Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 169 Absolutely!

It was early morning in Songhu on November 11st.

For everyone on this battlefield, there is no doubt that the mood is extremely complicated.

The Japanese, in their joy, were somewhat unwilling.

Chinese people, hope intertwined with sadness.

The Westerner breathed a sigh of relief but was a little dazed.

The Chinese who were still on guard yesterday ran away. Besides the concession, where else could they go?The point is, as the master, why don't they know?
But no matter how mixed feelings everyone has, the Japanese army has finally occupied the Sixing Warehouse, which also means that the entire urban area of ​​Songhu has completely fallen into the control of the Japanese army.

The Chinese have not left, they are still expecting a miracle to happen.

Maybe those Guojun brothers came out of nowhere to be remembered by the Japanese!

The Chinese can think of this, of course the Japanese can't think of it, no matter how they have a bag on their heads, they have learned to be smarter after being rubbed on the ground by the warehouse defenders for so many days!
At least 100 engineers entered the warehouse. Their task was to search the entire warehouse. In addition to looking for clues about where the defenders could go, more importantly, they were to find explosives that the defenders might have planted.

The hard work paid off, and the professional-level engineers of the Japanese army finally found what the Japanese commander was worried about.

A full 100 kilograms of explosives and five or six boxes of grenades were buried by the Chinese two meters below the two main load-bearing columns in the center of the building.

The Chinese are so clever that they were misled by their cleverness. They piled a lot of potatoes there, thinking that would make the experienced imperial engineers ignore that position?

The first floor was blown up like that, who would randomly pile up precious food there?

The Japanese engineer lieutenant who instinctively felt that there was something wrong ordered to remove the potatoes, knowing that these potatoes, which were full of doubts at first glance, also contained danger.

Booby traps were set up in the pile of potatoes. During the process of moving the potatoes, a grenade mixed in it emitted green smoke. Although the cautious Japanese engineers lay down quickly enough, the potatoes hit by the explosion of the grenade were still terrifying. .

If it weren't for the helmet protecting his head, the Japanese engineer lieutenant who led all this had reason to believe that it would definitely not be as simple as a full head.

In the two piles of potatoes, there were actually four hand grenades, one of which was a chain, and it exploded after being blown more than 20 meters away, directly destroying three of the engineers who had planned to hide [-] meters away.

The continuous 'booming' explosions aroused the sentiments of the somewhat lost Chinese people.

The middle-aged man in the suit and the rickshaw driver who had figured it out didn't leave, but returned to the street corner, eagerly waiting for the miracle to reappear.

The Japanese infantry had already withdrawn from the warehouse according to the military order and waited for the engineers to clear the field. When they heard the explosion inside, they felt for the first time that their commander was so wise and wise.

After paying the price of two deaths and one injury, the Japanese engineers who carried their heads to remove obstacles for the combatants finally found the wires for blasting, which were buried deep in the soil and extended beyond the warehouse to the other side of the river.

It may be that the Chinese felt that using booby traps to detonate the explosives buried deep under the load-bearing pillars was not safe enough, so they used this detonation method additionally.

The despicable Westerners and the Chinese Baga really conspired. After receiving the news, Wakibajiro directly gave XX the Queen of the Empire on which the sun never sets.

This also confirmed the fact that the Chinese dived into the Western Concession last night.

Although the Chinese made a mistake to allow the engineering troops to find the location of the explosives, the power of the hundreds of kilograms of explosives and the explosion of the hundreds of hand grenades they placed could definitely blow up the Sixing Warehouse.

And the reason why I didn’t put more explosives on the building and blow it up like last time is probably because it’s too close to the concession, and 200 meters away is their own relationship, or it’s a battle. After so long, the explosives are almost used up. I didn’t see that the Chinese even used grenades!

Although there is no one in the warehouse, and even the disappearance of weapons remains to be verified, but after more than half an hour of searching, another room containing more than a dozen boxes of grenades and damaged Maxim heavy machine guns, Su Luotong The basement of the machine gun, and two carefully camouflaged tunnels.

In addition, a lot of fuel was spilled all over the warehouse, including non-flammable diesel and highly volatile gasoline. Obviously, the Chinese who could not take away the fuel tried to let the gunfire ignite the fuel to burn the warehouse down.

But their attempt failed. The solid outer shell of the warehouse still blocked a large amount of artillery fire, except for a few houses on the outer side that were on fire, but they were quickly swept out by the air waves.

Diesel that has infiltrated into the soil on the ground is not so easy to ignite as long as a torch is not deliberately thrown, and the extremely volatile gasoline is not very dangerous as time goes by.

As long as no one is here specifically to light the fire.

The Imperial Japanese Army has flashlights, and there is no need for low-end lighting like torches, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

In addition, the engineering unit has fully confirmed that the warehouse is basically safe.

Wakiban Jiro has reported to the division headquarters, decided to use this place as the headquarters of the 36th Infantry Regiment, and obtained approval.

After receiving the inspection report from the engineering corps, Jiro Wakitata complacently invited Mr. Kimura Shaoxiong to enter the Sixing Warehouse to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

He decided to raise the flag of the United Army representing victory in front of tens of thousands of Chinese who had not yet left on the south bank of the Suzhou River.

On the grounds that he wanted to report immediately to the head of the brigade and the head of the division, Shaoxiong Kimura declined the invitation of Jiro Wakibata, who was about to win the victory, and left with his guards.

Wakiban Jiro took Makino Toshi and his two major captains into the Sihang Warehouse. Only Major Toyoda Hideo, who was completely abandoned, did not have this honor.

Such a glorious victory, the Japanese Colonel hoped to be watched by enough people.

All infantry squadrons participating in the battle were required to select [-] brave officers and soldiers to enter the warehouse to participate in the flag-raising ceremony.

Both tunnels were wet, and the water stains on the earthen walls also showed that they were flooded with water before, and all the water should have been drained last night, which made the Japanese engineers roughly understand the so-called Where did the flooding accident come from?

It turned out that it wasn't that I was unlucky enough to dig through the underground river, but it was caused by the artificial diversion of water by the warehouse guards.

This made Wakibata Jiro's face blush when he entered the warehouse. For a long time, the Chinese had to deal with all his tactics.

I really don't save any face!The Japanese Colonel's good mood disappeared in an instant.

As for why the Chinese cut off the waterway to drain the water in the tunnel, I am afraid that they are also trying to escape from the tunnel, but after the engineering and death squads climbed down to explore, there was no one in it except for the waist-deep mud. Even the Chinese like to use No explosives were found.

Thinking about it, the Chinese are not engineers skilled in digging holes in the Empire of Japan. It is estimated that they can dig 30 meters. If they want to dig hundreds of meters, they should study for a few years before talking about it!When it comes to drilling holes, it has to be the engineers of our Great Japanese Empire.

It has been determined that it is impossible for the Chinese to escape through the tunnel, so they can only sneak into the Suzhou Creek through the waterway and then enter the concession area.

No evidence is the best evidence.

Wakibanjiro already had a plan in his mind.

Only in this way can he apply to the headquarters of the dispatched army to enter the concession with armed forces to pursue those Chinese who fled.

This time, those Westerners had no excuses to stop them.The blood of the Imperial Japanese Army must not be shed in vain.

Wakibajiro has even thought about it, even if they hide well enough, those hateful Chinese who watch the battle on the south bank of the Suzhou River and shout for them every day must pay the price for it. He said whoever is, whoever is.

Even if hundreds of people are randomly arrested and shot here, you can still vent your anger, right?
Of course, before that, he had to complete the most important task --- raising the regiment's flag.

The Chinese retreated hastily, and the strip of cloth with the broken military uniform as the flag was still on the flagpole. As the captain of the regiment, he wanted to tear off the messy strip of cloth, and then, in front of all the elite officers and soldiers of the 36th Infantry Regiment and those In the face of the poor Chinese, solemnly hoist the alliance flag bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

12 infantry squadrons, 3 heavy machine gun squadrons, and 1 artillery squadron have drawn 320 people, plus 30 people from the flag guard squad directly under the infantry squadron. The backbone, even if the roof of the building has been blasted into a mess by the bombardment, they still stand upright.

In front of these elite Japanese soldiers stood a senior commander, a middle assistant and two major commanders. All officers above captain and above had put on their three-piece outfits, white gloves, leather boots, and command knives.

Although they had just experienced a big battle, both their faces and uniforms still had gunpowder smoke and blood on them, but this added a sense of iron and blood to this group of Japanese soldiers.

"This is the most tenacious imperial iron-blooded army I have ever seen. Although they have suffered failures, under the sunshine of autumn in China, they have regained the glory of the empire that they had lost."

This is how Fukuyama Shuichi, who was taking pictures of this group of iron-blooded troops on the roof, described it in his notebook.

That was the last record of this military reporter.

Commonly known as: must pen!
. . . . . . . . .

ps: Fengyue is depressed, really depressed.I chatted with the editor for a long time an hour ago, because there is still no Sanjiang this week, the editor asked Fengyue to wait another week, so, June 6st can’t be on the shelves, which means that no matter whether Fengyue can go to Sanjiang or not, the book will reach 1 It will be put on the shelves around 50D.

God!Will Fengyue become the first five-level author who wrote more than three months and reached 50 words before it was put on the shelves?This is really a sad story, book friends may be very happy, at least it doesn't cost money, but Fengyue also has to raise a baby, right? I wanted to earn some manuscript fees to subsidize the family, this . . . . .For the first half of the month, it will be cool to eat steamed buns.

Is it called 'Jubi' without reading the chapter title?The sadness is beyond words!Book friends who don’t vote, and plan to read pirated copies in the future, will your conscience hurt?
