Chapter 204: Three-way scuffle

Wu Jinzhong is a graduate of the first phase of the Haifeng Information College, he was born in the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, he was a well-known master of handling cases in Huizhou, in 1901 he defected to the Zhenguo Party, first served as a factory guard for a while, and then was absorbed by the Investigation Bureau, entered the Intelligence College to study for a year, showing excellent intelligence talent, and because he was over 40 years old, mature and steady, he was quickly reused. In 1903, he joined the Investigation Bureau as an officer of the Intelligence Section, in early 1904 he served as the Chief of the Intelligence Section at the Shanghai Station of the Investigation Bureau, and in 1905 he served as the Director of the Tianjin Station of the Investigation Bureau.

At this time, Wu Jinzhong was staying in the warehouse on the dock with the guards, and the transportation began at 4 o'clock in the morning, and now for more than two hours, about one-third of the goods in the warehouse have not been delivered. Even at the age of his prime, Wu Jinzhong still felt a heavy pressure, he knew that the value of those goods was geometric, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and half of the wealth of China was borne by himself, and the pressure could be imagined.

Fortunately, the first few batches of goods were all shipped out without danger, and there was only so little left. Leaving with the goods were Jason and others, and the agreed time was half past six in the morning, and they should come over in a while. Wu Jinzhong's restless heart gradually stabilized, and what brought him confidence was not only the complete and detailed plan and operation, but also the hundred armed guards around him.

Twenty of these guards came from the Operations Section of Tianjin Station, and the rest were all from Wuhan, the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau, who had all gone through more than a year of professional military training and intelligence operations training, and killing people was their most proficient skill. Not only is it equipped with rifles, pistols, and grenades, but there are also a few machine guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition in the box that you can't see. Not to mention the fact that three infantry guns of caliber 70 mm on the deck of the transport ship, which could provide fire support to land. The headquarters wants to fight a local battle, I hope you don't use these weapons, don't shoot guns!

Contrary to expectations, at 6:20 a.m., a guard reported the presence of a large number of militants a few hundred meters away from the pier and looked in the direction until here. Due to the slight light in the sky, it was not clear to see the enemy's equipment and numbers.

Although he didn't know the purpose of the comer, whether the news of the wharf transportation was leaked, he was prepared, he ordered the guards to prepare for battle, and made a brief report to the Wuhan side through the wireless transmitter.

Two minutes later, the Sea Dragon Gang Brigade approached the target within a range of about 300 meters, under the faint light. You can see a lot of people climbing on the roof of the house or the roof of the warehouse, and many figures running around behind the warehouse and the big wooden box, probably noticing their people and preparing for war.

Originally, he didn't want to take this place without blood, Ji Hailong simply arranged it, and several hall masters led people to surround it from three directions. Speaking of which, thanks to the imperial court, in order to compete with the Sankui Gang for control of the dock, Ji Hailong bought a lot of firearms from the imperial court green camp this year, a total of one hundred and thirty spears. Four short guns, 10,000 rounds of ammunition. I spent nearly half of the Sea Dragon Gang's savings, but I didn't expect it to be used here, and it can be regarded as making the best use of things.

The gun is strong, even if most people can only use a firearm simply, it is enough to make these hundreds of people fearless, when they get close to a distance of 100 meters. A few gunshots rang out, and three strong men fell to the ground, causing everyone to scurry. Unlike previous gang fights, this is not a close hand-to-hand fight with cold weapons, but a battle they have never experienced before. No one knows how to fight. After the enemy opened fire, several hall masters led people to shoot indiscriminately, and bullets flew around, but few of them landed on the opposite side.

The sniper lying on the roof smiled contemptuously, the other party was not a soldier at all, at best it was an armed civilian, even if a few hundred people came, they would not want to break through the improvised defense line on this side. Pull the bolt, put an enemy into the scope again, hold the rifle steady with your left hand, pull the trigger with your right hand and fire again, and another enemy is hit.

Seeing a few rifles on the roof and suppressing his own people, Ji Hailong scolded in the back: "Give me the ****, don't want to get rich when you lie on the ground, there are millions of taels of silver waiting for us to get it!" ”

The subordinates who were frightened by the companions who fell to the ground one after another and didn't dare to move came back to their senses after hearing the boss's shouts, yes, Lao Tzu is also a good man on weekdays, not to mention killing people like hemp, and there are not a few who died under the knife of his own ghost. The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you, fight for this life to make a fortune, and fight with ****!

Hundreds of people ran out of hiding and ran towards the opposite side, and Ji Hailong let hundreds of his subordinates with cold weapons rush over together, leaving only twenty guards. The numerous warehouses, houses, and piles of goods allowed the Sea Dragons to charge and hide at the same time, and also hindered the shooting of the soldiers on the defensive line, and only the snipers on the rooftops could easily hit the enemy.

Seeing that he was about to rush in, Ji Hailong suddenly heard a "boom" sound from the left, and turned around to look, my brew, cavalry! Beiyang Army!

Rushing over from the open area on the left side of the dock was the more than 100 cavalry company soldiers led by Wu Fengling, these people rode high-headed horses, wore Beiyang military uniforms, brandished pistols, carbines, and sabers to show off their might, and when they saw the fierce battle on the wharf, Wu Fengling ordered to shoot without saying a word, regardless of whether it was that way or the other.

The shot on the horse was not accurate, but it made Ji Hailong's heart tremble, bullets scurried around his head, one of the twenty guards was hit, and the rest hid behind a pile of goods with Ji Hailong. After getting closer, Wu Fengling and the soldiers dismounted, and after entering the dock area, there were obstacles everywhere, and it was impossible to continue to fight on horseback.

"I'm X, the scene is getting bigger and bigger, and the transfer must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise all the people in Tianjin will be led here!" Wu Jinzhong was anxious, there was still a part of the warehouse that had not been moved, so he had to delay as much as possible, and Jason and the others had not yet come, so it would still be a trouble to get through the bullet-ridden battlefield at that time.

Ji Hailong's men were attacked by the Beiyang Army, and instead of charging forward, they turned around and confronted those dismounted infantry. Things are too unfavorable, there are obstacles in front and pursuers in the back, and one bad thing is that the whole army is annihilated. Ji Hailong was also a ruthless man, shouting loudly at his subordinates to attack the Beiyang Army that rushed over.

Looking at the enemy Wu Jinzhong, who was in a mess, he was also a little dumbfounded, just right, no one cares, then load the goods with all his might. Boxes of goods are being transported to merchant ships, and the goods in the warehouse are about to be moved.

Behind a house outside the dock, Jason, Rhodes and others looked helplessly at the hot battlefield, how could they get into such a situation? Fortunately, the ship on the dock had not yet left, and unfortunately it was not possible to get on the ship quietly through the battlefield. There were more than a dozen people behind them, but these were civilian workers who did not have much combat capability.

"Look at the clothes, on one side are the gangsters on the dock, on the other side are the cavalry of the Beiyang Army, and the one with the revolver is probably Wu Fengling, the commander of the cavalry regiment. How can these people fight here? Could it be that our news has leaked? Jason said to Rod beside him.

"Regardless of the reason, we have to leave this morning anyway, or we will be eaten by angry people. Send light signals to the people inside and let them find a way, Wu Jinzhong has hundreds of elites in his hands, and it shouldn't be a problem to take us over. "Rod has an idea.

The signal was successfully received by Wu Jinzhong, and the trouble turned to his side, he immediately found Ma Kui, the captain of the action team in charge of the escort, he is a good hand at intelligence, and he is a layman in combat, let Ma Kui find a way.

"Hey, what did I do at the time, leave it to me, make sure you take everyone intact." Ma Kui was very confident, patted his chest at Wu Jinzhong, and then turned around and arranged.

Five minutes later, Ma Kui was ready to set off with twenty people, and the people of the Sea Dragon Gang outside kept falling, and they were crushed under the impact of the soldiers led by Wu Fengling, but Ji Hailong was still there, and he took the outlaws of the Sea Dragon Gang to fight to the death with the enemy, and some of his subordinates with cold weapons could exert their maximum strength, and those guns were not at all in the hands of the Sea Dragon Gang. The battlefield of the two sides was concentrated about 150 meters away from the porter, hundreds of people were shooting at each other on both sides, and some people with cold weapons took the time to sneak into the ranks of the Beiyang Army and shoot them, and then they were wiped out by bullets.

"Let's go!" Ma Kui took the lead, and the people behind followed, and the gap could be seen in comparison, Ma Kui and the others marched forward quickly, in a straggler attack formation, and the muzzles of the team members were facing to the sides, covering each other, and there were not many dead ends. The first hundred meters did not encounter the enemy, and then it was discovered, and the shouting enemy was quickly knocked down, and when Wu Fengling and Ji Hailong noticed that someone had escaped and was about to deploy troops to encircle and suppress, Ma Kui had already led people to run out of more than 300 meters, and they couldn't catch up.

Ma Kui, Jason and the others successfully converged and sent a light signal inside, at this time the sky gradually became clearer, but fortunately, the people inside kept an eye on this side and found the light signal in time. (To be continued.) )
