"What time is it?"

"It's early, it's only halfway through the unitary hour, and you're not laid off until the time of the child, why, I can't help but want to take two more mouthfuls?"

"Made, it's really not a taste to guard like this every day, when do you say that you can take two sips a day with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about it ()."

"Come on, it's better to stay here than outside, and the salary is not less."

In the watchtower in front of the gate of the Chuwangtai Armory, several banner men on duty were listless, although the soldiers were not regulars, but they never owed money, and they collected bullets when there was trouble outside, but they had a lot of grains, after all, the armory behind them was very important.

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, a library soldier quietly took out a cigarette gun from behind, and several other people suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly squeezed into a pile of clouds and spitting out fog ().

"I said, have you heard? There's something going on over there. A soldier who took a sip pointed to the barracks of the left team of the Eighth Engineer Battalion not far away: "If there is a real fight, what should we do?" ”

"What the matter, do they have bullets? The bullets are all locked inside! Another warehouse soldier pointed to the large warehouse behind him disapprenosingly, and then pointed to the new fortifications that had been built in the past two days, and said disdainfully: "Look at this high-walled gate, it is not a problem for us to block thousands of people without bullets." ”

"If you want to block it, I still want to live a few more days! I've heard that the guy named Sun Wen sent all his younger brothers, and he also transferred 3,000 white-clothed troops. ”

"You're fucking, you're still a red lady, it's nonsense." When a few of the guards were laughing heartily, they suddenly heard a squeaky wheel sound in the distance, and they were immediately startled, and hurriedly threw away their cigarette guns and shouted: "Who?" ”

"The baggage battalion was ordered to come to carry the arms to support the 31st standard, open the door quickly, don't delay the big thing." As soon as he heard that it was a baggage battalion, Ku Bing hurriedly sent a person to check, and several other people were on guard with their guns in a decent manner, and another person ran to the Haqikes machine gun, and Ma Kui in the distance secretly wanted to laugh, this kind of machine gun wanted to play with at least three people, and now there is only one, even the canvas cartridge belt has not been loaded in for a long time, purely scaring people.

The sent treasury soldiers took a closer look with guns on their backs, only to find that it was really a baggage battalion, with more than 100 people and more than 40 large carriages, and saw that they did not bring guns according to the regulations of the army, so they also relieved themselves and asked: "Lord Guanjiao, I don't know." ”

"Something happened to the 31st mark in Sichuan, and the Governor ordered me to send the military quartermaster into Sichuan as soon as possible for emergency, Made! Lao Tzu still wants to take a few puffs while he is comfortable these days, and now he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, so he has to enjoy his brothers first. Seeing Ma Kui take out a box of big cigarettes, the eyes of several Kubing smokers suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly nodded and said, "Stay a little longer for the adults, and report the small ones." ”

With the help of the big smoke, the warehouse soldiers who reported the news ran fast, and soon came to the hut next to the armory, although Xiao Anguo was drinking a little wine with the two warehouse managers, but his heart was already so anxious that he was holding back a hot sweat, and when he was thinking about whether to find a way to slip away, he heard the soldiers come to report that the baggage battalion had come to lead the army, and suddenly raised his eyebrows with joy, but he scolded and scolded: "What nonsense, it's so late, who will lead the army?" ”

Since it was already more than six o'clock, and the wind was tight recently, the officers of the battalion management and belt drove the soldiers back to the barracks early, so the two stewards next to them were also secretly in a daze, and they couldn't understand why they came to lead the military armament so late.

"What the hell!"

Xiao Anguo pretended to be angry and threw the peanut grains on the table, and walked to the door with two stewards, and when he saw Ma Kui at the door, he immediately exchanged glances, and then asked in an official tone: "Who is here, why did you come to the Ordnance Land so late?" Get out of the way. ”

"It's kind of pretending." Several baggage soldiers who knew the inside story almost didn't laugh out loud when they saw the old battalion commander's official tone, but fortunately Ma Kui's eyes were stunned, and he hurriedly took out a forged warrant and handed it over through the door: "Ma Kui of the baggage battalion has seen Lord Kuping, and the mark is that he was ordered by the Governor to take the bullet and send it to Sichuan overnight, which is the warrant of the Governor." ”

"Sichuan? What's wrong with Sichuan? ”

"Hey, don't mention it, when the 31st mark crossed the river, it was intercepted by a mob, and it was nothing big when the people arrived, but a lot of heavy ordnance was lost, which didn't let us send a thousand guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition overnight. Damn, they are fighting, we are tired, and we are not allowed to talk to the family when we say let's go, this job is really impossible to do! Ma Kui grinned a few words, and deliberately complained, and everyone asked again and again.

The acting has to be performed completely, so Xiao Anguo thought about it and said: "Although you are all my former brothers, the armory is very important, and I need to call the Admiral first to verify it." ”

"That's nature." After Ma Kui finished speaking, Xiao Anguo immediately walked to the back barracks.

Although the Qing government was incompetent, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the army, the telephones were spread all over the three towns, so the communication was extremely simple, but how could Xiao Anguo really call, after going back, he picked up the phone and said a few words to the empty plane, and then walked back: "It's true, open the door." ”

Seeing that the soldiers were about to open the gate, one of the stewards always felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Pingku, can the warrant of the governor be given to the lowly officer?" ”

"Why, don't you believe me? Then why didn't you call just now to ask for verification? It made Lao Tzu run away with stinky sweat ()! Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui chuckled at the same time in their hearts, and the former hurriedly pretended to be angry, and then quickly exchanged glances.

"I don't dare, it's just this matter."

"Forget it, they're all my own brothers." Seeing this, Xiao Anguo knew that this guy couldn't get by, so he simply gritted his teeth and touched the warrant in his arms, and quietly held the handle of the gun with the other hand, and the Ma Kui and the soldiers outside all held the guns tightly, although they didn't bring rifles, but there were a lot of pistols, not to mention that they also got a few Mausers, so they all held the handle of the gun, pretended to wait and see and leaned against the gate, ready to seize the gate directly as soon as something happened.

At this critical moment, Ma Kui suddenly felt a red light flash in the corner of his eyes, turned his head to see that there was a fire on the other side of the mountain, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a fire, look, it's a fire." ”

Xiao Anguo was also taken aback, but fortunately, his brain was turning quickly and pretended to be frightened and shouted: "Isn't that a cannon mark?" How can it go off? Lao Wu, you quickly call and ask them what happened, it's a dry day, and the wind is in our direction tonight, if you come over, it will be bad. ”

The steward was also startled when he saw the firelight, forgot to look at the warrant and hurriedly ran back to call to inquire about the situation.

Later, it was learned that the fire started by the 1st Artillery Battalion stationed outside the city, and since the 42nd Artillery Battalion was transferred to Hanyang for temporary use, the Kuomintang gave them the task of setting fire as a signal.

Seeing that the steward who was in the way was gone, Xiao Anguo suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and immediately said to the other steward: "You are guarding here, tell me immediately if there is anything, I will take them to the ordnance, and you can't miss a big deal in the emergency." ”

The rest of the stewards were not suspicious, after all, the rebel party would not pull a cart if it really came, and they did not bring guns according to the rules, so they simply handed over the task of guarding the door to the Ku Bing, and returned to the hut to drink.

There is a distance between the armory and the gate, and when he arrived, Xiao Anguo immediately handed over the key to Ma Kui, and he stood and took out a dry tobacco: "I look at the wind, remember to take more bullets, the pile in the right corner is for machine guns, and the left is for pistols. ”

More than 100 baggage soldiers entered the warehouse, no different from the rats entering the rice warehouse, and immediately began to load the truck after distinguishing the model clearly.

Because the bullet is the top priority, the gun factory has not yet figured out whether it can be replenished, and the purchase has not yet arrived, so everyone takes almost all the bullets, seeing that the cart is quickly filled, the soldiers quickly selected their rifles according to the plan, pressed the bullets, and finally the baggage soldiers even pried open a few ammunition boxes, stuffed the bullets into their pockets, and one person carried three or four Hanyang made.

Ma Kui saw that there were a lot of cannons and shells in the corner, and wondered if he should pull a few over, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up, after all, he only had such a few people, and the remaining main force did not dare to bring it because he was afraid that all of them would cause suspicion, and he had to take care of the steamboats by the river.

More than 100 people left their guns on the steamboat by the river, so at this moment, each person took three guns, which is equivalent to bringing nearly 500 guns, a box of 500 bullets, and more than 400 bombs, and a lot of bombs, which is at least enough to withstand for a while.

After loading the car and quickly covering it with an oilcloth, Ma Kui hurriedly ran to the side to check the movement outside, and pricked up his ears to wait for Yang Qiu's voice.

Xiao Anguo, who was squatting outside and smoking dry cigarettes, was already dying, seeing that the time was passing minute by minute, but the gunshot that Yang Qiu said had not yet sounded, and he didn't know what to do! Because, according to the plan, it was necessary to wait for the gunshots to go out and rush out in the name of the revolutionary party. If you can't hear the gunshots, then you can only take the second step!

Just as he kept looking in the direction of the engineering battalion, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Pingku-sama, this is." ……
