At night, all the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse were assembled. Even the injured soldiers were carried on stretchers and put aside.
Yu Zhiqian and Xie Jinyuan stood high on the first floor and glanced at the survivors. Wherever they looked, everyone was covered in injuries.
Small wounds, such as a cut by a bayonet or abrasions, etc., were not bandaged or even treated. They continued to fight with a gun, and even minor injuries could not leave the line of fire. This is clearly shown here.
The soldiers in front of me had a broken arm, a broken leg, some with thick bandages on their abdomens, etc. They looked like remnants of the army.
None of the military uniforms remained intact, and everyone had a thick layer of blood on their bodies. Some people's faces were basically indistinguishable, except for a pair of eyes, which were completely black.
But it was such an army that looked like a defeated army. It held firm here at Sihang Warehouse for five days, repelled more than 80 Japanese attacks, killed more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, and wounded countless others. However, it was just It cost more than a hundred casualties.
The eyes of these soldiers are very tired. Five days of fighting have made these steely men exhausted physically and mentally. But even so, the resolute eyes can be seen from their expressions. If the Japanese rush in now, they will be immediately beaten by them. Tear into pieces.
"Bros!"
Yu Zhiqian shouted, and all the soldiers immediately responded in unison: "Arrival!"
The sound was so powerful that even the Japanese who were hundreds of meters away from Sihang Warehouse could hear it clearly. It felt like the sound wave could break through the sky, and even people on the other side of the Suzhou River could hear this sentence uniformly.
"What happened in the warehouse?" The Japanese soldiers at the front looked up in surprise and looked in the direction of Sihang Warehouse. Even some Japanese officers took out their binoculars and looked at Sihang Warehouse, thinking that something happened there. What a big deal.
Everyone inside the warehouse had no idea that their uniform answers had attracted so much attention. Yu Zhiqian's eyes swept across everyone present.
"In the past five days, we have repelled the Japanese nearly a hundred times. They launched crazy attacks. The Japanese used plane bombs, tanks, artillery bombardments, and poison gas bombs. It can be said that they used all possible means to capture us."
At this point, Yu Zhiqian once again stared at everyone, scanning each of their tired and immature faces one by one: "But the Sihang Warehouse is still in our hands. We use the guns in our hands, and Their tenacious perseverance tells the Japanese that they are not invincible and that they want to occupy China, but they are not enough, far from enough!"
"Are I right?"
"Yeah!"
"Brothers, although I know you still want to kill the Japanese, but now, we have received the order to retreat. The Chairman has issued three orders for us to retreat. As a soldier, we need to obey orders, so tonight, We have to retreat from here!"
When hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, many soldiers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say. Yu Zhiqian coughed lightly: "We don't want to retreat, we want to fight for our lives and fight the Japanese to the death. I Understandable, I, Yu Zhiqian, also want to fight the Japanese until the end, keeping the bullet for myself at the last moment!"
"But now we are soldiers first. We must obey orders. We have completed the blocking mission excellently and can retreat. We are not retreating or retreating, but a transfer after winning the battle, so don't have any psychological burden!"
Many soldiers are unwilling to retreat. They have decided to live and die with Sihang Warehouse. Moreover, the previous army continued to retreat on the battlefield. With each retreat, a large area of land was lost. Many soldiers were I no longer want to retreat.
"We retreated just to better fight against the Japs. There were 300,000 Japs in Shanghai. No, there are only 2.78 million Japs now. You have killed the rest. There are also those in Peiping and the three northeastern provinces. So brothers, we are not lacking. The Japs kill, what we lack is people to kill the Japs, so everyone can understand!"
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, all the soldiers stopped whispering, but soon a regiment commander raised his hand: "Sir, where are we retreating to?"
"Don't worry. This time we retreat, I will take everyone to leave Shanghai and go west, to Nanjing, Wuhan, and Chongqing. After a good repair, we can kill the Japanese properly. What do you think?"
"good!"
The Japanese soldiers who initially pursued the Chinese army received attention when Yu Zhiqian sent five or six telegrams every day to inform Nanjing and other places.
First of all, the Chinese army was retreating in retreat without any discipline and was deeply afraid of being overtaken by the Japanese. A large group of Japanese soldiers could chase a division or even an army.
Now on the way to retreat, troops are constantly intercepting and blocking the pursuing Japanese troops, so that the pursuing troops do not dare to pursue excessively. At the same time, they must be prepared at any time. The Chinese troops that may appear will make it impossible for the pursuing Japanese troops to increase their speed. .
After the retreating Chinese army was continuously gathered and disrupted, it was reorganized into different armies and began to slowly overcome the shadow of the retreat. Some troops have begun to garrison along the Yangtze River.
Yu Zhiqian didn't know about this. Now Yu Zhiqian is more worried about Nanjing. He still sends several telegrams every day to remind Principal Jiang and others, hoping to change something. What he doesn't know is that because he , great changes have begun.
Yu Zhiqian's retreat plan in Sihang Warehouse was also very simple. It was similar to Xie Jinyuan's method before, which was to cross the Suzhou River and then use the cover of night to rush out of Shanghai. Of course, it was definitely impossible to do so openly.
The Japanese are not blind. If they go out so openly, the Japanese soldiers will definitely find out immediately that there is no warehouse as a position. The remaining people will be eaten by the Japanese in less than half an hour, including Yu Zhiqian.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The method Yu Zhiqian thought of was similar to the one he used to assassinate him, which was to change his clothes. Now the Japanese garrison in Shanghai is still out in full force to find the assassin, and the span is very large. Yu Zhiqian prepared a complete set of Japanese military uniforms for each person, and immediately changed into uniforms after crossing the river.
In addition, it was night time and people were trying to sneak out of Shanghai, so the feasibility was very high.
Before Yu Zhiqian had time to reveal his plan, a soldier who used a Japanese 38 cap as a crutch slowly raised his hand: "Sir!"
"What's wrong?"
The wounded soldier pointed at himself: "Sir, I can't leave like this!"
Yu Zhiqian looked at him. He had a broken leg and an injured hand. It was very difficult to walk. As for swimming, it was basically impossible.
Yu Zhiqian stared at him and laughed: "Don't worry, I will not give up any brother, I will take you home!"
A long time ago, when Yu Zhiqian watched My Team Leader, My Team, he only thought it was a very good TV series, but now Yu Zhiqian thought of a sentence from Long Wenwen, "Let's go, I will take you home!"
This sentence of going home is not just going home, it contains a lot of content, but also a promise. The promise of Long Wenwen in the TV series to the expeditionary force, and now the promise of Yu Zhiqian to the heroes who defend Sihang Warehouse.
After hearing what Yu Zhiqian said, the soldier slowly shook his head: "Sir, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that if you take me with you, everyone will not be able to move fast. There is no need to take me with you. I will stay." , fight against Little Japan, and you’ll still make money if you switch to another one!”
After hearing this, Yu Zhiqian shook his head: "No, you are all heroes. Don't worry, I have a way to take you back. Believe me, I can do it!"
After hearing what Yu Zhiqian said, the wounded soldier slowly lowered his raised hand, but at this time, another wounded soldier raised his hand: "Sir, there is no need to take us away, we can't leave. Taking us with you will only hurt our brothers!"
After finishing speaking, the soldier raised his arms, which were bandaged with wounds, and his hands were gone: "Sir, I know you want to disguise yourself as a Japanese searcher and leave the city overnight!"
"But I am from Shanghai. After crossing the river and running out of Shanghai, there are still twenty or thirty kilometers. Sir, we can't walk fast. Carrying us will only drag down the brothers. Then we will be sinners. I don't want to be a sinner. I I just want to replace another Japanese devil!"
"Yes! Sir, we know we can't leave, and taking us with us is a burden. Let us stay. We want to fight the Japanese, and we will give you cover!"
"Sir, don't hesitate. If you hesitate, all the brothers will not be able to leave. If you leave, we will cover you and leave some seeds for the 524th Regiment!"
"Yes, if we die, brothers will kill the Japanese for us!"
"..."
At this time, the third battalion commander also stood up. He was covered with wounds. He was shot in the chest, his leg was stabbed by a bayonet, and his arms were injured.
But even so, the third battalion commander was still fighting bloody battles on the front line. He slowly sat down after driving the Japanese out. If Yu Zhiqian hadn't discovered that he was injured, this tough guy might have bled dry. He won't even make a sound.
The third battalion commander stood up with the help of the soldiers beside him, coughed twice, looked at Yu Zhiqian, and then at the dozens of wounded soldiers, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
