Chapter 355 Four Lines Warehouse
"No need, we still have to stay in Shanghai and continue fighting the devils!"

After Yu Zhiqian's words fell, Du Haifeng was stunned for a moment, "Sir, Shanghai has fallen, and we are the last troops!"

"Have they all withdrawn?"

"I don't know about this, but the large forces have already retreated one after another a few days ago. We received an order to withdraw from SH City today. Now the Japanese large force has entered SH City. We encountered several people before. The brother troops are all retreating, we encountered a group of Japanese who were robbing not far ahead, we couldn't wait to do it, but we were bitten by them!"

After the Japanese entered Shanghai, part of the reason why no massacres or other incidents were exposed was because Shanghai was already an international metropolis at that time, and the Japanese did not dare to make big moves.

But the Japanese who pursued to Nanjing went crazy, and with some connivance, there was a tragedy that shocked China and the world. Of course, a tragedy may have happened, but it was not exposed.

"You retreat first, we still have something to do!"

Yu Zhiqian patted Du Haifeng on the shoulder, casually picked up a handful of Japanese [-] caps on the ground, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, the Japanese in khaki military uniforms appeared in the distance, sneaking towards Come over in this direction.

"boom!"

A shot was about 400 meters away, and the head of a small Japanese wearing a helmet was blown away. Yu Zhiqian pulled the bolt and aimed at other people. The sudden shot shocked the Japanese. The Japanese beside him immediately lay down on the ground and kept looking around with nervous expressions.

"Don't waste time, remember, after you find the brother troops, you must remind them, don't let the Japanese bite, leave one army behind, or there may be big problems!"

"it is good!"

Du Haifeng saluted Yu Zhigan: "Sir, you also pay attention to safety!" After speaking, he glanced at Yu Zhigan and Yu Zhigan's subordinates: "Brothers, retreat!"

The soldiers of the Sichuan army helped the injured brother up, and slowly retreated to the rear. Yu Zhiqian continued to fire a few shots to shoot out all the bullets in the [-]th cover, and then dropped him: "Let's retreat too, we can see the Suzhou River from here. , you should be able to find the Sixing Warehouse soon."

The Sixing Warehouse is not far from Yu Zhiqian and the others. When Yu Zhiqian and the others came around the Sixing Warehouse, they saw a group of soldiers busy nervously, sorting out some supplies and other things, and sending them into the warehouse. Among them, this should be Xie Jinyuan and his men.

"Hello sir!"

Although Yu Zhiqian was dressed a little weirdly, the people in the 88th Division recognized Yu Zhiqian at a glance. The system is still very powerful in this aspect, but it is only limited to the people of the 88th Division.

"Sir, you didn't withdraw?"

Seeing Yu Zhiqian, Xie Jinyuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. The entire 88th Division had already moved to the outside of the Shanghai field. They stayed in Shanghai to stop the Japanese from pursuing.

This is the first time I saw Xie Jinyuan himself. He is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He has a long face, small eyes, but piercing eyes. He speaks with a Hakka accent, but his voice is loud.

After returning a salute, Yu Zhiqian walked into the Four Lines warehouse: "Withdraw, where to withdraw, China is big and small, don't leave, stay and die with the brothers!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Xie Jinyuan frowned slightly, and when Yu Zhiqian saw it, he smiled: "Don't worry, I won't take part in the command except for my brothers, you just follow your plan, It will not disrupt your combat deployment!"

"Sir, that's not what I meant!" Xie Jinyuan felt a little embarrassed when Yu Zhiqian said that. Xie Jinyuan had been in the army for a long time. He graduated from the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. The battalion commander, divisional staff officer, brigade chief of staff officer, deputy regimental commander, and regimental commander were very disgusted by the presence of two voices in the army.

Yu Zhiqian's military rank is one level higher than his. If Yu Zhigan objects to something, it will be difficult for him to do so, but since Yu Zhiqian has already said such a thing, he has no worries. After saluting Yu Zhigan again, Xie Jinyuan Started to get busy.

Sixing Warehouse is a warehouse building located in the south-central part of Jing'an District, Shanghai, on the north bank of Suzhou River, and at the northwest corner of XZ Road Bridge. The house number of the main entrance is No. 1 Guangfu Road. The Sixing Warehouse is very large. Covering an area of ​​0.3 hectares, with a building area of ​​2 square meters, the house is 64 meters wide, 54 meters deep and 25 meters high.

Even now, the warehouse still looks like a colossus. It was built in 1931 and was the tallest and largest building in Zhabei area at that time.

The warehouse itself has some other uses as a bank warehouse. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is backed by the Suzhou Creek. If you want to attack, you can only attack from the position of the gate. There are more windows on the front of the building, so you can build it at a high place. In the machine gun position, the front of the warehouse is an open field without any bunkers. If the Japanese attack from the front, they will die.

The side is still close to the lease of the British. Now the Japanese have not broken their skin with the British, and the safety of the side can be guaranteed, so the entire Four Lines warehouse needs to withstand the enemies on both sides.

Yu Zhiqian walked up slowly from the first floor, kept observing the window, and found that this place is indeed a solid war fortress. If there are enough supplies and manpower, unless the Japanese bombard with large-caliber naval guns, or bombers with large equivalent Air bombs, otherwise it would be almost impossible to capture here.

"Where's the flag?"

When Yu Zhiqian walked halfway, he suddenly turned his head and asked a soldier beside him. The soldier froze for a moment and shook his head: "It seems to be below!"

"Go and ask!"

"it is good!"

Soon Xie Jinyuan received the news from his subordinates, and patted himself on the head. He actually forgot such an important thing, and quickly sent out to find the national flag. About ten minutes later, he rushed back with several national flags .

"Sir, thank you, otherwise we would have really forgotten such an important thing!"

"It's okay, let the brothers gather on the roof, let me say a few words!"

Now Little Japan has not yet attacked or has not come to the Sixing Warehouse, and there is still time to mobilize. Originally, this was Xie Jinyuan's business, but now Yu Zhiqian, as the person with the highest military rank, feels that he needs to improve his morale.

A few minutes later, except for the necessary garrison personnel, everyone rushed to the roof to assemble.

The roof of the Sixing Warehouse is huge, with two entrances, almost as big as a school playground. At this moment, there are nearly 400 people standing neatly, and everyone is standing straight, staring at Yu Zhiqian.

"Brothers, I am Yu Zhigan, the deputy chief of staff of the 88th Division. Some of you have met me, and some of you have not, but you will all know me in the future. Take a step back!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, everyone was still staring at Yu Zhigan, without much change. This group of people were all determined to die, and Yu Zhiqian was not a general. They would not feel much honored to defend with them.

"Brothers, Shanghai is about to fall, and the Japanese have basically occupied most of the area, but as long as we are still there, as long as our flag is still flying on the roof of the Sixing Warehouse, Shanghai will not be lost, we are Shanghai The last defender, we want the whole of China and the whole world to see that we Chinese are determined to resist, even if we all die, we must hold our ground and not let the little devils occupy Shanghai!"

Hearing Yu Zhigan's words, Xie Jinyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and after Yu Zhigan finished speaking, he shouted: "We must win!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

Four hundred soldiers shouted for victory, and the sound waves soared into the sky. Many people around the Sixing Warehouse heard it clearly and turned their heads to look at the location of the Sixing Warehouse.

"Raise the national flag! Sing the national anthem!"

Following Yu Zhiqian's order, two soldiers holding the national flag walked to the front of the Four Lines Warehouse, holding the blue sky and white sun flag in their hands, put the national flag on the flagpole, and began to raise it slowly, while the rest of the soldiers followed behind. Singing the national flag song "Blue Sky, White Sun and Ground Red"

The Republic of China is one of the few countries in the world that has a national anthem. The so-called national anthem means that when the flag is raised, the national anthem is not sung, but the national anthem is sung.

"The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the products are abundant, Yanhuang Shizhou, East Asia is the roost."

"Don't give up on yourself, don't be complacent, honor our nation and promote great harmony."

"Entrepreneurship is difficult, remembering the martyrs, it is not easy to maintain success, don't make quick achievements in vain."

"With one heart and one mind, stick to it from beginning to end, the sky is bright and the sun is red!"

"With one heart and one mind, stick to it from beginning to end, the sky is bright and the sun is red!"

As the uniform national flag was sounded, the national flag anthem sounded throughout the Sixing Warehouse and surrounding areas. Not only the four hundred soldiers were singing this song, but the surrounding residents and common people watched the national flag rising over the Sixing Warehouse. They all stopped what they were doing one after another, and began to salute and sing in the direction of the Sixing Warehouse.

Shanghai has not yet fallen. This is the first feeling in everyone's mind when they see the national flag flying on the Sixing Warehouse. Yu Zhiqian's flag-raising ceremony is over, and he can feel the spirit of the soldiers around him has changed completely. .

They were dead soldiers before, knowing that they may not live long, but now they are fighters, their eyes are full of fighting spirit, even if they die, they will drag a Japanese back, now their eyes are full of rebellion, they We must use our lives to guard this national flag, guard this warehouse, and tell the world that Shanghai has not lost it.

"Sir, a British leased officer named Fars wants to see you!"

At this time, a soldier walked up to Xie Jinyuan and whispered something, Xie Jinyuan looked at Yu Zhiqian: "Sir, there are British people who want to see us!"

"British?"

"Ok!"

"Go and have a look!"

Of course Yu Zhiqian knew what these British people wanted to do. Compared with people from other leased countries, this group of British people was not bad, at least for now, he wanted to extend an olive branch and protect Xie Jinyuan and his family. men.

On the first floor, Yu Zhiqian saw this British officer named Fars. Like most British officers now, he had a goatee and was wearing a decent military uniform. He was followed by two soldiers, standing in a four-row warehouse Constant surrounding layout situation.

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Fars!" After Yu Zhiqian saw it, he stretched out his hand to greet him.

"You can actually speak English, have you ever studied abroad? Mr. Colonel, nice to meet you!"

The two shook hands, and Yu Zhiqian pointed to Xie Jinyuan next to him: "This is Xie Jinyuan, Captain Xie, and he is also the person in charge after this break!"

"Hello, thank you, Commander!"

"I don't know Lieutenant Colonel Louis, what is the purpose of your visit, this place will soon become a war zone!"

Fars looked at the surrounding situation and said slowly: "Hi, I am the British military attache stationed in Shanghai. Now most of your troops have withdrawn from Shanghai. Shanghai has fallen. You have become a lone army. We, the British, In the spirit of humanitarianism, I hope that I can provide you with some help, and I hope that I can help you!"

"for example?"

"For example, you can withdraw into our lease, and we can guarantee that the Japanese dare not enter the lease, and your safety can be well guaranteed!"

Yu Zhiqian translated this sentence to Xie Jinyuan, and both of them fell into silence. Finally, Yu Zhiqian said slowly: "Thank you sir, but we are the Chinese army, and our order is to guard the Sixing Warehouse. Before the order, we will not leave the warehouse, but we still thank you for your proposal, what we need now may be weapons, ammunition and food, if you can provide us with some support in this regard, I will be grateful!"

After hearing this, Fars shook his head: "Mr. Colonel, I sympathize with your experience very much, but we have not had any conflicts with the Japanese now, and we are on a neutral side. According to international law, we cannot provide you with any weapons, ammunition and food. support, but if you can't hold on, you can withdraw into our lease at any time!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhiqian smiled, took out the watch in his hand, and then took out two small gold bars from the back of his backpack and looked at Louis. This was something Yu Zhiqian had prepared before. Contact, it's ready to spare.

"Mr. Fars, we don't need you to support us in the name of the United Kingdom, but a donation from an international caring person. These are considered as funds for your activities. I think Mr. Fars will definitely have a way to provide us with some needs. thing!"

After seeing the gold bar, Fars showed a smile on his face, and carefully weighed it in his hand: "I need to take a lot of risks, and the Japanese will come soon!"

"I'll find a way!"

"Then I'll prepare well, you can contact this station!"
