Win? Win ()! The Fourth Town ̈ An elite fourth town in Beiyang! Defeated! Even the ruler Wang Yujia has become a prisoner? Fathers and fathers! Ahaha. In an instant, the entire Dazhimen fell into cheers, and thousands of soldiers who had already fought with no confidence and were ready to die rushed out of the bunkers, and the entire Dazhimen did not! The whole of Hankou seemed to be thrown hundreds of tons of shells at the same time, and there were exclamations and shouts everywhere, and Wang Zhuo and several other young people who had only joined the Wehrmacht at Wushengguan found the Flying Tiger Flag from there, excitedly pulled off their shirts, jumped and screamed and climbed to the heights, and waved the flag vigorously.

As the heralds began to flock everywhere, the news spread wildly, whether it was soldiers or recruited people, whether it was pawns or traders, they all hugged each other, and it didn't take much military vision to know that without the Fourth Town, Feng Huafu's main force would consider the fate of Xiaogan being cut off and unable to return home even if he could fight again! Now the Hunan Fourth Division is coming in a steady stream, and the two main divisions that won the big victory will be able to come back within two days! The morale that Hankow had disappeared was all restored in the blink of an eye! If Beiyang continues to fight, even if Hankou can be taken, it will be a total annihilation!

Huang Keqiang was stupid, Xuanye Changzhi didn't know how to deal with himself, and Song Jiaoren had both joy and deep worry on his face! The previous persuasion and worry set off their paleness, and at the moment when they gradually fell into despair, that person was born again! It not only saved Hankou, saved Hubei, but also saved the whole **!

Song Ziqing's whole person was relieved, and together with Zhang Wenjing, his fingers trembled slightly and lit a cigarette, Cai Jimin clenched his fists even more, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and he raised his pistol with one arm. "We, victorious!" shouted. ”

Roars burst forth from every chest, and when the news of the defeat of the Fourth Town spread outward from Hankou as if it were crazy, the county town of Hanyang on the other side of the river was also completely in a frenzy ().

The birthplace of the Wehrmacht has been crowded with people fleeing from Xiaogan, Hankou and other places, and the fierce artillery sound on the other side of the river makes everyone tremble with fear, and no one knows whether the scene of the Qing army's massacre of the city hundreds of years ago will be repeated.

Okurayama victory! Wang Yujia was captured, and tens of thousands of guns and ammunition were seized!

A tea boss watched in surprise as the young students who had spread the news went viral, and after a moment of sluggishness, they suddenly ran madly towards the wharf, and the men and young men who had already been stimulated by the artillery fire spread their feet, and the people on the wharf who had just escaped from Hankou stomped their feet, gritted their teeth and prepared to rush back! The old people wiped the corners of their eyes, the women clung to the children, and each of them turned their eyes to Hankou and to Jingshan farther away.

In the scarlet cross tents of the Yudaimen Field Hospital, the cups and kettles were clanged, and every bed made a sound, and the wounded who could get off the ground rushed out of the field hospital by themselves.

Facing the scene of bombing the camp, Miao Luo stood in the corner with his face covered, tears flowing from his fingers

At 3 p.m. on November 13, the last shell was fired from the millimeter naval guns of the Chuyu ship on the river. Later, everyone learned that this shell became the last shell of the two warring sides in Hubei in the Xinhai year, after a whole month of fierce fighting, paying the price of 15,000 dead and wounded, the dawn finally appeared on the horizon, with the Hunan National Defense Army Fourth Division arrived in Hanyang two days later, the Hubei war situation has completely turned to the national defense army.

The eyes of the whole of China are once again attracted by this thoroughfare of nine provinces!

In the afternoon in Hankou, I didn't feel a trace of warmth, and the sound of fierce explosions kept coming from the direction of Dazhimen, putting each heart into a hot pot and stir-frying vigorously, scared, worried, gritting teeth, worrying about my heart, the young people surrounded the conscription station in order to get a gun, and the woman held the child and secretly convulsed, watching the soldiers run to the battlefield with guns in their arms, and then be carried down by stretchers one after another.

The corpses were neatly placed on the bustling road in the past, and the old people who collected the corpses wiped their tears and tore open rolls of white cloth, and the simple wooden coffins were piled up like a mountain (). Depression, failure is like a mountain that overwhelms people.

This is the price of war, and it is the price of **!

A gunshot on 0 day, changed the land of China at the same time, but also brought deep suffering, when the south sounded a sound of independence, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River began to run for the new country, the birthplace of ** is still suffering from the war and slaughter.

From Dazhimen to Liujia Garden, from Xinsheng Road to the old town behind, dense sandbags, large and small bunkers, and dense bayonets extend to the riverside. The China Merchants Building, which was still very busy yesterday, has become a fortress, and the deer has blocked all the reasoning leading here, the cold barrel of the gun poking out from every crevice, and the bullets on the long canvas bullet belt flickering with cold light.

"Your Excellency, as the Minister of the Imperial Japanese Empire in Hankow, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that Han Yeping has a major interest in our country, and your army must immediately withdraw its military control over the Hanyang Iron Works and the Huangshi Iron Mine! We will reserve the right to resort to military means! In Zhang Wenjing's office, the Japanese minister Matsumura Sadao was arrogant, and next to him, Kijiro Saito, who was thin but wearing a Japanese army general's uniform, squinted at Wang Ba's small eyes, and his eyes were uncertain.

Outside the gate, Fan Liangshan and dozens of soldiers from the garrison battalion surrounded the Japanese regiment that sent them, and although everyone did not exchange guns, they obviously did not have a good feeling.

"**, these Japanese dwarfs are still thinking about the ironworks! That's ours! ”

"That's right! It must not be given to them, and the mining area, it is all our Chinese! A few guards eavesdropping outside the door whispered that since the establishment of the National Defense Force, there has never been a mention of the First Sino-Japanese War, the wolf ambitions of a small Oriental country, the South Manchuria, which has still been invaded, not to mention the iron sand that has been dug up from the Hanyeping Huangshi mining area at a near-zero price, which is a profit of tens of millions a year at the market price! If you buy weapons, you can make everyone in the Wehrmacht new from head to toe, and the artillery can fill the entire Three Towns, and you are afraid of the Beiyang of a ball!

Zhang Wenjing clenched his fists, the war has not been going well in the past few days, and Old Man Feng has killed Dazhimen in one go, seeing that Hankou is about to fall, his stomach is already full of anger (). There were not many people carrying sedan chairs, but there were many stones that fell into the well, first Lianghuai and Jiangxi seized the ships transporting materials, and also seized a lot of arms smuggled and bought! This hasn't been solved yet, these Japanese actually came to take advantage of the fire again early in the morning to rob, and they also military methods! Why didn't you come a few days ago when the Wehrmacht was in full swing? Want to pick up the bargain now? There are no doors! "Your Excellency, you have gone to the wrong door, this is the Ministry of Military Affairs and the headquarters of our National Defense Forces, as for your request, you should go to Wuchang instead of here." ”

"Sending off!" Zhang Wenjing was too lazy to take care of these little radish heads, he was still in a hurry to send the arms to the front line, so he simply waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to send off the guests, and the guards, who had long been impatient, immediately walked over, and put their hands on the pistols on their waists, intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that he was so inferior, Saito Jijiro was so angry that he grabbed the hilt of the knife and stepped forward: "Your Excellency, you are an insult to the Great Japanese Empire!" Han Yeping is one. ”

"It's a fart!" Zhang Wenjing was unceremoniously: "Han Yeping is our property in Hubei and the property of the people!" I can't decide where it belongs, so please do it! ”

"Yaga!"

Saito Jijiro was about to go crazy, just as Song Jiaoren and Huang Keqiang walked in, followed by a Japanese man who seemed to recognize Matsumura Sadao and immediately bent down when he saw him, muttering in Japanese.

Although Huang Keqiang is still wearing a military uniform, he has lost the spirit he had when he first came, and his influence in the Hubei army has been greatly reduced by successive failures, and even the small soldiers are unwilling to listen to this command at this moment, so he simply handed over the command of the army to Song Ziqing to concentrate on being the overseer, and he and Song Jiaoren have been waiting here for Yang Qiu's news, but they didn't expect to see this scene when they first came, and asked: "Minister Zhang, this is one." ”

Zhang Wenjing still had the heart to care about this mess, so he simply grabbed the documents on the table and put on his hat and said: "The two of you came just in time, I want to send the ammunition to the front line, so I will trouble the two of you to help me take Minister Songcun to Wuchang to recognize the door, this is the Ministry of Military Affairs, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" After finishing speaking, he immediately led the guards out, Song Jiaoren didn't expect him to say that he would leave, and his words were unceremoniously, and he asked: "Xuanye-kun, what the hell is going on?" ”

The Japanese man who saluted Matsumura Sadao was called Xuanno Nagaji, a good friend of Huang Keqiang, who received great help from the Alliance when it was active in Japan, and also helped buy a lot of arms and explosives, and has always been regarded as a "friend" of the Alliance. After asking about the situation, he told the intention of the two of them, which made Song Jiaoren and Huang Keqiang frown secretly, this is the most critical moment in Hubei, and it is really a bit of a mistake to do so, and said: "Your Excellency, the military management of the Hanyeping Steel Mill and the mining area is to ensure the best materials, and we will definitely lift it after the war is over." ”

Matsumura Sadao had heard of the two, and a month ago he might have been willing to support these **, but now the domestic wind has taken a major turn, and the base camp believes that the independence of the South has affected Japan's interests in China, and the foundation of China's republic is too poor. Of course, this is not the Japanese government's desire for China, but the desire for Asia's common prosperity. In addition, after the Russo-Japanese War, the yen depreciated seriously, more than half of the annual repayment of 90 million yuan was maintained by the interests in China and the Qing government's indemnity, and all the raw materials needed for the steel plant came from Han Yeping, so if the Qing government really fell, Japan was likely to have a huge fiscal deficit.

So he changed his face now and said coldly: "Both of them are friends of our Great Japanese Empire, so I hope you can clearly understand that the implementation of military control on Han Yeping will seriously damage the relationship between the two countries, and this military control order will be lifted immediately and unconditionally, and my country will also reserve the right to take further action!" ”

After Matsumura Sadao finished speaking, he took Saito Jijiro, who came to Wuchang to watch the battle in person, and left, Song Jiaoren and Huang Keqiang looked a little bad in the office, the alliance has an inexplicable relationship with Japan, and it is very important whether they can continue to get Japan's support, but now that their relationship with Yang Qiu has become like water and fire, wouldn't it be even worse to ask them to persuade them to lift the military control order at this moment? The two of them couldn't make up their minds, so they had to take Xuanye Nagaji to Dazhimen to find Zhang Wenjing and prepare to explore Yang Qiu and the army first.

When Zhang Wenjing took the baggage battalion to Dazhishan, the battle here was already extremely fierce, and the dense Beiyang soldiers launched an attack along the railway line under the cover of artillery and twelve Makqin machine guns, and the Wehrmacht machine guns of Dazhimen also launched a counterattack. The brilliant and terrifying streamers tore apart the soldiers on both sides, and the sound of machine gun fire was denser than that of a steamboat motor. One after another, 5 kilograms of shells per day fell around the station, and houses and buildings continued to collapse in the explosions, and many soldiers shrank their necks in fright, just numbly enduring the falling shells.

Due to the continuous defeat, the third division and the first division and the third brigade were basically disabled, and more than 6,000 people were lost in five days, and they had to temporarily retreat to the second line to rest and recuperate, so the basic recruits stationed in Dazhimen were pulled up later.

Seeing that the Beiyang soldiers were about to approach the station, Song Ziqing immediately asked the soldiers to send the 800 grenades sent by Zhang Wenjing to the front line, and the failure and retreat in the past few days have caused serious losses to the artillery, and the most elite artillery regiment simply only has one battalion of 75 mm Krupp mountain guns left, and most of the more than a dozen heavy machine guns are also damaged and unusable.

"This is the entire production of Hanyang yesterday, and now if I make one, I will give one, if only." Zhang Wenjing didn't continue, but the officers knew what he meant, Deng Yulin and Jiang Zhaojian all had red eyes and clenched their fists, the former simply grabbed a rifle and shouted to the guards: "Go, get all the officers and miscellaneous officers up, as long as you can hold a gun, give me up!" ”

At this time, Huang and Song also rushed here, seeing Deng Yulin leading the officers to prepare for the front line, Huang Keqiang said anxiously: "Chief of Staff Song, if you really can't do it, simply withdraw to Hanyang and stick to it with the geographical advantage of Guishan." ”

"No way!" Cheng Bingrong, the commander of the Third Brigade, raised his neck to finish the liquor in the flat wine jug in one gulp, pulled out his pistol and scolded with a star: "Hankou is the Hanyang barrier!" Without Hankou, how can Hanyang be defended? Without Hankou Hanyang, Wuchangyan can finish his eggs?! Whoever instigates himself to get out! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, does Beiyang have three eyes?! ”

His words made Huang Keqiang very embarrassed, Li Shucheng and others did not dare to speak rashly for him at this moment, for fear of angering these Hubei officers who had already beaten red eyes, only Xuanye Changzhi, who had just arrived, could not figure out the situation, he who thought he understood Chinese and said: "Save strength, now we should preserve strength, the lower reaches of the Yangzi River are gathering troops, we should immediately retreat and rely on the Han River for defense." ”

"Fuck you troops! Where did Little Japan come from? Uncle's turn to get you an outsider to interject? This is Command! Not a fucking Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Gather troops? I have to ask, what about the troops of Li Junlie's kid in Jiangxi? What about the reinforcements of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai coalition forces? Didn't you swear a few days ago that the whole country would come to help? What about people! If Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai don't count, what about Jiangxi? Jiujiang is only a few hundred miles here, and the sailor said that he didn't care, and he climbed over in five days! It's not yet, when we're all fools?! Forget it if the people didn't come, they withheld thousands of guns and explosives that Commander Yang bought from foreigners! What is this? Don't think that we don't know that little bit of thought, don't we just want to watch us die in Hubei! "Cheng Bingrong has a hot temper and loves to drink, I don't know how many times he was punished for drinking and mistaking things in Bazhen before, but he is a good hand at fighting, especially the lifeless temperament, he is simply desperate San Lang, if he hadn't led the three brigades to resist the pursuit of the two associations in Beiyang, it would be difficult to say whether everyone could come back alive, and his scolding was a fact. At the beginning, as soon as Huang Keqiang came, he telegraphed the whole country and said that he would jointly protect Wuchang, but now in addition to the first association from Hunan, if Yang Qiu hadn't decisively taken Changsha to form the Fourth Division, and was starting to come one regiment after another, I am afraid that there would not even be a hair. However, in the past few days, the seizure of Hubei ships by Lianghuai and Jiangxi and the smuggling of arms by the Ministry of Military Affairs have been poked out by the newspapers one after another, and the discerning people saw that they were trying to support Huang Keqiang, so they all shut their mouths when they heard him scolding, and let him vent

Song Jiaoren's face was not good when he heard these words, and Rui Yao told him about Jiangxi and Lianghuai that day, but these are all downstream comrades who heard that Yang Qiu excluded Huang Keqiang and made his own opinions, and he really couldn't blame them, but he didn't dare to say more in the face of the national defense army that was already red-eyed.

Song Ziqing knew that Zhang Wenjing secretly sent someone to publicize the seizure of the ship, and he was afraid that the lot would be too stiff, so he pulled Cheng Bingrong to stop him, but the latter was obviously drunk, and he shook his arm and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to listen to these anymore, follow me with the handle below!" If you think about Dazhimen, step on your grandfather first! ”

After Cheng Bingrong finished speaking, he pulled out his gun and ran out, Deng Yulin and the others also took the headquarters guards to prepare to go up, but as soon as they walked out of the bunker, there was a burst of cheers in front, and they rushed outside to find that Beiyang, which was still attacking just now, suddenly began to retreat, and sharp retreat posts came and went, and before everyone understood what was going on, they hula and withdrew from Dazhimen in the blink of an eye like a tide! No, he didn't even stop outside the door, but ran all the way in the direction of Liujiamiao.

"What's the hurry?"

"Win! Win! Commander wins! When everyone looked at each other, they saw Fan Liangshan stumbling and running wildly, falling down and getting up, his arm was cut and he didn't pay attention to it, because he had forgotten everything, and shouted unwillingly while running: "Xiaocang Mountain, more than 8,000 enemies were annihilated, Wang Yujia was captured, and countless heavy guns and bullets were captured!" The fourth town of Beiyang one. We've crippled you! ”
