The shock brought by the surrender of Hunan to the whole world is deep in the bone marrow.

For many years, the Xiang army and the Zeng family represent the Optimus Pillar Stone of the Qing Dynasty, the mainstay. Now in the blink of an eye, the old hen becomes a duck, which is so representative!

After the surrender of Changsha, Yueyang and other places were almost bloodless, and the Yangtze River sailors in Dongting Lake also surrendered as a whole under the leadership of Peng Yulin and Li Chengmou. Then Peng Yulin and Li Chengmou were dropped from the Ministry of National Defense, with the rank of lieutenant general and the rank of major general, and they were given a bounty for the house and hung up high. Because these two people have no intention of serving in the military, unlike Peng Yucheng, Ma Rulong and others, they happily transferred to the senior class of the regular army officer school that the army has opened in Guangzhou.

Zeng Guoquan was appointed as the first governor of Hunan by the new Qin government, and Wang Wenshao was transferred to the Central Ministry of Finance. He is in charge of the field and statistics.

Liu Rong was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Education, Guo Songtao was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a large number of Hunan military personnel and a group of backbones of the Hunan school were appointed to the central and local yamen.

The Hunan army has a strong heritage, and in a blink of an eye, it occupied a place in the new Qin government. Although there are also a group of people who do not want to be in the office.

In Liu Xian's view, the biggest advantage of Hunan's change of ownership is the complete liberation of Guangxi's defense, and the Zhou army has begun to rectify Hunan's military affairs, and no less than 30,000 of the more than 40,000 Hunan troops are willing to eat the bowl of rice of the soldiers. That's the number of troops for the two integrated brigades.

"Now Hunan is ours, and the Yangtze River waterway is also owned by our army. As long as we can reach the Yangtze River, Hanzhong will be able to get in direct contact with the king. ”

At the first-level military meeting of the battalion of the [First Integrated Division] in Hanzhong, Zhang Zhongkui said this to the fifty or sixty middle and senior officers under the rostrum. It can also be said that the military tasks for the next stage of the 1st Integrated Division have been arranged.

Since the war situation in Hunan was tense, the troops in Hubei could no longer take care of Hanzhong, and the Song Qing Department in Henan was also transferred to the Henan-Anhui border, and the only enemies in Hanzhong were Tang Yougeng in Sichuan and many armies in Shaanxi. The military pressure was greatly reduced, because the military progress of the Qin army in the south was smooth, and the soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong saw the hope of victory. Not to mention the strength of the army, the morale is invigorated, and the morale of the army is stable, and the combat effectiveness and Ding Zhuang, who enthusiastically joined the army, are also increasing by a large margin.

The 1st Integrated Division now has an integrated brigade and an independent brigade under its command, with a strength of nearly 25,000 men. There is also another first cavalry division in Hanzhong, with a strength of 8,000 cavalry, and with the local police, the entire Hanzhong army has reached 35,000 troops. However, because of the enemy on all sides and the shortage of heavy artillery firepower, Zhang Zhongkuikong held more than 30,000 troops, but only took southern Shaanxi plus a part of northeastern Sichuan. Hubei has only swept a little edge in Yunyang, and Henan has not touched an inch of land.

Zhang Zhongkui wanted to say in his heart that it was impossible not to be aggrieved. When the Qin army started the strategy in Jiangxi and Hunan, the strength was not as strong as in their own hands. But the multi-army army in the north really cannot be underestimated. As the hardcore descendant force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the infantry combat effectiveness of the multi-army army was not stronger than that of the Sichuan army, but the artillery fire was sharp. And there were a large number of cavalry troops, which firmly attracted half of Zhang Zhongkui's forces to the northern front.

In this way, coupled with the strategy of Sichuan, Hubei and Henan, although Zhang Zhongkui hit Tang Yougeng as the first time, the advantage of multi-way attack is indelible, Hanzhong is a tiger facing wolves, and it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other.

More often than not, Zhang Zhongkui feels like a prey in a net. With all the strength of his body, he couldn't open the big net that was entwining him.

Li Changle, Song Qing, and Tang Yougeng are all cadres who came out of the battlefield, Lei Zhengwan and Tao Maolin are not vegetarian monks, and there are strong material, financial and human resources behind them.

Now the opportunity is in front of Zhang Zhongkui. The change of hands in Jiangxi and the great changes in Hunan, because of the shock of Yunnan and Guizhou, made the three provinces of Sichuan, Henan and Hubei have no choice but to withdraw their troops, which is simply exposing their white little belly to Hanzhong without concealment. If Zhang Zhongkui can't seize this opportunity, he won't even be as good as a mediocre talent. 、

However, even with such a good opportunity, Zhang Zhongkui was still only able to use more than 10,000 troops, of which the cavalry as a fist force was only 3,000 cavalry.

The commander of the vanguard unit was Yang Shaonan, a capable man who had stepped up to the battalion level as a military commander during the war.

As soon as the order for the army to attack, Yang Shaonan led the troops to attack from Bazhou to Suiding Mansion first. The Sichuan army stationed in Suiding could not be stopped. In three days, Yang Shaonan was forced to Daxian.

And if the Qin army can capture Daxian, and then enter the county from Daxian, and then the army will go down to Wanzhou, then it can march east along the Yangtze River and sweep the Kuizhou Mansion all the way.

The sun sets and the night begins to rule the land.

The atmosphere in the county seat of Daxian County was eerie, and the outline of the bunker that could be seen in the night had almost disappeared without a trace, and all that remained was a barren, scorched black, and a ruined wall.

This is now Da County, the capital of Suiding Prefecture. A strong defensive place of the Qing army that has been repeatedly reinforced and repaired in the past year. Because after Suiding, it is Kuizhou Mansion, and Kuizhou Mansion is the gateway between Central Sichuan and Hubei.

Haiyin, the new left deputy commander of the Eight Banners stationed in Chengdu, was personally stationed here, and the Daxian assassins were still completely shrouded in frustration. In the offensive of the Qin army during the day, the artillery of the Qin army only played a covering role, but one by one, one by one, one by one, the assault teams, and the pillboxes and fortifications on the periphery of Da County became the tombs of the Qing army.

The entire position on the Western Front turned into a huge and terrifying Shura hell. The seemingly impregnable forts and pillboxes are as vulnerable as piles of sand. Although I didn't expect Qin Jun's iron fist to be so powerful, this punch was so ruthless and accurate that the defenders of Daxian County were scattered.

Astound! Astound!

Apart from shock, Haiyin couldn't find any other adjectives to describe his mood at the moment. Who would have thought that the reinforced concrete fortifications designed and built by the French would be destroyed by a team of people. Haiyin still vividly remembers the day when all the fortifications were completed in July, when the French engineers boasted in front of him that Haikou could not pose a threat to the fortifications of Daxian without heavy artillery of more than 120mm caliber.

"I'm x his legs!" In the flower hall, Haiyin scolded in front of everyone. This nightmarish result made everyone lose their souls.

That's what Fu Antai thinks. He would rather it be a nightmare, a nightmare of the Qing Empire. And not the harsh reality. This reality is too cruel for him to accept.

Daxian can't stop the Qin army's offensive, can other places stop it? If the Qin army is killed on the edge of the Yangtze River, this Sichuan will be a standard 'pit'!

There is Hanzhong in the north, Kuizhou in the east, and Yungui in the south. Sichuan is completely isolated!

This cruel reality made him feel a little dazed.

At midnight. The battlefield had been completely silent for a day, and apart from a few small cannon shots in the distance, there was hardly any sound to be heard, and even the wounded and sick on both sides suppressed their groans and waited quietly in the darkness for dawn.

As the pipe band of the Sichuan New Army, Fu Antai did not sleep and rest, but appeared on the positions of his subordinates. He was indeed very tired from the battles and blows of this day, but considering the Qin army's penchant for night raids, he had to cheer up.

With a revolver in his hand, Fu Antai walked in the darkness of the night, and now the moonlight was barely visible in the night sky. Under such light conditions, he didn't dare to light the lamp and leak the position, so he could only grope his way forward, which made his forward progress very slow.

said that it is a position, but it is actually the first line of Xicheng in Daxian County. The front of the position only protruded less than 100 meters from the city wall, and the head of Haiyin's camp was on this willow-leaf-like position.

The ground had been plowed beyond recognition by artillery fire, and there were craters and craters everywhere.

In the daytime battle, the Qin attacking forces used several heavy short guns, which fired at a very close range and with a low barrel. The Qin army attacked with a tunnel, and the artillery was hiding in the tunnel, and the Qing army could not observe it at all. But the sound of the shell when it exploded was truly shattering.

And this short artillery transfer is also very fast, after the Qing army was bombarded, immediately called the artillery team behind it to suppress, but none of them succeeded.

Fu Antai and even Haiyin himself, all the commanders of the Qing army had a headache about this.

After walking around the position, Fu Antai really couldn't hold on. It flashed into a certain section of the trench that served as the headquarters. The top of this trench is covered with wood, and it is possible to light a fire here. The campfire is strong, and it keeps the place warm.

There were already several officers lying inside at this time, one by one, wrapped in thick quilts, and shouting everywhere. Fu Antai lay on his bed, and soon fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but an explosion outside woke him up. Looking at the sky, it is not bright at all.

Most of the soldiers woke up from their slumber without the need for an order from an officer, and some of them were so nervous that they even picked up their rifles and opened fire on the outside of the trenches as soon as they woke up. At the same time, the Qing soldiers on duty at night also immediately sent a few fireworks 'flares' into the sky, and the bright flares illuminated the front of the entire position, and the soldiers of the Qin army who had just been discovered by the Qing soldiers on duty at night were naturally all exposed to the sight of the Qing soldiers.

"Fuck it!"

On the Qin army's position, Zhang Zhongkui scolded fiercely.

Gunfire rang out on the battlefield. The shouts of the Qin soldiers were vaguely heard in the back.

"Rush—"

"Forward, forward!"

The Qin army really launched a night attack. Hundreds of Qin soldiers in black uniforms immediately dispersed as soon as they were discovered, and they scattered into sporadic squads with rifles with bayonets on them, rushing towards the Qing army's position like a large net. R1152
