Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 304

With the upcoming battle between the two families of Zhi and Feng, Zhang Zhiqing, who was far away in Lingnan Province, quickly decided that the time to make contributions has come!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Zhiqing quickly sent a number of messengers to notify the bandits on the hills, asking them to launch an attack on the predetermined target according to the specified date.

And Liu Baoshan in southern Shaanxi also led the Southern Shaanxi Army to move south, preparing to join forces with the Yasukuni Army!

The Han family compound has become the headquarters of the Yasukuni Army.

At this time, in the front hall of the Han family compound, Zhang Zhiqing got a set of general officer uniforms from nowhere, complete with epaulets, tassels, ribbons, hat tassels and other accessories.

Putting on white gloves and a command knife hanging from his waist, not to mention, he really looks like a general!

Under the envious eyes of Han Wenkui, Mu Hongbin and others, Zhang Zhiqing couldn't help regretting that Marshal Yuan was training in Jinmen during the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't sign up to follow him.

Otherwise, I would have to be a governor of a province to say the least, maybe I could keep pace with Marshal Duan, Marshal Cao, and Marshal Zhang.

As it is now, he became an empty governor!

It's too late to regret, but fortunately, I finally seized a chance to stand up now!

At this moment, Zhang Zhiqing looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Everyone, what do you think of my clothes?"

"very good!"

"You look quite heroic when you wear it!"

"Extraordinary bearing!"

Zhang Zhiqing laughed loudly and said, "You guys are overwhelmed. Although we haven't launched an army yet, I assure you that once we occupy the entire Lingnan Province, I will make you all wear such general uniforms!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all very excited: "Thank you, Commander, I will fight with all my strength and vow to drive the Jiangbei Army out of Lingnan Province!"

"Okay, that's a good word, it's really refreshing after listening to it!"

Zhang Zhiqing said with satisfaction: "Everyone, the brigade commanders on the hills have already set off with their troops, and the guard Liu is about to go south."

"Now, my top priority is to capture Dongjiang City and electrify the entire province first."

"At the same time, with the assistance of various hilltops, wipe out the remaining forces of the Jiangbei Army."

"After Liu Zhenshou arrived at Dongjiang, we joined forces and went south to attack Jiangbei together, completely wiped out Lin Hongfei's lair!"

"Is everyone clear!"

"Report to the commander, it's clear!" Everyone responded immediately.

"it is good!"

"Come on!"

"Drink!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiqing finished speaking, several orderlies came in from outside with wine jars and bowls in their hands, and then put down a bowl in front of each of them in turn, and poured wine into them.

Soon, everyone got up together and looked at Zhang Zhiqing with the wine bowls in their hands.

Zhang Zhiqing said confidently: "Everyone, today's battle is the beginning of our control of Lingnan Province."

"This wine is the expedition wine, everyone, drink this cup to the full!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiqing finished speaking, he took the lead and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Everyone followed suit and poured the wine into their stomachs with their heads up.

"Whoa!"

After Zhang Zhiqing finished drinking, he threw the wine bowl on the ground, and with a crisp sound, the wine bowl shattered to the ground.

"Pa la pa la..."

Everyone also threw their wine bowls to the ground one after another, causing chaos in the front hall.

The orderly next to him couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Those are all newly bought bowls, worth tens of catties of grain!

"Everyone, go!"

Zhang Zhiqing waved his hand, and then walked out of the front hall first, like a veteran who has fought many battles, leading his subordinates to the battlefield.

However, just as he arrived at the yard, a burst of fierce gunshots suddenly rang out!

Immediately afterwards, there were successive explosions, which were faintly mixed with the screams and cries of help from the soldiers!

"what happened?"

"Where to shoot?"

"What happened!"

Zhang Zhiqing and the others suddenly looked surprised, only Han Wenyuan, the head of the third room of the Han family who was walking at the back, showed a meaningful smile.

Just when everyone was astonished, two Yasukuni soldiers stumbled into the yard with terrified expressions, and then opened their mouths and shouted:

"It's not good, it's not good!"

"Jiangbei Army is coming!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqing felt a surge of chills from behind, grabbed one of the soldiers, and yelled at him: "Nonsense, how could the Jiangbei Army come here, how could he know our existence! "

The soldier was so frightened that he was trembling all over, but he still responded: "It's true, they really called. Their people are all over the mountains and plains, even standing on trees!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Zhiqing slapped him and cursed, "Exaggeration!"

The soldier slipped aside, covered his face and muttered aggrievedly: "I'm not exaggerating, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

At this time, Han Wenkui stepped forward in a panic and asked, "Commander, how did the Jiangbei Army know that we are here?"

"how could I know!"

"Then what should we do now?"

"What to do, now that we've reached this point, let's fight the Jiangbei army with dignity!"

As Zhang Zhiqing spoke, he drew out the sharp command knife at his waist: "As long as we can hold on for three hours, the reinforcements from all the hills will arrive."

"At that time, relying on our superiority in military strength, we will definitely be able to repel the Jiangbei Army."

"Success or failure, it's here!"

"Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

Zhang Zhiqing still has a bit of talent for bewitching people's hearts. After some words, the fear in everyone's hearts really lessened.

Immediately, everyone swarmed up and rushed out of the compound, while calling loudly for the soldiers of the Yasukuni Army to gather and defend against the enemy together.

Although everyone has full ideals and beliefs, the reality has always been very skinny!

From the very beginning, Zhang Zhiqing was secretly carrying out the formation and expansion of the Yasukuni Army. In order to avoid being discovered by Chu Liangyi and others, he did not build large-scale fortifications near the Yasukuni Army headquarters.

They simply dug a few trenches, piled up some mounds, and adobe, but this kind of simple fortification is just better than nothing.

Therefore, when the Jiangbei Army launched an attack, the soldiers of the Yasukuni Army could only rely on these simple fortifications to resist with difficulty.

The commander of the battle this time was Ma Shanhai, the colonel and head of the Jiangbei Army. He was also a soldier of the [-]th Hebei and Shandong soldiers of the old fourth company, and a disciple of Cangshi Piguamen.

Facing the resistance of the Yasukuni Army, Ma Shanhai did not let the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army rush up, but waved his hand to tell the Shanpao Battalion to hurry up and assemble the Shanpao.

Soon, the three mountain cannons were assembled, and the five mortars were also repaired. With a command, the gunner shouted: "Let go!"

In the next second, the cannon was ejected, accompanied by a sharp piercing sound and whistling sound, followed by a huge explosion roar!

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, the fortifications of the Yasukuni Army were filled with smoke and dust, and limbs were flying everywhere!
