The charge began again, and the barrel of the water-cooled heavy machine gun was already red, and it was impossible to shoot, and the battalion commander Yin Chengfu shouted anxiously: "Go and carry the water, go and carry the water!" ”。 Although there were a large number of Madsen light machine guns on the position, the firepower was not as strong as before, and there had been six consecutive mute fires, and even the barrels of the infantrymen's G98 Mauser rifles were burning.

The Gui army swarmed up, Yin Chengfu took off his hat and threw it on the ground, shouting: "Brothers, shoot and stab me!" Drive these bitches down the river and feed them to the king. ”

Yin Chengfu was one of the few fourth-term students in Baoding who stayed in the Fourth Brigade, and he thought that he would not be able to fight a tough battle if he stayed in the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, but he didn't know that the first battle would be fought so tragically. The Gui army was counter-charged by the battalion directly under it, and the troops were stagnant, and the two sides engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle.

The MGO8 heavy machine gun, which had been silent for a long time, began to spit out flames again, and the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade in white-knuckle combat scattered to both sides of the position, and the soldiers of the Model Battalion of the Gui Army were in a dense and scattered formation, and they were no longer able to charge, so they had to retreat to the beachhead.

In the brigade headquarters, Wu Xiaoliang called back to the headquarters of the various defense lines and held his position. He intuitively felt that the Gui army would not only attack all the way, but there would definitely be a vicious battle on the frontal defense line. Sure enough, the front-line artillery rang out, but it was not Chen Xiuyan's department that was attacked, but Dong Haibin's first regiment. At the same time, the northeast Jiaping shoal in the northeast of Pingjiang was also attacked, and according to the reconnaissance of at least one brigade of troops, the Gui army attacked on three sides, just to catch Wu Xiaoliang by surprise.

After tossing for more than two hours, the sky had already brightened, and the Gui army who crossed the river did not make the slightest progress, leaving only a corpse in vain. Tan Haoming was really red-eyed, his entire division was blocked on the south bank of Mishui, and he was not allowed to advance half a step, he ordered the two regiments to press up, this was the last chance, once the northern army could calmly arrange the deployment at dawn, and his sneak attack would be declared a failure.

Wu Xiaoliang personally came to the south gate to inspect and boost the morale of the soldiers who were bloody in the middle of the night, "The sky is already dawn, the artillery has already aimed the cannon at the enemy, and their end has come." ”

"Victory! Win! ”

Everyone cheered excitedly.

"The enemy is rushing up, ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight"

Wu Xiaoliang returned to the brigade headquarters and immediately ordered, "Report, half of the artillery in the artillery position is aimed at the south bank of Mishui and open fire!" ”

Twenty-five 75mm 1897 field guns were all in place, and the high-explosive bombs fell on the south bank of Mishui in an instant, Tan Haoming's first division suddenly turned on his back, crying and screaming, and a base number of shells hit the south bank of Mishui within a minute, not only causing huge casualties, but also greatly shaking the military heart of the Gui army, Tan Haoming closed his eyes and knew that he had to order the withdrawal of the army at this moment, but he was unwilling.

The two regiments that were the first to wade through the water to charge saw that the division headquarters behind them was bombed, and the people were panicked and did not dare to charge. Suddenly, the shells moved northward, sweeping like rakes plowing the ground, severed arms and stumps flew sideways, and the formation of the Wading Gui army was in chaos, and the soldiers rushed to flee for their lives on both sides, and no matter how the ministers reprimanded, it was to no avail. The soldiers were all in one go, then weakened, and then exhausted, several charges were repulsed, they had long lost the courage to attack, the cannons were plowed over, and the army's heart was completely dispersed and collapsed in an instant, and they began to rush to flee for their lives.

Tan Haoming saw that the general trend had gone and gave the order to retreat. Yin Chengfu, the commander of the battalion directly under the division headquarters, took the opportunity to lead his troops to charge and pursue at the tail end.

Compared with the battle at the south gate of Pingjiang City, the battle on the front line of Yanjiatan is completely a copy of yesterday's cavalry charge, but Wei Yongchang learned to be obedient and thought that the position defended by Chen Xiuyan's department was too strong, so the other direction should be slightly weaker, in fact, it was true, but his troops still kicked on the iron plate, the firepower of the infantry regiments of the Fourth Brigade was really strong, all kinds of light and heavy firepower were intertwined, and the few who charged were even extremely heavy in casualties, so that some people were scared to shirk and dare not advance, but this was not the beginning of the nightmare, The artillery of the 4th Brigade carried out fire support and detonated its ammunition box, and the Wei Brigade was caught in flames.

The battle situation reversed too quickly, Wei Yongchang couldn't accept it, Mu Ran looked at his subordinates who were scattered and fled, and muttered, "How can this be? ”

The rout of the attacking position fled back like a rolling tide, and the whole situation was chaotic.

Dong Haibin also did not expect that the Gui army would be so vulnerable, and ordered the whole regiment to be on guard in case of accidents, and the cavalry company and infantry company reserves were dispatched to pursue and kill the enemy's rout. He was still conservative, Chen Xiuyan saw that the credit was taken away by the rival, so he left only a company to garrison the position, led the whole regiment to cover the past, and blocked Wei Yongchang's brigade headquarters and some of his subordinate troops in Zhongling 5 miles away.

The battle lasted until the evening, when Wei Yongchang disarmed and surrendered, and his troops scattered and fled. And the Ma Ji Brigade sneaked back to Xiangyin as early as noon when he saw that the situation was not good, otherwise he would have met Wei Yongchang and would not know that the whole army would be annihilated.

Tan Haoming withdrew to Changsha and learned that Wei Yongchang's brigade had been captured alive, and he was furious, scolding Wei Yongchang for being a fool and a fool. It is reported that the king of Tongcheng, Ruxianshi, has already moved south, and the originally good shape has suddenly taken a sharp turn, which is becoming more and more unfavorable to himself.

Wu Xiaoliang was dismissed from the post of commander of the Second Regiment because Chen Xiuyan left the position without permission, and continued to take charge of the whole regiment as the acting regiment commander, but he also had a meritorious service in capturing Wei Yongchang, so he reported to the 6th Army Headquarters for his meritorious service.

The news of Duan Qirui's departure suddenly came, and the leadership core of the Fourth Regiment was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

When Fu Zuoyi learned the news, he hurriedly came to Wu Xiaoliang to ask for countermeasures, and he rarely lost his temper so much.

"Weizhong, how can it be good for Zhishuai to resign." They are based in Beijing, and all the ammunition they foster is sent by the 6 Army Department. Now that Duan Qirui has lost power, his direct line will not tolerate the Fourth Brigade that is hanging alone, and his shape immediately turns from great to dangerous.

Wu Weizhong knew that history was proceeding according to the memory of his previous life, as expected, Duan Qirui would soon return to the high-profile stage, and what the Fourth Brigade needed to do at this time was to stand firmly on Duan Qirui's side.

"Brother Yisheng, don't worry, immediately power up and support Zhishuai."

Fu Zuoyi said in surprise: "How?" How is it? In his opinion, the Fourth Brigade should not take a position at this moment, and it is the best policy to wait and see what happens.

"Brother Wei Zhong, no, we should slow down our position, so that even if Zhishuai collapses, the Fourth Brigade still has room for maneuver."

Fang Qidao had a different opinion, "So we won't become villains in the twilight?" Zhishuai needs our support at this time, and I firmly oppose Yisheng's opinion. ”

Of course, Wu Xiaoliang would be on Duan Qirui's side, so he supported Fang Qidao, glanced at Fu Zuoyi, and said:

"Brother Yisheng, what Zhi Zhi said is reasonable, besides, Zhishuai's foundation is still there, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers, if the rats are at both ends, there will be no place for us in Beiyang after that."
