After Wang Shizhen gave the order, he sat in his command center and waited for the battle report ahead. The air kept coming densely. It seemed that the two regiments stationed in the arsenal had already had a fire with the spy who were hiding into the city!

I believe that all the spies who were confused will be wiped out soon! Wang Shizhen was secretly proud in his heart, and expected that Tang Jian would not guess that he would arrange two thousand elite soldiers in a small arsenal! Less than 300 people against more than 2,000 people, who will win and lose? He doesn’t even have to guess!

At this time, 10,000 elite soldiers rushed to the river defense position on the north bank. When all the spies in the city were destroyed, Wang Shizhen would personally lead other troops in the city to the riverside. Tang Jian's plan must not be successful!

Just when gunfire sounds in the city, the battle situation on the river defense positions outside the city was fierce. As time went by, the rain began to slowly weaken, and soon the gunfire sounds in the city gradually became sparse. (eng.com)

Wang Shizhen smiled slightly. He didn't expect that the spy sent by Tang Jian would be so vulnerable. In a short time, the internal level had been wiped out by his own defenders. He thought that these two or three hundred people would last for an hour. Who knew that even half an hour had just passed, and listening to the movement was almost over.

Just when Wang Shizhen was secretly proud, a messenger ran in in a panic: "Report... Report... General, Arsenal... Arsenal... Arsenal... In urgent need!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Wang Shizhen not react for a moment. Wang Shizhen swallowed and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say?"

The commander, who was already breathing, simply said: "General, the arsenal cannot be defended!"

This time, Wang Shizhen really heard it clearly. He quickly grabbed the collar of the messenger and asked, "What, the arsenal cannot be defended? How could it not be defended? There are two regiments I personally arranged there!"

The messenger said in horror: "General, I...I don't know either. I heard that there were many sharpshooters on the other side. The two regiment commanders were shot and killed by the enemy immediately. Their bullets seemed to have eyes. Most of the officers above the regiment level of the two regiments were killed or injured. Without the leadership of the commander, the two regiments began to be in chaos. Moreover, their firepower was very strong, just like everyone took a heavy machine gun. Once they looked up, they would be shot into a sieve immediately!"

Wang Shizhen threw down the commander's commander and thought about the information in the message just now. It seemed that this time he underestimated Tang Jian's strength! Wang Shizhen thought. Among the enemy spies who were infiltrated, there were not only sharpshooters, but the number of people was more than he thought. There must be more than two or three hundred, and at least thousands of people. Otherwise, the forces of the two regiments would not have been defeated so quickly!

The words of the messenger just now were obviously a bit exaggerated. How could everyone take a heavy machine gun? It can only be said that the spys who stole in the hands of more heavy machine guns! The Maxim machine gun is so big that it is impossible to be smuggled into the city so easily. There is only one reason: Tang Jian’s inner support in the city!

When Wang Shizhen thought of this, he felt cold all over his body. He could arrange so many heavy machine guns to enemy spies who had entered the city without knowing it. Then the rank of this internal force must be very high and enjoy great power in the army!

Just as Wang Shizhen was thinking about it, the adjutant who had gone to convey the order the moment before had already returned. As soon as the adjutant came back, he immediately stepped forward and said, "General, it's not good, the Jiang Defense Position is in urgent need!"

Hearing this, Wang Shizhen's face was already bloodless and he asked slowly: "What's wrong with the Jiang Defense Position?"

The adjutant said with a sad face: "The main force of the Beiyang Fleet is probably coming to our Jingzhou this time. The river is covered with warships, my god! The shells on the warship fell from the sky like raindrops, without any stopping in the middle. The defenders on the positions were all stunned by the continuous shelling. Many soldiers were blown to ashes before they could hide in the bunker!"

Didn’t it mean that the main force of the Beiyang Fleet is in Anqing? Why did you suddenly come to Jingzhou again? Wang Shizhen closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

After pondering for a while, Wang Shizhen finally had a corresponding plan and ordered: "Immediately order the 10,000 new troops on the left and right wings to take all the river defense positions for me. Never let the rebels from the south land ashore!"

The adjutant asked, "Why aren't there no soldiers on the left and right wings? If another southern rebel is inserted into it, then we will be passively beaten?"

Wang Shizhen shook her head and said, "Do as I said!"

The adjutant gritted his teeth and just obeyed Wang Shizhen's orders.

The reason why Wang Shizhen did this was to fight back. He thought that Tang Jian must have set up heavy troops in Anqing in order to give Duan Qirui the illusion of being in Anqing. Duan Qirui is not a fool, and Tang Jian's easy method could not deceive Duan Qirui.

The Southern Revolutionary Army was originally short of troops and had to guard such a long line of defense in the Yangtze River. The troops were already in short supply. At this time, when Tang Jian's actual main attack direction changed to Jingzhou, he would inevitably put all his troops on the river defense position. In other places, Tang Jian's current situation should not be able to provide so many troops!

Wang Shizhen guessed that if he didn't fight against the enemy, Tang Jian broke through the river defense position, landed ashore, and met the hundreds of people in the city, the consequences would be unimaginable and the entire army might be wiped out. Therefore, Wang Shizhen had no choice but to fight.

After all the heavy troops mobilized to garrison the Jiang defense positions, Wang Shizhen decided to lead his guard battalion and began to summon all the troops in the city. He did not believe that with the strength of nearly one division in the city, he could not eliminate the small number of enemy spies who were confused into the city!

He did it as soon as he said that, Wang Shizhen put his own gun on his waist, took his personal guards, and personally led the troops of three regiments toward the arsenal.

At this time, the battle was fierce in the direction of the Arsenal in the east of the city. Wang Jianchuan led two hundred lone wolf men to occupy the favorable terrain early in the night. However, what Wang Jianchuan did not expect was that there would actually be two regiments of troops stationed in the small arsenal.

However, this did not stop Wang Jianchuan and others from fierce attacks. Wang Jianchuan shot and killed a regiment commander of the defender, and other snipers also specially picked up officers to fight, which made the officers of the defender dare not show their heads because as soon as they showed up, their heads burst like watermelons. So it was only a matter of time before the lone wolf conquered this arsenal.

Now Wang Jianchuan’s only concern is that he must blow up the arsenal before the other reinforcements from the defenders arrived, otherwise he would not feel good if he had dumplings made by so many Beiyang New Army.

Wang Jianchuan immediately summoned He Shan and Ma Rushan and said, "Now the defenders of this arsenal are fighting stubbornly, but I'm not waiting for it. The other reinforcements will arrive soon, so we must fight and decide quickly!"

Ma Rushan and He Shan nodded and agreed.

Wang Jianchuan continued: "It's better to use the tactics of attacks as the commander said, the central government breaks through and encircle the two wings! Ma Rushan, you lead fifty people to attack from the left wing, He Shan, you lead fifty people to attack from the right wing, and I lead the remaining one hundred people to launch a general attack on the gate of the arsenal!"

The tactics were certain, and the three men immediately acted, and the three teams began to encircle in three directions in an orderly manner. The defenders in the arsenal seemed to see the lone wolf making tactical adjustments, and immediately fired violently at Wang Jianchuan. Bullets flew everywhere and firelights appeared.

Wang Jianchuan searched carefully through the telescope and found that under a corner, a deputy regiment-level officer was trying to re-direct the defeated troops.

Of course, Wang Jianchuan would not wait until he re-command the troops. When the deputy commander showed up again, Wang Jianchuan's awp instantly shot a bullet, and shot at the forehead of the deputy commander with a sharp whistling sound. The man didn't even chew, and then his unwilling eyes were limp on the muddy ground after the rain.

At this time, with a loud "boom", the city wall on the right wing of the arsenal was exploded. It was He Shan who led his men to destroy the defenders on the right wall, and then tied up more than a dozen grenades and easily exploded the wall made of bluestone.

At this time, the grenade in the hand of the lone wolf was improved by Tang Jian based on the original grenade. This melon-style grenade was invented by Tang Jian's "plagiarism" of later generations. When he attacked the Forbidden City at night, Tang Jian used it for the new Beiyang army. Now the grenade used by the lone wolf has been improved several times, and its size has been reduced, but its power has increased greatly. Throwing it into the crowd can blow a large area.

After the gap on the right wing was opened, He Shan, who had one arm, took the lead and rushed into the arsenal with a handful of m14 with one hand. Some of the newly emerging Beiyang soldiers were immediately shot into a sieve by the m14 in He Shan's hand.

The two regiments guarding the arsenal were stunned by Yang Xinjun's precise headhunting attacks by Lone Wolf. Now the last deputy commander who was trying to command was instantly shot and killed. The defender who had lost his backbone was immediately shaken.

At this time, another enemy suddenly blew up the wall and rushed in. The defenders in the arsenal were attacked from both sides. Some soldier shouted: "Escape quickly! The southern rebels are coming in!"

The shout spread rapidly in the air. Countless Beiyang New Army soldiers began to throw away the weapons in their hands and fled. They were defeated like mountains of defeat and surrendered one by one. The remaining Beiyang New Army soldiers also began to raise their hands and surrender obediently!

In this way, Wang Jianchuan used the lone wolf of two hundred people to take advantage of the night to protect the favorable terrain, and killed nearly 500 defenders in the arsenal in just half an hour, and captured another 1,500 people.

After capturing the defenders, Wang Jianchuan and others quickly replenished the ammunition, then confiscated all the defenders' weapons, and burned them together with all the arms in the arsenal. Finally, the prisoners were tied up and arranged in a courtyard.

At this time, a lonely wolf who was guarding the commanding heights said, "Captain, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived!"

Wang Jianchuan looked around and ordered: "Let the sniper occupy the advantageous sniper position immediately. Let us ambush a few officers first, and the others are ready to go and open the city gates immediately after the ambush! Welcome the commander into the city!"
