Chapter 396
After receiving Yu Zhiqian's order, a group of soldiers slowly dived into the water.

There may be many people in later generations who can't swim, but in this era, as long as there is a river, the children who grow up around are not landlubbers. In order to subsidize the family, they go into the water to catch fish, and more because of naughtiness, they jump into the river in summer. Those who can go ashore have good water quality.

In the whole team, only a dozen people can't swim, but Yu Zhiqian sent four people around them to hold them up and prevent accidents when crossing the river.

At the beginning of November, it was slightly cold, and there was no large-scale global warming. In Shanghai at night, the outdoor temperature was about ten degrees, and the temperature in the water may be even lower. After entering the water, you can feel a biting cold.

Yu Zhigan put his weapon and backpack on his head, and swam forward quickly, looking around from time to time to make sure the surrounding environment was safe.

Just after swimming across the middle of the Suzhou Creek, a group of Japanese patrol soldiers appeared on the opposite bank, with flashlights, and began to patrol forward a little bit along the river bank.

"Go into the water!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he retracted his whole head into the water, and the rest of the soldiers would order one by one to pass back, and finally all the soldiers dived one by one towards the surface of the river.

"Qiangzi, hold your breath, don't be afraid in the water, brothers are dragging you, don't struggle!"

"it is good!"

The soldiers who can't swim are so frightened that they don't dare to move. They can only let their comrades drag them. After hearing the order to dive, they are even more frightened, but they don't dare to make big moves. They can only die Close your eyes and slowly dive into the water, this is your trust in your comrades.

On the other side of the river, there were about 20 Japanese patrolling soldiers, with flashlights, scanning the water surface from time to time, and continued to move forward after finding nothing unexpected.

Half a minute later, the patrol team left, Yu Zhiqian and others showed their heads from under the water, shook them, and continued walking.

After 5 minutes, everyone went ashore, and most of them were lying tired by the river. The Suzhou Creek is not wide, but it is not narrow. They are wearing a full set of Japanese equipment and rifles. They want to cross the river. For anyone It's all a test.

Not to mention that among these soldiers, there are still some who can't swim at all. It is not easy for everyone to cross the Suzhou Creek safely.

"A row of people, be on alert, and the rest of the people, rest on the spot for 1 minute. After 1 minute, we will set off. Everyone pour out the water in the shoes, and don't make any noise!"

A group of soldiers nodded and began to tidy up the things around them wearily.

The shoes, hats, etc. are full of water. A group of soldiers are shivering while tidying up their things. There is no wind today. After going ashore, after a little physical activity, the body temperature is slowly warming up.

It was slightly corrected for 1 minute. All the soldiers stood up and started to line up. Yu Zhiqian scanned the circle. The point was that there were still some places for the shoes. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go!"

Inside the Four Lines Warehouse, Zheng Shijue led a group of wounded soldiers and was nervously arranging the defense line in the warehouse.

"Battalion Commander, give me a grenade and I will guard the national flag!"

A soldier lying immobile on a stretcher gently pulled Zheng Shijue, indicating that he was also useful.

"Okay, I'll take you up!"

"Commander, give me one too. Hehehe, I can pull two too. I've killed more than a dozen devils. If there are two more, I can go down and show off with the fools. The fools killed three A devil, give him a slap in the face!"

There are not many wounded soldiers, and it is impossible to take care of all the places. Most of them are concentrated on the first and second floors. They are some defenders with leg injuries who have no problem shooting. They are responsible for sniping the charging Japanese. , as long as it can be delayed.

On the fifth floor, there were six or seven seriously wounded people sitting around the flag pole, holding grenades in their arms, and relying on each other. They were the last defenders of the Sixing Warehouse. After the devils rushed up, they would die with the devils.

An hour later, the Japanese began to attack again, which was similar to the previous attack. The artillery fire went first, and a dozen mountain cannons began shelling at the Sixing Warehouse, and a dozen shells landed around the Sixing Warehouse.

The original solid four-row warehouse, after several days of bombardment, has become crumbling here. The shells fell on the wall, blowing up the bricks on the gunshot, and the entire floor of the fourth factory warehouse was bombarded with more than a dozen large holes.

The current Sixing Warehouse is a dangerous building, which may collapse at any time. On the fourth day, the devils conducted an hour-long bombardment to blow up the Sixing Warehouse, but the Sixing Warehouse still stood tenaciously on the ground. By the Suzhou River.

"Brothers, the devil is here, put it in the bomb, go tell the fifth, prepare the flare!"

Zheng Shijue lay on the window and watched the Japanese attacking in the distance, shouting with all his strength, trying to let everyone hear his voice clearly.

After the wounded soldiers, quite a few people had their hearing damaged. If the sound was low, they couldn't hear any sound at all.

"okay!"

When a soldier with a lame leg heard it, he immediately hopped up one leg and climbed upstairs. Climbing the stairs was not easy, so the soldier climbed up with hands and feet.

On the top of the building, the wounded man named Lao Wu took out a flare from his arms, pointed it at the sky, and shot it out.

"call out!"

The sound of the flares rising into the air was the last sound all Japanese soldiers who attacked at night wanted to hear. Originally, there was night as a camouflage, and they could quickly approach the Sixing Warehouse, but after the flares were lifted into the air, they had nowhere to hide. The defenders of the warehouse can see them clearly.

"Onboard!"

A group of Japanese soldiers roared and rushed towards the Sixing Warehouse.

"beat!"

Zheng Shijue roared, and almost everyone on the first and second floors spoke immediately.

The Japanese attacking soldiers obviously felt that the firepower had become weak. There were only three machine guns firing from the window on the second floor, and the firepower on the first floor was also much weaker. They could easily rush into the Sixing Warehouse at a distance of about 50 meters.

Now the Sixing Warehouse can no longer see the color of the land, it is full of corpses, and the ground is full of Japanese corpses. Every time the Japanese soldiers take a step forward, they have to step on the corpses of their comrades in arms to move forward.

And some clever soldiers will lie in the pile of corpses when attacking, disguised as corpses and shoot. Although there are flares, they can't see clearly. From the third day to the fourth night, more and more Japanese soldiers used them This tactic caused the casualties of the defenders to rise sharply.
