Chapter 259 Deadly Assault (3)

When the news of the death of Wanmuzhong and Wang Jinjing reached Feng Guozhang, Old Feng completely ran away. He frantically scolded everyone standing in front of him, and even Guo Songling was not spared. Everyone understood this very well. Before the battle started, the troops responsible for the attack were still marching, but they lost the two generals. No one would think that this was a sign of good luck. What's more, Feng Guozhang, who was under the huge pressure of gambling, was very taboo for gambling. Don't touch your head, don't pat your shoulders, don't see Shu, bald head and nuns. Zhao Zhao and others killed the two generals in one breath. This is not a problem of touching their heads, they were simply touching the tiger's butt.

Feng Guozhang became very ruthless because of this. He roared angrily: "Tell Wang Zhanyuan that all the officers of the Second Division will be demoted, so that they can make meritorious service. We must wipe out this rebel force," he said.

In fact, before Feng Guozhang could speak, the moment Wang Jinjing's sedan chair was hit by a mortar, Zhang Jiarui, the commander of the 6th Beiyang Infantry Regiment, who was riding on the horse, was broken. The chief of staff of the division and the brigade commander were easily killed by the enemy under his heavy escort. Should he be in trouble in the Beiyang circle in the future? So he went crazy at that time.

Zhang Jiarui didn't care about the bullets fired by the Youth Army at all. He jumped off his horse, pointed to the ambush point of the Youth Army and shouted at his adjutant: "You, bring me the guards company, and no matter what, take the commanding heights."

Then he shouted at the battalion-level officer whom he could find: "I'm done, you're done too. I don't care how much you pay, organize people and go around from the two sides. This young army must be eliminated. Hurry up, Shi Zhensheng, how did you open the way to reconnaissance? This will make me suffer."

It should be said that Zhao Zhao's idea was still very accurate. After the first round of attacks, he organized everyone to retreat. So the officers and soldiers of the Youth Army picked up their weapons, turned around and ran towards the top of the mountain. As long as they ran across the edge, it would be safe.

However, the Beiyang soldiers were obviously very experienced. They did not disintegrate after being ambushed, but organized firepower to hit the mountain. At once, more than a dozen soldiers who were trying to climb up were hit by the flying bullets, and their lives and death were unknown.

When Zhao Zhao saw this situation, he immediately organized seven or eight soldiers who had not yet evacuated, and used a heavy machine gun to shoot wildly at the Beiyang Army's firepower point. He knocked down four or five people in one round, and the Beiyang Army's firepower suddenly became smaller.

Zhao Zhao immediately stood up and ran towards the edge. At this time, a sinful stray bullet hit his back without bias. The bullet penetrated from the back and came out from his chest. Zhao Zhao immediately felt a cold all over his body, and the warm current of life was lost from his body.

The clerk Li Weidong was right next to Zhao Zhao at this moment. He quickly helped Commander Zhao up and ran away. Commander Zhao's blood kept pouring out like tap water in Anjiang's collective dormitory.

Seeing this, Wang Shuaiyu hurriedly rushed here, shouting, "What's wrong with Company Commander Zhao, what's wrong with Company Commander Zhao."

Li Weidong touched his nose and was exhausted. He shook his head sadly and told Wang Shuaiyu who was standing in the distance: Company Commander Zhao has gone.

Wang Shuaiyu was stunned. At this moment, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, the Beiyang Army's artillery opened fire, and a shell was landing less than a meter beside Wang Shuaiyu, and Wang Shuaiyu and three soldiers were killed on the spot.

Li Weidong saw this scene with his own eyes. His heart couldn't help but feel ache, his mind went blank, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Party representative,,."

Then he rushed over and hugged Wang Shuaiyu's bloody body and couldn't help but howl and burst into tears.

At this time, the Beiyang soldiers had already started charging, but Li Weidong suddenly realized that he was just holding Wang Shuaiyu and crying. The life of the past year and over was in his mind, as if yesterday.

At this time, Zhao Yong, the second platoon leader who turned back to check the situation, rushed back. When he touched the pulse on the company commander's neck, he had stopped beating. Zhao Yong sighed, bent over and rushed to Li Weidong, and shouted anxiously: "Li Wenshu, how are the party representatives?"

Li Weidong didn't say anything, and was still holding Wang Shuaiyu and crying. When Zhao Yong saw the situation, he reached out to touch Wang Shuaiyu's neck. Oh, it was gone. He looked at the Beiyang soldiers who started charging in the distance, and quickly patted Li Weidong on the shoulder and said, "Li Wenshu, go quickly."

Li Weidong ignored him at all. Zhao Yong pulled him a few times and didn't pull him. In a hurry, he knocked Li Weidong out with his pistol, and then dragged Li Weidong across the edge with the platoon leader Cui Fei and others who rushed over.

A week later, the youth army returned to this place again, but the body had been collectively handled by the Beiyang soldiers. Li Weidong and others could not find the bodies of Zhao Zhao and Wang Shuaiyu, and finally they could only use the clothes in front of them to build a tomb in their hometown. This battle was later reported to the General Staff and the attendant department by comrades from the Political Department of the Regiment Headquarters. After learning about this story, Wang Zhenyu waved his pen to build a martyr's temple. Tens of thousands of dead martyrs such as Zhao Zhao and Wang Shuaiyu were the first martyrs to move into the martyr's temple, and the second martyrs were Yue Fei and the others.

The Xiaotuanshan ambush was later proudly included in the war history of the First Division. In this battle, 121 Beiyang Army people were killed, including one lieutenant general and one major general; and more than 40 officers and soldiers of the 5th Company of the 103rd Regiment who participated in the ambush battle were killed, including more than 40 people, including company commander Zhao Zhao and party representative Wang Shuaiyu, who unfortunately died during the retreat.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company did not know that they had killed two generals of the Beiyang Army. They became depressed because they lost the company commander and the party representative. Several major officers and soldiers gathered together for a small meeting. According to the military regulations, Cui Fei was elected as the acting party representative and Zhao Yong was the acting company commander. In other words, the next team will be led by Zhao Yong.

Just when the Youth Army was having a great time fighting with the Beiyang Army in the front, the Beiyang Army in Sichuan, which had lost its support, made Cai E defeat the army. Cao Kun commanded the Third Division and other Beiyang remnants retreated to Hanzhong. On March 23, the National Guarding Army led by Cai E attacked Longquanyi not far from Chengdu. Seeing that the situation was too far away, the Sichuan Governor Chen Huan sent a telegram to declare Sichuan's independence and asked Yuan Shikai to abolish the imperial system and step down as soon as possible. According to reliable rumors, Yuan Shikai fainted after hearing the telegram and finally rescued him, but he still had two lines of old tears and was speechless.

At this time, two incidents of surprise attack occurred, one was the Kuomintang and the other was the Beiyang.

First of all, in Shanghai, the commander of the Beiyang Shanghai Shanghai, Zheng Rucheng, commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, was not assassinated in November 1915 due to historical deviations. As a result, the old boy commanded the Yangtze River Fleet to attack the Young Army's water supply line for the second time, sinking ten large ships at one time, severely damaging the Young Army's logistics supplies. Another time, he was unlucky and intervened by the British Yangtze River Fleet. As a result, he had to go home to Shanghai to rest and take a day to attack.

Recently, the Tongling front line was launched, and Feng Guozhang has issued the latest order, requiring Zheng Rucheng to attack again and cut off the water supply of the Youth Army.

At this time, Zheng Rucheng, who was worried about how to deal with British intervention, did not know that he had been targeted by the assassination king Chen Qimei.

On March 24, 1916, the Waibaidu Bridge across the Suzhou River on the Bund in Shanghai was coming and going, bustling and bustling. A luxury car was honking its horns, separated the crowd, and rushed towards the bridge. Zheng Rucheng wore a white feathered golden hat, a straight military dress and a number of medals on his chest. The person sitting on the left looked like an officer saying something to Zheng Rucheng, breathing a sigh of relief, quite proud, there were many people on the bridge, and the car slowed down and slowly sailed on the bridge. Suddenly A bomb flew in the sky, and a loud bang, breaking the rear wheel of the car. The car stopped abruptly. It was almost time for a young man to separate the crowded crowd, grabbed the window with his left hand, and fired several shots at Zheng Rucheng who was shocked in the car with his right hand. He suddenly burst out. Another officer in the car was also shot twice. After a brief riot, several bodyguards jumped out of the car behind the car, but were quickly blocked by another young assassin and quickly retreated.

The two assassins did not escape immediately after the incident. The young man who shot Zheng Rucheng looked at the white-feathered golden hat without any haste. Regardless of the other seriously injured person, he turned around and stood on the head of the Waibaidu Bridge and bowed to the onlookers: "When Wang Xiaofeng, Yuan Shikai usurped power and stole the country, and was the emperor. Zheng Rucheng helped Yuan do evil and crazily hunted and killed our party members. Now he killed them to eliminate the harm to the country." The masses realized that the deceased in the car was at that time. Zheng Rucheng, the highest military and political chief of the sea, the Shanghai garrison, Admiral and Lieutenant General of the Army, was just as Wang Xiaofeng scolded Yuan Shikai and Zheng Rucheng for his crime of traitoring the country, Yinghua police officers on both sides of the bridge rushed over and surrounded the two assassins. Wang Xiaofeng laughed loudly: "The business we are going to do is over. If we want to escape, we will have left long ago. Now we are waiting for you to come, why don't you come up and arrest us quickly?" After saying that, the two threw away their pistols and arrested them calmly.

After Zheng Rucheng was assassinated, the situation in Shanghai became more turbulent. For the youth army, the biggest benefit was that a few days later, the Beiyang Yangtze River Fleet collectively announced its return to Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Revolutionary Government.

Although Zheng Rucheng was just a naval general, his death deeply shocked the generals of the Beiyang, especially Feng Guozhang and others who were in the south. They actually felt lonely. Chen Qimei's action severely hit the morale of the Beiyang Army.

After Lei Zhenchun received this news, he decided to take revenge. The first step in this revenge was to order the capital's military and political law enforcement department to unconditionally launch the assassination plan against Wang Zhenyu, the Supreme Commander of the Tiger Youth Army, and implement it immediately.
