The second fleet "Fei Ting" wooden cruiser outside Shanghai Port.

There was a sign with the captain's office hanging at the door of the captain's office, "There is no place to go, and no one is allowed to enter". Of course, if you want to do something shameful, this sign is naturally inevitable.

The captain's office originally had a table with the navigation chart. The navigation chart was gone, and dozens of cards and a large number of bargaining chips were scattered on it. Chen Fangren, the deputy chief of the Dingbian Army, smiled wickedly and said to Fu Sbo: "Sbo, let's get to this day!"

Fu Sbo's face turned red, and he could smell the smell of alcohol without opening his mouth. He said with his tongue: "This is not possible. If your brother wins, run away. What's this? Keep going!"

Lu Da, who was full of bitter face, lowered his head and shuffled the cards there. He heard this and said, "Old Fu, spare him! It's rare that Fang Ren has touched a few good cards!"

Opposite Fu Sbo was a burly man with round waist and thick waist. This man was the captain of the "Fei Ting", but he gave him a very feminine name called Hua Yueying. He spoke in Fu Sbo's tone: "Everyone, let's have a few more games!"

Fu Sibo continued his big tongue and said, "Fang Ren, give the old Fu a face! Keep playing for a few games!"

To be honest, he just didn't want Chen Fangren to get a handful of money and left today.

It’s not because he lost a lot today. In terms of winning or losing, these two guys from the Dingbian Army have lost more than they win or less. Lu Da simply lost most of his wealth, and he made the most profit.

Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao has been paying the troops in truth in the past few months, and everyone has been running around in the wilderness and has no time to spend money, so the two Dingbian Army still have that little savings.

But what called Fu Sibo was that when these two guys first got on the boat a few days ago, they couldn't even tell the difference between cards. They were the first-class Yang Gu. They played very well today. Chen Fangren's card skills were even more diligent and quick, and he won a lot of money today.

When Fu Sbo thought of this, he felt uncomfortable. He said, "Fang Ren, everyone will continue to bet, otherwise you don't want to take away the gift of the boat!"

This hit the key point of Chen Fangren and Lu Da. When the fleet was staying in Shanghai to add coal and water, it happened to meet a transport ship sent by Xiao Diji. The captain said that Xiao Diji heard that Liu Jingxiao went south and gave him a "meeting gift".

This "meeting gift" is very rich, with four twelve pounds of mountain grenades, each with 100 bullets, 250 new Minnie rifled guns, and 50,000 Minnie bullets, all of which are things that can't be bought with money.

Of course, weasels always pay New Year greetings to chickens with sincerity. Xiao Diji recently created a group of strong men in Fujian, but these strong men were too weak, which made him faint.

He thought of the generous and tragic people from Suduo, Hebei, but as soon as he spoke, he was pushed back by the Zhijun. The Zhijun has been busy expanding the troops recently, and there is not enough for him to strengthen the men.

He could only hope that Liu Jingxiao could get him some Hunan and Hubei children in Lianghu, so he specially gave him such a generous gift.

So when Chen Fangren thought of this arms, he immediately stopped and Lu Da said, "I don't have much gambling!"

There is no way, now the gamble is getting bigger and bigger. When we first got on the boat, we bet on five cards for one cent. Now we have already played one card and two cents. Chen Fangren has always been smart, and has made a lot of money. He brought some public funds to temporarily move it. Finally, he has a gambling bill of two or three thousand yuan.

But Lu Da is usually an honest person, only knows how to save money and not increase revenue. The total money he brings is only about 100 yuan, and he has lost more than half of it these days.

When Fu Sbo heard this, he shouted: "What are you afraid of! You are just using these two revolvers as a gambling book!"

Lu Da didn't say anything, but took out the two revolvers given by Liu Jingxiao on his waist, took off the bullet and placed it on the table, and took down the saber and some valuables on it, which could be about 600 or 700 yuan. Fu Sbo laughed, grabbed two chips and placed it in front of Lu Da, and praised loudly: "Good brother!"

Chen Fangren also sat down again, grabbed a handful of chips and placed them in front of Lu Da, and shouted to Fu Sibo: "Then bet bigger! Brother Fu, how about we have two dollars for one card?"

The most friendly relationship on the gambling table, Fu Sbo was also very enthusiastic: "Fang Ren, bet with me! Two dollars is not enough, let's be generous, ten dollars a piece! Seeing that there is no ship, I tell you two, in addition to the gifts given to you, there is also an arms for the First Fleet. If you have the ability, you will win over that batch of arms!"

Hua Yueying heard that her face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Commander Fu, that's..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Sifu: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just that you have 60 or 70 guns missing? I'll just deal with Lao Xiao. As for Commander Huang of the First Fleet? My friendship with you is extraordinary! Will you come?"

Chen Fangren immediately agreed: "Come! Come! Come!"

While talking, Lu Da, who had washed his cards there for most of the day, quickly sent them out.

Hubei, Wuchang, Hubei Governor’s Office.

Wang Zichun said loudly with anger on his face, "Damn it! How did Liu Jingxiao and Zhou Zaizhi command the two buckets? He actually fought such a big defeat for me!"

On his desk, there was a telegram from the Hunan Army from Qingjie and a telegram for help from Liu Jingxiao in the name of Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao was recommended by Ding Chong, so Ding Chong's face was not good either. Just as he was about to persuade him, Wang Zichun scolded loudly: "I want to go to Yangloudong to supervise the battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen concubines cried and persuaded Wang Jueshuai to take care of himself. What if he made mistakes, what should he do if these women were to do?

Ding Chong also advised him a few times, and Wang Zichun immediately made a plan to kiss him on the front line again.

Wanyan Yuzhuo was still calm down. He won the battle and asked for supplies, and he was also convenient to defeat the battle. The only problem was that Chen Fangren and the others had not arrived in Wuhan yet.

Wang Zichun asked again: "Where will Cheng Yune travel be? When will he arrive in Wuhan?"

Now he keeps away from Cheng Yune's three sentences, just waiting for Cheng Yune's first mixed journey to arrive in Wuhan soon.

Baoding Railway Station, Hebei.

Cao Ming looked loyal and kind, took Chen Yunjie's hand and sent it to the train enthusiastically. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind him: "This time you go to Hubei, you are in charge of the troops! We are aiding Hubei, not aid..."

The following words contain countless meanings, and Chen Yunjie couldn't help but laugh: "When Brother Zichun's general is doing a long enough job, he should have taken a step forward!"

Xu Youzheng, who saw him off, also sneered: "Prime Minister Duan is also looking forward to Zichun's official fortunes rising step by step."

Chen Yunjie and Cao Ming suddenly burst into laughter. They thought to themselves, this is really a battle between snipes and clams, and the fisherman is profitable!

Xu Youzheng, who was on the other hand, also sneered inwardly: "The mantis always thinks that he is the oriole, but the real oriole will never be so proud!"

The Hunan-Hubei border, the General Headquarters of the Hunan Army aided to Hubei.

The fat man Lu Dangping was proud and looked at the brave generals under his command and became more courageous. He spoke, "Tell everyone a good news, the Sichuan Army has officially sent troops! They will go down the river and attack Yichang!"

The officer below shouted constantly, but felt that this was normal. The civil war between Sichuan and Sichuan was not over. These Sichuan soldiers had been trained by endless civil wars to develop a secret Sichuan and Sichuan skills that changed their faces. They were best at "dragging" techniques. They would never take action before seeing the bones. Their favorite was the tactics that were not as good as they could.

However, now the Hunan Army has greatly defeated the Hubei army. The Sichuan Army feels that the time is almost the same. There are no troops on the front line of Yichang, so they lead their troops down the river, which is just convenient to seize the territory of western Hubei. Maybe there is still a chance to ride the wind and go straight to Wuhan City.

Of course, everyone is very welcome to the Sichuan Army, after all, the more friendly troops, the better.

However, when the fat man Lu Dangping saw that there was no big response from the gang below, he spoke loudly: "Today, the entire division is heading to Yangloudong, Zhao Liqiao will attack! Don't retreat like the first division yesterday! I only want Yangloudong! I don't believe that our second division has nine brigades, and we can't take the positions guarded by two regiments!"

The following cadres were extremely welcomed by this news. The following cadres were excited and shouted: "Teacher Lu beats! The commander of the Third Brigade kills! Kill Yangloudong into a river!"

Yangloudong front line.

The sun rose very early today. Before eight o'clock, the ground began to look a little hot.

The Hunan Army had no movement, and even the normal small troops were not sent to harass him, but everyone knew that this was just an illusion, and there would be an unprecedented fierce battle today.

Taking advantage of this leisurely skill, Guo Junqing quickly asked the baggage troops to distribute ammunition to the companies again. Considering that today's battle is very intense, it is very likely that she would not be able to deliver supplies. Therefore, she also specially stored a lot of dry food and boiling water on the front-line fortifications.

Liu Jingxiao was also very busy. After Zhou Zaizhi died in battle, Liu Jingxiao took over the command of the Zhou regiment. As for the successor, the officers of the Zhou regiment could not recommend a perfect candidate, so Liu Jingxiao had to put it aside for the time being.

He sent engineers to bury all the mines, and then asked the engineers to repair the fortifications with all their efforts and set up a large number of obstacles.

"The enemy is moving!" I don't know who shouted, and then more than a dozen teams of Hunan Army vanguards rushed over, each team of forty or fifty people, all of which were all in one-colored straw shoes and hats.

The best mountain infantry since the Republic originated from Guangxi, and Guangxi and Hunan had a deep relationship. The Great Guangxiism regarded Hunan and Guangdong as a colony of Guangxi.

The Hunan Army was also deeply influenced by the Gui army. They were both of the same colored shoes and hats as the Gui army. They were fast and fast, and the unparalleled bravery of the Hunan people, they were indeed one of the strongest strong troops in the world.

The artillery of the Hunan Army had not opened fire yet, so the artillery of the Mengding Kingdom naturally did not speak. The God of War was not very interested in such small-scale battles.

The Hunan Army quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain, but it was still outside the range of the grenade throwing, so the Hunan Army aimed at the rifle and opened fire. However, the Hunan Army acted quickly like a mountain monkey, which was really difficult to hit. Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao's Dingbian Army was equipped with many rifled rifles, with a long range and a hit, but hit several Hunan Army.

However, the Hunan Army was really brave and did not make any sound after being shot, and most of them continued to rush. Liu Jingxiao was amazed on the position and used a telescope to observe the situation of the Hunan Army.

The fat man Lu Dangping still went to the front line to supervise the battle. He was a tiger general who was really working very hard. The Hunan Army gathered into a battalion and company formation to prepare for the assault, but unfortunately the assembly area was beyond the range of the Mengding country's artillery.

However, soon, the Hunan Army found its weakness in the Hubei Army, which was an isolated frontier mountain and could not receive much support from nearby positions.

This frontier position was guarded by the Second Company of the Third Battalion of Zhou Zaizhi Regiment. This company suffered heavy casualties yesterday, with only seventy or eighty troops left in the entire company. Seeing this, the Hunan Army concentrated three commandos to rush forward to attack, while the rest of the commandos involved the reinforcements of the Hubei army.

The Hunan Army's commando also strengthened some of the precious combat engineers. These engineers were extremely brave and quickly eliminated mines and obstacles along the way. Soon, the three commando teams were on their way and soon attacked to the top of the mountain.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company were also extremely brave. Seeing that the Hunan Army was about to attack the top of the mountain, they stopped loading bullets, and directly grabbed the grenades and threw them down desperately.

After a piece of gravel and shrapnel, the three commandos were killed and injured, and were suppressed by the Hubei army and could not attack upwards. The Hunan army used their proud routine and desperately threw small red grenades.

The result of the fight between the two sides was that they suffered heavy casualties. However, the Hunan Army quickly threw away the grenades they carried and was suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads.

Some Hunan troops showed their incomparable courage, carrying boxes of grenades, panting to the fire in the rain of bullets. The Hunan troops received support from grenades and their morale was greatly boosted. After throwing two rounds of grenades, they rushed to the top of the mountain with shouting.

Seeing that the front army was attacking, the Hunan Army, who followed, were not polite, they set up three battalions and set out along the front positions of the three commandos.

Mengding's artillery finally showed its might. Twelve artillery fired in one fell swoop. With the whistling of shells, the shells caused considerable casualties in the Hunan army.

However, the power of the grenade was slightly smaller, and all three shots were missing. The Hunan Army ignored this shelling and showed no sign of lying down and rushed upwards.

They knew that the artillery soldiers of Mengding had no chance to open fire again for at least one minute. At this time, the hand-to-hand combat on the mountain had reached a heightened level. The total number of officers and soldiers in the Second Company was only about twenty, and most of them had already been marked. They shouted and pushed the bayonet into the body of the Hunan Army. The Hunan Army also responded without hesitation.

However, the Hunan Army suffered heavy casualties during the attack. There were only about 30 people rushing to the top of the mountain, and only eight or nine were left in the fierce battle. They formed a circle and fought to the death with the Hubei Army.

The second echelon of the Hubei army had already rushed to the hillside, and the mountain seemed to be about to fall. At this time, the remaining officers and soldiers of the second company shouted: "Kill!!!"

Then the officers and soldiers rushed up desperately. After a short battle of death, twenty more corpses were added on the ground. The remaining E army picked up the grenade and pulled the fire and threw it down.

The first battalion of Hubei troops was already close, and they could rush up the mountain in six or seven steps.

The grenade caused considerable casualties in the Hunan Army, but the subsequent Hunan Army raised its guns and fired. After a dense raft of guns, almost all the Hubei Army fell in a pool of blood. However, at this critical moment, the Hubei Army's reinforcements had already rushed to the top of the mountain.
