Yang Qiu was already very satisfied with getting 10,000 Hanyang-made and 150 rounds of ammunition, and he was not worried about how Ju Zheng passed the "Regulations on the Organization of the Hubei Military Government of the Republic of China" when Sun Wu participated in politics in advance.

Whether it is Ju Zheng or Tang Hualong, they are both shrewd and capable people, so they will definitely not rush Li Yuanhong to step down and let Sun Wu take the throne at this time, and they will not risk civil strife to deal with themselves when the army is pressing, not to mention that they still have the confession they provided, as long as they hold Zhang Zhenwu down, Sun Wu will be unable to support himself, as for Liu Gong's generation, their voices have little effect at the moment.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wenjing returned to Hanyang with ordnance and the news of the party meeting last night, and as in the parallel world, Ju Zhenghu faked the tiger and pulled up Mr. Sun's banner, falsely claiming that the regulations had been drafted by Mr. Sun Wen's "clever calculation" a long time ago, and they only made slight modifications according to the current situation, Sun Wu and Zhang Zhenwu were still a little resistant at first, but when they stuffed the confession to the two of them, they both closed their mouths.

The note was his confession to Ju Zheng, in which the bandits who made trouble on the night of the first uprising said that they were instructed by Jin Leprosy, and that all the firearms and explosives were also obtained from a party member. Although I didn't say who the party members were, who didn't know the relationship between Jin Leprosy and Zhang Zhenwu! This confession sent chills down Sun Wu's spine. He knew that if this confession was revealed, Zhang Zhenwu would definitely be arrested as a bandit leader, and he might even be used to completely attack the Communist Association and the Society, so that the League would interfere in Hubei and snatch the great merit of the first uprising! Now Li Yuanhong's position as the governor can no longer be moved, and the military power has been divided in half because of Yang Qiu's appearance, if they can't manage it well, I'm afraid they will all be "sacrificed"! So I kept my mouth shut and watched the "Regulations" being passed.

After listening to this, Yang Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or be worried, Mr. Sun lost ten battles and ten defeats, coupled with the "God of War" Huang Keqiang, the pair really managed to survive in the military and succeeded, but neither of them was in China, no wonder later generations like to say that Wuchang Shouyi is the world's largest peach, and even he was attracted by this big peach ().

With the river ships docked one by one, the most worrying ordnance turmoil eased slightly, Jiang Tai even rolled up his sleeves and personally commanded the unloading of the artillery at the dock, although the 30 five-life and seven-mountain guns could not be compared with the Krupp of the first and second battalions of the artillery, but it solved the problem of insufficient artillery of the Right Route Army, and the dozens of artillerymen who volunteered to join the Right Route Army with the arrival of the ship gave him the capital to form two more artillery battalions.

"Commander, the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens is about to begin, who will you send?" After handing over the list of ordnance to his deputy, Zhang Wenjing asked, "Both Ju Zheng and Tang Hualong asked you to attend in person." ”

Although this ceremony is similar to a show, this kind of thing is still very important in this era, so Yang Qiu thought about it and said: "The guard company, the second regiment, the first battalion and the first company attended, and Fan Liangshan and Ma Kui accompanied me. Zhang Wenjing was just about to turn around to make arrangements after recording it, when he saw Ji Fucheng, who was staying in Hanyang, running over with a hot sweat: "Commander! Wushengguan urgently reported that Beiyang had attacked! ”

*******

"It's Beiyang! Give me a lift! Machine guns pay attention to save bullets cannons, cannons hit me! ”

A row of accurate bullets, fired at the edge of the battlement bunker, a little dust exploded in front of the city pass, sharp shouts and whistles, the eight five lives and seven cannons brought in the pass bunker began to roar, one by one the shells crossed the city pass and fell at the foot of the pass, and the maroon fire immediately covered the north gate slope.

In the corner tower, the smile on He Xi's face all day gradually hardened, and in the camera was thousands of Qing troops rushing from both sides, although most of them were still from Henan to patrol the city camp, but the Zhili military uniform mixed in still stabbed all the eyeballs. Zhili's military uniform, the body pressure when charging is very low, the running position is fast and slow, and the movement is skillful, coupled with the scattered and open infantry line, can you still maintain such a skillful tactical movement in a mountainous area like Wushengguan, can you find a second such force in addition to Beiyang?

Although Beiyang has put in the attack, He Xi is still not afraid of this scale. At present, in addition to the two main battalions of the first regiment in Wushengguan, Shi Xiaolou also led the team to agree to join the Right Route Army, and the soldiers who have been rushing from Henan to defect in the past few days have been organized into a regiment and four battalions (). Yesterday, several hundred students and young people came from Macheng, Xiaogan, and other places, and they were originally going to let them take the train transporting military supplies back to Hanyang today to receive training first, but now it seems that they will not be able to leave for the time being. Therefore, he immediately sent them the weapons he brought, and then transferred the veterans to form five battalions, and took the opportunity of defending the Jiuli Pass on both sides and the Pingjing Pass to let them know what it was to fight first.

After the artillery in the pass fired, the cannonballs on the opposite side also fell rapidly, and the sound of the cannonballs breaking the wind made the veterans breathe a sigh of relief, and they listened to the five-life and seven-mountain cannon that still sounded the same as their own, rather than the German-Japanese seven-life five-heavy cannon of the Beiyang standard, which shows that this attack is just a test of Beiyang, and if it is really a force that falls, I am afraid that it will be a more powerful German-made cannonball.

The artillerymen come and go, from time to time you can see the picture of the soldiers being swept away at close range, the bunker reinforced with sandbags and stones has been repeatedly ravaged in the past few days, Shi Xiaolou is hiding in a bunker, his face can no longer see the depression of a few days ago, but his eyes are shining excitedly, and being able to fight with Beiyang may be the biggest dream of his life.

Under the supervision and leadership of the Beiyang soldiers, this time the Henan patrol battalion did not make a fuss as it had done a few days ago, and retreated perfunctorily after firing a few shots, and the soldiers of the two battalions braved cold sweats and carried shells up the hillside. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Shi Xiaolou took the lead in holding up the Austro-Hungarian Charliman cavalry gun, which was pulled from the corpse of the Beiyang horse mark soldier when cleaning the battlefield that night.

As long as an experienced veteran puts the butt of this gun on his shoulder, he can immediately feel the difference between it and Hanyang, which makes people secretly praise Beiyang as the most well-equipped army in China. When the crosshair was aimed at a Beiyang veteran, Shi Xiaolou fired the first shot, and the power of the 7.92 mm round-headed bullet made by Beidagu was about the same as that of Hanyang-made, and it did not have the same recoil as the pointed bullet of Dezao. But what surprised him was not this, but the Beiyang soldiers on the opposite side seemed to know that someone was aiming at him, and while the trigger was pulled, he actually lay down obliquely to avoid the must-kill blow.

The crisp sound of gunfire was like a signal, and the light and heavy machine gunners hiding in the bunker opened fire first and fired fiercely, especially the two Makqin machine guns arranged on both sides of the pass, half-buried in the ground and protected by thick sandbags, were the most crazy.

After Shi Xiaolou quickly withdrew the bullet case and reloaded, a large number of soldiers from the Henan Patrol Battalion had been hit by machine guns, but he was careful and found that there were very few Beiyang soldiers who were really hit, because most of them were the same as the guy just now, and after reaching the distance, they began to lie down and push the gun forward, and the soldiers who wanted to hit the prostrate soldiers at a distance of 300 meters were undoubtedly fools' dreams ().

"Reload!"

The light machine gunner next to him shouted loudly to remind his comrades, and after he replaced himself with a new thirty-round magazine, there were also several piercing whistles from the opposite side, and the creeping Beiyang soldiers in the whistle jumped up like fierce tigers, and then quickly ran diagonally towards the pass.

"Be careful." As soon as the light machine gunner aimed at a Beiyang soldier, a long tongue of fire erupted from the bushes on the low slope opposite, and Beiyang also put in two Makqin heavy machine guns this time, unlike the half-hung machine gunners of the right army, the Beiyang machine gunners trained by German instructors were more skilled, and could make full use of the firepower of the heavy machine guns to capture the gaps that needed to be torn apart.

The chirping bullets flew past the head of the light machine gun squad, and more hit the bunker and burst into smoke and dust, and the gap between the light machine gun and the heavy machine gun was completely revealed, and this kind of frontal attack was completely passively beaten. Seeing that the situation was not good, the spare two Makqin squads also threw themselves in, and the four Maxims immediately suppressed the Beiyang machine gun team, and the Madsen light machine guns could finally free up their hands to suppress the Beiyang infantry at full speed.

In the distant mountain pass, Wang Zhanyuan saw through the telescope that he had knocked out the two Maxim machine gun positions hidden by his opponent, and he also evoked a touch of pride under his beard, so he carefully handed over the Zeiss eight-fold telescope purchased from Germany to Ma Ben.

Li Chun glanced at this kind of valuable money, because a few years ago, Togo Heihachiro relied on it to command the Tsushima Naval Battle that shocked the world and was popular with senior officers, and said with a telescope: "Brother Zichun is still powerful, one team plus two battalions of the Yi Army, he has tested the enemy's reality and reality, and now I'm afraid he has Zhizhu in his hands, right?" ”

Wang Zhanyuan is nearly ten years older than Li Chun, but the personal relationship between the two is still good, and when he heard him say that he was holding Zhizhu in his hand, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Use 2 stun guns to shoot diagonally, and the remaining 2 are used as preparations, and the light machine fast artillery is used for close support, and after the artillery is interrupted, it is very powerful!" It doesn't look like an inexperienced chaotic party, but it looks like an old officer in the eight towns (). It's a pity that the machine gunner is inexperienced, and he chooses to fire more than 100 rounds, and the firepower seems to be fierce but the consumption of bullets is too great, so he should have been equipped recently. ”

"Brother Zichun, I remember that the eight towns were not equipped with a race electric gun and a light machine fast gun, where did they come from?"

Wang Zhanyuan also shook his head: "I don't know, I have already reported this matter to the adult, and I think there should be news in the next few days." ”

"I'm not afraid of machine guns, their guns are not as good as ours, the range and power are too small, and we can still take them down by gritting our teeth." After Li Chun finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and smiled: "By the way, Zichun, didn't the military commander let your 3 assistants help?" You don't want to do your best? ”

"Who said the old man didn't try his best to make a team!" Wang Zhanyuan laughed and pointed to Wusheng Pass in the distance: "Xiushan, you don't know, the railway scheduling is chaotic, most of my 3 associations can't come up at all, and your 11 associations may not have entered Henan yet, and there is no artillery to help fight the pass?" Can't fight, can't fight! ”

"Haha."

Li Chun couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "In the world, it is estimated that only Brother Zichun dares to be so opportunistic!" He was afraid that he would die of anger when he heard it. ”

Wang Zhanyuan snorted coldly: "He is the grace of adults, not mine!" I won't work hard for him. He has the ability to solve my artillery, and I will immediately take Wusheng Pass without saying a word. ”

Li Chun was noncommittal to Wang Zhanyuan's words, Yin Chang saved Yuan Shikai, so he has always been called Enshang by the people of Yuan's mansion, but these people have never admitted it, and asked with a smile: "How is Lord Qincha now?" It can be blocked here for five or six days, and if we don't enter Hubei, we won't be able to clean up the mess. ”

"What else! If you can't move, let's go and draw half of the 13th battalion of Henan Patrol City, not only did not take it for three days, but there were hundreds of casualties, and now I heard that it is necessary to play 29 mixed into the association's attention, but Bao Fen is afraid that after the 29 association is withdrawn, Henan has no strength to respond to emergencies, and has been dragging it out and not handing it over. ”

"The patrol camp was the foundation of the Yi Army back then, and it could still be fought more than ten years ago, but now ()." Li Chun was full of disdain for the city patrol camp, but Wang Zhan said with a serious smile: "In the end, it is a veteran, it is good to practice for a few days with peace of mind." ”

"That's right. I heard that the Sa system has arrived in Jiujiang, and both Zaixun and Yinchang asked him to go north to bombard Wuchang immediately, Zichun guessed how he replied? The two didn't seem to care about the battle in front of the pass at all, and Li Chun even smiled and said as he walked: "His old man replied that the sailor had been on the road overnight, and the soldiers were tired and resting, saying that when the army arrived, he would let the rebels know the power of his sailor's naval guns." ”

"Sa Tong and Li Songqing have a teacher-student friendship, so naturally they will not fight to the death. It's us. Wang Zhanyuan took a step closer and said: "I heard that the British ambassador Zhu Erdian has been helping the adults speak in the past few days, but Zaifeng, the old beard, is dragging the adults out of the mountain, should we do something?" ”

Although Li Chun is younger, he is not confused about the big thing, and hurriedly stopped: "The imperial court has made the adult the governor of Huguang, but his old man doesn't seem to be interested in the two lakes, and now the Hubei Chaos Party is growing stronger day by day, and Zaifeng is more anxious than us, I estimate that the wind will change in two days." ”

"Two lakes, hehe, these relatives have really done it!"

In the laughter and conversation between the two, Wusheng Pass had already shouted to kill Zhentian, Wang Zhanyuan put into the test of the Beiyang team launched the last wave of charges in the rain of bullets, and the Henan patrol battalion transferred also followed behind their buttocks shouting and shouting to kill and explode, and the screams and bullets merged into a real war picture, and many inexperienced soldiers of the Right Route Army were killed by the old Beiyang gunners because they were a little too tall when they fired.

Although Beiyang is brave, but Wushengguan, which is garrisoned by three battalions in a row, is too weak, and in the face of the dense rain of bullets, Beiyang also has many casualties, but Wang Zhanyuan doesn't care about how many people die, he just wants to test the reality before the official start of the battle.

The first battle between the Right Route Army and Beiyang ended hastily, and when Shi Xiaolou picked up a German Mauser that was more suitable for infantry, he and everyone knew that after this temptation, the next time he returned to Beiyang, he was afraid that it would be a real hard battle
