Chen Qimei became red-eyed and commanded the troops to charge repeatedly. The casualties reached [-]% in just one night. It is reasonable to say that such a large casualty would have collapsed the army long ago. But although these gangsters are not strong in combat, they are not afraid of death after fighting bloody What's more, Chen Qimei also organized a series of "supervisory teams", forcing the soldiers in front to fight their way out, screaming and rushing up one after another.

They rushed up, those with guns shot, those without guns threw explosives, Molotov cocktails, and lime packs, and rushed forward, holding big knives and spears to the heads of the soldiers of the Shanghai Army Corps, and desperately greeted them... and continued to attack for an hour. The news came that the position of the Shanghai Army Corps in the Manufacturing Bureau showed signs of shaking. Chen Qimei, who was overjoyed by the news, ordered decisively to invest the last two companies of fresh troops in his hands, and strive to launch several more charges to completely defeat the opponent.

"Captain, just look at it. If you don't win the manufacturing game, I'll see you first!" Seeing that the whole battle situation has turned to our side, Chief of Staff Huang Yu is also very happy, and mainly asks to lead the team for the final charge.After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qimei agreed to his request, and after admonishing him to pay attention to safety, Huang Yu, who led the order, happily went up with the most elite team of Yuan Jun.

"Report! Chief of Staff Huang has led a team to attack the front of the manufacturing bureau..."

"Report! Our army has broken through the opponent's first line of defense and is advancing towards the gate of the manufacturing bureau..."

"Report! The battle ahead is fierce. Chief of Staff Huang was shot in the left arm and will not retreat. Our army will not retreat and continue to attack..."

"Report! The enemy's last position is about to fail. Chief of Staff Huang sent someone to say that only half an hour is enough to win the manufacturing situation."

The continuous good news came one after another, and Chen Qimei, who had been tense all night, finally showed a smile on her face.This battle was much more difficult than it was during the [-] period. From last night until now, such a fierce battle and such huge casualties made him wonder if he had chosen the wrong target?Can you win the Manufacturing Bureau?But now, seeing that the final victory was about to belong to her, Chen Qimei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Yu's military strength was his last trump card, and this trump card did not disappoint him in the end. It seemed that everything was settled.

"Pass down the order of the governor! All regiments, battalions, and companies continue to attack, kill! Kill! Kill!" Swinging the knife forward and slashing in the air, amidst the whistling wind, Chen Qimei's shout was filled with incomparable excitement.

The desperate Yuan army rushed in like a tsunami and captured several positions one after another. The Shanghai Army Corps guarding the manufacturing bureau couldn't stop the wave after wave of enemy attacks even if they fired desperately.This night, the casualties of the Shanghai Army Corps were not small. Among the 460 seven people stationed, more than 300 people were killed, and almost all of the remaining [-] people were injured. The time will come, and seeing that the last line of defense is about to fall, the faces of the soldiers are all pale, as if they have seen the end of the day.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do? Quickly come up with an idea!" the deputy of the Shanghai Military Battalion with a gauze wrapped around his head asked anxiously at the gate of the Manufacturing Bureau, on the final position formed by the gate and the wall, and beside him was Now the supreme commander of the Garrison Manufacturing Bureau, Battalion Commander Zhou Xianqing.

Zhou Xianqing graduated from the Infantry Department of Baoding Military Academy and served in the Third Town of Beiyang. He was a fierce general under Cao Kun. Then from north to south, he went to the Shanghai Army Corps stationed in Shanghai as the battalion commander.In the entire Shanghai Army Corps, Zhou Xianqing's battalion is the main force stationed at the Manufacturing Bureau. Zhou Xianqing, who immediately reacted to the gunshots last night, immediately mobilized his troops to resist. The terrain and the excellent weapons in hand formed several lines of defense, which firmly withstood Chen Qimei's repeated attacks by Yuan Jun. It can be said that if Zhou Xianqing's quick response and tenacious resistance were not there, the manufacturing situation would have been lost long ago.

The battle lasted all night, and even Zhou Xianqing, a battle-hardened veteran, was honored by the tragic battle.At first, he simply looked down on Chen Qimei's gang of mobsters, but the cruel reality told him that the other party was not a vegetarian either.Today, several lines of defense have fallen, and if the gate is breached again, the situation will be over.Looking around, there are far fewer familiar subordinates around him, and even he is wounded everywhere. If his subordinates did not protect him desperately during the most intense battles, he might have died long ago.

"What should I do? Is it impossible to surrender?" With a wry smile, Zhou Xianqing knew very well that even if they surrendered now, they would not survive.This night, the two sides were blood-stained. There were not one thousand or eight hundred of Chen Qimei's troops who fell in front of his formation. Within a radius of two miles of the manufacturing bureau, blood had already stained the entire land.

Looking up at the already lit east, Zhou Xianqing gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Go! Pile up all the explosives in the manufacturing bureau for me, install the fuse, and light it for me once the gate is lost! Hmph, Chen Qimei Chen Qimei, want to create a situation? Dreaming! Today I want to let you know what it means to burn everything together!"

"Yes!" Without further ado, the battalion deputy brought a few people into the manufacturing bureau and hurriedly made arrangements.After the battalion deputy left, Zhou Xianqing fixed his eyes on the front of the formation, holding a fully loaded rifle, and saw that the opponent was charging again, aimed at the guy who rushed forward, pulled the trigger, and yelled loudly Said: "Brothers! Let these traitor bastards see how powerful we are! Hit! Give me a hard hit!"

Bullets whistled, flesh and blood flew across the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Yuan Jun went forward as if he was desperate, knocking down wave after wave. Zhou Xianqing couldn't support it when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted behind him: "Is the explosive installed yet?" ?”

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" the battalion deputy shouted anxiously from inside.

"Damn it! Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhou Xianqing urged anxiously. He knew in his heart that he would not be able to hold on this time. The gate was almost lost in these waves of charges. The people around him who could still stand up now With less than a hundred people, as long as there is another wave of charge, the manufacturing bureau will change hands.

"Battalion Commander, the explosives are loaded!"

"Okay! Hehe, it's time, it's time to be loyal to the country!" Zhou Xianqing wiped the blood from his face, squinted his eyes and lay down on the ground, watching the opponent charge again, he knew it was the last moment, As long as the opponent rushes to the front of the formation, he will die with the manufacturing bureau.

Slightly trembling hand struck a match, the rifle had been thrown aside, Zhou Xianqing suddenly calmed down, calmly watched the approaching enemy, quietly waiting for the last moment to come.Just when he wanted to serve the country with his own body and was about to die with his opponent, suddenly there was a violent gunshot from a distance, and the enemies who rushed halfway stopped suddenly, looking back in panic, not knowing what happened .

"This...reinforcement! This is the arrival of our reinforcements!" At the same time, Zhou Xianqing, who was also in a daze, was a little surprised, and immediately reacted.Throwing away the fuse and matches in his hand, he shouted excitedly.

"What? Reinforcements? Are reinforcements coming? We are saved! We are saved!"

The gunshots in the distance were getting closer and more intense, and all the defenders of the Manufacturing Bureau cheered.The arrival of the reinforcements cheered up these exhausted mourners, bursting out with their last strength.

"Brothers! The reinforcements have arrived, and the rebel party will be destroyed! Counterattack! Counterattack! Follow me!" Picking up a rifle, Zhou Xianqing jumped up and charged forward. All the soldiers who could move raised their guns and rushed towards the enemy screaming wildly.

The 31st Battalion of the Forward Battalion of Tao Deyao's [-]st Regiment finally arrived. Although it was only one and a half companies ahead, it was undoubtedly bad news for the exhausted Chen Qimei's corps.In the first day of contact, a volley of guns beat Chen Qimei and Yuan Jun's rear to the ground, and the sudden attack even confused the attacking team.

Yuan Jun, who was holding his last breath just now, lost his last confidence just like a punctured balloon.The rear was in chaos, and the attacking soldiers in the front retreated desperately after hearing the news. Even the supervising team killed a few people one after another, but they couldn't stop them. All of a sudden, the entire team collapsed. Soldiers throwing away their weapons and fleeing for their lives were everywhere on the battlefield. It is not an exaggeration to say that the army was defeated like a mountain.

"How could this be, how could this be..." Standing dumbfounded, Chen Qimei muttered to herself like a fool, and the saber she had been holding in her hand fell to the ground. defeat.

"Captain, go! Go!" The confidant guarded Chen Qimei and ran out. If it weren't for them, Chen Qimei would have been trampled to death by the fleeing defeated soldiers. Pulling up Chen Qimei, who was already like a walking corpse, they ignored the defeated team, Desperately flee to places where there are few people.

After finally escaping for hundreds of meters, they suddenly met a group of soldiers head-on. Just as they were terrified, there was a surprise shout from the opposite side, "Is it big brother? Big brother! Little brother Jiang Zhiqing!"

It turned out that this team was the former enemy commander-in-chief Jiang Zhiqing and deputy commander He Yingqin who had just escaped from the front line. There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding them, all bloodied and in a panic.

"Ruiyuan, Jingzhi... Ruiyuan, Jingzhi... lost, we lost... woo woo..." Looking at Jiang Zhiqing and the others with dull eyes, Chen Qimei burst into tears, tears and snot , heartbroken!Seeing that the success is about to be accomplished, who would have thought that the success would fall short, and this is the most painful thing in life.

"Brother, hurry up, take off your clothes, and go with me!" Seeing Chen Qimei crying non-stop, and still wearing a conspicuous military uniform, Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly helped him take off, and found a tattered casual clothes for him put on.Chen Qimei, who was already in a mess, was like a wooden man, letting Jiang Zhiqing toss about, and then was led hurriedly towards the foreign concession.

In the first battle of the Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Qimei's department was wiped out, and even Chief of Staff Huang Yu died in the rebellion.Taking off their military uniforms while fleeing, the dozen or so people who were in a state of embarrassment finally escaped into the French Concession after a few hours. Jiang Zhiqing, who was panting like a cow, heaved a sigh of relief after arriving in the concession.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

On the way to escape, Chen Qimei finally regained his composure after all hope was lost. Although his face was still ashen, at least he had regained his senses.

"Go to No. 14 Saposai Road. If you lose such a big defeat, you have to discuss it with Prime Minister Sun."

"Okay! Let's go!" Jiang Zhiqing nodded, identified the direction, and led everyone away in a hurry.

When they arrived at the place, to everyone's surprise, Sun Wen, who was supposed to be waiting for news, disappeared, not only that, but also Dai Jitao, secretary to the Revolutionary Party Prime Minister.

"Where are people? Where are Premier Sun and others?" Jiang Zhiqing, who was sweating profusely, grabbed the youth gang members who stayed here and asked anxiously.

"Sun...Mr. Sun is gone."

"Gone? When? Where did you go?"

"In the morning, I left shortly after dawn. I said that Shanghai was going to be handled by Dudu Chen. For the sake of the overall situation of the revolution, he wanted to go back to Japan immediately to organize forces, call overseas comrades, and crusade against Yuan Shikai. He didn't dare to do too much for other small things. Ask!" The left-behind staff said with a bitter face.

Is it just dawn?Isn't this when the opponent's reinforcements just arrived?Whether it was Chen Qimei, Jiang Zhiqing, or He Yingqin, they immediately understood that what kind of organizational force they wanted to attack Yuan Shikai, they just saw that the situation was not going well and left them to run away.

"Deliberate...kill the thief! Powerless...Go back to God! Hate! I hate it so much!" Chen Qimei stood there for a while, then suddenly raised her head to the sky and yelled, vomited blood and fell into Jiang Zhiqing's arms.
