Yu Zhiqian gave the order, and all the defending soldiers on the second floor pulled down the grenade safety tab without hesitation. Some soldiers were still a little nervous.
"two!"
When Yu Zhiqian said two, two soldiers threw them out nervously, but Yu Zhiqian did not stop him. After waiting for about a second, he shouted again: "One! Throw it away!"
As he spoke, the soldiers who had not yet thrown the grenades all threw the grenades out of the windows uniformly. Dozens of grenades fell out of the windows on the second and third floors.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"..."
The Japanese soldiers standing against the wall downstairs were unable to advance or retreat. They kept trying to find a way to rush in. However, every Japanese soldier who climbed over the wall and rushed in was shot dead. No one survived. Now the courage of the Japanese soldiers has been wiped out. Some soldiers waited to be able to retreat.
Then several grenades fell from upstairs. Several Japanese soldiers who were relatively close were startled and took a few steps back to avoid the explosion range of the grenades. However, before they could go far, the roof of the building was like Dozens of grenades fell like rain, covering the entire area downstairs.
"Grenade!" A sergeant dropped a grenade on his head, and he reached out to catch it. When he saw the thing in his hand, he immediately screamed in horror, but the time left was only enough for him to shout a grenade, and then Just a series of explosions.
What is the effect of dozens of grenades scattered in an area, exploding almost at the same time? If it is in the dark night, looking down from a high altitude, it feels like watching a fireworks, extremely beautiful, with dozens of grand fireworks blooming at the same time.
But it is daytime now, and there is still some time before dark. The Japanese at the center of the explosion did not think so. The moment the explosion occurred, the explosion swallowed up at least a hundred Japanese around them. The Japanese soldiers around them He was killed without even reacting.
There are also some people who blocked part of the power of the explosion, but have been injured. Their arms, legs, chest and other places were more or less hit by grenade shrapnel. These people were lying on the ground and kept wailing, but what was waiting for them was not reinforcements. , but another round of grenade bombing.
After the two rounds of grenade bombing, almost all the Japanese soldiers close to the building were cleared away. Far away from the battlefield, on a tall building, a group of people were observing the situation on the battlefield.
Several young people are holding loudspeakers made of iron sheets in their hands and are broadcasting live.
"The Chinese army counterattacked. The Japanese were hiding under the Sihang Warehouse and shivering. The Japanese were trying to find a way to enter the Sihang Warehouse. More than a dozen Japanese have already entered the Sihang Warehouse!"
When they said this, the people around them who were listening to their speech felt nervous. Only these young people around them had telescopes and were constantly broadcasting live broadcasts. More people could only watch blankly because the distance was a bit far and they could not see at all. Without knowing what happened over there in the Sihang Warehouse, all we could see was the blue sky and the white sun flag flying in the air, which meant that there were still Chinese troops resisting there.
The sun began to set in the west, and the day of October 26th slowly passed away, but more and more people gathered here. They all stared at the blue sky and white sun flag that was constantly flying in the distance. As long as they knew this flag,
China has not failed.
"The defenders in Sihang Warehouse dropped a lot of things from upstairs. They were too small to see clearly, but they should be grenades. They were grenades. The grenades exploded. The Japanese hiding around the warehouse were unlucky. The grenades exploded violently.
, the Japanese fell in droves!"
"Long live China!"
"Long live China!"
The people around screamed with excitement. The news that the Japanese were killed in a bomb spread by word of mouth. Finally, a group of people screamed with excitement. Even people in the Sihang Warehouse could hear the explosion in the distance.
The voice of support came.
The Japanese also heard it. Soon a group of Japanese came downstairs and started to disperse the crowd. This was the earliest live broadcast and was forced to be interrupted. But soon, this group of people found a new place to broadcast again.
, report the battle situation at Sihang Warehouse to all of Shanghai.
After the two rounds of explosions, the Japanese casualties were at least 200. This number has exceeded the historical results of four days and four nights at Sihang Warehouse. Although Yu Zhiqian and others were not large in number, they brought great consequences to the defenders.
The changes are huge.
First of all, Dai Qiang killed Koudaharaji. This caused the Japanese command behind them to be in chaos. They were searching for Chinese soldiers who might be hiding around to prevent someone from attacking them. Some officers of a brigade on the front line were also killed, and the sergeant did not dare.
After giving the order to retreat, this brigade could only hold on and continue the attack when the attack was unfavorable.
However, after this round of bombings killed nearly one-third of the brigade, the attacking brigade finally could no longer withstand it and began to retreat. The Japanese soldiers quickly fled in the direction they came from.
The Japanese retreated in a very orderly manner, unlike after the failure of the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army did not care about the head and tail. They all retreated with cross cover. In this case, if they pursued, they would suffer big losses.
However, the Chinese army was stationed in the warehouse and had the advantage of a high point. The Japanese's rigid tactical awareness once again made them suffer. The defenders on the third floor and above could clearly see where the Japanese were hiding, and they carried out their operations in a leisurely manner.
shooting.
Although the retreating Japanese had cover shooting, as the sky darkened, it was difficult for them to aim at a head in the window. This is not a game. Just keep your sights on the target. There are many factors to consider.
, the Japanese could only shoot at rough targets and pray that their emperor could protect them, but this time the emperor did not stand on their side.
But contrary to their situation, the Chinese army can easily target them. After all, it is easier to target a person's body than a head. One person cannot shoot accurately, but more than ten people can target one person at the same time.
There will always be a bullet that hits the Japanese.
The retreating Japanese fell almost one after another. There were about 300 people, and when they finally fled around the corner in panic, there were only more than 100 people.
The temporary commander looked at his subordinates who had returned with a very ugly face. He looked at the officers below and yelled with all his strength: "Shame, this is the shame of the Japanese Empire. From the three northeastern provinces to the city of Beiping,
Going to Shanghai, the warriors of the Japanese Empire were invincible. A large group of you attacked a warehouse where 800 Chinese troops were stationed. More than 500 people were killed in the battle. Before it was captured, how did you ask me to explain to the general and how to explain to the general?
The Emperor tells you to commit seppuku!"
After finishing speaking, he threw a saber to the captain of the third brigade. The captain tremblingly picked up the saber in his hand, bent over, bowed, and slowly withdrew. Do Japanese people like to commit seppuku?
?Nonsense, no one likes to commit suicide, it’s just the Japanese exaggerating to promote their samurai spirit at that time.
Of course, there are indeed some fanatics who like to commit seppuku to show their loyalty, and there are many in the army, but they are definitely not those who have become officers.
But the major finally chose to commit seppuku. There was no other way. If he didn't take the initiative, his family in Japan would be implicated. This was his only way. If he was shot, his family in Japan would be humiliated.
After the captain in charge of the offensive committed seppuku, the temporary commander received a call from Matsui Iwane. Originally, this kind of trivial matter was a trivial matter to Matsui Iwane, but because it was related to Japan's face, he had to pay attention.
Today's entry ceremony has been ruined. If this Chinese army cannot be wiped out quickly, the Japanese will lose face internationally. Matsui Iwane even received a warning from the Army Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, General, Kudaharaji has been shattered. I am Mizu Fujiwara. There was a problem with our attack just now. The third group of more than 500 warriors was unable to conquer the warehouse held by the Chinese!"
Matsui Iwane had just finished everything and took advantage of the opportunity to understand the situation. However, he did not expect to receive this news. He frowned and said, "Tell me the specific situation!"
"The Chinese army is very cunning. The buildings they chose are very strong. We used planes and mortars to bomb, but they failed to blow open the walls. The soldiers rushed into the warehouse and never came out. There were also machine guns on the wings.
The position has formed a firepower network. If our infantry brigade passes by, it will be attacked before it even gets close to the building!"
After listening, Tengquanshui continued to report: "On both sides are the British Lease and Jiangbian, so we can't attack, so we can only attack from the front. Our attack is blocked, please ask for tactical guidance!"
"I will send tanks and artillery to support you, as well as bombers. Today, this warehouse must be captured! Otherwise, you will commit seppuku to thank the emperor!"
"Hayi!"
After hanging up the phone, Tengquanshui immediately became busy. He began to hold meetings with his subordinates to discuss tactics, found the structural diagram of Sihang Warehouse, and marked out the firepower points one after another.
"What good way do you have to attack the warehouse?"
The Sihang Warehouse was just a giant turtle shell. After seeing the structural diagram, the Japanese had almost no intention of blowing it up before attacking. The amount of factories required was simply too large and unrealistic.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I think we need to occupy all the surrounding buildings now. In this case, our people can suppress fire in the buildings and cover the infantry attack!"
After looking at the terrain map, a captain pointed to several buildings on the map. Teng Quanshui looked at the buildings and slowly shook his head: "These buildings have all been turned into ruins. When the imperial bombers attacked Shanghai
, once carried out large-scale bombing of Shanghai, this used to be the headquarters of the 88th Division of the Chinese Army and was the focus of the bombing. The surrounding buildings are gone!"
After hearing what Fujiwarazu said, the captain sat back silently. The area around the Sihang Warehouse was quite prosperous, and there were several high-rise buildings not far away. If the Japanese took over, they would set up machine guns in the windows and the Sihang Warehouse.
The warehouses were shooting at each other, and the defenders must have been hard-pressed to withstand them, but it is a pity that these buildings have long since ceased to exist.
"Then the tank will take the lead, and we will attack behind. We will concentrate our superior forces, blow open the gate, and rush in from here. As long as we open a gap, we can drive straight in!"
After discussing for about half an hour, a tactic was agreed upon, and the tank regiment sent by Matsui Iwane had arrived. There were about twenty tanks, a tank brigade, and sixteen 75mm mountain guns, which were also a
Artillery Brigade.
At the same time, the Air Force has dispatched five bombers and is on their way. It can be said that the Japanese are very well prepared for this second attack and are ready to capture the Sihang Warehouse in one fell swoop.
"Boss, the Japanese are coming. They have twenty Betan tanks and they have been assembled!"
"Twenty cars?"
After Yu Zhiqian heard Dai Qiang's report, he quickly went to the top of the building and looked into the distance. Did the Japanese gather such a large force today? This plot is different. Historically, the Japanese had a small fight in the first two days.
It wasn't until the third day that one regiment came over, and then two more regiments came, but now it seems that Japan is getting serious.
"Are the Japanese crazy?"
Yu Zhiqian frowned and thought. He didn't quite understand why the Japanese were different from those in history. The Japanese might not have thought of how hard his afternoon broadcast slapped the Japanese in the face. At least the Japanese thought so.
If the battle at Shihang Warehouse cannot be ended as soon as possible, Iwane Matsui will probably be held accountable by the Emperor.
"How's the situation, sir?"
Xie Jinyuan admires Yu Zhiqian now. He used to think that Yu Zhiqian was a gold-plated or a brainless idiot. There are many in the army. But after one afternoon, he saw that Yu Zhiqian is a very talented person. Now Xie Jin encounters something.
Yuan will discuss with Yu Zhiqian and most of the time adopt Yu Zhiqian's suggestions.
"Not very optimistic. The Japanese have gathered twenty tanks and mountain artillery. They will probably bomb us from planes later, ready to eat us!"
Taking the telescope handed over by Yu Zhiqian, Xie Jinyuan looked at the Japanese temporary headquarters in the distance: "Sir, as for tanks, we still have some mortars and a 20mm anti-tank gun, but we don't have much ammunition!
"
"Where?"
"On the third floor!"
"Move him to the fifth or sixth floor. Don't expose him yet. The enemy's tank's range of fire is not very high. I'll teach the enemy a lesson later!"
"yes!"
"By the way, do you still have enough ammunition?"
“Quite enough!”
"Notify brothers, pick up all the weapons and ammunition supplies from the devils in the corner. We must be prepared for a protracted war this time. We must be like nails, staring at the city of Shanghai to let the devils
Go back, the Chinese army is not made of dough. The Japanese want to destroy us in three months, but if we give them three months, they will not even be able to occupy Shanghai!"
