Chapter 385: Seppuku
"Pull!"
Yu Zhiqian gave an order, and all the defending soldiers on the second floor did not hesitate to pull down the grenade safety tab, and some soldiers were still a little nervous.
"Two!"
When Yu Zhiqian said two, two soldiers were very nervous and threw them out directly, but Yu Zhiqian did not stop him, and after waiting for about a second, he shouted again: "One!" Lose! ”
As he spoke, the soldiers who had not yet thrown their grenades all threw their grenades out of the windows in unison, and dozens of grenades fell from the windows on the second and third floors.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……”
The Japanese soldiers standing against the wall downstairs were unable to advance or retreat, constantly trying to find a way to rush in, but every Japanese soldier who rushed in over the wall was killed, and none of them survived, and now the courage of the Japanese soldiers has been worn out, and now most of the soldiers are waiting to be able to retreat.
Immediately after a few grenades fell from the upper floor, several Japanese soldiers who were relatively close were startled and took a few steps back to avoid the explosion range of the grenades, but before they could go far, dozens of grenades fell from the roof like rain, covering the entire area downstairs.
"Grenade!" A military grenade fell on his head, and he reached out to catch it, but when he saw the thing in his hand, he immediately screamed in horror, but the time left was only enough for him to call a grenade, followed by a series of explosions.
What is the effect of dozens of grenades scattered over an area, and an explosion occurs almost at the same time? If it's at night, looking down from the sky, you feel like you're watching a fireworks, which are extremely beautiful, with dozens of fireworks blooming at the same time.
But it was daytime, and there was still some time before it got dark, and the Japanese at the center of the explosion did not think so, and at the moment of the explosion, the explosion swallowed up all the Japanese around at least a hundred people around, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers were killed before they even reacted.
There is also a part because someone blocked part of the power of the explosion, but has been injured, arms, legs, chest and other positions have been more or less hit by grenade shrapnel, these people lie on the ground and keep wailing, but waiting for them is not reinforcements, but another round of grenade bombardment.
After the two rounds of grenade bombardment, almost all the Japanese soldiers close to the building were cleared, and in the distance of the battlefield, on a tall building, a group of people were observing the situation on the battlefield.
Several young people are holding loudspeakers made of their own iron sheets, and they are broadcasting live.
"The Chinese army has counterattacked, the Japanese are hiding under the Sixing warehouse and shivering, the Japanese are trying to find a way to enter the Sixing warehouse, and there are already more than a dozen Japanese who have entered the Sixing warehouse!"
When he said this, there was a nervousness in the hearts of the people who listened to their speeches, there were only these few young people around them, constantly carrying out live broadcasts, and more people could only stare dryly, because the distance was a little far, they couldn't see what was happening in the Sixing warehouse at all, and they could only see the blue sky and white sun flag fluttering in the air, which meant that there were still Chinese troops resisting there.
The sun began to set in the west, and the day of October 26 slowly passed, but more and more people gathered here, all staring at the blue sky and white sun flag that kept fluttering in the distance, as long as they knew that China had not failed.
"The defenders in the Sixing warehouse threw a lot of things from the upper floor, they were too small to see clearly, but it should be a grenade, it was a grenade, the grenade exploded, the Japanese hiding around the warehouse were unlucky, the grenade exploded violently, and the Japanese fell in pieces!"
"Long live China!"
"Long live China!"
The people around shouted excitedly, the news that the Japanese had been killed by the bomb spread word of mouth, and the last group of people screamed excitedly, and even the people in the Sixing warehouse could hear the sound of support in the distance through the explosion.
The Japanese also heard it, and soon a team of Japanese came downstairs and began to disperse the crowd, which was the earliest live broadcast and was forced to interrupt, but soon, this group of people found a new place to conduct another live broadcast, and reported the battle situation of the Sixing warehouse to the whole of Shanghai.
After the two rounds of explosions, the Japanese suffered at least more than 200 casualties, and this number has exceeded the results of four days and four nights in the history of the Sixing warehouse.
First of all, Dai Qiang killed Kudanwaraji, which made the Japanese command behind the back now in chaos, and was searching for Chinese soldiers who might be hiding around to prevent someone from sneaking up on them, and some officers of a brigade on the front line were also killed, and Jun Cao did not dare to give the order to retreat, this brigade, in the case of an unfavorable attack, could only continue to attack.
However, after this round of bombing blew up nearly one-third of the number of the brigade, the attacking brigade finally could not withstand it and began to retreat, and the Japanese soldiers quickly fled for their lives in the direction from which they came.
The Japanese retreat was also very orderly, unlike after the defeat of the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army did not care about the head and tail, they all retreated under cross-cover, and in this case, if they pursued, they would suffer a big loss.
However, the Chinese army was stationed in the warehouse, which had the advantage of a high point, and the rigid tactical awareness of the Japanese made them suffer again, and the defenders above the third floor could clearly see where the Japanese were hiding, and they did not hurry or slow to shoot.
Although the retreating Japanese have cover shots, but as the sky gets dark, it is difficult for them to aim at a head in the window, this is not a game, as long as the crosshair is aimed at the target, there are many factors to consider, the Japanese can only shoot at the general target, praying that their emperor can protect them, but this time the emperor is not on their side.
But contrary to their situation, the Chinese army can easily aim at them, after all, a person's body is much easier to aim than a head, and a person can't hit accurately, but more than a dozen people aim at a person at the same time, and there will always be a bullet that hits the Japanese.
The retreating Japanese fell almost one after another, about 300 people, and when they finally fled back to the corner in disarray, there were only about 100 people.
The temporary wing commander, looking at the subordinates who came back, his face was very ugly, and he looked at the officers below who shouted with all his might: "Shame, this is the shame of the Great Japanese Empire, from the three northeastern provinces, to Beiping City, and then to Shanghai, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are invincible, you attacked a warehouse garrisoned by 800 Chinese troops, and more than 500 people were killed, and it has not yet been captured, how can you let me explain to the general, how to explain to the emperor, you cut your stomach!" ”
After finishing speaking, he threw a saber to the captain of the third brigade, and the captain picked up the saber in his hand tremblingly, bent down and bowed, and slowly retreated, do the Japanese like seppuku? Nobody likes to commit suicide, it's just that the Japanese exaggerate it to promote the samurai spirit of their time.
Of course, there are indeed some fanatics who are very fond of seppuku to show their loyalty, and there are many in the army, but it is definitely not these people who have become officers.
But this Shaozo finally chose seppuku, there is no way, if he does not take the initiative to seppuku, his family in Japan will be implicated, this is his only way, if he is shot, then his family in Japan will be disgraced.
After the captain in charge of the attack was seppuku, the temporary wing captain received a call from Matsui Ishone, which was originally a small matter for Matsui Ishone, but because it was related to Japan's face, he had to pay attention.
Today's ceremony to enter the city has been ruined, and if this Chinese army cannot be quickly exterminated, the face of the Japanese will be lost internationally, and Matsui Ishine has even received a warning from the army headquarters.
"Your Excellency General, Kutahara II has been shattered jade, I am Fujiwara Shui, just now there was a problem with our attack, the third brigade of more than 500 warriors shattered, failed to conquer the warehouse guarded by the Chinese!"
Matsui Shigen had just finished everything and took advantage of the gap to understand the situation, but he didn't expect to receive the news, and frowned: "You can tell me about the specific situation!" ”
"The Chinese army is very cunning, the buildings they chose are very strong, we used planes and mortars to bombard, but they failed to blow the walls open, the soldiers rushed into the warehouses and never came out, there were machine gun positions on both wings, forming a network of fire, our infantry brigade passed, and before it got close to the building, it would be attacked!"
After listening, Fuji Quanshui continued to report: "And on both sides are the British Lend-Lease and the riverside, and it is impossible to attack, so we can only attack from the front, and our attack is blocked, ask for tactical guidance!" ”
"I'll send tanks and artillery to support you, and there will be bombers, and today, this warehouse must be taken!" Otherwise, you will go to seppuku to thank the emperor! ”
"Hayi!"
After hanging up the phone, Fuji Quanshui immediately began to get busy, and began to hold meetings with his subordinates, discuss tactics, find the structural diagram of the four lines of warehouses, and mark out one fire point after another.
"What good way do you have to attack the warehouse!"
The Sihang warehouse is a huge turtle shell, after seeing the structural diagram, the Japanese almost no longer want to blow him up before attacking, the amount of factory needed is too large to be realistic.
"Your Excellency, I think we need to occupy all the surrounding buildings now, so that our men can suppress the fire in the buildings and cover the infantry attack!"
After a captain looked at the topographic map, he pointed to several buildings on the map, Fuji Quanshui looked at the buildings, and slowly shook his head: "These buildings have all become ruins, when the imperial bombers attacked Shanghai, they used to carry out large-scale bombing of Shanghai, this was once the headquarters of the 88th Division of the Chinese Army, it was the focus of the bombing, and the surrounding buildings are gone!" ”
After hearing Fujiwara Shui's words, the captain sat back silently, the area around the Sixing warehouse is quite prosperous, and there are several high-rise buildings, not far away, if the Japanese occupy it, set up machine guns in the window, and shoot at each other with the Sixing warehouse, the defenders will definitely be difficult to parry, but unfortunately, these buildings have long been gone.
"Then the tanks take the lead, we follow behind to attack, we concentrate our superior forces, blow the gate open, rush in from here, as long as we open a gap, we can drive straight in!"
After about half an hour of discussion, there was probably a tactic, and the tank wing sent by Matsui Ishine had arrived, about twenty tanks, a tank brigade, and sixteen 75-mm mountain guns, also an artillery group.
At the same time, the air force has already sent five bombers on the way, and it can be said that the Japanese are very well prepared for this second attack, and are ready to take four rows of warehouses in one fell swoop.
"Head, the Japanese have come with twenty Douding tanks, and they have been assembled!"
"Twenty?"
After Yu Zhiqian heard Dai Qiang's report, he quickly came to the roof of the building and looked into the distance, the Japanese had concentrated such a large number of troops today? This plot is different.,Historically, the Japanese were fighting for the first two days.,It wasn't until the third day that a wing came over.,Later, there were two more wings.,But now it seems,Japan directly moved seriously.。
"The Japanese are crazy?"
Yu Zhiqian frowned and thought, he didn't quite understand why the Japanese were a little different from history, and the Japanese themselves probably didn't think that their broadcast in the afternoon would be so cruel to the Japanese slap in the face, at least the Japanese thought so, if they couldn't end the battle in the Sixing Warehouse as soon as possible, Matsui Shigen would probably be held accountable by the emperor.
"How's it going, sir!"
Xie Jinyuan admires Yu Zhiqian more now, he used to think that Yu Zhiqian was gold-plated or that kind of brainless straw bag, and there were already many in the army, but in the afternoon, it was seen that Yu Zhiqian was a very talented person, and now Xie Jinyuan would discuss with Yu Zhiqian when he encountered things, and most of the time he would adopt Yu Zhiqian's suggestions.
"Not very optimistic, the Japanese have gathered twenty tanks, as well as mountain artillery, it is estimated that there will be aircraft bombing later, ready to eat us with one sentence!"
Taking the telescope handed over by Yu Zhiqian, Xie Jinyuan looked at the Japanese temporary headquarters in the distance: "Sir, as for tanks, we still have some mortars and a 20mm anti-tank gun, but there is not much ammunition!" ”
"Where?"
"On the third floor!"
"Move him to the fifth floor, or the sixth floor, don't expose it yet, the devil's tank is not very high, and I will teach the devil a good lesson!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, is there enough ammunition?"
"It's quite enough!"
"Inform the brothers, pick up all the weapons and ammunition supplies of the devil in the corner, we must be ready to fight a protracted war this time, we must be like nails, staring at the city of Shanghai, let the devil return, the Chinese army, not dough kneading, the devil wants to kill us in three months, we let him not even occupy Shanghai in three months!"
"Yes!"
