ideal era

The theory of winning or losing 195

The dawn of the eastern sky first came to the bustling Shanghai, then appeared in the icy and snowy Beijing, and finally came to the besieged Huangcun mountain area of the Beiyang army.

The clouds and fog all over the sky became so colorful under the rising red sun. As the fiery sun rose from the east, the attack of the Beiyang Army also began.

The artillery of the Beiyang Army Mountain Artillery began a fierce shelling. The smoke permeated, the earth trembled, and the thick smoke wrapped the whole Huangcun mountain front in it, and the whole battlefield suddenly turned into a erupting volcano. With the coordination of steps and cannons, the Ninth Road Army of the Beiyang Army began the final attack.

Xu Shuzheng quietly looked at the front where he couldn't see anything clearly. The sound of killing shocked the sky, the bayonet was bright, and under the morning sun, it was full of gusts of murder. There was a smile at the corners of his mouth, and he was complatic. Today's collection of the net, we must capture the madman Li alive and offer his captive to Beijing...

Xu Shuzheng turned around and saw a group of uneasy senior officers, including Sun Chuanfang. For a whole day yesterday, the Ninth Route Army was unable to take a step forward, which must be said to be a disgrace to the Beiyang Army. So far, on Sun Chuanfang's Wang Jin's southwest front line, the Beiyang army has paid no less losses than the unlucky Li madman, and the precious cavalry is even more broken on that battlefield. Who is not afraid of being glanced at by Xu Shuzheng like this?

The hundreds of cannons of the Beiyang Army roared, and the land of Huangcun shook and the fire soared to the sky. Under the cover of the fierce shelling, groups of Beiyang soldiers rushed up in groups under the pressure of the officers, and the scattered infantry impact group looked like a line point spilled out by a touch of yellow paint, breaking through the heavy fog.

The sound of dense explosions came one after another, and fireballs rose to the sky one after another. The earth was shaking and trembling with the fierce explosion. Even the heat in the air became more hot because of the steel and flying flesh and blood. It was hot, almost as if it was about to burn.

The Beiyang Army was full of spirit and majestically rolled up the offensive waves.

The Beiyang Army was not only full of ambition, but also carefully surrounded, and launched a charge from all the hills of Huangcun in all directions. They rushed to the top of the mountain. All the Beiyang troops rushed into Huangcun and found that Huangcun was empty, but there was no trace of the Li Madman Revolutionary Army at all. For a moment, they were full of suspicion and exclaimed, "Revolution The army has soared to the sky!

The fog slowly dissipated, and the red winter sun spread lazily, and Xu Shuzheng felt extremely comfortable. Today's attack of the Beiyang Army was surprisingly smooth...

Xu Shuzheng watched proudly as the Beiyang army occupied the hills and positions one by one, and inserted directly into Huangcun. His adjutant rushed over like a chicken in a sweat, picked up a field contact document from the front line, and said, "It was just handed in by the vanguard troops stationed in Huangcun..."

"Okay, I, Beiyang Jianer, must have captured the madman Li alive!" Xu Shuzheng opened the seal and smiled, "I first tied up the madman Li to settle in Hankou, shocked the bandit gangsters, destroyed their arrogance, took over the Huguang military and politics, and then offered a prisoner to the capital, and also got a Real Madrid to wear--" Speaking of this, he stopped abruptly, as if he didn't believe his eyes and rubbed his hand holding the letter. It trembled gently. He retreated to the marching chair and sat down with soft legs.

The Beiyang Army Command immediately calmed down and only listened to the empty snatching sound of Hilara outside. After a long time, Sun Chuanfang finally couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency, this..."

"The madman Li broke through last night, and there was no trace of a bandit party in the empty mountainous area of Huangcun." Xu Shuzheng said with a difficult time, "I took advantage of the loss of my cavalry, the alert was empty, and with more than 10,000 people, I stole from the bottom of our eyelids without any sense!" I don't know whether he was frightened or angry. His voice trembled violently. He gritted his teeth and smiled fiercely and said, "Okay... Run away... Run!"

Xu Shuzheng reported that the painstaking efforts of the iron wall encirclement turned into a bubble. In any case, he couldn't believe it. He personally rushed to the position of Huangcun to inspect it. In the face of this teasing ending, he had to admit the bankruptcy of the encirclement plan. Xu Shuzheng was puzzled and had an incomparable sense of loss.

Several Beiyang generals seemed to have been hit by a stuffy stick. They were stunned for a moment, their heads buzzed, and their hearts couldn't help jumping wildly. In fact, the hearts of the generals are bright. After the Beiyang Army suffered a devastating blow to the traffic of the Beijing-Han Railway, it is actually a weak empty shell. This time, it can't eliminate the strong enemy, the crazy maniac, in one breath. How to deal with this big change that is close at hand?

"Your Excellency, if you are humble, things may not be bad!" Sun Chuanfang suddenly said.

"Tell me...Tell me!" Xu Shuzheng, who lost his soul, was in a mess at this time.

"Although the chaos of the madman Li seems to be turbulent, it is a disease of scabies to Beiyang and Lord Yuan. At present, the Hubei war situation is stalemate, which will not affect the peace between the north and the south..." Sun Chuanfang's calmness surprised everyone, and his understanding was surprisingly similar to that of Yang Shiqi.

"Bullshit! Are you just asking me to listen to your empty words?" Xu Shuzheng was furious. At this time, he was upset, and his reaction was surprisingly similar to Yuan Shikai's.

Sun Chuanfang was not afraid and said loudly, "Let the students finish. Feng Juntong and the madman Li are red-eyed in Hubei. Now we are also red-eyed with the madman Li. The students think that they have ignored the object of our peace, not the madman Li!"

"Hmm?" Xu Shuzheng suddenly woke up and figured it out in an instant. Looking at the young and heroic Sun Chuanfang in front of her, who dares to fight, she still has such a calmness and such insight. The most important thing is that she is still so young. The future is really unlimited. He leaned into his body and said, "Continue!"

Sun Chuanfang knew that this was an excellent opportunity to get this Wan think tank. She had broken a halberd once in front of the madman Li. This time, there must be no mistake, so she said carefully, "No matter how crazy Li can fight, it can't represent the Southern People's Party. We have nothing to talk about with him. It can be ignored for a long time. If Duan Juntong is really unsustainable in Hubei, then why is it okay to withdraw from the north? Now the north and the south want to make peace, and the lonely army is hanging in Hubei. It is a taboo for soldiers, and generals from all walks of life have also complained about this for a long time. Our withdrawal to the north is to show peace. Crazy Li can have the advantage of public opinion in the People's Daily, and we can also spread public opinion through official newspapers. We take the initiative to withdraw our troops, which is a peaceful plan for the country and the DPRK! Huang was bold, and Li was defeated by our Beiyang army. Wuchang withdrew his troops with such an advantage. Who would say that we were afraid of him, Li, the madman?

This is very reasonable. Xu Shuzheng couldn't help nodding and asked, "You make sense, but what should you do now? If we want to withdraw from the north, will Lord Yuan agree? Even if we say it well, Lord Yuan believes that we have not lost, will the world believe that we have not lost?

"No one in the world needs to believe it," Sun Chuanfang's eyes flashed and said with a gloomy smile, "The fierce party struggle of the Southern Democratic Party is doomed to be defeated in this battle..."

Xu Shuzheng was shocked and asked urgently, "What do you say?"

Sun Chuanfang smiled gloomically and said, "The madman Li is too dazzling. The wind and clouds of 1911 rise because of him. Li Yuanhong, Huang Xing, Sun Wu and Jiang Yiwu are all overshadowed by him, or they are gray. In Hankou, the ally's figures, together with the Constitutional Council's figures and Hankou's Chinese businessmen, didn't he get jealous? There is a group of people who are jealous of the madman Li. As long as we officially note the consuls of various countries in Hankou and announce the withdrawal from the current defense zone to show the sincerity of the Beiyang Army in peace talks. These people who are jealous of Li Madman will naturally choose to believe us instead of supporting Li Madman. If the feat of defeating the Beiyang army advocated by the madman Li becomes a fact, how much will the prestige of the madman Li rise? How can those who are jealous of the madman Li still gain a foothold in the provisional government? Driven by this trend, Li Madman will be invincible!"

Xu Shuzheng listened, and his face emitted light. The officialdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty was like this, and there was no room for the first bird. Among the generals of the southern civil army, no one would like this powerful Li madman.

At this point, the Beiyang army besieged the revolutionary army at a huge cost of more than 3,000 casualties, but achieved nothing. The siege of the Ninth Road was completely bankrupt. Xu Shuzheng only ordered the Beiyang Army to withdraw to the original garrison in frustration.

Duan Qirui, Xiaogan base camp of the Beiyang Army, reported to Yuan Shikai: "Although our army cut off the retreat of the bandit army from the west of Xiaochang with its main force, it surrounded the Huangcun area like an iron barrel. However, the bandit army, with a total of more than 10,000 people, suddenly jumped out of our army from the southwest at night, and the results were unexpected..."

Li Xiang cleverly smashed Xu Shuzheng's attempt to encircle and annihilate the revolutionary army. Xu Shuzheng, who has been returning to the Xiaogan camp, is still puzzled. How can the revolutionary army be like a magic soldier? After Li Xiang led the department to break through, he shook hands with Li Xiping and Lin Tiechang, who came to pick him up...

When Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were surprised, puzzled and frustrated by the withdrawal of Li Xiang's revolutionary army, the breakthrough troops of Zhouwu Division held a happy celebration in time in Wuyan Village.

In the east, opposite the Wuyan Village is the famous Huangsorghum Dream Town. At sunrise in the east, you can see the haze between the dangerous eaves of the Huangshameng Temple on the temple steps.

Li Xiang's tired eyes were sunk in, and his thin clothes were tattered like a flower deserter, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"The Huangcun retreat is another miracle created by our revolutionary army and another masterpiece of the revolutionary army on the front battlefield. Its success is no less than the victory of the Beijing-Han Railway. It has once again destroyed the strategic decisive battle of the Beiyang Army, and has preserved its strength for the general battle to carry the revolution to the end, and for the future revolution. The significance of a protracted war and the final victory is immeasurable. The world knows the story of the ambush of the king of Chu, but the world should know the feat of our revolutionary army breaking through the siege of the Beiyang Army in the middle of 1911 AD!"

After listening to Li Xiang shouted loudly, these soldiers whose clothes did not cover their bodies and did not wrap their stomachs boiled in an instant.

"Marshal Li! Marshal Li!" The sound of the mountain sounded like a tsunami.

Li Xiang stood on the high platform like this. Although the military uniform was tattered, it was also neat. He stood straight and saluted the hot-blooded soldiers!

Cheers, the waves are higher than the waves. Last night's breakthrough was a miracle. How could the soldiers not cheer for their commander's magic?

Tens of thousands of people who held the Zhujie Conference cheered for their Marshal Li. Li wants to become the most popular star in the year of 1911!

The miracle created last night. In the subconscious of the soldiers, Li Xiang has simply become a god, not to mention his majesty on the field, always rushing and taking the lead, which makes the warriors who admire the warriors heart.

Even the nine-way siege of the Beiyang Army has failed, and the traffic of the Beijing-Han Railway has been destroyed. Isn't the momentum of the revolutionary army already at its peak?

Li Xiang's eyes, although he was paying tribute to the soldiers from afar. However, Yu Guang's department is all a row of generals behind the soldiers, Li Xiping, Lin Tiechang and others who have not seen for a long time.

Li Xiping and Lin Tiechang did not have any unexpected expressions. Zeng Gao said something with a smile and an excited look. He was leisurely and didn't have a heavy mind at all. In order to meet him, the besieged coach of Huangcun, he ran a long distance and was tired.

This guy is really calm. Does this boy really believe that I can break out of the siege of the Beiyang Army's Ninth Road safely?

These guys trust themselves too much and regard themselves as heroes...

It's really tiring to be a hero, but it's very enjoyable! Lixiang suddenly looked back and shouted, "Chinese people, we are fighting for the liberation of this country!" We fight for the glory of our ancestors! Proudly publicize that we can be proud of our children and grandchildren: We are the Chinese who have never given in! Long live my compatriots, China and the Chinese people! Long live freedom!"

The roar is like thunder. Now Li Xiang is completely an invincible general and the image of a national hero!

The whole audience suddenly boiled.

"Hangt for China and the Chinese people! Long live freedom!"

On the high platform of Zeng Gao's appreciation, Li Xiping and Lin Tiechang looked at each other with joy.

"Huge! Long live!" The neat shouts resounded throughout the audience. Everyone is cheering for this revolutionary hero.

Li wanted to take off the big cap, and a warm winter sun fell on his face. He raised his right hand high, and the shouts of the revolutionary soldiers became louder and louder!

Zeng Gao held his hands and looked at all this in front of him with a smile. He shook his head slightly and whispered, "It's really incredible... Now the general's every move makes the soldiers crazy..."

When Li Xiang returned to Zeng Gao's appreciation platform excitedly. General Zeng Gao left and walked to Li Xiang to salute.

"Marshal, we have to come in time."

Li wanted to wave his hand: "I almost buried the body in Huangcun..."

Zeng Gao suddenly smiled and said, "Huangcun fought against the siege and broke through, ending with the defeat of the enemy and the victory of our army. This battle not only crushed the Beiyang Army's attempt to encircle and annihilate, preserved the strength of our army, and exercised the army, but also greatly encouraged the local people and strengthened the confidence of our soldiers and civilians to carry out guerrilla warfare in the plains. This is a severe test and a rare exercise. However, our troops can't squeeze together..."

Li wanted to laugh twice. Zeng Gao gave a realistic analysis and summary of this battle, and he fully admitted it. Our army was in a passive situation when it was besieged, with more than 1,000 casualties in the anti-encirclement battle, and some heavy equipment was discarded when breaking through. There is no doubt that there are certain losses, but we should not generate some incorrect understandings, let alone blame each other. On the contrary, our army annihilated more than 3,000 enemy soldiers in the siege and stubborn battle. All the commanders showed a heroic, tenacious and bold and witty fighting spirit, preserved their own strength, especially the division's organs, and effectively killed and injured the enemy and frustrated its spirit. This is a victory worth celebrating in itself.

Li Xiang suddenly looked left and right and stressed: "In Huangcun, the heavy loss of some mules and horses of our army in the battle shows that we can only adapt to the needs of fighting in the plains and hills by keeping light. As for these equipment, after all, these equipment are auxiliary facilities that serve the living forces of the battle. We will establish and consolidate the base in the future. Reconfigure in the process. In order to boost the morale of the troops, we should commend the brave and fearless fighters.

Huang Guangzhong smiled and said, "The victory of the battle in Huangcun has also greatly inspired the local people. The people specially raised 60,000 yuan to express their condolences to our officers and soldiers in the bloody battle in Huangcun. More funds are being raised, and we will gradually become more comfortable.

Li Xiang looked at him with a smile: "I didn't expect such a benefit."

Li Xiang is still complacent. Zeng Gao said with a slow and careless look, "We can't squeeze together. The anti-encirclement and breakout operations in Huangcun also expose the weaknesses of our army, that is, our army is used to mountain sports warfare and guerrilla warfare, and lacks experience in guerrilla warfare in the Jianghan Plain. Only at the beginning of the siege of our army, Zhou Wu, the head of the division, decided that the troops should avoid the plain water network area and move to the Dabie Mountains in the north. As a result, he lost an opportunity to break out early. As early as when the division came out of Dabie Mountain and entered the Xiaochang Jianghan Plain from Bei'anlu, although the military committee with experience in commanding and combat considered the difficulties of fighting in the plain, the general set up a rear left-behind office in Huaxi earlier, leaving the logistics brigade and wounded temporarily as the second batch of eastward troops, but the first batch of east The team directly under the division is still vast. When the eastward detachment of the division had just left Huangcun, the commander-in-chief asked the local militia in Xiaochang for the experience of carrying out a guerrilla war in the plain. When the militia saw the lineup of mules and horses marching in the division brigade, they said, "It's not so vast. What should I do if I encounter the enemy?" As a result, the general decided to streamline the team and send the bullets of the horse to the combat force. However, the problem of too many heavy horses and too many goals to act is far from being fundamentally solved. In view of the slow movement of the division, it is difficult to hide traces in the process of the Jianghan Plain movement. When encountering the Beiyang army, it cannot move quickly, so that it quickly jumps out of the enemy's encirclement, so that after retreating to Huangcun, once again seeking to break through at night, some heavy families have to be abandoned... Although the siege of the Beiyang Army on Huangcun Ninth Road was smashed, the enemy was not disbanded on the spot, and the Beiyang Army may make a comeback at any time. Now Li Xiping, Lin Tiechang and other leaders are here, and they can just study the deployment of the next action together... Our troops can't be crowded together.

Li Xiang strongly agreed with Zeng Gao's repeated emphasis. He said, "This is a lesson from the battle of Huangcun. Now we need to disperse and lead the enemy away. At the same time, commanders and political cadres at all levels are required to attach importance to studying and summarizing the experience of plains guerrilla warfare, carry out special research on plain warfare as a topic, and take time to train the troops. Only by summarizing the lessons learned in time, adopting decentralized guerrilla tactics, and at the same time consolidating the mass base, when the Beiyang Army once again concentrated its forces to sweep us, we not only did not suffer the battle-like losses of Huangcun, but also further developed and consolidated the base.
