After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 178 Return to the Concession

Immediately afterwards, intensive gunfire was heard in the distance. The Japanese pirates discovered the retreating "Eight Hundred Warriors" and began shooting at them fiercely.

At the same time, they turned on two searchlights that had been installed in advance.

"Fire to cover!" Jiang Shiyuan gave an order, and the members of the snake catching team immediately opened fire in the direction of the Japanese.

Then she and Lao Huang acted quickly and smashed the two bright searchlights.

The sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky, and bullets flew out like raindrops, temporarily suppressing the offensive momentum of the Japanese pirates.

"Come on!"

Under the cover of the snake catcher team's firepower, the "Eight Hundred Warriors" charged forward in the hail of bullets.

"Da da da--"

The Japanese pirates' light and heavy machine guns fired crazily, and the bullets hit the steel plates in the hands of the "Eight Hundred Warriors", making crisp "ding-dang-dang" sounds.

But there were still a few soldiers who were not holding steel plates and were unfortunately shot, and their blood dyed the ground beneath their feet red.

"Cover! Cover!"

Xie Jinyuan shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to take turns to cover each other and continue to charge forward.

"boom!"

With a crisp gunshot, a Japanese machine gunner fell to the ground with a bullet in the middle of his eyebrow, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Houyi is a great marksman!" Nezha couldn't help but admire.

After that, there were several more gunshots, and several machine gunners on the Japanese pirates' side were shot in the head.

Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang looked up and saw Chen Qingyan appear on the rooftop on the other side opposite Houyi, with smoke coming out of the muzzle of his gun.

With everyone working together, the firepower of the Japanese pirates was completely suppressed.

Some people in the International Settlement were always concerned about the safety of the "Eight Hundred Heroes" and cheered them on the banks of the Suzhou River.

"Go! Just cross the bridge and you'll be safe!"

Xie Jinyuan led the remaining soldiers and rushed across the New Garbage Bridge, and finally successfully entered the safe area of ​​the International Settlement.

"We won!"

"We survived!"

"Great, the heroes have all retreated safely!"

The soldiers and the people were all cheering and excited.

The snake catcher team members all came out from their hiding places and couldn't help but smile with relief when they saw the heroes who had evacuated safely.

Jiang Shiyuan looked up at the night sky, tears glistening in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Brother, the soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse have all evacuated safely!"

"You must have seen it in heaven..."

But before she could come to her senses, people from the International Settlement Police Station, along with a team of Eagle Country soldiers, surrounded her aggressively.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the chief of the patrol asked in stiff Chinese, with undisguised arrogance in his tone.

"We are here to protect the heroes on their way home!" Old Huang replied with his neck stiffened, not showing any weakness.

"Hero? What hero?" The chief of the police sneered, "Put down your weapons, this is the International Settlement, not a place for you to run wild!"

"You..." Old Huang wanted to argue, but was stopped by Jiang Shiyuan.

"Sir, we're leaving now." Jiang Shiyuan said as he signaled the members of the snake catching team to put away their weapons first.

"Hmph, you guys are smart!" The chief of the patrol smiled smugly, and then left in a triumphant manner with a few soldiers.

"These foreign devils are really going too far!" Old Huang stomped his feet in anger.

Jiang Shiyuan frowned at this moment, feeling uneasy.

At the same time, Xie Jinyuan led the soldiers and, under the arrangement of the concession authorities, came to the warehouse of the Bank of China on the south bank of the Suzhou River to take a rest.

The soldiers were all exhausted, but their faces were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Just as the soldiers were congratulating each other and expressing their deep emotion, several officials from the Concession Municipal Council swaggered in, surrounded by armed police officers.

"Thank you, Captain. First of all, congratulations on your successful evacuation of the Sihang Warehouse!"

The leading Eagle Country official said with a wry smile: "But for your safety, please lay down your weapons immediately and let our concession authorities keep them for you."

"What? Confiscate your weapons?" Xie Jinyuan flew into a rage. "We evacuated from the Sihang Warehouse and passed through the concession to continue defending our country, not to surrender to you!"

"Captain Xie, please calm down, this is just a routine matter."

The Eagle Country official still had a hypocritical face, "Our International Settlement is a neutral area. Any troops entering must disarm."

"Bullshit!" Yang Ruifu couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing.

"While I was fighting desperately on the battlefield, where were you, a bunch of cowards, hiding?"

"Now that we have repelled the enemy's attack, you want to confiscate our weapons. How can this be justified?"

"How dare you be rude to your superior!" Several Eagle Country patrolmen immediately stepped forward and pointed their guns at Yang Ruifu.

"Stop it!" Xie Jinyuan roared, pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the Eagle Country official's nose, and said sternly: "I tell you, if you want to confiscate the weapons, you have to step over our dead bodies!"

"The commander is right!" The soldiers drew their pistols and confronted the police.

The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became tense, as if a war was about to break out.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. It was Zhang Baiting, who was waiting for the 524th Regiment to return, who arrived after hearing the news.

"Xiao Xie, what's going on? What are you arguing about?" Zhang Baiting looked around and asked sternly.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, you've come just in time!" Xie Jinyuan pointed at the Eagle Country official and said angrily, "These Eagle Country guys came up and wanted to confiscate our weapons!"

"What?" Zhang Baiting's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard that.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, please don't misunderstand us. We have absolutely no ill intentions."

The Eagle Country official quickly explained, "It is customary to prohibit bringing weapons into the concession, and we are only keeping them for safekeeping, not surrendering them."

"When you leave the concession, it will be returned intact."

"Our concession has always remained neutral and will never take sides."

Zhang Baiting frowned and asked, "Neutrality? Does your neutrality mean watching our Chinese compatriots being slaughtered by the devils?"

Then he shook his head and said angrily: "I'm afraid that once we withdraw into this concession today, we will have to hand over our weapons whether we want to or not!"

"Chief of Staff..." Xie Jinyuan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhang Baiting's wave of his hand.

"Jin Yuan, I know you are dissatisfied, but now is not the time to act on impulse."

Zhang Baiting lowered his voice and advised Xie Jinyuan: "We have completed the mission assigned by our superiors. We cannot let more soldiers die in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinyuan was silent for a moment, but ultimately decided to consider the overall situation.

"Okay, let's hand over our weapons!" He took a deep breath and ordered the soldiers: "Everyone, hand over all your weapons and ammunition to them!"
