Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 195: Bombs and gunfire! The scorched earth will be sunk a foot

Night falls.

After washing up, Freke thought about taking a good rest.

After returning to the Bian Du Concession, he relaxed a lot.

The place is heavily guarded, so even if the army of the Daqian Dynasty wants to attack it, it won't be easy.

He asked his guards to start preparing dinner.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to eat pizza.

Haven't had pizza in a long time.

This time, a lot of food was transported from the battleship to the Bian Du Concession. I asked the chef to make a pizza so that we can have a good meal tonight.

"Go and call the commanders of the Laotian and South Vietnamese armies. I have something to discuss with them."

Freke gave an order to his guards.

The pizza was quickly ready and placed in front of Freck.

There was also wine freshly shipped from the warship.

Freck was holding a knife and fork, ready to eat.

suddenly,
A loud horn sounded outside the Bian Du Concession.

Toot—toot—!
what happened?

Frake put down his knife and fork and stood up quickly.

I saw the guards running in from outside with a look of panic on their faces.

"Report to the General! Something terrible has happened. The colonial troops outside Bian Du have been attacked!"

Hear the trumpet sound,
The elite Western Allied Forces in the entire Bian Du Concession quickly took action.

They did not appear panicked, but rather a well-trained assembly.

"damn it--!"

Freke couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He picked up the red wine, drank it all in one gulp and said, "Do you know who these people are? How many people are there?"

"Report to the general, according to the news from the outer colonial army, there are more than 10,000 Daqian troops."

Freke's personal guards followed him on his campaigns and fought in many battles.

After he received the news from the front line, he naturally had to understand it clearly before reporting it.

Ten thousand Daqian troops!
If it were in the past, Freke would never take it seriously.

But now it’s different. He was scared to death by the killing at Tanggu Port.

Thinking of the artillery at Ximen Hall, he felt cold all over.

"Let's go! Let's go see what's going on first!"

Freck put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and walked towards the tallest watchtower in the Bian Du Concession.

He used a monocular telescope to take a look at the torches and battle flags in the distance.

Under the light of the blazing torches, the three words on the battle flag were clearly visible.

——Tianwu Army!

"It's the 'Tianwu Army' from the Majiakou stronghold of the Dagukou Fortress, led by Lieutenant General Xiong Chao!"

When Freke saw the battle flag, he narrowed his eyes.

The Western Allied Forces had fought against Xiong Chao's Tianwu Army.

This commander of the Tianwu Army was completely different from Ma Liangkun of the Xiongwu Army and was very calm in combat.

Moreover, he was very familiar with the tactics of the Western coalition forces.

but,

However, Freke never took the Tianwu Army seriously.

Although the Tianwu Army was good at battle formations in the cold weapon era, once it came to hand-to-hand combat, the Western coalition forces were no match.

but,

Under the suppression of super-powerful firepower, the army of the Daqian Dynasty was simply vulnerable.

Just like the last time we faced the Xiongwu Army at Tanggu Port.

Freke almost wiped out the 'Heroic Army' without any effort.

What he fears most now is the 'Ximentang Righteous Group' at Tanggu Port!
When he saw that only the 'Tianwu Army' showed up, Freke breathed a sigh of relief.

Bang bang—bang bang—!
The guns have been fired!
The entire colonial army was equipped with only muskets, no artillery or heavy machine guns.

Because there were 15,000 colonial troops on the outskirts of the Bian Du Concession and they occupied the high ground.

It is simply a dream to want to conquer the Bian Du Concession relying solely on the Tianwu Army.

The guards asked, "General, the fighting has already started outside!"

"The Daqian army is launching a surprise attack at this time. Are they planning to attack Biandu?"

"Or, in other words, they want to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, in order to make General Hunter withdraw his troops and reduce the defensive pressure on the Dagukou Fortress?"

"It seems that General Hunter has joined forces with the reinforcements, which has frightened Ye Zhicheng, the commander of Dagukou Fortress!"

Freck shook his head, took a deep breath and said:
"Not necessarily! It's not that simple!"

"It is impossible for a ten thousand-man Tianwu Army to attack Biandu without any reason."

at this time,

Carlos, who was in charge of border defense, came to Freke.

He asked, "General Freke, the colonial troops on the periphery, without the support of artillery, it will be difficult for them to repel the Daqian army!"

"Should we send five 'Krupp Infantry Guns' and five 'Maxim Heavy Machine Guns' over for support?"

"These Daqian Dynasty troops are simply overestimating their own capabilities!"

"If they dare to attack Biandu tonight, I will make sure they never return. I will destroy them all tonight."

Freck thought about it and looked through the telescope for a while longer.

He nodded and said:

"Carlos, send ten 'Krupp Infantry Guns' and ten 'Maxim Heavy Machine Guns' to the outskirts of Biandu!"

"I want to see what the Daqian army's intention is in attacking our Bian Du Concession!"

"Also, send out the death squad to expand the reconnaissance range to ten kilometers around!"

this moment,
The sense of crisis hovering in Freck's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Yes! General Freke!"

Carlos saluted and turned around to make arrangements!

-

The outskirts of the Bian Du Concession.

Xiong Chao's "Tianwu Army" did not disappoint Chen Jie and soon fought against the colonial army.

The two sides fought very fiercely.

Xiong Chao's personality is completely different from Ma Liangkun's. He is very calm and knows what he wants to do.

Although it seemed that the most intense battle broke out between the Tenmu Army and the colonial army.

But the distance between the two sides was controlled very well.

Xiong Chao was only trying to tie down the colonial army, he had no intention of fighting to the death with them.

Therefore,
The battle losses were so small as to be almost negligible.

He did not attack Biandu, but attacked once, retreated once, then attacked again, and retreated again -!
The harassment tactics prevented the colonial army from acting rashly.

Through the telescope, Freke watched the battle situation outside the Bian Du Concession by the light of the torch.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the appearance of the 'Tianwu Army' here!

Looking at the elite Western coalition forces in the entire Bian Du Concession, they have been fully equipped under Carlos' organization and are ready to go into battle at any time.

Frake breathed a sigh of relief.

With the military strength in the Bian Du Concession, no one should be able to break through here, right?
"I hope the people from Ximen Hall don't show up here, otherwise - it's too dangerous!"

Freck looked up in the direction of Tanggu Port and could only hope that the Hunter coalition forces and the reinforcements from West Germany and the British Empire would be able to hold back the Ximentang rebels.

in the night.

Three kilometers away from the Bian Du Concession.

Chen Jie stood on a high ground and observed the front for a while with a far-infrared telescope.

Looking at the impregnable defense positions and walls in the Bian Du Concession, he sneered and said:

"As expected of the Bian Du Concession, it is heavily guarded. There are three high grounds around it. Who will launch the first wave of attack?"

Ximen Tang speaks with his military achievements.

Want to be promoted, want to get better treatment, want to get a higher status and more power.

Everything else is empty talk; only sufficient military achievements can be convincing.

Chen Jie has created an atmosphere of "military merit first" in Ximen Hall.

of course,

All of this is related to his continuous practice of the Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique.

He wanted to establish a belief for everyone in Simon Hall.

Unconsciously, even Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng were affected.

If they want to maintain their status, they also need to gain military merit.

Although everyone belongs to Ximen Hall, secretly, everyone is a competitor.

We launched the first wave of attack, which is definitely the first credit.

"I'll lead the first attack!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

It was Zhang Dezhi and Xue Qian.

Zhang Dezhi was originally the second in command of Humenfang and was considered a veteran of Ximen Hall.

but,

His martial arts skills were not high, and as Ximen Hall continued to grow, he felt that he was about to fall behind and urgently needed more military merits.

He doesn't have much interest in intelligence matters.

Therefore,
He was assigned to work under Zhang Changfeng and was a member of the 'Eagle Division'.

at this time,

When he saw that Xue Qian was actually trying to compete with him for the first credit, he couldn't help but get anxious.

"Xue Qian, you are already the captain of the special operations team, and you still want to compete with me for the first merit?"

Each member of Xue Qian's special forces team is equipped with an automatic rifle and a mortar.

Any weapons and equipment must first meet the needs of special forces.

Zhang Dezhi had already been drooling with envy.

Hearing that Xue Qian still wanted to compete with him for the first credit, he naturally became anxious.

Xue Qian laughed and said, "Everyone wants to be the first to take the credit. Why can't we, the special forces team, fight for it?"

Chen Jie continued to observe with the telescope for a while and ordered:
"Okay, no need to fight, everyone gets a share!"

After saying this, he instructed Yan Kuangtu beside him:
"Brother Yan, your combat unit, use two hundred cannons to give them a fierce attack!"

"Continuous and uninterrupted bombing without blind spots until all the shells brought are used up."

"Xue Qian, take the special forces team, occupy the high ground, and bomb the arsenal in the Bian Du Concession!"

"Zhang Dezhi, you are responsible for cutting off the support routes inside the Bian Du Concession, although Xiong Chao's Tianwu Army has pinned down the colonial army."

"But the colonial army had the advantage in numbers and also in geography."

"Once Bian Du is attacked from the inside, they will most likely force the colonial army to abandon the periphery and support the interior."

"Quick battle, quick decision. We must take down Biandu within an hour!"

at this time,

All I could hear was the sound of artillery fire in the distance.

Yan Kuangtu frowned and whispered:
"Sir, the colonial army actually received artillery support and heavy machine gun support."

"We must launch the attack quickly, otherwise Xiong Chao's Tianwu Army will suffer a great loss!"

Chen Jie waved his hand and shouted, "Fire!"

Give an order.

The 200 artillery pieces of the war department roared instantly.

This time, only 200 mortars were brought to attack the Bian Du Concession.

The other mortars were stationed at the Tanggu Port to prevent Hunter's coalition forces from counterattacking.

Boom—boom—boom—!
A similar scene occurred outside the Tanggu Port fortifications.

The artillery fire continued!

The entire Bian Du Concession was in chaos.

Fraker heard the gunfire and ducked under an obstacle.

this moment,
He only felt a chill in his spine and cold hands and feet.

coming--!
Simon Tang is really here!
In the Bian Du Concession, there was a burst of artillery fire.

All the elite Western coalition forces were stunned at once.

Screams, shouts, roars, and cannon fire—never ceased!
hum!
Freke suddenly found that all the sounds around him disappeared from his mind.

Next,
He felt dizzy and his feet staggered, almost falling to the ground.

The guards beside him quickly supported him and said in panic, "General, General——!"

Finished!

Freke felt completely hopeless and filled with despair.

Bian Du is about to be lost!
Can't stop!
No army can stop Ximen Tang's artillery attack.

The death squad that was sent out to gather information has received no news.

Now the troops of Ximen Tang Yituan have reached the Bian Du Concession.

It was obvious that all the death squads were wiped out by Ximen Tang, so no news was sent back.

Withdraw!

The Bian Du Concession cannot be defended!
If he was facing other armies, Freck would never have such an idea.

Even if it was an Oriental army, Freck would never think of retreating.

no way,
He had long been frightened by Simon Hall's artillery fire.

He no longer cared about the Bian Du Concession and only wanted to evacuate quickly.

"Retreat! Gather everyone, retreat, we will fight our way out of the Bian Du Concession!"

Freck roared and shouted to the guards around him.

If it were in the past, he might have fought a life-and-death battle with his opponent for the dignity of a top silver knight!
But now, he had no such idea at all.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that there is simply no chance!
Damn——

The overwhelming artillery fire will sink every foot of the scorched earth!
How to fight to the death?

It's no different from committing suicide!

"Yes! General——!" the guard responded.

Zhang Dezhi, along with some brothers from the "Eagle Division", was busy cutting off the support route to the Bian Du Concession.

suddenly,
He found something was wrong.

After a round of artillery fire, the Western coalition forces in Bian Du were almost defeated.

They opened the gate of the Bian Du Concession and broke out directly.

Freck divided his troops into more than a dozen locations, causing Zhang Dezhi to lose his target all of a sudden. He found himself not knowing which army to block from breaking out.

The original 5,000 Western elite troops were bombarded by Yan Kuangtu's "War Department".

At this time, there were less than 500 people left, divided into ten teams, breaking out.

There was chaos all around and the artillery fire continued.

Freck has been keeping an eye on the direction of the breakout from the Bian Du Concession.

at last,

He took advantage of the pause in the artillery fire and rushed out from under the obstacle.

"Break out! Quickly! Break out in the direction of Seymour's army!"

Wow——!
Ten teams of troops rushed to the outskirts of the Bian Du Concession.

Freke, wearing heavy armor and holding a heavy sword in his hand, rushed to the front.

Zhang Dezhi was a little careless and was rushed out from in front of him by Freke, and his defense line was instantly broken.

Can't stop!
When Zhang Dezhi saw the heavy armor on Freke, he quickly realized that the opponent's fighting power was too strong.

The elite soldiers following Freck were all wearing uniform knight uniforms.

This is the most elite Black Iron Knight Army of the Western Alliance!

The iron armor they wear can block attacks from muskets, making them equivalent to heavy cavalry on the battlefield.

"Silver Knight uniform?"

Zhang Dezhi's eyes widened when he saw Freke leading the breakout.

Then,

He shouted, "Be careful! He is the Silver Knight--!"

At this time,
Yan Kuangtu was asking everyone to put away the mortars as all the shells had been used up at once.

suddenly,
He saw a group of people rushing out from the Bian Du Concession, and they actually ran directly to the side and broke through in the direction of Xue Qian's special forces.

Suddenly,

He said to Chen Jie with a smile: "Sir, these guys who broke out from inside are very powerful!"

"This is the heavy cavalry of the Western Allied Forces. It was once the ace unit of the Western Expeditionary Force."

"They were able to break through under artillery fire. Their combat capability should not be underestimated!"

"This heavy armor looks very imposing. I don't know what material it is made of. It can not only block the attack of musket bullets, but even resist the shock waves of artillery shells."

"It's about the same effect as our bulletproof vests."

The shape is certainly very domineering!
This is the Knight Battalion of the Western Alliance!
They are the ace troops in the era of cold weapons, although the Western way of fighting has changed to a new way of fighting with hot weapons.

but,

The Knights' Battalion was not abolished, but instead kept pace with the times and was integrated with artillery and musketeers.

They were all knights, proficient in Western martial arts, and also in the use of artillery and muskets.

suddenly,
Yan Kuangtu's eyes widened as he discovered Freke's trace.

He shouted:

"Xue Qian, stop them, that's Freke!"

He didn't expect that Freke would return to the Bian Du Concession.

This morning, Freck led the charge to the gate of the Tanggu Port fortifications.

Finally, he was injured by a grenade and fled in defeat.

Chen Jie even used a Barrett sniper rifle to try to kill Freck.

Unexpectedly, Aland sacrificed himself to block the bullet, allowing Freck to escape.

at this time,

When Xue Qian heard Yan Kuangtu's voice, he immediately became excited!

He was holding a replica of the A4K47 assault rifle and led the special forces team to face the Black Iron Knight Battalion. He raised his hand and fired a burst of bullets!
Hunk hunk hunk——!
The power of an assault rifle is not like those hammer-fired single-shot muskets.

Freke was originally planning to break out with the remaining elite troops.

Unfortunately, their luck was too bad and they chose to break through from the direction of the special forces.

Plop—plop—!
Freck could only watch the heavily armored cavalrymen around him falling off their horses one after another.
