Just as Yoshizumi Ryosuke was waving his arms and yelling loudly at Shadow Sasaki, a communications staff officer suddenly hurried in from outside the door and immediately reported: "Division Commander, the 7th Infantry Regiment has an urgent call!"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke was in a bad mood. He waved his arms and shouted angrily: "Nian!"
"Hai!" the communications staff paused again, then opened the folder and unfolded the telegram and read, "Division and Regiment Headquarters, I am alerting the troops at Sihang Warehouse to report that five minutes ago, a large number of Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared in Sihang Warehouse. They are large in number, with at least two regiments of more than 3,000 men. Today, the Chinese soldiers of these two regiments have been divided into two groups, one heading east along the North Suzhou River Road, and the other heading north along the Tibet Road. It is estimated that We are going to attack the division headquarters."
"Nani?!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke instantly turned to stone upon hearing this.
What's happening here? It was surprising enough that more than 6,000 Chinese soldiers had just emerged from an abandoned warehouse in the Central District of the Concession. But before the matter was over, more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared from the Sihang Warehouse? Amaterasu, are you going to let people live? Are you going to fight an unpleasant battle
Yingzuo Zhenshow and several staff officers in the war room were also dumbfounded.
"This is impossible!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao yelled even more uncontrollably, "Since the fall of Sihang Warehouse, it has always been under the surveillance of the imperial army, not to mention the large-scale personnel of more than 3,000 people. There are no mobilizations, not even the mobilization of hundreds of personnel. Could it be that these three thousand Chinese soldiers emerged from the ground?"
"Come out of the ground?" Yoshizumi Ryosuke said, causing Lingling to shiver, "Did they dig a tunnel?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao shook his head categorically and said, "Not to mention that the geological conditions in Shanghai are not suitable for digging tunnels. Even if there are suitable geological conditions, it is absolutely impossible for the patrol battalion to be able to dig tunnels in a short period of time. In less than twenty-four hours, a tunnel was dug through the central area of the concession and the Sixing Warehouse."
Indeed, the patrol battalion controlled the Sihang Warehouse for less than a day and night. How could it be possible to dig a tunnel
"Then where did these more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers come from?" Yoshizumi Ryosuke could no longer control his emotions. He rushed in front of Kage Sasaki and sprayed directly in Kage Sa's face. "Ying Zuojun, tell me, where did these more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers who suddenly appeared from the Sixing Warehouse come from?"
"This, that..." Yingzuo Zhenzhao was speechless.
"Division Commander, Division Commander!" The communications staff officer who had just come in to report said, "Division Commander, you'd better evacuate here quickly. If nothing else happens, there will be Chinese soldiers along the Tibet Road heading north. The ** is coming to the headquarters, and the security force of the headquarters currently only has one squadron. If you don’t evacuate in time... "
"What will happen if we don't evacuate in time?" Yoshizumi Ryosuke couldn't listen to the words of persuasion at all now. As soon as the communications staff officer finished speaking, Yoshizumi Ryosuke's anger immediately transferred from Kage Sasayaki to the communications staff member, and then a He turned around and faced the communications officer, and continued to spit.
The communications staff officer did not dare to hide away, so he could only hold back his nausea and let Yoshizumi Ryosuke spit on his face.
Unfortunately, less than half a minute after Ryosuke Yoshizumi sprayed, there was a faint sound of gunfire outside the headquarters.
This burst of sudden gunfire finally interrupted Yoshizumi Ryosuke. Yoshizumi Ryosuke was shocked at first, thinking that the Chinese soldiers came so fast, and they reached the headquarters in such a short time, and then, Yoshizumi Ryosuke rushed to the window of the war room, lifted the curtains and looked out.
The war room faces Tibet Road, and the view is very broad.
When Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked up, he saw that the Chinese soldiers were coming down Tibet Road like a tidal wave. There was a Japanese patrol team on the street in front of them, trying to stop them, but they collapsed like a mud embankment after a flood. , those Chinese soldiers rushed over almost non-stop.
Only then did Yoshizumi Ryosuke panic. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the communications staff had just said. The guard force in the headquarters only had one infantry squadron, and there were thousands of Chinese soldiers rushing over along the Tibet Road. Therefore, No matter how strong the headquarters' defenses are, they cannot be defended.
At that moment, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and his adjutant hurried downstairs, preparing to evacuate.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke is not willing to be blocked here by Chinese soldiers and wait to die.
The headquarters has a front door and a back door. If you go through the front door, you will definitely collide with the Chinese soldiers, so Yoshizumi Ryosuke went to the back door. Unfortunately, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, his adjutant and a few guards had just arrived at the back door and had not had time. As I was going out, I heard a sudden gunshot outside the door. The ball was over and the back door was blocked!
(Dividing line)
It was Wang Jiageng who blocked the back door.
Wang Jiageng was a battalion commander of the original 87th Division. In the first stage of the Songhu Battle, the 87th Division, the 88th Division and Zhong Song’s 20th Independent Brigade were the first batch of troops to enter Shanghai. Wang Jiageng was in that group. Battalion, fought with the Japs for a full half month in Hongkou, and even reached the gate of the headquarters of the Japanese Navy's 6th Team at one point!
Therefore, Wang Jiageng is very familiar with the area of the Japanese Navy 6th Team Headquarters. He also knows that in addition to the main gate, the headquarters also has a back door. Wang Jiageng even thought that if the main entrance of the Japanese Navy Headquarters is blocked, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, an old Japanese soldier, will definitely He secretly walked through the back door, so Wang Jiageng led the Sixth Battalion to intercept them in advance.
"Hit me, beat me hard!" Wang Jiageng took the lead and charged at the front of the queue. He fired fiercely with a submachine gun and roared loudly, "Brothers, beat me hard. Don't let a Japanese go. I'll kill them all, kill all the little ones who are like dogs, kill all those little devils who are like dogs..."
"Kill all the little devils who are like dogs!"
"Kill all the little devils!"
"Kill them all!"
More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion started roaring loudly.
The dozen or so veterans following Wang Jiageng opened fire even more fiercely. The two Japanese soldiers had just rushed out of the back door of the headquarters. In the blink of an eye, they were swept away by the fire net formed by more than a dozen submachine guns. Those two poor Japanese soldiers , the whole body was pulled here and there by submachine gun bullets, and finally torn into pieces.
However, the little devil is not without the power to fight back.
Just after the two Japanese sentries were knocked down, more than a dozen bricks suddenly fell from the two brick walls facing the street on both sides. After the bricks fell, a dozen black bricks were immediately exposed. The shooting hole, and then, a dozen black gun muzzles protruded from the shooting hole.
Almost at the same time, the windows on the second and third floors of the headquarters also opened one after another.
Then, from behind the windows on the second and third floors, dozens of Sanba Gai branches appeared!
Seeing this scene, the hairs all over Wang Jiageng's body stood up in an instant. He immediately dodged and hid behind a protruding brick wall on the street. At the same time, he opened his throat and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hidden! Hidden! Hurry and hide…”
The veterans who followed up took cover one after another, but a few did not hear it and continued to charge forward with submachine guns.
The next moment, more than a dozen crooked-handled or Type 92 heavy machine guns protruding from the firing holes opened fire violently at the same time. Dozens of Japanese soldiers hiding behind the windows on the second and third floors also pulled their triggers and started flying. The rain of bullets instantly intertwined into a dense fire net, covering the few Chinese veterans who were rushing forward.
"Puff, puff, puff..." Heavy gunshots rang out, and several veterans fell to the ground.
"tractor!"
"Big Bear!"
"Lao Dao!"
Seeing those veterans lying in a pool of blood, many veterans who were familiar with them suddenly became jealous.
If you have never been in the military, you will never understand the feelings between comrades. The life and death dependence between comrades cannot be described in words.
The Japanese machine guns continued to spray fire, and the entire street was blocked.
The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were also suppressed under the eaves on both sides of the street and were not allowed to move forward.
However, a sneer suddenly appeared on Wang Jiageng's lips. If it were before, I really couldn't do anything to you, but now, I have someone who can take advantage of you!
At that moment, Wang Jiageng turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and push the cannon over here!"
Wang Jiageng gave an order, and a 37mm caliber anti-tank gun was immediately pushed over.
These two 37mm caliber combat anti-cannons were specially allocated to the Broadway Building by Kage Sasaki to strengthen the defense of the Sihang Warehouse. After the Sihang Warehouse was lost, these two combat anti-cannons became "naturally" The trophies of the patrol camp, Wang Jiageng expected that attacking the Japanese headquarters would be a tough battle, so he asked Shi Changqing to bring these two anti-tank guns.
In order to block the back door of the Japanese headquarters, Shi Changqing gave one of the combat anti-cannons to the Sixth Battalion.
"Fire cover!" Wang Jiageng gave the order. More than 100 officers and soldiers who were still hiding under the eaves on both sides of the street, as well as more than 100 officers and soldiers who had climbed to the second floor or even the rooftop of the buildings on both sides of the street, leaned out from their hiding places at the same time. , holding a submachine gun and firing violently at the Japanese headquarters in front.
The Japs at the Japs headquarters in front were a little confused and didn't know how to fight back.
Taking advantage of the little devil's dazed moment, two veterans quickly pushed the anti-tank cannon onto the street and quickly took aim. Another veteran opened the cannon door as quickly as possible, and the fourth veteran quickly loaded the cannon and then stepped back. , the third veteran quickly closed the gun port, locked the buckle, and then pulled the fuse hard.
"Boom!" The combat cannon suddenly made a muffled sound.
Then, a ball of fire roared out from the muzzle and shot towards the opposite Japanese headquarters like lightning. The next moment, a cloud of smoke and dust bloomed on the brick wall on the right side of the opposite Japanese Japanese headquarters. After the smoke and dust dispersed, they could It was clearly visible that a large hole had been broken into the dead brick wall on the right side.
