The main body of these three divisions belonging to the Revolutionary Party was established on the basis of the original Jiangsu New Army. The Jiangsu New Army, due to the infiltration of the Revolutionary Party, most of the personnel with military capabilities were concentrated here, which is also the fundamental reason why Sun Yat-sen was able to succeed in Nanjing.[

This part of the foundation, and a part of the Huguang New Army, was added to the training and reorganization for five or six days, especially the strengthening of progressive youth returning from abroad and the backbone personnel scattered among other new army. In a sense, it is the most powerful and trustworthy force among the revolutionary army.

The most important thing is that their oldest foundation was Feng Yuxiang's Feng Camp. At that time, Feng Camp had begun to absorb advanced foreign tactics, including the tactics recently developed in Baotou. These were integrated into their bones. The use of machine guns and artillery fire were much stronger than other southern new troops. This has been proven during the uprising.

Now, some of the arms left by Zhang Jingjiang have been obtained, among which the number of automatic firearms is quite large, and there is a slight shortage in artillery fire. However, the three divisions have a total of 279 Maxis, which is far more than the average number of all towns in Beiyang. You should know that even the third town has only 80, which is the result of a significant expansion.

That is, because these three divisions did not arrive, the entire battle situation, including the confidence of the senior leaders behind it, has not yet collapsed. Even if they contact Beiyang, they will proceed secretly on a small scale and be able to make decisions and consolidate their own status. Who would be willing to rely on others, Beiyang and the Qing court? It is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is not a desperate situation. Who would be willing to hand over their destiny to others.

After entering Changsha, the army of three divisions took over the most violent attack by the Beiyang Army. Of course, they did not rush directly to the front line of the battle. After training during Fengying, they knew very well that there was no protection of trenches, but relying on infantry troops and a rifle, the mortality rate was quite high in the battlefield whistling artillery fire and machine guns. They could not have consumed their combat effectiveness here, and they had to do a good job in the local work.

Earthwork takes time. Even if you have the fast solidified cement obtained from Baotou, it will take two or three days. The three divisions are ready to sacrifice part of the sacrifice. At least one-third of their personnel will be sent to resist the attack of the Beiyang Army. On an unprotected and exposed battlefield, they are ready to sacrifice half of the sacrifice.

Fortunately, the Beiyang Army did not fight particularly quickly, and it seemed that compared to the Revolutionary Party, they were more stingy with casualties. Some of them often could solve the problem with one charge. This slowed down a lot, which made the Beiyang Army not continue much even if it had all the advantages within a week. It was not that the revolutionary Party could fight, but that the Beiyang Army was unwilling to waste its military strength here. Compared with the previous one, the death ratio increased by unknown amount. There were only sporadic casualties in Beiyang within a week, but it caused nearly 10,000 casualties in the Revolutionary Party.

It was this easing that gave the three new divisions the opportunity. They quickly took over the second-line battlefield and began to build fortifications. From Feng Camp to several years of revolutionary career, these revolutionary officers almost engraved the local work into their bones. Even when facing other teams without heavy artillery and machine guns, they strictly followed the requirements. The tests, exercises, bombardment of heavy artillery and machine guns in the Feng Camp, penetrated into their hearts. Even the Beiyang Army was far less powerful than the Feng Camp, and they protected themselves as much as possible and increased the killing of the other party.

The Beiyang Army did not notice at all. The opponent on the opposite side, to be precise, has been replaced by the second-tier opponent. Feng Ying's fortifications look extremely simple and highly secretive. In addition, the rapid condensation cement produced in Baotou, this cement is a new product that has only been found recently. To be precise, it was produced in an accident. It was originally a defective product, but was discovered by an officer who accidentally went to the cement factory. He knew very well that this need for combat was, just like other cements, it really took a month to solidify, so why was it too late?

This kind of cement is different from real high-grade cement, but its hardness has met the standard, similar to ordinary stones. In the battlefield where every second is necessary, they are more suitable for high-grade cement. They were produced at that time as military supplies. They accidentally entered the list of transactions with the revolutionary party, and then they flowed into Zhang Jingjiang's hands.

Now, the Beiyang Army, the opponent of the Revolutionary Party, is not the Northwest Army with heavy artillery of more than 100 mm. Head-on strike will not affect the effect of the overall fortifications, but can obtain three-dimensional protection in a short period of time.

For three days, the Third Division allowed other troops to see what powerful earthworks mean. Some new army officers who jumped out of the army said that the three divisions were earth mouse troops and could only dig soil. Some officers, or visionary commanders, saw their own shortcomings from these earthworks. If they could also master these, perhaps the powerful Beiyang would not be that scary.

Those who are interested want to learn the methods of local work in the three divisions. For this, the three divisions have not been hidden at all. They are all revolutionary comrades, and they are also at the critical moment of dealing with the Beiyang Army, making their troops stronger and adding bricks and tiles to Changsha. This is what they should do.

The three divisions had 45,000 people, which was enough for the city of Changsha. It could fight a big battle around Changsha. However, even if the third division had three heads and six arms, it would not be possible to defend the entire Yangtze River. It would be a matter of relying on many revolutionary colleagues and comrades.

In 3 days, the basic protection has been laid out, which is at least enough to allow the three divisions to form a ten defensive staircase. If they are still breached by the Beiyang Army, the third division will never forcefully stay. They know that they may be the last foundation of the revolution. If they were not in front and resist the Beiyang Army's military front, the Beiyang would sweep across the entire Jiangnan.

At this time, the Fourth and Fifth Towns, which were responsible for the main attack, were careless during the continuous attacks, and felt that the Southern New Army was just like this. They annihilated three divisions, more than 30,000 people, and lost hundreds of them. It seemed that a surprise attack could break through Changsha's city defense, annihilate 140,000 new troops here, and the outcome would be determined by one battle.

On this day, the Fourth and Fifth Towns, which were charged as usual, did not encounter much resistance while charging, and directly rushed through the previous defense line. The entire front line moved forward more than 500 meters, and made a big step further from Changsha.

Such a situation did not make Zhang Yongcheng and Wu Fengling wary. After all, the battle situation that was almost a month ago had already made him know and understand the strength of the revolutionary party opposite. If they were in a hurry to attack the city, they would probably be able to rush to the city of Changsha with just one charge. The reason why they did not do this was the continuous marching and non-combat reduction, which made Beiyang a little weak. In addition, they did not want to continue to consume their strength, so they simply reduced the intensity and could not support the other party for long.

It seems that this is at its limit. Maybe today, you will be able to rush to the city of Changsha, and tomorrow, you will be able to encircle and pursue the remaining remnants of the revolutionary party. If you succeed in the battle, they will be able to achieve supreme merits next.

It was precisely with this mentality that the two commanders continued to command their troops to attack forward. Unfortunately, this time, they hit a nail and completely encountered a iron plate. They seemed to have no defense at all, and even worse than the previous revolutionary party. Before, the revolutionary party casually threw a few sandbags and used as a bunker to build a command center on the hill. Now, it seems that there is no difference from usual, and it seems that everyone has withdrawn.

Although the long-term field battle suffered very little losses, it made the Beiyang senior management behind a little dissatisfied. The urging orders were issued one after another, which put them under tremendous pressure. Since the opponent's defensive will was completely destroyed, let's do our best to take the position outside Changsha.

When the military order was issued, the trumpet officers blew the charge. The gray ocean of Beiyang rushed forward like a tide. It seemed that with one impact, they took down the positions in front of them. Unfortunately, the two soldiers had bad life. They encountered strict earthwork operations and armed three Nanjing divisions with large numbers of machine guns and artillery.

In the tight trenches, the revolutionary party troops of the three divisions, with flexible movements, tightly arranged firepower points, perfect earthwork operations and powerful firepower, caught the Beiyang Army off guard. In just one afternoon, on the front line of more than 15 kilometers, a fortification group composed of more than 200 fixed firepower points and trenches suddenly repelled the Beiyang Army's charge of more than 20 charges. When the Beiyang front commander found that the situation was wrong and retreated, the Beiyang Army's fifth and fourth towns, which were responsible for the main attack, each lost one and a half battalions, and the overall loss exceeded 1,500 people.

In the past month, the losses would not exceed 1,000 people. Now, 1,500 people were lost in one afternoon. Such losses are too amazing. This is probably the biggest loss suffered after the Beiyang Army heading south, or in other words, after 1900, the Beiyang Army truly formed its combat effectiveness, besides the battle in the northwest, the most inexplicable loss.

That's right, when we fought with the Northwest, the Northwest revealed powerful artillery fire, the ubiquitous Maxim, and even the defensive position composed of barbed wire. However, due to the formal reason, the powerful earthwork in the Northwest was not shown. After all, Zhangjiakou Railway Station was all made of high-grade cement. In a sense, it was a powerful fortress. Like the Revolutionary Party, in batches and overall defense camps, the Beiyang Army was first exposed. It was the blown away. If it weren't for the Revolutionary Party, the number of artillery fire was small and it was suppressed by the Beiyang Army, I'm afraid their losses would at least double.
