Chapter 49 There is no right or wrong in war
On the same day, in General Jiangning's yamen, Zhang Butcher, the governor of Liangjiang of the Great Qian Empire, and Tieshan, the general of Jiangning, also sighed at each other.
During the day, the guns of Yuhuatai in the north of the city rang out for a day, and only in the afternoon did the defeated Jiangfang army rout and return to the city.
The chief soldier He Kui died in battle, and those defeated soldiers boasted that the party had become a heavenly soldier and a general, and the bullets would turn when they touched it.
Butcher Zhang was already a very decrepit old man, his gray braids were both short and thin, and he could only sigh when he looked at Tie Shan with his old eyes dimly.
Tie Shan and him stared wide-eyed: "Qianweng (Zhang, the word Qianli), what are your plans for this situation at the moment?" ”
Butcher Zhang just smiled bitterly: "Lord Tie, what are your plans?" I am a feudal official, and when the time comes, I can only sit in the yamen and wait for the party to come to the door! It's really not good, it's just a rope thing. ”
Tie Shan also smiled bitterly, this important minister of the Sect and Socialist Party of the Great Qian Empire, now he is helpless in his heart.
"I'll have to go to the city by then, and everyone will die together."
Butcher Zhang shook his head slightly: "Brother Tieshan, I am with you at this time, and I am not afraid to talk to you in my heart, this time it is different from the Diao Min Rebellion." The lives of tens of thousands of banner people in the city are all in your hands, and some things are really unnecessary. ”
Speaking of which, neither of them was in the mood to talk any further.
The two ministers have been talking for so long, but none of them have mentioned Zhang Da Braid, perhaps in their hearts, they have no confidence in Zhang Da Braid's Jiang Defense Army.
Zhang Tu walked out of the eaves and watched his patrol officer greet the sedan chair over, but his heart was upside down, but he was thinking about the letter that Zhang Jizhi sent him.
"Wang Feng, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition army, Ji Zhizhi's son, his ambition is not small, the army has been suppressed in Jiangnan Province for a long time, and the great cadres and societies are declining, and it is no longer human to save it! If the army can be good at explaining to Wang Feng, Ji Zhi can protect the army leader Wan'an! ”
He glanced back at the dragon flag fluttering powerlessly in the general's yamen, and lowered his head and got into the sedan chair.
With a large amount of white steam and screeching brakes, the night train from Zhenjiang slowly entered Shenhai Station.
Huning Road is still under the management of the British Highway Bureau, the train traffic is still punctual, and even the employees of the Highway Bureau work with a trace of leisure, not affected by the changes in the external situation.
The station was full of hawkers and coachmen waiting for customers, and it was noisy.
In the second-class carriage came down a figure that looked like an officer and two guards. It was Tao Zhengzhang, the chief of staff of the coalition army and the town army, who raised his eyes to look at the sky and hurriedly blended into the flow of people.
Tianbao City is a military fortress at the southern foot of the Tuo Peak of the Purple Mountain, and if you put cannons on it, the firepower can completely control the whole Jinling City.
In the early years, the battle around this fortress was the most numerous and fierce.
This time, this is almost the last line of defense of Jinling City, and fifteen infantry battalions are arranged on Tianbao City and the surrounding hills.
In the fortress of Tianbaocheng, it has increased to six mountain guns, field artillery, eight heavy machine guns, and two of the most elite and substantial infantry battalions have also been selected, which are personally led by Wang Shihong.
Wang Shihong even erected a big banner at the head of Tianbao City, with several blood-red characters on it, "Supporting the Great Qian Empire"!
Wang Feng and Lin Yanjun, as well as Zhu Rui, the detachment leader of the Southern Army, looked at the big flag with binoculars together.
Zhu Rui was so angry that his hands trembled slightly, Wang Feng tilted his head and called Wang Yangming: "Did you see that big flag?" ”
Wang Yangming snorted: "Will the commander leave it to me?" Tonight, how about we all pull this flag down and throw it at your feet! ”
Lin Yanjun put down the binoculars and pretended not to hear Wang Yangming in front of Wang Feng's title, without adding a sub-word.
He smiled and said: "Brother Zhuoran, your troops have been working hard these days, but our town army has not yet been active, this time you don't want to compete with the old colleagues of the town army, right?" Tianbao City, let the town army take it. ”
Zhu Rui didn't agree: "Two commanders, our southern army came all the way from Jiangnan Province, what is the picture?" I always let our southern army do the search and security thing, and I can't explain it to my father when I go back! Tianbao City, no matter what, leave it to our southern army to do it! ”
The three troops all wanted to snatch the first merit of recovering Jinling, and the scene was a little frozen for a while.
Wang Feng smiled and played a round game: "These things should be left to the General Staff to make a plan!" By the way, why didn't you see Chief of Staff Tao? ”
Lin Yanjun's expression was a little embarrassed: "Chief of Staff Tao, if he is sick these days, I will let him go to Shenhai to see a doctor, anyway, there are not many things in the staff of the coalition army, if there is anything, Brother Niansun, he can solve it completely alone!" ”
While he was talking, he heard a commotion not far away! Several people glanced at each other and rushed over with their guards.
When they came to the front of a grove, they saw four men dressed in common people's clothes, tied up, blindfolded, and kneeling in that place.
Huang Yiou was straight, holding a sharp cherry blossom saber in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he cut off the head of one of them!
Wang Feng shouted: "Stop! ”
Huang Yiou stopped the knife in his hand and looked at Wang Feng with a proud look on his face.
Lin Yanjun was also asking: "Yiou, what's going on?" ”
Huang Yiou looked at the saber in his hand and said lightly: "This is the four spies of the Jiangfang Army that our southern army captured, just when the subordinates returned to China, Mr. Funayama of Sakura gave a family heirloom knife. ”
Several senior officers looked unbearable, but they didn't say anything.
Wang Feng shouted: "Chief of Military Law! ”
Wang Wu, the chief of the Judge Advocate General of the Iron Blood Army and the Chief of the Military Judge Advocate General of the Coalition Army, ran over and saluted them straight.
Zhang Dabiao was transferred to the following as the commander of the main battalion, at this time, biochemical talents are the most loyal, Wang Feng is still careful, be careful!
Wang Feng nodded a little disgusted: "Wang Wu, take Huang Yiou up first!" Investigate clearly, and then deal with it! ”
In Wang Feng's mind, he might as well make a little more money, but people can't kill casually, if he kills all people, who will he use? In addition, Huang Yiou has never been much of a bird, so he took this opportunity to give him an ugly look by virtue of his identity as a deputy commander.
The most important thing is that for the veterans of the party behind Huang Yiou, Wang Feng has always had his own plans for the alliance and doesn't want to get too close to them.
And his murderous knife, it's actually a cherry blossom knife! This touched Wang Feng's bottom line. In that parallel world, how many of our civilians and captured soldiers were killed by the Sakura people, using Sakura knives! They even hold killing contests, even for the elderly and children! That is the memory of Wang Feng's generation, the psychological trauma of this generation! Even after a century, no one dares to reveal that scar! Even Wang Feng, who is a soldier, doesn't want to mention it. Today, this guy completely angered Wang Feng, and in Wang Feng's eyes, this guy was already a dead man.
Thinking about it in his heart, Wang Feng's stomach was full of anger, but his face was doubly serious.
Wang Wu looked at Wang Feng with some hesitation, and Zhu Rui also puffed up and didn't speak.
Lin Yanjun watched the excitement without caring about himself, and Huang Yiou sneered.
Wang Feng said angrily to Wang Wu: "What? My words, not an order? ”
Huang Yiou laughed: "Commander Wang, don't bother, Fifth Brother Wang, I'll report to the Military Justice Department by myself." ”
He threw his sword at the guard's hand, dusted off his uniform, and walked out with his head held high, Wang Wu following him as if he were a follower.
The atmosphere in the field was a little awkward, and Zhu Rui saluted Wang Wu and Lin Yanjun: "Two commanders, there's nothing to do, I'll leave first." Chief of Staff Lu of the Southern Army would come to the staff office and participate in the joint formulation of the plan. ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, it seemed that he had some opinions about Wang Feng's handling of Huang Yiou.
Wang Feng ordered the people around him: "Send the remaining three people to the military justice department and interrogate them carefully!" The one who died, bury it well! ”
He turned around to leave, but Lin Yanjun stopped him: "Commander Wang, it's better to leave some affection for Kegong." ”
Wang Feng turned his head to look at him, and his expression was 120,000 impassioned: "I'm thinking about Kegong just for the sake of Kegong!" We are an iron-blooded army, and we have no military trial, so we kill the people and spread the word, do we have a good reputation? Compared to the power that the Great Qian Imperial Court actually has, it is too small. Why did we attack the Han River in one fell swoop, and the whole country responded? Isn't it because the people's hearts are on our side? Since the people's will is our advantage, in the hands of my Wang Feng, we can't lose it. When I saw Kegong, I said the same thing. ”
"The main thing is that the saber he used is from the Sakura Empire, how many people in our country died at the hands of the Sakura people! I can't see this! ”
He was slightly excited, saluted Lin Yanjun, and strode away.
Lin Yanjun was stunned, what kind of person is this Wang Feng?
He didn't expect Wang Feng to walk so fast, and he didn't have time to ask him!
The reason why Wang Feng is so fast is because he doesn't want to regret it! Just a moment ago, he had the urge to shoot that guy!
The plan to attack Tianbao Castle was decided after a long debate.
The Jiang Defense Army is now completely in a posture of being beaten to the death, but it is also impossible not to guard against the counterattack of the Jiang Defense Army in the direction of Qilinmen.
In the battle for the mountains around Tianbao City, when attacking Yuhuatai, the second regiment of the Iron Blood Army and the first part of the teaching regiment attacked the outer positions of the Purple Mountain.
It was probably because the other defenders were demoralized by the battle of Yuhuatai, and the progress was quite smooth.
The attack on the main position of Tianbao City, the three families were all scrambling, and finally worked out a compromise plan.
The three troops were divided into three routes, each with an elite battalion as the vanguard, and attacked Tianbao City at night. Once it was taken, it would use it as an artillery position and carry out a threatening artillery bombardment in the direction of the Jinling City Governor's Office.
The Iron Blood Army attacked with a regiment and three battalions, and they selected guides, and the squad leader and above all changed their pistols and had enough ammunition.
Under the cover of artillery fire from more than 20 mountain artillery guns of the entire coalition army, they each chose a road to climb vines and join the vines, and launched a sneak attack overnight.
As a result, on the 29th and 3o, two consecutive nights of attack, because the terrain was really dangerous and the defenders were extremely stubborn, they all failed.
The battle line stopped at the front line of Yuhuatai Qilin Gate, and the Jiang Defense Army was a little bolder, and they also tried to counterattack the coalition forces, but they were easily repulsed.
In the past two days, the shocking news came from Shenhai that Tao Zhengzhang, the chief of staff of the coalition army, was assassinated by the remnants of the imperial court in Shenhai!
Under the recommendation of the Hui Party gathered in Shenhai, Xu Minghao, the commander of the original 9th Brigade, served as the new chief of general staff of the coalition forces, and came to join the coalition forces with supplies and military supplies.
