Light machine guns gradually lost their power due to lack of effective cooling, and the firepower density of heavy machine guns also declined.After all, the amount of ammunition is limited, and it is not enough to shoot as many bullets as possible.The soldiers had to use rifles, grenades, and even pistols to fight against the merchant group. Casualties were increasing, and fewer and fewer people could go to the battlefield.

Chapter 399 The Water Reinforcements

"Captain Rao, let us go. We have also participated in training and can shoot." Liang Peng, the manager of Siming Bank, saw that the defense was getting more and more difficult. He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.Seeing that the casualties of the soldiers were increasing, he immediately asked for instructions to go to the battlefield.Hearing Liang Peng's pleading, other bank and bank staff came over and expressed their willingness to take up guns to defend the bank.

Rao Guoliang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. The governor has already said that you are all scarce financial talents in Hualan, and you can't lose any of them unless you have to. If you didn't insist, I would have sent you to the factory area." .”

"We will never leave. We will stick to this industry to the end." Liang Peng and many bank managers expressed their determination.

"Report to the captain, the Hualan Bank on the opposite side suffered too many casualties, please help." A team member ran over and saluted Rao Guoliang. This is the fourth time that the Hualan Bank building opposite has requested reinforcements. It can be seen that the battle situation there is abnormal. fierce.

"Let's go, let me take a look." Rao Guoliang stood up and said to the two remaining reserve teams: "The third class will follow me, and the fourth class will stay and be ready to fill in the defensive loopholes at any time."

Through the connecting tunnel, Rao Guoliang quickly ran to the opposite bank building, and only after entering the building did he realize that this place had become a hell on earth.Since the Hualan Bank building is close to the Huangpu River, the area in three directions is very open, so Chen Qimei devoted all of his energy to this place. For this reason, he mobilized [-] heavy troops to attack in turn.The [-] members guarding the building have always stood their ground, killing and injuring a large number of merchant soldiers, but they also suffered heavy losses.

At this time, gunpowder smoke was everywhere in the bank building, and the pungent smell of gunpowder made it difficult to breathe. There were dead soldiers and wounded soldiers lying all over the ground. mouth out, desperately shooting towards the outside.

Rao Guoliang waved his hand and led the soldiers to meet him. A new force joined the blocking team, and the firepower increased immediately.The charge team of the merchant group stagnated, but then they launched a more frantic charge.Liang Peng and many other staff also ran here along the tunnel.They saw the wounded all over the ground without waiting to be called, and immediately stepped forward to give first aid.

At this time, the bank guards had reached the final moment, and the large number of soldiers was downsizing, which seriously weakened the blocking firepower, and the ammunition was getting less and less.Rao Guoliang couldn't help secretly regretting that he had underestimated the strength of the opponent's attack. The number of people transferred was too small, and they didn't bring enough bullets. Now the people guarding the bank building had only the last base of ammunition left.

At this moment, huge black shadows suddenly appeared on the Huangpu River.Those black shadows lined up in a dense column, and slowly drove past the edge of the battlefield. The confrontation between the two sides was fighting too fiercely, and no one noticed the arrival of these black shadows.

With a flash of fire, the sound of cannons like thunder came from far to near, and a huge shell fell into the charge of the merchant group with a scream.There was a loud bang, and more than a dozen soldiers from the merchant group were blasted into the sky, leaving a huge pit half a meter deep on the ground.

"What happened?" Seeing that the resistance of the bank building was getting weaker and weaker, such an accident happened halfway.Chen Qimei raised her head in surprise, and looked at the river that was still in flames. With the flash of the muzzle, he finally saw clearly that there were more than a dozen huge warships, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Run, the other party has a warship." Chen Qimei shouted, and fled with her cronies.He knew very well that in a place like the river, it was difficult for infantry to resist the firing of naval guns.After all, compared with the army, the navy's artillery is too big, even for small warships.

At this time, on the destroyer Huxing, the acting fleet commander Cai Tingqian was standing upright on the bridge, watching the fleeing business group members with the binoculars in his hand.In 1909, the naval officer who lived in seclusion for fear of being retaliated by the diehards, under the influence of the ideas of the Vanguard Party, resolutely went to Zhongchuan for investigation and research. As a result, he deeply admired Zhao Shouhong's industrial achievements.

After learning that Cai Tingqian entered Sichuan, Zhao Shouhong sent someone to find him. At this time, Zhao Shouhong came to Sichuan for the second time to take charge of the government. The Hualan Pioneer Party also gradually moved from the underground to the ground, becoming a semi-open revolutionary organization in China. , the court just turned a blind eye.Under the contact between the two parties, Cai Tingqian offered to join the Hualan Pioneer Party, and then expressed his willingness to serve in the Shu Army.

Zhao Shouhong was greatly surprised by Cai Tingqian's initiative to join.He immediately expressed his willingness to invite Cai Tinggan to join the Shu army, but it was not the army he asked to join but the navy, which surprised Cai Tinggan.Cai Tingqian did not expect that the inland Zhongchuan military actually had a naval fleet, which surprised him, who was born in the navy.

Soon Cai Tingqian was transferred to Guanghai City, where he saw the small fleet he was going to command, a fleet consisting of four Huxing-class destroyers, ten 021-class large ocean-going torpedo boats and ten Seawolf 1 submarines. The fleet was later supplemented with several minesweepers and minelayers.Although this fleet was small, Cai Tingqian was really excited for a while. He immediately led the fleet to carry out regular training and stayed in the secretly built Xiaoyangshan Port.

Cai Tingqian received a call from Zhou Jianping this afternoon, asking him to prepare for dispatch to help Guanghai City's defense operations.Because they were afraid that someone with ulterior motives would detect their secret port, they did not pull anchor until nightfall.This time it was to support land operations. Cai Tinggan left all the submarines at home, and rushed to the Huangpu River to participate in the battle with only the destroyer formation and torpedo boats.

The time when the fleet arrived was very coincidental, just when the bank building was about to fail, so he ordered the naval guns to make a rescue. As a result, the merchant group was scared off after a few shots.After using light signals to inform Rao Guoliang that reinforcements had arrived, the four destroyers divided into two teams, each with five torpedo boats, and began patrolling the Huangpu River to prevent business groups from crossing the river again to attack the factory area.

Chen Qimei returned to the urban area with the people defeated. He counted the number of people and found that the business group had lost thousands of people.Such a serious casualty made his teeth itch with hatred. He never thought that the fat in his mouth was actually a hard bone.

The casualties of the rebel army were so high, but they did not receive any weapons and ammunition. Chen Qimei felt a little ashamed.Wang Yiting and others next to him also felt useless, but who would have imagined that Zhao Shouhong, the governor of Zhongchuan who had just announced the uprising, would have established such a powerful armed force in such a distant city of Guanghai, and even owned a naval fleet.

Chapter 400 Frame the blame

At this time, the gunshots near the Gwanghae Road Yamen became intense, and the area where the gunshots appeared was also moving rapidly towards the direction where the merchant group's armed forces were located.Chen Qimei frowned secretly when he heard this, and he immediately ordered everyone to be alert. He knew that it was very likely that the recovery army was fighting with the Houjin soldiers, and one of them fled.Regardless of whether the recovery army is the Houjin soldier who fled in his direction, he must be ready to fight.

Sure enough, Chen Qimei soon saw Li Xianmo, whose face was full of smoke and dust. He ran quite hastily, and behind him were hundreds of members of the Liberation Army who were fleeing.Chen Qimei ordered everyone to hide in the dark quietly, and when the Guangfu army passed by, they suddenly attacked the Houjin army.The Hou Jin army who were chasing did not expect an ambush. The sudden attack caused them to lose many people, and the Hou Jin army was temporarily repelled.

Seeing that the armed merchant group was covering them, and the remnants of the Guangfu Army finally stabilized their position, Li Xianmo was sent to Chen Qimei and Wang Yiting, panting.

Seeing the rather embarrassed Li Xianmo, Wang Yiting said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Didn't the thousands of recovery troops fight the Houjin army with only patrol battalions?"

"Our information is inaccurate. It is not just two patrol battalions defending Guanghai City Road and Bingbei Road Yamen. It seems that there are also Xinjun and Bannermen among them. The number is at least [-]." Li Xianmo said angrily: "Based on Our people can't beat them at all. At first they suffered a bit because they were caught off guard, but they turned around and wiped out more than half of us."

Chen Qimei frowned and said, "Where is Li Zhengwu?"

"Dead." Li Xianmo said angrily: "With our more than 3000 people of the Liberation Army, there are only a few hundred people left. I think the imperial court has long been prepared and waited for us to die. Among us There must be a traitor."

In fact, Li Xianmo really overestimated the imperial court and wronged his comrades. Because of the good secrecy work before, Guang Haidao didn't notice their army buildup at all.Perhaps Guanghaidao had no time to pay attention to these merchants, because a few days ago, Guanghai City received a secret telegram from the court, claiming that there was a change in Zhongchuan, and Zhao Shouhong was about to announce an uprising.

Because Guanghai City has a lot of Zhao Shouhong's property, and because Qin Zhongyi led people to threaten the White Eagle soldiers to rob Huo Yuanjia in front of the ring, Guanghai City knows that Guangming Group has a strong guard factory Team.Because he was afraid that Qin Zhongyi would launch a riot to occupy Guanghai City, Liu Yanyi of Guanghai City Road asked Liangjiang Governor Zhang Renjun for instructions, and sent two new troops from the surrounding areas, plus five thousand and eight banners to help defend Guanghai City.This matter was done very secretly, and the transfer was just completed today, so the Gongxinghui did not receive any news.

Unexpectedly, before the factory protection team under the Guangming Group took any action, Gongxinghui would make a big attack.Because the number of attacking opponents was small, Liu Yanyi ordered the Jin army to take the initiative to attack, intending to destroy the insurgent army in order to deter other revolutionaries.Even to frighten Qin Zhongyi, lest he act rashly.

The recovery army has become the chicken in Liu Yanyi's trick of killing chickens and scaring monkeys, which can be described as extremely sad.At this time, the Hou Jin army was dispatched in full force and surrounded the area. Facing the Hou Jin army with superior forces, Chen Qimei did not dare to beat him lightly.

"What should we do now?" At such a critical moment, Wang Yiting, Li Xianmo and others had no idea.

Chen Qimei looked at Hou Jinjun who was gradually approaching, and then at the two bank buildings looming in the darkness behind him, and he had some calculations in his heart. "Everyone divides up and retreats. I lead a small team to retreat while fighting, and lead the Houjin army to the bank building of the Guangming Group. Let the two of them fight to the death, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Good way." Everyone expressed their support one after another, and now no one said anything about revolutionary comrades.These people are very clear about the truth that a dead fellow does not die a poor one.

Wang Yiting, Li Xianmo and others led the brigade of the rebel army to disperse and retreat in other directions, while Chen Qimei led the remaining [-] death squads to launch a countercharge against the Jin army.Unprepared for the rebel army to launch a counter-charge, the offensive of the Jin army was slightly contained.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Qimei led the death squad while fighting and retreating, leading the Houjin army to retreat to the Huangpu River.

Zhou Jianping had heard the fierce battle in the direction of the bank building long ago, because he was afraid that the opponent would divert the tiger away from the mountain and mobilize troops to attack the factory area when he attacked, so he did not dare to dispatch the factory protection team for a long time.

After learning that the navy had arrived at the Huangpu River, Zhou Jianping knew that it was impossible for the enemy to attack across the river on a large scale.He personally brought two thousand factory protection teams, and used the small steamer that transported goods in the factory area to directly cross the Huangpu River to reinforce the bank building.

The [-] factory protection team had just crossed the Huangpu River when they heard dense gunfire from far and near. Zhou Jianping didn't know it.He immediately contacted Rao Guoliang and ordered people to bring a large number of sandbags used as bunkers from the bank, and piled up temporary barricades on the streets of Guanghai City.

The death squads who rushed to the front shouted and fired at the sandbags, but they were quickly shot dead by the factory guards waiting in full force.Seeing the Guangming Group's people advancing from the bank building to the street to set up a line of defense, Chen Qimei faintly felt something was wrong.Sure enough, the dense bullets quickly counterattacked, more violent than when they attacked the bank building before.

Chen Qimei was taken aback, he quickly rolled on the spot and hid far away on the side of the street.Seeing that the situation was urgent, Chen Qimei didn't care how many of her brothers were still alive, she dodged into the alley next to her, and fled without looking back.Those daredevils didn't know that their captain had fled long ago, and they charged the line of defense according to the original order. As a result, none of these brave revolutionaries survived.

The number of death squads was small, and they were quickly wiped out by the factory protection team, but the fierce battle between the two sides inevitably brought disaster to Chi Yu, and the Houjin Army who was chasing after them were also hit by stray bullets.Seeing bullets shot from behind the sandbag fortifications, the Hou Jin army thought that these were the revolutionaries who were sticking to the line of defense, and they rushed forward with shouts.

Taking advantage of the victory of the defeat of the recovery army, the morale of the Hou Jin army launched a group charge.They brandished their weapons and rushed forward recklessly, only to be met with fierce fire from the factory protection team.For the sake of confidentiality, the arsenals in Guanghai City did not produce mortars and grenade launchers, but this does not mean that the factory protection team has no heavy firepower. The small steamer that arrived soon brought five 76mm mountain guns.

The members of the factory protection team don't care about the shooting range scale anymore, because there is no artillery background among them.Relying on the low shooting range of the mountain cannon, they simply leveled the muzzle and directly used direct fire to attack the rear Jin army.

Chapter 4 and One: The Revolutionary Army Splits

There was a flash of fire from the muzzle of the five mountain cannons, and then a violent explosion came from the charging team. The soldiers of the Hou Jin Army were blown upside down, and their limbs and pieces of meat were scattered everywhere.

The Hou Jin army was beaten into a daze. They wanted to retreat, but under the intimidation of the Daotai guards and military police behind them, the Hou Jin army had to charge again.Relying on the large number of people, the Hou Jin army launched ten consecutive attacks, but was defeated by the factory guard team.The battlefield was full of gunpowder smoke and blood was everywhere, and the scattered corpses even affected the speed of the charge team, but the two sides were already red-eyed and didn't care about these things at all. They only knew about fighting desperately.

The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, but Zhou Jianping, the commander, was always awake. As early as the beginning of the battle, he realized that something was wrong.According to information, it was the revolutionary army led by the Gongxinghui that started to attack the factory area and the bank building, but at this time it was undoubtedly the Houjin army that was fighting with the factory guard team.

Zhou Jianping figured out the key point after thinking about it for a while. He guessed Chen Qimei's trick of blaming others, so at the beginning of the battle, he sent out the most elite pistol unit of the factory guard team and asked them to search the whole city. The traces of the Communist Rebel Army.

The situation was quickly confirmed. After leading the Houjin army to their own defense line, the remaining rebel army of the Gongxinghui had withdrawn from Guanghai City, and they marched towards Hangzhou and Nandu in two ways.It turned out that after Chen Qimei fled back, fierce conflicts broke out among the leaders of the revolutionary army.Both Shen Manyun and Wang Yiting accused Chen Qimei of undermining the unity of the revolutionary parties for self-interest, not only losing a large number of precious revolutionary fighters in the internal struggle, but also leading the Houjin army to allies.

Chen Qimei quarreled with the two of them because of this. He claimed that he was doing everything for the sake of mutual prosperity. As for fake revolutionaries like Zhao Shouhong, they should be firmly resisted.Chen Qimei had her own plan in mind. He hoped that the remnants of the Restoration Army and the Armed Merchant Group could unite, and wait until the Houjin Army and the Factory Protection Team had lost both sides, and then grandiosely occupy the entire Guanghai City, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the Longjiang River estuary .

But Wang Yiting and Shen Manyun didn't want to be with such a despicable person like him, so they decided to lead the armed business group to leave.Later, even Li Xianmo also expressed his support for Wang Yiting and his ideas, and asked Chen Qimei to make a written review and report the reasons for the failure of the uprising to the General Xinghui headquarters.

At this time, Chen Qimei's true rogue was fully revealed. He first quarreled with a few people, and then openly split, and left with more than 700 people who were loyal to him angrily.Seeing Chen Qimei blatantly splitting the revolutionary ranks, Wang Yiting was furious. According to his thinking, he should lead people to chase after him and eliminate Chen Qimei, a traitor.But Li Xianmo and Shen Manyun tried to persuade them with good words, claiming that they should not kill each other at this critical moment of the national revolution, so he gave up.

The three of them lost their target of action. As a result, they discussed it. Now that the imperial army is concentrating on besieging the three towns of Han and Xia, the defense of Nandu must be empty.If they can lead an army to attack Nandu, it should be able to relieve the pressure on Hanxia.In the end, the three of them unanimously decided that the remaining [-] people set out in a team and entered the Nandu.First seize the political center of the imperial court in the south to shake its rule in the south.

Chen Qimei thought differently from the three people who were dedicated to the revolution. It turned out that he thought that if he mastered Guanghai City, he would have enough money and food to recruit troops and occupy a place in the future republican government.But beyond his expectation, Zhao Shouhong had installed such a huge force quietly in Guanghai City, even having a navy.

Later, Chen Qimei hoped to rely on the trick of blaming others, so that Zhao Shouhong's men and the Qing court's army and horses would lose both sides in a fight, so that she could reap the benefits of the fisherman, but in the end, her side split at a critical moment.Now he only has less than 2000 guns left in his hands. Even if the two sides decide the winner, it will be difficult for him to fight against either side.

Chen Qimei is worthy of being a hero, he can afford to do things, and since it has become impossible to control Guanghai City, he decided to settle for the next best thing.As the residence of the governor of Ningjiang Province, Hangzhou is also a place of prosperity. The silkworm breeding industry there has always occupied half of the country in the southeast. Before the development of Guanghai City, the taxes there supported almost a quarter of the imperial court’s expenditure. If it is captured there, it is also enough to raise soldiers.
