"Brother Xiaolian Yunjian, Beiyang was brutal, and the soldiers set fire to Hankou when they set fire, causing nearly half of the houses in the city to turn into ashes, and the people were not able to make a living, and they were all over the wilderness. When the three towns of Wuchang were in danger, fortunately, Brother Xiaolian stepped forward and personally led the army of tigers and wolves under his command, armed with ironclad warships, and sent troops to aid Hubei. At the time of crisis, we turned the tide, defeated the Beiyang Army in Hankou, frustrated the arrogance of the Qing army, and the morale of the revolutionary aspirants! He is indeed a hero of the Chinese revolution! Today, the situation in Hanyang is in crisis, thanks to the bloody battle of Brother Xiaolian to retreat from the enemy. Suddenly, the governors of various provinces called for peace talks, and Brother Xiaolian was on the front line of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and his tiger Ben fought bloodily and fought hard to kill the enemy. However, only Brother Xiaolian has never expressed his position, Yuan Zhimi made Wang Zhaoming in Han, and asked Brother Xiaolian to make a quick judgment on the issue of peace talks! Song Qing is in Han, looking forward to welcoming Brother Xiaolian. ”

A telegram went down, and Li Yuanhong, who gritted his teeth, couldn't help but burst into tears. He knew that this telegram would go down, and as soon as the Anhui army arrived, the three towns of Wuchang would not have the final say. Oh, to be precise, two towns, Hankou is still in the hands of the Beiyang Army.

"It is better to give a house slave than to a foreigner! You Huang Xing and Chen Qimei did the first year of junior high school, and I Li Yuanhong did the fifteenth! Your alliance will be unkind first, so don't blame me for being unjust! ”

Li Yuanhong's face was gloomy, and he muttered through gritted teeth.

Sun Wu and other military and political dignitaries around him were gloomy for a while. While hating the alliance for crossing the river and demolishing bridges and falling into the well, he also worried about the fate he was waiting for.

This Anhui army lives in the three towns of Wuchang, can they, the old men of the Wuchang military government, still be able to stay?

In the sound of tick-tock telegrams, Li Yuanhong's telegram quickly reached the hands of the provincial governors. In the uproar, Hu Rui, who was far away in Wuhu, Anhui Province, daxiao three times, relieved. However, Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, and others, who were actively seeking peace talks between the north and the south in Shanghai, changed color in a daze.

This Li Yuanhong completely tore his face and prepared to burn the jade.

"Bang dang!"

"Little Red Guy! This little red guy in the countryside of Anhui! ”

Inside the study. Chen Qimei grabbed her favorite snuffbox on weekdays, fell to the ground with a bang, and scolded angrily.

Last time, for the arms in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Qimei was knocked out of the bamboo pole, and it took nearly two million Long Yang before and after to finally buy the ordnance in the inventory in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. In addition, when the Anhui army withdrew from Shanghai, it easily occupied the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which made Chen Qimei, who was eager to expand the Shanghai army, very annoyed, and since then he has been extremely disgusted with the one in Anhui. Li Yuanhong and Hu Rui, who have always been ignored and excluded by the alliance this time, teamed up to make such a play, which undoubtedly slapped him Chen Qimei hard. This made Chen Qimei furious.

In Shanghai, the group of people in the League jumped up and down, making a lot of noise, but they didn't know that it was the Anhui Revolutionary Army that was fighting and killed the Beiyang Army now. Without the nod of Anhui Hu Rui, this so-called north-south peace talks would be a joke! This can be ignored by the Shanghai side. But Li Yuanhong saw it very clearly.

Just when Chen Qimei was thundering in the study, Hu Rui, who was far away in Wuhu, immediately hit the snake and hit the stick. Homeopathic announcement. At the invitation of Li Yuanhong, the governor of Wuchang, the Anhui Revolutionary Army sent troops to Wuchang again to completely wipe out the Beiyang Army in Hanyang! At the same time, Hu Rui, commander-in-chief of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, and Hu Xiaolian, governor of Anhui, personally went to Wuchang to discuss in detail with the governor of Li Du on the issue of peace talks between the north and the south.

As soon as the power came out, the governors of the provinces who jumped up and down with Shanghai for a while. Immediately quieted down. On the front line is the Anhui army, the north-south peace talks, ceasefire, truce is the key, the Anhui army does not nod. What else is this talking about?!

All of a sudden, because of these two telegrams, the revolutionary parties in the south quarreled again. Compared with the time when the interests of the provisional government were carved up in Shanghai, the quarrel was even more intense. The peace between the north and the south cannot be reconciled, the provisional government is the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the interests of the various families discussed before and the official position will naturally be unable to be fulfilled, can this still sit still? !

At the same time, the one who was dormant in the Beijing State Guest House looked at the noisy south and smiled happily. For this tyrant who has the wishful thinking of "promoting peace with war and taking the world lightly", the more infighting and chaotic the group of revolutionary parties in the south is, the more beneficial it will be to him! It was also at this time that Yuan Shikai, who had been Rong Ma all his life, officially recorded the name Hu Rui in his mind.

"Report to the commander, the Jiangfang gunboat team and a regiment of marines stationed in Jiujiang have taken the lead in setting off to reinforce Hankou first!"

"Marshal, the second regiment stationed in Hanyang has been contacted! Together with the student soldiers, death squads, and personnel of the Wuchang military government organs who came to help in the battle, the total number of casualties is now more than 400 people, and the main force of the 3rd Regiment and the 75th Mountain Artillery Battalion are intact! Commander Su said that he had received a telegram from the support troops, asking the commander-in-chief to let him go, and the people were in the position! The entire Third Regiment vows to live and die with Kameyama! ”

"Commander, twenty landing craft carrying a regiment of marines have arrived at the designated position! At present, the Jiang Yuan ship, the Chu Yu ship, the Chu Qian ship, and the Chu You ship, as well as the Jiang Defense gunboat fleet and two comprehensive supply ships, are covering the target area with artillery fire! As soon as the shelling is over, the Marines can land behind enemy lines! ”

"Marshal, the Fifth Division of our army stationed in Jiujiang and the artillery of the fortress have jointly called, the river in front has been completely emptied, please rest assured that the fleet will drive. I wish our army a victorious start and success! ”……

In the headquarters on the Jingqing ship, the telecommunications room and the intelligence staff were busy, sorting out the information sent by various parties and quickly reporting it. The combat staff officers gathered in front of the sand table were busy interpolating the positions of the participating units and the corresponding data on the sand table.

In the Yangtze River fleet, the largest warships are the two cruisers Hairong and Haichen, with a full load displacement of more than 2,800 tons. However, these two Haizi-class cruisers are combat ships after all, and although their tonnage is larger than that of other ships in the Yangtze River Fleet, they did not consider the need to serve as flagships when they were designed and built. Therefore, the cabins are not spacious, and it is difficult to accommodate a large number of personnel of the headquarters and the corresponding communication and living facilities. In such a situation, the Jingqing ship, as a training ship, was quickly locked by Hu Rui, although the ship was a little older, but the cabin was spacious. The cabin that had been placed on the cadets was partially requisitioned, and after some modifications according to the actual use needs, it was able to accommodate the entry of the headquarters.

"Dashuai, this Li Songqing is really hot this time. Look, this is going to burn the jade. Hey, he's aware of current affairs, too! It was our Anhui Revolutionary Army that entered the country and fought on the front line with the Beiyang Army, and it is also a fact that the mouth cannons in Shanghai ignore it! If we want to negotiate peace between the north and the south, we must first nod our Anhui Revolutionary Army! This Li Songqing asked Mr. to lead the troops into Han, in fact, he took the three towns of Wuchang in exchange for our support, he Li Songqing and we are tied together, and he has enough strength to compete with the Shanghai side! ”

Guan Ziqing twisted his beard and said excitedly.

The alliance will play a good hand in Shanghai, which is really inferior! Not to mention the split within the Southern Revolutionary Party. The governors of the provinces, who were already in tune with each other, fought for the sake of various positions and interests of the provisional government, which undoubtedly left a gap for Beiyang! You must know that this will be before the Manchu Qing Dynasty is defeated, and this will begin to distribute the spoils, which really makes the people of the world feel cold. The Anhui army went up and down. Even more disgust and disgust!

Under the influence of Hu Rui, the Anhui army despised the alliance with low eyes and masters, and specialized in fooling others to sell their lives. In private, he even got the nickname of "Cannon Party". Specifically satirizing the Alliance, it will just talk about it. The act of firing a large cannon. This incident undoubtedly completely angered the Anhui Army, Nima, it was us who were desperate on the front line and the Beiyang Army! If you want peace talks between the north and the south, why don't you say hello and ignore us like air?! All right! Before, when the Beiyang Army was in a rage, I didn't see you jumping out. Now that we've defeated Beiyang, you're starting to jump out and pick peaches, whatever! As for the National Governors' Congress, this Manchu Qing has not yet been defeated. I began to think about dividing the spoils! Besides, Shanghai and Nanjing are still our marshals who led our Anhui army to recover! You Chen Qimei will jump up and down vividly, I don't know who was greedy for merit and was detained in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau? ! Without our handsome man to rescue you, would you be able to have today?! Something that crosses the river and demolishes the bridge!

Thinking of parallel time and space, some of the actions of the chairman of the committee more than ten years later, Hu Rui couldn't help but sigh in his dryness:

"If it's really a fish looking for a fish, a shrimp looking for a shrimp, and a turtle looking for a king! It's not a family, it's not a family! Nima, it is a virtue to be free! ”

"The more such a person is, the more he must be on guard, because he can endure it! But all those who can bend and stretch are quite deep in the city, and they know and endure for a while, in order to plan for the future. Before you don't have enough strength, you choose to bow your head and forbear, in order to think about the future. Just look at Yuan Xiangcheng's fishing back then, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! ”

Hu Rui sneered, waved his hand, and secretly sighed in his heart that Li Yuanhong was not a simple person.

"What the marshal said is very true, and the students have been taught. The students think that according to your deployment, it is now a safe thing for us to defeat Feng Guozhang and recapture Hankou. The cronies sent by his Yuan Xiangcheng are in Wuchang, should the focus of our work be on this Wang Jingwei? How to grasp this Wang Jingwei in his hands, and then grasp the initiative of He Tan. ”

Guan Ziqing pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.

"This Wangwang Bird is also a very ambitious guy! is definitely not the lord who is willing to be the queen, although Yuan Keding, the eldest son of Yuan Xiangcheng, is his sworn brother, but looking at Yuan Keding, he is self-defeating, greedy, short-sighted, reckless, and brutal, I am afraid that he has been calculated by others and used as a stepping stone. This Wangwang bird is definitely not a good bird, and he can come as a close confidant of Yuan Xiangcheng in this north-south peace talks, which shows that this bad bird also has two brushes. With such an opportunity this time, can he not find a way to put some gold on himself and give himself some benefits? ”

When it came to Wangwang Bird, Hu Rui couldn't help but feel unhappy. In parallel history, this product was a well-known traitor, and the Wang puppet regime was originally a saddle before and after the horse to rectify the place for the Oriental dwarf and serve the war of aggression against China.

As one of the four handsome guys in the Republic of China, Wangwangniao was born with a good skin, and he was a little better than when the chairman was young. Before the Xinhai Revolution, he boldly assassinated the regent, and after his arrest, he left "generous Geyan City, calmly as a prisoner of Chu." Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the boy's head. The poem was widely praised at the time. But Wangwangniao's ambition is not covered, not to mention the open and secret fight with the chairman of the committee, Zuihou even set up the Guangzhou National Government in Guangzhou, and the Nanjing National Government under the leadership of the chairman of the committee to fight against each other, so that Haohaode Northern Expedition had to be temporarily stopped. After Wangwangniao was cleaned up by the chairman of the committee and the national government was merged, there was a second Northern Expedition. It can be seen that this product is also a master with low eyes, and his ability, financial resources and ambition are extremely asymmetrical!

"Poof~ Ahem, by the way, Yang Shiqi, who was sent by Yuan Shikai to test you, also arrived in Wuhu, clamoring to see you all day long. How to arrange. You give me a word! ”

Sanniang on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"Yang Shiqi...... It seems that this person has an elder brother named Yang Shixiang, who was the number one strategist under Li Zhongtang back then. Both of these brothers are arrogant masters, and they talk like cannons, ignoring him! His old Yuan has a wait-and-see attitude towards the war in the three towns of Wuchang, the purpose is to see if he Feng Guozhang can hurt me, so that I can be raised until I am raised badly. Knowing that it hurts, his Yang Shiqi's work will be easy to do. Hmph, it's a good calculation! Don't bird him, arrange this product to visit the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and you can go to the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau to see it when you are done. It just so happens that the second phase of the expansion project of the Manufacturing Bureau is still underway, and we are also showing off our muscles. Don't bird him first! I first figured out how to catch the Wangwang bird. Seize the initiative in the North-South peace talks. ”

Hu Rui touched his chin and pouted.

"What the marshal said is very true. I think that the Qing Kingdom would be that year. If you lose a battle, you will come to negotiate, and if you can't win on the battlefield, you will be slaughtered at the negotiation table! This negotiation really requires capital. Hmph, I'm afraid that this time the Shanghai side will shout loudly, and there will be no way to return to the sky. ”

Guan Ziqing and a group of masters. stroked his palm, and hurriedly nodded in praise.

"Sanniang, what's the news on the other side of Beiyang?"

Hu Rui waved his hand, then turned his head and asked.

"Beijing station to report. According to the internal information of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shikai was noncommittal to Feng Guozhang's request for more troops, and now he almost ignored it, except for another telegram to Feng Guozhang not to attack Wuchang, and completely acquiesced in what happened in the direction of Hanyang. Last night, Wuchang Station also sent a secret telegram, and Li Yuanhong also had a showdown with Wang Jingwei in Wuchang at the same time as the power was turned on. At present, the other side of Shanghai is shouting loudly and vigorously demanding peace talks. Wu Tingfang even used the US Consulate to deliver news to Yuan Shikai, hoping to negotiate peace in Shanghai. Yuan Shikai has preliminarily selected Tang Shaoyi to lead the team and go south to take charge of peace talks. According to the secret report, it will depart on the 9th of this month at the latest. ”

Sanniang replied seriously.

"Tut-tut, the lineup is quite strong, Tang Shaochuan personally led the team. Shanghai is definitely going to be yellow, this Tang Shaochuan is not confused, who can have the final say at the moment, he knows it in his heart. When the results come out from Hanyang, we will be justified. ”

Hu Rui still has a deep impression of this bigwig who was the first prime minister of the Republic of China in parallel time and space. Although this product is not guaranteed in the evening and has become a pro-Japanese faction, it has to be said that this product is still very capable in diplomacy and personal vision.

"Dada......"

Makqin's trademark clatter resounded throughout the battlefield. In the continuous fierce fighting, the front of the Guishan position has been completely unrecognizable by artillery fire and repeated charges by the Beiyang Army.

"Fire cover, grenadiers and mortars quickly knock out the enemy's machine guns!"

In the face of the bullets fired by the Beiyang Army, Su Dingkun, commander of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Anhui Revolutionary Army stationed on Guishan, grabbed a submachine gun and bent over with red eyes, shouting and rushing to the front line.

In those days, it was not for nothing that the Beiyang Army was called the strongest army in China. Positional warfare is the most test of an army's combat effectiveness, and Ma Jizeng on the opposite side personally led a mixed association, under the cover of a 75 artillery standard (regiment) supported by Feng Guozhang, to launch a continuous onslaught on the defenders of Guishan.

An artillery battalion under the direct jurisdiction of the mixed association, plus an artillery standard for indifferent fire support, is not only a four-gun artillery company, but also a full forty-eight artillery pieces!

After days of fierce fighting, the Beiyang Army, which had been in the army for a long time, began to gradually show its superiority in military quality. Zhou Dashan, the commander of the three regiments and one battalion arranged on the frontal position, was wounded by the cold gun of the Beiyang Army when he was counterattacking, and the bullet pierced the lobe of the lung, and his life hung by a thread. Battalion instructor Wang Xiaoshan was replacing the wounded machine gunner, and when he was operating the machine gun, he was also shot in the forehead and died on the spot! In the close-range rifle shooting, the Beiyang Army and the Anhui Army, which also applied the new type of fast guns, firmly gained the upper hand in terms of rate of fire and accuracy. As a newly established unit, the Fourth Division is far from being comparable with the Beiyang veterans in terms of military quality, and if it were not for the superiority of submachine guns, grenades, grenades, and other melee weapons, the casualties in the battle would have been greater.

"Dada......"

In the center of the position, the concentrated Makqin heavy machine guns roared like madness under the operation of the shooter, and the chain of 200 canvas bullets was exhausted in less than a moment. Inside the trenches, where water and blood mixed with minced flesh and dirt, a thick layer of bullet casings piled up. Six Makqin heavy machine guns hid in the reinforced civil fortifications, arranged in a fan-shape, twisting their thick bodies, constantly swallowing tongues of fire, harvesting the lives in front of the position. The Beiyang Army, which was charging ahead, was swept down in a large area like wheat.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

The ZB30 light machine gun attached to the squad also served as a supplement to the vitality, constantly firing at the Beiyang Army, which had begun to scatter in formation. As a light machine gun, this improved light machine gun, which was copied from the later Czech ZB30, is simply unspeakable in terms of accuracy and reliability. A magazine of 30 rounds, a long burst shot, and the bullets tend to be concentrated on a few people in the queue. Since the defensive battle of Hanyang, the Beiyang Army has been in a lot of trouble in front of this light machine gun.

"Retreat! Fall back! Retreat! ”

After cutting wheat and being swept down in front of the defenders' positions, in the face of tragic casualties and a rain of bullets, the Beiyang Army could no longer support it. The officer who led the group brandished a Browning pistol and shouted loudly.

"Bang!"

The sniper, who had been dormant for a long time, quickly caught his eye on the officer who was giving orders from the scope. Under the winter sun, on the gray military uniform of the Beiyang Army, the metal ranks on the shoulders glistened in the sun. With a gunshot, his head was blown off without warning like a watermelon. The lethality of the new pointed bullet was extremely amazing, the mutilated head fell to the ground with a heavy body, and the yellow and white brains accompanied by blood sprayed the surrounding soldiers.

"Hurry up!"

The retreat quickly turned into a rout, and this time there was no need for any officer to greet them, and the remaining officers and soldiers immediately lowered their bodies and ran towards the starting position in a hurry. For fear of taking a slow step and being caught up by the bullets behind him.

"Bastard!"

On the starting position of the Beiyang Army, Ma Jizeng, the co-commander, angrily threw the dead binoculars in his hand. This is the thirty-sixth attack!

The Beiyang Army retreated, and the Anhui Revolutionary Army on the Guishan position was also unable to pursue, and the battlefield quickly fell silent, with only scattered bullet casings and corpses like a hill, showing the fierceness of the previous battle.

"Regiment commander, the Jiangfang gunboat team is in a hurry, and the first regiment of our marines has successfully landed behind the position of the Beiyang Army in Hanyang under the cover of four gunboats!" (To be continued......)
