As the first ray of sunlight rose in the morning, the first shell landed on time on Wusheng Pass. The Beiyang gunners quickly pulled the bolt without even looking at the smoke column on the hillside. The hot shell fell out of the barrel. The orange shell just now was covered with charred burning marks, and new shells were re-stuck. The bolts were closed, and the fire was skillful and rapid. (Look at the novel "') (. Updated very fast)

The new military commander Feng Guozhang stood behind the artillery position in military uniform, rubbing his naked gloves gently with his fingers. The gilded scabbard on his waist was shining in the sun, and the corners of his lips covered by his beard bent slightly bent. Looking at Wu Shengguan, who was trembling under the artillery fire, his eyes were cold.

The Beiyang officers who were rarely seen in various places behind us talked happily, and they didn't seem to feel that they were in a war. Everyone had only one topic in their mouths. The creator of the Beiyang Army, the brain and soul of this army are finally about to come back!

Since Duan Qirui, the commander of the Second Army, has not arrived yet, the so-called 25th Battalion of Hubei City Patrol is far away, and the second and sixth towns are not peaceful, so there are actually only two towns and three associations entering Hubei. Add some miscellaneous Henan and Anhui City Patrol Camps, totaling only more than 30,000. Others think that it is not enough for 40,000 to 50,000 civilian troops, but after a few days of testing, Feng Guozhang felt that this was enough.

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

"Zichun, have you had enough rest these days?" Feng Guozhang gently swept the dust on his cuffs with his gloves, as if what was going on in front of him was not a life-and-death battle of tens of thousands of people, but an ordinary hunt. He walked to Wang Zhanyuan: "You play the striker? Is it okay?"

Wang Zhanyuan smiled and said, "The Military Commission is at ease, and the Third Mixed Association has been ready for a long time!"

Feng Guozhang didn't say anything, turned his head and looked at Li Chun: "Xiushan."

"Si Cheng (the character "Jia" in the Fourth Town Commander)."

After every officer who was called was eager to try to fight a bad battle with Yinchang for so long, these Beiyang generals had already held their breath, and this time they could finally do a big fight!

After Feng Guozhang finished speaking, he walked to the two infantry standards of the Third Mixed Association who were preparing to fight. He waved his hand and asked the guards to carry a few large boxes. He opened the box cover with a scabbard and immediately stimulated all eyes: "Catch an officer and reward KC! Kill the reward of 50 yuan, and the soldier 10 yuan. He wants to make money and eat meat! Just beat me hard!"

Several large boxes of silver dollars immediately mobilized the emotions of the infantry. One or two with red eyes and greedy eyes glanced by over and over again. (You can read the text novel and come to "')

Feng Guozhang disagreed, this is Beiyang!

Jia Deyao went out and drew out his sabre and looked forward to the end of the artillery. He turned out to be a student of the Baoding Army Crash School. Later, he was selected to go to the Japanese non-commissioned officer school to study the infantry department and returned to China. He immediately joined Beiyang. This time, he suppressed the rebellion and followed Wang Zhanyuan to the First Army to be appointed. He was a famous and upright person in Beiyang and was also well-versed in infantry tactics, so this time Feng Guozhang specially asked him to command the front army.

"Brothers, follow me!" After the half-hour textbook-style shelling, the sky above Wusheng Pass was filled with smoke. Jia Deyao led two six battalions, a total of more than 4,000 Beiyang soldiers to launch an attack. The first wave alone had as many as three battalions. However, before they reached the best range, Wusheng Pass sprayed out dense bullets, and the remaining two five-seven cannons continued to fire at the infantry.

"Haha, it seems that I was scared by the military command's general formation. Can shooting at such a distance be accurate? Brother Xiushan is going to take the lead this time." Wang Zhanyuan and Li Chun chatted as if they saw the scene of themselves stealing the first prize. Only Feng Guozhang suddenly frowned, except for the first and second days, the Hubei army should be said to have fought very well. Why did they lose their responsibilities today? Was it because of the command to replace people? Or did they have to support them and no longer be stingy with ammunition?

At the city gate, Yang Qiu lost the threat of Hakan, and personally led three battalions and one detachment on the left and right passes to break the rear. In order not to let Feng Guozhang see the truth, in addition to ordering the fire at full speed at the maximum distance, he also gritted his teeth and left all the machine guns, pretending to be the illusion of full defense. (. Update the latest chapter of this book)

Although it is fake, the play still needs to be done well. In addition to one Maxim, there are a total of twenty-four light machine guns on the position. There are as many as eight light machine guns in the eight platoons of the guard company, so it can temporarily suppress the impact of Beiyang. (Let's read the text novel and go to "')

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

Beiyang has not been equipped with Maxim for a long time. The advantage is that the machine gunners are handed over by German instructors, and Beiyang is rich and generous and does not stingy with bullets. Therefore, each machine gun has many bullets, which is much better than Yang Qiu who temporarily pulls on the battlefield and can only sweep and attack butter hands who will not deal with problems.

Several Maxim machine guns began to sweep from bottom to top, and the bullets hit the hiding stone wall cover and chirped. The firepower of the heavy machine gun is not comparable to that of a light machine gun, nor is it a matter of one plus one greater than two. Therefore, Beiyang gradually suppressed the firepower. Seeing that the enemy was hit by his machine gun, Judyao took the lead and lowered his body, pulled out two pistols that came from the air and stormed like an angry wild boar.

The Beiyang generation of officers studying in Japan were too deeply influenced by the Japanese army. During the Russo-Japanese War◆ Period, the Pig Tactics pioneered by Nogi Kiriki, the "Army God of Army" Nogi, were also brought back by Weimiao. The three wedge-shaped scattered lines were all arrow-shaped, and all soldiers inserted bayonets to run and storm and rushed. The howlings and echoes of beasts came one after another. But this imitation was just a similar shape. First of all, the Beiyang soldiers did not have the fanatical Bushido spirit of Japan. Secondly, the pig Tactics also needed fire cover. Beiyang was only slightly stronger in firepower than Japan at that time. Once the heavy machine gun entered the assault, they did not dare to fire again. The continuous and oppressive nature of the impact was incomparable. However, this also indirectly confirmed that later generations said that the early six-town Beiyang had the strength of the Japanese army was not empty talk.

The soldiers were still a little nervous when they saw this assault tactic for the first time. In the end, Russia was relying on a large number of Maxim machine guns to barely cover it. Now it only has a heavy machine gun on its side. The light machine gun has limitations in the face of this assault tactic because of insufficient continuity. Therefore, Yang Qiu immediately ordered the use of grenades.

Jia Deyao was leading his army to rush and clash. When he was about to reach his position, a string of small black dots suddenly threw out from the battlements and the trenches of the position.

This is?

Just when he was stunned, Yang Qiu smiled, the long-handled grenade that he had hidden until now was finally exerted. The dense grenades exploded and rolled away in front of the position. After the 72 pieces on the pre-installed shell exploded and quickly disintegrated and shot around. Before the Beiyang infantry understood what happened, they were passed by shrapnel bodies. The shrinking version of the pig burst tactical arrow was blown away by a metal fragment, and the rest of the non-dead ones were all light machine guns. (Look at the text novel and then go to "')

This was the first time that the Guard Company used grenades to achieve such a good effect and smashed them even harder. The more than a thousand grenades it 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, and a large number of soldiers fell down like harvesting wheat.

From seeing so many "small bombs" suddenly flying out from behind the enemy's position through the telescope, Feng Guozhang and many Beiyang officers were a little stuffy in their chests. They didn't expect that the other party had such a killer move. Wang Zhanyuan was so angry that he ordered the second wave of attack to be followed and did not want to give the opponent some chance to breathe.

"Commander Yi¨ Jiuli Pass!"

After two hours of fierce battle, a large amount of smoke came out from Jiuli Pass. This was a signal that had been agreed upon before. Once it could not be defended, it would immediately prevent fire. First, it was notified that Wusheng Pass and others began to retreat. Second, it allowed the Beiyang infantry to occupy the pass without any conditions to ensure that the enemy could not use the two places before Wusheng Pass retreat. Immediately afterwards, the flames filled the Pingjing Pass at the same time. Feng Guozhang, Wang Zhanyuan and others who were watching the battle in the distance all showed a knowing smile. After the left and right passes were broken, they could easily attack Wusheng Pass from both sides.

"kettle!"

The continuous smoke from left and right levels made Hao Wenbao anxious. With a loud shout, the auxiliary machine gunner twisted the water kettle and poured cold water on the barrel of the Maderson light machine gun. The hot barrel was immediately sizzling by the cold water. Although it could speed up the cooling of the barrel, the damage to the barrel was too great. As soon as he saw the dense Beiyang infantry, he would not care about so much. The curved 30 round magazine was plugged hard by two pots of cold water and poured it through the barrel, he immediately picked up the machine gun and drove it back to the sandbag. With the sound of shooting, several unexpected Beiyang infantrymen on the front were immediately knocked to the ground.

Light machine guns are not as good as heavy machine guns, so they need to constantly change their battle positions to avoid being aimed. When he gets into a pile of rubble and reinstalls the machine gun, the entire Wusheng Pass defense ground has begun to shatter. The remaining heavy machine guns spew long flames like crazy, and the auxiliary machine gunner even connected three ammunition belts together in a row. (Look at the novel ")

But camouflage is camouflage after all, and it is impossible to defend Wusheng Pass with three battalions. When Hao Wenbao pressed a Beiyang squad to the ground and had to retreat, the squad leader of the heavy machine gun squad took a big bomb and fuse it. Although the commander took charge of returning to Hankou and immediately made up for them, the soldiers were still reluctant to let it go, but with heavy Maxim, he could not quickly evacuate to a safe distance. In order not to fall into the enemy, it must be completely blown up.

After receiving the fuse, the squad leader patted the machine gunner's shoulder. The latter immediately tied the trigger with a rope. The deputy machine gunner also connected several ammunition belts, and then fixed them with a wooden stick to allow the machine gun to fire automatically and then withdraw from the machine gun fort. The four boxes of bullets could only last for a few minutes in full automatic state, so after leaving the machine gun fort, the machine gun squad ran away and ran southward. A large number of partners behind him also received orders and began to retreat.

"You must, Your Excellency Commander."

"I know." Yang Qiu interrupted Hakan and turned his head to see several engineers tied their bodies with branches and dead grass being ready to retreat. He immediately led the last battalion and guards to ignite the firewood pile and set off smoke to cover the company to retreat south.

Jadeyao, who was stunned by the grenade bomb, finally reorganized the army. The second wave of two battalions brought to him started an attack again, but this time it was unexpectedly relaxed. Not only did there be no dense bullets or the sound of machine guns, they broke the position in the blink of an eye. Such an easy success made him feel a little alert, but he didn't pay too much attention, because the soldiers rushing in front had already begun to continue rushing forward, trying to climb over the pass and enter the pass.

No matter how many soldiers were, it would be better if they didn't take it. So they rushed to Guancheng. After Judyao ran in, they found that the Hubei army stationed here had evacuated and saw a flying tiger flag flying up from the south slope. Just as they were about to continue chasing, they suddenly found a place that was out of place.

What about the bullet craters in Guancheng?

In six days, the artillery dropped no less than a thousand shells at this obvious Guancheng. Logically speaking, the surface of Guancheng must be bumpy, but now it is almost completely filled with gravel. It is nothing to put it in normal times. But is it that the Hubei army still free to fight and repair? More and more Beiyang soldiers crawled in, scrambling to cut off the ears of the dead Hubei army to receive a reward. It was not until a burning star appeared under the city wall on the south that Jia Deyao suddenly grew up and his pupils suddenly shrank into a little cold star!

Several kilometers away from the southern slope of Wusheng Pass, all the soldiers of the first division who had made a move in advance stopped and quietly looked at the third gate of Wusheng Pass behind them with wolf smoke. The dense sound of gunfire made everyone feel uncomfortable. Although retreating was a plan, when they thought of the persistence these days, they still felt a little sore when they thought of the sacrificed comrades.

As the sound of cannons became increasingly dense, everyone began to worry about the fate of Yang Qiu and several armies who had left behind the rear. Even Yue Peng and Wu Zhaolin were unable to survive. The hand holding the hilt of the knife was already sweating profusely.

Dai Tianchou quickly discovered this solemn atmosphere and quickly turned on the camera to shoot. His solemn faces were recorded on film. Because Yang Qiu issued a ban order, most of them did not know the plan for the rear cut, which made the soldiers even more uneasy.

"Look! It's the commander's flag!" Just when everyone was most anxious, the young Chen Zuotao suddenly jumped out of the crowd and followed his fingers Dai Tianchou immediately saw that the flying flying tiger battle flag had risen high from the southern foot, moving south little by little.

The flag instantly grabbed all the eyes, those who knew, those who did not know, soldiers or civilians, and even ordinary people living nearby saw the flag. Many people who did not know the secrets could not help but burst into tears. They knew that they should not blame Yang Qiu, and even the soldiers. A team and several battalions had less than 6,000 people, but they covered the most elite Beiyang with their lives and blood for seven days! What else needs to be praised more than these?

Dai Tianchou pressed the shutter quickly and wanted to take everyone here in. When the camera aimed at the flag, a thick smoke pillar suddenly rushed out of the occupied Wusheng Pass!

Immediately afterwards, more and larger smoke columns rose one after another, and huge earth fireballs spread around the smoke columns. After a moment, a series of deafening explosions filled every ear. The smoke columns gradually became entangled, forming a huge mushroom cloud appeared above Wusheng Pass. The whistling shock wave could be felt several miles away, and the ground under his feet shook a few times.

Although Jia Deyao shouted that he was not good at the first time and lay down on the spot, he still failed to save the thousands of soldiers who had already rushed into the city of pass. The explosion occurred from under one crater after another, and countless gravel and rubble were sprayed out like a burst of explosion. An explosion occurred on the hillside outside. The entire Wusheng Pass was exploding! The strong shock wave wrapped around tons of gravel and roared and swept down all the upright and uncovered tools.

The smoke filled the gunpowder and the dust flew. In an instant, Wu Shengguan seemed to disappear from all his eyes, leaving only a phantom of smoke. When Jia Deyao finally survived the explosion, he looked around with scars cut by stones. He found that Wu Shengguan, who had just been filled with cheers and shouting, could no longer see the figure.

While surprised to the south, Feng Huafu and the Beiyang generals also glared out their eyes. A hundred meters high smoke rose into the air, wrapped in rubble and gravel, swept across like a terrible whirlwind. While a heart-wrenching pain came, more than a thousand elite Beiyang infantrymen who rushed into Wusheng Pass were covered by black smoke and gravel in the blink of an eye. After the whirlwind gradually dissipated, the entire Wusheng Pass was silent.

Feng Huafu pinched his chest and his eyes were red!

Vicious! The person who came up with this plan was so cruel! Therefore, he set up a trap and took advantage of the moment when his side was happy to investigate it without rushing to investigate it in detail. He instantly instigated a terrible massacre! That is, the elite of nearly two battalions! With the consumption these days, Beiyang actually killed and injured nearly 5,000 people for Wusheng Pass! In other words, before entering Hubei, he had lost a mixed association!! What's more serious is that this explosion will directly cause the road to enter the pass to be completely paralyzed, and the strongest artillery in his hands is not in a normal manner. It will probably take four or five days to open up a new road. At that time, the Hubei army was already on guard!

The power of the bomb hidden in Wusheng Pass was extremely terrifying when it was detonated at the same time. Judging from its power, the entire Wusheng Pass seemed to be ravaged by hundreds of 5mm heavy artillery shells. Not to mention Wusheng Pass, which is less than four square kilometers in a radius of Wusheng Pass, even the old town of Hankou would not be able to withstand such a terrible impact.

The flying military flag began to speed up in the silence. When Yang Qiu, who was walking in the front, presented the soldiers behind the rear, appeared in the sight of the First Division, everyone cheered, and the haze that was forced to retreat was blown away instantly.

"Go ahead."

Walking to Yue Peng and Wu Zhaolin, Yang Qiu took off his military cap and said firmly: "We will come back."
