216 The Light of Expectation

In the three towns of Wuhan, the southern and northern armies confronted each other across the river, and the tense air and wind blew away. At the end of the streets and alleys, the sandbag road forts, the forested sentries and the unclaimed corpses lying on the street all make the city breathe a terrible atmosphere of war.

In addition to some of the institutions left by the revolutionary military government in Wuchang, almost all departments have gone, especially the provincial representatives who came to Wuhan first have all been transferred to Nanjing. Li wanted to take the initiative to provoke this war, so he had to scare them who faced Feng Guozhang's soldiers in Hankou in Wuchang. Feng Guozhang was powerful, and Wuhan people no longer doubted at this time. As long as Feng Guozhang gave an order, Wuchang would soon withdraw from Hubei from the Wuchang military government led by Li Yuanhong in the hands of revolutionaries. This step was not only unexpected but also expected by Wuhan people. Only Li Yuanhong did not go to Nanjing to serve as a grand marshal, which surprised everyone in the world.

The mist of defeat enveloped the hearts of every revolutionaries who stayed here. In the whole city, only Feng Xiaoqi led a tight manpower to maintain the urban order in Wuchang.

Today, a ray of sunshine appeared in the gloomy sky of Wuhan. The soldiers and civilians in Wuhan, who have been plagued by the dark clouds for a long time, can't help but have a glimmer of hope.

The revolutionary army besieged the Beiyang Army Wang Zhanyuan's regiment in Qianjialing. As soon as the news that Marshal Li was leading his troops to encircle and annihilate it came out, it caused a sensation in the whole three towns in Wuhan.

The revolutionary army that participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Qianjialing was very strong. Li Xiang and Zeng Gao finally caught a fighter plane. How could they let it go? What's more, commanders at all levels understand the importance of quick combat. Once it is delayed, Sun Chuanfang's department in the north and the main force of the Beiyang Army in Baijia Town in the east will advance from east to west to help Wang Zhanyuan. At that time, there will be a dangerous situation where the revolutionary army will not eat the besieged enemy, and the reinforcement enemy will be surrounded the revolutionary army.

There are endless killings in the mountains around Qianjialing and the east and south of Jin'e Hall, Gongmuling, Xiaojin Mountain, Dajin Mountain, Lion Cliff and Dunshangguo. The two sides repeatedly attacked and competed one by one. Zhou Wu's first division was placed in the sections of Xiaojinshan and Dajinshan, and was responsible for blocking Wang Zhanyuan's troops rushing to the southeast.

Zeng Gaozhang caught mice on the net and tasted the sweetness of the anti-eight-character position. Jinguanqiao, Xingzi and Ruichang blocked the Beiyang army and annihilated thousands of enemies; the East and West Guling fought again, and seriously damaged Wang Zhanyuan's troops.

Zeng Gao is not a person who shrinks back when it's cheaper. He likes the endless sound of guns on the battlefield and the big and exciting competition. He wants to avenge the domineering villa. Marshal Li said early in Duba Villa that he would not destroy this enemy and wanted his head. Although Marshal Li did not want his head in the end, the shame of failure had been written down. As long as Wang Zhanyuan was eliminated, it could be erased.

Zeng Gao commanded the revolutionary army to attack Qianjialing from east to west. The first and second battalions of the Tian Regiment (belong to the first division of Zhou Wu) attacked from Waxia Gui and Dongkeng Pass. At the same time, the third battalion was attacked by Liu Jialing on the side of the enemy. At three o'clock in the morning of the day, they occupied Liu Jialing Liu, Maweitang and Jigonglin Liu. The third battalion of the Wei Regiment occupied Qiaozuiwang blocking the enemy from going southwest. Most of the enemy continued to arrive. The bear village in the northwest of Qianjialing attacked Weituan Qianjialing, Dajinshan, physical view and other positions. After the concentrated fire of the revolutionary army, the enemy failed.

At 5:00 p.m., Wang Zhanyuan seemed to be a criminal. Zeng Gao immediately transferred Zhang Tuan and Wu Tuan's Yang camp to occupy the strataling and its positions near the northeast to block it. The enemy reinforced one after another, and then attacked Xiaojin Mountain and Qianjialing, but did not retreat.

Xuanwang Zhanyuan's cavalry army, seven or eight hundred, rushed to the southwest through Tian Busu to the lion cliff and the highlands around the flesh, in an attempt to plagiarize the left back of the revolutionary army. Zeng Gao then transferred Zhang Tuan to attack the enemy of the physical view and the lion cliff from the layer ridge, and ordered the Yang camp of Wu Tuan to intercept the enemy of the northeast of the physical view. The Zeng camp of Wei Tuan was attacked the enemy's back by Qianjialing Nie Village and Ren Village.

The revolutionary army began to attack, and the enemy resisted with danger. The revolutionary officers and soldiers fought bravely until 5:00 p.m., completely occupying the physical view and the positions around the lion cliff. The remnant enemy retreated to the Biandan Mountain west of the Lion Cliff, and confronted each other dangerously.

At 6 a.m., the revolutionary army continued to attack the enemy of the Biandan Mountain. When they occupied the belly of the mountain, the enemy retreated to the top of the mountain and took the opportunity to resist desperately. They added more than a thousand troops to counterattack. After three hours of hand-to-hand combat, Zhang Tuanhuang's Huang camp suffered all the casualties.

After 8 o'clock, the enemy continued to attack Dajin Mountain and Lion Cliff, all of which were repulsed.

Zeng Gaowei's regiment attacked the enemy of the mountain in front of him, the mountain against the mountain, and the Yang family, and controlled it to the east. Yang Jiaban and the northern highlands of Qianjialing were completely occupied, and the remaining enemies retreated to the western end of Qianjialing and the area of Xiongcun, Tianbusu and Jianlusu. With the cover of their Shibao Mountain artillery fire, they fought desperately.

Wang Zhanyuan's enemy kept attacking the high ground at the eastern end of our Yangjiaban, and at 3:00 p.m., he returned to help

The team rushed to the revolutionary army. The Wei Regiment of the Revolutionary Army suffered a lot of casualties, causing the northern end of Qianjialing and the eastern highlands of Yangjiaban, which was occupied by the enemy at 4 p.m.

After that, although the troops of Lin Tiechang's Second Division and Wang Zhanyuan attacked each other and fought fiercely, there was no major change in the positions of both sides.

The second division disabled the enemy and almost disabled itself. It is it that entangles the enemy with all its strength. Before the other troops arrived on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the second division went forward and after another. Regardless of casualties, they successfully blocked Wang Zhanyuan's troops, left the enemy in the Qianjialing area, and bought valuable time for the follow-up main force to encircle and annihilate the Beiyang Army.

Wang Zhanyuan's attempt to break through was ruthlessly smashed by Zeng Gao, and he would never be given any chance to escape. Wang Zhanyuan suffered more than half of the casualties, and it was obviously impossible to break out. In desperation, he had to turn to the defense on the spot and stand firm and wait for help.

On the same day, the major newspapers in the three towns of Wuhan scrambled to report. The imaginative reporter even issued a check for the victory on the front line in advance. This is no longer the propaganda of the People's Daily, and this report quickly swept the country.

Li Xiangjun's military government's Wuchang command post did not admit or deny this, but kept silent. They were more concerned and anxious that the war on the front line of Qianjialing could cash the check.

The people in the three towns of Wuhan began to go crazy again, only the red building under the Yellow Crane Tower of Snake Mountain was deserted.

Li Yuanhong's fat figure appeared in front of the window facing south of the Red Mansion, looking at the crazy people on the street, but the Red Mansion was doubled desolate. Tang Hualong from Xishui, Rao Hanxiang from Guangji, and Chen eunuch from Anlu, these talents who made great contributions to him in Hubei, left him one by one.

Thinking about it three months ago, they saw Li Xiang as a joke and a madman. How many heroes in the north and south fought openly and secretly to fight for the upper reaches of the Han Dynasty. The ambitious Huang Xing left Wuchang sadly and sadly. Feng Guozhang, who was angry and murderous, was about to leave Hankou wearing a real horse. Duan Qirui, who was proud of spring breeze, was in Xiaogan is anxious, and the good life doesn't seem to last long. He is also crying every day in Wuchang, and the ground is not working... Only Li Xiang, under the deadly suppression of the northern parties, lives more and more moist, faintly, and has become the biggest winner in the Han Dynasty...

Wuchang can't do anything. Rao Hanxiang and Chen Yan advised him to go to Nanjing and compete with Huang Xing for the real power of the grand marshal, because Li Yuanhong was only a nominal grand marshal, and the Huning party members still asked Huang Xing, the deputy marshal, to act as the grand marshal. The grand marshal, the president's, these are Yuan Shikai's pockets. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing have no hope. In Li Yuanhong's opinion, it's better to think it's all floating clouds. Now, after Wuchang gradually loses power, he is even more indifferent to power.

As long as Li Yuanhong thinks that his governor is inexplicable, it is easy to get power, and he doesn't care so much about losing power. But Li Yuanhong doesn't care, but someone cares.

The Hubei military government was established, and Sun Wu was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs, which is the most powerful part of the military government. Sun Wu did not lay the foundation for the revolution. On the contrary, he insulted the comrades, the alliance Li Yuanhong, approached the old bureaucrats, and won Sun Faxu and others. Huang Xing was the commander-in-chief of the war. Sun not only did not have full support, but also was jealous of Huang Xing's reputation above him. With the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Li Xiang's power suddenly rose. Sun Wu was unwilling to lose power. He thought that Wuchang had meritorious deeds, so he specially rushed to Shanghai for activities, hoping to get the position of general and deputy chief. Unexpectedly, the Nanjing government had no place, which caused Sun's evil feelings for the Nanjing government.

In this way, Sun went his own way and attracted a large number of frustrated civil and military bureaucrats and politicians in Shanghai to cultivate his own power. Liu Chengyu, a member of the old alliance, returned from the Americas. Huang Xing asked Liu what he studied in the United States. Liu Yi was deeply dissatisfied. Therefore, Sun and Liu cooperated to establish a civil society in Shanghai, which was openly opposed to the League. It is said that although Zhang Taiyan and Tang Hualong did not join the People's Society, they all sponsored Sun Wu.

Sun Wu founded the People's Society, supported Li Yuanhong as the central political group, and took Rousseau's "People's Covenant" as fundamentalism. Its purpose is to promote the sound development of the republican politics. Its territory is the Hubei faction directly under Li Yuanhong. His cadres are Sun Wu, Zhang Bole, Liu Chengyu, Rao Hanxiang, Lan Tianwei, Zhang Zhenwu and Ning Tianyuan.

But Li Yuanhong knows in his heart that the People's Society can't talk about doctrine, nor can it talk about the purpose of the republic, let alone the political group that has its own center. If there is also a so-called political program, it is to oppose the grandson and support Yuan, so as to achieve the purpose of personal promotion and wealth. This is the actual content.

Li Yuanhong still knows something about the inside of the people's office. Sun Wu's cadre figures seem to be no Lan Tianwei, Zhang Zhenwu and Ning Tianyuan. Because Lan and Sun Wu are not close; Zhang Zhenwu once checked accounts in the private society and said bad things about himself, saying that he should not use useful money for useless purposes, and he and Zhang Zhenwu are always uncoordinated; Ning Tianyuan and Huang Xing have a deep relationship. Li Yuanhong secretly paid attention to it and found that there were still people such as Ma Jiaotian, Li Yishen, Qin Dafang and Ding Hutang.

For these characters, Li Yuanhong, an old bureaucrat, thought he did not have the ability to control it. Naturally, he refused to go to Huning to be this puppet and keep it in Wuchang.
