"On August 27, the Sichuan Army concentrated more than 20 regiments to launch an attack on our front-line positions..." - Excerpted from "Diary of the 87th Year of the Republic of the First Division of the Hubei Army", the top-secret archives in the Beijing First Archives Museum are now declassified.

Chen Yu stood there in a hurry and commanded, still like a green pine tree, his tone was neither anxious nor slow, as if the Sichuan Army was still far away in the sky.

In fact, the attacks of the Sichuan Army were one after another. The two frontier positions were forced to give up. A small number of vanguards even rushed to Chen Yu. After a short and bloody battle, they were defeated by the guards of the battalion. A few drops of blood on his military uniform were the result of that battle. If you take two more steps forward, it would be a corpse.

The number of Sichuan troops was too large. Chen Yu could proudly call him: "We killed at least nearly a thousand enemies...", but whether it was the bombardment of mountain grenades, the four-flying projectiles, or even the even-sky explosion of grenade rain, it could not stop the Sichuan troops from attacking forward.

The Sichuan Army still attacked forward desperately at the cost of human lives. In this case, the gap in equipment and experience can only cause huge casualties to the Sichuan Army, but cannot reverse the entire battle situation. The disadvantage in number is the fatal weakness of Liu Jingxiao's troops.

During the battle, Chen Yu felt regretful. The warriors who fought with the Rouran people several times had been following their soldiers since Mobei. They did not fall down in the bloody battle at Yangloujing, but died here.

Nearly one-third of his troops have been injured and killed, and the number of more than 90 people makes this steady man feel bitter.

But that was helpless. Although the new rifle has countless advantages, when facing nearly a thousand mesh rope guns, countless muzzles jumped almost at the same time. The feeling of projectile flying wildly, watching the friendly comrades fall down in an instant, the dense ferry almost made a strong man like Chen Yu collapse.

It was this level of crazy attack that Liu Jingxiao's troops still supported it. Afterwards, he said proudly: "My three companies dare to attack the five regiments of the Sichuan Army..."

The critical mountain dutch almost never stopped shooting. Every minute, with a harsh sound, the Sichuan Army changed from the initial fearlessness to a deep fear of this artillery. Whenever the shell was fired, the Sichuan Army would definitely lie on the ground with its head in its arms, escaping the punishment of the gods.

Relying on two critical grenades, the Sichuan Army was forced to stop and attack after the first round of volleys, otherwise Chen Yu's battalion would have completely collapsed.

During the subsequent firefight, the veterans of the Dingbian Army fully utilized their good military qualities. They bit through the paper packaging like lightning, then filled the projectiles with strips, and then fired. Then they repeated this action. Their movements were impeccable, and even the officers with the strictest requirements could not find any faults.

Before the Sichuan Army carried out the second round of volleys, they had already shot as many as six or seven rounds. Even some soldiers who joined Hubei were veterans who had been in Hubei for many years. When they were stationed in Wuxue, they had undergone intensive shooting training by Liu Jingxiao and could still shoot as many as three or four rounds.

In this case, although their number is far inferior to that of the Sichuan Army, it is actually a fair situation on the battlefield, but the price is that the three companies arranged by Chen Yu here have lost nearly one-third of their troops.

However, their sacrifice was not at no cost. The impact of this dense formation was very demanding on the troops. Only one regiment's troops rushed to the front line, and the other troops had become chaotic. Several teams were squeezed together, and only half of the troops attacked Nanjin Pass.

The team that rushed to the front was also injured and killed under this dense firepower. Their path forward was almost calculated by corpses, and their formation is now quite sparse.

"Here comes up again!" This voice was made by a platoon leader next to Chen Yu. Like Chen Yu, he was not anxious or slow. He had a troops of any kind of command. The style of this unit was to be steady and not afraid of sacrifice. Although his combat achievements were not as good as other battalions, he had its own characteristics and was also one of the teams that Liu Jingxiao liked to use the most in the future.

The Sichuan Army blew the horn of charge again, and about half a regiment of Sichuan Army rushed up in the rain of bullets. Chen Yu, a steadfast man, finally grabbed two grenades and smashed them towards the Hunan Army.

The Sichuan Army had already dropped the bulky grenade, each carrying two grenades, holding a big knife in his hand. About half of them rushed towards Chen Yu, and the rest stood there and threw grenades against Chen Yu's camp, covering the main force's upward rush.

The grenades used by the Sichuan Army were the grenades that Liu Jingxiao had in Lin Xi. Not to mention that they were bulky, they had to be lit with open flames. A group of people had to find matches to light them before they could throw them. It was no better than Chen Yuying to throw them out after pulling them.

Chen Yu's camp also specialized in throwing grenades. Hundreds of grenades fell on the way of the Sichuan Army, flying in fragments, causing the Sichuan Army to rush to the top of the mountain. As soon as the remaining Sichuan Army rushed to the top, they happened to meet Chen Yu and rushed down without saying a word, and the two sides entered a hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Sichuan Army was very majestic with a big sword, it was not as good as Chen Yu's camp in hand-to-hand combat. One of the key points of this army training was hand-to-hand combat. The rifle and long bayonet were a deformed spear. Chen Yu practiced a set of hand-to-hand combat based on the spear phalanx. Often, the Sichuan Army avoided the first wave of bayonets, but was pierced by the second wave of bayonets.

Under such circumstances, the Sichuan Army, whose morale was a little low, could no longer bear it and retreated.

Later, the Sichuan Army's attack became a little listless, at most it was to attack with the size of a battalion. Later, the brothers were hungry and simply ran back to have a meal and stopped the attack.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The battalion that attacked him just now almost couldn't hold on. The victory and defeat of both sides was a moment, and in the end, the will of the Sichuan Army collapsed first.

However, this characteristic of the Sichuan Army has been understood by Murong Xuehai: "The Sichuan Army's attack lasts at most three times, and the attack power lasts less than noon..."

He personally led Han Xinhai Camp to snipe the Sichuan Army. Instead of defending the entire desperately like Chen Yu, he gave up some of the fortifications in front of him, and then ran away with a long-range rifled rifle, then led the Sichuan Army into unfavorable terrain. The entire battalion fired a volley, killing the Sichuan Army to the point of bleeding.

His field fortifications were built very cleverly and he personally surveyed the terrain of this area, so it can be said that he built a large number of fortifications by using the terrain experts.

This time he tried his best to defend, which made Han Xinhai very impressed.

However, after two setbacks, the Sichuan Army did not start the attacking momentum, and it was almost noon. Moreover, because it occupied several small hills on the front line, the Sichuan Army simply stopped the troops and returned to the camp to have dinner.

However, Han Xinhai also felt that Murong Xuehai seemed to have changed a lot, and she had a temperament that she had not had before.

He was also a close friend of Murong Xuehai. He asked Murong Xuehai, but Murong Xuehai just smiled lightly.

As for Wu Canglei, his fighting style was still defending with attack. He shouted "Follow me!" himself, threw the flag bearer behind him, and chopped over several Sichuan troops with a saber. Another tiger roar was cut into the center of the Sichuan army.

Of course, he was not unruly Hu Chong. He often weakened the Sichuan Army with artillery fire, and then used hunters and rifled rifles to make a hole, and then rushed out with his troops.

Although this kind of fighting style suffered great casualties, it also shocked the Sichuan Army. After the Sichuan Army lost two entire battalions, it was forced to stop the attack.

However, the most relaxed and freehand style of fighting was Hu Bo Camp. Hu Bo has always had the nickname of a fox. When he saw a battalion and three companies trying to attack the Sichuan Army, he couldn't help but learn from Kong Ming's old wisdom.

His way was to change his three companies to three battalions, and then slaughtered the scarecrows. Every thirty scarecrows arranged ten soldiers to shoot in the middle. With one company's real soldiers and three companies' scarecrows, his three companies immediately turned into three strong battalions.

Then Hu Bo arranged some eloquent soldiers to shout loudly, such as the first platoon commander, the second company commander, and the third battalion commander, which scared away the Sichuan army of the two regiments. The two sides were in peace that day.

After all, the two regiments of the Sichuan Army had only about two thousand troops, while Hu Bo's three battalions had 1,200 and 300 people. In addition to the gap in weapons, the Sichuan Army did not dare to launch an attack.

Afterwards, Hu Bo was even more proud and claimed: "The battalion commander has always won by skills and does not waste the lives of officers and soldiers easily!"

The only regret is that the casualties of Hu Camp were greater than those of the Sichuan Army, because more than a dozen soldiers unfortunately complained and injured their throats.

Throughout the day, more than 400 casualties of the Dingbian Army, while the Sichuan Army suffered more than 1,800 casualties under dense artillery fire. However, the Sichuan Army only obtained a few small hills and found nothing but that.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Navy intercepted ships on Nanjinguan Road. Not only did it catch more than a dozen merchant ships and two passenger ships, but it also caught a small ship for transporting troops. The Sichuan army on the ship, which was threatened by the naval warship, entered Fu Sbo's captive camp without a single shot.

On this day, Liu Jingxiao's Hubei Army First Division won a great victory.

However, what made Liu Jingxiao the happiest thing was not this, but the changes in the battle situation in Hunan and Hubei.

The front lines between the Zhi army and the Hunan Army were basically maintained on the front lines of Zhao Liqiao and Yanglou Army. However, with the assistance of the naval army, the Zhi army, with one regiment after another of the Third Division as the base, was equipped with some special forces, forming landing troops, preparing to attack Yuezhou under the cover of the navy.

The landing troops gathered from the new embankment and drove along the river by civilian ship. Chen Yunjie personally took the Navy's "Fu Bo" ship down the river and walked to the front to command. The Navy was responsible for covering the entry with six warships. When Chen Yunjie spoke about the flag, the flagship "Fu Lang" ship of the first fleet, the first fleet, commander Huang Tianxia, ​​immediately started to anchor and rushed to the front. "Fu Bo" ranked second, and the rest of the warships were on the side in sequence.

Although Hunan artillery teams tried to bombard the artillery along the way, they were suppressed by the naval artillery as soon as they opened fire. By noon, the troops landed in Yuezhou.

The main force of the Yuezhou defenders was urgently transferred to Zhao Liqiao to participate in the war. There were only two companies of the garrison, and they could not organize effective resistance at all. For the safety of Yuezhou, the two companies defenders decided to surrender to the Zhi army, but they were required to be responsible for the public security of Yuezhou.

Without resistance, the Zhi army successfully landed in Yuezhou. The navy's warships continued to advance upwards and shelled Nanjin Port. Nanjin Port was a concentrated area for the Hunan Army's logistics supply. There were many ships coming and going, but under the shelling, they fled without a trace.

Then, under the occupation of the Zhi army, the Navy sent two ships to the deer antlers ten miles upstream of Yuezhou as water and land outposts.

Then Zhang Laifu's brigade also arrived in Yuezhou by boat, enhancing the strength of the Zhi army occupying Wuxue.

The Hunan Army was shocked when Yuezhou was lost. Without the need for Yi Hengzhao to order, they all defeated one after another.

You should know that if Yuezhou is lost, the Hunan Army will be cut off. In this way, the victory or defeat of the Hunan-Hubei War has become a foregone conclusion. Liu Jingxiao secretly felt proud that he bet the right treasure.

Although there were great casualties today, their support was constantly coming. Wuxue reported that although the ship was small, the two small steamers squeezed out two infantry battalions and a six-pound artillery company, and tried their best to arrive before dawn today.

He just couldn't stand it anymore. In order to protect Hubei's territory, Chen Yunjie's troops could also come up to reinforce.

This time I was the key to bet on the right treasure, which was a big profit.

Some people are proud, some are frustrated. When Liu Jingxiao was proudly bragging with Guo Junqing there, Wang Jiling also arrived at the front line, but she was facing the vicious eyes of several division commanders and brigade commanders who could kill him a thousand times.

Of course, during the time when Commander-in-Chief Wang ran back to Wanxian to "procure military rations" and went deep into the lower-class working women to have a heart-to-heart talk late at night, the Sichuan Army also made considerable progress. The progress on the south bank of the Yangtze River can be said to be unstoppable, and several county towns were also captured on the north bank.

However, from the areas from Nanjin Pass to Sanyou Cave, the Sichuan Army encountered a tough problem. First, Tang Wenhou's brigade completely let Liu Jingxiao's troops disarm...

Tang Wen is fine. Everyone usually looks down on him. One of his brigades is called three regiments, but the actual force is less than one regiment. He never works hard in war. Such friendly forces will be over.

Anyway, everyone doesn't like him (who told me that this monkey never pays for others every time he goes to the cellar, only when everyone pays for him), and everyone may be still secretly glad.

This kid is obsessed with the mind. It’s so easy for these four beauties... Mr. Xiong can only believe what Mr. Xiong said. Besides, the supervisor has already ordered two. He will do one by himself and the remaining one, you can grab it yourself!

But the battle situation behind was no longer possible. More than 2,000 casualties were killed and killed in Yichang!

More than 2,000 people... What is this number! Our Sichuan Army has always been a joke in war. Even a decisive battle of 40,000 to 40,000 may not lead to 2,000 casualties... Especially these guys, while they were away, they actually pulled their divisions to attack Nanjin Pass. The result was good! Five regiments attacked intensively, and in one day, more than 1,200 casualties!

When he thought of this, Commander-in-Chief Wang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He shouted: "I must take Yichang down tomorrow..."
