The rain in Anqing Nanying gradually stopped, and the wind was a little lighter.

Zhang Huitao waved his hand with a gloomy face, and another group of death squads rushed forward in the face of bullets from the city. This is already the sixth batch, and the previous batches were all beaten back by the rain of bullets pouring from the city.

This Nanda camp has already caused more than 1,000 losses to the Hui Party under Zhang Huitao, and several weaker people have been uprooted. Despite the heavy losses, Zhang Huitao could not stop, and if so many people died in vain, and could not get weapons, money, food and grass as compensation, he, the second-way ruler, would definitely be dismantled by his subordinates.

The form at this moment does not allow him to hesitate and hesitate, let alone allow him to be kind.

The firepower of the defending side was noticeably weakened. The soldiers of the Huaishang Army, who were carrying ladders on their waists, finally approached the city wall that they hated to death. Under the city wall more than six zhang high, there are piles of dead corpses, layer upon layer, blood mixed with rain dyed the land below red, young faces have not taken off childishness, most of them have not yet married wives and children, have not enjoyed the happiness of flowers and candles in the cave house, they have become cold corpses under the city wall of Nandaying.

Ladders leaned against the city wall, and the members of the Huaishang Army climbed up in fear, and they were greeted not by the bullets of foreign guns, but by huge city bricks. More than two feet long, one foot thick, and weighing fifty pounds of city bricks rained down. The sturdy jujube wood ladder was often smashed into two sections after being hit by a brick, and the Huaishang Junhui party climbing on it broke their hands and feet one after another, and fell on the corpses below wailing in pain.

"Smash, smash these bastards for me!" He Tianshou roared angrily.

The defenders' bullets were about to run out, as long as they relied on the remaining bricks of the city wall to defend themselves, if Gu Mazi couldn't come back with cannons and machine guns within a quarter of an hour, the southern camp would probably be breached.

The Huaishang army under the city is still overwhelming, like thousands of ants, and the scalp is numb to watch, and the defenders of the large camp are less than 400 people, and the moans of the wounded soldiers in the battlements of the city wall make the hard-hearted people grief.

"Ahh

A city brick went down, and the Huai Shangjun, who was crawling up the ladder with his waist bent, was smashed and his brain burst and tumbled and fell to the head of the city, and he took a few comrades who were climbing up with him. The guy with the flowering head was already dead in mid-air, and the corpse broke the bones and tendons of the others.

With a bang, the defender at the head of the city who had just dropped the stone also fell, and the corpse and the Huai Shangjun who were stoned to death by him fell tightly together, and the enemy who fought for his life before his life seemed to be two closest partners.

The machine guns and platoon guns of the Huaishang army under the city pressed the defenders, who had run out of bullets, to raise their heads. He Tianshou picked up a city brick with his own hands and threw it down, he felt numb on his body, looked down and was stunned, his arm was bitten by a bullet and a hole the size of a teacup, and one arm was completely unable to move. After the feeling of numbness and crispiness passed, there was a huge pain, the blood dyed the entire sleeve of the military uniform red, dripping on the city wall, Lao He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, picked up a ghost-headed knife with his uninjured left arm, and raised his hand to split the shoulder strap arm of a bandit soldier who had just climbed the city wall into two pieces.

A pro-soldier ran over and exclaimed, "Battalion commander, you are injured!" Medical officer, call the medical officer! ”

He Tianshou's eyes were cracked, and he kicked him on the heel. said sharply: "What do you care about Lao Tzu? Don't go kill the thief yet! ”

With tears in his eyes, the soldier raised his bayonet and stabbed down a bandit with an axe, but was stabbed through two bloodstained red tassel guns. He Tianshou's heart was broken, and he fought back and forth on the city wall with a big knife, and he was invincible everywhere he went. More than a dozen soldiers were afraid that he would lose, so they swarmed around him to protect him at the core.

More and more Huaishang troops climbed the wall, and the supporting firepower below gradually weakened for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, and the defenders picked with bayonets and smashed them with rifle butts, and the wounded soldiers also struggled to fight the enemy with teeth and fists. Many wounded soldiers hugged a soldier of the Huaishang Army, shouting slogans of "Long live the Republic of China" and "Long live freedom", rolled down the city wall, and died with the enemy!

This kind of fierce fight without fear of death finally exhausted the courage of the Huaishang army, and they still had the courage to shoot at the defenders from a long distance, but the face-to-face bayonet scared their courage when they saw red. Since they started fighting against the Qing Dynasty, they have never seen such a brave enemy. Many student soldiers who followed the uprising of the teacher Zhang Huitao were even more confused, the other party shouted the same slogan as themselves, fought for the same faith, and was also an anti-Qing rebel army, why did they fight to the death here?

The Huaishang army, which had the advantage of numbers, climbed down from the ladder one after another, and many people simply jumped down with their heads in their hands, preferring to fall to death rather than be stabbed in the intestines by bayonets.

In this round of fighting, the defenders suffered more than 100 casualties, and less than 300 people could continue the battle if they were lightly wounded. But they also killed more than 200 Huaishang troops who were besieging the city.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Huaishang army had not yet attacked, the medical officers bandaged the wounded one by one, but there were not many medicines in the camp, and most of the wounded medicines were also on the side of the ordnance station.

"Morphine, I want morphine??? Who the fuck has a big cigarette, just get me a sip, it hurts me to death! The wounded soldier couldn't help but cry out in pain.

He Tianshou roared with a hideous face: "It's all gentlemen with eggs in their crotch, keep your mouth shut for Lao Tzu, isn't it a shame for ghosts to shout and scream?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt lightheaded, and the soles of his feet fell like cotton, and the medical officer hurried over to examine him, only to find that there was only a little flesh and skin on his right arm that was still glued together, and the bones were completely broken like honeycombs.

The medical officer bandaged his wound briefly, poured two sips of soju, and He Tianshou woke up leisurely, and as soon as he woke up, he shouted in a hoarse and low voice: "Two stunned, six confused." ”

Two officers hurried over.

He Tianshou took a few breaths, and said with the last trace of strength: "If Lao Tzu dies, the second stunned man will be the battalion commander, and if your kid dies, the sixth confused will be the battalion commander??? The battalion commander died, the company commander commanded, the company commander died, the platoon commander commanded, the platoon commander died, and the squad leader and the veteran commanded??? The governor has explained that he must have lasted six hours, and we have already endured three hours! ”

The two nodded yes with tears, and He Tianshou felt the world spinning again, and he passed out again.

The second stunned and the sixth confused looked at each other, their faces were full of bitterness, there were still two and a half hours, and at this moment the ammunition was exhausted, and there were not even a few city bricks left, how could they survive this time?

"Damn the ball up, don't die for 10,000 years! It's a big deal, the governor will avenge our brother! The second stunned looked at the Huaishang Army under the city, gritted his teeth, and said.

Zhang Huitao kept wiping his glasses with a towel, he was calm on the surface, but he was already in a mess, he regretted that he shouldn't underestimate the enemy, if he had known that the Nanda camp was so difficult, he should have used one or two thousand people to entangle here, and the main force went to attack the ordnance station. It's too late to get out now, more than a thousand people died under the city, if you say that you give up attacking Nanda Camp at this time, those green forest bandits who have lost their troops will definitely fight back immediately.

"Brothers, the soldiers in the Nanda camp are out of bullets, let's rush again to wipe them out, and after taking the Nanda camp, we will seize the armory, and the captured weapons, ammunition and treasury will be returned to the public, and the rest will be yours??? Let's have fun with it for half a month, no, a month! Zhang Huitao lifted a breath of dantian qi and shouted loudly.

This sentence made the extremely demoralized bandit soldiers suddenly cheer up, the lack of ammunition on the city is already an obvious thing, if it wasn't for the bandits just now, they might have captured the southern battalion!

The meaning of Zhang Huitao's words is obvious, whoever robs something within a month will be whom, and whoever robs the woman will be an aunt, as long as he gives up his life to take Anqing, everyone can be a rich man!

A spy from the Huaishang Army stumbled over, breathless and said: "Zhang Dashuai, Ganjun, Ganjun ???"

"Slow down, what's wrong with the Gan army?"

"The Gan army ran away!"

Zhang Huitao was stunned for a moment, and then took out his pistol with a cruel smile: "You dare to talk nonsense and disturb the hearts of our army?" ”

There was a thud of gunshot, and the spy fell with a look of disbelief. Zhang Huitao's face was already distorted and hideous, and he grinded his teeth and said: "Rush me, whoever dares to take a step back, all of them will be killed??? Overseer prepares! ”

The overseers lined up in a row with steel knives in their hands, and several soldiers pulled up a red rope, and those who dared to retreat across this line were all killed!

Zhang Huitao knew in his heart that Huang Huanzhang must have escaped, and he was already alone at this moment??? But there was no way back for him. From the moment he entered the city, he knew that he had no way out, and at the gate of the city, he did not see the notice of the change of governor of Anhui, only a notice of Anmin, and he still used the big seal of the Anhui Military Advisory Office. The content is that someone is creating rumors with the intention of disturbing the law and order of Anqing, and Chai Dudu is magnanimous and does not care about Yunyun???

This shows that the Anhui Provincial Council Bureau has not removed Chai Dongliang's governor of Anhui, and the 5,000 people he brought with him have already embarked on the road of no return.

Rebels?

What a ridiculous name! As the first Huaishang Army in Anhui to respond to the Wuchang Uprising and lead troops to recover more than a dozen prefectures and counties, he was already charged with rebels at the moment he entered Anqing, and Zhang Huitao, as the leader of the rebels, will definitely be defeated by the Nanjing Temporary Political Axe!

The only way to survive is to take Anqing, coerce the Council to elect himself as the governor, create a fait accompli, and then send a large sum of money to Nanjing like the governors of other provinces. The temporary political axe is very short of money, and they all want to fish out the copper plates in the oil pot!

There is only this one way that can wash away the charges of the Huaishang Army rebels, and this is the only way for him Zhang Huitao to live!

Zhang Huitao believed that Chai Dongliang relied on his status as Sun Wen's special envoy to make the Anhui New Army obey his orders, and once he was no longer the governor of Anhui, the fleet and the new army would inevitably collapse. At that time, these will all belong to Zhang Huitao!

Take a step back and become a rebel who is despised by the world, and further may be the feudal official who lives in eight seats??? Zhang Huitao had no choice but to fight hard, strive to take Anqing before Chai Dongliang's sailors returned, and then use a bayonet to force the Council to admit his identity as the governor of Anhui in the shortest possible time.

After being breached in the southern camp, the dream of picking up the silver and the woman at will, the bandit soldiers with red eyes, after each drinking a bowl of soju, smashed the wine bowl to smash, and once again mustered up the courage to rush forward.

The soldiers of the Huaishang Army have no way to retreat, behind them are the bright steel knives and black muzzles of the warlords, and only by advancing and taking down the Nanda Battalion can they have any chance!

Similarly, the Anhui Revolutionary Army guarding Nandaying also had no way to retreat, and they were surrounded by many times, and only by holding on to the moment of reinforcements could they have hope of survival!

This is a battle that no one can afford to lose, and there is only one end for the loser - death!

????? Dividing line ?????

Yuan Shikai slapped the table in Yanjing Shida Hutong and roared angrily: "Rebels, they must be rebels!" ”

Yang Shiqi responded and said: "Of course it is a rebel, the palace guard should raise his arms and call on the world to fight for it!" ”

Yuan Shikai had anger on his face, but there was a hint of irrepressible joy in the corners of his eyes, he pointed to the telegram on the table and said, "Xingcheng, this Chai Dongliang is really worth talking for him?" ”

Yang Shiqi sneered: "It's not worth it, but it's worth it!" Sun Wen and Gong Bao's weight to compete is nothing more than prestige, let's support a prestigious one to fight against him, even if we can't fight against Sun Wen, at least we have to turn Jiangxi and Anhui against each other??? The Jiangxi People's Army colluded with bandits and accused the Anhui Legislative Affairs Bureau of attempting to overthrow the anti-Qing righteous man Chai Dudu, and Jiangxi's Li Liejun was Sun Wen's die-hard??? Haha, what an article! The people will naturally think, who is behind this Li Liejun? ”

Yuan Shikai raised his fingers and praised: "High, Xingcheng is wonderful!" If we condemn the Jiangxi rebels, Sun Wen must respond, if he supports Li Liejun, it will be equivalent to pushing Chai Dongliang to our side, and if he disposes of Li Liejun, it will be equivalent to cutting his wings??? And let the people of the world see that what kind of discussion bureau is nonsense! Sun Wen is counting on that 'temporary covenant' to tie our hands and feet, and we will let the world know what kind of goods the members of the Council are! ”

The telegram on the table was a secret report that Yuan Shikai had just received, and after the Huaishang army and the Jiangxi army entered the city, Yuan Shikai's spies in Anqing used an Italian Marconi wireless telegraph to transmit the news to Jiangbei, and then forwarded it to Yuan Shikai's mansion through a cable telegram.

The battle of Anqing started only half an hour before Yuan Shikai received the news.

After laughing, Yuan Shikai asked: "After you come back, you said that this Chai Dongliang only exists in the sky, and there is nothing underground, is it really that powerful?" ”

Yang Shiqi smiled indifferently and said, "He looks like a very person." ”

"Who?"

"Like you Yuan Gongbao!"

Yuan Shikai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Like me? That's interesting! ”

Yang Shiqi said coldly: "Don't be happy with Gong Bao, he doesn't look like you in your twenties, but you in your fifties!" ”

Yuan Shikai's expression suddenly became solemn, and his hand stroked a few sparse beards: "This is a little scary!" ”

Suddenly a gunshot rang out outside, Yuan Shikai hurriedly pushed open the window, and saw soldiers smashing and looting on the street from a distance.

Yang Shiqi smiled indifferently and said, "Gong Bao, we also have rebels here." ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "The rebels are good, the rebels are good!" ”
