Chapter 212
As the night grew deeper in Xiaozhushan
, the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army that had rested for a day was full of spirit.
Of course, this is also related to their upcoming robbery in Jiangdu County.
Moreover, without Hong Tianwu's supervision, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army walked briskly one by one, which was not at all the weak virtue on the previous march.
On the way, the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army passed by several villages, and if it had been changed before, these people would definitely go inside to scream at the common people.
However, there is the big fat meat of the county town in front of the temptation, and everyone is familiar with these villages.
Moreover, when the county seat is robbed, it will be time to rob the village again.
Not long after, the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army came to a fork in the road, leading to the looming county seat in the distance on the one hand, and the silent Jiangdu Pier on the other.
The river surface in the distance reflected the moonlight in the sky, and to Hong Tianwu's view, it was like a long band of slightly shimmering.
And the figure of the ironclad gunboat in Jiangdu County is faintly visible, and it is movingly docked near the pier.
At this time, Hong Tianwu called Grandma Li of 'Xian Gu Dao', Liu Datou of 'Zhensanshan', and Jin Xiong, 'Xiashan Tiger', and then pointed to the pier in the distance and said:
"According to the information that our people inquired about before, that ironclad gunboat docked at the pier every night, and only two sentries were on duty on the ship at night."
"You guys take advantage of this work and directly lead people to take down that gunboat!"
"I will take the rest of the people to attack the county seat."
"If your offensive is unfavorable over there, I will tie up the families of those sailors to help."
"After hitting the pier, all the contents belong to the three of you!"
Grandma Li, Liu Datou, and Jin Xiong immediately showed greedy eyes, the dock town in Jiangdu County is notoriously rich!
As for the gunboat, to be honest, if it stopped in the center of the river, everyone really couldn't take it.
But it's docked on the pier, which is much simpler!
The three of them all have a group of henchmen with sharp legs and feet, who dare to kill and rush, as long as they quietly approach and do not shoot, they will definitely be able to catch the gunboat by surprise.
At the same time, in this way, the cannons on the gunboats will not work!
Immediately, the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army divided into two ways and acted separately!
The team attacking the county town galloped all the way to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the county seat.
At this time, the sky has been slightly brightened, although people's vision is still blurry, but the appearance of the city wall and gate of Jiangdu County can be roughly seen.
Hong Tianwu ordered his men to stop advancing and wait in place, while he stood at the front, staring hard at the distant city gate, as if he wanted to see something.
Yesterday during the day, he sent a few more powerful subordinates to infiltrate the county, on the one hand, to report to the people who were ambushed in the county, and on the other hand, to enrich the strength.
Hong Tianwu took out his pocket watch and almost stuck it to his eyes, only then could he see the time clearly.
At 4:20,
it was only 10 minutes before the agreed siege time.
Although Hong Tianwu has also seen a lot of big scenes, he is still very nervous in his heart, he has put the old book on for this matter, if this fails, he will have no place to die!
As the time reached 4:26, there was a sudden burst of fierce gunfire in the county, which made Hong Tianwu's expression startled, and even the people with the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army changed their faces.
However, as the gunfire stopped, and the city gate slowly opened, I saw a figure holding a torch and rushing out of the city gate, swinging vigorously in the direction of the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army!
This is the code word that Hong Tianwu and his subordinates who infiltrated the city made an appointment in advance!
"It's done!"
Hong Tianwu looked at it, his whole body was like electricity, and the whole person straightened up, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit and strength.
At this moment, Jiangdu County lost the biggest barrier of the city wall, and this piece of fat was about to arrive, and his long-cherished wish for many years was finally realized at this moment!
"Jiangdu County!"
"I'm coming!"
Hong Tianwu could not hide the excitement in his heart, he jumped on a stone, raised his gun and shot three times into the sky, and then roared hoarsely:
"The gate of Jiangdu County has been taken down by us."
"A lot of foreign money and good things are kept in the city!"
"Kill into the city, those good things, all yours!"
"Brethren, rush me!"
"Rush!"
In an instant, the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army was like a powder keg that had been ignited with a fuse, and it burst out with unprecedented momentum.
Without the urging of the leaders, the people of the Jiangbei Joint Defense Army rushed to Jiangdu County, where the city gate was wide open!
Hong Tianwu was not in a hurry to run forward, let his subordinates rush up first to make meat shields, and then follow, this is his old habit.
Seeing that there were quite a few people in front of him, he followed with dozens of henchmen.
At this moment, the Jiangbei joint defense forces were like wild dogs that had lost their reins, and they seemed to be running forward with their lives, and only the two open city gates were in their eyes.
They did not notice that at a distance of about twenty or thirty meters from the city wall, there was a long belt obviously made of floating soil that had just been excavated.
With the sudden sound of military bugles on the city wall, this long belt of floating earth was suddenly lifted from the ground, accompanied by a burst of dust, and under that layer of floating soil were clearly thin wooden boards.
Covered by thin wooden planks was an extremely regular trench, and countless soldiers of independent regiments did not care about the dust flying in the sky, raised their guns and aimed at the rushing Jiangbei joint defense army.
Inside the trench, several soldiers of the Independent Regiment took matches from their pockets and set fire to several hemp ropes soaked in gasoline.
In an instant, the flames quickly spread outward along the hemp rope, and slender lines of fire spread on the ground, and then ignited piles of debris that seemed to be discarded messily.
In an instant, the fire illuminated the open space in front of the county seat, and the figure of the Jiangbei joint defense army rushing towards him was clearly visible.
The sudden change made everyone slow down, and their faces were full of confused and shocked complex expressions.
However, before they could think, tongues of fire suddenly lit up on the city wall, and five Maximin heavy machine guns were condescending, and under the light of the fire, bullets rained down.
Inside the trenches, rifles, pistols, and light machine guns fired at the same time, interspersed with grenades thrown one by one.
In an open space in the county town, the artillery platoon had already adjusted the angle of the mortar, and under the command of the observation post on the city wall, the soldiers of the artillery platoon loaded and fired their hands and feet, and one shell after another flew out of the breech, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, crossing the city wall, and accurately landing in the middle of the Jiangbei joint defense army.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of gunshots and explosions rose and fell one after another, and the Jiangbei joint defense army fell one after another like leeks facing a sickle.
For a time, the entire clearing was wailing continuously, and the blood mixed with the stump was swept into the sky by the wave of the explosion, and then fell heavily, and life seemed particularly fragile at this moment!
At this time, Hong Tianwu was even more stupid and knew that he was in ambush!
