Chapter 102 One Night in Beijing (Part 2)

The Chinese Palace has been bombed beyond recognition.

The Second Special Battalion of the Imperial Guards of the Chinese Palace and the First Defense Division of the National Defense Forces were in the east, and the Inner Guards of the Palace Under the Zhongnanhai Security Department guarded the riverbank on three sides. The Second Special Battalion of the Marine Corps served as a reserve force. The Defense Forces on the opposite side tried to pass through the bridge several times, including smuggling by rubber boats, and they went ashore several times, but they all failed under fierce attacks. The annoyed and embarrassed National Defense Forces had repeatedly bombarded the Chinese Palace with dense artillery fire. Although only 75 mm mountain artillery and 80 mm mortars, the ground buildings of the Chinese Palace were beyond recognition. The European courtyard was broken, the Chinese gardens ignited, and the former magnificent palace garden became Shura hell. Although the defense system of the Chinese Palace was complete, the unexpected defenders still suffered heavy losses under the fierce artillery fire of the National Defense Forces.

The wounded and the children had already hid in the basement, the female had organized to serve as rescue work, and was busy everywhere wearing masks. The male staff were all concentrated in the underground conference room to work, the palace's arsenal had been opened, brand new rifles, machine guns and even mortars were distributed, and there was an arsenal next to the conference room, and boxes of bullets, howitzers were neatly coded.

"Their general attack is about to begin!" In the conference room, Liu Tao, the director of the Security Department of the Chinese Palace, had regained his style of charging into battle in the 18894-1895 and said calmly, "It will take an hour for the Imperial Guard troops to come! Now we are attacked from all sides, with nearly half of the casualties. We are beaten by at least thirty rapid-fire cannons in this narrow area. The situation is really unfavorable!"

"I have completed the reorganization of the troops, and it is about four companies, one company in the west and the east, one platoon on both sides, and the rest of the troops are reserves!" He gestured on the map, "Fortunately, many people in the palace have carried guns in the troops and added a lot of them. If the Second Marine Special Battalion is still there..."

"There are ten minutes left." Yang Yongtai looked at his watch, "Now we can only wait. As long as they can take down the enemy's artillery positions and occupy a few strongholds behind the enemy, our situation will change!"

"This is a dangerous situation." Xu Shuzheng, deputy battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the Chinese Palace, spoke, "This kind of night battle is another street battle, which will cut the enemy's troops through and through, especially the sharp-knife troops of the Second Battalion of the Marine Corps. Even if the opponent is an ace like the Iron First Division, he may be in a mess!"

On a broken wall in the distance, Nie Xianfan looked at the sea of ​​fire through the eight-fold telescope, his face turned pale. He put down the telescope and made a gesture. The veterans of the military police force behind him quietly passed through the street corner.

To the east of the Zhonghua Palace, the position of the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the National Defense Forces.

Although the First Division's First Regiment and One Battalion were anyway, the First Division's starting unit, Mu Tie's confidants, were not shaken under the control of powerful officers.

At this moment, in a six-story gray residential building that was urgently requisitioned, the company commander of the Ninth Company Lin Dawei, with a blue face, his pistol was pressed against the forehead of a non-commissioned officer: "Zhang Zongchang! You are a veteran, how can you do such a thing? Do you know that a strong woman must implement battlefield discipline!"

Zhang Zongchang looked at Lin Dawei with an expressionless face, and suddenly grinned: "Even brothers, brothers, are they working hard for Mourinho, and they are about to die, but they can't be happy? Such a beautiful city girl, brothers dream of seeing each other. I, Zhang Zongchang, have been visiting the kiln, and how many brothers are still a child, and they are going to die here in vain! They are about to die, but they can't be fucked?"

Zhang Zongchang said, glanced at the two girls beside him who were pale, curled up in a ball, wrapped in military tops but still trembling, and let out a harsh laugh: "It's worth it! It's worth it! I have a charisma with my brothers and I'm about to die together. Today I will debauchery the two girls in the city. It's worth it no matter how you die!"

Lin Dawei gritted his teeth and slowly opened the insurance: "You are fucking shaken the morale of the army! Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

He was really a little fucked with the veteran non-commissioned officers in this row. This man was a small bandit in Northeast China in the year of Sino-Japanese War. He was snot in the middle of winter. As a result, he met the marshal by chance and called him father, and he was not a son. The marshal asked his name and origin, but he didn't know what he thought. He actually chatted with him with a long time with a smile, which made him laugh. Finally, he sent him into Lu Xiao and summoned him several times. However, although this man had extraordinary military skills, his military discipline was really different, especially when he was easy to visit brothels, the motions for promotion and recommendation to enter Lu Zhong were suppressed.

This person is an important part of the Chinese Emperor's team. Sergeant. Sergeant is a middle-level non-commissioned officer, responsible for the training of platoon-level units, common affairs and gun maintenance. This position is aimed at the graduates of the Army elementary school or outstanding elements emerging among soldiers, and has completed the training of non-commissioned officers. For these people, their culture is generally limited. If they do not go to the Mainland University in the future, they will not be able to enter the ranks of officers, and they can only reach the first-class sergeant chief. These non-commissioned officers, as bridges and links between soldiers and officers, have become the basic force of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire, responsible for daily training and other military affairs, while officers are only responsible for formulating plans and combat commands.

Although the company platoon leader has the foundation of Lu Zhong and usually served in the army for a few years, his military experience is not as good as that of veteran non-commissioned officers, Zhang Zongchang actually became a leader of a row, which gave Lin Dawei a headache but helpless.

If the general attack was not imminent, such a veteran would have to take the lead in charge. With the opponent's background, Lin Dawei would have shot this ill-fated thing.

"Shake the morale of the army?" Zhang Zongchang looked at him with a narrow eye and stood up slowly, "I fucked the morale of the army? Look at the leaflets all over the ground! Look outside! There are battlefields everywhere! How many times have we rushed? They called Mourinho everywhere to assassinate the emperor, and our Iron First Division is a rebel! It is said above that the Imperial Guards, Gendarmerie, Mobile Police, and Marines have all been put into suppressing the rebellion, and even the regiment headquarters and battalion of our First Regiment have been rebelled!"

"I, Zhang Zongchang, walked the lower road, and Mourinho led me into the army and entered the Luzhong. I just recognized one, and I would hit anyone who Mourinho asked me to hit me! Since I followed Mourinho, I, Zhang Zongchang, went all the way to the dark!" Zhang Zongchang said coldly, "But what about brothers? They were so young that they were so naughty to death?"

Lin Dawei looked at the soldiers next to him, with many indifferent faces and no shameful expressions. He even secretly looked at the two women and sighed in his heart. Because of preparing for the expansion of the A]Po Army, the Iron First Division drew a large number of backbones to the newly expanded division to strengthen its strength, and itself supplemented the wartime organization, and there were too many mobilized soldiers and new recruits in each unit. Now, the problem finally emerged.

Many people are peasants who have only been to the early three years of age. They have almost never left the country since childhood. They do not understand the responsibilities entrusted to the soldiers by the times, and do not understand how noble and great everything they do is. They have a profound significance for this country and nation! National iron-bloodedism, the most advanced idea, was secretly circulated among the young and strong officers of the Iron Guard Army when the emperor was there, and they did not dare to blatantly carry out large-scale publicity, which led to a gap in the understanding between soldiers and officers.

The enemy was indeed extremely cunning and actually dropped flyers to shake the morale of the army! These mobilized soldiers and rural soldiers had never seen these! Originally, these soldiers who had never seen the cruel wars, and they were fighting against the symbol of imperial power, and the extremely tragic casualties, and now they were in propaganda wars again, so I am afraid that their hearts would have been shaken! If they were dealt with severely at this time...

Lin Dawei shook his head: "Zhang Zongchang, you are wrong. We are loyal to the country and the nation. In order to realize the great ideal of national iron-bloodedism, we acted at the moment when the country was in danger! We are a national army for the country and the people! Your Majesty, it is definitely not killed by Mourinho! But even if it is really what Mourinho did, it is not a problem in my opinion. We are the country's force, not the emperor's si army!"

"National iron-bloodedism, I don't know much about this and that. I know that the officials are right. Why are the officials and chaebols and squires in their daily lives? We Qiu Ba's heads tied to the belt and worked hard, and only a few dozen yuan of Huayuan's salary?" Zhang Zongchang sneered, "But now I have seen through it. Mourinho has come to power. This official is still an official, a soldier or a soldier! We don't let the big robbers, and don't let the family members of corrupt officials and chaebols, and we are still big soldiers? I Zhang Zongchang admits it, but what about these brothers? They are fighting against the brothers in their own country's robes. I don't know why they died after they die. I have rushed so many times before, and many brothers have disappeared so unknown! Now I'm afraid the general attack is going to be the general attack. I see that the machine guns of the supervisor team are all set up! At this moment, the brothers are not allowed to start eating before they die?"

Lin Dawei's angry face was pale and he shouted: "You soldier! The glory of the Iron First Division is ruined in your hands! I..."

Zhang Zongchang closed his eyes, gestured at his sun with his fingers, and said contemptuously: "Come on, come here, blink your eyebrows, the person named Zhang is not a man..."

Several soldiers quickly went up and grabbed Lin Dawei, holding his legs and holding hands. Lin Dawei was actually forced to get out of the way by Zhang Zongchang's style of hobs. In fact, he is not a fool. How could he know that now is not the time to start? But...

Suddenly, there were continuous explosions coming from behind, and even the floor shaking under his feet. Lin Dawei was shocked and shouted: "Architecture Position! Oops!"

Before he could react, several consecutive explosions suddenly came from not far away from his feet. He was full of energy and hurried to the window. He saw several human bodies facing each other in a faint fire. Someone was commanding the wounded from a commander to carry the wounded. A machine gun had been set up!

"It's the gendarmerie's calf!" Lin Dawei held the telescope and roared angrily.

"Brother Zhang, you are so amazing!" A second-class private smacked his tongue, "How do you know that the enemy will come in from that road?"

At this moment, a dense rain of bullets suddenly shot out from the bungalow next to him, and two rows of grenades were thrown out, and a violent explosion was bursting. The telescope was filled with explosive smoke and flying limbs.

"Beautiful job!" Lin Dawei waved his fist, "Xiao Ding did a good job!"

"This is not the platoon leader's idea." said the Second Class. "It was Brother Zhang's suggestion. He buried the mines there and ambushed the troops."

Lin Dawei was stunned and stood there for a long time.

After a while, Lin Dawei put down the telescope in his hand and turned his head to look at Zhang Zongchang seriously.

Zhang Zongchang looked at him with a slight mockery.

"It's really good." Lin Dawei suddenly smiled, "Zhang Zongchang, it seems that the Marshal has not read the wrong person. You are indeed a war-capable person."

Zhang Zongchang's god sè became solemn: "The situation is a bit unfavorable now. Although the enemies here are dark and can't see clearly, I estimate that there are at least half a battalion, the enemies on the other side of the artillery position, the enemies here, and the ones in the opposite China Palace, our situation is unfavorable."

Lin Dawei asked solemnly: "What do you think you should do?"

"The plan to attack the Chinese Palace must be revised. We must first eliminate the enemy teams that infiltrated the rear." At this moment, Zhang Zongchang was like a different person, without the scoundrel expression just now. "Leave a small amount of troops to cover up, and the main force immediately turned into the artillery position and eliminated them while the enemy has not yet established a firm foothold! Our troops worked together from several directions, and they were inevitably distracted from temporary organization of defense!"

"I will report to the battalion commander immediately, you can gather the troops and leave three rows here, and you all follow me!" Lin Dawei looked at the map, nodded, and shouted loudly: "Sentenceman!"

Seven or eight minutes later, a unit was quietly shuttled through the alley under the cover of night. A second-class private ran to Zhang Zongchang and asked softly: "Brother Zhang, let's not fight against the Zhonghua Palace?"

"Fuck!" Zhang Zongchang cursed in a low voice, "Your mind is confused? Seeing that the situation has changed, we have to leave a way out for ourselves! Why do we do when we shoot in? Waiting to go back and get shot from the military police? I, Old Zhang, can't give my life back to Mourinho, but I can't bear to leave you brothers! We have been attacked from three sides here, and we are dead! Let's move to the east, and we can move closer to the General Staff and retreat..."

Private nodded in admiration.

"Tell them, and everything will be read to my instructions." Zhang Zongchang reminded, "Don't worry, my surname is Zhang, will not take my brothers into the ditch!"

Nie Xianfan felt regretful when he looked at the wounded soldiers and corpses he had snatched back.

Unexpectedly, these national defense forces that advocate saving the country and the people would hide their firepower in their homes, but they would actually lay landmines on a large scale in the residential areas, or extremely hidden thunders! This is simply crazy!

After a short fire exchange, the pioneer company he led lost more than 40 people, and the morale of the troops was also greatly damaged. He gritted his teeth and turned around and shouted sternly: "Leave the Ninth Company's alert, assemble the team, I want to speak!"

Three minutes later, the team lined up in a square array, with bayonets all on the rifles, solemn and sad. There were more than ten corpses in front of the array, and the first seriously injured were performing bleeding in the emergency rescue center.

Nie Xianfan walked in the front of the team with a pistol in his hand. Flashes of fire shone on his face, which was smoked by gunpowder, with an especially ferocious expression.

"I'm sorry brothers!"

Nie Xianfan pointed his pistol at his sunxue. When the deputy battalion commander Fu Ying looked at it, he hurried to seize the gun. Nie Xianfan acted to shoot, so he had to stamp his feet and say, "Weicheng, don't do anything random!"

Nie Xianfan said coldly: "I am not inappropriate in command, and I should pay my life to my brothers! But now the country is on the front line of survival, I want to keep this life for the time being and take my brothers to eliminate these traitors! Now that the brothers want me to die, I have no words. Today, I, Nie Xianfan, will kill myself! If the brothers agree to keep my life for the time being, we are brothers of life and death! Tonight I will rush to the front of you and take you to fight these traitors hard and avenge the dead and injured brothers!"

The soldiers' faces were red and their mouths were all over the place.

"Battery Commander, this is not your fault!"

"Who knew that these turtlemen were burying landmines in the residential area during the dark day!"

"These boys are dissatisfied and have no assholes for giving birth to a son!"

...

Nie Xianfan looked at these veterans and did not forget to joke at this time, trying every means to relieve his pressure, and his heart was warm. Strictly speaking, he had never been on the battlefield. Although he wanted to go to the Northern Front Army to fight horse bandits a few times in the past few years, or go to the Northwest Front Army to fight Uyghur rebels, the Ministry of National Defense kept suppressing his father, Marquis Nie Shicheng, and only allowed him to be promoted smoothly in the military police, which made him feel angry.

A while ago, Commander Cen Chunxuan arranged him to the prince as a liaison officer. He knew that it was also a chance to rise to the top. Although he was happy and diligent in his work, he still couldn't help feeling a little depressed. However, it was a blessing in disguise. Instead, he became the backbone force for the prince to launch a rebellion. Naturally, he was so excited that he wanted to show his strength.

Before, he protected Cen Chunxuan in disguise and brought the first battalion of the First Battalion of the National Defense Forces and some officers and soldiers of the Second Marine Battalion who were disguised as the National Defense Forces. Unexpectedly, he controlled the military police headquarters and restored his control over the military police. He volunteered to select a reliable battalion to return to the Chinese Palace to support him. He wanted to touch the enemy's starting position at night to launch a raid, but he did not expect that these people were very smart, ruthless and ruthless, and actually buried landmines in the residential area in advance and set up firepower ambush circles!

Nie Xianfan's frustration and suspicion about him had reached its peak, but in the face of these veterans who still trusted him, he gradually regained his confidence. Previously, he and Fu Ying had already had a plan. He originally thought that the troops would distrust him and were preparing to convince the troops with their actions. Unexpectedly, it seemed that there was no need for this now!

He said calmly, "Brothers! Thank you for your trust! I just discussed with the Chief of Staff that the artillery position behind the enemy had just exploded. Now the gunfire is dense. I believe that the enemy's artillery position has been led by our friendly forces! These turtles have lost artillery support and are being attacked from the front and back. I think they must have taken advantage of the fact that the troops behind are not yet stable and are ready to encircle and annihilate! We are now slanted, and we can just come back and take revenge on their side, and can also help friendly forces stabilize their positions!"

The soldiers in the audience were all excited, but they just said, "Battery Commander, please give orders."

"We obey the orders, you don't need to explain so much!"

"Those little bastards from the Iron First Division are all the time, and they have long disliked them!"

Nie Xianfan nodded fiercely: "Okay! Then I order to expand the formation of No. 3, I will lead the front team, the 7th company, the chief of staff, the rear team, the eighth company, the ninth company, and leave a platoon to restrain the enemy here, and set off!"

Qiao Bin, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Division of the National Defense Forces, looked at Lin Dawei with satisfaction: "Xiaolin, the movement is quite fast! Not bad!"

Lin Dawei looked at Zhang Zongchang beside him a little embarrassedly. Seeing that the man looked indifferent, he still said seriously: "Battery Commander, this is all thanks to Sergeant Zhang's advice! He is a veteran who can fight, and he is also led by the army!"

Qiao Bin looked at Zhang Zongchang in surprise. He naturally knew that this famous Mourinho "godson" was, but before, he only knew that this man was very eccentric, with loose military disciplines and a famous hob meat that was not eaten soft and hard. Unexpectedly, he felt a little impressed today.

He nodded: "It's true that he is a hero. Okay, let's discuss it together."

The three company commanders looked at each other and squatted intently, looking at the simple map of the four corners of the ground being pressed by stones and zipped out of the pen.

"Judged from the firepower, the enemy may be a reinforced battalion to two battalions, destroying our artillery positions. We have now adjusted our deployment, and have arranged about two companies in the east and west directions, and concentrated the main attack forces of four companies on the south side. About five minutes later, the No. 2 artillery position in the north will launch a firepower attack, about five minutes, and after a interval of thirty seconds, another three minutes will be bombarded, and then we will charge and solve it in one go."

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

Zhang Zongchang was silent for a while, as if he was listening to something, and suddenly said, "I think there is something wrong with our situation."

Qiao Bin frowned: "What does it mean?"

"Before we withdrew from the position, we were attacked by a gendarmerie unit, about half a battalion to about one battalion. They suffered a loss just now. According to time, the reorganization of the second attack should have been done. Now, listening to the gunfire, the force should be lower than one platoon..." Zhang Zongchang was suddenly shocked, "It's broken! I'm afraid they have already reached our side!"

As if he was annotating his words, a volcanic gunfire and explosion suddenly erupted from the back of their side. Several people looked at each other, and their faces changed!

The entire army's situation is an attack configuration, and only a few temporary firepower points were spread out from behind! If an enemy battalion came over, the army would immediately be severely damaged!

Qiao Bin pulled out his pistol and was about to give an order, but suddenly he heard an unknown sound.

He looked up in shock. Before he could see clearly, countless explosions sounded on his side, and the figures of these officers could no longer be seen between the flames and smoke!

After a long time, Zhang Zongchang arched his body, shook his half of his body and some broken limbs, shook his big head, looked up, and saw that the red and white slurry splashed everywhere in half of his head. Even though he was killing people without blinking, he couldn't help but vomit violently!

I don't know how long it took, but he raised his head and was stunned to find that four huge monsters were parked in the air like ghosts in the dark night. He was full of confusion and thought to himself, what was going on in this battle? How could this army fight in the sky? How can it be so soulless in the future?

In the gray residential building not far away, General Deng Tiehui, the Marine Corps Director, put down his telescope and nodded with satisfaction: "Send a light signal to inform the airship troops that the attacks on the enemy artillery positions in the No. 6 area must be strengthened..."

"Director, the temporary bunker is ready!"
To be continued...
