"Reinforcements... our reinforcements are coming... coming from the east, coming from the east..."
Xiang Lang burst into tears and pointed his finger in the direction of the Eastern train gate, shaking his head with excitement. At this moment, the city gate faced due east, and the rays of the morning sun came in and cast thousands of golden lights.
The iron fences that blocked the soldiers and civilians cut into pieces the shadows of the rising sun, just like the bars in a prison cell.
Behind this steel net, a black dragon roared loudly and rushed in with an indomitable momentum.
Bang... bang... After a loud noise, the iron fences as thick as arms were smashed into pieces, and broken iron bars flew everywhere.
A pitch-black armored train puffing out white smoke gasped and crashed in, brazenly showing off its martial arts to the inner city of Tianjin Wei.
Ta da da...ta da da...
The heavy machine guns poured out firepower desperately, and the rebels on the top of the city were so suppressed that they could not even lift their heads. The black hole of the muzzle exploded the crenel more than ten meters wide with one shot, as if a black dragon had taken a bite on the city wall. .
"Armored train...Chinese armored train..." Everyone in the Jingwu Heroes Association was excited. They jumped out of their hiding places regardless of the danger of enemy shooting and cheered.
The rebels and the foreign Japanese allied forces of the Three Kingdoms all forgot to open fire at this moment, and were dumbfounded looking at this mighty armored train!
Andrew was shocked. "Oh God! The intelligence is not reality. The Chinese will never intervene? Why did the armored train suddenly appear?"
"Negotiate immediately...negotiate with the Chinese immediately...We are here to maintain the security of Tianjin Guard. It is a protective operation. We are protecting the embassy area, not participating in the war..."
"Armistice...all armistice..."
The British are really thieves. When they saw that the Chinese were serious, they immediately chose to negotiate and even raised the white flag of an armistice. But at this moment, the armored train was already going crazy.
In the car, Jiang Lie and Ma Hui were furious when they saw the miserable state of their old acquaintances from the Jingwu Heroes Association, "Fire... Damn, you damn foreign devils, give me their artillery positions first!"
"Three naval gunboats have already sailed upstream from Dagu Pass. How many foreign gunboats are there in Tianjin Guards will have to be blown up and sunk!"
"What a fool. The Qing Dynasty is fighting a civil war, and we Chinese people have not directly participated in the war. How dare you foreign devils come to pick peaches?"
"Open fire...conquer them first and then negotiate!"
Boom...boom...
This time, the principle that caliber is justice came to the Chinese. The train guns dealt an almost crushing blow to these small-caliber field guns. After three rounds, the British artillery position was no longer visible.
There were broken parts everywhere, and the British troops who were slow to escape were blown into the Haihe River and fed to the bastards!
"Sir... the Chinese are firing at us brazenly... fight back! This is the best excuse to start a war, start a war..." Naturally there were some silly and fanatical officers in the British army clamoring.
Andrew yelled, "Asshole! The military order we received was to support Emperor Guangxu rather than start a war with the Chinese... Besides, do we have a chance of winning in a war? With just a few people, there is no heavy artillery protection..."
"No counterattack...continue to send messengers, I will go there myself..."
Andrew knew that with his limited strength, he could bully the Qing soldiers, but he was completely powerless against this kind of armored train. A good man cannot sacrifice his life in vain unless he suffers the immediate consequences.
Andrew rode a horse and held a flag in one hand and ran towards the armored train. At this moment, Jiang Lie and the others had their guns pointed at the Qing rebels. These stupid rebels didn't even know how to escape.
Boom... The stubby 210-caliber cannon is like a god in the Tianjin Battle at this moment. With one shot, there was no living person in an area half a football field!
The smoke and dust from the explosion rushed into the sky as high as four or five stories. When the smoke cleared, the crater more than three meters deep looked like a pond.
This is a fighting power like a god, which has exceeded the imagination of the soldiers and civilians of the Qing Dynasty. Although more than a hundred people were killed in one shot, the morale of these rebels was absolutely fatal.
They are not long-trained veterans of hundreds of battles. They are just ruthless bandits at best. When they encounter this kind of combat power that exceeds their cognition, they are immediately frightened into madness.
"Run... Xiao Letian's heavenly soldiers and generals are here... Wuwuwu... Why did you offend this grandpa... Run!"
With just one shot from the 210-caliber cannon, the rebels immediately fled. Everyone hated their parents for losing two legs, and lost many of their weapons and fled.
It was so dark that in the farmland outside Tianjin, as far as the eye could see, there were all the defeated troops chasing ducks, and no one dared to look back.
Andrew rushed to the side of the train holding a white flag. At this moment, the armored train had slowed down and was about to stop. Andrew rode a horse and ran forward with the train.
"British Lieutenant Colonel Andrew...requests to negotiate with your army...don't misunderstand...this war is a misunderstanding..."
"We have no intention of starting a war with the Chinese...please don't misunderstand me!"
"Please ask the officials waiting in the party to negotiate with me... Maintaining law and order in Tianjin is our joint responsibility!"
"Bah... Damn, that's our responsibility. What does it have to do with you foreign devils? This is Chinese territory..." The car window opened and Jiang Lie cursed back in English.
Andrew had seen patrol armored trains before, but he had never seen them so close, nor had he seen such a murderous look.
In the past, all the shooting holes were closed, and the main gun was wrapped in tarpaulin. You couldn't see clearly what it looked like during combat. All data were just guesses.
Taking a closer look today, he finally understood where the Chinese people's tyranny lies!
Such a monster of pure steel accumulation does not exist even in Europe. The dense rivets look like the compound eyes of insects. People with trypophobia will not dare to look up.
Each shooting port was open, and the black muzzles were pointed at him vigilantly. Some of the muzzles were even smoking. They waited for the officer's order.
As long as there is a military order, Andrew knows that these soldiers will not hesitate to pull the trigger and beat themselves into sieves!
The most terrifying thing is the 210-caliber cannon. With this cannon protecting Tianjin, all the small British gunboats on the Haihe River will become targets.
"We can't fight! With my little strength, I can't fight head-on with the Chinese. I have to wait for reinforcements. What I want now is negotiation!"
The train panted heavily and finally stopped. Jiang Lie stuck his head out of the window and said proudly, "Get out of your concession, I can guarantee your safety!"
"But you are not allowed to interfere in other places! This is the Qing people's own civil war and it has nothing to do with you!"
"On the contrary... we reserve the right to make further complaints about your military operations against the Far East. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will negotiate with your British government!"
Andrew put down the white flag and wiped his sweat. "Sorry, the whole thing was caused by Zhuangzi from the Far East Country, who brazenly launched a war! If you want to condemn it, you should first condemn the Far East Country!"
