Yu Zhiqian has already encountered at least seven or eight Japanese patrol teams. Each team is in a hurry. After a simple exchange with each other, they will immediately continue patrolling to find the target.
From time to time there were trucks and cars driving around. The whole process was not very slow. Three hundred thousand Japanese soldiers scattered into the city of Shanghai, just like a drop in the ocean.
Chen Yun was wandering the streets alone. He was very bold. He had encountered a lieutenant colonel patrolling with two soldiers before. After killing all three of them, he changed into a lieutenant colonel's military uniform and trotted forward on the street.
"Sir!"
A group of Japanese soldiers stopped immediately after seeing Chen Yun. Chen Yun just shook his head slightly: "Did you notice anything unusual?"
"No!"
"Continue to check, don't miss any abnormal corner!"
"Hayi!"
A group of soldiers nodded, the team leader waved, and the patrol team continued to move forward.
At the outer position of Sihang Warehouse, Ito Masaki held the document in his hand, his hands trembling, and finally slowly put it down, took a deep breath, and handed the document to the assistant beside him: "Your Excellency, Commander, something happened!"
"Has something happened to your Excellency, Commander?"
After the assistant heard this, he immediately looked at the results document with a shocked look on his face: "Nani? Who did this!"
The news that Matsui Iwane was killed in the bombing only reached Ito Masaki at this time. Ito Masaki and his men all looked at each other in confusion. The death of the commander is a huge disaster for any army. blow.
If the Japanese Army Headquarters now pursues accountability, Ito Masaki and others are responsible. However, after Ito Masaki was shocked for a while, he banged his hand on the table and began to have his own plans in his mind.
"Now start attacking the Sihang Warehouse. Send out the cavalry brigade to search for those who attacked the Commander. Everyone must capture the Sihang Warehouse tonight!" After Ito Masaki finished speaking, he stood up suddenly and left the conference room. , returned to his room and started to get busy.
In the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan has been busy, reinforcing the defense of the warehouse, and constantly reminding the soldiers: "Everyone must be alert. The Japanese will attack later and use gas bombs. Don't panic, follow the orders and put on your weapons." If you put on a gas mask, nothing will happen! Do you hear me?"
"yes!"
"That's good, brothers, we have killed a lot of Japanese soldiers, but it's not enough. There are 300,000 Japanese soldiers. If we kill a few more Japanese soldiers, our comrades behind us will have to face fewer Japanese soldiers. We have 400 million people, how many Japs are there? We have already made a lot of money, but we want to make more!"
"Hahaha……"
A group of soldiers immediately laughed. Xie Jinyuan looked at the soldiers. Their morale was high and ready to be used. He led his assistant to the top of the building and looked into the distance: "Do you think something will happen to Commander Yu and the others?"
Xie Jinyuan observed the situation in the distance with a telescope. The night vision device could clearly see the other side of the river. From time to time, groups of Japanese soldiers ran past, which was very different from usual times.
"I should be able to come back, but I don't know if I can succeed!"
Xie Jinyuan did not dare to say that Yu Zhiqian and others could kill Iwane Matsui. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of Japan's Shanghai Expeditionary Force. It felt unreal that he could be assassinated so easily.
"Sir, is what Chief Yu said true? Will our country really be the same as what we saw in the future?"
After the staff officer finished speaking, the top floor fell into silence. Xie Jinyuan suddenly laughed: "Of course, China has thousands of years of history. How many disasters have we gone through? This time is just one of the embarrassments our nation has experienced. We will overcome and recover soon!"
"Well! If it's really like the scene in Chief Yu's machine, it doesn't matter if our generation sacrifices. As long as future generations can live a happy and healthy life, that's enough!"
"Yes, that's enough!"
"Yes, hahaha, we must create a soil where our children and grandchildren can grow, and we will not give up even if we die!"
"I will never give up even if I die!"
"Sir, the Japanese are moving!"
Yu Zhiqian left two telescopes, one his own and one Yan Qi's. A lieutenant was responsible for keeping and observing the Japanese positions in the distance.
"come yet?"
"Well, here we come. These Japanese are all wearing gas masks. Commander Yu and the others were really right. The Japanese are preparing to use gas warfare against us!"
Xie Jinyuan looked grim. This Japanese attack was more difficult to deal with than any previous attack because neither he nor his soldiers had experience in dealing with poison gas warfare.
"Notify everyone to put on gas masks and gloves immediately and prepare to fight. The devils are coming. The gas bombs are coming. Don't be afraid. The gas bombs can't hurt us. Listen to my gunfire before shooting!"
"yes!"
Xie Jinyuan's order was quickly passed on to every soldier through layer after layer. The soldiers who had already prepared took out their gas masks and began to put them on, and at the same time put on the gloves they had sewn before. good.
"Everyone helps each other put on gas masks and don't expose any part of your body. Don't panic after the gas bomb rises. Wait for Commander Xie's order before you shoot again!"
"I repeat, the Japs' gas bombs are coming. Don't be afraid. We have gas masks. Don't worry about the Japs' gas bombs. Wait for Commander Xie's order before shooting!"
The company platoon leader repeated these words over and over again, passing on the message and asking everyone to be prepared and not to panic.
At first, all the soldiers were a little nervous as they listened to the repeated words. As time went by, the soldiers' nervousness began to become more and more relaxed. Finally, most of the soldiers were no longer nervous and began to wait for the Japanese soldiers to die.
Two to three hundred meters outside the Sihang Warehouse, the Japanese soldiers stopped advancing and mortars were deployed one after another. The artillerymen put aside the poison gas shells they were carrying and opened the shell boxes, waiting for the next order.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, in the artillery position one kilometer away, the Japanese artillery is preparing for a test firing. The first round was ordinary artillery shells. After the test firing, another
Use gas bombs instead.
"put!"
Following the order, the five mountain cannons were the first to fire. The shells of the five mountain cannons accurately hit the four-line warehouse. The artillerymen quickly opened the barrels, pulled out the shells, and then opened the door to take the special ammunition.
came out and stuffed into the barrel of the gun.
"The devils didn't use special ammunition?"
After the first round of shelling, the shells made a huge explosion. The entire Sihang Warehouse was shaking, and dust continued to fall from the top floor. Xie Jinyuan patted his hat, looked into the distance and shook his head: "Not necessarily.
The Japanese might be setting up some sort of dragon gate array!"
"Well! Just wait and see!"
The second round of shelling was fast, but this time compared to the last time, there was no huge explosion, only a muffled sound. After the shell exploded, a white smoke slowly rose up.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese soldiers' mortar positions also opened fire, and mortar shells landed on the Sihang Warehouse one after another. Like the shells, they did not make a huge explosion, but various gases slowly rose.
"Gas bombs!"
The observer soldier yelled, reminding the people around him that after the first round of shelling, the Japanese did not immediately launch a second round of shelling. In the third and fourth rounds, shells hit the surroundings of the Sixing Warehouse one after another.
These shells all have something in common, that is, after the shells hit the ground, there was no explosion sound, and some only had bursts of muffled sound and rising gas.
Now around the entire Sihang Warehouse, it was as if a group of people had lit a beacon fire. Looking down from a high place, waves of white mist floated up, and finally slowly enveloped the entire Sihang Warehouse.
"The Japs have fired so many poison gas bombs. Aren't they afraid that a gust of wind will come and affect all the Japs outside?"
"They are all prepared. When these Japs attack, they all wear gas masks. These Japs are very smart!"
Xie Jinyuan shook his head: "I'm not talking about these devils, but the other side of the river. Look at how many Japanese soldiers are patrolling on the other side of the river. Something big must have happened!"
"Perhaps, Chief Yu and the others succeeded?" The staff officer was wearing a gas mask, and his voice was a bit unclear. Xie Jinyuan looked at the distance and nodded: "Maybe, I also hope to kill Matsui Iwane!"
After several rounds of shelling, the poison gas began to spread, and the Japanese also began to attack the Sihang Warehouse.
The Japanese, wearing khaki military uniforms, gloves, carrying a 38 cap, and gas masks, walked slowly and step by step towards the Sihang Warehouse in uniform steps.
The hazy smoke, the uniform steps, and the neat queues wearing gas masks, everything looks like the devil's army from the movie.
When the Japanese soldiers entered the Sihang Warehouse, which was still more than 100 meters away, the Japanese soldiers began to quicken their pace and faced the Sihang Warehouse nervously.
This distance was a nightmare for the Japanese who attacked Sihang Warehouse. Many of these Japanese had participated in the previous attack, and the events of the past two days were still vivid in their minds.
Comrades who died tragically, countless corpses, bullets and shells that could not be avoided, and the faces of the defenders who fought desperately.
So after reaching this distance, the Japanese soldiers began to quicken their pace, or looked for some bunkers at the locations they remembered, preparing to avoid artillery shells that might come from the defenders of Sihang Warehouse.
"Continue the attack!"
"go ahead!"
"go ahead!"
The Japanese officer drew his saber and walked at the front, constantly cheering up his comrades around him. Some soldiers were still a little uneasy.
Soldiers are also human beings. They will feel scared after fighting for so long without being defeated, but this time they are more courageous because of the cover of special ammunition.
"All the Chinese defenders in the building are dead. All we need to do is rush in and kill all the Chinese defenders who are not dead yet!"
"We are the invincible Imperial Army of Japan. We will only die on the way to charge. Any coward will be punished!"
The Japanese officers kept talking loudly, reminding the Japanese soldiers around them to cheer up. The effect was pretty good. At least the Japanese soldiers were very determined every step they took forward.
"The Japanese army is still eighty meters away!"
Observers kept reporting the distance of the Japanese. I don’t know what kind of poison gas bombs the Japanese used, but so far, the defenders wearing gas masks have not felt any discomfort.
At a distance of eighty meters, the entire Sihang Warehouse was very quiet, with no gunshots or human sounds. It was like an abandoned warehouse as the Japanese soldiers moved forward step by step.
"Yamazaki-kun, it's a bit eerily quiet here. There were so many people in the morning, but now there's no sound at all!"
The Japanese soldier named Yamazaki looked at his fellow countrymen beside him: "We used special ammunition this time. Maybe the Chinese defenders were not prepared and all of them were wiped out by the special ammunition!"
"Is our special ammunition so effective?"
"Probably, otherwise, wherever the Chinese defenders are, they will enter the warehouse soon!"
"Then us!"
"We'll be fine! We have gas masks!"
Observation post at Sihang Warehouse: "The Japanese are still fifty meters away!"
When he heard this distance, Xie Jinyuan suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the 38 cover next to him, walked to the window, and aimed at a man walking in the front, holding a command knife, and yelling
Japanese military officer.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two crisp gunshots rang through the night sky. In this environment, it was particularly clear. The Japanese officer who rushed to the front fell to the ground. At the same time, a flare rose in the sky, illuminating everything around him.
Just like daytime.
The two gunshots were like activating the entire Sihang Warehouse. The entire warehouse suddenly came to life. Countless windows suddenly revealed rifles, aiming at the Japanese soldiers right in front of them. The flares rose.
Once in the air, these Japanese soldiers had nowhere to hide, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"..."
A series of gunshots sounded continuously and very intensively. The Japanese soldiers rushing in front fell one after another. These Japanese soldiers had no defense at all and were caught off guard. They fell to the ground one after another.
"Grenade ready!"
The second battalion commander yelled from his position on the fourth floor, and all the soldiers on the fourth floor immediately took out a grenade, pulled out the safety, and threw it downstairs.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After a series of explosions, dozens of attacking Japanese soldiers were killed, but so far, the Japanese soldiers have achieved zero results.
These Japanese soldiers wore gas masks, which hindered their vision. It was also dark, and their superb marksmanship could not be fully utilized at this time.
