Yuan Shikai sat quietly, his anger had long since calmed down, his face was as gray as it had long since disappeared, his eyes were cold except for calm, and the destruction of the two thousand new troops had completely precipitated his heart that had always been complacent.

Wang Shizhen stood aside, not daring to say much, he was waiting for Yuan Shikai's order, he knew that Yuan Shikai would not be defeated by the destruction of the 2,000 new army, and he knew that Yuan Shikai, who stood up again, would be even more terrifying.

In the middle of the sound, Yuan Shikai said lightly: "You gave an order overnight to let all the new troops retreat to Jinan City quickly, and no one is allowed to attack the Tiger Ben Army without my order." ”

"Yes, what else does the marshal command?" Wang Shizhen nodded.

"Since the Tiger Ben Army has so many actions, then they will definitely be able to find out the situation in Jinan City, and Jinan City will not be peaceful tonight, so you have ordered the Jinan Mansion and all the officials in Jinan City to take action quickly, let them closely protect all parts of Jinan City, and don't let the Tiger Ben Army have a chance. Also, tell the big men in the city that the time has come for them to show their loyalty, and besides, go to Andrew, I need the help of my English friends, and I will find a way to give the British the same rights in Shantung as the Germans. Yuan Shikai said.

"Okay, I'll do it." Wang Shizhen said.

"Well, go ahead, I'll let Rulin send two people to protect you, your safety is the most important thing." Yuan Shikai said.

"Thank you, Sir." Wang Shizhen was moved in his heart, turned around and strode away.

Yuan Shikai called the first bodyguard Wang Rulin, bowed his head and whispered to him, Wang Rulin left quickly, and turned back after a while.

Before Wang Rulin could report to Yuan Shikai, the explosion of more than ten shells sounded in the barracks, Yuan Shikai was almost shaken off his seat, and Wang Rulin hurriedly flashed to his side to protect him.

After a while, Yuan Shikai, who came back to his senses, changed his face and said loudly: "What's the matter?" ”

Before answering, more than a dozen huge shell explosions came, making Yuan Shikai's eardrums buzz, and two of them even fell in front of his command room, and the sand and gravel generated by the explosion hit the door directly, and the violent shock wave made him almost fall backwards with his seat, but fortunately, Wang Rulin's eyes were quick and he held his seat.

"Dashuai, I can't care so much, I'll escort you to a safe place first." Wang Rulin hurriedly said.

"If I depart, who will command? You quickly send two people to find out what the hell is going on! Yuan Shikai sat upright, although he was not shocked, and said in a deep voice.

"Dashuai, what should you do?" Wang Rulin was silent, just protecting Yuan Shikai.

"Hurry up!" Yuan Shikai yelled.

"Dashuai, I am only responsible for protecting your safety, and I am not in charge of other matters." Wang Rulin said bluntly. He is just a bodyguard, and for him, Yuan Shikai's life safety is the most important thing.

"You!"

Yuan Shikai was furious, but he also knew that Wang Rulin was right, he had reached an agreement with Wang Rulin, Wang Rulin was only responsible for his life safety, and everything else didn't care, so he could only be so angry that he couldn't speak at this time.

After a while, three or four rounds of shells fell in the barracks, not only the entire barracks were in chaos, but the surrounding barracks were in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, the gunfire of "Da ......" rang out, and Yuan Shikai realized that someone must have seized the emptiness of the New Army barracks and attacked the New Army barracks.

It didn't take long for Yuan Shikai's right-hand man Cao Kun to rush in from outside the command room and said loudly: "Great Marshal, a group of people of unknown origin are attacking the barracks, their artillery is much more powerful than the artillery equipped by our new army, every time it explodes, there will be no living creatures left within a radius of six or seven meters. ”

"Have you found out how many of them are?" Yuan Shikai asked anxiously.

"No, it was too dark, and our men tried to rush out, but their fire was too fierce, and all the bullets blocked the entrance to the barracks, and we couldn't rush out." Cao Kun said anxiously.

"You go and order our artillery to return fire, and be sure to repel them for me." Yuan Shikai said coldly.

"No, Marshal, first, we don't know where their artillery is, second, their gunners are all relying on civilian houses to shoot at us, if we open fire, we will definitely blow up the people's houses together, and the most important thing is that our artillery is too far away, it is impossible to hit their positions, if it is a flat fire, then half of our military camp will be destroyed first." Cao Kun shook his head.

"Oh, I was negligent, how many machine guns are there in the battalion now?" Yuan Shikai then asked.

"And eighteen Gatling heavy machine guns." Cao Kun replied directly. He knew everything about the weapons in the barracks, and naturally knew the number of machine guns.

"Give me all of them." Yuan Shikai said loudly.

"No, Dashuai, their guns are too fierce, and all of them have good marksmanship, they can easily shoot our brothers more than 100 meters away, our heavy machine guns are difficult to rush out, and their artillery is also extremely accurate, just now we have a few brothers pushing a heavy machine gun rushed out, and were directly bombarded by their shells, if our heavy machine guns rush out, not only can not suppress them, but will make us suffer heavy losses." Cao Kun hurried away.

"If you destroy it, you can buy it again, you just have to rush it for me!" Yuan Shikai yelled.

"Yes! I'll go. Cao Kun couldn't do it, so he hurriedly rushed out.

……

More than 200 meters away from the entrance of the new army's barracks, on the roof of a residential building, Tang Jian was lying quietly on his stomach, holding the 'Piercing Sky' sniper rifle in his hand, and shooting point after shot. He used to practice night arrows, and often went out hunting at night, so his eyesight was very good, and on such a moonlit night, he was like a fish in water, both hiding himself and sniping at the enemy.

The fully automatic Gao surnamed Neng rifle, the magazine of fifteen bullets, plus the three magazines he carries with him and the pouch containing more than a hundred bullets, so that Tang Jian does not have to worry about running out of bullets at all, he only needs to aim and pull the trigger, at such a distance, he does not use a sight at all, because of his marksmanship, more than 40,000 tiger soldiers, except for Wang Jundao, no one can beat him, he is a well-deserved gun god.

Because of his condescendingness, he had already seen the heavy machine guns in the barracks that were pushed forward by countless soldiers of the new army, if it was half a year ago, he would not have known what these monsters were, but now, he knew that it was a Gatling heavy machine gun, which was equipped in the Tiger Ben army, and it was also specially explained in the Huaxia Military School.

There were not many famous thermal weapons in this era, and Wang Jundao specially listed a book to analyze and explain them, which was a course that all officers who entered the Huaxia Military Academy must master.

Tang Jian knew that although this kind of machine was not comparable to the Makqin heavy machine gun, it should not be underestimated, and he once asked Wang Jundao why the Qing Zheng axe was not produced since the Makqin heavy machine gun was so good.

Wang Jundao told him that the Qing Zheng axe had copied the Makqin heavy machine gun in 1888, and used black medicine lead bullets, but after imitation, it was found that it was not very applicable, and the manufacture was stopped in 1893, and only more than 30 guns were produced, and some of these guns were used in the Korean battlefield.

And because the Makqin heavy machine gun is too heavy and difficult to transport, the Qing Zheng axe did not purchase in large quantities, and the development of the Makqin heavy machine gun in recent years has played a progressive development, and has been adopted by many countries in Europe, the great powers do not want the Qing Zheng axe to have this kind of big killing weapon, and they did not let the Qing Zheng axe know, even if they knew, they would not sell it to the Qing Zheng axe.

The reason why Wang Jundao was able to get the Makqin heavy machine gun was because Rudolph was a friend of Khazarov, and Thomas was a friend of Rudolph, so the two-layer relationship was that he purchased a total of more than 100 Makqin heavy machine guns, and the transactions with the rest of the arms dealers also purchased other heavy machine guns, such as Gatling heavy machine guns and Nordenfeld heavy machine guns.

Tang Jian knew very well that although the Gatling heavy machine gun was not as powerful as the Maxim heavy machine gun, it was also extremely terrifying, so he began to shoot rapidly, and he wanted to prevent these heavy machine guns from sounding as much as possible.

His marksmanship, like his archery, was as good as his arrows, and each shot could take the life of a person, and he would only shoot the two people behind the machine gun, because he knew that those two were the real machine gunners, and after a while, more than a dozen machine gunners died under his gun, and the rest of the people searched for cover, not daring to push the heavy machine gun any further, while searching for the person who shot them.

Tang Jian knew that it was time for him to change places, Wang Jundao said that Yuan Shikai had masters around him, although he was confident that three hundred meters away, even if he was a tall master, he could not pose a threat to himself, but he still changed to a new sniper location, which he had already found.

Of course, before leaving, he took all the bullet casings he left behind, and Wang Jundao told him that these bullet casings could not be found yet, otherwise, if someone who cares about it, he only needs to take out the bullet head on the person he shot to death, and then assemble it with the bullet casing here, and hand it over to an expert who is proficient in ammunition development, or it won't be long before this bullet will be produced.

Cao Kun looked at the machine gunners who were killed by point fire, and his heart was terrified to the extreme, and his eyes quickly searched the place where Tang Arrow was hiding just now, because only there could he accurately observe the barracks and shoot accurately.

But then he was even more frightened, because his eyes alone knew that the roof of the building was at least more than three hundred meters away from here, and at such a distance, in such a foggy night, someone could actually hit the target accurately, what kind of terrifying marksmanship was required? He couldn't imagine it, but he knew that at present, among the more than 20,000 people in the entire new army, not one person could do it, even if there were some sharpshooters, it was impossible for them to be sharpshooters from 300 meters away, and from 300 meters away, the people they saw were only a small one, who could guarantee that they could hit accurately?

"Don't move, everyone, take cover, the enemy has sharpshooters." Cao Kun did not order the heavy machine gun to be pushed forward, because he knew that pushing further would only kill more people, and he did not order everyone to retreat, because he also knew that going backward would not escape the other party's shooting.

However, under the influence of Tang Jian's spear, Cao Kun ignored the mortars of the Tiger Ben Army at this moment!
