Chapter 25: Winning Tianbao City at Night (Part 2)
Lin Tianding took the foreign money blankly, but didn't know what to say for a moment. He watched Wang Shihong walk down the western wall with his entourage. After a while, he saw the night fall down the bushes shaking. The sound of three clapping sounds came from below. Someone was whispering to the contact slogan: "Fuhan!"
Lin Tianding calmed down and put aside all his thoughts. He also replied to the wall: "Xinghua!"
The code met, and more than a hundred soldiers of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army who were cautious and quick to act appeared in three groups. Every slight noise made the hearts of the people present hang up. A rope was lowered on the wall, and the soldiers climbed up. The first one to come was the tall young officer with gauze wrapped in his left hand, which was Zhang Tao. He flipped up with Lin Tianding's hand. Neither of them shook hands and asked each other for good intentions. They both nervously urged them to hurry up!
The mountain wind became violent at this time, and the sound of forest waves covered up all the sounds here.
Perhaps the defenders from other places found the figures flashing here, and someone immediately asked loudly: "Officer Lin, what's wrong with you?" He shouted, and the lights in several places were lit up, and some people were scolding: "Damn it, Lin Tianding is backfiring!" The bolts were dripping, and the sound of Man Lixia's rifle slamming immediately. This alarmed the entire Tianbao City. Zhang Tao and Lin Tianding looked at each other. Zhang Tao pulled out two pistols: "I'm a revolutionary army! Brothers, go grab the machine gun with me!"
Lin Tianding gritted his teeth and directed the two machine guns to turn over, and the two machine guns immediately started to roar. Those were brothers who drank and gambling with him, but now he had no choice.
He Sui and the first battalion commander Tang Siling were waiting for the sound of the mountaintop. He heard the machine gun sounding. He immediately copied a rifle: "Battleman Tang, let's come on! Go and pick up that boy Zhang Tao!" Tang Siling pressed him down: "Commander, no matter how many orders you are, you don't allow you to go up!" He Sui said loudly: "Leave two brothers to watch the regiment commander, and the others follow me!"
The three companies immediately divided into three routes and rushed up the mountain as fast as possible.
At this time, the mountain was already full of fighting. Zhang Tao and his friends grabbed a machine gun and guarded the line of the Western Wall. Wang Shihong stood in the east, shouting loudly while commanding the team to rush up. The Jiang Fangjun also knew that Baocheng would be done if he didn't rob the Western Wall and rushed up in despair. However, the pieces were cut off by bullets. Now even the most loyal Jiang Fangjun soldiers knew that they would never be able to get back to the Western Wall without one or two hours. And these or two hours, I don't know how many Democratic Party would surge from this gap! Tian Baocheng is over!
The banquet at the Shanxia Allied Forces Command was slowly coming to the time of the collection. Xu Guqing and Hu Hanmin pulled several senior officers of the Zhejiang Army to talk about something with the intention of drinking. Lin Shuqing sat alone with a blue face, and no one dared to speak to him. Suddenly, Lin Shuqing stood up: "Listen! There was gunfire in the direction of Tianbao City! It was a whole lot of fireworks!" Everyone was shocked and saw Lin Shuqing kicking down his chair and rushing out. The officers in the room followed. The outside was full of soldiers, pointing to Tianbao City and shouting and jumping. The ballistics drawn by the bullets there were like fireworks on the top of the mountain. The light reflected that everyone's face was bright and dark. The sound was even more responsive to the valley in this quiet night.
Zhu Rui cursed: "I knew that Yuchen had no good news for leaving the seat early. This guy really went to attack Tianbao City by himself! Where is this coalition army?" His chief of staff, Lu Gongwang, was about to come to the telescope and stared at the top of the mountain: "The fire exchange is already inside Tianbao City. Damn, all the credit for attacking Nanjing was stolen by the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army! Our Zhejiang Army is in vain!"
Xu Guqing and Hu Hanmin stared at the sparks in Tianbao City, and then Lin Shuqing's excited face, shook their heads slightly. This time they came here to get back the leadership of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai coalition forces. The troops of the Tongmenghui in the two lakes had been disbanded, and Huang Xing both ran to Shanghai. In addition to having some basic force of the Tongmenghui in Jiangxi, the strongest one was the coalition. This time, with Xu Guqing's connections in the original No. 9 Town, Lin Shuqing's straight temper is easy to deal with, but he just met Yuchen! He was strong and cunning in his hands. Everyone knew that his origin was unknown, but no one could do anything to him! Chen Qimei was so smart and capable, with many ways. Not only was he robbed of the Shanghai Governor, but he was also given 3.9 million for free!
It seems that if you take over Tianbao City, Nanjing will be defeated, and Shanghai will be restored. He will be the first achievement in the southeast.
Yuchen is not a god. Although he can easily guess his opponent's next move with his familiarity with history. But at this time, he had no idea what the people in the coalition command were thinking. He just looked at Tianbao City attentively and kept holding the telescope.
Chen Shanhe was so anxious that he scratched his head by Yuchen. Wu Cai glared hard that he was honest and did not dare to move. These people were originally all equal-level officers. However, after Wu Cai became the chief of staff, his behavior became more and more steady. Apart from Yuchen, he was the best at suppressing the scene. Lei Fen was a literati. After standing in the mountain breeze in late autumn for so long, he was already so cold that he had a long flow of snot. Seeing that Yuchen did not move, he could only hold on.
There was another shout of killing sound on the mountain, and even the gunshot could not be covered. The whistle of the machine gun slowly became sparse. Yuchen let out a long sigh and slowly put down the telescope. He smiled at Lei Fen and said, "Brother Xintian, thank you for your hard work. If you don't take Tianbao City, you can't take the next step. Now I can really discuss with you. Tianbao City, we've taken it."
Lei Fen's face was blown away by the wind, and he forced a smile out: "The commander made up his mind and then moved, and easily took over the Tianbao City natural security. Brothers really admire him..."
Yuchen raised his hand to stop his words, and his face looked worried: "Don't say that, the Qing Dynasty is over, everyone knows this. Although the Jiang Defense Army has several powerful generals, people's hearts have already been moved. If you can fight so easily, brothers are benefiting from the changes of this era..."
He waved his hand again: "It's important to do what is now. Brother Xintian, let's go back and chat slowly, and there are still many things to arrange. After entering Nanjing City, my brothers' worries will really begin."
Several of his subordinates looked at their commander in confusion. He was not happy at all because of such a great contribution to the Tianbao City. He really didn't know what happened again. Lei Fen guessed the commander's thoughts slightly, but just smiled faintly in his heart.
Zhang Tao kicked the flag on Tianbao City that "protects the Qing Dynasty". The flagpole was inserted strongly, and it did not kick down. A soldier rolled it up, pulled the flag off, and slowly floated on Wang Shihong's body. He was half open, holding a commanding knife in his hand, and the bullets were all knocked to the holes.
The most famous general in the Jiang Defense Battalion insisted on escaping when the troops collapsed, and was finally beaten to death in the melee. The prisoners sitting all over the ground looked at their commander with complicated expressions. The soldiers of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army walked around Tianbao City happily, and no one cared about Wang Shihong's body. Lin Tianding quietly walked over, covered Wang Shihong's body with a flag, took out the foreign money and put it back on him. Zhang Tao and Tang Siling looked at all this without saying anything.
He heard a noise, and He Sui walked over with great strides: "Tang Siling, you guy, are so brave, dare to lock me up? If you didn't see you take down Tianbao City, I would have fought with you!"
Townsling is from Shandong and a big brother-level figure in Army Middle School. He climbed up step by step from the eyewitness. He had the best relationship with He Sui back then, and he didn't feel nervous when he saw him scolding. He laughed and greeted him: "This is what the commander told me. You have to settle the accounts and find the commander..."
He Sui snorted, and Tang Siling stood at attention: "Report to the regiment commander! The vocational department has successfully defeated Tianbao City, seized six 31 field cannons, eight Maxim machine guns, and other weapons are being counted. More than 400 people under the Jiang Guardian Army are capturing more than 400 people below. Please instruct!" He Sui pounded his shoulders, and the two laughed together. He walked side by side to Lin Tianding, who was still in a daze.
Townsling whispered to He Sui: "This is Lin Shouguan."
He Sui stepped forward and held his hand tightly: "Brother Lin, thank you this time! Otherwise, we would not know how many casualties or injuries will be caused by fighting Tianbaocheng! What are your plans next? Should we continue to work in the army? Or what? The commander has already explained that we will agree to all your requests."
Lin Tianding shook his head: "This Qing Dynasty country is about to be over. I'd better go home and be my commoner... I just asked to bury Commander Wang and erect a monument for him so that his family can pick up bones and return home in the future..." He said as he walked away slowly, and with a jingle, he threw the pistol in his hand on the ground.
