The soldiers of the All Nations Merchant Group had a look of surprise in their eyes, but there was no fear in their hearts.
Regardless of the infantry blocking line and the machine guns deployed, everyone knew that there would not really be a fight.
Because there are enough explosives under the rubbish bridge to blow the bridge into pieces.
And in order to reduce the interference of some nationalist elements among the Chinese people, even the people in nearby residences were emptied.
Despite this, some people still licked their lips nervously.
As you can see from magazines, European tanks are much taller than Japanese tanks. But when tanks appear at such a close distance, it still makes people feel panicked.
Especially those British officers and soldiers standing at the window with guns pointed at their heads and shouting at them, which added to the sense of urgency at the scene.
What is puzzling is that, except for the light machine gunners lying on both sides of the turret, these tanks have no infantry cover. Some are just dragging a lot of hemp ropes, and those hemp ropes are connected to the windows of the four-row warehouse.
.
Gordon understood Zhang Sixing's arrangement, which was for the infantrymen upstairs to quickly evacuate.
As long as the tank reaches the other side, the soldiers can slide down the rope, and then... This is really a good idea. Even if there are a thousand people in the Sihang Warehouse, there will not be more than ten people queuing in front of one window.
If you slowly climb down the rope and the retreat speed is still not fast enough, is it possible that you are sliding down...
Of course this is not allowed. Gordon raised his hand knowing that if his hand fell on the garbage bridge, it would explode into pieces. At the same time, he ordered people to shout,
"Listen, Chinese soldiers south of the bridge, you can't cross the garbage bridge, otherwise we will open fire..."
In order to intimidate the Chinese soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse from not crossing the bridge, all six armored vehicles of the Wanguo Merchant Corps were also deployed nearby. Behind the armored vehicles, trucks used to transport the soldiers of the Wanguo Merchant Corps also blocked the road.
After being on the beach in Shanghai for a long time, Gordon also developed a sense of pomp and circumstance.
The rubbish bridge will not explode if it doesn't blow up. As long as the opponent can't pass the bridge, everything will be fine. Because of its characteristics, it creates a big show to scare the opponent back.
However, more than one tank was on the bridge at this time. Their speed was not fast, but behind each tank was a large number of ropes hanging from each level.
"Samaoka, have you seen the guy with his hands raised? That should be the commander. Whether you can catch him depends on you and your people..."
At this time, Tetsujiro Yamaoka, who was carrying his ancestral sword on his back like a ninja, frowned.
"Sir, those White Russian soldiers..."
"Are you afraid? Anyone who blocks his path will be killed. In addition, tanks will suppress other people's firepower..."
As he spoke, Zhang Sixing looked indifferent. Anyway, he was a bank robber who could not be caught by European countries. Killing a few foreigners would not matter.
Secondly, they are not regular troops, so the Chairman does not need to be taught how to shirk responsibility.
"Let's do it"
Seeing that all four tanks were on the bridge, the shouts from across the river became more and more intense. Gordon's raised arm might fall down at any time. Zhang Sixing made a gesture of action and at the same time shouted in the bridge,
"Action, action..."
Following his order, from the second-floor window of the Sihang Warehouse, people from the mixed barracks slid down the rope and followed the tank with guns in hand to protect the tank.
As a large number of soldiers from the mixed barracks slid down from the second floor window, the leading tank was already approaching the bridge. Gordon's arms suddenly fell down. At the same time, he blocked his ears with one hand, and his face wrinkled in order to endure the sound of the explosion.
piece.
He kept staring as Gordon's demolition hand pressed the detonator...
As Gordon's arm fell, almost everyone in the business group put down their guns and covered their ears with their hands.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound at all.
At this time, the engine sound of the tank on the bridge was loud, and then the tank broke into the bridge, crushing the soldiers of the All Nations Merchant Corps and the iron fence. However, the All Nations Merchant Corps, which always only wanted to stop people, did not have the steel and iron horses deployed to stop the tanks.
.
And quickly turned around to cover the east and west sides of Qiaotou Avenue. As the tank was positioned, the ropes upstairs were tightened and tied tightly, and dozens of soldiers slid down from the sky at a time.
Just as the soldiers of the Wanguo Merchant Corps reacted and were about to raise their guns, the snipers on the roof of the Sihang Warehouse opened fire.
"Whoever shoots will die. You damn merchants from all over the world, do you want to blow up us British as well? I curse you..."
Second Lieutenant Morris roared at the top of his lungs. As a British soldier who was about to be released by Zhang Sixing, if he was blocked by the people of the Wanguo Merchant Group on the south side of the Suzhou River, then...
Almost all the British prisoners rose up with him and shouted,
"Those who shoot will die, those who surrender the gun will not be killed..."
Killing, killing foreigners, killing people from the merchant group of all nations...
This is the first time this happened on the beach in Shanghai.
The Chinese have killed foreigners, so the Chinese should...
But no matter what Gordon was thinking, he was surprised to see that except for the two tanks that were closest to crossing the bridge, they were holding long hemp ropes. The last two tanks bypassed the first two tanks and drove quickly along the avenue.
But none of the soldiers from the merchant group dared to shoot, because there were snipers on the roof of the building, ready to kill anyone who dared to fight back. This was not life-threatening, and what was even more fatal was that groups of soldiers quickly fell to the ground along the hemp ropes.
The guy who landed first didn't have a rifle in his hand at all. He rolled over and pulled out a sword from his back.
People from the World Business Group know that this thing is something that Japanese ronin often plays with.
But as soon as this guy landed, he rushed towards Commander Gordon very quickly.
"Someone...come..."
Seeing the man yelling with unknown meaning, Gordon was shocked and actually called someone.
As he shouted, soldiers from the merchant group of all nations moved forward with their guns drawn. But no one dared to shoot. After all, the guy upstairs said "those who shoot will die".
However, before the soldiers of the Wan Guo Merchant Corps who blocked the road could draw out their bayonets, the guy holding the sword had already stabbed him in the throat. In shock, the soldiers of the Wan Guo Merchant Corps withdrew their guns and retreated.
But what he never expected was that Tetsujiro Yamaoka used the "wonderful sword" of the Itto style. He first pretended to stab his throat, and then quickly slashed the left arm of the soldier from the merchant corps with one sword.
With a scream of "Ah", the soldier dropped his rifle and reached out to cover his left arm.
But what he never expected was that Tetsujiro Yamaoka was not a kind person, so he chopped off the soldier's head with a knife.
Gordon stared helplessly as his men were beheaded in front of him, his eyes widened with fear. The other soldiers who originally wanted to come up to protect him also trembled.
In this trembling short time, more soldiers landed, shouting and killing the soldiers of the nearby merchant group of all nations,
"Hand in the gun and don't kill"
Weird English sounded, but at the same time, he didn't give any reaction to the dazed soldiers of the merchant group, and already stabbed them with their swords.
