The light rain in the morning, after an hour or two of brewing, became heavier and heavier in the sky. Finally, the cool autumn rain slowly turned into a curtain of rain, and finally became heavier and heavier, and the heavy rain began to pour.
There was a big hole on the roof of the building. The defenders on the roof wore raincoats and stood firm in the rain. The soldiers on the sixth floor also received similar treatment. Some sleeping soldiers got soaked by the rain and were replaced with ones that did not leak.
Place to continue sleeping.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and finally the heavy rain blocked the view. Now the line of sight that can be seen is no more than 30 meters. This is still observing from a high place, and if you look ahead, you will see a vast expanse of rain.
In the Japanese military camp, Ito Masaki hung up the phone and rubbed his temples. He waited all night, but there was still no good news from the front line. It was not until early in the morning that he heard news from the front line. The attack was once again
Despite the defeat, the Sihang Warehouse still has not been taken down.
"Tonight, I am going to invite ambassadors from various countries in Shanghai to a dinner. I hope this matter can be over before then. I don't want to become a laughing stock at the banquet because of this matter!" Matsui Iwane ordered this to Ito Masaki.
a command.
"Inform everyone to come over for a meeting!"
Soon all the officers under the 101st Division rushed to Ito Masaki. Among them, the 101st Regiment Captain Sanbei's head was almost stuffed into his crotch. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"I just had a phone call with General Matsui Iwane. Your Excellency the General will hold a celebration banquet today. He will invite the ambassadors from the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Your Excellency the General does not want to make a fool of himself at the celebration banquet, so he asked me to start the dinner tonight.
Before, take down the Sihang Warehouse!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sanbei. Sanbei immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Yesterday, their alliance sacrificed so much and failed to capture the Sihang Warehouse. He knew that he needed to bear the responsibility.
Full responsibility.
"Your Majesty General, the Chinese have started broadcasting!"
Just when Ito Masaki was about to cause trouble for Sanbei, a soldier hurriedly walked into the tent. Ito Masaki's face turned cold: "Broadcast?"
"Yes!"
"Turn on me and listen!"
Soon the soldier adjusted the channel of the radio station in Ito Masaki's house, and Yu Zhiqian's voice came from inside.
"... Citizens of Shanghai, fellow Chinese compatriots, our 524th Regiment, after a fierce battle yesterday afternoon and all day and night, killed more than a thousand Japanese troops, wounded countless others, and seized 1,400 weapons and rifles, not counting bullets, and light
Thirty-six machine guns, including fifty-seven Japanese officers, Lieutenant Colonel..."
As Ito Masaki listened, the translator beside him translated the message to Ito Masaki with a nervous look on his face.
After Ito Masaki heard the number, he got a little excited and pulled out his knife and shouted: "Baga!"
He walked quickly towards Sanbei. When Sanbei saw it, he knelt on the ground directly: "General, give me another chance. I will definitely take down the Four Lines Warehouse, otherwise I will commit suicide to thank the Emperor!"
Ito Masaki's sword was less than ten centimeters away from Sanbei, and it stopped abruptly. Through the reflection of the lens, you could see the killing intent in Ito Masaki's eyes, but it stopped abruptly.
Ito Masaki slowly raised the sword in his hand and flipped it around in the air. Then with a sudden stroke, Sanbei's little finger was cut off, but Sanbei endured the pain and did not dare to scream.
, still kneeling on the ground, letting blood flow from his little finger.
"Originally, if you didn't take down the Four Lines Warehouse before dawn today, you should commit suicide by committing seppuku. But now I give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. I hope you will cherish it. If you don't break through the Four Lines Warehouse before dark, my knife will
The chop will be on your head!"
"Hayi!"
"Get down!"
"Hayi!"
After dealing with Sanbei's soldiers, Ito Masaki looked at the rest of the people: "You all have things to do, don't think it's Sanbei's business alone. You have to be responsible for providing him with certain support. Artillery Regiment
, one hour before Sanbei was about to attack, if I was bombarded continuously, even if the Sihang Warehouse was made of iron, I would still have to blast a gap!"
"Hayi!"
After Ito Masaki's order came down, the Japanese camp became busy again. Sanbei covered his right hand and returned to the regiment. He quickly found a doctor to bandage his finger and then bandaged it.
All officers are assembled.
"General Ito cut off one of my little fingers. Commander Matsui Iwane is going to hold a celebration banquet tonight. Your Excellency, Commander, does not want the Chinese troops at Sihang Warehouse to be there before the banquet. I have already had one of my fingers cut off.
If you can’t get the Sihang Warehouse before sunset today, I think you all should know what to do!”
"Hayi!"
A group of officers stood up collectively, bowed, and left immediately.
In the heavy rain, the Japanese soldiers who had fought all night last night were resting. The two captains looked at the tired soldiers and the heavy rain outside, and frowned: "Are you going to wake them up now?"
Ueno shook his head: "Let the soldiers rest for a while first, and let the people of the baggage regiment take advantage of the heavy rain to build a position in front, so that we can get as close as possible to the Chinese army and reduce the casualties caused on the charge!
"Hai!"
The baggage regiment, which quickly received the order to cooperate with the attacking troops, began to get busy. However, it was raining heavily now, and it was basically impossible to dig the land and carry out civil work. The soldiers of the baggage regiment thought for a while and then came up with a way.
.
"Now the visible distance in the rain is only a few dozen meters. We can build a solid offensive front position about a hundred meters away. In this case, we are only more than a hundred meters away. In this case, we can attack at any time!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately took out a pen and paper and began to calculate quickly: "We use sandbags to build an offensive forward position about three meters high here. It can be built with wooden boards and other things. The obstacles come from the Sihang Warehouse.
The shooting line above, leaving a tank channel in the middle, and then like this..."
"How long will it take to build this!"
"The technical content is not high, as long as there are enough sandbags, it can be built quickly!"
"I will report it immediately and let the people in the regiment help!"
"good!"
Soon Ito Masaki received the following report, but Ito Masaki really wanted to tear this report up casually and attack a building with only a few hundred people in charge. He actually had to mobilize a division of people to do the work. The news was
A shame.
But when he thought that he had made such a big sacrifice yesterday and failed to capture the Sihang Warehouse, Ito Masaki would be able to accept it as long as he could capture the Sihang Warehouse.
What Ito Masaki had in front of him was the structural diagram of the Sihang Warehouse. Now Ito Masaki really wanted to find out the people who built this warehouse, put a gun to their heads and ask them what they were thinking.
Such a fortress will be built.
Soon after Ito Masaki agreed, the entire regiment became busy except for the artillery. Even the cavalry patted their horses out and carried sandbags on their backs to transport them forward.
The Japanese moved very quickly. At this time, Shanghai was not the Shanghai that used to have cement roads everywhere. Except for some roads, most of them were mud. Just shovel it down and put it into a bag, and it would be a sandbag.
Moreover, it is raining heavily now and the ground is muddy. Although it makes transportation a little difficult, it also makes digging very easy. The efficiency of more than 10,000 people is still very high. The sandbags prepared here are immediately transported to the front.
Some Japanese soldiers also began to serve as a demolition brigade, removing all door panels and windows from the buildings around the Sihang Warehouse, as long as they were related to wood, and then quickly transported these items to the front line.
The Japanese built the position very quickly. They just used three rows of sandbags to build a simple bunker, and then used some things to fix it. There was a gap of about one meter in the middle. Then they built another row in the middle and extended it back, so that they could form
Create a forward position to attack Sihang Warehouse.
In the Sihang Warehouse, Yu Zhiqian and others could not see the busy scene of the Japanese in the distance due to the rain. Yu Zhiqian looked at the time and found that two hours had passed. There was no movement from the Japanese so far.
Yu Zhiqian felt very strange.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Xie Jinyuan saw that Yu Zhiqian seemed worried, so he came over and asked in a low voice. Yu Zhiqian stood at the window and looked out at the pouring rain: "The Japanese haven't attacked for two hours. I feel something is wrong. I don't know that the Japanese are here again."
What conspiracy is brewing!"
"I also find it strange that a normal commander would never miss such a good opportunity. We have been fighting all night, and now we are exhausted. They will definitely continue to attack, put pressure on us, and not give us any chance to rest!"
"Moreover, the Japanese don't only have a few hundred, but a few thousand. They only need a regiment to drag us, and we can't stand the continuous attack, not to mention that there is a division opposite us!"
The identity of the person opposite Yu Zhiqian and others had already investigated clearly last night and asked the prisoners. The person opposite was the Japanese 101st Division. A division commander would not make such a low-level mistake!
"Is there some conspiracy?" Yu Zhiqian felt a little uneasy. The rain came at such a bad time that he couldn't see what was going on. He and his advanced equipment were useless.
"Send someone out to take a look?"
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Let my people go, they are all professionals!"
"good!"
Xie Jinyuan did not argue. He saw clearly the ability of Yu Zhiqian's men yesterday. He had never seen such powerful soldiers. He secretly calculated that the Japanese killed by Yu Zhiqian and others were at least better than those of their company. There is more, even much more.
"Yan Qi, Mao Sanbai, you two get ready and go outside to see what the Japanese are doing. Pay attention to safety and don't get discovered!"
"receive!"
After receiving Yu Zhiqian's order, Yan Qi and Mao Sanbai quickly stood up, put on their equipment, and quickly left the Sihang Warehouse and disappeared into the rain.
"Old Yan, it's been so fun killing Japanese in the past two days!" After walking out, the two of them stayed close to each other and slowly moved forward, leaving the warehouse. The surrounding area became a little unsafe and they needed to be alert, but it was raining heavily. It is also their protective clothing. Even if there are Japanese people around, they cannot hear their footsteps. Now the competition is about whose eyes are better.
"We're on a mission. Pay attention. We use modern weapons. Of course it's fun to kill the Japs. If you try using the Zhongformal and 38-meter guns to beat the Japs, the Japs' marksmanship is not bad!" After saying that, he was still a little nervous. He raised his left arm and almost got shot in this place.
"I'll just tell you!" After Mao Sanbai finished speaking, he gently kicked the Japanese corpse on the ground.
One good thing about the heavy rain is that it cleans the land around Sihang Warehouse. Too many people died before, so there was blood everywhere. Walking around meant stepping on blood and moving forward. The smell of blood was everywhere. Now after a burst of heavy rain, the blood stains on the ground have disappeared. There are still many soldiers on the first floor who are collecting water to wash the ground on the first floor. Otherwise, walking on the sticky blood may cause slipping.
"Well, there's someone in front!"
After the two people pushed forward for dozens of meters, they vaguely saw traces of someone in the distance. Yan Qi immediately lay down on the ground, with Mao Sanbai following behind. The two people lay motionless on the ground and saw the rain curtain in front of them. , several figures can be vaguely seen, patrolling.
"has a problem!"
This was the first thought of Yan Qi and Mao Sanbai. After the two glanced at each other, they began to crawl forward slowly, wanting to see what was going on around them.
The two people moved very slowly and lightly. They moved forward slowly and little by little. The distance got closer and closer, and the things they could see became clearer and clearer. The figures they saw before were indeed several. The patrolling Japanese soldiers, wearing raincoats and holding weapons, were slowly moving forward.
"The Japanese seem to be repairing something in front!" Mao Sanbai said in a low voice. Yan Qi nodded. He could see a black shadow and looked around: "You go to the left and I will go to the right. I'll find something useful."
Take this photo with your phone!”
"good!"
The two people slowly separated. Yan Qi lay on the ground and observed the traces of the patrolling Japanese soldiers. He grabbed a gap and got into one of the ruins. As soon as he entered, he saw two Japanese soldiers.
They were sitting together, holding dry food in their hands as if they were preparing to eat. These two people should be secretly sentry.
The Japanese soldiers did not expect that the Chinese soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse would dare to come out. They did not take it too seriously. When they heard the noise and saw Yan Qi, Yan Qi had already reacted and pointed a pistol with a message device in his hand at the two people.
's head.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Two low gunshots rang out, and two Japanese soldiers had two holes punched in their heads and fell to the ground.
