Chapter 25.

Who did this?

Countless pairs of eyes on the scene saw that it was the Japanese army that did it, the tank was a Type 97 light combat vehicle, and the turret was coated with the anointed flag.

The Japanese army desperately denied it, but then again the explanation is not clear.

At this time, if you want to explain that this Type 97 tank is not a Japanese Marine Corps, do you believe that the British will throw spit directly in their face? The worst thing is, the loss of the 97 type light tank and the attack on the four rows of warehouses is not a Japanese army unit, but also not affiliated with each other, the truth is even more difficult to investigate.

Four rows of warehouses in the Japanese and Chinese truce, the Japanese army retreated one kilometer.

Very strange.

The British side to the Japanese side to put forward a solemn protest, the Huangpu River British warships and Japanese ships also tense up, the public concession and the French Concession of the military and police also began to mobilize.

The smell of gunpowder immediately intensified.

Nanking received the third war zone report this situation, also was surprised, the Japanese actually ate the wrong medicine, with the British troops in the concession to fight.

Although just a dry fight, both sides finally maintained the necessary restraint, did not brew a larger conflict, but it is said that the British side was killed a what Lieutenant Colonel, or a family has a title to inherit the small nobility, this matter is not handled well.

This matter is not handled well. Maybe it will really become the Oriental “Sarajevo” incident.

Easterners and Westerners dry up, diplomacy, which is extremely favorable to China, especially the upcoming meeting of the Nine Nations Convention held in Brussels, Belgium.

Originally manipulated the meeting of the United States, Britain and the two countries have discussed privately, all damage to the relationship with Japan, not to mention the proposal.

Now that the Japanese shelling of the British and American public concessions in Shanghai has occurred, will they continue their policy of appeasement and isolationism?

Especially Britain, their marines are dead, and a lieutenant colonel officer.

The foreigners are very expensive, especially the British, the death of a person, naturally, can not be good, the British if the mouth to bear this, it will let the world see through the essence of his “strong outside”, what “Sunset Empire” glory will no longer exist.

Therefore, even for the sake of face, we have to be tough and show our attitude.

As for how much it can change, Cheng Mo has done an analysis, the general trend is certainly not change, the British will not be for China to directly confront Japan, as long as the Japanese promise their interests in the concession will not be damaged, this matter will soon be over.

After all, Asia is not their center of gravity.

As long as the British heart this breath is not smooth, this four rows of warehouses these more than four hundred people in the future may have the opportunity to get out of the trap.

Hey, in fact, he didn’t know what kind of consequences would result from doing so, anyway, if the Japanese knew about it, they would definitely not spare him.

If the British knew, they wouldn’t spare him either.

As for the Nanjing that does not know that he is about to run away from the national government know, will not pursue their own, that is not good to say …….

The probability is that he will be directly raised to quell the anger of the foreign lord.

Anyway, it is a starving cowardly, support the death of bold, do are done, a white horse, geese leave traces, their own is not white to come back to this time! Anyway, the three of them quietly and silently returned to the four rows of warehouses, a battalion of officers and soldiers are accustomed to his three often act alone.

And did not suspect that they went out to do what.

In addition to Wu Jianfeng and Lao Miao understand, but they are also a group, certainly can not say, others will not think they quietly go out to do such a big thing.

The attack of the ghosts stopped.

The four rows of warehouses in a rare calm, everyone rest rest, repair fortifications repair fortifications, anyway, as far as possible to prepare for a protracted war, in this four rows of warehouses with the Japanese to wear down.

Before the British and the Japanese come up with a result, it seems that the Japanese do not intend to attack the Four Row Warehouse.

Who knows what will happen if they continue to fight, if they really light up those two gas tanks, it will be a big fun.

The British were getting angry, and the more the Japanese threatened and intimidated them now, it just wouldn’t do any good.

But after they had quarreled and calmed down, they seemed to realize that it was no longer important to get to the bottom of the matter, and that the biggest trouble was the eight hundred National Army troops entrenched in the Four Row Warehouse.

As long as this army exists, the possibility of the next “accidental injury” will still exist.

Four rows of warehouses in the mysterious phone rang, that is a confidential phone, from the French Concession to call, this line knows very few people.

It is one of the few channels of communication between the First Battalion and Shangfeng.

This old Siemens telephone, has been dusty for a long time no one has used, when it rang, can be the command post everyone startled.

As the highest commander of the Four Row Warehouse, Lieutenant Colonel Xie Zhongmin answered the phone, which was from Vice Division Commander Feng of the 88th Division.

In addition to conveying the orders from the top, there was also a detailed understanding of the situation regarding the Japanese tanks shelling the British troops. Xie Zhongmin naturally answered truthfully that the whole thing was very strange, rather like a radical element in the Japanese army had done it.

This is not surprising, in order to achieve the goal of complete occupation of the harm, many Japanese generals are this radical advocate, take the initiative to stir up trouble, by the way, will also take down the Concession.

Only those who advocate this have very little power within Japan, not to mention the mainstream, but do not rule out that some people are really crazy.

The Japanese army has a tradition of “subjugation from below”.

Under the changing war and international situation, anything magical can happen.

The Japanese army suspended the attack, the people in the Concession to support the four rows of warehouses of enthusiasm is incredibly high, donations, donations, donations, and donations of food, wherever you think you can donate, that all brain donations.

After negotiation, the British army agreed to the people in the concession to transport a part of the materials through the new garbage bridge.

And the Japanese army could only stare in disbelief.

They did not dare to attack now because the delivery of supplies was escorted by the British Army and the Universal Merchants Association, and the 1st Battalion, which had been supplemented with supplies, had even more confidence in holding on to the Four Row Warehouse.

And, it also brought with it a national flag with a blue sky and white sun full of red.

Early the next morning, a solemn flag-raising ceremony was held on the terrace of the top floor of the Four Row Warehouse, attracting hundreds of thousands of people on the other side of the river.

Many of the people were even in tears.

In order for the flagpole not to fall, Xie Zhongmin had hundreds of bags of soybeans moved from the warehouse and piled up underneath, and water was poured on them; the soybeans absorbed the water and swelled up, and would swell the voids, and the flagpole, buried in the soybeans, would be sturdy and unshakeable.

“Sister, why are you here?” Cheng Mo saw his sister Cheng Hua, who had been away for over a month, among the people delivering the supplies.

He was also startled, how did she know that she was at the Four Row Warehouse.

“Sister wanting to know where you are is not an easy task.” Cheng Hua smiled flirtatiously, she had come with the volunteers today.

Of course, with her means, getting such an identity was too easy.

“I came, to take you away.” Cheng Hua didn’t talk nonsense and directly stated her purpose, which was to take Cheng Mo away.

“Sister, this battle isn’t over yet, I’m not leaving!” How could Cheng Mo not know that the Battle of Songhu was over, and this side of the Four Row Warehouse was estimated to be close.

But he was trying to stay and accompany Wu Jianfeng and the others on this last journey, he only needed to enter the Concession, he did have a way to leave.

“The British are already negotiating with the higher-ups, asking us to withdraw the national army in the Four Row Warehouse, and the higher-ups mean that they are ready to agree to it in exchange for Britain’s support for us as well as mediation in this war, even if it’s a temporary truce.” Cheng Hua said.

“Whimsical.”

“Xiao Mo, no nonsense, you must come with me today, otherwise, you won’t recognize me as your sister.” Cheng Hua said seriously.

Cheng Mo knew that this sister of his had such a nature, if he really didn’t go today, he was only afraid that Cheng Hua would really be ruthless and disown him.

And if he wanted to move around Shanghai, he really couldn’t do without Cheng Hua’s help.

Moreover, even if there is a battle next, it will not be too intense, now the Japanese are more jealous, in case of bad play, and Britain and the United States started a bigger conflict, the loss is not worth it.

For the sake of a four rows of warehouses, are caged beasts, so it is not worth it.

“Okay, I’ll go with you sister, but before I go, I have some words to explain to the brothers who fought with me.” Cheng Mo said.

“Good, don’t play any tricks on me.” Cheng Hua warned sternly.

“Don’t worry, sis.” Cheng Mo naturally agreed in one breath.

After saying goodbye to Wu Jianfeng and the four of them, Cheng Mo left the weapons he had fought with them, leaving only a pistol, which was still prepared for him by his sister Cheng Hua.

Then he put all his belongings, together with the captured Japanese miniature short-wave radio, mounted his Norton side tricycle, drove his sister Cheng Hua, and followed the team delivering the supplies to pass through the new garbage bridge and enter the public concession.

Cheng Hua’s connections were naturally unusual, and when the side tricycle passed through the British Army’s checkpoint, it only took a slight look at Cheng Mo’s work papers and directly let people through.

At this moment, Cheng Mo twisted his head to look at the four rows of warehouses on the other side of the river, giving birth to a trace of strong reluctance.

Kneeling for collection!
