Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Is the content of this telegram true? Sending troops from Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo is indeed a good way to save Jiaxing, but why did the Qing government use telegrams to convey this order? They never I have never used a telegram! Have they forgotten that the telegram will be deciphered by me?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a while and told himself: "The Qing government must be in a hurry and wanted to rescue Jiaxing as soon as possible, so they ignored the risk of the telegram being intercepted and deciphered by me, and sent the order by telegram."

Lin Yuan thought of this and immediately asked the intelligence organizations in Hangzhou and Ningbo to scout the movement of the Qing army, and then thought: "Since the defenders in these two places are going to be dispatched, the plan to lure the enemy has basically succeeded, and Xu Shan in the encirclement will also It's useless." So Lin Yuan contacted Liu Jinkui, the commander of the Eighth Division, and ordered: "Immediately annihilate Xu Shan's troops in the encirclement, and Li Dingguo's and Zhang Huayuan's troops outside the encirclement!"

At this time, it was one o'clock in the morning on October [-]th. With an order, the various troops began the general offensive.The first is the tank troops. They launched a fierce attack on Xu Shanbu. In order to stop the tanks, Xu Shanbu dug a lot of trenches on the ground, but the tank troops did not cross the trenches at all, but hid behind the trenches and fired at the Qing army.

The defensive positions built by the Qing army were all made of mud, and they were vulnerable to the main guns of the tanks. The Qing army was killed and injured immediately. Xu Shan was awakened by the sound of the guns, and hurriedly shouted: "What's going on? Attacked?"

A battalion commander said: "That's right, my lord, it was the Lin Ni bandits who came to attack. Their main artillery tanks didn't go through the trenches at all, but hid behind and fired at us!"

Xu Shan hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, and told the crowd: "Hurry up and go to the south to break out!" The crowd gathered together and went to the south to break out of the encirclement.When he came to the front of the blocking position of the 65th Regiment, Xu Shan decided to adopt intensive charge tactics and invested thousands of troops in a position with a frontal width of less than 500 meters, trying to forcibly fight a bloody path from the blocking.

Su Wanhai, the head of the 65th Regiment, saw Xu Shan's intensive charge, so he gathered all the heavy weapons. Over a width of more than 500 meters, there were more than 20 heavy machine guns, more than 50 light machine guns, half of the regiment's mortars, etc. When the Qing army launched a charge, they opened fire together. The Qing army left a pile of corpses and hid behind in embarrassment.

Xu Shan saw that all the officers of each battalion were there, but the soldiers were dead and wounded, so he couldn't help but angrily said: "Why don't you charge up?"

The officers said one after another: "We rushed forward, who is in charge behind us!"

Xu Shan let out a long sigh and thought to himself: "I heard that when Lin Yuan's troops fought, the officers took the lead in the charge, but the officers of my army were hiding behind!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a fierce gunshot from the south of Yangliu Town, and a battalion commander shouted excitedly: "My lord, it must be the Pinghu reinforcements. They heard the sound of our breakout and launched an attack outside!"

Xu Shan clapped his hands in applause, and said, "Wait a little longer, when the attention of Lin Ni's bandit soldiers are all focused on Li Dingguo, we can rush out of the encirclement!" But Xu Shan smiled for a while, and his smile froze suddenly. It seemed that he remembered something terrible.

Seeing Xu Shan's appearance, a battalion commander hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Shan frowned, and suddenly said angrily: "Li Dingguo, it's fine if he doesn't attack well, but he even fired a gun indiscriminately as a perfunctory way. When I get out of the encirclement, I must cut off his head!"

Commander Ying hurriedly asked: "What is your lord saying? Li Dingguo's department did fight Lin Yuan yesterday, and he can't be blamed for not breaking through Lin Yuan's defensive position."

Xu Shan said: "Listen carefully to these gunshots. Didn't you find that they came from a long distance? What does this mean? It means that Li Dingguo and the others didn't rush to Yangliu Town at all, but hid in the distance and fired guns." Li Dingguo, I told Master Xu Yingkui at the time that his words were exaggerated and should not be used, but Master Xu Yingguo refused to listen, and today will be the end of this disaster!"

The battalion commander said, "Then what should we do now?"

Xu Shan said: "If you can't go south, you have to go west!"

Ying Tong said: "Zhang Huayuan didn't take down the Lin Ni bandits' position outside Meilin Town, and we won't be able to break through the siege even if we go there!"

Xu Shan said: "Now there is no other way, only a dead horse as a living horse doctor, go west to try your luck!" Xu Shan was about to give an order to march west, when he suddenly heard a sound of "rumbling" coming from the west, Xu Shanhe's subordinates were very surprised, because they knew very well that these sounds came from the main artillery tanks in Lin Yuan's army!

Xu Shan hurriedly asked: "Why did the main artillery chariot of Lin Ni bandits come from the west?"

A soldier hurried over and said, "The main artillery chariot of Lin Ni's bandits circled to the west for a while, then bypassed the ditch, and is now rushing towards us!"

All battalion commanders panicked and said one after another: "What a good way to do this! The main artillery chariot of Lin Ni bandits is unstoppable, we are completely finished now!"

Xu Shan was quick to gain wisdom, and said: "Hurry up and change into the clothes of the common people, flee to the east, find a small fishing village by the sea, let's get a boat, and go directly to Ningbo Mansion!" In a small fishing village, they left all the troops behind and arrived in Ningbo Mansion two days later.

At the same time, the other two Qing troops: Li Dingguo's and Zhang Huayuan's were also extremely difficult. First of all, Zhang Huayuan's fighting will was weak, and they were all supported by bounties. Undoubtedly fatal.Lin Yuan knew that Zhang Huayuan's troops were relatively strong, so he transferred the No.20 Fourth Brigade of the Eighth Division. Under the attack of this brigade, Zhang Huayuan's troops were quickly defeated. He fell off his horse and died.

Li Dingguo's troops are still struggling to support. The gunshots that Xu Shan heard were not Li Dingguo's perfunctory, but Lin Yuan's troops attacking them. Li Dingguo couldn't figure out how Lin Yuan's troops infiltrated. Raided to his rear?Why did the bullet suddenly come from behind?

Li Dingguo hurriedly organized troops to defend, so Lin Yuan's troops used themselves to show Li Dingguo what is called "modern tough battle". First, the artillery opened the way. The mortars fired one after another, and the flames, loud noises and gunpowder smoke not only deeply shocked the militiamen, but even the veterans of the Five Tigers' battalion were stunned!They all exclaimed: "How can Lin Yuan's troops shoot so many shells? Don't they need money for their shells?"

After the artillery opened the way, the infantry charged. When Lin Yuan's troops charged, they didn't rush forward like Li Dingguo's subordinates in a daze, racing against bullets. The Qing army was also equipped with Maxim machine guns. These soldiers immediately fell down when they heard the gunfire, and stood up after the guns turned away from other places, and then charged. Don't see that the Qing army is lying down in the trenches, but The bullets were not as accurate as Lin Yuan's subordinates!
