Chapter 42 Chapter 10 Solving Problems When It’s Dark

On the Chu Watchtower, the sound of cannons sounded, and the situation changed drastically in an instant. Xiong Bingkun described the situation at that time, saying: Even the complete independence of Wuchang was also facilitated by the sound of rumbling guns... The sound of the artillery pushed the Wuchang army into an intersection where they had no choice. If there was no one to respond to any standard battalion, it must be the key target of the artillery attack. In the middle of the night, who would like to be bombarded? Since the people from the third battalion of the twenty-ninth bid came, all the people from the second and third battalions of the thirtieth bid came, and the artillery, workers, and supplies of the twenty-first mixed association to which Li Yuanhong belonged all came. The battalion arrived one after another.Wu Zhaolin was overjoyed, and first ordered the artillery, engineering, and supply battalions of the 21st Mixed Association to occupy the Snake Mountain position and form a corner with Chuwangtai.He ordered the men of Nanhu Paobiao to return quickly and drag all the artillery over.The cannon is really useful.

The next task is to capture the supervisor's office first, and then kill the flag soldiers. Wu Zhaolin said: If the enemy is not defeated tonight, we will be captured by dawn. The meaning of Wu Zhaolin's words is very clear: Don't look at the current revolutionary situation, but in fact everyone is afraid that you will hit him with a cannon, so they come to join in the fun. By dawn, the revolutionary team will quickly split up. I am afraid that 90% of the rebels on the battlefield will turn against the water and capture less than 10% of the revolutionaries. So we must solve the problem before dawn.

How to solve it? Wu Zhaolin issued an order for the second time: 1. Xiong Bingkun led the whole rear team to attack the Supervisory Office through Jinshui Gate and Baoanmen Main Street. Wu Zhenglin led the front team to assist Xiong Bingkun to advance along the Baoanmen city wall to Wangshanmen, but a shed of troops was needed to communicate between the two lines . 2. Huang Chunan led the whole team of the left team, and after passing through Xiaodusi Lane in Wangfukou to attack the supervisory office, Yao Jinyong led the right team of the 3rd Battalion of the 29th Brigade to follow up as Huang Chunan's reserve team.

3. Chen Guozhen deployed two cannons across the mountain, arranged them on the Baoanmen city, and fired at the supervisory office. 4. Cao Feilong led the soldiers from the right team to cover the Baoanmen artillery team. 5. Fangxing used more than 100 surveying and mapping students as the general reserve team, and consolidated the defense of the Chu Watchtower and the Ordnance Institute. Commander-in-Chief Wu Zhaolin sent it to the Ordnance Station at 2 o'clock in the morning on the 20th (lunar calendar). Comparing the two orders issued by Wu Zhaolin, in the latter one, the number of organizational units involved in the operation has obviously expanded, from the "squad" in the first order to the current whole team, and the number of the reserve team alone has exceeded The total number of people when the first order was issued, on Wu Zhaolin's side, was a bit rich and powerful.

This order brought three direct consequences: The first consequence is that the governor, Rui Chan, couldn't stand Wu Zhaolin's violent attacks one after another. When he got angry, he said: "Everyone, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come over here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, all of you." Shooting guns, making noise, it's too annoying, let's not bother with them, just clean up the gold and silver at home, and our family will go on vacation on the Chuyu warship.

At this time, the cannon fire on the Chu Watchtower was bombarding the supervisory office without thinking. Outside the supervisory office, there were party members who were killing and screaming, attacking from different directions. The most terrible thing was that there were three fires burning down the street. Blazing flames swept towards the supervisory office.The governor Ruizhang was calm and composed, and ordered the guards to cut open the back wall, and took his family and trusted friend Tie Zhong with him, and Guo Qing'a fled. The second consequence of Wu Zhaolin's order was that the 30th standard banner soldiers were all killed.
