007 Shelling

When Lin Zhimian and others took President Sun to the naval unit, Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army and Hong Zhaolin's Hunan army had already begun to march towards the Yuexiu Building of the Presidential Palace.

"Looks like it's real!" Huang Ke couldn't help but gasp, he only had a team of less than 100 people in his hands, and these were still his own guards and the presidential palace guards. And he himself did not know how to really arrange troops, and he had no actual combat experience.

For a while, he was in trouble in the face of the surging enemy, and he knew in his heart that the only way to buy time for the president's departure was to wait for help. Huang Ke summoned a cadre of officers from the presidential palace and discussed countermeasures with them.

"Minister, our brothers will take someone to collect Wenlan Pavilion!" Without waiting for Huang Ke to ask, Chen Keyu, the head of the guard, and Yao Guanshun, who joined the army, took the initiative to ask Ying to be willing to go to Wenlan Pavilion.

"Good!" As soon as Huang Ke finished speaking, Huang Huilong, the adjutant of the guard, stepped forward and asked, "I am willing to lead troops to guard the main gate." ”

Huang Ke nodded in permission, and next, Huang Ke sent people to guard Hengmen, Tianqiao and Yuexiu Building. Different from the garrison that was waiting for the battle, Huang Ke ordered everyone to open the gate, and all the guards stood guard as usual, and several people were a little puzzled, why was the lights on? Isn't this an opportunity for others to take advantage of?

"Listen to my orders, everyone will believe in the flares, and when the flares will rise to the sky, everyone will go on a killing spree! Do you understand? Huang Ke scolded everyone to carry out the order.

After everyone dispersed, Huang Ke called a soldier and ordered: "Hurry up to the switchboard room, listen to my order, and pull the gate together when the time comes!" ”

At midnight, a large number of troops of the Guangdong army and the Hunan army poured over, Huang Ke ordered the gate of Yuexiu Tower to be opened, and the guards were on duty as usual, but behind the bright gate, the two teams of soldiers in their arms* were already waiting for the day, and the flower machine* also opened its nose, ready to attack at any time.

Seeing that the gate of the presidential palace was open and the lights were bright, the Hunan and Guangdong troops who came to attack thought that the president had not received the news at all and was still in the presidential palace. Several junior officers thought that they could immediately arrest Sun Wen back to receive the reward, and they immediately became excited.

"Brothers, capture the president alive and reward 200,000 silver! What are you waiting for? In the crowd, someone shouted loudly, like a stimulant, and as soon as it was shouted, those teams suddenly became active.

"Capture XXX alive! 200,000 silver reward! Everyone shouted loudly. At this time, the guards standing at different entrances saw these rebels as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they just moved the flower trap* in their arms forward, and pointed their guns outside.

"Rush! Capture XXX Alive! When everyone shouted hard, Huang Ke gave an order, only to hear a long drag sound of "chirp", and a red signal flare rose in the dark sky.

"Not good!" A veteran who was running fast showed a hint of ominity in his heart, and before he could shout, the originally bright gate instantly went black.

Then, several searchlights flashed, and the scorching light made them feel blind for a moment, and at this moment, some flames suddenly appeared from the originally dark gate, which was none other than the flames emitted by a row of flower traps* when they fired.

Tower! Tata Tower! In the night, the tongues of fire were lined up to form a net of fire, and a hundred meters away, the Cantonese officers and soldiers with old rifles fell down like wheat harvesting.

The Cantonese army that came to attack fell by more than 100 people in a short time, and the attacks in several directions were also disrupted one after another.

"Okay, it's going to be like this, so that these bastards don't dare to come again!"

Seeing the enemy's offensive formation being disrupted, Huang Ke couldn't help but show joy. The well-trained presidential guards were really good at this kind of melee and night combat, and they were equipped with automatic weapons, and the firepower suppression at short distances was not comparable to those Cantonese officers and soldiers with old sleeve rifles.

However, he soon lost his joy, because when he looked into the distance again, he saw a battalion of Cantonese soldiers a few hundred meters away from the main gate, and under the command of the commander, the night was dark, and under the illumination of the lights, groups of soldiers lined up and rushed forward.

Just when Huang Ke led his troops to start a fierce battle in the presidential palace, Fourteen Tsai had already run out of the city in the chaos and came to the new army station.

After watching the panting Fourteen Boys run in, Yang Yibing and a few people hurriedly came over.

Seeing that several people had come over, Fourteen said breathlessly: "Quick! All the teams are ready to gather into the city, Chen Jiongming has defected! The Commander orders you to go and quell the rebellion. ”

Wang Maocai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he touched his beard and said: "Just now, a sentry reported that there are signs of the Cantonese army in Guangzhou City moving back and forth, and it seems that Chen Jiongming has decided to betray the revolution." ”

"Yes" Cui Wu, who has always rarely spoken, said: "It seems that the city is in danger, let's hurry up." ”

"Notify all teams to assemble!" The trumpet of the assembly sounded, and the New Army garrison moved in an instant. The sound of the officer's command, the whistle of the assembly, and the stray footsteps intertwined and resounded in a mess.

Soon after, a procession of more than 5,000 people began to march towards the city of Guangzhou, because it had been transformed into mules and horses very early, and the speed of the procession was significantly faster when it entered.

On the other hand, Lin Zhimian and others escorted President Sun to the naval station. Around Yuexiu Tower, Chen Jiongming had actually arranged for the next surprise soldier to ambush there. The officer in charge of the interception thought that the president would definitely leave in a car, so he ordered to open fire immediately if he saw a car.

Unexpectedly, after the chaos began, the whole road became chaotic, but after waiting for a long time, I never saw the car come out. While this group of ambush soldiers was waiting, Sun Yat-sen and the others had already left Yuexiu Tower and went to the naval station.

After a night of fierce fighting, the rebel forces had taken possession of Canton and seized various offices and took control of the entire government apparatus. Outside the presidential palace, the rebels charged more than ten times, but they were all repulsed by the guards led by Huang Ke.

After a night of fierce fighting, the corpses of the rebel soldiers were carried out one by one, and they were about to pile up into a hill. Hong Zhaolin, the general of the Hunan Army who attacked the presidential palace, saw that the infantry charge was ineffective, and scolded: "Dog, who wants to lead the death squad to organize another charge?" ”

The officer next to him saw Hong Zhaolin so angry, and hurriedly walked forward and said: "Division commander, those people in the presidential palace guard rely on favorable terrain and the advantage of automatic weapons, we will definitely not be able to attack for a long time, so it is better to change the attack method." ”

Hong Zhaolin frowned and smiled when he heard this: "Good boy, you reminded me." Hurry up, now hurry up and mobilize artillery and shoot a few mountain guns flat, even if the defense line is not breached, Sun XX will be killed by random artillery! Haha, that's well said! Now all the troops stop the attack, go and gather the artillery. ”

The battle lasted until dawn, and the gunfire in front suddenly became sparse. The officers at the front of the defense ran over and reported to Huang Ke that the rebels had stopped their offensive and were now resting in place.

Huang Ke couldn't help frowning after hearing this, although it was a good thing that the rebels had stopped attacking, they must still be brewing a larger-scale attack, what kind of attack was it?

Although Sun did not die because of this rebellion in history, it is difficult to say about his samurai.

Huang Ke said cautiously: "The rebels think that the president is still here, they will definitely not give up, they stopped the offensive so rashly for a larger scale of the attack, everyone is temporarily resting, but they are still defending at their original posts." ”

"Yes!" As soon as Huang Ke's order was finished, suddenly a piercing whistling sound came, and Huang Ke and several other officers stood there, listening to this strange sound.

"Not good! The enemy is shelling! The battle-experienced officer fell on Huang Ke at once, and then a roaring explosion came.
