"How is it possible?"

William was shocked and scared. For the first time, he saw such an advanced musket in this world. He didn't have to work hard to load gunpowder and projectiles from the muzzle, and could achieve continuous shooting by pulling and pushing.

"What the hell is this? How come you can still hit it so far?"

William didn't know that it was called a Weiguo rifle, and he didn't have time to think about it. A cannonball roared and heard a loud bang that instantly lifted him away.

puff!

William was facing downwards, and a dog snatched his poop and fell to the ground. He ate a mouthful of mud and sand, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and two of his front teeth fell.

"Will there be such powerful artillery fire?"

William's front teeth were gone and he spoke airily, so he couldn't get a clear pronunciation.

But no one heard William's words because the guns were too loud.

Of course, even if someone hears it, he will not pay attention to William. Because the foreign soldiers around him have long been stunned at this moment. Originally, these foreigners from Europe and the United States joined the so-called Concession Self-Defense Force to plunder the common people in Shanghai. Now the Concession Self-Defense Force has been surrounded and annihilated by the Shanghai army. A discerning person can tell at a glance that he is going to be finished. What he thinks of is running away at this moment.

In an instant, the battle formation of the Self-Defense Force in the Concession was in chaos, and no matter how the regular officers and soldiers of Britain and France organized it, it would be useless.

At this moment, adventurers from all over the country fled in scattered for their own lives, which intensified the defeat of the Concession Self-Defense Force.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Town of Shanghai were in neat formation, holding Chinese-style rifles in hand, steadily advancing forward.

Raise the gun, aim, fire, pull the bolt to remove the shell, pull the bolt to apply bullets, and then aim to open the fire.

This series of actions is uniform, and the high-efficiency shooting speed and hit rate of the Guardian rifle were at its peak at this moment, making these foreigners from Europe and the United States unable to fight back, and were shot and fell to the ground one by one. They suffered heavy casualties.

"Stop fighting! I surrender!"

Finally, foreign adventurers began to surrender and surrendered to the Shanghai army that was rushing towards them.

However, what awaits them was the ruthless bullets and bayonets.

"What did he just say?" asked a Shanghai soldier.

"He said he would kill him if he had the guts!" the comrade next to him replied.

"I am a foreign devil! I dare to call me! Go to die!" When the soldier heard this, he immediately pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet, and burst the foreign devil who was about to surrender with a bang.

More foreign adventurers began to shout for surrender, but most of them did not understand Chinese and begged for mercy in the messy language of various countries. They were still waiting for them with a bullet.

"kill!"

"Kill the foreign devils!"

With the chaos in the Concession Self-Defense Forces, the soldiers of the Shanghai Army rushed up quickly and launched close-range hand-to-hand combat.

Except for some regular British and French troops who resisted fiercely, other adventurers from Europe and the United States were simply vulnerable.

The battle ended within five minutes. Faced with the pressure of Mount Tai, the fourth town of the Shanghai Army, and the powerful attack of thunder, William temporarily formed a concession self-defense force, and more than 10,000 foreign soldiers were wiped out.

On the Hongkou Highlands, Chen Liang clearly saw all this through a telescope.

"Okay! Cut hard! Kill these damn foreigners! That's great! It's so fucking satisfying!"

Chen Liang shouted, and the command members around him looked at each other, but soon they all smiled.

Is there anything more joyful than killing foreign devils?

"Order the 13th Regiment to quickly attack the Concession through Suzhou Bridge, and the 15th Regiment and the 16th Regiment respectively encircled the French Concession from Nanshi and Huangpu respectively. We must eliminate all the foreign devils who dared to resist!"

Chen Liang quickly issued an order, since the Self-Defense Force in the Concession was resolved, the rest was to quickly capture the British and French concessions and completely eliminate the resistance forces in the concession.

"Report"

At this moment, a sudden report came. Chen Liang turned around and saw that it was Du Erniu, the leader of the 14th Regiment.

"Speak!"

Du Erniu hurriedly said: "Report to the division commander! The 14th Regiment requested to participate in the war!"

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "By the way, forget your regiment, hurry up and clean the battlefield! This gun wasted a lot of ammunition. I don't know if the oil and water on these dead foreigners can be replenished!"

Du Erniu was stunned and immediately said, "Report, please let other regiments clean the battlefield! Our 14th regiment should not be a reserve team, we are also the main regiment. We want to fight the concession!"

Chen Liang immediately cursed: "You guys, I'm assigned a task, how dare you talk back? How dare you pick on me?"

"Please allow our 14th Regiment to attack the concession!" Du Erniu shouted, and insisted on his position without fear.

"You're still excited, right?" Chen Liang saw that Du Erniu was dissatisfied, and he immediately became angry and wanted to beat someone up.

At this time, Chief of Staff Hai Mingze hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old Chen, you take a break, don't Du Erniu want to make a contribution? All other regiments have participated in the battle, and only their regiments are the reserve team. How can he not be jealous?"

Chen Liang turned to Hai Mingze and said, "If you want to make contributions, you dare to challenge me! You are jealous? Why are you jealous? I asked him to take the 14th Regiment to clean the battlefield. That's a fat man. It would be nice if others don't jealous, and he would still jealous of others?"

Du Erniu is a powerful general under Chen Liang, and the 14th Regiment is also the elite main group of the fourth town of the Shanghai Army. He let the most powerful main group be the reserve team, which also continues the combat ideas of Li Weiguo, commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army.

Du Erniu curled his lips and said, "We don't want to clean the battlefield. Please hand it over to other regiments. We just want to kill foreign devils!"

Chen Liang immediately said angrily: "You are still ashamed, right? Believe it or not, I will suck you!"

"Okay! Okay!" Hai Mingze saw that these two of them were stubborn radishes, so he hurriedly stopped Chen Liang.

Hai Mingze glanced at Du Erniu and saw that the other party was still looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Du Erniu is the most distressed and trustworthy general Chen Liang relied on the most. The 14th Regiment is also the pillar of the fourth town of the Shanghai Army. During the annual military exercises of the Shanghai Army, the 14th Regiment repeatedly showed his might in the fourth town, and was known as the Tiger Regiment of the Shanghai Army.

This awesome team leader really has a great temper and dares to beat the teacher.

Although Chen Liang and Du Erniu have a quarrel, the relationship is still very strong.

Hai Mingze, who knew this well, advised Chen Liang: "Old Chen, it's better for Commander Du to join the battle. The main group will clean up the battlefield, which will also damage the majesty of our fourth town!"

"That's it!" Du Erniu snorted as he took advantage of the situation.

Chen Liang glared at Du Erniu fiercely and said to the Chief of Staff: "Lao Hai. Good steel is used on the blade. In my eyes, these so-called Concession Self-Defense Forces are just miscellaneous troops. I am hiding the 14th Regiment now, which is to fight to the death with the main force of the British, French and American coalition forces. Of course, I can't take it out now."

Hai Mingze smiled and said, "Old Chen, I think you don't have too much hope. Since the commander-in-chief agrees to let our fourth town attack the concession, it is probably not our turn to fight the British, French and American coalition forces in the concession. This Shanghai county has the first town of the First Army. Commander Zhang will not give the main attack to our fourth town, it must be the first town."

"So what?" Chen Liang was unwilling to give up and still had a glimmer of hope.

Hai Mingze said: "Teacher Song Yunhan, who is guarding the palace, has put in a lot of efforts in his second town. They have paid a considerable price to lure these foreign devils out. If we don't give them any benefits in cleaning the battlefield, it will be difficult for him to do things in the future."

Chen Liang said: "Then Chief of Staff, what do you mean?"

Hai Mingze smiled and said, "Leave the matter of cleaning the battlefield to Commander Song. The equipment and treatment of their second-line troops are enough to just clean the battlefield in the concession!"

Chen Liang nodded and said, "That's right. Let's hand over the battlefield here to Song Yunhan first, so that he can run to the concession to share dividends with us!"

It turned out that Chen Liang was worried that Song Yunhan would like to ask him for more benefits, so he simply handed over the battlefield in front of him to Song Yunhan, and Song Yunhan, who was in charge, intervened in the concession.

In this way, the 14th Regiment no longer has to clean the battlefield.

Soon, Chen Liang issued an order to Du Erniu, asking him to lead the 14th Regiment to fight to attack the British and French Concessions.

At this moment, the battle in the concession has begun.

There were few foreign troops left in the British and French Concessions. More than 20 Shanghai frigates entered the Suzhou River, and two rivers in Lujiabang went up, and naval guns violently bombarded the British and French Concessions. The foreign houses were destroyed.

Among them, the British Embassy was the focus of care, and was bombarded by hundreds of shells in less than three minutes. The entire British Embassy was blazing with flames and thick smoke rolling.

It is logical that the Shanghai army should not attack the British embassy. Because according to European and American international law, the embassy should be protected. Unfortunately, the Qing Empire was not a contracting party, which made the Shanghai army dare to blatantly shell the British embassy.

Of course, except for the British Embassy, ​​the French Embassy did not escape the misfortune. Because the French Embassy was as crazy as the British Embassy, ​​they were built on the riverside and were directly within the range of artillery fire from the Shanghai warships.

Whether in the British Concession or the French Concession, there were not many troops left, with less than 1,000 people in total, and they were temporarily acted by adventurers from various EU countries, because the regular troops of the British and French protection embassies were pulled out by William.

The 15th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the Fourth Town of the Shanghai Army was the first to invade the British Concession, and then the 16th Regiment of the French Concession. By the time Du Erniu's 14th Regiment arrived at the Concession, the battle had ended.

Whether in the British Concession or the French Concession, all foreigners were arrested and concentrated, and the first foreigner concentration camp in Chinese history was established. The location was the Gomarley Church School in the British Concession. More than 30,000 foreigners were imprisoned in the entire playground, most of whom were women and children, because many of their men joined the Concession Self-Defense Force and died on the battlefield.

The detained foreigners came from all over the world. Although protests were heard one after another, they soon chose to surrender under the bayonets and fists of the Shanghai army.

"I ask to see Li Weiguo!"

At this time, a voice caught the attention of the Shanghai soldiers.

"My name is Pete, and I am a friend of Li Weiguo. Please take me to see him. I have important things to tell him!"

This man was Peter. He did not go out to the concession with William, but stayed to defend. Unfortunately, that little man could not defeat the Shanghai Army soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. He surrendered directly.

At this moment, the concession had been completely occupied by the Shanghai army. William had not seen his troops come back for a long time. Peter had already understood that William had been defeated, so he had to meet Li Weiguo immediately because he was worried that Li Wei would massacre tens of thousands of foreigners in the concentration camp. After all, this is not Europe, and European rules have no binding force on Li Weiguo.

However, Peter was sad. When he said he was Li Weiguo's friend, he was not the preferential treatment of prisoners of war, but two stocks.

Huh!

Pete's head was bleeding and he was immediately knocked unconscious.

After two Shanghai soldiers knocked Pete out of the air, they spat and were about to leave.

At this time, another foreign voice stopped them.

"Two officers, please forgive me for asking, is your commander-in-chief Li Weiguo the magistrate of Chongming County five years ago?"

The person who spoke was a British man with a pale face and thin skin, sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He spoke in Chinese, and his attitude was respectful.

Two Shanghai soldiers glanced at the British man, nodded at the same time, and asked: "That's right, what are you asking about our Commander-in-Chief? Do you also want to say that you are our Commander-in-Chief's friend?"

"No, no! Don't get me wrong! What I meant!" The British man was so scared that he knelt down when he saw two Shanghai soldiers holding up their butts. However, he saw that the two Shanghai soldiers just now smashed Pitt's head and fell to the ground with blood. The hero did not suffer any loss in front of him, and he didn't want to follow in Pitt's footsteps.
