“Your Excellency, the captain, do you mean to put pressure on the Western Concession?” Makino Toshifuku reached his heart, his eyes bursting with brilliance.

"That's right! As the saying goes, success depends on failure. Weal and woe depend on each other, and it all depends on one's own choices." Wakibajiro's eyes showed excitement.

“The Chinese chose a good place. The Sihang Warehouse is backed by the concession. However, in order to avoid escalating the situation and drawing Western countries into the war, we were unable to use our heavy artillery and air superiority to attack it.

 However, the Chinese have missed an extremely important point, that is, to Westerners, they are just a group of indigenous people for them to **** blood from, and they can be abandoned at any time once their own interests are involved.

You said that if our army issues a warning that in order to avoid heavy sacrifices of the Imperial Japanese Army, it will be forced to bombard the Chinese fortress with heavy artillery or even naval gun. Please leave the Western friends in the concession for the time being. How would Westerners react? "

“They will definitely panic and put pressure on my Foreign Minister through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to force the Imperial Army to abandon this plan.” Makino Jun continued the words of his boss who seemed to have become flexible.

“Hehe, as the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby countries. By the time they attack my foreign minister in the consulates of various countries, the concessions may have been blown into rubble by our artillery fire.

Especially when that big guy is not too far away from Sihang Warehouse, and even we ourselves cannot guarantee that artillery fire will not hit there. "Wakiitajiro sneered pitifully.

“Tell me, do those Westerners in the concession dare to take this risk?”

"They must not dare!" Makino Jun had completely understood his boss's thoughts. Admiration flashed across his face. He shook his head and sighed: "The moment they received the news, they must have panicked. On the one hand, they faced our government. Protesting, on the other hand, will inevitably put pressure on the Chinese government and order its defenders to retreat.

 And we can completely conquer the last position of Songhu Zhabei without firing a shot. The dispatched army headquarters can also report to the base camp that we have won a complete victory in the Songhu Battle.

Your Excellency, Captain, this plan is high, it is really high! "

Perhaps a certain regiment commander has not been very reliable in the past two days, but this move is really good. The Japanese lieutenant colonel is definitely sincere this time, without any falsehood.

Perhaps this is the legendary saying "A fool will surely gain something despite all his worries"! This move hit the Chinese people right in the heart.

The Chinese may be determined to fight the empire to the death, but at this juncture, they are still dreaming of waiting for the mediation of the United Nations General Assembly, and they will never offend the Western countries that control the United Nations General Assembly.

"Makino-kun, your analysis is good, but you are only half right." Wakibajiro's eyes grew darker, and he continued to explain his tactical concepts in the face of his subordinates' slightly puzzled doubts.

“Our 36th Infantry Regiment suffered so many sacrifices in this battle. How could we let this Chinese army go so easily and allow it to withdraw into the concession?”

"If you want to cross the Suzhou River to the concession, the only way is the Suzhou River Bridge. What do you mean, the commander of the regiment, when they are ordered to retreat, block the bridge deck with machine guns and shoot them all on the bridge deck?" A fierce light suddenly appeared in Makino Jun's eyes.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel also hated the Chinese garrison to the core. Wakiitajiro's future was basically over, and his regimental deputy might not be in a better position either.

Although he is not the top leader and does not have to bear the responsibility for defeat, it is almost certain that he will not be promoted for several years. This is a fatal blow to a soldier who is ambitious enough to become a general.

 In fact, this is one of the reasons why Japan launched a war against China in advance and completely embarked on the path of independence.

 Without war, how many general posts would there be in peacetime to satisfy the ambitions of these young Japanese soldiers?

“Blocking the bridge is necessary, but just shooting some of its people, how can we relieve the hatred in our hearts?” Jiro Wakiba showed a cold expression on his face.

“There is a Chinese idiom, called the turtle in the urn. As long as the remnants of the Chinese defenders retreat into the Western Concession, they will really become the turtle in the urn.”

“Please clarify your doubts, Your Excellency, the captain.”

"We will continue to put pressure on the Western concessions, asking them to disarm and detain the Chinese troops who fled to the concessions and not to let them go even half a step. If violated, we will have the power to enter the concessions with armed forces to hunt down the Chinese troops. "Wakiitajiro said firmly.

“But the Western Concession will definitely not allow us to do this.” Makino Jun was stunned for a moment. Westerners are not Chinese, and Japan does not really dominate the world. No one dares to disobey an order. Even Japanese lieutenants know this.

“Westerners have a high level of self-esteem, so naturally they will not be easily coerced by us.” Jiro Wakiba nodded. "But, what do you think Chinese people are in the eyes of Westerners?"

 “Your Excellency, the captain is wise!” Makino Jun finally became completely excited.

“The so-called coordination and compromise is just a matter between the strong. The weak Chinese people are not worthy of sitting at the negotiating table, so they are destined to become victims of the balance between the strong.”

"Yo Xi! Makino-kun, please send a message to the division headquarters as soon as you return to the regiment headquarters, and report to the Commander of the Dispatch Army for approval." Jiro Wakibata smiled broadly, looking at the standing tower in the distance that had given him such a headache. The shadow of the dark building is not very sad:

“I have to thank those Chinese people! They taught me a truth: with a little bit of courage, you may only be able to win the battlefield, but you cannot win the war.”

 Toshi Makino.

Can you be any more shameless?

Two cobblers who were suffocated by the stench from their own camp turned into half Zhuge Liang when a breeze blew by the Suzhou River, and came up with a poisonous plan.

Perhaps only Tang Dao knows best. In the past time and space, their poisonous plan was really successful.

Under pressure from the Western Concession, the man who wanted to seek support from the Western world finally ordered this heroic force to withdraw into the Western Concession.

However, the people withdrew, but the Japanese army's vicious plan came true again. The concession authorities chose the side of the Japanese army, which was currently stronger, and disloyally disarmed this heroic force and detained it in the military camp in the concession.

 It took three years until the Pacific War broke out. The Japanese army brazenly sent troops to capture the concession and captured this heroic unit that repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army on the battlefield. Most of them were taken to small islands in the Pacific for labor.

 Nearly 400 people, only a hundred or so survived in the end.

Such an elite soldier who fought a hundred battles did not die on the battlefield, but died due to the machinations of the Japanese and the perfidy of the Western world. It is a tragedy for the entire nation.

 But in this time and space, Tang Dao came.

Tang Dao, who was lying on the bed roll after taking a bath, had not fallen asleep for a long time.

If memory serves me correctly, tonight is the moment when Japan, the Western Concession, and China compete with each other at the top.

 Waiting until daytime tomorrow, the third day of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, there will be a secret message from superiors, ordering the defenders to abandon their positions and withdraw into the concession late at night on the 29th, ending this struggle that has attracted worldwide attention.

 Eight hundred! Destined to become an outcast!

 He had to do something, not just for them but for himself.
