Even though there was a terrible massacre in West Lake, the tourists here remained unabated. With the rippling water of the lake, no matter how much blood was, it would eventually sink to the bottom of the lake, leaving nowhere... Read the latest and most complete novel, Nanping Mountain Leifeng Pagoda is one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. Whenever sunset is sunset, many tourists come here to visit. The Xizhao Temple next to Leifeng Pagoda is crowded with tourists, and the Baiyun Temple next to Xizhao Temple is also very lively. This place is the imperial garden in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the man from Baiyun was built. In the past few years, there was another Yuexia Lao Ren Pavilion here, and a statue of Yue Lao was erected. The couplet in front of the door: I hope that all lovers in the world will become relatives; it is a destined thing in the previous life, so don’t miss a marriage, which makes those foolish men and women very intoxicated. Since Yue Lao Pavilion is in West Lake, young men and women in Hangzhou came here to burn incense and ask for a good marriage, but every day in the evening, there are very few people coming here.

Before the evening class was still there, the abbot, Elder Zhiliang, was resting in the meditation room, but his disciple Yizhou hurriedly pushed the door in. Zhiliang didn't blame him and just asked, "Has the person come?"

"Yes, Master. The man is here." Yi Zhou put his palms together and bowed.

"Well. Then start the evening class." Zhiliang stood up and said, "The temple gate can be closed, and idle people cannot enter."

The abbot and the apprentice talked in detail in the inner room, but Yu Mengchun outside was very strange. This time he came to Hangzhou from the base to contact the underground organization in Hangzhou, but he did not want to be taken to Baiyun Temple. However, he knew Zhu Jiajun, who was in contact with him. Both of them were students from the martial arts school and had a good relationship with each other.

"Mei Huan, is it going to counterattack Hangzhou this time?" Even as an underground staff member, Zhu Jiajun was still young. As soon as he sat down, he asked about the war. In Hangzhou, he had seen more of the behavior of the Qing Tartars, and he was very anxious.

"I don't know." Yu Mengchun was not enthusiastic. Although he was happy to see his former classmate, he had already been reborn in the base area over time. "How many things do the shopkeeper have to tell you?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jiajun said, people came from the mountains, but there were important things, especially now that the Qing Dynasty was preparing for the next encirclement and suppression. He did not believe that the Revolutionary Army would not respond.

"Cut off Hangzhou's external telegraph lines." Yu Mengchun said: "The Telegraph Bureau must also completely destroy it, and the telegraph here must be completely paralyzed within at least five days."

It is not difficult to cut off the telegram line, and it is not difficult to destroy the telegram office. However, if you cannot send a telegram within five days in Hangzhou, the matter is not that simple. "Five days are too difficult, and it can only be two or three days at most. Even if you cut off more lines, the telegram office will still send someone to check the wires." Zhu Jiajun did not dare to make a promise, for fear of misleading a big deal.

"This is not just a matter of Hangzhou. It will also be done in Jiaxing, Jiashan, and Songjiang. The entire line will be destroyed. It will take five or six days to recover." Yu Mengchun said. "There are also ways to stop the horses sent out in Hangzhou. It is not allowed to pass by the north and south. Do you know which roads the fast horses will take?"

"There are only those roads that can be taken." Zhu Jiajun said. "But I'm afraid that these people are not alone but a group of people."

"Whether one person or a group of people are all stopped. As long as you do your hands and feet cleaner, you don't know that the fast horse in Hangzhou will be blocked, and you can push back at that time. I'll bring people. I can help you stop the enemy at that time."

"That's good!" Zhu Jiajun was overjoyed. Although there were revolutionary parties in Hangzhou and other places, he was not familiar with the war formation. Now that people came from the mountain, he was relieved. "Mei Huan, is it going to come here this time?"

"Yeah." Yu Mengchun smiled, "I'm going to have a big one!"

"Okay, I'll prepare the arrangements now!" Zhu Jiajun heard that he was going to have a big counterattack. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly. After he finished speaking, he said, "You should rest here first. The abbot of Master Zhiliang is a descendant of Lu Liuliang (the father of Lu Siniang) in Shaoxing, and he is very reliable. I'll make arrangements now and come again tomorrow." After that, he got up and said goodbye to go back to Hangzhou. As soon as Zhu Jiajun left, Yu Mengchun asked the accompanying correspondent to send a report to Tonglu to inform him that the previous point of Hangzhou had already been in place.

When the night was low, all the ready-made telegrams were sent to Tonglu, and the communication officer Yu Fen was heading to the war room with this stack of telegrams. The war room was having a meeting. Staff Zhou Sixu was introducing the situation of the enemy and our army. He knocked on the door gently. As soon as the door opened, the military staff Liu Yaoxun came out. He reported: "The teams in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Shaoxing and other places have all notified them. If you order them, you can immediately destroy the entire telegram line."

Liu Yaoxun nodded and took the telegram from him, saluted and opened the door and went in again. At this time, Zhou Sixu was talking about the important points, so he could only keep silent and wait for Zhou Sixu to finish speaking.

"...At present, our army is mainly in the Qing army, in Yaolin, Taiping (now Luzhu Town), and in Zhaixi, among which Yaolin and Taiping are the 10th town garrisons, and Xindeng County (now Xindeng Town) are its headquarters. Although some of the baggage is stored in Xindeng County, most of the baggage ammunition is the entrance of the opposite river. The narrow river is on the east side of the river, and the Sixth Town is the garrison. Because this place is relatively flat and there is no road behind, it is mainly recycled by water supply, so the defense here is the most tight. The reconnaissance found that not only trenches were dug, but also

Barbed wire. Moreover, this line of defense echoes the peace on the other side of the river. In addition, the artillery positions on the sandbank at the mouth of the Luzhu River can be regarded as iron walls. The town behind the Zhaixi River has been a place of commerce since ancient times. Now it is mainly the headquarters of the Sixth Town. Another cooperative in the Sixth Town is stationed here. A large amount of supplies that the Qing army encircled and suppressed this time were also stored here. Because our army has always had the habit of mountain detours, there were also many Qing troops stationed in Chang'an to the east of the Changkou, with a number of people of about one regiment, including a new army and a patrol team.

According to the intelligence, the Qing army was about to attack, and ships were recruiting everywhere along the river, and the New Army units were about to rest and replenish. The patrol team and civilians were also gathering in large quantities. This time, our attack will completely disrupt the Qing army's attack plan. However, because the enemy's materials and personnel have been replenished, it will not be beneficial to our army once the war is stalemate, so if we want to quickly break through the Qing army's defense line, we must quickly break the stubborn defense line composed of barbed wire mesh, trenches, machine guns, and artillery.

According to the experience of the Russo-Japanese War, in addition to civil and engineering approaching operations, it is also possible to bombard artillery to destroy the barbed wire mesh before the enemy trench. This time, our army's attack focused on quick battles and quick decisive operations, and civil and engineering approaching operations could not be carried out. The number of artillery units in the artillery units was very limited, with only four companies of field artillery and insufficient shells, so a small number of breakthroughs could be blown up, but if you want to break the barbed wire mesh on a large scale, you can only use a blasting tube to break the barrier..."

At the beginning of the war, the artillery was extremely limited. Even if more than 30 Krupp 75mm mountain cannons and field cannons of the Qing army were seized, they rarely fired because the shells were not available for supply. Only after the air supply was established last year, the shells were slightly more abundant. However, under normal circumstances, the 60 and 80 mortars were the main artillery. With the large number of curved cannons, the Revolutionary Army drove the Qing army out of Tonglu and once again expanded the entire base.

Mortars are useful in encounter wars, and they often catch the Qing army off guard, but during position wars, these artillery are not very useful, especially at the suggestion of Japanese officers. The Qing army everywhere began to use barbed wire as a protection. The emergence of this defensive weapon made the mortars even more useless. Even if they could blow up the Qing army, they could not break through the enemy's position defense. Fortunately, the revolution did not want to fight annihilation wars like before to obtain arms replenishment, otherwise this kind of turtle formation would be really difficult to start. This time, the attack on the Qing army was actively carried out in the army.

Most of the artillery were mobilized to Tonglu, and because there were not many field artillery, two field artillery companies were specially tuned from outside the pass. In addition to enhancing offensive firepower, they also mean to suppress the Qing artillery. The maximum range of the Russian 76mm field artillery can reach 8,000 meters, which is much larger than the range of the 75mm Krupp field artillery. However, there were thirty-six field artillery and eighteen mountain artillery in one town of the Qing army. Although the Revolutionary Army had forty-eight artillery, nearly half of them were mountain artillery. If the fire density was greater than that of the Qing army.

When Zhou Sixu talked about the newly issued blasting tubes, everyone here was suspicious. Everyone had experienced the barbed wire. Mortars were constantly blowing and big swords were also chopping. It was really annoying. Every time he encountered such a position, the troops often used engineer shovels to eat the enemy through urgent work. Of course, this was just with plenty of time, but under normal circumstances, they had no time. This time, they saw so many artillery being transferred to Tonglu, and everyone was still thinking of using artillery to break the barriers. Who knew that artillery could not count on it, but had to use the blasting tube that they had never played.

"Is that thing OK? Staff Officer Zhou." Zhang Gong, the brigade commander of the Second Brigade, asked. Before the Hangzhou was launched, he was the commander of the Third Regiment of the Independent Brigade. He was responsible for the attacks between Jinhua and Quzhou during the process. After the process, he had been defending the Qing army from Jiangxi in Quzhou. After Hangzhou failed, the troops retreated from Jinhua to Yanzhou. At the beginning of the reorganization of the base, the number changed to the Third Regiment to the Second Regiment. After the army was expanded, the army was the Second Brigade of the Zhejiang Front Army. He was a juren, but he was very good at chivalrous affairs in the martial arts world. Later, he became the president of the Longhua Association. When Zhejiang trained and recruited the party, he joined the revolution.

The blasting tube is the latest offensive weapon promoted by the General Staff. Its creativity comes from Yang Rui. After the test, the Northeast was pushed to the Zhejiang Front Army, hoping to use this to break the barbed wire of the Qing Dynasty. Because it was the first time to equip the troops, Zhou Sixu was not concerned about Zhang Gong's question. He smiled and said, "It can be done completely. This weapon has passed the test. The blasting players drawn by each department in the past two days have been concentrated training. The obstacles can be broken as planned during the attack."

Zhang Gong's troops suffered a great loss after taking barbed wire. He heard this and looked at the military governor Lin Wenqian next to him and asked, "Staff Officer Zhou, there is no joke in the army."

"Of course, there is no joke in the army. Although the blasting tube is new, it has been done in a complete experiment. As long as it is used properly, it can completely break the enemy barrier in actual combat. The blasting tubes equipped now seem to be too long and it is not very convenient to carry them." Zhou Sixu smiled and then introduced the combat plan this time.

"Because the battlefield is on both sides of the Fuchun River, our troops are deployed on one side, one brigade is responsible for the west bank of the river, and the second brigade is responsible for the east bank of the river. The specific tactics, Yaolin on the west bank of the river, Taiping and other places are all mountainous, so according to the previous mountain warfare tactics, small groups are multiple routes, avoiding the real and empty; on the east bank of the river, the four-kilometer-long defense line on the side of the river, in order to advance quickly, in addition to sending a regiment to make a roundabout attack, this defense line is prepared to break through from the front. For this reason, the army's

All artillery will be concentrated here to facilitate our army to break through the enemy's positions quickly. However, these artillery not only cares about the peace on the other side of the Zhai River, but also the support area for artillery." The artillery in the army is limited, so how to use artillery to the maximum extent is very important. The artillery deployed in the Zhai River and the peace on the other side of the river is a complete choice. Of course, this also means that the first and second brigades are not at a disadvantage. In order to obtain artillery support, the two brigades have looked for Lin Wenqian many times.

Zhang Gong was very happy to hear that all the artillery in the army were arranged in the Zhaixi River, but He Zhaoxian of the first brigade was not unhappy about it. There were not many artillery on his side, so the Qing army had a greater advantage in firepower. After Zhou Sixu finished speaking, he asked: "So how to deal with the Qing army gunboats in the river? As long as these gunboats are cruising back and forth in the river, Taiping and Zhaixi River are not easy to fight."

"This counterattack will be launched at dawn. There has been no war on the defense line recently. Generally, there are only two to three gunboats patrolling the river, and other gunboats are repaired on the shore. Once the attack is launched, the steam engines of these gunboats will be heated, and there is no hour to drive the battlefield. In other words, in the hour at the beginning of the war, we are only facing two to three gunboats. We can deal with these two or three gunboats. We have assembled two iron armored ships on the military industry. There are also artillery on it. Once the Qing army's gunboats appear, they can be eliminated. Then, when other Qing gunboat fleets come up, the artillery on the shore will no longer support the infantry attack and will aim at the gunboats in the river with all their strength. Even if they cannot be eliminated, they can also prevent them from plaguing our army's attack." Zhou Sixu said. Gunboats are the top priority of this attack and are also the main consideration for the General Staff to formulate this counterattack.

"Can our gunboat block shells?" He Zhaoxian had never seen his gunboat and asked again half-believingly.

"It's totally OK! You can see it on the day of the attack." Zhou Sixu said. After he said that, he looked around the people in the room, then looked at Lin Wenqian again, and nodded when he saw him, "Now order..." As soon as he said this, he heard the sound of chairs in the room, and all the generals and schools who were sitting stood up and stood attentive. "He Zhaoxian's troops in the brigade should make every effort to break through Yaolin and the two Qing troops' positions in Taiping, and capture Xindeng County with cameras. While capturing or destroying enemy supplies, he should guard the important road from Xindeng to Fuyang to make the tenth town

The second brigade Zhang Gong's troops should quickly break through the Qing army's defense line in order to quickly capture Changkou Town behind the enemy. In order to prevent the enemy from fully supporting the defenders of Zhaixi, they should use a regiment of troops to attack Chang'an from the east side of Zhaixi to restrain the enemy's troops to reinforce Zhaixi. When the entire army launches an attack, the gunboat troops should resolutely annihilate the invading enemy ships to ensure the safety of our army's wings. The above are limited to movement at 7:00 pm on March 2, and the attack will begin at dawn on March 4, and will be limited to capturing it before noon on March 4."

Zhou Si thought of a complete order, and the officers in the room shouted: "Yes." At this time, the military governor Lin Wenqian stood up and pressed his hands to let everyone sit down. "This battle is the first time our Zhejiang Front Army took the initiative to attack. Why attack? Everyone should know the whole story. What are the difficulties and our own shortcomings? You are also clear about it. This attack will not defeat the Qing army and make it unable to recover its vitality within a year. Then the base will no longer exist next year. Fast, accurate, fierce, and ruthless. This is the highest principle of this battle. All commanders and fighters must reverse the habit of being petty in mountain warfare, accumulate small victories to make big victories, and drive out the momentum of the Fuxing Army.

The Yanzhou base area can no longer hide its strength and rest. All the Manchu Tartars are now staring at this place. This time, there are 150,000 people encircled and suppressed people. Next time, twenty-five people may come to encircle and suppress them. We are not as strong as his intent as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only by fighting more annihilation wars and destroying the Qing army in a system, especially the new army, can we persist in Yanzhou until a few years later. The sixth and tenth two towns were destroyed many times by us, but they were not completely eliminated. After several supplements, we became lively again. This time, even if we fight for the remnants, we must eliminate these two towns into a system, so that there will be no new army on the eastern front of the Qing Dynasty. Everyone said, can this be done?"

It was okay if Lin Wenqian didn't say it. When he said that, he only raised the temperature in the house by ten degrees. After he finished speaking, the battalion commander of the brigade was flushed and his heart was beating wildly. He just waited for him to ask "Can you do it?" Everyone shouted loudly: "Can you do it!" The sound only shocked the house.

Seeing that everyone's energy was aroused, Lin Wenqian stopped talking, but just saluted the officers neatly. When everyone saw that he saluted, they also returned the salutes. Then they went out.

After more than twenty people left, Zhou Sixu took the telegram and said to him: "The telegram sabotage teams from all over the country are ready, and they just wait for the war to start to cut off the entire Zhejiang telegram line."

"Okay!" Lin Wenqian said: "Did there be any abnormal movements in the Qing army everywhere?"

"There is no abnormal movement. The 21st Mixed Association of Hubei New Army in Huizhou has just arrived and is resting on the spot to wait for subsequent military funds." Zhou Sixu said, "There are many revolutionary parties in this 21st Mixed Association, and many of us are there."

After hearing that the new army had many of their own people, Lin Wenqian smiled and said, "Can you show your righteousness in front of the formation?"

Zhou Sixu shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. I can only estimate the guns in the sky."

"I guess there are other arrangements in the General Staff." Lin Wenqian still smiled. Many of the new troops fighting against the Yanzhou Revolutionary Army were of their own people. However, the General Staff never let these troops make righteousness in front of the formation. The reason should be that after the layout was made. These people did not help Yanzhou very much. Not only did they not help much, Yanzhou even had to help them, that is, if there was an officer too loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary party in the new army colluded with the Revolutionary Army and only eliminated the person or their troops. However, they would have many help to their own teams. They advanced and retreated during the battle, like Westerners dancing, and were very cooperative. The purpose was to make their own people successful and promoted. The terrain was not familiar with, insufficient training, and digging pits with the same team, which only made the Qing army officers fear that when they went to the battlefield, fearing that bullets from where they would break their heads.

"Where is the Qing army opposite? Has the situation changed?" After asking the Qing army elsewhere, Lin Wenqian turned his attention to the enemy opposite. He had fought in the northeast of the position war. However, his subordinates were all from mountain warfare, and he was afraid that if the situation changed, his attack on Zhaixi would fail.

"As far as we look, there is no change." Zhou Sixu said, there is no revolutionary party in the Sixth Town, but there are spies in the Changkou and Zhaixi River. With the wireless telegram, any news will be uploaded immediately.

"Well, please inform me immediately if there is any change." Lin Wenqian reminded. "This battle is quite a bit."

When Lin Wenqian lamented that this battle was extraordinary, Zhao Guoxian, the commander of the Sixth Town, stood in the artillery battalion and sighed to Ma Liang, the sixth bidder of the artillery team, as well, "This battle was extraordinary."

Since Liangbi was defeated by the Sixth Town Commander, the Army Department dismissed him, and then Zhao Guoxian took over as the commander. Although there was no large-scale war after taking office, in a small-scale confrontation, Zhao Guoxian still found that the confrontation between the battalion and the battalion was completely suppressed by the opponent. Only at the level of the bidding association, relying on the firepower advantage of the artillery team, can he win. However, this victory only defeated the rebellion and could not annihilate them. For these vast mountains, he would never be able to escape the rebellion. The artillery team was the victory against the rebellion, so on the eve of the attack, Zhao Guoxian had to come here to take a look.

Ma Liang, the artillery team is so respectful to the adults. "Sir, please don't worry. As long as I am pointing at the muzzle, the rebellion will definitely be destroyed."

"Oh. A year ago, each department took care of its own interests and was unable to fight hard. Now the rebellion has become a powerful force, and it is not afraid of death. The tactics are extremely outstanding. I have to worry." Zhao Guoxian couldn't say that Yuan Shikai was suspected of having an affair with the rebellion, but he was not angry. When the rebellion was at its weakest, the fourth and eighth towns did not fight to the rebellion to the death, but instead raised the enemy and respected himself, which really made him resentful.

"Sir, don't worry too much. The riots are just showing off the power of small cannons. Now our troops have equipped them with these small cannons. At that time, wherever wild cannons cannot be shot, such small cannons can defeat the enemy." Sir resented that Ma Liang was not good at adding fuel to the fire, so he could only bring out some new weapons to make Zhao Guoxian feel at ease.

Sure enough, Zhao Guoxian heard this and said, "How powerful is this kind of artillery?"

"Sir, since it is a small cannon, its power is naturally not as powerful as a cannon, but it can hit places where the cannon cannot hit, so it can increase a lot of combat power." Ma Liang said with a wooden cannon with tight ropes. This kind of cannon is like the barbed wire mesh, and is also recommended by Japanese officers. It is exactly the same as the Japanese army used in the Northeast a few years ago - the sturdy short wood was hollowed out in the middle and then wrapped with layers of ropes. However, the shells refer to the Revolutionary Army, and the tail of the cannon has a tail wing to ensure the accuracy of the shelling.

"The rebellion is also such a cannon?" Looking at the wooden cannon in Ma Liang's hand, Zhao Guoxian was very confused and doubted the power of this cannon.
Chapter completed!
