On the morning of the next day, the traffic boat that turned from the Dongjiang River to the south of the Shima River sailed to Zhangmutou Town, and slowly docked, because the depth of the river could not pass through the 300-ton ship, the 300 teachers and students of the Huangpu Phase III Student Corps, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took action to quickly unload the materials on board, and then carried more than 200 wounded people onto the boat and urgently sent them to major hospitals in Guangzhou for treatment.

Zheng Yi sent off his brother Zhou Junruo, who escorted the wounded back to Guangzhou, politely refused the horses sent by the district captain of the student corps, and walked behind Yu Feipeng on horseback and Colonel Chen Gongliang of the Political Department with a squad of guards led by Adjutant Xu.

Looking at the miles stretching for miles, full of students carrying shoulders and people driving ox carts, Zheng Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly: This place is forty-five kilometers away from Tamsui City, and at the current marching speed, it will be fast to reach Tamsui by this time tomorrow.

The long burden-bearing team marched for three and a half hours to Qingxi Town, and the two hundred teachers and students of the third phase of the student corps who stayed in the town had already prepared meals, and Chief Yu and other senior officers were greeted by several captains, and entered the wide ancestral hall to eat with a few polite words, Zheng Yi refused Adjutant Xu's retention, took a large porcelain bowl and walked out of the courtyard, and went to the third phase of the students to mix a meal.

The rice provided for the students and the people is of high quality and quantity, but each person only has a scoop of boiled vegetables with no minced meat, and Zheng Yi, who has never been a picky eater, does not dislike it, squatting on the stone slab under the big tree after finishing the meal, observing the reactions of the students and the materials that are closely guarded not far away.

"Instructor Zheng, why are you here?" Huang Gongluo, who had listened to Zheng Yi's lectures many times, was pleasantly surprised, and several other students also hurried up to say hello.

Zheng Yi nodded frequently in return: "Sit down, you're welcome, there are no big fish and meat, and you can't stand up." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Zhu Hua, who was upright and quiet, was very curious when he saw Zheng Yi carrying a rifle and neat leggings: "Instructor Zheng, are you going to the battlefield?" ”

Only then did the students notice that Zheng Yi was dressed no different from themselves, and they asked all kinds of questions out of curiosity.

Zheng Yi had no choice but to pick a few questions and answer: "I don't go to eat Xiaozao because I'm still young, and I don't feel that I am any different from you; I don't ride horses because I'm young, and I don't have enough horses, and many instructors with higher ranks than me also march on foot......"

"As for the rifle I have on my back, it's a little different, you all know that I'm from the Quartermaster's Department, for this Mosin. The Nagant rifle, I carefully selected five rifles from the first batch of rifles provided by Russia, and for the next four months I fired more than 3,000 rounds from the five rifles I picked out, and finally I was left with this one on my back! ”

"It can be said that the rifle behind me is one of the best in a thousand in terms of manufacturing process, manufacturing accuracy, assembly quality and shooting effect, and can be used as a high-precision sniper rifle...... By the way, remember that I gave you a lesson on sniper rifle weapons, and you should have an impression. ”

The students are extremely envious, this one says that Instructor Zheng is detrimental to the public and private interests, the other says that the building near the water is the first to get the moon, and even more envy Zheng Yi for being able to shoot more than 3,000 bullets.

Zheng Yi hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, except for the 120 rounds of more than 3,000 bullets that were issued by collective targeting, the others were all bought back by the same amount of Mauser rifle cartridges out of my own pocket, and I didn't make the slightest advantage from the military school, the only guilt is that I can pick the best one out of thousands of rifles, and you don't have this opportunity." ”

After the students were surprised, they were all in awe, and then they looked at Zheng Yi's same outfit as themselves, holding the same meal in his hand, and suddenly felt much more cordial.

Trainee Peng Ziyan broke the silence: "Instructor Zheng, how is your marksmanship?" ”

Zheng Yi said very immodestly: "Since the end of last year, my marksmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, using this rifle on my back to shoot in a lying position, nine out of ten shots can hit the head of a humanoid target at a distance of 200 meters, unfortunately the target has no life, not as good as a living person, so the biggest wish on the front line this time is to kill a few enemies to open a good fortune." ”

All the students were dumbfounded, shocked by Zheng Yi's superb marksmanship, and shocked by his heroism in his determination to kill the enemy.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly and began to eat, while the students thought silently and ate silently.

Half an hour later, the team continued to advance, and the speed of the march did not slow down due to the addition of more than 200 fresh troops, and with the guidance of experienced instructors, the team of nearly 1,000 people maintained its speed and endurance well.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, the marching party arrived at the town, which was only 15 kilometers away from Tamsui City, and learned that the main forces were still unable to conquer Tamsui after a day of fierce fighting, and the teachers and students could no longer care about fatigue and hunger, and asked the commanders to continue to advance, and finally shouted the slogan "Arrive one minute earlier, win one minute earlier".

In the face of the hundreds of cadets who were full of morale and excited, the officers and commanders at all levels were very moved, discussed it slightly, and immediately issued an order to "continue to advance with all their might."

At midnight, the convoy transporting supplies arrived in Tamsui amid the sporadic sound of gunfire and cannons, and the burning torches that stretched for five miles frightened the defenders in the city and made the erroneous conclusion that "the reinforced Whampoa army was no less than 3,000 people", and the morale of the defenders gradually faded, and the number of people who were ready to flee for their lives continued to increase.

Upon learning that the contingent transporting the supplies had arrived, President Chiang, Director Zhou, General Ye, chief of staff of the Second Division of the Guangdong Army, and more than 10 generals who were still discussing the siege plan came out to greet them in person, praised the students' perseverance and high revolutionary spirit, and ordered the personnel of the headquarters and the officers and men of the regiment to immediately bury the pot and make food, and never let a single student or a citizen go hungry.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the general attack began again, and the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Huangpu Army were instructed to launch a more fierce attack on the south of Tamsui City, and the 1st Brigade of the Guangdong Army and the 2nd Division of the Guangdong Army launched attacks from the northeast and northwest directions respectively.

Zheng Yi obtained the consent of Chief Yu and joined the general reserve composed of infantry scientists of the second phase of the student corps, and worked closely with the engineers, artillery, and baggage soldiers of the main regiment to approach the battlefield.

Before the artillery bombardment of the attack was over, one hundred and five warriors of the brave team selected by the soldiers of the two main regiments rushed out of their positions, carried up the siege ladder, and rushed to the city wall filled with gunsmoke.

The light and heavy machine guns of the defending enemy opened fire one after another after the cannonfire stopped, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of brave soldiers who rushed to the middle were knocked down, and the grenades thrown from the city walls were bombarded, and the thick smoke of gunpowder flickered non-stop.

The first death-defying charge of the Whampoa elite was aborted, and the battalions and companies that approached the front opened fire one after another, so that nearly half of the brave soldiers were able to bring back all the dead and wounded comrades.

The dense gunfire and explosions that lasted for more than half an hour gradually thinned out, and Jin Fozhuang, the commander of the third battalion of the second regiment, was stunned for a moment when he received the report from his subordinates, and immediately ordered all companies and platoons to hurry up to replenish ammunition and clean up weapons, and then bent down and ran to the junction of the main battalion and the second battalion, grabbed Zheng Yi, who had mixed in at some point, and scolded in a low voice: "If you want to die, sign up for the brave team!" ”

"That's not good, I went to the Brave Team and wasted it, you see......"

Zheng Yi lay on the bunker and pointed in the direction of the city: "According to my observation, about fifteen meters to the right of the enemy's flag, the heavy machine gun is the most threatening, and the entire charging fan is under the blow of the heavy machine gun, so I want to kill him." ”

Jin Fozhuang was stunned, and the commander of the spy company who came later, Lou Jingyue, smiled: "Brother Zheng, do you know how far our position is from the city?" ”

"About four hundred and eighty meters." Zheng Yi replied casually.

Lou Jingyue was stunned, and was about to ask how do you know, Jin Fozhuang asked first: "It seems that you really have a set, I have observed for a long time and calculated repeatedly to get the accurate distance, you guy just came for a while and said it right, right?" ”

Zheng Yi took out the Zeiss Navy commemorative telescope from the leather box on his waist: "Just look at it and count the scales in the glasses." ”

Jin Fozhuang took the delicate telescope and admired it repeatedly, and then raised it up and observed it carefully: "It's too clear, good goods are good goods...... Gee! Even half of the face of the enemy machine gunner can be seen clearly, the Germans are really advanced! With this telescope, things are simple...... That's right, exactly between four hundred and five hundred meters on the scale, look at the ......"

"Let me see."

Lou Jingyue was so envious that he waited until Jin Fozhuang handed over the binoculars, took it, and quickly observed.

Jin Fozhuang asked Zheng Yi suspiciously: "This distance is beyond the limit of eyesight, it is difficult to hit such a far target, not to mention that the enemy's machine gunner is surrounded by sandbags on both sides in front of him, and the width between them is at most one foot, it's difficult!" ”

Zheng Yi pointed to the big protruding stone in front of the position: "Do you see that stone?" The distance is about 150 meters, the flash under the stone is water, I estimate that it is a waterhole, through the telescope, about two meters long, three meters wide, the depth is not known, it is estimated that it will not be too deep, just constitute a natural bunker, as long as I run there, I can accurately shoot the machine gunner at the head of the city, and the probability of being killed by the flying bullets is not high...... Well, that is, it may not be big, unless you are very lucky, it is still very safe. ”

"Are you sure?"

Jin Fozhuang was tempted, as long as he knocked out the heavy machine gun that posed the greatest threat, the rest would be easy to do.

Zheng Yi snatched the telescope that Lou Jingyue was reluctant to return to him, and neatly put it in the leather box on his waist: "How do you know if you don't try it?" In theory, my plan was feasible, and the distance and dash calculations weren't too far off, and if I succeeded, I could reduce the enemy's firepower by at least a third, and the risk was worth taking. ”

"Taking a step back, even without me, the brothers still have to attack the city, so there is no need to think about it so much, and after the bombardment of the city will be carried out later, I will rush forward as fast as I can, and I will be in place in twenty seconds at most...... Say hello to the brothers of several groups of the 2nd Regiment Brave Team, and as long as the heavy machine gun at the head of the city stops firing, you will rush to the city wall as fast as you can, and do not hesitate to rush, as long as you reach the foot of the city wall, no guns can be fired. ”

"According to my speculation, the enemy threw grenades for ten minutes just now, and according to the calculation of three times the main equipment of the Guangdong army, there should not be many grenades left."

Jin Fozhuang thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and gave Zheng Yi a punch: "I'm going to report to the head of the regiment, you get ready, remember, you must survive!" ”

Twenty minutes passed, and he didn't see Jin Fozhuang come back, Zheng Yi felt that his plan had come to naught, and was about to change his posture to lie on his side to rest, when the eight artillery pieces mobilized to the rear of the position roared in unison, and the cannonballs accurately fell on the city wall that was more than 100 meters long, and the flames and smoke aroused instantly flooded the outline of the city.

As soon as the second salvo of shells flew out of the muzzle, Zheng Yi immediately jumped out of the position, like a leopard chasing its prey, the speed became faster and faster, and before the brothers on the position could see what was going on, Zheng Yi had already pounced into the waterhole a hundred meters away in front of him, and the high water curtain that was stirred up flashed a colorful color under the illumination of the flames.
