Chapter 61
Although Xu Qingfeng was mentally prepared for this news.

But still pretending to be surprised: "Brother Zhongmin, do we still need to stick to the Sixing Warehouse?"

Xie Jinyuan nodded and said: "On this point, there is no latest order from Shangfeng, that is to say, the previous order to stick to it for seven days is still valid.

We have to stick to it for at least four more days! "

After saying this, Xie Jinyuan suddenly looked at Xu Qingfeng earnestly and said, "Brother Xu, it is our department's duty to stick to the Sixing Warehouse.

You are those who joined halfway, and are not within the scope of the previous order.

Right now the enemy outside the warehouse has been severely damaged, and its main force has also been attracted and restrained by the main force of our army.

Now is the best time to break out of the encirclement. Therefore, I suggest Brother Xu immediately lead his officers and soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

Xie is willing to lead the soldiers of my 88th Division to the rear to cover your evacuation. "

Xu Qingfeng said: "Brother Zhongmin, if we want to withdraw together, you and I both know that the main force of our army is about to withdraw.

The fall of Songhu is a foregone conclusion, and our two lone troops have actually been abandoned.

Therefore, there is no need to continue to hold on to Sihang Warehouse.

You, my brother, should take this opportunity to join forces to break out of the encirclement, leaving something useful to wait for the next battle. "

Xie Jinyuan shook his head and said: "Brother Xu's kindness is appreciated, and the order I received is to guard the Sixing Warehouse for seven days.

Never retreat without an order.

As a soldier, disobeying military orders and leaving his post without permission is intolerable under the military law.

As a Chinese soldier, when the country is in crisis, it is even more shameful to run away and fear death!
Therefore, I have made the determination to stick to the end and swear to live and die with Sixing Warehouse, please stop persuading Brother Xu. "

Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly. He understood that Xie Jinyuan was an upright and loyal patriotic soldier.

At this moment, he has already put his personal life and death aside. Without an order from his superiors, it may be impossible to persuade him to retreat.

Just like Zhou Weiguo during this period, they were far from completely disappointed with the National Government.

Those who were born in Huangpu will still faithfully carry out the orders of their superiors.

What's more, this is a battle to defend the nation's dignity and national sovereignty.

In the face of the righteousness of national survival, any patriotic soldier with some conscience will not be a deserter.

Therefore, at this juncture, it is useless to say more.

Moreover, Xu Qingfeng understands that now is not the best time to evacuate.

Because at this time, all the main units of the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army were still on the Songhu battlefield.

If you want to break through, you have to wait for the main force of the Japanese army to follow and pursue the national army and march towards Nanjing.

It would be much easier to break through at that time.

……

3rd Division Advance Command.

At this time, the main forces of the national army had already begun to retreat.

Several main regiments of the 3rd Division are making great strides.

The 3rd Division, as the Central China Japanese Army, was the first batch of main reinforcements to land on the Songhu battlefield.

It has been fighting with hundreds of thousands of national troops for nearly three months, although it has achieved good results.

But his own loss is not small, and he is very tired and needs a rest.

Therefore, according to the command of the dispatched army such as Matsui Iwane, the 3rd Division and the 9th Division will not participate in the pursuit of Suzhou, Kunshan and Hangzhou.

Instead, he was responsible for occupying and consolidating the Songhu area.

Under this circumstance, after the main force of the 3rd Division reached the Qingpu area, it quickly stopped, turned and began to advance towards the city.

In this way, both the 3rd Division and the 9th Division will serve as the first batch of occupying troops, and occupy the urban area of ​​SH as victors.

Therefore, in the forward headquarters, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, who commanded the entire division to fight, was then the head of the 3rd Division.

He was in such a good mood at the moment that he even asked his adjutant to bring him two bottles of sake and open some cans of beef.

I plan to have a couple of drinks to celebrate.

Just when Susumu Fujita had just raised his glass, he hadn't had time to drink it.

Suddenly there was a burst of rapid and panicked footsteps outside the headquarters, and Susumu Fujita turned his head to look at the sound in confusion.

I saw a communications major rushing in from the outside in a hurry.

The 3rd Division's confidential communications room and Susumu Fujita's combat command room were not located in the same room.

The communications major came straight to Fujita Jin, and hurriedly put his feet back and stood up to salute: "Your Excellency, we just got the news.

The 6th Infantry Regiment failed to attack the Sihang Warehouse, and the commander of the regiment, Colonel Kuronaga Tatsuji, was killed!

Now the entire 6th Infantry Regiment is severely damaged and in urgent need of urgent tactical guidance and support! "

"Nani?" Fujita Jin was shocked when he heard the words, he stood up in disbelief and asked, "What did you say? Chief Cang Yong was killed?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, General." The communications major hurriedly lowered his head and said, "General Cang Yong Chenzhi was commanding the attack, but was sniped and killed by a sniper from the warehouse defenders, and was killed on the spot!"

"Bagaya Road!" Fujita Jin was furious, and pushed the wine glass in his hand, together with the wine and canned beef on the table in front of him, to the ground.

"How on earth is this trash commanded? An entire regiment can't even take down a mere warehouse?"

Seeing this, Tian Jiulixiong, the chief of staff next to him, asked the communications major: "What happened? According to intelligence, there are less than half a regiment of Chinese defenders in the Sixing Warehouse.

The 6th Wing has an advantage in all aspects, how could it be like this? "

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, although the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse do not have an advantage in strength, the imperial army cannot use heavy firepower to attack.

This virtually greatly increased the difficulty of the imperial army's attack, and the entire warehouse was made of reinforced concrete and was very solid.

In addition, the warehouse defenders were reinforced by Xu Qingfeng's troops.

The combat effectiveness of this unit is far stronger than that of other Chinese armies. Under various unfavorable factors, the 6th Wing attacked many times but failed to succeed. "

As he spoke, he handed a telegram document in his hand to Toshio Takuri with both hands: "Here is the battle report of the 6th Regiment, which contains a detailed report of the battle situation."

Tajurio took the document with a solemn expression and read it hastily.

Immediately he said to the livid Fujita at the side: "General, the 6th Regiment is now seriously injured and the situation is very dangerous.

We must rush to help immediately, otherwise if the warehouse defenders rush out, the consequences will be disastrous. "

Susumu Fujita snorted coldly and said: "Order the 5th Brigade to stop advancing immediately and return to support the 6th Regiment.

Tell Mr. Katayama that from now on, he will be responsible for commanding the attack on Sihang Warehouse.

Order him to capture the Sihang Warehouse as soon as possible, and never let such a small place become a shame to our 3rd Division, or even the entire dispatched army! "

Fujita Jin was really angry, seeing that the imperial army was about to enter the urban area and occupy the entire Songhu area.

His own troops couldn't even take down a mere warehouse, and they were severely beaten, and even the commander was killed.

If this spreads out, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
