Chapter 30: Bloodshed

"Gunshots? Are we going to shoot? The soldier said ignorantly, "But those are just unarmed students, shoot them, aren't they..."

Chen Erpi glared at the soldier and ordered loudly: "Push out the heavy machine gun, the bullets are loaded, and listen to my orders!" ”

After saying that, he turned around again and said loudly to the crowd who were throwing burning strips of cloth and other things in this direction, and at the same time pushing away the horses and barbed wire: "This is a military stronghold, and the impact is illegal!" ”

"Illegal? You warlords, do you still have time to talk about the law? ”

The little boy shouted loudly in the back, saying: "Don't be afraid, classmates, they have no choice, they are already cowardly under our righteous condemnation, let's work harder and drive them out of the capital!" ”

Chen Erpi snatched an iron horn and roared angrily: "All of them quit, if you dare to cross the line, we will shoot!" ”

"Students, don't be afraid, these reactionary warlords don't dare to shoot!"

The little boy cheered everyone on, but he looked at the murderous soldiers inside, and he himself quietly retreated back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chen Erpi didn't laugh angrily, these guys, do you really think that he won't shoot? Don't dare to shoot?

Well, in the order received in advance, it was as good as possible not to shoot without shooting. Their office was just an office, and the garrison was there to defend the stronghold, not to stir up trouble. If they really want to fight, their more than 100 people will not play a decisive role.

If there is a real fight, it still depends on the infantry division stationed thirty miles outside the west gate of the capital. It was a fully loaded heavy infantry division, armed with sixteen 155 howitzers and more smaller-caliber barreled guns.

What Chen Erpi has in his hands now is nothing more than the heavy firepower of four 75mm rapid-fire guns and two Makqin heavy machine guns. Other than that, there were only rifles, bayonets and grenades.

He didn't want to shoot because he was afraid of the fanatical students in front of him, and he wasn't worried that he would be thrown out as a scapegoat except for the problem. All he was worried about was whether the people behind these students would take this opportunity to kill them.

You must know that although the more than 10,000 people under Duan Qirui's command are lightly armed, there are many large-caliber body-barreled artillery pieces in the garrisons of the great powers in Tianjin.

When Gengzi Boxing Rebellion occurred the year before last, he was suppressed by the cannons of foreigners in Beijing for a long time. Even if they later came up with a 155 howitzer, a big killing weapon, he still had a deep vigilance and fear of foreigners' cannons.

It was because he was bombarded by the cannons of foreigners for a long time that he changed from a supporter of the theory of victory by a master to a staunch artilleryman. Artillery is the king of war, and he is convinced of it.

So, did Duan Qirui want to take this opportunity to drive out their northwest forces? Chen Erpi didn't know if this would be the case, the wireless telegraph machines they were assigned could only communicate directly with the garrison outside the city. If you want to contact Taiyuan, plus the time to translate the password, it will take at least a few hours to go and come.

And the damn guys, they've already removed the barbed wire?

Chen Erpi is not a person who is afraid of things, and the experience of struggling from the brink of death several times makes him not afraid of war and bloodshed at all. But the situation now seems to be more than just military action.

He paced back and forth anxiously, and ordered again: "Send electricity to the Taiyuan side, just say that our side is almost impatient." Exactly how to behave, please be clear! ”

"Yes! Captain Chen! The herald hurried towards the telegraph room.

Behind the barbed wire fence, there are also tall iron-clad gates, and they still have some time to consume.

On the small building, Xu Shuzheng frowned and said to himself: "Didn't these people say that they are all brave and ruthless people who don't know etiquette?" How can you endure it until now and still not make drastic moves? ”

Aoki Xuanjun said on the side: "Maybe they received an order not to shoot, and not to cause bloodshed." ”

"Hmph, how can you make things big if you don't bleed?" Xu Shuzheng turned around abruptly and said, "Mr. Aoki, are you ready for the gunner?" ”

Aoki was happy in his heart, but his face was sincere: "Mr. Xu, I think this matter is still a long-term plan, right?" If there is really a shooting, I am afraid that Chief Duan will not be able to explain it. ”

The more he said this, the more Xu Shuzheng strengthened his determination to make things bigger.

Xu Shuzheng, the little fan, said angrily: "The affairs of the country are corrupted to such a point, how can it be done without bloodshed?" Even if the teacher blames me, I have to do it! ”

Aoki Xuanchun said sadly: "Mr. Xu has made up his mind? ”

Xu Shuzheng said loudly: "I have made up my mind!" Mr. Aoki, let's arrange it! ”

Aoki nodded, then turned around and said something in Japanese to a few of his subordinates outside. After listening to the order with their heads down, the men said loudly, "Hey! ”

Chen Erpi was waiting for a reply from Taiyuan, although he had heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns ready, but until the last moment, he did not want to use these things to kill the Chinese.

In any case, when he was in the crash course for non-commissioned officers, he still received a patriotic education.

It's just that he doesn't want to make things too big, but many people don't think so.

As he paced back and forth, he heard a crisp gunshot. After a crisp gunshot, a soldier was shaken, and a ball of blood appeared in his chest.

The soldier had a blank look in his eyes, and then seemed to realize something, and he lowered his head, slowly looked towards his chest, and saw blood "gurgling" out.

Blood foamed from the corners of his mouth, his eyes had become routed, and his rifle hands had become weak.

He fell, twitched for a second or two, and then stopped moving.

He's dead.

After the gunshots rang out, both the students outside the door and the soldiers inside the door were in an uproar.

The soldiers were well-trained and had long been accustomed to hearing the sound of gunfire, so they quickly found cover and took refuge. The students, on the other hand, were few of them who had experienced this and became dazed when they heard the gunshots.

The green tendons on Chen Erpi's neck jumped, and he hated it in his heart. Sure enough, is there still someone who wants to make trouble?

He poked his head out to see what was going on outside, and he heard several gunshots in succession. This time, the bullet was fired at the people who had not yet found cover inside the door, and in an instant, several people were killed or wounded, and blood smeared the ground. (To be continued.) )
