"Da Da Da ......"

Maxim's trademark clatter rang out over the narrow, dilapidated streets, and a short burst of fire hit the curbside in warning, sparks flying everywhere.

"We are the Anhui Revolutionary Army that came to the aid of Hubei! Don't get me wrong, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the bullets don't have long eyes, dare to ask which officer is the leader of the team? ”

After Makqin's warning shot, the instructor of this security internal guard force took the lead in standing up and asked questions with his fists clenched.

The squadron leader led the three squads under his command and quickly occupied the favorable terrain, and mortars, MG08s, and sniper rifles were all scattered, relying on each other to form a defensive formation. MG08/15 as a lightweight heavy machine gun, before the invention of light and heavy machine guns, can be regarded as the most perfect combination of firepower, portability, and weight. This portable machine gun, which was invented by the German army in parallel time and space, and then shined in trench warfare in the middle and late stages of World War I, accompanied by the tactics of the Storm Commando, has long become the standard equipment of the security internal guard forces and guard forces! This bipod-mounted, water-cooled heavy machine gun can be carried by a single soldier on the march, and can even be fired on the march.

According to the establishment, one squadron (company level) of the security and internal security forces has three squads (platoon level), including two infantry squads and one fire support squad. Each fire support team is equipped with 2 57mm recoilless guns, 2 60 mortars, and three MG08/15 machine guns newly produced by the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau.

Two 57mm recoilless guns and three MG08/15 machine guns have been quickly erected on the high ground, and the remaining two 60 mortars have been deployed to form a classic defensive formation.

"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! We are the patrol of the Hubei People's Army, and we are all our own people! I heard the gunshots just now and rushed over for fear of change, the brothers of the Anhui army opposite. Please lead the team out and talk about it. The brother didn't mean anything other than to ask what was going on. ”

The officer leading the team wiped his cold eyes, shivered and cautiously poked his head out, and shouted in response.

Wuchang is the land of righteousness, and it has naturally become a thorn in the eyes of the Manchu court, and it has always been the object of key care. Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army, the remnants of the Eighth Town brought out by Zhang Biao, and other Qing troops took turns to fight under the cover of naval artillery fire, and almost the entire three towns of Wuchang were soaked in blood.

What a terrible battle!

After the Wuchang uprising, the Hubei People's Army relied on all kinds of rifles and artillery stored in the Chuwangtai armory, and once expanded to 60,000 people. But in almost a month of defensive battles. Both the former veterans and the recruits recruited after the uprising suffered heavy casualties. Coupled with Huang Xing's blind command, the counterattack on Hankou alone, more than 3,000 revolutionary troops were killed and drowned by the Qing army.

In such a tragic war situation. Those who survived made the veteran oil. In addition to good luck, the insight is naturally not bad. The patrol of the Hubei People's Army on the opposite side was about twenty people. It is almost the strength of more than one shed (squad) of the new army. The leader was a lieutenant. As soon as the gunshot rang out just now, he instinctively quickly lay down, and the moment he lay down, he reached a few rolls and hid in the corner.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the new army was reorganized and trained, the Manchu court originally planned to add a machine gun battalion to each town (division) of the new army, and each battalion was equipped with 24 Makqin heavy machine guns. However, since the new army was basically funded and trained by the local government, it was in addition to the Beiyang Army, which was directly supported by taxes from the imperial court. The equipment of the other units of the New Army is mixed, not to mention Makqin. After the Wuchang Uprising, except for a few old-fashioned Gadlin ten-barrel hand-cranked machine guns, the revolutionary army had almost no machine guns available! fought fiercely to the death with Qing troops from all walks of life for a month. This kind of round nose is extremely cool, which makes the revolutionary army suffer tightly! He hadn't seen the two guns on the opposite wall, but he knew the three machine guns that had turned to dust!

As the officer who led the team, in the face of the firepower configuration on the opposite side, which was almost armed to the teeth, he couldn't help but think of the loud clicking sound of the Makqin machine gun. The night wind blew, and the leading officer couldn't help but shiver, lowered his posture very wisely, and discussed with the amiable one.

"Help! The Anhui army has rebelled! Hu Xiaolian fake revolution on dog days, deliberately sabotage the revolution! ”

Seeing the men and horses of the Hubei People's Army, Huang Yiou, who was still unclear about the situation, opened his throat and howled loudly.

"TMD, close your beak! If you dare to speak disrespectfully to my handsome family, be careful that the bullet does not have long eyes! ”

Hearing Huang Yiou's shout, a veteran closest to him was furious, scolding and kicking up.

Considering the particularity of the security and internal security forces, Hu Rui attaches great importance to this force, and has given the green light in terms of equipment. A pair of calfskin combat boots manufactured with reference to the 07 combat boot style, the toe cap and sole are covered with steel plates, which are anti-smashing and anti-stabbing.

kicked down and directly broke the bridge of Huang Yiou's nose, Huang Xing's son-in-law would have long since lost his domineering appearance, covering his bloody nose like a pig, wailing and rolling on the ground.

"It's Staff Officer Huang!"

With a pop, the officer leading the team sprang up and exclaimed.

His hand unconsciously touched the Colt revolver pinned to his waist. Everyone in the Hubei People's Army knew that this staff officer Huang in charge of logistics was the son of the commander-in-chief Huang Xing, so he naturally chose to turn a blind eye to some of Huang Yiou's domineering behaviors. Huang Xing's revolutionary spirit and fighting spirit as a revolutionary pioneer are worthy of recognition, but his ability is really poor, and he is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he is quite doting on this son.

"Brother, please move your hands."

The squadron instructor looked at the other party and touched the hand of the matchmaker, and reminded with a sneer.

"Our revolutionary army is a family, isn't there some misunderstanding here? This Huang staff officer is the son-in-law of the commander-in-chief Huang Xing and is in charge of logistics. Please also ask the brothers of the Anhui army to make it convenient, and if there is anything offended, please bear with me. ”

When he came back to his senses, the officer who led the team quickly put his hand back, and the three Maxims on the opposite side alone were enough to make his patrol team come and go. Under the absolute advantage, I can't afford to resist at all, so I have to try to move my head. I wondered in my heart how arrogant these young master soldiers I came back were, Commander-in-Chief Huang Xing's face still had to be given, right?!

"Good! What a misunderstanding! I don't know that Huang Keqiang knows that his son-in-law is under the banner of revolution and in the name of photovoltaics. How will you react to blackmailing innocent people, gathering crowds to rape women, blackmailing people on the street, and robbing people's women! Wuchang is the land of righteousness, and the four trillion people are awakened by the gunfire in Wuchang, but they didn't expect that the Hubei People's Army is so unbearable now! Blatantly conniving at such a bad act happened under the Lang Lang Qiankun! We're waiting to throw our heads and spill blood, what's the so-called?! What is the difference between such an act and a Manchu lackey?! Go back and tell the governor of Lidu, and say that I Hu Xiaolian is in charge of this idle matter! If the Governor of Li Du can't make this decision, then please forgive me for the crime of transgressing the law, and the Military Justice Department of the Anhui Revolutionary Army will clean up the portal on my behalf! ”

Hu Rui laughed angrily, pointed at the pleading officer and asked loudly.

A grain of rat droppings spoils a pot of soup. The banner of the revolution was soaked in the blood of countless martyrs, and no one will be allowed to defile it! The purpose of overthrowing the Manchu Qing is to let the Chinese nation once again stand tall in the forest of the Shijie nation! In order to let the sons and daughters of China no longer suffer from the slavery of the Manchu Tartars! In order for the people of the world to live a warm life with enough food and clothing!

"Are you...... Hu Xiaolian, Hu Dudu? Commander-in-Chief of the Anhui Army?! ”

The officer who led the team was scolded red-faced, but he couldn't refute it. Zuihou finally came back to his senses and asked with a pale face.

"Take all this scum with me! When the battle is over. Sent to a military court for trial! ”

Hu Rui coldly glanced at the pale leading officer, turned around and ordered.

"Yes! It's all tied. Take! ”

I have long been unaccustomed to what Huang Yiou and others did. The officers and soldiers of the internal security unit responded to the call, tied Luo Hongsheng, Huang Yiou and others with ropes like zongzi, and pulled them to prepare to be dragged away.

"A mouse is a bad pot of soup, Sanniang, let's go, go back and eat something."

Hu Rui didn't turn his head to avoid the ugliness of the scum behind him in disgust, and whispered while holding Sanniang.

"Good. It's just that I'm worried about ......"

Sanniang's eyes drifted to the point that she sat in the corner holding the broken wooden box, counting the old men of the copper dollars one by one.

"Two more people, take the old man's whole family to the dock to settle down, and imitate some scum to go back and take revenge!"

Hu Rui immediately understood. Reincarnation commanded.

The leading officer standing behind him was pale and gritted his teeth, at a loss.

"Yes, deputy, let's just watch them take Staff Officer Huang and Luo Xietong away?"

A soldier behind him asked unwillingly.

Hu Rui's words were heart-wrenching, and they were indeed a bit of a slap in the face, so that the Hubei People's Army, which had always held its own merits in the first righteousness, could not come to Taiwan.

"You know a P! Needless to say, these Anhui young master soldiers eat well, use well, and equip well! There is also a navy, and this Yangtze River is not a bird without a navy! Didn't the cannon on Turtle Mountain overturn the roof of the governor's subordinate before! If you want to blame, blame Huang Dashao and Luo Xietong for not looking at the yellow calendar when they went out, offending Hu Dudu. At present, the three towns of Wuchang and Hankou have been lost, and only half of Hanyang and our Wuchang are left. These young masters of the Anhui Army are the masters! Let's go, it's not something we're considering, report up! ”

The leading officer gritted his teeth and scolded.

When Yan Nuxia and Hu Dashuai were entangled with Huang Yiou and others. Not a single regiment of the Anhui Revolutionary Army stationed at the Guodi Mountain position in Hankou was idle, and the first battle between the Anhui Revolutionary Army and the Beiyang Army was about to start after the Northern Expedition was sworn in.

The history of World War II is very familiar to Hu Rui, and the tactics of Little Japan are not less seen in military schools! Frontal containment, flank detours or something, on the Chinese battlefield against the tactically rigid and rigid party-state army, tried and tested repeatedly! Calculated that the Beiyang Army would attack Hankou from the flank, Hu Dashuai directly threw Huang Xing's telegram ordering the Fourth Division of the Anhui Army to immediately counterattack Hanyang into the wastebasket, and ordered a regiment and a reconnaissance company to take the lead in stationing at Guodi Mountain on the flank of Meiniang Mountain, and build a position and stand by at any time!

Meiniang Mountain is the commanding height of Siping, and the comfort of Hankou's flank is all here! Out of the principle of prudence and prudence, the Anhui army's blocking position was placed on the Guodi Mountain behind Meiniang Mountain. Only a few observation posts and guard positions were set up on the forward positions to prevent a sneak attack by the Beiyang Army. The regiment was not equipped with barreled artillery, only 60 and 82 mortars and a 57-mm Grusen Type 1894 mounted mountain gun directly under the regimental headquarters.

"Quick, anti-artillery holes are set on both sides of the trenches, and they must be reinforced with sleepers! The front line is set up with a snake-bellied barbed wire. The trenches are dug deeply, and the shells of the Manchu dogs are not vegetarian! This is the first battle of our Anhui army, and it must be fought well! Call Beiyang quietly our awesome! ”

The instructor of the battalion in the trench led two guards to patrol the trenches, admonishing precautions and agitation.

In the regimental command post, which was less than 100 meters away from the forward position, Su Dingkun, commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, was carefully filtering every coordinate on the map with this dim oil lamp.

"Report to the regimental commander, the fortifications are basically set up, three lines of defense, plus foxholes and a large number of barbed wire and deer firewood. Shooting signs, machine gun bunkers, anti-artillery holes, etc., have also been fully established. Please instruct! ”

Straightening the Stern submachine gun on his shoulder, Wang Xiaoshan, the instructor of the first battalion, saluted and reported.

"Take a break, hard work. Where did this bastard run away from Zhou Dashan?! Is he, the battalion commander, ready to desert? ”

Su Dingkun is a graduate of the second phase of the training camp, one year older than the two chief officers of the first battalion. When I was in the teaching camp, I was very familiar. Before the battle, just make a joke and adjust something, it's completely hand-to-hand. As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette with a filter from the latest factory in Wuhu Industrial Park. What is it called Hongta Mountain. It's a rarity. The output is low, it is not sold publicly, and only cadres above the regimental level are distributed.

"Hehe, even if he wants to, he has to weigh it! This kid owes us about seven or eight meals, right?! If you really want to desert, even if we chase the third issue to the ends of the earth, we have to chase this bet back! You can rest assured that this cargo is setting up a cordon at the front. I'll be here in a minute! ”

Wang Xiaoshan grinned, took the cigarette, sniffed it in front of his nose, and then cherished it into the pocket of his training uniform.

"Shanzi. Look at your buckles! Take it, this bag is all for you! ”

Su Dingkun shook his head and shook over a pack of brand-new Hongta Mountain with a smile.

"Yes, thank you for your humble position!"

Wang Xiaoshan, who was overjoyed, had his eyes almost gone, and quickly put the cigarette into the breast pocket of his training uniform, for fear that the other party would regret it.

"Let's get down to business, we all know the situation of our Fourth Division, newly established and have a thin family background! There are very few veterans who have fought in the war, and new recruits account for nearly sixty percent of the total. You Wang Xiaoshan's third phase is considered an old qualification in the regiment, you have participated in the Nanjing Campaign, and the commanders of the remaining two battalions are all novices, so it is good to be able to bring the troops well! This time, you can only put your battalion on the front line, this place of Meiniang Mountain is too important, once you lose Hanyang's flanks, all of them will be exposed! ”

Su Dingkun took a big sip and said faintly.

"Hehe, don't worry, head of the regiment! Our reorganized Fourth Division is a new unit, my uncle doesn't hurt it, and my grandmother doesn't love it! The foreign chief of staff looked down on us, and the brothers of the other divisions also looked down on us. Except for the chief instructor, no one in our circle is really optimistic about us! I, Wang Xiaoshan, have been waiting for this day for too long! Hmph, I want to see how tough this Beiyang dog, known as the second-rate in Europe, is! People die in the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years, so it's a big deal to come back to the chief instructor in the next life! Not to mention anything else, as long as our battalion still has gasps, this position cannot be lost! ”

Wang Xiaoshan lit one for himself and said viciously.

The dignity of an army, a soldier, and a man must be fought by strength!

"Right now, the chief instructor is sitting in Wuchang in person, and those bastards from the Alliance and the Wuchang Provisional Military Government will definitely not give our chief instructor a good life! We sent troops to rescue Wuchang for the victory of the Chinese revolution! Let's take note of these first! Huang Xing commanded blindly here in Hanyang, and sent a telegram asking the chief instructor to hand over the command of our reorganized Fourth Division to him, and when he refused, he forced us to immediately attack the Beiyang Army on the Hanyang side! Phew, what kind of bullshit tactics are these! We are now in a state of complete isolation, and Wuchang and Hanyang are ignoring it. Although there are our warships on the riverside and there are large troops on the opposite side, how long can we hold out if we really fight against a large number of Beiyang Army? After all, it will take time for the arrival of support, and our artillery is still in Wuchang......"

Speaking of the current situation, Su Dingkun really gritted his teeth.

"Commander, are the brethren of the reconnaissance company back?"

Wang Xiaoshan snuffed out the cigarette butt and stepped on it a few times.

"Not yet, I've sent out all the reconnaissance companies at hand, and I'll first reconnoiter the enemy situation of this generation."

Su Dingkun looked at the military map on the table and replied thoughtfully.

"Report to the regiment commander, reconnaissance company report, at least one association of the Beiyang Army is heading in the direction of the year!"

The staff officer led the commander of the reconnaissance company, who was covered in mud, and rushed in shouting all the way. (To be continued......)
