Chapter 74 Chapter 16 Go to Nanjing to Fight Guerrilla

The battle was fought so badly that even the headquarters was heavily surrounded by the enemy. Didn't it mean that there are revolutionary parties in every province in the country to aid Hubei?For example, the overseas Chinese death squad led by Ma Chaojun from Guangdong, where are they at this time? Ma Chaojun first took part in Liujiamiao's battle against Zhang Biao, but Zhang Biao was defeated.When Feng Guozhang's troops came, Huang Xing sent a message to the Liu family temple and called overseas Chinese death squads to guard the Hanyang Arsenal. The Hanyang Arsenal was founded by Zhang Zhizhang. This place has important political significance for Feng Guozhang. If he wins the Hanyang Arsenal, he can report his merits to the court.As far as Wuchang is concerned, once the arsenal is lost, it means that Wuchang has been encircled and lost the opportunity to fight.

That's why Huang Xing placed the strong army of the Overseas Chinese Death Squad in such a position. Ma Chaojun was ordered in danger, and placed the death squads in Boyatai and Meizishan. Soon Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army arrived, and the two sides fought fiercely for four days. Surrounded on all sides, it seems that if they don't disperse, few members of this Huaqiao Death Squad will be able to return home. At this time, Huang Xing came. Huang Xing said: Hello, comrades, you have worked hard. Ma Chaojun asked: Commander-in-Chief, can we retreat?If you don't leave, it will be too late.

Huang Xing shook his head: The revolution advances but never retreats. Is there any reason to retreat?Comrades, the bloody battle in the three towns of Wuhan lasted for five days, and the revolutionary army is facing many defeats. The Hanyang Arsenal is an important stronghold, so it must not be lost.The success or failure of this righteous act depends on this battle. I hope that comrades in Guangdong will stick to it for one more day, only one day!A day later, reinforcements from Hunan and Jiangxi will arrive. At the end, Huang Xing burst into tears. Ma Chaojun was moved, and said: "Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, but one day, our death squad promises to advance and never retreat. We will fight until tomorrow and wait for the big help to arrive."

Huang Xing then left the Hanyang Arsenal, crossed the river with straw sandals hanging on the pot, and went to Wuchang to attend an emergency meeting chaired by Li Yuanhong. It is said that Li Yuanhong, a fat man, is calm and calm, Hanyang has been lost, and Wuchang has been exposed to Feng Guozhang's muzzle, but he didn't reveal a word, but took the time to say: Let's have a meeting today, it's nothing serious, just want to see everyone , If you have any good suggestions for the revolutionary government, whether military or political, you can say it. So the participants spoke enthusiastically, some offering advice on how to defeat Feng Guozhang, and some offering advice on how to set up a new government agency. During the heated discussion, Huang Xing came and took his seat.Then he said: Brother, I have an idea, let me tell you, I plan to give up Hanyang.Why should I give up Hanyang?There are two reasons. One is that the armies cannot maintain consensus, and the differences of opinion are too great, so it is difficult to reach a tacit cooperation during the attack.The second is that the enemy's situation is relatively fierce. Whether it is fighting or defending, our side is obviously lacking in confidence.Therefore, I have burned the grain platform and destroyed the gun factory, so as not to be used by the enemy.

After hearing Huang Xing's words, everyone knew that the frontline had lost, and they were stunned. I only heard Huang Xing say again: Since everyone agrees to give up Hanyang, brother, I have another good suggestion, which is to give up Wuchang.If Dudu Li agrees with my brother's suggestion, then the elders in Wuchang will be saved from the fire, which can be said to be a great merit.Oh, Li Dudu obviously has no different views, so good, the motion to abandon Wuchang is passed.The next question is, after you give up Wuchang, where will you go? You can go to Nanjing with me. The revolutionary party in Nanjing is taking action. We can help them take Nanjing in one fell swoop. What do you think of my suggestion?

After hearing Huang Xing's words, everyone put their hands on their guns.If the person who said these irresponsible words was not the revolutionary leader Huang Xing, he would have been shot and killed by random gunfire. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the impact of Huang Xing's words, everyone was stunned on the spot, at a loss for what to do.After a long time, Fan Tengxiaoteng, a naval student studying in Japan, jumped up: Huang Xing, you big irresponsible mouth, the people you brought, plus the revolutionary army in Wuchang, can't defend together. If you live in a small Hanyang, how can you attack Nanjing?And according to what you said, there are already revolutionaries fighting in Nanjing, and it is hard to say whether the Hubei army will be able to keep itself after traveling thousands of miles.The Wuchang First Uprising is known to all the world and attracts the attention of the whole country. If we easily abandon it, it means that all our efforts will be in vain.Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you can advance together and retreat together, stick to Wuchang, and have the revolutionary belief of living and dying with the city, waiting for the heroes of the world to respond.

After Fan Tengxiao finished speaking, everyone present stood up and applauded enthusiastically, while applauding and looking at Huang Xing coldly.The atmosphere at the scene was indescribably tense. I saw Huang Xing slapping the table: "Okay, if we are united, I will entrust Wuhan to you. Brothers, I will lead a team to assist Nanjing." He left as soon as he said he would, and actually left Ma Chaojun's overseas Chinese death squad at the Hanyang Arsenal. He can't do this, can he? He is already like this.
