is said that each watch will have to be paid in two years, and some interest will have to be paid. Call it by fine-sounding name of. Instalment!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fangzhen's tense heart relaxed slightly, and he even smiled. Looking at the other people in the war room, the young staff officers all looked nervous, and many of them were still continuing to deduce.

This staff team. All young people, Jiang Fangzhen himself is a very young chief of the General Staff. Li Xiaochuan went directly to the front line to supervise the battle, and at this time Jiang Fangzhen deeply felt the urgency of the Anhui Army to establish a military university. As soon as you can't wait for this battle to be over.

"It's time!" A staff officer probably kept staring at the alarm clock, and shouted nervously, very loudly. He blushed after shouting. Jiang Fangzhen smiled at him, his heart was under a lot of pressure. Picking up the phone, the bubbles on his lips hurt when he opened his mouth to speak. Jiang Fangzhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Begin!" ”

At six o'clock in the morning on December 20, 1911, before dawn broke, the banks of the Joux were still bathed in the dim morning light.

Cheng Zhixuan, who hadn't slept all night, had been constantly looking at her watch, and the moment the phone rang, she raised her hand and grabbed the phone, and when she heard the voice of the chief of the general staff, Cheng Zhixuan seemed to release all the accumulated pressure, and shouted at the waiting staff officer: "Start!" ”

Dozens of heavy artillery pieces of the two heavy artillery brigades erupted into roars almost at the same time, and from a distance, a neat row of flames was spraying. The tranquil earth vibrates violently at this moment! The birds in the forest were frightened countless times!

The hour-long artillery bombardment seemed to melt the Beiyang Army's position, and despite a lot of ideological preparations, the Anhui Revolutionary Army's concentrated artillery bombardment of the 500-meter section of the position still greatly exceeded Wang Zhanyuan's expectations. Under the cover of heavy artillery fire, the sappers methodically began to build bridges, and overhead were constantly whistling shells.

At the same time as the bridge was being built, some soldiers rushed to the river with wooden boats, boarded the boats quickly, and everyone rowed forward vigorously. Li Yifeng put on one of them, and as the commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, he appeared in the first batch of teams to cross the river. The artillery of the Beiyang Army did not react too slowly, and the Krupp 75 retreat gun was under the strong order, regardless of the possible counterattack, desperately firing to suppress the Anhui army that was crossing the river.

A cannonball landed ten meters away, overturning a wooden boat that was crossing the river, and after the soldiers on board fell into the water, they continued to swim to the opposite shore with the boat next to them. In the icy and biting water, some of the soldiers who fell into the water gradually couldn't support it, and the brothers on the boat hurriedly pulled them onto the boat.

Li Yifeng has been sitting firmly on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope to constantly observe the Beiyang Army positions on the opposite bank. The Beiyang Army was no longer active in the positions on the shore, and the 75 guns of the two regiments focused on this section.

The hot air balloon that rose into the air in advance finally caught the artillery coordinates of the Beiyang Army, and after the rapid flag transmission message, the 105 Artillery Brigade suppressed it. The wooden boat finally arrived on the opposite shore, Li Yifeng was the first to jump off the boat, and a cannonball fell more than ten meters away. At the place of the explosion, two soldiers fell to the ground, Li Yifeng didn't care so much, quickly stood up and rushed forward under a dirt bag, and soon more than a dozen soldiers gathered behind him.

"You take two machine guns and go to that little dirt bag. What are you still doing, hurry up and set up the mortar. Seeing the soldiers behind him at a loss, Li Yifeng was a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down, and after some command, the first batch of boats to cross the river carried over a battalion basically went ashore. At this moment, the pontoon bridge is only erected in the middle of the river, and whether it can withstand the first wave of counterattack of the Beiyang Army depends on this one battalion.

Li Yifeng can actually cross the river without the first batch, but he is really not at ease. The Eighth Brigade is not the kind of façade unit of the First Brigade that draws veterans from all over the place, and no one from the brigade commander to the petty soldiers has fought a battle. If he wants to cross the river, he is really worried that the troops will not be able to support under the counterattack of the Beiyang Army.

Just look at the appearance of these soldiers after crossing the river, one by one, they know that they lie on the ground and pretend to be ostriches. The sapper shovels of the Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau shone brightly at this time, and the soldiers began to dig bunkers desperately according to the requirements of the training. Time was of the essence, and as soon as the suppressed shelling stopped, the Beiyang Army was likely to launch a counterattack.

Li Yifeng bent his waist and ran around with the guards, encouraging the soldiers not to panic. The other side began to pull back the ropes tied to the boat, and the second group of troops came over, at least half an hour later, and the pontoon bridge was erected, and it would take at least another hour. During this period, it depends on the troops who crossed the river in advance.

Wu Xiangjiao felt that he was really unlucky, and he jumped up as soon as the cannon sounded, and Anhui Green Skin actually concentrated artillery to bombard a section of the 39 Mixed Cooperative Defense. It's all large-caliber artillery, Wu Xiangjiao thought that the brothers who had just come over yesterday were still sleeping in the trenches, and he felt that something big was going to happen this time.

Yuan Shikai sent reinforcements to Duan Qirui, and transferred Wu Xiangjiao's 39 mixed associations from the twentieth town of Fengtian to the south. Removed a co-ordinator from the second town and made a general reserve.

Wu Xiangjiao was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he didn't dare to go back, and the official level crushed people to death. It's just that I didn't expect that with such good luck, Anhui Green Skin actually came to his own defense line.

Wu Xiangframe's headquarters is in the courtyard of a landlord's house, the landlord's family has already run away, Wu Xiangframe's attempt to find a girl to accompany him has not succeeded, and there are only some old men and old ladies left in this village.

After hurriedly dressing up, he rushed into the courtyard, and several subordinates appeared in disheveled clothes. Wu Xiangjiao was annoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly explained a few words such as strictly guarding the position, and sent these officers down. Then immediately sent someone to send a letter to Wang Zhanyuan to ask for reinforcements, looking at the density and power of this artillery fire, I am afraid that there will not be a few people left in a battalion placed in the front-line position.

The old shed is now a platoon commander, a product of the expansion of the Anhui army. After becoming a member of the Anhui Army, Lao Drunk has changed a lot, and he is no longer drunk every day. In fact, Lao Drunk is only thirty years old, and his life suddenly has a head, and this old drunk has motivation.

As the first batch of troops to cross the river, Lao Zui's platoon had good luck and did not lose a single person. It's just that a recruit's leg is sprained, and he jumps too quickly when he gets off the boat.

As a veteran, Lao Zui knew very well that what he was about to face was the counterattack of the Beiyang Army. After going ashore, he immediately gathered his brothers together, took the initiative to find a lot that looked like a good view, and asked the brothers to dig trenches.

"Everyone saw it, and the brigade commander also crossed the river. Is your life worth or is the brigadier's life worth it? Don't be afraid, the Beiyang Army called the First Brigade to defeat in Hanyang, everyone will fight hard later, and after winning the battle, they will take the reward money and go back to marry a big girl as a daughter-in-law. While supervising the work of the brothers, Lao Drunk talked some meat words to tell the brothers not to be so nervous.

In fact, Lao Zui was also quite nervous, when he fought with the Oriental Little Nose, he had seen the larger caliber shelling on the battleship, but compared to this time, Lao Zui felt much more nervous than back then. I was a small soldier back then, so what about dozens of brothers under my command?

Watching the brothers hurry up to repair the trenches, Lao Drunk subconsciously touched a sachet in his arms. A little sister in Anqing City made the paper herself, so that the old drunk hid it closely. This little sister paper is a stall on the side of the barracks to buy peanuts, melon seeds, cigarettes, liquor or something, do a little business, old drunk and patronize, one night while the wine is strong to hug her, and then go to her bed, the sister paper did not resist, the old drunk saw red.

"After this battle, if I don't die, I will definitely marry you when I come back!" On the night of parting, the vows echoed in my mind!!
