Chapter 128: Leading Troops to Intercept Reinforcements

In an instant, the attack outside the consulate changed suddenly.

The special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion, hidden on both sides of the consulate, aimed and opened fire, quickly suppressing the soldiers hiding inside the consulate. At the same time, several hundred soldiers rushed into the consulate and began a breakthrough.

The 100 guards of the Ali Kingdom have a limited number of bullets, and there is not much left.

The onslaught began, and the fragile defense immediately collapsed.

Ah Liguo looked at the man in black who rushed towards him, and his body couldn't help but start to tremble, but he still said: "It's been a while since the fire was fired, and the thousand soldiers stationed in the concession must have gotten the news, and it should be almost there." Hold on, hold on. As long as we hold on for a little longer, we can all survive. ”

Aitang sighed: "I'm afraid, I can't hold on." ”

Ali Guo said loudly: "It is a matter of life and death, and we can only fight to the end." Evacuate, all of them withdrew into the consulate, and fought with the men in black who came in. Waves of black-clothed men rushed in, and Ali Guo and Ai Tang withdrew into the consulate with their soldiers.

Lu Shaochuan watched the soldiers rush into the consulate and became even more excited.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly.

The soldier stood beside Li Zhen and said loudly: "Marshal, the British army five miles away from the British Consulate has moved." A thousand people came to the consulate, and asked the commander to show him. ”

Li Zhen commanded in a deep voice: "According to the original plan, let Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai block the enemy and delay for a quarter of an hour." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier clenched his fists and quickly left.

Li Zhen commanded: "Shaochuan, there is only a quarter of an hour now. I'll give you ten minutes to take the consulate. Ali Guo and Ai Tang live and die, regardless of life or death, they want to see people in life and corpses in death. "A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, and now Li Zhen has given Lu Shaochuan ten minutes in order to have enough time to evacuate.

Lu Shaochuan said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, it will be completed." ”

After a pause, Lu Shaochuan looked at Zhu Wu and said, "Old Zhu, it's time for us to play, let's go, let's go in together." Lu Shaochuan joined the charging team with a gun and rushed in directly.

Zhu Wu followed, charging with a gun.

The fighting at the consulate continued, but three miles from the consulate remembered the dense gunfire.

Three miles away, rows of sandbags are piled up on the roads in this place.

Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai were among them, the two of them hid under sandbags, pointed their guns at a distance, and shot at the foreigners rushing in front. A soldier came to Huang Shihai's side and whispered Li Zhen's order.

Huang Shihai nodded and said, "Zhenhai, the handsome let us hold off for a quarter of an hour." ”

Qi Zhenhai said: "Regiment leader, it's not interesting to delay time, the enemy is mainly annihilated." ”

Huang Shihai looked at the approaching British soldiers, and suddenly shouted: "People on both sides, shoot." ”

"Bang! Bang!! ”

In an instant, the soldiers hiding on both sides of the street opened fire.

The street is about five meters wide, which is already quite wide. But no matter what the street is, it's always a laneway. There is a firefight in the long laneway, and once one of the parties occupies the high ground on both sides of the street, it has the greatest advantage. Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai got the order early, and began to prepare after dark, arranging rows of sandbags on the streets to block the enemy.

There were also soldiers hiding on both sides of the street, firing from the high ground enough to shoot the British quickly.

There were many British soldiers, and after a rush of chaos, they were already approaching the sandbags.

Seeing this, Huang Shihai ordered: "Retreat three rows!" ”

Sandbags are piled up on the street in rows, and the distance between the three rows is about five meters.

After retreating five meters, Huang Shihai let his soldiers shoot again, and continued to block the British soldiers who were rushing to charge. Even though the British soldiers rushed to the sandbags, Huang Shihai had already withdrawn with the soldiers, and the piled sandbags remained in place and blocked the advance of the British soldiers, making all the British soldiers a live target and being mercilessly shot by bullets.

The British lieutenant colonel who led the troops looked at the people who were firing in front of him and found that the other party was dressed in black and could not tell the difference.

The lieutenant colonel organized several charges, killed and wounded several hundred, but advanced no less than twenty meters.

Such a speed of progress is far from enough. The lieutenant colonel looked at the dead and wounded soldiers, suddenly raised his head, and ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately." In the blink of an eye, the British withdrew like a tidal wave.

Huang Shihai laughed and said: "The foreigner raised by the son of a bitch is neither fancy nor useful. After a pause, Huang Shihai said: "Zhenhai, let's go and support Dashuai immediately and take the consulate." ”

Qi Zhenhai said: "Regiment commander, the British army must have a purpose in retreating on its own initiative. ”

Huang Shihai frowned slightly and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qi Zhenhai said: "I think the British army is deliberately retreating and wants to paralyze us. Once we retreat and the British come again, they will easily bypass the sandbag fortifications and engage us in direct fire. When the time comes, all the fortifications we have laid and the fire hidden on both sides of the street will be lost, and I don't think we can retreat, at least not until the news from the commander arrives. ”

When Huang Shihai heard this, he felt justified and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Huang Shihai asked the soldiers to hide under sandbags and wait for the battle.

About three minutes later, there was a sudden sound of messy and hurried footsteps ahead.

Huang Shihai hid under the sandbag, popped out his head, looked through the sandbag, and found that the retreating British army had indeed killed him again. Seeing this, Huang Shihai admired Qi Zhenhai a little, this young man has some ability. Huang Shihai raised his gun, aimed at the rushing British soldiers, and shouted: "Shoot, give me a hard shot." ”

"Bang! Bang!! ”

All of a sudden, gunfire erupted, and sounds could be heard on both sides of the street and under sandbags.

Bullets flew indiscriminately, and the British troops retreated again and again.

The lieutenant colonel's brows furrowed, already embarrassed. He deliberately retreated just now to paralyze the other party, but he didn't expect that the winner hadn't withdrawn yet. Seeing that he could not confuse the other party, the lieutenant colonel ordered a charge and fought to the death with the troops who blocked the way.

The two sides exchanged fire, and the British army suffered a very high rate of casualties.

Soon, more than 600 people were killed and wounded.

Seeing that a thousand soldiers had already been killed or wounded, the lieutenant colonel did not hold out any longer and ordered to withdraw.

Huang Shihai asked: "Zhenhai, do you say that this time it is really withdrawn, or is it a fake withdrawal?" ”

Qi Zhenhai said with a smile: "Regiment leader, this time it is really withdrawn. The British came with thousands of soldiers, but they were so beaten that it was difficult to fire again. If he came again, he would be destroyed without fortifications. The soldiers on the street can all be taken away, and the people who are in ambush on both sides will stay just in case. Let's go, go and support the marshal. ”

Huang Shihai nodded and ordered to leave.

Inside the consulate, the battle has entered its final stage.

There were less than twenty of the more than 100 guards under Ali Guo's command, and all the bullets were gone, so he could only use the gun in his hand as a desperate weapon. Lu Shaochuan and Zhu Wu entered the consulate and surrounded Ali Guo and Aitang.
