The Republic of Heroes

On the dark Beijing-Tianjin plain, hundreds of cavalry galloped on their horses, and the dust raised was hidden in the night like a thousand troops.The cavalry cavalry did not walk on the main road, but abandoned fields. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they fought year after year, with ten rooms and five empty rooms. In early summer, a large number of fields were uncultivated. The battlefield for cavalry was flat.

Wu Xiaoliang's No. 15 Mixed Regiment's No. [-] Mixed Regiment's [-]st Battalion had been chasing Chen Xiuyan's platoon for four hours. It was early in the morning when suddenly there was loud gunfire ahead, and the cavalry slowed down.

"Go ahead and find the way." Wu Xiaoliang ordered.

Two scouts rode their horses straight ahead and plunged into the darkness, returning in a moment. "Regimental Commander, in front is Platoon Leader Chen, who was ambushed."

"Support immediately!" Wu Xiaoliang yelled sharply, even though he came to chase Chen Xiuyan, who had become a deserter, but the friendship of Paoze would not allow outsiders to comment.

"Brother Yisheng, you lead a series of flanking rounds." Fu Zuoyi led the troops to leave the team.

"Jingshan, Zhizhi will charge forward with me." After saying that, he drew out his saber and shouted: "Students, follow me to kill the enemy and save Paozhe!"

Immediately, the soldiers drew out their sabers and raised their heads high, "Save Paozhe! Save Paozhe!"

"kill--"

The cavalry charging forward rolled into the darkness like a huge wave of thunder, and Chen Xiuyan's platoon was beaten to pieces. If they hadn't arrived in time, they might be in danger of being wiped out.The sneak attackers hiding in the darkness suddenly saw the reinforcements from the other side roaring towards them, and they were all cavalry. The sound was getting closer and closer, and the attackers finally ran for their lives desperately. The cavalry arrived in no time, and the sabers raised flat cut the flesh and blood of the uniforms, blood splattered and wailed everywhere.

The raiders collapsed at the first touch, and Fu Zuoyi's detachment, which had a roundabout flank, also changed from a surprise attack to a massacre.The battle ended in an instant, Fu Zuoyi continued to chase the attackers, Wu Xiaoliang ordered people to clean up the battlefield and collect Chen's defeated soldiers. Many of the classmates who used to laugh together in the past have become today's cold corpses, and Chen Xiuyan was brought in front of Wu Xiaoliang with blood on his face.

He cursed with tears in his voice: "You despicable villain, I was in vain to follow you to Machang to protect the country, and you sent someone to plot against me."

Wu Xiaoliang was scolded inexplicably, "What? I sent someone to assassinate you?"

"Just pretend to be confused. Let me ask you, why are the guns for the soldiers in the third row tampered with? People will die when they go into battle." There is another reason he didn't ask. He was already the company commander when the national defense detachment was established. , After being reorganized into a mixed regiment, he was reduced to a platoon leader. He had a lot of prejudice against this personnel appointment.

Wu Xiaoliang was even more puzzled, why did he ever do anything to him?I did suppress him when I appointed the company platoon leader because he was not a direct descendant and doubted his character, but I would not do such a thing that disregarded the friendship of the robe.He looked at Fang Qidao, he was the chief of the Military Supplies Department, could it be that he did it?It doesn't fit him.

Fang Qidao suddenly patted his head and remembered something, "When we fired the guns for the third platoon in the afternoon, we didn't have enough manpower. People from the model group helped, didn't we?" He didn't dare to look like it.

If what Chen Xiuyan said was true, with his young master's temper, he was full of enthusiasm for the appointment, but he misunderstood that he was plotting against him.But now is not the time to pursue. The situation of the surrounding enemies is unknown, and Fu Zuoyi has not returned after pursuing them.

"I will give Plato Leader Chen justice for this matter when we go back. Now everyone is on horseback to meet Chief of Staff Fu."

Everyone got on their horses one after another, shouting and the neighing of horses mixed together, Chen Xiuyan wiped his bloody face and got ready to go.

When the cavalry caught up with Fu Zuoyi, fire had already started in front of them. Everyone got off their horses and shot covertly. There was actually a well-built fortification in front of them. Their arrival greatly shocked the defenders inside the fortification.

Someone in the fortification shouted in horror, "Regimental Commander, reinforcements, they have reinforcements coming."

The head of the regiment shouted: "Scream, didn't I see it? If you disturb the morale of the army again, pull it out and kill it. Hold it for me."

Fu Zuoyi came to see Wu Xiaoliang, "Commander, we have encountered a fortification, and the group that attacked us is hiding inside."

Wu Xiaoliang said harshly, "The old tactic is to feign an attack from the front, and make a roundabout surprise attack from the side. Shoot down his guns, find out the murderer, and vent his anger at Platoon Leader Chen."

Suddenly there was a commotion behind, and a soldier said excitedly, "It's our mixed group, reinforcements are here."

"Reinforcements are coming..."

The people who rushed over were the Second Battalion under Dong Haibin's department. They even brought in two Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns. Before fortifications.In a short while, the heavy machine gun sprayed flames and rained steel bullets on the enemy like hail.The model regiment was really tough. Under the cover of strong vitality, Dong Haibin took the lead and rushed to the enemy's position.The defenders finally collapsed, running like wolves and fleeing in all directions. Careful people found that some soldiers still had a black braid under their hats.

The first fortification collapsed, and the second fortification raised a white flag. The soldiers shouted: "Don't shoot, we are anyway, don't shoot..."

"These bastards, if they surrender, they will surrender, and if they do it anyway, it's against their mother's righteousness." Chen Xiuyan sneered.

Not long after, the other party sent an adjutant to negotiate. It turned out that this was the defense line built by Zhang Xun's braided army on the outskirts of Nanyuan, and it was the Tian Wangwang regiment belonging to the [-]th Division who assisted in the defense.The braided army did not expect the rebellious army to come so quickly. It is said that they were still gathering at the horse factory to wait for the oath master, so why did they come without a sound? Four to five hundred cavalry, according to the configuration at the time, if a unit had so many cavalry, it would be at least the size of a division, and a regiment would never be able to withstand it, so they surrendered decisively.

Tian Wangwang was secretly surprised. The leader of the rebellious army in front of him was so young. He smiled obsequiously, "The gangster is coerced, and the lowly position is attached to the rebellious... It is also a last resort. Now that the rebellious army is coming, the lowly position is willing to cooperate with the chief inside and outside to make atonement "He and Wu Xiaoliang are both regimental commanders, and their military rank is still colonel, so they didn't feel the slightest blush when they called the officer.

Wu Xiaoliang didn't make it difficult for him, and said with a smile: "Tuan Zhang's heart is for the republic, and he dedicated himself to serving as a thief for today's victory against rebellion. He is also a true hero. Let everyone know what tricks he has. The Eighth Division will arrive soon. Let's do it first, and don't let them take the credit." The Eighth Division is one of the eight main divisions of Beiyang, well-equipped and powerful, and Wu Xiaoliang pretended to be the cavalry regiment of the Eighth Division to reassure Tian Wangwang.

"Wu Changzhi, the commander of the mixed brigade stationed in Nanyuan, is a close friend of Beizhi, and Beizhi is willing to go personally to persuade him to join forces with the rebellion army to defeat Zhang Ni."

Tian Wangwang talked about the plan endlessly, Wu Xiaoliang secretly thought that it was a fluke, thanks to Zhang Xun's braided army being vulnerable, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses if he kicked on the iron plate.The detectives suddenly came back to report: "Regimental Commander, the commander of the mixed brigade stationed in Nanyuan sent an adjutant to negotiate with the Ministry."

The No.15 mixed regiment defeated Zhang Xun's garrison regiment in the South Campus and incorporated Tian Wangwang's regiment. Wu Changzhi, the commander of the mixed brigade, heard the wind and turned his guns to join the rebellious army. Wu Xiaoliang knew that the opportunity was rare, so he simply coordinated several troops. Swinging and rushing to Beijing, Zhang Xun's three thousand braided troops fled northward in a panic.

When the army marched to Fengtai, Chen Guangyuan, the commander of the [-]th Division of the garrison, immediately turned his guns when he saw the situation was not good, and rushed to Beijing with the rebel army.Wu Xiaoliang, as the head of the major regiment, seemed to be the leader of all the anti-rebel armies.Anyway, the division commanders and brigade commanders were afraid that Duan Qiruiqiu would settle accounts after winning the rebellion, so they all tried their best to cooperate with Wu Xiaoliang's reasonable requests.

Nanyuan Airport even dispatched a plane with bombs on it and staggered towards Beijing. Later, it was said that the plane dropped a bomb on the Forbidden City, killing a person and a dog.

When Zhang Xun heard that the rebellious army had moved ahead of time, he was shocked and angry. In order to preserve his strength, he ordered his only [-]-braided army to retreat into Beijing. Outside the door, I personally went to the Yamen of the infantry commander to explain clearly, but was rejected.Then he sent a secret telegram to ask for help from the warlords who had promised to help the restoration in various provinces, and he was in a state of desperation for a while.The farce of restoration is about to die, and Zhang Xun's political life has also entered the countdown.

In the early morning of July 15st, Wu Xiaoliang's No.[-] mixed regiment led the rebellious coalition forces to the outskirts of Beijing. The morning fog had dissipated, and Yongdingmen was just around the corner.
