With the huge explosion, many Japanese soldiers were directly blown into the sky, and some were even blown directly into the river.
The screams were continuous, directly breaking the festive and peaceful atmosphere of New Year's Eve.
Half an hour later, when three or four figures crawled out on the north bank of the river, they were all too tired to move. After all, they had been swimming for nearly an hour.
And soaking in the cold river water all the time is not something ordinary people can do.
"Captain, nine brothers, nine brothers are gone."
"I know, the brothers who left are all heroes. They are exploring the way for us. We remember this grudge and we will evacuate immediately."
"Captain, please wait for the other brothers?"
"We can't wait any longer. Did you see that the Japanese patrols in the distance have come over? If we stay here, we can only wait for death. We must survive for our dead brothers."
The captain looked at the river not far away, shouted in a low voice, and then lurked directly to the north, preparing to avoid the Japanese pursuit.
Of the twelve brothers, three survived. The heavy casualties were unexpected.
But being able to blow up four of the warships was definitely an achievement.
At this time, the Shanghai Navy Headquarters went crazy after the explosion, and groups of soldiers were constantly looking around.
After all, they were warships, and every warship was their lifeblood. If four of the seven ships were bombed at once, wouldn't that cost them their lives?
The entire naval garrison began to arrest everyone, especially on the shore. But in the frozen river, it was really difficult to find the person who bombed the warship.
After all, each person carries twenty kilograms of explosives, and even if they die, they will not surface.
…
On the top of the villa, Zhang Tianhao looked at the huge sparks coming from the Yangtze River, and he couldn't help but grin. He knew that he had succeeded again.
However, he knew that this was just the beginning, and the fun would continue. If it was just this little, it wouldn't be called a New Year's Eve show.
He finished the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then looked at another part of the concession, where various gunshots were heard continuously.
Although there was a concession, this place was the residence of some spies and even traitors from the Youth Gang, and he was also removing traitors.
A special anti-traitor team has begun to take action. If these traitors were not afraid of death and were surrounded by many bodyguards to protect them, they would have been beaten to death many times.
"Master, it seems things are not going well over there?"
"Well, if things don't go well, just retreat. After all, there's no need to fight to the death!"
We have been fighting there for seven or eight minutes. If we are not taken down, we can indeed retreat now. If we continue fighting, the patrol house will come over.
After saying that, he no longer looked over there, but towards the city. There were still several assassinations over there. Even if it was New Year's Eve, he would not let go of these damn traitors and some Japanese.
The gun battle that broke out at almost the same time once again broke the already lively night.
"Tell the brothers below that our fireworks can be set off!"
Hearing how lively the entire SH urban area and even the concessions were, he knew that there was no need to say anything more at this time, but to cause some trouble for the Japanese.
As the fireworks on his side were set off, bursts of fireworks exploded in the sky, and many other fireworks were also set off.
A few minutes later, countless fireworks explosions were heard throughout Shanghai, as if Shanghai's Spring Festival morning had arrived early.
At midnight and at exactly one o'clock in the morning, fireworks began to be set off in various places in Shanghai, not only in the concessions, but also in countless places in the city at the same time.
The explosion of the fireworks directly covered up part of the gunfire, and was also a signal for the entire urban area of Shanghai to retreat. After all, it had already taken more than ten minutes to reach this point, and if the fight continued, it would be a complete loss.
…
The captain of the sixth team looked at the fallen brother, his voice was choked with sobs, but he still suppressed his grief and shouted to the brothers around him: "Brothers who are dead and wounded on their backs, let us withdraw!"
"Captain, we..."
"Stop talking nonsense, retreat now, don't let all the brothers die here, retreat!"
Upon hearing this, the other dozen or so living people were reluctant to leave, directly carried their dead or injured brothers, and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Of course, grenades and the like will not be given to these traitors or Japanese soldiers.
With the sound of several explosions, when these people wanted to chase them, they found that these people had disappeared.
…
The captain of the first team looked at the fireworks rising in the sky and sighed. Then he looked at the traitor's residence in front of him that had not yet been captured and gritted his teeth.
He shouted loudly to the brothers beside him: "Retreat!"
"yes!"
No one said a word. When retreating, half of the bodies of the dead or dead brothers were taken away. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was enough.
It is impossible to abandon one's brothers or corpses randomly on the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Captain, if you leave us behind, we will go with you. It's already a drag."
"Captain, please, give us grenades and guns. We will never embarrass the captain or the young master after we break up. Even if we die, the young master will not treat his brothers badly."
Everyone knows that as long as their brother dies, Zhang Tianhao will definitely lend him the money as soon as possible.
It may be more difficult at ordinary times, but I will also lend some money to my family.
The captain looked at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and knew that they would really not be able to leave if they dragged on any longer. With tears in his eyes, he saluted all the seriously injured brothers.
"Then I'll ask you all, all brothers, keep all the seriously injured brothers behind and retreat quickly. Leave the grenades as well."
The five seriously injured brothers and the corpses of the brothers who died in the battle were directly left behind and then cut off.
The others also quickly put down their grenades, saluted, put down their grenades, and started running towards the dark street. They quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The fighting on the street has not ended yet, the sound of explosions and gunshots are still heard.
After five or six minutes, the street became quiet, but the thick smell of blood filled the entire street, like a hell on earth.
When the Japanese soldiers rushed over, they discovered that there were no living people except corpses.
"idiot!"
The Japanese sergeant looked at the corpses here, and there were more than a dozen of them dead. He was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed, then pointed his finger and said loudly: "Chase me, don't let any of them run away!"
This kind of battle scene happened not in one place, but in many places. Some of the injured brothers were taken away and the bodies were left behind, while some were left behind to break up the aftermath, and the battle further escalated.
It wasn't until about two o'clock in the morning that the whole of Shanghai slowly returned to silence. Occasionally, one or two gunshots were heard. Of course, there were also occasional places where the action team had no time to evacuate all and had to fight to the death.
Zhang Tianhao, who was sitting on the roof of the villa, frowned slightly when he heard the gunshots coming from time to time. After all, those gunshots meant that some people had not evacuated, and it meant that they might stay in the battlefield of Shanghai forever.
"Master, we should go back. The matter is almost over here."
