"Here I personally bring reinforcements to the top, and you take the brothers down to rest first, and prepare for a more brutal battle after dawn." Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo made a decision categorically, and then admonished;

"Don't forget to send a part of the troops to patrol the city, and those who violate the curfew and go out on the streets without permission will be killed immediately. We are now fighting in front, and we are most afraid of chaos in the city. ”

"I understand the sir, there is no forgiveness for killing." Liao Yuanyuan's major was indeed extremely tired, so he was no longer polite at this time, raised his hand in salute and dragged his heavy body away.

Soon there was a command from the commander outside, and the soldiers who had been fighting hard for a day were rotated and replaced with more than 600 officers and soldiers who came to reinforce them.

The strength of the entire three regiments was scattered in several places, east, south and southwest of the city, plus the reserve of more than 600 people that Hu Zhengguo always held in his hands, as well as the rear port area guarded by the fourth battalion and the baggage battalion led by Deputy Commander Liu, the strength was diluted to the extreme.

In the face of the enemy's unreasonable all-out attack, the 3rd Regiment relied on the fortified castles, peripheral city buildings, bridges and other key points left over from the Spanish colonial period to fight calmly and calmly, so that it was able to hold out until now.

At the end of the bloody battle, there were not many shells left, but fortunately, the infantry ammunition was quite sufficient. With the convenience of the port, the three regiments are already using the same batch of munitions that were delivered last week to replace damaged guns and replenish ammunition, and continue to output steady fire against the enemy.

During the Spanish colonial period, one of the best things to do was to build a Catholic church, and the other was to build a castle fortress, and the same was true in Tumaco.

To the south of Puerto Tumaco, to the southwest of the city, stand two fortified fortress-like castles, about 3.5 kilometers apart, which form a formidable barrier to the south of the city.

The artillery of the three regiments was also set up in these two castles, and with these two castles as the core, some fortified buildings in the south of the city formed a perimeter defense line with the surrounding walls, and inflicted a large number of casualties on the enemy.

Judging from the current battle situation, the southern defense line is still relatively solid, and even if the thugs enter the city, it will be difficult to overcome the strong stone castle-like fortress for a while.

The biggest problem for the defense was in the east, where the Spaniards did not build fortresses, but instead formed a defensive line with two rivers and buildings on the periphery of the city.

If a small group of enemy troops attack, it is nothing, just hold the bridge. However, the thugs launched an all-out attack, jumped into the river like dumplings and swam over, climbed ashore, and attacked wildly with knives and guns, so that the defense line was fully alerted for a while.

If it weren't for Hu Zhengguo's constant timely reinforcement with more than 600 reserve officers and soldiers, the eastern defense line of the city would be in danger of a complete fall.

The north of the city is the port area in the rear, which is fully defended by the four battalions and the baggage battalion, and is the rear of the entire city's defense line, which has not been disturbed by the war for the time being.

To the west of the port of Tumaco is an open dock area, where two cargo ships are moored, one for grain and the other for construction supplies and daily sundries.

The key is that there is a large amount of supplies stored in the dock warehouse area, and if it is obtained by the rebels, it will greatly increase the strength of the rebels, and even a fire will not be left for them.

The enemy's intentions were insidious, to instigate an uprising of the oppressed Colombian population in the surrounding area, storming the city and occupying it in turn.

Even if the three regiments are covered in iron, how many nails can they hit? Today, Port Tumac is an island in the middle of a storm, crumbling in the face of fierce onslaught, still gritting its teeth and holding on.

About 40 minutes later, after the rebels reorganized, countless black shadows appeared in the wilderness outside the city, holding knives and guns in their hands.

Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo's eyes were filled with anger, and he waved his hand fiercely and shouted loudly;

"The ministries organized a counterattack and beat me hard!" Bursts of gunfire rang out again, and the attacking shadows jumped into the river and swam hard.

The platoon guns of the defending soldiers hit the water, causing a high splash as if the river was boiling.

The overnight fight began again...... In the early morning, when the sky was dark, the eastern front, which the enemy had focused on, was broken through again, and more than 100 officers and men of a company holding the bridge were all wiped out, and the thugs poured up along the stone bridge like a tide, and launched a fierce and bloody battle with the defenders for the city.

Liao Changyuan, the chief of staff of the regiment, led his subordinates to arrive in time, and the church of Santo Domingo, which occupied one side, launched a volley of guns against the enemy, cutting leeks at close range, and brought down a large number of rioters.

Sometimes, the two sides are only twenty or thirty meters apart. At this critical time, the enemy sent elite troops equipped with Chasebo rifles, a move that led to a sharp increase in casualties among the defending officers and soldiers, and after eight rounds of repeated tug-of-war, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo had to order a retreat.

The southern front defense forces were also all reduced into the two fortresses, and they fought to the death with their strong defenses.

At this time, it was close to noon on the second day, and the fierce battle had been more than 27 hours, and the entire city was shrouded in the smoke of war, and the corpses were strewn all over the place.

Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo led the remnants of his defeated army to retreat into the port area, which meant that most of the Tumak had fallen, and the mob waved knives and guns to celebrate the victory, and dragged all the city residents out and coerced them into participating in the city-wide riot.

It didn't take long for the black and oppressive mob to flood in, ready to storm the city in one fell swoop, kill all the Orientals, and get a good breath of oppression and colonization.

The port area was empty because of the roads and large storage yards, and a few logs, coal, and grain covered with rainproof tarpaulins were piled up like a hill to become the best defense.

Seeing the rioters spreading, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo's bloodshot eyes were full of anger, and he waved his hand and ordered;

"Hit ...... Hit ...... hard"

"Dadada...... Da ......" The devilish sound of heavy machine guns rang out intensively, and eight heavy machine guns accompanied by bursts of dense gunfire were aimed at the mob that was surging up under the black pressure to vent their fire.

It can be clearly seen that 8 lines of fire like the scythe of death are raging repeatedly, efficiently harvesting human lives, setting off bursts of blood mist in the attacking mob crowd, causing shocking serious injuries.

When it comes to the efficiency of killing, heavy machine guns are second, and no weapon dares to rank first. Hand-cranked 6-barreled Colt heavy machine gun in the diabolical

"Dadada...... Da ...... "In the catharsis of firepower, the steel rain of death was sown, causing a large number of casualties among the mob, and the desperate escape of crying fathers and mothers caused a large area of trampling casualties.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting......" Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo ordered loudly. The demonic roar of heavy machine guns finally stopped, and the battlefield was filled with clouds of black-gray heavy gunsmoke, and the salty and strong sea breeze quickly washed away the gunpowder smoke and blood, presenting an extremely tragic scene in front of him.

The empty roads and storage yards were strewn with corpses, like bloody slaughter fields, and the scene was too tragic.

This scene was like a basin of ice water splashed in front of them, and the thugs who were originally in a frenzy went from one extreme to another, and their emotions collapsed instantly...... The leader of the rebel army on the other side did not estimate that the army of the Tang Empire still had a heavy machine gun and other weapons of destruction, and he couldn't collect it when he saw the gathered mob collapse in an instant.

This situation made Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo also breathe a sigh of relief, and sat on the log with his buttocks. Then, he saw that the heavy machine gun position was piled up with a thick layer of bullet casings, and dozens of long magazines were discarded aside, and immediately jumped up as if frightened.

shouted loudly;

"You little rabbit cubs don't feel distressed about selling Ye Tian, so many bullets

"Tutu" is all done for the master. What are you still doing? Put away all the long magazines for me, fill them with bullets and get ready to continue the fight, prevent the enemy from coming back again, and save a little bullets.

Give me orders; Without my orders, the battle again could only be fired from 4 heavy machine-gun positions, and the others waited for orders.

No wonder the military department refuses to equip heavy machine guns, this thing is really too expensive, and the gold and silver mountains can't bear it! "Report sir, the effect of heavy machine guns in destroying the enemy is really good."

"Nonsense, do I have eyes that can't see? The problem is that for a while

"Tutu" tens of thousands of bullets will be lost, this is all money! To say the least, it would have to be a few thousand larger. ”

"Report to the sir, it is true, but it also repelled the enemy's crazy attack and severely reduced the enemy's arrogance."

"Well, having said that, it's important to spare." The thugs in the city were demoralized by the heavy machine guns that covered their heads and faces, and they could not regroup for a long time.

Although these fanned thugs are a little lacking in heart, they are not stupid, and no one wants to die in vain.

Looking at the empty harbor area, now covered with layers of corpses, a post-apocalyptic hellish scene, the scene itself is already convincing.

On the other hand, the officers and men of the Third Regiment who retreated to the port area had hundreds of painful wounded in the warehouse behind them, and more than 650 officers and soldiers had been killed, and their strength had already been greatly reduced.

Although they had the heart, they were unable to counterattack the city occupied by tens of thousands of rioters, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Lying down on the edge of the pile and sleeping in his clothes, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo woke up again at dusk, he was awakened by bursts of cheers, sat up blankly and looked around.

I saw two 1,500-ton armored destroyers sailing all the way on the clear blue sea, and behind these two warships, there were six huge ships, two of which were obviously migrant ships.

On these two migrant ships, densely packed with heavily armed Imperial soldiers, swords and guns, looking at the beacon-filled city from the far sea, this is the arrival of imperial reinforcements.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengguo felt as if his whole body had been hit by an electric current, and an infinite sense of pride rose in his heart.

Big tears burst out of his eyes, and he stood up and screamed heartbreakingly......
