Since the Battle of Songhu has not been able to completely eliminate the Chinese forces in Shanghai and the city, General Matsui Iwane's headquarters has been located on the battleship Fuso.
At this time, several newspapers were also placed on Matsui Iwane's desk.
Matsui Iwane's face looked a little unpleasant, and his sinister eyes suddenly turned to Major General Tsukada, the chief of staff of the Front Army standing next to him, and asked: "Tsukada-kun, what do you think?"
Tsukada said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, General, I think that the Sihang Warehouse has now become the flag of the Chinese military. If the imperial army cannot remove this nail as soon as possible, not only the Chinese military will be greatly encouraged, but also the Chinese government and the Chinese military."
The people will also be more determined to resist, and more seriously, public opinion unfavorable to the empire may also be formed internationally."
"Well, Tsukada-kun's judgment makes sense." Matsui Iwane nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Tenko?"
"It's been found out." Tsukada nodded and responded, "The Chinese Army stationed at Sihang Warehouse only has one battalion, Baoshan Battalion."
"What, there is only one China battalion?" Matsui Iwane suddenly frowned and said, "This Baoshan battalion must have a lot of history, right?"
"Your Majesty the General's judgment is absolutely correct." Tsukada said, "This Baoshan Battalion was named by China leader Chiang Kai-shek personally. It is affiliated to the 98th Division of the 15th Group Army of the China Army. The battalion commander Yue Weihan is a graduate of the tenth batch of the China Central Military Academy.
Previously in Baoshan, the 3rd Division's forward base was blown up by this battalion, and Mr. Tengtian was also shattered in the explosion!"
"Oh, Susumu Tengada also died at the hands of this person?" Matsui Iwane frowned, "Does this person also know how to do special operations?"
"This..." Tsukada said with a bitter smile, "China's Central Military Academy does not offer special warfare teaching, and this Yue Weihan has no record of studying in the West. I think this should be just a coincidence. At that time, China led by this person
The small force accidentally broke into the hinterland of the 3rd Division, so that tragedy occurred."
"I think that's the case. How could the China Army engage in special operations?" Matsui Iwane shook his head and said, "Tsukada-kun, please send a report directly to the 36th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Division and give them three days.
We must capture the Sihang Warehouse, otherwise, prepare to commit seppuku to express our sins to His Majesty the Emperor."
Tsukada thought for a while and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, General, the Wakisaka Regiment has been storming the Shihang Warehouse for more than ten days, but they have still been unable to gain an inch. They are only given three days. Isn't it a little... or,
Deploy a heavy artillery brigade from the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade directly under the front army to cooperate with the Wakisaka Regiment?"
"No." Matsui Iwane waved his hand, "If the heavy artillery is moved up, I'm afraid it will accidentally bomb the public concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River. If the British or Americans are killed, it will cause international disputes. If it triggers the Empire
The consequences of a war with Britain or the United States will be unimaginable, and neither you nor I can bear such responsibility."
"Hi." Tsukada suddenly lowered his head and said, "Matsui-dono, can you consider transferring the Yu Zhishan Brigade of the Manchukuo National Army and let them cooperate with the Wakisaka Regiment?"
"Yoshi, let the Chinese attack the Chinese?" Matsui Iwane happily agreed, "That's it."
…………
Zhabei, Sihang Warehouse.
Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Youth Gang, is indeed a famous figure in Shanghai. That night he collected two large trucks of condolences and military supplies. Together with the medicine purchased by the Eighth Route Army Office in Shanghai and the urgent mobilization of progressive young people, the truck was loaded with goods.
Four large trucks drove toward Zhabei in a mighty manner.
Along the way, all the British checkpoints were cleared.
When they arrived at the New Junk Bridge, the British troops guarding the bridgehead took advantage and quietly let them go. However, the Japanese gunboats patrolling the Suzhou River and the Japanese troops stationed on the north bank of the Suzhou River tried their best to intercept them. Fortunately, the four trucks were equipped with steel plates, plus
The response from Baoshan Camp finally brought the materials and personnel over without any danger.
The hall on the fourth floor of the warehouse was already crowded with officers and soldiers from Baoshan Battalion.
The cigarettes, wine, cans and other condolence items that filled the hall on the second floor of the warehouse did not arouse the interest of the soldiers at all, but they were full of expectations for these two rare items placed in the hall on the fourth floor.
A camera and a tape recorder have been set up in the lobby on the fourth floor. The camera was okay, and most of the National Army brothers present had seen it, but the tape recorder was definitely a rare thing. Even in Shanghai at that time, there were only
Only high-ranking officials in the military and political circles, as well as business and political leaders can use it.
"Grandma, can this thing really retain our voices?" Chi Chengfeng turned left and right around the recorder, as if he didn't believe it.
Yang Shaocheng, who was standing next to him, didn't say much nonsense. He just pressed the record button quietly. After recording Chi Chengfeng's words, he pressed the play button again. Chi Chengfeng's voice suddenly sounded from the recorder.
When he stood up, Chi Chengfeng was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he kept saying: "Grandma, can he really record our voices?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yue Weihan stepped forward and pushed Chi Chengfeng away, and then said, "Brothers, let's start recording now. Regardless of officers and soldiers, everyone has a share. Who comes first?"
"Grandma, let's come first, let's come first." Chi Chengfeng quickly raised his hand, and before Yue Weihan nodded, Chi Chengfeng rushed to the tape recorder. After being stunned for a long time, he turned back and asked Yue Weihan, "
Yingzuo, what should we, Lao Chi, say?"
The officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion who were watching nearby burst into laughter.
Yang Shaocheng, who was in charge of the recording, did not laugh. On the contrary, his mood was quite heavy. He immediately reminded: "Brother, do you have any relatives in your family? Do you have anything to say to them? Just treat them as they are now.
Standing in front of you, I can say whatever I want without worrying about anything..."
Chi Chengfeng flattened his mouth and suddenly said: "Mom, I am Gou Sheng, your dog."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers in the hall burst into laughter again. Liu Tiezhu laughed so much that he shed tears and said: "Hahahahaha, it turns out that Company Commander Chi's nickname is also Gou Sheng, and he has the same name as a fool in our village."
"Your dad is the fool, his grandma." Chi Chengfeng replied angrily, then turned back to the recorder and said, "Mom, when you see the photo and hear this voice, maybe your dog
He is no longer here, but you don’t need to be sad. Your dog died on the battlefield fighting the Japanese and did not bring shame to our old Chi family. Really..."
The hall on the fourth floor suddenly became silent. The officers and soldiers who had been laughing happily just now were all silent.
"Next." Yue Weihan picked up Chi Chengfeng without hesitation. The recorder had a limited capacity and he had to let more soldiers keep their voices.
Niu Dagen stood in front of the tape recorder: "Dad, you are not in good health. You should stop planting half an acre of land in my house and leave it to that bastard Ergen. This time, I sent you 300 yuan along with the photos."
I earned a lot of money through my military exploits. Once you get a lot of money, you can give Ergen a wife. He is already a grown man."
Cao Xinglong subconsciously stood in front of the recorder, but soon his face became very embarrassed, even a trace of paleness. He was stunned for a moment and then walked away without saying a word. Yang Shaocheng, who was in charge of recording, became anxious when he saw this.
Said: "Brother, why don't you say a few words?"
Cao Xinglong didn't even reply: "I have nothing to say."
"Why are you so heartless?" Liu Xin, a female second lieutenant who was helping, immediately became unhappy.
"Shut up, what do you know?" Yue Weihan glared at Liu Xin fiercely, and then motioned to the guard platoon leader Liu Tiezhu to come forward to record. Then he walked up to Liu Xin and whispered: "Company Commander Cao has no relatives. He has been there for as long as he can remember.
He's alone and doesn't even know what his parents look like. Who do you tell him to tell him what to say?"
"No?" Liu Xin flattened her mouth and whispered, "Then how did he grow up?"
Yue Weihan sighed and said in a low voice: "It was our old battalion commander of Baoshan Battalion who took him in. Unfortunately, the old battalion commander also died for the country in the Battle of Baoshan. Now he is alone."
"Ah?" Liu Xin's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, her beautiful eyes turned red immediately, and she was about to cry.
Although Yue Weihan's voice was soft, Yang Shaocheng beside the recorder also heard it. He strode to Cao Xinglong and said in his unique and infectious low voice: "Brother of the National Army, you are not alone.
You are not alone. The more than 200 brothers in Baoshan Camp are your good brothers who share life and death. The 40 million compatriots across the country are also your brothers and sisters. We...are all one family!"
"Yes, Dalong, you forgot, we are brothers!"
"Captain Cao, this master is right, you are our big brother!"
"Brother Cao, it was my fault just now. If you don't mind, I will be your sister from today on, okay?"
The officers and soldiers of Baoshan Battalion and Liu Xin all echoed their words. Yue Weihan next to him could not help but feel a little moved in his heart, and looked at the unprepossessing photographer with slight surprise.
