It all happened between the lightning and the flint, without the slightest delay, and it was only twenty seconds before and after.

The violent shock wave overturned the surrounding guards, the windows of the two adjacent cars were shattered, the black car produced by Junda Company was seriously deformed, one wheel was blown off, the explosion also ignited the fuel tank, and the car quickly burst into flames.

The cyclist was already dozens of meters away at the moment, and the two attackers who were the first to open fire on the side of the street were also not lightly injured.

Covered in blood, they staggered for a moment before giving up, leaning against a telephone pole and holding their hands down, dripping blood all the way.

"Thieves are in trouble! Call the police! ”

"Let's go out of the water, put out the fire!"

"Don't get in the way! Get in the way! ”

Although today's rainy day is very bad, there are still many pedestrians coming and going on the streets, after all, this is the most economically developed place in the Ming Dynasty.

After the attack, panicked citizens quickly moved away from the scene of the incident and immediately began to spontaneously call for help.

Someone rushed to the nearby public telephone booth to dial the "〇〇00" phone number - although the telephone penetration is not as common as that of the first industrial countries in Europe, but the Ming Dynasty was one of the first countries to try to call the police, and it was officially implemented in Tianfu and Shanghai at the beginning of this year.

"This is the Nanhui County Police, calm down, don't panic, briefly describe the situation."

"There's... There are so many people shooting! Yes! And the explosion! Come on, people......"

"Calm down, miss, tell me the location."

"Hmm... I... It seems to be the intersection of Anchang South Street and Yu'er Lane! ”

Nowadays, there is no walkie-talkie, the efficiency of the telephone alarm is not high, and the local police bureau cannot contact the patrol police around the incident site at the first time after receiving the police, which can only be said to be more convenient than manpower to run over to the police.

In fact, police officers patrolling the neighboring streets had already rushed over after hearing gunshots and explosions.

Later, as more and more patrols arrived, the two shackled assailants were apprehended after a simple bandage, but the attacker, who was dropping a bomb on a bicycle, managed to escape.

At the scene of the incident, while the fire had not completely engulfed the entire car, the conscientious guards struggled to drag out Chen Zhongxu, who was bloody and seriously injured.

At the same time, the capital.

The second meeting in the Mandarin Hall has been going on for about a quarter of an hour, and the factories in the northern city have started today's production, and the shops in the southern city have opened one after another.

At the eastern foot of Qingliang Mountain in Xicheng District, the employees of the Daming National Broadcasting Company also came to their place of work one after another, which is where the company's headquarters is located.

Behind the headquarters building is a towering tower, which is the company's broadcasting tower.

In order to facilitate the divergence of radio waves and the convenience of work, in the twenty-fourth year of Zhichang, the company's headquarters and radio broadcasting tower were located in a flat area at the eastern foot of Qingliang Mountain.

At that time, the government and the opposition debated for a long time whether the design of the broadcast tower should follow the steel structure of the Eiffel Tower to show the power of industry or follow the traditional pagoda shape, and finally decided on the latter.

To a large extent, this radio broadcasting tower refers to the glazed tower of Dabao'en Temple and the Kaifeng "Iron Tower", with eight sides, eighteen floors, about 116m high, and decorated with various colors of neon lights.

During the day, under the sun, the glazed tiles shine; After nightfall, the neon lights are colorful.

At this time, a sedan and a minivan passed through Qingliangmen into the city, and then went east along Qingliangmen Inner Avenue until the intersection turned left to the north.

The two cars slowly stopped at the entrance of the broadcasting company's headquarters, and several guards on duty were wondering why the two cars had come, and the next second they saw someone jump out of the truck with a gun.

The muzzle of the black hole pointed straight at them, and the attackers who rushed over shouted: "Get out of the way, don't look for death!" ”

The three guards returned fire with their guns drawn, but their pistols were too weak compared to the attackers' Winchester lever rifles, Remington semi-automatic shotguns, and Ruifeng shotguns.

It only took a few breaths before the servant was thrown to the ground.

The attackers had a clear division of labor and acted neatly, and headed straight for the headquarters building.

The gunfire just now startled the employees of the headquarters, and the menacing attack on the part of the dozen or so attackers that followed made people even more frightened.

But these guys don't want to kill innocents, they claim to be righteous, and their goal is very clear - to seize radio control of the radio tower, give speeches, and broadcast their own ideas!

"Let's go, don't get in the way!"

"Get out! Stunned for what? ”

For example, the workers who had been granted amnesty hurriedly ran out, almost crawling, as if they would be killed if they were any slower.

In the blink of an eye, the first floor of the building, which had just been quite lively, was empty.

The attackers did not linger long, but left the building through the back door and drove to the pagoda-shaped radio tower.

In addition to the two accomplices of the broadcaster, four or five other employees were also detained and asked for help.

"You're finally here......"

"Move fast, the doglegs are coming later!"

"You five go guard the door, you two go to the second floor and watch."

At the entrance to the first floor of the broadcast tower, several people closed the door and moved the tables, cabinets, and chairs next to them to block the door.

They then began to redistribute their weapons and ammunition, and the two men on the second floor even took out an old aviation Lewis light machine gun from the large box they were carrying, as well as three thickened cartridges and a bag of bulk 7.7mm MkVII rifle cartridges.

The well-organized attackers were on their tracks, and in the control room on the fifth floor, several workers were trembling and debugging their machines under the threat of guns.

By this time, the sirens from a distance were becoming clearer and clearer.

Because the place where the incident occurred was not remote, the patrolmen around Qingliangmen quickly rushed over after hearing the gunshots, and the employees who escaped described to them how terrifying the attackers were.

"Is there a mask?"

"Nope."

"What weapons did you bring?"

"Guns, lots of guns! Everyone had guns. ”

"Uh... To be clear, short gun or long gun? ”

Unsure of the situation at the border with the Liberia and knowing that the attackers had "heavy firepower", the first patrolmen did not choose to rush in.

They quickly dispersed the nearby onlookers and then moved barricades to block the road.

When the reinforcements arrived, the police were divided into two teams, more than 20 people, and rushed into the headquarters building.

The workers had all fled, and after a quick search, it was determined that the attackers were all trapped in the radio tower at the back.

Dozens of police officers from the Tianfu Police relied on the building and formed a semi-encircled formation around the radio tower dozens of meters away.

Officers used loudspeakers to shout at the radio tower, demanding that the attackers immediately surrender.

"The thieves in the tower listened, immediately threw away their weapons and came out to surrender!"

"It's still too late to change my mind, but it's just a few years in prison, and I'm not a good citizen before I change my mind."

"What's the use of fighting the trapped beasts? If you resist stubbornly, you will definitely end up being shot to death! ”

There was an insulting voice from the window on the second floor of the radio tower, "It's better to talk than to sing, let go of your mother's fart!" Fuck the dog! ”

"Da Da Da-"

"Bang! Bang! ”

A barrage of machine-gun bullets and gun-like shotguns slashed their heads and faces, and the 30 or 40 police officers present were shocked and immediately opened fire.

The exchange of fire between the two sides was fierce, crackling like a few firecrackers being lit, and the citizens near the broadcasting company felt as if they had returned to around the end of the year.

It was dozens of meters apart, light machine guns, shotguns, and shotguns on that side, and most of them were pistols.

"It's so ferocious! You can't just rely on a short gun! ”

"Hurry back, call someone to help!"

The embarrassed Ying Tianfu police called the Yi'an Police Department to report the situation at the scene and asked for support.

Two police officers had just been patrolling the North City district in their cars, and now they also came spontaneously, but before the car could be stopped, a deputy superintendent rushed over.

"U-turn around! Go to Donggua Street, there is a gun shop there, hurry up and borrow some long guns! ”

In this way, half an hour later, two police officers rushed into the Xu's gun shop at the end of Donggua Street, and the shopkeeper thought that he was coming to arrest him.

However, after indicating their intention to requisition the guns, the clerks were very cooperative, and quickly stuffed more than a dozen civilian automatic rifles, lever rifles, three-barreled shotguns, and shotguns on the display cases and gun racks into the trunk of the police car, and also gave several large bags of various ammunition.

It's not that I don't want to give more, but the guns in stock are all encapsulated, and the barrels are all slimy gun oil, which will be cleaned up before being sold, and now I can't do it for a while.

The arrival of a dozen spears finally gave the officers at the scene some confidence, and although they were still unable to overpower the attackers, at least the situation was reversed.

Obviously, this situation cannot be solved by the Tianfu police alone.

More than an hour after the incident, a team of Yi'an troops arrived late.

By this time, the attackers had already used the occupied radio tower to give speeches to the outside world for dozens of minutes.

Officers cut off the power to the radio tower and temporarily suspended the broadcast, but then the attackers inside used a backup gasoline generator on the first floor to restore power and continue to send radio waves.

Compared with the weak firepower, the soldiers of the Yi'an Army deployed old-fashioned Shaosha light machine guns in various places on the second and third floors of the company's headquarters building, and fired alternately to suppress them.

Although the aviation Lewis light machine gun had a large ammunition capacity, it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and it was quickly suppressed to the point that it could not return fire.

Who would have expected that in today's Daming capital, there was a scene of two types of old-fashioned light machine guns firing at each other during the European War decades ago?

The soldiers then began to cautiously approach the radio tower from both flanks, trying to rush in to eliminate the men.

But the attackers were cunning, smashing the vending machines in the lobby, opening the caps of glass bottles of Coca-Cola, orange soda, orange juice, and beer, and combining them with two barrels of gasoline from the gasoline generator to make dozens of improvised burnt bottles.

"Boom! Whew—"

The crisp sound of shattering and the sound of flames jumping up one after another, and more than a dozen ignition points appeared in an instant!

Flasks that flew out of the building turned the area around the tower into a sea of fire, and some people were splashed with flames, so they had to slap and roll to extinguish the flames.

The attackers' counterattack was so sudden that the Yi'an army, trying to clear them, had to abort their hasty attack.

The premeditated attack was highly targeted, and the occupied radio towers broadcast on the frequencies of the official news agency of the Ming Dynasty, the Sun and Moon Agency, and this time of day in the morning is one of the prime times for people to listen to the radio.

Naturally, the speeches of these attackers were clearly heard throughout the Ming Dynasty and throughout East Asia.

“…… Compatriots from the north and south of the country, we should no longer be weak! Since ancient times, the trend of the world has been the state of the weak and the strong, the stronger the stronger, and the weak will die! ”

“…… I am all brothers and sisters of similar blood in all 60,000 countries, and we are similar in spirit and in similar circumstances, and these sufferings are nothing more than cowardice! Misleading the country and the people! ”

“…… Internally, he bullies the weak and refuses to benefit the people's livelihood; Outside, he cowered and refused to wave his master to dominate. If the world is a world of great contention today, how can there be a reason for horses to release Nanshan?! ”

“…… What's the point of war? The eldest husband opened up the territory and expanded the territory, even if he died on the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather, he could also be famous in history, and he would be admired by thousands of people in later generations, and it would not be a life in vain! ”

“…… Are you still content with the status quo? Follow our obsession and vision, military and civilian people of the whole country, etc.! No matter what is lost, a person will eventually die, or lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai! ”

“…… They now surround us, and the fighting is fierce, and we will fight here until the last moment, and will not compromise with the deaf and treacherous courtiers and their lackeys! ”

“…… The fact that we wanted to cut off the power shows how afraid those guys are to let the world hear our words. Maybe they'll blow up the antenna later, and everyone, the disappearance of our voices doesn't mean surrender! ”

In the Hongde Hall, this impassioned voice continued to come out of the exquisite radio and surround the hall.

The middle-aged female official was very difficult and uneasy—she had planned to turn off the radio, but the emperor stopped her.

"This is the real purpose of these guys," the crown prince on the side muttered, "The spearhead is very clear, and the wording is also quite demagogic, which is bound to arouse the resonance of many ordinary people." ”

The emperor himself looked quite comfortable, he took a sip of warm tea, and said with a smile: "I didn't criticize the royal family, but said that it was the weak and traitorous people who deceived me." ”

"If you are stupid enough to make enemies on all sides, these two factions will not survive today." The crown prince shook his head slightly, "It's really noisy, father, the aftermath of this matter is not easy, even a little bias will cause an uproar." ”

"So what? They are too eager to prove themselves, too arrogant. The calm emperor said lightly: "If you are happy to see it, you will naturally acquiesce; On the contrary, if it is not allowed, how can it be connived at making a big fuss? ”
