Chapter 357: Four Lines Warehouse
"Hello Commander Xie, I am an independent regiment of the First Division of the Hainan Escort Army. We know that you will have to defend this place, so I have been ordered to bring you some equipment for you to receive. As soon as the young head of the regiment got down to business, he was extremely upright.
And the dozen or so soldiers behind him also seemed to be a different person, standing straight one by one, their eyes were shining, and their mixed bodies exuded a fierce aura.
Xie Jinyuan only found out at this time that this was a group of soldier kings, and it could be seen from their cold eyes that they were indifferent to life and death, and these people all crawled out of the pile of dead people.
Because it can be seen from the eyes of these people that they don't care about their own life and death at all, let alone the life and death of their enemies.
Although Xie Jinyuan was followed by dozens of pro-soldiers, he had no sense of security at all. But fortunately, the other party reported his own home, and the other party still came to deliver the equipment, so Head Xie did not seriously verify the other party's true identity.
Regiment Commander Xie returned a military salute to the person in front of him, and introduced himself: "Xie Jinyuan, deputy commander of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, led the soldiers of the first battalion to be stationed at the Sixing Warehouse to welcome the arrival of the brother troops. ”
Xie Jinyuan shook hands cordially with the visitor, and the other party was not polite, and directly took Regiment Commander Xie and dozens of soldiers behind him to an underground warehouse in the warehouse.
Xie Jinyuan looked at the boxes of materials piled up in front of him, and looked at the head of the independent regiment of the Hainan Escort Army incomprehensibly.
The regiment commander motioned to his soldiers to open the boxes of things in front of him, and saw that Regiment Commander Xie's eyes widened.
I saw that the underground warehouse was divided into several areas, and a pile of boxes was full of all kinds of grenades and mortar shells, and more than a dozen large-caliber mortars were placed in front of the shell boxes.
Then the regiment commander opened the boxes in all the areas, and each area opened a box, only to see a new machine gun, a heavy machine gun, and a mountain of bullets.
When General Xie Jinyuan and the soldiers of the first battalion of the 524 Regiment behind him were dazzled, the regiment commander opened a wooden box again, on which were dozens of Kuomintang party flags and colorful flags printed with the logo of the Huaxing Group.
That's not all, the commander of the Hainan Guard Corps in front of him also quietly told him that the houses around the Sixing warehouse do not need to be burned, let alone destroyed.
Because they had already planted high explosives in all the houses before Commander Xie came, and the detonator was set up in the Sixing warehouse, and when the time came, he could detonate any house he wanted, and asked Commander Xie to accept it.
Looking at the list of supplies handed over by the commander of the independent regiment, there is also a detailed map of the explosives buried in the surrounding houses, as well as the serial numbers marked on these houses. Regiment Commander Xie was full of confidence in this mission to stop the enemy.
The regiment commander told Regiment Commander Xie that the supplies here were enough for a battalion for a month, so that they could fight with confidence and be open to use.
The warehouse had food, medicine, water, and all kinds of supplies, not only hundreds of boxes of mortar shells, but also hundreds of boxes of grenades.
There were also twenty heavy machine guns, one hundred light machine guns, five hundred rifles of the latest type, and countless bullets. Even the gas masks are equipped with a thousand, and an average of one paraphernalia is enough for them to use.
Regiment Commander Xie was very grateful to the other party for thinking so thoughtfully, but he had just received an order from the division commander to come to the Sixing Warehouse to defend it, why did he look at the layout in front of him, it seemed that the windows here had been modified and strengthened a few months ago?
The regiment commander grinned and said: "The windows here are all sealed with reinforced concrete, and only a firing port is left, just to facilitate your defense."
But who arranged this and when did you arrange it, don't ask me, when you leave Shanghai and see our boss, you can ask him directly. ”
"Oh, who's your boss? Isn't the chairman of Hainan Province Wang Yaqiao? Xie Jinyuan asked.
"Wang Yaqiao is our chairman and our commander-in-chief, but he is not our boss, but our boss's real name cannot be told to you.
Our boss said that maybe you will receive an order from Commander Chiang to retreat after you fight here for a few days.
Our boss asked me to tell you that you must not retreat at that time, and you must hold out for at least ten days before retreating.
Anyway, there is the British Concession behind you, as long as you enter the British Concession, you will be protected by the British army, and even if you kill all the Japanese troops in front of you, they will not dare to enter the British Concession to arrest you.
Therefore, in order to avenge the thousands of Chinese, and also to make full use of these weapons that we sent you, please hold on for at least ten days.
Ten days later, when you leave, all you have to do is lower the door of this underground warehouse. Five hours after the gates are lowered, the underground arsenal will blow itself up.
All unused munitions will explode together. As for how many Japanese troops can be destroyed after the explosion, it depends on their lives. The commander of the independent regiment of the Hainan Guard Army smiled gloomily.
Xie Jinyuan felt more and more that this Hainan Escort Army was extremely mysterious, fortunately, everyone was a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, otherwise Xie Jinyuan was worried that he would accidentally let this Hainan Escort Army die.
Countless explosives were buried under their feet? Isn't this a madman doing something?
However, although Xie Jinyuan slandered the style of the Hainan Guards in his heart, he still maintained a grateful expression on the surface.
"Thank you so much for the support of your army, with these weapons, we will definitely support for more than ten days, strive to destroy more Japanese troops, and never disappoint the expectations of friendly forces.
By the way, we can be regarded as acquaintances, but I don't know your surname, brother? If he can survive someone, he will definitely come to the door to thank him. Xie Jinyuan suddenly remembered that he didn't know the real name of the head of the regiment.
"Don't be so polite, our boss said that after you retreat into the concession, you will be disarmed by the foreign army in the concession, and I will have to save you then."
But you really have to remember me, otherwise it will be difficult for the people I send to contact you in the future. I am Liu Aiguo, commander of the 1st Independent Regiment of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Hainan Guard.
The more obscene-looking people behind him are all my brothers in life and death, all of them are surnamed Wang, and they are also the commanders of my three infantry battalions. But I prefer you to call us another independent regiment. The commander of the independent regiment said proudly.
"Oh, there will be two numbers in one unit? I don't know what the other number is? Xie Jinyuan also asked curiously. The dozens of brothers behind him also want to know.
As soon as Xie Jinyuan's voice fell, he only heard several battalion commanders and more than a dozen soldiers behind the independent regiment shouting loudly: "A magical regiment, a hundred battles are won." ”
The loud slogans shook the ears of dozens of fighters of the 524 regiment in the underground warehouse.
Soon the handover of the independent group left, watching their distant figures. The commander of the machine gun company beside Regiment Commander Xie asked:
"Regiment commander, these people are strong soldiers as soon as they look at them, why are they leaving? Why don't they join us in fighting devils? Aren't they scared? ”
Head Xie shook his head thoughtfully: "They must not be afraid, you see the formation when they left, although they looked like they were staggering, and even the team couldn't walk together."
But if you look at the way they hold the gun, the muzzle of the gun is either pointing up to the sky or facing downward, the finger is on the side of the trigger, and the other hand is holding the barrel of the gun.
This position can be tiring when walking, but it can make the fastest counterattack movements. If their entire army is of this level, then their Hainan Escort Army will be the strongest army in China. ”
"Wouldn't it? Doesn't it say that the strongest army in China is the tax police corps and the officer teaching corps of Song Caishen? Are they more at stake than the tax police corps and the teaching corps? The machine gun company commander asked.
"Although the Tax Police Corps and the Officer Training Corps are ranked first or second in the country's military combat effectiveness rankings, you must not forget that this is in various exercises, not on the battlefield.
At the very least, in my impression, the combat effectiveness of the 19th Route Army back then was no worse than these two troops, otherwise Commander Wei Lihuang would not have been beaten by a battalion of the 19th Route Army a few years ago. ”
Hearing Regiment Commander Xie mention the troubles of Wei Lihuang, a famous general of the Republic of China, the soldiers of the 524th Regiment will smile.
"It's a pity that after the division of the 19th Route Army, the real elite of that part of the sea has been missing, but when I saw this Hainan Escort Army today, I suddenly had such an idea.
Do you say that the veterans of the 5,009th Route Army who escaped back then will join the ranks of the Hainan Guards? Otherwise, in Hainan, where birds don't, they will cultivate such a strong army? "Commander Xie is really a victim of hardship, and just by virtue of his relationship with Captain Liu Aiguo, he thinks of the original 19th Route Army.
Not to mention that he really guessed correctly, the current Hainan Escort Army was established with the 19th Route Army and the Huaxing Escort Army as the backbone.
The current Independent Regiment of the First Army of the Hainan Guard Army is the original magical company during the First Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, and it is also the magical battalion that protected the 519th Route Army from fleeing to the sea during the Fujian Incident.
Sent away the head of Liu Aiguo, the Sixing warehouse defense battle still happened as scheduled, but the results of the Sixing warehouse defense battle were much greater than the previous life, in the previous life, the Sixing warehouse defense battle only wiped out more than 200 Japanese soldiers, and their own casualties were more than 30 people, but this time it was different.
On the afternoon of 26 October, when the Battle of Xinkou was at its worst in Shanxi, more than 3,000 Japanese troops of the First Wing of the Third Division, which had just driven the Chinese army north of the Suzhou Creek to the north of the Suzhou Creek, had already pursued the front of the Sihang Warehouse on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek.
The latest information they received was that there were only 800 Chinese defenders in the Sixing warehouse, and there were no heavy weapons, so even basic supplies were in question.
Captain Itada, who knew the news, nodded excitedly, and he sent a large group of soldiers to order them to eliminate the Chinese defenders of the Sixing warehouse in front of them before dark.
He was to cross the Suzhou Creek this evening, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Chinese defenders who had fled to the south bank, and defeating the Chinese defenders. Although the Chinese army on the opposite side had hundreds of thousands of people, his Itada Wing had only more than 3,000 men.
However, the captain of Itada was confident, because he was followed by a tank wing and a heavy artillery wing. As long as the three of them join forces, he has absolute confidence to take out all the Chinese troops in front of him.
So looking at the Sixing warehouse in front of him, he waved his big hand and shouted confidently: "Kill the chicken." ”
As soon as he gave the order, a large group of Japanese soldiers immediately went to a private house opposite the Sixing warehouse.
