Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 196: A great harvest!
Perhaps it was because Chen Jie had such a profound influence on Xue Qian.

Xue Qian, this kid, likes to imitate Chen Jie the most, as if he also suffers from the "fear of insufficient firepower".

He was holding an automatic rifle, with bullet strips all around his body.

Originally Xue Qian was very small, malnourished and very thin.

After becoming an elite member of the Ximen Hall, his height and weight increased a lot.

His current mental state and physical shape give him a bit of the feel of a top special forces soldier.

at this time,

Xue Qian led the special forces team and launched a head-on attack on Freck's breakout team.

Thirty automatic rifles, firing simultaneously.

With Efrak's bravery, wearing heavy armor and holding a heavy sword, if he met other people, he would be invincible and unstoppable.

but,

It was just bad luck for him to meet Xue Qian's special forces team.

The automatic rifles fired rhythmically, forcefully defeating all the charging heavy cavalry in front of them.

No one can stop the overwhelming force!
Seeing that he couldn't get out, Freke held a thick shield in his hand, turned around, and broke through from the other side.

The other elite Western cavalry rushed out desperately.

The others were not as brave as Freke and were soon knocked off their horses.

At this moment, Freke has pushed the combat power of the peak Silver Knight to the limit.

But just as he got rid of Xue Qian's special forces, he was surrounded by Zhang Dezhi's grenades.

Wait until he moves sideways again and tries to break through.

suddenly,
He found that the surroundings had become unusually quiet.

Not far from him,
A young man, surrounded by a dozen guards.

The battle around them was coming to an end, and they were soon surrounded in a circle.

When we first broke out, there were still nearly 500 elite soldiers.

But now, there are less than fifty people left around.

Xue Qian led the special forces to block Freke's retreat and laughed wildly:
"Catch him alive! Hahaha——!"

If we can capture Freke alive, it will definitely be a great achievement.

All those who participated in the attack on the Bian Du Concession were awarded a large amount of military merit.

"Surrender! I will spare your life!"

Chen Jie stood at the front and shouted to Freke.

He was afraid that the other party couldn't hear him, so he shouted in English.

Ever since Freke escaped last time, Simon Hall's "undercover" has investigated Freke's background thoroughly.

If this most powerful French general could surrender, it would definitely be a heavy blow to Seymour's coalition forces.

Simultaneously,

The capture of a leading general of the French coalition forces had a great impact on the entire war situation.

Freck looked around desperately and found that the few remaining elite soldiers around him were all looking at him.

call--!
Freck took a deep breath, suddenly untied his armor, and placed the heavy sword on the ground.

Next,
He knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Jie and said loudly:
"Dear Lord Ximen Tang, I am willing to lay down my weapons and surrender!"

For a top silver knight, surrendering means the collapse of his faith.

but,

If you don't surrender, it means the end of your life.

Between faith and life, Freke chose life!
This may be the characteristic of the French army.

If you can't win, surrender!
For Freck, it didn't seem that hard to accept.

“Tie him up for me—!”

Chen Jie gave an order.

Wow——!
The guards around him stepped forward and tied Freke up with ropes.

After capturing Freke, everyone in Simon Hall began to clean up the battlefield.

Chen Jie was delighted by the military supplies stored in Bian Du's warehouse.

More than 20,000 muskets!
100 Krupp infantry guns;
50 Maxim heavy machine guns;
Bullets and shells piled up like mountains.

There are also daily necessities such as food, beef, red wine, etc.

Fortunately, the armory was not blown up, otherwise the loss would have been huge.

They cleaned up the mess in the Bian Du Concession, and even recruited Xiong Chao's troops to empty the entire Bian Du arsenal.

When Xiong Chao saw Ximen Tang’s harvest this time, his eyes lit up with envy.

Chen Jie knew that the most lacking thing for the Tianwu Army of the Ministry of War was food.

Therefore,
After he promised to give all the seized food to Xiong Chao, Xiong Chao felt a little better.

There were too many things, and it would be impossible to move them all with only the more than a thousand people in Ximen Hall.

What's more, the elite soldiers of Ximen Hall needed to carry their own mortars and move the things in the Biandu warehouse, which was very strenuous.

Xiong Chao's Tianwu Army suddenly became a baggage service unit.

Next,
Chen Jie burned down the Bian Du Concession, an armament transit station carefully built by the Seymour coalition forces.

It was already early morning when we finished all this.

Chen Jie led everyone back to Tanggu Port.

Have a safe journey!
When we returned to Tanggu Port, it was already four o'clock in the morning and the sky in the east was beginning to turn white.

Chen Jie asked everyone to rest and sent all the seized items to Ximentang’s arsenal at Tanggu Port!
The military equipment seized this time not only weakened the Western coalition forces, but also gave Ximen Tang the capital to continue expanding.

-

Boom—boom—!
Tianjin Dagukou Fortress, Haiguang Temple!
Hunter's coalition forces joined forces with the armies of West Germany and the British Empire and began to attack Haiguang Temple.

The bombardment continues!

Although the reinforcements from West Germany and the British Empire did not arrive as expected, the number of 10,000 only reached 5,000 people.

but,

Hunter was confident that he could take over Haiguang Temple in one fell swoop.

The armies of West Germany and the British Empire are undoubtedly the most powerful armies under Seymour's army.

The elite among the elite!

Their artillery fire was extremely fierce and their attack was like a storm.

The garrison at Haiguang Temple in Dagukou Fortress could not stop the iron torrent of the Western Allied Forces.

In less than half an hour of attack, the entire Haiguang Temple was about to be captured.

But soon,

Hunter discovered something was wrong!
When the sun rose in the east, an artillery attack suddenly occurred behind the Western Allied Forces.

Just like what happened at Tanggu Port yesterday, the power of the artillery was terrifying.

Although the intensity of the artillery fire was far less than that of the Tanggu Port.

However, it posed a great threat to Hunter's coalition forces.

What Hunter didn't know was that Chen Jie raided the Bian Du Concession and returned to the Tanggu Port.

When he heard that the Hunter coalition was preparing to attack Haiguang Temple, he immediately organized elite troops and rushed towards Haiguang Temple without stopping.

After determining the location of Hunter's coalition forces, Chen Jie did not use any tactical tactics and simply covered them with artillery fire.

In the face of overwhelming artillery fire, no tactics were of any use.

Simple, efficient and direct!
No matter what, let's launch a bombing first!
Hunter was stunned by the sudden artillery fire!
“Shit—shit—!”

He was like an enraged wild beast, his eyes were red, he was unwilling to give in, and he kept roaring.

The house leaked but it rained all night, the boat broke and the wind blew!

Just when Hunter's coalition forces were dizzy from the explosion, a cavalryman from the Western coalition suicide squad rode over from a distance.

"General Hunter! It's bad—it's bad!"

After the cavalry dismounted, they crawled to Hunter's front.

Several bodyguards nearby stepped forward and supported the cavalryman.

"General Hunter! The Bian Du Concession is over!"

"Last night, the border crossing was attacked and the 5,000 elite defenders were completely wiped out. The colonial troops on the periphery were also defeated and fled!"

"General Carlos was killed on the spot, and the entire Bian Du Concession was hit by heavy artillery fire!"

Om-!
Hunter just felt his head buzzing.

The other generals around him were completely dumbfounded when they heard the news.

"How could Bian Du be attacked by artillery fire? Could it be that the Japanese went back on their word and raided the armament depot in our Bian Du Concession?"

The death squad cavalryman who came to report the news shook his head and said, "No! They are not Japanese, but soldiers from Daqian. The ones who attacked the colonial troops outside Biandu are Daqian's 'Tianwu Army'!"

puff--!
Hunter suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.

this moment,
He just felt dizzy.

How could this be?
The defenders of Haiguang Temple suddenly saw the Hunter coalition forces stop attacking and retreat like the tide.

Everyone was stunned!
The Western coalition forces were about to break through the defenses of Haiguang Temple, so why did they suddenly retreat?
I don't understand!
The commander stationed at Haiguang Temple cried with excitement when he saw the Western coalition forces retreat!

As long as the Haiguang Temple of Dagukou Fortress was lost, the Western Allied Forces would march straight in, form a roundabout encirclement, and destroy the entire Dagukou Fortress.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, the Westerners actually retreated!

Chen Jie led the elite troops of Ximen Hall and launched a round of artillery fire, defeating the Hunter coalition forces once again. When they saw the Western coalition forces retreating and starting to evacuate towards the Bund.

He and Yan Kuangtu looked at each other and smiled.

Westerners are scared!

After Hunter woke up, he looked at the generals around him.

He ordered everyone to lead their teams to retreat to the Bund, even the West German and British Empire forces had to retreat.

There’s nothing I can do, I’ve met a tough guy!
Suddenly, a group of Ximentang righteous men emerged from the Daqian garrison, and their fighting power was terrifying.

Not only did they strike hard at the Hunter coalition twice in a row, but they also dealt a heavy blow to the Hunter coalition forces.

Now they are going to wipe out the Bian Du Concession in one fell swoop!

Lost!

At this moment, Hunter also understood.

The Austro-Hungarian Concession was also raided by Ximentang.

call--!
Hunter put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked up at the direction of Simon Hall's artillery fire.

Bian Du was lost, and he was to blame!

He should bear the main responsibility for the disastrous defeat of the Western Allied Forces.

He felt ashamed of General Seymour's trust and of all the elite Western soldiers who lost their lives.

He ordered everyone to retreat, even his personal guards. He ordered them all to retreat.

but,

The guards did not leave, but stayed by his side to protect him.

Everything is settled!
Hunter looked at the less than fifty guards left around him, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Chen Jie was on a distant high ground, looking at the fleeing Western coalition forces through a telescope with a smile on his face.

It seems Hunter has learned his lesson.

As long as Simon Hall's artillery battalion can bombard for another ten minutes, Hunter's coalition forces will be wiped out once again.

Even the armies of West Germany and the British Empire will be completely annihilated.

Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng, who were standing nearby, saw the fleeing Western coalition forces and said impatiently:

"Sir, these bastards are about to run away!"

"Let's go stop them. We must kill them all today, leaving no one alive!"

Yan Kuangtu had been beaten and fled in panic by the Western coalition forces and suffered a great loss.

When he was in Shandong, the vanguard camp of 3,000 people was defeated and only less than 300 people were left.

Now the situation has changed, and he is very inflated and extremely fanatical.

Chen Jie stopped him and said:
"Don't chase after desperate enemies! These fleeing people are all elite troops from West Germany and the British Empire. They are well-equipped with heavy machine guns and artillery!"

"Although they were defeated and fled, they still numbered several thousand."

"We were able to defeat them because of the power of our artillery. If we really charged head-on, we wouldn't be able to defeat them with such a small number of people!"

"Wait for a while. When our Ximen Hall's power develops to a certain extent, there will be plenty of opportunities to defeat them."

Ximen Tang wanted to guard the entire Dagukou Fortress and become a dominant force.

Relying on only two thousand people is simply not enough.

Even with superior firepower, two thousand men were still too few.

"Eh? Sir, why didn't Hunter escape with the main force?"

Zhang Changfeng observed through the telescope for a while and said in surprise.

Chen Jie quickly observed through a telescope.

The remaining members of the Western Allied Forces all retreated towards the Bund.

but,

Hunter, with his personal guards, holding high the Allied flag, actually stopped instead of retreating.

It seems,
He wanted to cover the retreat himself and let everyone else retreat first.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "He is asking for death!"

Next,
Everyone saw Hunter, with dozens of personal guards, holding muskets, charging in the direction of the artillery fire from Ximen Hall.

Yan Kuangtu sneered and said, "You even threw away your armor and went into battle lightly. You are seeking death and don't want to be captured by us!"

Chen Jie turned to Xue Qian beside him and said:

"Xue Qian, bring your special forces team and give them a quick death!"

"Although we are enemies, Hunter is still a man. Give them a decent death!"

"Letting them die on the battlefield is the highest respect for them!"

Xue Qian saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

After saying that, Xue Qian led the special forces team and rushed towards Hunter.

Bang bang—bang bang—!
When he saw Xue Qian's special forces setting up the 'Maxim heavy machine gun' that had just been seized from the Bian Du Concession in front of him, Hunter laughed bitterly:
"General Seymour, I have failed you!"

Next,
He swung the sword in his hand against the wind and shouted to the guards around him:
"All the warriors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, charge!"

Give up one's life for righteousness!

At this moment, the Maxim heavy machine gun fired wildly!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!
Everything will be reduced to ashes——!
-

Dagukou Fortress.

With the defeat and retreat of the Western Allied Forces, things became very busy.

In particular, the defense zone of Haiguang Temple was almost breached by Hunter's coalition forces.

but,

The entire Tanggu Port was very calm.

Not only is the construction proceeding in an orderly manner, but recruitment for Simon Hall is also ongoing.

Zeng Xuanhuai was extremely busy.

After the war, he hardly had a good night's sleep.

As Chen Jie's right-hand man, Zeng Xuanhuai has to deal with too many things.

but,

Although he was very tired, he was in high spirits, handling various matters in Ximen Hall.

In the past, he was just a clerk under the Grand Council, just a clerk!
How could I be in such a high position and with such power as I am now?

Chen Jie authorized Zeng Xuanhuai to handle many affairs of Ximen Hall.

Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng also became very busy.

They need to continuously recruit elite troops for the expansion of the 'War Department' and the 'Eagle Department'.

Chen Jie, on the contrary, had some free time.

With Hunter executed and Flake captured.

This round of battle is over.

-

The next evening, Chen Jie returned to the Ximen Hall headquarters camp in the capital.

He just wanted to take a nice bath and then have a good sleep.

Since the Western Allied Forces attacked the Tanggu Port, Ximen Tang sent troops to support.

Chen Jie's nerves were tense.

In particular, the Hunter coalition assembled tens of thousands of troops and attacked the Tanggu port for the second time.

The situation is very serious for Ximentang.

but,

The battle is finally over!
Chen Jie lay in the bucket, taking a medicinal bath, and let out a long breath.

I can finally relax.

From the time when Ximen Tang was guarding the Tanggu Port, until he activated the Wusheng Gate and returned to Yangon, Myanmar, and Yunnan in Southeast Asia, he fought in the underground gambling boxing "Black War Tournament".

Then they would have a big battle with Hunter's coalition forces.

Immediately afterwards, they raided the Bian Du Concession and captured Freke, the most powerful French general.

Finally, they launched a counterattack, defeated Hunter's coalition forces, and killed Hunter.

Tired of running around, physically and mentally exhausted!
The ending was perfect in the end, everything went according to plan without any mistakes.

Next,
That is to capture the entire Dagukou Fortress and all of the Ministry of War’s industries in Tianjin and its surrounding areas.

Ximen Hall needs to develop vigorously. It is far from enough to rely solely on the "Blood Dragon Jade" to transport materials across the two worlds.

Independent development is necessary to solve various resource problems.

With the defeat of Hunter's coalition forces, the West German and British Empire coalition forces were defeated.

Next,
Seymour's general offensive time has been disrupted, and Simon Hall will usher in a period of stable development.

One month, or two months, or maybe half a year!
According to Chen Jie's judgment, the situation of a war between the Japanese and the northern Russians in the Northeast was also developing.

The Western coalition forces will not remain calm for long, and will soon make a comeback.

Chen Jie was no longer nervous about the upcoming battle.

Ximen Hall has passed the most difficult period and will only become stronger and stronger.

The Eastern Army, the Northern Russian Army, the Western Allied Forces——!
All of you go to hell!

Chen Jie lay in the wooden tub of medicinal bath, putting aside the thoughts in his mind and allowing himself to completely relax.
