Chapter 39 Shelling the Concession

"Boom! Boom!..." Six consecutive loud explosions sounded in the concession, and six grenades fell into the US barracks or nearby areas. The American soldiers who were gathering urgently were stunned by the sudden attack and began to run around to avoid artillery fire. More than a dozen soldiers flew out and fell down in the artillery fire.

"We are under unknown attacks, hurry up and evacuate the barracks!"

"Ah! Ah!..."

The square below the barracks suddenly became a mess. The soldiers ran around in the fire of artillery, screaming loudly. With the sound of cannons, one by one, the broken limbs and the smell of gunpowder were scattered in the surrounding space.

"Boom!" A barracks building was hit, and the center of the stairs collapsed quickly. The soldiers who were still running on the stairs were mixed with gravels and collapsed downwards, screaming constantly.

"Correction of shooting elements and continue shooting!"

"Boom! Boom!...!" A series of explosions sounded in the concession.

"What's going on? Who fired at us?"

After hearing the sound of cannons, the generals and soldiers in the US concession were stunned. Such a huge explosion was not something that ordinary small-caliber artillery fire could do. Only field cannons have such power, and they immediately became panicked.

"Report to Sergeant, the shells were fired from the southern part of Nanshi. The shells directly crossed the city and hit the concession. I don't know who opened fire at us." A soldier said based on the ballistic estimate.

"What kind of cannon is this? Could it be that the Qing army's new army fired the artillery and fired?" A US sergeant was very puzzled, but he knew that Zhang Tiewu, a group of shirtless mobs, could not have such powerful military equipment.

Several teams of people rushed over outside the concession trying to surround Ma Chaoyun's troops were fighting fiercely on the street with Lu Yuzheng's people. Lu Yuzheng relied on obstacles to avoid them and shot each other in the distance, blocking the attack of American and British soldiers on both sides from both sides. At this time, the crowd on the street had already been dodged and was empty. The signs at the doors of several shops were broken and shaking.

"There were gunfire sounds in the concession. What happened? Did those mobs even bring cannons to attack the concession?" The two British and American ranksmen led the concession outside the concession were also shocked.

"We went back to protect the residents of the concession, and some people fired fire at the concession."

The American and British soldiers outside the concession began to give up the encirclement and retreated one after another, retreated from other entrances to the concession, and explored towards the area where the cannon sounded.

A harsh alarm sound in the barracks echoed in the surrounding space. In just a few minutes, hundreds of shells fell into the US barracks.

"After receiving information from the reconnaissance squad, most of the U.S. barracks were destroyed, and soldiers rushed out of a doorway, with their soldiers suffering from casualties of about a hundred people."

"Continue to shell the barracks! Until Ma Chaoyun and Zhang Tiewu's men retreat."

"Let the reconnaissance company report the specific locations of Zhang Tiewu and Ma Chaoyun at all times, and do not injure friendly forces in artillery fire."

The shells continued to rage in the barracks. Some of the American soldiers who were bombed by the shells were not dressed neatly. Before they could carry the guns, they rushed out in the fire of artillery, crowded through one side door to other places in the concession to hide.

Then the gunners of the artillery platoon began to turn the gun mouth and aimed at the 150 British troops on the other side.

"Boom boom boom boom!" One round of shells began to land on the open space near the British army, and the debris of the shells exploded shot towards surrounding buildings and British soldiers.

"Hurry up and find a cover to hide!"

The British second lieutenant immediately issued an order and began to order his soldiers to retreat so as not to be shot dead by dense artillery fire.

"Master Zhang Xiang, I don't know whose artillery fire is supporting us?" Zhang Tiewu's people were also surprised. I don't know who used such fierce artillery fire to support them."

"Boom, brothers, arrest that bastard Smith!" After hearing the sound of cannons, Zhang Tiewu began to get excited as if he was injected with chicken blood, and then ordered to attack Smith's team in chaos.

The people from the Tiandihui began to rush towards the place where Smith fell to the ground in front, shouting loudly.

"Bang! Bang!..." A dense gunfire sounded between the two buildings, and the two sides shot each other. The brothers of the Tiandihui immediately fell down three or four more people. Smith's men were frightened by the shells just now and they had begun to flee in all directions. Then more than a dozen people were shot dead by the people of the Tiandihui who rushed over.

Then several guns pressed against the back of the heads of Smith and another soldier who were bleeding from the ground at the same time. Their hands softened, put down the rifle in their hands and raised their hands.

"I won't accept prisoners of war!" Zhang Tiewu looked at the two of them and pulled the trigger immediately.

"Bang!" The soldier next to Smith was shot and killed.

"Don't kill me, the matter has nothing to do with me!" Smith looked pitiful and begged to Zhang Tiewu with a sad face.

"Chop his hands and make him never be able to carry the gun!" Zhang Tiewu was angry at this time, and of course he would not have any sympathy. He roared at Smith.

"No!" Smith then saw a young man coming over with a machete, and shouted in fear.

"Ah! Ah!" Two miserable screams sounded, Smith's hands and forearms were chopped off, and the blood from the wound could not stop flowing out, and he immediately collapsed and was unconscious.

"Don't worry about him, his blood will die naturally, which will make this kid die a little more painful." Zhang Tiewu looked at Smith, who was gradually closing his eyes, and said.

"Brothers, continue to rush forward and flatten the concession for me!" Huangheshan also had his eyes red at this time. He did not expect any consequences at all. He immediately ordered the people of the Tiandihui to continue rushing forward.

"rush!"

...

Huang Heshan and Zhang Tiewu, with more than 30 people, began to rush forward, and soon rushed to the door of the concession police room, preparing to rush in.

"Click!Click!Click..." A sound of pulling the gun bolt suddenly sounded densely. I saw more than 30 muzzles suddenly exposed on the roof platform of the cell, about ten meters high. A group of American soldiers lined up on the roof of the cell and aimed at the bottom.

Then Huangheshan and Zhang Tiewu turned their heads and saw dozens of guns exposed on the roofs of the two buildings on the left, aiming at their own people.

"Damn, I was ambushed!"

"Put down your guns, otherwise you will kill them!" A foreigner shouted loudly on the roof of the building in broken Chinese.

"What should we do?"

"Brothers, if I were alone here in Huangheshan, I would definitely fight with foreigners. At worst, I would die with them. But my brothers are all people with parents, wives and children. For my sake, more than ten brothers have been sacrificed. How can I bear to let you all follow me to the Hall of Yama?" Huangheshan saw that he was surrounded on three sides, and the remaining side was a wall, and there was no way out, so he immediately said disheartenedly.

"Brothers, put down your guns!"

Although the thirty people from the Tiandihui were unwilling to give up, if they resisted at this time, they would only become targets for others, and they had to throw guns to the ground helplessly.

"Take them all in a cell and take strict supervision!" A US lieutenant then issued an order, took people down the stairs, and came to the door of the building.

"yes!"

Huang Heshan, Zhang Tiewu and others were then taken into the cell by American soldiers.

Ma Chaoyun just saw that Zhang Tiewu was determined to rush into the Yellow River Mountains, and he couldn't hold them back. Then he saw that the foreign soldiers surrounding them had retreated and returned to defend the concession, and immediately took the opportunity to kill him from the gate of the concession.

"Brother Ma, do we ignore brothers Zhang Tiewu?" Lu Yuzheng and others were waiting at the door.

"It's not that you don't save it, but that you should not go to rescue it at this time. Now it's disrupted and the sound of artillery fire has stopped. It is probably because the person who fired the artillery does not want to hurt friendly forces." Ma Chaoyun is a person who cares about strategy and tactics, not a person who acts recklessly based on impulse, and immediately explained.

"There are more than a few hundred foreign soldiers inside. Our number is not enough. Go back first and then make plans."

"Who was the one who fired the gun just now? Why was their artillery fire so powerful? The shells seemed to be fired from the south?" Lu Yuzheng didn't know who fired the gun at a critical moment and helped his troops.

"Maybe it's Mr. Li, you forgot that Mr. Li is someone with high technology in hand. It shouldn't be difficult for him to come up with a few advanced equipment. I've seen a long time ago that he has hidden a lot of things, but he just doesn't want to attract attention."

"Mr. Li is really a loyal person. He has never refused to save him. It seems that our brothers are not wrong."

"This person is someone worthy of dependence. We have caused a big disaster this time, and the superiors will probably not spare us." Ma Chaoyun knew that the matter was getting worse today. He originally wanted to persuade Zhang Tiewu to stop, but he did not expect that they would go to the death regardless of everything and ended up being out of control.

"Foreigners will definitely not give up. They will definitely protest to the Qing government or directly send troops to intervene. At that time, the gang of dogs above will definitely fear the tyranny of the foreigners and directly hand us over to the blame. Where should we go?" Lu Yuzheng also knew that things had become not simple. The public concession was attacked by a large group of people. This was not a trivial matter. It was equivalent to declaring war on the concession countries internationally.

"The only way now is to integrate the 500 brothers from our new military camp and go to join Mr. Li, and he is the only one who can take us in." Ma Chaoyun said calmly after thinking for a moment.
