Chen Qimei became red-eyed and commanded the troops to charge repeatedly. In just one night, the casualties reached 30%. It stands to reason that the general army would have collapsed with such heavy casualties. However, although these gang members were not strong in combat effectiveness, they were brave and fearless after fighting bloody battles.

, what's more, Chen Qimei also organized a company of "supervision teams", forcing the soldiers in the front to risk their lives and charge upward one after another, screaming.

They rushed forward, those who had guns used them to shoot, and those who didn't threw away their weapons, Molotov cocktails, and lime bags. They rushed forward, carrying machetes and spears, and tried their best to hit the heads of the Shanghai Legion soldiers... and continued the fierce attack for an hour.

News came from the front that the Shanghai Army's position in the Manufacturing Bureau was showing signs of shaking. Chen Qimei, who was overjoyed when he heard this, decisively ordered to invest the last two companies of his troops, striving to launch several more charges to completely defeat the opponent.

"Commander, just look at it, if you don't win the manufacturing bureau, I will show you my head!" Seeing that the entire battle situation was leaning towards his own side, Chief of Staff Huang Yong was also overjoyed, and mainly asked to lead the team for the final charge. After a moment,

After thinking about it, Chen Qimei agreed to his request. After telling him to pay attention to his safety, Huang Yan, who took the order, happily led the most elite team to challenge Yuan Jun and went up.

"Report! Chief of Staff Huang has led his team to attack the forefront of the Manufacturing Bureau's position..."

"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 cannot retreat. Our army will not retreat and continue to attack..."

"Report! The enemy's last position can no longer support it. Chief of Staff Huang sent someone to say that half an hour is enough to win the manufacturing bureau."

Good news came one after another, and Chen Qimei, who had been nervous all night, finally showed a smile on her face. This battle was much more difficult than during the Xinhai period. From last night to now, it has been such a brutal battle.

Such huge casualties made him even wonder if he had chosen the wrong target? Could he win the production round? But now, seeing that the final victory was about to belong to him, Chen Qimei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The troops in Huang Yan's hands were

His last trump card, this trump card did not let him down in the end, it seemed that everything was settled.

"This is the order from the Commander-in-Chief! All regiments, battalions, and companies continue to attack fiercely, kill! Kill! Kill!" She swung her sword forward and slashed in the air. Amidst the whistling wind, Chen Qimei's shout was filled with incomparable excitement.

The desperate army to defeat Yuan came like a mountain and a tsunami, and captured several positions one after another. The Shanghai Army Corps guarding the manufacturing bureau was unable to stop the waves of enemy attacks by firing desperately. That night, the Shanghai Army Corps suffered heavy casualties.

, more than 100 of the 467 people stationed there have been killed, and almost all of the remaining 300 or so people are injured. There is no way out, there is a strong enemy in front, and reinforcements do not know when they will arrive.

The last line of defense was about to fall, and the soldiers all looked pale, as if they had seen the end coming.

"Battal Commander, what should we do? Come up with an idea quickly!" At the gate of the manufacturing bureau, in the final position consisting of the gate and the wall, the deputy of the Shanghai Army Battalion with gauze wrapped around his head asked anxiously, and beside him was

The current top commander of the Garrison Manufacturing Bureau is 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. After the Beijing Revolution, Cao Kun specially transferred him from the Third Town to the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion in order to protect Zhou Xianqing and other close friends.

Then he went from north to south to serve as the battalion commander of the Shanghai Army Corps stationed in Shanghai. Among the entire Shanghai Army Corps, Zhou Xianqing's battalion was the main force of the Garrison Manufacturing Bureau. When gunshots were heard last night, Zhou Xianqing reacted immediately and immediately summoned his troops to resist, while also gathering together

A group of Shanghai soldiers retreated to the manufacturing bureau. Relying on the terrain outside the manufacturing bureau and the sophisticated weapons at hand, they formed several lines of defense and withstood Chen Qimei's repeated attacks by Yuan's army. It can be said that if Zhou Xianqing hadn't reacted quickly,

With strong resistance, the manufacturing bureau may have been lost long ago.

The battle lasted all night, and even Zhou Xianqing, a veteran of the battlefield, was moved by the tragic fighting situation. At first, he simply looked down on Chen Qimei's gang, but the cruel reality told him that the other party was not a vegetarian. Now.

, several lines of defense have been lost. If the gate is broken through again, the situation will be over. Looking around, there are many fewer familiar subordinates around him. Even he is injured everywhere. If it weren't for his subordinates in the fiercest battles,

If he had tried his best to protect him, he would have died long ago.

"What to do? Can't we surrender?" Zhou Xianqing smiled bitterly. He knew very well that even if he surrendered now, they and the others would not survive. The two sides had been furious that night. Chen Qimei's men who fell in front of his formation had not only a thousand but also eight hundred.

, within a two-mile radius of the manufacturing bureau, blood has stained the entire land red.

Looking up at the already lit east, Zhou Xianqing gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Go! Pile all the weapons in the manufacturing bureau for me, install the fuse, and light it for me once the gate is lost! Hum, Chen Qimei

Ah, Chen Qimei, you want to create a situation? Dream on! Today I want to know what it means for you to die together!"

"Yes!" Without saying a word, the battalion deputy led a few people into the manufacturing bureau and made arrangements hastily. After the battalion deputy left, Zhou Xianqing stared closely at the front of the formation, holding a rifle that was already loaded with bullets.

Seeing another wave of charges coming from the other side, he aimed at the guy who was charging forward, pulled the trigger, and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Let these rebel bastards see how powerful we are! Beat! Beat me hard!"

ah!"

Bullets roared, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Yuan Jun rushed forward as if he was desperate for his life, knocking down one wave after another. Seeing this, Zhou Xianqing couldn't hold on anymore, and rushed behind him and shouted: "The gun is ready."

No?"

"It's quick! It's quick!" the battalion deputy shouted hurriedly from inside.

"Damn it! Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhou Xianqing urged anxiously. He knew in his heart that he would not be able to withstand it this time. The gate was almost lost after these waves of attacks. There were only people around him who could still stand up.

With less than a hundred people, as long as there is another wave of charges, the manufacturing situation will change hands.

"Battal Commander, you're ready!"

"Okay! Haha, it's time, it's time to be loyal to the country!" Zhou Xianqing wiped the blood on his face, lay on the position with half-squinted eyes, and watched the other party charge again. He knew that it was the last moment.

As long as the opponent rushes to the front of the formation, he will die together with the opponent.

With a slightly trembling hand, he lit the match and threw the rifle aside. Zhou Xianqing suddenly calmed down and calmly looked at the approaching enemy, quietly waiting for the last moment to come. Just when he was determined to serve the country with his life, he wanted to

When they were dying together with their opponents, suddenly there was a burst of fierce gunshots in the distance. The enemies who had rushed halfway stopped suddenly and looked back in panic, not knowing what happened.

"This...reinforcements! This is our reinforcements arriving!" Zhou Xianqing, who was also stunned for a moment, reacted immediately. He threw away the fuse and matches in his hands and shouted excitedly.

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

The gunshots in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the defenders of the manufacturing bureau were all cheering. The arrival of reinforcements suddenly inspired these exhausted mourning soldiers, and burst out their final strength.

"Brothers! The reinforcements have arrived. The rebels will be destroyed! Counterattack! Counterattack! Follow me and counterattack!" Picking up a rifle, Zhou Xianqing suddenly jumped up and launched a counterattack. Following his footsteps, as long as he could still walk on the position

All the soldiers who could move picked up their guns, roared and rushed towards the enemy.

The first unit of the forward battalion of Tao Deyao's 31st Regiment finally arrived. Although only one and a half companies arrived first, it was undoubtedly bad news for Chen Qimei's troops who had been exhausted. As soon as they made contact, a volley of gunshots took Chen Qimei to the rear of Yuan's army.

They were beaten to a pulp, and the sudden attack even confused the attacking team.

The army that was fighting against Yuan, who had been holding its last breath just now, was like a balloon being popped. It suddenly lost its last confidence. The rear was in chaos. The soldiers attacking in the front retreated desperately after hearing the news. Even the supervising team killed several people one after another.

No one could stop them. Seeing that the situation was not going well, even a few members of the supervising team dropped their guns and ran away. Suddenly the whole team collapsed. The battlefield was full of soldiers abandoning their weapons and fleeing for their lives.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a defeat is overwhelming.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..." Standing still, Chen Qimei murmured to herself as if she was stupid. The saber she had been holding in her hand also fell to the ground. Her eyes were blank and she stared helplessly at the person in front of her.

Big defeat.

"Commander, let's go! Let's go!" The close soldiers protected Chen Qimei and ran out. If they hadn't been for them, Chen Qimei would have been trampled to death by the fleeing defeated soldiers. They pulled up Chen Qimei, who was already walking like a zombie. They ignored the defeated team and

Try your best to escape to a place with few people.

After finally escaping for several hundred meters, they suddenly encountered a group of soldiers. Just when they were frightened, a surprised shout came from the other side, "Is that Big Brother? Big Brother! My little brother Jiang Zhiqing!"

It turned out that this group was the former enemy commander-in-chief Jiang Zhiqing, deputy commander-in-chief He Yingqin and others who had just escaped from the front. They were barely protected by a dozen soldiers, all of whom were covered in blood and were in a miserable state.

"Ruiyuan, Jingzhi... Ruiyuan, Jingzhi... We are defeated, we are defeated... Wuwu..." Looking at Jiang Zhiqing and others with dull eyes, Chen Qimei suddenly burst into tears, with tears and runny nose.

, I'm so heartbroken! It's almost done, but who would have thought that the most painful thing in life would be to fall short.

"Brother, hurry up, take off your clothes and follow me!" Seeing Chen Qimei crying non-stop and still wearing a conspicuous military uniform, Jiang Zhiqing quickly helped him take it off and found some tattered casual clothes for him.

After putting it on, Chen Qimei, who was already in a mess, was like a wooden figure, letting Jiang Zhiqing toss her around, and then she was led hurriedly towards the concession.

During the Battle of the Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Qimei's department was wiped out, and even Chief of Staff Huang Yong died in the rebel army. They took off their military uniforms while fleeing, and after a few hours, the dozen or so people who were in a state of embarrassment finally escaped into the French Concession, and waited.

After arriving at the concession, Jiang Zhiqing, who was out of breath, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

On the way to escape, Chen Qimei, who had lost all hope, finally gradually regained his composure. Although his face was still earthy, at least he had regained his sanity.

"Go to No. 14 Saposai Road. If you suffer such a huge defeat, you need 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, was missing. Not only that, but Dai Jitao, secretary to the Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Party, was also missing.

"Where are the people? Where are Premier Sun and others?" Jiang Zhiqing, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, grabbed the Green Gang members who were staying here and asked urgently.

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

"Gone? When? Where did you go?"

"In the morning, he left shortly after dawn. He said that Shanghai would be left to Governor Chen to handle it. For the sake of the overall situation of the revolution, he would immediately return to Japan to organize forces, summon overseas comrades, and crusade against Yuan Shikai. Others did not dare to do more.

Ask!" the man left behind said with a grimace.

Not long after dawn? Wasn't this the time when reinforcements from the other side had just arrived? Whether it was Chen Qimei, Jiang Zhiqing or He Yingqin, they immediately understood that they had organized a force to crusade against Yuan Shikai, and they had obviously abandoned them and fled when they saw that the situation was not good.

"If you have the intention...to kill the thief! If you are powerless...go to hell! Hate! I hate it so much!" Chen Qimei stood stunned for a while, then suddenly shouted to the sky, vomited blood and fell into Jiang Zhiqing's arms.
