Hearing the sound of gunfire outside, Huang Ke had already concluded that his new army had returned. Most of his new army were equipped with British-made fast guns, which had a completely different sound from the old sleeves used by the Cantonese army, so after identification, Huang Ke sent someone to contact the new army.

This wave of new army is the new army led by Wang Maocai, after seeing this wave of new army, Huang Ke was greatly surprised, he said to the soldiers of the new army: "Hurry up and take me to meet your commander, I am Huang Ke, the commander of the new army." ”

Although several recruits had not seen Huang Ke, they had heard the name of the chief and the highest commander. Looking at the dozens of soldiers in front of them wearing standing army uniforms and carrying *, their faces were full of exhaustion, and the *hot barrels of guns showed that they had been fighting fiercely for a long time.

"Sir, please wait a minute, I'll go back and tell the sir" Although they were a little suspicious, these soldiers did not dare to slack off, and several soldiers immediately returned to the rear headquarters and crossed the level to report to Wang Maocai.

Wang Maocai frowned after getting the news, and after hesitating for a moment, he changed into his military uniform and said, "Take me over quickly." ”

After making peace with the new army, Huang Ke began a large-scale counteroffensive in the city. After briefly inquiring about the whereabouts of the other troops, Huang Ke decided to immediately concentrate all the current troops and attack the headquarters of Chen Jiongming's department with all his might.

Choi Wu is a ruthless person, which is shown not only in his coldness to others in battle, but also in his coldness to himself. During the siege, he was wounded in the head, but he rushed out without even bandaging it. Those who are cold to themselves must also be cold to others.

After capturing the city of Guangzhou, Cui Wu did not rest for a moment, and after a simple repair, he immediately led the troops to attack the city in a roundabout way, chasing and fighting all the way.

During the storm, Cui Wu also used the only few German-made mountain guns of the new army, and the artillery power was huge in the street fighting, and an archway on the street was converted into a firepower point by the enemy, and three Makqin blocked the way forward.

In the face of such a tricky thing, Cui Wu did not send infantry to charge at all, he asked two 75mm mountain guns to be out of the range of the machine guns, and after setting up the cannons, the entire archway became a ruin after a rumbling sound, and those rebel soldiers were all buried inside.

Cui Wu was not soft on the enemy, so after the attack began, his troops attacked very quickly, and in less than an hour, they crushed nearly a regiment of the rebels.

Compared with Cui Wu's rapid attack, Yang Yibing's side was much slower. Although he was carrying a team of several hundred people, Yang Yibing was afraid of this and that, so the team's attack was much slower, and the team's casualties also increased a lot.

However, at the end of the day, his team also captured a lot of places, and the rebels were not an army in the first place, so after being attacked fiercely, they quickly searched the defensive circle and gradually lost their advantage.

Bang! Just when the fierce battle was raging in the city, there was a sudden roaring sound from the sea, Huang Ke stood there, looking at the sky where the sound came, and after a while, a strange sound came. Huang Ke felt as if he had heard this strange voice somewhere, and he didn't react until he understood.

"Not good! It's shelling, everyone is lying down! As soon as he finished shouting, bursts of explosions rang out one after another in the place where the rebels were concentrated.

The new officers and men who were attacking let out a burst of cheers when they saw the enemy being blown up, but soon they were not so optimistic. Because the shelling covered the entire city where the rebels were concentrated, there were not only many rebels, but also the people living in the city.

Most of Huang Ke's new officers and soldiers came from this city, and when they saw their hometown turned into ruins in the shelling, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill, and some of their junior officers ran up to Huang Ke and shouted with a crying voice: "Sir, quickly inform the president and let him stop the shelling!" "If we continue to fight like this, half of the family in the city will not survive."

When Wang Maocai saw a group of officers coming to beg for a halt to the shelling, he scolded: "What do you want to do? We don't have to fight the enemy if we destroy it, why can't we understand this point? ”

A junior officer said with a crying voice: "Commander Wang, you don't know, our old and young are all there, and this shelling has also blown up our family." ”

"So much scruple about fighting a war, so many bottles and cans? Get out of here! Wang Maocai scolded.

"Shut up!" Huang Ke suddenly scolded Wang Maocai angrily.

Looking at the pleading of this group of officers, Huang Ke's heart couldn't help but be touched. He took a deep breath and said, "Quick! Quickly go to the telegraph room, quickly send a telegram to the president, and let the Navy stop shelling! ”

Wang Maocai said hesitantly: "Commander, if the shelling is another hour, we don't have to fight ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Ke's eyes glared angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said?" Go and carry out the order! ”

"Yes!" The communications soldiers scattered out, and they began to search for telegraph rooms throughout the city. Finally, he found the civil telegraph room at the post office, and after finding it, Huang Ke ordered someone to immediately send a telegram to the president and ask him to stop the shelling. There was no response, but he knew that the president had received his request. Just for the sake of the big plan, he didn't respond. Huang Ke scolded, he grabbed the intercom and asked to talk to the president directly.

"Mr. President, please stop the shelling now, our new officers and men promise to settle the battle before sunset tomorrow! We, the new officers and men, are guaranteed to be able to settle the battle before dawn tomorrow! ”

Hearing that the other party still didn't respond, Huang Ke shouted hysterically again: "All the new officers and soldiers are in the land of Yuegui, doing so will make them feel cold!" ”

At this time, the other party responded, and the familiar voice came.

"Xinghua, the revolution should focus on the overall situation, since you have asked so much, I should respond. However, such an attack would increase unnecessary casualties. ”

After speaking, the original roaring artillery sound stopped, and the shelling had been going on for more than half an hour, and although most of it was concentrated on military targets, there were still heavy civilian casualties.

After hearing this, Huang Ke let out a sigh of relief and said, "President, please rest assured, Huang Ke will do his best to capture the traitor alive!" After speaking, Huang Ke put the big-brimmed hat on his head upright, and then walked out quickly.

Huang Ke said to Wang Maocai beside him as he walked: "Inform all the troops to assemble, and we will attack after an hour of repair, we must defeat the rebels and capture Chen Jiongming alive!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Maocai watched Huang Ke put on his hat, and this time he unceremoniously carried out the order.

When it was dark, Huang Ke's team had already begun to attack, he had already sent people to contact Cui Wu and Yang Yibing, and now more than 5,000 people of the three-way army were gradually narrowing the encirclement in the city, eating the rebels in the city little by little.

Street fighting was an extremely brutal battle, but the short guns equipped by Huang Ke's officers and soldiers were conducive to street fighting. In addition, Cui Wu and Yang Yibing had already started attacking them from other directions, which further formed an encirclement of the rebels. When some rebels saw that the overall situation had been decided, they simply defected, so after a night of fierce fighting, Huang Ke's troops not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

After a night of fierce fighting, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and finally the rebels were trapped in a position in the corner of the city, and the defenders were no more than a few hundred men.

"Commander, now you can take them down in one go. Wang Maocai was willing to personally lead his troops to attack. Wang Mao had just finished speaking, and Yang Yibing was unwilling.

"Where is the need for you to lead the troops, I can take it in half an hour with the gendarmerie. Commander, give orders. ”

Cui Wu, who had always been silent, smiled and said, "A few mountain cannons can be leveled, you don't need to bother!" ”

……

Several people scrambled back and forth, but Huang Ke didn't say a word, he kept looking at a large-scale map on the table, on the map where Chen Jiongming was surrounded, he drew a circle, but the blue ocean next to it was clearly displayed.

After listening to a few people's words, Huang Ke put the pencil still on the paper and said: "The siege site is not far from the sea, you don't keep thinking about attacking, beware of them and don't run away." ”

A few people didn't say anything.

"Don't worry about it now, trim it all up, and the dumplings in the pot can still run? Inform the troops, rest in place! ”

Huang Ke stopped the offensive because he had said that he would capture Chen Jiongming and his other rebel generals alive.

The naval bombardment and the offensive of the Forces nouvelles inflicted heavy losses on the rebels, and the rebels were already certain to be defeated in a fierce battle overnight. Chen Jiongming also felt unprecedented pressure. The situation envisaged at the beginning of the rebellion not only did not materialize, but instead put them in a situation of change.

In the command post of the rebels, Chen Jiongming walked around anxiously, and the officers under him also looked at him, not knowing what to do at this time.

The current situation is what he did not expect, not to mention driving away Sun Yat-sen, now even Guangzhou City can not be saved, the new army led by Huang Ke has occupied most of Guangzhou City, and is now narrowing the encirclement and preparing to encircle him.

Frustrated and embattled, it is very appropriate to describe Chen Jiongming's current situation. He walked for a while and then stopped, his head raised.

"Do you have any countermeasures? Can't you just sit back and wait here? Chen Jiongming's anxious head was sweating, but the officers next to him looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

The soldiers were in the city, and not far away was the tiger and wolf army led by Huang Ke, and when he listened carefully now, he could hear the sound of gunfire like bursting beans outside, and the roar of the flower machine* made him upset.

But there was a mess in his team, thinking of this, Chen Jiongming couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and he sighed and then burst into anger.

"A bunch of wretched! A bunch of rubbish! Chen Jiongming reprimanded his officers like thunder, none of these people have been able to come up with ideas so far, and they really can't satisfy him.

At this time, an officer's staff came over, and they suggested to Chen Jiongming: "Now we have to retreat, the situation is not in our favor, and preserving strength is the key." ”

Chen Jiongming smiled: "Huang Ke and I have had several encounters, although this person and I have different political views, but I expect this person to be a loyal and courageous person." I'm going to fix a book now, and I'll send it to Huang Ke immediately. ”
