Chapter 140: The Siege (3) Sun Chuanfang's Bitter Battle (1)

Bai Lang in this time and space is more powerful than the one in history, and there are even four French-made Schneider guns of 37 caliber. It's just that there are a few fewer shells, and all of them add up to less than two bases.

With these four cannons, the white wolf's confidence is very strong. Holding a telescope, he said to a group of people: "The spy reported an infantry battalion of the Beiyang Army, so I wondered, how could it be the Beiyang Army?" ”

"This is not difficult to understand, it should be pulled up as cannon fodder. However, looking at the equipment, this is the elite of the Beiyang Army, and it should be Wang Zhanyuan's second division. These Beiyang soldiers, after changing the owner, have a more nourishing life. "It was Staff Officer Shen who spoke, and this one came from Nanjing to help Bai Lang. Staff Officer Shen tried to contact Nanjing several times, but in the end, he could not get in touch with the siege of the city in Chapter 140 (3) Sun Chuanfang's bitter battle (1). Many counties in the mountainous areas of Henan do not have telegraph lines, but Wuyang has telegraphed, but the lines have been destroyed by bandits, but they don't want to ventilate the news, Bai Lang wants to eat the elite battalion of the Beiyang Army, thinking of those Japanese weapons, Bai Lang's eyes are hot.

"Let's talk about how to fight!" Bai Lang raised the topic, and these people under him were very distinct, the closest ones were the pole leaders, and the ones who stood farther away were the local armed forces in Henan who returned to the bandit industry. In terms of troops, the pole team does have more people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, these local troops are still much stronger.

"What else is there to discuss, according to the old method, besiege on all sides, we have a lot of people, and the big fart Wuyang can be taken in one morning." It was the old man Song who spoke, the bandit business has been booming recently, and they have been beating the town one after another, and today it is considered to be another Wuyang, and it should be able to make a small fortune again.

Bai Lang first looked at his military advisor Lu Wen, this one was also a small fan, wearing a robe. The thin body squinted at the county seat of Wuyang in front of him, and said for a long time: "I think it's better not to fight in this county seat of Wuyang." ”

"When did Mr. Lu become so bold, just one battalion, Chapter 140 Siege (3) Sun Chuanfang's hard battle (1) Full of six hundred people, we have more than 10,000 people, and heaps are piled up to kill him." The one who took over was the bandit leader Song Lao, who was considered an old bandit. One of the old men who followed Bai Lang to do things at the beginning.

"How did you talk to Mr. Lu?" Bai Lang glared unhappily. Old Man Song smiled hesitantly and bowed his hand to Lu Wen: "I'm sorry Mr. Lu, my brother is a rough man and he doesn't like to speak." Bai Lang has always respected Lu Wen, and his ideas are rarely not adopted.

In fact, this eastward expansion is also what Lu Wen meant. Unexpectedly, he changed his mind temporarily, which made Bai Lang very strange.

"It's okay, Brother Song has no malice. If the sneak attack on Wuyang succeeds. Lu would not object to playing Wuyang. But this sneak attack missed, and seven or eight brothers were broken. What does this mean? It shows that the official army has already taken precautions, and this Wuyang county town has been broken by us before. can still defend the sneak attack, which shows that the officers with troops in this county town are not simple. Our army looks like there are a lot of people, but in fact there are only a few thousand people who have received regular military training, and the equipment is not very good. If it is the elite of the Beiyang Army on the other side, the equipment will definitely be the best. Now they are on guard. Backed by the Jinghan Railway, soldiers from Xinyang, Xuchang, and Zhengzhou can be easily reinforced at any time. ”

Lu Wen shook the fan in his hand and shook his head for analysis, it should be said that this analysis is very accurate.

The problem is that at present, a team of more than 10,000 bandits is gathered here, and the strategy of eastward expansion was also set earlier, and before the war, the Bai Lang army first went west, conquered Lu County, and put on a posture of going to Tongguan. Then he quietly turned around and rushed to Wuyang County.

The team came to Wuyang after a lot of tossing, and it can be said that people are sleepy and tired, and they urgently need a place to rest and replenish. Now that he turned around and went west, Bai Lang was worried that he would not be able to convince the public. When he was hesitating, Staff Officer Shen spoke: "In Shen's opinion, Wuyang still has to fight a dozen, otherwise there is no way to explain to the brothers, everyone has gone around in such a big circle, isn't it just to cross the Jinghan line?" Just give up for the sake of a county town guarded by hundreds of people, can you figure it out in your hearts? Moreover, this county seat of Wuyang has been broken before. Commander Bai, morale can be boosted, thousands of miles around, isn't it just for this final blow? How can you give up halfway? ”

Bai Lang looked at Lu Wen again, but this one stopped talking, and the fan stopped shaking. Staff Shen's analysis is also reasonable, but Lu Wen has never argued with Staff Officer Shen in front of everyone.

"Then let's fight, let the brothers prepare to go to the city, and after a full meal, they will play Wuyang." Bai Lang was decisive at this time, but this person dragged mud and water at some times, and stayed in Zaoyang, Hubei for too long in history, and fought with officers and soldiers for ten days.

Fang Jianxiong came out of the theater, and the plainclothes guards around him quickly leaned over, forming a protective circle that could not be seen. There is also a Li Hao by his side, with this buddy by his side, more than a dozen people can't get close.

Hurriedly returned to the barracks in Nanyuan, and the telegrams from Zhengzhou and Xinyang also arrived. An Yidian said: A Henan local division has been sent south to Luohe to reinforce Liu Bin. Jensen telegraphed that he would send an elite regiment to the north and send an armored train to patrol the section.

Guarding the Jinghan line, it is indeed very convenient for the troops to be mobilized, Fang Jianxiong is worried about whether Wuyang can hold it, after all, there is a battalion of troops there, if it is folded there, it is still very distressing. That is the elite of the Beiyang Army who has been trained for many years, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they can be used as the main force with a little reorganization. Commanders know that the most valuable thing in the army is these veterans. If there are three or five thousand veterans, if there is enough money, food, and equipment, he can bring out ten times the number of troops in a year's work.

Soon Liu Bin's telegram also arrived, Fang Jianxiong handed it to Jiang Fangzhen after reading it, and said with a pleased smile: "Liu Bin is good, and he is very steady in using soldiers." I am also going to telegraph to him, don't take reinforcements lightly, and must concentrate enough forces to guard against the enemy's reinforcements. ”

Jiang Fangzhen smiled after reading the telegram: "This is not the student you brought out?" There are few weak ones who come out of the first phase of the teaching office. If you want me to say, in the future, this Lu University and Fuguo, the principal, will have to teach more classes to students. ”

The students in the first phase of the teaching team were all brought out by Fang Jianxiong himself, and their feelings were naturally different. At the beginning in Wuhu, we worked together and took the lead, which student was not taught by hand? It's a pity that in the first battle of Jinan, one death and one injury, Fang Jianxiong felt distressed for a long time.

"When will Shandong's troops arrive in Xuchang? Does Runnong have a clear answer? ”

"It's been three days since we set off, and it will take two days to get there. To help the country, we must connect Jinpu Road and Jinghan Road. ”

"Well, the section from Kaifeng to Luoyang has been open to traffic for almost two years, and there has been no news from other sections.

Fang Jianxiong wants to build too many railways, and he can't take care of it for a while. When the election is over and Sun Baoqi becomes president, Fang Jianxiong will begin his ten-year railway plan.

Anyone who has studied outside knows how terrible the Spring Festival train is. Fang Jianxiong didn't want to miss the golden period of development for decades, that would really be a national sinner.

As soon as the bandits were full of wine and food, the sun came out. Four artillery pieces were pushed out, and the formation began at a distance of about 2,500 meters. The bandits will not serve the artillery, and the operators of these cannons are the original local troops of Henan.

Sun Chuanfang became nervous when he saw that the bandits had artillery, and hurriedly ordered the troops to pay attention to concealment. At the same time, let people prepare sandbags and block half of the city gate first. Knock knock, the accuracy of the bandits' shelling was a little less interesting, and more than a dozen shots were fired, but not a single shell hit the city gate, not even on the city tower. Either flew into the city or hit the outer walls of the city walls. This phenomenon made Sun Chuanfang feel a lot more relieved.

"The brothers have seen it, bandits are bandits, and it is not good to use artillery, everyone has relaxed their hearts, and the reinforcements will definitely arrive before dark." Sun Chuanfang opened his throat and shouted, and the morale of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army improved. When he was shouting, he saw several instructors also come up, walking among the soldiers, constantly cheering up the brothers.

Those who are officials are not afraid, and the lives of soldiers are cheap, what is there to fear? Such a sentiment soon spread throughout the army.

Looking at the huge bandit shelling, the actual effect was very bad, and five minutes before and after, the shelling stopped, and the bandits' team moved, and slowly began to press forward. At this time, a green signal flag was raised in the east of the city, which meant that the bandits were beginning to approach.

Without waiting for Sun Chuanfang to find Tong Nianhua, he had already taken the initiative to run over and say, "Xinyuan, you go to the west of the city to keep an eye on, and leave it to me here." ”

Sun Chuanfang was surprised: "The east of the city is the main direction of attack of the bandits, so I naturally sit here." ”

Tong Nianhua said with a smile: "Xinyuan, don't get me wrong, I saw that the mortar of the machine gun battalion was not, you didn't command that thing." ”

Sun Chuanfang smiled: "What's so difficult about this, isn't it just a matter of distance?" Tong Nianhua thought about it, he was too nervous, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the east gate." ”

The bandits' attack formations appear disorganized, and no matter how you look at them, they will produce a little contempt. However, Sun Chuanfang didn't dare to be careless, walked around with a war knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, cheer up, aren't they ten thousand bandits?" Looking at their attack formation, it's a group of rookies. Relying on most of the wars, our machine guns are not vegetarian. ”

If you want to say that you are not nervous, it is all nonsense, and when you see that this first wave of attacks is thousands of people, you must feel a little empty. But these are all elite veterans, and they quickly adjusted their mentality, either you die or I live on the battlefield, everyone understands this truth.

The elite is the elite, the first charge after the bandits launched an attack, the arrow has approached the city wall for five hundred meters, and not a single shot has been issued, all waiting for orders. Sun Chuanfang's calculation in his heart was very clear, put it into two hundred meters and then fight, anyway, there is a city wall. rq！！！
