My daughter signed up for elementary school today and only came back at dinner to start typing. Sorry!

When he received the telegram from Zhang Wenjing, Yang Qiu had arrived in Weidian Town, which was close to the water. The Jinghan Line passed through the middle. Since ancient times, it has been the passage from Wusheng Pass to Xiaogan. The terrain is also the only commanding height nearby. Therefore, in addition to the two regiments of He Xifan Second Brigade, the first brigade and the second regiment were also deployed here. The position was spread on the railway line as the central axis. In addition to the three infantry regiments, there was also a gun battalion equipped with 12 Wusheng Qishan cannons, four heavy machine gun squads and a cavalry company to assist. (Let's go to "')

The cold wind blew from the position and made people tremble. Because they were worried about the other party's spies and artillery, there was no light source on the position. The soldiers squeezed into a group to snuggle with each other, but few people talked. Yang Qiu's arrival immediately caused a small commotion. No one expected that he would come to the front line to inspect in person. It was the first time that many officers and soldiers saw the commander-in-chief. They only knew that he had fought a few beautiful battles before, but his excessive youthful appearance made many people vaguely worried. Many people simply showed unbelieving eyes, which made the wrinkles on his forehead much deeper.

During the Xiaogan Incident, food and fodder were burned, the commander was changed in front of the formation, the two armies were merged, and the reorganization was reorganized. In the past few days, huge political fluctuations inevitably affected the soldiers on the front line. The turmoil and uneasy in the rear made everyone feel confused and worried. Although food and fodder were replenished in time, each soldier also received thirty rounds of bullets to replenish it, but the rapid arrival of Beiyang aggravated this uneasy and nervousness.

After inspecting the position at night, Yang Qiu returned to the command post. This was a cave set up behind a mountain nest less than 30 meters high. The only artillery company was also deployed here, with only a kerosene lamp still flashing. The map was spread out on the table. It seemed that the daytime shelling affected this place, so traces of dust could be seen on the ground and on the table.

He Xifan arrived here after receiving the news during the day. He was discussing tomorrow's combat plan with several regiment commanders and was also a little shocked when he saw Yang Qiu. The latter saluted and walked to the map without delaying it. He asked, "Shaoyue Battle started first here. You can talk about the process of daytime first."

He heard the question, He Xifan immediately pointed to the map and said, "The first shot was located in the northwest of Weidian Town. After breakfast, the first one to catch the enemy was the cavalry company. At that time, they were patrolling along the water north and encountered a horse team in Beiyang. Later, I sent someone to collect the corpses and read the signs. It should be the fourth town horse brand. (You can go to " by reading the text novel)

All the Beiyang cavalry were Charlieman's lances. After the patrol team lost, they immediately retreated to Weidian Town. The Third Regiment took the lead in receiving the enemy. The artillery company and machine gun squad quickly helped. They could not break through the machine gun and retreated northward. They returned at noon and brought an infantry mark and six seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-shot. The main battle started after lunch. The Beiyang artillery was very powerful. They hit our bunkers and positions one after another. The infantry launched a charge after the artillery fired. It took about an hour to retreat. Our army suffered a total of 177 casualties, and lost five-seven-seven-shot one. Most of them were killed by artillery shells. There were 114 casualties in Beiyang and no losses were found."

"Didn't the enemy machine gun team come?"

"There are two machine gun teams, but they retreated after a while."

The introduction is very simple, but it also revealed some information, such as the Beiyang vanguard is very fast, and artillery relies on the hell. Secondly, the destruction of the Wusheng Pass and the Jinghan Line did cause great trouble for Feng Guozhang to mobilize troops, otherwise only one artillery company would have arrived.

But this is how war is. It is a game of containment and anti-containment that is intertwined with blood and life. Therefore, when the artillery advantage cannot be exerted for the time being, there will be a tug-of-war between less than a few hundred people killed or injured in two hours.

"Where is the enemy now?"

“This location.”

Chu Nan, the commander of the 2nd Brigade 3rd Regiment, is also a student who graduated from Wugao Academy in Hubei. He often comes into contact with revolutionary ideas in the school. He was the deputy company commander of the eight towns before. After the uprising, he served as the Biaotong. After the reform, he became the regiment commander. In addition, his position became the main attack point today, so he knew the deployment of Beiyang best and immediately said: "In Chenjiaao, ten miles northwest of us, the spy I sent came back and said that he did not find excavation fortifications. He only set up a few guard posts outside the village. Two machine gun teams were located at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and the artillery company was also in the open space next to it. This should be the command center. (Let's go to " read the text novels and go to ")"

After looking at the short and thin officer of twenty-five or six years old, Yang Qiu continued to ask: "Is there any news about the Beiyang troops behind?"

"One town, one. The division sent someone to send a letter in the afternoon." He Xifan, like everyone else, often misled his tongue to the reorganized name: "It is said that there is a mixed association, and two artillery battalions have arrived in Guangshui and are heading south, which looks like a hundred miles away from us."

One hundred miles is about fifty kilometers, and it will take an hour and a half for the cavalry to arrive at full speed. Yang Qiu silently estimated the time in his heart. If he didn't fight tonight, then the Mixed Association Forward will definitely be able to come down tomorrow morning, and the two artillery battalions should also arrive in the evening. This means that Beiyang can launch a brigade-level attack as early as the morning after tomorrow! It is difficult to fight at the current second state.

But night attacks are a well-known problem and have high requirements for the troops. Moreover, there is a total regiment stationed in Chenjiaao, a cavalry battalion and an artillery company. The total number is about about the same number. If you want to win, at least two regiments need to be dispatched. Two regiments can be responsible for night attacks. It is possible to do so unless you are allowed to go to Beiyang to pick up people. However, if it is harassment and forcing the other party to retreat, it may not be impossible!

After looking at the map repeatedly, Yang Qiu asked about the terrain of Chenjiaao in southern Chu and the location of Beiyang posts, he made up his mind: "Lei Meng, the guard company gathers! Commander Chu, I will give you an hour to select two veterans in the company to cooperate with me to attack Chenjiaao at night!"

"Commander, are you going to attack Chenjiaao at night?" Chu Nan immediately jumped up. Even He Xifan was startled. From the previous orders and reforms, he could know that Yang Qiu was very decisive in his work, but he didn't expect that he would just go to the point where he was going to attack the Beiyang target at night as soon as he arrived!

Yang Qiu didn't give everyone a chance to persuade him: "Captain Chu! You should be clear about what soldiers you need for a night attack, go and prepare!"

Chu Nan looked at He Xifan, gritted his teeth and rushed out. For some reason, he felt a little fond of this kind of military style that could do whatever he wanted. (I will go to "") When the soldiers outside heard that the corps were going to lead the team to attack Chen Jiaao at night, they almost all rushed over, and they rushed to join, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more active.

Night attacks are the most difficult of all operations. Soldiers must strictly abide by orders. Since there is no communication equipment, they must attack according to the line agreed in advance during combat. They require extremely high cooperation ability. Fortunately, this is still in 1911, otherwise he would not dare to lead a unit that had not received such training to attack.

Most importantly, he has a guard company built by himself!

Before Wusheng Pass retreated, the guard company made adjustments. According to the standards of the two companies, except for all veterans who fought with Beiyang, Demeng, a top student from Nanjing Land Division School who came with Chen Guofu, was transferred to the guard to rescind the enemy because of his outstanding performance at Wusheng Pass and calmly commanded the platoon leader to rescue the enemy when the platoon leader died. He was also transferred to the guard to be re-elected as the company commander of the second company.

After the guard company was quickly finished, everyone finally knew why they dared to launch a night attack. The two companies, all of which were all German Mauser 98 and Hanyuan pistols, 1-machine guns (including Han-type) each boasted 16 magazines, and the soldiers also had 200 pointed bullets per person, and were equipped with four grenades filled with yellow ** for the first time. I haven't even heard of this kind of equipment!

In addition to his own equipment, Lei Meng quickly distributed the additional grenades to the selected two veterans of the company, and asked the guard company to guide them one-on-one on how to use them. In order to enhance their firepower, Yang Qiu also distributed machine guns to cooperate. After everyone learned how to use them, Yang Qiu immediately issued a departure order.

At 2:30 in the morning, after a big circle, Yang Qiu led the team to the west of Chenjiaao.

In fact, there is no valley in Chenjiaao. The only barrier is a half-person-high earth wall, which is about two kilometers long. It is said that this is the Jiaocheng built by King Xiang of Chu after he escaped here in the late Warring States Period, and it is used to protect the Yunmeng Chu King City behind. Time flies, and the former Chu King City is left with only wreckage, and there is no trace of this Jiaocheng.

Chu Nan's first real night attack, looking at the "black line" that was faintly visible in the darkness, his breathing gradually became rapid. (Let's read the text novel ") Yang Qiupai was afraid of him, so he handed him a white towel and quickly tied it on his arm and smiled: "Don't be nervous that people are the most sleepy at this time."

Yang Qiu likes to explain tactics on the battlefield because this will allow listeners to understand the use of tactics more deeply. In this regard, the guard company is much lucky. Even many soldiers have heard him teach tactical lessons. Given that the troops have never received night combat training and come from two systems, his tactics this time are very simple. With Chen Jiaao as the center, attack from three sides at the same time, without any complex tactics, the company is a straight line assault, and the center of the assault is the village ancestral hall.

"You must be careful not to do heavy machine guns! The light machine gun is restrained from the front. The third team goes around from behind and attacks with grenades. After taking down the ancestral hall, they immediately use machine guns as a guide to spread around and clear them." Yang Qiu brought the officers and machine gunners together and said: "Tell every soldier that it doesn't matter if they run away and cannot find the original troops. Just follow the sound of machine guns. Don't panic when encountering the enemy's organized resistance. The machine guns will suppress them first and then solve them immediately with grenades. Remember! There is no need, or if you are sure, don't rush into the houses. The woods and places with complex terrain. You would rather trap them until dawn than take risks in attack. Do you understand?"

It was already three o'clock after the deployment. At the most sleepy moment of the menstrual cycle, Yang Qiu issued an offensive order. All four companies were ordered to shut their mouths and crawl and push their guns to crawl towards the center of Chenjiaao. After arriving at the earth wall, Chu Nan personally led the selected suicide commando to touch the sentry with a big knife.

It was called a guard post, but it was actually some leeward posts. As expected, the Beiyang sentry who had been guarding for most of the night finally couldn't stand it after seeing it almost dawn. They squeezed into a bunch of people and stared at them. Although the subtle footsteps woke up several of them, it was too late.

In fact, Yang Qiu wanted to use a dagger or a bayonet, but it seemed that Chu Nan and others were not interested in the knife, so they let them use the machete.

"Enemy attack."

While blood splashed out from the necks of dozens of Beiyang sentrymen, a shrill shout also sounded. Yang Qiu suddenly suddenly started without delay: "Run! Run! Go!"

The soldiers who had been impatient for a long time immediately crossed the earth wall and ran towards the center of the village. The machine gunners led the team to quickly disperse and find a location. After a moment, several intertwined lines of fire appeared first in the night. At this moment, everyone had only one idea, which was to rush to the entrance of the ancestral hall as soon as possible, otherwise they would be completely finished once the machine gun cannon was opened.

"Quick¨. Block it!"

"Pull up, the distance is too close!"

The Beiyang machine gunners who were awakened by the gunshots immediately crawled out of the ancestral hall, and several Beiyang officers came out together. The good training allowed them to rush into the position as soon as possible, but when they pulled the bolt and stuffed the ammunition belt, they found that several dense tongues of flame had suddenly crawled out of the darkness.

"Hohohohohohohohohohohohoho."

Hao Wenbao hid under the roots of the tree and quickly pulled the trigger. The unique two-and-three-point shooting sound of the Han-One machine gun is deeper than that of Maderson. It uses German native pointed bullets to shoot very smoothly and the unique built-in cushioning spring to minimize the recoil, which makes him unable to let go.

The first goal is definitely the two heavy machine guns and artillery positions guarding the door. The Beiyang heavy machine guns use old-fashioned tripods, which are neither convenient to move nor have shields installed. So when Hao Wenbao and the others seized the initiative, they instantly suppressed the heavy machine guns and artillery. The powerful machine gun bullets hit the steel and scattered, forming a more terrifying and irregular metal scattering. The Krupp Qisheng 5th Field Cannon also lacks shields, so it was bounced away and immediately pierced into the bodies of those Beiyang artillery soldiers who were out of control.

Before the Beiyang machine gun team and artillery were recovering from their senses, dense shootings and explosions sounded behind the ancestral hall. Several bold commandos climbed onto the roof of the ancestral hall and threw grenades from above into the shining fireballs in the heavy machine gun position. The commandos without machine gun threats jumped up and rushed hard. After a while, the artillery positions next to the ancestral hall were already screaming.

While the artillery soldiers were massacred, the Beiyang infantry rushed out of the houses also suffered heavy losses. When they rushed out of their residences in disarray, they were immediately attacked. Even without machine guns, they would definitely usher in intensive ferry guns. This is not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that those flying in the air are often several or even dozens of grenades that come at the same time.

The entire village was filled with shouts of killing, screams, and wailings. Because of chaos, the soldiers on both sides almost all pointed their guns at the muzzle and fired! In the end, the Beiyang 13 standard caught off guard had to give up shooting and prepared to use hand-to-hand combat to regain their disadvantages. At this time, the light machine gun finally played its advantage. Although it could not be compared with Maxim, the flexibility of the light machine gun was fully reflected in the night attack. Whenever Beiyang soldiers were organized by officers to prepare, they would always attract a dense rain of bullets. The simple tactical orders before the war also had a good effect. The soldiers almost ran with the machine gun, so as long as the machine gun fired at a certain place, they would definitely shoot a row of dense rain of bullets in the direction.

After experiencing Wusheng Pass, Yang Qiu fully understood that the Beiyang, built with a German model, began to gradually become distorted after the Russo-Japanese War, especially as a large number of non-commissioned officers in Japan returned, the Japanese elements began to deeply integrate into this army, so they almost remembered that the Japanese army was a typical combination of infantry and artillery. When they had the advantage of artillery, this was a terrible force. On the contrary, they were not much better than the new Hubei army.

The 13th mark in chaos now has no artillery support and lacks heavy machine guns, and only the fate of being cut and dispersed is left.

Yang Qiu rushed in front with a Han-type machine gun. The chaotic battlefield and the shouts of killing made him feel like he was on fire. The battle was completely released. At this moment, he completely forgot the clouds that began to accumulate in the rear again, forgot the pressure from Beiyang, and integrated his whole body and mind into the battle and killing.

No one was more accustomed to using automatic weapons than him. The Han-type machine gun in his hand seemed to have come alive. The bullets kept disrupting the Beiyang soldiers, and then the infantry behind him carried out grenade attacks! Balls of flames tore the darkness, and the explosion brought the broken dragon and spiral to pieces. The splashed flesh covered the small village. After only a few cavalry left finally broke out a bloody path, the 13th flag began to flee north with them. The rapid retreat of the bronze whistle made the battlefield even more chaotic.

As the blood fled, it began to expand outside the village, and the east side finally began to turn slightly white...
