At this time, Xiao Zhenlei freed his hand, tore a grenade from his chest, twisted the lid, and ripped off the lead, only to hear the grenade make a "whoosh" sound, straight to the white smoke, he rushed forward a few steps forward and threw it to the back of the guillotine, to say that the vegetable market entrance from the west shop pù to the east shop pù is as long as a football field, even the top international discus thrower can't throw it that far, but the grenade thrown by Xiao Zhenlei is generally a parabola to a cannonball, flying west behind the guillotine, and the grenade exploded above the back of the guillotine, The Qing soldiers who had just rushed out and were about to fire at Xiao Zhenlei were suddenly pushed to the ground by a wave of explosion, and all the Qing soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters below the explosion were killed and injured to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Qing soldiers were blown up by this grenade, Xiao Zhenlei quickly picked up the machine gun and ran in the direction of the north city gate, but as soon as he ran out of the vegetable market, he heard the sound of swishing bullets flying in his ears, and then a large number of footsteps came from behind, and he felt that the ground shook a little, he looked back and found that five teams of Qing soldiers ran from the street south of the vegetable market, it should be the Qing soldiers of Daotai Mansion, almost more than a hundred people, and the first few rows of Qing soldiers have begun to raise their guns to shoot at him, The bullets that flew just now were fired by these people.

Xiao Zhenlei immediately turned around and lay on the ground to set up the heavy machine gun, and pulled the trigger on the Qing soldiers rushing over from the south, "Da ??????".

Some of the Qing soldiers in the front fell to the ground in an instant, and the Qing soldiers in the back saw the front of them fall to the ground and die, but they didn't see that Xiao Zhenlei's machine gun in front of him was still firing, still running forward with the gun on his back, but finally died under Xiao Zhenlei's machine gun. A lot of people die a little bit of a puzzle.

Except for rifles and pistols, many Qing soldiers of this period had never heard of heavy machine guns. Not to mention that you have seen it, and even if you see it, you don't know it. Not in the slightest understanding of the power of heavy machine guns.

The power of the heavy machine gun fire was too great, and more than 100 Qing soldiers were hit by machine gun bullets that strafed from the front before they could figure out the situation, and because the Qing soldiers were advancing in five columns, and they were facing Xiao Zhenlei, the bullets of the heavy machine guns sometimes could penetrate the bodies of three or four Qing soldiers.

During World War II, the Germans used to take captured Allied soldiers as a practical thing, having eight or ten Allied prisoners stand in a neat line, and then a German officer pulled out a box gun and shot the first prisoner in the temple. The bullet pierced the heads of all the captives in the row, and all ten captives were killed by this bullet, and they fell to the ground and died. Xiao Zhenlei now uses a machine gun to strafe the Qing soldiers coming from the opposite side, and the killing effect is almost the same as this, sometimes a bullet pierces the body of a group of Qing soldiers, and this group of Qing soldiers collectively falls to the ground.

After most of them were killed, only twenty or thirty of the more than 100 Qing soldiers remained, and these twenty or thirty people finally reacted, some hid to the side, and some threw their guns and lay on the ground. Holding their heads to the death, more people Qing soldiers directly lost their weapons and turned around and ran, such heavy casualties, this team of Qing soldiers collapsed directly. No soldier dared to shoot Xiao Zhenlei again.

Seeing the collapse of the Qing army of Daotai Mansion that came to pressurize, Xiao Zhenlei got up and turned the machine gun to speed up the pace and ran towards the north city gate, and soon caught up with Ma Xiaoshuang and the others who retreated last.

??????

Inside the North City Gate.

When the gunshots came from the direction of the vegetable market. The people who were entering and exiting the north gate were shocked, and the people suddenly fell into a panic. Both the process and the people who left the city poured out of the city, and outside the walls was a moat. After the moat is the French Concession, the county town and the French Concession are bounded by the city wall and the moat, and the later Fahua National Road in history is to overthrow the city wall and fill the moat, with the middle of the road as the boundary, the north of the road belongs to the French Concession, and the south of the road belongs to the Chinese boundary.

The gunshots from the entrance of the vegetable market also made the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate panic, under the leadership of a shed, more than a dozen soldiers guarding the city began to drive away the people, and the city gate was gradually closed, which was inevitable, no matter what happened, whether it was something inside or outside the city, the first reaction of the soldiers guarding the city gate was to close the city gate.

The horses and sandbags that were originally idle were quickly carried to the city gate by those Qing soldiers, the horses were in the front, and the sandbags were piled up near the city gate, and these Qing soldiers hid behind the sandbags, and those with rifles put their guns on the sandbags and aimed them in the direction of the entrance of the vegetable market, and the soldiers who did not have rifles and only red tassel guns sat on the ground and leaned on the sandbags without sticking out their heads to look around.

Plus there are a total of twelve people in the shed, only four of them have guns, and the others are all holding red tassel guns, which is also the reason why these Qing soldiers are extremely flustered, usually they can scare people, but if they really want to fight, they can't do it, four soldiers with guns have a total of less than 20 bullets, just put a few shots and it's gone, what else to fight?

A soldier behind the sandbag trembled, and said with a sad face: "Shed, let's run, you see we have a few crooked melons and cracked dates here, there are few guns, and the bullets are gone when peanuts are knocked a few times, and if you listen to the fight at the entrance of the vegetable market is so hot, the revolutionary party will definitely mix in a large number of people, if they rush over here, I guess we won't be able to withstand a round and all burp!" ”

Another soldier also stammered: "Yes, yes, Mazi is right, I have a seventy-year-old mother in my family, and a three-year-old child, I can't die here, really, Shanmu, can you take us away?" ”

The shed is equivalent to the squad leader, although this shed is also afraid of death, when he thinks that if he is caught after escaping without permission, he must also be dead, he immediately said sharply: "Run? Where to run? The revolutionary party is just making trouble in the city, can it be that the county seat has been seized by them? After those revolutionary parties run away, this is still the world of the Qing Dynasty, where will you run then? When a deserter is caught, he will be killed! ”

Hearing the words of this shed, the other soldiers were silent, although the revolutionary party has made a lot of trouble in recent years, but after all, it was only a small fight, and it did not become a climate, and the Qing Dynasty was still the Qing Dynasty.

At the gates of the city, the soldiers had closed the gates and built simple fortifications here, and the people knew that a fight might be going on, so the people in the vicinity had already run away.

However, there is a cart under a tree not far from the city gate, there is a person lying on the broken cart, this person is lying on the cart and sleeping, the gray rolled-edge cowboy hat must be full of dust to cover the head, even if there is such a fierce gunfire from the direction of the vegetable market just now, the person lying on the cart has not moved at all, the panic at the city gate and the Qing soldiers are pulling horses and stacking sandbags have nothing to do with him, the handle of the cart is on the ground, the whole cart is a little tilted, the Qing soldiers at the city gate just don't see anyone on the cart, I didn't expect that there was a person lying on the cart at all.

About 20 minutes later, when the soldiers at the gate of the city were panicking, the gunfire from the direction of the vegetable market weakened a lot, at this moment, the man lying on the cart was handed, he picked up the hat covering his face and sat up, then got off the cart, put the hat on his head, somewhere, found a grenade, twisted the lid and pulled the lead, and threw it at the sandbag at the gate of the city.

The soldiers hiding behind the sandbags saw a person suddenly getting off the car diagonally opposite the panel, they were all taken aback, and they were about to shout for the man to leave quickly, but the man suddenly threw something over and just landed behind the sandbag, this thing rolled on the ground twice and was still smoking, where had the soldiers seen this thing, and a soldier stood up and shouted: "Boy, do you want to die?" You dare to attack us, uncle, you are impatient??????"

"Boom-" The guy wasn't finished yet, because he never had a chance to speak again.

A grenade reimbursed all the Qing soldiers behind the sandbag, although a few were not dead, but it was not far from death, the eagle threw the grenade, after the grenade exploded, while walking to the city gate, he took out a pack of cigarettes and took one in his mouth, and felt out the foreign fire and lit it, he opened the hem of his clothes as he walked, took out two box cannons from his waist and walked to the sandbag and fired several shots in succession at several Qing soldiers who had not been killed and injured.

He glanced at the end of the street, and found that there were some people at the end of the street who were supporting each other and running over, knowing that Xiao Zhenlei and the others were going to retreat from this side soon, and immediately walked to the city gate and laid down a huge horizontal wooden bolt, a total of three, after removing the horizontal wooden bolt of the city gate, he pulled open a city gate hard, but found that on the other side of the moat, I don't know when there were already more than a dozen patrols of the French Concession and armed members of the International Chamber of Commerce stationed there, and the rejection horse with wire thorns was placed on the opposite side of the moat, behind the rejection of the horse, The dozen or so armed members of the French Concession patrol and the International Chamber of Commerce lined up in two rows, squatting in the front row and standing in the back row, and they all pointed their guns at the city gate, and the eagle knew that trouble was coming.

At this time, a suffocated Chinese voice came from the other side of the moat, it was a French inspector shouting, "Listen to the people on the other side, I am the French Concession Inspector Bolt, I don't care who you are or what you have done in the Chinese Concession, please do not enter the French Concession, this is already the territory of the French Concession, if you want to escape, please choose another place, you are not welcome here!" If you want to force your way through, our guys won't be polite to you."

"Bang-" A gunshot rang out, and the French inspector who had just shouted fell to the ground, his forehead hit by a bullet, and a bloody hole appeared.

"Oh God, do they really dare to shoot us?" A foreign captain of the International Merchant Group shouted in shock.

"Boom-" A grenade flew over the moat from the top of the city gate building and landed among the two rows of soldiers of the French Concession patrol and the International Chamber of Commerce, and a violent explosion occurred, and more than a dozen patrolmen and soldiers all fell to the ground in an instant.

"Oh, damn it, my legs, my God, where are these bandits? Save me, save me! "A French patrol kept howling, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

At this time, the eagle strode across the moat with two box cannons, kicked over the horse, and saw that there were three people on the ground who were not dead, so he rewarded them with a few peanuts by the way, and Wang Yaqiao and others had already appeared at the gate of the city.
