Chapter 456: Simon Fights Fiercely
The prosperous city of Guangzhou, has not been affected by any war, the victory of the powerful Chinese army and artillery, the great victory in the Shajiao Fort, so that more people can rest assured, in fact, although there are a lot of British goods in life, although, there have been many British red-haired devils to break the city of military disaster records, but, everyone thinks on the bright side, and they don't pay attention,
At the end of April, it was already hot in southern China, the fields were filled with the fragrance of rice flowers, and people from all walks of life in the city were also busy with their own affairs.
"I heard that there was no war." An old man in the shade of a tree raised a fan and said,
"Hit again." A few middle-aged people walked by and asked,
"yes, it's been ten days."
"Go." A few middle-aged people were startled, and quickly recovered their faces, everyone knew that the British had been beaten away, and more than a thousand people had died, all of whom were praised by the government and army of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, especially for Luo Yang, for Qiu Yuancai, one was the master, the other was a general, and it was the opposition that was angered by some policies, and now it is quite comfortable,
"The British are shady, hairy, savage." The old man waved the hexagram flag, squinted a pair of small eyes, pretended to be blind, and swaggered the guests.
The people who were in a hurry, busy with their livelihoods, peddlers and pawns, rice shops, silk shops, daily necessities, and all kinds of people, did not hide because of the war, and the people who came and went at the city gate were also swaggering, only dozens of soldiers were guarding the city gate, and they were not much nervous, everyone thought that with a few forts on the front line supporting, the British Maozi would not dare to come nonsense,
At noon on this day, the small platoon leader Qian someone who was at the gate guard stood on the city wall, drooling, looking at the women walking under the city gate, it is impossible for everyone to be beautiful, the small jasper is almost the same, and the city is forced by the national policy to follow the good woman, there is nothing to do, only in front of the city gate twisting the big buttocks, showing their posture color, want to catch a few people secretly do it, make some money, this kind of line has been done for a long time, it is not a forced thing at all, but like drug addiction, addiction,
Angry and hateful, his hands clenched his fists violently, imagining the coquettishness of the slender waists and big buttocks of those coquettish girls, when two of them got into a man's carriage and walked into the distance, the eyes of Mr. Platoon Commander were full of youth**,
The man was estimated to be a rural landlord outside the city, so the carriage went out of the city, the road was far away, and the carriage was getting farther and farther away.
It is precisely because of staring at the road that Mr. Qian, a platoon commander, has become another hero of China's Guangzhou Military Region.
A large group of people, who were galloping from the road ahead, even the vanishing carriage, also turned back, ran wildly, and shouted miserably: "Help, help." ”
Platoon Commander Qian found the enemy in front of him, the kind of red military uniform, that kind of special military cap, so that he immediately recalled the image of the British army at the officer's meeting: "Quick, the British devil is coming." The platoon commander Qian screamed, and without hesitation, he jammed the bullet and shot it towards the sky,
The troops did not stipulate that they should fire warning shots, but he was too nervous to call the troops to resist.
Most of the soldiers at the gate of the city had returned to the city to rest, and when nothing happened, they did not have to stand outside as stakes, and they had to eat at ten o'clock at noon.
As soon as the guns rang out, all the soldiers who were resting under the city gate and in the small houses in the city got up, they rushed to eat, grabbed their rifles in their hands, went to the city wall to observe, or watched outside the city gate, and when they saw it, they all shouted: "The enemy is coming, Maozi is coming, the British devil is coming." ”
The city gate was quickly closed, this is the west gate of Guangzhou City, and it is also the target of the British army's attack, the British army is very cunning detour, but did not expect that he clumsily wore a bright military uniform, showing his horse's feet, if the British army wore the military uniform of the Chinese **, it is difficult to say,
In order to report, the soldiers shot again and again, and soon, the whole city knew about it, and immediately, everyone was in chaos, people from all walks of life stopped working, some people hiding, some people picked up sticks and rushed to the city wall, and some people were turning out the rice flag that their family had used a few years ago, hoping to play the role of the British Shunmin,
The commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, the fierce general Qiu Yuancai, went south to Humen, and the people left behind here were Liang Chengcai and Chief of Staff Zhao Liewen, the two heard the news, and immediately urgently activated the city's defense plan, and more than 10,000 Chinese officers and soldiers in the barracks quickly went to the city to guard, and also gathered the reserve militia organized by various streets, and went up to the city wall.
Liang Chengcai personally rushed to the most dangerous south gate, and later he found out that there, in fact, there was no British army, some were the west gate, and then, he rushed to the west gate to command the battle, Zhao Liewen waited for two thousand elite reserves, and there was an artillery battalion, which was also a reserve, once it was broken through or dangerous, it could be replenished here,
A platoon of officers and soldiers at the city gate, with three and four rifles, shot at the British army a long time ago, because the range was relatively long, on the spot the British army three standard-bearers all knocked down, the British army was running happily, suddenly was beaten a few times, although the change of the standard-bearer, still very surprised,
At the risk of death and wounded, the British army quickly approached the city gate, and as soon as they saw that the city gate was closed, they immediately put their guns on the city wall to attack those Chinese soldiers, and at the same time, they threw the ropes and other things they carried with them towards the city wall, trying to climb up quickly.
The British soldier in charge of the climb was not a white race, but a dark and thin guy, with sharp eyes and a wooden expression, but the body was flexible, almost like a monkey, and some people said that this was the Gurkha mountain troops in the British army,
On their backs were long moon-bud-shaped scimitars, which moved swiftly along the ropes.
The rest of the British armaments, under the city, swept the squadron in the city in turns, although their action of loading bullets, in the squadron **, it seems to be ridiculously stupid, but, can't stand too many people, thousands of people, hula a dozen on a large area, not long to wipe out a platoon of the **, only a penny platoon leader, seriously wounded, and insisted on bombarding the enemy with grenades,
In about twenty minutes, the squadron took the lead after the enemy approached the city, although most of them died in the end, but, for the follow-up troops to gain time, after the war, this platoon was restored simply, the only surviving Qian platoon commander, was promoted to captain, the platoon was named Guangzhou Hero Platoon,
The bombardment of hundreds of grenades smashed the neat queue of the British ** team into rags, and at least more than 200 British soldiers were killed and wounded, and in the enemy's shooting before approaching the city, they killed more than 60 people.
Most of the climbers of the British army were annihilated after going up the city wall, because the ** was equipped with pistols, and there were five rounds in a magazine, which could cope well with hand-to-hand combat, and as a result, the strong Gurkha infantry were killed one after another as soon as they entered the city, and the tragic situation of a shot to the head occurred more than 30 times,
Just when the tide of the British army was climbing again, the platoon commander Qian was hit by another bullet, he fell and passed out, so when the vanguard of the British army rushed to the city wall, he was not mended, otherwise, he would have died,
