After Ichiro Yamamoto returned to the cruiser Izumo, he immediately came to the bridge.
"Your Excellency, General!" Yamamoto Ichiro nodded heavily and said to Hasegawa Kiyoshi, "Please order the remnants of the Broadway Building to be brought up, otherwise they will be killed."
Hasegawa Kiyoshi just frowned and looked out the window, and said in a deep voice: "Yamamoto-kun, do you sympathize with them?"
"Hai!" Yamamoto Ichiro paused heavily and said, "No matter what, Broadway Building is the most loyal friend of the Imperial Army. This time, they have tried their best for the Holy War of the Japanese Empire. Now they are being patrolled by the patrol camp.
We are besieged in the Bund Park and our destruction is imminent. If we fail to save our lives, it will inevitably make people feel chilling."
After a pause, Yamamoto Ichiro continued: "We can't help but worry. After this news spreads, will there be people who are as devoted to the empire as the Broadway Building? Also, will this incident have a negative impact on the Imperial Association in Nanjing?
Will it have a negative impact on the military and even the officials of the entire reform government?"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi suddenly looked back at Yamamoto Ichiro, with a mocking look on his lips.
After a long while, Hasegawa Kiyoshi said teasingly: "Yamamoto-kun, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were the Minister of the Navy or at least the Deputy Chief of the Navy, and I would never believe that you are just a small combat staff officer.
It seems that the issues you just considered are not things that a major officer should consider?"
"Hai." Yamamoto Ichiro's face immediately turned red, he paused and said, "I'm assuming my humble position."
"Is it presumptuous? Mr. Yamamoto, you are exaggerating." Hasegawa Kiyoshi laughed, seemingly trying to excuse Yamamoto Ichiro, but the next moment, he changed the subject and said, "You are not just being presumptuous? You are simply saying
Teach me a lesson, teach me as a fleet commander what I should do and what I should not do."
"Your Excellency, General!" Yamamoto Ichiro broke into a cold sweat immediately.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi groaned and said, "Go down and rest!"
"Hai!" Yamamoto Ichiro paused and went down dejectedly.
Watching Yamamoto Ichiro leave, Hasegawa Kiyoshi waved to the adjutant to come forward.
When the adjutant came up to him, Kiyoshi Hasegawa asked: "Hojo-kun, call the Ninth Division headquarters immediately and ask them if there is any possibility of reversing the situation of the war?"
"Hai!"
(Dividing line)
At the same time, the Ninth Division Headquarters.
The patrol battalion has broken through the outer defense line, broke into the building, and is fighting house-to-house with the security forces and staff of the Ninth Division Headquarters, or to be more precise, the remnants of the Ninth Division Headquarters
The personnel have been compressed into several interconnected rooms with the war room as the core, and are fighting stubbornly.
Such a result is not surprising at all. You must know that the patrol battalion that came to attack the Japanese headquarters had a reinforced battalion with more than a thousand veterans, and all of them were veterans who had experienced the baptism of the Songhu Battle. They had extremely rich experience in street fighting! And the guards
There are not only over a hundred Japanese soldiers in the headquarters, but they are all reserve or reservists.
What's more, Shi Changqing also prepared two combat anti-cannons for the Japanese headquarters!
After using anti-war artillery to blast open the side wall of the first floor of the Japanese headquarters building, the fall of the Japanese headquarters has inevitably entered a countdown. The only remaining suspense is how long the Japanese can hold on?
Nakagawa Hiroshi has realized that he can't hold on for much longer, so he is leading people to burn documents.
"Hurry and get the documents in the cabinet over there and burn them all. Don't keep any of them!"
"And the Rising Sun Flag given by His Majesty the Emperor, hurry up and burn it, oh no, collect all the flags you can find, burn them all, burn them all!"
"What are you idiots doing? I want you to move the documents over here, hurry up!"
Nakagawa Hiroshi was leading people to burn documents in a hurry, when suddenly a figure barged in.
"Go away, don't block my way!" Without thinking, Nakagawa Hiroshi stretched out his hand to push the person away, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he realized that the person who broke in was actually Yoshizumi Ryo, the commander of the 9th Division.
Assistant, his hand froze in the air, and he said with some surprise, "Division Commander, why are you... back again?"
Nakagawa Hiroshi thought Yoshizumi Ryosuke had run away.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke's face immediately darkened. Why did he want to stay? The problem was that he couldn't get out! He took his adjutant and several orderlies to the back door, and was about to slip away, but in the end he let the patrol battalion catch up.
came back, and when they retracted to the headquarters, the patrol battalion had already broken through the main gate and was fighting house to house with the headquarters' security troops. It took a lot of twists and turns for them to finally withdraw to the war room.
.
Moreover, on the way to retreat, the adjutant was also killed.
Six of the eight orderlies were also killed, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke was almost shot!
"Let's not talk about this for now." Yoshizumi Ryosuke waved his hands in shock and asked breathlessly, "How many security personnel are left in the headquarters? How long can we probably hold on?"
Nakagawa Guangton was the first to answer: "Including the staff, there are probably more than a hundred people left. It should be no problem to hold on for two... one... for half an hour, yes, half an hour."
Nakagawa Hiroshi originally wanted to say that he would hold on for two hours, but when he thought about how quickly the gate had been lost, he immediately changed his mind to half an hour. In fact, he felt that half an hour was enough. If nothing else, it would take one minute.
After a few minutes, the headquarters would have been lost, otherwise he would not have been so eager to burn all the documents.
"Bagagaru!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke cursed and asked with a ferocious look on his face, "Isn't there even a single unit to come back for reinforcements?"
Nakagawa Hiroshi immediately replied: "Division commander, the 35th Infantry Regiment and the 7th Infantry Regiment returned to support, but they were ambushed by the patrol battalion on the way back to support, and suffered heavy losses, so they
Withdrawn."
Yoshizumi Ryosuke's face immediately showed a look of despair. Is he really going to die here today?
At this time, Kage Sasaki suddenly hurried in. Seeing Yoshizumi Ryosuke also there, he quickly bowed his head to greet him.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke seemed not to have seen Kagesa Sadaaki. He just stared blankly at the rising sun flag on the wall of the war room that he had not yet taken off. He did not know what he was thinking in his mind.
Kage Sasaki no longer paid attention to Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and said to Nakagawa: "Nakagawa-kun, the navy just sent a telegram asking, is there any possibility of reversing the situation of the war?"
"Is it possible to reverse the situation of the war?" Nakagawa Hiroshi smiled bitterly and asked, "Kage Zuo-kun, why don't you tell me, is it possible to reverse the situation of the war?"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao was dumbfounded, because there was no doubt about this.
Until now, the Japanese army has not even figured out what happened? They don’t know how the thousands of patrol battalions in the Sihang Warehouse emerged, nor do they know who the thousands of patrol battalions in the central area of the concession are.
Where did it come from? They weren't even sure if there would be more patrol camps.
In this case, how to turn the tide of the war?
"I understand!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao sighed and turned around.
Just as Yingzuo Zhenzhao left, there was a sudden explosion outside the door, and then huge smoke and dust poured in violently from the door of the war room. Along with the smoke and dust, there were two corpses, but they were from the headquarters.
The two guards' entire chests and faces had been blown to pieces by grenade fragments.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Nakagawa Hiroshi and a dozen staff officers in the war room were immediately choked by the smoke and coughed.
Nakagawa Hiroshi no longer cared about burning the documents. He pulled out a Southern-style pistol with his backhand, ordered several combat staff officers and shouted: "You guys follow me, guard the door! You guys, the commander of the protection division! Hurry up!"
Seven or eight combat staff officers shouted "Hai" and pulled out their Southern-style pistols one after another, following Hiroshi Nakagawa to the gate. The remaining combat staff officers rushed forward to protect Yoshizumi Ryosuke. At this time, in the war room,
Suddenly, there was an extremely unusual silence outside. No gunshots could be heard, and no explosions could be heard.
However, the more this happened, the more nervous the dozen or so Japs in the war room became.
Including Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Nakagawa Hiroshi, more than a dozen Japanese were afraid to breathe and stared at the door.
After about ten seconds, there was a sudden crunching sound in the smoke ahead, and then, a grenade that was smoking outward rolled in and stopped right in front of Nakagawa Hiroshi's eyes.
Nakagawa Hiroshi's pupils shrank sharply in an instant, he shouted Baga, turned over and wanted to lie down on the ground.
But it was too late. Before Nakagawa Hiroshi could lie down, the grenade had already exploded. Immediately afterwards, the dazzling red light completely filled the entire war room, and then the air wave generated by the explosion swept everything, and Nakagawa was swept away.
Hiro and the two combat staff members closest to him were overturned to the ground, and Hiro Nakagawa was directly killed.
The remaining seven or eight staff officers were frightened and instinctively opened fire, shooting violently at the door.
But the silence outside the door once again returned, and seven or eight staff officers also stopped shooting. Only one young staff officer was overly nervous and continued to pull the trigger after firing a magazine, and the gun fired continuously.
There was a sound of emptying the warehouse, and an older combat officer next to him immediately slapped him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
After a while, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and it was spoken in Japanese: "People inside, listen, you have been surrounded, and continuing to resist will only lead to death! As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, we will ensure your safety."
, we will also guarantee your human rights and will never humiliate you!"
The remaining seven or eight staff officers looked at each other with ferocious expressions.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke was also completely desperate. He pulled out the saber with his backhand, held the middle of the saber with both hands, then turned it over and pointed the tip of the knife at his abdomen. By this time, Yoshizumi Ryosuke had already understood.
It is absolutely impossible to escape. If you don't want to be a prisoner, you can only commit suicide by committing seppuku.
