Dong Dashan's face was pale, as if he was going to vomit out the next moment, he covered his mouth, and he didn't look like an iron-clad man on the battlefield at all.

"Lao Dong, how is it? Can you hold on? Le Fei watched several soldiers under his command appear to be seasick, and the initial excitement had turned into worry, if this state continued, the battle after landing would definitely be affected.

"It's okay, his grandmother's, Lao Dong, I can be regarded as a person who has been to heaven! Such a beautiful airship, even if I spit it out, I will swallow it! Dong Dashan's words made Le Fei cry and laugh, no one could have imagined that he would move forward in this way in advance, God opened his eyes, and he actually let himself see such a behemoth! Airship! If it weren't for the commander-in-chief's wisdom and martial arts, how could the Zhenguo Army have such a weapon? Even the gods will surrender in front of the airship!

Departing from Guilin, three hours later the airship brigade had arrived in the northern suburbs of Nanning. The huge airship is not suitable for landing inside the city, and can only be found in open areas outside the city. The agents led by Lu Si were already waiting here after choosing a place, and in the farmland not far away, several farmers knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, for them, the airship was an object of the gods.

The airship brigade landed smoothly, and after a ten-minute rest, the soldiers were guided by agents to Nanning City, five kilometers away. The strong physique allowed Dong Dashan to recover quickly and took over the machine gun on Le Fei's shoulder, which gave the veteran once again a murderous aura before the battle began.

At the north gate, the rebel forces controlled the place, and two thousand soldiers of the Zhenguo Army quickly passed through and ran in the direction of the military camp where Su Yuanchun was. Before Li Jingxi had ordered his soldiers to faintly surround in the direction of that barracks, the news of the Zhenguo army entering Nanning City quickly reached Su Yuanchun's ears, and he didn't have time to surprise how the Zhenguo army arrived in Nanning at such a speed, they were like the last straw that pressed the camel, or the little spark that ignited the withered grass, and the Nanning chaos broke out.

"Li Jingxi is unkind and unjust, deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and betrayed the imperial court, now I order, Li Jingxi is relieved of his position as governor of Guangxi, and all soldiers must obey his orders, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Su Yuanchun ordered murderously, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately attacked, and the green battalion soldiers who belonged to the same camp began a melee.

The battlefield environment determined that the battle was carried out in the middle of the street, and the last thing that Lu Liang wanted to happen still appeared, street fighting, especially in urban areas where civilians gathered, the loss of life and property was inevitable, and the battle could only be quelled as quickly as possible.

Li Jingxi's side was wearing red silk tied to his right arm, which was a notice issued by his superiors before the battle began, and it was easy to identify who the enemy was. Besides, with the distinctive military uniforms and weapons of the Zhenguo Army, the enemy will not admit his mistake. There was no pause after the encounter, and immediately the shots rang out, and a piece of the crowded street immediately fell.

Most of the corpses were from the enemy, but there were also losses on the side of the Zhenguo Army, and the 1st Mountain Brigade was not trained in street fighting, so casualties inevitably appeared. Two people from the Third Company were also killed or wounded in the encounter, which angered the usually steady Le Fei, who commanded the battle with his meagre experience in street fighting.

"One row, take that building, there is the commanding height, go up and set up heavy firepower! Two rows, fire cover, three rows, along the side of the street! Listen to me, when there is resistance in the house, throw a grenade first, don't care about civilian casualties, no one knows if the house is hiding civilians or enemies! ”

The Zhenguo army quickly recovered from the initial chaos and began to organize an effective offensive, and the soldiers quickly gained experience in street fighting, machine guns, mortars, and grenades played an important role, especially the fast-firing rifles and repeating pistols, which caused heavy casualties to the enemy who wanted to sneak attack.

The battle was not limited to this point, the various gates of the city, the treasury, the yamen, the arsenal, the telegraph office and other important places in the city were all the key points of contention between the two sides. Su Yuanchun's side temporarily had a numerical advantage, and their attack brought great pressure to Li Jingxi's side, but fortunately, the 1st Mountain Brigade relieved Li Jingxi's pressure, and they launched a fierce attack on Su Yuanchun's military camp, attracting a large number of enemy troops.

"Boom!" A shell exploded near the position of the second platoon of the third company, and the soldiers lay down to avoid shrapnel and shock waves, and the explosion became more and more dense, which made the third company suffer. The Third Company, which had always enjoyed artillery assistance, had to attack under enemy fire.

"Mortars, quick, knock out enemy artillery positions!" A battalion commander shouted that due to the limited capacity of airships, the 1st Brigade did not have heavy artillery, and even mortars did not carry many shells.

Ten mortars were quickly erected and fired at enemy artillery, and the two sides were very close to each other, completely within the range of the mortars. Moreover, mortars with more advanced gunpowder were much stronger than the Qing artillery, and only ten of them suppressed more than 30 old artillery pieces of the Qing army.

"Two platoons of fire cover, one platoon from the left, two platoon from the right, follow me!" Le Fei Mao rushed forward with his waist down, there were not many shells, but the bullets were still enough, the fire of the machine gun made the enemy unable to raise his head, and the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army were getting closer and closer to the barracks, but the damage was getting bigger and bigger. The further inward the enemy forces became, the more resolute the resistance became, and the first offensive launched by the Zhenguo Army had to be temporarily halted.

"Platoons, report casualties."

"One row, two wounded, lie down."

"Second row, three wounded, lie down, but still panting."

"Three rows, two wounded, two lying down!"

"Made!" This is the largest casualty of the three companies, there have been eleven casualties in a short period of time, although the enemy's firepower is very poor, but there are too many people, at least more than 10,000 people, and the will to resist is very good, that Su Yuanchun has two brushes, and there are few such generals among the Manchu officers.

Just as the 1st Brigade was preparing for the second attack, a violent explosion sounded in the direction of the East City Gate behind the barracks, and then Le Fei saw a panic in the enemy barracks, and many people moved in that direction.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Second Army, which set out from the direction of Yulin, sent a lightly armed force of 5,000 men, all of whom rode bicycles to advance rapidly, and the journey of nearly 200 kilometers took only five hours. The terrain of the many plains between Yulin and Nanning also played a great role, and the soldiers advanced at full speed regardless of physical exertion and the wear and tear of their bicycles, and finally arrived in time.

The exhausted soldiers could not rest yet, and the sounds of battle coming from inside the city reminded them that the brothers of the Zhenguo Army were fighting hard inside. The demolition team placed the explosives and blasted the dilapidated wooden gates into the air, knocking down a section of the city wall, which happened to be the rear of the enemy army. Soon, fierce battles erupted between the rubble, and soldiers poured in through this gap and outflanked them.

The soldiers of the Green Battalion who were attacked before and after could no longer be maintained, and even with Su Yuanchun's ability, they would no longer have the power to return to the sky. More and more soldiers of the Green Battalion surrendered, and more and more soldiers of the Zhenguo Army attacked the barracks, and as the artillery position was occupied, the battle was also coming to an end, and more than 200 personal soldiers stayed by Su Yuanchun's side, waiting for the final verdict.

"My lord, what shall we do? As long as you give an order, we will fight to the end against the chaotic party, and we can glorify our ancestors after death! ”

"Yes, my lord, we are not afraid of death, fight with them!"

Su Yuanchun laughed after hearing this, and said: "The old man has never bowed his head to the enemy all his life, since you are willing to follow the old man, then we will fight the last battle, and we will still fight together in the next life!" After speaking, he picked up a revolver and rushed out first, and everyone behind him rushed out together screaming, this group of outlaws, to put it bluntly, was addicted to being a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he had to be buried for the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he died.

Of course, Su Yuanchun didn't have the capital to fight hard with the Zhenguo Army, and everyone fell on the way to charge. After Lu Liang got the news, he commented: "This is not tragic, nor is it to serve the country, but stupid!" The stupid one! ”

After Su Yuanchun died, the rest of the battle also subsided, and everyone had no leader, so they didn't have the courage to continue fighting. Soon, the soldiers of the Green Battalion under Li Jingxi were temporarily placed in a temporary barracks outside the city, where they were treated with good food and drink, and the soldiers of the Green Battalion who resisted became prisoners, and as punishment, they were to work in the engineering unit for three years before returning to their civilian status.

After the war, the statistics made Lü Liang regret that he did not respond to Li Jingxi's request in time, and the enemy suffered 11,000 casualties, 22,000 prisoners, and 223 casualties of the Zhenguo army. The civilian casualties were enormous, but the Provisional Government did not make them public, and it was not until 50 years later that they could be made public.

Nanning was pacified, and the Qing troops in the rest of the region did not continue to resist, they obeyed Li Jingxi's order, laid down their arms and were taken over by the Zhenguo army. Liuzhou, Beihai, Qinzhou, Baibai, Pingxiang and other places were recovered one after another, and more than 20,000 combat-ready border guards also surrendered peacefully, which allowed Guangxi's border defense to be completely preserved. After the war, Lu Liang ordered Su Yuanchun to be buried thickly, for nothing else, for his great contribution to the cause of border defense during his tenure.
