Because of the order, the supplementary battalion left the temporary station in Tongling at two o'clock in the morning of the next day, and quietly entered the woods southeast of Tongling under the leadership of several Li Houji's prisoners. About 2 hours later, the offensive and defensive battle of Tongkou under the personal command of Huang Dawei will begin. Huang Dawei's elite soldiers along the way are about 5,000 people and Li Houji's Shi Yanyang troops will have a fierce battle on the Tongkou line, but this Luo Yaoguo's supplementary battalion has not much to do with it, Luo Yaoguo's current target is the arsenal by the Hongshan Bridge, and Li Houji himself.

"Papapapa" There was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance.

Luo Yaoguo looked at the place where the gun rang out and muttered, "It seems that the fight has started, I hope Li Houji's people can hold on for a little longer." ”

"Third brother, don't worry, now that we have walked about 10 miles, it will take us two hours at most to reach Hung Shui Bridge." The person who said this was a big man wearing Li Houji's military uniform, he was Wang Bao, and it was Wu Ziliang's idea for him to dress like this. Because Wang Bao is from Shandong, and many of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang warlords are from Shandong, Wang Bao's task today is to deceive the door of the arsenal. As long as the gate of the arsenal is opened, a company with a dissatisfied staff will not be able to hold it at will.

"Hehe, big brother, it's up to you later, if you can open the gate of the arsenal, how to replenish the battalion can be regarded as really famous. With my uncle's way, there is no problem in expanding into a regiment, and then you will be a lieutenant colonel, and if you can expand into a brigade, you will be a colonel and deputy brigade commander! Luo Yaoguo said this, he also smiled, Wang Bao is the colonel and deputy brigade commander, isn't he the major general brigade commander? This one who has a way is so mixed!

"Third brother, that's Fuzhou City." Gao Shaojie's voice Luo Yaoguo pulled back from his imagination and pointed to the tall and majestic ancient city wall in the distance, and Gao Shaojie's voice was also a little excited. "When I enter Fuzhou City, I must go to the best restaurant and sleep with the prettiest bitch." Well, what an idea!

"Fuzhou is on this side, and the other side should be Hongshan Bridge and Arsenal, right?" Luo Yaoguo raised his telescope and searched in the southwest direction, and sure enough, he saw several tall chimneys.

"Order the troops, speed up, big brother, you and the pistol team will prepare, and it will be up to you later." Be careful, there are still big officials waiting to do it! Luo Yaoguo gently patted Wang Leopard's arm, and finally admonished.

At around 7 a.m. on October 12, a pistol team wearing the uniforms of Li Hou's Christian Service Guards suddenly arrived at the gate of the Fujian manufacturing plant on the edge of the Hongshan Bridge.

"We are supervising the guards, and the marshal wants to come to the arsenal to supervise the battle, and we are here to fight for the marshal." A big man with a Shandong accent swaggered into the door.

A small iron door on the large iron gate of "Squeak" opened, and out of it came a middle-aged officer in his thirties, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"How can you come soon?" The lieutenant colonel has a Shanghai accent, which is really rare to speak with this accent in the army of the Republic of China, probably when Li Houji was the commander of Wusong Fortress, right?

This Shanghainese is of medium stature, with a round face of white and clean looks and a pair of round glasses, and he looks like a teacher, and he doesn't know how he became an officer in Li Houji's army.

"Ouch! The boss is big. The Shanghainese looked up at the tower-like Wang Leopard and couldn't help but sigh.

"We are here to fight for the marshal, and the marshal will come to supervise the battle later, you hurry up and let the door open inside." Wang Bao put his hand into his waist with a big grinning expression.

"I know, Allah got a call, otherwise what would Allah do when he got up early in the morning and guarded the gate? Open the door, open the door. "Listening to the words of this Shanghainese, it seems that Li Houji really wants to come here to supervise the war?

"What is your surname, sir?" Is it the general office here? Wang Leopard's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

"Allah is the assistant of the arsenal, my surname is Lu, my name is Lu Ming, Mr. Liu's office has something to do, and now I am in charge of it." It turned out that this Shanghainese was not Li Houji's soldier, but an engineer he invited from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, who had returned from studying in Germany. Liu Shiyuan, the general manager of the arsenal, went to his little wife's house to do important things, so the arsenal was taken care of by this messy assistant with a low vigilance surname.

"Nong, Nong, what is Nong doing? Why do you hold a gun to me? Help me! As soon as the gate opened, more than 20 officers and soldiers of the pistol team rushed in, and at the same time, shouts for help were heard with a Shanghai accent. Immediately after that, the officers and men of the more than 300 supplementary battalions came out of nowhere, rushed in, and arrested the big and small officials in the factory, as well as dozens of sleepy-eyed guards.

"May I ask Mr. Lu a question?" Wang Bao opened the door, and he didn't care about the occupation of the arsenal, but got into a routine with this trembling arsenal assistant: "Mr. Lu just said that Li Houji is coming here to supervise the war?" ”

"Oh, I've spoken, I've talked about it, I've called at half past six to inform you, oh, are you going to arrest Yi? If you want me to do anything, just tell me about it, and ask Nong to move the gun a little bit. "In the end, he ate in troubled times, this high-achieving student of the metallurgical department of the University of Hamburg still has this bit of cleverness, and soon understood that the other party was trying to arrest Li Houji, anyway, he and the surname Li were not related, so he sold Li Houji very happily.

Luo Yaoguo, who got this great news, ordered the troops to stop immediately, pretending that nothing had happened, and on the other hand, he immediately met with this Lu Ming.

"You're the assistant in the arsenal? What did you study? Is there anything good here? Luo Yaoguo asked Deputy Lu for advice in English.

"I studied metallurgy, I am the assistant of the arsenal, there are 8016 7.92 slow rifles imitating the Mauser 98, and 300 water-cooled machine guns, but this is not a good thing, the best is 42 Type 1897 field rapid-fire guns, which are imported from France and have not been used, in addition to 100,000 just-made silver dollars and 1 ton of silver ingots." Deputy Lu's English has a slight German accent, and he seems to be really capable, and it seems that he is the best person here.

"Oh, there is one of my villas in Cangshan Town opposite Hongshan Bridge, which is very secluded and no one lives in it, I bought it to invest, and I can put a lot of things and people." Lu Ming lifted his glasses and came out with a string of English. "There are more than 300 left-behind workers in the arsenal, and there are 10 trucks, and there are drivers, so I can ask them to help move things."

"Big brother, you and the fourth brother take a company, transport 2,000 rifles, 100 water machine guns, 12 field guns, and then transport some bullets and shells and all the silver dollars and silver ingots across the Hongshan Bridge, find a place to hide first, be fast. Second brother, fifth brother, let's get ready to meet Inspector Li. Luo Yaoguo suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately issued a new order.

Luo Yaoguo asked Wu Ziliang to stay in the arsenal with a company and this assistant named Lu Ming to wait for Li Houji, and he himself brought 2 field guns and 2 machine guns and Li Shunen's second company to ambush in the woods on the edge of the arsenal.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a pistol team of about three battalions drove in a neat line from the direction of Fuzhou City, and in the middle of the three battalions were several cars, and it seemed that Li Houji had really come out of the city.

"Let them go and bombard their rear team." Luo Yaoguo and Li Shunen will use artillery, and now the two of them are making a field rapid-fire cannon, in order to prevent Li Houji from being killed, or fleeing back to Fuzhou, Luo Yaoguo wants to put Li Houji over, and then use 2 75mm shotguns and two machine guns to eliminate Li Houji's rear team, let Wu Ziliang in the arsenal block his front team, force Li Houji to surrender, and then ask him for a few million yuan to buy his life.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two loud bangs, two zero-shotgun bullets swept out two large blood mist in the crowd of Li Houji's guards, and at least seventy or eighty people were killed on the spot!

The sound of "click-click" artillery was the signal, and the machine guns arranged in the grove and the machine guns on the roof of the arsenal opened fire at the same time, firing frantically at Li Houji's guards. These unlucky officers and soldiers of the Guards, although they are all tall and big, only have pistols in their hands! There is simply no way to fight an enemy with artillery and machine guns! Why did this Li Houji buy so many artillery guns and not equip them with the troops? Is it really weird?

"Shoot or kill! Shoot or kill! Seeing that the killing was almost over, Luo Yaoguo ordered his subordinates to shout and let the other party surrender, in fact, it was not that Luo Yaoguo had a bad conscience, but that there were too many people on the other side! There were more than 1,000 people in the four battalions, and the more than 200 people who relied on Luo Yaoguo couldn't eat at all, so they had to kill a batch first to scare them.

Hearing that they could not be killed, even the personal guards who had received a lot of benefits from Li Houji in Pingli quickly gave up the fearless battle, threw away their pistols and ran to the edge of the woods to wait to be taken prisoner. Only Li Houji's personal guards are still loyally relying on a few cars to make a senseless struggle.

"Lee Hou-gi! As long as you come out honestly, we will send you to Shanghai to see our Sun Dashuai, and it will be fine if you admit your mistake to Sun Dashuai! Otherwise, we're going to have to shoot! Several officers and men of the supplementary battalion with loud voices shouted loudly and fought a psychological battle with Li Houji according to the words prepared in advance.

Li Houji absolutely believes that the warlords in China now do not kill prisoners in the current melee. But it's okay to apologize when you see Sun Dacang, Li Houji absolutely doesn't believe it, there won't be such a cheap thing in this world, and this time he understands that he wants to break the fortune and avoid disasters.

After shouting for a long time, Li Houji, who finally wanted to open, still asked the staff officer to come over and inform him, expressing his willingness to surrender. After getting Luo Yaoguo's promise to ensure the safety of his life, a middle-aged man in his 50s, with two goldfish eyes, a long mustache, and a general's uniform, walked out of the back of the car with the support of several loyal guards, and looked very calm.
