"Dalloy", tart bite".

The crisp sound of the primer was accompanied by the occasional roar of grenades.

"Boom! concubine".

Smoke filled the hallways and rooms, the choking smell filled almost every corner, bullet casings could be seen everywhere on the floor, and the marble splints on the walls were shattered by bullets and eventually scattered on the floor. Power had been cut off on some floors, and the hallways and rooms were dimly lit, except for the muzzle flame flickering, with the occasional pillar of flashlight sweeping past and then quickly vanishing.

It's a hand-to-hand battle, a scuffle, and the soldiers on both sides often can't tell whether the enemy is shooting at the other side, and the only thing they need to do is to suppress the opponent's fire with their own side and make sure they can hold their ground until they find out who the other side is.

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions was mixed with the shouts of the officers, some of whom were ordering their subordinates to make tactical maneuvers, while others were shouting to the enemy to make the enemy soldiers surrender.

"Brothers on the other side! Everyone is Chinese, listen to the advice of brothers, don't work for careerists! Come to us! We are counterinsurgency forces! We are defending the republican system, defending the constitutional system".

"Brethren! Don't listen to their nonsense! We are the government army! They are coup troops! They are rebels! ”

"We have here the order of the President of the Republic of China! small

"We have here the warrant from the President of the Republic of China to quell the rebellion!"

"Stop fighting! It's all their own people."

In the melee, most fighters can't determine which side of the enemy and their own side represents real authority or justice, they just instinctively pull the trigger, while emboldening themselves to ensure that they are not killed by the other party, but one thing is very clear to both warring parties, that is, everyone is Chinese, and they are also wearing Chinese military uniforms, so there is really no need to be ruthless, so. The muzzle of the submachine gun tends to be upturned. The grenade is usually not thrown in a crowded area, and more importantly, as long as the officer is not present to command, the gunfire will stop immediately.

A farcical coup d'état, I am afraid that this is already the true thought in the minds of many officers and soldiers present, but will those who planned the coup think so? But it's hard to say, after all, people's minds can change at any time, especially those who are at a disadvantage.

Now, many of the congressmen who supported the coup have changed their stance and decided to stay in small offices. Wait for the counterinsurgency forces to rush in and take them away, then side with the president, who, after all, is now an authoritative representative recognized by both warring parties.

However, not all those who once supported the coup have now changed their minds, and some diehards still intend to resist stubbornly, with Rao's position being quite representative.

Unlike most parliamentarians, Rao Hanxiang voluntarily participated in this military coup from the beginning, and he, like Jiang Fuzhi, did not work for the president of the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong, they were working for the vice president, to be precise, they were all working for the chaebol force standing behind the vice president.

The current vice president of the Republic of China is Chen Yantian, who was originally just a remnant of the monarchy. Because he participated in the "Hunan and Guizhou Incident", he did not go smoothly and was suppressed by Zhao Bei, but later because he took refuge in the Beiyang Consortium, he was able to gradually rise, and quickly became a political star after the opening of the constitutional era, on the surface he is non-party and non-factional, but in fact, he is a heavyweight spokesperson of the Beiyang Consortium in the political circles, and the reason why he was able to take over the post of vice president after Zhang Han's death is because of the joint planning of the Beiyang Consortium and the Southeast Consortium. At that time, Li Yuanhong was also in urgent need of the support of the consortium, so Tan Yantian became the vice president so naturally.

In the matter of Zhu Yantian's appointment as vice president, Rao Hanxiang is the key person in the central connection, and it is precisely because of this that the current relationship between Rao Hanxiang and Chen Yanhui is very close, and it can be said that he is tied to a rope, and he is at a critical juncture. That's a stake of both prosperity and loss.

Jiang Fuzhi is Tan Yantian's hometown, and he is a distant relative, there is such a relationship, and the two can't join forces if they want to, so this is also two ants on a rope, and their interests are shared.

Since they are both people who work for Fu Yantian, then it is not surprising why since the battle broke out in the Capitol, this Rao Hanxiang and Jiang Fuzhi have always stood together, and the two of them even have the same weapons in their hands, both of which are state-style police revolvers.

Now, Rao Hanxiang and Jiang Fuzhi are standing in the office of Senate President Tang Hualong, listening to the sound of submachine gun fire coming from downstairs, while anxiously waiting for Tang Hualong's return.

Tang Hualong ran out of the office just now, saying that he should go to the vice president to postpone his return, the person has been gone for more than ten minutes, but he still hasn't come back, Rao Hanxiang and Jiang Fuzhi are of course extremely anxious, the two of them carry pistols, keep walking around the office, and look at the alarm clock from time to time, it is already eight o'clock in the morning, but they still do not hear the sound of the aircraft engine in the sky.

According to the contingency plan in the coup plan, once the coup failed, the top figures of the coup group would use the air force to escape from the capital, and it was not an ordinary plane, but an aircraft called a "helicopter", which was different from ordinary planes in that its main propeller was neither in front nor behind, and on top of the plane, the tail of the plane was equipped with a tail rotor.

The take-off and landing of such an aircraft does not require a dedicated runway, it can take off vertically. Vertical landing, this helicopter was successfully developed at the beginning of the year, the person in charge of the development of this aircraft is a special aviation technical group, and the leader of the team is a foreign technical expert, named Sikorsky, he is Russian, fled to the Far Eastern Republic after the Russian Revolution, four husbands to the United States, founded an aviation technology company, but the management is not good" An aircraft company in the corpse country acquired, after that, Mr. Sikorsky was hired by the aircraft company as a consultant, came to China to serve, and later was hired by the China Aviation Administration, Directed helicopter development as a senior consultant.

The decision to hire Sikorsky was Zhao Beina's idea. And it turned out that Zhao Bei's choice was correct, and in the process of developing the helicopter, Zhao Bei also played a key role, he was not only a senior adviser to the technical research team, but also provided financial guarantee for the development work. More importantly, the tail rotor used to counteract the reaction force when the main rotor rotates is Zhao Bei's "invention." Before that, Sikorsky and his research team had been worn.

After the successful development of the helicopter, it was not immediately put into mass production, and only five prototypes were built, and they have been tested at the Nanyuan Aviation Base, although the test work is confidential, but at least Lu Jin, the Minister of National Defense, knows about the existence of this new aircraft, and it is precisely because of this that this new aircraft has also entered the field of vision of the coup group.

Now that the Capitol is surrounded by counterinsurgency forces and the roads on the ground are impassable, the sky is the only retreat for the putschists if they want to flee, and the only means of transport available in this environment is a helicopter that can land on the roof. And now, what Rao Hanxiang and Jiang Fuzhi are waiting for is the helicopter, they plan to flee with the vice president, as for where to flee, they have no clear goal, they can only go to Tianjin first.

According to the plan, Lu Jin, chief of national defense, transferred two helicopters from the Nanyuan Air Base yesterday afternoon, handed them over to reliable pilots, and hid them in a private farm on the outskirts of Beijing.

Just now, Rao Hanxiang had asked Tang Hualong to send a telegram with the only radio transceiver in the Capitol, and ordered the pilots to take off immediately and go to the Capitol to prepare to pick them up and flee. Now calculate the time, if the pilot did not escape, then the plane should have flown over.

But the plane didn't come, and nothing could be heard in the sky.

Rao Hanxiang walked to the window, lifted the curtain through a crack, and looked at the sky.

"The rain has stopped, why hasn't this plane come yet?"

Jiang Fuzhi on the side also walked over, stood behind Rao Hanxiang and shouted impatiently, and checked the bullets in the pistol again.

"The rain has stopped, but it's still very cloudy. The pilot was afraid that he didn't dare to take off Rao Hanxiang sighed, at this time, the gunfire downstairs was more intensive, and his mood was even worse.

"What are you doing?" Rao Hanxiang noticed that Jiang Fuzhi was checking the bullets in the pistol, and his brows furrowed.

"What? Lao Tzu would rather be beaten to death than be taken prisoner

Jiang Fuzhi smiled cruelly and slapped the pistol's revolver back with a "snap".

Rao Hanxiang lifted the pistol in his hand and looked at it. His face became even more ugly, he didn't want to die in the Capitol, he still hoped that the helicopter could arrive as soon as possible, land on the roof, and pick him up, in fact, there were still some people like him who were waiting for the helicopter to arrive, and those people had even fled to the rooftop, and the pistol in Rao Hanxiang's hand was actually to ensure his right to board.

Just when the two people in the office were thinking about their own thoughts. The figure at the door flickered, and Tang Hualong ran back. looked panicked, and there was a person behind him, but it was not Vice President Yan Yantian, but Xiong Chengji, the leader of the Constitutional Party, who was also heavily armed and carrying a submachine gun in his hand.

"What about the vice president? Didn't find it? Rao Hanxiang hurriedly asked.

"Please, that kid isn't a thing! He surrendered". Tang Hualong took a sip.

"What? Did you surrender? The message is true?. Rao Hanxiang was a little unconvinced.

"I saw with my own eyes, just downstairs, waving a white towel in the corridor, surrendering to the enemy soldiers, and with him, a group of congressmen."

Xiong Chengji nodded, walked to the window and lifted the curtain to look at the square downstairs, and saw that Yan Yantian was being escorted into a truck by a group of soldiers, and after Tan Yantian got into the car. The truck quickly left the Capitol and headed north.

"So" what do we do?" Jiang Fuzhi asked in amazement.

"Rush up! Rushed up".

Without waiting for others to answer, another person rushed in from outside the door, but it was Zhang Zuoshuang, as soon as he entered the house, he threw the submachine gun in his hand on the sofa in a hurry, and then shouted.

"Please ask Yantian that bastard to surrender by himself, not to mention, but also to ask the soldiers to surrender with him. There is no one guarding downstairs, and now, Zhao Bei's soldiers have rushed up! Lao Tzu is the commander of the light pole, and Lao Tzu will stop fighting".

After shouting, Zhang Zuoshuang sat down on the sofa in frustration, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to make unnecessary resistance, so let's do it ourselves. This coup farce. It's time for the curtain call. ”

Xiong Chengji also threw the submachine gun he was holding on the sofa, and then threw his hand at Rao Hanxiang and Jiang Fu, then turned his head and walked out of the office without looking back.

"It's over, it's all over! We're left to fate

Tang Hualong also sat down in the corner in frustration, and like Zhang Zuoshuang, he also closed his eyes and waited for death.

"I don't believe it, you can't find a few backpads before lying down!"

Jiang Fuzhi shouted with red eyes and threw down the pistol. Picking up a submachine gun from the couch, he rushed out of the office, and a few minutes later, the already silent downstairs was filled with the sound of submachine gun fire, and then everything fell silent again.

Rao Hanxiang walked to the window and opened the curtains. The room was immediately lit up, and I looked at the streets of soldiers and tanks in front of the Capitol. He let out a long sigh.

"Zhou Xuexi, we have been hurt by you." (To be continued.)
