The officers and men of the two companies led by Wang Huchen, the chief of staff of the instructor, were no easier than the attacking troops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When blockading the mansion of a wealthy man surnamed Yin in Xicheng, the officers and soldiers met with stubborn resistance from more than 50 family members raised by the Yin family.

The police company commander hurriedly shouted back to hide against the wall, and a grenade flew out of the yard again, and with a "boom" sound, the six brothers who had no time to hide were blown into the air.

More than a dozen brothers on the side immediately pounced on them and quickly carried away the six brothers who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The two squad leaders rushed to the gate and dragged the four brothers who were lying on the ground and screamed in pain out of the gate in turn.

"Boom-boom-"

At this moment, two bronze cannons erected under the eaves of the verandah at the back of the courtyard opened fire violently, and dense iron sand and lead bullets whistled in, and the two brothers who had not had time to drag out of the gate were splashed with flesh and blood, and suddenly there was no human appearance.

The sudden blow and heavy losses shocked the chief of staff, Wang Huchen, and angrily gave the order to attack with a grenade.

Xiao Zhanfei, the astute guard, pushed Wang Huchen, who was about to rush up, into the arms of the two guards, ran to the side of the police company commander and shouted, and led a platoon of brothers around the alley on the right and rushed to the backyard of the Yin family.

As soon as he arrived at the corner of the backyard, he saw more than ten guards surrounding several Yin family heads escaping from the back door in embarrassment, Xiao Zhanfei immediately raised his two guns and shot continuously, and a platoon of brothers next to him picked up his guns and shot, and in a blink of an eye, he knocked more than ten guards and the three heads of the Yin family to the ground.

The two squad leaders who were blocked behind pulled out the grenades on their waists, pulled the fire and threw them hard, and Xiao Zhanfei, who was so frightened that he rushed to the front and shouted, "Lie down".

"Boom—"

After the two explosions, three corpses rose into the air with the smoke of gunpowder, and the sturdy back door of the Yin family was also blown down.

Before the smoke cleared, Xiao Zhanfei and the brothers around him had already climbed up, pulled out their grenades, pulled the fuses, threw them into the backyard, rushed into the collapsed back door amid bursts of explosions, and fired mercilessly at all moving targets.

In less than ten minutes, the Yin family, a family that has been famous in Ruijin for more than 100 years, was wiped out, more than 50 family members did not survive, and only 14 servants and three girls were left in the more than 100 members of the family, and the courtyard covering an area of more than ten acres was full of bloody corpses.

"Concentrate the corpses and burn them on the spot, thoroughly search the entire yard, and dig three feet into the ground, and you can't let go of a piece of cloth or a copper plate!" Wang Huchen rushed to the city immediately after giving the order, and Xiao Zhanfei led the guard platoon to follow closely.

……

……

At this time, the pier south of the new city was completely controlled by the guard company, and the three large houses and two inns above the pier were occupied.

Not long after, the closed south gate of the city burst open, and the brothers of the third battalion and a company quickly rushed to the front dock, joined forces with the guard company, and began a comprehensive search.

Compared with the fierce fighting in Ximen New Town, the intensity of the fighting in Ruijin City was relatively low, and the county government compound where the puppet police gathered abandoned their weapons and surrendered after a short resistance, and the county magistrate and dozens of officials, large and small, were waiting to be captured, except for the police chief.

The streets of the city were empty, and all the houses were closed with their doors closed, trembling as the gunfire and explosions stopped.

On the wharf in the east of the city, all the ships were detained by a company of the second battalion, and more than 100 shipwrights and merchants were gathered in the warehouse to be guarded until three o'clock in the morning, when all the resistance outside the city was cleared, and the entire Ruijin City fell into the hands of the instructors and soldiers.

……

……

At five o'clock in the morning, two kilometers southeast of the capital, the pagoda was revisited.

"Report to the division commander, the chief of staff called, Ruijin took it!" The communications staff officer on duty ran from upstairs to downstairs and delivered the good news to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi, who had just gotten up, was very happy, his face was not washed or brushed, and he held the message and read it carefully:

"Good! Well done...... More than 460 long and short guns and 55 boxes of British-made TNT explosives (zhayao) were captured in this battle. This is exactly what we need at the moment...... There is a lot of money, and it's hard to count the house that is being raided, haha! ”

"Ruijin has always been the hub of trade between Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, and there will be no shortage of materials such as gold, silver and medicine. Haha......"

"Xiao Liu, help me prepare a message."

"Yes!"

Liu Hongxin, a young communications staff officer, immediately took out a pen and opened his notebook.

Zheng Yi thought for a moment and began to dictate the message: "Call Chief of Staff Wang: I am overjoyed that I have received good news, if I have captured a lot, I can temporarily give up attacking Huichang, and quickly escort the puppet county magistrate, officials at all levels, the top ten local tyrants and rich gentry, the relatives of officers at all levels of the security regiment, and all the prisoners to the capital, which is of great use!" Then forcibly recruit local youths and chariots and horses, mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, and transport all the captured back! Zheng. ”

Liu Hongxin quickly finished writing the telegram and handed it to Zheng Yi with both hands to sign.

Zheng Yi signed and instructed: "After sending a telegram to the chief of staff, forward the good news sent by the chief of staff to Political Commissar Li of Gan County." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Liu Hongxin left, Han Zixu, who lived on the second floor of the pagoda, heard the movement, and walked quickly downstairs to ask curiously: "What, your chief of staff has captured Ruijin City?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded happily: "Sit down and talk, I'll pour you a cup of tea...... Did you sleep well last night? ”

"It's okay, although I am occasionally awakened by the sound of gunfire in the silent night sky, but at least it is much better than sleeping in a col." Han Zixu sat on the stool next to the square table, took the hot tea handed by Zheng Yi, hesitated for a long time, and finally revealed the relationship between Zheng and Han and the good relationship between himself and Zheng Yi's father, sister and brother-in-law.

"What!?"

Zheng Yi's eyes widened after hearing this, and it took a while before he beat Han Zixu's chest: "Hey, you guy, you are calm enough, is my eldest sister okay?" ”

Han Zixu smiled slightly: "She is very good, her career is very successful, but every time you mention it, you want to cry." ”

Zheng Yi sighed and shook his head: "What kind of tears...... has a successful career, fame and fortune, her husband is rich and obedient, and the child is ready to be born, as a woman, her life is already very complete, okay? ”

Han Zixu couldn't help laughing anymore, and it took a while before he stopped: "Interesting, interesting!" If Xiaoxuan heard you say this about her, I don't know how she would react, haha! ”

"Oh yes, your second sister was admitted to Cambridge University, and the other younger siblings are also very smart, what a family history!"

"Your father has a good reputation in Hong Kong's political and business circles, and he is very respected in various parts of Nanyang, and his status is steadily rising."

"In particular, the newly established News Asia Group, which has established cooperative relations with the two major news groups in the United Kingdom and the United States, has already established cooperative relations with the United Kingdom and the United States, and the next step is to merge the rapidly growing Shanghai Oriental News Agency into it."
