Chapter 096 The Shadow of Jin Shu

Xu Xilin saw the dark gun body and hurriedly shouted, "Come on, move Mr. Sun to the mountain pass quickly." Two revolutionary soldiers answered and rushed into the house.

Xu Xilin waved his pistol and shouted, "Comrades, come with me and fight with those clear dogs!"

The revolutionary army soldiers behind the ruins of the red wall waved all kinds of weapons and shouted and rushed up, which was quite powerful.

Zhou Charter shouted harshly, "Let's lie down for me. If there is no order, no one is allowed to move. Whoever moves will be beaten to death!"

The soldiers of the revolutionary army were stunned, looked at Zhou Charter, and then looked at Xu Xilin. They didn't know what to do.

Xu Xilin is the former commander-in-chief of the enemy. Generally speaking, everyone should listen to him. No one knows Zhou Charter, but Zhou Charter came with Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin is the general liaison officer, second only to Sun Wen. The people around Qiu Jin speak, and the revolutionary army doesn't know who to listen to.

"Who are you? Why do you order here?" Xu Xilin shouted.

Ge Yun shouted happily, "Brother Xu, he is Brother Zhou. Just now, he blew up the cannon of the Qing army, captured Yan Qionglin, and saved us. He knows how to fight. Brother Xu, you don't understand. Let Brother Zhou command.

"Who said I didn't understand!" Xu Xilin was furious: "We have just repelled the attack of the Qing army!"

In fact, Xu Xilin saw the process of Zhou Charter bombing cannons to save people on the mountain. He also knew that this Zhou's battle was very weak, and he was probably a top student from a martial arts school, who was better than him. However, Ge Yun is a little girl and speaks freely. You just say that Brother Zhou can fight a war. Why do you need to add "Brother Xu, you don't understand"? Xu Xilin is very faceless.

Zhou Charter said in a low voice, "General Commander Xu, you can't fight recklessly. If we continue to fight like this, everyone will only have a dead end."

Xu Xilin shouted, "There are 3,000 Qing soldiers and reinforcements, and we only have more than 200 people left. What can we do if we don't fight with them? In this battle, even if Jiang Taigong comes, he can only fight like this! Revolutionary people are not afraid of death. I'm the only one who died, and I have my own successor!"

Zhou Charter shook his head secretly, and Xu Xilin had made up his determination to die. Indeed, the power of the enemy and us is too different, and this battle is not easy to fight.

Zhou Charter said, "You have all fought with Qing Bing. What about Mr. Sun? Do you want him to fight with Qinggou?

"You..." Xu Xilin's words were blocked.

"All right!" Qiu Jin said, "Xu Xilin, from now on, the military command here will be handed over to this Brother Zhou. You are responsible for Mr. Sun's safety."

"Miss Qiu, this boy's origin is unknown. How dare you believe him!" Xu Xilin looked up and down at Zhou Charter: "Well, I seem to have seen you somewhere!"

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Brother Xu, I have never seen you. Brother Xu should quickly protect Mr. Sun. The Qing soldiers are about to attack.

At the foot of the mountain, the landing Qing soldiers set up an offensive position.

Xu Xilin said hatefully, "When the war is over, I must uncover your old background!" With that, he turned around and left.

Xu Xilin did see Zhou Charter, but Zhou Charter did not see Xu Xilin. He saw the portrait of Zhou Charter at the funeral of Zhou Charter in Zhongyongbo Mansion, Maoer Hutong, Beijing.

However, Zhou Charter is dead, and this information is rooted in Xu Xilin's subconscious, so that he will not associate the portrait in the mourning hall with the surname Zhou in front of him for a while.

After Xu Xilin left, Zhou Charter rearranged the defense with the assistance of Qiu Jin and others.

This is a cliff facing the lake and three sides connected to the land. The locals have become the Aotou cliff. There was originally an ancestral hall on the Aotou cliff. The ancestral hall has three entrances and three exits. The house is tall and has three gates, and each door has a gate tower. The whole ancestral hall is surrounded by a red wall, which has been devastated by the artillery fire of the Qing army. Behind the ancestral hall, there is a small mountain bag, which is located on the edge of the cliff on the east side, which is the commanding height of Aotou Cliff. Under the mountain bag is a mouth, which is exactly the dead corner of the shelling. If the Qing army wants to attack the mouth, it must first break through the three mountain gates of the ancestral hall.

The east and south sides of the Aotou cliff facing the lake side are cliffs, and the west and north sides are gentle slopes, which is the only way for the Qing army to attack. The first mountain gate of the ancestral hall is facing the gentle slope in the west.

It should be said that the revolutionary army chose Aotou Cliff as its stronghold, which has a certain rationality. The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, when it was besieged by heavy enemy troops, the revolutionary army was in prison.

More than 300 revolutionary troops gathered on Aotou Cliff. In the charge just now, more than 50 people died on the road of the charge and more than 30 were injured. Today, there are only 260 people left with combat effectiveness. Moreover, they lack weapons and ammunition, 260 people, only 150 guns, and an average of only 20 bullets per gun.

For good, most of these revolutionary armies are heroes, some from various gangs, and some are figures in the folk martial arts. Although they have not received formal military training, many of them have some martial arts skills, and cold weapons such as big knives and spears are also easy to use.

According to the establishment of Zhang Jun, Zhou Charter divided these 260 people into four rows, each with 40 to 50 people, mixing cold weapons and firearms. Zhou Charter personally led two platoons as the main force and went out to the mountains and forests outside the red wall to form the first line of defense. Qiu Jin led a platoon to guard the col behind the ancestral hall, and Shi Zhongji led a platoon to guard the hill on the col. The remaining 20 people, including Tang Qunying and Ge Yunhao, were led by Xu Xilin to protect Sun Wen.

There is not a single soldier left in the whole ancestral hall. This puzzled the revolutionary army. The ancestral hall has mountain gates, walls and houses, which are natural bunkers. Zhou Charter gave up the ancestral hall and deployed his troops in the mountains around the ancestral hall. Everyone was uncertain. Some soldiers expressed doubts, and some even questioned Zhou Charter's command.

Zhou Charter issued a death order - all actions are at the command. If anyone does not obey the command, shifts the position, shoots or launches a charge without authorization, will be right on the spot and will never be tolerated!

While Qiu Jin firmly stood on the side of Zhou Charter, with Qiu Jin's pressure. Although the revolutionary army was not convinced, it had to carry out orders.

The training level of an army is high and low, and discipline is the lifeline of the army. Without discipline, any army is hopeless. A disciplined army can compete with the enemy even if its training level is not satisfactory. When Zhou Charter fought in North Korea, he started from discipline and turned a scattered army into an iron army that chilled the Japanese!

The Qing army waved mountain cannons in the open land on the shore of the lake, and the black hole was aimed at the ancestral hall on the cliff. On the high ground on the shore of the lake, the scouts of the Qing artillery even waved the signal flag in their hands without cover. It is clear that they are bullying the revolutionary army without heavy weapons.

Zhou Charter lay under a big tree, holding the captured Type 88 rifle and staring at the Qing army, which had been placed in an offensive formation under the hillside. There was a rustling sound behind him.

Zhou Charter was angry. As soon as he announced discipline, someone immediately acted against the order. Zhou Charter shouted, "Damn it, do you really don't want to live? I'll kill you right away!"

There was a delicate voice behind him: "Brother Zhou, why do you always swear?"

Zhou Charter looked back, but it was Ge Yunhao who crawled over from the grass, his nose was full of sweat, and his little red face was full of grievances: "I'll help you fight, right?"

On the battlefield, Zhou Charter's most annoying thing is women, especially a careless little girl. There is only one girl in the world who can fight side by side with Zhou Charter, and that is Jin Shu.

Zhou Charter wanted to scold Ge Yun for a few words, which showed that Ge Yun's tears were about to come down, so he had to shake his head and say, "Go back quickly. This is not your place to stay!"

Ge Yun saw that Zhou Charter's tone was a little relaxed. He climbed to Zhou Charter's side and whispered, "Brother Zhou, I'm really here to help you. I came up with a good idea."

"What's the idea?" Zhou Charter was very impatient. A yellow-haired girl who had never even touched a gun could have any good ideas.

"Didn't we catch one of their soldiers and use that general to force them to let us go?"

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "We have more than 200 people here, but we only captured one of them. They will not be willing to exchange a general soldier for so many of us."

Ge Yun frowned and thought for a moment: "If it really doesn't work, let them change two people."

"Which two?"

"Mr. Sun and Brother Zhou."

"What about the others?"

"Brother Xu said that revolutionaries are not afraid of death!" Ge Yun bit his lips and said, "Mr. Sun is our leader and you are our military expert. As long as you two are alive, one day you can overthrow the court."

Zhou Charter's eyes widened. This careless little girl was extremely decisive in the face of life and death. What she thought of was not herself, but of the revolutionary cause. Moreover, her trust in Zhou Charter did not hesitate!

"But I'm not yours!" Zhou Charter's eyes were a little wet, and he was moved by this little girl. There is really a shadow of Jin Shu on this little girl's body. However, Jin Shu has experienced more than this little girl.

"You are!" Ge Yun said solemnly, "You are not now, and you will become a revolutionary party in the future!"

Zhou Charter was greatly surprised. Until now, he has never thought of joining the Revolutionary Party. The reason why he helped the revolutionaries fight against the Qing army is that he can't escape from this muddy water. Second, Sun Wen is the future father of the country, and Zhou Charter feels that he has an obligation to save him.

However, the little girl actually concluded that he would become a revolutionary in the future. Looking at her expression, she was sure about this matter.
