The steam train with a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour took six hours to finally send Yang Qiu to Wu Shengguan's feet. The aura of war that had just gotten off the car made Ke Shao, Yu Dehai and others who were meeting on the road nervous (read the text novel and arrive ‘’). First...

Hundreds of wounded soldiers who had retreated from Wusheng Pass gathered here. While bandaging them, a few medical soldiers were preparing to return to Hanyang. The hired master took advantage of the truce to move the bodies of the soldiers here. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one with young faces with broken limbs and burnt black bodies, causing the soldiers from the three battalions who came from Jingshan to grit their teeth.

On the stretcher, a soldier whose thigh was torn apart by shrapnel kept wailing, and his voice made everyone even more nervous. The medical recruit next to him was probably frightened by the blood and was slow and clumsy. After seeing this, Yang Qiu immediately came over, took out the hemostatic medicine and quickly scraped off the sticky objects near the wound. After stopping the blood, he personally took the wound to suture. His skillful measures made several medical soldiers stunned. The wound was re-sewn in just a few minutes.

"It's okay! You must be careful and have a courage. The more nervous you are, the longer you delay, the more you suffer!" Yang Qiu patted the young medical recruits and walked towards Wusheng Pass under the gratitude of the wounded soldiers. When he was about to reach the pass, the dull explosion sounded from all over the place again. The yellow smoke in the morning light reminded him of the dangerous underground gunpowder, and immediately ordered a towel to dip water to cover his mouth and nose.

Before arriving at Wusheng Pass, there was a hellish picture. There was no intact city wall at the huge pass. There were gravels blown by shells everywhere, and there were uncleaned limbs and dry blood on the ground.

Beiyang used typical German firepower first tactics. The two artillery battalions had been in the angle between the three levels and the shells were constantly attacking the artillery. The infantry took advantage of the gap between the cannons and the preparations were made while having breakfast. After yesterday's confrontation, the soldiers stationed here were a little accustomed to artillery tactics, and they were looking for cover positions and were very open. The reserve team hid in the base of the wall or where the shells could not be shot, and were ready to meet the challenges of the Beiyang infantry at any time. (Look at the text novel ")

Among the blind corners of the mountain wall on the right side of the command post, this is also the place with the largest number of reserves. When the soldiers who were preparing were preparing saw the commander of the right-road army who was personally leading troops to support him, they immediately cheered, and the soldiers of a group of soldiers saluted together.

When he reached the door, He Xi had already led Shi Xiaolou and other officers to rush out. Yang Qiu almost couldn't recognize him who had been stationed here for nearly half a month. The leader, who was nicknamed by everyone, had obviously lost weight. He had a layer of short hair on his bald head, his face was covered in stubbornness, his clothes were wrinkled and dirty, and his whole body was filled with the smell of smoke.

He Xi was both frightened and happy when she saw Yang Qiu: "Commander, why are you here?"

"You are all my soldiers, and I will naturally come to support you when you are in danger." The faint words warmed the officers' hearts. Even Wu Zhaolin and the officers of the left-road 1st association sniffed. Unexpectedly, the first supporter was Yang Qiu, who had been criticized by everyone before and tried to split. Shi Xiaolou even took a step forward and saluted: "Shi Xiaolou in the Fourth Camp has met the commander."

"Shi Xiaolou, graduated from the Wubei Academy and later studied in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School to study commander." Yang Qiu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand: "Thank you for your loyal execution of the order to ensure that Wusheng Pass has not been lost yet, giving us sufficient time to prepare! It was you who saved millions of Hubei people! The Right Route Army needs an officer like you, welcome to join."

In just a few short sentences, an outstanding young officer was included in the right-wing military system, which made Wu Zhaolin admire his greetings. After Yang Qiu immediately entered the command center. Because it was too narrow inside, he simply pulled away the lost table and sat on the ground. #Baidu search and read the latest hand-titled chapters of this book#

"Xiaolou, please introduce it to me." Yang Qiu called Shi Xiaolou as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously considering his ability.

Shi Xiaolou began to introduce yesterday's battle situation very neatly: "The artillery battle started in the afternoon. Based on the reconnaissance of the forward sentry detectives and the concentration of artillery shells, two artillery battalions should be invested. (Look at the text novel to ") After half an hour of artillery bombardment, they instigated infantry attacks and invested about two marks to attack the three passes at the same time. The regiment commander and Wu Xietong had guessed before that Beiyang might shell Wusheng Pass and respond to the response, and cover the infantry to take down Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass on both sides and then attack them again. Therefore, Bisheng arranged two battalions and a Maxim machine gun on both sides, so Beiyang did not get it.

They threw all the firepower to our side without taking down both sides. The main attacker started after dinner and dispatched six machine guns to cooperate. He did not retreat until midnight last night. After counting this morning, statistics were found that more than 600 Beiyang soldiers were killed, more than 700 people were killed, and more than 300 were injured, most of them were "Shi Xiaolou said this and looked at Wu Zhaolin and continued: "We and the new recruits on the side of Wu Xietong are not experienced enough. They will most likely run around after being scared by shells."

"The loss of ordnance is quite serious. Only three of the eight mountain cannons can be used. Two heavy machine guns were blown up. Now we can only make sure that one here and one Jiuli Pass are each. Pingjing Pass is responsible for the light machine gun. The machine gunners are not skilled enough and the bullet consumption is relatively large." Shi Xiaolou's thoughts were clear. In just a few words, he outlined the rough battle process, which made Yang Qiugao take a look and asked: "What do you think is the biggest problem now?"

"As long as the city pass is not broken, the railway behind can send military supplies and bullets, so it is not a problem to consume a lot. The biggest threat now is the Beiyang artillery! Wusheng Pass is a mountainous land, and the terrain in the city is narrow and not suitable for artillery movement. The shells we use are too different from the Beiyang." Shi Xiaolou held a Japanese artillery shell that had not exploded and lost the fuse. "I saw this kind of artillery shell when I was studying in Japan. It was produced from the Nagoya military factory and was loaded with a new gunpowder, which was much more powerful than Hanyang. After the shells were smashed, they would emit toxic yellow smoke. The flames were not easy to extinguish. Half of the brothers who died yesterday were burned to death."

"It's Xiase gunpowder." Yang Qiu looked at the shells and put them down and said, "I have asked Hanyang to produce a new gunpowder, which should be stronger than this one, but it will take five days to get the first batch of shells at the earliest."

Wu Zhaolin was slightly stunned by the hearing. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu still understood ** and could create tools that were more powerful than Japanese gunpowder. (Look at the text novel and then go to "') Shi Xiaolou didn't have so many ideas. He was very happy to know that he had new gunpowder here. Even if he was not as strong as Japan, it would be enough to guarantee it. He immediately said: "It doesn't matter if he got it in five days. Now, it doesn't work to pull up the Five Years and Seven Cannons. The Seven Years and Five Cannons are too heavy and cannot be moved up. It is not as practical as a machine gun."

"Old He, Wei San." After Shi Xiaolou finished speaking, Yang Qiu immediately turned to He Xi. Since he left his first ritual night, he has not called him a font. He Xi is called Lao He, which makes people feel much more intimate: "You are old officers, and there are no outsiders here. I want to ask how many days do you think you can stay?"

"The Beiyang cannons are really amazing. If there were no reinforcements, I would like to see the most." He Xi glanced at Wu Zhaolin and raised two fingers.

He Xi originally thought that Yang Qiu would be dissatisfied with this number because he had to hold on for twenty days. But Yang Qiu was not dissatisfied but praised his sincerity. He immediately said to Yu Dehai, who was bowing his head, "Don't take Jingshan's affairs to heart. The orders are my own. It has nothing to do with you. As a soldier, it is the most important thing to protect Hubei well!"

"Jingshan? What happened to Jingshan?" Wu Zhaolin asked.

"Nothing big." Yang Qiu didn't want to mention this matter more, and continued to say to the two: "Divide the three battalions and direct company you brought into two detachments, and immediately go to support Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass."

Seeing that Yang Qiu did not punish them, the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared and they immediately led the army to support the two levels. After they left, the explosions outside suddenly became much denser. Yang Qiu, who was familiar with tactics, understood that this should be a precursor to the infantry preparing to attack. After yesterday's confrontation, Beiyang must have touched the reality of the situation. Whether it can last for a few more days depends on today! So he took over the command without hesitation. Wu Zhaolin also knew that today was the most critical and cooperated to order the army to obey the command.

It was still the old routine yesterday. From seven o'clock, after nearly one and a half hours of artillery attack, Beiyang sent two bullets to attack Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass, trying to win two levels to attack Wusheng Pass from the flank. (Look at the text novels and arrive at the "') However, they actually didn't know that there was one more detachment on the two levels. The fierce machine gun fire pushed them on the hillside and could not move, so they had to turn their heads and attack Wusheng Pass again.

Wusheng Guanguan City is actually not big, and the enemy's artillery fire is so fierce that too many troops can only seek trouble. Perhaps Yang Qiu personally supervised the war to boost morale, Ji Fucheng and Shi Xiaolou took the lead in leading the Third and Fourth Battalions to take the first wave of defensive troops. After climbing up the city wall, the Beiyang infantry rushed over along the hillsides on both sides of the railway line. When they ran into a distance of 1,000 meters, the formation suddenly dispersed, and the battalions attacking along the railway line below did not rush as stupidly as before the Henan Campaign Camp, but divided into two columns and rushed over carefully close to the wall.

Because Hakan threatened with a trade, Yang Qiu had to suppress his temper and stop and lay in the cover to observe the battle situation from the artillery high-pitched mirror.

As he expected, Beiyang was obviously preparing to take the Wusheng Pass today, so about three battalions were gathered in front of him, and there were three battalions behind them before preparing.

The sharp copper whistle replaced the shouting. After rushing to about 600 meters, the Beiyang infantry on the hillsides on both sides took the lead in making adjustments, and the army spread out and pulled into three scattered lines. Compared with the skillful infantry, the accompanying machine gun team was still too old-fashioned. They carried the Maxim machine gun to the front to concentrate the fire and tried to use fire to suppress the city tower to cover the infantry, so Yang Qiu immediately pointed to the machine gun position, and the only three remaining Wusheng and Qishan cannons smashed all the shells.

The rumbling explosion forced the Beiyang machine gun team to retreat temporarily. The Beiyang infantry, who had lost the cover of the machine gun, did not stop and still skillfully used the trees and bunkers on the hillside to advance in an interlaced manner. Their bodies were pressed down very low, and they approached with the creeping gun after entering the range of the enemy's mobile phone gun.

The position of the second company of the Third Battalion of Shangang on the left was outside the city of Guancheng. There was no city wall here, so the trenches were dug out in advance. Hao Wenbao held the handle of Madson and watched nervously as more than 400 Beiyang soldiers rushed towards him. When he was about to pull the trigger, he saw the enemy lying down in a row, so he immediately stopped moving.

As machine gunners in the guards, they were all elites trained by Yang Qiu himself than Yang Qiu, and they had a deeper understanding of the machine gun tactical manual, so they knew that the enemy who was lying down at this distance was wasting bullets. The infantrymen of the third battalion next to them had already opened fire, and the sound of Hanyang made a crackling line and drilled into the ears, but he didn't pull the trigger, which made many soldiers look surprised.

Patiently looking forward to finally ushering in the opportunity. Biji's copper whistle sounded, and the Beiyang soldiers suddenly stood up and bent down and rushed upward. Hao Wenbao pulled the trigger almost at the same time. Although the three shots were not fast, it became a nightmare for the enemy. The soldiers who rushed were hit and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the light machine guns that opened fire intertwined a layer of barrage, and soon more than a dozen Beiyang soldiers who rushed in the front swept down. More enemy troops were so scared that they crawled down again when they saw light machine guns.

At this time, a Beiyang officer with a red top suddenly stood up in the floating bullets all over the sky. Although he couldn't hear what he was calling, his sword-drawing and waving immediately aroused the fierceness of the Beiyang infantry. More than a hundred Beiyang soldiers rushed towards the position with hissing and shouting, and even the machine gun team that had just retreated found a bunker to cooperate with the infantry to charge.

The power of the heavy machine gun gradually burst out, causing dust to blow the trench in front of Hao Wenbao. The debris in the tiny dust column made his cheeks hurt. Although he and another second company machine gun were one after another, the light machine gun was innately insufficient, but the rushing enemy troops could not completely cover the rushing enemy. After the heavy machine gun ceased, the Beiyang soldiers had already rushed to within fifty meters.

"Get the bayonet!"

The Third Battalion is an old army of the First Regiment. Although it is worse than the four battalions that were originally adapted from the 42nd Ballot and the Security Team, the enemy's desperate style of playing was also aroused by anger. The company commander of the Second Company was a young man in his early twenties. Seeing that the Beiyang soldiers had arrived, he simply pulled out his command knife and jumped out of the trenches and proposed a counter-charge.

More than a hundred second company soldiers jumped out of the bunker like tigers to advocate counter-charge hand-to-hand combat. This was the first time Yang Qiu in the bunker had seen this style of fighting. In his era, hand-to-hand combat was extremely rare. He only saw soldiers jumping out of the trenches and firing a bullet first, and then rushed forward with bayonets.

On the one hand, the elite Beiyang soldiers who wanted to take the position and attack Chengguan from the side, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the Second Company who gritted their teeth and wanted to protect themselves, were like two waves of flood peaks that collided head-on, and instantly the strongest visual impact burst out. The bayonet was sharp and the butt stock was flying everywhere, and large swells of blood gushed out along the stabbed area. You could even see the intestines flowing out of the wound. The soldiers all had their eyes red, and only the four words "Life-to-Death" left in their minds.

The machine gun tactical manual prohibits machine gunners from intervening in hand-to-hand combat, but also lists the methods after encountering this situation, so Hao Wenbao immediately called the second company machine gunners to jump out of the trench and pull them away, and then used oblique shots to help the infantry cover the Beiyang soldiers following behind.

Two lines of fire cut the Beiyang infantry, and the Beiyang soldiers who were proposing to charge in front could not be stopped without support. With a copper whistle, they began to retreat. Just as Yang Qiu sighed, balls of fireballs suddenly covered the position of the Second Company. The Second Company, which had just defeated the enemy but had not had time to retreat into the trenches, suffered almost the most tragic losses.

This scene almost made Yang Qiu dare not watch. The sharp Beiyang artillery seized a good opportunity. After the platoon of the Biji artillery was over, corpses were lying on the entire position. Only half of the more than 100 soldiers in the Second Company escaped in time, and all the rest were killed by shells.

The encounter of the Second Company is almost a microcosm of the entire battlefield. Although Wusheng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, like in a parallel world, the advantages of Beiyang artillery are too great, and the pass targets are extremely obvious. Therefore, the army that was pulled up will be baptized by artillery shells as soon as it defeats the enemy, and the number of casualties is increasing rapidly at a shocking speed.

The fierce battle ended until the evening. After paying the price of nearly a thousand casualties again, the last batch of Beiyang soldiers finally began to retreat in exhaustion. After Hao Wenbao shot the last shot and knocked down a limping Beiyang soldiers, the entire Wusheng Pass was almost washed away by blood, and the flames flowed continuously on every inch of land.
