his robbery

The general of Gu Jun led his troops and reluctantly followed Huo Xiangzhen to Pukou. He only knew that he was going to Pukou to wait for orders to go south, and he didn't know anything about the rest of the situation.If it wasn't for Huo Xiangzhen holding Gu Chengxi in his hands, they would have run away long ago.If Gu Chengxi had died, they would have run away long ago; the problem is that Gu Chengxi has never died, which made the generals very aggrieved: if they run away, I am sorry for the commander; if they don’t run away, they are sorry for themselves.If the commander became violent for a while, hit a wall or drank a bullet, maybe things would be easier to handle; but if the commander died unintentionally, the generals would not expect him to ascend to heaven.

There is only one river between Pukou and Nanjing. Logically speaking, since Huo Xiangzhen arrived at Pukou, he should immediately cross the river and go to Nanjing.However, he harbored a ghost in his heart, and he didn't know how much the Nanjing government knew about his secret actions, so he sat in Pukou and didn't dare to move.

In the evening of this day, the time was ripe, and Xue Bing and others gathered at his temporary residence again.In front of Huo Xiangzhen, Xue Bing had always been very well-behaved, but tonight he sat without saying a word for a long time, and suddenly lit a cigarette for himself.

Sun Wenxiong was already swallowing his saliva one mouthful at a time. Seeing Xuebing's behavior, he followed suit and smoked a cigarette.Holding the cigarette and taking a big puff, the beating heart in his cavity stabilized a little bit—the matter is too big, it is really too big; because it is still optional to do it now, it weighs more than a thousand catties , Big enough to cover the sky.

Li Kechen's temperament was originally weaker than these two, but at the moment he was calm and composed, because he had already made up his mind and was only waiting for Huo Xiangzhen's order.In addition, there are two division commanders, a brigade commander and a regimental commander. Because they think less, their burdens are light, and they wait steadily for Huo Xiangzhen to release the battle plan.

Huo Xiangzhen sat on the first hardwood chair, with his quartermaster standing beside him.The director bent down and reported to him in a low voice—they had enough weapons and ammunition, they had stayed in Anhui for half a year, and now they had everything.When the director finished his report, Huo Xiangzhen raised his head and faced the people in the room, and finally got to the point.

As soon as he spoke, Xuebing and Sun Wenxiong immediately put out the cigarettes in their hands.While Sun Wenxiong was listening, he raised his head and looked at him eagerly; Xuebing lowered his head and only pricked up his ears.For Huo Xiangzhen, he didn't need to look at it with his eyes. He always felt that Mr. Huo's soul also lived in his heart. He and Mr. Huo's father and son—although they were only adoptive fathers and sons—had been examining Huo Xiangzhen from afar all these years. Supervising Huo Xiangzhen.If Huo Xiangzhen succeeded, he felt at ease; if Huo Xiangzhen failed, he was heartbroken.Rebelling against Chiang this time is actually a dangerous move, but if you don't rebel, you have to go south. There is no way.

"He Bogao asked us to take Nanjing. He will attack Hubei from Henan, and then connect Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu." Huo Xiangzhen said to the room full of people: "The idea is good, but it is very difficult. He wants to go to Wuhan. We It’s hard to see; we can just listen to his plan, and don’t need to take it as a policy. As for Nanjing, we have to fight flexibly. Gu Chengxi’s soldiers can only add to the chaos when it is serious, so they are not allowed to enter the city. When you have a clear idea, use them again."

Having said that, he took out his pocket watch to check the time.The days of winter are short, and it is already dark outside the window.The arrow is on the string and has to be fired; and he has drawn the bow to the extreme, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.

The army has already controlled the whole city of Pukou, and in a few hours, it will be time for him to open his bow and arrow. He closed the watch cover with a "click", and he decided to do it to the end this time!

While Huo Xiangzhen was having a secret meeting, Gu Chengxi was secretly putting bullets into a small pistol in a residential house in Pukou City.Defense by day and night, and house thieves are hard to defend. The human wall formed by the guards is indeed insurmountable, but there is a traitor in it, and they send him news one after another. When the news is enough, send weapons instead.As always, he turned off the light and went to bed early. He didn't take off his coat, pressed one hand under the pillow, and held the pistol tightly.

If there were no accidents, Chief of Staff Wang would quietly sneak into the city tonight and lead troops to rescue him—we can't wait any longer, if this continues, some people in the army will really get out of hand.

If you want to stabilize the morale of the army, the only way is to get the commander back; any other measures are useless.And Chief of Staff Wang thinks he is a Maxima, and now he is about to take a risk for his Bole.

Gu Chengxi held his breath, staring at the glass window with piercing eyes.Tonight is a month of dark and windy weather, no stars and no moon, all relying on the electric light in front of the door for illumination.There are people in the yard, and there are people outside the yard. The guard work is not perfect, but further outside, the whole city is under the control of Huo Jun. The gunfire here will immediately attract countless soldiers. horse.So for tonight's action, he has no chance of winning at all.

If not, I have to risk my life and try it. Gu Chengxi's right hand holding the gun is sweating, and the water is uncomfortable.Gu Chengxi plus the military commander is Gu Junchang; Gu Chengxi minus the military commander is not shit.He also knew that he had a rather high-minded temper. Without him, Xiao Lin could still open a small naughty shop in Beiping City to make a living; but if he left the soldier, he thought to himself, it seemed that the only way to go was to throw himself into the river.He couldn't live in poverty, and the feeling of pretending to be a grandson was even more uncomfortable. After he tasted it once, Yongsheng didn't want to taste it again.

Leaning forward and borrowing the light from the window, he looked at the watch on his left wrist.This watch is really good. That year when he was wearing it, Huo Xiangzhen chased him into the glacier, and the watch was soaked in water. However, after taking it apart and drying it for a few days, the hands of the watch still moved as usual, and there was no difference. Difference.To him, this watch was a great thing, and it was because he saw it at first sight that he stumbled across the pile of dead people and grabbed Huo Xiangzhen's hand.

From then on, sweetness, pain, joy, bitterness... everything came, came and left, and came back again.Lust and emotion so intense that, for better or for worse, it becomes a catastrophe.How can a person made of flesh and blood stand such trials and tribulations?

Gu Chengxi lay back and continued to stare out the window.It was already midnight now, his feet in leather shoes moved under the blanket, and he was ready to leap out at any moment.

At this moment, a gunshot was heard from afar in the street.Gu Chengxi's eyes lit up, and his first impression was that Chief of Staff Wang was leading his troops to kill him; but after thinking about it, it was wrong, the gunshot was too far away, and it didn't seem to be coming towards him.Trying to sit up tentatively, he shrank back into the shadows, and one leg stretched out from the quilt and hung under the bed.Before the soles of the shoes touched the ground, thunder suddenly struck above his head.His body trembled violently, and he came back to his senses—a heavy machine gun was erected on the roof, and the heavy machine gun fired!

He lifted the quilt and rolled it on the spot. In order to avoid stray bullets, he hid directly in the corner of the house.As if in just a split second, gunshots rang out outside the window, shots were fired nearby, and shots were fired from afar.Gu Chengxi was well aware of the danger outside, so he panicked and waited for rescue, while focusing on distinguishing the source of the gunshots.A golden firework suddenly bloomed outside the window. Gu Chengxi closed his eyes tightly in fright, and then found that the heavy machine gun on the roof had gone silent. The machine gunner must have been dealt with by his own people.

As soon as the heavy machine guns on the high ground were paralyzed, most of the threat was eliminated immediately.After the yellow light went out, a faint red light came on outside the window again. It was someone who fired a signal flare.At the same time, the door opened, and the guard officer rushed in in a panic, grabbing Gu Chengxi and was about to rush out.Without saying a word, Gu Chengxi raised his hand and shot the officer dead, then quickly moved to the door, and began to watch the battle outside in a secretive way.There are still guards resisting in the yard, and the outside of the yard is full of corpses, the signal flare is still alive, and a group of soldiers wearing Huo Jun uniforms are stepping on the corpses and holding rifles, charging into the yard.An ammunition box was thrown crookedly by the door. The lid of the box was open, and there were actually grenades inside.

Gu Chengxi carefully bent down and reached out, secretly picked up a grenade, then turned around to hide behind the door, and he pulled off the fuse of the grenade.White smoke escaped with sparks, he held his breath, and counted in his heart: "One! Two! Three!"

In the next second, he turned around and stood at the door, throwing the grenade at the soldiers in the courtyard.As he wished, the grenade exploded above the guards' heads, and the defense line at the gate of the courtyard immediately collapsed. Soldiers outside the courtyard took the opportunity to swarm in. The leader with a big beard was none other than Chief of Staff Wang.When he saw Gu Chengxi, who was full of beards and feathers, he grabbed his hand and was so excited that he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time; and Gu Chengxi didn't have time to say anything, so he ran out of the courtyard with Chief of Staff Wang, and at the same time gave orders at the top of his voice: "Let's go!" Go! Get out of town immediately!"

The voice fell, and there was another gunshot in the distance.This made Gu Chengxi stop suspiciously: "Chief of Staff, where else is the war going on in the city?"

Chief of Staff Wang was also confused: "I don't know which part is firing, but it has nothing to do with us anyway!"

Gu Chengxi led people to run out of the city, the more he ran, the more he felt that the situation was not right.After running for no three streets, they surrounded a group of policemen who were also running around.Gu Chengxi grabbed one of the police officers and asked him, the police officer's answer surprised him - just half an hour ago, Huo Jun suddenly dispatched and disarmed the Public Security Bureau and the security team!

Turning to Chief of Staff Wang with staring eyes, Gu Chengxi shouted amidst the gunshots: "Huo Jingheng is going to rebel!"

Immediately he laughed uncontrollably, his eyes still glaring when he laughed: "Okay, okay, he rebelled, I'm making trouble!"

An hour later, Gu Jun's various departments received urgent telegrams, and they all learned that "the commander is back."

In the early hours of the morning, Gu Jun gathered urgently and rushed all the way into the city.At this time, Huo Jun's artillery regiment had already set up heavy artillery along the Yangtze River, preparing to cover the soldiers crossing the river.Huo Xiangzhen learned that Gu Chengxi had escaped, but he didn't expect that his carbine would come so quickly this time.He originally planned to raid Nanjing before dawn, but now the raid has not yet started, but the backyard is on fire. How dare he cross the river rashly?

The battle plan changed immediately. Fortunately, he was prepared to "fight flexibly". The road ahead was blocked, but there was still a way out.The staff office replaced the adjutant office, and followed Huo Xiangzhen to the bank of the Yangtze River.

Facing the mighty river wind, Huo Xiangzhen looked into the distance, deeply hating the Nanjing government on the other side of the river.He didn't have the strength to go straight to Nanjing, but he was unwilling to let him retreat quietly.If Gu Jun was still in control, he might take the risk of fighting this battle; but Gu Jun is out of control, and he can't attack by force.

If the attack fails, it needs to be frightened. Anyway, it has turned its face and has no worries.Raising his hand, he took off his cloak and threw it back. He walked behind a heavy cannon, leaned over and put his eyes on the sight. He shook the shooting circle and aimed the cannon at Nanjing City on the other side.

Immediately after filling a cannonball into the barrel, he straightened up, and at the same time slowly wrapped the rope on the cannon bolt around his hand.Lifting his feet to step on a big rock in front of him, he looked ahead and at the same time said to the artillery commander beside him: "Send the order to bombard Nanjing!"

After the words fell, he slammed the rope in his hand.There was only a roar, and the shell burst out, and the bolide streaked across the night sky above the river, and exploded into a cloud of fire on the opposite bank.

The loud noise continued, and the area around Pukou was shaken, and thousands of guns were fired.Huo Xiangzhen stood at the forefront, her temple throbbed with pain, pain, but also joy, as if she had finally taken revenge.

After a bombardment, the city of Nanjing fell into great chaos.And Huo Xiangzhen took the artillery regiment and evacuated from the riverside before dawn.After all, Gu Jun was summoned temporarily by Gu Chengxi, scattered sand is generally not organized, and the number of people is not Huo Jun's opponent at all.So Huo Xiangzhen boarded the train with a large group of people, left Pukou and returned to Anhui calmly, and robbed Gu Jun's temporary arsenal along the way.

Gu Chengxi hadn't planned to confront Huo Xiangzhen head-on, he fought until dawn symbolically, he withdrew his troops, and started planning to ask for credit and reward from the Nanjing government.

A few days later, news came from Anhui that Huo Xiangzhen had organized a new provincial government in Bengbu, and that the old government in Huaining had been abolished by him.

Although such a move was made, for Huo Xiangzhen, Anhui always seemed to be not his place, and his business was his business, but he didn't plan to make it last forever.His army started from Bengbu and stationed northwest along the railway line. Some of the troops had already entered Henan, and if they went a little deeper, they would enter Lian Yi's territory.

Huo Xiangzhen made up his mind that if he could keep this place in Anhui, he would keep it, if he couldn't keep it, he would throw it away and go directly to Henan.Anyway, sooner or later you have to go north, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.
