Shanghai, known as the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army.

Due to the arrival of the Hangzhou Garrison Brigade, Matsui Shigen's hanging heart finally fell, and the arrival of the Hangzhou Garrison Brigade greatly strengthened Matsui Shigen's troops.

After having sufficient troops, Matsui Ishine, Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukashi, and other cadres reformulated the battle plan overnight, changing the original plan of key defense and implementing a comprehensive defense in depth on the outskirts of Shanghai.

It is said that after the early morning is the most tired time of a night, Matsui Ishine, an old devil, is no exception, when Matsui Ishine and his subordinates finished formulating the battle plan, it was already late at night, and he was extremely tired and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but Matsui Ishone, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a quick knock on the door, "Your Excellency General, there is an emergency, Your Excellency General ......"

Matsui Ishone hurriedly turned over and got up, and didn't care about putting on his military uniform, so he strode towards the door, and when he opened the door, he saw the chief of staff, Tsukada Tsukashi, who was pacing back and forth at the door with an anxious expression.

"Tsukada-kun, what's going on? So anxious. Matsui asked with a frown. This would have made him sleepy, and if he hadn't thought that Tsukada had come late at night, there must have been something important, and it was estimated that he would have been angry.

"Your Excellency General, I just got the information that the British had a fierce battle with our Imperial Army Liyuan squad in the Zhabei area, and all the Liyuan squad was shattered, and the British are currently deploying troops to strengthen their vigilance." Tsukada hurriedly replied.

"British?" Matsui Ishine thought he had misheard and questioned, "Tsukada-kun, are you sure you're British?" "Matsui Shigen couldn't figure it out at all, the British who were shrinking in the concession dared to do something to the Imperial Army, it was really a lantern in the toilet to find (death).

"Returning to Your Excellency, the news is indeed true, the British have now strengthened their vigilance, and the Fifth Squadron has now arrived at the scene of the incident, and has asked whether to attack the British Concession and punish those hateful British! Avenge the more than 20 warriors of the Imperial Army of the Liyuan Squad! Tsukada bowed his head with a solemn face.

"No!" Matsui Shigen frowned and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "At this stage, the Great Empire can't start a war with the British!" ”

"But, General, the abominable British have declared war on our Empire! Why can't the Imperial Army give a counterattack? Tsukada was very puzzled and said indignantly.

"This matter should not be so simple, the British should not stupidly take the initiative to attack the imperial army, with the little strength in their concession, the imperial army wants to destroy them, it is easy!" Matsui Ishine said in a deep voice: "You must know that the British Empire and the United States have a close relationship, if we declare war on the British, then it will inevitably offend the Americans, and now is the critical moment of the Empire's war against China, it is really not appropriate to make extraneous branches, especially the steel and oil needed for the Imperial Holy War, which need to be imported from the United States." ”

"Is that all? The more than twenty imperial warriors of the Liyuan team died in vain? "Tsukada attacked the unwilling way.

"Of course not, immediately order the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the British, ask what is going on, and let the British give me an explanation of this imperial army!" Matsui Shigen commanded in a cold tone: "In addition, order the fifth squadron, not to act lightly, our main energy now must be reserved to deal with the Chinese Tiger Regiment!" ”

"Hai, I understand!" Tsukada suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

……………… British Concession, Consulate General.

Colonel William had long since fallen asleep, and now he was fully armed, ready to use his knightly spirit to protect the British Empire's concession in Shanghai and the safety of the British Empire's diaspora.

Just as Colonel William was fully dressed and ready to go out to personally direct the preparation for the battle, his adjutant Second Lieutenant Charlemond rushed in again in a hurry, and before he could salute, he was very sad and hurriedly said: "Sir, no, the lone camp has also been attacked by unknown forces, all the Chinese prisoners of war held in the lone camp have disappeared, and more than 20 of our guards have also been killed. "The British regarded Xie Jinyuan and the four hundred heroes as their prisoners of war.

"What?" Colonel William's eyes were full of horror, and he grabbed Charlie's collar and roared in disbelief: "What did you say? ”

"Sir, the lone military camp has been attacked by unknown forces, and the Chinese prisoners of war in custody have disappeared." Charlie Mund replied with a shudder.

"Bastard! Who did it? Colonel William roared angrily: "Go investigate immediately." ”

"Sir, our people issued two steel helmets at the scene, and I guess it must have been done by those damned people!" Charlie Mund Road.

"A steel helmet?" Colonel William thought of the attack on the outpost, and immediately nodded heavily: "Yes, it must be a devil!" These hateful damn people must have done it! ”

At this moment, another middle-aged Englishman hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Colonel William, he said with a solemn face: "William, what's going on?" Just now, my diplomat called and asked why the British Empire was provoking an attack on them. ”

"Now they are asking us to give them an explanation and explanation, otherwise they will send troops to capture the concession!" The middle-aged Brit asked angrily.

"No, no, Mr. Hans, it wasn't us who took the initiative to provoke and attack Yu himself, but the damned Yue himself who first attacked our lone camp and outpost where Chinese prisoners of war were held! Kill me, we also have dozens of soldiers. Colonel William said angrily.

"What? Said that I attacked the lone army camp and our outpost? The Englishman named Hans asked in surprise.

"Yes, we found two Yue-style steel helmets in the Lone Army Camp, which is enough to prove that it was Yue himself who attacked the Lone Army Camp!" Colonel William nodded angrily.

"William, please give me the two steel helmets immediately, and I'll go find myself." Hansdau.

"No problem." William shrugged his shoulders and immediately said to Adjutant Charlie, "Charlie, you go and find the two steel helmets and give them to Mr. Hans." ”

"Yes!" Charlie stood up and took the order to leave.

………………… Just when the British and Yue himself were accusing each other, Qiao Anbang led more than 400 "devils" along the street towards Hongqiao Airport, Zhabei is more than 10 kilometers away from Hongqiao Airport in a straight line, if it is a straight march, with the foot strength of 400 brave soldiers, these veterans of a hundred battles, they can arrive in an hour.

However, due to the blockage of streets and buildings, the distance was greatly extended, and there were still some devil patrols on the road, so the march was very slow.

It took an hour, Qiao Anbang and they had only advanced less than half the distance, Qiao Anbang looked at the map and frowned: "This can't be done, when we arrive at the airport, the sky is bright, that will be very unfavorable for us." ”

"So what do we do? At this marching speed, it will take at least two hours to reach Hongqiao Airport. Xie Jinyuan gasped.

Qiao Anbang pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Xie Jinyuan and the others: "You guys wait for me here, I'll go ahead to explore the way!" ”

"Well, stay safe." Xie Jinyuan nodded in response, and then Qiao Anbang took Jiang Jun and a few other soldiers to quickly touch the front, and when they reached the corner of the street, Qiao Anbang immediately turned around and went into a small alley.

"What are we going to do?" Jiang Jun followed and asked.

"There's no choice but to use our planes for airlifting." Qiao Anbang gritted his teeth and said. Although the aircraft can only transport thirty or forty people at a time, it is still faster than they can move forward on foot.

After thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Anbang made up his mind decisively, because in his opinion, Xie Jinyuan and the four hundred heroes are loyal and righteous people with the ambition of the country, and they are more life-saving to them, if they don't want to, they should not reveal the news that they have "advanced aircraft".

After making up his mind, Qiao Anbang silently thought in his heart for a while, and it didn't take long for Yali to drive the aircraft and quietly land on the street at the entrance of the alley, fortunately, it was late at night, and there was no one here, otherwise it would be a big trouble. , Jiang Jun and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the miraculous advanced aircraft appear again, obviously they were happy because they had such an advanced aircraft.

After explaining to Yali, Qiao Anbang immediately called Xie Jinyuan and the four hundred heroes over.

When Xie Jinyuan saw the unknown object in front of him, he was very shocked and said, "Sir, what is this?" ”

"This is the most advanced aircraft in the United States, and this is the plane we came to rescue you!" Jo Anbang explained.

"Advanced aircraft?" Xie Jinyuan looked at Qiao Anbang in surprise and made sure that he was not joking, so he stepped forward and looked up and down around the flying machine.

The other fighters were also very curious, and crowded forward one by one.

"Head Xie, the situation is urgent, we will take this advanced plane to Hongqiao Airport, this is much faster!" Qiao Anbang immediately stepped forward.

"On this plane?" Xie Jinyuan couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it can load about a platoon of troops at a time, and it is expected that our people can be airlifted all ten times, and he can take off and land vertically, so it is very fast." Qiao Anbang nodded and explained briefly.

"Well, well, everything is up to the chief." Xie Jinyuan nodded suspiciously.

At this time, Yali had already opened the hatch of the aircraft, and Qiao Anbang immediately waved his hand and said: "Jiang Jun, you take the guards to the surrounding platoon to be on guard, and the other brothers hurry up and board the plane, one platoon at a time, hurry!" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Jun suddenly agreed, and immediately dispersed with the guards to stand on guard.

The first batch of soldiers began to board the plane in an orderly manner under the command of Xie Jinyuan and Qiao Anbang, watching the aircraft quickly take off and disappear into the night sky, Xie Jinyuan was in a trance, and said with emotion: "The American planes are so advanced, and I will suggest to the principal in the future that we should buy a few more." ”
