"Quick, pour all the foreign oil!"

Under the reflection of the firelight, Xu Baoshan, the head of the salt owl, had a hideous face, and gritted his teeth and commanded. In the open space in front of the Yamen, the grim laughter hit the wall, and the gloomy one made people rush to the creepy.

"Lord Tiger, no, Dudu! This...... Is this really going to burn? This is what you and your brothers fought desperately for! ”

A small leader, looking at the yamen of the salt transport envoy behind him, who was burning a raging fire, asked with a sad face. There are millions of taels of salt tax stored here, this time Xu Baoshan waved his arms, and all kinds of salt lords responded one after another. In addition to Xu Baoshan's great strength and high prestige in the rivers and lakes, this batch of silver stored in the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy is also an extremely important factor! This is millions of taels, how many people outside want to get a piece of the pie, this silver is enough for everyone to eat and drink spicy food and enjoy it for a lifetime! Just poured foreign oil on a fire, who doesn't feel pain?!

"Hahahaha, burn! Of course burn! I, Xu Laohu, have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and Lao Tzu on the Yangtze River can be regarded as a tyrant! Hmph, surnamed Hu, if you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust! What I Xu Laohu can't get, no one can think of it! Hmph, the salt transport envoy Yamen, I want the whole Yangzhou to give me a funeral! Burn! It's all burned! ”

Xu Baoshan laughed hoarsely, screaming hysterically like a madman. The tone is cold, the words are vicious, and the face is hideous, like a devil from hell!

"Yes, yes......"

The little leader was trembling and almost peed his pants, he didn't dare to look directly at Xu Baoshan, and shrank back with his head trembling. Hundreds of barrels of foreign oil were ignited at the same time. With the help of the wind, the fire burned more and more. Standing in front of the burning salt envoy's yamen, everyone was overwhelmed by the scorching heat. But that's it. This group of ruthless characters who killed people and sold illegal salt on the Yangtze River still didn't have any warmth in their bodies. It's like falling into an ice cave in the wax moon, and it's biting cold. Intuition told them that Xu Baoshan, the big boss they had followed for many years, had changed, and today was particularly terrifying.

"Crazy! Simply crazy! Xu Baoshan is going to burn down the entire Yangzhou City with one fire! He wants the whole Yangzhou to be his funeral! ”

In the temporary headquarters on the Jingqing ship, Hu Rui smashed the table with a heavy punch regardless of his image. The clenched fists were full of green muscles, and his face was gloomy as he looked at the information that had just been sent. In the vault where the temporary headquarters was located, the temperature dropped sharply, and everyone, including Sanniang, gritted their teeth. clenched his fists, his face was so dark that he could scrape off the frost. What kind of madman is this, he actually wants to burn down the entire Yangzhou City with a fire! He wanted the entire city and millions of innocent people to be buried for him! It's creepy to think about!

"Keep an eye on the wind to make sure the fire doesn't spread! Send the order down and tell Fang Zong that even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, he will arrest Xu Baoshan for me! The rest of the one is not left! Remember to be a no-stay! Blood debt and blood repayment, he will pay a terrible price for his madness! ”

Hu Rui clenched his fists, his knuckles creaking. Slowly withdrew his fist. Sick, cold, muffled command. The salt owl broke the city, and the huge Yangzhou and the prosperous land of fat and rice were directly reduced to a living hell! Now as the culprit, he is crazy to want the whole city to go to hell with him! It's a blood debt that's hard to repay. Xu Baoshan owes the entire Yangzhou a bloody battle that is difficult to repay! Only with blood can we comfort the innocent people who died!

"This ...... Dashuai, think twice! This has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times. It is against the morality of a gentleman. If this spreads...... I'm afraid your reputation is not very good! ”

In silence, the Shaoxing master Guan Ziqing who was retained. Pinching the mustache. Arch your hand, a little embarrassed persuasion.

"Then according to Master Guan's meaning. Such a madman who rapes and plunders, burns, kills, plunders, and does all kinds of evil, do we still have to be low-minded, and serve with good wine and food? ”

Without waiting for Hu Rui to speak, Yan Sanniang beside him directly exploded. He glared coldly at Guan Ziqing, who was smiling with three points, and said coldly-for-tat. Because of the anger, the aura around Sanniang's body was extremely strong, causing the temperature in the hiding room to seem to drop a few degrees. The new heating equipment is useless.

Facing the resentful gaze of Sanniang, who had a bad tone, and a group of colleagues and staff officers around her, Guan Ziqing, who was born as a bureaucrat in the old system, trembled and knew that he had lost his words.

"Heh, hehe...... Minister Yan, look at what you said. That's not what old decay means, this killing is a big taboo, and if it spreads, it will be very bad for the reputation of our Anhui army. You have to pay attention to repaying grievances with virtue or something, don't you? ”

Guan Ziqing has been mixed with officialdom for most of his life, and he is naturally slick and ruthless. Although he knew that he had said the wrong thing, he was sweating profusely on his head, and he still tried to defend himself.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, Hu Rui's face was gloomy, and he directly pulled out the Browning 1900 on his waist and slapped it heavily on the table.

"Tell me, how can you repay virtue with virtue?! Tell me! For such a scoundrel who owes a lot of blood debts, what kind of bullshit benevolence do you have to pay attention to?! Then please come and tell me, repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?! How to repay virtue?! China is just because there are too many such useless old pedants, who only know empty talk about benevolence and righteousness, and when they are beaten, they will only find comfort from the sour eight strands! The invective is very comfort-seeking, and the naked spirit of Ah Q! Wake up, look at this shijie, look at this country, look at this nation, and look at this great river and mountain! Look at what the people of the country are called when they are oppressed! Look at what the beautiful rivers and mountains have been spoiled by foreigners! From the day the Anhui Revolutionary Army was formed, I told myself that blood debts and blood were paid! Repaying grievances with virtue will only make us weak and bullied, and will only make the jackals worse and worse! I want to use a rifle and a bayonet to tell the whole world that China is not a fat sheep that is still slaughtered! Chinese people are not the sick men of East Asia! From today onwards, the entire Anhui army must remember one sentence: blood for blood, tooth for tooth! If we are bullied, we will never break our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs! ”

Hu Rui, who has always shown people with a polite and courteous corporal's face, roared and stormed away at this moment! After a hundred years of coma, when will the Chinese people really wake up?! Still kneeling mentally. is still holding on to the defects, even if people stand up, what can they do?! Inexplicable. Hu Rui remembered Mr. Lu Xun, who was famous in the literary world in later generations, and poured his life's blood into the tip of his pen. I hope to use words to wake up the insensitive Chinese people! China's revolution should start with ideology! The accumulation of thousands of years of feudal remnants will not be removed, and the thinking of the Chinese people will never be reborn! The Chinese revolution will never have a day of victory!

"Repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with grievances!"

Sanniang raised her head arrogantly, her warm eyes hit Hu Dashuai, who was angry and rushed to the crown, raised her eyebrows, and said in conclusion.

"Repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with grievances!"

"Repay virtue with virtue. Revenge for grievance! ”

"Repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with grievances!"

As soon as the words fell, a neat shout rang out in the entire cabin. Under the excitement of the crowd, the people in the temporary command center in the cabin shouted hysterically, one after another! Guan Ziqing, the master of Shaoxing, who was taken aback, stood there with a pale face and was at a loss.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Pay attention to cover, alternate squads and platoons!"

A few gunshots rang out, and a thug hiding in the corner ready to put a cold gun. He was knocked to the ground by indiscriminate gunfire. The new 7.92mm tip has excellent ballistic performance and amazing lethality. The high-speed flying warhead tore through the human body and bloomed into a dazzling blood flower, with a small import and a large exit. After wreaking havoc in the human body, fly out and take a large chunk of muscle tissue with you! Under the action of inertia, this filthy corpse fell heavily to the ground with the dilapidated Hanyang Zhuang.

"Brigade commander. All the gates have been taken! According to your orders, except for the 75th Mountain Artillery Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters to stay on the high ground outside the city, the rest of the troops all participated in the battle! ”

A herald with the rank of lieutenant. The steel helmet on his head was trimmed, and he carried the Stern submachine gun that was slung cross-shoulder. The cat followed the root of the wall and came to the convenience side.

"salt dogs! How many troops were there to defend the gates? Is it solid?! Let's be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven this time, we have outflanked me tightly, according to what the big man said, don't let any of them go! ”

Fang Zong touched his black face that was smoked by gunpowder, changed the magazine of the submachine gun in his hand, and scolded viciously.

"Report to the brigade commander, there is a reinforced company handle at each gate, and heavy machine guns and mortars have been erected on the gates! The 75th Mountain Artillery Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters on the high ground outside is also ready for fire support at any time! Rest assured, you can't lose the city gates! ”

The herald, bent on his waist, breathing in the air full of gunsmoke and the smell of blood, coughed a few times, and reported firmly!

"The order goes down, and the various departments are interspersed in a roundabout way, the regiment does not look for the battalion, the battalion does not look for the regiment, all of them are for me to find the bandit leader Xu Baoshan! Fight chaotically, pay attention to cover and flank the wings, let's have a beautiful one-pot end! ”

Fang Zong patted the herald on the shoulder with great difficulty and ordered. Yangzhou City is too big, and coupled with arson, the city has long been in chaos. Although the 2nd Mixed Brigade has been trained in street warfare and has also experienced the Nanjing Campaign, it has rich experience in actual combat. However, Yangzhou was too big, and the 6,000-strong troops were all thrown into the battlefield except for the 75 mountain artillery battalions, but the troops were still stretched.

"Yes! Come with me! ”

The herald saluted solemnly, and with the two heralds behind him, he rushed back into the winding alley behind him.

"Phew, just fight randomly! Labor and management will give you a roundabout intersperse! ”

Fang Zong looked at the staff officers of the guard company and the brigade headquarters who had been closely following him, and scolded to himself.

Hu Rui's advanced military concept and far-sighted tactical goals set from the beginning of the founding of the army have reaped the greatest rewards at this moment! Equipped with a large number of submachine guns and mortars and undergoing rigorous street fighting training, the Second Mixed Association of the Anhui Revolutionary Army has shown excellent advantages in terms of equipment, personnel, and tactics in the battle. Except for one 75 Mountain Artillery Battalion, the entire mixed brigade, including the engineer company and the baggage company, was all engaged in street fighting under the indulgence of the brigade commander! The two flanks were outflanked and interspersed in a roundabout, and the troops of more than 5,000 people were scattered in the huge city of Yangzhou, with blocked roads and poor communication, but they still fought vigorously. The battle of urban fortifications is dominated by street fighting, and the troops are divided into parts, and they are not afraid of disrupting the system, and only recognize military uniforms and not people. Pulling apart the squad of four people, they immediately combined, giving full play to the power of the rapid-fire weapon in their hands, chasing the bandits in the city and rushing violently, gradually compressing and approaching the Yanyun Envoy Yamen, which had turned into a ball of fireball.

"Swallow~"

"Lie down!"

The soldiers who rushed to the front could not dodge, were hit by the flying bullets, and lay down in the middle of the road. Hearing the gunshots, the officers and soldiers behind quickly followed the tactical movements, chose to find cover on the spot and quickly lay down! On a three-story building in front of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy, two ten-barreled Gatling hand-cranked machine guns, clumsily twisting their stout bodies and spitting tongues of fire, chased the Anhui officers and soldiers of Seiko.

"Mortar!"

Fang Zong quickly cut in from the corner of the wall, glanced at the firepower point on the commanding heights opposite, and greeted loudly.

"Report to the brigade commander, we were separated from the rest of the troops, and when the guard company came, in order to move quickly, the two 60 mortars in the company were left outside the city!"

The commander of the guard company reported with a sad face.

"Uncle's! Grass! ”

Fang Zong couldn't help but scold, the distance was too far, and the grenadiers were not accurate enough at this distance, so it was difficult to hit the two Gatlings who occupied the commanding heights.

"Sniper, is the sniper there?!"

Fang Zong suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Report to the brigade commander, here!"

In order to ensure the efficiency of the design and the safety of the snipers, the snipers of the Anhui army all appeared in a two-person sniper team. An observer is equipped with a Type 54 pistol and a Stern submachine gun, and uses a Zeiss sixx telescope to search for and guide the sniper, and cover the sniper's retreat after success. The experience of later generations has shown that the efficiency of such a sniper group is very high.

"Find the high ground! All the grenades are ready, and the snipers don't care if they can knock out the two machine guns, let's take advantage of the moment of pause in shooting and rush forward! Let's drag the injured brothers back first! ”

Fang Zong held his breath, glanced at the two fire points again, and commanded. Both machine guns were added to the gatehouse, and the windows were blocked with bricks, leaving only one firing hole. There is also a lack of sufficient commanding heights around, and without fire support such as mortars, it will be difficult to completely pull out this nail!
