The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 94: Entering the Concession
Seeing that Liu Jiujiu was obviously anxious with a red face and thick neck, Teng Yuzao said hurriedly, "Listen to me, this time we must not only destroy the coalition forces that came to support us, but also take advantage of the situation to rush into the concession in one go."

After hearing Teng Yuzhao say that they were going to charge into the concession, excitement started to shine in everyone's eyes again.

Teng Yuzao continued, "The reason why we have to leave some coalition forces behind is to let them escape back..."

"What did you say? Not only do you not kill them, you also let them escape!"

Liu Shijiu had already widened his eyes and glared at Teng Yuzao fiercely. If they didn't agree with each other, he would probably gather his team and leave.

Teng Yuzao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I have something else to say. Please listen to me. When the remaining coalition forces flee to the concession, we will chase them closely from behind. This way, we can avoid being killed by the firepower of the coalition forces guarding the pontoon bridge..."

"Okay! This is a good idea!"

Before Teng Yuzao could finish his words, Li Xianze excitedly cheered.

"Sir." Li Jinyu said excitedly.

"If we want to avoid being blocked by the coalition forces defending the pontoon bridge, our pursuing troops must stick closely to the fleeing coalition forces."

"Correct."

Teng Yuzao looked at Li Jinyu with appreciation and said, "Our pursuit troops must stick closely to the fleeing coalition forces and chase them across the pontoon bridge. We must not only seize the bridgehead position on the other side, but also kill the remaining enemies who have fled into the concession. It would be best if we can wipe out the fleeing remnants of the coalition forces on the other side of the river in one fell swoop."

Liu Shijiu touched his bald forehead and smiled flatteringly, "My good brother, you left some of the foreign devils alive because you wanted to keep them as hostages and drive them to flee across the Baihe River West Exit Floating Bridge desperately, so that the foreign devils guarding the bridge would be afraid to shoot recklessly. In this way, we can kill them across the river in one fell swoop. If you had said so earlier, why would I be so anxious with you?"

Teng Yuzao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you won't even let me finish my words!"

Liu Shijiu smiled awkwardly and bowed repeatedly, "Brother apologizes to you, it's all my fault!"

Teng Yuzao quickly held down Liu Shijiu's hand and said, "This way, our follow-up troops can not only cross the Baihe River and rush into the concession at the lowest cost, but also destroy the enemy to the greatest extent, reducing resistance for our subsequent operations."

Teng Yuzao looked at Li Xianze and continued, "However, a force like this responsible for seizing the pontoon bridge must be determined to die. After crossing the river, when facing the superior enemy guarding the bridge, they must charge forward and fight to the death without any hesitation. In particular, they must first destroy the Maxim heavy machine gun position of the coalition forces guarding the bridge, otherwise it will give the coalition forces on the other side some breathing time. Therefore, we need to organize a death squad of about a hundred people."

As Li Xiance spoke, Li Jinyu stepped forward and said, "Sir, I am willing to lead the death squad to chase the remaining enemies."

Li Xianze wanted to speak up to fight for it, but when he thought that he was now the commander of a group of people and no longer the sentry leader he used to be, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. He opened his mouth, but the words that were already on his lips did not come out.

"Good brother, let me lead this death squad."

When he heard that Li Jinyu was going to lead the suicide squad, Liu Shijiu also stepped forward excitedly, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Teng Yuzao's hand and said. Teng Yuzao hurriedly shook his head and said, "That won't do, brother, I don't even recognize a few of your men, and if something happens to you, your men will probably scatter immediately."

Liu Shijiu patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry. I didn't learn all my Kung Fu for nothing. I'm not bragging. I've fought against the foreign devils many times. If it weren't for me, the eldest brother, rushing to the front, the foreign devils' guns didn't even knock down a hair of mine."

Liu Jiujiu's words startled Li Xianze, Li Jinyu and Wu Peifu. Li Jinyu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Captain Liu, are you really invulnerable to swords and guns?"

Wu Peifu also asked in disbelief, "Uncle Master, is there really such a thing as invulnerability to swords and guns in this world?"

Teng Yuzhao couldn't help feeling unhappy about the questions raised by the two people. Wasn't this embarrassing for Liu Shijiu in front of him?
Just as he was about to scold the two men, Li Xiance had already seen that Teng Yuzao was unhappy. Fearing that he would scold them, he hurriedly said, "You two little bastards, how dare you talk to Chief Liu!"

The questions raised by these two people did make Liu Shijiu a little embarrassed, but when he saw that Teng Yuzao's face had darkened, he hurriedly smiled and spoke.

"There should be a kung fu that is invulnerable to swords and guns, but I have never had the chance to see it, and I have never practiced it myself."

Liu Shijiu said this very tactfully. He did not completely deny the claim that he was invulnerable, but he also admitted that he himself did not know how to do it.

Teng Yuzao saw that Li Xianze and Liu Shijiu did not want him to lose his temper with the two young men, so he suppressed his anger and was about to speak. Wu Peifu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I have been in the army for a long time, I have more experience than Li, and I also know some martial arts, so let me go."

Liu Shijiu glared and shouted, "Wu Ziyu, you are such a disrespectful person. Do you still respect me as your uncle? How dare you compete with your uncle for this job? You are such a rebel! No one can compete with me this time. I will definitely be the captain of the death squad."

After being scolded by Liu Shijiu, Wu Peifu could only grin and take a step back helplessly to avoid Liu Shijiu.

After reprimanding Wu Peifu, Liu Shijiu turned to Teng Yuzao with a big smile on his face and said, "Good brother, I will bring you several team leaders in a while. If any of these people dare not obey your orders, I will tear off their heads. Also, almost everyone in my team knows martial arts, so we will never suffer any loss in a close fight with the foreign devils. Even if each of us holds a foreign devil between us, we can still kill them across the river."

Teng Yuzao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, this time we are fighting for the bridgehead of the floating bridge. We need more than just martial arts skills. We also need good marksmanship. Only in this way can we ensure the completion of the mission. Can your people do it?"

Hearing Teng Yuzao say that he also needs good marksmanship, Liu Shijiu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but then he said, "I can't say how many there are, but it shouldn't be a problem to find 30 or 40 people in my team who have good marksmanship. I must go this time."

Seeing that Liu Shijiu insisted again and again, Teng Yuzao hesitated for a while but finally nodded and agreed.

"Brother, you can be the captain of the death squad, but I will arrange an experienced deputy for you."

Liu Nineteen grinned and said, "There's no need to look for a deputy. I think it should be Zi Yu."
