Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 169

Chapter 169 The final chapter!

It was early morning in Songhu on November 1st.

For everyone on this battlefield, there is no doubt that they have extremely complicated emotions.

The Japanese are happy but a little unwilling.

Chinese people, sadness is intertwined with expectations.

The Westerners breathed a sigh of relief but were a little confused.

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

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

The Chinese people have not left, they are still looking forward to a miracle.

Perhaps 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 they are on the head and being rubbed on the ground by the warehouse defenders for so many days, they have learned to be smarter!

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

Efforts paid off, and the professional engineers of the Japanese army finally found what the Japanese colonel was worried about.

100 kilograms of explosives and five or six boxes of grenades were buried by the Chinese 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 a chain grenade. It was blown up more than 20 meters before exploding, killing three of the engineers who had been preparing to hide 20 meters away.

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

　　The middle-aged man in suit and the rickshaw driver did not leave after having figured it out, and returned to the street corner, 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 held their heads high 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.

That may be because 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 have indeed conspired. After receiving the news, Wakibajiro directly gave the queen of the Empire where the sun never sets to XX in his heart.

This also once again confirms the fact that the Chinese people dived 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 more than 100 kilograms of explosives and the explosive power of hundreds of grenades could definitely blow up 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. Apparently, the Chinese who could not take away the oil were trying to let artillery fire 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 that had fire, but they were quickly swept away by the air waves.

Diesel that has seeped into the soil on the ground is not so easy to ignite as long as you don't deliberately throw a torch. The highly volatile gasoline has become less dangerous as time goes by.

As long as no one is here specifically to light a 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 reported to the division headquarters and decided to use this place as the wing headquarters of the 36th Infantry Regiment, and it was approved.

After receiving the inspection report from the engineering unit, Jiro Wakiita proudly invited Colonel Shao Kimura 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.

On the grounds that he wanted to report to the brigade commander and division commander immediately, Colonel Kimura Shaoxiong declined the invitation of Jiro Wakiba, who was preparing to win the victory, and left with his bodyguard.

And Jiro Wakiita took Makino Shun and his two major captains into the Sihang Warehouse. Only Major Toyoda Hide, who was completely abandoned, did not have this honor.

Such a glorious victory, the Japanese commander hoped to be watched by enough people.

All infantry squadrons participating in the battle were required to select twenty 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 earthen walls also showed that they had been filled with water before, and that all the water should have been drained out last night. This allowed the Japanese engineers to roughly understand what they said two days ago. Where do water leakage accidents come from?

It turned out that it was not my own unlucky digging of the underground river, but it was actually caused by the warehouse guards artificially diverting water back into the river.

This made Jiro Wakiba's face flush when he entered the warehouse. He spent a long time thinking that all his tactics were responded to by the Chinese.

You really don't save any face! The Japanese colonel's good mood suddenly disappeared.

As for why the Chinese cut off the water channels and drained the water in the tunnels, they probably tried to escape from the tunnels. However, after the engineer death squad climbed down to explore, except for the waist-deep mud, there was not a single figure inside. Even the Chinese like to use None of the explosives were found.

Thinking about it, the Chinese are not the skilled engineers of the Empire of Japan. It is probably possible to dig twenty or thirty meters. If you want to dig a few hundred meters, you should study for a few years first! When it comes to digging holes, it has to be our Imperial Japanese Engineers.

It has been determined that it is impossible for the Chinese to escape through the tunnel, so they can only sneak into the Suzhou River through the waterway and then enter the concession area.

No evidence is the best evidence.

Wakibajiro already had a case in mind.

Only in this way can he apply to the dispatched army headquarters to enter the concession with arms to pursue the fleeing Chinese.

This time, those Westerners no longer had any excuse to stop them. The blood of the Imperial Japanese Army must not be shed in vain.

Jiro Wakibata has even thought that even if they hide well enough, those hateful Chinese who watch the battle and shout for them on the south bank of the Suzhou River every day will have to pay the price. Whoever he says is the one who is the one.

Even if you just randomly grab a few hundred people and shoot them here, you can still express your anger, right?

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

The Chinese retreated in an extremely hasty manner, and the strip of cloth with the broken military uniforms as the flag was still on the flagpole. As the captain of the regiment, he would tear off the messy strip of cloth, and then, in front of all the elite officers and soldiers of the 36th Infantry Regiment and those who In the face of pity for the Chinese people, the regimental flag given by His Majesty the Emperor was solemnly raised.

320 people were mobilized from 12 infantry squadrons, 3 heavy machine gun squadrons, and 1 artillery squadron, plus 30 people from the flag guard team of the infantry squadron directly under the wing, which can be regarded as the elite and the remaining more than 1,000 people of the 36th Infantry Wing. The backbone, even though the roof of the building had been cratered and messed up 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 officers once again put on their pretentious three-piece suits, including white gloves, long leather boots, and command knives.

Even though they had just experienced a big battle, their faces and uniforms were still stained with smoke and blood, but this gave these Japanese soldiers a sense of iron-bloodedness.

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

Shūichi Fukuyama, who was taking pictures of this group of iron-blooded troops on the roof of the building, described it in his notebook.

Then this was the last record recorded by this military reporter.

Commonly known as: the last word!

　　ps: Fengyue is depressed, really depressed. I chatted with 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. Therefore, it will not be available on the shelves on June 1st. That means that regardless of whether Fengyue can go to Sanjiang or not, the book will reach 50 It will be put on the shelves again around 10,000 words.

Oh my God! Will Fengyue become the first level-5 author from Qidian who wrote more than three months to reach 500,000 words before it was published? This is really a sad story. Book lovers may find it very satisfying, at least it doesn't cost money, but Feng Yue also has to raise a child. She originally wanted to earn some royalties to support her family, but this is it. . . . . . In this half month, just eating steamed buns will make you cool off.

Did you name the chapter "Jue Bi" without looking at the chapter title? The sadness is beyond words! Will your conscience hurt if you don't vote and plan to read pirated copies in the future?
