Start with Four Lines Warehouse

Chapter 4

After coming out of the room, Ma Chao inspected again, and after seeing that everything was going according to plan, he returned to the office on the fourth floor.

He recalled that in the original time and space, the "eight hundred strong men" in the Sixing Warehouse, with complete fortifications and sufficient ammunition, defended for four days before being ordered by Principal Jiang evacuated.

It is estimated that if Xie Jinyuan and the others disobeyed, the little devil would need a good tooth to chew down the four-row warehouse.

At this time, the autumn rain outside the window has gradually diminished.Hearing the intermittent gunfire from a distance, he fell asleep with his clothes on, ready to deal with the war two hours later.

At this time, in the Japanese headquarters, General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Japanese dispatched army in Shanghai, was listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Your Excellency, Commander, at present our army has completely captured all areas of Shanghai except the concession. At present, our third, ninth, No.11, No.13, No.16, 18st Division and No. The Tenth Army includes the Sixth, No.48, and [-]th Divisions, as well as the Guozaki Detachment dispatched from the North China Fifth Division and the Chongteng Detachment that originally belonged to the Taiwan Garrison. They are cleaning up the remaining Chinese soldiers in the city. It can be cleaned up after [-] hours."

"In addition, the warships of the Navy's Third Fleet and Fourth Fleet are moored in the open sea. In addition to the "Ryujo" aircraft carrier and the Fourth Air Force, the "Kaga", "Hosho", and "Akagi" aircraft carriers and the No. An aviation team can support the next step of the battle plan at any time. The "Ryujo" aircraft carrier is currently arriving at the Sasebo Shipyard in Japan for repair work. The commander of the navy, His Excellency Nagano Osumori, has sent a telegram to ask your Excellency for the aircraft carrier to be intercepted. Explain about the bombing."

"Finally, there is an unconfirmed piece of news that Major Nitaro is missing."

Matsui Ishimoto was originally drinking tea and listening to the report with a calm expression, but after hearing that Nintaro disappeared, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"As for the disappearance of Major Nitaro, it is enough to order the troops to search normally. I guess I have gone to find a place to be lazy again."

"Reply to those damned boatmen: The attack on the aircraft carrier "Ryujō" was all due to its commander's adversity and rivalry. Please, Your Excellency Nagano Shoushen, explain to the commander that he did not obey military orders!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!"

After receiving the reply, the Japanese staff officer turned and left to call back the navy.

And Matsui Iwane looked at the gradually thinning autumn rain outside, took a sip from his teacup.secretly pondering.

"When it's dawn, it's time to announce to the outside world that our Imperial Japanese Army has occupied Shanghai. After that, Nanjing will be in the empire's pocket."

"Also, regarding Nintaro, after completely occupying Shanghai, send him back to China. I really don't know, what a good son of the royal family, why would he come to China for nothing? It's just causing me trouble. It's really a headache."

At this time, he still doesn't know that Rentaro has returned to Amaterasu, and his military career is coming to an end, and the only thing he returns to Japan is the notice of his death.Even his saber will be displayed in the museum to prove the achievements of the Chinese defenders!
The cold autumn rain gradually stopped at dawn.Maybe it's because the heavens couldn't bear to see the cruelty of the battlefield, so that the earth was covered with a mist that seemed unreal, so as to cover up the unspeakable crimes.

The cheers and footsteps of the Japanese army came from the mist in the direction of Zhabei.From farther away, there was an intermittent "pop" sound, which is the unique sound of the little devil's three-eighth big cover.

At this time, Ma Chao and Xie Jinyuan were standing on the roof of the Sixing Warehouse, looking north with a telescope.Looking at the looming ghosts, escorting the crying civilians and the scarred national army prisoners of war, their feelings are self-evident.The hand holding the binoculars has bruised veins due to excessive force.

Ma Chao has never experienced such a scene, and what he has experienced before is nothing more than domestic anti-terrorism or small-scale rebellions in border areas.But this kind of war of destroying the country, he had only learned about it in books before and saw it in videos.However, no matter how much you learn in books, it is like corpses strewn across fields, blood flowing into rivers and scenes seen from that small screen.For Ma Chao, the shock brought him was not as great as the feeling brought by these short few minutes.

Last night, the autumn rain was pouring, and it was dark and dull.Therefore, many crimes are shrouded in the night.

However, at this time, the sky was slightly bright, and through the small lens of the telescope, Ma Chao could only see broken bricks and tiles stretching to the horizon, and corpses in different postures laying down on the road, in the ruins, in the river ditches, in all of you. Where to see!
Behind him, the concession that had been noisy all night has fallen silent.Except for the cleaners and those serving breakfast, there were no other people on the main street, but under the eaves of some alleys, the bridge openings were crowded with refugees who had fled in.Except for the children, the people were unkempt, and there was no trace of hope on their numb faces, as if, this was just a breathing body, and their souls had died.

"Get ready." Xie Jinyuan said softly.

"En." Ma Chao responded, turned and went downstairs.

After passing through the streets full of booby traps, Ma Chao came to the ambush position on the third floor of the Bank of Communications. After waving to Xie Jinyuan who was still on the roof, he focused his energy on the north and waited quietly.

Takahashi Zuobei is a military officer from Nagoya, commanding twelve soldiers from his hometown to search Manchuria Road.The purpose is to open the way to the concession and clear the Chinese soldiers.

For Takahashi Zuobei, this is a fat job.When searching, he can sneak some "yellow" metal garbage that the Chinese don't want into his bag.Of course, after returning to the barracks, he also needs to distribute part of it to his superiors as a reward for this fat job.

Squad leader Takahashi Zuobei walked on the road with a look of inspection. He believed that under the powerful attack of the third division of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Chinese defenders had been defeated.Therefore, visiting this land as a victor is the honor he deserves.until.
"Crack!" "Ah!!!!" Sabei Takahashi, who was complacent, heard a gunshot, and without thinking about it, made a movement of a vicious dog rushing towards the dead corner of the wall.

After waiting for a while, after confirming that there was no danger, I carefully poked my head out to observe the surroundings.The screaming soldier had already been dragged back.Watching him disappear half of the sole of the foot.He let out a long breath.Takahashi Sahei knew this wounded soldier, and was very familiar with him, because he was Aokiura from the same village as Takahashi Sahei.

The 3rd Division is one of the divisions of the Japanese Army.The Third Division, also known as the Nagoya Division, was organized in Nagoya.The predecessor of the Third Division was Nagoya Town, which was established in January of the sixth year of Meiji (1873). In the 1st year of Meiji (21), the Japanese government reformed the national military system. The Third Division, as far as the modern Japanese military history is concerned, the Third Division is also one of the earliest new-style armies among the more than 1888 divisions in Japan; the Third Division participated in almost all major modern Japanese wars, including the Sino-Japanese War War, the Russo-Japanese War, sending troops to Siberia, sending troops to Shandong, etc.It is the only Class A division that has been fighting in the Chinese battlefield from the start of the war to its surrender.

After pressing the wound with a tampon, Takahashi Zuobing ordered someone to carry Aokipo down for treatment.Looking at the place where Aokipu was injured just now, apart from the debris on Aokipu's sole, there is no other place worthy of his vigilance.

Therefore, Takahashi Zuobei waved his hand to signal the team to move on. After all, anything can happen on the battlefield, isn't it? It's not worth making a fuss about.Of course, no one knows what this unlucky Aokipu thinks.

Ma Chao nestled under a window facing the street on the third floor, with his back against the wall, observing every move of Takahashi Zuohei and his group through the mirror on the side wall, holding guns in both hands, watching them slowly walk into the preset In the battlefield.

"Bang bang" "bang bang" "bang bang" Ma Chao's heartbeat became more and more violent, and the sweat from the nervousness slowly rolled down his cheeks until...
"Boom!!!" "Hit!" The booby-trapped mines composed of seven grenades roared.Ma Chao roared loudly, and the sound of guns burst out in unison in an instant.

Takahashi Zuohei was recalling what he had gained yesterday, and suddenly he felt a gust of hot air coming towards him, pushing him far away, and fell heavily to the ground.

Takahashi Zuohei ignored the severe pain in his body and scrambled to hide behind an abandoned car.

Lei Xiong saw that the little devil reacted exactly as Ma Chao expected, and excitedly wanted to stand up and shout twice to relieve him.But rationality still firmly held him in the ambush position.According to Ma Chao's explanation in advance, he poured bullets at the little devils hiding downstairs opposite him, and drove them to the minefield.

At this time, there were only three people left in the 12-member team, including Takahashi Zuobei.They curled up in a blind corner, buried their heads deeply on the ground, and their faces looked terrified, fearing that if they raised their heads, they would be sent back to their hometown to see Amaterasu by the howling bullets above their heads.

Ma Chao stopped shooting after firing a clip of bullets.Seeing where the three little devils were hiding, he waved at Lei Xiong.

After seeing Ma Chao's signal, Lei Xiong immediately picked up a rope beside him and pulled it down fiercely.

The three Zuobei Takahashi heard that the machine gun stopped ringing, they looked at each other, and couldn't care less about being thankful that they survived.Just as he was about to turn his head and run away, he heard a crisp snapping sound.

After hearing this voice, he didn't care how safe his position was, so he ran two steps and fell to the ground.The moment Takahashi Zuohei fell down, he felt as if he had been shocked by electricity twice, and all the strength in his body was drained like a tide.Exhausting all the strength in his body, he turned over and saw a large amount of blood oozing from his chest and lower abdomen.Looking aside, seeing the small crater on the ground blasted by bullets, he muttered inaudibly: "Despicable Chinese!" Then he fell silent.

His ability to choose where to fall needs to be improved, otherwise he wouldn't have landed right on the two bullets and booby traps.

Xie Jinyuan, Yang Ruifu, Shangguan Zhibiao and others stood on the roof of the Sixing Warehouse, and they could clearly see this too small ambush.

"Now, do you still have any objections to my order?" Xie Jinyuan, holding a telescope, asked the crowd coldly.

Shangguan Zhibiao and others looked at each other, but no one answered, and an awkward atmosphere spread in the air.

"Go and prepare some food and drink to welcome them back. I also thank them for typing this beautiful beginning!"

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed, and Xie Jinyuan was the only one left on the rooftop looking at the people cleaning the battlefield below.

The south bank of the Suzhou River may have been awakened by the sound of guns just now, and there was a lot of people! ——
