Although the results of the 150 artillery shells fired rapidly could not be verified under the shroud of darkness, I knew with my heels that the ill-intentioned Japs' heavy machine gun positions would never yield good results.
Xie Jinyuan now has no intention of knowing how many heavy machine guns have been blown up. What he is worried about is how to face the military orders transmitted through manpower in the war zone.
Chen Yunfa bared his teeth and smiled: "The person who comes to issue military orders, does he have anything to prove his identity?"
Seeing Xie Jinyuan's brows furrowed, Chen Yunfa added: "The message has a code and can be deciphered by the enemy and falsely transmit military orders. Wouldn't it be easier to forge the seal on the handwritten military order? Such a thing , you give me a carrot, and I can even engrave you with the seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs."
I have to admit that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Chen Yunfa has been influenced by the Lang Tuan Zodiac sign for so many years. He has a certain demeanor of the Lang Tuan Zodiac sign in speaking and doing. His ability to tell lies with his eyes open is also as good as his mouth.
After opening his mouth, Xie Jinyuan finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Tie up the unidentified person who came last night, gag me and beat me. Damn it, the little devil can't get in, but he started You gave me a trick with fake military orders. I almost fell for it. Damn it, beat me hard."
"Zinenliang is really dangerous. He even hit a ball and I killed him with one shot." As the commander of the first company, Lei Xiong naturally knew that someone had sneaked in to deliver military orders, so he was naturally angry at this moment. Gotta scream.
"Just punish him. Leave him alone, I can still use him." Xie Jinyuan's eyes twitched slightly.
"Then let the little devil have a taste of my fist."
...
Chen Yunfa could only sympathize with the spy from the Investigation Bureau of the Military Commission who risked his life to sneak into the Sihang Warehouse. Only his former opponent knew how powerful Lei Xiong's big fist was. With one punch, ordinary people could Half your life could be lost.
However, the spy must bear the charge of falsely passing military orders, otherwise it will be Xie Jinyuan and the Sixing Warehouse defenders' turn to bear the charge of disobeying military orders. This means that Xie Jinyuan's heart is not hard enough. If he had been more ruthless, The spy who "falsely passed on military orders" was shot to death, and his death was considered in vain.
The heavy machine gun positions that the Japanese army had prepared long ago have proved the reasonable judgment of "fake military orders". As a frontline general, killing a spy who dares to fool the defenders, isn't that the same as killing a chicken?
But obviously, after Chen Yunfa proved the uneasy good intentions of the Japanese army, Xie Jinyuan, who had always been hesitant, had already acquiesced to Chen Yunfa's suggestion. Faced with military orders, the lives of hundreds of brothers under his command, and his ideals, he finally chose the latter option. By.
The wheel of history was finally changed a little bit by Liu Lang, a little butterfly here, although it was almost insignificant, and it could even be said to have no impact on the entire Battle of Songhu.
But after all, the Battle of Sihang Warehouse was not like it once was. After holding on for three days and three nights and killing a large number of Japanese troops, they were forced to withdraw into the Western Concession. They were disarmed and detained by the Western Concession with great humiliation. An elite team Just as Colonel Wakiitajiro planned, his army became a toothless tiger and completely became his trophy.
Until daytime on November 1, the Sihang Warehouse was still in the hands of the Chinese army, and the national flag was still flying high on the roof. Although there were traces of smoke and holes torn by shrapnel, it still proved that Shanghai The last position in the urban area is still in the hands of the Chinese army.
Japanese Army Shanghai Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, remained silent for a long time after receiving the battle report from Colonel Jiro Wakiba of the 36th Infantry Regiment, the only infantry regiment left in Zhabei, Shanghai.
As one of the most arrogant Japanese army generals who clamored for war against China, Iwane Matsui is the most determined war activist against China in the Japanese army. The reason why this Class-A war criminal who was sentenced to hanging for condoning the massacre can serve as Japan's
The commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force is, firstly, because he is a recognized expert in critical warfare; secondly, because he is a China expert and has a good understanding of China; and thirdly, it is just because he is a reserve general.
Because the Japanese government is very clear that if a war breaks out in an economic city like Shanghai, it may cause a backlash from the international community. Therefore, it found a reserve general like Matsui Iwane and asked him to command this war. From input and this
The original idea was to fight a local war in the Shanghai area. However, the Japanese government did not expect that the 59-year-old Matsui Iwane did not think so because he knew that this was his last chance to make a name for himself.
.
From the beginning, his plan was to fight in Nanjing and become a general who would open up and expand the empire. Although in the end he realized his ideal and successfully sent himself to the gallows, becoming the most typical
"If you don't seek death, you won't die".
But at this time, for such a Japanese commander, he would not tolerate a small Chinese force resisting in his rear under any circumstances. Whether it was for political or military reasons, he would not tolerate it.
This enemy must be destroyed.
Wakibajiro's request for the deployment of two 120mm cannons to participate in the battle against the Four Lines Warehouse. The 9th Division headquarters did not dare to make the decision without authorization, and instead handed the request and battle report of the 36th Infantry Regiment to the dispatched army headquarters.
, ask the army general to make a decision.
Of course, Matsui Iwane knew very well that the biggest reliance of the Sixing Warehouse was not the solid wall, but the fact that we were backed by the concession and did not dare to use heavy artillery. Once heavy artillery was used, Japan would be greatly passive in international diplomacy.
It's like a fight between two neighbors. Several other neighbors are watching a show, but unexpectedly one of them hits the audience with a bench and beats them to death. Those who are watching the show don't immediately support the other party.
He screamed that something was going on, and maybe even fucked the guy, and several parties ganged up on the irrational one.
So Matsui Iwane was also hesitant and did not make a decision for a long time.
In fact, the general is still more angry in his heart. He is angry that the empire is not strong enough. If the empire is strong enough, then he still needs to worry about those Westerners? A 240-meter heavy artillery was brought in, and while the four rows of warehouses were destroyed by a few shots,
You can also send those arrogant Westerners back to their hometown.
As a descendant of a down-and-out samurai, Matsui Iwane knew how the Westerners used strong ships and cannons to open the door of Japan and wantonly plundered silver resources from the barren soil of the Japanese island. Yes, Japan is very poor, but it has
They have abundant reserves of silver, so unfortunately they have also been targeted by Western powers. For more than a hundred years, they have been plundered by Western powers who have rarely entered the industrial age early, even more so than China, a big country in China.
Psychologically speaking, the Japanese have hated Westerners for a long time. It’s just that the Japanese nation is very strange. When faced with people who are stronger than themselves, although they resist mentally, their bodies fall. They especially like to hug their thick legs and shout
Baba.
Of course, if he becomes stronger than the former Baba, it will be another face. For example, now, Japan, which has been low-key and developed for more than a hundred years since the Meiji Restoration, feels that it is already a world-class power and is already qualified.
After bargaining with those former Babas, the hearts of everyone from high-ranking officials to the people have begun to stir. Although the future Pearl Harbor will be considered an extremely stupid war in later generations, in fact, if you look at the characteristics of the Japanese nation,
It is not difficult to understand why they made such a stupid choice to drag the giant United States into the war.
That's because they drifted.
In front of their neighbor China, they have gained too much confidence. They will know that the American cowboys have built warships and aircraft that they could not build in ten years in just two years, and they have even invested in the "Fat Man"
The anxious American cowboys are not good people when it comes to research on the "bomb". Seeing Ya Ting's dissatisfaction, he even formed a kamikaze squad and threw two "big fat guys" directly. If he still refused to accept it, he would have several more prepared.
Yeah! If you have the ability, let me carry it to my death.
After all, what ultimately determined whether Matsui Iwane agreed or not was his attitude towards the war. He was undoubtedly a war madman, coupled with his dislike of Westerners since he was a child. After hesitating for more than ten minutes, he finally agreed with Jiro Wakita.
Colonel's request.
Two "120 mm cannons" were transported to the front line of Sihang Warehouse in the afternoon.
At the invitation of Wakitajiro to show off his power, the garrison generals in the Western Concession saw the scene of more powerful cannons firing at the Sixing Warehouse.
As a straight-bore gun, the cannon rarely deviates from its target, especially when the Japanese army also dispatched the most experienced gunners. Two cannon shells hit the four-row warehouse very accurately, blasting the walls of the four-row warehouse visible to the naked eye.
The two big pits
However, the 120-caliber artillery shell is still not powerful enough to directly penetrate the one-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall of the Sixing Warehouse. However, the large crater nearly half a meter deep has proved that the Japanese army dared to use heavy artillery to bomb the Sixing Warehouse.
Determination.
While the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse put down their fears, the consuls in the Western Concession were going crazy. Who knows if the frantic Japanese would use their 240 heavy artillery after discovering that the 120 heavy artillery bombardment was fruitless?
If two large gas tanks were detonated and exploded, half of the concession would be blown into ashes. At that time, there would be no point in fighting against those lunatics.
The consuls of Western countries even bypassed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and went directly to the bald man. The anxious bald man could only issue several strict orders to the third theater to contact Xie Jinyuan and retreat as soon as possible. The League of Nations was about to meet, and China
The support of these Western countries must be obtained.
This is actually the most important reason why the bald man still insists on not withdrawing troops from Songhu. Although it turns out that in front of a group of jackals, sheep cannot gain their sympathy. Their eyes will always only focus on the freshness of the sheep.
flesh and blood, rather than the wailing cry of a sheep hoping to live.
The Japanese were dancing on the edge of their swords, but they succeeded.
After just two shots, the Westerners became even more intimidated, and the Chinese government once again faced unprecedented pressure.
Wakitajiro laughed again. He didn't believe that the Chinese could persist any longer. The Chinese used the Western concessions as shields, so he would "repay the other in the same way" and used the Westerners as spears to pierce through this world.
Like a strong but vulnerable fortress.
No matter how impregnable a fortress is, can it resist decay from within?
For a country to be able to fight bravely on its own land and still be blocked by others is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. But this joke that has made countless future generations painful to hear happened just like that in the suffering land of China.
China must be strong no matter what. Otherwise, this kind of joke will happen again.
Liu Lang stood in the military camp, looking at the battle report from the front that was handed over like snowflakes, his face as cold as frost.
