Geng Volume Chapter 66 Mona

As it was getting dark, after several rounds of radio discussions, Major General Li Erhu added a string of foreign names to his key list. They were all big figures in Singapore, and some of them were British aristocrats. (On the night when the rebels launched the rebellion, these people were holding a cocktail party at the Raffles Hotel. The Raffles Hotel is located in the city, and the nobles did not doubt the gunshots outside, thinking that it was the firecrackers for the Chinese New Year, but in the end they were blocked in the hotel.

Raffles Hotel is the most famous hotel in the area. It is a majestic European three-story building with several secret rooms that can be used in private. According to normal judgment, when the rebels searched for Europeans everywhere, the only place they could go was the secret room. If these nobles could be rescued, the Governor Andrew would not be able to accuse the Zhongzhang team of the unauthorized actions.

After looking at the lieutenant assigned by Captain Zhu Tiansen, Li Erhu said with some disbelief, "Is the information given in the city accurate? I'm in the secret room for three days, so I'm afraid I'll starve to death?"

The reason why the lieutenant was assigned by Colonel Zhu Tiansen to help was because he was also an overseas Chinese, had studied in Singapore and was familiar with the local terrain. He could not confirm his inference on the telegram, so he had to say, "General, this is just a guess, but it is always worth a try. I don't know if you can..." The lieutenant looked at the soldiers of the 2nd Division with machetes hanging on his waist, and stopped saying it.

Apart from the logistics personnel, there are only more than 400 soldiers who can really fight, and they are divided into two factions. They are probably from two mountain tribes and are not convinced by each other. In addition, these soldiers' inappropriate equipment really make people wonder whether they are here to fight or hunt.

Li Erhu followed the gaze of the lieutenant, glanced at his bored soldiers and smiled: "These are all good soldiers selected from all Taiwan. No brigade of the 2nd Division is now unsatisfied because the standards for the selection are too high. Don't look down on them, be careful of your..." Li Erhu's hand stroked the lieutenant's neck. His smile became stronger, "... Be careful of your head."

Li Erhu's deep smile made the lieutenant's scalp numb. Taiwan's birth vassals were hunting for grass and hunting heads. As a Fujian native, he knew that these birth vassals had entered the Fuxing Army. He thought they had changed their old habits, but when he went down to the hangar, he felt that he had seen more than 400 wild beasts, and he didn't dare to look at these people.

The outfits of these soldiers were strange. Many of them were carriages or shotguns that were shorter than normal rifles, and a few of them were bows and arrows. Everyone was wearing a steel helmet, and in addition to grenades, there was a short machete hanging around their waists. The trousers were not straight trousers, but lantern trousers. The feet were not normal military boots, but rubber shoes. Even so, many people simply did not wear shoes and pinned their shoes on their belts barefoot. The only thing that could make people feel at ease about this army was actually mortars and machine guns. But obviously the people who were "fucking" them were not the feuds but the Han people, because they did not have that weird carving on their faces.

Li Erhu didn't know what outsiders thought of his soldiers, but as a veteran of the Revival Army, he believed that his subordinates were not inferior to the "eliminal" forces of the 1st Division of the Mountain Army, and were extremely suitable for fighting in tropical rainforests. This time he dared to come to Singapore because the Marine Corps often had urban street fighting for "sex" training, otherwise he would not dare to send these soldiers who had been trained to Singapore to die.

Li Erhu was proud of his subordinates. Zhu Tiansen on the bridge had seen Singapore's lighthouse and a small boat sent by Singapore's governor Andrew. The visitors could not see the expression on the ship, but the lights required the Shenwu to enter the port under the guidance of the small boat. In order to prevent the attack of the German attack ship, mines were arranged in many places in the harbor, and the rebel-controlled artillery was also a threat. The Shenwu's hull had nearly 20,000 tons. It was necessary to be led by a familiar water diversion officer to enter the port safely.

"Oh, God!" Governor John Andrew, who was standing on the Kademath gunboat, shouted. With the vague moonlight, he saw the giant being getting closer and closer, and asked inexplicably: "Has the Chinese repaired the Hiei?"

"No, Jazz. The one who came was the Royal Yacht called Shenwu. Its speed was said to reach thirty knots. People who have been there praised the luxury there. It is said that there is a short golf course on the deck and a tennis court on the ship." Auston, the captain of the Kaidmays, introduced that as soon as he saw the flat-top deck of the coming ship, he knew it was the Royal Cruise.

"Royal Yacht?" Governor Andrew finally remembered something in his mind. He remembered talking to people about this cruise ship before... Specifically, he had talked to Lord Henry about these warships in the Far East. Lord Henry believed that although the Shenwu of China was not a battleship, it was at least a cruiser, and at least he had six inches of cannons. [Almost all books I want to read are there, which are much more stable than ordinary stations, and the updates are faster. There are no advertisements in the full text.] Suddenly, Governor Andrew subconsciously looked at the dark Singapore City behind him, and silently said in his heart that God bless Lord Lord, it would be better to die.

"I need to see the commander of the China Team immediately..." Looking at the cruise ship getting closer and closer, the Governor's neck was tilted higher and higher. Just when he felt that he should go up by himself, the signal officer reported: "Sir, the Chinese Navy asks you to board the ship."

"Is that?" Governor Andrew was a little suspicious, but after a closer look, he saw the Shenwu was putting down the boat, and his hands couldn't help but tidy up the beard between his "lips". Half an hour later, Governor Andrew, the captain of the Kademays gunboat, and Major Curton of the Mainland Guard, boarded the Shenwu Royal Yacht together.

"Governor General, in order to prevent the rebels from killing more people, I suggest that the entire city should be launched tonight." In the living room of the Shenwu, Colonel Zhu Tiansen came forward to negotiate with the British.

"Oh, thank God." Governor Andrew answered the question irrelevantly. He had not eaten steak for several days. After Zhu Tiansen finished speaking for a while, he shrugged apologetically and said, "Mr. Colonel, I am very grateful to Your Majesty the Great Emperor for sending troops to Singapore so quickly, and I also appreciate your loyalty to Your Majesty the Great Emperor. However, the situation in Singapore is under my control. I have approved Major Curton's offensive plan for tomorrow in the afternoon, so..." Governor Anderson looked very apologetic. "...I hope that your ** team will command the offensive in the unified direction of Major Curton tomorrow. He is the highest commander of the mainland guards and is very familiar with the situation of the rebels in the city. We are almost going to take down Alexander's barracks today."

Even after taking the Shenwu roar, the British still wanted to command the unity. Colonel Zhu Tiansen and Major General Li Erhu, who were sitting beside him, looked at each other, and then he smiled and said ambiguously. "I am very happy to serve you." After that, he said: "In order to express the kindness of His Majesty the Great Emperor of our country, I have prepared a room with hot water for you and your two gentlemen. I hope..."

Even though Governor Andrew and others sprinkled perfume on their bodies before boarding the ship, the odor on their bodies was still vaguely smelled. Now, when he heard that he had arranged a room with hot water, he, Auston and Curton immediately became happy. He said thanks several times before he took them to the residence on the ship. Only Zhu Tiansen and Li Erhu were left in the living room.

"Malle Gobi, it seems that my people will be the first to die tomorrow." Li Erhu has been promoted to major general since he became a military rank. In order to maintain his image, there are few "Malle Gobi", but seeing those British people proud, I couldn't help but say another sentence at this time.

"All the overseas Chinese in the city have been notified. After you land, someone will naturally lead the way. As long as you rescue Lord Henry, these British people dare not say anything nonsense." Relying on the relationship between overseas Chinese, the Navy made the relationship between Andrew and Lord Henry clear, but some of the overseas Chinese even suspected that the rebellion was deliberately condoned by Andrew. Because Lord Henry had been investigating some time ago for his corruption in the expansion of the docks and seawalls, and it is said that he had obtained enough evidence.

"No matter so much, I will take people in at three o'clock." Major General Li Erhu's eyes burst into a "shot" and set the time for the attack.

Even in winter, the temperature in Singapore is over twenty degrees at night, and it is not cold at all. If there is no rebellion and war, this place will be an excellent winter holy place, but now the city is occupied by rebels, and the whole city is pitch black. It is hard to tell whether it is a man or a woman. The sound of soaring people from time to time floats over the entire city, strangely creeping.

Li Guangqian woke up automatically at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. As soon as two o'clock arrived, someone knocked on the door outside. When he responded in a low voice, the door opened. It was the military officer of the consulate who came in with a kerosene lamp.

"Are you asleep?" the military officer asked softly, and then said, "Are you ready? The time is coming soon."

"I. I'm all done." Li Guangqian's voice trembled, but he did not regret that he had promised to help the Fuxing Army lead the way during the day. And among all, he was the most familiar with Raffles Hotel, and only he knew that Lord Henry and others would hide in the secret room of the hotel.

"Don't be afraid, just lead the way, I will protect you." The military officer laughed rare and added, "I am older than you, just call me Brother Wang. When this matter comes, let's have a drink together."

The smile of the military officer made Li Guangqian feel a little warm. Although he only saw his smile just now, he didn't understand what he said. After the two left the room, they saw all the rich senators who were taking refuge in the consulate, and under the dim light, whether they were Fujianese or Guangdong, they were watching him and several other young men and military officers who went out to lead the way. The expectation in their eyes made Li Guangqian's heart ignite.

The consul Ouyang Geng, who was sitting in the middle, coughed a hoarse voice, then stood up, and came with Lin Wenqing, Song Wangxiang, Chen Ruojin, She Liancheng, Chen Jiageng and others, each carrying a bowl of wine. He said, "You are here to save the people and the country. I and the Shangshe are here to pay a bowl of wine. I just hope that Lacheng can restore peace and return safely."

The adults toasted in person. The military officer named Wang, who was in charge, took the drink without hesitation, and threw the bowl he had drunk with pleasure. Some people took the lead, and naturally some people as usual. After a few "clang" sounds of the porcelain bowl breaking, the large "gate" of the consulate that had not been opened for several days moved the debris that blocked the "door" and cracked a crack that could just pass through. Seven or eight people disappeared in groups of three or four, and in a short while.

Raffles Hotel is on Meizhi Road, and the place everyone wants to go is the Narcissus Gate. This is the earliest dock in Singapore and a place between the big and small slopes. The Fuxing Army chose to go ashore here, which means that the troops were divided into two groups: one company went to Dapo to eliminate the enemy, the other went to Xiaopo to save people, and the last company was the reserve team to deal with various emergencies. Major General Li Erhu didn't think about competing for Alexander Barracks, Normanton Barracks and other fortresses. What he wanted was to occupy the city and wait for the rebels to attack or escape. He believed that in the rainforest far away from the city, his subordinates could better solve these Indians.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier at night, and the people who were waiting could not see clearly the Indians patrolling under the wind lights not far away. Li Guangqian's passion just now was washed away by the rain. He held back and looked at the other young people who were walking with him, but saw the military officer in the leader's spirits and the others curled up on the ground like pickled vegetables in the rain.

Listening to the seabird's call, he was wondering if it was about to dawn, a few muffled groans and screams came from not far away, and then another seabird's call sounded softly. This seemed to be the agreed code. The military officer also made an indescribable sound of birds. Just as Li Guangqian was thinking about what the sound was, some dark shadows suddenly emerged from the rain, surrounding everyone.

"Talk...command..." The temperature seemed to be so cold that it made people shivered. Even the most cheerful military officer was a little stunned. The shadows appeared too suddenly. And with the appearance, a strong smell of blood floated in the raindrops and rushed into everyone's nose, which was disgusting.

"'Flower' shrimp (Huaxia)!" It seems that the person who came is not Chinese, with a weird accent, but the content is correct.

Seeing that he met the command, the military officer Wang Kai said to the shadows: "Where is your commander?"

"I'm here." Another voice came from a distance, where there were more black shadows, and the person who spoke was Major General Li Erhu. He walked quickly to Wang Kaisun and asked calmly: "Has the situation changed?"

"Sir, the situation has not changed." Wang Kai finally gotten normal at this time. Although he could not see Li Erhu clearly, he could feel a kind of power from this person.

"Then please lead the way." Li Erhu said. After saying that, he smiled again. "My soldiers are all mountain people. Don't be afraid after dawn. They are all Fuxing Army!"

"I understand, sir." Wang Kai didn't understand why the officers coming had such a "communication" generation, but he still agreed. After he finished speaking, he heard the other party's order. It was a short dialect, brief and powerful. In a short while, countless black shadows were divided into arrays and followed the leader to penetrate into the entire Singapore city silently.

Li Guangqian took dozens of people to the Raffles Hotel on Meizhi Road. The journey was the closest of all destinations, but the Raffles Hotel was an important stronghold for the rebels to occupy in the city. So there were constant checkpoints along the way. In a few minutes, the leading tall officer would make a slow gesture. After the vanguard in front cleared the sentry and the group of people walked forward quickly.

The delay along the way, when the rain gradually stopped and it was almost dawn, the team approached the alley of Raffles Hotel. Several soldiers had already climbed to the roof of the second floor with the help of their companions, and they planned to "touch" the roof from the roof. Other soldiers continued to move along the eaves. Sometimes they would jump into shops on the street, and then "worked" them all over, and emerged from several other shops.

The soldiers touched the closer and closer. When they reached the hotel gate less than twenty meters, the team on the top floor also climbed to the top floor of Raffles Hotel, but the attack did not begin. The tall officer of the leader turned his back to Li Guangqian and stared at the two posts below the hotel. There were more than twenty Indians there, and they seemed to have all risen. Faced with this arrangement, the officers were about to wait for them to give morning tribute. According to Muslim custom, the time for morning tribute was between dawn and sunrise. Praying and worship took a lot of effort. Once they put down their guns and faced the west prayers, the soldiers would take the opportunity to "touch" and bear them.

The officer bent over and waited patiently for a week in India. However, Li Guangqian saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, but he didn't know why the troops were not attacking. In a hurry, he looked at the back of the tall officer in front of him. This was a very burly man, who seemed to be more than six feet tall. Although he was so tall, his waist was extremely low. One hand held the Bai Langlin Quli pistol tightly, and the other hand grabbed a machete that was not showing black light. Because he had killed someone, the blood on the blade had not dried, and a beautiful demon "英" sounded between red and black.

Li Guangqian knew about the military equipment bayonet, but machetes were rare. Just as he turned around and looked at the other soldiers who were holding machetes, his body suddenly stiffened. Standing beside him, a soldier stood beside him, with two heads still dripping blood tied to his waist. It seemed that he had experienced great pain before his death. The facial expression of the head was extremely ferocious, his eyes were bulging strangely, and the blood from the broken neck was dripping on his upper.

With a scream of "Ah...", Li Guangqian quickly kicked his left foot up, and kept kicking his legs and trying to shake off the blood-stained shoes. It doesn't matter if he threw the shoes, but the sound of "Ah" was too loud, attracting all the Indian soldiers not far away.

The Indian was about to give a morning gift, but was alarmed by the leader in the team. The tall military officer standing in front of him immediately turned around and glared. However, his angry expression combined with the tattoo on his face scared Li Guangqian again. This was not a person at all, but a beast that could eat people.

Just when Li Guangqian wanted to scream again, the bloody storm suddenly broke out, and the red and black machete in the officer's hand suddenly stood between his neck. The sharp blade cut through the skin on the surface, and the pain made Li Guangqian calm down. The scream was finally endured by him, but it was too late. Several Indians had already walked over with guns and alertly, while the remaining Indian soldiers were on guard and there was no possibility of sneak attack.

Li Guangqian was extremely regretful. The leading officer made several gestures to the soldiers on the roof and behind him, and finally shouted softly, jumped out of the alley. The curved pistol shot angrily while charging forward with people. The gunshots were also heard. The gunshots at the roof of the building also sounded, and two Madson machine guns swept down the roof, making the Indian soldiers at the sentry post so that they could not lift their heads. The soldiers rushed out of the entrance of the alley shouted strangely, jumped, and rushed into the sentry post like wind. The machetes in their hands were as flexible as snakes, rising and falling a few times, and they killed them without waiting for the enemy to set up a hand-to-hand battle formation.

While the enemy at the door was dealt with, soldiers also rushed into the hotel. There was a constant sound of gunfire, explosions, and shouts... It seemed that after a while, and then several hours later, Li Guangqian, who was extremely regretful, was pounding his chest, and a soldier suddenly appeared in front of him. He said a few words, and the knife in his hand gestured, meaning that he would go to the hotel.

Once Li Guangqian understood what he meant, he nodded like a 'chicken' and ran to the hotel quickly. He didn't care about the blood all over the ground. As soon as he entered the hotel, he heard the British screams: "Oh, God... is the devil. is the devil... God..."

He sat and ran to the room where the British shouted, and said loudly in English: "Lord Henry, Lord Henry..."

In an open secret room, more than a dozen white men collapsed on the ground. Just now, these white men heard the shouts of killing outside and wanted to escape, but they did not want to be caught by the Marines. Like Li Guangqian, they were frightened by their face tattoos and the heads on the spot. In addition, they could not speak properly, and these white men thought they had met a devil.

When Li Guangqian, dressed in the costume of a 'servant' and spoke fluent English, appeared, the white people seemed to have found a savior. Looking at the nobles who were leaning over, Li Guangqian, who was afraid that the two would have misunderstandings, quickly said: "Gentlemen, you are safe. This is the Chinese Navy, they have occupied the entire Singapore."

"Oh, God! Do you think it's true?" Lord Henry looked disbelieving. He knew how many troops there were in Singapore. If he wanted to suppress the rebellion, he could only rely on the French or the Japanese farther away. How could the Chinese arrive earlier than the French?

"Yes, gentlemen." Li Guangqian suddenly felt a little proud. "The military badge on them can be used as a testimony."

Li Guangqian wanted to win the trust of the white people, but did not want to revive the navy to be the dragon and tiger beast. In the eyes of Westerners, this is also a monster-like thing. Seeing the dragon and tiger beast on these people's helmets, the noble master's body shook even more violently. Li Guangqian quickly explained: "Gentlemen, they are just some ethnic minority tribes on the Taiwan Mountains, not devils."

Hearing that the person standing in front of him was not the devil but some uncivilized barbarians. The first-class civilized people became confident again. Lord Henry coughed a few times and said decently: "Yes, thank you very much. But I would rather see their commander earlier, and we need some food and a 'private' space."

"I am their commander." Accompanied by the consulate staff, Major General Li Erhu rushed over. He patted the shoulder of the tall officer, who was afraid of the tall officer and said proudly: "Mona, it's a good thing!"
