Chapter 1208: At Stake
Almost at the same time, the concession in the central district. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie Yuan's figure appeared in a temporary requisitioned warehouse, which was originally the granary of the Shanghai Customs during the Manchu government, so it covered a wide area, and later the concession was repeatedly expanded, occupying this area, and this warehouse naturally became the property of the concession authorities.
Now, however, the warehouse has been requisitioned by the patrol camp.
The reason why the patrol battalion rented this warehouse was to hide soldiers.
Since Xu Rui's radio speech, especially after Liang Yixiao broadcast an interview with veteran Wang Gouyu, the veterans of the Nationalist Army stranded in Shanghai were deeply infected, and their already cold hearts became hot again, and then rushed from all corners of the concession like rain into the river.
By now, there are more than 6,000 veterans of the National Army who have returned to the army!
Different from the Sixing warehouse, the veterans hidden in this warehouse quickly completed the reorganization after returning to the team, and now they have been organized into three regiments, that is to say, after the first regiment, the second regiment and the third regiment, the first brigade of the Songhu Military Division has four regiments, five regiments and six regiments.
And Xie Yuan is still a brigade commander now, but in fact he is living the life of a division commander!
After entering the warehouse gate, Xie Yuan asked Ye Ming to blow the assembly whistle, and as soon as the whistle sounded, the veterans who were resting and waiting in the warehouses immediately swarmed out.
At this time, a reconnaissance plane of the Japanese Navy happened to pass over the warehouse.
The devil pilot who piloted the reconnaissance plane inadvertently lowered his head and swept down, and then the whole person was stunned!
There was originally a big warehouse underneath, and this devil knew about flying, because he had flown over here more than once, but in the past, this warehouse was empty, but today, he suddenly found that from the rows and rows of warehouses below, there was actually a black flow of people!
That situation is like ants going out to forage, first a few gather into a group, then gather into a bunch, and then gather into a large area, and when the devil reconnaissance plane circles around, lowers its flight recognition and flies over the warehouse again, it finds that the open space in front of the warehouse is already full of figures, and these people are all soldiers!
"Yaga!" The devil pilot's eyes immediately widened, where did so many soldiers come from?

In four rows of warehouses.
Five minutes later, the 3,000 veterans quickly completed the rectification, Wang Jiageng, Lu Deming, and Fu Desheng each appointed their subordinate company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders, and these company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders found themselves a deputy as soon as they arrived, and the squad leaders and squad deputies at the grassroots level quickly remembered the names and images of each veteran in their squad.
In this way, the efficiency is greatly improved, because the battalion commander only needs to remember the company commander, the company commander only needs to remember the platoon commander, the platoon commander only needs to remember the squad leader, and the squad leader only needs to remember a dozen people under him.
So in less than five minutes, more than 3,000 veterans quickly completed the rectification.
Of course, it must be said that this kind of rectification is very crude, and can only barely achieve effective tactical command, and it is impossible to achieve the level of command! Fortunately, these are all veterans, and as long as effective command is achieved, the combat effectiveness can be at least six or seven percent!
Even if there is only six or seven percent of the combat strength, that is enough!
Because the devils outside have been fighting viciously with the first and second regiments of the patrol camp for nearly two days and nights, but these more than 3,000 veterans have been recuperating, eating and sleeping every day, and they have been locked in a cage for several days, one by one is not only full of energy, but also all of them are suffocated, and they have long wanted to find a place to have fun!
Wang Jiageng's three battalion commanders ran back to Shi Changqing.
"Report to the regiment commander, the four battalions have been assembled, please give me instructions!"
"Report to the regiment commander, the five battalions have been assembled, please give me instructions!"
"Report to the regiment commander, the six battalions have been assembled, please instruct!"
The establishment is all in chaos, the first brigade of the Songhu Military Division has six regiments, and Shi Changqing's first regiment has six battalions, which is still a regiment in the fuck, it is simply a brigade!
Shi Changqing didn't say half a word of superfluous nonsense, raised the Thomson in his hand to charge, pulled the bolt with a click, and then tore out his throat and looked up to the sky with a hoarse voice: "Brothers, stab the little devil in the eye with me and kill!" ”
After finishing speaking, Shi Changqing rushed out, and the more than 3,000 veterans who had completed the assembly in the open space turned around one after another, just like the torrent of waves that broke the embankment, and followed Shi Changqing to kill the devils outside, outside the Sixing warehouse, the devil squadron that stayed to monitor the Sixing warehouse had already been beaten by a regiment and a battalion and couldn't parry, at this time, Shi Changqing brought in with more than 3,000 veterans from three reinforced battalions, and the devils were immediately defeated!

In Hongkou, along the Tibet Road to the north, is the headquarters of the Ninth Division.
At this time, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the Devil's Ninth Division, was waiting at the headquarters for the good news from the front.
Although the attack of the 9th Division was very unsmooth, Yoshizumi Ryosuke did not lose confidence, for the victory, this old devil is still full of confidence, I have to admit that Yoshizumi Ryosuke is not blindly optimistic, but does have confidence, because the main force of the patrol battalion trapped on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek has been fighting fiercely for two days and nights, and is now exhausted.
Although the Ninth Division also fought for two days and nights, it was better because there were many soldiers and they could take turns to rest, so the Ninth Division had an advantage in terms of physical strength and energy, and there was also a very important factor that after two days and nights of fierce fighting, the ammunition reserves of the patrol battalion were already very small, which could be judged from the gradually thinning firepower of the patrol battalion.
It is based on the above signs of the past few days that Yoshizumi Ryosuke is sure that the patrol camp will definitely not last for two hours!
At this time, half an hour has passed since Yoshizumi Ryosuke gave the order for the general attack, calculating the time, Nakagawa Hiroshi should have rushed to Wuchang Road, and must have personally relayed his order to Hidezo, who saw Hidezo, a fool, if he didn't want to commit suicide, he had to fight hard.
After all, the same is death, and seppuku suicide is not the same as dying on the battlefield.
Seppuku suicide can only preserve the basic reputation of being a soldier, but dying on the battlefield can earn the title of imperial martyr, of course, if you fail to break through the defense line of the patrol camp in the end, and refuse to commit suicide by seppuku, then waiting for people to see Shuzo can only be sent to a military court.
Therefore, Yoshizumi Ryosuke is very sure that people will definitely work hard when they see Shuzo.
Therefore, Yoshizumi Ryosuke is very sure that the good news will come back soon.
Time passed quietly in waiting, and I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hour hand was already pointing to eleven o'clock.
There is only half an hour to eat lunch, and it is best to have good news before lunch, Ryosuke Yoshizumi thought to himself.
However, at this juncture, Kagezo Zhenzhao suddenly walked in with a blue face, and immediately reported: "The division commander, the naval aviation report that they found a large number of Chinese soldiers gathering in an abandoned granary in the central area of the concession!" Even if it is a conservative estimate, the number of Chinese soldiers must exceed one brigade, 6,000 people! ”
"Nani? Concession Central District? A large number of Chinese soldiers? At least one brigade of six thousand people? When Yoshizumi Ryosuke heard this, his eyes instantly became dull, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Hello!" Kagesazhen paused and said, "At least one brigade of 6,000 people!" ”
"Yaga!" After a long time, Yoshizumi Ryosuke recovered from the huge shock, then shivered, quickly turned around and walked to the edge of the simulated sand table, and asked Kage Sa Zhenzhao without looking back, "Kage Sa-kun, where is this granary?" ”
"It's at the junction of the Central and Western districts of the concession." Kagesa Zhenzhao strode over, quickly found the granary from the map, and pointed it to Yoshizumi Ryosuke, after Yoshizumi Ryosuke saw the location of this abandoned granary, his heart immediately began to sink, because from this abandoned granary to Sichuan Road Bridge and Erbaidu Bridge are only less than two kilometers away!
Two kilometers, the march is eight or nine minutes, it can be said that it is in a blink of an eye!
"It's over!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke staggered for a moment and said dejectedly, "I'm afraid it's impossible to annihilate the main force of the patrol camp again." ”
It is really impossible, because this group of Chinese soldiers who suddenly appeared can rush to the Erbaidu Bridge within a quarter of an hour, with this brigade of more than 6,000 Chinese soldiers joining, it is absolutely impossible for the already exhausted Broadway Building to continue, the rout is expected, once the Broadway Building is defeated, once the Sichuan Road Bridge and the Erbaidu Bridge are opened, the main force of the patrol battalion trapped on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek can also be smoothly withdrawn to the south bank.
Thinking that the good situation was ruined in one fell swoop, Yoshizumi Ryosuke felt boundless anger!
"Kagesa-kun!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke Huo Ran turned around, glared at Kage Zhenzhao viciously, and asked sharply, "What are you doing with the No. 76 in the Nakamura Agency?" Why did the patrol battalion secretly gather more than 6,000 troops in the abandoned warehouse, but you didn't even hear the slightest rumor? You idiots, you stupid pigs, stupid pigs! ”
"Hello!" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to say a word of justification.
This incident is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of their Nakamura organs, and it is an extremely serious dereliction of duty.
Looking back now, Kagesashi Zhenzhao realized that he had made a fatal mistake, that is, he only sent people to monitor the station of the patrol camp, but did not fully monitor the entire concession! It was precisely because of his negligence that he gave the other party the opportunity to stage a good show, but unfortunately, it was too late to regret it at this time.
But it's also because they don't have enough people, but they can't say that.
"Kagesa, you Nakamura must take full responsibility for the defeat of this battle!"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke waved his arms and roared hoarsely at Kagesa Yoshiaki.
Poor Yoshizumi Ryosuke, at this time, was still regretting that he could not completely annihilate the main force of the patrol battalion, but he didn't know that his entire Ninth Division, and even himself, were already in danger!
