1890 King of Southeast Asia

July 27, Wulongshan Fort.

"Captain, the scouts report that a battalion of new army troops are marching towards our unit. One hour ago, they arrived at Wangjiaji, 15 kilometers northeast of our unit." The chief of staff of the regiment hurriedly walked into the underground fortifications.

"You came so fast... cough! Captain Li, what do you think?" Hu Weijie, the commander of the 14th Regiment of the Revolutionary Army, coughed and looked at the deputy commander Li Zuowen.

Hu Weijie was an officer of the new army who rebelled in the three towns. Li Zuowen was an officer of the Revolutionary Army, and the chief of staff of the regiment was also from the Revolutionary Army.

"Does the commander want to attack?" Li Zuowen was stunned and looked at Hu Weijie.

Li Zuowen did not come here simply to seize power, but to observe Hu Weijie's reliability and ability. As long as Hu Weijie did not make mistakes, he would generally provide combat plans like the chief of staff.

After a few months, he would be transferred to other places to serve as the commander of the regiment or the chief of staff of the brigade - if Hu Weijie was finally evaluated as qualified.

"Brother has also been in the new army, and knows the new army's thinking. The enemy is numerous and we are few. They will definitely not think of attacking at this time." Hu Weijie said sincerely.

"Commander, we think your plan is feasible, but our mission is to defend the artillery position. The headquarters may not agree to our risky plan." Li Zuowen touched his chin and said.

Hu Weijie looked at Li Zuowen gratefully, and then looked at the chief of staff.

The chief of staff shrugged helplessly: "At most, we can send one battalion. We have to ensure the safety of the defense line. In addition, the transportation force is arranged to the mobile corps, and the large troops cannot move quickly."

"I'll call Commander Sun now!" Hu Weijie walked to the phone.

"Just use the name of the regiment headquarters!" Li Zuowen said while looking at the chief of staff, who nodded.

"Hello! This is the Wulongshan Front Command. Please help me connect to the headquarters... Yes! I am the commander of the 14th Regiment. I have something important to report to the commander. OK, OK...

...Hello, commander? Yes! I am Hu Weijie, the commander of the 14th Regiment. I proposed and the regiment headquarters decided to strike the vanguard of the invading enemy head-on...

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, it can also boost morale. OK! Thank you, commander! Yes! Yes!"

The call took more than ten minutes, and most of the time was wasted in transfer and waiting.

Jinling only has one transfer center and one device. Phones have to be used everywhere, and the waiting time is long.

"Huh~ The commander agreed to our battle plan!" Hu Weijie looked at the deputy regiment and the chief of staff with emotion and excitement.

"Agreed, then I will go to prepare. Time is urgent. Set off in the afternoon and launch the attack before tomorrow morning. Come back after the battle. How about it?" The chief of staff thought about it and made a rough plan.

"Good!"

………

At 9 o'clock in the evening of July 27, the 2nd Battalion of the 14th Regiment of the Revolutionary Army arrived at a small village less than three kilometers away from Wangjiaji.

Deputy regiment commander Li Zuowen led the team in person and rested in the village for six hours, setting up a temporary rear here.

At 4 o'clock in the morning of July 28, after a hurried breakfast, the 2nd Battalion set out and walked towards Wangjiaji.

It was the end of the month, and the moon was very stingy with moonlight. It was pitch dark. The 2nd Battalion walked very slowly to prevent the soldiers from falling behind.

At 4:40, the 2nd Battalion arrived at the outskirts of Wangjiaji, less than 500 meters away.

"The 2nd and 3rd companies will go around from the right and surround Wangjiaji. The 2nd company will attack from the enemy's right wing, and the 3rd company will attack from the enemy's rear.

According to the watch, it is now 4:51 in the morning. The attack is tentatively scheduled for 5:50. At 5:50, the three companies will launch an attack at the same time to ensure that the enemy is disrupted. Do you understand?" Li Zuowen said.

"Understood!"*3

"Move!"

The second and third companies hurried to the south of Wangjiaji.

Wangjiaji is a typical riverside market town. The town is not big, with only one horizontal and two vertical streets, and earth walls surrounding the town in the east, west and south directions.

There are two small docks along the river in the north, and no city walls.

The town is sparsely populated. Because they heard that there was going to be a war, those who had land and relatives in the countryside went to the countryside, and those who could not leave complained about the war in the town.

Because of the war, they lost their small businesses that they depended on for survival - people ran away, and no one bought things.

At 5:30 in the morning, the second battalion had completed the encirclement of Wangjiaji. At this time, the sky turned dark blue and the sun was about to rise.

The soldiers of the revolutionary army tried to hide in the dark or lie on the sides of the road to prevent being discovered by the new army in advance.

The places where they could lie on the sides of the roads in the rural market town were lush with grass and trees. After all, there was not much industrial pollution, and there were no big cars running around.

…

In the distance, on the small earthen wall of Wangjiaji, Erzhuzi was staring at the black shadow in the distance. He felt that the black shadow seemed to be moving.

“Erzhuzi, what are you looking at?” The old soldier Biaozi looked at the motionless Erzhuzi and turned over and climbed up.

“Brother Biao, I seem to see a black shadow moving.” Erzhuzi said honestly.

“Where is it?” Biaozi was startled and asked vigilantly.

“There!” Erzhuzi pointed to the only road leading in and out to the south.

“You little bastard~ That’s the only road, the road is empty, where does the shadow come from? It’s just scaring people…” Biaozi looked for a long time and didn’t see anything. He sat down and took out the pipe to light it.

“Erzhuzi, I guess the war will start in two days. You will have to go to the battlefield at that time. You don’t know anything. Going up is just looking for death, you know?” Biaozi said while smoking.

"Brother Biao Zi ..." Erzhu smiled with a glamorous smile, and he was going to squat.

"Don't! Don't come this set!" Biaozi raised his hand and blocked the second pillar.

"So, look at the two of us are the fellow villagers, give you a fold, five dollars, keep you." Biaozi smoked cigarettes and thought about it.

"Brother Biao ... I just sent it ... I gave it to you!" Erzhu took out five silver dollars from his pocket in pain.

"Hey! Rest assured, these five dollars, you don't lose money. Huhu!" Biaozi listened.

Erzhu is a new army that has just joined, belonging to the cannon fodder of the new army.

The newly built eight towns stayed in Zaiyu for more than a year, replacing the middle and senior officers with Man Gui, and these Manchu did not disappoint him, and controlled the newly built Eight Town in his hand.

Since Man Gui has been an officer, the tradition of Manchu cannot be lost. He wants to get oil and water, but the eighth town that has not been moved is not much oil and water, so you will pay for military expenses and eat empty!

The preparation of 12,000 people ate nearly 3,000 empty crickets, all of which were supported by other residual towns. They did not supplement.

Solding supplies are even more basic operations. Those who can sell them are all sold, and they cannot be sold. They have to sell them. There is no need to do so, expires invalidation.

Erzhuzi is a soldier or a veteran in the roster. Six and a half military soldiers (silver dollars) each month were sent to his hand.

Of course, this month is not available. The management is not given to him on the grounds that he was less than one month of soldiers. The veteran who is less than a month ...

There are no troops, and there are still some tolls. The double tolls of the army have brought him six dollars.

Hmm ... there is one piece left now.

Nympho

At 5.50, the shops had been opened early, and various hawkers also set up the stalls, chatted, and scolded this situation -mainly scolded the revolutionary army.

"What is that?" A hawker pointed at the west, and a red dazzling light slowly flew into the sky.

"Is it firework?"

"Strange, but the old age, who is so arrogant, play fireworks?"

Several hawkers were excited to communicate with excitement.

"I said it was not fireworks. Fireworks would explode.

BOOM!

The dense explosion sounded suddenly in the west of the town. Soon, the sound of explosion also sounded.

"The rebels are here!"

"Run!"

The hawkers hurriedly packed up and rushed to the house ...

Nympho

When the signal was raised to the air, the mortar of the west of the city came with a fast shot, and the soldiers also launched an attack.

The mortars flew very slowly. It took more than 20 seconds to fall around the "city wall" of the town. The thin layer of soil wall could not prevent the power of explosion at all, and it collapsed.

Because he did not know the defense layout around the gate, Li Zuowen covered the mortar to cover the city gate. There were only two new soldiers who had whistle. Well ... the end was not very good.

"Go with me!" Biaozi heard the explosion, a carp stood up, and he jumped out of the wall with two pillars.

"Explosion? The rebels came?" The second pillar reacted after landing, and quickly pulled the boring.

"Sand nose? You go with me!" Biaozi was about to run, but saw where Erzhuzi stunned.

"Go? Isn't that deserter?" Erzhu stunned, puzzled.

Determine is to kill! And, there is no pension!

Bang! Biaozi shot a shot at the sky.

"Well! We are worthy of the emperor, three dollars a month, what kind of life? To fight, it should be the old men to fight!

You are really hard to earn these five dollars! "Biaozi pulled two pillars and ran, and said while running.

"But ..." Erzhu was pulled and ran away, and his head had not responded.

BOOM!

I ran a few steps, and the mortar shells fell down, and they were seven or eight meters away from them. The two were very lucky and were not injured.

"Don't he, but it's so! You don't go, I'll go!" Biaozi was shocked and sent the hand of pulling the second pillar and running.

The enemy used artillery, this is a large -scale attack!

Erzhu was also awake, and ran forward without life. At this time, the explosion sounded densely, and Biaozi directly opened the door of the family on the side of the road and ran in.

Seeing this, Erzu also ran in.

"Biao ..."

BOOM!

The two pillars Biao did not shout out. A 60mm mortar shells broke through thatch, fell into the house, landed on the ground, and exploded instantly.

Erzhu only felt a gas wave cover his mouth, pushed him to the ground, and lost consciousness.

Before closing his eyes, he saw Biaozi, and Biaozi, who was cut by half of his head ...

Then, then
