Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 174: Raid on Biandu! Severe Challenge

Thirteenth Aunt opened another piece of intelligence from the "Undercover Department".

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"The Seymour army transported a large amount of military supplies to the Biandu Concession."

"The Hunter coalition was divided into two parts. One part was the elite of the Western coalition forces, and the other part was the colonial troops from Burma, Yunnan, Laos, South Vietnam, etc."

"The troops stationed inside Biandu are the elite main force of the Hunter coalition, and on the periphery are 35,000 colonial troops."

"Therefore, this attack on the Bian Du Concession needs to be divided into two steps."

"First, we must cut off support from the colonial armies in the outer regions of Burma, Yunnan, Laos and South Vietnam."

"The next step is the main purpose of this raid, to destroy the Bian Du Concession and destroy the Hunter coalition forces."

Everyone present was silent after hearing this.

Although the Hunter coalition was defeated by Simon Hall a few days ago.

But the most important reason was that Simon Hall caught Alande off guard and used artillery fire to cover the entire area from several kilometers away.

Now Hunter has learned the lesson from the last battle and will not underestimate the enemy.

An army of 35,000 people would have to fight hard if they wanted to cut off the aid.

With such a small force, Simon Hall not only had to attack the main force of Hunter's coalition forces, but also had to cut off the support of the peripheral colonial troops.

As a result,
The pressure on Simon Hall was enormous.

The key is that this raid on the Bian Du Concession cannot last too long.

Otherwise, if Seymour's army came to support, Simon Hall would be attacked from both sides and might be completely wiped out.

According to Ximen Tang’s plan, once we attack the Bian Du Concession.

Regardless of whether the Hunter coalition is defeated in this battle, General Ye Zhicheng stationed at Dagukou Fortress will be the biggest beneficiary.

Won!
Ye Zhicheng's memorial was easy to write, stating that it was the garrison at Dagukou Fortress that tied down Seymour's main force.

A great achievement, indisputable!

Lost the fight!
Then Ximen Hall would be gone, and at the same time, Hunter's coalition forces would definitely suffer heavy losses, and both sides would suffer losses!
The general offensive of the Western Allied Forces quickly collapsed, and the pressure on the Dagukou Fortress was much less.

For Ye Zhicheng, he was naturally happy to see such a situation.

Therefore,
If the Bian Du Concession is attacked at this time, Ximen Tang will bear the greatest pressure.

If the attack fails, their fate will be the same as that of the Xiongwu Army, and all previous efforts will be in vain.

Chen Jie glanced around and said in a deep voice:
"No matter what the outcome of this battle is, our Ximen Hall will face the most severe situation."

"If we don't attack the Bian Du Concession, once Seymour's army has assembled and launched a general attack, our fate will be the same as that of the Xiong Wu Army."

"Once we take over the Biandu Concession, Ximentang will have truly secured its position and established its position as the number one righteous group in the Daqian Dynasty!"

Just as Chen Jie said, this attack on the Bian Du Concession could disrupt the Western coalition's general offensive plan.

Then,

The Ximen Tang Righteous Group had a say in the Daqian Dynasty.

The "war factions" such as the Sixth Prince and the Emperor will rise up again.

Ximentang will have greater development opportunities and may even receive strong support from the "war faction".

Even the special organization of Ximentang's "righteous group" will become the core force of the war faction.

Perhaps Ximen Hall could become the core guarding the Dagukou fortress in Tianjin and replace Ye Zhicheng of the Ministry of War.

The entire city of Tianjin was under the jurisdiction of the Ximentang Yituan.

Zeng Xuanhuai lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile:
"I think it would be more effective if we informed the Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Office in advance of the attack plan this time."

"If you want to be strong, you must be strong! General Ye Zhicheng of the Ministry of War hopes that our Ximen Hall can inflict heavy damage on the Westerners, and he also hopes that we can be severely damaged too!"

"At this time, we can ask for benefits from him. The Ministry of War has many industries in Tianjin City. We can take this opportunity to talk to him."

"First ask him for food, if he doesn't have it, ask him for muskets, if he still doesn't have it, ask him for land and property—!"

"If we don't hit him with the bamboo stick now, when will we hit him?"

"We are just the 'righteous group', and they are the regular army of the Ministry of War."

"As long as we don't ask for too much, I believe he will agree. I also think he will secretly reveal our attack plan to the Western Alliance, so that we will both suffer losses."

"Of course, the premise is that we can't let him know our specific plan, and we can't let him know our strength either."

Yan Kuangtu frowned and muttered to himself:
"But, our Ximen Hall, including the newly recruited reserve forces, only has 2,000 people!"

"There are only 500 elite soldiers who can truly fight."

"It's equivalent to every 100 elite troops having to lead 300 reserve troops to fight. It will be extremely difficult to take over the Bian Du Concession! Isn't it too risky?"

Chen Jie looked at the battle map hanging on the wall with a serious face, took a deep breath and said:
“It’s really adventurous!”

"But the situation is getting more and more serious now, we have to take risks!"

"There is still some time before the planned attack on Biandu. Brother Yan, Brother Zhang, your mission is very heavy. You need to strengthen the training of the reserve forces."

"Make sure they can use muskets and artillery!"

It is obvious that Chen Jie had thought carefully about this battle plan.

If you want to defeat a larger force with a smaller one, you must have firepower coverage.

In the first wave of attack, the enemy must be defeated and their artillery and heavy firepower must be destroyed.

What gave Chen Jie a headache was that five Maxim heavy machine guns were actually transported from Western ships to the Bian Du Concession.

The deployment of the Maxim heavy machine gun by Great Britain represented that the firepower of the Western coalition forces was truly overwhelming that of the Daqian Dynasty.

According to the actual combat performance of this heavy machine gun, it is extremely powerful.

In one battle, 50 British soldiers, relying on four Maxim heavy machine guns, fought against a charge of 4 men and killed more than 5000 of them on the spot.

This is a meat grinder on the battlefield, a real killer.

Especially when charging head-on, it is more deterrent than artillery.

What made Chen Jie depressed was that he had not yet received his Browning M2 heavy machine gun.

I didn't expect that Great Britain's Maxim heavy machine gun had already been put into service.

this moment,
Chen Jie became more and more determined to develop a production line for the Browning M2 heavy machine gun.

If Simon Hall could be equipped with a batch of Browning M2 heavy machine guns, it would have enough power to stop the attack of the Western coalition forces.

Next,
Chen Jie clicked on the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, and the remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] were only 44800 points.

When I came here a few days ago, there were only 43300 points left.

During this period, he practiced martial arts hard, and even the eunuch Cao, the chief eunuch, helped him rebuild his martial arts foundation, but he only obtained 1500 points of [Martial Arts Merit].

Only when you are the head of the household do you know how expensive oil and salt are!
If Ximen Tang wants to develop rapidly, it needs a large amount of food and silver.

At the same time, more advanced weapons are needed!
The second stage of the Southeast Asian martial arts arena's 'Black War Tournament' is about to begin.

Chen Jie's mind is now full of [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
He has already consolidated the realm of 'Early Bronze Skin Bright Strength', and with the help of the Soul-Fixing Incense, he began to condense his boxing skills.

Compared to when he was in the Netherlands in Europe, his martial arts level had not improved, and even his spirit-refining realm was still at the 'inner vision' realm.

However, the combat power has more than doubled.

With his current fighting power, he is confident that he can sweep the entire Southeast Asian underground boxing world.

Must obtain more [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
This time when he goes back, he will not only sweep the second stage of the 'Black War Championship' that will sweep the underground boxing world in Southeast Asia.

Simultaneously,

Chen Jie will travel to the Netherlands in Europe again to sweep the other seven major boxing stadiums in the Netherlands' 'Holy Grail of The Hague'.

His goal is to move the production line of 'replica AK47 assault rifles' over here.

In addition, bring the Browning M2 heavy machine gun production line over here!

With these two weapons, plus the fire suppression of mortars, Simon Hall had enough confidence to face Seymour's 100,000-strong army.

After the meeting, Chen Jie gave instructions to Yan Kuangtu, Zhang Changfeng and other core members of Ximen Hall.

He has to go back to the capital, and he will be in seclusion for the next few days!

no way,
If Chen Jie wanted to go back, he could only use the excuse of "retreat".

This is also the reason why he has always created the image of himself as a "martial arts fanatic" in front of everyone.

-

Dagukou Fortress, the General’s Mansion!

Ye Zhicheng was in the meeting hall, watching Ximen Tang hand it over to the Military Affairs Office and at the same time give it to him.

A battle plan.

The battle plan was rough, with no exact time or specific process.

Or,

This is just a combat concept, a train of thought and an idea.

but,

When Ye Zhicheng finished reading, he couldn't help but gasp. "Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, actually wants to raid the Bian Du Concession?"

call!
Ye Zhicheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and showed Ximen Tang's battle plan to his adviser Rong Yu.

He thought about it in his mind and fell into deep thought.

Although the plan was simple, it contained a bold idea.

Ye Zhicheng had to think carefully and wanted to confirm whether Ximen Tang was serious.

Or are you fooling yourself and wanting to get more benefits?

Judging from the current situation, once Ximen Tang attacks the Bian Du Concession, the most intense conflict will break out with the Hunter coalition forces.

According to intelligence, there are currently 50,000 troops stationed in the Bian Du Concession.

Among them, the main force of Hunter's coalition forces with 15,000 people were stationed in the Bian Du Concession, and 35,000 colonial troops were stationed on the periphery.

The Simon Hall is nothing more than a 'righteous group'.

Although during this period, Ximen Tang received strong support from the Grand Council and the "war faction" in the court.

but,

All in all, the Ximen Hall "righteous group" had less than two thousand people.

With such a small number of people, they want to raid the Bian Du Concession. Isn’t this a joke?
He believed that Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, was definitely not a reckless person.

Doesn’t Ximen Tang know that this raid is extremely risky?
in addition,

Ye Zhicheng was naturally aware that he and Ximentang were not on the same side.

Why did Ximen Tang show himself the battle plan before preparing for the raid?
What's the purpose?
I just need to reveal this plan and let Seymour know.

Then,

Ximen Tang's surprise attack on the Bian Du Concession will lead to the most intense siege.

By then, not only will the Western coalition's general offensive plan be delayed, but the "war faction" will also be hit hard!
Even if he acted a little more ruthlessly, he could cut off Ximen Tang's retreat.

After this raid, Ximen Hall will completely disappear from this world.

The five strongholds of Dagukou Fortress are:

Tanggu Port, Haiguang Temple, Yantuo, Chenjiagou, Majiakou!
Before this, the Tanggu Port was guarded by the Xiongwu Army, which was as solid as a rock and could almost ensure the safety of the Dagukou Fortress.

but,

Who could have thought that Ma Liangkun, this incompetent guy, would be provoked to send troops and almost cause the loss of Tanggu Port.

Could it be that the "righteous group" of Ximen Tang is really composed of loyal and courageous people?
Would he rather sacrifice himself than destroy the Western coalition's general offensive?

Do not!
impossible!
People from the underworld can never be trusted!
If he was truly a loyal and courageous man, why did he put forward so many conditions to the Ministry of War?
We need food, guns, and territory—!
It's like a lion opening its mouth.

Ye Zhicheng couldn't believe that all Ximen Tang did was for the sake of national justice.

Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, is indeed a talented person.

With the Kung Fu at the 'Entry Level of Cleansing Meridians' level, he actually killed two leaders of the Axe Gang in succession in the 'Hero Arena' and became the leader of the righteous group in the West District of the capital.

Now that I think about it, the last time the Austro-Hungarian Concession was raided, it should have been done by Ximen Tang.

I have to say that Ximen Hall did a very good job of maintaining confidentiality.

After the Austro-Hungarian Concession was raided, no one thought of Ximen Tang.

Who would have thought that a gang of righteous men could easily destroy the Austro-Hungarian concession?
This time, by supporting the Tanggu Port, Ximen Tang has completely exposed its strength.

to be frank,
Although Ye Zhicheng didn't say anything on the surface, he was still very grateful to Ximen Tang.

If it wasn't for the last moment, Simon Hall stepped forward and repelled Hunter's coalition forces.

Then,

He definitely had a hard time.

hiss--!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhicheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling his mind a little confused.

He found that he could no longer understand the Ximen Tang Righteous Group.

After reading this simple battle plan, counselor Rong Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked up at Ye Zhicheng, took a deep breath and said:
"General, if Ximen Tang really wants to attack the Biandu Concession, it will be beneficial to our garrison at Dagukou Fortress!"

"From a tactical point of view, Ximen Tang's first surprise attack on Biandu is the most effective way to disrupt the general offensive of Ximoer's army."

“Not only can we achieve a surprise victory, but we can also reduce losses.”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that Ximen Tang’s move is very risky, but it is very smart.”

Ye Zhicheng shook his head and said with a deep look:
"This is what I can't understand. Ximentang is just a 'righteous' organization. There is no need for them to take risks!"

"Even if the Western coalition forces enter the capital, these people from the underworld can just walk away."

"Is it necessary to risk being destroyed and raid the Bian Du Concession?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Yu nodded in agreement.

“I also don’t understand why they would do this.”

"Perhaps Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, is a true hero with patriotic righteousness!"

"No matter what the outcome is, it won't do any harm to the general."

Ye Zhicheng nodded slightly and said:

"Okay! Ximen Tang asked for food and muskets, but we can't satisfy them!"

"Reply to them and we can agree to give up another one-third of Tianjin City's industries and land."

"These things are useless to us, and we can't take them away anyway. Since they want them, we can just give them to them!"

"As long as they attack the Bian Du Concession and inflict heavy damage on the Western Allied Forces, they will surely be able to delay Seymour's general offensive plan."

"Once the Ministry of War has deployed 300,000 troops to Zizhulin, our Dagukou Fortress will be able to receive support at any time and will no longer be under such great pressure."

"What we need now is time--!"

-

Ximen Street in Beijing.

After disguising himself and hiding his whereabouts, Chen Jie came to the warehouse in his own mansion.

This time when he went back, he still had no plan to move anything.

[Martial Arts Merit Points] must be used sparingly.

The funds he has are sufficient for now.

In the coming period of time, Ximen Hall will face the most brutal battle.

Prepare for a rainy day!

The production line of the 'imitation AK47 assault rifle' and the Browning M2 heavy machine gun must be moved over.

in addition,

Another hundred tons of grain need to be transported, and another batch of silver dollars also need to be transported over.

After a while.

A desolate voice sounded in his mind.

[Consume 100 martial arts merit points! ]

[The Blood Dragon Jade has been activated, and the Martial Saint Gate has been opened! ]

hum!
A red light appeared and instantly enveloped the surroundings.

next moment,
Chen Jie stepped into the Wusheng Gate and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a dizzy spell, he returned to the secluded place where he had left the Yunnan-Yunnan border before.

He took out his cell phone, checked it, and quickly dialed Lao Yu.

Although I stayed in the 'other world' for ten days this time.

But only one day has passed here.

Tonight is the second stage of the Southeast Asian underground boxing arena's 'Black War Championship'.

"To transport the 'replica AK47 assault rifle' and the production line of bullets, 20 [Martial Arts Merit Points] are required!"

"Tonight's clearance battle only has four boxing matches. I expect to get around 5 points."

"I'm still 10 points short of [Martial Arts Merit Points]. The boxing match at the underground boxing ring in the Netherlands, Europe, will not start for another five days!"

"Where can I go to get more [Martial Arts Merit Points]?"

Chen Jie looked at the remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] of the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, and felt a little anxious.

Whether it is grain, silver coins, or the "imitation AK47 assault rifle" production line.

All of this requires a large amount of [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
Make ends meet!

He was thinking in his mind that he had to open up another channel to obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points].
