It turned out that after the dormitory area was attacked, someone went to Yang Yuxin's house to ask Yang Yuxin to come forward to preside over the overall situation, but there was no response to the knock on the door, and he didn't know that Yang Yuxin was not at home, so he had to do it.

Later, the troops guarding the dormitory area arrived, defeated the enemy attacking the dormitory area, stabilized the situation, and invited several officials from the Shanghai New Area to preside over the overall situation. When there was no response to the knock on the door for a long time, several officials took the lead and broke down the door, only to find that Yang Yuxin's family was unconscious. At this time, the administrative district came to inquire about Yang Yuxin, so several officials hurriedly reported to the administrative district.

After getting the news, Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao's good mood suddenly came to naught, and the two never thought that there would be an attack in the dormitory area, and it was the leader of the Shanghai New Area who was attacked. If Yang Yuxin had an accident, then the responsibility of the working group would be considerable.

Although judging from the current news, Yang Yuxin is not in danger, but the two of them cannot be completely at ease, because the attack occurred in the dormitory area, and Yang Yuxin's family was attacked, indicating that hostile people have mixed into the dormitory area, and it is difficult to guarantee that other people will be attacked, most of the people living in the dormitory area are traversers or family members, no matter who is injured, the Ministry of Security is to blame. Therefore, at this time, someone should immediately rush to the dormitory area to preside over the overall situation, but now although the situation in the Shanghai New Area is basically controlled, the chaos has not completely subsided, and someone needs to be in charge of the administrative area.

In the end, it could only be decided that Jiang Shiwei would officially appear and go to the dormitory area to preside over the overall situation.

The house where Ma Ruicheng and others were located was on the edge of the Shanghai New District, so the troops stationed there had not yet arrived. However, at this time, Ma Ruicheng had already received the news of the failure of the attack on the administrative area and the dormitory area, and the other 5 teams were all lost, but it is estimated that they are also more than lucky. But more than 10 people gathered around Ma Ruicheng, all of whom fled here to join Ma Ruicheng after the failure of attacking the administrative area and dormitory area.

And there was no news of the attack on the periphery, just half an hour ago, there was a dense gunfire in the direction of the intersection, obviously the battle was fierce, Ma Ruicheng and others were also quite excited, looking forward to the periphery personnel entering the Shanghai New District. But then the gunfire gradually subsided, and now it is almost inaudible, and Ma Ruicheng and others also know that the attack on the periphery is a failure nine times out of ten.

At this time, someone asked Ma Ruicheng: "Team leader, what should we do now?"

Ma Ruicheng smiled bitterly in his heart, to be honest, he doesn't know what to do now, the failure of the peripheral attack means that tonight's operation has completely failed, and his own people are estimated to be unable to escape the net of overseas Chinese, and the end is either killed in battle or captured, at most only a few people may escape by luck.

But this can't be said here, and Ma Ruicheng can't help but speak, so he said: "Everyone, tonight's operation is almost here, we have done our best, and caused considerable damage to the Shanghai New Area, but whether it is a success, I don't know, because I don't know how much damage we have caused to the Shanghai New Area." After a pause, Ma Ruicheng said again: "As for our next step, frankly speaking, we have no way out, either we rush out now, fight to the death with overseas Chinese, and add some damage to the Shanghai New Area, we now have more than a dozen people, and two boxes* Either we can hide here and don't go out, which can ensure temporary safety, but after the overseas Chinese stabilize the situation in the Shanghai New Area, we will definitely conduct a large-scale search in the Shanghai New Area, so we will definitely not be able to hide from it. ”

Liu Binggong said: "Team leader, what are you going to do?"

Ma Ruicheng said: "Anyway, the left and right are dead, when I took over this task, I had already put life and death aside, and I was ready to be loyal to the imperial country at any time, as for what to plan, it depends on how everyone decides." ”

When everyone heard this, there was a silence for a while, and after a while, there was a human: "Since it is death on the left and right, it is better to rush out and rush, at least we can kill before we die, and it can be regarded as our loyalty to the imperial country." ”

His proposal was immediately echoed by several people, while others did not agree, but they did not speak out against it. Seeing this, Ma Ruicheng also nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone has decided to go out and fight with overseas Chinese, then let's give overseas Chinese the final blow." ”

As he spoke, Ma Ruicheng pulled out two boxes from under the table, both of which were contained*, one box contained 100 bottles, while the others were in high spirits and immediately lifted the boxes and walked out of the house. At this time, sporadic gunfire in the Shanghai New Area was still heard.

Ma Ruicheng took out a * from the box, lit the strip of cloth on the mouth of the bottle, and said, "Gentlemen, this is our last battle, so start here......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone shouting, "Who are you and what are you doing on the street at this time?" I saw that at the corner of the street in front of me, a people's army came out.

It turned out that the People's Army, which was in charge of garrisoning this area, finally arrived, and when they saw such a group of people gathering in the street at this time, there was no reason to ask.

When Ma Ruicheng saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he wanted to throw * on the house, but immediately turned to the People's Army and threw it over. When the others saw this, they all picked it up and threw it at the KPA. But in return to them was the shooting of the KPA.

"Team Leader Miyamoto, Team Leader Nakamura, I really don't have the face to come to see you. ”

"Kawashima-kun, you have done your best, and it is not your responsibility not to attack the Shanghai New Area, so you don't have to blame yourself. ”

"Yes, Kawashima-kun, don't think about it, let's rest first, there are more important things waiting for you to do in the future?"

It turned out that the attack on the Shanghai New Area failed, and the more than 300 people recruited by Prince Su Shanqi were less than 1 0 00 people, and all of them were scattered, and less than 30 Japanese soldiers were left who had been discharged.

Kawashima Naniwa was evacuated from the battlefield by the veterans, and he could only go to the Japanese consulate in the public concession to meet Miyamoto and Nakamura and report to them about the entire battle.

In fact, such a big thing happened in the Shanghai New Area tonight, causing such a big movement, whether it was the public concession, the French concession, and the old city of Shanghai, they were all alarmed. Of course, the Public Concession, the French Concession, and the Shanghai Daotai all knew that Japan intended to launch an attack on the Shanghai New Area, but of course the Shanghai Daotai did not know that the whole incident was planned by Japan, and thought that it was led by Prince Su Shanqi.

In addition, Japan also communicated with the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession and the French Concession through diplomatic channels, hoping to attack the Shanghai New Area by taking advantage of the intersection of the Public Concession and the French Concession. However, it was solemnly rejected by the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession and the French Concession, saying that the Public Concession and the French Concession remained neutral and would not take sides of either side, but that Japan would never be allowed to attack the Shanghai New Area by taking advantage of the area of the Public Concession and the French Concession.

In fact, the public concession and the French concession are secretly supporting Japan, but they can't do it too obviously, if Japan is allowed to attack the Shanghai New Area from the public concession and the French concession, it will not only tear its face with the East China government, but also form a big enmity, the East China government is not as easy to talk as the Qing court, and it will definitely retaliate against the public concession and the French concession, and neither the public concession nor the French concession will want to wade into this muddy water.

However, although the Public Concession and the French Concession did not allow Japan to attack the Shanghai New Area by means of the route, they still provided Japan with a lot of convenient conditions, such as the more than 70 Japanese veterans and weapons that had always been in the Public Concession, and the Japanese Consulate in the Public Concession became the general command center for this operation. At the same time, it also put pressure on the Shanghai Provincial Platform to prevent the Shanghai Provincial Platform from interfering in Japan's actions.

After Kawashima Naniwa was sent down to rest, Miyamoto said, "Nakamura-kun, did we fail this operation?"

Nakamura nodded and said, "I think so, although I don't know the situation inside the Shanghai New Area, but with the control of overseas Chinese and our personnel in the Shanghai New Area, I am afraid it will be difficult to cause major damage to the Shanghai New Area that is enough to prevent or delay their participation in the war. And once the overseas Chinese army enters the war, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to us, and Japan is afraid that it will lose this war. ”

Miyamoto said: "What if we at this time immediately and without any conditions to cease war with Russia? ”

Nakamura shook his head and said: "It's useless, there is no turning back from the bow, now this war can't stop at all, and even if we stop the war regardless of any conditions, it is impossible to talk about it in a few days, now I only hope that Japan can lose a little better and retain a little vitality." ”

Miyamoto smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that we had accumulated 5 years of resources, and all of them were invested in it, and we still got such a result." ”

Nakamura said: "That's also a matter of no way, we have accumulated 5 years, they have also accumulated 5 years, and their foundation is far better than ours, they are a fleet, there are a large number of weapons and equipment, the number of people is 5 or 6 thousand, and we only have a few people, one poor and two white, the difference in strength is too great, just look at how great they have achieved in the past five years, they have basically established a modern country, and we are only middle and lower level officials in Japan, this is the gap." Moreover, after this time, overseas Chinese will definitely find out about our existence, and I am afraid that they will take precautions against us. ”

Miyamoto said: "What should we do? Aren't we completely lost, and Japan will never have a chance to rise?"

Nakamura shook his head and said, "There must be a chance, but I want to rush back to Japan immediately to meet Ito Hirobumi, hoping that through his influence, Japan will reduce its losses, and then find a way to contain overseas Chinese." ”

Miyamoto nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Nakamura added: "I suggest that you also leave China as soon as possible, although we are in the public concession and can guarantee safety, but our opponent is overseas Chinese, there is no absolute security, so you should return to Japan as soon as possible to ensure safety." ”
