But the revolutionaries soon discovered that things were not as easy as they thought. The Qing Dynasty can now be said to be in the midst of Zuihou madness, and their suspicion and control of the new army has reached the point where it can no longer be stricter, not to mention Guangzhou, there is no chance at all, and Nanjing is not good.

There was some hope in Shanghai, where the Qing army had a very good relationship with Chen Qimei, and many generals had some entanglements with the Qing Gang, and they promised to help Chen Qimei in the revolution. But they promised that the foreign adults were unwilling, and the foreign adults spoke, they liked peace, and did not want the city of Shanghai to be destroyed by war, and if Sun Wen chose Shanghai, they reserved the right to directly send troops to intervene.

This made Sun Wen a little depressed, seeing that the war in Liaodong was getting more and more intense, his mood was becoming more and more impatient.

During the Spring Festival of 1906, the French newspapers published a special report sent by Miss Elena, and unlike the French who watched the newspapers about how powerful the weapons of the volunteers were, Sun Wen was more concerned about the course of the war.

The newspaper said that Yang Dagui used more than 10,000 people to withstand the Japanese attack for seven or eight consecutive days, and now all the units of the Volunteer Army have been put in place, and the militia has gathered more than 60,000 people, and the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.

The Japanese army had moved from offensive to defensive, and the Volunteers began to prepare for the attack. Elena wrote in the report that she thanked the French people for their concern for her and that she was very safe by the side of Yang Fighting Ghosts.

It's just that this beast said that he would break through the first line of defense of the Japanese army within three days, and said that he would kill all the Japanese in front of him, I don't know if such a massacre will happen, and whether the Japanese can save the war this time.

The newspaper also had a photograph of a volunteer soldier who was very young, about twenty-one or twelve years old. There must have been some trepidation when he faced the camera, as the look on his face was visibly nervous.

But just such a jerky-looking soldier sniped five or six Japanese soldiers at a time with his sniper rifle in the battle that had just ended.

The whole restaurant was talking about what the so-called sniper rifle looked like, Sun Wen was actually really strange, these foreigners didn't know what to think, they cursed Yang Xiaolin as a beast on the one hand, but on the other hand, because of this beast, they slightly changed their attitude towards the Chinese.

Yang Xiaolin may not know it in China, but Sun Wen knows it very well abroad. Northeast accent. It has become a very popular dialect among overseas Chinese. Most foreigners will not take you seriously when they see that you are Chinese, but if you say that you are from Liaodong, then the situation is completely different.

Even Situ Meitang has pretended to be Liaodongites and foreigners to do business. Situ Meitang told Sun Wen that if you say that you are from Liaodong abroad, others will give you a little respect. In fact, they really don't ask for much from Chinese people who go out, they just have a little dignity in foreigners.

Situ Meitang said. Yang Dagui did this for them. As a friend for many years, Situ Meitang reminded Sun Wen that most of Hongmen's overseas members now think. Instead of investing a lot of money in Sun Wen every year and letting him go on adventures again and again, it is better to cooperate directly with Yang Dagui. Least. That guy gives them hope every year.

Although Hongmen is also a gang, the organizational structure of this gang is completely different from that of the Qing Gang. This organization is more like a mutual aid organization for Chinese abroad, although there are no explicit gang rules, but Hongmen is very powerful!

Sun Wen knew that Yang Xiaolin was running out of time for him. If he wins the war against Japan and Hongmen really changes his partner, he will completely lose overseas support. Sun Wen didn't want to be like this, he had worked hard for so long to overthrow the Manchus, he didn't want him to exist as a spectator when Yang Xiaolin succeeded, he had to hurry, hurry up. …,

The war in Liaodong has also entered a critical time, and Yang Xiaolin also knows that he must be faster, faster.

The Beiyang Army stopped in Jinzhou, and it seems that Lao Yuan really has no idea of fighting with himself now. There was also a small episode after the two sides met in Jinzhou City, and as soon as they met, the troops of the Volunteer Army immediately retreated outside the city, thinking that since the Beiyang Army had already entered, they would retreat.

The Beiyang Army also thought the same, and after seeing the Volunteers, they also began to retreat, and for a time they actually vacated this strategic place, and neither side entered.

Later, when he saw that the other party had withdrawn, he began to enter Jinzhou at the same time. After some negotiations, one and a half people on both sides of Jinzhou City, the west of the city is the Beiyang Army, and the east of the city is the Volunteer Army, so it is embarrassing.

The results are not satisfactory, at least not too bad. Whether it is Yang Xiaolin or Yuan Shikai, they are not ready, Lao Yuan is busy integrating other Qing Dynasty troops, and Yang Xiaolin is busy fighting the Japanese, so both sides in Jinzhou City are trying their best to avoid friction, and there will be no accidents in the short term.

Cai Ye hung a map in front of him, and his baton pointed above the location of Iwayama: "At present, all the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese army are concentrated here, a seven-kilometer defensive line, three kilometers deep, backed by the Liao River, and straight up to Songyuan, now obviously want to take advantage of such favorable terrain to hold on, and the Japanese army that holds on until Korea sends troops, or the reinforcements from the Japanese mainland." ”

After speaking, Cai Yi put down his baton: "The current battle situation is very favorable to us, but what we lack most is time, we don't have enough troops to deal with the variables, so we must force a breakthrough of the defense line straight to Matsubara." ”

Yang Xiaolin lit a cigarette and looked at Biaozi sitting on his right hand: "Biaozi, how have you been fighting in the past two days in Nameless Mountain?" ”

Li Debiao stood up, shook his head and said: "The Japanese firepower is very fierce, they have arranged three-dimensional fortifications on the top of the mountain, on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, it is quite a nest, the defensive formation they use is learned from us, the weapons they use are also bought from us, and the rifles captured from the Japanese who were killed are all made by our fathering volunteers!" ”

Yang Xiaolin heard the anger in Li Debiao's mouth, this situation was very annoying, but these things were still sold to Little Japan by himself, and the money and materials in exchange for Little Japan at least allowed Yang Xiaolin to spend the most difficult time.

His arms sales will not stop because of this, on the contrary, he wants to do even more. Sell arms to more people. Yang Xiaolin glared at Biao Zi: "Don't tell me this, I'll give you two days, break through the Nameless Mountain within two days, this is a death order!" ”

Biaozi didn't say anything more: "Yes!" ”

Cai Ye followed up and said: "Nameless Mountain is really very important, the first line of defense of the Japanese army is centered on it, and we can achieve the first stage of victory by taking this place." Commander, I propose to first cut off the connection between the left and right lines of the Japanese army and the unnamed heights, and then storm them. ”

Yang Xiaolin looked at Biaozi. Apparently he was being consulted.

Biao Zi thought for a while and said, "I have also thought about this method. But the Japanese defense system is really very strong, and there may be a lot of casualties. ”

Yang Xiaolin pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Hit!" No matter how many casualties are fought, they will be fought! I don't care if you give me the Liaoxi detachment, I just want that nameless highland! ”

Biaozi's head tilted, Yang Xiaolin said this, he knew that it was not interesting to emphasize the difficulties again, and snorted: "Commander, don't worry." I personally led the charge myself, and if the high ground was not defeated in two days, I would not come back! ”…,

Li Debiao played with his life. After returning from a meeting with Yang Xiaolin, he threw all his troops into the offensive sequence at once.

This arrangement really surprised the second pole: "Brother Biao, if you can't beat us like this, we will all die here!" ”

Li Debiao looked at him: "Die, die." The commander's death order, we must hold this mountain in our hands within two days! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will not wait for the commander to kill me, Lao Tzu will commit suicide himself! Isn't there bushido in Little Japan? Lao Tzu will too! ”

The second pole's eyes blinked, and he suddenly asked, "If you want to learn bushido." Then who will be the commander? ”

One sentence made Biaozi very angry, and kicked at the second pole with his feet: "Fuck you!" ”

It is also a person like Erpole who can ask this question at this time. The two poles dodged one by one: "What are you doing?!" You are alive, you are the commander, and you are dead, don't you take me to think about it? If Lao Tzu made a mistake because of a woman, this commander would have been your turn? ”

Biao Zi didn't kick him, picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it at him: "Lao Tzu will kill you first today!" ”

The two of them had not fought once or twice, and the people around them were obviously familiar with dealing with such a situation, and several people rushed over to stop them.

Thinking about it, the second pole may also feel that it is a bit too much to worry about who will be the commander after Biaozi died at this time, and he didn't say anything after being pulled away, and straightened his clothes: "Li Debiao, think about it yourself, from the time you fought to the present, which battle was not I helped you charge forward?" I'm telling you, it's the same this time! ”

He walked outside with his legs, turned around and said, "Uncle, I'll help you this time, but you'd better go to the commander and make it clear, if you die, let me do it, otherwise ......"

In the first half of his sentence, he said that Biao Zi was angry a lot, and when he saw that the second pole had to work hard for himself, he was really moved, and then after listening to him, Biao Zi interrupted and asked, "How about otherwise?" Lao Tzu is dead, what else can you do? ”

The second pole thought about it, if Biaozi really died, what could he do with him? After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a word, and when he thought of it, he said: "I, I whip the corpse!" ”

The anger that Biao Zi had just gone down was mobilized by this word again, and he stretched out his hand to pull out his gun: "Lao Tzu will kill you first and then whip your corpse!" ”

Where do you dare to stay at the door for more than two poles? As soon as he saw Biaozi pull out his gun, he ran away without looking back.

In fact, he said that Biaozi pulling out the gun was also a subconscious action under anger. The two have been friends for more than 20 years, and they really let Biaozi shoot the two poles to death, and he really can't do it.

The same is true for the second pole, not to mention that Biaozi whipped the corpse after his death, knowing that Yang Xiaolin gave the death order, he was the most fatal.

After returning to his own unit, the second pole quickly launched a charge, and he knew very well that whether Biaozi could live or not depended on whether he really played with his life this time.

There are also skills in playing with life, especially on the battlefield, just blindly charging is not called playing with life, it is called sending to death. If you want to lay down the Nameless Mountain, you must first cut off the connection between it and the Japanese troops on the left and right, which is not only known to Cai Songpo, but also to the second pole who has been on the front line.

Didn't do it before. It's because the casualties are too great. This time it was different, he knew that the time had come for the battle to ignore casualties.

After a short rest, the second pole immediately launched a charge against the Japanese position on the left, and the battle was very fierce. After 20 minutes of artillery bombardment, the infantry began to charge, and the Japanese troops hid in hidden fortifications, using light machine guns and heavy machine guns to frantically strafe at the volunteers, and the light and heavy machine guns made a "sudden and sudden" sound. The first group of charging volunteers fell in an instant. Then the tide receded. …,

The second pole did not stop, and not long after, artillery fire bombarded the Japanese positions again. Little Japan even learned the tactics of defense from the Volunteers, only a few soldiers were placed on the front line to observe, and the brigade retreated to the back of the mountain, waiting for the artillery bombardment of the Volunteers before coming out to fight.

The second pole also tried to sneak up. Or detoured from the flanks, but all these efforts failed, and the two sides fought fiercely again and again in the Japanese positions. The scene was thrilling.

Originally, the two poles themselves thought that if they wanted to break through the Japanese position, they might have to wait until the evening, and the volunteers would have to pay at least thousands of casualties to do it. But a coincidence happened when the two sides were in the middle of a fierce battle.

For this attack, Yang Xiaolin equipped Biaozi with more than 300 artillery pieces. Support the infantry attack. After another failed charge on the second pole, the Japanese also began to retreat when the volunteers retreated, hiding in the fortifications.

I don't know if the artillerymen received the wrong order or what's going on, but the artillerymen actually fired at this time. Two of the shells of heavy artillery accurately hit the trench on the Japanese retreat route.

When the second pole charged here for the fifth time, the resistance of the Japanese army was obviously much weaker. The heavy machine guns also became mute, and the light machine guns also sounded sporadically, and they could no longer form an effective fire interception.

Of course, the second pole would not let go of this opportunity, and the volunteers rushed forward with all their might, occupied the Japanese position, and successfully cut off the link between the nameless mountain and the enemy on the left flank.

The two heavy artillery shells smashed into the trench and killed more than 70 people in the little Japanese at once, more than 20 were killed by the explosion, and more than 50 were swept up alive by the air wave.

After laying here, the two poles roughly counted the positions defended by more than 300 Japanese, and it took the lives of more than 500 volunteers to open. Although this ratio is very normal in offense and defense, the second pole is very dissatisfied.

Looking at the nameless mountain in front of him, the second pole felt that he couldn't rush like this anymore, otherwise even if Biaozi was really a bushido by then, he would be a bare-bones commander as a commander.

"Someone! Go back and tell the artillerymen to bombard the nameless mountain for me at four o'clock, and four hundred shells will be fired rapidly! The artillery fire is ready to end, and the east and west directions will immediately attack, and this time the regimental commander will personally lead you to charge! ”

After the second pole finished speaking, the staff officer surnamed Chen behind him hurriedly said: "Regiment commander, is there something wrong?" The other attacking forces have not yet arrived, and we don't know if the right flank has succeeded, so let's contact it first. ”

While loading his rifle, the second pole said, "Safe, fart?" After a while, the small Japanese forces will be adjusted, and we will have no chance! Do what I say! You boys usually let you charge, you see which posture you have, this time the head of the regiment personally charges, you learn a little from me in the back! ”

The second pole is very good at the front line, and he has drawn a company of troops over, and he does not use the usual method of attack.

The Japanese defense system on the mountain is even more complete than here, and the firepower is also fiercer than here. The result of rushing up with the conventional combat mode is definitely the same as the situation just now, and it will die quickly! It's going to die ugly! The only thing that can be used is that there are many boulders on the hillside where attackers can hide.

So he decided to attack this time at the beginning of the shelling, although it was a bit dangerous, but there was a possibility of success.

"It's all for the head of the regiment, let's rush this time! Push the troops up at once! The three platoons were divided into three directions, and the distance between them was fifty meters. Each platoon is divided into three groups and strikes forward with alternating cover, one group is in charge of forming cross-fire cover while the other two groups are responsible for forming cross-fire cover. Don't jump too far, look for the direction of the hidden object, if you stay under the guns of the Japanese for too long and get killed, don't come to Lao Tzu. ”…,

"Got it, Commander!"

The second pole nodded: "Also, if someone is knocked down, don't save it immediately, the place where it is knocked down must be exposed to the enemy's gun, to save someone is equivalent to sending yourself to the enemy's gun, and you will definitely die!" Pay attention to the front and back, left and right, do not blindly stick your head out, use the side and other terrain features to observe, find the enemy, and immediately open fire. Got it? ”

These were all his experiences on the battlefield, and he had already told his soldiers about it, but now that he said it again, those soldiers sounded completely different.

"Got it!"

Zuihou, the second pole, smiled: "The head of this regiment is also born by his mother, and he will die if he is shot by a bullet." If Lao Tzu hangs up, the company commander will take over and continue to command the attack, and the company commander will be commanded by the deputy company commander, so he will take over, and the other attack teams will also be arranged for me in this way! In short, the charge of the head of this regiment is a sentence, either rush down, or die if you can't rush down! ”

If you can't rush down, you will die, this is really the experience that only the old brothers of the Volunteers had before.

After he finished speaking, he asked the company commander to bring a few Japanese cans over, opened them all, and said: "Brothers, if you are well fed, you must not only have a clever head but also strength to follow the commander of this regiment in a while!" ”

He chose the people of Haode's company and opened the cans, and all of them were steamed beef, and I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. The beef is delicious, but in my eyes, this meat is too much like the flesh and blood that the Japanese army turned over.

The corpse of the Japanese soldier on the battlefield was still nearby, and a soldier glanced at the beef, only to feel a churn in his stomach, threw the meat back into the can, tilted his head to the side and vomited. Although the soldiers had seen blood, not everyone accepted sitting next to the corpse and eating meat.

The second pole looked at him very puzzled, picked a piece of meat from the soldier's jar with a dagger, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "There is no peculiar smell?" Isn't it fragrant? ”

The soldier gave him a jar: "Commander, you can eat, I'll just nibble on two steamed buns." (To be continued)
