It was late at night, Tao Junbao, the staff officer of the ninth town, was suddenly called up by his own soldiers, and when he woke up, his hand holding the gun suddenly tightened, as if it was aimed at someone who came, but he heard that it was the voice of his own soldiers, so he put down the gun in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Tao Junbao's voice was not gentle, in fact, he was dreaming just now, dreaming that his identity was exposed, and then he was pulled to Yuanmen by the people from Duanfang, and then shot to death.

"It's... It was Zhao Bai who came back first, "The soldiers also knew Tao Junbao's habit of sleeping, but the matter was too big, and he had to wake him up."

"What? He...... How did he ...... "Tao Junbao is actually the arrangement of the revival society in the ninth town, and Zhao Sheng is also the revolutionary object of his exhibition, but because he doesn't want to expose his identity, Zhao Sheng suddenly joined the alliance one day, and then even promoted the revolution in the army, Xu Shaozhen wanted to kill him, but under his persuasion, he started the matter. Now he's not coming back.

"Quick, just find Li Jingcheng, or go to his younger brother Zhao Nianbai, and ask him to leave immediately." Tao Junbao pondered for a moment before saying to his own soldiers. He knew exactly what Zhao Sheng was doing, but since Duan Fang knew that there was a revolutionary party in the ninth town, and he dared to send the ninth town to attack Hangzhou, why didn't he arrange it! The 33 bids, which have the largest number of revolutionaries, have been transferred to Huzhou, which is a trick by Duanfang's cronies in the army.

Although Tao Junbao thought quickly, he was still a step too late, and when his personal soldiers found Li Jingcheng, Zhao Sheng, his guards and others were all tied up and sent to the Chinese army's big tent. At this time, Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the command, and Sun Ming, the commander of the 17th Association, had already gotten up, and they heard Yu Dahong of the Military Police Department say loudly: "Report to the marshal." Zhao Sheng, a chaotic party, entered the camp late at night, plotting against him. Now that it has been captured by the lower officials, how to deal with it, please make it clear to the marshal. ”

Yu Dahong of the Military Police Department was a dog in Duanfang, but he just grabbed Zhao Sheng and the others, and his tail immediately rose to the sky. Tao Jun Bao came a little late, and was taken aback when he saw this, but he was not good at talking. can only wait for Xu Shaozhen to speak first, if Xu Shaozhen wants to be strict, then no matter what he says, he can't save it.

Commander Xu Shaozhen actually didn't sleep. Worried about tomorrow's war, according to Duanfang's statement, the main force of the revolutionary army has gone to Songjiang, and those who remain in Hangzhou are all old and weak. And it is also difficult to use firearms. The Ninth Town is the strongest army in the new army, and fighting such a battle is completely hand-to-hand. It's just that he is worried that if he really wants to kill the revolutionary party, his reputation will be completely ruined, and even if the top is more popular, it will be more than worth the loss. He was struggling when he suddenly heard that the gap between the revolutionary army was seized outside. When I went out of the room, I realized that I had taken Zhao Sheng.

"Untie him. Bring it into the house, and Ben Shuai will personally question him. Xu Shaozhen has always appreciated Zhao Sheng, this time he suddenly met like this, and he could roughly guess Zhao Sheng's purpose, and there was no excuse to save him, so he had to let him speak by himself, and it was up to Zhao Sheng to live or not.

After Zhao Sheng was brought into the camp by Gong Shifang, he realized that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought -- he was actually not the standard commander of the 33rd standard, and when he left, he was just a battalion pipe band, and in order to prevent the revolutionary party from changing, the 33rd standard had already been transferred to Huzhou, and the military police department was also added to the army, which was all a means to prevent the revolutionary party from causing chaos. After understanding this, it is unlikely that he will surrender, but for the sake of the revolution, Zhao Sheng still wants to take a risk, but he doesn't want to be caught by Yu Dahong's people before he touches Xu Shaozhen's tent.

Xu Shaozhen had already given an order, Yu Dahong had to signal for his subordinates to loosen Zhao Sheng's ties, Zhao Sheng stood up and patted the dirt and said: "I am a messenger sent by the revolutionary army, Mr. Cai Yuanpei of the Fuxing Society, and a copy of the special book is given to Lord Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the Ninth Town." ”

"You are the Messenger? Ha ha. Yu Dahong laughed, "The messenger has sneaked in at night?" ”

"That's how I came all the way from Hangzhou, who knew that I would get here while walking, can I be blamed for this?" Now that he has been arrested, he has no choice but to make things clear.

"You ......" Yu Dahong was speechless by Zhao Sheng's words, and reflexively said to Xu Shaozhen: "Dashuai, he is lying and quibbling, he ......"

"Alright." Yu Dahong was not liked by the officers of the Ninth Town, and when he saw that he was deflated, Xu Shaozhen didn't care at all, he stopped Yu Dahong, who was about to speak, and then said to Zhao Sheng: "Zhao Sheng, Ben Shuai saw you as a talent before, and he just wanted you to restrain himself from the precipice, but he didn't want you to really become a chaotic party, what a pearl is a secret investment!" Today you say that you are a messenger, then Ben Shuai will believe you once, you put down the letter of the bandit Cai Yuanpei and leave. ”

"Handsome ......" Yu Dahong immediately shouted when he saw that Xu Shaozhen was going to let Zhao Sheng go.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Shaozhen shouted, "This commander is handling military affairs, so Commander Yu should please avoid it first." ”

Xu Shaozhen said politely, but it was a tone of rejection from thousands of miles away, in fact, no one likes to have a gendarme in his army who does not obey the command. Yu Dahong was drunk by Xu Shaozhen, and his face turned red and he immediately withdrew. Yu Dahong walked here, but Zhao Sheng handed Cai Yuanpei's letter to Xu Shaozhen, not wanting Xu Shaozhen to look at it, so he waved him down.

"Handsome ......" Zhao Sheng looked at Xu Shaozhen with a gloomy face, still holding a glimmer of hope.

"Since you are the messenger, I have received the letter, you can go back." Xu Shaozhen didn't pretend to be a color at all, and then said loudly: "Send off!" ”

When Zhao Sheng was driven out of the Ninth Town by a "send-off", Zhou Zhaoxian, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment who stayed in Hangzhou, sneaked into his camp tent with the brigade commander Lin Wen -- his battalion was defending the Qijia Gate Ferry, because the fortifications were built very far inside, and Zhou Zhaoxian's camp tent was not in a trench, but a small tent was set up under a big tree.

"What is the morale of the troops, is anyone afraid?" After Lin Wenqian sat down, he asked, because of his own experience, the most common sentence he asked when he got out of the company was "Is anyone afraid?" Or, "Are you afraid?" If he answered truthfully, he was afraid, then he would be angry, and he was called "not afraid of the regimental leader" by someone who gave him the nickname.

However, Zhou Zhaoxian was born in the guerrillas of western Liaoning, and he did not know much about his temper, so he said truthfully: "Some recruits are still afraid, especially since they have never seen artillery. ”

As soon as he heard that someone was afraid, Lin Wenqian immediately stood up. Yan sù said, "How many people are afraid? ”

The soldiers of the three battalions were all members of the Shengxian County Congress earlier, and then there were some patrol battalions. Later, it was recruited to be a homeless person, and those who had been to the Northeast were fine, but the soldiers who had not been there were all new recruits, and they were all afraid of artillery. Zhou Zhaoxian said the truth, but when he saw Lin Wenqian's big reaction, he also stood up and said: "Report to the chief, everyone is used to firing a few cannons in the Qing army, so you are not afraid." There are no bad seeds in the three battalions! ”

"Good!" Seeing Zhou Zhaoxian's appearance, Lin Wenqian was half relieved. "The most important thing is to fight bravely, especially us, because we don't have enough firepower. There are not many shells, only hand-to-hand combat and white-knuckle combat are the way to win, and tomorrow not only veterans will take the lead, but you will also take the lead. If you want to die, die on the battlefield! Got it? ”

"Yes. Sir! Zhou Zhaoxian said loudly.

"Good. Sit down. Lin Wenqian nodded. When the small camp tent was filled with smoke, he took a map to introduce the situation on the other side of the river, "The current intelligence is that Qijia Gate and Tangtou Street are the main crossings for the Qing army to cross the river, and now their various baggage is piled up here, as well as artillery." in this position," said here. Lin Wenqian found a bald pen from the table again, drew a semicircle with the enemy's artillery position as the center of the circle, and a radius of four kilometers, and then said: "We can't control the artillery of the fleet, but we must pay attention to the artillery camp of their 6th Army, once the fleet on the river is withdrawn, then the only thing that can protect the enemy is their eighteen mountain guns." ”

"Mountain artillery?" Zhou Zhaoxian had always heard that the Manchurian Army had two field artillery battalions and one mountain artillery battalion, but he didn't expect that there were only mountain artillery in the tenth town, and there were only eighteen cannons, not fifty-four as imagined.

"Fujian is too poor, and they came in a hurry this time, so they only have one mountain artillery battalion. Even if it is a mountain artillery, the range is four kilometers, and your side will either mix with the enemy and make it impossible to fire the artillery on the opposite bank; Or just wait for them to enter the trench on their own initiative and greet them with this. As Lin Wenqian spoke, he found a sapper shovel out of nowhere, he waved it twice at the air, and added: "The trench is very narrow, and the rifle is too long to call, so this can be used when the time comes." ”

Because the third battalion is the main force, all the soldiers have taught bayonet skills and sapper shovel skills, Zhou Zhaoxian's heart is hot when he hears this, but after thinking about it, he said: "How to use the flying thunder cannon?" ”

"Don't use the flying thunder cannon first, you can't always count on him, it's been a rainy day for more than ten days, and only God knows if the black powder will blow up or not." Lin Wenqian shook his head, "The battle ahead is easy to fight, we have too many recruits, and when the enemy does not have an advantage, let a few veterans take them to kill first, and it will be easy to bring after seeing some blood." ”

Hearing that Lin Wenqian said lightly that he saw some blood, Zhou Zhaoxian couldn't help but look at Lin Wenqian twice, only to feel that his showman-like white skin and hard heart did not match very much, but he was also a leader of the troops, and knew that there was no hard-hearted and soft-hearted person on the battlefield, and the most important thing was victory. Hearing this, he still said yes.

Lin Wenqian then explained a few more words and left, tomorrow the Qing army will cross the river, since it is not withdrawn, it must be carefully prepared. After he left, Zhou Zhaoxian recorded the things he had just explained in detail, and then deduced the map for a long time, and then closed his eyes a little and fell asleep, but it was nearly four o'clock at this time, and he was woken up by the adjutant before half an hour came.

"What time is it?" Zhou Zhaoxian opened his sleepy eyes and frowned.

"At 4:37 a.m., the hygrometer showed that the humidity was over 90 percent, and the weather was either going to fog or it was going to rain again. Now there may be a fire in the Qing army camp on the other side, and I am afraid that they are having breakfast. "The adjutant's name is Zhang Yinan, a native of Linan Township, Shengxian County, and he is said to be an adjutant, but he actually has a bit of a top staff officer.

"Once the fog is heavy or it rains, will the Qing army's crossing of the river be postponed?" Zhou Zhaoxian asked.

"It's hard to say, but now they should also know that the Ninth Town has arrived in Tangqi, and if they want to grab the credit, they won't delay it for too long." Zhangyang South Road.

"Then it doesn't matter, it's better to fight late than early." Zhou Zhaoxian thought that the Qing army was approaching on both sides, and he only felt that a stone had been pressed in his heart, and when he said the other side, he asked again, "Has even the platoon commander arrived?" ”

"It's coming soon." Zhang Yi muttered. During the operation, the unit commander had to hold a meeting every morning as usual, and the company commander originally participated, but Zhou Zhaoxian liked the company commander and platoon commander to come together, so that a dozen or twenty people got together, and he felt more energetic when he spoke.

At 4:50, after the five-minute meeting, there seemed to be some light on the edge of the sky, and at this moment of brief confusion between night and day, Zhang Shengquan, the leader of a platoon, had just walked to the position that his platoon was responsible for. It was raining, but as soon as he jumped off the trench, he heard "chirp... Chirp... The sound of ...... chirping".

Under conditioning. Zhang Shengquan shouted: "Shelling! Get down! Shelling! Get down! ......" Zhang Shengquan's voice did not fall, and he was hit by shells before and after the trench, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After the loud bang, the mud of the bullet point had already flown into the sky. After Zhang Shengquan shouted, he also pounced on himself in the trench, and only after the explosion did he bounce up and kick the panicked soldiers into the anti-artillery hole in the trench.

What the Qing army came over was by no means the 75mm mountain artillery that the battalion commander just said. It's a bit like the 15omm siege cannon I saw in the Northeast before, but the power seems to be a little smaller. When Zhang Shengquan was training officers in Tonghua, he had seen the power of the 15o cannon. But no matter how large the caliber of the gun, he and his platoon were bombed, and. After the shelling, the Qing army was about to climb 6. He didn't know if the mines upstream would work. If the mines can't scare away the Qing gunboats on the river, then I have to explain here.

The shelling in the faint light threw the entire line of defense into disarray, and then, under the reprimand of the platoon commander, the soldiers of the entire trench settled down, but this stability was also temporary, as soon as the landing point of the shells or the mud from the bombs came close to the trenches, especially the trenches that were guarded entirely by recruits. Then the soldiers near the explosion point jumped out of the trench as if they had blown up a nest, and some soldiers threw their guns and ran back. Others ran to the river without knowing the right direction, but the men were quickly picked up by the officers with pistols. Lin Wenqian, the commander of the Second Brigade, gave a military order early, and if he retreated, he would be killed!

Zhang Shengquan looked at the soldiers who were shot dead by the officer, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing - when he was bombarded by Russian Maozi artillery before, he also fled, but he didn't run two steps before he stumbled and fell.

"See?" In the rumbling explosion, Zhang Shengquan said to the soldiers beside him: "There is nothing to be afraid of the cannon, just like this, the explosion is a big pit, listening to the sound of the cannonball, as long as it is not aimed directly at you, there is nothing to hide in the anti-artillery hole." On the battlefield, bullets and shells recognize people, and I like to find the timid the most. Do you know why? Because the timid person smells of urine on his body, and as soon as there is a smell of urine, the bullet comes. ”

Zhang Shengquan repeated what the old beard in the Northeast had taught him to the soldiers around him -- when the first brigade was expanded, the third battalion was the last to be replenished, so there were no Qing soldiers anyway, only new recruits -- looking at these soldiers looking at him anxiously and expectantly, Zhang Shengquan only felt a burst of satisfaction.

"I used to be afraid of running, and the first time I heard about the cannon soul, I was scared of half of it, but after hearing it, I liked it. If you're really scared, shout two, ah...... Ah......" Zhang Shengquan shouted twice, and then said: "Shout like this, it will be better to shout." Besides, what is there to be afraid of in the cannon, even if he dies, he will be a man again in 20 years, and in the future, if he is disgraced in my platoon, I will have to split him. After Zhang Shengquan finished speaking, his eyes pressed at each recruit, only to see them dodge.

Zhang Shengquan's recruit education method is a combination of the officer training class and the old beard professor, but he feels that the effect is quite good, at least, the recruits around him have settled down, and the hand holding the gun has also tightened. He was a little satisfied when he saw this, then got up, ran to the next cat's ear piercing, and then said the half-coaxed and half-frightened words just now. There were 40 people in a platoon, and there were 278 recruits, and when Zhang Shengquan had not yet gone all, the sound of artillery stopped, and he couldn't help complaining that the Tartar spirit was too small, so he stopped after firing so many cannons, and he didn't finish his wartime training class.

As a matter of fact, at this time, the shelling is indeed meaningless, especially the warships on the river do not see the effect of the shelling, and such blind shelling is a waste of shells -- Zai Xun, who has just been appointed Minister of the Navy, has worked very hard to exterminate the rebels this time, and many gunboats and cruisers in the navy have been transferred by him, and he ordered the navy to do its best to support them, and the admirals and the 10th Town, both Fujianese, are very hard shelling.

The shelling began at five o'clock and ended at five twenty-three o'clock, and after the terrible explosions were gone, all that remained were the cries of the wounded and the shouts of the medics. At this time, the observation post at the front saw the black and oppressive ferries on the river, and although it was difficult to count them under the rain curtain, it was still possible to roughly estimate it. After the sentry finished estimating, a phone call came to the front finger: "The Tartars have begun to cross the river." Over a hundred! The Tartars began to cross the river, and the ships passed a hundred! ……”

Lin Wenqian in the command headquarters did not move at first, only after all the observation posts reported like this. Only then did he get up and said, "There are more than a hundred ships, Sun Daoren wants to transport them all twice." After that, he meditated for a moment, and then said to the adjutant: "Take Yuan Pudu's side, and the first batch of mines will be released in ten minutes." ”

"Ten minutes?" Zhou Sixu looked at him and said.

"It takes thirty minutes for the mines to float over, and forty minutes for the Qing army to line up at the ferry to unload the boats. There are too many of them, don't blow up some ......" Lin Wenqian said this, and the adjutant had already connected the phone from Yuan Pudu's side. Lin Wenqian took the phone and shouted into the microphone: "I am Lin Wenqian, and I order the first batch of mines to be released immediately in ten minutes." …… In addition, the timing transposition is located at the Qijia gate ....... Repeat my command! …… Okay, let's do it! ”

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and more than 100 ferries crossed the river in a short time. Begin unloading people in the dock area. In the early morning when the rain was not loud, even if it was far away, the noise on one side of the trench could be heard on that side. The first to cross the river in the tenth town were the 37th and 39th bids, of which the 37th bid was the first to go ashore, but under the command of Fan Qingsheng, the commander of the standard, the troops did not immediately march to Hangzhou, but deployed around the ferry, although the British indirectly provided a lot of information. But who knows if it's true or not. Thinking about the revolutionary party that threw bombs last night, Fan Qingsheng had palpitations.

More than 100 boats, plus baggage, actually only carried two of them. In fact, there are only more than four battalions of more than 2,000 infantry troops, and more than 2,000 troops are divided into two places, Qijia Gate and Tangtou Street, but only half of the unloading, the boat parked on the river exploded with a "boom", Fan Qingsheng was horrified, and when he hurriedly squatted down to avoid the artillery, he heard another fierce explosion, and at this time, a broken voice on the river shouted, "Mine!" Mine! There are a lot of ......" The man didn't finish shouting, and another mine was exploded, and at this time, Fan Qingsheng, who raised his head from the mud, saw several ferries being blown into pieces, and the huge water column stirred up by the mine rushed into the sky.

The shouts of mines threw the ferries on the river into chaos, and the soldiers on board either dragged the twisted ferryboat, which had been twisted by the boss, or hoped to swim to the shore, and jumped out of the boat and was immediately submerged in the surging water. In the continuous explosions, more soldiers jumped into the water, and the panicked boat boss no longer had the luxury of avoiding these mines coming down the river, but rowed directly and rushed to the shore, although it was troublesome to run aground, but the only way to keep the ship - for them, the boat was the most important, and life was not the key.

Zhang Shengquan didn't have a telescope, but he still saw the chaotic Qing army on the river, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and only shouted: "Bomb!" Explode! Blow up these dog minions......" and then waved his hand again, shouting at the soldiers behind him: "Keep up!" Come on! Hurry up and keep up! ”

A small group of Qing troops deployed too far out, and the company commander Zhang Nanxing meant to knock him out - the trench actually went all the way to the riverside, and they could move along the trench to a place less than 80 meters away from the small group of Qing troops, and once the Qing army was not guarded, then Zhang Shengquan, the forty people, could pounce on them and fight with a white knuckle, or destroy them half-annihilated, or wipe them all out, anyway, they always had to get some loot or something.

Getting closer and closer to the Qing army, Zhang Shengquan's hand holding the gun was getting closer and closer, and his heart was beating faster and faster, only when it was time to attack the position, he turned around and looked behind, only to see that most of the soldiers who were panting were already lying in the trenches, so he said to Zhang Boqi, the squad leader next to him, "Fuck wait and hit on time, I'll find you to compensate for the missing parts!" ”

Zhang Boqi grabbed him and said, "(Or) I'll take someone to rush, right?" ”

"You rush a fart, look at those eight lambs who can't hold a gun softly, if I, the platoon commander, don't take the lead, it's hard to say whether they can (rush out)! it! The more nervous he became, the Northeast dialect that Zhang Shengquan had learned before came out one by one. After he finished explaining to Zhang Boqi, he lowered his voice and said to the soldiers in the trench: "Kill those people and come back!" If you want to save your life, you have to be fast! ”

Zhang Shengquan's words were passed down by the soldiers one by one, only to feel that the whole platoon heard it, he looked at Zhang Boqi who had already aimed with a gun, and then turned his eyes to the twenty or so Qing soldiers who were half on guard and half watching the chaos on the river seventy meters in front, and suddenly, he shouted: "Rush! Rush! Come on! He shouted and jumped out of the trench.

When Zhang Shengquan shouted, the guns of several veterans on Zhang Boqi's side also rang out, "Bang... Bang...", the Qing soldiers in charge of the guard were immediately shot and fell to the ground, and the other Qing soldiers suddenly encountered cold guns, and they all threw themselves into the mud. Zhang Boqi suppressed here, but Zhang Shengquan rushed forward with thirty people, and the recruits who had just come out of the trench were still a little shaking, but after running and shouting, they ran faster and faster. The distance of more than 70 meters is at most ** seconds, although theoretically the Qing soldiers can fire two shots, but these people were suddenly attacked, and after they pounced, they did not release their guns but now the enemy has rushed up with bayonets, and many people stood up to meet the enemy without firing a shot.

Zhang Shengquan was afraid that they would flee backwards without a shot, and his thirty people did not dare to rush to the riverside, at this time, when he saw that the Qing soldiers were happy to meet the enemy, and he was about to run to the Qing soldiers, he shouted "Kill!" After a short step, a stab stabbed at the tallest Qing soldier, and his bayonet just slammed down, which was extremely difficult for tall people to defend. Sure enough, when the opponent's gun was not set down, the tip of his knife stabbed into the man's thigh, the feeling of the tip of the knife into the flesh and the obstruction of the leg bone were very familiar, the knife was not in the end, in the other party's screams, Zhang Shengquan withdrew the bayonet again, and then vigorously blocked the stabbing shot to the right, and then rushed forward, and another Qing soldier explained in his hand.

The first to rush up were a few veterans and two squad leaders, the Qing soldiers were not opponents at all, just when they wanted to fight one more, the soldiers behind rushed up again, and then the remaining dozen Qing outposts were immediately flooded with bayonets. At this time, the Qing soldiers on the river bank were also alarmed by the white-knuckle battle on this side, but the distance of nearly a thousand meters was not to say that they could come up, and those who wanted to shoot took into account the soldiers on their side, so they could only stare dryly while running forward.

With the escape of the remaining Qing soldiers, the white-knuckle battle soon ended, and Zhang Shengquan immediately took everyone to bow down, "Bring your guns, bring your own people, and climb back!" He shouted indistinctly, and while exhausting the corpses of the Qing soldiers to block the bullets, and cutting the bullet belts on their bodies with a short knife, he wanted to bring back all the trophies. The dozen or so Qing soldiers who died were quickly searched by them, and then the second squad leader Ma Zhonglao took the lead, and after he broke off, he brought all the soldiers back.

Fan Qingsheng, who was fighting in the distance, saw it clearly, he could even see the distorted face of the revolutionary officer in the telescope when he was assassinated, and his heart couldn't help but lift up again when he saw his soldiers being killed by these revolutionary soldiers covered in mud like such a target. He suddenly felt that this was by no means an ordinary opponent, especially the ruthlessness of those revolutionary troops who killed people, not that his own people could have, and he felt that today was too unlucky, and now that the crossing of the river was suspended, the ferries on the river and the gunboats of the navy were frightened by the mines.

"Quick! Send a message to all the pipe bands, and hold the position for me! Whoever loses his position, I cut whom! At the critical juncture, in order not to be driven down the Qiantang River by the revolutionary army, Fan Qingsheng had to release cruel words, he only liked the mines of the revolutionary army for a while, and it would be good if the river would float away after a while. He didn't know that the mines of the revolutionary army were all anchor mines, but these anchor mines had a big wooden pontoon, so they could hit these wooden ferries with shallow drafts, and once the time set by the incense sticks inside arrived, the pontoons would blow up, and then the entire anchor mines would take root under the river, and it would not be possible to complete it in a day or two if they wanted to clean up. (To be continued......)
