Wang Shizhen is not that easy to give up. He immediately understood that Tang Jian had mobilized Wuhan's troops to concentrate on attacking Jingzhou, so that Wuhan would have a clear defense at this time!

Wang Shizhen picked up a Mauser rifle as a crutch to make himself stand firm. A staff officer next to him asked, "General Wang, what should I do now?"

Wang Shizhen calmed down panting and ordered: "Let General Li from Hankou lead the troops of two divisions in Hankou to aid Jingzhou!"

Although Wang Shizhen suffered a series of blows at this time, he did not want to give up like this. Anyway, he would die anyway. If Yuan Shikai knew that he had lost Jingzhou by carelessness, he would inevitably be dealt with by military law. (eng.com)

It is better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death!

"Change all the troops in the city immediately and take back the South Gate. Keep it for a moment! As long as the reinforcements from Hankou arrive, we can fight back!" Wang Shizhen said as if he was dead.

The other soldiers who had just been beaten to the point of being dejected when they heard the bold words of their general, and they were also motivated and lifted Wang Shizhen and headed towards the south gate.

The other two groups who rushed over to support received the latest orders and followed Wang Shizhen toward the south gate.

Wang Shizhen thought that the reason why the South Gate was lost was because he mobilized most of his troops to encircle and suppress the enemy spies who were infiltrated into the city, so he gave these enemy spies an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to easily seize the South Gate.

Don't let Tang Jian cooperate inside and outside. He must first wipe out the enemy spies at the South Gate before Tang Jian's army arrives at the South Gate.

Just when Wang Shizhen was trying to fight for trapped beasts, Wang Jianchuan had successfully led the lone wolf to break out of the encirclement of Wang Shizhen and several regiments. After half an hour, he met with He Shan on the South Gate.

As soon as Wang Jianchuan climbed the city wall, He Shan said anxiously: "Captain, look at the city!"

Wang Jianchuan took the telescope and saw more and more torches in the city began to gather together, just like the stars in the starry sky. Wang Jianchuan knew that it was the remnants of Wang Shizhen in the city that began to gather, and Wang Shizhen was preparing to gather most of his troops to regain the South Gate.

"How are the troops of General Nie Shicheng and Commander Feng Guozhang now?" Wang Jianchuan asked lowered his telescope.

He Shan replied: "Teacher Feng Guozhang has led five regiments of troops to successfully penetrate the right wing of the Jiang defense position, and General Nie Shicheng also led the troops of three divisions to start landing on the north shore. However, due to the large number of new Beiyang troops and they seemed to have received Wang Shizhen's death order, they were fighting to the death at this time, preparing to fight to trap beasts!"

Wang Jianchuan grabbed his head. Although more than 200 lone wolf successfully destroyed the Beiyang New Army's ammunition depot in the first half of the night, he also ambushed many Beiyang New Army reinforcements near East Street. Although his own casualties were not large, each lone wolf consumed a lot of energy and there was not much ammunition left!

The reason why the lone wolf was able to succeed was because it unexpectedly attacked him. At this time, if he really wanted to resist face to face with the Beiyang New Army, which had more than 5,000 regiments in the city above this southern gate, even if he relied on advanced weapons, he would still support him soon!

Wang Jianchuan fell into deep worries. The tenacity of the defenders on the Jiang Defense position exceeded his imagination, and the pace of reinforcements supporting the South Gate was delayed a lot!

At this moment, Wang Shizhen was struggling with the remnants of the city to regain the South Gate!

Wang Jianchuan was cruel and ordered: "Everyone is ready to fight immediately. Target: The new Beiyang army in the city must persevere until the commander's reinforcements arrive!

"Yes! Captain!" All the lone wolf replied in unison. They were all elites who had fought bloody battles. When they were in Liaodong, they had faced with tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry. They were naturally not afraid of the Beiyang New Army that was rushing towards them at this time!

With the order of resistance, the well-trained lone wolf began to redistribute ammunition, each finding the best shooting position, staring at the direction where the torches in the city were coming!

Two hundred lone wolf is ready to fight. They want to stop the five thousand Beiyang New Army from taking back the South Gate until their reinforcements arrive!

Wang Shizhen climbed a tall building in Jingzhou City. The roof of the tall building was just parallel to the ten-meter-high city wall. As he expected, there were not many enemy troops on the south gate wall in the eyepiece. He counted it briefly and it was no more than three hundred people in the end!

"Let the heavy machine gunners in the two regiments launch a general attack on the south gate immediately! Mortar platoon preparation! The other two regiments detour to the right wall and take the opportunity to climb the city gate!" Wang Shizhen ordered.

Wang Jianchuan clearly saw that the Beiyang New Army in the city began to launch a tense and orderly offensive against the South Gate. The Beiyang New Army actually had mortars, and it was a platoon of mortars!

When Wang Jianchuan saw this, his scalp was numb. He did not expect to destroy the arsenal in Jingzhou. Wang Shizhen actually had heavy firepower like a mortar?

Wang Jianchuan had only one idea at this time, that is, he hoped that his reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible. The two hundred people on the city tower are really not enough for other people to plug into the teeth!

"Chir..." Several sharp whistles sounded at the same time, which was the sound of the mortar being fired at the same time!

"Boom..." A few loud noises, several gorgeous sparks instantly bloomed on the city tower, and the powerful explosion almost pushed Wang Jianchuan down the city tower.

"Kill the enemy's mortars immediately!" Wang Jianchuan almost shouted.

At a distance of 1,500 meters, it is a bit difficult for ordinary snipers, but for Wang Jianchuan, it is just a little longer to prepare for aiming, and there are no less than ten ace snipers of the same level as him.

It is only a matter of time to knock out the enemy's artillery! At this time, what Wang Jianchuan lacks the most is time!

With a crisp gunshot, a mortar who was about to drop a bomb was instantly killed by Wang Jianchuan.

However, before Wang Jianchuan could breathe a sigh of relief, a row of bullets shot on the wall in front of him, stirring up dust and making his eyes fascinated. Wang Jianchuan quickly shrank his head. Damn, at some point, many Maxim machine guns approached the city gate.

This battle was a little hungry, and Wang Jianchuan muttered in his heart.

....

On the surface of the Yangtze River.

Tang Jian frowned slightly. He did not expect that the resistance of the Beiyang New Army on the Jiang Defense Position opposite would be so tenacious. Nie Shicheng's troops had already begun to land. Almost one and a half divisions had successfully landed. At this time, he was fighting with the Beiyang New Army on the shore.

Feng Guozhang's surprise troops have also fought with the Beiyang New Army, which means that the Beiyang Fleet's naval guns can no longer provide artillery support, so as not to accidentally hurt their own people. All they can rely on is the National Revolutionary Army that landed on the ashore.

Wang Jianchuan has been in Jingzhou City for several hours. If this continues, Wang Jianchuan's lone wolf will be submerged in the counterattack of the defenders in the city that have come back to his senses. Tang Jian secretly worried.

"Immediately call Feng Guozhang to send his vanguard troops to support the lone wolf in the South Gate!" Tang Jian ordered.

...

Feng Guozhang led five regiments to successfully attack the right wing of the Jiang defense position. Feng Guozhang's fierce offensive caused chaos in the Beiyang New Army on the Jiang defense position. The 501 Regiment led by Feng Yuxiang took the lead and successfully cut the Beiyang New Army on the right wing into several pieces. The main regiment of the 7th Division quickly ate a large number of enemy troops under the leadership of Jie Jiajun and Feng Yuxiang's 501 Regiment.

At this moment, Feng Guozhang suddenly sent a telegram to Feng Yuxiang and Jie Jiajun to quickly support the lonely wolves who were fighting hard on the south gate of Jingzhou City.

Feng Yuxiang and Jie Jiajun had to give up the already surrounded 311 regiment of the Beiyang New Army, quickly left the battlefield, and led their subordinates to rush towards the south gate.

...

Jingzhou City South Gate Tower.

"Bang!" Another loud noise, and several lonely wolves fell from the city tower with a scream.

Although most of the mortars of the Beiyang New Army have been killed by several ace snipers such as Wang Jianchuan, the enemy's close-range Maxim machine guns made them unable to raise their heads. The number of Maxim machine guns is too large. Snipers such as Wang Jianchuan cannot concentrate on shooting mortars, so they have to shoot one shot and change the place to avoid being covered by the dense and crazy bullets of the Maxim machine gun.

Once Wang Jianchuan and others were restricted from their movements, the mortars on the opposite side immediately fired artillery fire. After each shelling, a lone wolf was either hit or turned down from the city tower.

The city tower that Wang Jianchuan and others stubbornly guarded had completely become targets for various firepowers of the Beiyang New Army. What's even more critical is that a large number of Beiyang New Army emerged from somewhere in the corner of the city wall, and they were climbing towards the city wall.

Due to the huge gap in the number of people between the two sides, the lone wolf on the city gate began to feel a little overwhelmed and could only watch the arrested fish climb up the city wall.

Wang Jianchuan said in his heart: "Commander, we can only last half an hour at most! But we will never take a step back!

Thinking of this, Wang Jianchuan pulled the bolt again to find the target of hunting!

"Captain, look!" a lonely wolf shouted ecstatically.

Wang Jianchuan turned his head and immediately laughed, with tears in his eyes: "Haha, our reinforcements are finally here!"

In the fire, Feng Yuxiang and Jie Jiajun were running towards this side with a large number of reinforcements!

………

In the city of Jingzhou.

Wang Shizhen cursed: "You are all wastes, a group of wastes. Thousands of people can't even take down a city gate that is only guarded by two or three hundred people! Give you ten minutes, ten minutes! You can't get down the South Gate in ten minutes, and all the officers above the regiment level of the vanguard's troops will be shot!"

"Hiss" Wang Shizhen took a breath. He just got angry and touched the wound on his right leg. A heart-wrenching pain made him sweat.

Wang Shizhen raised the telescope again and wanted to continue to observe the battle situation outside the city, but he just took a look and his whole body was motionless as if it had become rigid. He didn't even notice that the telescope in his hand fell quietly.

"I lost, this time I was completely defeated!" Wang Shizhen murmured in despair, because he saw a large number of National Revolutionary Army that had begun to pour into the South Gate.

This means that the entire Jiang defense position has been lost, the army has arrived, and the city gate has opened. This game is really a miserable defeat!

Wang Shizhen smiled bitterly, the reinforcements leading should be Feng Guozhang! Wang Shizhen gently picked up the Zi Laida from his waist and looked at his temple with a bleak expression...
