Yu Zhiqian looked at the Japanese who were receding like a tide, put away his weapon, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and lit it gently: "Lao Xie counts the casualties!" ”

"Good!"

The casualties caused by the Japanese attack to the defenders of the Sixing warehouse were not very serious, only when the Japanese snipers appeared, many soldiers were injured, and the Japanese troops attacking from the ground, as well as tanks, brought almost zero casualties to the defenders.

Seeing this, many people think that this is a divine drama? Little devils are so useless? Combat effectiveness is so poor? In fact, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers is not weak, but it depends on when, if the 524th Regiment is now placed in the position outside, there is no strong building of the warehouse to hold, and it is very easy for the Japanese to eat them.

The Sixing warehouse is built like a fortress, very strong, even the devil's aerial bombs, it is difficult to blow through, not to mention the devil's small-caliber three artillery, grenadiers, mortars, the biggest gap between the Chinese army and the Japanese army lies in the equipment gap between the two sides, and the biggest gap in this equipment gap is the firepower gap.

The firepower possessed by a wing or even a brigade of the devils can catch up with a division of the Chinese army, and some local armies with poor equipment are not too much, and the Japanese rely on these advantages to show off their might on the Chinese battlefield.

Before the war, the Japanese used artillery fire to plough one side, and the Japanese said that it was called intensive bombing, but after the Japanese experienced the intensive bombing of Lao Maozi in Nomenkan, they saw what it was called intensive bombing.

After the bombing, the Japanese will immediately launch a decisive charge, that is, the tactics of the sea of people, because the Japanese soldiers have been brainwashed, basically will not be afraid of death, so when they charge, they are charged with the determination to die, and when they encounter a slightly timid Chinese army, they will be like hungry wolves to bite to death.

If the two tactics have not yet taken the position, the last axe is to concentrate the superior forces, open a gap, and then encroach on both sides, this tactic is actually very easy to crack, but the premise is that you have enough equipment, after the little devil meets Lao Maozi, it will be useless immediately, and hundreds of thousands of troops will obediently stay in the northeast and dare not move.

And now in the defense battle of the Sixing warehouse, the Japanese superior tactics are basically useless, the proud artillery advantage disappears, and it can't be played at all, and the rest is to charge, but the sky is not beautiful, and the ground is muddy, so that the speed of the Japanese when they charge cannot be raised at all, and they can only go forward in the muddy ground one deep and one shallow, and use the Chinese army as a target.

The Japanese soldiers have good marksmanship, and their accuracy is very high within one or two hundred meters, but the defenders of the four lines of warehouses, each of them is very shrewd, and everyone in the defensive position is only responsible for their own area, blocking most of the area with sandbags, leaving only a small space for shooting at the enemy in front of them, and the area where the devil can attack is very small, only the middle one is not a big slit.

The bullets hit the window around, but it was very difficult to hit the defenders behind the sandbags, and in history the defenders lost a few people, wounded more than 20 people, and the Japanese were killed more than 200 people, and countless wounded.

And now Yu Zhiqian has increased the number of Japanese casualties, and the two wings are half disabled, which is unacceptable for the Japanese, and if this kind of casualties are acceptable on a large battlefield, just hitting a warehouse guarded by 800 people, the Japanese feel that they have lost face.

Not only that, Yu Zhiqian's side also continued to broadcast his results through the radio, although the Japanese vigorously denied it, saying that these were the achievements boasted by the Chinese army, but the battlefield has been mixed with Shanghai citizens, military attaches of various countries, and some reporters, and the casualties of the Japanese, they have no way to make specific statistics, but a rough figure can still be converted.

"Yes, the devil has retreated again!" After finishing his work, Xie Jinyuan also sat very tired next to Yu Zhiqian, the two leaned against the wall and smoked, did not speak, now they are really a little tired, but there is no way, ordinary soldiers can rest, but the two of them are the chief officers, but they can't rest, stay awake at any time, in order to deal with emergencies.

"Sir, take a break, I'll take a look!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he nodded: "I'll rest for a while, call me if there is any situation!" ”

"Roger!"

Yu Zhiqian leaned against the wall, curled up, slowly closed his eyes, and was wet, but there was no way to care about this now, as long as he could have a place to rest, it would be good.

When Yu Zhiqian opened his eyes again, the time had already come to noon, and there was still a lunch beside him, and Xie Jinyuan and a few staff officers were discussing things not far away.

"How's it going? The devils didn't attack, did they? ”

"Sir, no, it's been four hours since the devil retreated, and there hasn't been any movement!"

"Huh? Odd! Yu Zhiqian got up from the ground, put a piece of hard steamed bun into his mouth, took out the binoculars, and looked into the distance, the rain outside had stopped, and as far as the eye could see, except for the corpses of the Japanese, there was no trace of the activities of the Japanese soldiers.

"We're also acting strangely, we don't know what the devils are doing!" In front of Xie Jinyuan was a topographic map of the surrounding four rows of warehouses, marking many locations, and there was also a structural map of the four rows of warehouses next to it.

Yu Zhiqian carefully looked at the topographical map around the warehouse, there is no problem, if the devil wants to attack, there is only one way to attack from the front, the kind of thing that attacked from behind last night, it has some effect if it is used once, but it is used for the second time, that is, to send him to death.

"No matter what the Japanese do, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we just need to be ourselves now!"

Yu Zhiqian also agreed with Staff Officer Liu's proposal, while slowly tearing off the steamed buns, putting them in his mouth and chewing them slowly, while looking at what the Japanese might want to do, after closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Yu Zhiqian suddenly thought of a possibility.

"NI says, is Japan ready to trap us?"

"Trapped?"

Yu Zhiqian nodded: "The devils can't attack for a long time, we are a cowhide fresh for them, if we get rid of us, we will definitely not be willing to pay a huge price, so they may use the trapping method, the Sixing warehouse is only so big, we have rations, ammunition is so much, the Japanese just want to drag us, see if we can't hold on and rush out, that's their chance!" ”

After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Xie Jinyuan laughed: "That devil is too naïve, we still have half a month's food, save some food, a month is enough, we are not short of food, the devil wants to consume with us, we will consume it with him!" ”

"This is just my speculation, maybe the devil has other plans!"

Yu Zhiqian was not sure what the Japanese wanted to do, but it was certain that the Japanese were not at ease, but in the words of Staff Officer Liu before, the soldiers would block it, and the water would cover it.

I don't know what the Japanese are doing on the side of the Sixing warehouse, and Sanbei's waist and the ground have become at an angle of 90 degrees, and this posture has been maintained for more than a minute, and Sanbei feels that this waist is no longer his own.

"Didn't you take it? What's with! ”

Ito Masaki sat in his place and looked at the Sanbei in front of him, Sanbei was a subordinate he liked more, and he also had great expectations for him, but he didn't expect that this time such a simple task, Ito Masaki actually didn't complete it.

He was angry, but Ito held back and didn't get angry, but wanted to hear his men explain how this Chinese defender was different from the defenders he had encountered before.

"Your Excellency General, this Chinese army is strong in combat, I have never seen it since I entered China, they cooperate closely with each other, which is also something I have never seen, among them there are a group of sharpshooters with very good marksmanship, or snipers are more appropriate, our officers, as well as sharpshooters, machine gunners were sent out, they were all shot and killed by them quickly!"

"Without the command of the officers, the main attack troops we sent out will be broken by them one by one due to the lack of command and cooperation, and the lack of firepower to suppress them, our soldiers are charging against the bullets of the Chinese army, and the casualties are very large!"

Ito Masaki still closed his eyes, holding his saber in both hands, he didn't know what to think in his mind, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Then now your wing should not attack for the time being, repair in situ, and after the general's dinner tonight, use special ammunition to take down the four lines of warehouses!" ”

"Hayi!"

"Stand down!"

"Hayi!"

Sanbei kept hunched his waist until he walked out of Ito Masaki's headquarters, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, he thought that he was going to cut his stomach, but now it seems that he doesn't need it, at least not for the time being!

After Sanbei left, a major general beside him frowned: "Your Excellency General, Sanbei is just evading responsibility, I think he should be allowed to commit suicide!" ”

The major general was a radical who believed that the Japanese army was invincible and could not accept such a defeat.

Ito Masaki glanced at him: "If you think you can take down the Sixing warehouse, I can transfer a wing of troops to you, if you can't take it, you commit suicide, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, the major general immediately closed his mouth, and Ito Masaki slowly stood up from his position: "I have also carefully observed this Chinese army, they occupy such a natural danger as the Sixing warehouse, and it does take time to take it, we are too anxious!" ”

"And what about the Commander?"

"I'll explain over there!"

After Ito Masakaki finished speaking, he got up and left the headquarters and went to Matsui Ishine's command post, which was also the former Japanese consulate in China, and now has become the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army.

Matsui Ishine is dealing with documents, Shanghai is not so easy to occupy, after the occupation of Shanghai, unlike the occupation of the rest of the place, Shanghai has many countries leased, and the population is large, the Japanese want to completely dominate Shanghai, it will take a long way, now the main problem is how to reconcile the relationship between Japan and various countries.

The Japanese occupation of Shanghai must have violated the interests of various countries in Shanghai, although Japan has withdrawn from the League of Nations, but still does not dare to offend everyone to death, such as the United States, Britain These countries, once they embargo Japan, the Japanese will be unlucky.

Rubbing his temples, he slowly raised his head, and saw Ito Masaki standing not far away, first stunned, and then pointed to the stool next to him: "Ito-kun, why didn't you say a word when you came, what are you doing standing here?" ”

Ito Masaki immediately bowed: "Your Excellency Commander, I'm here to confess!" ”

"Huh? Haven't the four lines of warehouses been taken down yet? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the 101st Wing of our department fought fiercely with the defenders of the Chinese Sixing Warehouse all night, and failed to take the Sixing Warehouse, and suffered heavy casualties!"

If it were now a wing captain in front of Matsui Ishine, Matsui Ishine might be furious, or directly throw a knife for seppuku and let him commit suicide by seppuku, but Ito Masaki can't, the two are friends, and Ito Masaki's father is also a character, not surprisingly, Ito Masakaki came to the Chinese battlefield to gild, and he will go to the army headquarters in the future.

Matsui Ishine is considered a person who can mix in his position, and there is no one who is not shrewd, and after thinking for a while: "Didn't you capture a single wing?" ”

"Yes, and the loss of almost two thousand people!"

After hearing this number, Matsui Shigen was a little uneasy, he had already sacrificed about 1,000 people before, and now with the 101 Wing, it is close to 3,000 people, and it is about to reach the size of a wing, and the other party only has a few hundred people, even if they are all eaten, this battle loss ratio is also very amazing.

"What is the reason?"

"I summed it up, the warehouse of the first four lines is very strong, it was originally used as a bank vault, ordinary artillery can't blow up the warehouse at all, mountain artillery hits it, only a layer of mud can fall, only aerial bombs can blow through!"

"Second, the 524th Regiment of the Eighty-eighth Division stationed in the Sixing Warehouse is the elite of the Chinese army, they are very different from the Chinese army that we have encountered before and collapsed with one blow, the combat effectiveness is strong, and the tacit cooperation is something I have never encountered before, we attacked several times at the beginning, but we failed to take the warehouse!"

"Third, the commander, their commander Xie Jinyuan is a very clever person, yesterday's attack, the battle was hot, he did not expose the existence of artillery, this morning's attack, we suddenly encountered the shelling of the Chinese army, heavy losses, our tank troops, before approaching the four lines of warehouses were blown up by them, blocked in the middle of the road can not advance or retreat, and finally was destroyed by the Chinese army with mountain artillery, grenadiers, thirty combat vehicles, only one remains!"
