The driver stopped in front of the high and low fence gate. He took a deep breath, bowed his waist, and twisted his hands together habitually. Han Baihang raised his hat, poked his eyes out from under the brim, and looked at what was in front of him.
This building is not high, with two floors up and down. It can barely be considered three floors including the attic. The pointed ribbed vault and stained glass windows make it look like a Christian church. Although Han Baihang didn't understand it very well, he recognized it at a glance.
This is quite a classic Gothic style.
"Thank you for your reward, Mr. Shitou." Shitou gave each of the two coachmen a piece of gold, and the extra money was considered as a tip. The two coachmen were very happy and thanked them repeatedly.
Gao Hongyi took the lead and pressed the rather advanced electric doorbell on the iron door frame.
"Who are you looking for?" A woman with a Shanghai accent stuck her head out of the second-floor window and shouted towards the door. Without even meeting her, she knew she was a fierce person.
"This is Mr. Yang's cousin, and Mr. Yang didn't come out to greet him!" Gao Hongyi also shouted at the top of his voice. The woman seemed to be stagnant, and her spicy voice turned sweet and annoying: "Hey
, it’s my cousin who’s here, wait for me to go pick him up!”
The woman seemed to have jumped directly from the second floor. Not long after the sound fell, the door opened, and the unique clicking sound of high heels could be heard on the cobblestone path.
The woman turned around the flower bed and finally revealed her true face. Her hair, which was fashionable in Shanghai, was casually draped on her chest. She was wearing a half-open bathrobe and wore bright red high heels. It looked nondescript no matter how you looked at it.
.Not only did the man's eyes fall on him, but also the little girl Liu Xiaoya looked at her with wide eyes. It turned out that the clothes could be worn like this.
This woman was very beautiful, but she seemed to be born with a bit of a romantic air, which made Han Baihang frown and feel quite unhappy. Gao Hongyi did not hide it at all, and asked with a smile: "Beauty, is Mr. Yang at home?"
"Mr. Yang has gone on a long journey, but he said that if any relatives come over, they can stay here first, no need to be polite." The woman leaned lazily against the fence gate, shaped like a weak willow, and there was a sense of romance in her eyes.
The woman looked carefree, and her almond-shaped eyes swept over the faces of the people in front of her one by one, until they landed on Han Baihang's face. When their eyes met, the woman turned in a circle, her face almost pressed against the fence and said: "This
Is this my cousin?"
"I wonder what I call this young lady?"
"Miss? She is not a wealthy person, she is just a servant girl in the mansion." The woman's slender fingers passed in front of Han Baihang and opened the lock of the fence door. The stone was pushed by Hu Zi alone.
While pushing the door open, Gao Hongyi was the first to clear the way, and Han Baihang pulled Liu Xiaoya to follow. All thirty or forty people rushed in. Han Baihang ignored this woman, and others naturally did not dare to ignore her. This woman seemed to be left out.
, a little annoyed, snorted, followed the group of men, and walked lazily inside.
Shitou and Huzi looked at each other, and they gestured to divide the thirty-six guards of the Fujian army into three teams. One team followed Shitou to set up defense downstairs, and the other team followed Huzi to set up defense in the courtyard. Finally, seven were left.
Eight people accompanied Han Baihang and Gao Hongyi directly to the attic.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Han Baihang smiled at Gao Hongyi and said, "Brother Gao, this is making a fuss out of a molehill. Are you afraid that people on the third floor outside this place don't know that there is an enemy chief of staff living here?"
On this matter, Gao Hongyi refused to give in at all and glared: "You are still joking, what kind of place is this? This is the enemy's base camp. Lu Yongxiang is stationed here with tens of thousands of armed police! I wish I could be here now
Dig two trenches and build two bunkers in the courtyard!" Gao Hongyi shook his head and said: "Commander, I have been fighting for half my life, but the commanders of the enemy and ours sit together to direct the battle, and I am
This is the first time I heard about it. If you ask me, don’t wait for any response. Brothers will keep you in the line of fire. As long as you get to Kunshan, our world will be ours."
Han Baihang smiled and said: "Yes, no one has ever dared to command operations in the enemy's base camp. You, Gao Hongyi, can't think of it, and he, Lu Yongxiang, can't think of it, but I, Han, am at ease. The commander must be a fortification bunker.
Walking in the woods all day long? I think this ten-mile foreign trade is not bad!"
Han Baihang rarely saw Gao Hongyi's nervous look and joked with him. He knew that according to the original negotiation with Qi Xieyuan in the telegram, he would ask a familiar British caravan to take him out of Shanghai and send him to Kunshan.
So Han Baihang is not too worried.
"Report!" Two soldiers came in, and one of them said: "Report to the division commander, the telegraph has been set up."
Han Baihang nodded and said, "Call Fushuai immediately to ask about the battle situation!"
Being on the outside, all Korean Air's information sources could only rely on this small telegraph machine.
"This is my home, why don't you let me go up there?" Noisy voices came up from downstairs.
You only need to hear the voice to know who is shouting. Han Baihang frowned and asked, "What's going on with this woman?"
"I heard..." Gao Hongyi was about to say something when he saw Liu Xiaoya looking at him with big curious eyes. Gao Hongyi stopped talking and whispered a few words into Han Baihang's ear. Han Baihang just sneered and said: "
Lao Qi is really courageous!"
"You are so bold!" Gao Hongyi said with a smile.
"Report!"
The two people who were muttering were interrupted by the soldier's voice. Han Baihang immediately changed his face and shouted: "Say!"
"Telegraphed to Han, Chief of Staff of the rebel army, that since about 9 o'clock in the morning, all fronts have been engaged in a full-scale exchange of fire. Among them, the Anting front line was covered by two artillery regiments. At 14:20 in the afternoon, the 19th Division captured Anting and was about to capture it.
March towards Nanxiang, strive to break through Jiading in the early morning of tomorrow, and advance towards Shanghai. On the Wusong front, the 13th Division has occupied Liuhe. The soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang organized three large-scale charges within six hours, but we were repelled head-on. Another Yixing
On the front line, no trace of large groups of enemy troops has been found yet. Brigadier Chen Tiaoyuan called to ask for a fight and will march towards Changxing, Zhejiang..."
Contrary to Han Baihang's expectation, Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang and Shanghai troops were so incompetent. Less than seven hours after the battle, the three groups of troops showed signs of defeat at the same time? Han Baihang turned his head and met Gao Hongyi's surprised eyes. Han Baihang
There was an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart.
"Call Fushuai. The Yixing front line is an important military base. It's abnormal that Zhejiang and Lu are not on alert. Brigadier Chen can fight steadily and don't cross the border easily to pursue."
