103 First Sound 7

The shelling of the Beiyang Army was still extremely fierce, and it stopped suddenly in a blink of an eye. The cold wind roars the coldness of autumn, and the smoke permeates the ruthlessness of war. No matter how hoarse Huang Baiqiang shouted, the whole position was still dead. There was not even a reply in the empty night sky in the wilderness, and no one answered him.

The space was silent. Huang Baiqiang looked around for his comrades-in-arms. With the faint firelight left by the war, he saw something squirming under the earth-covered trenches, and a pair of big hands full of blood broke out. Huang Baiqiang rolled and crawled up, pushed away a broken wood that was still smoking, and helped his comrades-in-arms get them out of the floating earth.

It turned out that it was battalion commander Zhou Wu who was buried alive. He kept gasping and spitting out the mud and sand in his mouth. When he saw that it was the soldier Huang Baiqiang in front of him, he laughed first and shouted, "Your boy's life is so hard. He's not dead yet."

Huang Baiqiang saw Zhou Wu playing a pantomime. His mouth was moving, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly. He raised his voice and asked, "What?"

Zhou Wu did not go there better than Huang Baiqiang. He shook his head, his head was drowsy, and his ears were also temporarily deaf. The two could not communicate in words at all.

Zhou Wu staggered to his feet, full of the endgame, where he could still laugh. It was originally a defensive position with gullies. After the fierce bombing of this round of artillery fire, the earth at this time was like a moon. The craters, large and small, were covered with both sides of the trenches. The degree of tragedy was not comparable to the face full of young beans. The intensity, ferocity and density of the artillery fire of the Beiyang Army have entered the ranks of the top troops of this era.

The firearms were blown into broken parts and broken into possibly scrap iron that has not been repaired. The flesh and blood of the corpses are scattered all over the place, and the best jigsaw puzzler can't spell a complete corpse.

A burst of night wind came, with the stench of burning organic matter, the sweet smell of blood, and the pervasive smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed into a strange and disgusting smell. Several pieces of charred clothing were swept into the night sky by the wind. This was originally the position of a class, but at this time, there were only two survivors on the bloody battlefield.

The battlefield has become an inhuman hell, and the light red blood and slight sadness haunt them. This seemingly endless world, inhuman-like world, is designed to make them survive for the time being. Looking at the broken bodies of comrades-in-arms, and seeing the Beiyang Army destroy their hopes and ideals? Is this kind of life a happy person or a sad person?

In the faint blood color, the thick black gunpowder smoke rolled in the night sky, covering the stars, the sun and the moon, as if the souls of the dead revolutionary soldiers were angry and roaring. The living do not have the right to be sad. No matter how weak the hope is, they should pursue the spirit of the revolution and move forward bravely and vow to defend the revolutionary ideal to the death.

"All ready, return the bayonet of the living." Zhou Wu's battalion commander dispersed in the wilderness. As the artillery stopped, it also meant that the Beiyang Army's infantry charge would follow.

Huang Baiqiang found a rifle and ran over with difficulty. There were no living people in this class. Perhaps this would be the last cruel bloody night he experienced. Huang Baiqiang shook his head. The shock wave of the explosion made his head dizzy, and the buzz in his ears had begun to fade slowly. There is nothing to be afraid of when you die. It's better to die without being a slave than to be a slave to the flag man.

Lidian and Yangzhai are small plains formed by the alluvial water of the Yan Railway. It is completely an open land in the wilderness. If the revolutionary army wants to defend its position on such a terrain, it can only rely on flesh and blood to resist the heavy fire attack of the enemy's gunfire. It is also because of this that the collision between the revolutionary army and the Beiyang army has become a flesh and blood mill.

From the ruins behind Zhou Wu, revolutionary soldiers constantly dragged their tired bodies out to support this position.

"Listen to my orders and then fire." Zhou Wu shouted. I don't know if he made a Maxim light machine gun from there again. The muzzle was aimed at the dark front, and his eyes flashed fiercely like a wolf.

Taking advantage of the gap before the Beiyang army infantry came up, Huang Baiqiang silently counted more than 100 people, together with himself and the battalion personnel who came to support, and even Lao Wang from the cooking class came.

Dawu did not have the fierce battle scene in Lidian. Lin Tiechang has received Li Xiang's order to carry out a strategic retreat.

The brigade's army and horses escorted the people to retreat to the towns and towns near Yangping. Under the undifferentiated shelling of the Beiyang Army, the people of Dawu were stunned. Only by listening to the command of the revolutionary army soldiers could they take action.

In the night, a group of figures moved south. The revolutionary army tried its best to maintain it, but the scene was still noisy and chaotic. More soldiers and horses opened their defenses in the north, and it was sent by Lin Tiechang to the north to block the enemy's attack.

Lin Tiechang rode a horse and ran on a hill. Looking back, Dawu County was burning with a blazing flame. Lin Tie's fierceness and indignation were all written on his face. He did not fight with the Beiyang Army, and he was always unconvinced. The soldiers who went south with Lin Tiechang also looked back north from time to time. The battle between Li Dian and Yang Zhai was very lively, and they were envious.

The headquarters has issued an order to withdraw from Dawu and defend Li Dian. Relying on the mountains and hills north of Lidian to set up defenses to protect the wide water. The revolutionary army is in Guangshui, that is, they can threaten Wushengguan and Dawu at any time, and threaten the railway and land routes of the Beiyang Army going south. Dawu Xingsheng is not as good as Guangshui. Li Xiang has made a decision to give up long ago. While there is no more power to lay a bigger network, you can shrink the network a little. Moreover, before the Beiyang Army took Dawu, the revolutionary army only needed to attack Wushengguan one point, but now it has two points to attack Wushengguan and Dawu. In addition, it can also attack the line between the two points.

"Death for Lord Yuan!" An officer of the Beiyang Army pulled out a command knife from his waist and roared at the Beiyang Army soldiers behind him, with an excited face that he had a fanatical belief in Yuan Shikai, the parents of food and clothing.

"Death for Lord Yuan!" Hundreds of Beiyang soldiers responded in unison, and the sound shocked the night sky. The rifle that stuck on the bayonet obliquely stood up and slowly rushed to the smoky battlefield.

This is the fifth charge launched by the Beiyang Army, and the resistance of the Revolutionary Army is extremely tenacious. The Beiyang army also failed to achieve the unsuspecting effect of the enemy with desperate charging tactics. The attack is often surrounded, which becomes useless in dealing with this tenacious revolutionary army. Before the war, Feng Guozhang had used Yuan Shikai's earlier secret agents to carefully investigate around Wusheng Pass. This time, he used the German-style combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army to carry out very strong infiltration tactics. But it was blocked in the small Lidian and Yangzhai.

Dawu County has been taken down, but Li Dian can't take it. Feng Guozhang couldn't help roaring loudly on the phone and scolded the commanders at all levels. Therefore, when the attack was launched again at this time, the commanders at all levels of the Beiyang Army infantry battalion waved command knives one after another, shouted the loudest slogans, personally led the team to press forward, and commanded the troops to launch a decisive charge to the positions of the revolutionary army.

After the offensive initiation line was determined, before the artillery cover, the battalion management belt personally brought a battalion of people, which had already taken the lead in the left wing, followed by another battalion led by the other battalion management belt on the right wing. The two wings enveloped, and a battalion was ready to rush in the middle.

The Beiyang Army has prepared four well-trained infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and one cavalry battalion with complete combat effectiveness and complete equipment. After the attack initiation line, the troops of the cavalry battalion formed a formation of scattered soldiers, unfolding horizontally, waiting for the beginning of the attack.

Whether it is the detailed arrangement of the Beiyang army's coordination, the time to cross the attack initiation line, and the attack initiation line of the extension line of the avant-garde control line, they are extremely standardized and have definitely got the true biography of the Germans.

This round of shelling is slightly less accurate because of the night. When the roar of the gunfire finally stopped, the pipe belt in charge of the central breakthrough battalion took the lead in pulling out the saber, shouted to die for Lord Yuan, and led his central breakthrough force to attack Li Dian.

At night, the figures of Beiyang soldiers in the distance have been faintly visible, and these black shadows emerge sparsely like ghosts. The attacking formation of the Beiyang Army was very open and even loose, which was the reason to prevent the dense formation from being suppressed by the limited artillery fire of the revolutionary army.

"I'm ready. I'll fight when the dog approaches." The voice of Battalion Chief Zhou Wu came from not far away, and the position he guarded was the place where the Beiyang army sought a central breakthrough.

Huang Baiqiang, who was lying on the already shallow trench wall, silently pulled out the rope of the grenade at hand and waited for the Beiyang soldiers to come up. The rifle bayonet lying beside him was ready, and the blade flashed through the cold light of blood.

Captain Zhou Wu's machine gun was adjusted to the enemy's dense place, and his deputy was busy hanging the bullet chain and sorting it out.

This Maxim light machine gun will definitely become a nightmare for Beiyang soldiers. You don't have to think about it. Under the splash of bullets, the peanuts of yellow oranges and oranges will be ubiquitous.

"Two hundred and fifty meters, the enemy is about to come up." The experienced veteran measured the distance visually and constantly reported the results of the experience visually measured behind him.

The barbed wire and trenches set up in front of the previous defense line have long been blown up by dense gunfire. The trenches are so shallow that they can just lie down, and the blocking wooden stakes and deer forts inserted diagonally in the soil have also been burned black, emitting smoke, or simply burning. Except for the large and small craters scattered all over the position, it is the trench that has long been blown into half, and many fixed fire points originally set up have been directly blown into craters by large-caliber shells. Zhou Wu was able to find a complete Maxim light machine gun, and he had to thank the Buddha for his blessing.

"Kill!" In the frantic shouts, groups of Beiyang soldiers launched the last distance to the position of the Chinese army at a distance of less than 100 meters under the pressure of officers at all levels waving command knives.
