Chapter 174 Seriously Injured

Although the number of civilians attacking Guangren Road was more than that of Pingzi Camp, the weapons, equipment and training quality were relatively poor. The two sides were in a stalemate at the intersection. Not long after, Shengzi Camp rushed to support from the side and launched a raid on the flank of the civilian army. The civilians suffered heavy casualties and were unable to retreat for a distance from the intersection of Guangren Road.

Shengzi Camp pursued for a while, trying to capture all the civilian troops in one go. But no one knew that Guan Renfu led his troops to suddenly kill a retaliation. The two sides exchanged fierce fire at the door of a hotel. Shengzi Camp also took advantage of the moment of courage. After the two sides were in a stalemate, they did not dare to continue chasing. Not long after, Shengzi Camp withdrew from Guangren Road and met with Pingzi Camp. The civilian troops finally had a room for breath.

It is already 1:40 now. Except for the first target of the revolutionary party, almost none of the remaining ones were completed on time. If they were to calculate according to the plan, they should have hit the gate of the general's mansion at this time. But obviously, planning is always the most ideal. When starting to execute the plan, you will find that things are too different from what you expected.

On the other hand, Mo Qingyu's army has cleared the Kuizi Camp in the building.

Chen Shengkui jumped off the roof of the building at the last moment and fell to death on the spot. This was also considered a brave general among the official army.

Most of the soldiers of Kuizi Bang were injured and killed in the uprising army assault, and the rest of them threw down their guns and raised their hands to surrender. However, the surrender process was not smooth, because the uprising army was killed and saw the old soldiers coming out with their hands, and they still fired their guns. As soon as the uprising army fired, the old soldiers who were preparing to surrender behind did not dare to surrender, and the two sides continued to exchange fire.

It took more than half an hour to calm the gunfire on Yuehua Road.

The old soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of them killed, half seriously injured, and half slightly injured, and half slightly injured. The entire battalion was basically abandoned. In addition to the front-on-front troops, the casualties were relatively serious, and the assault troops were still smooth.

Mo Qingyu left a team of people to guard the prisoners, settle the wounded, and took the remaining troops straight to the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The second route is to go directly to the middle of Guangren Road through Yuehua Road. There is no need to fight with Pingziying and Shengziying at the intersection. You can go down the road to the Governor's Mansion. When Mo Qingyu's troops appeared on Guangren Road, Pingziying and Shengziying had actually discovered them, and they also heard gunshots at the intersection. However, no one fired a gun between the two sides.

Mo Qingyu observed the intersection more than a thousand meters away, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and couldn't help but curse: "What are the revolutionary army doing? Didn't they let them attack the general's mansion? The enemy at the intersection has not been cleared yet!"

An adjutant came forward and asked, "Sir, why don't you send a group of people to support them?"

Mo Qingyu sighed and said in confusion: "In the battle just now, our ammunition was consumed a lot, and there was no news in Xinjiao. If we still had to divide our troops to support the revolutionary party, we were afraid that the firepower would be weaker."

The new army camp did not have much arms reserved, and fierce battles had occurred before. Now, on average, each rebel soldier still had ten bullets, which would be great. Ten bullets may not be consumed very quickly when charging, but once a tough battle is launched or the enemy and us are in a stalemate, the bullet will be quickly lost.

The adjutant shook his head helplessly and said nothing.

Mo Qingyu thought for a while and ordered: "Send cavalry to Xinjiao to contact me, why can't the arms supply be delivered?"

The adjutant nodded, but asked again: "What...what should I do with the revolutionary party?"

Mo Qingyu said bluntly without hesitation: "They are in a state of confrontation with this group of enemies now, so let them continue to waste. Let's go to the Governor's Mansion first. If it goes well, the Governor's Mansion should be able to find some arms supply. Then we will turn around and attack the General's Mansion!"

So, the rebel army ignored the old military defense line at the intersection, and continued to go south toward the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The old army at the intersection of Guangren Road breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they were already feeling the pressure. Soldiers with a little brain knew that the new army had revolted, and which army could stop the new army? For these old army, it was a matter of time before the leader was watching, they would have taken the opportunity to escape.

Now that the new army is not coming to the strongholds at the intersection, it greatly reduces the pressure here, and at least it can hold on for a while.

Mo Qingyu's troops had just arrived on the street in front of the Governor's Mansion and immediately met the Governor's Mansion Guard.

The Governor's Office Guard and the direct artillery team have been waiting for a long time. Facing the rebel army that had just experienced fierce battles along the way, they naturally seemed calm and composed. In addition, the Governor's Office is equipped with heavy weapons. As soon as the rebel army appeared, Maxim's heavy machine gun started firing wildly.

The soldiers of the rebel army who rushed in the front immediately fell down, and the people behind quickly looked for cover to hide.

Under the suppression of heavy machine guns, the attack of the rebel soldiers seemed very difficult, and several charges were curbed.

Mo Qingyu was very anxious. He knew that he could not afford to waste his bullets, morale, and physical strength. He was always trying to use his will. He decided to use the same trick again and sent an assault team to detour and attack on the side. But this time it was not light, because the Governor's Office guards blocked almost all intersections. As soon as the commando touched the flank, they hit another heavy machine gun.

The situation suddenly became worse, but the Governor's office had few soldiers and the mobility of heavy weapons was also very weak, so it was impossible to turn the defense into an offensive. Although there were many people on the second target, they lacked bullets and heavy weapons. In addition, they also suffered a lot of losses in the previous battles, and the offensive situation greatly shrank.

Mo Qingyu had no choice but to order the attack to stop and wait for other revolutionary troops in the city to come and support.

At the same time, the cavalry who had previously sent to ask about the attack on Xinjiao Arsenal returned, and they brought bad news to Mo Qingyu: the Third Battalion of the Second Counter was intercepted by five gunboats of Guangdong Navy on the north bank of Yuejiang, and the old army guarding the Arsenal fought bravely, and the Third Battalion was in a situation where it could not advance or retreat.

When Mo Qingyu heard the news, he threw the horse whip to the ground and cursed: "Punch your mother, what the hell is this? What the hell is this? Do you want me to take my brothers up and fight with heavy machine guns? What about other revolutionary troops in the city? No one comes to support me?"

Although he knew that Guan Renfu and Huang Mingtang might still be in a stalemate with the fire battalion on Guangren Road, where is Li Fulin, who is known as the main force of the Revolutionary Army? It has been two hours, but his troops have not even seen a single figure! Putting aside these, the soldiers of the First Biao Uprising have not arrived yet. When they run from the western suburbs to the city, they are afraid that it will be dark.

"Is it like this that the people of the Tongmenghui revolutionized?" Mo Qingyu couldn't help but say angrily.

The officials on the side stopped talking, and they couldn't think of any solution now.

There are cannons and heavy machine guns in the Governor's Office, and they also occupy a favorable position. Even if the second standard wants to launch a hard attack, it does not even have the most basic conditions. You can't really go up and fight with heavy machine guns, right?

Suddenly, a cannon sounded from a distance, and a shell screamed from the air, and suddenly exploded in front of the gate of the private house temporarily occupied by the commander's office. The guards at the door were immediately overturned to the ground. After the rolling smoke passed, they stopped moving. The attendant of the commander's office rushed towards Mo Qingyu and covered Mo Qingyu.

After a while, Mo Qingyu and others stood up one after another. Everyone was covered with dust, and some people who were closer to the gate were scratched by shell fragments and were lying on the ground in pain. Mo Qingyu looked at his subordinates' miserable appearance, and was both angry and unwilling to give up. This uprising was really ridiculous and laughable, and he actually fell into such a situation.

On the Governor's Office, Yuan Shuxun and others had not had time to retreat to the Guangdong Navy's warship.

A few minutes ago, they received a call from the Guangdong Navy, and were told that more than 30 warships of all sizes appeared on the sea of ​​Guangdong, without flags and no communication. They were suspected to be pirates in Changzhou, and were firing at the navy base at a long distance. Although both sides were at a distance outside the range and the shells did not hurt the base at a tiny, the demonstrations of the enemy warships had already shown hostility.

Navy Admiral Li Zhun dared not draw the main fleet away from the port, for fear that the opposite warship would attack the base. He had also tried to take the initiative to attack these warships, but as soon as the navy troops left the port, these hostile warships retreated immediately. When the navy troops retreated, the other side also came back again. This was clearly leading the Guangdong Navy to assist the war in Guangzhou!

Li Jun had no choice but to draw some torpedo boats and small gunboats to the Inner Bay for reinforcements.

Although the Guangdong Navy could not withdraw, fortunately, the Governor's Office was in a stalemate with the rebels, and even took a slight advantage depending on the situation. Therefore, Yuan Shuxun and others were still in the Governor's Office, waiting for the situation to turn around. Although waiting seemed to be a bit opportunistic, they had no other way now.

Two hours ago, the Governor's Office sent an emergency telegram to the surrounding areas of Guangzhou, and half an hour ago, it expanded the scope of the emergency telegram to neighboring provinces. We stationed defense troops in Foshan, Zhaoqing, Dongguan and Xin'an, and there was a green camp of 3,000 people in Shaoguan. If you are lucky, you can reach the next day.
