Gunfire rang out inside and outside the camp in Anqingnan, and the shouts of killing were deafening. He Tianshou's eyes were blurred by the heavy rain, and he wiped his face with his water-drenched sleeves, and yelled at him: "Why didn't the Green Cannon go off?" Put it on Lao Tzu, and beat up these bastards! ”

"Battalion commander, it's jammed!" The deputy shooter said with a bitter face.

He Tianshou kicked him on the heel and scolded angrily: "Waste dim sum, I usually see you talking when I train, it's really fatal, I see you talking!" ”

The shooter was hurriedly disassembling the Green Cannon on the side to troubleshoot, and the skillful technical movements he practiced in Ping Yue were now out of shape, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or excessive excitement, and his hands and feet were no longer obedient. No matter how well-trained a soldier is, he will inevitably be at a loss when he participates in battle for the first time.

He Tianshou turned around and saw Gu Mazi lying on the wall, kicked him in the ass and asked, "What about the cannon?" What about Lao Tzu's cannon! ”

Gu Mazi knocked down a soldier of the Huaishang Army who was holding a ghost-headed broadsword with one shot, and replied without raising his head: "The water that is surrounded outside is impassable, and the cannons are all in the ordnance station, and they have not rushed out after sending people to rush twice." ”

There were two cannon shots in the distance, and Gu Mazi shook his head and said, "Battalion commander, there is also a fight on the side of the ordnance station." ”

He Tianshou shuddered involuntarily and said sharply: "If the armory is breached, we will all be finished." ”

Gu Mazi shook his hand and shot a soldier of the Huaishang Army who was carrying a ladder again, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's okay, all the ordnance is cannons and shells, and the rabbit cubs of the Huaishang Army can't take it down." ”

He Tianshou kicked him hard: "Bastard, there is no artillery in the ordnance, those two cannons were put by the turtles of the Huaishang Army." Gu Mazi, you take good care of Lao Tzu's home, and I will lead people to rush over to rescue the armory. ”

Gu Mazi climbed up from the wall battlement and pulled He Tianshou behind: "Battalion commander, Anqing will be handed over to you when the governor leaves, and I will take someone to the armory." ”

He Tianshou pushed him away violently and said, "Lao Tzu is the battalion commander, and I have the final say here." ”

Gu Mazi glared at him without showing weakness, and his face was full of pockmarks shaking like a stabbed honeycomb: "The governor is leaving, and I will tell you to guard Anqing City, and you will be able to do this hero with the heavy responsibility on your shoulders." Then he smiled calmly and said: "Brother He, if my brother can't come back, I will ask you to take care of my mother, and it's all your business to wear linen and wear filial piety and be a filial son!" ”

He Tianshou's tears and rain flowed down, and he stared at the limit of his eyes: "Mazi, you listen to Lao Tzu, bring me back the cannon and yourself, Lao Tzu will not be a filial son for you!" ”

Gu Mazi beckoned: "The brothers of the cavalry company and the artillery company of the second battalion will come with me and pick up the brothers from the ordnance station." ”

He Tianshou roared and said, "Light and heavy weapons fired at the south gate together, covering Gu Mazi and them to rush out." ”

Bang bang bang Mauser eight eight bursts of ammunition, will rush in front of the Huaishang Army soldiers to lie down, the shooter finally cleared the jammed bullets, the deputy shooter tried to calm his emotions, the handle shook slowly, a string of tongues of fire from the muzzle of the gun, ten barrels at the same time shot a barrage, the south gate suddenly fell a piece.

The sandbags blocked behind the south gate were cleared aside, and Gu Mazi took more than eighty cavalrymen and dragged more than a dozen artillery carts and rushed out at a gallop. As soon as the Huaishang army saw that the gate was open, all the weapons gathered their fire and opened fire on the horse team. From time to time, someone turned over and fell off the horse, and the people behind didn't look at it, stepping on the body of their comrades and continuing to rush out.

"Mazi, you kid must come back." He Tianshou's tiger eyes were full of tears and deep regret.

After making a big fuss about the Deliberation Bureau, He Tianshou came back and rewarded the soldiers with good wine and meat, and everyone was drunk for three consecutive days. The sentry at the gate of the city was also removed, and He Tianshou posted a notice to reassure the people. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the Huaishang army.

At the end of the morning, it was the time when the pajamas were at their thickest, if it weren't for the inexplicable sound of a few shots at the city gate, which alarmed the sleeping soldiers, the Huaishang army could really take advantage of the heavy rain to touch the camp, if so, these eight hundred defenders would probably die in their sleep.

Thinking of this, He Tianshou couldn't help but feel chills down his spine, and he was afraid for a while.

"Battalion commander, Nanjing has called back, the fleet has departed, and it will be able to reach Anqing in six hours, and we will be ordered to withstand these six hours no matter what." The operator came running in the rain, and lost one of his shoes.

"Six hours is too long, if the cannon can't be adjusted, I'm afraid our brother won't be able to last six hours even if he runs out! What about Wuhu, what do you say over there? Looking at the ant-like heads below, He Tianshou secretly complained in his heart.

"Wuhu called back, and the commander of the regiment led the cavalry to help, and he was already on the way." The gunshots rang out like popping beans, and the operator could barely hear what he was saying by shouting at the top of his voice.

"You go, keep in touch with the Governor and Master Gao at any time." He Tianshou said, turned his face and continued to command the battle.

There are only 200 cavalry in Wuhu, even if Lu Kai is all transferred, it is just a symbolic meaning, when the cavalry is chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, it is like chopping melons and vegetables, but the city street fighting is not the cavalry's strength. An Qing is in danger, with Lu Kai's temper, it is absolutely impossible to walk slowly with the gun carriage, it must be a light cavalry rushing to the rescue.

Hey, it's better to have reinforcements than nothing!

Braving the rain of bullets, the Huaishang army rushed forward with ladders to the wall of the big camp, and was cut down like wheat by the platoon guns and machine guns at the head of the city, but these people did not care about the dead and wounded, and fell one group, and another group rushed up.

"Save bullets, hit Lao Tzu on time, and the gun should be red! These bunnies of the Huaishang Army have gone crazy and are not afraid of death! He Tianshou looked at the crowd below, and his bowels were blue with regret.

If it weren't for the removal of the sentry at the city gate, he would have known that the Huaishang army was coming to attack half an hour earlier, and he would have had enough time to transport the cannons and machine guns of the ordnance station, and there would have been no shortage of bullets.

Now the soldiers in the battalion did not have many bullets, two each of the Green Cannon and the Makqin, and none of the cannons, while the ammunition in the ordnance station was piled up, with more than 40 machine guns, more than 20 large and small caliber guns, and more than 3,000 spare rifles that had not been opened in wooden boxes. However, the soldiers guarding the ordnance station were all carrying large guns, and none of them knew how to use machine guns and cannons.

Here is waiting for heavy weapon support, and there is a large number of machine guns and cannons that will not be used!

At the beginning, when Lu Kai and Kuang Haishan were promoted to regiment commanders, He Tianshou was still a little unconvinced, after all, his qualifications and official positions were greater than the two of them, why should they be the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander, and only get a battalion commander to do it?

Now Lao He understands that he has been a soldier in the patrol battalion for more than ten years, and he has not learned anything at all except bragging. Even in Anqing, the training relied on the help of a few army high school graduates to barely cope with it.

Bang bang bang there was a burst of gunfire in the distance, and the sound passed through the heavy water curtain, and it seemed low.

"Battalion commander, listen, the guns are fired from the north!"

Bang!

There was another cannon fire from the north, the sound of which was heavy and hoarse, and it did not sound like a new type of artillery. This voice Lao He is very familiar with, this is the sound of the old-fashioned mountain-splitting cannon, which was used by the patrol battalion back then. This kind of cannon is very troublesome to make, and one cannon alone requires sixteen gunners.

But no matter how old-fashioned the cannon is, it is enough to deal with the masonry city wall of the battalion, if the solid shell of the mountain splitting cannon collapses the city wall, and the Huaishang army outside rushes in, the advantage of the Anhui Revolutionary Army's guns will be greatly neutralized, and I am afraid that it will really have to fight with white knives. Listening to the dense gunfire in the west, there must be a lot of people.

Anqing City has been attacked by the north and south.

The current situation is that the roads to break out of the siege have been blocked, and the Anhui Revolutionary Army in the camp has been surrounded!

If the bayonet is put together, the huge numerical advantage of the opponent will suddenly have the effect of deciding the surname??? I hope Gu Mazi can break through the encirclement and transfer the cannon from the ordnance station.

As long as all the cannons and machine guns arrived, the thousands of Huai Shang troops surrounding the camp suddenly became live targets, and no matter how many people there were, it was impossible to fight against steel.

If the armory is occupied by the Huaishang army, then the soldiers in the battalion will be wiped out!

Gu Mazi rushed out with the cavalry and artillery, two people on a horse, the cavalry controlled the horse in front, the artillery hugged the waist of the cavalry, and the empty artillery carriage was behind. As soon as they ran a street, they were met with a rain of bullets like a torrential wind, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were knocked off their horses. With experience, Gu Mazi knew that the ten-barreled Green cannon imitated by the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau was used on the other side. The eleven-millimeter caliber bullet was so ruthless that a bullet could tear a person apart alive, and the war horse was hit by the huge impact of the bullet and flew sideways, its belly pierced, its internal organs dripped to the ground, and the ground was dyed a dazzling red with blood mixed with rain.

On the battlefield, there was no room for the slightest bit of women's benevolence, Gu Mazi turned the horse's head: "Give me a detour to Xiaodongguan and go to the armory from there." ”

A soldier grabbed his horse's head and said, "Company commander, what about the wounded brother?" They can't be left behind. Gu Mazi took off the bayonet from the soldier's gun expressionlessly and threw it to a wounded soldier whose leg was knocked off by a bullet. Then, without saying a word, he turned the horse's head and left.

With tears in their eyes, the soldiers took off their bayonets one after another, threw them to their wounded comrades, and then followed Gu Mazi around with tears in their eyes.

The wounded soldiers crawled and rolled with difficulty, holding the bayonets discarded by their companions in their hands, and one of the wounded soldiers shouted: "Brothers, suicide is not a good man, it is a man who falls on the way to the charge!" "Kill!"

The wounded soldiers, some with weapons, shot with rifles, and those without weapons, with bayonets, crawled with difficulty in the rain. The soldiers of the Huaishang Army were bloodshot by the promise of looting after the city was broken, and after entering the city, they were beaten by the Anhui Revolutionary Army with heavy casualties, and they had turned into violent beasts, and they had no mercy for these wounded soldiers, and slaughtered every soldier who tried to approach their position with rifles, machine guns, axes, and spears.

Ten miles long street, blood in the sky, this is no longer a battle but a one-sided killing!
