Three days later, on the roof of Sihang Warehouse.
Now the roof of Sihang Warehouse is no longer the top floor, but the fifth floor. As for the places above the fifth floor, all the places above have been blown up by the crazy Japanese, leaving only a ruin.
However, the blue sky and white sun flag is still flying on the top of the Sihang Warehouse building. Although it is broken, it still stands on the top of the Sihang Warehouse building.
The Japanese have been attacking crazily for five days. For five days, there was still some rest time in the Japanese attack in the first two days, but now, the Japanese attack has reached a crazy point. After each wave of attacks is repelled, less than
Within an hour, the Japanese would launch a new attack.
As the sun sets, the current Sihang Warehouse has changed. Many Shanghainese people look across the Suzhou River and see that the entire Sihang Warehouse seems to be shorter. However, in the eyes of Shanghainese, the Sihang Warehouse is now very tall.
Like a giant, a spiritual giant in their hearts.
It was this giant who, in front of them, repelled enemy attacks again and again, tenaciously killing Japanese one after another, making it impossible for the Japanese to completely occupy Shanghai.
The headlines of European and American newspapers published the heroic deeds of the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse, which aroused great repercussions in these countries. Europeans and Americans of this era admire heroes.
After the fall of Shanghai, the defenders of Sihang Warehouse, with 800 people, blocked the attack of 300,000 Japanese for five days and five nights.
There were no reinforcements or artillery support. Facing the Japanese, whose equipment was several times better than our own and possessed of various superior equipment such as aircraft, artillery, and tanks, they resisted tenaciously and killed more than 10,000 people.
Everything conforms to the European and American definition of a hero. It can even be said that in the eyes of European and American people, this unit is the incarnation of a hero.
Several major domestic newspapers used the words "Shanghai Has Not Fallen Yet" as huge headlines to introduce this unit in detail.
Principal Jiang also sent a commendation order on the third day. Everyone in the 524th Regiment was promoted to one level. Xie Jinyuan was promoted to major general. Yu Zhiqian was also promoted to major general, but he has not retreated yet. Yu Zhiqian has not seen what the general looks like.
.
The reason why the Japanese launched a crazy attack had something to do with the death of Matsui Iwane, but the most important reason was that a very important person died at the celebration banquet, Asaka Miya Hatuhiko.
The name Asaka Miya Hatohiko once appeared in textbooks. He was one of the culprits of the massacre and a prince of Japan.
He is the grandson of Prince Fushimi Miyakuniya, the eighth son of Prince Kugamiya Asahiko, and the uncle of Emperor Showa Hirohito. He was given the palace title of Asaka Palace by Emperor Meiji.
Historically, King Asaka Palace Hatohiko married Prince Meiji Yunkouchi in 1910. He studied at the Japanese Army Officer School and the Japanese Army University, and went to France to study in 1922.
After returning to Japan, he successively served as commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, commander of the Guards Division, and military counselor. After the Japanese imperialists launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, he succeeded Iwane Matsui as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force. It was he who promulgated the
The order to "kill all captured personnel" resulted in a brutal massacre.
He was later promoted to Army General. Because he was a member of the Japanese royal family, he escaped trial after the war. He left the imperial family and changed his name to Asaka Hatohiko. He died of illness on April 12, 1981, at the age of 94.
According to the historical trajectory, this person should be Matsui Iwane, who came to replace Matsui Iwane in December this year, and became the new commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, but now he has come to Shanghai to handle affairs.
At this time, King Asaka Palace Kohihiko was invited by Matsui Iwane to attend the celebration banquet and appeared as the last important guest. This is why Matsui Iwane came on stage again. It was when he was preparing to introduce that he was attacked by Yu Zhiqian.
The death of Asaka Palace Hatohiko was even more unacceptable to the Japanese than the death of Matsui Iwane. The Japanese Army Minister accepted the Emperor's summons on the night that Matsui Iwane and Asaka Palace Hatuhiko died. After being severely criticized by the Emperor, he returned to the Army. headquarters.
The death of the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force made it necessary for the army headquarters to re-elect a commander. At this time, the army knew that there was still a place in Shanghai that had not been occupied, and issued an order. The general meaning was that if the division could Whoever captures the Sihang Warehouse will be the new commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.
The earthquake in Japan has not yet ended. The deaths of the commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force and the prince have been reported by well-informed reporters. At the same time, the deaths of the ambassador and some consuls yesterday were also reported.
A total of five countries' ambassadors and consuls died and more than ten countries' ambassadors and consuls were injured. Almost all the countries affected have sent diplomatic messages to Japan and need an explanation. The Japanese are now apologizing and saying basically every day Catch the murderer.
In Shanghai now, except for the increasing number of divisions and regiments approaching Sihang Warehouse, in the rest of the place, groups of Japanese soldiers can be seen everywhere.
These Japanese soldiers patrolled the streets everywhere, looking for any possible problem areas, and arrested any suspected people. It can be said that the Japanese have now fallen into a crazy state, arresting people everywhere, looking for people everywhere, this With the thought that it would be better to catch a thousand by mistake than to catch one by mistake, the whole of Shanghai fell into panic.
No matter how great the changes in the outside world are, they have nothing to do with the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse. After the Japanese Army Headquarters issued the order, the sound of gunfire and gunfire in the Sihang Warehouse never stopped.
On the third day, the Chongteng detachment, which was not part of the 101st Division, appeared out of nowhere and launched an attack on the Sihang Warehouse. However, the effect of their attack was even worse than that of the 101st Division.
The 101st Division, Yu Zhiqian and others had been fighting for two days and had come up with many solutions. However, after the Chongteng detachment came up, they followed the traditional way of attacking the Chinese army, a three-axe attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Their first round of attack was met with a head-on attack by the defenders of Sihang Warehouse. They were surrounded by fire from both sides, plus machine gun fire from the front. They lined up to be shot after entering the door.
The Chongteng detachment that attacked for the first time only touched the gate of the Sihang Warehouse and was defeated by the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse. One group after another fell down. The attacking force of more than a thousand people finally successfully retreated. There were less than two hundred people.
The Chongteng detachment learned from experience during the second attack and came up with a new method, which was to have the soldiers rush to the downstairs position of the Sihang Warehouse. When the number of soldiers was enough, they rushed into the Sihang Warehouse in a unified manner.
But this time, they made the wrong calculation again. The 101st Division's fear of being dominated by grenades once again made the Chongteng detachment taste it. In the second attack, the Chongteng detachment left five to six hundred corpses.
After the first wave of attacks, the Japanese attacks could be described as crazy, almost achieving a seamless attack.
The Japanese invaded the Sihang Warehouse four or five times in total, but were repulsed tenaciously each time. However, the number of casualties among the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse was far higher than the historical data.
"Have the casualty statistics been calculated?" Standing on the roof, Yu Zhiqian was smoking a cigarette. There were several wounds on his body. These wounds were left over these days. Everyone was injured. Xie Jinyuan also had an arm and leg injury. He was also injured.
These are all minor injuries. The fat man Mao Sanbai had his head shaved and was almost shot. The bullet grazed his brain and flew past. If Yu Zhiqian hadn't forcibly held down Mao Sanbai, maybe this person would be dead now. Maybe he really becomes a fat man.
Chen Yun was a little better, except that he had an extra wound on his arm, which was caused by a Japanese bayonet. It was left behind during a previous bayonet fight with the Japanese.
Dai Qiang was the luckiest, because as a sniper, he only suffered minor scratches and no other major problems.
Zhao Dehan was also lucky. He was shot in the shoulder blade, but it was blocked by the body armor. He was stabbed in the leg by a Japanese knife. After being bandaged, he walked with a limp.
Previously, Yan Qi had recovered from his injuries and was able to get out of bed. During the Japanese gas bomb attack, Yan Qi used the emergency first-aid kit brought by Yu Zhiqian. The materials used in it were better than the gauze used by other ordinary wounded soldiers. Although he was also infected by the gas bomb, Yan Qi did not touch the wound like other injuries, so there was no big problem.
Xie Jinyuan dropped a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and smoked, looking into the distance with a dull look, and nodded slowly: "The statistics are out!"
"How many?"
Xie Jinyuan blew out a smoke ring heavily: "One hundred and fifty-six people were sacrificed, thirty-seven were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured!"
After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Are there so many casualties?"
"Yes!"
More than a hundred people were sacrificed, much more than in history. Yu Zhiqian knew that these were all caused by himself, and patted Xie Jinyuan on the shoulder hard: "These are my problems. If it weren't for me, these brothers would also I won’t sacrifice!”
Xie Jinyuan shook his head: "Sir, I don't blame you. Me and all the brothers don't blame you. How many Japanese have you made us suffer? Without you, we would only kill more than 200 people. Look at the piles of people below. There are at least 10,000 corpses of Japs hanging there, 10,000, sir!"
"Stop calling me sir, you are now a major general too!"
Xie Jinyuan shook his head: "Sir, you are my commander. How many people died in total when the Japanese invaded Shanghai? Ten thousand people, maybe. In our group, the number of people killed exceeded one million. In the army, after the brothers die, they go underground to face other comrades and ancestors, and they can give a thumbs up and say a word, it’s worth it!”
Xie Jinyuan spoke very excitedly and kept gesticulating with his hands. Yu Zhiqian looked at him and knew what he was thinking. Xie Jinyuan threw the cigarette butt fiercely on the ground: "You stupid little devil, sir, do you know? Sacrifice?" The youngest is only seventeen years old, he is still a child!"
The seventeen-year-old child is called Gouzi. Yu Zhiqian's mind appears in the mind of Er Gouzi, whom he met in Changde. Both of them are called Gouzi. The name Gouzi can be seen everywhere in this land of China. It is a nickname. Good to feed.
But both dogs are heroes and deserve to be remembered.
Xie Jinyuan was in pain, and God didn't seem to want to see this hero cry. The sun slowly set towards the west, and eventually the sky was rendered into a golden red.
Looking out from the Sixings Warehouse, what I saw was not land or ruins, but corpses all over the place. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to count them. No one knew how many Japanese had fallen in front of this warehouse. Perhaps only the Japanese will know this through statistics after the war.
The bright red blood, dark red blood clots, and bursts of painful screams from time to time made everyone around here feel that this was not a human world, but a hell, the bloodiest eighteen levels of hell.
On the first floor of Sihang Warehouse, a large hole was blown by the Japanese using a large number of explosives. The place changed hands several times. Yu Zhiqian and Xie Jinyuan both led their men to engage in bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese there.
In the end, he used his own flesh and blood to block the Japanese from the door, making this Sihang Warehouse a nightmare that the Japanese can never erase.
In the past few days, people have been sneaking into the surroundings and taking pictures around the Sihang Warehouse. Bodies everywhere, scattered Japanese flags, and the blue sky and white sun flag flying on the roof form a sharp contrast, just like Japan this time. Just like invading China, it is destined to be a futile effort.
Every one of the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse can be said to be exhausted now. Even the ammunition has been used up long ago. But it doesn't matter. There are corpses all around. You only need to push the corpses away to find yourself from the Japanese. Ammunition and grenades are needed.
However, later on, the Japanese launched a desperate charge. Those who charged forward only carried a dozen rounds of ammunition, no grenades, no food, just bayonets. They fell on the way to the charge, leaving the defenders in the warehouse unable to get any. If you rush into the warehouse to replenish supplies, there won't be a few bullets left.
But even so, the warehouse is still in the hands of Yu Zhiqian and others, and has not been occupied by the Japanese.
The people watching the battle on the other side of the river could no longer cheer. They were silently praying for the defenders of Sihang Warehouse, hoping that the soldiers here could become heavenly soldiers and generals, and leave here on the clouds, and stop holding on.
Someone even held a long banner on the opposite side, urging Xie Jinyuan and Yu Zhiqian to retreat, saying that they had done a good job.
Yu Zhiqian is unwilling to retreat, Xie Jinyuan is unwilling to retreat, and all the soldiers are unwilling to do so. The only thought in the minds of all officers and soldiers now is how many Japanese soldiers can be used. In this case, the enemies the Chinese army will face on the battlefield in the future will be There will be one less person, the pressure will be reduced, and maybe we can win a big victory.
However, today is the end of the fifth day. Xie Jinyuan received three orders to retreat, and Yu Zhiqian's mission lasted more than half a day.
With no help, no ammunition, and no food, it's time to retreat. Lead the brothers from Sihang Warehouse to break through the encirclement!
