ideal era

130 Ye Weiyang 1

The night is as dark as ink, and those vast and quiet. The cold wind keeps roaring, and the weather is getting colder and colder. It's already winter.

Li Xiang was a little afraid of cold and wrapped up the robe he didn't know where he found. He looked at the dark night sky that he couldn't see, and thought about it in a daze. He couldn't see through the vicissitudes in the darkness, but his prophet of history made him clearly know the huge crisis behind this tranquility.

China is a country with deep-rooted feudal forces. If it does not mobilize millions of people to cause a big social change, it cannot destroy the foundation of the feudal system. This revolution can only be abandoned halfway. And the peace agreement is equivalent to abandoning halfway. Although the news of Wuchang has not yet spread, Li wants to know that Wuchang may not be able to withstand the pressure to sign the peace agreement.

"It's so cold that it's going to snow." Tang Yuewan's voice followed the cold wind, which was also so cold. Her eyes became brighter and brighter in the dark, and she looked at the outline of the side, and her figure cast in the dark shadow of the firelight in the distance to outline the faint soft lines.

Li wanted to come to his senses, and his eyes immediately became gentle when he touched Tang Yuewan. Her beauty is incompatible with this battlefield and should only belong to the era of peace. Li wanted to walk over, and naturally held Tang Yuewan in his arms, completely forgetting the men's and women's defense of this era. He said casually, "If there is a heavy snowfall, it will be more beneficial for our next battle... Is it still cold?"

Tang Yuewan snuggled up to Li and lay on his warm chest. Hearing his powerful heartbeat synchronized with himself, he really wanted to rely on it until the end of time. She seemed to be talking to herself and said, "If there is peace, should the war be over?"

Li Xiang's heart suddenly broke out. He didn't expect Tang Yuewan to think the same. In addition to his shock, an dishonest magic palm that secretly wandered around Tang Yuewan's buttocks fell. Tang Yuewan immediately looked up and stared at Li Xiang in consternation, and his eyes were stunned.

Li Xiang smiled dryly, but did not mean to let go of his hand and said, "Revolution has no compromise, compromise is not revolution. If you negotiate with Yuan Shikai, it will represent the failure of the Chinese revolution.

"Take your stinky hand away first." Tang Yuewan said angrily. It was not until Li wanted to take back her palm that she continued, "Why do you look at Yuan Shikai like this?"

Why? Many people have such questions about Li Xiang. But for Li Xiang, this is the most natural thing, and there is no need to ask why.

Li Xiang did not answer immediately, but looked back at the camp in the valley. A large pile of bonfires reflected the night sky around the camp. Groups of soldiers surrounded the fire to keep warm, constantly throwing the pine branches cut off on the mountain into the fire. The cold wind poured into the valley, and the flames jumped wildly. Mars also splashed unscrupulously, adding a few new autumn military uniforms that were newly issued when the soldiers left Hankou a few months ago, which were already dilapidated.

Li Xiang and Tang Yuewan stood in front of the tent of the temporary headquarters and stared at the chaotic camp. After continuous field battles, this army is already exhausted. Why doesn't Li want the war to end as soon as possible? But what kind of person is Yuan Shikai? Even if people all over the world don't understand Li Xiang at this moment, he has decided to go his own way to the end!

Tang Yuewan's questioning eyes made Li think upset. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Yuan Shikai is a very ambitious person. He wrote the poem 'Zhongyuan Lu Zhengfei' when he was a teenager, which can be seen. Ambition is nothing, and we can also say that he is ambitious. The key is that he is a person who has a misaligned relationship with the old forces of the Qing Dynasty. Such a person himself is a member of the corrupt feudal dynasty. It is by no means the hope of China, but only a disaster. After overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establishing another Yuan Dynasty, it was still a failure of the revolution. Some people always believe that overthrowing the Manchu Qing government is republican democracy and revolutionary success. Some people also see the danger of Yuan Shikai, but always think that the car must go to the front of the mountain, thinking that as long as the Republic of China is established, Yuan Shikai will be restrained. What a naive! You should know that the barrel of the gun comes out of power. As long as the Beiyang Army does not fall, no one can restrain Yuan Shikai.

"The commander-in-chief said it wonderfully." I don't know when Zeng Gao walked out of the tent and stood behind them and listened to their conversation. Kang Liang's failure tells us that China needs the renewal of Vientiane to have the possibility of democracy and republic. Yuan Shikai has become the largest representative of China's old feudal forces and has replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If Yuan Shikai is not defeated, there is no possibility of democratic republic.

"I only know that in today's war, there are dead people everywhere, countless families are destroyed by the war, and cities have become rubble and ruins. The war should stop." Tang Yuewan, who was running around on the battlefield with Li Xiang, had seen too many cruel battlefield pictures. The little woman's war-weariness has been lingering in her mind. At this moment, she was so bored that she didn't want to talk more with them. She got rid of Li Xiang and got into the tent.

Li wanted to watch her figure flash into the tent and sigh silently. Women always like peace and hate war, but they don't know that peace needs to be created with bloody wars and maintained with powerful force.

"Actually, I'm also tired of war." Zeng Gao smiled, but there was no smile on his face. But he had to continue the war. It was not until today that I knew that the sense of mission of history was so heavy.

Li Xiang said in his heart, "Grandma, the mission of history is the heaviest burden for the traveler who knows the direction of history like this. Seeing China's most miserable history, it is moving towards reality step by step. The feeling of powerlessness and the anxiety in my heart are great pressure. But in such a dangerous whirlpool of history, such an extraordinary historical period, Li Xiangxin began to travel through life. Li Xiang has a kind of excitement buried in his bones, like the excitement of being lonely for thousands of years. Isn't such a wonderful life also the life he yearned for yy when he read online novels at the beginning?

"It's very heavy, but also very exciting." Li wanted to say, skillfully rolled up a cigarette, went to the bonfire and picked up a burning pine branch to light the cigarette. With a sip, the spicy smell almost choked him, an old smoker. Pegasus cigarettes have been smoked for a long time. The tobacco leaves he smokes now are sold in the local old farmhouse. The taste of this cigarette is not very heavy.

Zeng Gao has been waiting for his follow-up. Li wanted to stare at Zeng Gao and continued, "Thinking of our name, it can be dazzling in this history, thinking that the fate of the country and the nation is closely linked to our fate, and that the future of the country and the nation will be created by us, don't you feel excited. ? "

The cold wind hit his face at night, but Zeng Gao only felt hot in his heart and smiled, "Why don't you think about it?"

"Let's go, check in. Let's study the current situation. Li wanted to smile. He was addicted to smoking and was in good spirits.

The revolutionary army behind the Beiyang Army has not only guerrilla troops behind the enemy in advance, but also attack troops that occasionally serve as frontal defense. The 2,000 cavalry commanded by Li Xiang himself were the attacking troops. Li Xiping, Lin Tiechang, Liu Jing and others were all fighting guerrillas with the Beiyang Army. After following Li Xiang for a period of time, Zeng Gao knew that out of intuition, he knew that Li Xiang had a new battle plan.

Maybe he was infected by Li Xiang's mood, or maybe he walked from the inside of the cold wind to the tent. Zeng Gao felt a warm body.

A lamp in the tent is like a bean, which is not as bright as the fire rising in the charcoal basin for heating. Since the supply of Hankou was cut off, the conditions of Li Xiang's army have plummeted, but he can't break his determination to carry out the revolution to the end.

Li Xiang was holding the only kerosene lamp and leaned over to study the situation on the map. Looking at the picture, the Beijing-Han Railway is full of Beiyang Army occupied areas. The Beiyang Army's arrows extend to the south and have fallen into Hankou. Hanyang, pointing directly to Wuchang. Li Xiang can't help it whenever he sees here.

Li Xiang pointed to the point on the picture and said excitedly, "From the current situation, the Beiyang Army pointing to Wuchang will face the resistance of Jiang Yiwu's People's Army. The combat effectiveness of the Wuchang People's Army was originally quite strong. It was adapted from the former Hubei New Army and is the most elite force in the south. Judging from the annual Yongpingqiu drills with the Beiyang Army, it is no worse than the Beiyang Army. In addition, the attack of the Beiyang Army will not be smooth. However, in the Battle of Hankou, Zhang Jingliang defected, and Wuchang elites suffered heavy losses in Hankou. What's more worrying is whether Wuchang still has the courage after this battle? Do you still have the courage to fight again? Yuan Shikai threw out the bait for peace at this time. Does Wuchang have the courage to refuse the alliance under the city?

Zeng Gao also had a solemn face and said, "I dare not have any hope for Wuchang. Hankou can be defeated so quickly and so miserable, which has fully publicized their incompetence. Success is not enough, failure is more than enough. First, it forced us away, and then dragged down Huang Xing..."

Li Xiang waved his hand and interrupted Zeng Gao's complaint, "It's useless to say more about the past."

Zeng Gao stopped and looked at Li Xiang with admiration. Li Xiang, who was as good as a ghost, was so open-minded that he could hold it up and let go. Feng Guozhang, the president of the Beiyang First Army, presided over the battle of Hankou. Feng Guozhang is a veteran on the battlefield and has fought a tough battle with the Japanese army in North Korea. When Feng Guozhang seized the Wusheng Pass and entered Hubei, we entered the stage of strategic defense, and then came out of Hankou, so until now, we have never fought directly with Feng Guozhang. However, Feng Guozhang's arrogance and good at fighting are famous all over the world. Feng Guozhang only suffered a small setback in the attack of underesthee in Lidian when he entered and out of Hubei, and entangled with us with a big plan that almost failed Yuan Shikai. After that, Feng Guozhang regrouped and went south with hatred. He had the momentum to avenge Li Dian with one arrow. The two wars of Xiaogan and Hankou are indeed Lien Zhan's consecutive victories. In particular, Feng Guozhang's fighting style was fierce, and both cities were burned to ashes. Such a fierce spirit forced Wuchang, even if Wuchang had a steep chasm like the Yangtze River, the combat effectiveness of the defense force, and the fighting spirit was far from that before the fall of Hankou. The fragile Wuchang side has no possibility of resisting the pressure to continue the revolution. Fortunately, Yuan Shikai only wants peace. We don't have to worry about the fall of Wuchang.

Sure enough, Zeng Gao and Li Xiang's views coincide. Li thought about it and walked around, looking at the situation of both sides on the battle map on the table from time to time. The map is already quite fine, and the terrain of the mountains and rivers is clear at a glance. Like the middle school textbooks that Li Xiang saw a hundred years later, many irregular circular thin lines are the contours of the mountains, and the winding thick lines mark the official post road. A striking black line represents the Beijing-Han Railway's use of Hubei, and each traffic arteries is three or three taels. The two are dotted with towns, and there are a lot of traditional Chinese characters written on which Li doesn't want to understand, which can't affect his study of the battlefield situation.

Li Xiang muttered, "Well, the Beiyang Army, which fought deep into Hubei, is fierce no matter how fierce it is, and the traffic line is inseparable. In modern warfare, fighting is supply, fighting is logistics.

Zeng Gao suddenly realized that he naturally knew very well what would it mean if the combat troops lost ammunition and supply supplements? From Xinyang to Hankou, such a long supply line, it seems that our attack on the Beiyang Army's traffic line was not strong enough some time ago.

Zeng Gao figured out Li Xiang's intention and immediately turned back to the perspective of the General Staff to think and formulate a strategy for the battle plan. In this way, it returns to the original place of strategic defense. This is the truth. When the strength is far inferior to the enemy, this is the best coping strategy. Since Yuan Shikai's purpose of taking Hankou is to force Wuchang, he just wants Wuchang to sit down for peace talks. With such a change in the situation, we have lost the purpose of going south to aid Hankou and Wuchang. War should be adapted to local conditions and be flexibly arrayed. Because there are no obstacles in the defense of Xiaogan, it will be defeated quickly and miserably. Our strength is not as good as that of the Beiyang Army. We can only suffer losses. With the Beiyang Army, the best terrain is the Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain area north of Xiaogan. Entering the area of Xiaogan, it belongs to the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River Hanshui. The terrain is low and there is no danger to defend. It is better to fight on this unfavorable terrain than to stay in the mountains in the north to deal with the enemy.

Li Xiang laughed. In this era, more people's vision is to put war on urban competition. Zeng Gao was able to keep up with his advanced thinking, and he was indeed a staff military talent. Li wanted to laugh and said, "Maybe we have not been noticed by Feng Guozhang. He has forgotten that we are all possible. We may still be able to get the effect of a strange soldier. Although there was a small contact in Lidian when the Beiyang army entered Hubei and launched a comprehensive offensive, we were all at the end of the following wars. Feng Guozhang was single-minded to deal with Wuchang, and the Beiyang army only went south all the way. In addition to the Huangzhou Theater on the Eastern Front, Li Xiping's army, which blocked Duan Qirui, did suffer a lot of blows, but Li Xiping's subordinate departments did not suffer a devastating blow, and we did not suffer any serious blow in the north. Therefore, on that day, we followed him to the south behind his buttocks and gave him a few shots from the side or back from time to time, looking like bearded horses, and we were just painless to Feng Guozhang. In addition, when we attacked at night in Xiaogan, it was estimated that Duan Qirui knew Feng Guozhang, and he would not take it seriously. Today, one of the top tasks in our combat is to attack the logistics supply line of the Beiyang Army. After continuous sneak attacks and sieges, until almost all the logistics supply lines of the Beiyang Army were cut off.

Zeng Gao's eyes sparkled with excitement. He picked up a pencil and threw it on the picture. "Send more powerful troops scattered from all directions again, try to bypass the front Beiyang Army, and increase the active attack on the traffic supply line from Xiaogan to Xinyang. In the winter, the supplies of the Beiyang army were cut off. Feng Guozhang had tens of thousands of Beiyang soldiers. If he didn't retreat, he would just wait to freeze to death and starve to death.

"Eat the meal one by one." Li Xiang couldn't help but be proud in his words, "Check the preparations and let our cavalry regiment launch this first shot."

Zeng stood tall and stood up straight and reported: "The cavalry soldiers are strong soldiers selected from the whole army, and they are ready for battle anytime and anywhere."

Li Xiang was not as optimistic as Zeng Gao. He was in the army. How could he not know the situation in the army? Although most of the soldiers are soldiers from Hubei, unlike the Beiyang Army, which is mostly the children of the north, because they do not adapt to the changing climate of Hubei, the water and soil are unconvinced, and there are many people suffering from malignant malaria. Although the soldiers adapted to the water and soil of Hubei, the officers and soldiers also lost their physical strength after more than a month of continuous field battles. The revolutionary army not only has a gap in equipment with the Beiyang Army, but also after the loss of the Hankou logistics base, medical equipment and drugs are also quite short and simple. It can't make up for the consumption through the transportation of local underground gangs such as the Lao Society.

Although Li Xiang was very anxious, there was nothing he could do. This can be seen as long as you walk around the camp. It's not just Tang Yuewan, but even Li wants to face them with war-weariness.

"I'm not in charge of the army." Zeng Gao suddenly said coldly, and he saw a trace of hesitation suddenly emerging in Li Xiang's eyes. We must carry out the revolution to the end and strive for the final victory. If the alliance under the city of Wuchang is allowed to sign and take effect, the revolution will be abandoned halfway, and the second revolution will come again. Don't you know that there will be greater bloodshed and sacrifices? Even if it is only to destroy the armistice peace in Wuchang, we will launch a crazy counterattack against the Beiyang Army, which will completely disturb the situation.

Li Xiang just wanted to avoid the second revolution, not to have more bloodshed and sacrifices, not to completely damage the vitality of the country, and not to let Yuan Shikai's conspiracy succeed. He had to be cruel and strictly ordered the troops to destroy the traffic line of the Beiyang Army regardless of everything. He knew that this army had been fighting with him until now, and he had absolute trust in him. As his sword pointed out, he dared to break through the sea of knives and fire.

Li Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Take the battalion as a unit, disperse the attack. Except for weapons, ammunition and rations, the soldiers are light. The ammunition consumption is not much. Each person carries 50 bullets, 10 grenades, and two machine guns with 2,000 rounds. It is enough to bring enough rations for 3 days. If it is eaten sparingly, it can be used for 6 days. Horse food must be brought for six days, and people can't be hungry. The operation should be hidden and the attack should be decisive. On the road, the Beiyang Army was found to search for and guard troops, and they all bypassed. As for the battle location, there is no regulation and is disposed of by the battalion commander's camera, focusing on the enemy's heavy troops and supplies. After getting it, the one that can be dragged away will be dragged away, and all the one that can't be dragged away will be burned. If there are few casualties and there is more ammunition, you can choose to fight again, but avoid fighting twice near the same location. Remember, this attack focuses on maneuvering and surprise attacks.

Li Xiang ordered his troops to immediately launch a crazy attack on the traffic arteries from Xiaogan to Xinyang, cutting off the supplies of the Beiyang Army in order to achieve the purpose of forcing the Beiyang Army to retreat. While Lixiang was taking action, Wuchang showed a new change.

After the Beiyang army captured Hankou, the war situation in Hubei tended to ease, and Yuan Shikai was stepping up his great plan to steal the country. Li wanted to predict this situation, but he couldn't predict that Wuchang Group signed a shameful alliance under the city on AIDS Day in the future world tonight.

The fall of Hankou, which shocked Wuchang, was an unspeakable heavy hit. There is only one lonely city left in Wuchang, and the Guishan Fort bombed Wuchang at will. Under the pressure of Feng Guozhang, the Wuchang military government did not have much time and energy to seriously analyze the favorable situation in the whole country and Wuhan. Even if Feng Xiaoyu analyzed it, under the influence of Feng Guozhang's cannon, few people believed that the provinces The uprising and independence have developed in a direction conducive to the revolution. Although Hanyang was lost, the navy was still in the hands of the civilian army and could fight back against the Qing army. They also didn't see Yuan Shikai's conspiracy to steal the country and the trap of "harmony talks". Or I saw it, and I also put on the idea that there must be a way in front of the mountain. After getting through this crisis first, Hanyang fell into panic and compromised with Yuan Shikai.

Li Xiang didn't know that Wuchang Group had signed the alliance under the city. After the hesitation of war was removed, his confidence seemed to be very high. He was cursing and said, "Grandma's bear, Yuan Shikai wants to steal the country. I let him steal chickens and rice! He doesn't want to hit Wuchang, but I want to hit him. Without the Beiyang army with logistical supplies, what else can I do to fight? What to eat? At that time, don't be obedient and get out of Hubei! If I want to make a truce and peace, I will not stop fighting.
