Chapter 128 Leading troops to intercept reinforcements
In an instant, the attack outside the consulate suddenly changed.
The special forces of the Jiandao Battalion hidden on both sides of the consulate took aim and fired, quickly suppressing the soldiers hiding inside the consulate. At the same time, hundreds of soldiers rushed into the consulate and began a breakthrough.
The one hundred guards of Ali Kingdom have limited ammunition, and there are not many left.
The onslaught began and the fragile defense immediately collapsed.
Aliguo looked at the men in black rushing towards him, and his body couldn't help but start to tremble, but he still said: "The firing has been going on for some time. The one thousand soldiers stationed in the concession must have received the news and should be here soon. Hold on.
, everyone, hang on. As long as we hold on for a while, we can all survive."
Aitang sighed: "I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore."
Aliguo said loudly: "It's a matter of life and death. We can only fight to the end. Evacuate all of them into the consulate and deal with the men in black who come in." Waves of men in black rushed in. Aliguo and Aitang
Withdrew the soldiers into the consulate.
Lu Shaochuan became even more excited as he watched the soldiers rush into the consulate.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier ran over quickly.
The soldier stood next to Li Zhen and said loudly: "Commander, the British troops five miles away from the British Consulate have moved. A thousand people are coming towards the consulate. Please give me instructions, Commander."
Li Zhen ordered in a deep voice: "According to the original plan, let Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai block the enemy and delay it for a quarter of an hour."
"yes!"
The soldier clasped his fists in response and left quickly.
Li Zhen ordered: "Shaochuan, you only have a quarter of an hour now. I'll give you ten minutes to take down the consulate. Regardless of life or death, Aliguo and Aitang want to see people alive and see corpses after death." A quarter of an hour is fifteen.
Minutes, now Li Zhen gave Lu Shaochuan ten minutes in order to have enough time to withdraw.
Lu Shaochuan said: "Don't worry, Commander, it will be completed."
After a pause, Lu Shaochuan looked at Zhu Wu and said, "Old Zhu, it's time for us to go on stage. Let's go in together." Lu Shaochuan joined the charging team with a gun and rushed in directly.
Zhu Wu followed behind, charging with his gun.
The battle at the consulate continued, but three miles away from the consulate, I remembered the sound of intensive gunfire.
Three miles away, rows of sandbags were piled on the road here.
Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai were among them. They hid under the sandbags, pointed their guns in the distance, and fired at the foreigners rushing in front. A soldier came to Huang Shihai and whispered Li Zhen's order.
Huang Shihai nodded in agreement and said: "Zhenhai, the commander asked us to delay for a quarter of an hour."
Qi Zhenhai said: "Captain, there is no point in delaying time. The main thing is to annihilate the enemy."
Huang Shihai looked at the approaching British soldiers and suddenly shouted: "People on both sides, shoot."
"Bang! Bang!!"
In an instant, soldiers hiding on both sides of the street opened fire.
The street is about five meters wide, which is quite spacious. But no matter what the street is, it is still an alleyway. There is a firefight in the long alleyway. Once one of the parties occupies the commanding heights on both sides of the street, it will have the greatest advantage. Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai got the order early.
, preparations began after dark, and rows of sandbags were arranged on the street to block the enemy.
There were soldiers hiding on both sides of the street, and they opened fire from the commanding heights, enough to kill the British troops quickly.
There were many British soldiers, and after a chaotic rush, they had already approached the sandbags.
Huang Shihai saw this and ordered: "Retreat three rows!"
Sandbags are piled in rows on the street, with the distance between the three rows about five meters.
After retreating five meters, Huang Shihai asked his soldiers to shoot again and continued to block the charging British soldiers. Even though the British soldiers rushed to the sandbags, Huang Shihai had already withdrawn with the soldiers, and the accumulated sandbags remained in place and blocked them.
It prevented the British soldiers from advancing, making all British soldiers targets and being shot mercilessly by bullets.
The British lieutenant colonel leading the army looked at the people firing in front and found that they were all wearing black clothes and could not distinguish them clearly.
The lieutenant colonel organized several charges, killing and injuring hundreds of people, but advanced no less than twenty meters.
This speed of advance was far from enough. Looking at the dead and injured soldiers, the lieutenant colonel suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately." In the blink of an eye, the British troops retreated like a tide.
Huang Shihai laughed and said: "You son of a bitch foreigner, you are neither interested in nor useful." After a pause, Huang Shihai said: "Zhenhai, let's go immediately to support the commander-in-chief and take down the consulate."
Qi Zhenhai said: "Commander, the British army's initiative to retreat must have a purpose."
Huang Shihai frowned slightly and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi Zhenhai said: "I think the British army retreated deliberately to paralyze us. Once we retreat and the British army comes again, they will easily bypass the sandbag defenses and engage in direct firefights with us.
, all the defenses we have set up and the firepower hidden on both sides of the street will be ineffective. I think we cannot retreat, at least not until the commander sends news."
When Huang Shihai heard this, he thought it made sense and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huang Shihai asked the soldiers to hide under sandbags and prepare for the attack.
About three minutes later, a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps suddenly came from ahead.
Huang Shihai hid under the sandbag, popped his head up, looked through the sandbag, and found that the retreating British troops were killing him again. Seeing this, Huang Shihai admired Qi Zhenhai a little. This young man had some ability. Huang Shihai raised his gun and took aim.
He caught the charging British soldiers and shouted: "Shoot, hit me hard."
"Bang! Bang!!"
Suddenly, gunfire broke out, and there were sounds on both sides of the street and under the sandbags.
Bullets were flying randomly, causing the British troops to retreat continuously.
The lieutenant colonel frowned, already feeling embarrassed. He had deliberately retreated just to paralyze the opponent, but he didn't expect that the victor had not yet withdrawn. Seeing that he could not confuse the opponent, the lieutenant colonel ordered a charge to fight the troops blocking the way.
knock.
The two sides exchanged fire, and the British casualty rate was very high.
Soon, more than 600 people were killed or injured.
When the lieutenant colonel saw that 70% of the 1,000 soldiers had been killed or injured, he could no longer hold on and ordered to withdraw.
Huang Shihai asked: "Zhenhai, do you think the evacuation is real this time, or is it a fake evacuation?"
Qi Zhenhai smiled and said: "Captain, this time we really evacuated. The British came with thousands of soldiers, but they were beaten to pieces. It was difficult to fire again. If he comes again, there will be no defenses."
We can destroy him. All the soldiers on the street can be taken away, and the people ambush on both sides can stay behind just in case. Let's go and support the commander."
Huang Shihai nodded and ordered to evacuate.
Inside the consulate, the battle has entered its final stage.
There were less than 20 of the more than 100 guards under Aliguo's command, and they were all out of bullets. They could only use the guns in their hands as desperate weapons. Lu Shaochuan and Zhu Wu rushed into the consulate and surrounded Aliguo and Aitang.
