"Boom!"

The sound of the rumbling aircraft engines coming from the sky was shocked by many birds. Although birds in the sky of the northern country were not common in this dry and cold season, the commander hurriedly brought a team of people to patrol and mentioned the news that Li Han's troops in Hubei had already rebelled. *In the panic of the defenders of the 12th Division, within a few hours, Xinyang had already fought and attacked Deng County.

Deng County is located at the junction of Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi. It is known as the "three provinces' pass" and the "southwest Henan gateway". Zhao Ti, who graduated from the Beiyang Wubei Academy at that time, was appointed as the general of the left army of Jiang Gui in the late Qing Dynasty and the general of the Hebei Town. Although he was still commanding the 12th Division with his old ideas, he was not completely unable to do anything. Since he was transferred to Nanyang to guard the southern Yu Road, he immediately transferred an infantry regiment to Deng County and arranged an artillery battalion, mainly to prevent Hubei. Unfortunately, under the bombing of the aviation squadron, he almost met. Before the infantry and chariot regiments were behind, the troops of the 12th Division lost most of the losses in the air raid and fled to Nanyang.[]

As they brought unfavorable news of the fall of Deng County, the 12th Division of Nanyang was restless and restless. Facing the aggressive national protection army, they were the first to bear the brunt of the enemy who could not resist in the sky.

Chen Guangbao, a young soldier of the 12th Division, was one of these many uneasy soldiers. In fact, he was still bandaged on one arm and was one of the defeated soldiers who had just escaped from Deng County. Because their regiment commander lost Deng County, the gateway to western Henan, and although they fled back to Nanyang, they were also kidnapped by Zhao Ti, who was very angry and frightened, and was shot in front of the army. At that moment, Zhao Ti, who seemed angry and frightened, also forgot that the regiment commander was his confidant and cousin of the concubine of Yifang.

The defeated army that fled back from Deng County was soon disbanded. Chen Guangbao and a hundred soldiers who were only slightly injured were arranged to a new organization. They had entered the position. All signs showed that the protection of the country would soon arrive in Nanyang and launch a general attack on the southern Henan region.

Chen Guangbao is now in charge of guarding the Wolonggang position west of Nanyang City. This Wolonggang is located on the south side of Baihe River and the north side of Zishan Mountain. The hills are undulating and circling, and are like Wolong. It is one of the gateways of Nanyang. This place, which was once a great sage, was once a seclusion of Zhuge Liang, but was built in half a year with the hands of Jin Yunpeng of the Fifth Division. The construction was slightly different from most of the world's defensive fortifications at this time. The place where Chen Guangbao is located

The front of the area is a few kilometers wide, with a deep trenches and a somewhat sparse barbed wire. Chen Guangbao once said in a chat that this tactic of digging trenches and pulling barbed wire came from the shameful Russo-Japanese War that started in the Northeast a few years ago. The war between the two world's strongest army countries since the new century has given birth to many new tactics. The Beiyang Army faced pressure from Japan and Russia directly, so it also learned a lot.

Wiping the rifle that had fallen off his hands, Chen Guangbao's hands kept shaking, and his pale face showed that he had not yet come out of the large bombing in Deng County a few hours ago. Although he didn't know why the guardians of Deng County had been captured and the army had not yet launched an attack on Nanyang, there was no doubt that the young Northern Army soldier who had witnessed the guardians and the mighty army had no expectations for whether the 12th Army could defend Nanyang.

Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Chen Guangbao suddenly found that the unfamiliar and familiar huge roar began to get closer and closer. With his face changed drastically, he suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw that a group of small black dots became larger and larger on the clear sky!

"Let's go down quickly, it's an airplane!"

He shouted in a hurry, and a series of dense sounds came over a huge roar: "Da~Dada~Dada~Dada~Dada~Dada~"

The few Maxim machine guns on the Wolonggang position fired. At this moment, Chen Guangbao knew that the Guardians who had captured Deng County had finally arrived and was about to attack Nanyang!

"Boom~~~"

Just as he nervously pulled the bolt and pressed the bullet, the dense high-explosion bombs in the sky began to fall, and the positions of the 12th Division of Wolonggang were filled with explosions.*. Extracurricular books

"Everyone is down, lie down. Their planes can't load many bombs, and they will pass in a while!"

Because the aircraft provided by France is obviously not as good as the aircraft sold to Li Han by "Germany" (the Beijing government believes), after only buying a few of them with France for training pilots, he never bought more aircraft. However, out of fear of the aviation power in Li Han's hands, Yuan Shikai still gave all the information related to the aircraft feedback from the Sixth Division to the following. So even the 12th Division, many officers were assigned to the relevant introduction.

Unfortunately, as they thought, the plane hovered over the Wolonggang position for about twenty minutes and disappeared into the distant sky. However, before the cheers on the position could sound, a sudden sound of fire was followed by an equally huge roar. After the roar, the Maxim water-cooled machine gun that had originally resounded throughout the sky disappeared, and then another rumbling sound came from afar.

"Oh my God!!!"

Amid the sparse gunshots, a scream that was not as good as a human could make suddenly sound. Chen Guangbao looked at the figure running quickly from the cross tunnel. As if he saw a ghost, he could deeply feel the horror in this sound. What should I see to scare a soldier who has been on the battlefield and has seen blood and killed people like this?

"Boom~~"

With the faint vibration, another strange cannon sound passed, and a huge roar came from not far away. Chen Guangbao carefully stretched out half of his head from the trench, and this time he saw clearly what a monster it was. Amid the huge roar, a black smoke appeared behind the monster, and in front of him, there was a round columnar tube. The armor made of steel bounced all the bullets fired by the soldiers without exception, leaving only the sparks generated by the collision between the bullets and metal.

"Boom~~"

As a columnar tube flashed through a fire, a sharp sound cut through his ears. At this moment, Chen Guangbao could feel the sound boom caused by the shells flying past, and then a huge roar came from behind. The next moment, he found a silence between the world, and even his companions who were talking to him loudly turned into mute.

He tried hard to push away a piece of earth pressing on his body. He saw that the monster that could fire shells had passed the trench where he was and continued to drive back. The chariot fired, and the machine gun roared "dada" or flew over the trench. Or accurately hit the unlucky guys who poked out the trench. "Boom" a bunker that luckily avoided the air strike was bombarded by the chariot, and another "boom" sound, and a relatively secret heavy machine gun position was blown into the air by the chariot shells.

"Xiao Wang, hurry up, there is a earth and stone castle in the direction of eight o'clock..." Zhang Zhizhong shouted loudly in the tank. Because the loud noise of the large-horsepower gasoline engine for the tank was very loud, all command commands had to be issued by shouting loudly. Xiao Wang was very calm and the turret turned slowly until the black hole was aimed at the target. This was a newly produced medium-sized chariot equipped with 37mm caliber guns (the one equipped with 8mm caliber Hatchkas machine guns is light). With a "clang", a 37mm caliber shell pushed the barrel. The gunner quickly fired the shells, and a "boom" sounded the original pile of sandbags and the heavy machine guns behind turned into ruins...

Zhang Zhizhong should be one of the first people to follow Li Han. His real name is Zhang Benyao. He was young from Jiangsu after the victory of Wushengguan in 1911 and followed many young people who supported the revolution to Hubei and Yingcheng. In the end, he accepted Li Han's personal reception with four or five others, and once became one of the young players trained by him.

Unfortunately, all of this changed after Li Han took over Sichuan as the governor of Sichuan. He was first promoted to Chief of Staff of the Regiment, but then he was transferred to Chengdu for Li Han's personal interview. After being sent to a desolate area in northeastern Sichuan for secret missions and became the commander-in-chief of a chariot battalion. For the past year, he had been signed by a confidentiality agreement and had heavy troops stationed around him, even returning home to visit relatives was strictly monitored by the military government.

Zhizhong once laughed at himself as a prisoner. Seeing that he had received Li Han's companion, Li Jishen and Wang Boling had become a general with heavy troops. Bai Chongxi and others also re-entered the Army Academy for senior general training because they were a little too young to convince the public. It is estimated that after completing the training, he would become the commander of the first division. Only he was thrown into a desolate place, and every day he was not only trained but also trained, which once made him wonder if he was forgotten by the military government and Li Han.

For this reason, he even changed his name to "Zhizhong" to show his ambitions, and advised himself that even the military government would forget him, he would not forget his dream of becoming a general when he was young (Zhizhong was assistant to the governor of the state during the Han Dynasty, and promoted to Sima Chong's post, second only to the third council, equivalent to the Minister of War in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the General of the Army in the Republic of China).

This time, he finally received an order from the military government to fight, which was undoubtedly an opportunity for Zhang Zhizhong, who thought he had been forgotten for a year. Therefore, the commander of his chariot regiment personally drove a medium-sized chariot and appeared in the forefront to command.

The chariots were getting closer and closer to the trenches. Following the guardians behind the chariots, the infantry of the army also followed the chariots with their waists. Although stray bullets from the opponent's positions were occasionally clattering on the chariots, the soldiers were not afraid at all. It was too reassuring to have such thick and rough things as shields as chariots. Although it was the first time to cooperate, the cooperation between the infantry and the chariots seemed very chaotic, but the 12th Division was not an elite army of great powers, so the soldiers of the 8th Division were under little pressure. Using the moving chariots as cover, they suppressed the enemy's positions, either using light machine guns to shoot or throw out a few grenades. If they encountered machine gun positions or fortifications that could not be suppressed by light fire, they would call the chariots to serve.

Chen Guangbao fell under such a wave of charges. When the chariot that was charging in the front rushed through the trench where he was, he had just exposed his head when he saw a soldier from the Eighth Division appearing in front of him with a bayonet.

"Snatch the gun and don't kill me, hold my head and squat down!"

So, before he came to his senses from the explosion, he almost subconsciously threw away the gun in his hand. Although he did not squat down with his head as required by the soldier, he had no weapons on his hand, so the soldier ignored him. Anyway, there were soldiers from the Eighth Division behind him, rushing to the Wolonggang position continuously, and the loss of the Nanyang Portal was already in front of him!

In the process of this kind of cross-cover and gradual advancement, the 12th Division of the Northern Army had only the ability to parry and had no power to fight back. Often, soldiers in the entire position surrendered or fled backwards. Or they were killed by the chariots in time because they were not evasive. Li Han attached great importance to the chariots. Therefore, the chariots produced by the military government were not as good as those produced by the special tracks or engines as the chariots in history. Although they were still malfunctioning due to the weak industrial foundation of the military government, they would not finally be like Britain in World War I, where only one-quarter of the tanks could be fully put into combat when they started the war.

A hazy tactic of cooperation between infantry and combat vehicles was also used in panic. In this tactic, the division of labor between combat vehicles and infantry is very clear. The former is an assault arrow, used to break through the opponent's defense and open an attack channel for the infantry following the ground; the latter's main mission is to clear away the remaining enemies, occupy positions, and consolidate the front...

In less than 20 minutes, the outer front of Nanyang collapsed completely, and the soldiers of the Beiyang Army fled to the city. Almost at the same time, the Eighth Division mobilized heavy troops to launch a strong attack on the Nanmen Gate of Nanyang and Zishan Cannon Battalion. The three units were like three pliers, making the defenders of the 12th Division of the Northern Army breathless.

Zhao Ti, the commander of the 12th Division stationed in the southern Henan garrison in Nanyang City, heard one bad news after another. First, in the early morning, Kaifeng and Deng County, the news that Li Han rebelled and raised an army to attack Henan and Deng County was captured. Then a few hours later, explosions and roars came from the line of Wolonggang, the gate of Nanyang. The subordinates brought the news of the protection of the country. Shortly after the news of the army launching a fierce attack, the outer positions of Nanyang were all lost, and the soldiers retreated to the city. Before he could come back to his senses, the people below reported in panic that the west gate and the south gate were bombarded by the protection of the country. The heavy artillery artillery fire of the army and the high-explosive bombs of the aviation squadron. The city defense soldiers either fled everywhere or became prisoners...

Zhao Ti was originally dreaming of reinforcements coming up and fighting back. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, the entire line of Nanyang was lost, and the enemy had attacked his home.

"Sir, let's go quickly. While our defeated soldiers are still resisting sporadically, there will be no time if they don't leave!" Zhao Ti's captain of guard shouted at the top of his lungs, "Protection of the country has already entered, and the southern Henan seems to be unable to defend it. If you keep the green mountains there, don't be afraid of burning firewood!"

"Yes, sir, you are the pillar of our old Yi army. As long as you don't fall down, we will always make a comeback, sir!" His confidant aide was also anxious, "We don't have to lose our life for President Yuan!"

Although Zhao Ti defected to Yuan Shikai, he was not from his direct line, and his direct line was not as good as his direct line. Now, seeing that Zhao Ti was relying on him to deal with various major forces to ask for a price, the 12th Division was in great danger, and the few were frightened and did not care whether there were outsiders around him at this time, and even said such ruthless words.

Zhao Ti listened to the sound of explosions getting closer and closer. He knew that the country's protection army had entered the city. If he didn't leave, he would probably have no chance. Seeing that his 12th Division, who was about to suffer a severe injury in Nanyang, his eyes were about to split and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Li Yizhi, protect us, let's go and see!"

He didn't care about burning some confidential military documents from the mansion. At almost his order, the entire Henan-south guards quickly lost their master, leaving only the two teams left outside the mansion who were still left without knowing that he had fled were still worried and afraid.

"Reporting the division seat, our army has entered the city!" The messenger rushed to report quickly. Ma Rongcheng took out his pocket watch and took a look at the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Transfer my order to quickly control the Nanyang City Central Telegraph Bureau, Police Office, Tax Treasury, Military Barracks, and General's Mansion!"

"yes!"

Soon another staff member who was still possessing some burnt ash on his body came on a horse, "Report the head of the division, the guard general's mansion has been captured, and no commander of the 12th Division was found!"

"Isn't it?" Ma Rongcheng was a little disappointed. "It's reasonable that he ordered the aviation squadron after completing the supply to continue searching in Fangcheng, and ordered the 22nd Brigade to chase and annihilate the remaining enemies, take the opportunity to take the Fangcheng, and then transfer to rest and recuperation after summoning the two counties in the south; some of the troops entering the city quickly cleared the enemies in the city and cleaned the battlefield; the chariots and artillery battalions gathered their troops to prepare for supply and maintenance; after resting until three hours, they rushed straight to Ruzhou, and targeted the Fifth Division..."

"yes."...
