When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will also stuff their teeth. Zhao Huipeng's personal soldiers deeply believe this point of view. Holding up the commander who fell into a state of madness and couldn't extricate himself, the pro-soldiers and a group of veteran oils gritted their teeth and rushed to the front. The raw melons and eggs that fell behind became a meat shield to block bullets, and as long as they were away from the pursuers behind, they could get out of danger. But it's so good to die, just when I'm running desperately for my life, there is a burst of fried beans like a gunshot in front of the thick fog. The dense rain of bullets immediately knocked down a group of soldiers who were busy fleeing for their lives. As soon as the gunshots rang out, Zhao Huipeng could hear it, this is a mirror box made in Germany! In the Great Qing Dynasty at that time, it was still an era when revolvers were flying all over the sky. Mauser 20 automatic pistols were very rare, and even Beiyang, the strongest in China at that time, was not equipped on a large scale.

"Where did the Anhui army get so many silver taels?! Repeater guns, stun guns, new guns with curved ballistics, mirror boxes, grenades, ...... , what kind of army is this? It's a living Hades! ”

The more Zhao Huipeng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he struggled to get up and roared. It was also thanks to his roar that after this battle, the nickname of the Anhui Army's "Living Yama King" spread outside.

"Hands up, guns won't kill!"

Xu Muyan shouted at the front with the guy.

"Commander, there are strong enemies in front and chasing soldiers behind, we are dumplings! Commander, the little one, please, stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood! Please leave a way for your brothers to live! ”

Seeing that he was surrounded by the front and back, the leader of the pro-soldier team knelt down directly for Zhao Huipeng with a cry. At the moment of speaking, there was another rain of bullets before and after, wailing and falling down again.

Zhao Huipeng closed his eyes and said no more. He had observed just now that the range of the serial spear that he had never seen before was about 300 meters, and the best effect was within 100 meters. The mirror box is an automatic pistol, and the twenty-round magazine is indeed a bit bulky when loaded, but the fire is very strong at close range. Both guns need to be at close range to be effective. He now has less than 400 people left in his hands, if he doesn't run desperately, he directly occupies the favorable terrain, and uses the advantage of Hanyang's range to open up the distance, not to mention that he can fight out of the encirclement, at least even if he dies, he can bite off a piece of the flesh of his Anhui army! But Zhao Huipeng didn't have the idea of counterattacking at all, the Xiaoling Guard, which was garrisoned by 2,000 people, fought less than a stick of incense before and after, lost two positions, and only left less than 400 remnants of defeated generals! When a soldier eats a bowl of broken rice, Zhao Huipeng has eaten it for a long time, and he can be regarded as a fierce general after fighting for so many years. I am used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and I have never been afraid. Only this time, for the first time, he had a feeling of being overwhelmed by a tide of fear. This feeling came from the depths of his heart, disturbing his whole body and cold all the way to the bone marrow.

The leader of the pro-soldier looked at Zhao Huipeng, who was silent, as if he had accepted his fate, and immediately kowtowed three times. He threw the Colt revolver pinned to his waist to the ground, and held up a Hanyang-made one, for fear that the guns of the pursuers at both ends would not be heard clearly, and shouted:

"Brothers of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, stop fighting! We disarm! We surrender! ”

Good guy, it doesn't matter if you don't shout in this voice, Xu Muyan, who rushed to the front, stumbled and almost fell. This is a surrender?! There are more than 30 brothers in Nanjing Station, all of whom are members of the Swallow Gang, and they are very reliable. As early as when it was founded, Wuhu specially approved 150 Mauser 20 pistols and sent them over, and the bullets were enough! It was only in consideration of the production of submachine guns produced by the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau and the actual self-defense needs of intelligence work behind enemy lines, that the Bobosha submachine guns equipped by the security forces of the Intelligence Department were not distributed. When he came, he was prepared for the worst, and the more than 30 brothers under his hand, plus the dozen or so scouts sent by the Wuchang military government, totaled nearly 50 people. One hundred and fifty Mauser twenty rings, and there is still a surplus of two manpower. In close combat, one person has two guns, a fan-shaped salvo, and one person can suppress a shed of the Jiangfang patrol camp in terms of fire density! In addition, it was a sudden attack from behind, and it was impossible for the Jiangfang patrol battalion guarding Xiaolingwei not to mess up. At that time, even if the troops in front of the Xiaoling Guard could not take the position, they would be able to withdraw from the battle at this time. But their group hurried slowly, and when they reached the halfway point, they encountered a group of wolves rushing to the Qing army, and they surrendered without a blow! No matter how you look at it, you want to take advantage of the fire to rob and pick up the ocean!

"Brother opposite, which part are you from?"

Xu Muyan, who felt that his old face couldn't hang up, opened his throat and shouted from afar. I'm going to write down the name and go back and find a chance to return the favor.

"Wang Tianda, commander of the guard battalion directly under the headquarters of the Anhui Revolutionary Army! Graduates of the first phase of the training camp! It's the brother of Nanjing Station?! ”

During the pursuit, Wang Tian had been listening to the gunshots. It was obvious that someone had beaten two rounds with Mauser twenty rings, and then the remnants of the river defense patrol camp surrendered. In this year, only the Anhui New Army was equipped with Mauser 20 rings on a large scale.

"The strength of a battalion is directly inserted into the Xiaoling Guard, which is heavily defended. It is unbelievable to annihilate more than 1,500 enemies in the time of a stick of incense! Brother Xu, your army commander is really a good means! Send out the personal guard battalion, I'm afraid I can't find a second one for this guts! Teachable! ”

After Zhou Jitang roughly counted the captives all over the ground, he sighed sincerely.

When he was in Wuchang, he was a pipe band (battalion commander) of the 31st Association, and after the Wuchang Uprising, due to the internal power imbalance, it triggered various shili power struggles. He and a dozen of his brothers were kicked out and arranged to go to Nanjing to contact the Ninth Town to launch an uprising. As a result, as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he heard the news that the Ninth Town was forced to revolt in advance, and the lack of preparation in advance, coupled with the fact that Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, had already taken precautions, and the battle was fought in an orderly manner. The rebel troops of the Ninth Town were beaten to the ground by the prepared Qing army at Yuhuatai, and even the town of Moling was lost. Zhang Xun led the Jiangfang patrol camp to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Ninth Town, and on the other hand, the search for the revolutionary party in Manchester City, if it had not been for the two important news confessed in advance, and the group was hidden by Nanjing Station, I am afraid that their group of outsiders who are not familiar with the place would have been finished long ago.

Xu Muyan glanced at Zhou Jitang, who was sighing, and snorted and ignored it. Our handsome family has been in Wuhu for four years, and Zhu Jiabao has been coaxed around. Able soldiers took Anqing without blood, and imprisoned Zhu Jiabao. This is naturally not covered, otherwise it can make our "uncle" of the Swallow Gang?!

"Brother Wang led his troops to move freely in the chaotic army, directly penetrated the Xiaoling Guard, and created the defenders with a small victory, and captured such an important place in the time of a stick of incense, brother admired! Dare to ask where the follow-up troops are? What is the goal of the handsome faction of Brother Wang to go straight to the Yellow Dragon and smash the Yellow Dragon? ”

Xu Muyan leaned forward and asked as she racked her brains.

"Hey, brother, we're all the same way, we're all rough people, we can't be so civil! Otherwise, you call me Lao Wang, and I call you Lao Xu, right? The chief instructor personally ordered that the guard battalion be directly inserted into the Xiaoling Guard. Didn't you hear the cannon fire just now, Yuhuatai has been taken, and now the artillery fire is extending. Yuhuatai is the only commanding heights in the south of the city, and Yuhuatai lost the ants on the hot pot that Zhang Renjun and Tie Liang were not in a hurry. The chief instructor estimated that they might see that the situation was not good and flee to the warship stationed in Shimonoseki. So we were sent here to see if we could catch two big fish, and to prevent the silver dollars from being taken away from the silver dollar bureau. ”

"The handsome man is strategizing, and the calculation is really accurate! On the way here, we heard rumors that Jang In-jun had run away! Now the Qing army in Nanjing is in chaos. ”

Xu Muyan patted himself a little, but he was really surprised by Hu Dashuai's amazing insight. They didn't expect this step yet, and they had already taken action.

"Brother Xu, Brother Wang, the news provided us, and we are also familiar with the internal situation over there, so it is better for us to lead the way."

Zhou Jitang observed his words and looks, and finally found an opportunity, and immediately stood up and interjected to reassure.

At that meeting in Wuhan, he was also a pipe band (battalion commander), and his military rank did not have to be low for Wang Tianda and others, plus he was an officer who participated in the Wuchang Shouyi, so it stands to reason that his aura should be greater than anyone else. But he, Zhou Jitang, put his posture very low, and he understood that there was no place for him in Wuchang. The unit in front of him, wearing steel helmets, high-top military boots, and submachine guns, took a strategic place garrisoned by 2,000 people in less than a stick of incense, and ate more than 1,500 Qing troops with 600 people. Just rushed to this, he was convinced! For the sake of the future, Zhou Jitang felt that this nomination was worth it, as long as he made another effort to win the silver dollar game, his brothers would have a place to go.

"This is a comrade of the Wuhan Military Government, surnamed Zhou Jitang."

Xu Muyan hurriedly introduced.

"So this brother provided the news?"

Wang Tianda loaded the submachine gun in his hand and squinted at Zhou Jitang in front of him.

Zhou Jitang, who was covered in thorns and hair, had to squeeze and laugh no matter how uncomfortable he was.

"Then there will be work! Chai Pengju, leave a platoon to guard the prisoners on the spot, and the rest of the brothers set off immediately! ”

Wang Tianda was born to be an aggressive guy, and he personally led the sharp knife to rush to the forefront. Under the guidance of Xu Muyan, Zhou Jitang and others, the guard battalion left bicycles and marched on foot to shuttle through the streets and alleys of Nanjing.

After Zhang Xun here lost contact with Zhao Huipeng of Xiaolingwei, he immediately knew that something was wrong! Xiaolingwei was lost, and the door of Nanjing was completely opened. No longer hesitated at the moment, and immediately sent a report to Wang Youhong of the Heavenly Castle, begging him to defend the Heavenly Castle. Then he immediately fled to the warship by the Xiaguan River with his cronies and fine softness, and he was so hurried that he didn't even have time to pick up his concubine Xiao Maozi.

The news of Zhang Xun's escape became a straw for the Qing army, and the Qing army, which had lost its command, lost all morale and was quickly defeated under the fierce artillery fire of the Anhui army. In the old-style army, where soldiers are there and soldiers are brave, the officer who leads the army is the core of the entire army. As soon as Zhang Xun left, the Jiangfang patrol camp immediately collapsed. The unrestrained Qing army immediately became bandits, and they did all kinds of evil in captivity. Nanjing, as the residence of the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, gathered large businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are not a few rich people in the city, and the smart ones grab a ticket and make some money for running away. Then as soon as he took off his uniform, he immediately became a common man and blended into the fleeing procession.

Along the way, the Qing army's defeated soldiers were looting everywhere, and there were even local gangs and rogue turbs taking advantage of the situation to loot. The bustling city of Nanjing is full of crying, and there are burning houses everywhere. I really couldn't stand it, Wang Tianda and his party scolded and killed all the way! As long as they encounter robberies and houses, whether they are Qing soldiers or ruffians, they will all be served with bullets! Along the way, more than 100 people were killed. The defeated soldiers of the Qing army, who were blinded by a series of guns that they had never seen before, no longer had the intention of looting, and shouted bitterly:

"Run! The Anhui army has entered the city! ”

Then the rest of the people turned around and ran.

Xu Muyan took a sip fiercely and was about to catch up and extinguish it, only to find that he was stopped by Wang Tianda.

"Brother, what are you pulling me for?!"

Xu Mu didn't know what to say, and struggled to ask.

"Lao Xu, look at my bull brain, I actually forgot such an important thing! Hurry up, put it on first! All brothers in casual clothes wear it! When we set out, the chief instructor specially ordered me to bring it, and after our army entered the city, it would immediately disperse and use the squad and platoon as a unit to clear out the Jianghu Hui Party, local ruffians, and defeated soldiers of the Qing army in the city. If you don't recognize people above the straight person, as long as you are not wearing an armed person wearing our Anhui army uniform, you will be shot on the spot! ”

Wang Tianda explained while taking out an armband embroidered with a yellow five-pointed star from the pocket of his training uniform and bringing it to Xu Muyan. The other officers and men of the guard battalion behind him followed suit and took out armbands from their pockets.

Xu Muyan immediately forgot about extinguishing his mouth, and let Wang Tianda clumsy it, his heart was warm.

"It's better for us to be handsome, and we will never forget our brothers. This life is bought for Dashuai, it's worth it! ”

This is the common idea of the brothers of Nanjing Station. The people of that era were generally simple, and they were used to seeing that it was rare to have such a humane handsome, so they were naturally grateful. Zhou Jitang on the side beckoned his brothers to put on armbands, and quietly wiped his eyes. After so many years in the New Army, it was the first time he had seen an officer who cherished the lives of his soldiers so much. This also strengthened his determination to take his brothers to join the Anhui Army, and he had already died for Wuchang. A government that is still fighting in the face of a strong enemy's pressure and shrinking control area is not worth the soldiers' desperate efforts in the face of a treacherous environment in which the control area is constantly being fought for!

"Dadada"

When there were still five hundred meters to go from the Silver Dollar Bureau, the soldiers guarding the Silver Dollar Bureau opened fire!

"Makqin! Lie down and spread out! ”

Wang Tianzong shouted for the first time to greet the officers and soldiers behind.

On the wall of the Silver Dollar Bureau, two Makqin coughers rained down a rain of bullets, hitting sparks and bullet holes on the ground. Hanyang Zao was also bold and fired a few shots. Since the guard battalion was well-trained, it was customary to keep a four-person squad away from each other during street fighting, so there were no casualties! Hanyang was basically lethal at this distance, and the Qing army's poor accuracy naturally hit nothing.

"Old Zhou, how much do you know about the internal structure and firepower configuration of the Silver Dollar Bureau?"

Wang Tianda leaned on the corner of the wall and asked with a roar.

"According to our information, all the marriages were packed in wooden boxes and kept in the backyard. The guards of the Governor's Office were stationed at the Silver Dollar Bureau, and there were more than 100 people in the army. Equipped with three Makqin and two 37 mountain guns. However, looking at the firepower and the number of people, the Jiangfang patrol battalion must have sent troops to reinforce it! ”

Zhou Jitang copied Xu Muyan's twenty rings before departure, and replied in 1510.

"Three Maxims, two 37 mountain guns?"

Wang Tianda read the data silently, and then made a gesture behind him. Chai Pengju, the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company, immediately leaned over with a cat.

"You take a squad and pretend to be ready to attack, attract the attention of the opposite side, and expose all the points of fire! Assign four sniper teams to the commanding heights around the perimeter, and inform the mortar company to prepare special ammunition and ordinary anti-personnel ammunition at the same time. Watch me do it again! ”

Wang Tianda, calm down and ordered.

Soon, four sniper teams (one sniper and one observer), with the help of other officers and soldiers, climbed up the roofs of the surrounding houses along the corners. The scope was fixed on all the active lifeforms on the wall of the Silver Dollar Bureau, and the twelve 82 mortars of the mortar company on the other side were prepared with special shells and ordinary anti-personnel shells in half and half. Chai Pengju, who was on the task of luring, also slowly approached with a squad of soldiers, picked up the smoke bomb and threw it out. Take advantage of the moment when the smoke fills the air, shout, and shoot desperately from different corners.

The defenders, who were obscured by the smoke, listened to the dense gunfire and shouts of killing, panicked on the spot, and mistakenly thought that the Anhui army was attacking. The previously concealed firepower points shot like headless flies at the place where the sound came from, and the surrounding buildings were full of bullet holes.

"One, two, three...... Four...... Five! Five! ”

The observers of the sniper group, who had already climbed to the roof, immediately recorded the location of the firing point, and the snipers switched to drag bullets to indicate the target to the mortar company.

"Full company, two rapid fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The crisp sound of the mortar pierced through the dissipating smoke, and the whistling shells followed the parameters and headed straight for the target. After twelve loud bangs in succession, the entire Silver Dollar Bureau shook and was engulfed in the rising gunsmoke.

"Battalion commander, the sniper reported all twenty-four hits!"

Chai Pengju, who had ripped it off, leaned over and reported.

The exchange of fire just now lasted no more than ten minutes, and in less than a single stick of incense, a fortification equipped with three Maxims and two 37 mountain guns was blown into the sky along with at least 200 defenders. Looking at Wang Tianda, who was holding a cigarette with an indifferent face, scattering smoke everywhere and planning to wait for the gunpowder smoke to dissipate and go up to count the seizures, Xu Muyan and Zhou Jitang, who had never seen this kind of play, immediately had enough brains.

When the smoke cleared, the guard battalion once again formed a four-person street battle formation and slowly approached it, and the entire Silver Dollar Bureau was blown up in half. didn't find any live mouth, Wang Tianda nodded with satisfaction and went straight to the backyard with his brothers.

Thanks to the usual training, the mortar company's salvo was accurate, and the backyard storehouse where the silver dollars were stored was not affected in any way. A wooden box was pried open at random, and there were stacks of silver dollars neatly stacked inside the good guys, which were dazzling white. After a preliminary count, the silver dollars plus a batch of small yellow croakers and gold ornaments looted by the river defense patrol camp amounted to at least more than 3.4 million yuan. After getting the specific figures, Wang Tianda couldn't hold back any longer, and looked up to the sky and laughed three times. Then he pulled the signal soldier and shouted:

"Send it quickly! Report to the chief instructor, we have seized more than 3 million silver dollars in the Silver Dollar Bureau, and the money for the expansion of the army is available! Our department left a company of guards to guard, please send the chief instructor to bring the troops to receive it! ”
