Wuchang Wharf.

Fu Sbo and Hua Yueying both cried and looked at Chen Fangren and Lu Da’s joyful appearance, and couldn’t help but complain to each other.

When Wanyan Yuzhuo heard that they had arrived, he rode a fast horse and brought a few left-behind cadres to welcome him. As soon as Chen Fangren and the others got off the boat, Wanyan Yuzhuo took Wang Lie, Bai Siwen and the others greeted him loudly.

Hua Yueying was scolded by Fu Sibo for a few words, and finally said, "S Fu, you still have to blame yourself for this matter! Who told you to lose all your public property..."

Fu Sbo got angry as soon as he heard this. He hugged his fists and said loudly: "If you hadn't lost, you would have borrowed sixty rifles from me...that wouldn't have become like this...I've advised you not to play so crazy!"

Hua Yueying also complained: "I'm not half of those sixty guns... But those four naval grenades... and those two hundred and fifty guns... aren't they all lost..."

When he heard this, Fu Sbo could only slap his thighs in regret, and said in a sad face: "Now, why do I explain to Lao Huang... such a large piece of arms..."

Hua Yueying also said with a sad face: "Old Huang is okay, but what should we do with Lao Xiao..."

Fu Sibo looked at the Dingbian officers and soldiers who were carrying arms on the shore happily, and suddenly had an idea. He clapped his hands and said, "I have it!"

The front gradually stabilized, and the Hunan army that had attacked Zhao Liqiao only occupied half of the station, and was beaten out by the defenders several times.

The Dingbian Army also had no spare troops to fight back. If it weren't for Liu Jingxiao's main force returning to the rescue with the cavalry battalion, Murong Xuehai also sent a company to support him, Liu Jingxiao's headquarters might have been taken down.

The two sides formed a confrontation, and neither of them was willing to charge first.

About two battalions of the Hunan Army participated in this infiltration battle, and there were many casualties during the attack, and Liu Jingxiao's troops also suffered heavy casualties. What both sides had to do was to build fortifications and count the casualties and prepare to deal with the opponent's next attack.

The Hunan Army immediately asked for help from the Hunan Army base camp, but Liu Jingxiao finally had reinforcements. Wanyan Yuzhuo sent a telegram from Wuhan and said, "Chen Fangren, Lu Da and others led their troops to arrive and come to the Hunan-Europe Railway immediately..."

Chen Fangren and Lu Da's troops have more than 800 people, and as long as they arrive, they have a great chance of winning.

The battle on the front line of Yangloudong also stopped, but although the gunfire did not stop, it had become sparse. The "boom-boom" gunfire did not stop. It was the artillery war between the artillery soldiers of Mengding and the Hunan Army artillery soldiers.

Liu Jingxiao was thinking while staring at the map. Guo Junqing knew that he was very tired these days, so he nodded at Liu Jingxiao and said, "You have a rest, I will take care of everything!"

Usually, Guo Junqing rarely commands the battle himself, but this time the battle command of the third company defending Zhao Liqiao was Guo Junqing's full command. She just arrived at Zhao Liqiao with a baggage company from the rear to transport supplies, and then she caught up with the battle.

Guo Junqing is a very outstanding staff talent, but judging from this battle, he is quite competent as a commander, but Liu Jingxiao still hopes that she can be her chief of staff.

When he heard Guo Junqing's words, he stood up, stretched, walked behind Guo Junqing, looked at his snow-white and delicate neck, and thought to himself, and his two big arms wrapped around Guo Junqing's jade neck, leaning against Guo Junqing's back.

Guo Junqing never expected that he would do such a close act. He wanted to struggle but didn't know how to struggle, so he could only let Liu Jingxiao do it. Liu Jingxiao did not move further, but just leaned quietly on Guo Junqing's back, breathing her unique body fragrance, enjoying the tranquility rare in the battlefield, and finally said: "Junqing, when will we get married?"

Guo Junqing blushed, turned her face and asked a playful word: "Is it a formal proposal?"

Liu Jingxiao nodded, and her tone was very gentle: "Marry me!"

Guo Junqing leaned back his whole body and said, "I want to marry me, but I must first leave your jade carving..."

Before Liu Jingxiao could speak, Guo Junqing had already laughed like a silver bell: "Scared you... After this battle, buy me a ring... I will consider it later..."

She agreed implicitly, and Liu Jingxiao was ecstatic and hugged her up suddenly. Guo Junqing lost her usual heroic spirit and let her control everything.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. At this moment, dense gunfire sounded again.

Liu Jingxiao had no choice but to put down Guo Junqing, who was also full of joy, and rushed out with her to command the battle.

The first to come to aid were the reinforcements of the Hunan Army. The troops were not large and there was only one battalion, but this was enough to allow the Hunan Army to launch an attack.

However, they made little progress, and people were in good spirits when they were happy. Liu Jingxiao was very hard-working. The Hunan Army suffered thirty or forty casualties, but they only advanced more than ten meters.

Less than five minutes after they participated in the battle, a train roared towards this side. Liu Jingxiao is now particularly sensitive to the train, and his intuition told him that the train was Chen Fangren's troops that he was looking forward to day and night.

Sure enough, when the Zhaoliqiao Station was approaching, the train suddenly stopped. Before the train could stop, the officers and soldiers in Hubei uniforms rushed down and rushed towards this side.

Seeing this situation, the Dingbian Army shouted: "Reinforcements are coming...reinforcements are coming." They rushed out of the fortifications to counterattack. The reinforcements also rushed into the town from the flanks. The Hunan Army was attacked from both sides and was very passive.

Just as they were about to occupy the fortifications and defend the battle, a few loud noises dispelled their thoughts. Several large artillery shells caused the temporary civil fortifications built by the Hunan Army to ashes. When they thought that the other party had heavy artillery to help with the battle, the Hunan Army immediately implemented the best strategy.

However, their nightmare was not over yet. They had just run out of the town. The cavalry company that had just been unfolding had already been chasing and chasing them all the way, killing the remnants of the army.

After winning this big victory, Liu Jingxiao hugged the comrades who were coming and intimate. When he slanted his eyes, he saw two very strange officers, wearing white naval uniforms, both naval officers, with a bitter look on his face. He was standing with Lu Da. He didn't know what to say, and hurried over and asked, "Lu Jingxiao, are these two?"

A short officer quickly introduced himself: "I am Fu Sbo, the commander of the Third Squadron of the Second Navy."

After introducing himself, Fu Sbo pointed to the officer beside him and said, "This is my captain Hua Yueying!"

Hua Yueying? Liu Jingxiao can't associate this name with this burly man with round waist and thick waist. However, when he thought that Xiao Diji had indeed helped him a lot during this period, he quickly became polite: "Welcome! Welcome! Commander Xiao and I are always in love... Come... Come..."

As he said that, Liu Jingxiao took Fu Sbo's hand and said, "Brother, the conditions here are not good, but you can still make some food... Commander Fu, and the Yueying brothers... go in and have two drinks..."

He himself can't drink, but he has all the cadres from the Dingbian Army to do it for him. But Fu Sbo really doesn't feel like this. He hesitated: "Brother, I have something to do and I want to ask you for help..."

Liu Jingxiao patted her chest and warmly treated the two naval officers: "Brother Fu, don't worry... It's just that I, Liu Jingxiao, can do it for you..."

Lu Da interrupted: "Teacher Commander, these two brothers have helped us a lot... This time Commander Xiao is very friendly and sent four 12-pound mountain grenades and two hundred and fifty rifled rifles over. The ammunition accessories should be complete. We received this arms in Shanghai..."

As soon as he got ashore, Wanyan Yuzhuo informed them of Liu Jingxiao's generous treatment in Hubei. The officers and soldiers praised Liu Jingxiao for her great eyes and the prospects of Dingbian Army, so Lu Da changed his words and said, "Team Commander."

Wanyan Yuzhuo added a baggage and clothing to Chen Fangren, but they didn't let them stay for long, even their military uniforms were changed on the train.

After stopping for a moment, Lu Da continued: "I didn't expect that along the way, Commander Fu heard that we were short of arms, so he gave us four twelve-pound naval howitzers and 25 rifled rifles... He was really a great man..."

Great man... Big Yanggu is almost the same!

Lu Da was not good at speaking, so Liu Jingxiao felt very clear in his heart. Chen Fangren, an old gambling ghost, pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and killed another big fat fish...

But the Second Fleet is really too bold. You dare to take out so many new arms to bet...

However, Liu Jingxiao's thoughts quickly went to another side.

Four twelve-pound mountain howitzers? Four twelve-pound naval howitzers? Plus five hundred rifled rifles?

Good stuff! Good stuff! Really good stuff! If you have these goods, it will be easy to see how proud the Hunan Army can be, but it is not too late. He welcomed these two suckers in his heart, hugged Fu Sbo's body, and said kindly: "Sbo... let me tell me what's wrong..."

Fu Sibo was embarrassed by Lu Da's words and said hesitantly: "We Commander Xiao is now looking forward to you sending us a strong man day and night, so I would like to ask my brother to help..."

In fact, he is much older than Liu Jingxiao. He just stabbed a big missed child and had to win over Liu Jingxiao with all his strength. Liu Jingxiao now has no strong men, only the Hunan Army captured sixty or seventy people, most of whom were wounded, but he was an expert in writing blank checks. He guaranteed Fu Sbo and said, "Sbo... All this is included in us... Come on... Brothers, go to have dinner first..."

The more polite Liu Jingxiao was, the more embarrassed Fu Sibo was. He said: "Of course... we are responsible for the escort of the squad. As long as you hand over the squad to me... This time we brought an infantry company and two hunting soldiers here..."

He also brought the troops here? This is better... You don't need to go to the front line, Zhao Liqiao's defense depends entirely on two people...

Fu Sbo and Hua Yueying had no intention of having a meal. In order to reassure them, Liu Jingxiao immediately sent a telegram to Taiwan's Second Fleet Xiao Diji.

Of course, the process needs to be modified. This arms were given to the Dingbian Army because of "friendly troops were in trouble and had to be rescued...". As for leading troops to participate in the Hunan-Hubei War, it was "following the commander's instructions and going to the front line in person..." Of course, "collecting strong men and strengthening the army" must be written.

Xiao Diji's reaction was quick. Two hours later, he sent a reply call, which scolded Fu Sbo and Hua Yueying so hard that their heads were bleeding, but finally said: "Collection of soldiers and atone for their sins..."

Fu Sbo and Hua Yueying finally felt at ease for a while, so they asked Liu Jingxiao for a large number of strong men. Liu Jingxiao immediately handed over sixty or seventy Hunan Army prisoners to their care. The two of them were suddenly discouraged. Liu Jingxiao cheered them up at this time and said, "It's okay! It's okay! I just started a war with the Hunan Army, and there are so many prisoners behind..."

At this time, Meng Dingguo, who was rushing back from the front line, also ran over and shouted: "Teacher Commander, what's the matter?... Grandma's, the six-pound cannon broke another enemy's door..."

Liu Jingxiao pointed to the eight cannons over there and said, "How about... the brand new naval howitzers and mountain howitzers... are all for you! Let you be a legitimate artillery regiment commander..."

The Dingbian Army had only an incomplete artillery company, equipped with three two-pound cannons, but these broken cannons were all thrown on Fu Sbo's ship. The Dingbian Army also sent a bunch of broken guns to Commander Fu. Of course, Chen Fangren did not say "trash disposal", but just said: "I'm sorry to win so much, this is a journey and a trip..."

However, this artillery company lacked enough gunners and could not control so many heavy artillery, which could only allow Meng Dingguo to take advantage of it.

Meng Dingguo was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He smiled for a long time and then flattered Liu Jingxiao: "The division commander is wise, the division commander is wise... I would rather ask someone to wait for the cannons than wait for people... It's really wise... Now I have a complete gunner, so I can get these cannons up and equip another battalion..."

Of course, he would not forget the old cadres of the Dingbian Army: "The division commander... I'll do this, take the artillery company as the base, and then I'll transfer a group of gunners..."

But some people are proud, some people are definitely frustrated.

Hunan-Hubei border. General Command of the Hunan Army aid to Hubei.

The commander of the Hunan Army's division brigade looked gloomy.

"Two company commanders were killed in the First Regiment, three company commanders were injured, and sixteen platoon commanders were injured and sixteen platoon commanders..."

"The company commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment was injured and killed two people, and the platoon leader was only four people who could fight, and the infantry was injured and killed and killed two hundred and seventy people..."

"The second battalion of the Third Regiment..."

Lu Dangping couldn't help crying as he listened to the report below.

Unlike the battles two days ago, today the one who went to the battlefield was his own Second Division of Hunan Army. The regiments participating in the battle happened to be his own basic unit.

The result was the same as the previous two days. Although it occupied five hills, the Second Division suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which was even greater than the total casualties of the previous two days. Many companies were even wiped out.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Seeing Lu Dangping in this situation, everyone looked at it without a good look. The Dingbian Army, which came out of nowhere, was really a unit that had fought bloody battles with the Rouran rebels. It was indeed possible to fight!
