Chapter 452: Wu Changqing's sadness

The four battalion heads, after deducting some of the remaining troops, Huang Shilin held 2,000 soldiers in his palm. In his opinion, what he was dealing with was just a bunch of mud-legged people, a bunch of rabble. No matter how many people there are, it's not worth mentioning! He raised 2,000 troops to kill him, and it was not a boiling soup and snow, and it was easy to wipe out!

As a result, they crashed headlong into the iron wall of the Chuansha militia in Zhoupu Town.

In the whole morning, Huang Shilin launched three attacks, all of which were repulsed by the Chuansha militia. Two or three hundred casualties! In the afternoon, the Chuansha militia was no longer on the other side, and it was replaced by a standard regular Qin army.

Huang Shilin repelled the two attacks of the Qin army with great difficulty, but he was exhausted, and the loss of soldiers reached half of Cheng DΓΉ. But the reinforcements behind have not yet arrived, Wu Zhaoyou and Zhang Guangqian, the two guys are still more than an hour away from Zhoupu Town. Huang Shilin had no choice but to resign himself to fate.

In any case, I can't keep it.,I'm also considered to be - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - the most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - loyal to the country.,Serve the Lord of the Middle Hall.。

But Huang Shilin was a little unwilling to think about it, he was only forty years old, and he hadn't lived enough. Thinking of Huang Shilin's heart, he fluttered and jumped out. He knew what it meant.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Soon, the Qin army's artillery fire turned on the plough again. A continuous loud noise was set off on the Qing army's position.

Huang Shilin led the troops to flee looking at the Huangpu River.

In just one day, the battle situation in Shanghai has changed dramatically. The area east of the Huangpu River was all captured by the Qin army.

Two days later, the Wusongxi Fort was reduced to a pile of ruins, and a number of Qin warships with bullet marks and gunpowder smoke entered along the Huangpu River. The main force of the other Qin fleet covered the landing of marines at Baoshan. took Jiading lightly. Pressed down by the army of Shanghai North Road.

Wu Changqing slammed his fist on the chest wall in front of him, and his eyes were full of tears at this time. Who said that men don't flick when they have tears? That's because it hasn't reached the sad place yet.

Wu Changqing is about to cry bitterly now. The strength of his thirteen battalions was in Chuansha and Jiading. More than half of the two wars were lost. Wu Changqing was distressed, he was very sad.

Jumping out of the position, riding a fast horse, Wu Changqing ran to Shanghai.

When Wu Changqing rushed in despite the soldiers' obstruction, Ding Richang was thinking silently in the palace. Ding Richang waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and then looked at Wu Changqing, whose eyes were red and his face was smoky.

Wu Changqing was very excited, and said to Ding Richang: "Yu Gong [Ding Richang's character Yusheng, also known as Yusheng], give me an extra battalion of men, the artillery fire of the Qin army is too fierce." The brothers couldn't bear it in Nanxiang. ”

Ding Richang looked at Wu Changqing coldly: "A battalion of people? Not even a team. ”

"Then Duke Yu, you should withdraw quickly, the Qin army may attack Shanghai County at any time." Wu Changqing said anxiously.

"Where to retreat, Shanghai is so big, where do you let the old man retreat? The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is in Gaochangmiao Town, and Li Zhongtang's lifeblood is in Gaochangmiao Town, where do you let the old man go? If you can't stand it, I can replace you, you are not the only one who can be the governor of Jiangnan. ”

Wu Changqing looked at Ding Richang's eyes and could burst into flames, turned around with a 'snap', and finally glanced at Ding Richang angrily. Slammed the door and left.

Where is there no soldiers in Shanghai? He, Ding Richang, held more than 2,000 training troops in his palm. There are also three battalion leaders of Wu Yuren, as well as three battalion leaders under Kong Zhaoyou and Kong Zhaozuo brothers, and there are 6,000 soldiers in Shanghai County.

But if Ding Richang doesn't give it, can Wu Changqing still rob it?

Ding Richang looked up at the map of Shanghai on the wall. There was no expression on his face, but his gaze was more distant.

……

Outside Kunshan, a team of more than 2,000 people was marching rapidly.

"Quick! Fast! Keep up! Keep up! ”

Jiao Wenbin stood on a gentle slope on the side of the dirt road. He shouted at the exhausted soldiers, and kept raising his hand. Wipe the sweat from your face and neck.

It's already October. Although Shanghai is not cold, it still has to wear winter clothes. But a rapid march of dozens of miles away. Jiao Wenbin felt that his whole body was hot and dry. Now that he is lying on the ice and snow, it will only be the ice and snow melting, not his Jiao Wenbin's body stiffening.

This is the southeast area of Kunshan in the west of Shanghai, which has passed Lujiabang and is very close to Baihe Port. The main force of this attack was the soldiers of the Marine Brigade, and the soldiers of an entire battalion, after deducting the logistics personnel, were all pulled up.

Their aim was to cross the Wusong River from the Baihegang River and enter Qingpu, the flank and rear of Shanghai County. Capture Zhuqu Town and Sijing Town, and block the retreat of the Huai Army in Shanghai.

Liu Xian, who drove the expedition in person, was not prepared to delay too long in Shanghai, and the army was divided into two routes, one way in Chuansha and one in Baoshan, and after beating Wu Changqing hard, the Baoshan part divided another army to intersperse the rear of Shanghai County. It was to prepare for the total annihilation of the Huai Army in Shanghai, and also to crush the Huai Army in Shanghai with an unstoppable momentum and make them surrender obediently. Don't go to the trouble of sabotaging the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau!

After a long and rapid march, Jiao Wenbin, who personally led the team, knew that thirty or forty soldiers had fallen behind, but even so, the troops could not stop advancing. Now it is a race for time, and Liu Xian's order to him is very clear, that is, 'advance, advance, and advance again', until he encounters the enemy.

Therefore, Jiao Wenbin could only run forward with his troops. In order to ensure the marching degree of the troops, Jiao Wenbin even ordered the officers and soldiers to empty their bags as much as possible, and even the military blankets and quilts were left at the rear advance base in order to carry as much ammunition as possible. The guide is a spy from Shanghai Station, and the road will never be wrong.

Jiao Wenbin was in Shanghai for the first time, and it is not clear where he is standing now, although he has a military map in his hand. However, it is easy to match the map with the land under your feet, but it is difficult to connect people with the land under your feet.

What Kunshan, Qingpu, Jiao Wenbin only recognizes the mission goal.

Standing on the gentle slope, Jiao Wenbin and Gao Jianyuan, the commander of the 3rd Marine Battalion, studied the map. Gao Jianyuan is a bit of a stunned young man, with an upright personality, when the Marine Brigade was still a Marine Brigade, he was the squadron leader, and he often made Jiao Wenbin unable to step down. But this person's military qualities are indeed very good, he accepts new things quickly and masters them quickly, so it can be said that the ability to work on this map is so much higher than Jiao Wenbin's level. Pointing to the map, he quickly calculated the actual distance, and Wu Songjiang, who was only a few dozen meters wide, was also accurately estimated by him to swim across the time, so he confidently guaranteed that he would be able to reach Tianma Mountain before dark.

Tianma Mountain is called Tianma Mountain because of the stacking of boulders at the peak, steep and upright, like a galloping horse in the clouds. The altitude is very low, less than 300 meters, but you can't hold the mountains around Shanghai, so it is very famous in Shanghai Road. In later generations, it was built into a scenic area.

It is less than 50 miles from here to the county seat of Shanghai, and it can be said that as long as the Marine Battalion moves here on time, the great detour will be completed. Unless Ding Richang gave up his troops, the retreat of the Huai army would not be able to avoid the interception of the marine battalion!

Jiao Wenbin put away the map and asked a clerk standing beside him to count the number of people, and learned that five more soldiers had fallen behind, but now he really didn't have time to wait for the stragglers to follow, he had to rush to the Wusong River to cross the river as much as possible, and cross the river as a premise. To complete the mission, crossing the river is a node. Wu Songjiang passed, even if the Huai army reacted and sent troops to intercept it, Jiao Wenbin still had the confidence to hit Tianma Mountain. Those who have fallen behind have their own follow-up troops to gather.

"Brethren! Work hard, there is Wusongjiang ahead! After we cross the river, let's have a good rest! ”

While cheering up the soldiers, Jiao Wenbin took the rifle and his backpack full of ammunition and dry food from a panting soldier.

Although it was a show, it was indeed very motivating to the soldiers.

There is only one thought in the minds of all people. That's forward, forward! Be sure to cross the Wusong River as much as possible, rush to Tianma Mountain before dark, and set up a blocking position there, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

But Jiao Wenbin was a step slower after all. Wu Songjiang had a very smooth life, and the marines used sleeping bags made of sheepskin as the base, and easily crossed the river from top to bottom, and there were many mortars, heavy machine guns, and so on. But when he led the team to the foot of Tianma Mountain at half past five in the afternoon, the top soldier at the forefront of the team brought a piece of news that made Jiao Wenbin a little depressed. A Qing army has rushed to Tianma Mountain first, occupied a village at the foot of Tianma Mountain, and is building a position!

Jiao Wenbin followed the sharp soldiers to the vicinity of the village, lurked on the mountain, and reconnoitred with a telescope, and roughly estimated that the Qing army in Zhuangnei was about 500 people. There are not many people, but they are relatively well equipped. Jiao Wenbin saw at least two machine guns and two 54mm breech guns in his telescope. However, the position has not yet been established, and it seems that this Qing army has just arrived, and some of the people who have been driven away from Zhuang by the Qing army are still wandering by the small river not far away.

Now there is only one choice in front of Jiao Wenbin: to attack decisively, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qing army, take this village in one go, and completely annihilate or defeat the Qing army.

Under Jiao Wenbin's order, some officers and soldiers quietly touched the ridge of Tianma Mountain and looked down on the village condescendingly. Eight 120 mortars and 16 60 mortars set up a mortar position directly on the ridge.

The dense jungle of Tianma Mountain did not cause any trouble for the Marine battalion artillery in the slightest.

Twenty-four mortars began to adjust their angles and directions, and the commander squatted behind a bush on the ridge, carefully calculated and shot Zhu Yuan, preparing to finish off the four heavy firepower of the Qing army at the moment of the battle, and then sweep the Qing army's offensive and densely populated places in Zhuangli.

Only twenty minutes later, the battle preparations were ready, and a large group of infantry also bypassed Tianma Mountain, entered the dense forest from the side, and slowly touched the bottom of the mountain.

The Qing army was negligent and didn't even put a few sentinels in Tianma Mountain, and they couldn't complain about others if they suffered losses today.

As soon as QiΔ“ was ready to take position, he waited for the trumpet to sound. (To be continued......) R1292
