Chapter 492
The captain walked outside and saw that all the brothers here had taken care of their own affairs. The captain said: "It seems that everyone knows it. This is not far from the police station. After the gunfire, it won't take long for the police to come."
We will be there. Those who have spears in their hands must be quick. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to those ghosts."
After hearing the captain's words, everyone burst into laughter. They each found bunkers and waited for the enemy's attack.
Regardless of whether it was the young gentleman’s family or the captain, they never expected that it would start with a few explosions. After a few explosions, several holes were opened in the wall.
Before the smoke cleared, several grenade-like objects were thrown directly from the smoke. The objects did not explode when they fell to the ground, but instead puffed out thick smoke.
The captain did not hesitate to order his men to fire at the position where the gap appeared. The sound of gunfire was loud for a moment. As for whether it had any effect, it was not known because the gap was obscured by thick smoke.
Neither the pistol nor the rifle was loaded with much ammunition. I don’t know if it took two minutes for the firepower to weaken, and everyone was reloading.
But then, to the captain's surprise, no personnel rushed out of the thick smoke. Instead, several artillery shells were fired from outside the wall, towards the crowded place on his side.
Fortunately, they were all hiding behind the bunker. Apart from the shock that made the people behind the bunker dizzy and their ears ringing, there were no casualties. But the other party actually had mortars. This is not outside, this is the concession! People like us are trying to get in.
When we came to the concession, we even sold machine guns. How did those people outside bring in mortars?
As soon as the explosion sounded at Mr. Xiao's home, the police station not far from Mr. Xiao's home immediately heard the noise. But since the war between the Japanese and the Chinese began, both the Japanese and the southern government have been doing things in the concession.
Such explosions of wind and rain naturally happen from time to time.
At the beginning, the senior management of the concession wanted to suppress the two parties and prevent several parties from disrupting the security of the concession. However, they found that not only was there no effect, but they also suffered a lot of losses.
So now when the concession police encounter this kind of situation, they will not rush to the scene as soon as possible. Instead, they will go there later. When the two parties are almost fighting, they will go over and pick up some fish that have slipped through the net.
Although the young gentleman’s father had never heard the sound of mortars, the location of the two explosions was very different. The one at the back seemed to have exploded near the villa. The vase placed on the architrave shelf,
They were all shaken down.
The young gentleman's father and his son carefully lay down at the corner of the second floor. He asked the servant to ask the captain, "Why was the explosion so close to the villa just now?"
The captain asked his servant to take the lead and said: "The opponent's use of mortars is beyond our capabilities. Please make plans in advance and use any tactics as soon as possible."
Although Mr. Xiao’s father doesn’t know what a mortar looks like, he still knows about the cannon. It seems that Mr. Xiao’s family will not be able to pass this level.
Although Mr. Xiao’s family has been in Tianjin for more than a year, they haven’t even taken possession of their own property, so how can they establish themselves? On weekdays, they close the door and live their lives cautiously.
The young gentleman's father said with emotion: "I want to come to our house to farm and study, and to benefit our neighbors. How could we suffer such a disaster?"
The young gentleman said: "Father, we still have a chance. There is nothing happening there to the west. Let's escape from there!"
It’s not like Mr. Xiao’s father hasn’t read history books, so he naturally knows about the Three Towers. But when he thinks that his family will be ruined today, he is already a little confused.
The young gentleman's father immediately said: "Go and call your wife over. Let's leave quickly and climb over the wall to the west!"
After saying this, the little gentleman's father propped up his crutches and went to his bedroom. There were many things still in the safe, but they had to be taken away. Now the little gentleman's father was glad that his family did not buy any property or money.
It's all in the bank.
Soon, several people met on the second floor. In addition to the three people, the young gentleman's wife also brought her maid. The maid also had a lot of bags in her hands.
The little gentleman’s father called his loyal servants over and said, “Go and gather all the servants on the first floor and let the captain teach you how to shoot. Go and do what you can. Whether we can survive depends on this.
Already."
At this time, the loyal servant naturally took everyone down without saying a word. Now the young gentleman's family is only surrounded by the young gentleman's wife's maid and the old housekeeper.
Seeing that everyone had gone to the first floor, the young gentleman said to his father: "Father, everyone has gathered on the first floor, how are we going to get down?"
The young gentleman was afraid that the captain and the others would see his family abandoning them and running away. He would just give up his job or turn his gun around.
The old housekeeper standing by said, "Don't worry, young master. The lawn in the yard is being mowed today, and the ladder is in the yard. I used the sheets in the young master's room to make a rope ladder. We can use this to go downstairs."
The little gentleman nodded wildly and praised the old butler for his good job. The little gentleman's father said: "Okay, stop talking. The other party has already used cannons. I don't know how long the captain and the others can hold on. Let's leave quickly!"
"
Several people hurriedly walked to the window of the young master's room. The old housekeeper went down first, followed by the young gentleman's father and the young gentleman. Among them, except for the young gentleman's father who was old and frail, he was trembling when he came down.
Apart from the inconvenience, everything went smoothly.
Although I knew the ladder was in the yard, I didn't know where to put it. I searched for it carefully. When I finally found it, the gunfire in the villa was no longer as intense as when I first came down.
The young gentleman and the old housekeeper hurriedly set up the stairs. The old housekeeper said: "Master, let me go and take a look first for you."
The little gentleman’s father also knows what’s on the other side of the body wall. If there’s no one to catch him, he’ll definitely be thrown around if he rolls over like this.
But there was no movement after the old housekeeper turned over. The young gentleman said: "Father, did the old housekeeper run away? Why is there no movement at all? He even said he was helping us explore the road!"
There are no longer fierce gunshots in the villa, and the explosions that come to mind from time to time. Only the occasional gunfire can be heard from the villa. It seems that the captain and his troops have been wiped out.
The little gentleman’s father said to his son: “We can’t wait any longer, hurry over!”
