EBE Chapter 21 Attacking the Concession
Chapter 21 Attacking the Concession
In a luxurious Western-style building in the Fenglin City Concession.
Colonel Joris Vanderhook was sitting leisurely on the sofa, crossing his legs, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, savoring the mellow red wine in it.
Lieutenant Colonel Dirk Jansema beside him looked a little worried, frowned and said, "Colonel Hook, was it inappropriate for you to act like this at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor?"
Colonel Hook raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and replied nonchalantly: "Lieutenant Colonel Saima, why do you have to worry so much?"
"We are the masters of this land. What's wrong with giving them a little warning?"
Lieutenant Colonel Sai Ma was still a little hesitant and continued, "But..."
Colonel Hook interrupted him and said firmly: "No buts! Do they dare to attack us?"
"If that's the case, we only need to blockade their entire sea area. Within a few years, they will be begging for mercy on their knees."
After thinking for a while, Lieutenant Colonel Sai Ma suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion: "But shouldn't Yan Country pay 15 million silver coins as tribute?"
"Why has it become 20 million silver coins now?"
Colonel Hook smiled complacently and explained, "The extra five million will naturally be ours."
"Three million of them belong to me, and the remaining two million will be divided among you."
"After all, we came to this remote place, so we have to get some benefits."
Lieutenant Colonel Sai Ma suddenly realized, a look of gratitude appeared on his face, and he quickly thanked him: "I understand, thank you, Colonel."
Just as they were about to say something, a fierce burst of gunfire rang out in the concession, deafening enough to seem to tear the entire concession apart.
Colonel Joris Vanderhook's face changed and he stood up suddenly, his eyes full of panic and confusion.
He asked anxiously: "What is going on? Do the Yan country's troops really dare to take action?"
Before he finished speaking, a captain suddenly rushed in and reported to Colonel Joris Vanderhook anxiously: "Colonel, something is wrong!"
"Yan Country's troops have already invaded the concession. Our two regiments are completely unable to resist them and are now losing ground!"
Upon hearing the news, Colonel Joris Vanderhook's heart sank and he immediately made a decision: "Hurry, get ready."
"We will leave here immediately, go to the dock and take the warship away, and tell Her Majesty what happened here."
After saying this, he hurried out of the room.
However, before they had gone far, another soldier ran over and shouted breathlessly: "It's bad, it's bad, Colonel, there are Yan country troops everywhere, we can't get out at all!"
Colonel Joris Vanderhook's face turned very ugly. He cursed angrily: "Shit, shit, fuck you, how is this possible?"
"How come Yan Nation's army is so powerful?"
The captain officer at the side also said anxiously: "Colonel, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."
"The Yan country's troops are now blood-thirsty, they will not let any of the Fengche people go!"
Colonel Joris Vanderhook frowned, knowing he had to act quickly to break the deadlock.
He shouted, "Hurry up and send a telegram to the fleet commander, asking them to provide naval artillery support and create a breakthrough for us!"
The communications officer immediately responded, "Yes, Colonel."
Then telegrams were quickly sent requesting the fleet's assistance.
However, they did not know at this time that their fleet had fallen into a fierce attack by three cruisers of Yan State.
In fact, the strength of their fleet stationed here is far inferior to those three powerful cruisers.
Although their combined tonnage was not comparable to that of the three cruisers, they still tried to fight against them.
Once hit by the cruiser's guns, their ships would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
In comparison, the Windmill Country's warships were just a piece of cake for the three cruisers, and their shells were as ineffective as tickling.
At this moment, the people of Yan State suddenly discovered that the army was attacking the concession, and the long-suppressed anger in their hearts was instantly ignited.
The angry crowd rushed towards the Windmill people who had bullied them and beat and kicked them mercilessly.
Some people were even so emotional that they beat the windmill people to death on the spot.
Faced with a large and angry crowd, the windmill men were completely powerless to resist and could only allow themselves to be beaten and injured.
It didn't take long before the three infantry divisions rushed into the concession like a torrent and completely surrounded the entire concession.
There was anger burning in their eyes and weapons were tightly grasped in their hands. As long as they saw someone from the Windmill Country, they would kill him on the spot without mercy.
At this moment, they wanted to wash away the shame they had suffered over the years with blood and death.
At this moment, some soldiers from the Windmill Country finally realized that the situation was not good. They panicked and began to realize that they were in a desperate situation.
So they chose to surrender in the hope of saving their lives.
However, this doesn't change anything.
"I surrender! I surrender! Please spare me!" A soldier from the Windmill Country raised his hands and begged for mercy tremblingly.
But he didn't know that he was destined to become a victim of this massacre.
A squad leader looked at the surrendering Windmill Country soldier indifferently, not moved at all.
He said expressionlessly: "The commander has ordered that no matter whether you surrender or not, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Today the Windmill Nation must pay for their crimes!"
After saying that, he pulled the trigger without hesitation and shot the Windmill Country soldier dead on the spot.
The Windmill Country soldiers were furious when they heard this. They felt insulted.
So they decided to pick up their rifles again and try to resist.
However, doing so would only hasten their demise.
Their resistance was ruthlessly suppressed, and more bodies fell in a pool of blood.
The other Windmill Kingdom soldiers watched in horror as their companions died, their hearts filled with despair.
They understood that they could no longer escape this terrible fate.
So they could only flee everywhere, looking for a chance of survival.
However, under the tight encirclement of three infantry divisions, they had no chance of escape.
"Fuck you! They are rebelling! Her Majesty the Queen will definitely avenge us!"
"Let's fight them!" a Windmill Country soldier roared angrily, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the fierce gunfire.
He was hit by a bullet in the head and fell to the ground dead instantly.
As time went on, the fighting in the concession became more and more intense, with lives being lost every moment.
However, the three infantry divisions did not stop their advance.
They continued to advance deeper into the concession, determined to capture all the enemies in one fell swoop.
