Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 140 The Imperative
Compared to Xie Jinyuan, who was staring at the night sky in the concession, and two Chinese military officers who were discussing how to escape from the Jedi in the warehouse.

Waki Itata Jiro and Makino Shunzhongzuo two unlucky bastards looked at each other in pain at the moment.

Originally, their strategies had already succeeded, no, to be precise, more than half of them succeeded.

According to the report from the intelligence personnel 10 minutes ago, the exact number of Chinese defenders in the Sixing Warehouse withdrawing to the concession was 254, with 13 wounded, which means that the Chinese defenders were indeed forced by diplomatic pressure as he had planned. The main force withdrew.

According to the previous investigation by the senior intelligence personnel of the empire, there were more than 410 people in the original defenders. This subtraction means that there are still about 150 Chinese in the warehouse who were scared back by his deadly trap. .

This Baga is really an extremely painful number.

"Your Excellency, Captain, there may not be so many people. Our army fought with it for three days. Our army suffered heavy losses. The Chinese are not invulnerable. Maybe the number of dead is very heavy. The Chinese that was originally used for the rear of the palace must be insufficient. Hundreds of people, just the strength of two infantry squads." Shao Zuo, a black-faced fisherman in Hokkaido, saw the boss finished the subtraction with a gloomy expression, and hurriedly reassured him.

If you can't speak, you can't speak without talking?

It's okay not to mention the number of the opponent's dead in battle. The two bosses of the 36th Infantry Regiment can pretend that they don't remember it.

After three days and four nights of fighting, the 3300th Infantry Regiment, which had a staff of nearly 36 people, lost a total of more than 1600 people, not including those who were loose and dehydrated.

The number of 13 wounded reported by the intelligence personnel is already shocking. It is good for you to say that the opponent may have killed 50 people in battle, so maybe they only killed 5 people in battle?
Baga, is this the rhythm of the battle loss ratio reaching 50 to 1?Even the old lunatic Nogi Xidian didn't hit such an exaggerated battle loss ratio back then!
For some reason, the commander of the Japanese army, who had already ignored this sad comparison of numbers, unexpectedly saw a group of aboriginals with bare upper body and lower body wearing grass skirts, carrying wooden spears, swarming up and besieging the modern city with heavy machine guns and cannons. The picture of the army, and he is the commander with oil paint on his face, shirtless, and pheasant feathers on his head.

Seeing His Majesty's complexion instantly turned stinky, Makino Shun glanced at the black-faced Major who didn't know what he said wrong, and diverted the topic to other places: "Your Excellency, Captain, half an hour ago, the concession was forced to fight because of our toughness." The words and attitudes rebounded, and they even sent a telegram to His Excellency General Matsui Iwane, saying that they are not afraid of war, what is the attitude of the General?"

"Those Westerners, that is to say, it's okay to talk big. If they weren't afraid of war, what would they have done?" Wakiba Jiro curled his lips in disdain, but his face became serious.

"However, what Your Excellency the General means is that our most important enemy at present is China. When our Great Japanese Empire conquers the vast China, the grain and rich mineral deposits produced on China's fertile land will contribute a steady stream of benefits to the empire. Iron and steel, by then, airplanes, cannons, tanks, and warships will be deployed in the imperial army at a dazzling speed, and we have the most heroic soldiers in the world. In less than ten years, the empire will become the world's number one military power.

At that time, those arrogant and stupid Westerners should just kneel down and lick the uppers of our shoes. "

The words are majestic and majestic, and the ideals are full of imagination, but in fact the subtext is just: don't pinch the Westerners first, the brothers have not even got it done with the Chinese!

I have to say that after being beaten several times in a row, the Japanese army commander who was already full of hair is really much more honest now, without the imposing iron-blooded temperament that slaps the table, he is not cute anymore.

In the eyes of the two subordinates, the unlovable Colonel has basically become a weak chicken. He said a lot of things in a cloud of mist, nothing more than to let the Westerners brag for the time being. Let's just listen, but you are so special Liang is talking about how to deal with the Chinese who are now retreating into the warehouse!

After staring wide-eyed and small-eyed for quite a while, the Japanese lieutenant commander had no choice but to continue his duties as a subordinate: "The Chinese commander is ruthless enough to withdraw the main force to block the mouths of Westerners, but they use our army to stay A small number of troops continue to occupy positions, and continue to create resistance and public opinion in China to build momentum for their future promotion.

We may be able to make a fuss about this aspect, and Chinese people care about reputation very much. "

Wakibanjiro lowered his eyebrows, and did not respond to his subordinate's suggestion.

Obviously, Jun Makino's dark behavior against the evacuated Chinese commander was not the answer he wanted.

The light of wisdom on the forehead of the black-faced Major who had just made himself a boring man lit up again, and interjected: "Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese used to defend a fort with more than 400 people. Our army has many difficulties in conquering it, but now they There are only a hundred people left, and the firepower is at most one-third of the previous one.

However, our army already has two heavy artillery to support it. Yesterday's daytime bombardment achieved remarkable results. What else do we have to worry about? "

"Yin Fuji-kun, what do you mean?" Wakibanjiro looked quietly at the dark night sky hundreds of meters away, "Are you attacking?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain, attack!" Yin Tengzhong Er nodded confidently.

"The reason why the Westerners in the concession suddenly became so tough is that they underestimated our imperial army because they saw our army lose in the fortified battle of Sixing Warehouse. In front of people, wipe out all the remnants of the Chinese army in the Sixing Warehouse.

I also believe that His Excellency the Division Commander will agree with the combat plan of my 36th Infantry Regiment. "

Wakibanjiro turned his gloomy eyes to the tall building hundreds of meters away. He knew that not only was he already chilled by this warehouse, but the imperial warriors under his command might also feel psychologically involuntarily when they saw this warehouse. shadow.

But not many people can be as confident as this foolish fisherman in front of him.

But he has no second choice.

Just as the silly fisherman Shao Zuo said, the strength of the Chinese has been greatly weakened, but his strength has increased. If such a huge gap still makes the 36th Infantry Regiment stop, then the entire 3rd Division It will become a super big joke for the Songhu Dispatched Army.

Even, the entire empire will become a joke of the Western world.

In order not to become a joke, a strong attack is imperative.

This truth is not only understood by the officers of the 36th Infantry Regiment, but also by the Lieutenant General of the 3rd Division who has received the battle report ahead.

The lieutenant general of the Japanese army did not hesitate to comment "Quite!" on the 36th Infantry Regiment's call for battle message, and then did not pay any attention to it.

After all, compared to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops who are frantically retreating from Songhu City to the west of Shanghai, which is of great concern to the entire Songhu Dispatch Army, what the 36th Infantry Regiment, which is in charge of mopping up Zhabei, is now facing There are only more than a hundred Chinese people, which is really not worth mentioning.

No matter how loud the commotion was, it was only at the tactical level. The senior Japanese generals all set their sights on the strategic level.

The grand strategic battlefield where the first battle can determine the world is right in front of you, and the small four-row warehouse is a ball!

But the Japanese lieutenant general didn't know that the battle plan he personally approved had completely sent the infantry unit under his command into the abyss.

As a result, the 3rd Division became the first infantry unit of the Japanese Songhu Expeditionary Army whose designation could be revoked since the Battle of Songhu.
