Weapons and ammunition alone are of course not enough.
Since the little butterfly who traveled through time and space knew that this place would become the last battlefield in Zhabei, Shanghai, how could he only make such preparations?
As early as half a year ago, various foods began to be stored here. Although the Sixing Warehouse serves as the headquarters of the 88th Division, it stores a large amount of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods, including medicines and ammunition. But in Liu Lang's view,
Come on, this is not enough.
For soldiers, how can they just eat some potatoes and sweet potatoes when they are hungry? Therefore, another important material in the secret room is food. At least 10,000 kilograms of basic rice and white flour are prepared, and more than 400 people open their bellies.
It can be eaten for more than ten days, and there are also a large number of canned beef and canned fruits imported from the United States. Not only can they be eaten as dishes, but they can also supplement various vitamins and sufficient sugar.
Even, Liu Tuanzuo thoughtfully prepared enough chocolate for each person to maintain body heat, as well as canned liquor and American cigarettes. As he watched the supplies being carried, he happily stuffed cigarettes into his purse and pulled the colorful packaging into his mouth.
Xie Jinyuan was speechless as the soldiers threw away and chewed the chocolate.
Who is Boss Du planning to compete with here for a year?
Of course he didn't know that in the past, he led this lone army to fight the Japanese army here for four days and nights. The Japanese army could not make any progress. If the Ministry of Military Affairs had not ordered them to withdraw into the concession, they could even survive by eating corn and potatoes.
Stay here for a month. If you add the materials Liu Lang prepared for them, the Japanese army may not be able to capture this strong fortress in three months, let alone one month.
Not only food and drink, Liu Tuanzuo was even considerate enough to dig a well for this lone army in a corner of the secret room. In order to facilitate water collection, he also used the kind of hand pressure used in the vast rural areas of the future Republic.
Well, you only need to press the pressure handle connected to the center of the well with your hand, and the clean water will flow out from the pipe mouth into the pool.
The structure is very simple, but it is extremely practical. Not only will the Sihang Warehouse not be afraid of power and water cuts from now on, more than 400 officers and soldiers will have enough to eat and drink. Even if the Japanese army wants to attack with fire, there will be enough clean water.
The fire was extinguished. Moreover, the Maxim heavy machine gun is water-cooled, and the clean water here can also be used to cool the machine gun barrel.
Water wells are also necessary for the four-row warehouse.
In addition to the water wells, Liu Lang also prepared two sets of diesel generators and several large barrels of diesel. Don't think that this era is extremely backward, unlike in the future, once the power goes out, you can't watch TV or play with your mobile phone, and everyone will be almost at a loss.
.In this era, the dependence on electricity is not small.
It's not that the soldiers have nothing to do and they want to watch TV, but that Xie Jinyuan's lone army also carries a field radio. Since it carries a radio, it naturally needs electricity and needs to be charged. If the battery is out, the field radio's battery will be used.
It won't be long before the game is over.
Well, Sihang Warehouse is really an isolated island.
It can be said that Liu Lang has thought of everything that can be thought of. In this time and space, he will let this lone army have a good fight with the Japanese without any worries. See what the Japanese will do without the help of heavy artillery.
It's not as strong as they boast.
Of course, although Liu Lang arranged all this several years in advance, except for Boss Du, the only person who knew the inside story, everyone else gave all the credit to the underground emperor of Shanghai Yi Bo Yuntian.
Seeing that Boss Du kept smiling and saying nothing, although Xie Jinyuan was a very pure soldier, he was not very good at flirting with others. Otherwise, he would not have said that a fourth-level student from Huangpu was extremely brave in combat. He only became one after ten years.
Acting head of the school. You should know that his most famous classmate in the fourth phase of Huangpu is already a lieutenant general and division commander in the red army, while his classmates in the national army can even be promoted to colonels, which is better.
Of course they are all major generals.
But this is by no means said to have low emotional intelligence. He just disdains relying on personal connections to get promoted. The three-pointed star on his collar badge was earned through battle after battle.
Sensing that this man had something else to say, he gently waved his hand and motioned for Lei Xiong to lead the soldiers carrying supplies up first. Only he and Boss Du were left in the whole secret room.
Sure enough, it was only then that the smiling Green Gang boss asked: "How is it? Commander Xie, are you satisfied with these supplies?"
"Thank you, Boss Du. On behalf of all the brothers of the 542nd Regiment of the 88th Division, I would like to express my gratitude to you. With these materials that you have provided free of charge, I, Xie, promise you that even if we fight to the last soldier, we will keep the Japanese army in Suzhou."
Hebei Bank in January." Xie Jinyuan suppressed the joy that was about to explode in his heart and gave a military salute to Boss Du. "This place may become the grave of my brothers in the 542nd Regiment, but I can also guarantee that this place will also become the grave of my brothers in the 542nd Regiment.
It became a Japanese cemetery.”
"I will definitely publicize the heroic deeds of Commander Xie and the brothers in the national army to our Chinese people in the concession, but please don't talk about death lightly. We still have many battles to fight against the Japanese invaders, and we in China still have many battles to fight.
I need you." Boss Du's face was also solemn, but he shook his head slightly.
He walked to a corner where grain was piled and refused the help of Xie Jinyuan and Lei Xiong. He personally moved away more than a dozen bags of white rice and revealed a wooden board. He pulled the wooden board straight away, revealing a dark and still smoking room in the secret room.
Cool and authentic.
"This tunnel has been excavated for more than three years. To be honest with you, Commander, this is one of the escape routes that Du arranged for me. It leads to a concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River, with a length of more than 1,500 meters." Du
The boss pointed at the entrance of the tunnel and said seriously. "If things cannot be done, Commander Xie must not choose to die together. You can evacuate to the concession from here..."
The reason why Boss Du keeps mentioning the concession and even retreating to the concession is because both of them understand that at this time when China and Japan are at war, the Western countries have left Chinese land to the Chinese.
The biggest shame is that the concession has become the only safe island in this war-torn land.
Why is it said that the concession has become a safe island at this time? We must first understand what a concession is. It means that after two countries negotiate a lease or concession charter, one country has administrative autonomy and extraterritoriality on the territory of the other country.
Established legal residence for foreigners.
To put it bluntly, this area is nominally owned by China, but after it was leased by Western countries, foreign residents in the area exercised independent and complete administrative and judicial systems. China has no control over the people in the concession.
It can almost be regarded as a country within a country.
From the time when the Sun Never Sets Empire obtained the first concession from the "Shanghai Concession Regulations" in 1845, to the establishment of the Tianjin Concession by the Third Reich in 1902, there were 27 concessions in China, 25 of which were under the sole management of the concession country.
Concession, 2 public concessions. In Shanghai, there are three concessions from the United States, Britain and France. After years of continuous encroachment and development, the concession area has reached 300,000 acres.
Undoubtedly, the establishment of concessions on Chinese land is a manifestation of the incompetence of China's late Qing government and a shame for the entire Chinese nation. However, at this time, it has become a refuge for the people of Shanghai. Although do not think that these Westerners
Countries with kind hearts turned into great benefactors and had no choice but to accept refugees. With guns in their hands, they could only give in when faced with hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees, but they had to admit that they still sheltered the refugees in the early stages of the war.
Refugees in Songhu area who have nowhere to escape.
According to statistics, in the early days of the Songhu Battle, an average of 30,000 people fled Shanghai every day. However, after the battle, the total population of Shanghai was still as high as 3.5 million. That was the people who fled to the concessions in the suburbs of Shanghai and Jiangsu to survive, plus the urban area.
The original number of refugees was in the millions.
The reason why the 3rd Theater and the 88th Division both chose Sihang Warehouse as the last position in Zhabei, Shanghai is not only because it is strong enough to be a fortress, but the most important reason is that although it is on the north bank of the Suzhou River,
But the Three Kingdoms Concession adjacent to the south bank of the Suzhou River is only 100 meters away.
The Japanese army can only use light weapons to attack, but they will not use heavy artillery with an accuracy of two to three hundred meters. They may not even dare to use aircraft. If a bomb falls on the Western Concession, it is equivalent to invading the Western Concession.
The territories of various countries will inevitably cause international disputes.
The Japanese base camp, which is still counting on getting some ore from American cowboys, has no plans to break up with the Western powers before China has finished its war. To them at this time, it is like rats gnawing at their body.
It is absolutely unacceptable for a seriously ill elephant to touch the tiger's butt when it is already exhausted and pretend to not see anything while it is taking a nap.
In other words, the escape route arranged by Du Yuesheng is absolutely safe. As long as they retreat to the concession, at least the Japanese will not be able to get away with it. Both of them understand this.
The reason why Boss Du only chose to let Xie Jinyuan, the highest commander, know about it was of course for the sake of military morale. You can retreat, but you must not tell everyone that there is a retreat before the war. Once a person has a retreat, his momentum will be weak.
The terms "break the boat and fight to the last resort" are not just for fun. They are all real battle examples. When there is no retreat and no desire to survive, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be doubled.
An army that is not even afraid of death is the most terrifying.
It can be said that whether it is material support or retreat arrangements, Boss Du and Liu Tuanzuo, the strategist behind him, have made perfect arrangements.
However, Xie Jinyuan shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, Boss Du, my brothers and I can't use this road." Xie Jinyuan shook his head. "The military order I received is to guard the Sihang Warehouse to the death, and we will not retreat until the last soldier."
"It's not just to provide cover for my retreating main force." Xie Jinyuan's voice was low and hoarse. "This is our army's last position in downtown Shanghai. If the Japanese invaders want to take it away, they have to pay with their lives.
.Whether it’s theirs or ours.”
"You and your brothers in the national army are real Chinese soldiers." Boss Du looked at this army lieutenant colonel who was the best in this era in terms of appearance and speech, and sighed sincerely. "Forget it, this is
This road can't save your lives, but it can prolong your lives. If you need anything, I can send it to you through this place. The seriously injured can also be transported here. You fight hard at the front, and everything else will be handed over to you.
Give me."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xie Jinyuan took the hand of the emperor of the world and the world and held it tightly.
Although there were only three words "Leave it to me", Xie Jinyuan knew that this was Shanghai Tang's most sincere promise. As long as he said to leave it to him, the seriously injured brother would be fine.
"No, it's not me you should be grateful for." Boss Du shook his head unexpectedly, but he didn't explain much. "Lieutenant Chen and several others are also the most elite soldiers in China..."
"No problem, soldiers are more valuable than more. They have proven their ability." Xie Jinyuan nodded. "If you have the opportunity to meet Commander Liu, please ask Boss Du to say thank you to Xie."
"You are very similar to him." Xie Jinyuan was not surprised to see that he and Liu Lang were very familiar with Boss Du, and his eyes filled with admiration. "But, it's not the same!"
It was a bit baffling to say, but Xie Jinyuan understood. Like, they are all soldiers of the country, and they are determined to protect the country and the country. As for the things that don't look like it, there are too many.
Lang Tuanzuo was not as upright as this one. He would stand firm when receiving military orders. He did not know how many times he had disobeyed military orders.
On this late autumn night, the original defense system of Sihang Warehouse has not only undergone earth-shaking changes due to the participation of Little Butterfly in the future, but the bonus is 100%, doubling it is appropriate.
