Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the first ray of sunshine rose in the morning, the first artillery shell landed on Wusheng Pass on time. The Beiyang gunner quickly opened the breech without looking at the smoke column on the hillside, and the hot shell fell out of the barrel. Just now  The still yellow-orange shell was already covered with charred burn marks. A new shell was inserted into it, the bolt was closed, and the firing action was skillful and rapid.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)(. Updates super fast)

    The new military commander Feng Guozhang stood behind the artillery position in a military uniform, gently rubbing his red gloves with his fingers. The gilt scabbard on his waist shone in the sun. The corners of his lips covered by his beard were slightly curved, looking at the people who were trembling under the artillery fire.  Wu Shengguan's eyes were cold.

    Behind them, the rarely seen Beiyang officers stationed in various places were chatting happily. They didn't seem to feel that they were in a war. There was only one topic on everyone's lips. The creator and discoverer of the Beiyang Army, the brain and brain of this army.  The soul is finally coming back!

    Since Duan Qirui, commander of the Second Army, has not yet arrived, the so-called Hubei Patrol Battalion 25 is still far away, and the Second and Sixth Towns are not at peace yet, so there are actually only two towns and three associations entering Hubei, plus some miscellaneous brands.  The total number of patrol camps in Henan and Anhui was only a little more than 30,000. Others felt that it was not enough for a civilian army of 40,000 to 50,000. However, after several days of testing, Feng Guozhang felt that this was enough.

    In order to open the front line for Yuan Gongbao to come out, this time he mobilized another artillery battalion. The three artillery battalions contained 54 Krupp rapid-fire cannons that kept roaring, but even the three passes were covered by black and yellow gunpowder smoke.  He didn't show any joy. Artillery could not solve the battle. The geographical advantage of Wusheng Pass was too obvious, and infantry was needed to clean up the "little mice" on the opposite side.

    "Zichun, have you rested enough these days?" Feng Guozhang gently swept the dust on his sleeves with his gloves, as if what was going on in front of him was not a life-and-death battle involving tens of thousands of people, but an ordinary hunting.  He came to Wang Zhanyuan and said, "You play as a striker? Is that okay?"

    Wang Zhanyuan smiled and said: "The military commander can rest assured, the Third Mixed Association has been prepared for a long time!"

    Feng Guozhang didn't say anything, and turned to look at Li Chun: "Xiushan."

    "Sicheng (the fourth town commander, Wang Yujia)."

    Every officer who was called was eager to fight. After fighting Yinchang intentionally or unintentionally for so long, these Beiyang generals had also held their breath for a long time. This time they could finally fight!

    After Feng Guozhang finished speaking, he walked up to the two infantry leaders of the Third Mixed Association who were preparing to go out. He waved to the guards to carry a few large boxes. He opened the lid of the box with a scabbard and the dazzling silver color immediately stimulated all the eyes: "Grab it."  An officer will be rewarded with kc! If you kill him, you will be rewarded 50 yuan, and a soldier will be rewarded 10 yuan. If you want to make money or eat meat! Just give me a good beating!"

    Several large boxes of silver dollars immediately aroused the emotions of the infantrymen. One or two of them had red eyes, and their greedy eyes glanced over them over and over again.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    Feng Guozhang disagreed, this is Beiyang!

    Jia Deyao stepped out from the crowd, drew his sharp saber and waited for the bombardment to end.  He was originally a student at the Baoding Army Accelerated School. He was later selected to study infantry at the Japanese Military Academy at official expense. After returning home, he immediately joined Beiyang. During this time of countering the rebellion, he was transferred to the First Army along with Wang Zhanyuan.  He was a well-known upright person in Beiyang and was proficient in infantry tactics, so this time Feng Guozhang specially asked him to command the front army.

    "Brothers, follow me!" After half an hour of textbook bombardment, the sky above Wusheng Pass was filled with smoke. Jia Deyao led two bids and six battalions, more than 4,000 Beiyang soldiers, to launch the attack. The first wave of investment alone was  Up to three battalions, but this time they had not reached the optimal shooting range. Wu Sheng opened the gate and sprayed out dense bullets, and the remaining two five-seven-seven cannons also continued to fire at the infantry.

    "Haha, it seems that he was frightened by the large military formation. Can he be accurate when shooting from such a distance? Brother Xiushan is going to take the lead this time." Wang Zhanyuan and Li Chun chatted and seemed to see that they had taken the lead.  In the picture, only Feng Guozhang suddenly frowned. Except for the first and second days, the Hubei army should be said to have fought well. Why did it lose ground so much today?  Is there a change of conductor?  Or has the support reached a point where it no longer means being stingy with ammunition?

    At the gate of the city, Yang Qiu ignored Hakan's threat and personally led three battalions and a detachment on the left and right gates to break off the rear. In order to prevent Feng Guozhang from seeing the truth, in addition to ordering to fire at full speed at the maximum distance, he also gritted his teeth and left all the troops behind.  Machine guns, pretending to be full of defense.  (. Update the latest chapter of this book)

    Although it is fake, the drama still needs to be done. In addition to one Maxim, there are a total of 24 light machine guns gathered on the position. The eight platoons of the guard company alone have as many as eight light machine guns, so it can still be temporarily  Suppress the momentum of Beiyang's impact.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    Seeing so many firepower points suddenly appearing on the city gate, Feng Guozhang's brows finally gradually cleared and he ordered the Beiyang Machine Gun Team to dispatch.

    Beiyang Equipment Maxim¡¯sThe time is not long. The advantage is that the machine gunners are all handed over by German instructors. Beiyang is rich and generous and does not skimp on bullets, so each machine gun can pass a lot of bullets. Compared with Yang Qiu who is temporarily deployed into battle, he can only sweep and attack without dealing with it.  Butter hands on puzzles are much better.

    Several Maxim machine guns began to sweep from bottom to top, and the bullets chirped outside the stone wall bunker where they were hiding. The firepower of the heavy machine guns was not comparable to that of the light machine guns, and it was not a matter of one plus one being greater than two, so Beiyang gradually suppressed it.  After stopping the firepower and seeing the enemy immobilized by his own machine gun, Jia Deyao took the lead and lowered his body, pulled out two automatic pistols and charged like an angry wild boar.

    The generation of Beiyang officers who had to study in Japan were deeply influenced by the Japanese Army. During the Russo-Japanese War, the "Army God" Nogi Nogi Nogi's original pig surprise tactic was also brought back by Weixiao. Three wedge-shaped skirmishers.  The lines were all shaped like arrows, and all the soldiers inserted their bayonets and ran in a zigzag manner, with their heads down and their heads lowered. Beast-like howls and echoes came and went one after another.  But this kind of imitation is just a superficial resemblance. First of all, the Beiyang soldiers do not have the fanatical bushido spirit of Japan. Secondly, the pig attack tactic also requires fire cover. In terms of firepower, Beiyang's artillery is only slightly stronger than Japan's at that time. Once the heavy machine guns enter  They did not dare to fire again after the assault, and the continuity and oppression during the assault were unparalleled. However, this also confirmed that later generations said that the early six towns of Beiyang had the strength of the Japanese army was not empty talk.

    The soldiers were still a little nervous when they saw this kind of assault tactic for the first time. After all, Russia relied on a large number of Maxim machine guns to be able to block it. Now they only have one heavy machine gun on their side. Due to the lack of continuity of the light machine gun, facing this  This assault tactic still has limitations, so Yang Qiu immediately ordered the use of grenades.

    Jia Deyao was leading his troops in a fierce charge. When he was about to reach the position, a string of small black dots were suddenly thrown out of the battlements and trenches of the position.

    This is?

    Just when he was stunned, Yang Qiu showed a smile. The long-handled grenade that he had hidden until now finally showed a miraculous effect. The densely packed grenades exploded in front of the position and rolled away. The 72 fragments on the preset shell exploded quickly.  It disintegrated and fired in all directions. Before the Beiyang infantry could understand what was going on, they were blown past by shrapnel. The shrunken version of the pig-shooting tactical arrow was blown to pieces by a stream of metal fragments, and those who were not dead were also lightly destroyed.  machine gun.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    It was also the first time that the guard company used grenades in actual combat and saw such good results. They smashed them even more vigorously. Most of the more than a thousand grenades they brought were consumed in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of the moment when Beiyang was stunned, light and heavy machine guns fired wildly.  Large numbers of soldiers fell like wheat.

    After seeing so many "small bombs" suddenly flying out from behind the enemy's position through the telescope, Feng Guozhang and many Beiyang officers felt a little tight in their chests. They did not expect that the other side had such a trump card. Wang Zhanyuan was so angry that he ordered a second wave of attacks.  I don't want to give my opponent a chance to breathe.

    "Commander, Jiuli Pass!"

    After two hours of fierce battle, Jiuli Pass was the first to emit a large plume of smoke. This was a previously agreed signal. Once it could no longer be defended, the fire was immediately launched. Firstly, it notified Wushengguan that they were beginning to retreat. Secondly, it allowed the Beiyang infantry to retreat.  There is no way to quickly capture the pass and ensure that the enemy cannot use the two places before retreating to Wusheng Pass.  Immediately afterwards, Pingjing Pass was also filled with flames. Feng Guozhang, Wang Zhanyuan and others who were watching the battle from a distance all showed knowing smiles. After the left and right passes were breached, they could easily attack Wusheng Pass from both sides.

    "Kettle!"

    The continuous smoke rising from the left and right levels made Hao Wenbao anxious. As he shouted, the deputy machine gunner turned on the kettle and poured cold water on the barrel of the Madsen light machine gun. The hot barrel was immediately sizzling with the cold water.  Although this can speed up the cooling of the barrel, it will cause too much damage to the barrel. But as soon as he sees the densely packed Beiyang infantry, he can't care so much.  After the curved 30-round magazine was stuffed as hard as two jugs of cold water poured through the barrel, he immediately picked up the machine gun and drove it back to the sandbag. Amidst the clicking sound of shooting, several Beiyangs who were caught off guard were caught off guard.  The infantry was immediately knocked to the ground.

    The light machine gun cannot completely block the enemy compared to the heavy machine gun, so it is necessary to constantly change the fighting position to avoid being targeted. By the time he got into a pile of rubble and set up the machine gun again, the entire Wusheng Pass defense line was already crumbling, and the remaining heavy machine gun was going crazy.  It seemed to be spitting out long flames, and the deputy machine gunner connected three ammunition belts together in succession.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    But camouflage is just camouflage after all. It is impossible to defend Wusheng Pass with three battalions. When Hao Wenbao pinned a Beiyang squad to the ground and had to retreat, the squad leader of the heavy machine gun squad attached a big bomb to the fuse.  Although the commander promised to replenish them with new ones immediately after returning to Hankou, the soldiers were still reluctant to part with them. However, it was impossible to quickly evacuate to a safe distance with the heavy Maxim. In order not to fall into the enemy's hands, it must be completely blown up.

    After the squad leader connected the fuse, he took a photoHe patted the machine gunner on the shoulder, and the latter immediately tied the trigger with a rope. The deputy machine gunner also connected several ammunition belts, fixed them with wooden sticks to allow the machine gun to fire automatically, and then withdrew from the machine gun fort.  Four boxes of bullets can only last for a few minutes in full automatic mode, so after leaving the machine gun fort, the machine gun squad ran away and ran southward. A large number of partners behind them also received orders and began to retreat.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, you must."

    "I know." Yang Qiu interrupted Hakan. He turned around and saw that several engineering soldiers, their bodies covered with branches and dead grass, were ready to retreat. He immediately led the last battalion and guards to light the pyre and set off smoke cover.  The company retreated south.

    Jia Deyao, who was stunned by the grenade, finally reorganized his army and launched the attack again with the second wave of two battalions. However, this time it was surprisingly easy. Not only were there no dense bullets, but there were no rattling machine guns.  With a loud sound, the position was broken in the blink of an eye.  Such an easy success gave him a warning sign, but he didn't pay too much attention to it because the soldiers at the front had already begun to rush forward, trying to climb over the pass and enter Guancheng.

    No matter how many soldiers there were, it was better not to resist, so they rushed to Guancheng one after another. After Jia Deyao ran in, he discovered that all the Hubei troops stationed here had evacuated. Only a flying tiger flag flying high suddenly came from the south.  Poe raised his head, and just as he was about to continue his pursuit, he suddenly discovered an unusual place.

    Where are the bomb craters in Guancheng?

    In six days, the artillery dropped no less than a thousand artillery shells on this obvious Guancheng. Logically speaking, the surface of the Guancheng must be full of potholes. But now it is almost filled with gravel. Normally this is nothing, but could it be that Hubei?  Does the army still have the leisure to fight and repair at the same time?  More and more Beiyang soldiers crawled in, vying to cut off the ears of the dead Hubei soldiers to receive rewards. It was not until a burning star appeared under the southern city wall that Jia Deyao suddenly opened his mouth and his pupils suddenly shrank into a little cold star!

    A few kilometers away from the southern slope of Wusheng Pass, the soldiers of the First Division who had come down early stopped and looked quietly at the smoke-filled Wusheng Third Pass behind them. The intensive sound of gunfire made everyone feel uncomfortable, although  Retreating was part of the plan, but when I thought about giving up my persistence these days, I still felt a little sad when I thought about the sacrificed comrades.

    As the sound of artillery became more and more intense, everyone began to worry about the fate of Yang Qiu and several troops who had left the rear behind. Even Yue Peng and Wu Zhaolin were not immune. The hand holding the handle of the knife was unknowingly covered with hot sweat.  .

    Dai Tianqiu quickly discovered the solemn atmosphere and quickly turned on the camera to take pictures. The solemn faces were recorded on film. Since Yang Qiu issued a hush-hush order, most people except officers and some soldiers did not know about the situation.  Plan¡¤This made the soldiers even more uneasy.

    "Look! It's the commander's handsome flag!" Just when everyone was most anxious, young Chen Zutao suddenly jumped up from the crowd. Following his finger, Dai Tianqiu immediately saw the flying tiger flag.  It has risen high from the southern foothills and moved southward little by little.

    The flag instantly caught everyone's attention. People they knew, people they didn't know, soldiers or civilians, and even ordinary people living nearby saw this flag. Many people who didn't know the truth couldn't help crying. They knew they couldn't blame Yang Qiu for this.  ¡¤Don¡¯t blame the soldiers. An association plus several battalions, less than 6,000 people, used their lives and blood to cover the most elite Beiyang for seven days!  What else needs to be celebrated more than these?

    Dai Tianqiu pressed the shutter quickly, wanting to take a picture of everyone here. When the camera was aimed at the flag, a thick column of smoke suddenly rushed out of the Wushengguan city that should have been occupied!

    Immediately afterwards, more and larger smoke pillars rose up one after another, and huge fireballs accompanied the smoke pillars to spread around. A moment later, a series of deafening huge explosions filled each pair of ears. The smoke pillars gradually became entangled together, forming a huge  A mushroom cloud appeared over Wusheng Pass. The roaring shock wave could be felt several miles away, and the ground beneath our feet shook a few times.

    Although Jia Deyao immediately shouted bad and lay down on the spot, he still could not save the thousands of soldiers who had rushed into Guancheng. Explosions occurred from under the craters, and the inner walls of the city wall also sprayed out countless fragments like explosions.  Stone rubble, explosions also occurred on the hillside outside, and the entire Wusheng Pass exploded!  The strong shock wave swept up tons of rubble, roaring and sweeping down all upright and uncovered tools.

    Smoke filled the air and dust flew. In an instant, Wu Shengguan seemed to disappear from all eyes, leaving only a shadow filled with smoke. When Jia Deyao finally survived the explosion, he looked around with scars all over his body cut by stones.  Only then did I realize that Wu Shengguan, which had been filled with cheers and shouts just now, could no longer see anyone.

    While the south side was surprised, the eyes of Feng Huafu and the Beiyang generals in the north also stared out, and smoke clouds up to 100 meters high rose into the sky.??, carrying rubble and gravel, sweeping past like a terrible whirlwind.  At the same time as a heartbreaking pain was felt, more than a thousand elite Beiyang infantrymen who first rushed into Wusheng Pass were enveloped in black smoke and gravel in the blink of an eye. After the whirlwind gradually dissipated, the entire Wusheng Pass was completely destroyed.  Everything was dead silent.

    Feng Huafu pinched his chest, his eyes were red!

    ? ? ? ? ?Vicious!  The person who came up with this plan is so cruel!  Therefore, he laid a trap and took advantage of the moment when his own side was happy and did not rush to investigate carefully after occupying it, and instigated a terrible massacre in an instant!  Those were the elites of nearly two battalions!  Coupled with the consumption of these days, Beiyang actually killed and injured nearly 5,000 people for Wusheng Pass!  In other words, before entering Hubei, a mixed association has already been lost!  !  What's more serious is that this explosion will directly cause the road to enter the customs to be completely paralyzed. The strongest artillerymen at hand will not be able to move. It will probably take four or five days to open up a new road. By then,  The Hubei army has been ready for a long time!

    The power of bombs filled with a ton of German yellow gunpowder hidden in Wusheng Pass and detonated at the same time is extremely terrifying.  Judging from the power, the entire Wusheng Pass seems to have been ravaged by hundreds of 5mm heavy artillery shells. Not to mention that Wusheng Pass has a radius of less than four square kilometers. Even the old town of Hankou cannot withstand such a terrifying attack.  impact.

    The fluttering military flags began to pick up speed in the silence. When Yang Qiu, who was at the front, appeared in the first division's field of vision with the Duanhou soldiers, everyone cheered, and the haze of being forced to retreat was blown away in an instant.

    "Take advantage of it."

    Walking in front of Yue Peng and Wu Zhaolin, Yang Qiu took off his military cap and said firmly: "We will be back."
