From three o'clock in the afternoon, perhaps guessing that the Chinese wanted to dig a tunnel to escape, the Japanese army's digging speed increased crazily.
It would have been embarrassing to say that I used to use various damaged buildings to cover up, but later I simply threw away my arms and did my best. Visible to the naked eye, there are field trenches 1.5 meters wide and two meters deep. Traffic trenches are oriented from left, center, right, and in all directions.
The warehouse is approaching.
At first he was too lazy to pay attention to them, but in order to show his anxiety properly, Lei Xiong finally organized people to set up light and heavy machine guns and shoot down from the fourth floor. Although the range of the mortars was out of reach, they were about two hundred meters away.
After firing for a while, the Japanese army's position was filled with smoke.
Seeing this made the Chinese people on the south bank of the Suzhou River feel heartbroken.
No matter how ignorant they are about military affairs, they also know that when the Japanese army, who are like groundhogs, dig trenches under the Sihang Warehouse, it will be the end of the Sihang Warehouse defenders. But this kind of condescending shooting by the warehouse defenders really has no effect.
The Japanese troops were hiding in deep trenches, and there was earth dug out by them as fortifications above the trenches. Even though the bullets fired diagonally caused the earth to scatter everywhere, they really didn't hit many people.
Not to mention mortars, they hit the back, but there are more and more Japanese troops in front, and the speed of digging under the bullets is not slow at all. If you want to stop them, unless you are the one who can throw explosive packets or grenades into the trenches
.But that is an impossible task!
If we say that the most anxious people on the entire battlefield were probably the Chinese people on the south bank of the Suzhou River who watched helplessly as the Japanese troops dug in for a day.
Even Smart, the commander of the concession garrison, admired the Japanese commander who came up with this trick only after being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. If it were him, he would not be able to do anything even if he came up with this trick.
Yong. As a commander, he knows the capabilities of his men. His soldiers are not at this level for such high-intensity civil engineering work.
The Japanese are more powerful than he thought!
It is a pity that those brave Chinese are going to die in the battle. Brigadier General Smartet sighed slightly in his heart, and at the same time prepared to order the evacuation of the Chinese people gathered on the south bank. If his guess is correct, the Japanese will soon use
Excavate tunnels and blast to deliver the final fatal blow to Sihang Warehouse.
The shock wave and brick fragments of the explosion will definitely have a certain impact on the concession dozens of meters away from the Sihang Warehouse, but even if they knew it, the concession authorities would only suffer a dumb loss, who failed to convince the Chinese to move those extremely stubborn gangs
Where was it taken away by the Chinese army?
I'm afraid this stubborn old man with a goatee didn't expect that the Japanese were much bolder than he thought. They were planning to blow up the entire Sihang Warehouse into the sky so that the Western Concession would be covered in blood.
For example, now, watching the Chinese shooting in vain, the field trenches are digging crazily towards the target with the efforts of three infantry squadrons. The expressions on the faces of two Japanese junior officers and a baton commander clearly say: Spring is coming, spring is coming.
The footsteps are getting closer...
"Report, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the Chinese are found to be underground." A second lieutenant officer ran in panting and reported.
"Yo Xi!" Wakiitajiro subconsciously exclaimed. "The Chinese really want to escape."
Just after I finished speaking, I suddenly realized that something was not right. What Baga said was different from what I thought! If the Chinese want to run away, shouldn't they be digging toward the Western Concession? What does it mean to dig toward my buddy?
Throw yourself into a trap? Still think that the brothers are digging too slowly to dig a tunnel for us?
For a moment, several Japanese military officers who had been glowing just now were a little confused. How should I put it? It was the kind of person who had made an appointment with the PAO on WeChat to get a room, take a shower and lie down on the bed, only to find that the person who opened the door and walked in was a guy with hairy legs and a hairy chest.
I still need to have a bit more of the mentality of a big man.
Baga! This is different from our beautiful ideas!
At the same time, in the Sixing Warehouse, Lei Xiong's loud voice could be heard almost forty meters away: "Ri Nenliang, brothers, hurry up and fill me with sandbags! Block the tunnel entrance, 00 kilograms! Hurry,
It’s almost the last minute. Also, plug your ears.”
There are three tunnels extending outward, and 300 kilograms of explosives are neatly stacked at the top of each tunnel, just waiting for the hard-working prairie dogs of the Japanese to dig the trenches. As soon as they are dug through, they will be ignited and exploded.
Already.
In fact, there was no need for Lei Xiong to shout. The soldiers, who were already well aware of the power of explosives, knew that once it exploded, the huge shock wave would not only kill the Japanese, but also part of the shock wave would rush down the tunnel.
, 00 kilograms! That’s a big guy that can blast an infantry company into the sky. Why don’t they block the tunnel entrance and wait for the shock wave to kill their own people? The soldiers frantically pulled up the brothers who were responsible for tunnel observation like mud monkeys, and then
The sandbags that had been prepared on the side were filled into the tunnel entrance that was nearly 5 meters vertically. It was not enough, and a dozen more bags were piled on top.
Several windows of the Sihang Warehouse facing the south bank of the Suzhou River had already hung signs that read "All people retreat 00 meters and plug their ears." People who were confronting Western Concession soldiers with live ammunition saw these signs.
The hairs on my hair stood on end. Why did I have to run so far to plug my ears?
In the past few days, they have become very familiar with the group of national army brothers across from them. They are all desperate for their lives. They said that if they retreat 300 meters and plug their ears, it means that something big is about to happen.
There is nothing to be afraid of if you die under the gun of the Japanese, but if you are killed by one of your own people, it will still be a bit aggrieved. Once the news spreads, this group of common people with unique Chinese wisdom will still be friendly to foreigners.
A confrontation with Mao Zi? What a stupid confrontation! Run to a safer place quickly.
Seeing that the tens of thousands of Chinese who were originally confronting them suddenly poured into the streets of the concession like a tide, a group of people who were still arrogant were ready to fire two shots into the sky to scare away these ignorant and backward Chinese people.
The blue-eyed people from officers to soldiers are all confused. What the hell is this? When did you guys become so wise and powerful? Only one infantry battalion scared away tens of thousands of Chinese people?
The Japanese in the trenches looked at the dug tunnels and felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. A row of people pointed their guns at the entrance of the tunnels that had been accidentally dug while digging the trenches, but they did not dare to enter rashly, in case there was someone squatting inside.
What about the Chinese people who are desperate for their lives?
Although the Bangchui guys are stupid, they care about their lives very much. They had already found out clearly before the reinforcements were sent here. There are a bunch of Chinese people in Sihang Warehouse who don't care about their lives. They can't even risk their lives for military glory.
If one of them is brave enough to jump down and take a look, they will be surprised to find that there are no Chinese people in the tunnel, only a pile of materials wrapped in oil paper. If they get closer, they will be even more surprised.
I discovered that that thing is called dynamite.
Moreover, such explosives were placed in three places, but the other two tunnels had not been dug by them yet. They were either still a few meters away from them, or, because they were too deep, they were right under their feet.
"Why did those Chinese people who were watching all run away?" Colonel Bangchui was the first to react.
"Nani?" Wakitajiro, who was confused, was stunned for a moment, picked up the telescope and looked towards the south bank of Suzhou River.
It turned out that the "war fans" in China's home stadium, who were so hated by the darkness across the river bank, were really missing, and there were quite a few shoes left on the scene.
There is no way. I once had the experience of brothers from the national army blasting a building. The Chinese people were very upset. If you lose your shoes, you can look for them. But if your head is hit, but the shoes are useless, you will run away.
necessary.
"The Chinese have a conspiracy..." Wakitajiro's eyes were extremely gloomy.
Kitajima Takeo and Colonel Bangchui nodded at the same time without thinking. Even dogs know this.
That is, I don’t know how the conspiracy is going to be...anyway, they are extremely sure that they are the ones being tricked.
"We dug tunnels to bomb the Chinese, but if they dug tunnels not to escape, what would they do?" Jiro Wakita showed his extremely wise side at this time.
If Lei Xiong were here, he would definitely give him a slap in the face and praise twice: "Hi Nenliang, this commander is really not in vain. Your ideas are very correct. I will give you some inspiration.
You almost figured it out."
"They are not going to blow us up!" Commander Bangchui's face looked a little ugly.
Hearing what he said, Wakiitajiro's face... How should I put it? It was like a certain captain who had just had an affair outside and came home very happily, only to see his wife and seven or eight men, who were still good friends.
The kind, like they are having sex fiercely...
"Baga! Order..."
He wanted to shout that the hard-working prairie dogs on the front line should evacuate quickly. Because, through the rare light of the past, Captain Bangchui, Wakibajiro was so frightened that he couldn't help but shrink back. The Chinese people actually thought what they thought.
Likewise, they planned to dig a tunnel to blow up the other person, but the other person dug a tunnel to blow up them first.
However, before he could finish his words, Lei Xiong, who was lying on the ground behind the wall in the warehouse, roared ferociously, "Detonate!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" Three deafening explosions came from hundreds of meters away, and the Japanese commander's words were choked back in his throat.
What followed was a sudden tremor, and dust kept falling into the mouths of the three Japanese officers and soldiers who were looking at the front in disbelief with their mouths wide open and crying without tears...
My heart was so tired... Wakiitajiro's tears fell down.
The 6th Infantry Regiment here changed from a regiment to a brigade, replenished its troops and fought again, and then from a regiment to a half brigade. As a tough Imperial Japanese Army soldier, he did not shed tears. But now, it is
I can only cry.
The Chinese are simply so bad, bad to the core.
You guys understand when you dig tunnels and want to run away. Who doesn’t want to live? You dig tunnels and put explosives. You guys understand it. Everyone is smart. But you, are you a rat? You don’t sleep at night.
Once dug, there are three!
Is it still possible? Three sides are fried. You are not leaving any way to survive! (To be continued)
