Putting aside the stalemate in the Congress, let's go back to the headquarters of the New China Party outside the city.

As early as after Sun Yuanqi, Tang Shouqian and others left, Chen Xunen and Yang Yongtai began to destroy confidential documents and evacuate important personnel in a planned way to prevent a possible round-up. After the congressmen finished breakfast and left for the meeting, Chen Xunen also completed the final inspection, accompanied Yang Du and Yang Yongtai to evacuate the headquarters, and drove straight to the House of Representatives building, waving flags and cheering for the members of his party.

The headquarters of New China has always been full of people, and there are always some mysterious actions every once in a while, so ordinary staff members don't feel anything abnormal. In their minds, it's a normal day. Unexpectedly, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, thousands of thugs carrying wooden sticks, iron rods, and other murder weapons suddenly poured along the main road, and in an instant, they surrounded the headquarters of the New China Party, which covered an area of several tens of hectares.

As the center of the whole party, the headquarters of the New China Party is certainly not a soft persimmon that can be flattened and pinched! Don't look at the usual only a few soldiers standing guard at the gate, in fact, there is a company of heavily armed troops stationed inside. At this time, seeing the violent, all of them immediately rushed out to put up a defensive position. I saw that the standard weapon in their hands was the Zhonggong 1911 rifle, and the simple and easy-to-carry 60mm light mortar was almost equipped with one per squad. What is even more excessive is that this company of more than 100 people actually has four Makqin heavy machine guns, which are being erected around the headquarters building of the New China Party at this moment. It is conceivable that if these thugs armed with cold weapons outside dared to break in, they would definitely not be able to enter the building half a step without paying the blood and lives of hundreds of people!

These thugs were all officers and soldiers of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Beiyang Army. Naturally, he knew the power of the big killing weapons in the hands of the defenders on the opposite side. The wooden sticks and iron rods they carried in their hands should be more than enough to deter ordinary people, but they should be used to storm the defensive positions of rifles, mortars, and heavy machine guns. It's no different from suicide!

Seeing this, Zhang Hongkui, the commander of the Sixth Brigade, who was transferred to assist in the arrest of key criminals, hurriedly discussed with Zhao Bingjun and said: "Lord Zhao, the number of defenders in front of you is close to a battalion, and the weapons and equipment are excellent, equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars and other heavy weapons, far beyond our initial expectations. Although our army was slightly superior in numbers, it did not carry ammunition or weapons in accordance with the military order, and now it is difficult to take the building with bare hands. What do you see, my lord? ”

Although Zhao Bingjun knew before that the New China Party Headquarters had a company or so of troops. But I didn't expect them to be armed to the teeth, and they couldn't gnaw it off for a while with the cold weapons in their hands. Do you want to use guns and artillery to attack? Guns and sticks are two different things! If something happens to the latter, it can be covered up and blamed on the civic group or hooligans; If you use guns, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for President Yuan to shirk his responsibilities indiscriminately, right?

After pondering for a while, Zhao Bingjun said: "Brother Zhizhong, this matter is very important, and Zhao does not dare to make a decision easily. I think it's better to go and ask the commander first. Let's see what he thinks. You tell me? ”

Zhao Bingjun didn't dare to take responsibility, and Zhang Hongkui didn't dare to take responsibility even more, and hurriedly replied when he heard the words: "Lord Zhao is right!" Anyway, this place is not very far from the Grand Presidential Palace, and it doesn't take an hour to go back and forth if you gallop on horseback, and you can have time at all. ”

It is said that since sending Liang Shiyi, Zhao Bingjun and others away last night, Yuan Shikai has always felt uneasy. I couldn't fall asleep over and over, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say why, so I tossed and turned in bed until dawn. Fortunately, everything was normal next, which made Yuan Shikai slightly relieved. However, the final result was not obtained, and the heart was always flickering and hanging in the air. At this time. Zhao Bingjun's messenger invited him to knock on the door and ask for instructions.

Hearing that the headquarters of the New China Party was heavily guarded and well-equipped, Yuan Shikai inexplicably settled down in his heart, and in turn comforted the messenger: "Sun Baixi owns two of the largest and most advanced arsenals in the country, and the headquarters of the New China Party is his lair. As for how to break through this place, Xingcheng and Dou Zhan (Ruan Zhongshu), what are your two opinions? ”

Yang Shiqi is a few years older than Ruan Zhongshu, and he has seen Sun Yuanqi several times, and he has a good impression of Sun Yuanqi, and replied: "Dashuai, they all say that 'swords and guns have no eyes', once the knife and real gun are fought, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries." Sun Baixi is quite famous at home and abroad, if he is injured in the battle, won't it cause an uproar? It will also have a huge impact on the reputation of the handsome. Therefore, Yang felt that it was better to persuade him to surrender than to attack.

As far as Yang knows, Sun Baixi's personality is humble and retreating, peaceful and easy to tame, not a stubborn and stubborn person. Now Sun Baixi and others have become caged birds, and it is impossible to escape with wings, and the National Assembly has existed in name only, and the closest unit under his command to Beijing is the 47th Brigade of the Army stationed in Datong, and it is difficult to rush to the rescue in three or five days. Even if he relied on the elite weapons in his hands to be trapped for three or five days, what could he do? What about three or five days later? As long as he knows the stakes, he should judge the situation and catch him. ”

"Although Brother Xingcheng is reasonable, he made the mistake of 'black under the light', resulting in 'one son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost'." Ruan Zhongshu shook his head as he spoke, "Is the closest thing to Beijing to Sun Baixi's headquarters is the 47th Brigade of the Army stationed in Datong?" Brother Xingcheng has not forgotten that during the Ding Revolution of the former Qing Dynasty, the Qing Imperial Guards attacked Jingshi University twice? Although after the agreement between Dashuai and Sun Baixi, all the troops stationed at Jingshi University at that time were withdrawn to Datong and Shuoping, Jingshi University still kept about 500 elite forces in the name of the security team, as well as an unknown number of light and heavy weapons. The students of Jingshi University and its affiliated middle school have always been martial, and there are military drill courses every semester, and with a little mobilization, their combat strength is no less than that of a brigade. Jingshi University and the New China Party are close at hand, and they must be within easy reach, so let me and others persuade Sun Baixi slowly? ”

Yuan Shikai bowed slightly: "What does that Douzhan mean?" ”

Ruan Zhongshu replied angrily: "Since we have sent people to surround the National Assembly and search and suppress the headquarters of the New China Party, we are already riding the same tiger, and there is no possibility of stopping halfway!" As for fame, it is just a thing used by the pretending to be a high-ranking person to sell fame and reputation, what is the use of us who kill and establish authority? In Ruan's opinion, since Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, Wei Taizu killed Yang Xiu, and Qing Shizu killed Jin Shengsi, then we also killed Sun Baixi! As long as the handsome man holds the authority, fame and the like will follow him unexpectedly, how can there be so many scruples at all? ”

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but put down the ginseng soup in his hand: "Dou Zhan said very well, Yuan is now difficult to ride a tiger, and it is difficult to collect the water, and there is only one way to go to the dark, how can there be so many scruples?" Zhao Zhi'an and Zhang Zhizhong (Zhang Hongkui) were ordered to use various weapons, including mountain artillery, to launch a strong attack. No matter what means they use, they must capture the headquarters of the New China Party before dark today, and all the criminals will be captured! ”

After obtaining Yuan Shikai's authorization, Zhao Bingjun, Zhang Hongkui and others had no scruples, and immediately began to prepare firearms and ammunition for a strong attack. Although there are arsenals in Beijing, it is not easy to transport the munitions to the front of the position, especially heavy weapons such as mountain artillery and heavy machine guns, which take a lot of time.

While the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Beiyang Army was intensively preparing for battle, Chen Shiji, commander of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 2nd Regiment of the 47th Brigade stationed at the headquarters of the New China Party, was also busy nervously. What is strange is that Premier Sun Yuanqi, General Director Tang Shouqian, Chief Yang Yongtai, Secretary General Yang Du, and others, who were still at the headquarters yesterday, have all disappeared at this moment, and in desperation, he can only give up the near and far, and at the same time send a telegram to the headquarters of the 2nd Regiment stationed at Jingshi University and the headquarters of the 47th Brigade and Brigade in Datong, asking for instructions

The brigade headquarters also called back in time, but the content made Chen Shiji very angry. The telegram demanded that the first company actively prepare for defense, and if the invading enemy launched a strong attack, the first company must give up resistance after two minutes of exchange of fire and voluntarily disarm and surrender. After two minutes of firefighting, you must give up resistance, and you have to take the initiative to disarm and surrender? Why? With the weapons in his hands and the fortifications he built, Chen Shiji felt that he was fully capable of guarding the headquarters building until the arrival of reinforcements from Jingshi University!

However, Chen Shiji, who has experienced the baptism of the battle of school guarding, is no longer a chick, and knows that fighting on the battlefield is not as simple as simply upholding justice, but more often out of political needs. As long as there is a political need, the war can be fought at any time, or it can not be fought at any time, as it is now. As an ordinary company commander, he is not qualified to question at all, he just needs to strictly follow the order.

The battle began at 3:10 p.m. by the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the attacking Beiyang Army.

Chen Shiji seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction, and from the beginning of the war, heavy machine guns and mortars have not stopped, and he has been aiming at the most densely populated places to carry out frenzied strafing and bombing. As soon as the time of two minutes was up, he quickly ordered his subordinates to smash the weapons in their hands, and then raised the white flag cleanly. Such a contrasting contrast not only made the attacking Beiyang Army look at each other, but even Zhao Bingjun and Zhang Hongkui, who supervised the battle, were a little confused, so they had to order Chen Shiji to lead his troops to withdraw from the trenches first, and then carefully sent people into the headquarters of the New China Party to carry out a search.

If the attack is the first surprise and then the joy, then the search is the first joy and then the surprise. Zhao Bingjun led people to rummage through the headquarters of the New China Party, almost digging three feet into the ground, and there was still no trace of Sun Yuanqi, Tang Shouqian and others. He had no choice but to coerce and lure everyone at the New China Party Headquarters, hoping to find useful clues, and at the same time hurriedly sent someone to report the general situation to Yuan Shikai.

When Yuan Shikai heard that the defenders of the New China Party Headquarters had only resisted for two minutes and that Sun Yuanqi and others were nowhere to be found, he was immediately shocked, and a strong sense of foreboding hit his heart again. Yang Shiqi, Ruan Zhongshu and others were also at a loss. In a panic, Yuan Shikai looked around, suddenly saw the radio on the desk, and hurriedly ordered Yuan Keding to say: "Quick, turn on the radio!" (To be continued.)
