The Guo family's house is not big, but it is a three-story building. This is a common house style in concessions where land is at a premium.
Of course, the business group from all over the world blocked off the blocks near the Garbage Bridge, driving away not only the residents, but also the reporters.
Needless to say, the fact that the Wan Guo Merchant Group cut off the retreat of the Sihang Warehouse defenders must not be known to the press.
It's a pity that they can't buy the news airship in the sky, because it's not under their control. In addition, if they really want to drive away the news airship, it will be difficult for the Ministry of Industry and bureaus to explain it.
The three-story building has a flat roof, and on it are several pots of flowers that Guo Simin planted when she had nothing to do. At this moment, the Guo family's father and daughter looked at the smoke-filled Sihang Warehouse, especially Guo Simin's heart.
But when she looked up and saw the sun approaching noon, she suddenly had an idea.
"Dad, use this, maybe people on the roof can see it."
Seeing the small pocket mirror his daughter took out from her arms, Guo Liangjun, who was desperate, smacked his lips.
"Reflecting the light in a mirror may attract their attention. But your pocket mirror is too small. Bring me the round mirror you usually look at, and I'll write a few words."
After saying that he didn't care about his daughter, Guo Liangjun, who was treating the dead horse as a living horse doctor, ran back to his room, took out a few newspapers for calligraphy practice, and wrote with the largest brush.
At this moment, the battle at Sihang Warehouse entered a stalemate. Under the fierce firepower, the Japanese infantry's ground offensive was temporarily suppressed. After all, the "Pig Rush" was just a self-destructive attack on the spur of the moment.
If it is really blocked by powerful firepower, it can only be described as "useless".
For example, if the mg42 is properly arranged, or the future anti-aircraft Gatling and similar rapid-fire guns, including flamethrowers and fire-breathing tanks, the "Pig Charge" is just a joke.
But Zhang Sixing had no intention of completely defeating their attack this time.
"Look, what is that..."
Someone was shouting from the top of the building. Zhang Sixing looked in the direction the person was pointing and saw something reflecting strong sunlight toward the Sixing Warehouse.
Taking out the telescope in his arms, Zhang Sixing looked in the direction of the flash, thinking:
Who is so boring...
I could vaguely see a woman, but then another person appeared on the rooftop platform, who looked familiar.
He crawled to a safer place on the south side of the building and raised his binoculars to look over again.
The flash was still there, Zhang Sixing simply tried to stand up and waved his hand to try to prevent the other party from affecting the battle here.
When the other party saw his wave, he seemed to understand and ended the "flash harassment". Then Zhang Sixing finally saw clearly that it was a girl and Guo Liangjun.
Lao Guo...
Zhang Sixing vaguely realized that the other party might have something to tell him.
I saw Guo Liangjun holding up a newspaper,
"hair"
What do you mean, what the hell...
"bridge"
What the hell is Mao Qiao? Guo Liangjun held up a newspaper again, he was a "zi".
Maozi Bridge... Is there such a bridge in Shanghai at this time? Zhang Sixing, who is not familiar with Shanghai, really doesn't know if there is a place called "Maozi Bridge" in Shanghai at this time.
But when the last word was raised, Zhang Sixing saw clearly that it was the word "explosion".
"Mao Qiaozi blew up...Maozi blew up the bridge...those bastards from the merchant group of all nations."
Suddenly understanding what the message from Guo Liangjun was, Zhang Sixing looked down from the edge of the Sixing Warehouse building.
He clearly saw that there seemed to be only one empty ship moving away. Of course, it was not clear from the rooftop whether the people of the All Nations Merchant Group had arranged any explosives.
But when he raised his telescope and looked carefully, he clearly saw a black wire extending from under the bridge.
Although there is a green, moss-like cloth covering it, but when the wind blows, others will not be able to see it. Looking along the exposed black wires, it is connected to a nearby room.
In addition, some Belarusian soldiers were ready to shoot and even set up machine gun bunkers, and they couldn't help but burst into anger:
"The Merchant Group of All Nations is trying to kill me. Without the information sent by Lao Guo, I would have let this guy scheme."
It is true that he is a businessman, a rich man, and a media tycoon, but at his heart he is always a soldier. The Merchant Group of All Nations bears the name of the army no matter what.
An army challenged Zhang Sixing, could he spare the enemy?
Look at the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. In just three or four days, nearly 10,000 Japanese were defeated. What a business group from all over the world.
Put down the telescope and look down at the south wall of the roof of Sihang Warehouse.
According to Zhang Sixing's request, two tanks were stationed near the bridge. There were also a military camp nearby and two carriages stolen from the Japanese artillery team.
The brand-new guns and ammunition hanging from the third floor had already filled two carriages. He originally expected that the troops in the concession might prevent him from evacuating with the people in the four rows of warehouses.
Then make it look like a fight, with the two tanks in front opening the way and the two tanks behind covering it. People who want to come to the concession will not start a fire, and safe retreat should not be a big problem.
At that time, he thought that the businessmen in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau probably did not want to provoke him, a bandit who had been rampant in Europe, and they did not want to sincerely serve the Japanese. Otherwise, he would recognize people with his four lines, but not his head with the gun in his hand.
But now that the merchant group from all over the world has been dispatched, judging from the arrangement, there must be a thousand people. However, no British soldiers were seen. It is estimated that Consul Benson was afraid of being troubled by himself and did not dare to send British troops.
In fact, Zhang Sixing doesn't care. If there is no such thing as blowing up the bridge, he doesn't intend to cause more trouble. But if anyone doesn't give him face, then he has to let them know that Zhang Sixing has never been soft on killing foreigners.
He then used his binoculars to carefully observe the detonating wires under the bridge. With an idea in mind, he sneaked to the fifth floor like a hole and began to arrange it secretly.
Soon after, four operational tanks left their positions and assembled behind the four rows of warehouses.
Then what is puzzling is that hemp ropes were thrown down from the third, fourth and fifth floors, which seemed to be used for quick retreat.
These actions were not hidden from Gordon, the commander of the merchant group of all nations on the other side of the river. He was an Englishman, but his men were basically White Russian soldiers.
In addition, if there is a real fight, the merchant group of all nations can mobilize a lot of troops.
However, at this time, the Merchant Group of All Nations only had standing troops and did not agree to Commander Gordon's request for mobilization.
In desperation, Gordon had to mobilize a thousand troops to surround the garbage bridge, and another 500 people were currently guarding Xie Jinyuan and his soldiers from the 87th Division.
In fact, it doesn't matter to Zhang Sixing whether the merchant group of all nations is mobilized or not. Such a militia like a chicken and a dog is nothing compared to five tanks and nearly a thousand experienced soldiers in his hands.
When he saw the four tanks, Gordon, the commander of the All Nations Merchant Group, felt a little sweat in his heart.
