    After the train arrived at Xiaogan, Yang Qiu met He Xifan who was ordered to station here.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    He is not only a member of the Joint Advancement Association, but also an old officer in the Hubei New Army. He first joined the army under Li Yuanhong, and was later transferred to eight towns to serve as battalion commander. In the parallel world, he led the Hubei People's Army to fire the first shot of the Yangxia War. Now  Although this position was given to Wu Zhaolin, he may have been recognized by Li Yuanhong and appointed as the frontline commander of the Left Army, indicating that he was still capable.

    He Xifan also saw the right-wing army starting to get off the train. They were all young officers with bulging bullet belts, Maxim heavy machine guns pulled by mules, light machine guns carried on their shoulders, and the appearance was somewhat different from that made in Hanyang.  Rifles, the first time I saw a small bomb with a wooden handle that could be hung on the waist, and the same seven-year-old five-barreled field gun as the Beiyang!  Although the number is only slightly more than two battalions, compared to the Second Association of the Left Route Army, which only has one Hanyang-made weapon, ten rounds of bullets, and eight cannons, this equipment almost makes the soldiers go crazy with envy. Everyone is really  I don¡¯t understand why Yang Qiu is gone, so he can get so many new equipment!

    He Xifan, who had previously contacted Wuchang Telephone, learned about Yang Qiu's resignation and brought troops to the front line. He has been thinking about how to get along with this person and how to position the relationship between the left and right armies. Now that he saw his equipment, he knew  , I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t get the leadership back, not to mention that the military rank says that Yang Qiu is also a superior, so I simply saluted openly and said: "Xifan has met Commander Yang:"

    "Brother Shaoyue, please call me Chen Hua. After all, you are still my senior." Yang Qiu smiled slightly and took Jiang Tai and other officers to say hello to the Second Association officers who came to greet them. The latter was because Yue Peng and others were on the expedition.  He was abroad, so he was temporarily brought in as a consultant. Fortunately, he also studied conducting when he studied in Japan, so he was familiar with the consultant's work. After everyone got to know each other, Yang Qiuli asked: "Everything is set up here.  ?',

    He Xifan is not a purely political person like Yu Wu. Like Wu Zhaolin, he still admires Yang Qiu and the Right Army. If no one takes action first, the Beiyang people may have already reached Hankou, and there will be no time for them.  These people are prepared. With this merit alone, there is no problem in the current branch office: not to mention the subsequent northward march, sweeping the four fields and completely regaining Hubei, etc. All prove that these young people really want to fight this battle well.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    The most important thing is that the Right Army is also equipped with a large number of machine guns and new cannons. Just because of the appearance of these ordnance, there should be no hatred, so I admire Yang Qiu's ability to ask about the decorations as soon as he arrived. He introduced  : "The third mark has left Xiaochang and Doushan and is stuck at the Jinghan Line station. The fourth mark is still in Xiaogan for the time being."

    The Wuchang Left Route Army still adopts the new army's organization, with one assistant commanding two divisions, and each division has three battalions.  As the first army to be reorganized, the four flags he and Wu Zhaolin held not only had party members as the backbone, but most of them were veterans of the Hubei Army, so their combat effectiveness could still be guaranteed.  And judging from the map, all his decorations are centered on the Beijing-Hankou Railway line. He is obviously prepared to move south quickly along the railway line after the Beiyang border is broken. He is a good officer.

    "Leave Xiaochang's left wing to us." After hearing this, Yang Qiu immediately ordered: "Zhu Sheng, the First Battalion and the Third Artillery Battalion went out to Huaxi to protect Xiaochang's left wing. The Second Battalion and the First Artillery Battalion continued to move to the left to garrison Yunmeng.  At Fengzigang in the northeast, upon arrival, all the troops immediately dug trenches and set up deer villages to prevent the Beiyang cavalry from quickly moving south!"

    After Jiang Tai turned around to give the order, Yang Qiu immediately turned around and said: "Brother Shaoyue, I know you are all wondering if I am here to seize power. I just want to tell everyone that if you can't win this battle, no matter how great the power is,  Jing Zhongyue! So I don¡¯t want to mention these things. If you are willing to listen to my instructions, you can listen. If you don¡¯t want to listen, that¡¯s fine. As long as we fight well."

    He Xifan didn¡¯t expect Yang Qiu to be so direct, and knowing that he would definitely not let go of the dominant power, as long as he really came to fight, why bother fighting for power now?  So he said simply: "You are the commander, so of course we will listen to you."

    "That's good." Yang Qiu glanced at the several party officers behind him who looked a little wrong and said, "I know you don't have enough machine guns here, so I will leave a machine gun company with three Maxims and four light machine guns.  The artillery will cooperate with you to hold on to the right wing. As for the "Dayao" brothers, they really can't be mobilized.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)¡±

    He Xifan was very happy to be able to leave three heavy machine guns and four light machine guns to assist him, but machine guns were big consumers of bullets. Each soldier on his side only got two rows of bullets. Where could they afford machine guns? He said anxiously  : "Shaoyue thanks the commander for helping regardless of past grudges, but we can't leave some more bullets. We can't afford to keep them here."

    "Bullets?" Yang Qiuyi frowned, glanced at the soldiers with flat ammunition belts around him, and said in surprise: "Don't Chu Wangtai have enough savings? And I have promised Governor Li that the gun factory will provide you with a bullet every day.  Tens of thousands of bullets, could it be??¡±

    "It's not Zhang Jingliang!"

    Xie Yuankai, commander of the Four Standards, saw that the guards behind Yang Qiu all had bulging ammunition belts and four pounds in their waists.  Small bombs with wooden handles were also issued, and short guns were also issued. The envious Li Liao said: "I went back to Liujiamiao the day before yesterday to ask for bullets from him. He insisted that the savings were not enough and could not be misused. He only gave each person two rows of ten bullets, and also  Saying that giving new recruits more bullets will only lead to waste."

    "Then why not go to Sun Wu? He is the Minister of Military Affairs, and he is in charge of logistics."

    "I went, but the door" Xie Yuankai looked at He Xifan and closed his mouth angrily.  He is a member of the Society. Because Liu Fuji died generously and Jiang Yiwu disappeared, the Society except Hu Ying and Xiong Bingkun were basically excluded from the military government. They were already full of anger.  It's just that Xie Tong was a member of the Joint Advancement Association, and with the war imminent it was not appropriate to have any more conflicts, so the dissatisfaction that came to his lips was suppressed in the end.

    He Xifan also sighed in his heart. Sun Wu was no longer the leader of the Joint Development Association who decisively launched the uprising. In order to cling to Li Yuanhong and gain power, he was indifferent to Zhang Jingliang's deliberate withholding of ammunition. Thinking of this, he felt extremely upset. He handed over his hands and said: "If Chen  If it's inconvenient, forget it. I'll find a way to ensure the supply of ammunition for the machine gun."

    "Now the two armies each take half of Hanyang's daily output. We have emptied it out this time. (Read the text novel and go there'')" Yang Qiu is not out of bullets. The sharp-pointed bullets he just got are to be kept.  The light machine gun and the Mauser 98 cannot use round-nose bullets, and the Hanyang-made ones cannot use pointed bullets, so it is useless to give them.  As for the round-headed bullets, they have to be reserved for heavy machine guns and Hanyang-made ones here. The savings are actually not much, so I will give them with a handshake.  After all, even he doesn't know how long this battle will last, so seeing the disappointed expressions on the faces of He Xifan and others, he can only say: "Shaoyue, don't worry too much, brothers will guarantee the ammunition of the machine gun company no matter what."  , when Hanyang produces more, we must ask the quartermaster to make up for it first."

    "Shao Yue, on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the two associations, would like to thank the commander!" He Xifan was about to say a few more words of gratitude.  I saw the assistant officer running towards me in fear of his life. Before he could walk in, he shouted: "Oh no! Beiyang has begun to attack Wusheng Pass. Tan Xietong sent an urgent telegram, asking us to rush to help immediately."

    This news immediately caused an explosion in the surrounding area, and Yang Qiu's heart sank. He had always thought that Yuan Shikai would wait until he came out and officially became the Prime Minister before he would work hard. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ranti worked hard for nearly ten days before killing him:

    "Xietong, I'll take Sanbiao with me."

    "Three Biao must stick to Xiaochang and not make any moves. In my opinion, we, Four Biao, should go to support!"

    "No, Sibiao observes filial piety, this is the last gate! In my opinion, we should ask Wuchang to transfer Sixie to go north to ensure that Wusheng Pass is safe and sound."

    "It's too late!" When the officers were discussing and couldn't come up with any good ideas, Yang Qiu cut off all the noise, squatted down and asked Lei Meng to get the map, spread it out on the spot and read it in detail, then Li Jing said: "  Sixie is still in the south, and it will take two days for reinforcements to reach Wusheng Pass, which is too late! I don¡¯t think it¡¯s better than this. You two, Shaoyue and Zhusheng, work together to defend Xiaochang. I will lead the security company to support. It¡¯s best to get on the train now.  Chi Ming can arrive early, I believe He Xi and Wu Zhaolin can still hold on tonight."

    "Just lead a team?" He Xifan waved his hand quickly: "Commander, you must not be careless. I know Wei San's temperament. If it is not critical, I will never ask for help. Therefore, this concubine Beiyang must have already sent out a large army. I'm afraid I can go with one team.  ,:"

    "It's not a team, it's a battalion. (Just read the novel)" Yang Qiu didn't notice that He Xifan changed the title again, and swiped his finger to the left: "Zhu Sheng, you Li Jian sent people to Anlu  , Ke Shao and the others should have arrived there after reorganizing Jingshan. Once found, ask them to go north to meet me on the way. Then send people to Xiangyang to inform Yue Peng that after taking Xiangyang, they will march to Suizhou to ensure that Beiyang cannot take the Dahong Mountain and bypass the Han Dynasty.  "!  "

    Those present were all officers. When Yang Qiu waved his left hand on the map, two armies appeared.  Instantly I understood why he wanted to forcibly recruit the Liu brothers from Jingshan. Without this recruitment, how could he have assembled two mobilizable armies in Dahongshan on the left in advance!  So everyone was very dissatisfied with Choi Wu for forcing him to resign.

    Yang Qiu didn't know that his move would trigger the thoughts of He Xifan and others. He raised his head and glanced at everyone: "I don't know how long I can hold on here. If the barrier is broken, Wei San and I must avoid it first."  Adjust the edge, so it¡¯s up to you to block Beiyang¡¯s impact! I hope you all remember that you must never let Beiyang charge up, and you must defend Xiaochang to block the first wave no matter what!¡±

    "Commander, rest assured, Shaoyue will definitely stop this wave even if he dies!" Regardless of whether He Xifan's guarantee counts or not, Yang Qiu has no second choice. Li Liao called the guard company to get on the train again and prepare to unwrap, but just as he was about toThe car's path was blocked by Hakan:

    Yang Qiu is now the hope of the German Navy, how can Hakan let him take risks!  But Yang Qiuqu refused to give in: "Colonel Hakan, I am a soldier. Soldiers should be on the front line and not protected like women. If you think you can't even protect an officer, then I think this transaction is not necessary."  Got it!"

    Hakan really wanted to force this guy onto the warship and return to Ouhong immediately. Seeing his unkind expression, Yang Qiu could only say softly: "I won't make fun of my own life, nor will I take fearless risks:"

    Hearing what he said, Hakan had no choice but to let Hua board the train with him. This scene confused He Xifan and others who did not understand German. They never thought that Yang Qiujuji could mobilize foreigners:

    Night fell quickly, and while the train was speeding towards Wusheng Pass, the sound of killings on the pass was already loud.  The pass, which was still majestic in the day, was in dilapidated condition. Groups of Beiyang soldiers continued to charge under the cover of machine guns and cannons. The red light spots brought by bullets shuttled back and forth between the two sides:

    Shi Xiaolou pressed his head, stepped on the rubble-like tower and ran towards Commander Mou.  Broken limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere along the way.  No one expected that the Beiyang Initiative would be so terrible. In just a few hours, nearly ten people in the garrison were killed, and most of them were killed by artillery shells.

    When he walked to a machine gun fort made of thick sandbags and stones, violent shouting suddenly came from inside.  "Stuck! Cover me"

    ? Looking over the head, the heavy machine gunner was jumping and listening. It turned out that he was shooting continuously at high speed due to lack of experience.  A length of canvas bandolier was torn and blocked the gun box. The anxious machine gunner quickly pulled the Maxim heavy machine gun away from the firing hole. A Madsen light machine gun under emergency protection immediately occupied the firing hole and continued to attack.  Hillside strafe.

    Ignoring the hot receiver, several soldiers in the machine gun squad began to hurriedly clean up the remaining canvas ammunition belts.

    This is a very annoying job, and there are no experienced heavy machine gunners in the Hubei army. Yang Qiu himself has never played this and antiques, so he compiled your machine gun tactics and asked all machine gunners in the army to learn them.  Manual science can only help soldiers learn tactics, but it cannot help at all technically.  In addition, there are hundreds of parts of the Maxim machine gun, and it is a headache for those who have just learned it to disassemble the receiver even if they are training during normal training. What's more, at this critical moment, the machine gun fort is simply a mess.

    Seeing that the most important machine gun had stopped, Shi Xiaoheng immediately secretly thought that something was wrong. The ability to survive the attack from Beiyang until now was entirely dependent on these unfamiliar machine guns, especially the heavy machine guns, which had become a powerful blockade weapon.  At that time, two of them had been hit and smashed by artillery fire. Now the third one had stopped. Half of the firepower on the pass was immediately lost, and a large gap immediately appeared on the left side.

    Li Jian, an experienced Beiyang soldier, saw this side. At the reminder of three long and two short copper whistles, hundreds of Beiyang infantrymen crawled towards this side with bullets in their hands. Shi Xiaolou knew very well that if they climbed to a hundred meters and initiated a charge,  That would be a big trouble. Just when he was thinking about whether to instigate a counterattack from a high position, he saw Wu Zhaolin leading his soldiers to push two ten-barreled hand-cranked 'Knife Millimeter Green Rapid Cannon' onto the battlements.

    The Gatling gun is truly the first heavy machine gun equipped with the domestic army. Old Beiyang once equipped a lot of them, and Zhang Zhidong also transferred dozens of them from the country when preparing for the new army.  The round self-falling magazine was inserted into the top of the cannon. The machine gunner grabbed the handle and started to rotate it. The two gunners were responsible for controlling the angle, and the loader and bomber were constantly changing the magazines.

    Compared with the simpler-to-operate Maxim, although the firepower of this machine gun is not weak, the shooting angle completely depends on the precise coordination of the soldiers in the machine gun squad. Since the left army lacked machine guns, in order to strengthen the firepower, it had to replace this machine gun with the old gun.  Chu Wangtai was moved out to equip the army, and finally it was Li Ya.  Hong Te invited several retired veterans to reluctantly teach the soldiers how to use it.

    Although the Gatling gun is much worse than the Maxim, the two ten-barreled guns can still fire hundreds of bullets per minute. "The 1mm bullets are extremely powerful. As long as they hit, you will die, so they temporarily make up for the heavy machine gun squad."  Neutral, seeing that Wu Sheng's firepower was still so fierce after turning off the fire, Beiyang, who had been fighting for several hours, had to pay for the military supplies.

    "As the last Beiyang soldier disappeared into the darkness, dense shells fell again, Shi Xiaolou smiled bitterly, these Beiyang crazy soldiers really didn't leave anyone a chance to breathe.

    On the first day, Liao Zhan finally stopped at midnight. When the soldiers stood up rubbing their sore shoulders, they discovered that Wusheng Pass could hardly see what it used to be. Blood and corpses lay all over the hillside in front of the pass.  Got it

    This is only one day, and there are still seven days left in the twenty days promised to the commander!  How can you really hold on?
