"Run quickly!"

"The revolutionary army is all murderous lunatics!"

"Biaotong is asking me to die!"

"Stop! Stop! No chaos!" Zhiwei shouted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Whoever dares to run away again will be killed by me!" Zhiwei raised his gun and fired three shots into the sky.

Just half an hour ago, under the order of Hua Rui, the 11th town artillery mark launched an artillery bombardment at Wusheng Pass.

At the same time, the two beacons of the 22nd Association had been attacking Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass for an hour.

Hua Rui's control of the military in the Eleventh Town was the result of Duan Fang's strong support, so he had to repay Duan Fang, and the most direct way was to break through the three levels.

Huarui pretended to attack Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass with two bids, and attacked Wusheng Pass with the artillery bid, the 41st bid, and the 42nd bid.

And because Forty-Two Biao Biao Tong Zhiwei was also from Zhengbai Banner and was a distant relative of Duan Fang’s concubine, he got the main attack mission.

PS: Duanfang is also a white flag, but he is raising the flag. He is the fourth generation to raise the flag.

Zhiwei originally thought there would be artillery support, but dozens of cannons fired wildly. The rebels had already fled, and even if they hadn't escaped, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

After the bombardment stopped, they launched a charge as a battalion unit.

And after the first battalion easily reached nearly 200 meters, the second battalion was dispatched, hoping to conquer Wusheng Pass in one go.

"With this credit, if you continue to operate and win the association, isn't it easy to get it? You have to let your daughter-in-law go talk to your cousin. She is really a prodigal woman. In fact, her relatives don't even know how to greet her."

While holding up the telescope, Zhiwei fantasized about becoming a co-union... or even a commander.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the first battalion began to fall in pieces, and the charging queue suddenly became much thinner. The team at the front was almost completely wiped out.

(A team is equal to a company. There are four teams in a battalion. There are 1,560 people in a team. The leader is the team officer.)

"What happened?" Zhiwei was still confused.

Dong dong dong dong...

Just when he was confused, the dull sound of machine gunfire came.

…

"Report, the enemy has begun to retreat, the remaining number is about one and a half battalions, about 700 people."

A standard battalion of the New Army consisted of 659 men, including a little more than 500 infantrymen. After a round of machine gun fire, the intact broken troops of the first battalion collided with the advancing team of the second battalion.

"Hey, artillery position? In area 16, air burst bombs and air burst fuses are set at a height of fifteen meters, and three rounds are fired at a very rapid rate." Kong Desheng said to the other end of the phone.

"Don't they like bombings very much? Let them have a taste of being bombed." Kong Desheng said viciously after hanging up the phone.

The revolutionary army has occupied Wusheng Pass for five days. Not only has it built complete field defenses, but it has also measured the artillery parameters in advance.

Woo woo woo...

Not long after I put down the phone, I heard the harsh whistling sound of artillery shells piercing the air.

Boom boom boom…

Six rounds of 105mm shrapnel and six rounds of 152mm shrapnel exploded at a height of more than ten or twenty meters above the heads of the Qing Empire's new army.

Inside each cannonball are thousands of small steel balls, iron pieces, or bent wires. Driven by the explosion, these small things will fly in all directions carrying lethal energy.

The danger of the explosion is not great. Whether it is fire or gunpowder smoke, it is not as obvious as high-explosive bombs. There are so many of them, and the sound is not very different.

However, the lethality is not lower than that of high-explosive bombs. Even if it explodes in such a dense crowd, the lethality is even greater.

Thirty-six rounds of artillery shells were exploded in just one minute. Within the area code-named Area No. 16 of the Revolutionary Army, more than 700 New Army soldiers were all injured or killed.

From a distance, Zhiwei, who witnessed what happened, couldn't believe it. The huge gap and fear made him panic.

But there was someone more panicked than him. Upon seeing this, the third battalion, which was ready to attack, took the lead in deserting and became a deserter.

The soldiers were also panicked and wanted to run away. This was the beginning, and Zhiwei showed signs of stopping the soldiers.

"The evaluation of the bombardment effect has been completed. Most of the enemy has been wiped out. The effect is unexpectedly good." Wang Jin had a strange look on his face.

After so many years in the military, this was the first time I saw this scene.

Even when they fought in Manila, they were supported by the navy's heavy artillery, but they did not achieve such results simply by relying on a burst of shelling.

By the way, he was Kong Desheng's partner at that time... Kong Desheng was the company commander and he was a soldier.

Now Kong Desheng is the brigade commander of the revolutionary army, and he is the battalion commander.

"How are the casualties of your battalion?" Kong Desheng nodded, not surprised.

Seeing from the telescope that this group of people were still attacking in groups, he was not surprised by such results.

I just find it strange that the new armies of the Qing Empire don’t exchange tactics with each other?

This artillery tactic has already appeared in the battle against the Japanese in Beiyang.

"The enemy's bombardment was not very accurate. Seventeen people were killed and more than forty injured." Wang Jin said helplessly.

In order to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible and make the enemy calmer, Nanhua did not conduct counter-artillery operations immediately.

"Everything is valuable. After such a fight, the enemy will probably not attack again in a short time." Kong Desheng sighed.

…

Kong Desheng's guess was correct. When Hua Rui got Zhiwei's battle report, he didn't believe it at first. After confirming it again and again, he was just terrified.

"Sir, the battle report for the 42nd target." Hua Rui handed the battle report to Duan Fang anxiously.

"Defeated?" Duan Fang opened the battle report in surprise. After reading the content clearly, he stood up in shock.

"Is this true?" Duan Fang stared at Hua Rui.

"It's true." Hua Rui said bravely.

"In just a quarter of an hour, nearly a thousand were lost. Does that mean that even if we go to the 11th Town together, we can only last for an hour and a half?" Duan Fang took a deep breath and tightened his cheeks and said.

Hua Rui lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"What? You don't say anything? Could it be that my Daqing Tianbing was blocked in a small Wusheng Pass like this?" After a long silence, Duan Fang said angrily.

"Is there any way? Tell me!"

"For the current plan, we can either mobilize artillery to support us, or attack from the surrounding provinces together so that the rebels can ignore each other," Hua Rui said.

"Cannons? Han Yeping can produce 15 cannons, or cannons. The largest ones in other towns can only produce 15 cannons, most of which are howitzers. What's the use of having more? Give credit to the rebels?" Duan Fang

said sarcastically.

"Shanhaiguan..."

"Don't mention this matter again." Duan Fang knew what he was going to say and waved his hand in disappointment.

There is a 305mm gun at Shanhaiguan, but it belongs to Beiyang. Do you want to borrow it? It's not impossible, but the price must be high.

"Then we can only besiege. The number of rebels must be small, otherwise they will pursue them after the bombardment, and the 42nd Calibration will wipe out the entire army.

Your Excellency has the right to dispatch troops from various provinces, mobilize various armies, and besiege the Chu region, letting the rebels focus on one thing and the other, and wait for them to make mistakes." Hua Rui added.

Duan Fang thought about it and felt a little reluctant, but there was no other way now. It was also a gift to send more people up.

"Forget it, the main force of the rebels should be in front of us. I will summon the governor of Bashu, the governor of Sanqin, and the governor of Liangjiang and ask them to mobilize their troops and march from the east and west at the same time.

In the past few days, we must reorganize the 11th Town. When the reinforcements from the left and right wings arrive, the 11th Town must firmly contain the main force of the rebels in the front. Go down." Duan Fang waved his hand.

The main force of the rebels was mentioned twice in one sentence, in order to preserve their own achievements.

The reason why he is unwilling to mobilize other soldiers and horses is that although he has the power of a general, he does not have the name of a general. If he mobilizes other soldiers and horses, a lot of credit will be divided.

…

On June 14, the revolutionary army had been launched for half a month, but Duanfang's attack was blocked. They were preparing to mobilize troops and horses from various provinces to attack Chu on three sides.

The lands of Bashu and Sanqin are close to the Chu land. After receiving the telegram, the governors and governors of the two places cooperated very well and began to mobilize their troops and generals to set off for the land of Jingchu.

The governor-general of Liangjiang took his time and fought a lawsuit in front of the imperial court. After getting enough benefits, he began to send troops.

The Governor-General of Liangjiang has jurisdiction over three provinces, two of which are adjacent to the land of Jingchu. However, these two provinces are similar to the land of Xiaoxiang and were not able to form new armies after they were transferred.

The financial and material resources of the two provinces have been given priority to Jinling to form the Jiangnan New Army. There is currently a town, but it is still a temporary designation.

In other words, these two provinces have no offensive power and insufficient defensive power, and the province to which Jinling belongs is not connected to the land of Jingchu.

The temporary designation means that the army has not yet been formed, and the War Department does not have enough reasons to transfer it, so the governor of Liangjiang can file a lawsuit.

On June 17, the First Association of the First Town of the Jiangnan New Army set out from Jinling with artillery and horse markings, followed the river upstream, and attacked Jingchu.

PS: Beiyang Sixth Town and Xinjian Eighth Town have official designations, and their actual names are the towns of Xinjian Army. However, the temporary designations do not even have numbers, so they can be called whatever they want.

On the day the New Army set out from the first town in Jiangnan, the news reached the revolutionary army...

…………

Three towns, the former governor's office (the governor's mansion was bombed into ruins).

Lin Pingzhi, Sun Zairen, Chen Jiayin and others were discussing the news they had just received.

"The Jiangnan New Army has finally left the city. Most of the town has been mobilized at once. Jinling's defense force is extremely empty!" Sun Zairen said excitedly.

"Thanks to the intelligence department, which pretended that the revolutionary party launched many revolutions, creating the illusion that the Jinling Revolution had been suppressed, otherwise the Qing Empire would definitely not have released him," Lin Pingzhi smiled.

"Now that the new army has left the city and the plan has entered the second stage, our progress must be accelerated." Chen Jiayin touched his nose and looked at the location of the martial arts point on the map.

Currently, the fifth and sixth regiments, four artillery battalions, twelve gunboats, and four torpedo boats are waiting at Wuxue.

They were waiting for the Jiangnan New Army to leave Jinling.

"Five thousand cadres and retired officers sent from Borneo have disembarked in Yangcheng and will arrive in Changsha within half a month." Lin Pingzhi told another piece of good news.

"Okay! Okay! It seems that I need to find more young students. Don't worry, within three months, I can provide 50,000 young students." Sun Zairen said with a red face.
