Chapter 24

Jiangwan 1.

Inside the Japanese Marine Corps Operations Command Room, the lights were on but the atmosphere was quite gloomy, repeated failures had made Major General Oikawa completely lose his patience.

He decided to throw everything away and attack the Four Row Warehouse.

Pressing all five hundred men of the 10th Special Warfare Brigade that had been drawn in, he also brought in four battle tanks as well as a special artillery unit to launch a fierce attack on the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment stationed at the Four Row Warehouse from the east, north, and west.

They also removed the protective steel plates from the chariots and used them as shields, which the soldiers hid behind and pushed forward.

It was difficult for bullets to penetrate these steel plates, and the 1st Battalion didn’t have much heavy weaponry, only mortars and barrels, and the heavy machine guns could only defend some key positions.

Once a heavy fire point was discovered, the Japanese called in the air force for dive bombing and strafing.

Japanese planes whistled over the top of the four rows of warehouses, they did not dare to drop bombs, because not far from the four rows of warehouses are two huge gas tanks, which if the fire exploded, then the public rented area will be miserable.

Looking at their cautious appearance, such an attack can have much combat effect, it is just a waste of ammunition.

The Bureau of Public Works strictly warned the Japanese troops not to injure any buildings or people in the Concession, especially the gas canisters, or else the Japanese would be fully responsible for the disaster and consequences.

Attacking to no avail, the Japanese began to get cranky and attacked using assault death squads.

The battle on the ground, instantly entered a stalemate phase, the Japanese troops on the attacking side, suffered great losses, and then began to raise the white flag to collect the corpses again.

Anyway, there was the first time, the second time does not matter.

You can be sure that there will be a third time behind.

The other side of the Suzhou River, crowded with people watching the battle, the riverbank, the road, the streets and alleys, a sea of people, and even on the balcony, the north-facing windows, are crowded, the riverbank trees, can also be lying on the people, just like the autumn buds, wherever you can stand on the ground are standing full of people, with the four rows of warehouses as the center point, from the old gates bridge to the new gates bridge, several kilometers of the riverbank, a glance at the river, that all are A glance at the riverbank, it was all black and heavy with people, watertight.

In addition to the Chinese, there are foreigners, see the lively this is the nature of mankind, regardless of race.

As the warehouse is not short of any material, Cheng Mo also took the opportunity to spend their own money to buy some, so the manufacture of incendiary bottles is not difficult, although the Japanese army used steel plates to advance to the four rows of warehouses under.

But in the face of the incendiary bottles thrown from the firing ports, they did not have good protective measures, and the incendiary bottles had white sugar, stuck, burned, and could not be shaken off, and the attack of the ghosts was thus repulsed again and again.

The first battalion began to have casualties.

Attacked a morning of the ghosts, no half progress, infuriated, the afternoon attack actually used tear gas.

Attempting to use this method to force the people in the warehouse to come out.

But the first battalion has long been prepared, there is no gas mask, but there are damp cotton gauze, as long as the mouth and nose are covered, open the windows to ventilate, naturally not afraid.

It seems that the Japanese army also did not dare to use gas bombs openly for fear of arousing the condemnation of international public opinion.

Of course, even with gas bombs, they may not be able to shoot them inside the sturdy fortress of the Four Row Warehouse.

In one morning, the Japanese army organized four or five onslaughts, all of which made little progress, but instead left dozens of corpses behind again.

On the contrary, after two days of fierce battles in the Four Row Warehouse, the outer wall was already full of holes, and some places even exposed the steel bars inside.

But it is still standing, standing on the north bank of Suzhou Creek, so that all the people of Shanghai have seen the indomitable determination of the Chinese people to resist.

Seeing that the attack could not come for a long time, Major General Oikawa began to think of another way, he sent people shouting, asking to negotiate with the commander of the national army guarding the four rows of warehouses, threatening and intimidating the defenders to surrender, or else he would completely destroy the entire four rows of warehouses.

Xie Zhongmin naturally refused.

He vowed to live and die with the Four Row Warehouse!

All officers and men of the 1st Battalion had long ago written a suicide note that they would not retreat, let alone surrender, even if they had to fight a single soldier.

Major General Okawa once again ordered the attack!

And at this time, Cheng Mo took Kuizi and Dachun quietly slipped out of the four rows of warehouses, but no one noticed where they went.

The ghost marines, under the cover of their battle tanks, launched a fierce attack on the east gate of the Four Row Warehouse, artillery shells poured in, explosions after explosions came out, flames shot up to the sky, and the whole building shook violently.

And the shaky gate was always standing, as if it were an immortal giant, nailed to the ground in death.

Mocking the little devils across the street: if you’re capable, come over here!

Major General Oikawa personally selected an elite assault team, under the cover of battle tanks and artillery, ready to carry the bomb close enough to detonate.

This approach is not once, each time failed to succeed, that fell on the road of the ghost corpses have not yet been collected!

Suddenly, a Japanese Type 97 tanks from the street side of the ruins killed over, along the XZ Road, stormed towards the four rows of warehouses.

Ghost front commanders take a look at some confusion, where did this come out of their own chariot?

No matter how to come, since it is their own chariot, as a warrior of the Empire of Japan, is not still afraid of it, so, the commanding sword a finger, the Japanese army began to wail and charge up.

Driving the Japanese army ninety-seven type tank is Cheng Mo, he is trying to fish in troubled waters this day, disguised as a Japanese tank, to the opposite bank to watch the show of the British.

This morning, the British had just stopped two Japanese speedboats from the Huangpu River outside the Old Gate Bridge, denying them the opportunity to attack the Four Row Warehouse from the Suzhou River.

Both sides are tying up loose ends.

Cheng Mo chose this time in the afternoon to give the other side a blow with Japanese tanks, which would surely be perceived by the British as the Japanese taking revenge.

Only if they dog-eat-dog, stirring up the arrogance of the British Empire’s Central Gruppo Saxons, would they be able to fight for a ray of hope for the men of this battalion at the Four Row Warehouse under fire.

“Release!”

Qui Zi had already aimed well, and without hesitation, a pull, a burnt razor shell flew directly out of the barrel of the gun, and shot towards the British Marines’ position on the opposite bank of the New Garbage Bridge.

With this shot, everyone froze.

The ghosts behind Cheng Mo’s Type 97 tank, and the British troops stationed at the bridgehead who were still leisurely, laughing and watching the show.

Boom!

The British position was instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Again!

Quickly loading and firing again, Quizzi was not very skillful, but the basic movements were not done without mistakes.

Reload again, hit again!

Even while rushing towards the New Trash Bridge, he fired the shells, hitting the British troops on the other side off guard, crying out in fear.

This scene was a shock to all those watching the battle on the south bank of Suzhou Creek.

Japanese this is crazy? Actually started directly shelling the British army, this is to avenge the morning in the old gate bridge was intercepted?

Major General Oikawa is also bloodied in the head, feeling the sky spinning, what on earth is going on, how could our own tanks take the initiative to attack the British forces on the other side of the New Trash Bridge?

Although the British are now wrapped up in European affairs, have no time to look east, but after all, it is an old capitalist powerhouse, there are colonies all over the world, strength and influence is still there.

These nine countries are meeting in Brussels, and the attitude of the British is very critical, and the public leases are not the British family …….

He now wanted to rip the head off that Japanese soldier driving the tank to see what was in it.

This scene of dramatic changes, the four rows of warehouses in the first battalion also looked stupid, this ghost is not a problem with the eyes, or brain watt, this is a joke?

Only Wu Jianfeng and Lao Miao recognized the tank, the two looked at each other, really scared, Cheng Mo this three boys really dare to do ah.

If this becomes a major diplomatic incident, what will be the consequences?

This matter must not be said, must rot in the stomach.

How did the three of them get out of the tank in full view of everyone and not be discovered? Wu Jianfeng couldn’t help but pinch a sweat.

In fact, he is also worried for nothing, this Cheng Mo has long thought, in the British army reacted to, set up artillery return fire, immediately turn around and drive back.

That guy, the tanks turned around, scared the Japanese first backward, for fear of being affected by the fish.

This is a back and forth, considered a formal engagement.

Although neither side has declared war.

Cheng Mo driving tanks, rampage, as if out of control, to avoid the British army behind the shells, a careless, tanks directly dry into the roadside of a building.

This building coincidentally is in the public concession side, the building inside has long been no one, which is adjacent to the war zone, do not withdraw, waiting to be killed by stray bullets, bullets are not long eyes.

Tanks dry into the line of sight is blocked, whether it is the Japanese army, or British troops, as well as the four rows of warehouses in the national army can not see.

Not long after, heard “boom” sound, the building came from the sound of an explosion, half of the turret by the explosion generated by the air waves flew out!

This is ……

Dead no proof!

Major General Oikawa directly black, fainted, if you can catch the people in the tank, there is still a chance to explain.

And now, there is nothing.

Kneeling for favorites, follow reading!
