Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh
When the sun shines on the earth again and the night is dispelled by the light, as Zhao Guanhou said to Xiecheng, the Iron-blooded Eighteen Star Flag of Tianbao City has been replaced by the Huanglong Flag. The commanding heights of Zhongshan fell back into the control of the Beiyang soldiers. Zhao Guanhou, Sun Meiyao, and Cheng Yue appeared at the cannon base in Tianbao City at the same time, causing Ren Sheng, who was responsible for the night attack, to cheer together.
The Lu army had special night battle training, and with the vitamin supplements, the soldiers were not blind. Night battle was the leader of the Lu army, with long attacks and short results, and the battle results were brilliant. The guards retreating in a hurry did not have time to destroy supplies or burn documents. Many important documents fell into the hands of the fifth town, including the entire Jiangning defensive operation plan, which was also included.
The troops that Ren Sheng climbed the mountain were two specially selected battalions, and Zhao Guanhou's guard battalion did not have the advantage over the troops in Bunker City.
However, in the middle of the night, the children of the Huai Army turned the three heavy artillery and aimed at the bunker city. At the foot of the mountain, reinforcements were also going up the mountain to consolidate the results. A whistle of the gun bell had already gone up the mountain to control the artillery position and loaded shells to prepare for firing.
Ren Sheng said, "I really didn't expect that my eyesight has improved so much than in the past, and I saw it clearly at night. The other party was basically blind and could not see anything at night. Beating them was like beating a blind man, which made the brothers take advantage of it. And the sword of the fifth master was really powerful. He was getting stronger and stronger. He killed everyone. The old man can be considered the first achievement."
Wang Wu shook his head and said, "I dare not take it. This is actually because they are confused and cannot see people. They set off guns randomly and are afraid before fighting. Otherwise, no matter how much better my kung fu is, it will be useless. Today's world is already the world of guns and cannons, and kung fu is no longer useful."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too humble. We admire your skills. Without you in Shandong to teach you how to climb mountains, you would not have won today's victory. You must not forget the well digger when drinking water. This night battle, you have made the greatest contribution."
Cheng Yue was so nervous that she couldn't speak, her face was swollen and red, and her hands were holding her husband's hand tightly. She felt that her husband was holding her hand tightly, and she felt that she was extremely solid. The Huai Army was so able to fight, which made her feel very relieved, and she felt that she was a useful person, and her husband... Perhaps because of these soldiers, she would no longer neglect herself.
However, Ren Sheng no longer cared about looking at the eldest lady, but pointed to the map excitedly, "After Tianbao City, Dibao City is single and lonely, and cannot be defended for a long time. The entire Jiangning is already under our control."
"Don't be too happy too early. They are not good at night fighting, so they didn't dare to attack last night. Today, if you suffer, they will definitely come and take over Tianbao City at all costs. Do you have the confidence to defend it?"
Ren Sheng gave a military salute and said that he would live and die together with the position."
The two battalions guarding Dibaocheng were not good at night fighting, so even though they heard the movements of Tianbaocheng, they did not dare to organize troops to fight back. Li Tiancai and Yu Jinbiao were sent to the hospital in the city for rescue. The two pipes responsible for Dibaocheng defense saw through the telescope that the Beiyang soldiers were already turning their guns and aiming at Dibaocheng.
The two looked at each other, "If the cannons are turned around by them, our Baocheng will be bombarded immediately. We must ask Jiangning for help, and we must also think of some solutions."
"As soon as we lose, the entire Jiangning will be like a door open, and the commander's life and death are unknown. In order to be right, we have to grit our teeth and hold on. Once we lose, the entire Jiangning will not be able to defend us. We do not invite reinforcements, and reinforcements will come back. But we cannot just get shells here. I suggest that we organize a suicide squad and take back the fort."
"What your man said makes sense, but if you recruit suicide squads, you need to have money. If you don't have money, how can anyone dare to die?"
Guandai Qian Guanghua smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no money, isn't it still my money? I have a house in Songjiang, which was left by the older generation. If it is sold, it will be worth hundreds of dollars. Whoever goes with me to regain the fort, I will give five dollars alone, and I will follow this standard and prepare to recruit soldiers."
Another manager Wang Yougong nodded and said, "How much do you pay for, I'll pay for it. Let's raise money together, recruit 100 suicide squads, and fight with them! You stay here, I'll take the suicide squads up."
"Just kidding, in the threshold, my fellow practitioners are ahead of you. Whenever you are heroic, I will do it first!"
The two were still arguing about who made the mortar and who made Cheng Ying. A earth-shaking loud noise had already sounded. The three cannons in Tianbao City had been debugged, and three huge shells were bombarded and landed on the artillery tower in Dibao City.
In Jiangning City.
Lin Shuqing was called out from the bed in the middle of the night. He was sleeping with a "Liangshan hero" at that time. He drank a lot of wine. After being shaken, he raised his hand and slapped the orderly soldier, touched the gun everywhere, preparing to kill this reckless ghost who dared to disturb his good dream and peeked at his concubine's body.
However, the visitor said, "Tianbao City was attacked, Commander Li was seriously injured, and his life and death were unknown." He was so scared that he was completely drunk that he disappeared.
He stood up in a hurry, put on his coat randomly, turned on the faucet, and poured himself a lot of cold water. His mind was slightly awake, and then he said, "Get together the team, how many gatherings are there! Take back Tianbao City for him!"
"Commander, don't be impulsive, you may not be able to reinforce overnight." The Chief of Staff rushed over in time and stopped the orderly soldiers. Lin Shuqing's chief of staff, Tao Junbao, was tricked Chen Lenghe to Yangshupu and kidnapped. He was a famous family in the Southeast and taught in the Martial Arts School. He had half of Lin Shuqing's master-apprentice relationship, which was very trusted by Lin Shuqing. Seeing that he stopped him, Lin Shuqing calmed down.
"Teacher Tao, Tianbao City is a big deal. Once it is lost, the entire Jiangning may be in danger. No matter what, it must be kept here. Taking advantage of the fact that the Beiyang soldiers have not yet established a stable foothold, there is still a chance to kill. If they have firmly stood firm, this position will be recaptured. You don't know how many people we died before attacking Tianbao City."
Tao Junbao shook his head, "It is because I know that I don't support you to act rashly. Our people have never conducted overnight combat training. Most of the brothers are blind and blind. When fighting at night, they have no eyesight. Most of them will suffer losses. The Lu army can launch such a successful night attack, so they must have special night combat training. Fighting with them is like using short attacks to be long, and the outcome is unknown. What's more, in Jiangning City, Chen Wuwei is the strongest in the front, so why should we win the fire for others?"
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
"The three provinces in the Yangtze River are liberating, and the Restoration Association will make the greatest efforts. But now? They want to welcome Sun Dixiang back to be the Lingsweet of the new country. I know that you are a member of Xingzhong, but we have to think about who has conquered these foundations. Sun Dixiang regards the Xinzheng Mansion as his own pocket, and I do not support it. According to my thoughts, with Lin Gong as the leader, Cheng Quande and Tang Xiangming as their wings, and with the unification of the world as the call to form a unified party. With the Unification Party and Xingzhong Society, it is up to the people to decide who should decide this country. Chen Wuwei naturally hates my proposition and regards me as a thorn in his side. He also does not welcome you, the commander of the army. I received information. His plan is to go north with the army north, take the attack as the defense, actively attack the Beiyang soldiers, and attack the front line to the outer circle."
Lin Shuqing shook his head, "How can this be done? I killed Jiangning. He came and wanted to drive me out. I was the first to refuse. Not to mention him, even Xu Gu always wanted to drive me out of Jiangning, he would not be able to do it. He was a little slut, so how could he have the qualifications to order my army..."
"That's all. He is killing people with a knife. In the name of defending Jiangning, he wants to murder our group and exclude and suppress other friendly parties. Our Resurrection Association and Xingzhong Association were originally companions, but now they have parted ways because they don't like some of their practices. Chen Wuwei is a man with great ambitions and a strong aura in the world. He has raised a large number of killer and assassins under his command. Your and my personal safety will be a big problem. If the troops are severely damaged again, the Ge Ming Fruit of the Resurrection Association will be usurped by him. Although you are a member of Xingzhong, you should also think about whether Chen Wuwei once regarded you as a member of Xingzhong. What is his attitude towards you?"
Lin Shuqing said: "Although I am a member of Xingzhong, I am absolutely obedient to the teacher's words. For me, no matter whether it is Xingzhong or the liberation, as long as it is expelled from the Tartars, it is a good righteous party. For me, the teacher is the person I respect the most, and I will not allow anyone to harm the teacher."
Tao Junbao smiled and said, "It's not about harm or harm. I'm a famous family in Zhenjiang. I think Chen Wuwei dare not attack me casually. However, we have to learn to be smart and not be used by others. The most important task of the Zhenjun at present is not to deal with the Beiyang army outside, but to prevent the friendly forces behind it. If our guns are gone, our lives will be very dangerous. Xingzhong will be eager to establish the country, not us. Their earnestness to defend Jiangning is only stronger than us, so we don't have to let our brothers rush to die. Tianbao City... There are Zhejiang Army, Shanghai Army, Ning Army and other troops, which is enough to deal with it. Besides, this battle is finally a war that Chen Wuwei has taken charge. He is responsible for the aftermath, and we will not solve the problem for him."
Lin Shuqing thought for a while and greeted the person behind him: "Aliu, bring me a bottle of brandy. I'm drunk and don't know anything today. When you ask tomorrow, you can just remember what you say!"
In Chen Lenghe's cell, in the middle of the night, the door was suddenly opened. She sat up from the bed alertly, holding a piece of porcelain in her hand tightly.
There was an electric light in the room. After someone came in, he turned on the light directly and smiled and said, "I still had one eye open when I was sleeping. I'm so alert. Don't worry, everyone outside is their own people. Who dares to touch your bad ideas? I'll let Lao Ying scold him."
The one who came in was Weng Meiqian, the sister-in-law of Bai Xiangren who had been with Leng He recently. She was carrying a leather bag in her hand. Chen Lenghe looked carefully and saw that it was the lady's handbag she was holding when she was caught. The bag only contained a pistol given by Sai Jinhua, plus some foreign currency. The rest were perfume and cosmetics, and there was not much useful thing.
After being confiscated, she never thought about coming back. Weng Meiqian put the bag into her hand. "Old Ying took a lot of effort and finally took your bag back. Look, is there anything there? Is it missing? I will help you do it immediately."
Chen Lengheluo checked, "Nothing is missing, there is nothing missing. I want to say thank you for your kindness."
"You are so kind, my sister, this is just a simple task. Don't be polite to me." Weng Meiqian said with a smile, and sat down next to Chen Lenghe, stretched out his hand to her shoulder, as if it was intimacy among lovers. She leaned her mouth against her ear and whispered: "I'll tell you a good news. Your man has brought troops to fight, and Tianbaocheng has asked him to take it down... I have to help my old man..."
On Tianbao City
Ren Sheng had taken off his shirt and went into battle bare hands, taking the lead in pushing the giant cannon purchased from Prussia. In the Huai Army, soldiers who were famous for their courage and tried to turn the direction of the muzzle.
Wang Wu and Zhao Guanhou all participated in the cannon push team. Ren Sheng shouted angrily: "Eat it all for me, the lady is on the mountain. If the cannon at the foot of the mountain falls on the mountain and hurt the lady, I will never finish it!"
Four battalions and 2,000 soldiers have been sent in Jiangning City to organize the rescuing of Tianbao City. The artillery in the city has also been pushed out and bombarded against Tianbao City. However, all the light artillery in Jiangning City now is only light artillery, with a limited range and cannot reach the mountain. On the contrary, once the fortress cannons on the top of the mountain complete the steering, it can create an absolute deterrence at the foot of the mountain.
Cheng Yue went up the mountain desperately. Zhao Guanhou shouted loudly to her down, but he was unmoved. He only said, "Where is the master, I will be there, and I will never take a step first." He held the Huanglong flag in his own hands and supervised the battle on the top of the mountain. In this way, the morale of the Huai Army children in Tianbao City doubled, but the pressure also increased.
The coalition's attack was very fierce, and the troops rushed up wave after wave, like a tide. Two stewards in Dibaocheng were killed one after another. The squad took over the position of the stewards and were also killed under artillery fire. Now the post of the sentry officer is taking over, leading the remaining troops to launch an attack, and the reinforcements also organized suicide squads to detour from both wings and launch an attack on the artillery position in Tianbaocheng.
More than half of the cannons on Tianbao City have turned around, but the most powerful giant cannon has not yet completed its turn. One of the major advantages of the fifth town is that there are a large number of bullets left by hand. This weapon is extremely powerful in mountain offensive and defensive battles. If a row of bullets left by hand is dropped, the attacking party will immediately be blown away and retreat in a hurry. In addition, the Minni rifle volleys in the guard battalion are fast and accurate, and for the attacking party, it is as terrifying as a nightmare.
The attacker equipped with smoothbore guns, as soon as he raised his gun, was fired by the Minnie gun before he could shoot, and fell in rows. The new army was of varying quality, and although a large number of soldiers had undergone infantry training, they had not passed through the battle formation. The battlefield of artillery fire and smoke was too terrifying for them. They stood shoulder to shoulder with each other. Only in this way can they have the courage to fight.
This close position led to the Beiyang soldiers shooting bullets as long as the height is appropriate and they can hit the target without aiming. The casualties of both sides are not on the same level. However, although the new army has poor combat skills and is not lacking in courage, the attack has never stopped, and it has actually relied on flesh and blood to approach the giant cannon position inch by inch.
In addition, the battle was close to the fierceness of the two unknown peaks not far from Tianbao City. The two infantry posts stationed there were two pounds of artillery set up to bombard the mountain. The troops at the foot of the mountain attacked the two posts with two battalions, hoping to seize the position and threaten the main peak of Tianbao City.
Relying on the advantage of large numbers of people, the attacker held the bullet and rushed to the top of the mountain.
