Chapter 393 Five Days
Three days later, on the roof of the Sixing Warehouse.

Now the roof of the Sixing Warehouse is no longer the top floor, but the fifth floor of the past. As for the places above the fifth floor, they have all been blown up by the crazy Japanese, leaving only ruins.

However, the blue sky and white sun flag is still flying on the top of the Sixing Warehouse Building. Although it is broken, it still stands on the top of the Sixing Warehouse Building.

The Japanese have been attacking crazily for five days, and for five full days, there was still some rest time for the Japanese attack in the first two days, but now, the Japanese attack has reached the point of madness. In an hour, the Japanese will launch a new attack.

As the sun goes down, the current Sixing Warehouse has changed its appearance. Many Shanghainese look at it from the other side of the Suzhou River, and the entire Sixing Warehouse seems to be a bit shorter. Like a giant, the spiritual giant in their hearts.

It was this giant who, in front of them, repelled the enemy's attacks again and again, and stubbornly killed one after another Japanese, so that the Japanese have not been able to completely occupy Shanghai so far.

The headlines of newspapers in Europe and the United States published the heroic deeds of the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, which aroused great repercussions in these countries. Europeans and Americans in this era admire heroes.

After the fall of Shanghai, the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, with 800 people, prevented 30 Japanese from attacking for five days and five nights.

There was no reinforcements, no artillery support, and the Japanese, who were equipped several times better than themselves and possessed various superior equipment such as airplanes, cannons, and tanks, resisted tenaciously and killed more than 1 people.

Everything conforms to the European and American definition of a hero. It is even said that in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, this army is the embodiment of a hero.

However, several major domestic newspapers used the words "Shanghai has not yet fallen" as a huge headline to introduce this army in detail.

On the third day, Principal Jiang also sent a commendation order. All members of the 524 regiment were promoted to one level, Xie Jinyuan was promoted to major general, and Yu Zhiqian was also a major general. However, he has not yet retreated. .

The reason why the Japanese attacked crazily was not unrelated to Matsui Iwane's death, but the most important reason was that a very important person, Hatohiko Asaka, died at the celebration banquet.

The name Asaka Miya Hatohiko once appeared in textbooks. He was one of the culprits of the massacre and the prince of Japan.

He is the grandson of the Fushimi Palace Prince Kuni, the eighth son of Prince Kui Gong Asahiko, and the uncle of Emperor Hirohito of Showa, and was bestowed the palace title of Asaka Palace by Emperor Meiji.

In history, King Asaka Miya Hatohiko married Prince Fuminomiya Yoshikonai, the concubine of Emperor Meiji, in 1910. He studied at the Japanese Army Military Academy and the Japanese Army University, and went to study in France in 1922.

After returning to Japan, he successively served as the head of the First Infantry Brigade, the head of the Guards Division, and the military counselor.After the Japanese imperialists launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, he succeeded Matsui Iwane as the commander of the Shanghai dispatched army. It was he who issued the order to "kill all the captives", which led to a tragic massacre.

He was later promoted to general of the army.Because he belonged to the Japanese royal family, he escaped the trial after the war.He broke away from the royal family and changed his name to Chaoxiang Yuyan. He died of illness on April 1981, 4, at the age of 12.

According to the historical trajectory, this person should be Matsui Iwane who came to replace him in December of this year and became the new commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, but now he has come to Shanghai to handle affairs.

At this time, Asaka Palace Hatohiko was invited by Matsui Iwane to the celebration banquet, and appeared as the last important guest. This is why Matsui Iwane came on stage again. He was attacked by Yu Zhigan when he was preparing for the introduction.

The death of King Hatohiko Asakamiya was even more unacceptable to the Japanese than the death of Iwane Matsui. On the night of the deaths of Iwane Matsui and King Hatohiko Asakamiya, the Japanese Minister of Army accepted the emperor’s summons. After being criticized by the emperor, he returned to the army headquarters.

The death of the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army made the Army Headquarters need to re-elect a commander. At this time, the Army reached an order knowing that there was still a place in Shanghai that had not been occupied. Whoever takes down the Sixing Warehouse will be the new commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

The earthquake in Japan is not over yet. Well-informed reporters have reported the death of the commander of the Japanese dispatched army and the prince. At the same time, the ambassador and some consuls who died yesterday were also reported.

A total of five countries' ambassadors and consuls were sacrificed, and more than ten countries' ambassadors and consuls were injured. Almost all the affected countries sent diplomatic interviews to Japan and needed an explanation. The Japanese are basically apologizing and apologizing every day. Catch the murderer.

In Shanghai now, apart from the fact that there are more and more divisions and regiments around the Sixing Warehouse, the rest of the places are full of groups of Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese soldiers are patrolling the streets, looking for any possible problematic places, and wantonly arresting any suspects. It can be said that the Japanese have fallen into a state of madness, arresting people everywhere, looking for people everywhere. With the thought that it would be better to catch one thousand by mistake than one by mistake, the whole Shanghai fell into panic.

No matter how great the outside world changes, it has nothing to do with the defenders in the Sixing Warehouse. After the Japanese Army Headquarters issued an order, the gunfire at the Sixing Warehouse never stopped.

On the third day, instead of the troops of the 101st Division, the Chongteng Detachment came out of nowhere and launched an attack on the Sixing Warehouse, but the effect of their attack was worse than that of the 101st Division.

The 101st Division, Yu Zhiqian and others have been fighting for two days, and have summed up a lot of methods, but after the Chongteng detachment came up, they followed the traditional way of attacking the Chinese army, attacking with three tricks.

In the first round of their attack, they were hit head-on by the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse. They were double-teamed by firepower on both sides, coupled with machine gun fire from the front, and shot dead in line after entering the door.

The Chongteng Detachment, which attacked for the first time, just touched the gate of the Sixing Warehouse, and was defeated by the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse. Group after group fell down. The attacking force of more than 1000 people finally retreated successfully. No one arrives.

The second attack on the heavy rattan detachment learned from experience and came up with a new method, which is to let the soldiers rush to the downstairs of the Sixing Warehouse.

But this time, they miscalculated again. The fear of being dominated by grenades in the 101st Division was once again tasted by the Chongteng Detachment. In the second attack, the Chongteng Detachment left five or six hundred corpses.

After the end of the first wave of attack, the subsequent attack of the Japanese can be described as crazy, almost achieving a seamless attack.

The Japanese invaded the Sixing Warehouse four or five times, but they were stubbornly repulsed each time. However, the number of casualties of the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse was far higher than the historical data.

"Have the casualties been counted?" Standing on the roof, Yu Zhiqian was smoking a cigarette, and there were several wounds on his body. These wounds were left over these days. Everyone was injured. Xie Jinyuan was also injured in one arm and leg. Also injured.

These are minor injuries. Mao Sanbai, a fat man, had his hair shaved on his head. He was almost headshot. The bullet flew past his brain. If Yu Zhiqian hadn't pressed it down forcibly, Mao Sanbai might be the man now. Maybe he really became a dead fat man.

Chen Yun was a little better, but there was an extra wound on his arm, which was stabbed by the devil's bayonet. It was left when he fought the bayonet with the devil before.

Dai Qiang was the luckiest, because he was a sniper, so he was only slightly scratched, and there were no other major problems.

Zhao Dehan was also lucky, he was shot in the shoulder blade, but was blocked by the body armor, and was stabbed in the leg by the devil. After he was bandaged, he walked with a limp.

Previously, Yan Qi recovered from his injuries and was able to walk out of bed. When the Japanese attacked with gas bombs, Yan Qi used the emergency first aid kit brought by Yu Zhiqian. The material used in it was better than the gauze used by ordinary wounded soldiers. Although he was also infected by the gas bomb, Yan Qi did not touch the wound like other injuries, so there was no major problem.

Xie Jinyuan dropped a cigarette, leaned against the wall, smoked, looked into the distance with some dull eyes, and nodded slowly: "The statistics are out!"

"How many?"

Xie Jinyuan blew out a mouthful of smoke rings: "150 people were sacrificed, 37 people were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard it, he lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Are there so many casualties?"

"Yes!"

More than 100 people were sacrificed, much more than in history. Yu Zhiqian knew that these were all brought by himself, so he patted Xie Jinyuan on the shoulder vigorously: "These are all my problems. If it wasn't for me, these brothers would not Will sacrifice!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head: "Sir, I don't blame you, I and all the brothers don't blame you, how many devils have you made us? Without you, we would only kill more than 200 people. You see, there are piles of ghosts piled up below now." There are at least 1 corpses of devils, 1, sir!"

"Don't call me sir, you are also a major general!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head: "Sir, you are my officer. How many people were sacrificed in total when the Japanese invaded Shanghai? There were 1 people, maybe there were, and the number of people killed by our regiment exceeded one million." Dajun, after the brothers die, go underground, face other comrades-in-arms, face the ancestors, can give their thumbs up, say a word, it is worth it!"

Xie Jinyuan was very excited when he spoke, and kept gesticulating with his hands. Yu Zhiqian looked at him and knew what he was thinking. Xie Jinyuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely: "You little devil, sir, do you know? Sacrifice The youngest is only 17 years old, he is still a child!"

The 17-year-old child is called Gouzi. In Yu Zhiqian’s mind, the two Gouzi he met in Changde came to mind. Both of them are called Gouzi. The name Gouzi can be seen everywhere in this piece of China. feed.

But the two dogs are both heroes and deserve to be commemorated.

Xie Jinyuan was in pain, and God seemed unwilling to see this hero cry. The sun slowly set towards the west, and finally the sky was rendered golden red.

Looking out from the Sixing Warehouse, what you see is not land, not ruins, but a place, a place of corpses, so densely packed that it is impossible to count. No one knows how many Japanese fell in front of this warehouse. It may only be known by the Japanese after the war.

The bright red blood, the dark red blood clots, and the painful screams from time to time made all the people around here feel that this is not the world, but hell, the bloodiest [-]th floor of hell.

The location on the first floor of the Sixing Warehouse was blasted by the Japanese with a large number of explosives. The place changed hands several times. Both Yu Zhiqian and Xie Jinyuan led people to fight bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese there.

In the end, he blocked the Japanese out of the door with his own flesh and blood, making this four-row warehouse a nightmare that the Japanese will never be able to erase.

And in the past few days, people have been mingling around, taking pictures around the four-line warehouse, corpses everywhere, Japanese flags scattered, and the blue sky and white sun flags flying on the roof, forming a sharp contrast, just like this time in Japan Like invading China, it is doomed to futility.

The defenders in the four-row warehouse, everyone can be said to be exhausted now, and even the ammunition has already been used up, but it doesn't matter, there are all corpses around, just push away the corpses, and you can find yourself from the Japanese Need ammo, grenades.

However, the Japanese launched a deadly charge in the later stage. The people who charged forward only carried a dozen bullets, no grenades, no food, just bayonets, and fell on the way to the charge, so that the defenders in the warehouse could not get any bullets. Supplies, rushing into the warehouse, there will not be a few bullets left.

But even so, the warehouse is still in the hands of Yu Zhiqian and others, and has not been occupied by the Japanese.

The people watching the battle on the other side of the river can no longer cheer. They are all silently praying for the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, hoping that the soldiers here can become heavenly soldiers and generals, and leave here on the clouds, don't insist anymore.

There was even a long banner on the opposite side, urging Xie Jinyuan and Yu Zhiqian to retreat, saying that they had done a good job.

Yu Zhigan was unwilling to retreat, Xie Jinyuan was unwilling to retreat, and all the soldiers were unwilling to do so. The only thought in the minds of all officers and soldiers was how many devils they could have. With one less, the pressure will be reduced a little, and maybe a big victory will be won.

But today is the end of the fifth day, Xie Jinyuan received three orders to retreat, and Yu Zhiqian's mission lasted more than half a day.

With no aid, no ammunition, and no food, it is time to retreat, leading the brothers of Sixing Warehouse to break out of the encirclement!

　Today is still [-]D, the progress of shooting in the morning is very fast, I hope I don’t have to stay up late today.
