Shanghai, the British concession is close to the Suzhou River.
Although Shanghai is now in chaos, good order is still maintained within the concession. British troops guard the gate of the concession and often clash with the Japanese. The main reason is that the British refused to enter the concession for inspections by Japanese soldiers. Ended with the British victory, the concession is now like a paradise in the flames of war.
The rich continued to feast and feast in the concession, drunk their lives and dreams, the poor were struggling at the bottom, while more ordinary people were observing the four-row warehouse in the distance on the Suzhou River in the concession.
This is a habit, and there is also a belief. Every day, as long as they watch the blue sky and white sun flag on the top of the four-row warehouse are still flying, their hearts are very stable. A large group of people sit by the Suzhou River every day, staring into the distance. The top floor of the four-row warehouse, day after day.
Even if there are stray bullets flying around, even if the British patrols come and hunt them, even if the Japanese patrol boat clamors to get them off the shore, they still stand here, their eyes fixed on the sunny day.
But today, in the early morning of November 2nd, a loud noise came from the Four Lines Warehouse.
Before all the people on the opposite side of the Suzhou River could react, they saw a flagpole standing upright, suddenly falling slowly to the side.
"Down, down!"
"fall down!"
"The flag is down!"
"Don't fall!"
In the exclamation of all the people, the national flag on the top floor of the four-row warehouse slowly fell down, and finally fell slowly from the top floor. Everyone stared at the national flag, watching him drop little by little. .
When the national flag dropped, the surroundings were as silent as death, without any sound coming, and then a girl standing in the front burst into tears.
The crying soon infected everyone, and thousands of people gathered around in tears. Their spiritual pillars now collapsed, representing Shanghai's last resistance force and no longer existed.
"Brothers, sisters, and compatriots, let us not cry, we should be proud!" At this time, a young man holding a trumpet and organizing various slogans every day, wiped his tears and stood tall Yelling loudly.
"The soldiers of the Four Lines Warehouse, with a crowd of eight hundred people, fought tens of thousands of people in Japan. They persisted for six days and killed more than 10,000 Japanese invaders, wounded countless enemies, and killed countless Japanese officers. Although they have all died, they His spirit should be remembered. Do you still remember the songs we wrote for them? Everyone follow me and sing together!"
"it is good!"
The young man immediately found a high place and stood up, slowly speaking: China will not die, China will not die, look at the national hero Xie.
China will not perish, and China will not perish. Look at the 800 warriors fighting alone to defend the battlefield. There is artillery fire on all sides and wolves on all sides. They would rather die in battle than give in, and would rather die in battle than surrender.
Our national flag flutters in the encirclement **, flutters**, flutters**, flutters**.
Eight hundred strong men have one mind. One hundred thousand strong enemies cannot stop our actions. We are fierce. Our dignified and brave compatriots rise up and quickly catch up on the battlefield. Take the eight hundred strong men as an example. China will not perish, China will not perish. , China will not die, China will not die, it will not die! Will not die! Will not die!
Everyone present, everyone sang this song together. The sound was not loud at first, everyone was slowly choking, but as everyone behind stopped crying, the voice became louder and louder. Fluttering over the entire Shanghai, as long as the people who hear this melody, whether they can sing or those who can't sing, they all sing in unison.
(This song is called "The Song of Eight Hundred Heroes", which was composed by Du Taosheng and composed by Xia Zhiqiu. It was later renamed "China Will Not Die" and was widely sung. "This song was used as an interlude in the movie "Fortune Corps")
The people on the banks of the Suzhou River sang this song over and over again, again and again, for a long time, sending off to the guards of the Four Lines Warehouse, so that these heroes can take the last part of their journey.
A huge explosion on the fourth and fifth floor of Sixing Warehouse collapsed the floor of the fifth floor. Yamaguchi Kazuki, who was waiting for news on the fourth floor, heard a huge explosion from the roof, and immediately felt it. The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the roof of the building had large concrete and other things falling down. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Stone slabs and various things fell from the roof of the building. The unresponsive Japanese soldiers were instantly buried in the rubble. Yamaguchi Kazuki was the most miserable. His head was hit by a large stone slab. Become flat.
The surroundings of the Four Lines Warehouse became silent. A few hundred meters away, the Japanese commander, Masaki Ito put down the telescope in his hand a little tiredly: "Did you take it down?"
The staff officer beside him heard the huge explosion just now. Some were not sure whether they had already taken down the Four Lines Warehouse. They looked anxious: "It should be taken. There are only a few people left in the defender. We are hundreds of people. Attack, there should be no problem!"
At present, no Japanese officer dares to claim that the four-row warehouse must be taken down. Tens of thousands of people have attacked for six days, but they have not taken down 800 people. Hundreds of people have attacked and wanted to take down dozens of garrisoned warehouses. , It seems that a zero needs to be added.
"Send another team up to see what happened!"
"Yes!"
The attack on the Four Lines Warehouse ultimately fell on Ito Masaki. After all, he has been playing for so long and has experience, and he can also be used to back the pot if something goes wrong.
When a brigade below Masaki Ito climbed to the fourth floor, they found that the fourth and fifth floors of the four-row warehouse had been penetrated, and the fifth floor had also collapsed. The headquarters that stood on the fourth floor before was no longer found. Can see the dead body in one place, as well as some residual limbs buried under the ruins.
"Help!"
"Pain, pain, pain, help me!"
Some of the Japanese soldiers who were still alive were crying for help, but the soldiers in this brigade did not dare to move to save people. They were not sure if there were any other Chinese defenders in the Sixing Warehouse.
Hundreds of people were holding guns, groping forward cautiously in the warehouse, turning their heads to look at other locations from time to time, looking for possible enemies.
In this way, after a group of Japanese soldiers inspected the Sixing Warehouse upside down, they dared to be sure that there were no Chinese defenders in the Sixing Warehouse, and they had taken the Sixing Warehouse down.
"Head of the division, we have taken down the Four Lines Warehouse!" The captain rushed into Ito Masaki's headquarters with excitement, and he fell several times along the way. The excited expression on his face couldn't be controlled at all. .
Ito Masaki's face showed joy: "Have you taken it? Great, let's go!"
"Head of the division, we haven't thoroughly inspected the warehouse yet. I don't know if there are some wounded soldiers in it. After we inspect it and make sure it's safe, go in!"
Masayoshi Ito nodded his head, sat in his own position, sat back in his position again, and continued to wait.
About half of the Japanese in the alliance once again entered the four-row warehouse, and once again began to get busy. The first thing is to count the results.
The Japanese soldiers removed all the corpses of Chinese soldiers they could find from the warehouse, and in order to prevent the wounded soldiers from pretending to be dead, the Japanese soldiers would fire a shot at each corpse before approaching the corpse. It will be dragged after death.
These Japanese soldiers were silent all the time. Almost every corpse they saw, except for the corpses that had been properly placed before, remained in a combat posture.
Some corpses have been cold for a long time, but they still hold weapons tightly in their hands and stare at the front. They don’t feel like sacrifice at all. When a few soldiers approached, they didn’t dare to touch them easily. Throw out the thunder and die with them.
In the end, more than 180 corpses were found from the four-row warehouse. In addition, even if the Japanese turned the entire four-row warehouse upside down, no more corpses were found, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. .
"Only more than one hundred and eighty corpses?"
After repeatedly confirming the number of corpses, Ito looked at the officer beside him.
"Ha Yi, the head of the division, we searched the entire four-row warehouse and found only 180 corpses, no more corpses!"
Masaki Ito walked quickly again, sweeping through all the corpses. These sacrificed Chinese soldiers were very thin. Masaki Ito couldn't believe that this group of people actually blocked his attack.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Ba Ga, you must have missed something, the fourth floor, the fifth floor, are you looking for it? Didn't the fourth floor warehouse still have the sixth floor!"
Ito was pacing back and forth, with only a hundred people, actually blocking the empire's tens of thousands of troops for six days? If this news were to spread, the Japanese would become the biggest joke in the world, even inferior to the Italian army.
"The Chinese army is very cunning. They must have used some method to hide the body and dig it on the ground. They must dig it out for me!"
The Japanese soldiers got busy again, and this time they began to dig three feet. In any case, the Japanese did not want to believe that they had only a hundred people, not even two hundred people. New Bayi Chinese website debut
"Tell those reporters not to write silly, and not to take photos!"
"Ha Yi!"
The Japanese are very concerned about the situation in the warehouse of the four lines. Masaki Ito’s position in the division headquarters is accompanied by military reporters. If there is only such a result, Masaki Ito may not be able to keep the position of the division leader.
"Sir, some of the corpses of our warriors were found on the first floor. They were piled together, but there was no clothing on the corpses!"
"Nani?"
After hearing this, Ito Masaki was stunned, with a bad idea in his mind, and rushed to the first floor to check the area he was talking about as if he was crazy. (End of this chapter)
