Chapter 353 Mission: Four Lines Warehouse

1937, October, Shanghai.

The Battle of Songhu has been fought for more than two months. Millions of Chinese troops and hundreds of thousands of Japanese elite troops fought bloody battles in Shanghai and the surrounding areas for dozens of days, and both sides were exhausted.

Airplanes, naval guns, and Japan used various superior weapons and equipment, and continued to transport troops from the mainland, invaded Shanghai, and clamored that China would be subjugated in three months, but the Chinese army taught them a lesson here.

The Chinese army, which had an absolute advantage at the beginning, has shown signs of defeat over time. Due to various factors such as backward equipment, insufficient personnel training, and random command, the Chinese army has lost a large number of key defensive areas. Shanghai The periphery has fallen one after another, and the city of Shanghai is also in jeopardy.

On October 10, the Battle of Songhu came to an end. The Chinese army suffered heavy losses and was unable to continue. Thousands of troops may be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese, and the consequences will be disastrous. Although the battle failed, it shattered the arrogant slogan of the Japanese that China would be destroyed within three months.

It also changed the Japanese invasion route from north to south to east to west, and also provided valuable time for the industrial retreat of coastal cities, so the Chinese army began to retreat hastily, but due to the confusion of the retreat order, the war situation began to collapse. .

One of the three most elite German weapon divisions in the Chinese army, Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division, only 524 people left in the 400th Regiment, guarding the Sixing Warehouse on the north bank of the Suzhou River.

This four-line warehouse is very interesting. It is located next to the Suzhou River in the south-central Jing'an District of Shanghai. It is a six-story building with a reinforced concrete structure. The reason why it is called the four-line warehouse is actually: Jincheng Bank, Central South Bank, Continental Bank, Salt Industry The bank's joint warehouse.During the Battle of Songhu, the Sixing Warehouse was used as the headquarters of the 88th Division because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Sihang Warehouse is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not because the building is so strong, but because the east and south of the warehouse are the public concessions such as Britain and France. In order to avoid affecting the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to use aircraft and artillery. When the warehouse was in operation, the west and north sides had been occupied by the Japanese army. At this time, the Sixing warehouse was like an "isolated island".

Yu Zhiqian stood in the system space, looked at the paragraphs of the introduction, and took a deep breath. It was the Anti-Japanese War again, and he wanted to write about the Anti-Japanese War?Isn't this a murder?

"Head, where is this?"

The people standing behind Yu Zhiqian are Yan Qi, Mao Sanbai, Chen Yun, Dai Qiang, and Zhao Dehan. This time the task is a team task. You can choose real people to enter the system task together and complete the team task. This is also a system task. New features after the update.

However, in order to protect the safety of the host, a restriction was placed on these people, which is why Yu Zhiqian dared to bring them into the system space. They cannot reveal the existence of the system, only the host can disclose it, which also guarantees part of Yu Zhigan’s safety. Yu Zhiqian didn't intend to hide it any longer.

"System space, I told you!" Yu Zhiqian looked at the instructor and pointed his finger around. The instructor was stunned when he heard it, and then looked around like a curious baby: "Is this the system space?"

"Yes!"

Compared to the instructor who knew that Yu Zhiqian and others had a system before, Yan Qi, Mao Sanbai and others were even more shocked, looking at Yu Zhiqian in surprise: "Head, is this the legendary system space?"

"certainly?"

"Is it the same kind of space as infinite horror and high-risk occupations? Doesn't it mean that if the system can't reveal itself, it will be obliterated if it is revealed, why can you bring us in?"

"You guys have read too many novels, but you can't reveal the existence of the system, otherwise, you might get into trouble!"

As soon as the voice fell, the system synthesized voice appeared in the minds of the other six people. Everyone understood what happened and looked at each other: "Head, what if we die in a system task?"

"That means you are really dead, but I will exchange them for the best weapons and equipment for you, and try to improve everyone's survival rate!"

"It's better!"

Mao Sanbai was somewhat skeptical, this guy valued his own life more than anything else.

"I'll give you good body armor weapons, but at the end of the Songhu battle we went to this time, the four-line warehouse guard battle!"

After finishing speaking, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, from the magnificent scene of the Songhu battle to a building, which is the Sixing Warehouse guarded by Xie Jinyuan and his [-] men.

Many people have some misunderstandings. Why are there only more than 400 people guarding the Sixing Warehouse, and why are they called Eight Hundred Heroes?
This happened because the British concession was next to the Sixing Warehouse at that time. During the period, there were British troops stationed in the public concession. Seeing that Xie Jinyuan and 400 soldiers were determined to fight the Japanese army to the end, they tried their best to persuade them that the warehouse was fundamentally guarded. No, there is no need to make fearless sacrifices, and tell them that as long as they quietly disarm and retreat into the concession, everyone will be safe.In this regard, Xie Jinyuan firmly refused.

When the British army asked how many garrisons there were in the warehouse, Xie Jinyuan answered: 800 in order to strengthen the momentum and inspire fighting spirit.And generously said: "My 800 brothers would rather die in the warehouse than give up any chance to kill the enemy."

This is the origin of the four lines and eight hundred heroes.

"Head, are we going to observe the four lines?"

Sanbai is a person from Modu, who knows this building very well, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Any reinforcements are basically as difficult as reaching the sky.

"I don't know, but the system will not issue any missions that must be killed. Now I want to know, what weapon do we choose as the main weapon now, the standard rifle of World War II or some other weapon?"

According to Yu Zhiqian's previous thinking, he wanted to get a weapon that was easy to replenish ammunition, but after experiencing several system tasks, Yu Zhiqian found that as long as he carried enough weapons and ammunition, he didn't have to give up his advantages at all.

"Medium formal?"

Zhao Dehan had the same idea as Yu Zhiqian, but Yu Zhiqian shook his head and rejected the idea: "No, I think we should use HK417 uniformly, and carry bullets as much as possible, mainly loose bullets, and the rest, except body armor, Besides helmets and night vision goggles, wear as little as you can!"

"can!"

After thinking for a while, Mao Sanbai also agreed with Yu Zhiqian's idea. After all, if we go back to the past, the biggest advantage of Yu Zhigan and others is the advantage of weapons. Giving up the superior weapon is like cutting off an arm, which is not a wise choice.

"Well, there is still an hour left for all to choose HK417. I will exchange the weapons, and everyone will go to the shooting range next door to prepare a little bit and find out how to feel. I don't know what the mission is this time. Be careful, everyone. All the less ones come here!"

"Roger that!"

Mao Sanbai and the others began to observe the system space with curious faces, feeling a little apprehensive. After all, this was the first time they had come into contact with such a supernatural thing. If they said they were not nervous, no one would believe it.

"Fat Qi, do you think there is really a god in this world?" Fatty Mao looked around nervously and asked Yan Qi in a low voice.

Yan Qi thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "I don't know!"

Fatty Mao was stunned: "Weren't you a staunch atheist before?"

"But it's different now!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the system space here, and everyone became silent again. Indeed, no one in this system space can prove what this thing is. After all, no one can explain the existence of this thing. Yu Zhiqian himself didn't know what was going on with this thing.

In the command room, Yu Zhiqian quickly took out some materials, which were bought by Yu Zhiqian before. In order to prevent some missions from happening, he didn’t know the general plot, so he bought some books related to the war and put them back. .

Many people have heard about the Sixing Warehouse, so soon, Yu Zhiqian found records about it in some books.

四行仓库保卫战发生于1937年10月26日至11月1日，它的结束标志着中国抗日战争中的一场重大战役淞沪会战的结束。参加这场保卫战的中国士兵被称为“八百壮士”，他们抵住了日军的多番进攻，掩护国民革命军88师及其他国民革命军向西撤退。

The success of this defensive battle revived the morale of the Chinese soldiers and civilians who had declined due to the setback in the Songhu Battle.The Sixing Warehouse is only separated from the Anglo-American Concession by the Suzhou Creek, so the entire battle is displayed in front of the Western world.This further attracted the attention of the international community, but it did not bring substantial international support to China's war of resistance against Japan as the principal hoped.

"I hope it's not sticking to the Sixing Warehouse!"

Yu Zhiqian sighed softly, and took out his weapon. In addition to the ammunition, there are also drones, night vision goggles, and a few rifle grenades in his backpack. Maybe these things will be of some use in due course. .

As time passed, Mao Sanbai, Yan Qi and others who had just arrived in the system space also calmed down. Among them, Zhao Dehan was the most excited. His character was a little more frivolous than Mao Sanbai. Some are shameless.

"Okay, there are still 10 minutes. Everyone, make final preparations. If there is no problem, put on the body armor, grab the weapon and prepare to go. This time we are really fighting devils, so don't lose the chain by then!"

"Don't worry, boss, I will beat the devil hard and call grandpa grandma!" While speaking, Mao Sanbai was still waving his fists, while Yan Qi and the others were constantly packing their things, their faces a little dignified .

This is their first system task, so they don't know what to face, so they are a little nervous: "Zhao Dehan, can you tell me a few words?"

Zhao Dehan rolled his eyes at Yu Zhigan: "I'm also nervous, okay? I've never been in the system space, so I don't know what the mission is, but brothers, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, if we can die on the anti-Japanese battlefield, we will be considered worthy of death." , you are right!"

"Correct!"

"That's good, I will listen to our leader later!"

With 1 minute left in the countdown, everyone looked at Yu Zhiqian nervously: "Head, what is our mission this time? How do we enter the mission space? Is there history in the mission space? Will we change history by doing this? !"

With Mao Sanbai's few inquiries, Yu Zhiqian wished to shut up this guy's mouth, but these issues are of everyone's concern, Yu Zhiqian smiled: "Don't worry, you will be on the battlefield when you open your eyes and close them superior!"

"As for whether we are going to history, I don't know, and I don't know if we can change history, but it should not be the same dimension as us. After we have the system, I also doubt whether there is any parallel space in the world!"

Yu Zhiqian said a lot, but few people could understand anyway, but the countdown was over, and when Yu Zhiqian opened his eyes again, he had already appeared on the Songhu battlefield.

In 1937, Shanghai was not the Shanghai of later generations, but it was already able to see the prosperous scene here. The Shili Foreign Market is the most prominent representative here, and it is also a portrayal of the poverty and backwardness of this country. There are foreign companies everywhere. Local enterprises are not a good thing.

Yu Zhiqian and the others appeared in a street, and black smoke could be seen rising from everywhere in the distance. By this time of the war, it was basically in a state of disorder.

The system synthesized voice sounded in the mind, and the mission officially started: "The mission begins, the four-line warehouse guard battle! The mission time, October 1937, 10, the identity of the host, the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, the division staff, Yu Zhigan, the mission The goal is to stick to the Sixing Warehouse for at least five days, cover the retreat of the large troops, and lead the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse to stand out from the encirclement!"

After receiving the two tasks, Yu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief. First of all, he insisted on sticking to the Sixing Warehouse, but let himself stick to it for at least five days. During these five days, even if he did not participate in it, the Sixing Warehouse They were able to defend successfully. They crossed the Suzhou Creek and retreated after receiving the order on November 20st. In a few days, there were only more than 200 casualties, and nearly [-] Japanese soldiers were killed. This battle loss ratio can be It is said that it is the time of the Anti-Japanese War, which is unprecedented.

"Head, what is our mission?"

"Stick to the Four Lines Warehouse!"

When they heard this sentence, everyone was stunned for a moment. This task is very difficult. The Sixing Warehouse can defend it, but the premise is that there must be reinforcements around the Sixing Warehouse. If there are no reinforcements, the Sixing Warehouse is an isolated island. Japan People can surround them to death!

"Five days!"

When Yu Zhiqian told the time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, five days, no big problem!

ps: I write this at this time, I don't know if it is good or bad!Hope it's ok!
