18 Our Revolutionary Army
The conference room of the Provisional Army Department of the Presidential Palace was quiet. Uncle Xu Shaozhen stood there gasping with red eyes and staring at Li Xiang and Huang Xing. At this moment, there are only three of them left.
After the battle plan was formulated, Yao Yuping's troops of the Guangdong army and Bai Wenwei's troops of the Anhui army, which had been gathered around Nanjing, immediately advanced north along Jinpu Road. The troops sent to the front line, and the three of them were drinking tea here and other news.
The battle plan that Li wanted to draw up is actually very simple. He went north at the fastest speed, arrived in Guzhen at night, and launched a night attack. This is a typical combat idea of the Hubei Revolutionary Army. After repeated trials, Zhang Xun was completely caught off guard. However, this requires extremely high quality of the army, and the mobility is slightly poor. If the battlefield commander is a little hesitant in the execution process, he can't achieve the unexpected effect. As a result, Li Sang's troops have also developed a good habit of mobilizing before the war. Today's mobilization effect is also good. It is not inferior to his Hubei Revolutionary Army!
Xu Shaozhen strongly opposed Li Xiang's unplanned play, but the revolutionary forces from all walks of life were still watching and did not listen to the task. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing could only believe that Li Xiang's ability to turn the tide.
Li wants to look at Xu Shaozhen. He wants to get up and leave. Although he doesn't have as many things to do as the president, there are also a lot of them. He doesn't have time to drink tea with them here.
When Xu Shaozhen saw that Li wanted to leave, he was anxious and suddenly shouted, "Li Shuai! Want to go? You have to be responsible for this to the end!"
Li Xiang smiled faintly. The outbreak just now made him a little exhausted, and his voice was much lower: "The victory or defeat is tonight. As a result, he called me to inform me when he came out. Are you afraid that I would run away? I will stay here, and it won't have any impact on the result... As for the responsibility, of course, I will be responsible to the end. If I lose this ten feet, at worst, President Sun will resign and go to Wuhan with me!"
"Going to Wuhan with you?" Xu Shaozhen was stunned there.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
The footsteps are heavy and the breathing is intermittent. A group of ragged revolutionary soldiers supported several old men, followed by a group of fleeing people, walking in the snow and staggering towards Nanjing. The road is rugged and surrounded by mountains. Everyone's clothes are covered with grass and shrubs, but no one dares to stop.
They are the revolutionary army and the asylum masses who escaped from Guzhen.
Guzhen Guangfu and the Nanjing Provisional Government was established. Although their lives are as miserable as before, they can feel the unprecedented new atmosphere from the revolutionary army. Every new system of Nanjing's abolition of the old system will be announced, and they will be happy with the revolutionary soldiers. The revolutionary ideals of the Nanjing government have also moved these illiterate people. Republican democracy has entered the hearts of the people, and they are willing to cut off the braids behind their heads.
You should know that the dead, powerful and corrupt imperial court should have been overthrown for a long time!
It has only been a few months, and it can be said that they all feel like they have been reborn.
Wait until the interim president sued the northern soldiers and announced the Northern Expedition. The generals and soldiers in the north were also ready to move, and the governors of the southern provinces were even more eager to fight. At noon next to the military book, the war was full of lightning, and the sound of the Northern Expedition made the mainland noisy. It seems to go straight to Huanglong and point to things.
They never thought that there would be such a day! Everything born last night was a bloody nightmare. In their village in the mountains, they heard a faint roar outside the mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, they saw the plain of Guzhen. The villages walking in the stars were originally silent in the dark. Gradually, a village ignited a fire, and the village was burned by the fire and burned half of the sky. The torch formed a winding long dragon, and a group of braided troops ran to the next village. On the ground at night, villages everywhere gradually ignited fires until the world around Guzhen was illuminated!
The elders in the village immediately ordered to be vigilant all night, and then sent people down the mountain overnight to inquire about the situation and ask what had happened. These honest villagers never thought of such a scene. What does it mean?
The time slowly went from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. The worried villagers, when it was almost dawn, a large group of soldiers with red cloth braids on their heads, chased these scarred revolutionary soldiers, and rushed into their village from another mountain road! When they see a man without braids, they kill them, and they don't let go of the children. When they see a slightly beautiful woman, they drag them in. When they see valuable things, they are strong. There are also people who set fire everywhere in the village!
At that moment, the people who suffered the disaster. I clearly saw that the braided army has a twisted bloodthirsty madness! Many people suddenly flooded with violent crowds in the north, and the knives and guns were all together. I'm afraid that even the complete corpses could not be found. The rest shouted, panicked and resisted, while fleeing to the south. At this time, all of them thought that only the revolutionary army in Nanjing could protect them!
I don't know who shouted in a panic: "Take the mountain road, take the mountain road!" This roar saved most people's lives. They stumbled along the mountain road and fled. If they went out of the mountain at this time, I'm afraid they would not be able to escape the interception of the braided army!
I don't know how long a small team of dozens of people ran along the mountain road, followed by hundreds of people holding bayonets and shouting braided. People keep falling behind and then brutally killed. The rest of the people have only one idea: "Run! Run! Run! Escape from this hell!"
The mountain road has reached the end, and people gasping for breath rushed to the small flat land between the mountain and the river. The road under his feet has changed from a dirt road to a cobbled flat land. Looking up, in front of you is Bengbu, a city controlled by the revolutionary army.
The sunset hangs on the edge of the sky, and the sky is slowly dim and gloomy. This exhausted fleeing team only noticed the faint voice of the revolutionary army's special slogans in front of them.
When I approached and saw a flat-brimmed hat of the revolutionary army and an ugly pig tail without a braided army, the people who fled suddenly cried out.
This is our revolutionary army!
Yao Yuping and Bai Wenwei's 8,000 soldiers took the train from Nanjing to Bengbu and had dinner in Bengbu. All the soldiers stood solemnly on the platform of the station, filled with a tragic and vengeful mood!
Yao Yuping stepped on the podium set up with more than a dozen square tables temporarily and lectured the troops with a white iron horn:
"Brothers! Today, the provisional government of the Republic of China has been established, and the hearts of the people tend to be republican. However, before the Fu court was destroyed, Yuan Shikai and his Beiyang army fought against the Republic of China, hated the republic, and were willing to be a running dog, eagle and dog in the court, and willing to be a traitor of the Chinese nation. They were extremely evil, and the Chinese people should not be together! Our revolutionary army was ordered by President Sun to march north and marched on all fronts. Our Second Army of the Northern Expedition went to the front line today to attack the Zhang Xunjiang Defense Force, which was a southern criminal. Like Yuan Shikai, he was a traitor and a Manchu slave who forgot the sect. Zhang Xun's braided army is a group of beasts. Is it personnel?
When the soldiers saw the people who fled back from Guzhen, they were already angry and red-eyed. In fact, it was the same whether he said it or not.
"The ancients said: 'Shirduke is not in the crowd'. Although the weapons and equipment of the braided soldiers are better than our army, and the number of people is larger than our army, just two months ago, they were defeated by our revolutionary army. As long as we 8,000 soldiers work together, we will definitely be able to hit the yellow dragon, step on the autocratic nest, and put the five-color flag of the Republic of China on the head of the Forbidden City!"
After Yao Yuping's lecture, the troops boarded the train and killed in the direction of Guzhen.
In Guzhen, in the square in front of the railway station, a young revolutionary army with a torn tunic was pushed to the execution ground, with the childishness of the school students on his face. He still didn't give up and loudly sang the March of the Volunteers from Hankou to the people in need:
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves make our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall..."
The lyrics are vulgar, but the illiterate old farmer can also understand it. Every sentence of the song is like knocking on the bottom of their hearts, which is gripping!
His provinces roared out, which excited the spirits of several other righteous revolutionary army soldiers and struggled to sing this "Ryi yong Army March" together!
The song is full of their ideals and their unyielding fighting spirit!
The song infects more and more people!
A braided army officer jumped out with a ferocious face and roared, "Kill all these thieves!" With that, he pulled out his saber and rushed up and cut down one!
The braided army was stunned when the song sounded. He looked at it in a daze. After seeing the behavior of the braided officer, the violent shout immediately sounded. A large group of braided troops gushed out and greeted the corpse with bayonets! The whole scene is like a bloodthirsty carnival!
The remaining revolutionary soldiers were not frightened by this group of bloodthirsty madness. They raised their heads, their waists were straighter, and their songs were louder!
The setting sun sinks down the west mountain, the lead clouds roll over, and the mountains and rivers suddenly change color! The palm-sized snowflakes fluttered down in an instant, covering everything between heaven and earth. The cold wind stirred up, and it was even more killing. The local revolutionary army and the ordinary people who were arrested to kill the monks were closely together.
If the sky is friendly, the sky is old, and the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life!
The last madness of the braided army is waiting for the arrival of the final death. They are not afraid. Everyone has to leave the last dignity in front of these braided troops.
A crisp sound seemed to come from a far away place, and it was soon submerged in the sound of wind and snow and shouting. No one noticed it. After a short pause, it was a neat row of crackling sounds!
The braided men on the opposite side stopped their movements doubtfully, and even the blood-stained killers in their hands danced straight. The revolutionary army and ordinary people were still undecided, and just continued to sing the March of the Volunteer Army.
Guzhen Square, the sound of gunfire has been sounded in a blink of an eye. At the same time as the sound of gunfire, it was the sound of military boots knocking on the earth, suppressing the sound of a blizzard, as if the whole earth was trembling at the same time!
One person turned his head, and then another, until the unyielding small team all turned their heads.
At this time, the screams of Guzhen's braided army were grounded and sounded!
In the dark sky, in the blurred and violent wind and snow, Guzhen's braided army suddenly pushed and squeezed, and they were completely in a mess. They cried loudly, and they would also feel scared.
Behind the team, there were rows of high-rise ghost machetes, falling down layer by layer, and the sound of gunfire was already connected, and there was no number.
In the wind and snow at night, an army in a yellow military uniform advanced forward silently like a wall. The officer walked in front, and the Western-style command knife always pointed to the front. The military boots knocked on the ground neatly, and under the brim of the patent leather hat were young and tough faces.
It's our revolutionary army!
A row of rifles were held up. With every time the officers waved their knives, they shot neatly, and the dazzling flashes rose from the line in rows, mixed with the night wind and snow. Under the dense bullets, it was more dense than snowflakes in the braided army. On a snowy night, there was only wailing!
The revolutionary army's tactical body softened, knelt in the snow, and then jumped up again, regardless of the bullets also roaring in their ears, clenching their fists and shouting: "Fight! Fight! Revenge us!"
