Yichang battlefield. In the New Year, the officers and soldiers on both sides spent their time in the sound of gunfire.

The Qin army had already attacked in front of Li Changle's last line of defense, but whether it was mortars or rockets, it didn't have much effect in the face of the reinforced concrete fortifications outside that had thickened the old layer with logs, clay, and stones!

Therefore, the Qin army's offensive that was already overwhelming came to an abrupt halt.

Zhang Zhongkui stopped his attack after three failed attacks. The Xiangyang Station of the Military Intelligence Department sent a message to him to calm down. Zhang Zhongkui saw the hope of taking the flint slope and Changqing Mountain to the southeast of it at a small price. So he didn't move, otherwise no matter how difficult it was to fight the two mountains, Zhang Zhongkui would fight hard.

Ninety miles and a half. The Qin army has already hit here, so there is no reason to retreat.

……

Nanjin Pass bent down, in a solid bunker built of stones, Lin Lang, the deputy general of the Hanyang Association, was thinking silently around the fire, thinking about his future path!

Daqing VS Daqin......

Someone's words churned in his heart. But it's easier said than done!

At the same time, at the Xiba [the big Jiangxin Island crossed by the Gezhouba Hydropower Station, the small one is called Gezhouba], and the fleet of the Qin army was still bombarding the Qing army's river defense positions on the Nanjin Pass. Nanjin Pass is the first gorge of the Yangtze River, the width of the waterway is only more than 200 meters, it is the dividing point of the upper reaches and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Nanjin Pass itself is also the east mouth of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River! There is also the city of Yichang, which is not far away, which is also suffering from the ravages of the Qin army's shells these days. Lin Lang was not worried that the shells would fall on his head, because the bunker he was in was halfway up Nanjin Pass, which was equivalent to being on the anticline.

He is the supreme commander of the Qing army in Nanjin Pass, and of course the headquarters should be located in the safest place in Nanjin Pass.

"Your Excellency."

Lin Lang didn't know how long he had been doing it by the fire until he was woken up by his own soldiers. "Lord Wang is here and has brought a batch of wine and meat."

The soldiers didn't know that Lin Lang was most annoyed by this Lord Wang now, but he only knew that he had good food and drink again, and he was very happy.

Lin Lang closed his eyes, and just wanted to scold at his own soldiers. But he didn't dare, what stood behind Wang Renxiu was the Qin army that swept the world, if he really offended Wang Renxiu, even if he voted for the Qin army in the future, it would be bad.

The MI signboard is now miraculous in China. Many people are in the same boat, and they really regard the Military Intelligence Department as the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Lang squeezed out a smile on his face, got up and walked outside.

Born in Jinshi, he returned to his hometown four years ago because of his father's funeral, and now the governor of Hubei Yamen obeys orders and is responsible for transporting military supplies, how can such a person become a 'Jinyi Guard'? Lin Lang was puzzled, but he really didn't dare to offend him.

"Lord Lin, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it. Don't make a mistake! ”

Wang Renxiu didn't say much to Lin Lang. He appeared in front of Lin Lang from time to time, and he could already make Lin Lang Alexander. If you say more, it may overwhelm Lin Lang.

However, Wang Renxiu also felt that Lin Lang's brick was almost in his hands. It's been a few days, and after a showdown with him, I haven't seen Lin Lang denounce him, and Wang Renxiu feels that he is about to be ripe.

As one of the two military intelligence stations in Hubei, Xiangyang Station is not the only one connected by Wang Renxiu. Naturally, Lin Lang is not the only target of rebellion.

Wang Renxiu left, and Lin Lang fell into deep thought again.

Reason told Lin Lang that he would make meritorious service at this time anyway. It was in his best interest and for his family. But his feelings made him unable to let go of the Manchu Qing's 'kindness'.

Lin Lang is a farmer's son from a small farmer's family, and a native of Shinan Mansion, Hubei. Twenty years ago, he joined the army, fought life and death, and came all the way to today's position, it can be said that the official document of the governor of Hubei at that time, and the subsequent official document of the governor of Huguang, were very kind to Lin Lang.

For the vast majority of grassroots people, the most precious thing in this world is the grace of the upper peak. Unless this person is born with a cold heart and is a white-eyed wolf who forgets his righteousness, many people will not be able to step through this hurdle. Even if the official document has long ceased to be in Hubei, it has been many years.

Lin Lang is not such a person. Otherwise, according to his qualifications and merits, he would not have even gotten mixed up with the top of the general soldier. It was because the two provinces of Huguang were included in the palms of the Xianghuai Army after the official document was gone, and the old man of the official era like Lin Lang was very hit.

In the evening, Wang Renxiu's final blow to Lin Lang came. Lin Daiqun, who was covered with dust, appeared in front of his father Lin Lang. All of Lin Lang's persistence completely collapsed at this moment.

"I'm in turmoil. Lord Wang, you can arrange it! ”

The whole person has aging and vicissitudes of life in his bones, and he has lost interest in Yiqiē. It's like a master who has seen through the red dust.

Lin Daiqun's face was full of unbearable, but he always stood by Wang Renxiu's side and assisted Wang Renxiu to go through more than an hour and completely master the Nanjin Guanjiang defense position.

Five people with the same mind as Lin Lang went to be with Lin Lang. The rest of the officers hid their inner complexities, packed up their feelings, and took control of the soldiers under them seriously. When the overall situation has been decided, there must be no unnecessary trouble because of some small soldiers.

The Qin fleet on the Xiba side lowered the boats, and more than 100 sailors from various gunboats, with six 120mm heavy mortars and corresponding shells, went to the top of Nanjin Pass overnight.

In the early morning, a few remnant stars were still hanging on the edge of the pale blue sky, and the eastern sky was white.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The loud noises completely broke the calm of the Yichang battlefield.

Li Changle woke up from his sleep. But he didn't panic, it was just the sound of cannons. The Qin army could not break through the flint slope and Changqing Mountain. No matter how refreshing they played, it didn't work.

But soon the panicked soldiers broke into the house, Li Changle was furious, and there was still his heart and liver baby sleeping next to him. This soldier broke in regardless of the fact that if he was glanced at, he would suffer a great loss.

"Military gate, military gate, big things are not good. Lin Lang has surrendered to the thief, and this cannon is from Nanjin Pass to the back of Huoshipo and Changqing Mountain......"

Li Changle was like thunder, and his whole brain was confused. The anger in my heart has been thrown out of the sky.

Opposite the Qing army's position, a handful of scattered Qin army mountain infantry were hurrying to climb towards the flint slope.

In their back, Zhang Zhongkui laughed loudly. The military intelligence department really gave himself a big gift, and even said that he was against the Qing army generals, and now the shells hit the back of the defenders on the hill of the Qing army, not to mention how much damage it can cause in essence, but it is just a heavy blow to the morale and psychology of the army, which gives him the best opportunity to attack!

Mountain infantry is an organization owned by all units of the Qin army, and Hanzhong, Guangxi, Hainan, Vietnam, and Taiwan are all mountainous. Each unit is at the battalion level, and the number of mountain infantry in Hanzhong will be larger, with three or four thousand people, which is the main force of Zhang Zhongkui's campaign from Bazhou to Yichang for thousands of miles in this battle. These mountain infantry, who are good at mountain climbing and have excellent physique, can reasonably use natural bunkers such as stones, tree trunks, and potholes to protect themselves when shells and bullets come in.

Whether it is a flint slope or a long green mountain, the altitude does not exceed 300 meters. The Qin attacking force soon rushed halfway up the mountain, which was supposed to be the first line of defense of the Qin army.

However, the Qing soldiers of the two teams were trembling by the loud shells on the back mountain and the top of the mountain, and they put more thoughts on their backs, and they had no strength to make fierce resistance to the Qin army fighting in front of them.

The Qing army's troops of more than 200 people did not fire a few shots, and then retreated to the mountains in an uproar. Left the Qin army with two ten-barreled heavy machine guns, two one-inch small cannons, and a large amount of ammunition.

In the previous three attacks, although this place was not unbreached, the attacking troops paid a bloody and painful price.

"Brothers, let's enter Yichang City!"

The major officer who led the troops loudly boosted the morale of the troops. According to the bear-like picture of the Qing army, it is really not a problem for their brigade to enter Yichang City.

When the Qin army attacked to the top of the mountain, it encountered fierce resistance. Hundreds of Qin army mountain soldiers fell here forever. But this time the Qin army's explosives and rockets did not disappoint the Qin officers and soldiers, although they still could not blow up the shell of the Qing military fortifications, but the red and yellow smoke emitted after their explosion enveloped the entire Qing army's hilltop position, and within half an hour, the Qing army on the entire hilltop position lost its combat effectiveness, and was covered with wet towels, and the Qin army's mountain infantry wearing protective glasses lightly seized the battlefield.

This was the first change made by the Qin army in the face of the permanent fortifications of the Qing army at Flint Slope and Changqing Mountain. A kind of earth gas bomb offensive. The red smoke is paprika, and the yellow smoke is mustard. If you accidentally get hit, it will be miserable.

The flint slope has been taken, and the next thing is Changqing Mountain, which is the horn of each other.

At this moment, the artillery shells from Nanjin Pass have been weakened a lot, but the Qing army of Changqingshan, who did not think about preventing trouble at all, was still crying and crying by 120mm heavy mortar shells. The resistance of the Qing army at Changqingshan was not much stronger than that of the flint slope, and the two iron locks that were stuck in front of the Qin army, and the iron wall that had made Zhang Zhongkui return a few days ago, all changed hands in less than three hours in today's battle.

When the Qin army marched northeast at the foot of Changqing Mountain, crossed the Huangbai River from Xujia Village and appeared directly north of Yichang Fucheng, Li Changle was still leading his troops outside Nanjin Pass, in a dilemma.

Wave your troops to fight, the terrain of Nanjin Pass is too dangerous, and there is still the fleet of the Qin army as a helper in Xiba, and it will not be able to fight at all for a while. But if you retreat, the shells of Nanjin Pass can directly cover the city.

It was in such a situation that when Li Changle faced the Qin army troops that rushed out of the mountains in the north, the pain, wretchedness, and resentment in his heart could not be described in a thousand words.

Li Changle chose to retreat, and when the morale of his soldiers was greatly demoralized, and when Nanjin Pass had been used by the enemy, it was a mediocre act to continue to nail the Qin army in Yichang City. It's just that he doesn't know how many of the remaining eight or nine thousand troops under his command can retreat to Dangyang with him under the pursuit of the Qin army...... R1152
