At noon that day, dozens of Carter D-4 bulldozers from the engineering battalion unloaded the train and began to station in Hudu to clean up the Fuso Concession.
The huge steel shovel pushed a large amount of minced meat mixed with blood plasma, broken limbs and arms into the shell crater. Nearly 50,000 Fuso people died in a foreign land without any bones left.
At the same time, Lu Xiaojia asked the Shanghai Municipal Government to issue a statement to the Public Concession and the Gaul Concession.
These foreign devils were given 2 hours to unconditionally return the concession, disarm all armed forces in the concession, and the military personnel surrendered their weapons, otherwise the Fusang people would be their fate.
Inside the John's Ministry of Industry Bureau in the Public Settlement.
"Damn it, this Lu Xiaojia can't figure out his position at all. He actually dares to threaten us and ask us to surrender unconditionally tomorrow. These Orientals don't even know the power of our warriors who never set on the sun!" Venters, as the ambassador of John State, , he felt insulted on himself and the country behind him.
As a veteran power, John's Royal Navy is outstanding among the powers. It has colonies all over the world and is such a powerful country.
Now to be threatened by a small warlord from a backward country is something that no one can bear.
Colonel Jess was even more arrogant: "Ambassador Venters, please rest assured that our warriors of the Royal Grenadier Battalion will not succumb to a mere Chinese warlord. And I guess this Lu Xiaojia is just talking, he has no such Have the guts to provoke our John Kingdom.”
"He just relies on those two heavy cruisers and dozens of heavy guns. Our Royal Navy of John has more than 700 warships of various types. It is definitely not something that his two cruisers can resist."
This was Jace's confidence, he believed in the deterrent power of their Royal Navy fleet.
"I think Colonel Jess is right. He is just a local warlord, but we should be vigilant. I think it is necessary for Gaul and Sam to unite with us." Albert, deputy director of the Public Affairs Bureau, also said his own The idea is to unite the other 2 powers.
Venters put out his cigar, "Albert is right. As long as we unite with Sam and Gaul, no country in the world dares to mess with us."
The strength of the navies and armies of John, Sam, and Gaul were among the best among all the great powers.
Not long after, after receiving the news, the leaders of Gaul and Sam also arrived at the John Ministry of Industry Bureau.
Several forces discussed and reached a consensus that the concession must not be allowed. Only with the existence of the concession can foreigners like them be unrestricted and act recklessly in China and take human life lightly.
As for the disarmament of forces, all military personnel will hand over their weapons and surrender unconditionally.
In response to this request, the Gallic Ambassador Fran smiled coldly and said: "This Lu Xiaojia is really short-sighted. He doesn't understand the unyielding spirit of France at all. Surrender is humiliating to us Gauls, and our country of Gaul will never compromise!"
Colonel Albert of the 23rd Gallic Infantry Regiment also expressed his firm position:
"The soldiers of our 23rd Infantry Regiment have begun to build fortifications. They will defend the concession to the death. I believe that the will of my soldiers can definitely stop these barbaric Chinese!"
Seeing this, the ambassadors of the two countries had a firm attitude and expressed that they would fight to the end.
Because they concluded that Lu Xiaojia would never break out and use naval guns and heavy artillery to bombard them. This would offend the three most powerful countries.
The most he can do is to find ways to create friction and provocation. You have to know that there are four to five million innocent Chinese people in the Gaul and Public Concessions. These are all his compatriots. How can he be so cold-blooded?
…
Inside the Hudu Police Headquarters
"Hahaha, these foreigners are really lighting lanterns in a cesspool, and the Gaul country has issued a statement that it would rather die than surrender?" Lu Xiaojia couldn't help but laugh out loud, the Gaul country would rather die than surrender, what kind of international joke are you making on me.
Lin Yi also gave his own suggestion, "Commander, it is said that soldiers from Gaul, John, and Sam have built fortifications. We should not use heavy artillery to bombard the public and Gaul concessions, and then launch an attack."
"Don't worry, these two concessions are more than eight times larger than the Fuso Concession, and there are too many Chinese people in these two concessions. Wouldn't using heavy artillery kill a lot of Chinese people? You let the armored regiment do it first. Be prepared."
After saying that, Lu Xiaojia opened the information on the table.
This is the importance of intelligence agencies. Lu Xiaojia can easily know the background of these Western powers.
But these stupid foreigners were unable to find out Lu Xiaojia's background. Of course, the main reason was that these Western powers did not pay much attention to the intelligence work in the East.
According to the information from the Hans Kingdom, the failed art student was actually imprisoned for only 2 months, and now the art students have formed a "stormtrooper" and are giving speeches throughout the Hans Kingdom to canvass votes.
I believe that in a few years, Hans will definitely make a comeback, and then Gaul and John will suffer!
Report on troops and equipment in the Hudu Concession
John State has about 700 infantry, 500 artillery, and 12 QF 2.95-inch mountain guns as heavy weapons.
The Gallic State has approximately 1,700 infantry, 100 armored personnel, and 6 heavy weapons Renault FT-17 tanks.
Sam's country has about 500 infantrymen and no heavy weapons.
…
Seeing this little thing, Lu Xiaojia thought to herself, does this still require heavy artillery bombardment?
It's not necessary at all, just press the King Tiger up and stop where you are to remove the firepower point.
These Westerners are strong and strong, so they are a good choice to serve as free miners.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, 24 King Tiger tanks, 48 SdkfZ234 eight-wheeled heavy armored vehicles, and more than 3,000 soldiers marched into the public and Gallic concessions in two directions.
Xu Baihui Road is the main road section at the junction of the Chinese and Gallic Concessions. Two companies, about three to four hundred Gallic soldiers, are responsible for defending here.
"Buzz buzz"
A soldier holding a Lebel M1886 rifle and hiding behind a sandbag on guard duty vaguely heard the sound of an engine roaring in the distance, "Captain Chatham, there seems to be a situation ahead!"
"Oh, is this Lu Xiaojia serious?" Chatham muttered, putting down the baguette in his hand and pulling out the MAS revolver. "Calm down, soldiers, you are proud French soldiers!"
After saying that, he took out his telescope and observed. When he saw these two behemoths suddenly appearing at the corner at the end of the intersection, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
What the hell is this!
Could it be a tank? When comparing the Renault FT-17 tank with the two tanks in front of me, it instantly feels like a bicycle.
"It's Chinese, fire!"
In an instant, four Hotchkes M1922 heavy machine guns, eight Hotchkes M1922 light machine guns, hundreds of rifles, and the 37mm artillery of two Renault FT-17 tanks were aimed at the King Tiger tank with full firepower.
Renault FT-17 light tank
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Bullets and artillery shells continued to hit the King Tiger tank, but did not cause any damage.
The commander of the King Tiger muttered, "These foreigners are so rude, the gunner should teach them a lesson."
"Captain, look at it!"
The heavy turret rotated slowly, and the 88mm tank gun aimed at the small Gauls tank.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two Renault FT-17 tanks were easily destroyed, and their engines flew three to four meters high.
Then the two King Tigers were like gods of war, relying directly on their heavy armor to stop in place. They called out and removed the light and heavy machine guns on the Gallic position one by one.
