139 beacon smoke rises again
At the beginning of the dawn, the rolling hills and mountains ahead spread to the sky, bathed in the faint morning light. The sun was warm and smoky. The fog steamed between the mountains and rivers, getting thicker and thicker. The hidden mountain mausoleums were covered with a layer of golden light, like a scales and half claws of a real dragon churning in the clouds.
On a hill, Li Xiang stood with the Western command knife with both hands, standing in the wind and looking north.
At this time, the northern country should be full of wind and snow. The winter in Hubei is much later than that in the north. Although it is October of the lunar calendar and the Western calendar is already December, I still feel that the wind is cold and has not snowed. It is just like a song and three sighs in Xiao Du's poem: "The grass and trees in the south of the Yangtze River are withered at the end of autumn." It is also like the broken mountains and rivers in the late Tang Dynasty.
Seeing the boundless bleak scenery around, Hubei, which has been devastated by the flames of war, is full of ruins and scorched earth, lying in the wild, hungry roads, full of desolate eyes, and lost the prosperity of the past. He recalled the absolved Xinhai Revolution in history, and there was always a depression in his heart that could not be relieved. Since you have come to this era in a muddle, you can't still drift away with the tide. With so much effort, you can always change history, right?
He is still struggling to survive here and stubbornly wants to tamper history, and the grand plan of stealing the country hosted by Yuan Shikai in Beijing is pressing step by step. Sun Yat-sen may have just finished the ridiculous negotiations between Europe and the United States, and the journey back to China is drifting on the Indian Ocean. All parties in the south have fulfilled their obligations and strive for power first...< /P>
"Handi-in-chief!" Zeng raised his voice to interrupt Li Xiang's thoughts. He is crawling towards this mound with a pile of paper and feet high and low.
Seeing Zeng Gao stumble up, he turned his head slightly with dissatisfaction and looked at him.
This eye flashed as fierce power as electricity, but it was fleeting.
The spirit of the eighth king? Zeng Gao looked up at Li Xiang and just caught the moment. His mind was as calm as ever, and his eyes responded faintly. A general of an army, there are three feet of tiger power around him, and it is normal to inadvertently exude a little bastard spirit.
Approaching, he took a long breath, exhaled a long white fog, and then smiled and said, "This is the result of our staff's struggle last night... From the fall of Xiaogan, the staff headquarters has been brewing a plan to carry out a general attack on the traffic line from Xinyang to Xiaogan, to the "Battle Action Order" in my hand now... ...Marshal, we are going to break the boat."
My brain was kicked by a donkey. I don't know the profound delusion to tamper with history, okay? Li wanted to immediately feel a trace of his doubt, but he was powerless to care about it. Not everyone predicted history like him.
He has decided that the history written with blood and tears for the Chinese nation in the future will not be repeated, but to carry out the revolution to the end... Now it is from him. I'm not afraid that the bloody storm in the year of 1911 will come more violently. In the land of Hubei, corpses are everywhere, and the blood flows into rivers. The sins of this wave of the sky are like iron, and he doesn't care about all the shackles on his head. Li thinks that he doesn't want to be an emperor or a great man. He is impatient to care whether the reputation behind him is rotten for thousands of years or immortality.
Li wanted to take over the result of the all-night battle last night at the staff headquarters of the Caotai team from Zeng's master.
As early as the beginning of Hankou, the headquarters issued the Battle Preparation Order. After losing filial piety and Hankou was in danger, he issued the "Reconnotic Key Points and Notes in the Traffic Battle of the Hubei Section of the Beijing-Han Railway", and then issued the "Political Work Instructions for the Traffic Front of the Hubei Section of the Beijing-Han Railway". Now, in Li Xiang's hand is the "Battle Action Order" document prepared by the Staff Headquarters of the Hankou Revolutionary Military Commission, which he established in Hankou, as well as the "General Instructions on Traffic War Destruction Tactics in the Hubei Section of the Beijing-Han Railway" that will be issued at the same time, and the "In order to achieve the traffic battle in the Hubei section of the Beijing-Han Railway" that will be issued at the same time. The road should be broken continuously.
These orders, instructions and notices were all drafted by the General Staff all night last night, just waiting for Li to sign and issue them.
During this period, the mobile staff headquarters accompanying the army issued six combat orders through his signature, and nine various instructions and notifications from the two divisions of Zeng Gao and Li Xiping.
Of course, these are far from all.
The war is about to begin.
Even the most ordinary warriors can feel it. The combat mission is confidential to the soldiers, and the order is only conveyed to the brigade level. The "Battle Preparation Order" clearly requires that "all preparations must not harm the slightest secret" and "burn after reading this telegram". However, last night, the soldiers knew from Li Xiang's demagogic ** speech that a big war was about to begin.
From the alliance and the Wuchang military government for power and profit, to their changing of generals like horse lanterns, to the chaotic and blind command of those with half-trange or ulterior motives, the Hubei Revolutionary Army has been defeated again and again. Every soldier is not depressed and indignant about such an ending.
They can imagine the arduous difficulty of this battle from today's embarrassment. But it will never prevent them from following Li Xiang's footsteps. It is by no means a momentary passion encouraged by his clever words, but a noble sense of national responsibility in their bodies. The Chinese bloodline that has not yet cooled in their bodies fights for the revolution to the end and for the future of the nation. ( There is no doubt that thanks to Zhang Zhidong, the Hubei New Army had the highest cultural penetration rate in China at that time. It is not a fluke that they can achieve the legend of 1911.)
Li Xiang put all his thoughts on the manuscript in his hand and didn't have time to pay attention to Zeng Gao.
Although Zeng Gao does not have a clear understanding of the trend of history as Li Xiang, his outstanding talent can always give a clue. On this indescribable mysterious and strange young man, he is a little careless and pretends to be cool and handsome, and occasionally exudes the spirit of a bastard, and it is more mysterious and unpredictable that has been lingering on him... It's all like this. Looking at his serious appearance at this moment, he was betting on the future of his hard work over the years. At this time, he understood where the spirit of this revolutionary army came from!
Why would he be moved by him on the Chuwangtai in Wuchang? At that time, like Li Xiping, he hated the smoky air in the consultation bureau. Previously, there were doubts about Li Xiang's motives, but it will never happen again.
But if you do good things, don't ask about the future. Li wants to do it like this all the time, slowly condensing the hearts of the army and the people.
For a long time, Li Xiang glanced at the silent Zeng Gao, lowered his head and continued to look, and said without raising his head, "Is there anything to add?"
Zeng Gao took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "That's it... The situation and tasks of the Campaign Mobilization Order: Due to the change of the national revolutionary situation, after the loss of Hankou, the revolutionary regime in Wuchang has been in danger. The oppression of Beiyang and the shouts of foreigners are the Wuchang Military Government and Hankou Beiyang last night. The news that Feng Guozhang signed the alliance under the city. It seems that the danger of surrender of some gentry and revolutionaries is also more serious. Our army should carry out a more victorious battle on the battlefield of Hubei with active actions, destroy the conspiracy of Beiyang's attack to coerce the south, create significant achievements, affect the revolutionary situation in the country, excite the revolutionary army and the people, and strive for a good situation. It is a serious political task at present to carry out the revolution to the end. In addition, based on several major traffic roads, Beiyang continues to expand the occupied areas in the interior of Hubei, increase the number of strongholds, blockade and cut off our various revolutionary bases, especially for the realization of its traffic cages in the north of Hanyang Prefecture. This situation is becoming increasingly serious. According to the intelligence of all parties, Beiyang Yuan Shikai raised the enemy and valued himself. He tried to steal the country through the north-south peace, and there were also front coaches Feng and Duan Shihe (they also planned to provoke a little in the middle last night). In order to combat Yuan Shikai's conspiracy to steal the country, break the situation of peace between the north and the south, and strive for a more favorable development of the national revolutionary war, it is decided to take advantage of the current winter season. The weather has greatly hindered the long supply line of Beiyang to go deep into Hubei. Beiyang supply will be a difficult opportunity to break through Jinghan Road..."
The mobilization ordered him to memorize it well.
Li Xiang hummed and interrupted him, "Break it with a big blow... If you don't make it bigger, how can you wake up those confused immortals? Yuan Shikai's heart is well known to passers-by. The authorities are all being confused immortals. If they can be confused, they can be confused. Can the revolution also be vague? Can this country and the nation be so confused? Can the Xinhai Revolution, which is piled up with infinite money and blood, be so confused?
With that, he snorted fiercely and stuffed all the documents to Zeng Gao. He raised his head. His eyes were actually more fierce than the previous glance: "Our nation has been suppressed by the barbaric Manchu people in the north for more than 260 years, and the brilliant civilization that once led the world was also suppressed. It stopped, and even retreated. Today's scourge of division. No matter how united our nation is, no matter how vibrious it is, no matter how revolutionary it is, the subjugation of the country is just around the corner! How can the hard-won trend of the revolution in 1911 have a beginning and no end? How many people are gathered together because of the ideal of revitalizing the nation. With this power, are they afraid that they can't turn the world around and rewrite history?!" Li took a deep breath and recalled the history of blood and tears of the modern Chinese nation. Finally, he said softly, "It's not in vain for me to come to this era by selling my life for the cause of our nation."
Zeng Gaoxin was moved and looked up and said, "Grand Marshal..."
Li Xiang immediately withdrew his inexplicable emotion, stared at him fiercely, and said, "What are you doing? I've heard that you are a staff rice worm, and you are very lazy. It's okay to be your shopkeeper at ordinary times. As leaders, we don't have to do everything personally. Just grasp the direction and make a decision. But you didn't see that the military affairs are in a hurry now, and I don't have time to see it. Don't you know how to read it to me?"
Zeng Gao greeted his fierce eyes and returned to him with a white eye. Just now, he was still in Dayi Lingran. In a blink of an eye, he began to play with treasures again, but it loosened the dull atmosphere just now. In this way, on the mound, the pillar sword stands in the wind, and there is also a little Confucian general ancient style of talking and laughing, but the content is a little nonsensical.
In front of the boss, Zeng Gao didn't want to act too much like a rice worm. He could only lower his head to read and said, "Order... The organization of the battle, the purpose of the campaign is to completely destroy several passes of the Jinghan Line, eliminate some enemies, recover a number of important scenic spots, cut off the traffic of the line for a long time, and take advantage of the victory to expand it. In addition to several strongholds in the north and south of the line, the work along both sides of the road is basically for the purpose of cutting off the traffic of the line. The basic destruction area is Wushengguan, Xiaogan, etc., but for other important Taoist lines, especially Dawu and Xiaochang, a planned general attack should be organized at the same time to cooperate with the success of the Jinghan Railway Battle. ... The composition of the battle force, the total number of troops directly participating in the battle of the Jinghan line should be no less than 22 regiments. All ten regiments of the Li Xiping Division, all ten regiments of the Zenggao Division, four to six newly formed militia regiments in the local area, most of the artillery, one engineer, one cavalry, and the strength to cooperate with the railway line in other locations are determined by the rural militia regiments in each region. The duties of each dispatched troops shall be arranged by each region. October 15 is the start date of the battle. ............The campaign deployment will be sued separately. ............ The battle is ready to complete the following preparations before October 14th. The reconnaissance of the section north of Xiaogan to Xiaochang is the responsibility of the Li Xiping Division, the section from Dawu to Wushengguan is the responsibility of the Zeng Gao Division, and the responsibility of the headquarters is responsible for the Xiaochang to Dawu. The reconnaissance focus is different, but the reconnaissance is the responsibility of the Central Unification Army. ............Food preparation: Each dispatched force shall prepare food for one month from the date of departure. Preparation of road-breaking and blasting equipment... The mobilization and recuperation of dispatched troops... The preparation of the Beiyang Army and the people in the enemy-occupied area to meet the door and other work (multi-made leaflets and slogans)... The original preparation for local work was to mobilize a large number of local work cadres to implement various policies and working methods in the enemy-occupied area. Wait for the training... The political guarantee plan for the campaign will be announced separately. Keep secrets strictly before the battle is launched, and until the preparations are completed, the intention of the battle is only allowed to be informed to the brigade commander. Lixiang, October 13th, the year of 1911, in the morning
Zeng Gao finished reading.
Li Xiang waved his hand with a great temperament: "Okay! That's it! ............Power generation!"
Zeng Gao's heart is half hot and cold. How heavy such a decision is. Is this the mission of history? Whether it is right or evil, the war is the most innocent to bear the disaster brought by it. Zeng Gao thought a little Wenqing, thinking that his heart is really not suitable for a soldier. Since Wuchang's righteousness, he has struggled all the way and paved the way with blood. This is the revolution! Thinking of the struggle for power and profit in Wuchang City, he may have forgotten the original intention of the revolution, and there is anger and helplessness in his heart. Fortunately, there is another person in front of him who has been insisting on the ideal they shouted when they did justice, which is also worth following.
Li Xiang turned his head and looked at the silent Zeng Gao and said in a low voice, "If you have an opinion, just mention it. Don't be stuffed in your heart. Am I a dictator? There is only you and me here, and there is nothing to avoid... The focus of the recent struggle with Beiyang is on the traffic line. It is urgent to launch a break-in attack on the enemy's traffic line. You should also help to think about the next action!"
Zeng Gao's heart was extremely clear at this time, and he no longer thought about it. He slowly said, "Since Beiyang went south, it has been relying on the expansion of the Beijing-Han Railway to seize Dawu, Xiaochang, Xiaogan, Hankou and other railway traffic trunk lines. At the same time, the Beiyang Army has also actively increased its strongholds and soldiers on the basis of the former military stations on both sides of the Jinghan Line. Stations and post roads strictly control the traffic of the Beijing-Han line, with the delusion of controlling Hubei to suppress Wuchang and the independent provinces in the south. The Beiyang Army is now stepping up the repair of roads and digging trenches on both sides of the Jinghan Railway... The plan for the campaign deployment is in the headquarters..."
Li Xiang took a deep breath of cold air in the morning sun. The smoke and clouds dissipated in the sun and shouted, "Come with me!" I want to see what gifts you have prepared for the Beiyang Army. With that, he took the lead in rushing down this mound.
He looked north, as if he saw the wind and clouds surging darkly. He turned around and followed Li Xiang downhill.
Under the bright sun, the smoke is rising in the valley under the mound, and the fragrance of rice floats from the big pot set up on the earth stove. It's about time to start dinner. It's time to go down.
In the headquarters tent, everyone held a bowl of rice in their hands and discussed enthusiastically around a table.
There is a map on the table. The most eye-catching on the map are thick black lines and thin lines. The thick line represents the railway, connecting the north and the south, and the thin line represents the ancient post road of the landing road. The thick line and the thin line are dense, and the warp and weft are connected, like a huge net covering the map. On military maps, the traffic network occupies a very important position and is often marked with eye-catching black. Now the huge net woven by these eye-catching black lines seems to be waiting for the prey, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Because Li Xiang's revolutionary army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, he avoided the actual attack and unexpectedly attacked the soft abdomen of the Beiyang army. The softness of the Beiyang Army is the traffic line. No matter how many troops go deep into the enemy's territory, it is an unwise move, but when the enemy is vulnerable, it can take advantage of it and collect the flying soldiers. In the original history, the Beiyang Army has succeeded. Since Li Wei is here, he naturally won't make him so proud.
Almost everyone present can see that the Jinghan traffic line is the lifeblood of the Beiyang Army. The upcoming struggle around the Beijing-Han traffic behind the enemy in Hubei is destined to constitute a main theme of the Hubei revolution and even the national revolution.
Li wanted to put down the bowl and chopsticks and touched his mouth casually. The handkerchief handed over by Tang Yuewan froze halfway and was speechless.
Li Xiang stared intently at the map and said, "What is the combat mission of our headquarters?"
Zeng Gao said next to him: "Of course, the headquarters has to shoulder the most difficult task... In order to carry out the work in central Hubei, gather the main forces controlled by the headquarters to destroy the traffic between Dawu and Xiaochang and seize the two cities, mainly Xiaochang, which is the closest to Xiaogan. Of course, the Li Xiping Division, which is active on the east side, will actively cooperate with the headquarters in Xiaochang with powerful troops.
Li thought about it, "It's difficult enough. At the same time, he attacked Dawu and Xiaochang at two points. The strength was not enough. He decided to first use the main force in the direction of Xiaochang, seize Xiaochang County, pull out the nearby strongholds, and then shift the offensive to the Dawu area. The camera captures Dawu County and nearby strongholds, and completely cut off the traffic in Beijing and Han, at least For the time being, we will also cut off the traffic in Beijing and Han. The traffic in Jinghan is cut off. In this icy and snow, the Beiyang army has to withdraw even if they don't want to withdraw from Hubei.
At this time, Li Xiang was already a decisive revolutionary army commander-in-chief. He was murderous, and every word he said had a golden voice.
He turned around and ordered: "Song Que, gather the revolutionary army. I personally commanded the right-wing troops composed of the directly subordinate reserve regiment and the main force of the cavalry regiment, the headquarters guard special battalion, the guerrilla detachment in the Anlu area, the sub-district engineering company, etc., and attacked the Xiaochang area. I'm going to Huaxi tonight. First, take back this important stronghold on the west side of Xiaochang Station, and let Duan Qirui of the Beiyang Army also taste the real power of our revolutionary army!"
The generals will make a promise.
Tang Yuewan's round female voice suddenly sounded: "I'll go too!"
Li Xiang looked at her coldly and said, "No! If you go, it will only cause us trouble.
Li Xiang didn't give her a chance to bargain. After saying that, he turned around and left. There should not be women in the bloody battlefield............
There was a dull assembly call in the valley. Li wants the revolutionary army to start the counterattack of the revolution to the end!
(It's the National Day, ccav1 is releasing the Xinhai Revolution. I'm very powerless. It's better to watch the steps of Mango Channel... No nonsense, update it when you are free, code words... I wish you all a good time on the National Day!)
