The Republic of Heroes

Liu Licheng was stunned. Governor Liu received him a hundred dollars every year. Now that Li Shuangcai was replaced, wouldn't this mean crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?He saw more than a dozen soldiers in gray military uniforms behind Li Shuangcai, and an officer with a yellow collar badge, the same outfit as Brigadier Gao who came a few days ago. Without a trace, he squeezed out an extremely ugly smiling face at Li Shuangcai.

Li Shuangcai felt that it was not enough for people to support him, and he had to show his prestige, so he went up, swung his right hand and slapped Liu Licheng hard, and cursed: "The bandits have already beaten the door of the house, and they are still playing mahjong. This will be sent to the army." You have to practice military law and you have to be shot!"

Liu Licheng couldn't adapt to the sudden change of role for a while, and said angrily: "You..."

Li Shuangcai slapped again, "What are you? You said you were wronged?"

"..." Liu Licheng was afraid of being slapped in the face again, so he gasped for breath, but he didn't dare to speak any more. The lame Li next to him looked dumbfounded, and thought to himself: This river is too fast.

Li Shuangcai's trick of using Liu Li's prestige was really effective. The few people who were not very compliant were all honest, but only these 200 people gathered more than 100 people. Li Wuyi scolded his mother angrily. Such a team went to the battlefield. Damn it's for people to use as cannon fodder.

Wu Xiaoliang's heart was extremely heavy, he was the one who caused Du Ba's rash, and he was responsible for the situation getting out of control.If the city breaks down, the bandits will burn, kill and loot. I am afraid that more than half of this account will be credited to him, Wu Xiaoliang. He has already begun to regret his hasty actions. This is the case in Hunan, and it is the same in Suidong now. He lost the Fourth Mixed Brigade that he had set up, and this time he would never allow the tragedy to happen again, so he resolutely led the guard platoon into Dongning City.

The patrol battalion was so bad that it might not be qualified to be cannon fodder. Wu Xiaoliang ordered Li Shuangcai to lead all of them to guard the west gate, while he led the guard platoon to the east gate where the pressure was the greatest.The East Gate is guarded by a company originally stationed in Dongning County, with old equipment and outdated training. In the words of later generations, this is a second-line force that can maintain law and order, but it seems a bit powerless to deal with large groups of bandits.But this company is almost entirely composed of Dongning people, and behind them are the local folks and family members of the hometown, so they put in all their strength and finally blocked the first wave of attacks by the bandits.

When Wu Xiaoliang arrived, it was during the gap between the two attacks. Almost everyone in the garrison company was injured. It is conceivable that the battle just now was fierce, and he suddenly felt a pang of guilt.The company commander was very surprised by Wu Xiaoliang's arrival. In his impression, the army is overwhelming, and it is good if the guest army does not leave, let alone enter the besieged city on its own initiative. An army unlike any seen before.

Wu Xiaoliang picked up the binoculars to observe the enemy's situation. The bandits gathered more and more, and Du Baoyu seemed to have found reinforcements.Their weapons are outdated, but their morale is very high. No one knows how to operate a few infantry guns, so they are not enough to threaten them. However, the two mg08 water-cooled heavy machine guns are the deadliest weapons.

On the other hand, the weapons of the defending company are equally old, and they are basically old sleeves made in Hanyang.

Liu Mingqiu, the magistrate of the county, rushed here with hundreds of people panting. He went to the west gate first, but he didn't find Wu Xiaoliang, so he ran to the most dangerous east gate, and he really met him.

"Brigade Commander Wu, 500 people, a strong man..."

Halfway through the conversation, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and flowers suddenly exploded in the soil enclosure.Wu Xiaoliang quickly ordered everyone to lie down and hide.It should be that Du Balu's subordinates were using infantry artillery, but because they didn't know how to operate it, the landing point was irregular. Apart from causing a certain amount of panic to the crowd, it didn't cause half a person's casualties.

Wu Xiaoliang immediately commanded everyone to enter the fighting position. Since the five hundred young men did not have enough guns, each of them issued a machete and placed them behind the soldiers.

The bandits' morale was high, and they rushed close to Tuweizi. The young and strong were driven into the chaotic crowd before they were timid, and there were screams, blood and broken limbs flew everywhere, and a young and strong squatted on the ground frightened Wow wow, a bandit saw the opportunity, picked up a machete and slashed at the young man who was vomiting on the ground, but there was a gunshot, and the whole person fell limply.I saw the young and innocent looking up, not realizing that he had been swaying before the gate of hell just now.

This time, the deployment of the East Gate was extremely reasonable. The bandits who were used to fighting with the wind retreated again when they encountered resistance. However, Suidong’s military and civilian casualties were heavy. Power will be lost.

All of Wu Xiaoliang's deployments were to withstand the attack until half a day later, but it was so dark that there was no sign of the Suidong Army until the evening. Wu Xiaoliang had a bad feeling and knew that there must be an accident.The telegraph machine in the warehouse was robbed by the rebels, and Dongning City did not have such a thing, so Wang Huai ran around in a hurry.Wu Xiaoliang had already prepared for the worst, but he absolutely couldn't wait to die like this. He decided to convene an impromptu military meeting.

The company commander of the garrison and the patrol battalion Li Shuangcai were quickly found, and Liu Mingqiu followed him in soon after.

Wu Xiaoliang looked dignified, and said, "We can't wait to die like this, we should organize a counterattack."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this, and no one dared to answer, for fear of sending him to die, Li Shuangcai of the patrol battalion was a bit uneasy, he was picked up by Wu Xiaoliang, if he didn't support Brigadier Wu at this time, it would be too careless, so Bite the bullet and speak: "Brigade Commander Wu, what should we do? Just tell me. I, Li Shuangcai, don't even frown."

Wu Xiaoliang glanced at Li Shuangcai in surprise, and continued, "I'm going to attack Du Baoyu at night, but my Suidong Army is enough for the raiders, and you all just need to cooperate."

Liu Mingqiu heard that he was only cooperating, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer hesitated to speak: "If Brigadier Wu needs my cooperation, just tell me, just tell me."

Wang Huaishi couldn't get used to this slippery guy who gave him a hard look. If eyes could kill people, Governor Liu might have died seventeen or eight times in just a short while.

"Now the Suidong Army is short of bullets. I hope Governor Liu will supplement it. The bullets used by the guard platoon soldiers are similar to the bullets of the Mauser pistols, so Mauser pistol bullets are urgently needed."

"Mauser pistol?" Li Shuangcai scratched his head because he didn't know what a Mauser pistol was, but he didn't want to be asked by the crowd. It was too embarrassing. In fact, not only him, but many people working on it didn't know what a Mauser pistol was.

Wang Huaishi immediately added: "It's the box cannon, it's everywhere."
