123 mountains and rivers (lower b)

Sun Wu raised his hand and lifted the brim of the hat a little, and his sight was also a little wider. The drizzle is like silk, woven into an all-encompeting net. The steam of water vapor in large lakes and swamps, and the hazy haze that can't be blown away by the wind. There are three black iron bridges built on it, like a dragon hidden in the water mist of Daze, which is waiting to fly from time to time. The Sandao Bridge is the only way from Liujia Temple to Lukou.

Sun Wu can clearly see that more and more Beiyang troops have gathered, staring at each other across the three bridges. The traces of the bloody battle that day were still fresh. There were gorgeous dark red blood stains on the dark iron bridge that could not be washed off by rain, and the empty shells of yellow, orange and orange could be seen everywhere in the grass beside the mud. Zhang Biao's remnants had stubbornly blocked here and suppressed Li Xiang's revolutionary army several charges. A large area of lake mud gathers countless blood. The reinforcements brought by Xia Zhankui from Hunan then joined the battlefield of the Three Bridges. The two sides killed the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon were shining. In the end, these strong enemies were trampled on by Li Xiang.

Sun Wu had to look at Li Xiang... Li Xiang, who always likes to promote unrealistic ideals, Li Xiang, who is deviant and surpasses the revolutionary Li Xiang, who is a joke in their gossip in Wuchang... Rises like a comet and falls like a comet. Some time ago, the light was so bright that people couldn't look directly at it, but in the end it was just a joke. Li Wei was only short-lived, which also made Sun Wu envious.

Sun Wu thought about it and couldn't help sneering. Seeing that Li Xiang and Huang Xing can only make jokes around, you will know that in this era, it is useless to have ideals. He couldn't help laughing at himself. Why did he laugh at others? In the end, he still didn't get anything and made wedding clothes for others. At least Li Xiang and Huang Xing can feel at ease and have no regrets... But what about himself? It's just another joke, a joke that can only attract abuse and hate. Xie Yuankai, standing behind him, may be scolding him for deserve it.

Xie Yuankai, who stood beside Sun Wu, was also touched a lot when he saw such a depressed smile. Sun Wu did everything, got nothing, and finally got annoying on both sides. Is this a sin? Do you deserve it? However, after all, Sun Wu is an old comrade among the Hubei revolutionaries. Now he can go to the front line of the battlefield to win back a little respect from the revolutionaries and his sympathy for his frustrated Wuchang Advisory Bureau.

Sun Wu stood in the rain and looked at the hazy Beiyang army fortifications behind the haze rain curtain opposite the three bridges. He seemed to be so lonely as in the late autumn season.

Looking at the lost and lost Sun Wu, Xie Yuankai could no longer feel bad about him. Now that the enemy is in danger, Hankou is in danger. All presistences should be abandoned, and they can no longer be divided like Huang Xing's filial piety. The revolutionary army can no longer withstand the defeat. Huang Xing's defeat is already an unbearable blow to the revolution. If the land of the first righteousness falls again, then the revolution can only repeat the mistakes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The revolutionaries in Hubei must unite, because the revolutionaries in other provinces are all excluded. Who else can they expect to withstand Hubei Tianqing for them? Perhaps the most powerful Li wants to have this ability.

Xie Yuankai shook his head gently. Li thought he would not be so stupid. He was whimsified. The Hankou incident has revealed clear information that the Wuchang Group and the Alliance Group will never allow the existence of a deviant like him. This is an ideological struggle that exists in ideology and involves the entanglement of chaotic interests. If Li wants to help Hankou, it must be a bitter battle. Even if he defends Hankou, it is enough to consume the strength in his hand. Li Xiang's New Deal Revolution has offended the interests of too many people and offended too many people. If Li Xiang has no soldiers, how can he protect himself and protect the huge wealth of his Xinhua consortium?

"Impossible!" Xie Yuankai unconsciously said what he was thinking at this moment.

Sun Wu suddenly woke up from a lonely meditation and asked, "What's impossible?"

Xie Yuankai was stunned and looked at Sun Wu, who had a questioning face, until he knew that he had made a mistake. He shook his head and said, "I said that although the rain is not big, it is still impossible for Feng Guozhang to attack on a rainy day."

Sun Wu's autumn clothes outside have been soaked by the fur and rain. He felt the autumn wind and drizzle and nodded, "The big lake is dense here. It is difficult to find a dry foothold, and it is not conducive to the army's attack on rainy days. Because the civilian army attacked Lukou in the rain yesterday, it was strafed by the Beiyang Army's machine gun guarding the railway bridge. The attack failed, and there were many casualties. Feng Guozhang should not make the same mistake as us. He should always learn some lessons.

As a result, the civilian army retreated and could only build fortifications between the Sandao Bridge and Liujia Temple to prevent the Beiyang army from entering the city. Now they are blocked on the south side of Sandao Bridge.

Xie Yuankai complained when he mentioned this and snorted coldly, "Some party members are hot-blooded, short-sighted and self-righteous. He always thought that Li wanted to seize the three bridges in a war and broke through Zhang Biao and Xia Zhankui, as if he was drinking boiled water easily. This is to underestimate Li Xiang, Zhang Biao, Xia Zhankui, Feng Guozhang opposite, and overestimated himself. I oppose the reckless attack and even say that I am not enthusiastic about the revolution.

"You are frank enough. I just like you, a straightforward man." Sun Wu laughed and said that he was intrigued in the consultation bureau. The people he saw were all dark masters who hid knives in their laughter. He almost forgot that there was a person in the world who was straight to the skin and eyes. What is the current situation of Feng Guozhang? In the First World War yesterday, can you see how false Feng Guozhang is?

Xie Yuankai said without thinking much, "When we attacked at that time, the reaction of the Beiyang army was extremely fast, and the counterattack was also fierce. I even suspected that Feng Guozhang was sitting in the mouth. The Beiyang in Lukou is strong and has strong firepower. Moreover, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army fought fiercely and dared to fight bayonet. If we don't have the support of artillery, we can't take down three bridges.

Sun Wu frowned and said, "The strategy has deduced the battle situation on the map. They all believe that Feng Guozhang will concentrate a force and attack the Hankou people's army with an absolute advantage, intending to consume the main force of the Hankou people's army in the first battle. Will the Beiyang Army, which lives in Lukou, be the main force of Feng Guozhang's first army?

Xie Yuankai said in disbelief: "I agree with the deduction of strategy, but it is difficult for me to recognize that the Beiyang Army stationed in Lukou is the main force of Feng Guozhang's first army. Three bridges are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why does Feng Guozhang want to be easy to take? Feng Guozhang's Jiuli battlefield is also famous in the Beiyang Army, and he will not be so unwise. If..."

Sun Wu couldn't wait to ask, "What if?"

Xie Yuankai hesitated slightly and said, "If Zhang Jingliang defects, even the three bridges can't be guarded."

Sun Wu's face changed slightly. No wonder Xie Yuankai, who is straight-hearted, will also hesitate. This is just for us. You should know that the spread will only affect the hearts of the people's army and the hearts of the people. Since Li Xiang and Huang Xing left Hankou one after another, the morale of the army and the people have been in a low mood. Because of the brutality of the Beiyang Army, it has aroused the morale of the people in Hankou. It can't be vented. Hankou can't stand it anymore. What's more, Zhang Jingliang is a little sincere when he takes his wife as his hostage.

After all, Sun Wu was born in the army. Zhang Jingliang, the commander-in-chief of the civilian army, has established the fact that he is very unhappy, but he wants to continue to insist on opposing, which is to disturb the hearts of the army. Yi Shuai has dealt a serious blow to the heart of the people's army. No matter how easy it is, the heart of the army will not disperse the mud at the bottom of the river. After all, Sun Wu is also a revolutionary. At the beginning, he set up the money of the Tianxian Bureau for the revolutionary funds. Now the revolutionary situation is critical, and it is impossible for him to toss around.

Xie Yuankai gritted his teeth and said, "If we pretend not to see, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Zhang Jingliang loves to sing high, and he likes to read the book of sages. He is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long. His loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is simply engraved in his bones. I don't know how much he hates the revolutionaries. On the first night after the success of the uprising, he led the braided flag soldiers into the consultation bureau to rescue Li Yuanhong. If it hadn't been for Xiong Bingkun, he might have succeeded. If he hadn't been good to Cai Jimin, the old subordinate of the revolutionary, and had Li Yuanhong as a guarantee for him, he would have died long ago.

Sun Wu thought that this should be his own evil, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he could not win the position of commander-in-chief of the civilian army, otherwise he would not have such concerns. He nodded helplessly and said, "We can't talk nonsense about such concerns. If the revolutionaries can unite as one, how powerful is Feng Guozhang's Beiyang army, what can we do?

Xie Yuankai couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly. Is it too late for you Sun Wu to wake up now? If you can work together with Huang Xing in Xiaogan, you have already broken Feng Guozhang's camp. Now... He said with an embarrassed face, "Huang Xing has left. Go there to find a person who can win the hearts of the people and the hearts of the army to lead the revolution?"

Sun Wu blushed imperceptiblely, felt the coldness of the rain on his face, and muttered, "Let's just put aside Zhang Jingliang and defend the three bridges completely independently. What do you think?"

Xie Yuankai nodded and said, "Although Zhang Jingliang restricts our ammunition, the ammunition supply is all in Liujia Temple. It's not far from here, and they are also our people. We control the supply point of Liujia Temple in our hands, so we don't have to be afraid of any restrictions from Zhang Jingliang."

Sun Wuxi said, "That's it. I immediately returned to the Liujia Temple, discussed with Jiang Yiwu, and cooperated with you to take action to take Zhang Jingliang.

Xie Yuankai nodded and agreed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. If Zhang Jingliang was empty, would Sun Wu be in power? This question can only exist in his heart for the time being. After all, Sun Wu is much more reliable than Zhang Jingliang. He said slowly, "But we can only defend three bridges. If Feng Guozhang's main force is not three bridges, we still can't defend."

Sun Wu said happily, "I'm sure that Feng Guozhang must choose this place as the attack site."

Xie Yuankai whispered, "Is this speculation or information provided by the informant?"

Sun Wu smiled dumbly and was about to speak when the scream that cut through the air came. Sun Wu and Xie Yuankai jumped back and rushed to the trenches behind them out of the instinct of soldiers. The flying bomb tore open the rain and fog like haze on the heavy lake swamp, and accurately fell on the place where they had just stood. Both of them felt a huge earthquake on the ground, followed by "Bum!" There was a deafening sound, and a burst of debris fell in the drizzle. Feng Guozhang launched an attack when they all thought it was impossible. More shells roared across three bridges and fell densely into the civilian positions.

The explosive gunpowder smoke stopped for a while. Sun Wu came out of the trench, and a long list of bullets then swung past his ear. The strong bullet wind made his cheeks hurt like a knife. He couldn't help taking a deep breath and shrinking his head while secretly celebrating his fate. The artillery fire of the Beiyang Army was followed by an infantry assault. The fierce machine gun firepower of the Beiyang Army almost became the biggest nightmare on the front line of the civilian army. The rain of these light and heavy machine guns almost completely formed an impenetrable wall of death, which made the soldiers of the People's Army unable to raise their heads in the trenches.

The Beiyang Army was rushing along the three bridges. The civilian soldiers next to Sun Wu shook their hands and threw a grenade, cursing and grinning, "Grandpa fought with you. You beasts, ruined my Cuihua, poor..." Before he finished speaking, a flying bullet pierced the brother. On his face, his head was slightly tilted back, and warm blood sprayed out. He couldn't even hum, so he fell on his back with half of the unfinished words and a belly of resentment. In this way, many civilian soldiers were knocked down in a pool of blood by the machine guns of the Beiyang Army.

Sun Wu looked at the face that was twisted by bullets and fell beside him, and the warm blood also touched his face. He felt that his heart was pounding wildly. It was not the first time he saw a dead person, but it was the first time that he was so close to death. Suddenly, he felt a panic, and there were dense guns in his ears. The sound also became very fictitious.

Boom, a cannonball exploded not far away in front of him. The sound of a huge explosion was accompanied by a black and red fiery wave. The rain and gravel hanging on his face was painful. The sound of the explosion in his ears strongly hit Sun Wu's head, and the instantaneous blank was followed by the sudden drowsy tingling.

"Sun Wu!" Xie Yuankai's wild shouting voice came from far and near, and faintly sounded in Sun Wu's ear. Boom! ... Another huge explosion sounded in his ear. With a buzz, Sun Wu only felt that his head had been hit hard again, and his headache was about to crack. As the strong smoke gradually dissipated, the assault infantry of the Beiyang army had approached the position of the civilian army, and the Beiyang army stopped covering and shooting. The cold rain poured on his face. Sun Wu finally woke up and saw Xie Yuankai gesturing vigorously at himself at the other end of the trench.

"The Beiyang Army came up and killed him to death." There were noisy shouts everywhere around Sun Wu, and the gunfire became more dense, covering up their shouts in an instant.

Experienced veterans and student soldiers who have received military training, avoiding the gunfire of the Beiyang Army, quickly climbed to the edge of the trench, and shot fiercely at the Beiyang army that was surging like a tide. The grenade with white smoke, like a swifting through the drizzle, swirled and fell out. Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions came one after another, and the scattered soil was splashed everywhere. The Beiyang army soldiers who charged in three or two groups were instantly blown up with flesh and blood. The Beiyang army left amputations and incomplete bodies all the way, as well as the dead and wounded who squirmed and moaned without swallowing their last breath.

Sun Wumao crossed a trench with his waist and merged with Xie Yuankai. Xie Yuankai was lying on the edge of the trench and paying serious attention to the position not far away in front of him. In the hazy rain and fog, a Beiyang Army officer with a command knife squatted slightly, arrogantly commanding two light machine guns to sweep this side. The spilled bullets formed a very dangerous fire suppression against the civilian soldiers in the trench. And taking advantage of the cover of this machine gun firepower, several Beiyang soldiers with cats and guns are quickly detouring this way.

"Machine Gunner! Beat that Niu Yuanman to death!" Xie Yuankai gritted his teeth and shouted wildly, waving to greet Mark Qin, who was not only a few meters away from him.

Da Da Da, Mark Qin's heavy machine gun, who was roaring with a fire tongue, slightly deflected the gun body, and the fierce fire chain cut the curtain of the drizzle. He saw the truth after the hazy, and pointed to the Beiyang machine gunmen. Where the firelight of ** passed, a piece of flesh and blood was sprinkled into the rain. Several Beiyang soldiers didn't even have time to dodge, so they were splashed all over their brains by the flying bullets, and the scarlet blood and white brains were all over the ground. The officers of the Beiyang Army, who had been squatting slightly and waving their knives to command, were hit like honeycomb coal by bullets, and their chests were full of bloody bullet holes, which quickly overflowed on the soaked clothes. The first round of the Beiyang Army's attack was slightly resisted.

The artillery of the Beiyang Army first bombarded the revolutionary army ambushed around the Sandao Bridge with heavy artillery, opening the prelude to the attack on Hankou. The infantry of the Beiyang Army attacked head-on along the railway from Lukou, while another Beiyang army attacked from Daijiashan and Gusaoshu to the side of Liujiamiao and Sandao Bridge. The Beiyang army and soldiers attacked in several ways, and the purpose was still to live in Liujiamiao, the main force of the civilian army of Sandao Bridge. The combat troops of Sandaoqiao are mainly the regular army of the Hubei New Army, but Liu Jiamiao can be said to be the real civilian army and the peasant army in Hankou.

The sound of the battle gun in Hankou spread directly to the Red Mansion in Wuchang. After all, Li Yuanhong is known as the second figure in the Hubei military. From his intuition, he can guess that the dangerous battle ahead is imminent. Li Yuanhong himself has been inseparable from the Hubei Revolution and must keep Hankou, even when he negotiates peace with Yuan Shikai in the future. So he immediately sent infantry officer Zhang Tingfu, artillery officer Cai Demao, and dared captain Fang Xing and Ma Rong to lead troops to cross the river to support, along the city circle of Hankou and Zhang Gongdi in the northeastern suburbs of Hankou to strengthen the patrol.

Xie Yuankai, who rolled like a mud monkey, raised his face darkened by gunpowder smoke and shouted to Sun Wu, "The revolutionary army suffered heavy casualties, and the situation is very critical. It's too dangerous here. Go back quickly."

"Go? What about you?" Sun Wu shouted, and the gunfire rumbled behind him. Sun Wu reflexively shrank his neck. In fact, he had been timid for a long time, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on the line of fire.

Xie Yuankai was moved by Sun Wu's concern and shouted, "There is a lack of prestigious front-line command here. The damaged troops are easy to fall into chaos. I absolutely can't leave."

Sun Wu was a little helpless and could only say, "If you don't leave, I can't leave."

The angry shouts were like the sound of the waves of the Yangtze River, dozens of figures emerged from the fire, and the Beiyang army, like the water of the Yangtze River, gushed out three bridges and rushed straight to the position of the people's army. Xie Yuankai looked at Sun Wu, who was already in a mess and didn't care about talking. Xie Yuankai shouted, "Go up the bayonet!" Go!" He ordered the whole line to launch a counterattack and use a counter charge to curb the wave attack of the Beiyang Army. At this moment, only when it is completely strangled with the enemy, the firepower advantage of the Beiyang Army cannot be exerted.

"Let's go! It's his **!" Xie Yuankai climbed out of the trench, raised his command knife high, stood straight like a green onion, shouted proudly, turned a blind eye to the flowing bullets that were shot around him, and rushed up at the Beiyang army. One soldier after another followed him to climb out of the trench, "Go!" The whole trench was filled with a tragic, brave and fearless atmosphere. Everyone was hoarse and made an almost non-human roar. Go!" Along the winding trenches, hundreds of mud monkey-like figures rolled out of the wet trenches in the rain, with bursts of shouts, rushed to the Beiyang army surging like a mountain torrent. This is the burst of blood that has been suppressed for more than 260 years, and this is the oath of resistance of those who do not want to be slaves to the Manchus.

Boom, a wave of air with a loud explosion, will lift several soldiers up, and then smash them into the trenches. Boom, another firelight. Several National Army soldiers who had just climbed out of the trench were cut open by flying shrapnel, their flesh and blood splashed everywhere, and their limbs flew around.

"Kill with me!" Seeing the artillery of the Beiyang Army carry out a precise attack, Xie Yuankai's eyes were full of anger. At this time, there is no time to care about who is seriously injured. It is best to lead the troops to charge immediately.

Sun Wu also saw this tragic scene. Looking at the body that flew out in the firelight and was cut into pieces by shrapnel, Sun Wu's heart suddenly sank, pulled out the sergeant's knife from his waist and climbed out of the trench. The revolution is about losing your head, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

These days are still a very short new life, which has made them miss the wind of republican democracy and civilization. No one is willing to go back to the Qing Dynasty, live a dark day, drag the pig's tail behind their heads, be full slaves, and be the lowest yellow pigs. The heinous cruel acts of the Beiyang army after entering Hubei made them extremely angry. The meaning of the revolution is very clear, which is to strive to keep the hard-won new life.

"Let's go!" With the leading charge of Xie Yuankai and Sun Wu, the whole front set off a counterattack at the same time. In the shouts of the sky, the black figure launched a desperate charge towards the offensive torrent of the Beiyang Army. Two overwhelming torrents collided, and the blood waves splashed.

Feng Guozhang, with a blue face, silently put down his telescope, and he commanded on the front line of Lukou. He experienced the tenacity of the revolutionaries, the tenacity and the will to die on the battlefield, just like the Japanese soldiers met in North Korea, fierce in their bones. The sudden counterattack launched by the civilian army was greatly beyond his expectation. At this time, if the Beiyang army cannot stabilize its position quickly, it is likely to be severely damaged by the civilian army, and the adverse impact on the whole front is also extremely serious.

The drizzle stopped slightly, the sky fell into dusk, and the war continued. Boom... Boom... Boom, a series of shells roared down, and the whole position was splashed with flesh and blood. Many civilian soldiers flew flesh and blood in the light of the fire. Some people were even hit with bullet holes by the bullets that had just jumped out of the trench. In the night, there were flying bullets and roaring shells. Under the leadership of Xie Yuankai, countless soldiers of the civilian army roared against the flying bullet, "Kill!"

The trajectory of countless shiny trackless lights flies like a chain of fire, interweaving a terrible line of fire in the night. People are constantly falling down, and there is a bloody fog and a continuous falling sound everywhere. Under the leading charge of battalion and company officers, a group of civilian soldiers suppressed the whole Luodian front and set off a flood of Jedi counterattacks. On the whole front, it was like experiencing a stormy metal baptism, and shells kept roaring down. The bullets shot from the head and covering the face flew head like a black crow in the Forbidden City, and the intertwined lines of fire flew across the night.

The lightning-like firelight is intertwined and blooming in the drowing land of war, and the explosive air waves are mixed with flying fragments splashing the death they want to bring. Flesh and mud are flying everywhere under the night sky. Under the fierce fire of the Beiyang Army, the casualties of the people who counterattacked were extremely amazing. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, blood fog, broken meat and soil were constantly lifted and put in the night. And the rain of machine gun bullets that swept over the sky knocked down rows of civilian soldiers like cutting wheat.

Sun Wu barely got up from the trench again, and his body was exhausted. Through the firelight of the explosion, he could faintly see the incomplete bodies of his dead companions, gunpowder smoke and the smell of blood choking. In front of the front not far away, the troops were colliding into a regiment with the Beiyang Army, and an extremely tragic hand-to-hand battle broke out.

Sun Wu stumbled out of the trench, and a burst of severe pain made him snorting. The sudden charge just made his palm penetrate by a bullet, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to walk. Sun Wu shook his head and made himself a little more sober. He stammered forward with a knife. There were dead and injured civilian soldiers everywhere, as well as the bodies of the Beiyang Army who were killed in the previous attack. The ground was covered with scorched earth soaked with blood. The mutilated guns and corpses were overlapping, which was full of frightening, and there was no shortage of it. The ferocious color of the Asura field.

The intertwined shouting sound, the dying howl, the muffled sound when the bayonet sank into the human body, and the broken sound of the iron shovel splitting bones. When the saber danced, the rolled-up knife flower and the shining cold light of the bayonet bloomed under the night.

While Xie Yuankai, holding the saber, hit everything with a big man from the north, he dodged and avoided the bayonet that the Beiyang soldier stabbed, and at the same time, the saber in his hand split down. There was a crisp sound, and a blood arrow splashed high. The big man with his neck cut off took a few steps forward with the inertia of the thrust, and fell down.

Under the night that had just come, the Beiyang army slowly walked away like a black tide.

Xie Yuankai supported his shaky tired body with a knife pillar, and stared at the Beiyang army and retreated slowly. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion behind him, and the earth was trembling slightly. The sound seemed to come from the direction of Liu's temple in the distance, and then there were several loud noises. The soldiers in front of them turned around one after another and saw black mushroom clouds rising in the rear from afar. It was the explosion of the arsenal of Liujia Temple. Then the black smoke rose to the sky, and the new shack area of the new Hankou was ignited again. Xie Yuankai looked at the fire that was about to burn the sky, painful and desperate. The revolutionaries guarding the three bridges all had the same expression.
