Tonight, Yuebin Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Jingzhou City, was taken over by a guard platoon of the security regiment as soon as nightfall, prohibiting all idle people from entering. The reason is that Wu Baoguo, the head of the security regiment of Jingzhou City, is going to spend his 50th birthday here. The banquet was held for officers above the company level of the security regiment, as well as some officials and gentry in the city.

Everyone in Jingzhou City knows that this head of the Wu regiment has a good face, and his 50th birthday has actually passed early. But some time ago, Jingzhou City has been in chaos, and it is not suitable for spending a life like committing a crime against the wind. Now that the regular army stationed in the city has left, this Jingzhou City is naturally the world of his security regiment.

Knowing that tomorrow afternoon, the regular army that had gone to the vicinity of the passage would return, the commander of the Wu regiment looked very unhappy. Because as soon as the regular army came, he, the head of the security regiment, had to step aside. The military and political affairs of the city were largely in the hands of the commanders of the regular army. Who called a man a regular army, and he was a city defense army?

Seeing that his group seat was unhappy, Wang Shiren, who was an adjutant, suggested whether to take advantage of the evening to make up for the birthday banquet. Anyway, tonight's Jingzhou City is still the world of his security group. What's more, it is already a well-known fact that the main forces of the Red Army have escaped into the territory of your province.

In addition, they are not far from the regular army, so there must be nothing to do. It's better to take advantage of the fact that the regular army who will return to the city tomorrow is not here, and hold this birthday banquet, and at the same time let the brothers of the security regiment have fun. In this regard, Wu Baoguo, who felt that this confidant's advice was very in place, quickly asked the adjutant to take care of all this.

The head of his own regiment is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, and as his subordinates and the gentry in the city, they have all been notified. But you can't drink this wine in vain! I always prepare a congratulatory ceremony or something, so I saw in the afternoon that many officers and gentry of the security regiment were preparing birthday gifts, of course, this etiquette gold is still indispensable!

As the night fell, Yuebin Restaurant was brightly lit, and the heads of the gentry dressed up were all the figures. All carried gift boxes or asked people to carry things, and came to the restaurant to participate in the birthday banquet organized by the head of Wu.

In the face of these gift-givers, Adjutant Wang, who acted as a welcome guest, naturally welcomed these people upstairs to drink tea first, and their group seat would come in a while.

When these invited gentry in Jingzhou City entered the restaurant and waited for the arrival of the head of Wu, some company-level officers wearing Hunan army uniforms also began to arrive here one after another. Compared with those official gentry, most of these officers who came to attend the birthday banquet took out their fortunate and greedy military salaries to serve as today's congratulatory rites.

When Adjutant Wang found out that all the people invited had arrived, he notified the soldiers of the guard platoon who were on guard at the door, and invited Commander Wu, who was sitting at the headquarters of the security regiment and dressed up, as well as his favorite sixth aunt recently.

As the regimental commander, who looked a little chubby, went upstairs, the officers and gentry of the security regiment naturally stood up to welcome his arrival.

There are some sweet-mouthed official gentry, and the flattery in their mouths is one sentence after another, and the head of Wu is also full of joy. He angrily instructed Adjutant Wang to let the people in the restaurant bring all the wine and food.

Today, he wants to give these friends and his brothers a drunken rest to thank these friends and brothers for their support to him. Looking at the wine and food that were served on the table one after another, I felt that the officers who had sent a little too much from He Yi just now also felt that they should eat more.

If the money is sent, it will definitely not be recovered, so it can only be made up for by eating more and drinking more. In any case, it is all the 'hard-earned money' they have saved up with great difficulty!

While these gentry and officers were pushing cups and changing lamps, there were wagons dragging things in the places guarded by the soldiers of the security regiment in the city. Seeing these carriages coming, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who were on duty naturally raised their vigilance.

But when they heard that this was their head Wu's birthday, they didn't want their brothers to be too happy. specially asked Adjutant Wang to order some drinks and cold dishes in the city to treat the brothers of the security group.

As long as they don't delay military affairs, everyone can drink a few sips of wine tonight to relieve their fatigue, and it can be counted as a little benefit to his brothers as the head of the regiment. In this regard, it is natural to get the cheers of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who feel that the officers can drink wine and eat meat, and they can only drink the northwest wind.

Even if some of the left-behind officers who felt that this matter seemed to be a little inconsistent with the character of their regimental commander, when they saw the clerk who brought the wine and food, it was indeed a guy from several restaurants in the city.

In addition, when the contents of the cart were also greedy, he finally did not say anything, and ordered his brothers to bring down the wine and cold dishes, and after explaining that the wine should not be overdrunk, they also drank it with hulala.

The officers and soldiers of the security regiment in the city, even the officers and soldiers at the entrance of the city gate, were rewarded by their regimental commander. Yao Shengjun led the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, wearing the uniforms of the Hunan army, and had already sneaked into the city of Jingzhou under the cover of night.

After the soldiers of the guard company checked the Hunan army medicine in the barracks that had sent the drinks, they quickly led a unit of an independent regiment to take over. The officers and men of the security regiment who were sleeping soundly were disarmed, tied hands and feet, gagged, and dragged to one place and detained.

All this was completed very smoothly under He Zhengdao's careful arrangement. After all, at such a time, few Hunan officers and soldiers would have thought that someone would dare to steal the city at night.

As for the independent regiment, which had completely replaced the security regiment, it began to find the means of transportation in the city, opened the material warehouse in Jingzhou, and quickly loaded the contents of the warehouse into trucks and prepared to pull them away.

Even if there are people who pass by from time to time, they think that the Hunan army is carrying things again at night. Seeing these soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Hunan army, when they asked them not to stay in the important military places, they didn't dare to say anything, and quickly left here.

From the beginning to the end, no one doubted that these security regiments wearing the uniforms of the Hunan army were dropped. So where is He Zhengdao at this moment?

He had already ambushed all the soldiers of the guard company near the restaurant, when the officers of the security regiment upstairs were drinking happily with the gentry in the city.

He Zhengdao, who had specially scouted the terrain in the afternoon, had sneaked into the storage room of the restaurant before, and put the sweat medicine that he had bought in the afternoon with good effects into the wine that was filled with jars. And the picks are all the most easy to move the jars.

After getting all this, He Zhengdao flashed back to the street and ordered a few soldiers of the guard company who had not yet changed their clothes. accompanied him with a few gift boxes and swaggered in the direction of the restaurant.

Maybe it was because they saw He Zhengdao and a few people carrying things in their hands, so the guards of the security regiment at the door did not stop them, but when they were not far away. A lieutenant platoon commander still stopped He Zhengdao and his party very conscientiously.

Knowing that He Zhengdao was a licensed merchant that Adjutant Wang had just met in the afternoon, he heard that their head of the regiment was celebrating his birthday, so he specially brought some gifts to congratulate him. Because the business was a little late, the opening time was delayed.

When he said these words, He Zhengdao did not forget it. A few pieces of the ocean were quietly stuffed into the hands of the guard platoon commander. With money and people he knows, the serious expression on the face of the guard platoon commander has eased a lot.

Just when he turned around and was about to lead He Zhengdao into the restaurant, He Zhengdao had already made a 'hands-on' gesture, and several soldiers of the guard company who had formed a tacit understanding with him immediately stepped forward with an arrow and covered their mouths and wiped out the guards of the security regiment in front of him.

As for the guard platoon commander who had just taken the money, it was naturally He Zhengdao who took it personally, directly covering his mouth and cutting his throat from behind, and killing him cleanly. The rest of the guards and soldiers who had been waiting in the darkness of the street immediately came and dragged the bodies of these security regiment soldiers away.

When He Zhengdao strode into the restaurant, without waiting for the soldiers of the guard platoon who came in to drink in turn, the soldiers of the guard company who followed him had already pulled two pistols in their hands.

For a while, the whole restaurant suddenly burst into gunfire.

Just as Wu Baoguo, who was a little drunk and faint, when he heard the sound of gunshots downstairs, only Wu Baoguo with a gun on his body. The guns of the other officers were confiscated by the guards platoon when they went upstairs.

As for the guns used by the gentry for self-defense, naturally a lot of them were also collected. This is also to ensure the safety of their group! Now hearing the sound of gunshots downstairs, the first reaction of this head Wu is that something is wrong!

But before he was ready to draw his pistol and order his men to prepare for a counterattack, he saw a group of people who had been drinking quite a moment ago, and began to faint. The only thing that didn't get dizzy was the person at his table!

Wu Baoguo, who realized that something big was going to happen today, was just about to go upstairs when he saw several young people armed with two guns and dressed up fiercely, and they had already rushed up the stairs. Tell them to lay down their weapons, or they will be killed.

When He Zhengdao walked up, when he saw that there was still a table of awake people, he said very calmly: "Head Wu, my junior brother heard that it was your birthday today, and he gave you this birthday gift." What do you think? ”

Wu Baoguo, who had been awakened by the gunshots, said very calmly: "I don't know if this brother is the roadman, why did he do such a mess?" Don't you know that this is Wu Baoguo's territory? The gunfire has already sounded just now, and the soldiers of my security regiment will definitely rush to hear the gunshots, and you must be able to escape when you plug in your wings, right? ”

In this regard, He Zhengdao said very calmly: "Really? Are you sure that when you hear a gunshot, it must be your people? ”

Wu Baoguo, who was already tentative, heard He Zhengdao's answer, and his whole heart was cold. It seems that these people are really not good, and they are fully prepared to dare to shoot so openly.

But if you want to control Jingzhou City with thousands of people so quickly, the background and means of these people are probably not simple!
