Rise From Eight Hundred

It’s early morning in Songhu on November 1st.

For everyone on this battlefield, there is no doubt that their emotions are extremely complicated.

The Japanese are happy but a little unwilling.

Chinese people, sadness is intertwined with hope.

The Westerner breathed a sigh of relief but was a little confused.

The Chinese who were still defending yesterday have escaped. Where else can they go except the concession? The key is, as the master, why don’t they know?

But no matter what mixed emotions everyone had, the Japanese army finally occupied the Sihang Warehouse, which also meant that the entire Songhu City was completely under the control of the Japanese army.

The Chinese people have not left, they are still waiting for a miracle to happen.

Maybe those Guojun brothers came out of nowhere to be remembered by the Japanese!

The Chinese can think of this, but the Japanese certainly can't think of it. No matter how hard their heads are, they have learned to be smarter after being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the warehouse defenders for so many days!

At least 100 engineers entered the warehouse. Their mission was to search the entire warehouse. In addition to looking for clues as to where the defenders could have gone, more importantly, they wanted to find any explosives that the defenders might have planted.

Hard work paid off, and the Japanese professional-level engineers finally found what the Japanese colonel was worried about.

A full 100 kilograms of explosives and five or six boxes of grenades were buried two meters below the two main load-bearing columns in the center of the building.

The Chinese were smart but were mistaken. They piled a large number of potatoes there, thinking that they would make the experienced imperial engineers ignore that position?

The first floor was bombed like that, who would pile precious food there haphazardly?

The Japanese engineer lieutenant, who instinctively felt something was wrong, ordered the potatoes to be moved away. He knew that these potatoes, which were full of doubts at first glance, also contained dangers.

There were booby traps set up in the pile of potatoes. During the process of moving the potatoes, a grenade mixed in them emitted green smoke. Although the cautious Japanese engineers got down quickly enough, the potatoes that were knocked away by the explosion of the grenade were still terrifying. .

If it weren't for the helmet protecting his head, the Japanese engineer lieutenant who led all this had reason to believe that it would definitely not be as simple as having his head covered.

There were actually four grenades in the two piles of potatoes. One of them was connected in a series. It was blown up more than 20 meters before exploding, killing three of the engineers who had been preparing to hide 20 meters away.

Continuous "boom" explosions stirred up the mood of the somewhat disappointed Chinese people.

The middle-aged man in suit and the rickshaw driver, who had figured it out, did not leave and returned to the street, eagerly waiting for the miracle to happen again.

The Japanese infantrymen had already withdrawn from the warehouse according to military orders and were waiting for the engineers to clear the place. When they heard the explosion inside, they felt that their commander was so wise and wise for the first time.

The Japanese engineers who carried their heads to clear obstacles for the combat soldiers finally found the wires used for blasting after paying the price of two deaths and one injury. They were also buried deep in the soil and extended outside the warehouse to the other side of the river.

It may be that the Chinese felt that using booby traps to detonate explosives buried deep under load-bearing columns was not safe enough, so they used this additional method of detonation.

The despicable Westerners and the Chinese Baga had indeed conspired. After receiving the news, Wakiitajiro directly gave the Queen of the Empire on which the sun never sets to death in his heart.

This also once again confirms the fact that the Chinese snorkeled and escaped to the Western Concession last night.

Although the Chinese made a mistake and let the engineering troops find the location of the explosives, the power of the more than 100 kilograms of explosives and the explosion of hundreds of grenades could definitely collapse the Sihang Warehouse.

And the reason why more explosives were not installed to blow up a building like last time was probably because it was too close to the concession, and the two hundred meters away were their own people, or maybe because After fighting for so long, the explosives have been almost used up, but the Chinese even used grenades!

Although there is no one in the warehouse, and even the weapons are missing, it remains to be verified. After more than half an hour of searching, another room containing more than a dozen boxes of grenades and damaged Maxim heavy machine guns and Sulotong was found. The basement of the machine gun and two carefully disguised tunnels.

Also, a lot of oil was spilled all over the warehouse, including non-flammable diesel and highly volatile gasoline. Obviously, the Chinese who could not take away the oil were trying to use artillery fire to ignite the oil and burn down the warehouse.

But their attempt failed. The strong shell of the warehouse still blocked a large amount of artillery fire. Except for a few houses near the outside, there were fires, but they were quickly swept away by the air waves.

Diesel that has seeped into the soil on the ground is not easily ignited as long as you don't deliberately throw a torch. Gasoline, which is highly volatile, has become less dangerous as time goes by.

As long as no one is here specifically to light the fire.

The Imperial Japanese Army all has flashlights, so there is no need for low-end lighting like torches. There is no need to worry too much about this.

In addition, the engineering force has fully confirmed that the warehouse is basically safe.

Jiro Wakiba has already reported to the division headquarters and decided to use this place as the headquarters of the 36th Infantry Regiment, and it was approved.

After receiving the inspection report from the engineering unit, Wakibajiro proudly invited Colonel Kimura Shaoo to enter the Sihang Warehouse to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

He decided to raise the regimental flag representing victory in front of tens of thousands of Chinese people who had not yet left on the south bank of the Suzhou River.

Colonel Kimura Shaoxiong declined the invitation of Jiro Wakiita, who was ready to show off his victory, on the grounds that he had to report to the brigade commander and the division commander immediately, and left with his guards.

Jiro Wakiita took Makino Shun and his two majors and battalion commanders into the Sihang Warehouse. Only Major Toyota Hide, who was completely abandoned, did not have this honor.

For such a glorious victory, the Japanese colonel hoped that enough people would watch.

All infantry squadrons participating in the battle were required to select 20 brave officers and soldiers to enter the warehouse to participate in the flag-raising ceremony.

Both tunnels were wet, and the water stains on the earth walls also showed that they were flooded with water before. It should have been drained last night. This made the Japanese engineers roughly understand where the so-called flooding accident two days ago came from.

It turned out that it was not their bad luck to dig through the underground river, but it was caused by the artificial diversion of water by the warehouse guards.

This made Jiro Wakiita blush when he entered the warehouse. After a long time, all his tactics were countered by the Chinese.

They really didn't give any face! The good mood of the Japanese colonel was instantly gone.

As for why the Chinese cut off the waterway to drain the water in the tunnel, it was probably to try to escape from the tunnel, but after the engineers climbed down to explore, there was no one except waist-deep mud, and even the explosives that the Chinese liked to use were not found.

It's also true that the Chinese are not the skilled engineers of the Great Japanese Empire who dig holes. It's probably okay to dig 20 to 30 meters. If you want to dig hundreds of meters, you have to study for a few years first! When it comes to digging holes, it's still our engineers of the Great Japanese Empire.

It has been confirmed that the Chinese cannot escape through the tunnel, so they can only sneak into the Suzhou River through the waterway and then enter the concession.

No evidence is the best evidence.

Jiro Wakiita already has a plan in his mind.

Only in this way can he apply to the Expeditionary Army Headquarters to enter the concession armed to chase those Chinese.

This time, those Westerners will no longer have an excuse to stop them. The blood of the Great Japanese Army must not be shed in vain.

Jiro Wakiita had even thought that even if they hid well enough, those hateful Chinese who watched the battle and cheered for them every day on the south bank of Suzhou River would have to pay the price for it. Whoever he said was the real culprit was the real culprit.

Even if he just randomly captured a few hundred people and shot them here, he could still vent his anger, right?

Of course, before that, he had to complete the most important task - raising the regiment flag.

The Chinese retreated in a panic, and the cloth strips with torn military uniforms as flags were still on the flagpole. As the regiment commander, he had to tear off the messy cloth strips, and then, in front of all the elite officers and soldiers of the 36th Infantry Regiment and those poor Chinese, he solemnly raised the regiment flag personally given by His Majesty the Emperor.

12 infantry squadrons, 3 heavy machine gun squadrons, 1 artillery squadron, 320 people were drawn out, plus 30 people from the flag guard team of the infantry squadron directly under the regiment, which were considered the elite and backbone of the remaining more than 1,000 people in the 36th Infantry Regiment. Even though the roof had been blasted into a mess by artillery fire, they still stood upright.

In front of these elite Japanese troops stood a colonel, a lieutenant colonel and two majors. All captains and above put on the three-piece suit again, white gloves, long leather boots, and command knives.

Although they had just experienced a war, both their faces and military uniforms were still covered with gunpowder and blood, but this added some iron-blooded meaning to these Japanese troops.

"This is the most tenacious iron-blooded army of the empire I have ever seen. Although they have suffered failures, they have regained the imperial glory they once lost under the sunshine of China's autumn."

This is what Shuichi Fukuyama, who was taking pictures of this group of iron-blooded soldiers on the roof, described in his notebook.

This is the last record of this military reporter.

Commonly known as: last words!

. . . . . . . . . .

ps: Fengyue is depressed, really depressed. I talked to the editor for a long time an hour ago. Because there is still no Sanjiang this week, the editor asked Fengyue to wait another week, so it cannot be put on the shelves on June 1st. That means that no matter whether Fengyue can be on Sanjiang, the book will not be put on the shelves until it reaches about 500,000 words.

Oh my God! Will Fengyue become the first level 5 author on Qidian who has written for more than three months and reached 500,000 words before it is put on the shelves? This is really a sad story. Book friends may be very happy, at least they don't have to spend money, but Fengyue also has to raise a child, right? I originally wanted to earn some royalties to subsidize the family expenses, this... . . . . I will just eat steamed buns and eat cold boiled water for the next half month.

Didn’t you see that the chapter is named "Final Writing"? The sadness is beyond words! Book friends who don’t vote, and those who plan to read pirated copies in the future, will your conscience hurt?
