This is followed by an introduction to the information about the Battle of Songhu.
After the Battle of Songhu, the Guo army was completely defeated and retreated all the way. The entire Shanghai fell. Only the concession area and the Japs maintained a tacit understanding, becoming the last safe place in Shanghai.
A group of soldiers marched down the muddy street.
"The newly admitted skirmishers, gather into formation and keep up the pace!"
Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Hubei, and Lao Hulu were all among the gathered skirmishers. They didn't know where they were going.
There was a huge defeat, just as the deserter said earlier, the division commander was dead, the regiment commander could not be found, and they had no one to care for them.
Captain Xie of the 88th Division was ordered to go to Zhabei to hold on to this final position, but the troops at hand were very limited, so he gathered the scattered troops and strengthened the strength that was better than nothing.
Commander Xie is discussing with Battalion Commander Yang where to defend.
Captain Xie pointed to the Sihang Warehouse on the map and said: "The Sihang Warehouse is a reinforced concrete building, which is relatively strong, and its east and south are public concessions, and the southeast corner is a large gas storage tank of the British Gas Company.
In the small days, it is inevitable to use a weapon to defeat rats. Heavy artillery and aircraft cannot be used, and it is easy to defend."
The lens changes and four rows of warehouses appear in the lens.
"Lei Xiong of the 1st Battalion Machine Gun Company, come and report!"
"Open the door!"
The army marched into Sihang Warehouse.
In the Sihang Warehouse, a voice shouted loudly: "Brothers, it is now the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, October 26th, at 10:07 pm, all the troops in Shanghai who can stay here are here
.”
"Brothers, now that you are here, you must be determined to die. No one should take chances or have any illusions of living in an ignoble way. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
But Duan Wu and Xiao Hu Bei looked at each other in confusion.
At this time, another voice shouted: "The group is here, stand at attention!"
"Report to the regimental deputy, the machine gun company commander Lei Xiong has come to report! Seven people were injured, and sixteen deserters from various units were collected along the way!"
"Get in position!"
"yes!"
Captain Xie stood on the second floor, looking at the various miscellaneous soldiers, deserters, and original troops below, and said: "Brothers, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops outside. Once there is a firefight, there is no chance for us to survive.
It is estimated that we are lucky to be able to defend for half a day, and all the people in Shanghai will be looking at us tomorrow, so this is our last position, our tomb, to do things!"
"Keep building defenses!"
Following the order, the soldiers below began to move.
At this time, another voice shouted: "You guys, stand up without dying, line up, and report your unit numbers."
But the old soldier Youzi Laotie lay there disdainfully, covered his head with a hat, and said: "What kind of retribution are you asking me to support you? You are a coward!"
"What did you say? Stand up!" Zhu Shengzhong said angrily.
Lao Tie suddenly stood up with a cigarette in his mouth: "I can't hold it in any longer, what's going on?"
Then he slumped down again.
Angry, Zhu Shengzhong pulled out his pistol and loaded it.
At this time, another veteran oily goat monster said something sarcastic: "Either shoot him or let him go!"
But this completely angered Lao Zhu. He took his gun and shot Yangguai, but Yangguai dodged him and grabbed him.
A conflict broke out between the two sides, and the soldiers below pointed their guns at the sheep.
"Squad 7, drag out these stupid deserters and kill them!"
At this time, Shangguan Zhibiao jumped down the rope from upstairs and shouted: "Lao Zhu, pull these deserters out to repair the fortifications!"
Duanwu grabbed him and said, "Sir, we are not deserters! We were scattered!"
"We were sent by the Huangpi County Party Headquarters to protect Shang Hai."
Someone upstairs shouted: "That kid, come up, this is an order!"
Xiao Hu Bei left in confusion.
Shangguan Zhibiao reached out and grabbed Duanwu's neck and said: "Protect yourself first!"
Then push him out.
Outside the Sihang Warehouse, fortifications are being built and mines are being laid.
Lao Hulu and his uncle and nephew Duanwu were carrying sandbags. Lao Hulu was muttering: "When it's all over, kill us all!"
Suddenly a shrill cry sounded: "Attention, there is a situation, be alert!"
Everyone jumped behind the fortifications in panic, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
It's not the enemy that's coming, it's the refugees who are fleeing!
When Lao Hulu saw the refugees fleeing, he jumped out of the fortification and asked Duan Wu to call Xiao Hu Bei and follow him.
Lao Hulu blended into the refugees, picked up a child and pretended to be a refugee.
All the refugees came outside the concession and lined up to enter the concession.
Lao Hulu finally squeezed outside, but was told: "Soldiers are not allowed in here!"
Lao Hulu took out a ticket and said: "I am a farmer!"
"You are a soldier when you wear a military uniform! Soldiers are not allowed to enter the concession!"
The other party used English to ask the foreign soldiers guarding the door not to let Lao Hulu in.
Lao Hulu was unwilling to give in. He looked around and found a relatively low wall on the foreigners' passage, so he turned over and went in.
But he was stopped. The young gangster was peeling an apple with a fruit knife and said at the same time: "Old man, no soldiers are allowed in!"
Lao Hulu lay on the sandbag and begged: "We are all Chinese, just let me in."
"This is the concession, and this is the only bridge in Shanghai that can lead to here. When a soldier comes in, the small days will come, and when the small days come, it will be over!"
Lao Hulu can sneak in just by shaking his head, so how can he listen to the little gangster?
He immediately climbed up the low wall of sandbags.
As a result, the knife that was peeling the apple absentmindedly turned into a fierce look the next moment, and the fruit knife was pointed at the old gourd.
"Get out of here!"
The camera pans back to Sihang Warehouse.
A door was opened, facing the opposite concession and Shili Foreign Market across the river.
Lao Abacus suddenly looked at the brightly lit and neon-lit opposite bank, and stood up. Lao Tie and other soldiers also smiled in surprise, and then they all ran over and looked at the feasting and feasting on the other side of the river bank.
The melodious sound from the other side can even be heard here.
Just across the river, there is a world of difference.
On the roof of Sihang Warehouse, Xiao Hu Bei was brought to Commander Xie.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"They all call me Xiao Hu Bei. I am thirteen this year. My surname is Zhu. My great-grandpa told me that we are the eighteenth generation descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"Then do you know how the Ming Dynasty fell?"
Xiao Hu Bei looked confused.
Captain Xie said to Xiao Qiyue: "Take care of him more!"
"Xiao Hu Bei, when I die, you take my place!"
At this time, the melancholy sound came again.
Xiao Hu Bei looked at the neon lights of Shili Foreign Market in the rain and couldn't help but said: "It's so beautiful over there!"
"That's the concession over there!" Xiao Qiyue said.
The camera zooms up to show Captain Xie standing on the sentry platform at the top of the Sihang Warehouse, looking across.
"Over there is heaven, over here is hell!"
Separated by a river, it seems like the difference between heaven and hell.
On one side, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the fire is soaring into the sky; on the other side, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, and the lights are bright and feasting.
This scene made the moviegoers couldn't help but widen their eyes.
It was as if he wanted to remember this scene to his core.
This is also the special feature of the defense battle of Sihang Warehouse.
