At this moment, the guard platoon commander on the side suddenly frowned and said, "Battalion commander, the combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty is really poor...... The patrol battalion of hundreds of people couldn't even defeat the bandits......"

The lieutenant colonel battalion commander said without thinking about it: "If the Qing Dynasty people are strong in combat effectiveness, they will not be defeated again and again by the army of our Russian Empire...... Of course, there is also a reason why the combat effectiveness is so poor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhile the battle was still going on, the infantry battalion that directly commanded the troops to fight was able to break away from the troops......"

"What came to us alone, what reported to the commander of the patrol battalion...... That's all excuses. There is only one real reason, and that is that they are greedy for life and afraid of death......"

"Such behavior, which could not exist in the Russian Imperial Army. However, it abound in the Qing Dynasty army...... Can the combat effectiveness of the army led by some officers be not bad......"

"Now, I only hope that our reinforcements can arrive on the battlefield before the city gate is breached, and eliminate the bandits who want to attack Anshan County......"

Hearing this, the guard platoon commander hurriedly spoke and comforted: "Commander, the reinforcements we sent out will definitely be able to arrive at the battlefield in time to eliminate the bandits...... Please rest assured, Commander, wait here for the good news......"

Perhaps to prove what the guard platoon commander said, as soon as the platoon commander's words were finished, a burst of gunfire that was more dense than just now came from the direction of the east gate.

Hearing the gunshots, the guard platoon commander almost subconsciously shouted: "Your Excellency the battalion commander, it must be the reinforcements we sent, it is impossible for the Anshan patrol battalion to have such fierce firepower, and the reinforcements we sent out arrived at the battlefield in time."

Originally, I thought that the lieutenant colonel battalion commander would be like himself when he heard the gunshot, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what the guard platoon commander didn't expect was that the lieutenant colonel's battalion commander's already frowning brows were even deeper at this moment.

As an officer with more combat experience, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander was not physically present on the battlefield. However, with the intensity of the gunfire, he could still clearly judge the situation on the battlefield.

Judging by his own experience, the dense gunfire that was being fired in front of him was not at all capable of being fired by a Mosina rifle.

So, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander with a frown on his brows, like an angry lion, retorted loudly......

"No, it's not the sound of a rifle...... It was a heavy machine gun, and it was the sound of several Maxim heavy machine guns firing together......"

"A company reinforcing the east gate is not equipped with heavy machine guns at all, and the patrol battalion is not equipped either, so these heavy machine guns must be bandits. Not good, we were fooled......"

"Since the bandits have so many heavy machine guns, why didn't they use them just now, but they didn't use them until the reinforcements we sent out arrived......

"This must be a conspiracy of the bandits, these heavy machine guns must have been prepared by the reinforcements that the bandits sent to us......"

Although Lao Maozi still doesn't know how the specific conspiracy in the middle is executed. However, the sudden sound of several heavy machine guns already made him realize that the real goal of the bandits was himself.

Not only that, as long as nothing else, the reinforcements sent out by themselves have already encountered accidents under the blow of several heavy machine guns.

As a result, the battalion commander of Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi reacted after only a brief shock.

Facing the platoon commander in front of him, who was still stunned, he ordered loudly: "What are you still doing, immediately organize all the guards of the headquarters to enter the fortifications and protect the garrison headquarters......"

As soon as the order was issued, the lieutenant colonel shifted his gaze to a staff officer and continued to order: "You immediately organize all the logistics officers and men of the headquarters, open the ammunition depot of the headquarters, distribute weapons to everyone, and cooperate with the guard platoon to protect the headquarters ......"

Looking at the headquarters around him, which was quickly becoming busy, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander also picked up a rifle and a box of ammunition, and without the slightest hesitation, trotted towards the main gate of the headquarters defended by the guard platoon.

As soon as the lieutenant colonel battalion commander arrived, before the platoon commander of the guard, who was a subordinate of his subordinates, could salute, twenty or thirty remnants of the Russian Imperial Army appeared on the street corner more than 200 meters away from the gate.

As soon as these dozens of remnants ran forty or fifty meters to the gate, the street corner became lively again.

One or two hundred men, also dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Army, armed with rifles and shouting slogans that no one could understand, followed closely behind the remnants of the soldiers and rushed towards the gate of the headquarters.

At this time, as long as there is a little military common sense, people will make a judgment that the remnants of less than a platoon running in front must be reinforcements just sent by the headquarters.

As for the bandits who pursued them behind them, they set traps for reinforcements.

Looking at the remnants of the soldiers who were getting closer and closer to him in front of him, and were constantly knocked to the ground by the bandits behind him with bullets. The guard platoon commander hurriedly reminded: "Commander, they are all our warriors...... You can't just die...... I'll bring someone to pick them up right away......"

The lieutenant colonel battalion commander, who was holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield motionlessly, did not immediately agree.

Just when the guard platoon commander couldn't help but open his mouth again to ask for orders, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander, who had not spoken, actually refused.

In an instant, the platoon commander showed an incredible expression on his face. As if he had misheard, he looked at the battalion commander with suspicion, wanting to know why the battalion commander would not save his former subordinates.

The lieutenant colonel battalion commander did not explain, but quickly picked up the rifle that he had placed beside him, and the bullet was loaded. Under the gaze of the surrounding subordinates full of shock, he decisively pulled the trigger in front of his colleagues in their eyes......

Shots rang out, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the Imperial Army rushed to the front, unquestioningly falling to the ground.

The others who followed the soldier were visibly startled when they looked at their fallen comrades.

Then, as if they had been discussed, he lay on the ground at the same time, picked up his rifle, and fired a deadly bullet at the gate of Lao Maozi's headquarters.

The sudden change in front of him is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words dazzling for the soldiers of the guard platoon next to the battalion commander.

Just when everyone's faces were still covered with shock, and they hadn't figured out what was going on.

The battalion commander's roaring voice finally spread the word to their ears and woke them up......

"Are you all waiting to die...... They are not Imperial troops at all, they are bandits in disguise, who want to approach us and kill the headquarters...... Quick, shoot back and stop them......"

At this time, Lao Maozi's guard platoon finally reacted.

The bullets full of anger, under the precise shooting of Lao Maozi's elite, seemed to have eyes, and they shot into the bodies of the Yangjiazhai soldiers who were less than 100 meters away.

For the ordinary old Maozi at the gate, they had no way to judge the identity of these people by their body shape from a hundred meters away.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi, who has a telescope, can see it clearly.

In this way, Yang Xingguo's plan to use Lao Maozi's desertion to cover and kill the garrison headquarters can be regarded as bankrupt.
