As soon as the day was dawning, Xiao Zhenlei got up, in view of the fact that there were secret agents of the Qing court at the door of the mansion, he asked the dog to ride a horse out and wait at a certain intersection, and after washing and cleaning up, he picked up the phone and dialed a number, and after the phone was connected, he asked the operator to help receive Zhenhua Company.

After Zhenhua's switchboard was connected, he asked the person who answered the phone to transfer it to Eagle, who quickly answered the phone, "Hey? ”

"Once there is a large-scale shootout at the entrance of the vegetable market, the city gate will be handed over to you!" After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he hung up the phone and walked out of the mansion from the secret passage with a large backpack.

According to the situation in the past few days, the Qing court's determination to kill those revolutionary parties has been decided, and the government has also sent people to post notices at the city gate and in various parts of Shanghai County, and the newspapers have reported it for several days. Unless Chen Qimei's gang succeeds in the raid in Yangjiawan, then Xiao Zhenlei naturally has no need to fight again, at most he has wasted a little bit of emotion.

After finding the dog, Xiao Zhenlei took the horse and told the dogan to go back by himself, and he got on the horse and went to Wujiacun to meet Wang Yaqiao and the others.

At about six o'clock, Xiao Zhenlei rode a horse to Wujia Village, at this time there were already villagers up to work, and a person came out of a rape field near the head of the village and beckoned to him, he stopped to see that it was Ma Xiaoshuang.

Ma Xiaoshuang came out of the rape field and took the reins and said, "Big brother, Brother Wang, they are over there in the rape field!" ”

"Okay, I'll go over here, you hide my horse!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhenlei took a stride from the road and stepped over the ditch into the rape field. Wang Yaqiao stood up and said hello, Xiao Zhenlei walked over with his backpack, and the two sat down side by side and asked, "How is the situation?" Still no news from the first team? Is there any movement in that musket team in the Ona Sea? ”

Wang Yaqiao took a cloth bag from the hand of a brother next to him, and the bag contained a bag of buns and steamed buns and handed it to Xiao Zhenlei: "Pad your stomach first!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei took the cloth bag and took out a meat bun and gnawed it, and a brother on the opposite side handed over a pot of water, he took the kettle and poured two sips and motioned to Wang Yaqiao to talk about the situation.

Wang Yaqiao said: "Until now, there has been no news from the first team. It is likely that our freedom was restricted because of the order, otherwise we would not have received news until now, the musket team in Onahai was still at the entrance of the county town in the north of the vegetable market, and the owners of the shops and houses they occupied were all gathered together to take care of them, while the musketeers wore the clothes of the house owners, and some of the musket corps went up to the roof of the second floor. I think they want to control the situation from top to bottom, as long as someone robs the Dharma field, the musket team in the Ena Sea can fire together from top to bottom, in this case, it is basically impossible for the person who robs the Dharma field to succeed. And it will be wiped out because of this! ”

After listening to this, Xiao Zhenlei nibbled on the bun and asked, "What about the Ena Sea?" Was he with his musketeers? ”

Wang Yaqiao also took out a bun and gnawed on it, "No, he's gone!" I suspect he's with the first team, and he'll show up when the first team appears! ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and didn't speak anymore, after he nibbled on a few buns and drank a few sips of water, he opened his backpack and took out a set of smart tight clothes to change into. After that, he took out two more box guns, cleaned them up and maintained them first, and then loaded them with two full magazines. He put two box cannons on his waist, equipped himself with combat weapons such as daggers, and asked, "Are you ready for everything I want?" ”

"Ready, over there, a box of bullet chains should be enough, right?" Wang Yaqiao said and stretched out his hand.

Xiao Zhenlei looked in the direction of his finger, and the thing covered with a waterproof plastic tarpaulin lay quietly there. A brother lifted the corner of a waterproof plastic tarpaulin, revealing a swarthy steel triangular bracket and a black muzzle.

"Enough. By the way, why don't you disassemble it into parts when you bring it? It's not easy to carry such a big thing! Xiao Zhenlei said and opened his backpack again, took out tools such as screwdrivers from it, and walked towards the big guy who was covered.

Maxim heavy machine gun. In this era, it is definitely the top killing weapon, can be called the "land killing king", its first actual combat was in 1893-1894, South and Central Africa Rhodesia British * team and the local Mactabili-Suluz in a war, a British army of more than 50 people with only 4 Maxim heavy machine guns repelled more than 5,000 Maximilian dozens of charges, killed more than 3,000 people, and then countries rushed to imitate, but what really made the Maxim heavy machine gun famous was in the Battle of the Somme in World War I, The Germans were armed with MG08 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 60,000 British soldiers were killed in a single day, making it the deadliest in World War I. Since then, the * teams have been equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, and Maxim has become a well-known killing weapon.

Lift the waterproof plastic rain cloth, this murderous weapon can be regarded as revealing its true face, the dark body emits a metallic light, Xiao Zhenlei pocketed a U-shaped iron hoop on the body of the bracket support point gun, and then inserted a rigid rod with a handle into the small holes at both ends of the iron hoop, riveted it with screws, and also fixed such a handle at the tail of the gun body, and took out a strong cowhide belt bolted to the two handles, he carried the belt over the top of his head and hung it on the neck and shoulders, holding the handle in front of him with one hand, and reaching out to the trigger with the other hand, In this way, he can carry this big guy on his shoulders and act at will, with his current body and strength, it is not difficult to carry this big guy at all, even if there is a lot of recoil when shooting, with his strength is not affected at all, this is also a little benefit brought by the crossing.

"Brother Huanyu has a lot of strength! We've tried this thing, and it can be used by one person on the ground and one person feeding ammunition, but it's not easy for a single person to play with it, so that the muzzle of the gun won't jump when you fire in your hand? Wang Yaqiao asked in surprise.

The machine gun was not loaded, Xiao Zhenlei pulled the trigger with the machine gun, and it sounded a few times, Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "This guy's recoil is indeed not small." Normally, a person may not be able to control it, but I can, with my strength, it is no problem to carry it for a few hours, and I can hit it wherever I want! ”

Wang Yaqiao was a little envious: "I didn't expect Brother Huanyu to have such talent!"

At this time, a fast horse galloped over and stopped on the road in front of the rape field where Xiao Zhenlei and the others were hiding. Then he went into the rape field, and when he saw Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao, he reported: "The people of the revolutionary party have entered the woods of Yangjiawan, and the escort team of the Qing army has not been found for the time being!" ”

"Keep exploring!" Wang Yaqiao commanded.

"Yes!" The brother said yes and got out of the rape field and rode away again.

??????

Yangjiawan, woods.

Under the leadership of Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao, more than 100 wore uniform cyan cardigan short clothes. The big men in bloomers and pointy cloth shoes walked into the dirt road leading to the woods with weapons under their feet.

After walking about fifty or sixty meters, Chen Qimei looked left and right, and found that the trees on both sides of the place were relatively dense, and there were thorns and weeds between the trees. People are hidden in it and are not easy to be discovered, and when the fight starts, because the trees are relatively dense, they can provide cover for their own side, so they immediately stopped and ordered: "Here, Brother Liu, you take half of the people to ambush on the left, and I take half of the people to ambush on the right." Wait for me to shout to fire, and you can only fire on your side, and you must not shoot without permission. Do you understand? ”

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I know!" Liu Fubiao agreed and beckoned half of them to follow him into the left side of the woods, while Chen Qimei took the rest of the ordinary people to ambush on the right side. What to pay attention to when shooting, I was busy for more than half an hour. This team of more than 100 people can be considered to be in ambush decently.

Until nearly two hours later, Chen Qimei leaned against a big tree, wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, took out her pocket watch, and looked at the time. It was already about half past nine.

At this moment, a brother ran quickly from the west of Shanghai and rushed into the woods and shouted: "Boss, Boss Chen, Boss Liu, the escort team of the Qing soldiers is here, and it is estimated that there are 112 people, and more than 70 people are escorted, of which about 40 have guns!" ”

"It's about the same as the news we got, it seems that it should be right, let the brothers hide well, put the bright spots, and no one is allowed to fire first without my order!" Chen Qimei nodded and said, putting on her top hat with the muzzle of the box cannon to make herself cooler.

"Yes, Boss Chen!"

Chen Qimei stood up again to confirm with Liu Fubiao on the other side of the road, and shouted: "Brother Liu, I heard it, the Qing soldiers are coming over soon, let the brothers cheer up and get ready!" ”

Liu Fubiao's shout was immediately heard from the opposite side: "I heard it!" ”

After a quarter of an hour or so, faint shouting, insults, and whipping reached the ears of Chen Qimei and others, and after Chen Qimei heard it, the hand holding the handle of the box gun tightened, and the palms, foreheads, and vests were a little sweaty, and the expressions of the other brothers began to become nervous.

Gradually, the noise got closer and closer, and some figures finally appeared in the sight of Chen Qimei and others, walking in front was a Qing army officer on horseback, holding the reins in one hand, holding the handle of the waist knife in the other, followed by four soldiers holding red tassel guns and wearing uniforms to open the way in front.

In the middle are two columns of prisoners wearing white prisoners' clothes, a total of more than 70 people, each of these people is wearing iron chains and shackles on their hands and ankles, each column of prisoners is being strung by a long rope to the wrist, a single prisoner can't run, if you want to run away, you can only cut the rope, otherwise you can only pull other prisoners to run together, but how can one person have so much strength? Unless everyone runs together, but there is always a poor body that drags everyone down.

On either side of the two columns of prisoners near the woods, every one meter there was a Qing soldier armed with a red tassel gun to guard the prisoners walking in the middle, and at the back of the whole line was a 36-man musket platoon.

Chen Qimei knew very well that the most important thing in this ambush was to first defeat the musket platoon of the Qing army's escort team, and only by defeating the musket platoon could it be possible to defeat the entire escort team.

The entire escort team walked more than halfway, and while Chen Qimei was anxiously waiting, the musket platoon that was walking behind finally appeared, and Chen Qimei took the box gun and fired a shot at one of the Qing soldiers with a rifle on his back, and a "bang" broke the silence of the woods.

"Brothers, call me!"

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang??????

As Chen Qimei fired a shot and shouted, gunshots rang out in the woods on both sides, and the smoke from the burning of gunpowder spread out in the woods, and there was a thick smell of gunsmoke.

The gunfire continued, and the Qing soldiers who were ambushed immediately became confused, and everyone lay on the ground, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were killed by a burst of random shooting at the beginning, the others were lying on the ground like rabbits, and the musketeers lost seven or eight people in a sudden attack just now, but as if the commander of the Qing soldiers had expected this kind of thing to happen, after the initial panic, the Qing army officer who was riding in front immediately rolled off his horse and lay on the ground and shouted in the back: "The musketeers fire back, fire back, fire back, Resist the officer, others look at the prisoner, and whoever dares to move will be cut down! ”

"Hit, hit me, shoot the musketeers first!" Chen Qimei shouted as she opened fire.

It seems that his shout was heard by the brothers, and all the brothers with guns greeted the musketeers behind, but after the first round of shooting caused some losses to the Qing musketeers, the Qing musketeers also reacted quickly, some of them squatted and shot into the woods, some of them lay on the ground and shot, and the casualties were much less.

Chen Qimei watched the musket fight the musket, so the brothers with cold weapons couldn't be idle, and they couldn't let their morale be low, so they raised their voices and shouted: "Brothers, pick up the knives and guns and rush out to rescue our brothers, kill!" ”

So, seventy strong men with big swords and spears who were lying in ambush in the woods rushed out of the woods under the leadership of Liu Fubiao, and they rushed to the dirt road to fight with the Qing soldiers.

"Kill, kill!"

The shouts of killing, the "poof" sound of spears piercing the human body, the screams, and the wails sounded one after another, and the Qing army officers saw that so many people had been killed in the woods on both sides, but they did not panic, and took out their sabers and took some Qing soldiers to cut down with Liu Fubiao and others.

Two or three miles west from here, Enahai, dressed in official robes, rode on a sturdy war horse, followed by more than a dozen soldiers with rifles on their backs, Xiao Zhenlei and others sent people to look for him all night, but they didn't expect him to appear here.

Hearing the faint continuous gunfire coming from the woods to the east, and knowing that the fighting had already started there, Enahai picked up the binoculars on his chest and observed the front, and said: "Order, order the first team to enter the woods from the left, and the third team to enter the woods from the right, quickly advance to the middle, and raid the backs of the revolutionaries!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldier drew a pistol from his waist and fired a shot into the sky, only to see a colored flare rush into the sky with a bang, and after exploding, a colorful light appeared, and quickly disappeared, but at this time the two armies appeared in the telescope of the Ena Sea.
