To the west of the Sihang warehouse, it is said that the headquarters of the army Wakisaka Wing.

The truck that suddenly crossed the blockade line also alarmed Jiro Wakisaka Osa and Takeo Kitajima.

Kitajima Tsuyoshi said with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the observation post reported that the Shina Army unloaded more than a dozen large cylinders from the truck, but it is unknown what was in the bottles. ”

"Cylinders?" Jiro Wakisaka's face changed drastically and said, "Could it be a chemical weapon?" ”

"This ......" Kitajima Tsuyoshio's face suddenly changed, and he immediately shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, this place is close to the public concession, and even the Imperial Army of the Great Emperor does not dare to openly use chemical weapons, how can the Chinese army dare to come nonsense?" Besides, it is impossible for the Chinese army to possess chemical weapons, right? ”

"That's right." Wakisaka Jiro frowned, "So what exactly are these bottles in?" ”

Kitajima Tsuyoshi said: "Your Excellency, it is useless to speculate like this, it is better to immediately send a report to the division headquarters and ask the people of the special high class to find out the origin of these cylinders." ”

"Yo Xi, Beidao-kun is reasonable, you go and send a report to His Excellency the division commander!" Wakisaka Jiro thought about it, and then specially advised, "Just in case, before the special high school does not find out the origin of these cylinders, it is said that the imperial army can no longer go to war, and tomorrow's attack will be due to the Fengtian garrison brigade in Zhishan as the main attack." ”

"Hello." Kitajima stiffened his head and bowed his head, and immediately took the order.

In a blink of an eye, five days passed, and the time came to November 20, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China (1937).

In the past five days, the battlefield of the Sixing Warehouse is still in full swing, although the 36th Wing of the Yue Army has not participated in the offensive again, but the puppet Manchukuo Fengtian Garrison Brigade has launched a fierce attack on the Sixing Warehouse, after five days of fierce fighting, the Fengtian Garrison Brigade has suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, which have basically been disabled.

In the past five days, the people of the public concession are still enthusiastically supporting the heroic resistance of the Baoshan camp on the south bank, and the "Song of Two Hundred Heroes" that the man with glasses once sang loudly has now been sung all over the north and south banks of the Suzhou Creek, and not only the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan battalion, but even the little beggars in Shanghai can sing loudly.

Journalists from all over the world gathered on the south bank of the Suzhou Creek, either out of curiosity or humanitarian assistance, sent back to China the pictures of the Anti-Japanese War in the Sixing Warehouse, as well as written materials, and the mainstream media in the Western world also began to pay attention to this battle in the far East, and the main public opinion in the international community gradually changed from the initial neutrality to sympathy for China.

It's just that in the entire battlefield of resistance against the Chinese army, [***] failed to achieve exciting and major results, and even under the blow of the army, the battlefields on the north and south sides abandoned the city and lost the land, and the army was defeated!

In the North China Battlefield, Taiyuan and Linfen were lost one after another, the remnants of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army retreated to the line of Zhongtiao Mountain, and almost all of Shanxi fell, and only the Eighth Route Army still insisted on guerrilla warfare in the mountainous area northwest of Shanxi.

Two days ago, the 68th Wing of the 3rd Division of the North Road Army, that is, the Yingsen Filial Piety Wing, had captured Kunshan, and the 10th Army of the South Road Army had captured Wuxing and Changxing.

At this point, there are no other [***] troops in the entire Songhu area except for the Baoshan battalion.

Of course, almost all of the nine elite divisions and regiments of the Central China Front, two other infantry brigades, and two heavy artillery brigades were also on the front line, and in addition to the 36th Infantry Wing of Wakisaka Jiro, there were only two supplementary corps that had just been transported to Shanghai in the Songhu area.

…………

Zhabei, the headquarters of the 36th Wing of the Army.

At two o'clock in the morning, Kitajima Tsuyo Tetsu walked in with a blue face and said to Wakisaka Jiro: "Your Excellency, the special high school has been investigated, and those cylinders are full of oxygen. ”

It took five days for the special high section of the intelligence agency of the military to finally find out.

It is not that the special high school of the military is incompetent, and the reason why it took five days to find out is that the State Secret Bureau took advantage of this opportunity to launch an unprecedentedly tragic secret war with the special high school of the military in Shanghai.

"What? Oxygen!? Jiro Wakisaka's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

"Yes, oxygen." Kitajima Tsuyoshi bowed his head abruptly and said, "Your Excellency Osa, because we have delayed the fighter planes and have not been able to destroy the Shina Army in the Sixing Warehouse for a long time, so that there has been public opinion in the world that is unfavorable to the empire, Your Excellency the Division Commander and Your Excellency the Commander are extremely angry, and this matter has even alarmed the base camp. ”

Wakisaka Jiro's face turned from blue to white in an instant, and he said in a deep voice: "What does Your Excellency the division commander mean? ”

Kitajima Tsuyoshi said: "Your Excellency the division commander has ordered that the remnants of the Shina soldiers who are holding the Sixing warehouse must be cleared out before dark tomorrow. ”

Jiro Wakisaka's facial muscles twitched suddenly, he knew that His Excellency the division commander was really angry this time, if he still couldn't capture the Sixing warehouse tomorrow, then he could really only seppuku to thank the emperor!

The guards suddenly entered and reported: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the commander of the Fengtian Garrison Brigade Yu Zhishan wants to see you." ”

"Let him in." Wakisaka Jiro waved his hand and said, tomorrow will be a decisive battle, and the Mukden Garrison Brigade will still have to take the lead.

Yu Zhishan quickly came in, and without waiting for Wakisaka Jiro to speak, he said urgently: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I have important information to report. ”

"Important information?" Wakisaka Jiro said, "What information?" ”

Yu Zhishan said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, just now my guards reported to me that they heard a strange noise under the command headquarters. ”

"Yaga!" Wakisaka Jiro was on fire in his heart, and immediately said angrily, "Your nonsense, how can there be a strange noise underground, could it be that the pig will turn into a rat and burrow into the ground......"

As he spoke, Jiro Wakisaka's voice stopped abruptly, and then he turned his head to look at Tsuyoshi Kitajima.

Kitajima Tsuyoshio's face also showed an inexplicable look for a moment, and then he shouted almost at the same time as Wakisaka Jiro: "Oxygen, tunnel excavation, sapper blasting!" ”

"Sapper blasting?" Yu Zhishan sighed, "What blasting? Those shriveled calves are trying to dig tunnels to escape. ”

"Yaga!" Kitajima Tsuyoshi couldn't help but say that he slapped Zhishan in the face, and then turned his head and shouted, "Retreat, all personnel will withdraw from the headquarters, quickly!" ”

…………

Four-row warehouse, ground floor hall.

Including Yue Weihan, the remaining 100 or so officers and soldiers of the Baoshan battalion have all changed into the military uniforms of devils, but the more than 20 seriously wounded have not changed into devil uniforms, Yue Weihan and several company platoon commanders are silently shaking hands with the seriously wounded at this time to say goodbye, and the remains of more than 100 fallen soldiers have also been moved into the depths of the tunnel.

"Yingzuo, when we are healed, we will come to you and fight devils with you!" A seriously wounded man made a difficult passage.

"Good! You will always be the soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion, and you will always be my soldiers! Yue Weihan choked up and said, "As long as you recover from your injuries, I welcome you back to the team at any time!" ”

After saying that, Yue Weihan turned his head to Yang Shaocheng and said, "Director Yang, these brothers will ask you." ”

"Don't worry." Yang Shaocheng said solemnly, "Our Eighth Route Army Office will definitely do its best to protect these seriously wounded, and when they recover from their injuries, we will find a way to send them to the rental world." ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan turned around abruptly and ordered coldly, "Detonate!" ”

Liu Tiezhu, the guard platoon commander standing at the entrance of the tunnel, immediately pressed the detonator, and suddenly, a faint muffled sound suddenly came from the depths of the ground, and then the ground under his feet began to shake violently, including Yue Weihan, all the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan battalion were shaken to the ground in an instant, and no one could stand anymore.

More than 200 meters west of the Sihang warehouse, the three-story building that was used as the headquarters by Jiro Wakisaka suddenly shook violently twice, and then collapsed violently, and in an instant, the huge smoke and dust spread like a tsunami to the surrounding mountains, and in less than a moment, it almost covered the entire north bank of the Suzhou Creek.

At this moment, the people of the entire Public Concession, even the French Concession, and the Concession all cocked their heads at the same time, looking at the direction of Zhabei from afar, and everyone's eyes were full of horror, what happened just now? Could it be that the little devil dropped a bomb in Zhabei? But when, the little devil's bomber dared to take off at night?
