102 First Sound 6
The roaring shell dragged the blue tail down and exploded. The firelight rising to the sky lit up the night and dimmed the crescent moon. The waves of the big explosion rolled up the flying shrapnel, accompanied by splashing flesh and blood flying in the night fire and the bleak moonlight. The sound of killing was like the roar of an ancient fierce beast, accompanied by the roar of a light and heavy machine gun, and it sounded into a piece. Between heaven and earth, there was such a miserable Shura hell. In this long and narrow front of just a few kilometers, the intertwined beacon smoke is not only death but also death.
Since Yuan Shikai sat in Xinyang, Feng Guozhang rushed back to Wushengguan overnight. The war between the Beiyang Army and the Hubei Revolutionary Army was officially opened. The purpose of the war was to seize the arrogance of the revolutionaries. From Dawu to Guangshui, the whole long front line of blocking Wusheng Pass has been overturned.
At this moment, Wushengguan is already a pure military fortress, and all the original few residents have been driven out of the town or slaughtered. The Beiyang army of the brigade got on the train from Xinyang and gathered at Wushengguan.
The roaring sound of cannons spread into Wushengguan, and the strong sound waves seemed to deafen people's ears, which made the number of houses of Feng Guozhang's First Army headquarters tremble, and the dust on the beam fell from time to time. Even the old pawns in Beiyang felt frightened by such a fierce battle.
The kerosene lamp is dim and weak. Feng Guozhang is looking at the map, and his attentive expression eliminates all interference. He looks quite like Feng Gong's face, but he is much fatter than Feng Gong, who is like a monkey, so it seems that he is rich and noble, especially the eight-character eyebrow, which is the appearance of an authentic dignitary and noble. The scalp was scraped clean, and there was a layer of oil under the light, and it was not clear whether it was shaved or not.
Without Yuan Shikai pressing on his head, Feng Guozhang showed the tiger power of the commander of the Beiyang army. He just kept silent casually, and the Beiyang officers who accompanied him already felt a lot of pressure.
The south side of Wusheng Pass on the map is full of red arrows and forks, and the war revolves around Guangshui and Dawu. The southward railway line passes between the two counties. If the two counties are not disarmed, the safety of the railway line will not be guaranteed.
When the Hubei war party started, Feng Guozhang was paying close attention to the situation of the Hubei war. He had already expected that there would be a day to fight against it. After studying Li Xiang's previous battles, he concluded that Li Xiang's characteristics of combat are bravery, and he didn't see any other wonderful strategy.
Feng Guozhang laughed to himself and looked ferocious under the dim yellow light. Several Beiyang officers standing beside him intuitively felt that their vests were chilly.
Li Xiang is just brave in Feng Guozhang's eyes, and he is not afraid. Those mud legs can't survive, so they pull the flag and rebel. They are barefoot, and they naturally work hard when they fight. But fighting is not just about fighting hard. Long hair can work harder than them.
No matter how much Feng Guozhang looks down on Li Xiang's peasant uprising style, he still has no tactical contempt. At the beginning of the Hubei Incident, Yuan Shikai spread a spy in Hubei. Now Feng Guozhang learned that the troops of the revolutionary army were rushing to Dawu and Guangshui. The engine power of the revolutionary army was not as good as that of Beiyang, and the mobilization of troops was worse than that of Beiyang. Thanks to the help of the foreign lord, the Jinghan Railway has always been controlled by foreigners. After Wuchang, the foreigners drove all the locomotives and train skins to the north. Originally, there was no locomotive, and a carriage fell into the hands of the revolutionary army. It was only Zhang Xiyuan's fault that he left dozens of carriages for Li Xiang in Xiaogan. This kind of train skin is still far from enough for Li Xiang. The large army of the revolutionary army is still racing against the fire wheel of Beiyang on the soles of human skin. The Beiyang army blocked the troops of a town in Wushengguan overnight. At this moment, the main force of the revolutionary army to reinforce Dawu and Guangshui is still running on the road.
At the time when the Beiyang Army had an absolute advantage at this moment, Feng Guozhang did not hide the hidden direction of the main attack. In the face of absolute advantage, he believes that the hidden main attack direction is not to confuse the enemy, but to give the enemy a chance to breathe and turn over. He directly sent a group of soldiers and horses to attack Dawu. In order to win Dawu before the reinforcements of the revolutionary army, he also specially sent three doors to run again. The very obvious intention is to take Dawu as his main direction. At the same time, he sent two battalions to attack the two towns of Lidian and Yangzhai on both sides of the railway, and arranged two layers of blocking nets to cut off the connection between Guangshui and Dawu, and to prevent and contain Guangshui's assistance to Dawu.
The battle kicked off, and the fiercest front-line battles in Lidian and Yangzhai were the most fierce. The revolutionary army stationed on the front line of Guangshui and Dawu was led by Lin Tiechang. The composition of the revolutionary army was quite chaotic. There were two elite regiments that followed Lin Tiechang to the north, and the original Liu Huaou uprising was exposed. Later, Lv Zhongqiu took over the former Hubei 42 standard new army and the local farmers, railway workers and the party masses.
The two towns of Lidian and Yangzhai are not far from each other. They just cross a railway. The forces of the two regiments of the Revolutionary Army and the four battalions of the Beiyang Army are strangled into one regiment. The two battlefields have been mixed into a huge battlefield, which is even more tragic than the Dawu that the Beiyang Army is attacking the city with heavy artillery. There were two battlefields on both sides of the railway. In this way, in the two directions extending from Lidian to the east and from Yangzhai to the west, the revolutionary army and the Beiyang army launched a bloody battle. Slowly the two battlefields were twisted together and became a huge flesh and blood grinding disc.
In an unknown highland to the north of Dawu, the Beiyang Army has set up heavy artillery, all of which are Krulbershan cannons imported from Germany. Whether it is accurate or powerful, it is the love of Feng Guozhang.
The artillery of the Beiyang Army skillfully adjusted the muzzle and remotely controlled Feng Guozhang to issue orders. The heavy artillery positions kept roaring large-caliber shells on Dawu County. Whether it was a private house or a military heavy land, it was the target of the Beiyang Army's bombing. There are gushing fires and rolled up columns of smoke, overturned roofs and collapsed walls everywhere. There was a complete red smoke between heaven and earth, and even the night became so scarlet. The people who were pressed under the ruins wailed and withdrew from the sky.
"Beast!" Lin Tiechang cursed at the red-dyed night sky that the Beiyang army never cared about the lives of the people.
Lin Tie passed through the artillery fire and commanded the revolutionary army to evacuate the people. One wave after wave of ordinary people came out of the city from the south gate. All the Beiyang Army wanted was Dawu. The siege was still used the old method, which left a living eye for the city.
The outbreak of the war was too sudden, which also proved that Feng Guozhang was old-fashioned. The people in the city have not had time to evacuate. In fact, it is a Chinese concept of locality. Before the outbreak of the war, no one was willing to leave at all. Now, under such indiscriminate bombardment of the Beiyang Army, the people are stunned and evacuate at the mercy of the revolution.
"Run up for me, who will be the first to rush into the Li store and reward a hundred oceans." To the phone microphone, Feng Guozhang roared in an air, and he was rarely excited.
Because the Beiyang army attacked the whole line of Lidian and Yangzhai, under the first contact, the miscellaneous army of the new combination of the revolutionary army was not the opponent of Beiyang elite at all. Under the two fierce attacks, it was difficult for the revolutionary army to take care of the beginning and the end, and some positions had to give up and temporarily contract the defense. This should have made Feng Guozhang happy, but when the revolution contracted its defense, it showed the ability of the commander of the revolutionary army, and the two revolutionary armies actually shrank into a group. What's more, Feng Guozhang was so angry that the revolutionary army still maintained a tenacious will to fight after major casualties.
In the sparkle of fire, waves of Beiyang army infantry launched an attack on the positions of the Revolutionary Army under the cover of artillery fire. The black shadow surged up like a tide.
On the battlefield on both sides of the railway line, another shell with a sharp strange roar fell into the camp of the revolutionary army, lifting the mud and gravel and falling all over Huang Baiqiang's body. His ears were filled with the aftertow of this wave of explosion, and the drum membrane shook painfully. Such a little pain, but he didn't have any concerns. The trench not far from the right hand had been completely razed to the ground. Several comrades splashed flesh and blood in the orange-red firelight, and a broken and blood-stained corner was in front of him.
Huang Baiqiang stretched out his hand and wiped his dirty miner's face, and his voice was hoarse and sobbed, "Your boss's, he apologized for not returning two pieces of the ocean, so he left like this. How can you tell your sister that you want me to go back? Your sister is still suffering from the old rich man's house. Now that there is a revolution, I'm waiting for you to go back to save her from the fire. Huang Baiqiang said and lost his mind on the battlefield.
"Huang Baiqiang!" The voice of battalion commander Zhou Wu came from the rumbling gunfire, and his voice was hoarse, "What's in a daze? Don't die!"
"I understand!" Huang Bai responded powerfully, and the hateful black shadow of the Beiyang Army appeared in front of him. He pulled the gun and fired a shot forward and put one down. Because of the revolution, it gave them hope, and because of the arrival of the Beiyang Army, their hopes became tray again. Since there is hope, I can't give up. Only the Beiyang Army can fight.
Captain Zhou Wu personally held the Maxim light machine gun and spit out a long fire snake. The battalion commander's machine gun was so tricky and fierce that the Beiyang army could not raise his head on the ground. The Beiyang army retreated with the black tide and once again repelled the attack of the Beiyang army.
The Beiyang Army was silent for a short time after the attack was frustrated, and then a dull roar came from a distance, followed by a harsh whistling sound. The Beiyang Army mobilized more fast guns and fired at the positions of the Revolutionary Army.
"Emy shelling!" As soon as Chief Zhou Wu's words landed, even if he didn't shout, the farmers who had just joined the army heard it all night.
The shell is like a meteor shower in the sky, crossing a beautiful arc, dragging a long tail, beautiful and deadly. It smashed down with a bang, and with countless orange fires flashed by, and thick smoke darkened with fire, gradually rising like mushrooms. Before the smoke of this round of explosion dissipated, a new round of gunfire came down like a meteor shower. Countless shrapnels are flying crazily in the night, like death dancing. These scattered fragments are always willing to jump happily like that, more cheerful than demons waving small forks. They use their distinct edges and corners to cut through the weak human body, which is sharper than the sickle of death.
Huang Baiqiang arched out from the bottom of the trench soil layer that he had completely flooded, shook the broken earth all over his body, and quickly jumped into another trench that was almost filled with broken earth.
"Is anyone still alive?" Huang Baiqiang spit out the dirt and sand in his mouth and roared in a hoarse voice.
There was no response. Huang Baiqiang looked around. Except for the burning fire and the blue smoke, there was no life still squirming in this position. The town behind him has completely become a ruin, with a silent silence all around, and his ears are full of the roar that has just exploded. Occasionally, there is a crackling sound of wood burning, and his ears can't tell the hallucination.
