Run! Run hard! Run away as fast as you can!

Major General Tada Seiyuki leaned over the back of a low horse, and on both sides were guards with panicked faces, and the fleeing soldiers who could not see the end at a glance lost their armor and wolves, like lost dogs, ignoring the slippery mud on the ground, squeezing out every bit of strength in their bones, and fleeing with their lives!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his throat kept screaming hysterically, but I don't know if it was too much yelling or if all his aura was gone, but after he came out, it turned into something that was indistinct, and no one could hear what he was saying.

His brain was in chaos, and he couldn't concentrate on thinking about why, and he was defeated inexplicably!

The Tada expedition group failed miserably! And it was a complete defeat without psychological preparation!

Early in the morning, countless revolutionary troops suddenly burst out between the defense lines, each of which carried as if it was inexhaustible ammunition, and there were endless shells whistling in the sky.

No unit could assemble an effective defense, not even the most elite First Brigade, which was blown apart by countless shells in just one shot, and the bullets that followed were almost as good as last night's torrential rain, and it was impossible to get a chance to suppress everyone to look up.

It wasn't a battle at all, it was a bloody massacre of the big and the small!

The revolutionary army had ten or dozens of times more artillery and strike capabilities than the Japanese army, and the rate of fire with small arms was also five to ten times that of the Japanese army, not to mention the tactical level. At the same time, he has enough energy and is in good health. Lunge at it. No one can stop it!

The first brigade is defeated! Before they could be plugged out, a battalion of revolutionary troops broke through and left them behind.

The captain was just thinking about reorganizing the remnants of the army and covering up the battle in the future, when he suddenly saw countless civilians suddenly popping up from all over the mountains!

It was an ordinary Chinese citizen, wearing a coarse cloth gown, wearing leggings, straw sandals, and even barefoot, all of them with dark skin, thin and short, with towels wrapped around their heads and black mud between their fingernails. It can be said to be the slag of the soil.

In peacetime, it is impossible for the Japanese army, as elite soldiers, to care about these farmers who have no training and unity spirit. But today they see a completely different person! They were all young and strong, the youngest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest was in his early forties, but they were all the backbone of the work. It's so large that it's not clear at the moment.

The Japanese army was not afraid, but none of the peasants were empty-handed, most of them carried shovels, hoes, rakes, pickaxes, and some with hunting forks, spears, and sharpened bamboo poles. Led by a handful of short-haired youth groups carrying old single-shot rifles, they came out in large groups of hundreds of people, each with a dangerous glint in their eyes. When he saw the Japanese army, he gritted his teeth and bruised his muscles, as if he had seen an enemy of life and death!

Even the Japanese troops who were broken through and disabled were still well disciplined. Under the organization of excellent junior officers, a squad and a squad still have extremely strong combat effectiveness. Faced with ten times the number of farmers, they shouldn't have been intimidated.

But the messy shouts and frenzied charges of the rushing peasants were no less than their ordinary pig suddenness! What's even more terrifying is that the words they shouted in their mouths could be heard clearly by officers who knew a little Chinese, and it was: "Kill all the little devils and avenge the villagers!" Cut off their heads, teach them that they can't be born even if they die! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill a little devil for a cow, kill the ...... of the dog's day! ”

Shao Zuo, who was familiar with Chinese history, suddenly remembered that it seemed that at the end of the war two thousand years ago, those elite soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, who ruled the world, were shouting similar words and cutting people's heads!

Lunatic! All lunatics!

The panicked and messy shooting of the Japanese army to block it could indeed cause sporadic killings, but it immediately attracted the counterattack of the young men carrying guns in the crowd, followed by the people who did not want to die and seemed to be rushing wildly, three or five dozen people picked up one, and the hoes and shovels were waved together, and the people were cut to pieces when they clicked!

This is the popular force that has been trained for a year and has formed an effective interaction with the revolutionary army system!

Through the land reform, the masses were mobilized through the land reform, the disabled veterans were used as instructors to train the masses, the masses were awakened through collectivism and continuous cultural education, and the collective work such as the large-scale construction of farmland, water conservancy, mines, and roads was used to unite the masses and turn them into a powerful grassroots force integrating urban and rural areas and the army and the people. This is the powerful means of our party's success that Yang Hao took from this world!

Whether it is the Japanese army or the coalition army, they have no idea what kind of world they are intruding into!

In the Yellow Flood Area of northern Jiangsu, eastern Hebei, and southwestern Shandong, the center of the earliest de facto agrarian revolutionary movement, the revolutionary army thoroughly implemented the power of the new dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the common people who have benefited from it have not only enthusiastically joined the army and wholeheartedly supported the military government, but are also full of yearning and enthusiasm for a better life in the future.

The construction speed here is a bit exaggerated if it is the same every day, but the people have the most direct feeling, usually a year of hunger, natural disasters and man-made disasters at every turn, every family has a child who died young, I don't know when I have to go to escape the famine to ask for food, all of a sudden all gone!

They have enough to eat every day, they have money to buy food to support their families every month, each family has their own land that they directly or indirectly cultivate, and their children are all in school and can read and write, and they will be ...... to get ahead in the future.

There is nothing more than these to win the love of the people, so even if he has never seen Yang Hao, tens of millions of people have unanimously set up a birthday tablet for him, no matter how forbidden it is, it will not work. And no one said that he was unconvinced by the speech he made through the loudspeaker, even if this time he wanted to temporarily vacate his homeland as a battlefield to kill the enemy, the common people also recognized it. Mr. Yang said that if the house is broken, it will be built new, and he can be trusted!

The common people are not blindly waiting for the end of the war, they also want to do their part, the bad news of the brutal killing of the Japanese army came, and the people who can always connect with each other in a roundabout way are all bitter hate! As long as they call for a little, they will keep up with the large army without saying a word, acting as a front force. By the way, take revenge on your relatives with your own hands!

There are only a few people in the troops. Now only one regiment has been killed. But how many people are there? At least tens of thousands!

Just carry a few dry food, or a bag of fried noodles and a bottle of water. Tens of thousands of former people rushed into the battlefield with the troops! In the face of the remnants of the Japanese army who were knocked out of their spirits, they broke out with a ferocious fanaticism that was not inferior to the rebel armies of previous dynasties, and used unprofessional tools to break countless Japanese soldiers into pieces!

The people's war is our party's magic weapon for victory. Yang Hao came to the original plane, and the experimental field that was launched here first was very effective!

The soldiers of the revolutionary army rushed forward in front, stepping on their own shells to blow up the Japanese defense line. Then throw the chaotic battlefield to the militia behind and the people in front. Like two sharp arrows, it took them less than a day to penetrate the hinterland of the Tada expedition from multiple angles!

His Excellency the Major General is strategizing in the wet tent, and all he gets is unstoppable bad news! When his headquarters was discovered by aerial reconnaissance, it was bombarded by a bunch of shells, and he fled in a panic.

In front was the revolutionary army with machine guns opening the way, and behind was the militia frenzy with a loud roar of murder, and a terrifying invisible momentum pressed on his heart more gloomily than yesterday's dark clouds, so that he could not give birth to even the slightest fighting spirit, so he could only turn around and flee in a hurry!

Defeat is like a mountain!

The Japanese recruits, who had no combat experience, collapsed, and a brigade of the regimental headquarters of the defense brigade and thousands of the remaining scattered soldiers turned their heads and ran wildly to the south. After a night of heavy rain, the river suddenly swelled and became an obstacle! In order to escape, the Japanese had to take the risk of jumping down and swimming to the opposite bank, but the sudden and violent water of the river did not give face at all. When you land, cut down the already small army by another layer!

Tada Seiyaki's brigade headquarters was relatively backward, so the impact was relatively weak. In the face of extremely bad post-rain roads, mud swamps that can pull out shoes are everywhere when you step on them, ruts hidden under muddy water can break people's calves if you are not careful, and horses stumble and stumble when they run.

It was also considered the bad luck of Major General Tada, his war horse stepped into the pit carelessly, threw him out at once, and rolled in the mud soup for more than a dozen times in a row, and when he got up, he was dirty like a mud monkey.

The guards hurriedly pounced on him and scrubbed him indiscriminately, then lifted up and mounted his horse and continued to gallop, the horses with injured legs limped and did not go fast, and the shouts of killing from behind were approaching again, so frightened that their souls were about to fly!

Tada Seiyaki was so angry that he went crazy, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Eight grid tooth road! Bastards, how the hell do they fight?! Why haven't the people from the division headquarters come yet?! I'm not reconciled to ......! ”

He didn't know that just after the 23rd Wing was suddenly shelled yesterday, there was a mess in the headquarters of the Left Coalition Army. Commander Kuroki Weizhen repeatedly demanded that the coalition forces must immediately go north with all their might, launch a decisive attack, destroy the enemy's frontal defenses in one fell swoop, defeat their arrogance, and then press the formation to help the Qing army encroach little by little until victory.

But the British disagreed. They originally didn't expect that the massacre of the Japanese army would cause such a fierce reaction, and when the news came from the relevant parties, Yang Hao issued a kill order, followed by such a fierce shelling, they were afraid!

Although eighty percent of the people sent by the British Empire this time were Indian Asan, there were also more than 2,000 British gentlemen who were upright, and their lives were extremely precious, and they must not be casually thrown into such a cruel battle. If they were just faced with the second-line troops of the revolutionary army, which had been rumored to have taken away the backbone of the elite, they might still be able to fight, but now the hot air balloons and heavy artillery units appeared first, they would have to consider whether to take that risk.

In essence, the British never thought of going into battle shirtless and fighting to the death as a pioneer themselves, they came to help the Qing Dynasty to quell the rebellion, to help, naturally they had to stand in a safe place and show their hands and feet, at most occasionally give some demonstrations. Desperately? That can't be done.

So the British refused to agree, and instead asked Li Yuanhong, the leader of the Hubei New Army, to charge into battle as a hot-blooded youth.

They underestimated the commander of the Li Dynasty, who was only in his early thirties. This master is in another time and space, he is a bull who has served two presidents and three vice presidents, and his intelligence is first-class, and when it comes to his heart, he is several times more than ordinary people!

Li Yuanhong immediately took out Zhang Zhidong's warrant, making it clear that he was bringing people to help the coalition forces, and it was no problem to carry any work on his shoulders, and it was no problem to repair bridges and pave roads, escort cars and carry people. But war? I'm sorry, we're all a bunch of raw melons and eggs, and we've never seen a real battlefield. You don't have to go up and make trouble for the columns.

In short, let you say it. I just don't go!

The British Yankee was thunderous. But he was helpless and careless, Li Yuanhong simply ran away and returned to his barracks a few kilometers away, and the troops were fully vigilant to prevent being caught fire by the big and small devils.

The most likely power to count on was the first to draw the legs, and the British suddenly understood that they underestimated the wisdom of the Chinese and used them as fools. Is it possible?

Such a noise did not lead to results, but the continuous sound of approaching artillery in the distance made them nervous. The British did not hesitate to put on an arrogant face, forcing Kuroki Weizhen to obey their commands, building solid fortifications with Pixian County as the core and relying on Luoma Lake, and working day and night to build turtle shells.

In this way, Tada Seiyaki's side is about to die, and he wants reinforcements? Although it is only a dozen kilometers away, none of them will come!

As night fell, Seiyuki Tada fled to a place still seven or eight kilometers away from the headquarters station, and from a distance he could see that the rear troops were stepping up to build fortifications. But the surging river stopped them again, and they wanted to get through. Very difficult.

The original pontoon bridge was washed away, and the new one was not erected, probably the headquarters did not expect that they would be defeated so wolfly, so quickly, and the front and rear command and coordination were disjointed, and the trouble caused was killed!

At this time, the shells flying from afar were already able to hit the left and near Pixian County, and although they did not directly bombard the county seat as before, they could easily target the positions found on the periphery to suppress and strike in real time.

85mm cannons and 122mm howitzers, the explosions that fell were terrible explosions that the army had basically never seen! Without learning a complete set of tunnel fortification techniques, once the messy armament was hit by a shell at close range, it turned into a boiling firework and fell apart!

The tense atmosphere hung over the heads of the coalition forces, and neither the British nor the Japanese cared about what was going forward, so that Tada Seiyaki had no support in the face of the short distance that could be reached in dozens of minutes on horseback, so he could only call in vain!

His Excellency the Major General was drenched in muddy water, like a lotus root that had just been fished out of a ditch, exuding a suffocating smell, which made him, who liked cleanliness very much, sad and almost crazy!

The strength of his whole body was drained, and in the face of the night breeze of spring and summer communication, he couldn't help but continue to shiver! The guard on the side wiped his forehead and had a fever! Hurriedly looking for a military doctor to come over for treatment, Tada Seiyuki violently pushed the person away, panting and shouting: "Leave me alone!" Send everyone up, be sure to build a bridge and cross the river before dawn! ”

The troops were all scattered, and the number of sappers brought by the brigade headquarters was pitiful, and it was impossible to find some useful tools in all directions. In order to build bridges, many officers even took out their ancestral knives to cut down trees, and many of them broke in panic. They were almost crying, but what could they do? It's important to run for your life!

Tada Seiyuki once again told the captain of the Gong Guard: "Don't let your guard down!" The enemy will most likely attack again overnight, and they will be more familiar with the environment than we do! ”

Needless to say, the people below don't dare to relax at all. But this matter is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it, the whole army has not rested or replenished since yesterday, a few people have eaten some cold rice balls to satisfy their hunger, and many people are simply hungry. Now I have been running back and forth for dozens of kilometers, and I am all exhausted, and once I stop, I can fall asleep even if I lie in a puddle!

Although the offensive of the revolutionary army was crazy, it still controlled the rhythm. In the evening, a regiment from the front resolutely stared at the tail of the Japanese army, while repairing while waiting for the ammunition supplies to be sent up, patiently sweeping the rear road to ensure that nothing went wrong, until the other regiment dispersed and forced forward, outflanking along the old road of the Yellow River from the direction of Xuzhou.

The Japanese soldiers waited until the second half of the night, but they did not see any movement, and they could not bear the exhaustion and fell asleep. At about three o'clock in the morning, there was an earth-shattering sound of artillery from the cold rear!

Tada Zhengzhi woke up in shock, hurriedly looked, and found that the direction of the Pixian headquarters was caught in an overwhelming explosion, and at the same time, there was a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound from the left flank forcing into their back road!

At this time, in the headquarters of the coalition forces, foreigners from all countries were stunned! Lieutenant General Kuroki screamed hysterically: "I knew that the damn Shina people were unreliable!" The line of defense on the left flank was completely penetrated! ”

Li Yuanhong's six or seven thousand soldiers and horses were deployed on the left flank, so it stands to reason that no matter how much they can withstand it for three days and five days, right? But in fact, the guy released the water!

All the Hubei New Army held on to the camp, and Li Yuanhong coldly watched as the soldiers of the revolutionary army rushed over the side like a tide, followed by tens of thousands of young and strong people, happily plunging into the battle of attacking the encirclement and suppression of the coalition army. In this situation, the subordinates who had intended to persuade him swallowed all the words into their stomachs. If they don't do this, they will also end up with foreign devils!

There were more than 10,000 coalition troops holding the position in Pixian, but they were caught off guard by a regiment of more than 3,000 people! The bombardment shattered their fortifications, followed by a steady stream of troops that quickly swelled to over 10,000, or even more, as if out of the ground! Coupled with countless young people, it seems that there are too many of them!

The coalition forces are losing and retreating, and they can't form an army! What's worse is that they have Llama Lake behind them, and they can't run anywhere!

Li Yuanhong saw that the victory or defeat had been decided, turned his head and ordered the troops to put white towels on their arms, rush out of the position and go straight to the position on the south bank of the Jingshankou River, where the coalition forces deployed had been evacuated in order to return to defense!

On the other side of the river, the remnants of Major General Seiyuki Tada reluctantly built two pontoon bridges and hurriedly led the team to rush over. Just after running for more than two miles, a black shadow appeared in front of them, almost scaring them! When I looked closely, it turned out to be a friendly Qing army and a new army.

Tada Seiyuki had the strength to ascend, glared at his eyes and shouted: "You immediately cross the river to block the enemy army, and buy time for the coalition forces to reorganize the defensive line!" ”

Li Yuanhong smiled and ordered people to gather the Japanese soldiers who came over, and saw that there was no one behind him, and suddenly turned his face! With a wave of their hand, countless new soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the Japanese army and opened fire, killing all these unsuspecting dwarfs on the spot!

Tada Seiyuki roared in disbelief: "Eight grid tooth road! How dare you!? ”

Li Yuanhong sneered: "Lao Tzu, this is avenging the villagers who died!" Oriental little nose, obediently give Lao Tzu a decent name! ”

He personally held a ghost-headed big knife in his hand, aimed at Tada Seiyuki's neck and swung it violently, and chopped it off!

Tada Sei's death was not blind, and the last sentence muttered in his throat: "I am unwilling!" ”

At dawn, the revolutionary army met on two routes, three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and other auxiliary forces of nearly 20,000 people, plus countless militia members who were young and strong, and surrounded the shore of Luoma Lake tightly. A hot air balloon flew into the sky and dropped leaflets to persuade them to surrender, making it clear that as long as they lay down their arms, the revolutionary army could consider giving them a way to live.

Kuroki shouted for Zhen that he would rather die than surrender, and sent troops to surround the foreign devils with floating minds and coerce them to help fight, because he knew that the Chinese would never let them go!

After a stalemate for half a morning, the artillery that advanced up broke out together, peeling off the Japanese defense line layer by layer, and the remnants of the Sixth Division suddenly fell apart until the whole army was annihilated! (To be continued......)
