The captain of the 1st Japanese Army saw that Captain Sakata's head was knocked out, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "The whole army retreats!" Then he struggled to drag the headless corpse of the wing leader, and at the same time crawled out of the ruins of the house in front of him, and then escaped from the range of the Chinese defenders of the Sixing warehouse.

When he finally escaped back to the Japanese position, looking at the bloody corpse of the wing commander in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad. Their Third Division was stationed in China a few years ago, and for so many years it was born and died with the Wing Commander.

Although Captain Sakata is a bit more lascivious, he is usually a little more arrogant and treats his subordinates more harshly. However, as an imperial soldier, he was not afraid of death, and his military quality of daring to charge forward made him, a slightly less courageous captain, admire.

But now that the wing commander is dead, and they have survived safely, how can he report the battle situation in front of him to His Excellency, the commander of the division?

The First Captain brought a white cloth to cover the body of the Wing Leader, and then he immediately gathered the attacking team, which surprised him again.

The attacking team of 2,500 people was killed and more than 300 wounded just a few dozen meters before rushing out of the ruins.

In other words, they suffered more than 500 casualties in this desperate attack, and counting their wing captain Sakata, if he hadn't faked the order of the wing captain and took the initiative to retreat.

With the powerful firepower of the Chinese garrison in the warehouse, none of them wanted to come back alive. He and several captains who had managed to escape looked at each other with sad faces.

In the end, everyone stomped their feet ruthlessly, and simply put the charge of giving the retreat order to the captain of the Sakata Wing. However, they can't let the captain bear this charge in vain, they have to shape the image of Captain Sakata a little.

So after their discussion, when they presented the latest battle report to the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, it became, "In the face of the powerful firepower of the Chinese defenders, the Sakata Wing fought desperately with the enemy, and in order to complete the task assigned by the division commander, the Captain of the Sakata Wing led the soldiers of the whole wing to launch a desperate attack on the warehouse without fear of death."

However, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, not only there were hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, but also more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, and the high walls of the Sixing Warehouse City were thick, and they could not use heavy weapons to bomb, so everyone tried their best but still did not attack it.

And the captain of the Sakata wing was also seriously injured during the attack, so he did not retreat, and continued to command the wing to attack, but helplessly, the difference in the strength of the enemy and us was too great, in order to avoid greater casualties, the seriously injured captain of the sakata wing ordered the whole army to retreat.

Captain Sakata is ready to retire first and prepare for the rematch. Wing Captain Sakata even personally led his troops to draw the firepower of the Chinese defenders to protect the safe retreat of the attacking soldiers of the entire wing.

Unfortunately, their heroic and selfless Captain Sakata was unlucky, and after most of the soldiers were safely evacuated, their beloved Captain Sakata was unfortunately shot in the head by a wicked heavy machine gun bullet from the Chinese defenders, and returned to the arms of Amaterasu.

Captain Sakata was a hero of the Imperial Army and the pride of all the soldiers of the 3rd Division. He will always be remembered by the soldiers of our Sakata Wing. ”

Seeing the battle report sent by the first brigade captain that was sad and tearful, the commander of the third division, Fujita Jin, had goosebumps all over his body, and the first captain of the Sakata Wing was a talent, and he was too good at reversing black and white.

The head of Fujita's division knew it. It must be that cautious Sakata Dazuo was scolded by himself, and he was hot-headed and launched a desperate attack recklessly, but he didn't capture the Sixing warehouse, not to mention, he lost his head.

Don't think that you can deceive me just because I have just taken over the post of commander of the Third Division for less than three months, but before taking over the post of commander of this division, I have a clear understanding of the temper and temperament of all officers and men above the rank of captain of the division.

He didn't believe that Sakata Daisa would personally cut off the queen for his soldiers, and he didn't have to be there to be a cat in it, he could guess it.

However, in view of the brilliant writing of this report, the flowers are full of flowers, and the logical reasoning of everything is very reasonable, so the head of the Fuji Tianjin Division did not expose the false reports of several captains of the Sakata Wing.

Instead, he pretended to persuade the captains of the Sakata Wing to mourn by the way, and he would arrange for soldiers from another wing to take over the task of the Sakata Wing and continue to attack the Sixing warehouse.

Now that all Japanese troops had reached the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, the 8th Division's Tsukada Attack Division and the 21st Division had made several tentative attacks on the Chinese defenders on the other side of the Suzhou Creek.

However, the Chinese army was very tightly defended, and the offensive line of their two divisions was not as smooth as that of the third division. So their tentative attacks all ended in failure.

The Sixing Warehouse was the only place on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek that had not yet been occupied by the Japanese army, so he asked the soldiers of the Bantian Wing to actively cooperate with the new Wing and be sure to completely occupy the Sihang Warehouse within two days.

The Shanghai Dispatch Army had already decided to launch another full-scale attack on the Chinese defenders on the south bank on the day the Sixing Warehouse was captured, so the attack on the Sixing Warehouse was of great significance to the success of the attack on the South Bank. However, two days later, a Japanese army of more than 3,000 troops did not capture a warehouse that was claimed to be defended by only 800 men.

Not only that, but also sacrificed nearly half of the men and horses, which made the commander of the third division embarrassed. He didn't want to leave a stain on his glorious career as a soldier. I don't want the commander of the Eighth Division, Tsukada, to attack that guy and laugh at him with this.

As the highest-ranked division of the empire, he must completely occupy the north bank and then attack the Chinese defenders on the south bank.

However, before the 3rd Division captured the Sixing warehouse, he also sent several small forces to tentatively attack the Chinese defenders on the south bank at night.

However, as with the attacks of other divisions, the Chinese defenders on the other side of the river were well defended and resisted desperately, and finally defeated the forced attacks of the 3rd Division at night.

At this time, the 200,000 Japanese troops of the Shanghai Dispatch Army could not help but stop attacking, and the two sides confronted each other across the river, constantly insulting each other. After two and a half months of fighting, the Japanese army was also very tired, so they also wanted to take the opportunity to rest.

So when the battlefield between the two sides temporarily calmed down, the defense of the small Sixing warehouse on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek was extremely eye-catching, and Xie Jinyuan's regiment, which was less to more, became the focus of the battlefield.

Who would have thought that a warehouse with only a few hundred people stationed would inflict such casualties on the mighty Japanese army? You must know that the two ends of the warehouse are the public concessions, and the citizens of Shanghai and reporters from all over the world in the concession are watching the battle on the spot.

Every day, Xie Jinyuan led 800 soldiers to beat thousands of Japanese soldiers, which was very happy. In just two days, thousands of Japanese troops were wiped out, and such a record was simply a miracle on the Sino-Japanese battlefield at this time.

Even the commander of the 88th Division, who thought that Xie Jinyuan's regiment would definitely die, personally sent a message of condolences, asking them to make persistent efforts and make new achievements.

However, because there were no Chinese troops on the north bank at this time, and their task of blocking the enemy had been completed, they did not need to continue to hold on.

However, their battle has now attracted the attention of the people of the whole country and even the attention of international friends, so every day of perseverance is a day that invigorates the hearts of the people of the whole country to resist and also a day that proclaims to the international community the determination of the Chinese to resist to the end, which is of great significance.

Therefore, while encouraging Xie Jinyuan to continue to hold on, the commander of the 88th Division also secretly gave Xie Jinyuan a secret order to break through immediately once nothing could be done.

At this time, the Japanese side won great victories in various theaters of China, and almost at the same time as the Japanese attacked Shanghai, they launched an attack on the Shanxi region of China from the Pingjin region that they had just occupied.

Now the Japanese army in the Shanxi battlefield is also victorious, although there are heavy casualties, but still the Chinese army is defeated.

Just when the Chinese people were in the midst of a crushing defeat in the national war, the extraordinary achievements of the Sixing Warehouse greatly boosted the hearts of the Chinese anti-Japanese people, and everyone thought:

"It turns out that it's not that our Chinese soldiers can't do it, but that our weapons are not advanced enough, as long as our Chinese soldiers have sufficient weapons, they can also beat the Japanese without temper, look at the battle of the Sixing warehouse, the same thousands of people besiege us and hundreds of people, isn't it for us to fight?

Just by looking at the sound of machine guns coming from the warehouses for two consecutive days, you can imagine how much ammunition is abundant in the four rows of warehouses.

That's a hundred machine guns, how many bullets do you get every day? And that's not even counting the consumption of hundreds of rifles and mortars of all kinds, anti-aircraft guns, as well as grenades and explosives.

Everyone is asking, where did Xie Jinyuan's ammunition come from? It seems that their ammunition reserves are much larger than the reserves of an army? ”

This answer was soon revealed, it turned out to be sent by the Hainan Guards, but who are the Hainan Guards? Why do they have so much ammunition? Naturally, there are well-informed people who can solve the doubts of the general public.

"What? It turns out that the Hainan Guards were funded by Li Tie? No wonder they are so deep-pocketed. The citizens of Shanghai were immediately relieved when they heard the news.

"What? The ammunition in the Sixing warehouse was prepared in advance by Li Tie of Huaxing Company? No wonder Regiment Commander Xie has been able to support them for so long, I heard that Li Tie has always been the most supportive of our army.

The supplies sent to us a few days ago were sent by Huaxing Company in the face of artillery fire. Is this Li Tie really a good businessman who is patriotic? The defenders on the south bank of Suzhou Creek said cordially.

"What? Wang Yaqiao's Hainan Guards and Li Tie still have one leg, what's going on? Commander Chiang, who was far away in Nanjing, exclaimed.
