When Zhang Sixing returned to the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan felt relieved, but as soon as he entered the office, he was disturbed by the phone ringing.
"Hey, that one..."
"Zhongmin, it's me."
The voice of Zhang Boting, chief of staff of the Eighty-eighth Division, came from the other end of the phone. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhang Boting not answering his call last night, Xie Jinyuan still kowtowed and followed.
"Hello, Chief of Staff Zhang, what do you want me to do?"
"What happened last night? I heard that Marcus and the British were both detained."
coming.
For some reason, when the question that was bound to come sooner or later arrived, Xie Jinyuan felt a little happy.
"Chief of Staff, sir, there was a fierce battle here last night. I don't know about my humble position. Were Colonel Makuchi and the British detained?"
Zhang Boting, the deputy chief of staff on the other end of the phone, hit a snag and couldn't help but raise his tone a bit.
"I don't know, how could you not know, that's your battalion over there..."
"Chief of Staff Zhang, I've already reported this to you. Since last night, several groups of stragglers have arrived here. There must be hundreds of people. I'm sorry... maybe they detained us."
After hearing Xie Jinyuan's objections, Zhang Boting paused and softened his tone and continued,
"Let's do this. Zhongmin, please discuss with them and ask them to release them immediately. Do you know that the Military Police Headquarters came to us and said that we had detained their people..."
Xie Jinyuan wanted to laugh when he heard this request. He could go to Zhang Sixing to discuss it, but he would definitely not do that.
What I can't understand the most is that the country is facing a national crisis, so why are they still playing the trick of "surprised allies"?
Originally, if this battle was over and everyone safely retreated to the concession, then maybe Xie Jinyuan would carry out the military order. Otherwise, he would never do such a thing on this battlefield where he didn't know when he would die.
"Sir, I'm afraid this will be difficult to do. The leaders of that group of skirmishers are not easy to talk to."
This is such an excuse... Zhang Boting raised his voice,
"Zhongmin, I've told you time and time again not to get involved in this matter. If you don't carry out the military order... it will be difficult for me to explain it to the superiors. Otherwise, if you tell them, if they don't obey, their supplies will be cut off.
…”
Hearing this, Xie Jinyuan answered in an even more embarrassed tone,
"Chief of Staff Zhang, you don't know that most of the weapons in those military camps are handed over to the Japanese, and they even have cannons, and our numbers are not as large as theirs..."
Zhang Boting, who was on the other side of the river, fell silent after saying a word. It took him a long time to ask,
"Why are there so many people in the mixed barracks?"
"They were all rescued by Mr. Zhang. In addition to the ones he brought back last night, he also broke into a Japanese prisoner of war camp in the early morning and rescued almost four hundred prisoners of war."
Zhang Boting was completely silent this time, feeling that he had completely lost control of the last piece of Chinese territory, the Sihang Warehouse on the other side of the Suzhou River.
"Zhongmin, if you don't carry out military orders, you will be held accountable in the future..."
These words couldn't help but make Xie Jinyuan a little angry. He didn't understand what the "adults" on the other side thought of the battlefield. Is this a place they could use to "surprise their allies"?
It has to be said that compared to the people's army of the Seventeen-Nation Allied Forces, which was bombarded by "Amethyst" on the Yangtze River a few years later, they were far behind.
However, as a soldier, I still have some fear in my heart about military law.
However, at this moment, a burst of electric horn sound came from the other side of the Suzhou River.
"This is krc radio station. We learned that the Sihang Warehouse started fighting to annihilate the enemy early yesterday morning... Our radio station has contacted the Japanese side and reporters will be allowed to go to the Sihang Warehouse..."
Having an idea, Xie Jinyuan said to the phone,
"Chief of Staff, did you hear it? There is a KRC radio broadcast opposite us. Sir, I want to say that we brothers have a good relationship. You can also tell the superiors and discuss with the officer corps if the radio station reports what happened here.
go out……"
Sure enough, when faced with bullying, even if it comes from a superior, it is useful to expose his ugly face to the whole country.
When the fierce battle was raging, he went to the front line to arrest a soldier who was resisting the Japanese army on behalf of the concession countries...
"Uh, by the way, sir, I heard that Mr. Zhang seems to have some relationship with krc radio station. I don't know the specific relationship, but... sir, we have to be on guard."
Although Xie Jinyuan's words were tactful and peaceful, Zhang Boting, who was far away on the other side of the Suzhou River, felt a chill in his heart. If this matter were to be exposed on the radio, it would be a scandal, no matter how big or small.
And if this matter really comes to the German officer corps, God knows what the result will be.
Based on his understanding of the group of Germans and the description of Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, I am afraid that guy will be appreciated by the German officer corps. As for catching Germans for Britain, France and Germany, it is better not to count on those Germans.
.
As for the higher ups...it was originally because of the pressure from the British and French consuls that they agreed to apply the same pressure, but now...it seems that the wind is about to change, and I can't watch myself jumping into the pit.
"Thank you, Zhongmin. I will report the matter. What I just said..."
"Haha, Chief of Staff Zhang, I'm just reporting that I just shot and killed a few Japs myself. Remember to thank your brothers later."
After saying this, Xie Jinyuan burst out laughing. When Zhang Sixing arrived, he felt so happy for the first time.
Throwing down the phone, Xie Jinyuan shook his head.
I really can't understand how those "gentlemen" vented their anger on foreigners at such a critical time. Even if Zhang Sixing is a bandit who has been rampant in foreign countries, what does it have to do with the anti-Japanese war, especially the bloody Sihang Warehouse?
.
While thinking of the bloody flesh, he heard the "boom, boom, boom, boom" sound of the anti-aircraft gun.
Those sounds irritated his eardrums. Thinking of the more than 100 people who had just been injured by anti-aircraft artillery attacks, he felt heartbroken and trembled:
I wonder how Mr. Zhang and those snipers will deal with those anti-aircraft guns...
Anyway, he had no choice but to use cannons to blast away, shoot with sniper rifles, and even sweep with machine guns. However, none of them could eradicate the attacks of those anti-aircraft guns, and instead lost several machine guns and two cannons.
At the moment, on the roof of the building, Zhang Sixing had just gathered the "quasi-snipers" with scopes.
Seeing Zhang Sixing, Zhang Changlin and other snipers immediately felt that they had a backbone.
Glancing at the ten "quasi-snipers" arranged on the roof of the building, Zhang Sixing felt a little sad. After all, he recognized almost every sniper, but now he didn't recognize half of the ten people.
But now is not the time to be sad. All other emotions are not needed on the battlefield, because only those who survive to get off the battlefield are qualified to remember their comrades in the years to come and review every detail of the battle.
Believe me, that is enough to last a lifetime.
"I want you to know that the two most important data for sniping are distance and windage. Now I will give you a rough explanation. If you don't understand, feel free to ask, because the rest of the people have to rely on you to teach..."
