217 The Light of Expectation

The news that Wang Zhanyuan was besieged was covered with a mysterious veil. The more it spread, the more mysterious it became. Wuchang, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities where the revolutionary army was restored began to wish for a frenzy again. Even in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other places, unconfirmed news has spread.

At this moment, the Xinhai Revolution needs a victory, a great victory!

In the direction of Qianjialing, the battle was going on fiercely, and Wang Zhanyuan came to the battlefield to command the battle. Similarly, when the Beiyang Army made a fierce attack, the counterattack of the revolutionary army also launched quickly. The mortar shells roared down like raindrops, and bursts of fire blew up at successive breakthroughs. It completely ignores the strangulation of the defenders and Beiyang troops.

The air wave of the explosion lifted the broken limbs and broken arms flying around, and the smoke was full of flying flesh and blood. That's it. In the almost hoarse shouts of the soldiers on both sides, there were still bursts of gunfire and bayonets.

After the second division arrived at the battlefield, it was launched in the area of Jin'e Hall and Gongmuling in the north of the first division. It was responsible for blocking Wang Zhanyuan's northbound road, and thus oppressing the Beiyang army to the south. It completely implemented the intention of the headquarters and blocked Wang Zhanyuan's north return road.

After days of bloody fighting, the revolutionary army gradually oppressed Wang Zhanyuan in a few square kilometers of chivalrous areas.

General Li, Chief of Staff Zeng Gao and other headquarters personnel came to the front line in person and called the generals of various departments to deploy the general attack.

General Li, who was neatly dressed, stood in the waist-high wormwood and held up the Western-style sword and announced aggressively: "There is no advance or retreat in this attack!"

At night, the troops of the revolutionary army launched a full-line attack from all directions. The battlefield of Qianjialing is full of killing sounds, with endless rain, mountains and jungles, repeated hand-to-hand combat everywhere, ravines and ravines, all filled with flesh and blood.

The first division of the South Road is mainly attacked, targeting Changling and Zhang Gushan. Zhang Gushan is the highest peak in the south of Qianjialing, and it is also the last barrier for Wang Zhanyuan's southward defense. If this place is lost, the revolutionary army can overhead the Beiyang Army and drive straight down. However, Zhang Gushan is steep and slow in the south and slow in the north, and the thorns are not toped, which is conducive to defense but not conducive to attack.

The attacking troops of the First Division are all climbing up, steeply tilting, and it is very difficult to move. Wang Zhanyuan, who was stubborn, built a solid fortification in this place of life and death, defended it to the death, and reinforced it many times and repeatedly counterattacked.

The main attack troops of the First Division were ready. At eight o'clock, they launched an attack on Changling and Zhang Gushan. The new and cutting-edge division has a strong morale. At the beginning, it has progressed quite smoothly. After several times, Changling and Zhang Gushan's commanding heights have been restored one after another.

That night, the Beiyang army pieced together and prepared to fight back against Zhang Gushan.

"Damn it, I don't believe it. I can't kill a bloody road." Wang Zhanyuan rolled his sleeves and his hat fell. "Let's clean up a few dogs tonight. When you are a soldier and eat food, what you do is to lick blood with a knife!"

He knew that it was almost impossible to find a bloody road. Now hundreds of revolutionary troops are gathering in front of him, and a new attack is about to start. Now the only feasible way is to fight back.

As soon as the dawn broke, the clouds in the sky became so colorful under the rising red sun. As the fiery red sun rose from the east, the counterattack of the Beiyang Army began.

The artillery of the Beiyang Army Mountain Artillery began a fierce shelling. The smoke was filled, the earth trembled, and the thick smoke wrapped the whole Qianjialing front in it, and the whole battlefield suddenly turned into a erupting volcano.

And in the face of the sudden madness of the Beiyang army, he launched a counterattack.

"Up, up, up, kill these dogs, mother-in-law." Wang Zhanyuan, who was forced into a desperate situation, shouted rudely. A group of fully armed soldiers hurried by with guns in their arms, rushed to the fierce battlefield, and rushed to reinforce the troops on the front line. I'm afraid that the vast majority of them will never come back.

In an artillery position not far away, two Krruppo Mountain guns kept throwing deadly explosive projectiles at the front-line battlefield. The busy artillerymen shouted rudely while carefully put the shells that removed the fuse protection cover from the barrel, and then covered their ears. In the dull roar, they looked at the shells. Whistling out. Swing a perfect parabola into the offensive front line of the revolutionary army in the north.

A row of shells roared into the position of the revolutionary army, and the tattered machine guns were thrown high in the blood fog all over the sky, mixed with broken limbs and broken arms. Several soldiers who hurriedly retreated were directly hit by roaring shells, and the violent explosion tore several people into a pile of bloody remains.

While the revolutionary army's counterattack firepower was suppressed, groups of Beiyang soldiers slowly pushed forward under the drive of Wang Zhanyuan.

The Beiyang army soldiers who fought back from the left and right wings were also fiercely killed and injured by the revolutionary army, and the firepower of Mark Qin's machine gun followed the front line of the Beiyang army. Bullets are screaming around every day. The advancing Beiyang soldiers were constantly knocked down on the messy battlefield.

With heavy and light fire like rain, groups of Beiyang soldiers staggered in the smoke everywhere and forcibly pushed forward under the counterattack fire of the revolutionary army. The artillery fire responsible for cover is to cover the infantry's attack with all firepower.

The bullet subtitles fired by the two sides were intertwined into a gorgeous fire under the sky, and thick smoke rolled straight up to the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

From time to time, shells roared down, blowing up the positions on both sides with swaying bombs. The whole Qianjialing region was caught in a fierce battle.

Obviously, in order to contain the attack of the revolutionary army, Wang Zhanyuan's Keboshan cannons of the Beiyang Army roared and smashed shells.

Almost all the soldiers on both sides rushed to the death. When they heard the sound of gunfire, they fell down. When they encountered the firepower of the machine gun, they lay down. Approaching one by one is a white-edged fight. Such tactics caused heavy casualties on both sides. From Qianjialing to the west, the whole front line was almost full of blood. Under the dense intertwined fire net of the revolutionary army, the Beiyang army soldiers were corpse everywhere.

Relying on bunkers and fortifications, the revolutionary army resisted desperately. All kinds of firepower still fired at the attacking Beiyang army soldiers. Although the Beiyang army artillery continued to suppress these brave and fearless soldiers with fierce shelling, they still fought to the death. Light and heavy machine guns never stopped screaming, even occasionally One or two shells were fired at the attacking team of the Beiyang Army.

Li Xiang raised his telescope and looked at the troops that were counterattacking forward. He roared at the staff officer standing aside, "Let Zhou Wu increase the suppression of the flanks, cover Lin Tiechang's troops to continue to push forward, and must defend the original front line."

Zeng Gao, who was buried on the map, raised his head and said, "There are not enough troops!"

"You can't take risks with the lives of revolutionary soldiers. To deal with these stubborn and stubborn guys, you have to destroy them with steel." Marshal Li paused and said, "We should make full use of the artillery and strive to kill the Beiyang army in the position to the greatest extent. Only by completely eliminating the enemy can we avoid major casualties."

"Marshal, since Division Commander Li Xiping is not nervous in Guangshui, let him send a brigade to the flank to cover the frontal attack. Maybe the pressure here will be much less." Zeng Gao thought for a moment, and finally pointed to the red and blue arrows marked on the battle map and said to Li Xiang.

"Okay!" Li wanted to pause slightly and said, "I shouldn't be blindly commanding. You decide here."

Lin Tie's division suffered heavy casualties, and the reserve team was exhausted. Most of the officers below the company commander suffered most of the casualties, but barely saved their positions. After all, Wang Zhanyuan is a mixed association, and the equipment is even more advanced in the world. Relying on strong firepower, the Beiyang Army dropped bombs like rain, and the infantry then counterattacked in an all-round way. The position exchanged for the flesh and blood of Master Lin Tiechang turned into a piece of scorched earth. At noon, Tang Hai, the commander of the 1st Division, and Hu Xiong, the commander of the battalion, were seriously injured, and Zhang Gushan's commanding heights fell back to Wang Zhanyuan's hand.

If it had been at noon in the past, the sun had already risen very high, but today's sunshine does not seem to be very good, just vaguely hiding behind the thin clouds and faintly sprinkled the earth.

From time to time, there were one or two violent explosions or fierce gunshots on the front line that had been silent for a while.

A thunderous explosion rolled from the front line on the flanks, and the sky was full of explosive smoke clouds. Wang Zhanyuan looked far away at the front that was shrouded in thick smoke. That is the revolutionary army is attacking Zhang Gushan's Beiyang army. From time to time, one or two huge fireballs rolled up over the already messy battlefield.

Wang Zhanyuan withdrew his eyes. The mountainous area hundreds of meters away has been blown up by fierce gunfire, and the exploding waves have lifted piles of earth and stones everywhere, still emitting thick smoke.

Suddenly, with the whistling sound of tearing silk, the cannonballs opened by the infantry of the Revolutionary Army hit the narrow position of Zhang Gushan. Then there was another cannonball, and then another row of cannonballs fell from the sky one after another, hitting the hellish hill neatly.

Fireworks are everywhere, thick smoke is rolling, and the bright trees hit by cannonballs are burning violently.

After letting go of the first platoon of the Beiyang Army, the revolutionary army targeted the attack in the direction of the second echelon. Several Beiyang soldiers disappeared in the sudden fireball. The sudden attack caused the entire Beiyang Army front to be cut into two sections.

At this moment, another shell roared. Many officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army flew flesh and blood in a dazzling fireball. Several soldiers who were nearby were also affected by the explosion and flew out like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Then, the infantry firepower of the revolutionary army suddenly began to be difficult, and a shuttle of machine gun bullets swept over. Two Beiyang soldiers who were desperately fighting the fire for their comrade-in-arms who were on fire were hit by bullets and rolled down on the roadside. The head-covering machine gun bullets firmly suppressed the counterattack of the Beiyang Army, and the bullets flying everywhere made it almost impossible for the Beiyang Army soldiers to find the dead corner.

There was chaos everywhere, and the calls for the revolutionary army's attack came one after another. Wang Zhanyuan was shocked and angry. Regardless of anything else, he immediately ordered the guard platoon to launch a counterattack. At the same time, he stood firm and collected the retreating soldiers.

Many people were splashed with blood in the oncoming metal bullets. Wang Zhanyuan saw a machine gun position hastily established a little far away from him and was suddenly hit by a shell. With the blooming of a dazzling orange firelight, a large group of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose, and the machine gun that was spitting out its tongue and several soldiers who were shooting with guns disappeared like fallen leaves in the suddenly bulging waves. In the fierce martyrdom, the earth was almost trembling, and the choking smoke and dust rolled up.

In the thick black smoke, the fire curled up until it burned into a pile of scorched black metal debris. There is chaos everywhere. The wounded were covered with blood all over their faces, and several soldiers who were thrown out lay motionless on the road. There were continuous calls for help.

"Damn, immediately organize a counterattack, organize a counterattack," Wang Zhanyuan was extremely angry.

The air is filled with a smell of scorching smell, with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and bloody smell.

The reorganized offensive of the revolutionary army was sharp, destroying all the fortifications on the northern hillside of the enemy. The troops took advantage of the situation and made the Beiyang army unable to stand. They fled in confusion and recaptured Zhang Gushan.

In the afternoon, the troops first captured Nie Village, Tian Busu and other materials at the western foot of Qianjialing, and then attacked the highest peak along the west side of Qianjialing.

At this time, Wang Zhanyuan was holding the troops of the First Division on the eastern slope of the mountain, and the Second Division took the opportunity to enter. Wang Zhanyuan on the mountain was defeated by the enemy and could not take care of both.
