Chapter 73: The North Sea's Temptation

Yang Qiu was already satisfied with getting 10,000 Hanyang-made and 150 bullets. He was not worried about how Ju Zheng passed the "Regulations on the Organization of the Hubei Military Government of the Republic of China" when Sun Wu participated in politics in advance.

Both Ju Zheng and Tang Hualong are smart and capable people, so they will never rush Li Yuanhong to step down and let Sun Wu take the lead at this time, nor will they risk civil strife against themselves when the army is under pressure. Moreover, they have the confession they provide. As long as Zhang Zhenwu is held tightly, Sun Wu will be unable to support him. As for Liu Gong, their voices are not very effective at this moment.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wenjing returned to Hanyang with the armour and news of the Party Congress last night. Just like in a parallel world, Ju Zhenghu pretended to be a tiger-like power and raised Mr. Sun's banner, lied that the regulations were drafted by Mr. Sun Wen's "superficial plan". They just made some changes according to the current situation. Sun Wu and Zhang Zhenwu were still a little resistant at first, but after they stuffed the confession to both, they both closed their mouths.

The note was his confession to Ju Zheng. The bandits who made trouble at night in the confession said that they were instructed by Jin Lai Li, and all the firearms were also brought by Jin Lai Li from a party member. Although they did not say who the party was, no one knew the relationship between Jin Lai Li and Zhang Zhenwu! This confession made Sun Wu's back chill. He knew that if this confession was revealed, Zhang Zhenwu would definitely be arrested as the leader of the bandits, and might even be used to completely crack down on the Communist Youth Association and the literary club so that the Tongmenghui could intervene in Hubei to grab the great contribution of the First Yi! Now Li Yuanhong's position as governor can no longer be moved, and the military power was divided half because of Yang Qiu's appearance. If they could not manage it well, they would probably be "sacrificed"! So they were very aware of the current affairs and closed their mouths and watched the "Regulations" be passed.

After hearing this, Yang Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or worry. Mr. Sun lost ten times in ten battles, and with the "God of Military" Huang Keqiang, the pair of partners really did military... After finally succeeding, they were neither in China. No wonder later generations liked to say that Wuchang's first righteousness was the largest peach in the world, and even he was attracted by this big peach.

The military storm that worried everyone the most was slightly relieved. Jiang Tai rolled up his sleeves and personally directed the unloading of artillery at the dock. Although the 30 Wusheng Qishan cannons could not be compared with the Krupp of the Artillery Battalion and the Second Battalion, it solved the problem of insufficient artillery in the right-road army. The dozens of artillery soldiers who arrived with the ship voluntarily joined the right-road army gave him the capital to form two more artillery battalions.

"Commander, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is about to begin, who will be sent?" Zhang Wenjing handed over the list of military orders to his deputy and asked, "Ju Zheng and Tang Hualong both require you to attend in person."

Although this ceremony of sacrifice is similar to a show, this kind of thing is still very important in this era, so Yang Qiu thought about it and said, "Guard Company, the first battalion of the Second Regiment, attended, Fan Liangshan and Ma Kui accompanied me." After Zhang Wenjing recorded it, he was about to turn around to arrange it when he saw Ji Fucheng, who was staying in Hanyang, running over with sweat: "Commander! Wu Shengguan urgently reported... Beiyang attacked!"

*******

"It's Beiyang! Everyone is energetic! Machine guns should save bullets... Cannons, fire them!"

A row of accurate bullets fired at the edge of the battlement bunker, and dust flowers exploded in front of the city gate. With sharp shouts and whistles, the eight five-life seven-cannons brought into the pass bunker began to roar. The shells passed through the pass and landed at the foot of the pass. The brown-red fire ball immediately filled the north gate slope.

In the corner tower, He Xi's smile on his face all day long gradually became harder. In the camera, there were thousands of Qing troops rushing over from both sides. Although most of them were still from Henan, the Zhili military uniforms mixed with them still stabbed all the eyes. The Zhili military uniforms were very low when charging, and the running was quick and slow motion was skillful. In addition to the scattered infantry line, can we still maintain such skillful tactical movements in mountains like Wusheng Pass. Can we find a second such unit besides Beiyang?

Although Beiyang has invested in the attack, He Xi is not afraid of this scale. At present, in addition to the two main battalions of the first regiment, Shi Xiaolou also led the team to join the right-wing army, and used the past few days to continue to rush from Henan to join the soldiers from Henan to form the fourth battalion of the first regiment. Yesterday, hundreds of students and young people came from Macheng, Xiaogan and other places. They were originally planning to take the train to transport military supplies back to Hanyang to receive training first, but now it seems that they cannot leave for the time being. So he immediately sent the weapons he brought to them, and then transferred veterans to form the fifth battalion, taking advantage of the opportunity to defend against Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass on both sides, so that they knew what war was.

After the artillery inside the pass opened fire, the shells on the opposite side also fell down rapidly. The sound of the shells breaking through the wind made the veterans breathe a sigh of relief. The five-generation seven-mountain cannons that were still comparable to their own sounds, rather than the Beiyang standard German-Japanese-made seven-generation five-level cannons. This shows that this attack is just a test of Beiyang. If it really exerts force, it will probably be the more powerful German-made shells.

The artillery soldiers were coming and going, and from time to time they could see the scene of soldiers being blown away from close range. The bunker reinforced with sandbags and stones for several days was repeatedly ravaged. Shi Xiaolou hid in a bunker, and his face could no longer see the depressedness a few days ago. Instead, his eyes were lit with excitement. Being able to fight with Beiyang might be his biggest dream in his life.

Under the supervision and leadership of Beiyang soldiers, the Henan City Camp did not run around like the previous few days, and retreated after a few shots. The soldiers of the two battalions braved cold sweat and rushed up the hillside with shells. Seeing the enemy getting closer, Shi Xiaolou took the lead in holding up the Austro-Hungarian Chalimann's lance. This gun was pulled from the body of Beiyang Mabiao soldiers when cleaning the battlefield that night. Because Beiyang Mabiao slipped fast, only six were seized, and all of them were distributed to the officer with the best marksmanship.

As long as an experienced veteran put this butt on his shoulder, he could immediately feel that it was different from Hanyang's creation, which made people secretly praise Beiyang as the most well-equipped unit in China. When the sight of the sight of a Beiyang veteran, Shi Xiaolou fired the first shot. The power of the 7.92mm round-head bullet in Beidagu was similar to that in Hanyang's creation, and it was not as recoil as the Dezhou pointed bullet. But what surprised him was whether this was this, but the Beiyang soldiers on the opposite side seemed to know that someone was aiming at him, and while pulling the trigger, they actually lie down and avoided the killing attack.

The crisp gunfire sound was like a signal. The door of the light and heavy machine gunners hiding in the bunker first opened fire and squirted violently, especially the two Maxim machine guns arranged on both sides of the pass and half buried underground to protect them with thick sandbags, the craziest. The cross-sprayed flames beat the Qing soldiers who were rushing here and ran away with their heads, and the hissing rain of bullets continued.

After Shi Xiaolou quickly retreated from the shell and loaded it again, a large number of soldiers from the Henan City Camp had been hit by machine guns. But he was careful and found that there were very few Beiyang soldiers who were actually hit, because most of them were like the guy just now. After reaching the distance, they began to lie down and crawl forward. It was undoubtedly a dream to hit the crawl soldiers at a distance of 300 meters.

"Recharge..."

The light machine gunner next to him shouted and reminded his comrades. After he changed into a new thirty-round magazine, several harsh whistles came from the opposite side. The crawling Beiyang soldiers suddenly jumped up like tigers, and then ran quickly toward the pass with a diagonal line.

"Be careful..." As soon as the light machine gunner aimed at a Beiyang soldier, a long tongue of flame spurted out from the bushes on the opposite side. Beiyang also invested two Maxim heavy machine guns this time. Unlike the half-baked right-road army machine gunners, the Beiyang machine gunners trained by German instructors are more skillful and can make full use of the firepower of heavy machine guns to capture gaps that need to be torn.

Jijiu's bullets flew over the head of the light machine gun squad, and more of them hit the bunker. The gap between the light machine gun and the heavy machine gun was completely revealed. This frontal attack was completely passively beaten. The two spare Maxim squads were nervous when they saw that the situation was not good. Four Maxim immediately suppressed the Beiyang machine gun team. The Madeson light machine gun could finally free up his hands to suppress the Beiyang infantry at full speed.

In the distant valley, Wang Zhanyuan saw through the telescope that he had shot out the two Maxim machine gun positions that his opponent had hidden. He also had a hint of pride under his two beards, so he carefully handed over the Zeiss eight times telescope he bought from Germany to Ma Ban.

Li Chun glanced at this valuable thing, because a few years ago, Togo Heihachiro, who was popular among senior officers in the Tsushima Hai battle that shocked the world, used a telescope and smiled: "It's still Brother Zichun who is powerful. A team and two battalions of Yi Army have tested the enemy's reality. Now, I'm afraid Zhizhu is already in control, right?"

Wang Zhanyuan is nearly ten years older than Li Chun, but the two have a good personal relationship. When they heard him say that he was holding Zhizhu, he waved his hand: "Use two electric guns to cross and shoot in a diagonal manner, and the remaining two are ready. The light machine and fast cannons provide close-range support. After the cannon is interrupted, it is very powerful! It looks like an inexperienced riot, but it looks like an old officer in the eight towns. Unfortunately, the machine gunners are not experienced enough, so they choose to shoot in a hundred rounds in a row. The firepower seems to be fierce but consumes too much. It should have been equipped recently."

"Brother Zichun, I remember that Ba Towns had not been equipped with racing electric guns and light machine fast cannons. Where did they come from?"

Wang Zhanyuan also shook his head: "I don't know either. I have reported this to my master. I think there should be news coming these days."

"I don't have any machine guns. Their cannons are not as good as us. The range and power are too small. You can still take them off by gritting your teeth." After Li Chun said that, he suddenly turned his head and smiled, "By the way, Zichun, didn't the Military Control Commission ask your 3rd assistant to help? Don't you want to do your best?"

"Who said I didn't do my best...a whole team!" Wang Zhanyuan laughed and pointed at Wusheng Pass in the distance: "Xiushan, you don't know that the railway dispatch is chaotic. Most of my 3rd associations cannot come at all. Your 11 association has not yet entered Henan, and there is no artillery to help break the pass? You can't fight, you can't fight!"

"Ha ha......."

Li Chun couldn't help but smile and said, "In the world, it's probably only Brother Zichun who dares to take such a chance! He was afraid of being angry when he heard about Yinwu Tower."

Wang Zhanyuan snorted coldly: "He is the kindness of the lord, not my kindness! I don't work hard for him Yinwulou. If he has the ability, he will deal with my artillery. I will immediately take down Wusheng Pass without saying a word."

Li Chun ignored Wang Zhanyuan's words. Yinchang saved Yuan Shikai, so he was always called a mercy by the servants of the Yuan family, but they never admitted it and asked with a smile: "How is the imperial envoy now? It can be blocked here for five or six days. If we don't enter Hubei again, we will be unable to clean up the mess."

"What else can we do? If we can't transfer, we will draw half of the 13th Battalion of Henan Zhaocheng. After three days of fighting, not only did not take it down, but there were hundreds of casualties. Now I heard that we still have to pay attention to the 29th Mixed Association. But Baofen is afraid that something will happen in Henan after taking out the 29th Association will not be able to respond to the emergency, so he has been dragging it down and not handing over it."

"The Battle of the City Camp was the foundation of the Yi Army back then. It could still be fought more than ten years ago. Now..." Li Chun was full of disdain for the Battle of the City Camp, but Wang Zhan Cheng smiled heavily and said, "After all, it's good to be a veteran, how many days of training will be safe."

"By the way. I heard that the Sa Control has arrived in Jiujiang. Zaixun and Yinchang both asked him to go north and shoot Wuchang immediately. Zichun guessed how he replied?" The two seemed to be unwilling to the battle in front of the pass. Li Chun even smiled and said as he walked: "He returned to the navy and the navy rushed to the night. The soldiers were exhausted and resting. He said that when the army arrived, the rebels would know the power of the navy's naval guns."

"The Sage Commander and Li Songqing have a teacher-student relationship, so they will naturally not fight to the death. But we..." Wang Zhanyuan said closer: "I heard that British ambassador Zhu Erdian has been talking to the adults these days, but Zaifeng, the old beard, just dragged his beard to prevent the adults from coming out. Should we do something?"

Although Li Chun was younger, he was not confused about major issues and quickly stopped him: "The court has already asked the adults to serve as the governor of Huguang, but he seems not interested in the two lakes. Now the Hubei chaos is growing day by day, and Zaifeng is more anxious than us. I guess... the wind will change in two days."

"Two Lakes...hehe, these relatives can really do it!"

While the two were laughing, they were already shouting and killing in front of Wusheng Pass. A Beiyang team, who was put into the test, launched the last wave of charge in the rain of bullets. The Henan Camp sent in the city camp also followed behind their butts and shouted and killed. The explosion, screams and the sound of bullets formed a real war picture. Many inexperienced right-road soldiers were killed by the old Beiyang gunman because they were a little too high when they fired.

Although Beiyang is brave, Wusheng Pass, which was stationed in three battalions in a row, seems too weak. Facing the dense rain of bullets, Beiyang also suffered a lot of casualties, but Wang Zhanyuan did not care about how many people died. He just wanted to test the truth before the official starts.

The first battle between the right-wing army and Beiyang ended like this. When Shi Xiaolou picked up a more suitable infantry De Zao Mauser, he and everyone knew that after this test, he would probably be a real hard fight next time he returned to Beiyang.
