The wharf in Changkou Town was in chaos long before the revolutionary party broadcast, and now I heard that the revolutionary party let go of the wharf and let itself retreat, so it was even more chaotic, but the wharf was occupied by a battalion in the sixth town, and those wooden boats were all soldiers of the sixth town, and the soldiers of the patrol team had robbed the boat before, but they were all beaten down by these northern Yankees, and when they finally fought hard, they were strafed by machine guns again, and then they settled down, but even so, the patrol team by the wharf not only did not retreat, but gathered more and more, The revolutionary party's strategy of encircling one of the three seems to be able to bear fruit soon.

Liu Dashan of the artillery regiment looked at his pocket watch, and only waited until the time reached 9:55 a.m. before he asked the signal corps to go down to each artillery company to give an order, and at 10 o'clock to shell the Qing army's position. He looked at the watch here, and Ni Jin, the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion, also looked at the watch, before the second regiment snatched the task of the assault, and the first regiment was so faceless, but people are not as good as the sky, and the last knife of the sixth town still has to be cut by him, a Manchu martial artist, how fast it is. After Ni Jin finished reading the watch, he picked up a black cloth and wiped his big knife, and after a while, he was going to go to the battlefield in person, so that this knife could drink the blood of the tartar.

"Big brother, something is wrong with the revolutionary party on the other side." The sixth town has 24 standards and three battalion management belts, Fan Guozhang of the first battalion is steady, Hui Fuxing of the second battalion is honest, and Li Dianwen of the third battalion is very lively. At this time, he and the 1st Battalion were responsible for defending the north side, and when they saw that the situation on the opposite side was different, they couldn't help but jump over, saying that it was to discuss, but in fact it was more for the sake of courage.

"What if something is wrong?" Although Fan Guozhang disagreed. But in fact, he picked up the binoculars and began to look ahead, and he was very suspicious that his side was the breakthrough point of the revolutionary party.

"Big brother. You say that what this revolutionary party says is true, right? I mean that the gun will not be killed...... "said that the other side is not Li Dianwen's purpose, and he is about to be annihilated, he is here to ask about the way back."

Fan Guozhang held the binoculars and said disdainfully while looking at it: "Don't forget the fuck, we have blood debts with the revolutionary party, don't you remember what happened in Songjiang?" "Songjiang is actually the army that broke into Shanghai the year before last to exterminate the revolutionary party. Relying on the local gentry's news, most of these thousands of people were surrounded and annihilated. "At the beginning, we did too much to resist the soldiers. Soldiers are killed, their heads are cut, and their lower bodies are cut, if you can't remember this. The revolutionary party remembers. ”

Fan Guozhang's words only poked Li Dianwen's heart. made his face blue and white for a while, Fan Guozhang put down the binoculars at this time, looked at Li Dianwen who lowered his head, and scolded with a smile: "When are you old, you are still playing with your heart, go back quickly." Do you know what the back road is, holding here is the back road! ”

After Fan Guozhang finished speaking, he ignored the sharpshooters of the revolutionary party. He leapt to the top of the trench and stood on top of it, just as everyone looked at him in great alarm. But he spoke:

"Brothers, what we wear, what we eat, what we send at home, every penny is given by the emperor and the court. I have a straight heart, whether this is deceived or robbed, I only know that it is the emperor and the court who feed us, there is no emperor, there is no Lord Yuan, aren't we still digging in the soil, full of one meal and two hungry meals?

I Fan Guozhang is a big old man, less literate, and even less reasonable, but I don't understand the others, I still understand that I am surrounded by the Kuomintang and killed here, so I have a good fight with the revolutionary party, death, that is to repay Jun's kindness, not to die, that is God bless. Brothers, fight to the death to repay the emperor's kindness! Fight to the death to repay the emperor's favor! ……”

Fan Guozhang has always had prestige in the camp, and at this time, seeing him standing on the trench with righteousness and awe-inspiring speech, everyone was shocked for a while, and everyone didn't understand what they said before, but the one in the back, "fight to the death, to repay the emperor's favor" still heard very clearly, and for a time the soldiers of the entire battalion shouted, "Fight to the death, to repay the emperor's favor!" "The first battalion shouted here, and the second battalion and the third battalion also continued to shout, but the positions of the three battalions were far apart, and the trumpets were not shouted together, but you and I took turns shouting for a while.

The turtle in the urn was still shouting and screaming, only the revolutionary army's morale was not light, but the battalion commander Ni Jin waved this big knife and laughed, "The fucking Tartar on the other side is a man, I like to fight this battle, and I will ...... later."

As soon as the battalion commander said "I like it", the political commissar panicked and hurriedly said: "Old Ni, don't violate discipline!" You still remember the punishment from the last time. ”

Ni Jin was stunned by his punishment, put down the knife and touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I must obey discipline, I must obey discipline." ”

When the political commissar saw him like this, he just sighed, and wanted to say something, but he was disturbed by the sudden sound of cannonballs, and he saw that his mouth was open but he couldn't hear what he said at all.

The Qing army's base was extremely narrow, and the firing of the artillery was known to Zhu Yuan, and now this cannon hit the artillery position behind the enemy's formation. Although the breakthrough point was in the north, where the power of the chlorine bomb was limited due to the wind direction, Li Chengyuan did not want any soldiers to be killed by the poisonous gas of the Qing army, so the artillery was like the artillery that destroyed the Qing army from the beginning. As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the shells fell firmly on the formation of the artillery battalion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the dust raised by the shells covered the sky, even if the Qing army scattered the artillery, but there were still many cannons that were blown up or overturned, and even if the remaining cannons could counterattack the revolutionary party, because the revolutionary party's artillery array was only behind the ridge of the mountain, it was simply a dead end, which could be seen on the observation balloon, but the cannon could not hit at all.

The devastating artillery fire only raged for a few minutes, and Ma Liang heard someone shouting in the gap between the artillery fire: "Bomb! Explode! Run! As soon as he turned his head to look, he saw a stream of green gas suddenly drifting out on the artillery company position arranged on the other side, and something in his heart was suddenly punctured, and he collapsed to the ground at once, muttering: "It's over, it's over......"

The observation point of the revolutionary army also saw the strangeness of the Qing army's position, but it did not mean to stop the artillery at all, and this artillery was fired for more than 10 minutes, and thousands of shells only ploughed and ploughed the Qing army's artillery array, and only after the bombing there could not be fired for a long time, then the muzzle of the artillery turned to the northern position. After the routine repeated ravages of the Qing army's trenches, the artillery bombardment was extended to the rear of the trenches to isolate the Qing soldiers from reinforcing this section of the trenches.

The morale of the Qing army was raised extremely high by Fan Guozhang. Although they were severely beaten by the revolutionary artillery, when the revolutionary army that sneaked to the vicinity of the trench attacked, these fierce Tartar soldiers actually jumped out of the trench and wanted to charge back. It's just that these people were so stunned by the artillery fire that even if they finally jumped up to the trench with soft feet, they were rushed down by the revolutionary army, and finally kicked into the trench. Commander of the first battalion. In the past, Ni Jin, a martial artist, disregarded discipline again, and only carried a big knife mixed with the attacking team to kill and slash. He originally wanted to find the Qing army who led Fan to fight just now, but he didn't want to wait for him to find this person, who was already dead, and he still had a bayonet stuck in his body. In his hand, he held a six-wheeled pistol used by an officer.

The northern defense line of the Qing army, which was completely crushed by artillery fire. Crispy and soft like a fried fish that has been scorched black, it was rushed and crushed by the revolutionary army, at this time Aoki Xuanchun, who climbed to the top of the highest house in the town, held the telescope and nodded very much, the artillery skills and tactics of the revolutionary army are very sharp, especially the revolutionary army has the courage to fight with a white edge, which he admires the most.

The position in the north has been broken, and the town of Changkou is suddenly in chaos, and the generals bitterly persuade Zhao Guoxian not to withdraw. had to break out on his own in accordance with his military order, saying that it was a breakthrough. It is better to run away, and as soon as they get out of the gate, they all get on the prepared sedan chair and rush to the dock, these people are in military uniforms when they go in, and they are in civilian clothes when they come out. Most of the high-ranking officers fled, and only most of the pipe bands of the various targets were still sticking to their positions, but even if there was no artillery bombardment on the other sides, the mortars of the revolutionary army were not vegetarian, and after a rapid fire, grenade bayonets also came up.

At ten o'clock, the artillery bombardment began, and the infantry attack began at half past ten, and before eleven o'clock, the fastest regiment and a battalion of Lu Guanxing had already killed the Qing army headquarters Yuanmen, after the mortars knocked out the machine guns arranged outside the Yuanmen, the soldiers who rushed in only found that the Manchu Qing officials inside were standing there waiting, and at this time, an old man wearing the new army general's dress was being untied from the white silk on the beam by several people, and a person who looked like a housekeeper came up and said: "My lord, my lord, the handsome man has committed suicide, and I beg your army to keep a whole corpse." Then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

When the platoon commander who led the team heard this, he stepped forward to take a look, and only felt that the dead old man was indeed a bit like a Manchu official, so he took the command knife of the commander over with his hand, and then scolded: "Cutting off the head was done by you bastards, and our revolutionary army has discipline." Then he shouted at the officials who were standing at a loss: "Fuck me up!" Lift it up! What kind of bird Sven pretends, as a prisoner, you have to look like a prisoner. ”

After the headquarters of the sixth town was occupied, the siege and annihilation battle at the entrance of the field was basically over, the sixth town was all annihilated, the commander Zhao Guoxian committed suicide, the other generals had already fled in disguise, and more than 3,000 people of the Zhejiang Provincial Patrol Team who were besieged here were also captured, and all the ammunition and food for the spring attack were captured. The sixth town is finally finished, and the tenth town in Xindeng County on the other side of the river is also gradually cleared, although compared with the sixth town, they are in Xindeng County, and they have something to rely on, but the tenth town was afraid of the revolutionary army before, and the revolutionary army suddenly broke through the forward defense line and surrounded the county town on several sides, which made the whole army of the tenth town chaotic, and the commander Sun Daoren couldn't suppress the bullets at all, and Xiao Qibin, the commander of the artillery standard, and Wang Wenying, the pipe band of the engineering battalion, had already disguised themselves as traders and fled with their own soldiers. As a result, there were chlorine shells in the 10th town that could not be used to defend against the enemy, and only Xu Chongzhi, the commander of the 20th Association, was still in the city, and he seemed to have some support, and he was not at all anxious about the attack of the revolutionary party.

The sixth town ended at eleven o'clock, and although the tenth town attacked late, it ended earlier - when the revolutionary army entered the county seat, the city was full of surrendered troops, Sun Daoren was not as strong as Zhao Guoxian, and only sat in Xindeng County to let the revolutionary army arrest, and Xu Chongzhi, the commander of the 20th Association, said that he was a member of the League in the face of the revolutionary army, and asked to see the president of the Fuxing Association, Wang Jinfa, the head of the first regiment in the name of the Alliance, had heard of it, but these rabbit cubs said that they would defend Hangzhou and Hangzhou, and when the war came, they all stopped cooking, and they didn't look like a soldier at all, It will only waste food, but for the sake of the revolutionary party, Wang Jinfa only asked people to lock him in the house and wait for the fate of his superiors.

Soon after the end of the war on land, Wen Shude's Jinou ship arrived at the entrance of the field, and the ironclad ships of the revolutionary army did not understand what the Manchu Qing side was thinking one after the other, in order to lead the enemy ships to the preset position of the army artillery regiment, they retreated to the south side of the field, only waiting for the Jinou ships and Jiang Yuan ships to enter the ambush circle, and the Jinou ships ran aground inexplicably in dodge under the fire of the artillery group. After the fire broke out on the Jiang Yuan ship, it retreated wildly, and the battle on the water was temporarily over.

Around noon. Lin Wenqian's headquarters was full of joy, looking at everyone with an excited expression, Lin Wenqian shook his head and couldn't help laughing. Zhou Sixu, who was beside him, saw him like this, and said, "Is it possible to let the troops fight for one more day?" If you can really take Hangzhou, then the influence on the government ......"

"Nope! We already have the influence of politics, and there is no need to take Hangzhou again. "Lin Wenqian always wants to enter Hangzhou again to take revenge, but now is not the time." You said that from the perspective of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was it me who was in a hurry to take Hangzhou, or was I not in a hurry to take Hangzhou? ”

Zhou Sixu is also very clear about the current situation. smiled: "Naturally, they are the most anxious if they don't take Hangzhou, if we take Hangzhou, then they can slowly transfer troops to recover." ”

"yes." Lin Wenqian seemed to be convincing Zhou Sixu, and he seemed to be convincing himself. "That's the truth. Hangzhou in whose hands. Then whoever will be trapped by it, only take what should be taken, and only do what should be done. What's more, there was still an ironclad ship in the Manchu Qing Dynasty that ran away, and I don't know if there was a radio on this ship, and if there were, then the west would be dangerous. ”

"I don't think there's a radio yet." Zhou Si was a little surprised, "Although we found that there are radio waves in Tianjin. But it can't prove that this is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Tianjin has a nine-nation concession. Maybe it's British, American, or whoever. ”

Lin Wenqian also knew the information from the Military Intelligence Bureau, but he only said, "Considering the problem can't be too absolute, the troops will return to Yanzhou by night tonight, and the political commissars on the soldiers' side will do a good job of ideological work, so that everyone can understand the current situation." Let's leave two regiments here. One regiment entered and occupied Fuyang and Lin'an, and sent a small force to the suburbs of Yuhang and Hangzhou, while the other regiment immediately occupied Changshan Township (now Louta Town), and then approached Zhuji, Xiaoshan, and Shaoxing. ”

Lin Wenqian said, and the staff officer next to him took notes, and after a while, he signed for him, and then sent a telegram to Zhou Zhaoxian and Zhang Gong's brigade headquarters. After this telegram was sent, Lin Wenqian yawned and said, "Mr. still needs to be notified, you can help me prepare a telegram and send it to Mr." I'm too sleepy, let's get some sleep, it's not a big deal, don't wake me up. ”

Seeing him like this, Zhou Sixu just smiled and nodded, but asked again, "What about those captives?" After all, the towns of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not native to Zhejiang, and there were no locals to introduce them, so it was still difficult for them to join the revolutionary army anyway, and the final treatment was to do a period of hard labor and then let them go home, but if they were captured again, it was not so simple.

"Let's keep all the technical arms." Lin Wenqian said. "For the rest, you can ask the government department." With that, he left.

Lin Wen was about to leave, and after Zhou Sixu drafted a telegram sent to Shanghai, someone came to report that he had captured two Japanese, and that the two Japanese were bent on meeting the commander of the revolutionary army. It is not uncommon for the Beiyang Army to have Japan, but these people are generally with the commander, this is the first time that the revolutionary army has formed a new military town to eliminate the Manchu Dynasty, and naturally it is also the first time to capture Japanese advisers, Zhou Sixu didn't want to pay attention to these two Japanese, but the signal soldier said that these two people claimed to be heavy dà military intelligence reporters, he hesitated and only asked: "What are they called, these two people?" ”

"Report to the Chief of Staff, one is called Nobujun Aoki, and the other is called Sakanishi...... Rihachiro. This Aoki Nobujun is also a major general in the Japanese Army. "The Japanese names are too awkward, but luckily the communications soldiers have memorized these two strange names by the time they came.

As soon as he heard that the other party was a major general, Zhou Sixu smiled, "Major general, is it rare?" Bluff we haven't seen the world, haven't we? Sue sù Zhang Gong, both of them are locked up, no, isolated, and don't let them mix with the other captives. If you want to see that, wait two days, and inquire about the details of these two people first. ”

Lin Wenqian said that Aoki Xuanchun was in Zhang Gong's prisoner camp at this time, they were the same as everyone else, the weapons and sabers on their bodies were cleaned up, and when the command knife was collected, Sakanishi Rihachiro was still standing aside and yelling, but Aoki Xuanchun was very cooperative and let go, he believed that it would not be long before the revolutionary army would exchange the command knife for himself, and then send himself away. They were first locked up with the Manchu officers, and then, near evening, they were taken to a courtyard and locked up in the innermost room of a row of houses. Unlike the captive camp, there were separate beds and furniture, so two people could finally sit on chairs.

"Teacher. Will the commander of the revolutionary army meet us? Rihachiro Sakanishi asked from the side, saying that in China he and Aoki had always been treated favorably, but this time the revolutionary army did not take them seriously at all, which made him accustomed to it.

"Look, the revolutionary army seems to be retreating." Aoki Xuanchun is worthy of being a spy, he found a crack in the wall, and found a wooden bar and stabbed it a few times. You can still see the Fuchun River, and at this time there are rows of wooden boats like trains, and these wooden boats arrive at the port. The bow of the former Ming was moved from stern to bow, and this kind of water train consisted of more than a dozen wooden boats, and each 'train' could carry at least four or five hundred people. Although there are not many "trains" entering the port, Aoki guesses that there must be "trains" waiting in other places. Because the pier at the entrance of the field is too small.

Look at the bow of the ship that doesn't emit black smoke. Aoki couldn't guess what the ship was burning, but the height of the chimney and the smoke coming out of it didn't look like a coal-fired boiler, because he couldn't see the horsepower of the tugboat's bow, and Aoki suspected that it was just a ship transport, just responsible for towing the empty ships upstream, and not hauling them back upstream after the other wooden ships were full. Discovering information was completely a hobby of Aoki's master and apprentice, and there was something new to see, so Rihachiro Sakanishi forgot to discuss with his teacher about meeting with the commander of the revolutionary army. The two spies figured together and guessed what the ship was for.

Aoki and his apprentices were happy to explore the secrets of the revolutionary party, and Wen Shude, who was locked up next door to them, wanted to cry without tears. After encountering the revolutionary gunboat and the Gangwon ship stood by, he understood Rao Huaiwen's plan to kill people with a knife, and he was extremely resentful at first, and then rushed the boat to the low and shallow place on the river in a rage, and then put up a white flag on the ship. Who would have expected that after the revolutionary party seized him, they were very suspicious of his behavior, and not only locked him up, but also asked him to write materials, in a beautiful name, and explain the problem. He Wen Shude is not bad at sailing, but writing materials will kill him, and he hasn't written a few pages for half a day. Even these pages are not the reason for the revolutionary party's surrender, but the constant description of how dark and authoritarian and corrupt the Navy is.

Officialdom is dark, in fact, the sailor division is even darker, and it is common for some unsociable non-commissioned officers to unexpectedly fall into the water and die, the entire Manchu Qingshui division is like a wooden sailing ship that has long been decayed and cannot sail far, tattered, foul smell, and rotten so that normal people can't stand it, and Wen Shude is a member of the group who wants to jump out of this wooden ship, since he can't create it, then choose to destroy him.

Wen Shude wrote without tears, next door to his room, a revolutionary young man named Xu Zhengshen wrote materials with great interest, he took the initiative to find it, after a conversation with the political commissar, now he can't wait to take out his heart and let the revival will come to test, he has long wanted to participate in the revival meeting, but he has been restrained by the family without such an opportunity, today the revival meeting finally came, he ran over regardless of a qiē, he only felt that this was his real new life, and just living.

One didn't know how to write, the other wrote with great interest, and Xu Chongzhi in the last room didn't want to write at all, he thought that if he showed the name of the League, the revolutionary party would immediately give him preferential treatment, but he found that this was not the case, in the final analysis, in fact, although he knew the organization of the League and knew the people in it, he was not a member of the League after all, and he did not understand the dispute between the League and the Revival Association. And the reason why he wants to say that he is a member of the League is that he hopes to be released by the revolutionary army on the premise of saving his life, and then go out to write a report on the bloody struggle and exhaustion of his retreat, so as to continue to mix in the Manchu military circles, he believes that the Fuxing Society will cooperate with him to perform this play well, but he doesn't want Fuxing to catch him, just let him write materials, which he did not expect.

Although Xu Chongzhi's family is poor, but his uncle Xu Yingqi did be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the reason why he has today is completely for this, since he can get ahead in the Manchu Dynasty, then the revolution can be put aside, of course, this is only temporary, and when needed, he can pick up the revolution again, such as now, such as the Fuzhou Uprising in Xinhai in later generations.

The prisoner camps were full of people and scenes, but none of them were the focus of attention on both sides. After eating two towns in one fell swoop, the Yanzhou base finally showed its crazy strength, and it was impossible to guess how the Manchus would react to this. (To be continued......)

PS: Note: Looking at the "List of the First Three Years of the China League", Xu Chongzhi is not listed, because Xu Chongzhi did not win the credibility of the theory that he joined the League in 1906, but believed that he joined the League in Xinhai because of the needs of the revolution.
