On the evening of 24 October, the officers and men of the Hubei Fleet were exhausted after a day of patrolling. After the sailors docked their boats on the docks, they went back to the barracks to rest, leaving only a few officers on duty.

Inland river ships are different from naval ships because of their shallow draft and small internal space, and they usually do not consider accommodation, and their habitability is quite poor. Therefore, the sailor's cabin is either none, or extremely narrow, and the ships of the Hubei Fleet are all ordered in Japan, and the Japanese design style basically does not consider habitability, and it is very hard.

These boats are no exception, if everyone lives in the cabin, it will be crowded like canned sardines, and now it is autumn tigers, if you squeeze in again, it will be impossible to pass. Therefore, the officers and men were reluctant to live on the ship, preferring to walk a few more steps to sleep in the naval barracks.

The sailors who stayed behind looked around, and the river was dark everywhere, and in this day and age there were almost no ships sailing at night, because it was very dangerous, and if they accidentally ran aground or ran aground, it would be a lot of fun. On the other side of the river, Hanyang is brightly lit, and there is an area that is clearly a construction site, with hundreds of gas lamps lit up to light up blind dogs.

"Those bandits are really crazy, they actually plan to build a bridge on the Yangtze River, are they going to repair the bridge and fight again......" A sailor looked at the construction site opposite that was working overtime, with a completely incomprehensible expression.

The construction site started a few days ago, and it is still in the preparatory stage, just doing some basic work such as leveling the scene, building roads, and tamping the road surface. Kyodo really plans to build a bridge over the Yangtze River to connect Wuchang and Hanyang. Of course, this is not as this sailor thought, the bridge was built in order to fight Wuchang.

The data parameters of this Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge are ready-made and can be called at any time. The exploration of the location has also been done a long time ago, and the unmanned exploration aircraft have been in Hubei for so long, but they are not only acting as front-line reconnaissance aircraft, they have already detected the terrain data of Hubei. So as soon as Hanyang was occupied, I started to work on this project. The efficiency of Xingke and Kyodo is very high, which is not at all the imagination of people in this era, and in less than a week, personnel and materials are in place and they start to work overtime.

Another sailor said: "It would be good if it was really repaired, and there would be no need to take a boat to cross the river in the future." I also heard that these bandits are particularly fond of building bridges and roads, and we have already built several roads in Patong, all of which are made of stone slabs and ash, and the bridges on the way are also .......

"Yes, when it comes to road construction, the Qing government is not as active as them......"

After a few people chatted for a while, one of the sailors yawned: "Hey, go to sleep, I'm sleepy......"

"It's so hot and stuffy in the cabin that I can lay ...... on the deck."

"There are so many mosquitoes out there that you have to ......light mosquito coils," said another sailor.

A sailor returned to the cabin and came out with a few plates of mosquito coils: "...... Damn, this Kyodo is so good, I heard that this kind of mosquito coil is made by them, and it's much better than the kind of paper wrapped incense I used before......"

They didn't notice that more than a hundred black shadows were swimming on the surface of the water a few hundred meters away, and they were quietly heading towards the ship at the Sailor Pier. This is a group of divers with underwater thrusters, all of whom carry a large waterproof backpack on their backs.

After a while, several periscopes stretched out of the water, and after a few turns, they quickly retracted under the water.

Under the surface, the commander made a few gestures with fluorescent gloves, and immediately the divers divided into seven or eight groups, each swimming towards their intended target.

"Whew......" There was a soft splash, and the starboard side of the Chuyu gunboat revealed a human head with diving goggles.

The freeboard of this river gunboat was very low, and this man climbed up as soon as he turned over on the railing next to the boat. As soon as he got on the boat, he lowered the backpack behind him and pulled out a short gun from it. This is a whispered submachine gun that appeared decades in advance, this batch was made in small batches, and is currently armed only with internal guards and special forces.

A few seconds later, five more people came up from the water. Several people exchanged gestures, and then they split up lightly. After a while, there were a few unusual muffled grunts on the deck, and then it fell silent again.

At the same time, something similar was happening on the rest of the ships.

There are several watchtowers at the Sailor Wharf, two of which are also equipped with searchlights to monitor the river at any time.

At this moment, several black shadows crawled out of the river and sneaked through the shadows. A man took out a few things from his backpack and began to assemble them on the spot, and after more than ten seconds, he had an extra steel crossbow with a scope in his hand. The other picked up a rock and threw it to the side.

The sound of "pop ......" was particularly prominent in the silent night, and the sentry on the watchtower immediately walked over and poked his head out to observe. At this moment, only a slight string rattle was heard, and the sentry had a pitch-black matte crossbow bolt on his throat. The sentry's eyes widened, clutching his throat and slowly falling......

The sentry on another watchtower was leaning against the pillar, his head little by little, dozing off. At this moment, a figure silently climbed up the watchtower, covered his mouth with one hand, and gently wiped the dagger in the other hand against his neck......

Other figures infiltrated the dock's batteries, ammunition depots, command posts, barracks and other important departments.

Half an hour later, everyone returned, and they boarded the ships that had been cleared. Some dragged their underwater thrusters onto the boat from the water, some came to the gun emplacements, uncovered their gun jackets, loaded their ammunition, and still others lifted anchor.

That's right, this surprise attack force is the "Dragon's Tooth" special force under the command of Wen Dehe. The commander of this operation was Liu Shui, the "martial arts master" who took refuge in Wen Desi after the "Nanchang Teaching Case", and he worked in the factory protection team and the militia group successively, and later went through many tests and successfully entered this most elite unit.

After a while, the remaining six ships of the Hubei Fleet sounded the sound of motivation at the same time, and the ships slowly left the berth and headed towards the center of the river.

At this time, the new troops on the dock reacted, and they were still hurriedly getting dressed and holding weapons. Liu Shui looked at the busy enemy camp, smiled coldly, took out a remote control, and pressed it gently......

Immediately, a series of violent explosions sounded on the pier.

"Boom Boom~~~" Batteries, ammunition depots, command posts, and barracks were swept away by violent shock waves one after another, and the broken building materials were mixed with human bodies, flying everywhere......

On the gate tower of Hanyang, Rossi put down the binoculars and showed a smile: "It seems that the dragon's tooth has succeeded......"

........................................................................

That night, the Hubei Navy Division suffered heavy losses, four batteries, ammunition depots, and command posts were completely destroyed, half of the barracks were destroyed, more than 50 officers and men were killed or wounded, and ammunition, equipment, and materials were heavily damaged. What made them despair the most was that five river gunboats, including Chu Tai, Chu You, Chu Qian, Chu Guan, and Chu Yu, and the Hupeng torpedo boat were captured by Kyodo News......

Although the Hubei fleet is a little smaller, it is also a fleet. It's good now, but someone has robbed it from the nest. After learning the news, the Wuchang officials were dumbfounded, and they all said that they were in a groove, which is too subversive of common sense. You bandits are so hateful that it is a crime to rob warships! Don't you know?

After the news spread, the morale of the new army was directly cleared. When there were warships, they could barely hold the Yangtze River, but now that the warships have become someone else's home, they can still hold a fart!

The revolutionary party of the Hubei New Army began to be active, and they originally wanted to revolt, but they never found the opportunity. Hubei is very strict with the new army, and most of the sheds (platoons) have arranged 2 flag men as surveillance, and most of the gendarmerie are flag men, so it is difficult to find opportunities. But now the people are panicked, and after the news of the total destruction of the sailors, some of the bannermen in the new army are ready to flee, where is there still the heart to spy on the Han people.

At 15 o'clock on January 25, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army crossed the river in a big way on the Hanyang side, and the six ships captured last night had officially joined the revolutionary army at this time.

The heavy artillery group consisting of 8 15o mm heavy guns, 12 1o 5 mm howitzers, 2o 16o mm mortars, and 2o 12o mm mortars was also washing the Qing army's positions along the river and city walls.

At 17 hours, 3 infantry regiments and 1 artillery battalion completed the 6 climb.

At 18 o'clock, 1 infantry regiment and artillery battalion surrounded Wuchang, and the other 2 infantry regiments began to clear the surroundings.

At 2o, the revolutionary army completed the siege of Wuchang and fired a batch of propaganda shells into the city, demanding that the defenders surrender.

At 6 o'clock the next day, the defenders of the city mutinied, and some of the new troops revolted in front of the battle and opened the city gates. At the same time, fierce battles erupted in the city, with rebel officers and soldiers fighting with die-hard troops everywhere.

At 6:3o, the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments of the Revolutionary Army entered the city, taking control of various points while assisting the rebels in eliminating the die-hard forces.

At 9:3o, all the diehards were wiped out, and Wuchang City, except for the inner city, was controlled by the Kyodo Society. Originally, Hubei's garrison of the Eight Banners was in Jingzhou, but because Wuchang was the provincial capital, the conditions were much more comfortable than Jingzhou, and later many banner people moved from Jingzhou to Wuchang. The Qing court did not object to this, they also felt that Wuchang was much more important, and it was also necessary for the banner people to monitor it, so they set aside a place from the inner city for the banner people to live in, forming a substantial full city. A few days ago, many banner people in Jingzhou felt unsafe, and they also ran to Wuchang, so that there were more banner people here than the genuine city in Jingzhou.

The rebels asked to attack Manchuria, but Kyodo did not participate in the operation, but provided them with 2ooo grenades, ten "unconscionable cannons" and supporting explosives, as well as detailed maps.

The rebel army used to be often oppressed by the banner people, and they had long held their breath, plus the alliance would be full of ideological propaganda, needless to say, what would happen in the city. Kyodo generally doesn't do this kind of thing by itself, but if someone else does it, they won't stop it, and they will even make it easier.

According to Wen Desi's words: "I myself have no prejudices about the banner people, but I can't control what other people, especially the Han people of this era, will think." Because from a historical point of view, the Manchus owed too much blood debt to the Han people, and in addition to the fact that they had been knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow for more than 2oo years, such national hatred and class hatred could not be resolved lightly. What is revolution? Not only to build a new society, but also to take revenge. I've been holding this breath for hundreds of years, how can I get along with each other after I don't breathe this breath?"

Of course, after all, Wen Deji came from the later generations, and he could fight any way on the battlefield, and he could use any big killing weapon. He is not the kind of pedantic person who thinks that "shell killing is nobler than poison gas killing", but he still does not agree with the torture of prisoners of war and the massacre of civilians.

Therefore, in the last Xingshan anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, most of the bannermen in Hubei were lost, and the Mancheng in Wuchang was much smaller than the one in Jingzhou, and now this little bit of people can't stop it for long. Half an hour later, the walls of the city were blasted open, and the rebels swarmed in.

One hour later, the revolutionary army slowly arrived at the city, at this time the city was already a mess, the rebels had enough explosives and shells in their hands, so they would not be stupid enough to fight with the banner people in the streets, almost inch by inch.

The rest of the bannermen were all driven to the school yard in the middle, and all those who participated in the resistance were identified and dragged out and shot on the spot. After the young man was almost killed, the rebel army was ready to attack other old and young women and children.

At this time, the revolutionary army, who had been watching the soy sauce from the sidelines, stepped forward to stop it.

An officer of the revolutionary army said: "Killing those die-hards is a normal act of war, and it is completely correct. But the massacre of women and children is not, we are a revolutionary army, not bandits and robbers......"

He paused, then added, "Of course, we didn't just let them go. We will organize a public trial in a few days, and all the flag bearers who have committed crimes before will be punished accordingly after the public trial, and everyone can come and report their crimes. I promise that all guilty bannermen will be punished, no matter what kind of Baylor or what kind of character they are. We are a member of the Kyodo Society, and we oppose a ...... lynching."

The rebels were persuaded and handed over the remaining bannermen to Kyodosha. Of course, there is another reason that the battle just now was very cool, and it was ruthless to accumulate the bird's spirit. If you are angry enough, it will naturally be easier to speak.

....................................................................................

At 14 o'clock on January 26, the whole city of Wuchang was liberated!

Zhao Erxun, the governor of Huguang, was killed by the new army of the uprising, Zhang Biao, the commander of the eighth town, committed suicide after being surrounded, and Li Yuanhong, the commander of the 23rd mixed association, failed to abscond in makeup and was intercepted by the river. The rest of the officers were either killed or captured, and a few fled before the siege.

Subsequently, Kyodo began to march on the remaining Qing court-controlled districts in Hubei, and with the assistance of the river fleet, it captured Huangzhou (Huanggang) in the afternoon of the same day. By January 31, the whole territory of Hubei was liberated.

After conquering Hubei, the two regiments of Kyodo went north to Shaanxi and liberated Xing'an (Ankang) and Hanzhong, and then stopped expanding and began to go on the defensive. This expansion is almost to the limit, and it will not be enough to occupy any more territory, after all, the time for the rise of Kyodo is too short, and the foundation is too thin. Although it is opened, there is a limit, and if you swallow it again, you will have indigestion.

If it weren't for the fact that Xing'an Province (Ankang) and Hanzhong Province were the only routes along the Chongqing-Han line, Wendeji would not even be included in the scope of this expansion.

Next, it is natural to farm, such a large piece of land in Hubei has to be digested well, and the size of the army also needs to be expanded. In addition, Sichuan is also preparing to start.
