The French counselor was arrested, Hu Lili was rescued, Yang Dongfang was unrestrained, and the French Concession was attacked from both sides, and the French army saw that it was not on the hard top, and gradually withdrew from the French Concession, so far Yang Dongfang fully captured the French Concession, completed the first stage of the task, and captured the Concession within one day.

At the same time, the public concession, the French concession, and Shanghai County were connected, the defense area increased, and the space for activities also increased.

At noon, the French river warships, two British warships, and a few gunboats appeared on the Huangpu River.

Britain and France jointly sent representatives to express their request for the New People's Army to withdraw from the concession area and apologize for compensation, otherwise they would bombard and attack.

Facing the two arrogant British and French liaison officers, Yang Dongfang said to the British with disdain: "It's best to let your Robert commander withdraw from the Huangpu River, otherwise Minister Bruce will be killed by you, after all, this is a battle between us and Gaul chickens, you don't want to participate in it." ”

"Okay, Your Excellency Yang Dongfang, I will inform Colonel Robert, but you cannot continue to occupy the British Concession, this is a provocation to the British Empire, which belongs to the Empire."

"Really? Do all the robbers speak as justly as you do? ”

"You!"

"It's better not to talk nonsense, or I'll let you take some of the parts from Bruce back to see Robert." Yang Dongfang was stunned, and the British liaison officer, who still wanted to be arrogant, turned pale with anger, turned around and left in shame.

"What else do you want to say? Don't say anything that angers me! Otherwise, you won't be able to go back, I don't have a rule not to kill. ”

The French liaison officer was very calm and said solemnly: "Now that I, the French Empire, have officially informed you of Your Excellency Yang Dongfang, our French will officially start a war with your New People's Army, and you will bear the wrath of the Empire!" We will avenge Counsellor Pallonay, and you will regret the capture of my concession. ”

Yang Dongfang looked at the French liaison officer who turned around to leave with interest, and sneered: "Didn't we go to war a long time ago?" You avenge Bloone, don't you want to avenge Lone and Rigoth? ”

The French liaison officer stumbled on the doorknob, and Mani forgot about it without mentioning it, this devil had killed many of us.

The British and French departed in a huff, and soon drove the warships through the waters of Yangpu to kill, and the British commanders also participated in the joint attack, but they cunningly lowered the national flag and did a thing of covering their ears and stealing the bell.

The fleets of the two countries rushed up with great swagger, unaware that fifty cannons were facing the river where they appeared.

"Give me a fight for French warships! Shelling! ”

Soon the British and French battleships knew that they were wrong, and were startled by shells coming from several directions, and the shells exploded in the nearby waters, setting off water curtains, and one of the French battleships walking in the forefront was also hit by a cannonball, emitting green smoke.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The British and French battleships hurriedly retreated and waited until a certain safe area, and then let the gunners aim at the artillery position of the New People's Army just now and hit it. However, Yang Dongfang had long expected that as soon as he collected the cannons, he led the people to evacuate, and the shelling of the British and French battleships did not even catch the hair.

"Go and bring ten French men to the front, and cut off their heads so that the French can see what anger is."

At the forefront of the dock, ten French men were directly beheaded, and the commander of the British and French warships, who was watching all this from a distance, was silent, and at the same time, someone on the shore waved a white flag to the British warship, and Robert received his warning, and then dared to attack the New People's Army with the French army, and ten French men were in the forefront.

Robert pondered for a long time, and finally ordered the flag to withdraw all the British ships, at least now that the New Nationalist Army has released goodwill to them, and has not yet become mortal enemies, everything can be discussed.

Following the French to sneak in, he was really worried that the minister and the British merchants would be killed by the New Nationalist Army, and then he would be finished, even if he finally won the battle and recovered the British Concession, he would be killed when he returned to China.

Without the British warships, the French army did not dare to attack blatantly, and retreated, preparing to wait for the upcoming Grand Fleet to attack together, and at the same time urged the Huai army to attack from land, and felt that it was better to let the Huai army face the mines.

Wu Changqing rushed to Songjiang Mansion, why didn't he want to attack Shanghai County as soon as possible, now there are people in the four counties who continue to defect to Yang Dongfang, Yang Dongfang's people and horses grew stronger in an instant, and he was jealous and hated Yang Dongfang's defeat.

"It's not good, my lord, this time it's not just that the people voted for Yang Dongfang, it's just that. . . It is.. ”

Wu Changqing had a tiger face, and his mustache sank slightly: "What is it?" ”

"Even our army has many people who have defected to the enemy, among which Nanhui County directly defected, Jiading County, Fengxian County, Lou County, Qingpu County, Chuansha and other places have recruits with weapons to Yang Dongfang's side, Yang Dongfang spoke again, if the Huai Army takes the initiative to bring ordnance to surrender to the past, 50 taels of silver, and the general level is plus 50 taels."

50 taels of silver is too lethal, in the words of a soldier, it is worth dying, Wu Changqing did not expect that his army was internally unstable, Nima A group of poor turtles with milk is a mother, and secretly glad that there were not many of his three thousand old troops who surrendered to the enemy.

Otherwise, he can go back to Suzhou to preside over the defense, and talk about bullshit attacks.

On the one hand, his own strength is declining, and on the other hand, the other party is gathering and exploding, even if he is experienced in a hundred battles, he does not dare to attack immediately, this is Yang Dongfang, not another cat or dog.

Therefore, on the one hand, he strengthened control and pulled out a line to prevent the people from throwing themselves into the New People's Army, and at the same time asked the north bank of the Yangtze River to transfer troops over, and even secretly sent spies to infiltrate Yang Dongfang's side.

More than one million silver went down, and Yang Dongfang had 7,000 people on his side, but his face was not happy. Similarly, the generals under his command were not dazzled by this surface, among which Feng Dazhao said:

"Dashuai, although we have exploded so many people at once, these people are not reliable, and they are not necessarily useful when they really fight."

"Yes! You can think so, we have to rely on our own people to fight, they can help strengthen the momentum, and it is still possible to defend the city. ”

Tong Da also said worriedly: "I'm afraid that there are pseudo-Qing spies among them, and there are many recruits from the Huai Army who surrendered today." ”

Yang Dongfang suddenly smiled and comforted everyone: "If this is the case, I hope that Wu Changqing will send more people over, because he is destined to fight the dog with meat buns, as long as every day passes, our pressure will be reduced by one point, and he will not attack now just gives me enough time to extend the defensive line in the direction of Huating." What I'm worried about now is the French expeditionary fleet that is about to arrive in Shanghai, which is the original 10,000 French troops attacking Vietnam, and the Huangpu River must be defended. ”

Who called the concession on the Huangpu River, as soon as the French expeditionary fleet arrived, there must be many gunboats and warships that could enter the inland river, and that was the pressure at that time, after all, he had a way to deal with the Huai army in land warfare.

Almost when Yang Dongfang captured the French Concession, Chengdu received news that Zeng Shihe quickly organized hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu, women to weave sacks, men to cut wood and saw boards, dig pits and shovel mud, and fill the newly woven sacks one by one, as long as they reach a certain number, they will disappear in Chengdu and appear in Shanghai.

The 7,000 men and horses immediately turned into sappers, and according to Yang Dongfang's requirements, these sacks were piled up into trenches on various key roads, and several defenses were quickly established, deepening in depth and extending outward in the direction of Huating, Jiading, and Qingpu, so that he would not worry about the Huai army's western offensive next.

As for the felled logs, they were immediately sharpened and driven into the water in the Yangpu section of the water, making hidden piles to block the waterway. (To be continued.) )
