Stumbling along the way, dangerously avoiding the Qing army in the city, whether it is passers-by or patrolling, in short, it only takes more than ten minutes under normal circumstances, and Xu Guichuan's second company walked for an hour.

At this time, Xu Guichuan led the second company to lie on a hillside in the city, and a large open space below was the camp of the Qing army stationed in Hekou County, which was brightly lit, lively and peaceful.

Xu Guichuan looked at the defenseless Qing army in front of him, but he was a little nervous in his heart, and said silently According to the agreement, it is close to midnight at this time, and there should be a fight at the south gate, why is there no movement now.

Sanlian must have already arrived at the North Gate, which is not far from here. If it goes smoothly according to the agreement, he will definitely be able to successfully save his brother and lay down the estuary, but he is afraid that something will happen at the south gate.

Xu Guichuan did start to get nervous and worried in his heart.

Just when Xu Guichuan was getting more and more worried, suddenly, the sound of rapid bolt-action rifle continuous shooting in the direction of the south gate resounded throughout Hekou County.

Xu Guichuan was stunned for a moment, let go of his impatient heart, and the noisy garrison camp below gradually quieted down, listening to the intermittent gunshots coming from the direction of the south gate, the Qing army in the camp finally understood what was going on.

Then Xu Guichuan saw that a middle man in a general's uniform walked out of the middle of the camp below, and then the Qing army began to slowly and leisurely pick up the weapons stacked not far away, and slowly lined up in a formation towards the southern city gate.

Xu Guichuan didn't care whether the Qing army's movements were slow or fast, he only cared about how many people remained in the camp now.

The number of Qing troops who reinforced the south gate was about 800 people, and the Qing troops who stayed in the camp were definitely less than 100 people.

Xu Guichuan was relieved, but he still did not immediately attack the camp to rescue his arrested brother.

He was waiting, waiting for the gunfire of the Makqin heavy machine gun at the south gate to sound, lest the gunfire on his side, the Qing army that went to reinforce quickly killed the horse gun, and he did not have a heavy machine gun, so he was easily overwhelmed by the crowd ten times his own.

The Qing army had more than 800 reinforcements in the past, and if the heavy machine guns were not used at the south gate, they would definitely face great pressure.

On the south gate side, the city gate was closed, and the company led by Liao Zhongyuan had already knocked down the south gate tower without losing a single person, and more than 100 rifles and a heavy machine gun had been erected on the city gate tower, but the direction of the muzzle was inside the city.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the Qing troops who had come over slowly appeared in Liao Zhongyuan's field of vision, all with torches, and in front of them was a general wearing a general's uniform and riding a high-headed horse. Liao Zhongyuan knew that this person should be the foreign commissar of the Qing Army's Hekou garrison, and he had already pronounced the death sentence in his heart.

Then he ordered: "Let the enemy go within fifty meters, and then give me all fire, no need to save bullets." "Liao Zhongyuan's idea is to defeat the Qing army as soon as possible, and the kind that will directly collapse the army before he sees what the opponent looks like. Otherwise, if the Qing army, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, can calm down, it will still be able to bring a great threat to its own side.

Therefore, the boss of this Qing army, Foreign Affairs Commissar, had to be killed as soon as possible.

Three hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, because it was dark, the Qing army that came over to reinforce it could not see the specific situation of the row of people on the city gate tower clearly, and thought that they were all their own people.

Immediately, the gunfire rang out, the power of the heavy machine gun was naturally undoubted, the penetrating power of the machine gun, at such a close distance, the bodies of the first few rows of Qing soldiers swayed in the line of fire crossed by bullets, and a blood mist rose on the body of the Qing army, and then fell to the ground.

In an instant, the crowd of the Qing army was ploughed straight for several layers like a plow, and the general who commanded it, the foreign commissar Qianzong, was also shot in the head by Huang Zhongyuan with a rifle at the first time.

A company, the gate tower of the estuary, rifles, and heavy machine guns were still spitting tongues of fire, and the Qing army of more than 800 people died all over the place, and the rest were suppressed by the fire, so they could only lie on the ground with their heads clenched, eager to squeeze their whole bodies into the soil.

In the second company, Xu Guichuan heard the sound of heavy machine guns at the south gate, and immediately led his subordinates to rush to the Qing army camp stationed in Hekou below, and dozens of fierce and vicious people suddenly fell from the sky in front of him, so frightened that more than 80 people who stayed in the camp instantly knelt down and surrendered, and Xu Guichuan saved the brothers of more than 200 people who were arrested without a single shot.

At the same time, the third company easily captured the north gate with a few shots and captured more than a dozen Qing troops guarding the north gate.

Subsequently, the second and third companies met and surrounded the main force of the Qing army at the south gate.

Eventually, all the battles in the county seat of Hekou were over.

Once again, the estuary fell into the hands of the revolutionary rebels.

In the early morning, Huang Zhongting led reinforcements of 100 people and also rushed to Hekou County. The battle is over, all that's left is to clean up and clean up. The estuary fell into his own hands, and Huang Zhongting's nervous heart was relieved, and taking the estuary was the most important step in the goal he had set.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with an estuary, it is equivalent to having a small place to stay. The next step is to see the actions of the imperial court, the most important of which is to see how the Yunnan Governor's Mansion in Kunming makes a move.

Huang Zhongting, accompanied by his three powerful company commanders, once again came to the Hekou County Ya, which was a temporary foothold for the previous rout, and now he planned to live here for a long time.

"Hard work, Uncle Liao, Uncle Xu, Brother Zhongyuan", Huang Zhongting bowed to the three of them, because the status of Hekou County in Huang Zhongting's heart is too important, so there is this scene, Huang Zhongting is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them hurriedly helped Huang Zhongting up, not daring to accept this gift. Xu Guichuan said seriously: "Young army commander, we have been following the army commander since we participated in the anti-Qing uprising, and now there are successors to the army commander, it is the young army commander who led us to change the days of fleeing, and I will obey you." ”

Liao Zhongyi and Huang Zhongyuan also expressed their positions one after another.

"Okay, since you believe me, then I will also make a statement: "We will win a better tomorrow for everyone." Huang Zhongting also said seriously.

Then he briefly listened to Huang Zhongyuan's report on the battle process, nodded and said: "Send someone to pick up my father and them, clean up the battle situation, prisoners, food and grass materials as soon as possible, settle the more than 200 brothers who were captured before, and then find a place to rest." ”

Huang Zhongting is also a little tired, although there are many things for him to decide now, but in this life, he cares about his body very much, health is the most important, don't wait until the end of his hard work to cheapen others.
