When the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was first built, it was established by purchasing a machinery workshop and a shipyard from the American company Qiji Iron Works in the Shanghai Concession, and in the same year, the original Suzhou Foreign Artillery Bureau and the machinery and equipment purchased by Rong Hong from the United States were merged into it. It was originally located in the Gome Concession, and later moved to Gaochang Temple Town, the original site of the modern Jiangnan Shipyard.

After the fleet of Cam Ranh Bay arrived in Shanghai, under the arrangement of Grande, 5,000 elite NPC troops lurked near the Manufacturing Bureau. The manpower under Grande's command is also concentrated, and there are only about 4,000 people who appear in front of Chen Hao, but Chen Hao believes that there are more people from Grande in secret, and these people should not show up for the time being.

Grande hoped that Chen Hao's troops would be the main force to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and he had to bear this black pot for him afterwards. In Grande's view, Chen Hao is the king and hegemon in Cam Ranh Bay, and he doesn't care about the attitude of the imperial court at all, and it doesn't matter if he carries this black cauldron. It's a pity that he doesn't know that Chen Hao has already set his sights on the position of the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, he can be arrogant in the face of the imperial court, but he is absolutely unwilling to bear the reputation of rebellion, he has his eyes on the machinery and talents of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but he will definitely not openly oppose the imperial court.

Grande had long been very familiar with the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and if this large machine bureau did not have an internal response, it would not be able to succeed in attacking from the outside. The Manufacturing Bureau was already guarded by soldiers and horses, and there were a large number of imperial garrisons around, so if the Manufacturing Bureau could not be defeated in one go, it would be very troublesome for reinforcements to arrive.

Chen Hao and Grande met, and Grande said with a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, the internal situation I arranged has been prepared, the door of the Manufacturing Bureau will be opened from the inside, and when the battle starts, most of the staff of the Manufacturing Bureau will be concentrated in the safe area of the West District." However, there are three patrol battalions stationed here, and we must solve the problem as soon as possible, or there will be big trouble. ”

Chen Hao said briskly: "No problem." What to do, Brother Ge, although he orders, my people will absolutely obey the command. ”

At one o'clock in the morning, the gate of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau opened from the inside, and the troops easily entered the Manufacturing Bureau. This step seems simple, but in fact it is not easy, and Grandet spent a lot of money to do it. This is the result of years of preparation for him. He also tried to buy off the garrison of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and then independently completed the initiative of capturing the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but failed many times.

The system will not easily allow players to exploit loopholes, and large arsenals will definitely affect the events of a region, or even a country. Each arsenal must have a player's idea, and the system will also make arrangements in the details, when Chen Hao and Xuanyuan Jian carved up the Jilin Machine Bureau, it was only by making full use of the plot of the Russian invasion that the players in other places wanted to fight it.

Grande has been following the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for many years, but he has confirmed that he cannot succeed on his own. will propose to cooperate with Chen Hao. What he didn't know was that just as he ordered the NPCs within the Manufactured Bureau to take action, some clues about the NPCs aroused the vigilance of Erha, the commander of the garrison.

Erha ordered the soldiers of the three patrol battalions not to rest at night, and at the same time, he took full advantage of his mission authority to start the task of asking the player to help deliver supplies. In addition to the patrol battalion, there are more than 3,000 players in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and after hearing the news that the gate of the patrol battalion was opened, Erha immediately changed the conditions of the mission. Combat missions were issued to more than three thousand players who delivered supplies.

"Player Li Yuanba, Erha, the commander of the garrison of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, has issued you the trigger-type regional mission 'Defend the Manufacturing Bureau'. Condition for mission completion: Cooperate with Erha to repel the enemy who attacked the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Reward: One Premium Edition rifle with 2,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

For the average player, two thousand rounds of ammunition is enough for a while, not to mention a premium version of the rifle. In the midst of wealth and danger, Li Yuanba immediately accepted the task and assembled two hundred meters away from the gate of the Manufacturing Bureau according to the task prompts. Erha had already commanded three battalions of NPC troops to build fortifications. Li Yuanba was not the only one who received the mission, and everyone who participated in the transportation mission accepted the trigger-type area mission.

Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau covers an extremely wide area, two hundred meters away from the gate, there is a soil slope of about dozens of meters, and there are more than ten factories under the soil slope. Erha is considered a talent, and he commands NPC troops and players to build defensive lines against factories and dirt slopes. The three patrol battalions numbered more than 2,400 men. With more than 3,000 players, there should be no problem stalling for reinforcements.

Chen Hao's 5,000 troops cooperated with Grande's men of 9,000 men, which was superior in numbers, but it was the attacking side. The troops advanced less than 200 meters, but a dense number of bullets were taken from the dirt slope not far away, and dozens of people in Grandet were killed at once.

Grandet thought that he would only get into trouble when he attacked the garrison camp, which was still about a kilometer away, and he didn't expect to be ambushed near the gate, and his talent would go ahead. Now he can't retreat, if the people who change Jinranh Bay now will definitely have chaos in front, Chen Baxian must have a good reason to refuse.

Grande had no choice but to attack hard, there was no danger in the factory area, and even the defending side could not take much advantage. Grande's subordinates are all players, and there will not be much loss if they hang up, and the troops he is going to use to deal with Chen Hao have long been ambushed nearby, and even if these four thousand people are lost, it is nothing.

Grandet thought that the NPC patrol battalion, which had only more than 2,000 people ambushed near the dirt mountain, paid a heavy price after launching a charge. The first wave of the attack he arranged not only failed to capture the mountain, but also lost more than 600 men, and the enemy's losses were almost negligible. Seeing this situation, Chen Hao took the initiative to step forward and said: "Brother Ge, the garrison should be more than two thousand people, just now my NPC said that judging by the gunshots, the defending side should be about five thousand people." ”

Grande said with a gloomy face: "The garrison is 2,437 people, I have already investigated it clearly, how can it be five thousand?" ”

Chen Hao reminded Grande that the purpose was to control the manufacturing bureau as soon as possible, otherwise all the troops stationed in Shanghai would come over, and Grande would certainly not be beneficial, and his plan to seize machines and kidnap talents would also fail. This time, he mobilized 15,000 troops for the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and if there were heavy losses in the melee, it would not be of any benefit to him.

The remaining 3,000 or so men of Grandet are not very effective in combat, but they should play a greater role instead of making unnecessary sacrifices. Chen Hao took the initiative to explain to Grande: "Brother Ge, the arsenal is not so easy to fight, if nothing else, it should be the NPC that has released the mission, and there are players on the opposite side participating in the mission." We need to get the manufacturing bureau down as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more and more players receiving the quest, and we will be in trouble with NPC reinforcements. ”

Grande took the opportunity to grab the handle and said, "What do you think Brother Chen should do?" The combat effectiveness of my people is much weaker than Brother Chen's NPC troops, or I will withdraw my people to the rear, and Brother Chen will lead the elite troops to take the base in one go? ”

Chen Hao said with a sincere face: "Brother Ge, even if I am willing to give up these five thousand troops, it is unlikely that I can rely on my strength alone to destroy the defending side. My troops brought a lot of mortars, so I could prepare for the artillery fire of Brother Ge's people first, and the players under Brother Ge charged ahead, and my NPC did not follow behind. If Brother Ge's player is not right, the whole army will definitely be wiped out, and most of my troops will be lost, but they can wipe out the garrison in one go, what does Brother Ge think? ”

Grandet pondered for a moment, and he felt that he should be able to agree to this condition and launch an attack in the simplest and most direct way. In this way, the more than 3,000 players under his command will certainly be wiped out, and if he wants to annihilate more than 2,000 garrisons and 3,000 players, Chen Baxian's 5,000-strong NPC troops will also lose a lot.

After the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was defeated, it was estimated that there were only one or two thousand people left under Chen Baxian, and there were still 10,000 troops hidden in Grande. When the time came, Chen Baxian signed a contract first, and 10,000 people suddenly launched, plus the 5,000 players were almost resurrected, and the remnants of Chen Baxian's soldiers were vulnerable.

Grande said calmly: "Brother Chen, you and I should be honest when we cooperate, but my subordinates are doomed to be wiped out, and it is up to you to deal with the garrison." ”

Chen Hao patted his chest and said: "Brother Ge, don't worry, after the first wave of your troops launches a charge, my people will not give up even if they fight for the last one, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau will definitely be able to defeat it." ”

Chen Hao's 5,000-strong marines carried 50 mortars, and 100 machine gunners quickly came to the front and controlled the mortars to fire at Tushan and the factory not far away. Due to the urgency of time, the commander of the garrison, Erha, simply used the terrain to defend, and the fortifications were not firmly built, and he did not expect that the attackers had portable artillery, and they were quickly suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads.

The more than 3,000 players who participated in the mission temporarily are second-rate players in the game, after all, the top players will not do tasks such as helping to transport supplies. After the firepower becomes ferocious, the player's first thought is to save his life, so soon some players quietly retreated, even if the performance was poor during the battle.

After two rounds of mortar fire, Chen Hao said to Grande: "Brother Ge, I can only do this step, the troops don't have many shells." ”

Grande knew what Chen Hao meant, anyway, his player troops were doomed, so he immediately ordered the remaining players to charge. The patrol battalion, which was suppressed by artillery fire, immediately showed its head and began to shoot after seeing the enemy charge, Chen Hao ordered the mortar gunners not to stop the shelling, and directly suppressed the patrol battalion soldiers.

Chen Hao had a coordinated stunt with an infantry cannon, and if he turned on the stunt artillery gunner, there would be no accidental injury, but he didn't do that. The Infantry Coordination perk only lasts one charge, and if it is activated now, the mortar will not be able to provide cover when his troops attack. (To be continued......)
