ideal era

175 Where is the paradise

Dabie Mountain is undulating, and the high-level mountain fog and steam surrounds it, like a fairyland hiding in the clouds. It's just this chaotic world, where can there be a fairyland, where can there be a happy land? Who knows what kind of catastrophe is buried behind the peace at this moment?

At six o'clock in the morning, when the fog in Dabie Mountain was thickest, there was a Beiyang army from Xinyang to reinforce. Along the winding mountain road, it crossed the towering Dabie Mountain and opened towards Wusheng Pass, the gateway to the north of Hubei.

The tranquility of the fairyland in the clouds was shattered by the soldiers.

The Li Xiping Division, which was ambushed in Gaojiachong, north of Wusheng Pass, had already been impatient. Li Xiping put Liu Jingtuan in the middle and was responsible for attacking the enemy from the front; Liu Yuan and Zhang Ren were placed on the left and right wings, waiting for the battle to start, responsible for attacking the enemy from the two wings.

In the morning, the thick fog in the mountain rolled more and more densely, blocking everyone's sight. But in the sound of thousands of people marching from the mountains, from far to near, you can feel that the large troops of the Beiyang Army are coming this way.

A soldier put his ear to the ground and couldn't help shouting happily, "I heard it! I heard it! Damn, the enemy has finally come to the door!"

"Teacher's seat! You see, that's the place that this Beiyang army must go through. Liu Jing, who was hiding in the grass, pointed not far away and said to Li Xiping lying beside him, "Fuck, at least one association, let them meet the Beiyang dog of Wushengguan, that's okay!"

Li Xiping took a closer look. The horse's hoofs sounded in front of him, and the horse camp rushed to the front; the horse man in the back shouted, followed by a cannon camp. Seeing this, Li Xiping couldn't help swearing from the revolutionary army: "Fuck, it's still a mixed association."

Liu Yuan counted a little. There were a total of 16 mountain guns, and the standard equipment of a mixed association in Beiyang: "From the current situation, what we caught is the big tail of the Beiyang dog."

"Do it, master, do it." Zhang Yuan, who was beside him, bit the grass root in his mouth and said.

"Do it, let's get rid of him." Li Xiping hummed and said, staring at the difficult Beiyang Artillery Camp, his eyes were green, and he said fiercely like a hungry wolf. These are all good cannons. We lack this now. I want it all.

Everyone showed a hungry wolf-like look and looked at a cannon and salivated. Especially those soldiers, who have long been obsessed with the Krup of the North Army, know very well the strength of the queen of the battlefield, and a Kruper is sometimes enough to change a war. The equipment of the Beiyang Army has reached the current world's top level, which really makes them jealous.

"Lao Liu, you are responsible for attacking the enemy head-on." Li Xiping waved to Liu Jing, "Let's plan."

"Yes!" Liu Jing, who was lying on the edge of the grass and staring at Ke Lubo's drooling, slightly retracted his head and nodded excitedly.

Li Xiping looked at his obscene appearance. He couldn't help curling at the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, Lao Zhang, Xiao Liu, you attack from the flank of the edge, and the others keep their current position. Come on, both of you."

This must-see place is actually a small empty valley overgrown with weeds and streams in the mountains. Probably before, it was an abandoned farmland or something. It flowed down from the ladder-shaped paddy fields on the mountain. The fields were full of withered yellow straw handle. The farmers who planted the land probably disappeared for a long time. There was no rapeseed that was popular in Hubei in winter, and all the terraced fields were abandoned.

Since Wuchang's righteousness, the battle between the Hubei Revolutionary Army and the Qing court has been around three towns in Wuhan. Although the whole Hubei revolution, the war is only in the south of Hubei, but with the contradiction between the rear of the Beiyang Army and the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army becoming more and more acute, Hubei becomes more and more tense with the situation, and the north of Hubei is more and more able to smell the smell of war. It is estimated that people with a little money, especially these homes in northern Hubei, have long fled. Moreover, it has been more than three months since the sound of Wuchang's gunfire. The two cities were destroyed by the war and turned into scorched earth ruins, let alone other places. In addition, the Beiyang Army's failure in Hubei Province, Li Xiping's army drove here and saw that the fertile fields were full of weeds, the village was abandoned, and the exiles were in disaster, looking like an extremely dilapidated.

The Dabie Mountain area is rich in water, and the abundant water is gathered in the Jianghan Plain. Therefore, Hubei has become the country of thousands of lakes and dreams. Originally, it was a rich hometown of fish and rice. Min Yanyun: The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full! Zeng Guofan used Huguang as a logistics base to calm down the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Huguang is rich and can be seen from this, but a war can destroy this.

Li Xiping waited for the Beiyang army to enter the best attack point. He panicked slightly and looked at the depression brought about by the war, and couldn't stand Wen Qing.

"Yes, it's the 75mm Krper Mountain cannon called the dog." A soldier couldn't help whispering excitedly. He was obviously very good at the artillery of the Beiyang Army, and it could be seen from the carriage dragging the artillery of the previous Beiyang dogs.

"This bird cannon is not too far away," the old monitor despised the artillery of the Beiyang Army and put on a dismissing look. In fact, he was very happy, but he said, "Although it is also made in Germany, it is not like the treasure of our artillery, the 14-caliber back barrel retreat mountain cannon of the German cannon, and There is a 150mm field heavy howitzer. Good boy, that thing is a real cannon, which can hit nearly 30 miles in one breath. On Turtle Mountain, you can cross the Yangtze River and enter Wuchang City.

He looked at the admired eyes of the soldiers and showed off his limited professional knowledge of cannons more proudly: "That kind of cannon, oh, even ten mules can't run. The foreigners call it a fortress cannon. There are twenty-four cannons in the Guishan Fortress in Hanyang. Tut, the five countries that hit the foreign devils at the beginning. When the United Fleet was in the United Fleet, it was called a happy, and the foreign devils who beat the dogs were all buried and fed the bastards of the Ejiang River..."

"Brother, I was forced to beat Guzi at home by my old mother, otherwise I could beat a few foreign devils, which would be happy!"

"Yes, yes, beating foreign devils is more majestic and happy than beating Beiyang dogs. If you say that the glorious deeds of beating foreign devils go back to your hometown, the big girls in Shixiang and Bali will all be posted upside down.

"Look at your head, which is full of crooked thoughts." One laughed and scolded, and then spread his face to please the old monitor, "Old monitor, how do you know so much?"

"Hey, didn't we win the battle last time? Aren't the reporters from Xinhua News Agency also here to interview? The division was happy and asked the newspaper to send a copy to the army. The old monitor smiled and whispered, "Grandma's, the newspaper specializes in the cannon column, and there are all kinds of photos of cannons, and there are detailed explanations below. Haven't you seen it?"

"It's uneducated, it's terrible!" The old monitor cleaned up and shook his head repeatedly, saying the most popular words of the revolutionary army, and made fun of these new recruits. You should go to night school seriously, be more literate, learn more about culture, and learn to read newspapers yourself. In newspapers, you can also learn some knowledge by yourself. In the future, the world will be peaceful, republican and democratic. Let's put down the robbery, and we can also do our duty and do our best for the country.

Li Xiping knew what the old monitor was talking about the newspaper. This is not a few days ago, General Li launched the attack on the Jinghan Railway. Li Xiping was ordered to push forward and fight against Wushengguan. Under the command of Lin Tiechang, he tore open a gap in the Beiyang army's defense line at night, and immediately launched a comprehensive attack, recovered and occupied Lidian; Marshal Li fought in person, occupied Huaxi, and surrounded Xiaochang... The next morning, Xinhua News Agency reporters rushed to various battlefields to make live reports.

The next day, the People's Daily, which was famous in Shanghai, Hankou, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, which was famous for its tracking reports and shelling foreigners, immediately reported that Li Shuai recovered the battle to break through the Beijing-Han railway line, and even issued a good news to the people in advance. The check, exaggerated with a nose and right eye, is also accompanied by the photo of Marshal Li Xiang, which is full of gunpowder smoke, full of violence, full of blood, full of blood, full of masculinity, full of impressionist style, and blurred face. Li Shuai and his revolutionary army were once again famous in the Second World War in Hubei. The People's Daily is also famous all over the world again.

Teacher Li Xiping also took this opportunity to boost the morale of the whole teacher. He asked the Xinhua News Agency's reporters to print the newspaper and then bring them a copy. Li Xiping scattered it to the companies and platoons, so that everyone can see how the news of the People's Daily reported on the Hubei Revolutionary Army in the first volume of every Chinese hot-blooded youth case. .

Many brothers are illiterate. On this day, those literate soldiers and veterans are almost dragged to this class and platoon to read the news.

When I heard that the People's Daily is the best-selling newspaper in the five major cities, there is a volume on almost all of China's hot-blooded youth desks. The articles have even been reprinted by the famous roadside societies of foreigners. Even Mr. Sun Yat-sen, a well-deserved leader of the revolution far away overseas, will see it. That's a surge.

Many brothers are excited to think that this battle is a victory. Not only did the officers know it, but also Li Shuai knows it. Mr. Sun Yat-sen knows it. Almost all the people in Hubei know it. Even all Chinese people know that there is a Hubei revolutionary army that fights in the Beiyang, bleed and sacrifices on the battlefield and carry out the revolution. In the end! In this way, the soldiers beat Beiyang dogs, and the enthusiasm for the revolution was even more, almost crazy.

Even Li Xiang had to admire after knowing it later. Li Xiping's hand was really beautiful, which not only boosted the morale of the soldiers, but also let the soldiers know who they were fighting for. Not to get promoted, not to get rich, but to protect your brothers and sisters, 20 to carry out the revolution to the end!

"Well, let's do it like this?" Li Xiping roughly said the deployment task and asked, "Lao Liu, Xiao Liu, Lao Zhang, do you have any comments?"

Although Liu Jing, like the old squad leader, doesn't like the small mountain cannon of the Beiyang Army, it is only 75mm caliber, and it can't be far away. But you should know that this thing is pitifully small for the revolutionary army at this time. A mixed artillery battalion of the Beiyang Army can have 16 75mm mountain cannons, which is a powerful configuration only available in Germany in the world. And what about the current revolutionary army? A division can even count the number of small cannons and Maxim machine guns by breaking his fingers.

"Do it, fuck, all the sixteen mountain cannons are snatched." Liu Jing pooh spit out the grass roots in his mouth.

Little Liu and Liu Yuan echoed viciously, "Turn the muzzle, and I can take down Wu Shengguan in one breath!" Damn it, damn Beiyang dog."

"Dog said, let's see how long you are rampant." Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

At this time, Li Xiping noticed a Beiyang officer standing in the advancing team of the Beiyang Army, holding a saber and holding a telescope and looking around.

"Well, let's fight, just be careful not to hit those sixteen mountain cannons." Old Liu Liu Jing said that what he cared most about was the sixteen cannons.

Li Xiping looked at the behavior of the Beiyang officer and immediately made a forbidden gesture.

At this time, the Beiyang army had already marched to the valley. When it was only about 100 meters away from the ambush they designed, it suddenly stopped. The Beiyang army heard the quiet direction of Gao Jiachong and hesitated not to drive forward.

Just now, the Beiyang officer gathered several officers-like Beiyang army and got off the horse and muttered for a while, as if he was discussing something.

Li Xiping and all the revolutionary soldiers in ambush were extremely nervous, afraid that the ducks that were about to arrive would fly again.

The Beiyang army muttered for a while, and finally continued to drive in the direction of the Gao family.

Up to now, I don't know what prompted the Beiyang Army to move forward. In short, they made a mistake that they had no chance to correct.

Li Xiping roared: "Fight!"

All the light and heavy firearms of the Revolutionary Army opened fire at this moment.

The surprise attack of the revolutionary army is like a flood that bursts the dike. The overwhelming water is pouring down, and the fields are covered with the figures of the revolutionary army soldiers with bayonets and shouting.

The Beiyang Army and other counterattacks were also quick and orderly, and were immediately organized under the scolding of the officers and others.

On the position of the Beiyang Army's hastily organized, the 16 mountain cannons immediately roared when they bombarded, and it was a hot scene. The Beiyang dog artillery, wearing a combat cap, was busy around several guns. With the opening of the sludle, with a bang, the yellow cannon shell retreated from the hot gun with a heat wave. The steaming ammunition hand quickly pushed a new cannonball into the gun room where the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated. The gunner next to him rushed forward, shot the medicine bag on the top, and closed the gun bar.

In the shout of the artillery commander, he pulled the rope, and another hot cannonball roared out, and the wooden chariot of the cannon suddenly retreated, and the gun body trembled slightly in a wave of feathers.

The Beiyang officer looked at the battlefield in front of him, although the continuous roaring shells blew up blood fog one after another in the crowd. It seems that they have never known what death is, and even their brave dedication is far more terrible than the Beiyang soldiers who prayed to Yuan Shikai's Changsheng tablet sooner or later. Because he never thought that Qiu Ba would be so fierce and not afraid of death.

Under the firepower of the Krupp cannon commanded by the Beiyang officer and the Mark Qin mechanism, these charging revolutionary soldiers fell one after another, but they rushed up one after another, as if they were going to fill the valley with their corpses.

The Beiyang officer felt that his hand holding the saber seemed to tremble.

The current situation is very unfavorable to him. The adjutant has reported several times in a row, and there has been a brutal battle on both sides. The revolutionary army soldiers who broke into the position were engaged in extremely cruel swordsmanship with the Beiyang army soldiers.

On the far front, Li Xiping in the division also held a telescope. In the fireworks, his soldiers were attacking the enemy again and again. The artillery response of the Beiyang Army was too fast, covering them piece by piece, burying teams of revolutionary army soldiers charging in the fire, and more The soldiers were knocked down by the fierce machine gun fire.

Li Xiping felt that his eyes were a little dry. These soldiers were so young, but for the sake of national righteousness, they carried out the revolution to the end. Even many of their recruits did not understand what the national righteousness meant or what it meant to carry out the revolution. They just didn't allow it. His home was given ** by the Beiyang dog, his sister was ruined by the Beiyang dog, and his brother was killed by the Beiyang dog, so he rushed to the net of death woven by fire and steel without hesitation.

When he watched his soldiers fall in groups on the land that had been soaked with too much blood for a long time, Li Xiping felt a sore nose.

With a sad scream, a cannonball exploded not far away, and the surging waves lifted out Li Xiping's military cap standing on the surface. However, the burly general still stood there motionless, holding a telescope.

"Master's seat, it's dangerous there." A staff officer rushed forward and tried to pull Li Xiping out of the smoke.

However, Li Xiping remained motionless, and just waved his hand gently to make the staff retreat. It has always been the tradition of this army to command on the front line, and he is not afraid at all because of this!

On the battlefield, there was a frenzied battle, and the soldiers on both sides killed in the dark. The two regiments led by Zhang Ren and Liu Yuan attacked desperately squeezing the Beiyang army's defense line, and the two wings were already as messy as a pot of boiling water.

And a regiment led by Liu Jing was also rushing towards the front position of the Beiyang Army at this time, and the two sides were fighting in chaos.

Machine guns and bayonets were all used, and the howls of the dying, the desperate screams, and the explosions became a sound. He rushed around until the bullets knocked down the enemy and his own people indiscriminately. In the chaotic battle, the rescuers could not come forward to rescue the injured at all, and the explosions of grenades and grenades came one after another.
