Chapter Thirty-Five: The Night of the Battle

Jingzhou, Hubei Road, Hanjiang City, Nanshi Hanjiang Manufacturing Bureau.

This place is not as deserted as the streets of Nanshi, and there is not a single empty figure on a long street. Wang Feng led a team of more than 200 people to quietly approach the Hanjiang Manufacturing Bureau, and he ordered in a low voice.

"Brother Zhuoran, send a few people to the door, give the guards' guns, you knock all the shops along the street, if there is foreign oil, bring it to us."

With an order, more than 200 soldiers dispersed, and Wang Feng and Wang Yangming touched it with a group of soldiers.

A few guards at the door were still chatting and yawning, but they were held down one by one, and Wang Yangming said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!" ”

Several of the guards had their guns down, and one of them, speaking in a Hunan accent, asked us, "Are you rebels?" ”

Wang Feng nodded and beckoned the soldiers to follow.

The guard said: "You guys are really here, there is no one on duty on the corner tower today, our general manager Zhang went out to pay respects, and the king is still staying in the gray building." ”

Wang Feng smiled: "Thank you, stay outside honestly, it won't hurt your life." ”

Several guards were escorted down, and the talkative one was still muttering: "This Great Qian Empire should have died long ago in the year of Gengzi!" ”

A platoon was left at the door. The soldiers followed the officers along the long corridor and rushed forward, and when they met the guards along the way, they generally surrendered, and only a few people reacted, and the gunfire pierced the quiet night sky, waking up the entire manufacturing bureau at once.

When Wang Feng and the others rushed out of the corridor, another wall was horizontal in front of them, and an iron door was locked.

Several guards poked out their rifles from the door and did not shoot, and the soldiers around Wang Feng suddenly put on a ready posture.

Wang Yangming scolded loudly: "Are you still working for the Tartars?" Hurry up and open the door, or the bullets won't last long! ”

The soldiers dropped their guns and ran in, and the soldiers rushed forward and smashed the iron door open in a few blows. Then they all rushed in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a large open factory area, a three-story gray building, a few windows standing tall, the firelight flashed and the gunfire was loud, the fire of the infantry and machine guns was tilted over, and the soldiers in front were immediately knocked down.

Wang Feng and the soldiers all lay down, each looking for an obstacle to hide, and heard the bullets whistling overhead, Wang Feng lay on the ground and shouted.

"We are an insurrectionary army! Brothers, don't die for the Tartars! Put the gun down! I guarantee your safety! ”

Wang Yangming also shouted at the top of his voice: "We are only against the imperial court, everyone is a son of the Han family, why bother to act for the tiger!" ”

The sound of machine guns was still tight.

A platoon commander stood up and cursed, and rushed forward with a dozen brothers, but before he could rush out a few steps, he took the lead and was knocked down, and the momentum flew high with his body and fell to the ground, and the other soldiers were also killed and wounded.

Wang Feng closed his eyes in pain, this was the first time he had seen a bloody dead person in this era. He was not afraid, just thinking about the platoon commander, he was brought by Wu Wencai, with a pair of gentle eyes, and a shy smile, he was not good at speaking, but he resolutely took the lead today, but he died here.

All the rifles fired, and many sparks splashed from the gray building opposite, but the machine gun fire on the opposite side was still as endless as ever, and when the Makqin machine gun fired, the unique copper sound seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Wang Yangming ripped open his collar beside Wang Feng and wanted to rush up, but Wang Feng hurriedly held him down: "Wait for someone to come up!" Don't rush hard! With such fierce firepower, you can't rush forward! ”

There was a noise behind him, and Chen Jianghe and a dozen brothers each carried two barrels of kerosene and crawled to Wang Feng.

His officer's hat was shot in the eye, but he smiled at Wang Feng indifferently: "There is really a foreign oil shop here, let's smash the shop, the boss is not only not angry, but also gave us these twenty barrels of foreign oil for nothing, but we can earn it." ”

Wang Feng glared at him fiercely, and looked at the other side with red eyes, Wang Feng pulled him and Chen Jianghe to lie down together.

"We only have rifles, and we will definitely not be able to open this gray building, and if we set it on fire, they will be afraid. You are here to organize our rifle fire, block the enemy's fire, Brother Zhuoran and I, each take ten people to go around from both sides and set fire to the building! ”

Although Chen Jianghe only listened to the gunfire intermittently, his eyes puffed out suddenly, and his handsome face was crooked.

"Why do you want me to organize fire in the back? You are the highest official, you stay behind, and Brother Zhuoran and I go up. ”

Wang Yangming disagrees with no one's opinion: "One is the highest official, and the other is three generations of single transmission, neither of them!" Zhang San's kid is here, he has always died, I went up with him. ”

Wang Feng thought about it and nodded: "It's just decided, we don't have time to discuss more, this is an order!" ”

Wang Feng climbed to the front and ordered the soldiers to cease fire first, and he said loudly: "Listen to my orders later, everyone will let go!" Aim your enemy's guns in the eye and seal them down! ”

He tugged over the rifle of a dead soldier, pulled the bolt to see that there were three more bullets, and snapped the bolt again.

Later, Wang Yangming and Zhang San had already picked out the daredevils and moved to the two wings.

Wang Feng tilted his head, aimed at the loud order: "Release!" ”

The muzzle flame jumped and shook his eyes, the butt of the gun hit his shoulder hard, a huge pain, he couldn't care much more, just an order, release! Until their own bullets are finished.

His eyes were blurry, and he saw the figures on both wings moving upward, he was so nervous that he was covered in sweat, and his mouth kept shouting "let go, let go".

The sound of the rifle on his side had already become a mess, maybe it was night, this gray building was not a military fortress after all, and the sight was limited, and the soldiers who were moving up on both sides piled up the foreign oil downstairs, turned around and ran back.

Wang Feng's eyesight also recovered at this time, and he suddenly saw that Chen Jianghe, this kid, was running at the back!

The enemy finally saw them, and a rain of bullets came obliquely, and Chen Jianghe fell to the ground with a flutter.

Wang Feng slapped the ground there and shouted: "Chen Jianghe! ”

When the enemy's fire turned around, I saw Chen Jianghe jump up and rush to us in a few big strides and lay down.

Before he could see if he was injured, the kerosene drums over there had already been set ablaze by the soldiers with rifles.

There were two huge explosions of "boom", and the fire suddenly burned into a piece, and there was a burst of screams in the gray building, and the firepower suddenly weakened.

There was nothing the team could do here, just now there was a burst of rifle bullets, almost all of them were gone, only staring, it didn't take much effort to stretch out a white flag from the smoky gray building, and the shouts of Jiangnan accents.

"Don't shoot, set fire, the king has already run through the back door! We surrender! ”

More than a hundred soldiers of the barracks in coats and underwear, empty-handed, holding their heads, ran out of the gate, knelt in the open space in front of the building, their faces blackened, and looked at the cheering soldiers with fear.

The officers and men rushed into the building while putting out the fire, and found guns, bullets, and official documents scattered everywhere on the ground.

Wang Feng ordered repeatedly: "Each squad is a unit, control all the manufacturing bureaus, everyone load the bullets, and carry the machine guns up in the corner towers on all sides, without my order, not a single mouse is allowed to come in!" ”

Only then did he have time to look at Chen Jianghe, who was alive and spirited beside him, this kid didn't have any.

Wearing a hat crookedly to pick up bullets there, Wang Feng opened his pocket watch and saw that the attack on the manufacturing bureau had been fighting from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning.

The night has not yet passed.

Wang Yangming slapped Chen Jianghe there, smiling like a child, Wang Feng pulled him up: "Brother Zhuoran, you immediately send someone to get in touch with Nanshi Niansun and them, and send the notice of our Hanjiang Military Government to post it all over the street, now we are a dignified righteous army, this name is the most important!" Let Zhang San take a company to the Beishi Patrol Police Bureau, now that we have our hands free, there are 200 fully armed patrol police, and we can't let it go! ”

Zhang Zhenwu suffered this loss back then, and after playing the manufacturing bureau, they gave the most credit, but he was mentally exhausted and went to rest.

Seeing that Wang Yangming was ordered, Wang Feng felt that his whole body was sore, and he was afraid of attacking. I didn't feel the bullets just now, but now I really feel covered in cold sweat.

He shook his head, and a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously, and by dawn, Hanjiang City, the largest inland city in Hubei Province, was restored in his own hands!

Wu Wencai's side also acted very quickly, and after taking the Hanjiang Police Headquarters, they immediately divided their troops to rob the Hanjiang Customs Road and the Hanjiang County Yamen. The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver deposited in the Hanjiang Customs Road were Wang Feng's earnest advice and could not be left in the hands of others.

When Wang Wu galloped with a company and borrowed the horses of the horse patrol team, several officials from the Han River had already run clean.

The customs road did not move at all, and Wang Wu immediately arranged a sentry, and according to Wang Feng's order, the entry and exit were strictly controlled, and no idle people were allowed to approach.

And Wu Wencai was there, and almost immediately recruited police officers and sergeants who were willing to serve, and formed a new detachment, and sent the officers from the 6th Army Middle School to lead and command.

Then, they immediately went out to patrol the streets and put up notices, asking people to take advantage of the chaos to rob and steal, and deal with them by military law on the spot.

With the firelight of the Hangang Manufacturing Bureau, the city of Hangang at night was stirred, and the streets were full of people coming out in twos and threes, asking what was going on?

Some people swore that when they saw the white-helmeted and white-armored people's army enter the city, some people who knew the details thought it was Sun Wu and they revolted.

It wasn't until the men who were still wearing old police uniforms, wearing white towels, and wearing the symbol of the third detachment of the Iron Blood Army on their chests that they were patrolling the streets, that everyone knew that the main force of this uprising was this Iron Blood Army who had never heard of it.

Immediately, firecrackers were set off on the streets, and people with good deeds flocked to the Hangang Customs Road, the Police Headquarters, and the Hangang Manufacturing Bureau, all of which were places to see with their own eyes the hands of the Seogang Fortress.

As for the Great Qian, the court has been pushed into history after this night.

Wang Feng sat in the original room of the General Office of the Manufacturing Bureau, with red eyes, writing a bulletin, and the people around him quickly followed. Immediately go to the stereotyped mimeograph, anyway, there are workers in the manufacturing bureau, these work is done quickly, the manufacturing bureau is laid, after a preliminary count, there are already four 75-mm mountain guns, 12 imitation 75-mm mountain guns, 40 or 50 Makqin heavy machine guns, nearly 10,000 rifles, the number of shells and bullets is too large, and it is impossible to check the number for a while.

There is also the purchase of silver, other people's payment silver, several kinds of tax silver collected by the manufacturing bureau, in short, more than 700,000 taels of silver, it is indeed a treasure trove.

Lu Si shouted a report at the door, and Wang Feng looked up to see that he was carrying a rifle on his back, a Zilaide pistol pinned to his waist, and a revolver, and the bullet belt on his body was bulging.

Looking at him with blazing eyes, Wang Feng smiled and said, "What are you doing with so many guys?" What's the matter? ”

Lu Si still habitually kept a straight face: "There is a person named Jiang Lingwu at the main gate, who claims to be the director of the Manufacturing Bureau, the chief director of the Hanjiang Business Group, if he wants to see the chief, he also brought dozens of soldiers from the business group, in addition, Chen Sanye is also back, and he also wants to see the chief." ”

Wang Feng stood up happily: "Is Third Master Chen back?" Very good! I'll go see him right away, and as for that Jiang Lingwu, it's okay for him to wait. ”

Lu Si saluted, and took Wang Feng to see Chen Sanye.

Wang Feng looked at his serious appearance, smiled and asked him again: "Brother Lu, what is your expression?" Also, what are you doing here? And with so many guys? ”

Lu Si bowed his head and led the way in front: "Sir, I haven't written yet, as for bringing so many guys, in such a big place as the Han River, it is difficult for the enemy to sweep them all away, in case someone counterattacks, he can do it immediately." ”

Wang Feng patted him on the shoulder: "After the Han River tonight, there will be no fighting!" If you want to fight, it's also a matter of using your brains and mouths, if you want to fight, I'll take you, turn around and fight enough. ”

Chen Sanye was in a house and had been waiting for Wang Feng for a long time. When he saw Wang Feng coming in, he stretched out his hand and held Wang Feng's hand tightly.

"Commander Wang, you've done something amazing! Over the years, thousands of brothers have died in Hongmen, and we haven't even taken down a small county town, so you took four hundred brothers to fight Hanjiang City, and I kept muttering in my heart, I didn't expect that this city would really be beaten down for you like this! ”

Wang Feng knew in his heart that he was completely taking advantage of the familiar history.

The people of the party have already done countless liaison work in the front, and the officials and soldiers in all important places are almost waiting for the people's army to appear in front of them, so that they can exchange guns and wait for the recovery, but they did not expect that there would be such a foreigner as themselves, and they were so cheap.

He laughed awkwardly and asked Chen Sanye, "Please ask the third master, can it be done?" ”

Chen Sanye swept the sack with his eyes: "This lord is still drinking flower wine in the concession, and was dragged unconscious by a few of our Hong Gang disciples, and then got on the boat, hid in the bilge, and left the concession, and may not have woken up yet!" This time, I Chen San chose new faces who had never appeared in the Han River, and I was also careful along the way, so that no one would find out. ”

Wang Feng laughed: "So, thank you Third Master, I was a penniless poor man at the beginning, but now I have a little money." This time, no matter what, I want to thank Chen Sanye for his kindness, just to say goodbye to the brothers. ”

Chen Sanye held down Wang Feng's hand: "Sir, who do you think of us?" The word "righteous anger", our Hong Gang still distinguishes clearly, if you say this again, I will pull up the river and turn around and leave, as if I have never been to the Han River. ”

Wang Feng smiled helplessly and beckoned a few guards to order: "Hurry up and arrange for Chen Sanye to take a rest, this sack and the people in it will be carried to my temporary office, tomorrow, I will look for him again, but I am not allowed to let him die!" And be sure to keep it a secret! ”

Jiang Lingwu and Zhang Zhenwu stood at the door of the manufacturing bureau, followed by dozens of sleepy-eyed members of the merchant group who were dragged out of the bed.

When they arrived at the manufacturing bureau, it was already half past one o'clock in the morning, and they saw that the soldiers standing at the door were all vigilant and neatly looking.

Say nothing and don't let them in. A notice of liberation and a notice of peace and security have been posted at the door. When you look at it, the bright red seal of the Han River Military Government and the Governor of the Han Army is very eye-catching.

It's just that the name on it is very unfamiliar, Wang Feng! They chewed on the name in their hearts for a long time, but they really couldn't think of who it was.

I had to hand over my name post, waiting at the door, the two looked at each other, and they were smiling bitterly in their hearts, who knew that the night was not over, and the day before they were eager to try, the situation on the Han River changed!

It wasn't until a quarter past two that a young officer with an indifferent face came out and welcomed the two in, and dozens of members of the merchant group wanted to follow up, but they were forcibly stopped.

Jiang Lingwu and Zhang Zhenwu walked into the manufacturing bureau that they were all familiar with in the past, and now except for the traces of the battle in front of the gray building, everything else was still the same, only the patrol with white towels on their arms walked past them from time to time.

Although the corner tower on all sides could not be seen clearly, there must be a machine gun guarding there, and the two sighed at each other again, and followed the young officer towards the office of the original general office.

Wang Feng was already waiting for them there, just as he said to Lu Si, the future situation of the Han River will depend on his mind and mouth to fight, and seeing Erwu is the beginning.
