On the Suzhou River, the boats docked on the south bank are moving forward little by little.

I just saw the boatman propping up the pole, and I thought he was preparing for the battle to start, fishing out corpses, garbage and other things floating in the river. But in a blink of an eye, the people were gone and the boat was still moving forward. The key is that it is not a boat like this

, there are several boats like this, and they all have sheds.

"Quick, ask someone to launch flares."

Following the captain's shout and a long chirp, a flare went up into the sky, illuminating the Suzhou River.

"Iron chain, it's an iron chain!"

I don't know when, the ships moored on the south bank were pierced by a chain. As the chain continued to move north, the ships originally lying across the river moved under the force. When they lined up in the middle, the two opposite sides

A man in Tsing Yi tied the chain to the cable pile.

What is this for?

As if to answer the question in the mind of the Japanese sniper, a bamboo raft made of bamboo boards was drawn from the north bank to the south bank of Suzhou River.

There is another bamboo raft behind the bamboo raft.

Behind the second bamboo raft is a raft made of split ammunition boxes.

"It's Chinese soldiers. They want to run, fire, fire."

Following the shouts of Japanese snipers, Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles and crooked-handle machine guns started shooting.

However, due to the angle problem, the bamboo rafts and wooden rafts were located behind the ship barrier, with less than half of their body width exposed. Even with the help of flares, they could not see the position of the personnel. All they could do was chase the bamboo rafts or wooden rafts and shoot.

But...more than 90% of the bullets were blocked by the boats blocking the Suzhou River, and could not hit the national soldiers lying on the bamboo rafts and wooden rafts.

The Japanese sniper remembered the actions of the boatmen earlier. Some people were carrying wood into the bed cabin, and some were carrying quilts. No one took it seriously at that time. Now it seems that wood and quilts are not used to keep out the cold.

It is used to strengthen the hull and make it bulletproof.

There are debris on the water surface and shelters, making it difficult for bullets to hit people behind. The river water will weaken the speed of bullets and cannot penetrate the hull. To take a step back, even if a hole can be drilled in the bottom of the boat, water will enter.

The speed is not very fast, and it is supported by chains that run through the river, so it will not sink at all.

It's snowing outside and the temperature is very low. We can't send people to work in the water. Warships from Britain, the United States, France and other countries have blocked the Suzhou River section of the concession. Warships can't enter, and they can't fire artillery. The Japanese soldiers on the east tower are completely gone.

With a bad temper, he watched helplessly as two bamboo rafts and one wooden raft arrived at the south bank, transferring nearly 30 people away at once.

In the underground waterway of Sihang Warehouse, a long raft made of ammunition box shells was filled with people from the 524th Regiment.

Xie Jinyuan no longer knew what to say. The Japanese army occupied the ruins of the Bank of China warehouse and set up several heavy machine gun fire points in front of the garbage bridge. If they forced their way through, a team of 400 people would leave behind at least 100 people. But what about now?

The Japanese never expected that they would take the waterway. A crooked machine gun was deployed on the east side tower. They had to pass through a twenty-meter river under the protection of a ship bunker. If they moved quickly, they could transport thirty or forty meters a minute.

people, all soldiers can be evacuated in less than ten minutes.

After the first group of soldiers landed, the men from the machine gun company quickly pulled the ropes to pull the bamboo raft and raft back, and the second group of soldiers began to board the raft.

Xie Jinyuan looked back at the iron chains tied to the stone pillars on both sides, then looked at the more than thirty soldiers who were transported from the pool in the hall on the first floor, looked behind him and shouted loudly: "Tell Shangguan Zhibiao to activate plan B."

Will Lin Yue put his eggs in one basket?

Obviously not.

When Isao Konoe received a report from the east tower and learned that Chinese soldiers had built a pontoon barrier in the middle of the river, and he was a little overwhelmed, people began to gather at the north gate of the first floor of the Continental Bank warehouse. Chinese soldiers holding steel plates each

The soldiers moved forward slowly, moving towards the garbage bridge with a dozen soldiers hiding behind.

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

Ding ding ding ding.

The bullets from the firepower point of the ruins of the Bank of China warehouse hit the steel plate and sent sparks flying. However, at most the steel plate vibrated a few times and the queue paused slightly, but it could not pose a life threat to the people behind.

Before the searchlight was blown up by a sniper, Isao Konoe used his telescope to observe a detail. The steel plates used by Chinese soldiers looked familiar. He frowned and thought about it, and he realized, no wonder those steel plates looked familiar, because they were the ones who attacked the Sixing Warehouse before.

, the turtle shell array used when trying to blow up the Western Wall. Those steel plates can even block grenades, let alone machine gun bullets.

The guy he sent to blow up the wall turned out to be a life-saving weapon for the enemy. If he could find a word to describe his current mood, it would be "super irritable."

"Order the troops to penetrate from both wings and surround them for me."

"yes."

The herald agreed, quickly walked down the newly made wooden ladder, and conveyed the order of General Wei Xun to the frontline troops.

Two days ago, he would not have dared to issue this order, because there was no bunker protection in the open space in front of the Suzhou River from the Sihang Warehouse. The 800 people inside were enough to make the Japanese troops who were divided into two groups a heavy defeat. But it is different now. They have to retreat.

It has already begun. Only by doing this can we interrupt the evacuation of the national army by water transport and turtle formation. Moreover, 300 of the enemy have retreated now. Some of the remaining people are in the waterways and some are on the first floor of the Continental Bank warehouse. Their combat effectiveness is greatly improved.

weaken.

If the enemy focuses their attack on the south, then the three teams in the north square can almost defeat the front door defense in one charge. If the enemy focuses their attack on the north, the soldiers who go around to the open space between the river bank and the Sixing Warehouse can pass through the rear window.

Enter the main building.

In short... let's hold the national soldiers in Sihang Warehouse first.

Isao Konoe's adaptability is good, and he is ruthless enough, because in order to detour from the east and west sides, he has to pass through the minefields of the Dome Tank and the Type 95 tank.

If they were soldiers from Western countries, they would definitely want to quit, but they are different.

Soon, the Japanese army launched the Long Live Charge. About two squads of soldiers divided into left and right groups and surrounded the rear of the four-row warehouse.

Just as Isao Konoe expected, the three teams in the North Gate Square put heavy pressure on the people behind the attack. The soldiers in the two teams on the left and right basically did not encounter snipers from the rooftop. They only detonated landmines during the charge, killing more than a dozen people.

One person, the remaining people stepped on the corpse of their companion and rushed over to the corner of the wall.

The team on the east side did not immediately snipe the Nationalist soldiers in the waterway, because they would be exposed to machine gun fire from the third and fourth floors. They walked west along the base of the wall, preparing to throw grenades into the windows to test whether there was an ambush.

At this moment, the team leader who was leading the team noticed something was wrong, something seemed to have fallen from above.

He looked up and saw that it was not snow, but rain.

But the rain was very dense and the smell was not right.

He noticed this, and the people behind him also noticed this. As another flare was launched into the sky, the leader of the team noticed something hanging from the window on the third floor.

That's...a showerhead?

The moment this thought flashed through my mind, a stream of fire flew out of the window on the third floor, fell to the ground and shattered, and the flames exploded with a loud bang, quickly spreading to the surrounding area.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers under the wall knew what was raining down from their heads.

It's gasoline!

But it's too late.

The leader of the team immediately turned into a flaming man, and while he was struggling, he ignited the second one, and the third one...

When more Molotov cocktails fell from the third floor, dozens of Japanese soldiers behind the east wall were plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

The snipers and machine gunners on the tower in the distance looked at the scene ahead, their faces turned pale when they heard the shrill howls of their companions, and the hands holding their guns trembled.

Too miserable.

In fact, not only the Japanese team on the east side was caught in the sea of ​​​​fire, but the Japanese team at the base of the west wall were also driven away by the Molotov cocktails dropped from the rooftop.

The Turtle Formation still moved the Chinese soldiers in an orderly manner, but this time the armored vehicle did not carry people over, but turned into a harvester. Three machine guns on the top and two wings beat the Japanese soldiers who ran out from behind the broken tanks into sieves.

.

Konoe Isao, who saw the scene in front of him with a telescope, was so angry that he couldn't say a word. In the past, the national army's equipment was backward and lacked weapons to restrain armored units. Facing the bean tank, armored vehicles such as the Type 95 tank were

The lives that were massacred, now the situation is reversed, no

With the ability to use heavy artillery and lack of air support, the armored vehicle controlled by the national army beat him so hard that his men could not lift their heads. While facing the threat of Molotov cocktails falling from the rooftop of the Continental Bank warehouse, they also withstood three machine guns at the entrance of the garbage bridge.

The firepower killed and injured the soldiers.

Two teams, more than 100 people did nothing, and 88% of them were killed.

Too irritating.
