On the side of the people's army, the attacking phalanx in teams has been lined up.

Liu Yutang, the second assistant commander of the Hunan Army, looked at the young faces of thousands of officers and soldiers under his hands, and then looked at the Qing army that was already waiting in the distance, and after a little hesitation, he pulled out his command knife: "Drive out the Tartars, restore China, kill, brothers!" ”

The earth-shattering cry also roared from the heaving chests of nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Association: "Kill! ”

According to the beating of the marching band drummers, the attacking phalanx stepped on the drum beat and pressed towards the defensive position of the Qing army with great momentum.

As the attacking phalanx approached the position of the Qing army, the officers and men of the Second Association in the phalanx all felt that trace of tension. The brain began to stop thinking, and all eyes were fixed on the enemy in front of them, but the body continued to move on to the beat of the drum as if it were conditioned.

One hundred meters, the enemy still did not fire, and the face of the Qing army on the opposite side was clearly visible. This made people consciously or unconsciously produce a kind of suppressed emotion, and the officers and men of the Second Association even had the illusion of being shot at the execution ground, because they were all waiting for the enemy's gunfire to sound.

Although he was arranged to stay in the Bo'ai Academy, Wang Zhenyu chose to leave the officers and soldiers of the battalion in the academy to organize the defense, and he and Ma Xicheng came up. Now he is following Wang Longzhong, holding a German-made Zeiss telescope and watching everything on the battlefield. The Qing army on the opposite side was worthy of being the elite Beiyang Army, and the enemy entered the distance of a hundred meters and still did not shoot. This is really an eye-opener, if he has such an army in hand, it is estimated that not only will the survival problem be solved, but there will be no place in the world to go, Wang Zhenyu can't help but secretly envy in his heart.

At this time, Wang Longzhong put down the telescope in his hand, shook his head and said: "Liu Yutang, this kid is estimated to suffer a little loss this time, and the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side are not good stubble. However, the jade belt gate should still be able to be taken down, and he Liu Yutang can be regarded as having a set of troops......"

The voice was not weak, and the long-awaited Qing army fire finally came, "Da ......Da Da

Just like millions of firecrackers were lit in later generations, Ma Jizeng's heavy machine gun was fired, and the bullets were scattered like a torrential rain on the offensive phalanx of the people's army. Such a fierce firepower made Wang Longzhong, Wang Zhenyu and others immediately stunned, this is probably not a loss, it is completely a kick on the iron plate, and the loss is big.

The officers and men of the Second Association fell in pieces like mowing grass, and more than 100 casualties were suffered in an instant. The whole attack formation was in a mess, and the officers and men stopped charging and lay down on the spot, this area had already been cleared by the Beiyang Army, and there was not even a bunker in the open area of 50 meters, and the Qing army was shooting condescendingly, and the posture of lying down could not avoid casualties.

Liu Yutang, who was in the rear formation, was also taken aback, the firepower on the opposite side was so fierce, after a cursory listening, the number of heavy machine guns alone was at least two or three co-workers, he looked back at Huang Xing suspiciously.

Huang Xing seemed to see through Liu Yutang's thoughts: "Brother Yutang, let the brothers rush harder, the enemy on the opposite side is the firepower, guarding such a large ammunition depot as the Yudaimen, it is not uncommon to make a town's firepower configuration."

Liu Yutang's face turned red, and after thinking about it, he immediately called the adjutant: "Quick, immediately organize a death squad, and you must attack it." ”

A hundred-man death squad of the Second Association immediately dispersed and launched an assault on the Qing army's position at the most astonishing speed. The officers of the other units of the Second Association also immediately began to urge their soldiers to stand up and attack.

This death squad really kept the Qing army busy for a while, after all, hundreds of people scattered and rushed over, and thirty machine guns couldn't take care of it for a while, but don't forget, there were nearly a thousand Beiyang infantry in the trenches under the railway embankment, and now it was their turn to shoot and roll call.

These Beiyang soldiers are worthy of being the elite trained by Yuan Gongbao, and the biggest difference from the old army is that they have a high level of shooting and are bold. In other words, the face of war is much more professional than other Chinese armies of the same era, and the bullets that come out are almost biting the flesh.

The officers and soldiers of the death squad rushed to the Qing army's position one after another, although they all regarded death as home, and their spirit was enough to inspire the sun and the moon, but they could not dodge the criminal bullets.

With a reluctant revolutionary officer in Zuihou shot and fell to the ground, the offensive that had been organized with great difficulty was easily crushed.

Wang Zhenyu thought about it, alas, if only there were grenades or artillery, the two are the same, and the defensive position in front of him will not be so difficult to fight. But artillery aside, the grenade seems to have appeared in the Russo-Japanese War, but the new army Weishenme is not equipped? You know, this little thing was a must-have weapon for warlords of all walks of life during the warlord melee of the Republic of China.

Wang Zhenyu was thinking about it, but the officers and men of the Second Association had slowly retreated back to their starting positions, and their morale was seriously damaged. In this wave of attacks, even the Qing army's position was not touched, and more than 400 people were lost, accounting for 10% of the total strength of the Second Association. With such heavy casualties, the remaining officers and soldiers were unwilling to face such fierce firepower of the other side, no matter how much the officers instigated.

Wang Zhenyu finally broke away from the history textbook and truly felt the strong combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army. The cowhide is not blown, the train is not pushed, it is worthy of the famous reactionary army that has been repeatedly criticized in history textbooks, and the reactionary people have capital, and the combat effectiveness is not ordinary fierce.

And in the headquarters, Huang Xing suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. In the face of such ferocious firepower, such a fierce soldier, he didn't know what to do when he kicked the iron plate.

Liu Yutang was busy counting the team and comforting the wounded. Over there, Gan Xindian organized the Third Association to attack, and this old Gan was obviously shocked by the firepower of the Qing army, and shrank before the opponent's bullets were completely enough. Seeing that Huang Xing shook his head, this kind of performance is not as good as the second association.

Huang Xing could only look at Wang Longzhong, after all, everyone knew what the situation of the 4,000 people in the party was. It's all about lifting them up, at most it's just a few people to be strong, and no matter how good it is, it's a good fight or something, and don't expect more. At the moment, it is estimated that they still have to be the first to cooperate, and before playing Fraternity Academy, their third battalion performed very well.

But seeing Wang Longzhong smiling bitterly and shaking his head: "Commander-in-chief, don't look at the other party's firepower and eat bullets, just the distance from this place to the station, no matter how big the consumption is, it is not difficult to replenish it." And our only advantage now is that there are many people, and with such fierce firepower, I estimate that at least half of our 8,000 Huxiang disciples will have to be explained here. You decide, my old Wang will execute. ”

Wang Longzhong is also a wonderful person, Huang Xing's heart retreated from the bottom of his heart, and the latter sentence hung up Huang Xing's addiction.

Huang Xingyi gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone will attack together, and in one go, we must take this place." Brothers, rush! ”

More than 10,000 people's troops launched a general attack on Ma Jizeng's position, and Wang Zhenyu did not participate in this general attack. He is now a bald commander, even if he is a big-headed soldier rushing up, it is useless, and the clan uncle Wang Longzhong rushed out with Huang Xing. Watching a large area of the black pressed people's army shoot towards the Qing army like a sea, Wang Zhenyu really felt for the first time what it means to have 10,000 soldiers without a shore.

It's a pity that although the tide of 10,000 people rushed to the shore of the Qing army, it was ruthlessly smashed by its ferocious firepower.

is also depressed, if Huang Xing plays total attack at the beginning, he may be able to kill it. At first, most of the machine gunners who knew how to play from Ma Jizeng still didn't know how to play, but after these two rounds of unsuccessful attacks by the people's army, they all became veterans again. Second, the morale of the people's army was okay at that time, but now after seeing the tragic situation of the Second Association, morale has become quite unreliable.

So there was a tragic scene in front of him, which in Wang Zhenyu's view, was not a war at all, but a massacre.

The civilian army suffered a crushing defeat, with 800 casualties and failed to achieve a breakthrough, and the sky gradually darkened......

According to the record of the "History of the Xinhai War", in the battle of counterattacking Hankou in the attack on Yudaimen Station, the second assistant commander of the Hunan Army under our People's Army first launched an attack on the position of the Beiyang Army in Yudaimen, and the Qing Army relied on its firepower advantage to repel the attack of our People's Army, and countless hot-blooded men fell on the way to charge. The revolutionary officers' death squad organized by Liu Yutang, the second co-ordinator, all fell in front of the Beiyang Army's position, and the corpses were in a complete offensive formation......

It was dark all the time, and the jade belt gate could not be defeated, Huang Xing really had no choice but to order the troops to be collected. In this era, there is no such thing as night fighting, because even military beginners know that night battles cannot be played casually. Because of the quality of the army, night blindness and other reasons, the end of a night attack is often that before you can hit the other side, your own men and horses will collapse on their own because they can't find an officer. Therefore, this kind of trading with a high probability of losing money is generally something that no one dares to do. As a last resort, Huang Xing could only issue an order to withdraw and reorganize, and the military operation to counterattack Hankou was actually declared a failure.

That night, the wartime headquarters was located, Fraternity College. Huang Xing and Wang Longzhong had a fierce quarrel over whether to retreat......

"Commander-in-Chief Huang, although my old king is not a god of war, but the battle has come to this point, our most hode choice now should be to withdraw to Hanyang overnight, and it is no longer possible to raid Yudaimen. If you go back now, at least you can hold Hanyang, otherwise you will have to fight all the things here, and if you lose Hanyang, it will be all over" Wang Longzhong's big voice was the first to shout.

Huang Xing also came to the emotion: "Wang Xietong, this Yudaimen station is very important to our army, even if we all sacrifice, we must take this station." The proposal of retreat should not be mentioned again. ”

"Joke, Commander Huang, we're all here to beat up, who's going to guard Hanyang?" Wang Longzhong immediately retorted.

"Wang Xietong, how could the revolution not be sacrificed, and I, Huang Xing, don't want the revolutionary comrades to shed blood like this, but look at it, how do you see the combat effectiveness of the Qing army on the other side? If we don't take the Yudaimun Station as soon as possible, so as to cut off their back roads and cut off their supplies, we can only rely on retreating to Hanyang to carry it head-on, with our strength, can we withstand it? Can you handle it? Huang Xing also made a fuss.

At this time, the tall Liu Yutang stood up: "Commander Huang, my old Liu is different from him Wang Longzhong, I am not afraid of death, how do you say tomorrow?" My old Liu was the first to go up. ”

Wang Longzhong was furious when he heard this: "Liu Manzi, who are you afraid of death?" ”

Liu Yutang has always been on the wrong path with Wang Longzhong, and the two immediately collided chest to chest, and they both glared at each other angrily, their eyes as if they were about to breathe fire. If it weren't for Li Shucheng, Gan Xindian and the others reacted quickly, one hugged the other, and the two sides almost fought on the spot.

Wang Longzhong shook off Gan Xindian's pull and said angrily to Huang Xing: "I, Wang Longzhong, also know that the military order is like a mountain, but Commander Huang, your order to send the brothers to death, forgive Wang Wang can't help it, tomorrow you will be as you like, and my old Wang will cheer everyone up." Whoever wants to send him to death, my Wang will never stop him, this kind of confused account, I can't accompany Wang. ”

That means that my brother won't play with you tomorrow, Liu Yutang immediately shouted: "It's a shame that you are still nicknamed Wang Daring, and you have lost the face of our Hunan army, you can't go up, right?" Without you, Lao Tzu would still be able to storm this station tomorrow. I still don't believe it, without your king butcher, I still have to eat hairy pigs. ”

Wang Longzhong glared at Liu Yutang fiercely, didn't say anything, and rushed out of the house directly.

Gan Xindian hurriedly said to Huang Xing: "Our brother of the Xiang army is such a temper tantrum, it's okay after the quarrel, Commander Huang doesn't have to worry about it." It's just that Wang Xietong's words are not wrong, they haven't been defeated today, how can we defeat them tomorrow, and after a night, the reinforcements of the Tartars are estimated to come up later. Commander Huang, look at ......"
