    In the quagmire, two corpses covered in mud could no longer distinguish their faces. Their ears had been cut off by soldiers to receive rewards, and their shirts had been plucked out.

    In the awning not far away, a bonfire was red. A dozen Beiyang soldiers turned a blind eye to the corpse and gathered around, talking and laughing. There was a huge Maxim machine gun on the tripod next to it, and a long canvas belt stretched from the receiver.  Extending to the ammunition box, the bullets gleamed with copper light under the reflection of the flames.  This is Wangjiadian, less than fifteen kilometers away from Xiaochang. Due to the lessons learned from Chenjia'ao, in addition to four machine gun teams, this small town with a large amount of grain and ammunition also has an infantry standard from the Henan 29th Association and an infantry standard from the Fifth Town.  battalion, and there are also two baggage battalions and an artillery company to assist in the defense.

    The Beiyang soldiers who were warming themselves by the fire in the awning were distracted. A Beiyang soldier took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket. After walking around, he held his gun and said sadly: "Brothers, how long do you think this battle will last?"  The soldier added a few pieces of firewood, and the bright red bonfire could be seen from miles away. He shook his head and said, "Who knows, Bazhen didn't know what kind of evil he committed. What's the point of gritting his teeth and carrying it with all his strength? Everyone, sit down."  It would be nice to reminisce about old times and then go to the emperor to ask for a reward from the party."

    "That's a nice thought. Do you know how many members of the Eight Town Army are members of the Party?"

    "What a bunch of bullshit party members! They are just a bunch of fake foreigners who want to compete with our Lord Yuan for the world! They think they are the new fucking youth after saying a few words in foreign language. They say that the imperial court is traitorous. Why don't they just give their butts to Japan?  Damn it, I¡¯ll have to break their eggs when I get older.¡±

    "I feel strange, what kind of immortal is Yang Qiu? Why haven't I heard of it before? He is a cannon and a machine gun. Is it possible that he has a better relationship with the Germans than the adults? He is not  Why are you having a party and making trouble?"

    "Who knows! When I catch him, Lao Fei will ask Chou Yin Mao."

    "Catch a hairy ball. By the time Feng Juntong reaches Hankou, I'm afraid he will have already gone to Hunan. Didn't I hear that he made the Hunan man named Tan feel comfortable?"

    The soldiers were bragging and chatting about gossip that came from unknown sources. When the butt of the cigarette was burned, they heard a sudden noise in the wind and rain. The machine gunner had been leaning on the fighting position, so he reacted the fastest.  Hearing the noise, he immediately fired the trigger, but before he could see clearly the direction of the sound, several flames suddenly flashed in his eyeballs, and then he felt a rush of heat, as if several candles had been stuffed into his throat.  Uncomfortable.

    "Well done!"

    In the wind and rain on the opposite side, the gunner squad leader patted the gunner Ma Deyu hard on the shoulder and shouted: "Quick, two more hits!"

    The red bonfire was the best coordinate. Seeing that he had blown away half of the machine gun canopy with one shot, Ma Deyu also had a trace of red on his face. He excitedly stuffed the cannonballs into the cannonballs with his comrades, four with five guns and seven cannons.  He kept hitting the cannonballs on the awning.

    "Third Battalion! Enter. Second Battalion to the left! First Battalion to the rightMachine gun! Machine gun!"

    Seeing that the machine gun that threatened the most was overturned, the three battalions that had been preparing for the attack immediately emerged from the wind and rain. At the same time, shouts also sounded from the west, and two regiments shouted while rushing towards Wangjiadian.  , shouts of attack came from all directions.

    Several Wehrmacht soldiers pulled the scooter with hemp ropes. Due to the rain and mud, everyone really spent a lot of effort to bring the heavy machine gun over. The infantry had already grabbed a high position in front, so when they arrived, they immediately lifted the scooter.  He opened the raincloth and inserted the bullet, and a long gun flame suddenly appeared in the darkness.  On one side, their own machine guns began to fire fiercely, and the dozen or so recruits behind them had already begun to pull back the damaged Beiyang machine gun. A few brave ones simply straightened up and carried the ammunition boxes into the darkness.  Run privately.

    The lessons learned from Chenjia'ao made the Beiyang Army stationed here not dare to neglect. The officer had earlier ordered the soldiers to stay in their fighting positions when sleeping, so they responded quickly this time, but the shouts all over the sky still made the Beiyang soldiers turn pale with fright.  , due to the heavy wind and rain outside, and no one knew how many troops had arrived, many people could only fire at the looming shadows in the darkness. At this time, the muzzle flash that lit up was obviously the first choice for heavy firepower.

    The six Japanese seven-year-old five-gun guns quickly lowered their muzzles. When the adjustment was completed and the gunner stuffed the first shell, a scene that surprised them appeared. They saw the fire-breathing heavy machine gun suddenly stopped firing. Although they were still loyal to the original  A cannonball was fired, but not only was there no scene of flesh and blood flying in the smoke, but instead, long flames appeared dozens of meters away.

    When did Maxim move so quickly?

    Before the heavy machine guns were dealt with, more than a dozen light machine guns joined in, and then a dense fireball shot up from in front of the Beiyang position. The newly formed grenadiers could finally no longer use the iron-like training bombs every day.  They ran wildly among the Beiyang soldiers like they were having fun.

    The infantry quickly seized a position along the channel opened by the grenade, and thenSeveral light machine gunners spread out along the trenches to the two wings. Under the double attack of faster than rifles and grenades, the outer positions of Wangjiadian were in chaos. Because they and the enemy were mixed together, the artillerymen  I don't dare to fire at will, I can only wait until the situation becomes clearer.

    Suddenly!  A rumbling sound rang out from the center of Wang's store. A five-seven-year-old artillery shell fired by a gunner of the National Defense Force finally had an effect, detonating hundreds of boxes of artillery shells stored in the warehouse. A huge explosion spread from the town, and flames spread out.  In the blink of an eye, half of the town was swallowed up.  Now Beiyang was in complete chaos, especially the Henan soldiers of the 29th Association. Their combat effectiveness was originally poor, but when they saw their own ammunition depot was hit, they became headless flies. In the end, the Beiyang officers had to gather the troops to keep the remaining troops.  He also sent cavalry to Guangshui and Xiaochang for help.

    At this moment, Xiaogan didn¡¯t know that Wang¡¯s store had been attacked behind him. Feng Guozhang was lying on the table looking at a map. An oil lamp in the corner flickered on and off, which seemed to indicate that the old man, who was already full of hair, was in a bad mood.

    Beiyang, who had disapproved of the Hui Party and the Hubei Army before setting off, was completely in trouble this time. In fact, Feng Guozhang felt something was wrong when he was robbed at Wusheng Pass, but he still did not expect that the battle at Wusheng Pass would be so brutal.  , especially the carefully laid ambush at the end, which directly kicked Wang Zhanyuan's Third Mixed Association out of the war.  There were more than 4,000 people missing at once, and even he felt that the military strength was a bit insufficient. In addition, Xiaochang had suffered serious losses in the past few days. More than 2,000 elite soldiers who had been trained for so long were lost in vain, leaving this Xibing  The master was very distressed.

    "Sicheng, Xiushanit seems we have encountered a tough situation this time."

    Feng Guozhang raised his head and glanced at Li Chun and Wang Yujia, and asked with a cold face: "How is it over there in Chun? When will the ammunition arrive?"

    Li Chun and Wang Yujia did not dare to speak because the Wushengguan railway was cut off and their savings were almost at the bottom after a few days of war. The key was when Wang Zhanyuan and the Third Mixed Association could deliver the ammunition. In the end, Liu Chengen replied.  : "Hua Fu, don't worry too much. It's difficult to walk in this damn weather. It's excusable for a day or two in the spring evening."

    Feng Guozhang grunted a few times and did not continue speaking. Liu Chengen was Yuan Shikai's confidant, so he had to give him a few points. What's more, the weather was really bad, and many soldiers were suffering from wind disease. In order to raise enough ginger to cook  With ginger tea to ward off the cold, he even sent troops to plunder everywhere. This made the locals in Hubei even more offended, and even many gentry avoided Beiyang.

    Li Chun can be regarded as Feng Guozhang's man. Seeing that he was upset, he immediately said: "The military commander can rest assured, it will probably clear up in the next two days. When the time comes, I will personally lead the army to take the lead. I don't believe they can still stop it!"

    Wang Yujia also spat hard and said bitterly: "We have consumed a lot, but they are not much better. More than three thousand corpses are still lying in the ditch. We have almost exhausted the little wealth in Laoba Town! Xin  The fourth town in Hunan that we came to is still in Yuezhou, and it will take two days to get there now, not to mention that they are all gangsters who can¡¯t even use a gun! After the weather clears up, we can rush for two days, and we will definitely open up the situation!"

    Zhang Lianfen is the Chief of Staff of the First Army and has known Feng Guozhang for many years. The latter immediately called him back after he became the military commander. At this moment, when he saw that the generals were talking about fighting, he reminded: "Sicheng is right, the frontal view no longer requires too much  Worry, if we are wasted, Yang Qiu will be slowly wasted to death. What I am worried about is Jingshan!"

    "go on."

    Seeing Feng Guozhang turn his head, Zhang Lianfen knew that he was also worried about Jingshan, and continued: "Jingshan is the most important barrier in the south of Dahong Mountain. Opening it is equivalent to opening the road to Hanchuan. Looking at the past few days, Yang Qiu has made extraordinary military use.  , we have been blocked here for a long time. In the past few days, troops have been harassing our food routes and ambushing patrol soldiers along the Dahongshan Mountains. If we cannot guarantee this going south may also be a problem."

    Feng Guozhang nodded. He was actually worried about Jingshan on the side.  During this period, the town of Yang Qiu has been attacking in various places based on Jingshan. Thirty percent of the current battle losses have been consumed by such "small battles". If they cannot be dealt with, even if they open up Xiaogan and go south, they will still face  Danger of being cut off behind.  He had already been thinking about dividing the troops, but he just didn't know how many people should be sent.

    Sending a target is definitely not enough. An alliance can barely suppress the enemies here, but annihilation is impossible. Because the terrain of Jingshan is complicated, I will go on an expedition to an unfamiliar place, unless it is!  Feng Guozhang glanced at the map. Just as he was about to speak, the adviser rushed in. Zhang Lianfen stopped him and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

    "Oops!" The consultant shouted anxiously, not caring to breathe: "Wang Wang's store was attacked!"

    "What!" Wang Yujia had the most explosive temper and grabbed the consultant's collar excitedly: "Say it again? Where is it?"

    "It's Wang's store!"

    Liu Chengen¡¯s face turned green,This store is stationed by his 29 Hun Cheng Xie, plus the Beiyang Bubu, baggage, etc., it is almost a Xie!  How could it be attacked?  He quickly asked: "How many people are there? How is the food?"

    Even Feng Guozhang pricked up his ears. Wangjiadian was a transfer station connecting Wushengguan and Xiaogan. Thousands of boxes of ammunition and grain were stored there. The consultant also knew the importance and continued: "The wind and rain are too heavy, and I can't tell the specific details."  How many people are there? There are only a lot of cannons and machine guns. Judging from the posture, there should be a coordinated crowd!"

    "You bastard! Military commander, let me lead a team to intercept them immediately!"

    "I'll go, my 22nd mark is still at the Weidian, it won't take more than an hour."

    The attack on Wangjiadian suddenly made the front line nervous. Zhang Lianfen said even more nervously: "Military commander, we still have five days of rations left here. All the ammunition is shipped in the spring. The next batch of rations will be available in at least six days."  Come, do you see?"

    The sudden accident made Feng Guozhang calm down, and his white hair seemed to stand on his head under the light. Zhang Lianfen, who was familiar with him, knew that this time he was aroused to murderous intent!  Before he could speak, he suddenly pointed his hand towards Jingshan and sneered: "Don't you just want to force me to divide my troops and weaken the front? Okay! The old man will give Yang Qiu a face this time!"

    "Sicheng!"

    Wang Yujia held the handle of the knife in his hand, with veins popping out on his arm, and took a step forward: "Commander the military, give the order, if I don't have a happy face this time, it's his grandson's child!"

    "Bring your fourth town, I'll give you ten days! Buy me a road from Jingshan, Tianmen to Hanchuan!"

    "Commander, can a town be?" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the master would risk his life and take away a town with just one opening!  Zhang Lianfen hurriedly tried to persuade him, but was interrupted by Feng Guozhang. He turned around and said with an evil spirit: "Want to surround him? Then I'll see if he can eat it!"
