On the Cihu River defense line, under the guidance of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, the only remaining more than 2,000 soldiers on the beachhead had already walked towards the opposite position with their hands held high. In the fortifications of the positions, many of the soldiers of the revolutionary army laid down their arms and pointed at the captives.

In contrast, the soldiers who walked through the middle of the fortifications looked trembling. There's no way, who called them prisoners, and this time they are the ones who take the initiative to stir up trouble—————— they still have a certain understanding of their identity, so they will naturally worry about what kind of treatment they will receive next...

On the other hand, another group of soldiers, under the instructions of their superiors, ran to the beachhead to collect the weapons thrown by these soldiers.

Although the Anhui Revolutionary Army has basically reloaded all of its Mauser 1904 rifles, it does not look down on these Martini, Kuaili guns or Hanyang-made at all. But these guns don't mean that they can't be used, at least now some local militias or something, it's still good to give them them, so in line with the principle of not wasting, those soldiers surrendered with their hands held high, and someone here has already gone to collect weapons.

After crossing several lines of defense at the Cihu River, the soldiers took the captives to the rear.

"Alright, let's take over here..." While the captives were still nervous, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of several revolutionary officers and soldiers who were leading them into the depths, and showed the orders given by the command headquarters as they spoke.

"Okay..."Seeing that someone took over, the officer who led the leader was also refreshed. The man will be handed over to you—" He said and greeted his brothers, and then turned back and left. Only the captives were left and a group of soldiers in front of them.

After the men had left, they spoke to the captives. "Just come with us, remember. Don't make trouble, and don't think about what you don't have, or our guys won't know what it means to be merciful..."

With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the captives to follow.

Hearing his words, the captives also smiled bitterly.

Most of their weapons were thrown on the beachhead, and now they were all bare-handed, albeit with a lot of people. But no matter how you think about it, you can't be the opponent of these people on the other side, not to mention that since they have all surrendered, how can you think of anything else...

So they didn't say much. Just follow behind those soldiers.

After almost two hours of walking, the captives finally came to a place, well, what to say. I don't know whether to say it's a village or a camp.

Although from the outside it looks more like an ordinary village. But the village was surrounded by a row of wooden fences, towers outside the fences, and open spaces inside the fences were littered with tents and soldiers in the same uniforms as himself.

"Sir, may I ask where this is?"

Bold, an officer ran to an officer next to him and asked cautiously, for fear of angering the other party.

Although the officer didn't look very easy to talk just now, he didn't embarrass him. Glancing at him after hearing his question, he replied coldly. "Prisoner of war camps. The place dedicated to you has already been inhabited by a lot of people, and I don't know if it can accommodate you people..."

The prisoner of war camp was built just some time ago, and it is located almost 10 miles behind the Cihu River, in a place called Miaojia Village. The people in the village have been evacuated by the local government, and the village has been vacant, just to house the prisoners of war—————— naturally, a small village will definitely not be able to live more than 5,000 prisoners of war, but afterwards the local government also made a lot of tents out of the same place, and at the same time let those prisoners of war build some simple shelters by themselves, so they can live in it for a while.

In the distance, on several towers on the periphery of the prisoner of war camp, the soldiers in charge of guarding and guarding had already seen them. It's just that the black uniforms on those people are very conspicuous, and the news of the victory on the front line has also been transmitted (there is a wireless telegraph), so the soldiers on the tower are not very nervous when they arrive, but routinely transmit the news to the prisoner of war camp, and then the prisoner of war camp sends a team of soldiers to confirm their identity.

After confirming the identities of the other party, the officers and soldiers in charge of the prisoner of war camp took over the prisoners from the hands of the soldiers and led them into the prisoner of war camp.

Then the first and most important thing was to disrupt their original organization...

Otherwise, if they continue to maintain their original structure, in case something happens again, it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, big guy, it's actually not bad to live here..."After helping a few newcomers set up their tents, an officer of the Fourth Division, who had only been captured by Liu Guangyuan not long ago, said with a smile. At least you don't need to risk your life here, and you don't need to worry about eating and drinking, but it's not very free, otherwise it's much more comfortable to live here than in Nanjing..."

"Really?" Although they listened to the officer's words, the captives still seemed to be a little worried. "They're not going to do anything to us, are they?"

"This—" touched his chin, and the officer hesitated. Probably not, at least we have been in good food since we moved in, and we haven't lacked food or anything, and nothing seems to have happened except that we are not allowed to go out..."

After pressing these captives, Yan Shao actually had a headache and didn't know what to do with them. Put them away? That must be impossible, of course, it is even more impossible to find a place for them to dig a pit, and then bury them themselves or something—————— now no matter what, public opinion is on Yan Shao's side, if it really does, it will be tantamount to helping Bai Wenwei and the Alliance.

So when there was no other way, Yan Shao and the others could only find a place to get a prisoner of war camp out and lock them up first, and this was also the biggest headache for Yan Shao.

Although almost everyone saw Bai Wenwei's reality clearly at this time, in any case, the other side had four times more troops than Yan Shao, in other words, Yan Shao's lack of troops and major generals still did not alleviate.

The soldiers that can be used now are not already in the fortifications. It can't be used lightly as a reserve, and at this time to get a prisoner of war camp, where can Yan Shao find so many soldiers to see these more than 5,000 prisoners of war?

So there is no way to do it. Yan Shao could only take free-range measures for these prisoners of war.

That is, after getting a place to put them in, and at the same time getting a battalion of people to be responsible for guarding, except for delivering food to them every day, other things basically don't matter, even the managers in the prisoner of war camp who are responsible for guarding the prisoners of war and not making trouble are selected from the officers among the prisoners of war...

Now Yan Shao only asks that before the war is over, these guys will not make any big trouble. I can't take care of anything else for the time being...

At the same time, in the fortifications of the Cihu River defense line, the soldiers also looked like they were talking and laughing. A few even sat in the trenches with their backs to the wet ground and lit cigarettes, just closing their eyes and enjoying themselves.

After experiencing the daytime fighting, not only the original nervous mood disappeared. They didn't pay much attention to the Yan army on the other side.

They didn't notice at this time. The movement of enemy troops across the river ...

————————————————————

Maybe it was because of the fate of more than 3,000 people a few days ago, so Bai Wenwei on the other side of the river was much more honest, but he was stationed there safely, and he didn't look like he wanted to act rashly.

At this scene, many officers and men were paralyzed, mistakenly thinking that the other side had been beaten by themselves—————— and it was not surprising, in fact, apart from the relatively formal training and the relatively strong will to fight, the current Anhui Revolutionary Army was not much different from the other side. Naturally, it's easier to slacken.

However, if they are lax, it does not mean that Yan Shao in the command headquarters will also be lax.

It was getting dark. The headquarters has been hung with gas lamps, so that although it is dark, the headquarters is still brightly lit—————— anyway, there is no artillery on the opposite side, there is no need to worry about what trouble this will cause, not to mention that the people of the Guards Regiment have also made arrangements for the headquarters, if you don't get close, even if there are lights, it will be difficult for the outside world to find out.

"What is Bai Wenwei thinking..."Looking at the information that had just been transmitted back from the Special Affairs Bureau and the reconnaissance unit, Yan Shao looked puzzled.

Standing next to him, Tang Li, who was wearing a black uniform, explained seriously.

"We have just sent someone to investigate, and we have not found a large number of enemy troops on the front line of the Cihu River, and no other counties and towns have been attacked, or we have found signs of enemy troops, so the enemy army should still be on the opposite side, and they have not played the trick of secretly crossing Chen Cang..."

Nodding slightly, Yan Shao believed in Tang Li's intelligence very much. "And what about our inside line on the other side? Did you send back anything useful? ”

"This..."Tang Li shook her head slightly. The inner line we arranged at the beginning was mainly concentrated in the upper echelons of the Alliance, and although some people were also bribed in these miscellaneous troops, none of them were very high-ranked, so we couldn't find out any useful news..."

Hearing this, Yan Shao frowned. "That's it...", Yan Shao said and yawned with his hand over his mouth.

It's almost 11 o'clock now, and it's definitely late at night. Naturally, these are definitely nothing to Yan Shao in his previous life, because at that time, Yan Shao's earliest sleep was at 11 o'clock, and it was common to go to bed in the early morning, and sometimes he even slept at 6 or 7 o'clock the next morning.

But now it's different, there are no computers in this era, not even TV or anything, in the absence of any entertainment programs, except for accompanying Elaline and them to do some interesting things, Yan Shao usually sleeps very early, and now he is so late, he naturally becomes very tired.

"Master, do you want to go and rest first?" Because it came out of Wuhu Manor, Tang Li still calls Yan Shao his master, which is also the thing that makes Li Liang frown the most, but Yan Shao and Tang Li are not conscious at all.

So after seeing Yan Shao's seemingly sleepy appearance, Tang Li hurriedly asked softly on the side.

"No, you can still hold on for a while..."Shaking his head, just when Yan Shao wanted to say something, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside, hearing the gunshots, Yan Shao and Tang Li were startled, and quickly turned their heads in the direction where the gunshots came from.

At the same time, there were also officers shouting outside on the side. "Who's going to see what's going on..."

Soon several officers ran out of the command headquarters and went to the front to inquire about the situation. On the other hand, the gunfire outside was getting closer and closer, and after listening carefully for a while, Yan Shao found that the gunfire seemed to be coming from the location of the beachhead...

About two or three minutes later. The officer who had just run out of the command headquarters ran back and reported loudly to Yan Shao. "Report to the Governor, the front report that the enemy forces on the opposite side have launched a night attack and are seizing the beachhead, and now several positions have been lost..."

Hearing the officer say this, the faces of the people in the command changed slightly.

"Organize your forces immediately. Mobilize the reserves, you must recapture the lost positions..."

Most of them are rookie eggs on their side, and they can block Bai Wenwei on the other side. It is all about the Cihu River, which is tens of meters wide, and a large number of machine guns, grenades and other weapons that are equipped. If you really want to have a hand-to-hand fight, even if you can win, you will lose a lot, and Yan Shao is also very clear about this. So when I heard that Bai Wenwei launched a night attack. And after several positions were already lost, Yan Shao suddenly became nervous.

"Yes!"

After saluting Yan Shao, the officer immediately went to convey the order.

At the same time, Yan Shao was standing at the window of the headquarters, looking in the direction where the gunshots came...

————————————————————

Since seeing the fate of those 3,000 people, both Bai Wenwei and Xu Baoshan know that if they continue to make a head-on breakthrough, they can only fill it with human lives.

Let's not mention that I don't fill it in for the time being, I really want to be like that. Even if they can defeat Yan Shao in the Cihu River, it may not be easy to take the entire territory of Anhui. Although when they sent troops, they said that Yan Shao was unpopular. It made the people of Anhui complain and boil over the people, but they themselves actually knew very well that Yan Shao won more hearts and minds in Anhui than them, and if they really wiped out the troops in their hands at Cihu River, then the rest of the matter is estimated to be nothing to do with them.

So the reason why Bai Wenwei and the others didn't move in the past two days was to paralyze Yan Shao and the others on the one hand, and on the other hand, to think of a way, a way to reduce losses as much as possible.

In the end, they chose to fight at night, because only night fighting can minimize the opponent's preparations, and the opponent's terrifying firepower may not be able to play any role at night...

It can effectively conceal the operation attempt, reduce casualties, surprise the enemy, and annihilate the enemy in close combat, in the current situation can be said to be the only way that Bai Wenwei can adopt—————— of course, he can also choose to change the direction, the problem is that the logistics do not allow, they will come to Anhui because they are too poor, to find some food, now stay here, Nanjing can at least have limited support, if you really want to change the road, I am afraid that half of the people will starve to death on the road.

After Bai Wenwei proposed the method of night attack, Ying Shan and the others also thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be no other way, so they nodded and agreed, and at the same time, the current incident happened.

Due to the previous successive victories, the soldiers in charge of the garrison were somewhat careless, and even became lax in carrying out the garrison duties. Especially now, it has entered the middle of the night, and these soldiers usually do not have a rich nightlife, and they have the experience of staying up late, but they naturally become very sleepy after 11 o'clock.

If it weren't for the fact that these people didn't know what special operations were, and when they seized the position, there was an exchange of fire that woke up the soldiers in the nearby positions, and I am afraid that the entire forward position might fall into the hands of these soldiers.

Even so, several positions on the beachhead were lost, and the machine guns that had been aimed across the river were turned on the soldiers who had come to retake their positions.

"Well done, it worked!" Seeing the sound of gunfire on the opposite position, Hang Zhengwen said with great joy, and turned his head to look at Bai Wenwei again after speaking. "Commander, hurry up and send reinforcements, otherwise you may not be able to hold it with those few hundred people..."

Although it was already late at night and the moon in the sky could not shine anything, in order to avoid being discovered by the other side, this time they only sent a battalion of more than 400 people (relatively small) to cross the river and attack at night.

Although a battalion of more than 400 people is not small, the Anhui Revolutionary Army on the opposite side is tens of thousands, and Hang Zhengwen is very worried about whether this battalion can hold up. If you don't hold it up and the other side takes the position back, then this effort will be in vain.

And with this lesson, if you want to succeed with this tactic again, the probability of success will be much lower.

"Don't worry, I understand...", Bai Wenwei waved his hand.

With Bai Wenwei's order, a large number of soldiers soon boarded the various ships that had been prepared for a long time, and then sailed to the opposite shore through these ships. Originally, the boats collected from the coast were almost destroyed last time, but yesterday Bai Wenwei specially sent a fast horse back to Nanjing, hoping that Nanjing could help him get a batch of boats...

Anything else, maybe there is nothing to do in Nanjing, but the ship or something is absolutely fine. So in just one day's work, Nanjing has already helped Bai Wenwei get hundreds of big boats, and there are also the same number of fishing boats or something...

At this time, several beachheads on the opposite bank have been taken by the soldiers who attacked at night, although the remaining positions have aimed their machine guns at the soldiers who are getting off the ship, but the firepower is obviously much weaker than the previous two days, especially the sky is already dark, the color of the clothing on the opposite side is also relatively dark, and the machine gunners in the positions are not easy to aim at all. (To be continued......)
