Since the governor sent the Chinese army to deliver the banner of the king's order, he had ordered all the guns and ammunition stored in the barracks to be transferred to the fire depot in the east of the city, so this rebel army did not receive any arms supplies except for the fifteen Japanese-made rifles and more than 2,000 bullets captured from Fan Weitang's Goshha, and the first task at present was to capture the fire depot in the east of the city in order to seize the ammunition. In order to ensure that the second echelon successfully completed the task of seizing the warehouse, Zhao Bei distributed half of the rifles to the second echelon led by Wu Zhenhan.

As for the first echelon led by Zhao Bei, the task is not easy, Futai Yamen is an important place in the city, and the official ban is strict in peacetime, and it is the focus of defense in wartime, Zhao Bei has even made up his mind, in case the strong attack fails, he will set fire to the streets, even if he implicates the people's houses, he will not hesitate, no matter what, he must make the Qing army in the city in a state of chaos without a leader. Now that the uprising has reached a critical juncture, in order for the revolution to succeed, the kindness of women is unavoidable, not to mention, the revolution itself is an extreme act of violence, on which there is no morality to speak of, and there is no time for Zhao Bei to think about moral issues.

After Zhao Bei and Wu Zhenhan left the barracks, they split up and quickly pounced on their respective targets along the streets, cutting off telephone poles and wires along the way, regardless of whether they were telegraph lines or telephone lines, and cut off the command and communication of the Qing army. In order to prevent accidental injuries in the dark, all the rebel officers and soldiers tied a white cloth on their left arms, and Zhao Bei also changed into a soldier's uniform, and majestically carried a command knife to lead the team to search and advance.

In order to avoid unnecessary encounters, the first echelon went to the back streets and alleys, and also sent two soldiers who were familiar with the street situation to act as the vanguard in front of them, guiding the troops forward.

When the oil was requisitioned, the shopkeeper did not make any protests. When Zhao Bei led the soldiers into the oil shop, the shopkeeper thought that the rebels had entered the house and almost forced their women and children to hang themselves, but fortunately, this group of "rebels" did not kill or rape, just carried out foreign oil and left, Zhao Bei even ordered someone to leave a "requisition receipt", seeing that this group of "rebels" did not harass the female dependents at all, the oil shop shopkeeper was relieved, Untied the rope and closed the door again.

"Twenty barrels of foreign oil were requisitioned, and they were paid according to the bill. Revolutionary Military Government, Zhao. ”

Looking at the simple requisition slip and the ghostly talisman on the slip, the shopkeeper of the oil shop came back to his senses for a long time and muttered: "This soldier robbed things and left evidence?" It's weird. ”

Zhao Bei naturally didn't care about the question of the shopkeeper of the oil shop, but when he was drawing the charge just now, he suddenly discovered one thing―――――― he couldn't write traditional Chinese characters.

This is indeed a trouble, as a high-ranking officer, it is not good to be illiterate, so on the way to the governor's yamen, Zhao Bei has already made up his mind, and after the success of the revolution, he will immediately go to the street to buy a copy of the "Kangxi Dictionary" and learn to write.

However, Zhao Bei quickly threw this thought to the back of his mind, and just as they ran through a fork in the road, a group of soldiers from the patrol battalion drove over from another alley, and an encounter inevitably broke out.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

"Bang! Bang! ”

"Dada...... Dadada......"

……

The two sides hurriedly retreated, each standing on a street, relying on the low houses to exchange fire, Zhao Bei also took the opportunity to beat the revolver into a series of shots, at this time, if you are not addicted to a gun, then for a pseudo-military fan, it is really ashamed to cross.

Bullets flew with a whistling roar, striking the roof tiles opposite, or grazing high over people's heads and sinking into the darkness. In the midst of the gunfire, there were constantly screams and falling off the roofs, and then there were people who were not afraid of death who climbed onto the roofs on the shoulders of their companions and continued to fire heavily at the enemy.

"Calm and composed! Save Bullets! The enemy is weak! The revolution will win! Zhao Bei carried a pistol and patrolled back and forth behind the house, boosting morale.

But at this juncture of life and death, any language is superfluous, bullets speak!

Zhao Bei was very surprised by his courage in the face of danger, although he was still a little frightened at first, but when he saw his soldiers fall from the roof with their faces covered in blood, and another soldier climbed onto the roof, he threw this faint cowardice away without a trace, and in the flicker of the muzzle flame, he calmly commanded his subordinates to shoot, trying to suppress the opponent's firepower.

The patrol team had sufficient ammunition and a machine gun, and when they put the machine gun on the roof, they quickly gained the upper hand in the fire, and the two sides exchanged fire for only two minutes, and the rebels were completely suppressed by the opponent's fire.

At the critical moment, Zhao Bei gave an order, and two earthen bombs converted from cigarette cans were ignited, and then thrown over as a trump card. This is a special soil bomb made by the Restoration Society, brought from other places thousands of miles away, it is loaded with *, the power is huge, it falls on the street occupied by the other party, "boom boom", two loud noises, the patrol soldiers who are crowded together suddenly lie down, and the people who did not fall are also angry, and then two bombs passed, one just fell on the roof and exploded, the machine gun was immediately dumb, and the morale of the patrol team collapsed, after barely supporting for a while, the people who were still alive retreated along the way they came, and the rebel troops took advantage of the victory to pursue, shouting, releasing guns, Throwing bullets, he chased out two streets in one go, destroyed nearly 100 enemies, captured 150 rifles, one machine gun, several boxes of bullets, and also captured one sedan chair with eight lifts.

The first battle was won, and the morale of the rebel troops was even stronger!

In addition, a few prisoners were also captured, and after hasty interrogation, it was learned that this patrol battalion was actually guarding Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Anhui. That Lord Zhu originally planned to go to the new army garrison in the city to appease the pressure, coercion and temptation, but he didn't expect the official sedan chair to come here but hit the first echelon head-on, and soon after the two sides started fighting, Governor Zhu was frightened by the sound of fried bean-like gunshots, and even the official sedan chair was not wanted, so he immediately took off his official robe and fled the battlefield escorted by several cronies Goshha.

Zhao Bei threw away the command knife, handed the pistol to an officer, and picked up a Japanese-made "Golden Hook Rifle", and loaded it with a bang.

"Soldiers, revolutionary comrades! The yamen is right in front of us, let's take it down with one go! Grab your machine gun and charge me! ”

After speaking, Zhao Bei held a gun in his left hand and an earthen bomb in his right hand, shouted loudly, led the victorious rebel soldiers onto the avenue, carried the Makqin machine gun, and rushed to the governor's yamen with a shout. Behind them were scattered and fleeing people, who had fled from their homes as soon as the guns fell in the midst of the fierce fighting, trembling with fear from the sound of bullets passing over the roofs.

"Run south! Neighbors, run south! ”

At this time, it was impossible to settle the refugees, Zhao Bei could only try to let the people run to the south of the city, according to his historical experience, the main battlefield in Anqing City was likely to be located in the north and east of the city.

"Put on a machine gun and shoot at the yamen!" Zhao Bei quickly led the team to Yamen Street and instructed the soldiers to mount the machine guns on the roof.

It was already a stone's throw away from the governor's yamen, and the streets were full of government offices, and the chaotic patrol soldiers were erecting barricades in the streets.

"Soldiers! Hit hard! Zhao Bei picked up his rifle and fired at the old soldiers holding torches.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

"Dada...... Dadada......"

The rebel troops bravely rushed to kill, and under the cover of machine guns and bombs, they quickly broke through two barricades, and the patrol team scattered like a flock of blown sheep.

Zhao Bei divided the soldiers into two teams, those with guns occupied the favorable terrain, relying on the barricades and roofs, and fired fiercely at the governor's yamen to suppress the firepower of the patrol team, and the soldiers without guns went to set fires.

The rebel soldiers poured oil all over the streets, and successively set fire to the official offices such as the Yamen, the Official Money Bureau, and the Supervision and Training Camp Office, and the entire street soon became ablaze.

In the firelight, the governor's yamen hiding in the shadows was clearly reflected, guiding the direction of the rebel soldiers, and the bullets rushed towards the dark building that symbolized the imperial power and official authority with a sharp whistling sound, beating it to the ground, and the authority and dignity of the government quickly disintegrated and disappeared in the sky-high fire and dense gunfire.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

"Dada...... Dadada......"

"Boom! Bang! ”

The sound of gunfire and explosions intertwined with the sound of gunfire from outside the city to form a magnificent march.

"For the new China! Hit hard! Zhao Bei took the lead, lying on the roof of the house to command the machine gun, and from time to time he threw out a bomb, inspired by his courage, the rebel soldiers became more and more courageous.

The patrol guarding the official office was frightened by the attack of the rebels, and these mounds were not only dazed by the imminent attack, but also looked at each other by the sound of guns and cannons coming from all directions, and could not figure out how many troops had participated in the uprising. Seeing the fireheads on the street approaching the governor's yamen step by step, the soldiers of the old army completely lost the courage to resist, and in the chaos they rushed out of the yamen one after another, threw away everything they had with them, and scurried around in the firelight with their heads in their hands, some people fell in the rain of bullets, and others finally found the right direction and escaped from Shengtian, and in just ten minutes, the gunfire in the yamen completely stopped.

The Qing troops who came to help from all over the city saw the sky-high fire near the Futai Yamen, and immediately stopped, although they reluctantly launched a counterattack under the bayonets of the warlords, but were quickly repelled by the rebels, and then, like those panicked comrades, dragged their guns and cannons, and fled towards the relatively calm south of the city.

The center of the city has been captured, the command center of the enemy army has been destroyed, and for the rebel fighters, victory is in sight.

The people who lived a few streets away saw that the fire was burning more and more vigorously by the wind, and they were afraid that the fire would spread, so they packed up their soft goods, dragged their families with their mouths, and instinctively drove to flee to the south of the city amid the sound of guns and shouts all over the city.

It is better to be a peace dog than to be a chaotic person.

During the peaceful years, it was not easy for the people to live, and their fate was like a mustard in the troubled times, but in the troubled times, there was no way to change the fate of this tossing and turning, so they could only devote themselves to the revolution and end this troubled times as soon as possible.

Under the domination of this kind of thinking, some unconcerned poor men carrying wooden sticks and bricks also joined in the invitation to attack the fleeing Qing army, although the results were not great, but it further disturbed the morale of the Qing army, and for a while, the city of Anqing was full of shouts and guns.

"Let me put an end to this troubled world!"

Looking at the blazing official office, Zhao Bei prayed silently in his heart.
