"You little devil, please give grandpa a good time...Brothers in the warehouse, please help us...Brothers...can't stand it anymore...give me a shot...become a cow or a horse in the next life." To repay you... I can’t stand it any longer... Help us give us a grenade... Brothers of the 88th Division..."
As soon as I walked out of the basement, there were bursts of screams and screams that sounded like they were coming from hell, which made Zhou Zhi's hair stand on end. These were the pleadings of those soldiers who had been delayed by the Japanese army, begging the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse to give them a shot to kill them.
"Sir!" Squad leader Zhu, a Shandong veteran of the sniper squad, ran over with a Type 97 sniper rifle pointed at the ground. "I took a few brothers to kill those Japs in the dark, and by the way, sent those who were hanged to death. Get up, brother."
The Shandong veteran is young, 27 or 28 years old, but he has been in the army for a long time and is respectfully called the Shandong veteran. He is the squad leader of the sniper squad. He speaks standard Shandong dialect, has good facial features and a strong body, about 1.78 meters tall.
Xie Jinyuan didn't say anything. He reached out and took the telescope from Wan Lianqing's hand. He stood next to a window on the fifth floor and looked toward the place where the screams came from five or six hundred meters away.
Zhou Zhihan also immediately took out his telescope.
About 500 meters away from Sihang Warehouse, close to the Suzhou River, there is an open space between several houses. The lights are bright, and there are more than a dozen wooden stakes buried in the ground, and a wing body is hung on each wooden stake. Each of the men wears an M3 German-style steel helmet on their head, indicating that they are all soldiers.
There were several men with fleshy faces, hair scrolls with red letters on a white background like a filial son, and each held a sharp, strange-shaped knife in their hands. Every time they came to a soldier, the soldier would make a heart-stopping sound. The screams, the sound of which was so bloody that the soul lost its soul, could be heard for miles.
On the banks of the Suzhou River, some bold onlookers stood by the river and watched the tragic events happening on the other side of the river, daring to be angry but afraid to speak out.
"These ruthless little devils are too vicious. The knives they hold in their hands are even more sinister. They destroy the meat inside and take it out with the knife. The surface is only damaged a little. Then they use a soldering iron to seal it to prevent bleeding. After a while, I can’t die. As long as I don’t hurt my vitals, I won’t die at noon tomorrow.”
A familiar voice sounded in Zhou Zhihan's ears.
Sheep crutch?
Zhou Zhihan turned his face.
Sure enough, it was a sheep's crutch, with a tall body, a long face that was both righteous and evil, covered with weather, and an extinguished cigarette butt in its mouth.
Zhou Zhihan asked directly: "What can you do?
Yangguai: "There's no way! The sniper rifle can't hit it. If we send troops there, we'll be ambushed by the Japanese. Whoever goes there will die. With these screams, the fighting spirit of the brothers in Sihang Warehouse will be lost even before tomorrow morning." Most of them. I just walked around in the dark, and many people wanted to throw and grab them and escape. This little devil's trick is too poisonous."
"Let me go!" The Shandong veteran looked at Xie Jinyuan eagerly, "Commander, let me take a few brothers to kill these brats and help those brothers to have fun."
"No, no one can go now. If you go, you will die. You are not allowed to act rashly for the time being. Even if you go, you have to think of a foolproof plan to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice." Xie Jinyuan said with an indifferent expression, but everyone could see the anger in his eyes. , "The Japs must have an ambush, and it's ceasefire time. As long as we shoot first, the Japs will seize the opportunity, accuse us of violating the temporary ceasefire agreement, and then attack immediately."
"Sir! But we can't just watch them being tortured and wailing to death, right? If this continues, how can we fight this battle?"
As the upright Shandong veteran said, he squatted in the corner and held his head in his hands.
In fact, he knew that what the group leader said was right. If he sent someone to give those brothers a lift, he would not only be unable to give them a lift, but the people he sent would also have to give them a lift, and it would also give the Japanese an excuse to attack in advance.
The Japanese are too vicious.
It would be fine if the soldiers sent out died in battle, but if even those who were alive or dead were caught by the Japanese, then...
Xie Jinyuan did not answer. He knew that if the little devils were allowed to destroy the Chinese soldiers there, it would have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse. There would even be deserters in the middle of the night. Once someone led the escape, the consequences would be disastrous. .
Moreover, the people on the south bank of the Suzhou River are also watching what is happening on the north bank of the river.
What would the people on the other side of the river think if they refused to save him?
But to send people out now is to risk death.
At this moment, the Japanese trumpet sounded again, and the traitor shouted loudly: "Brothers in the Sihang Warehouse, listen up. The imperial army has said that as long as you surrender, the imperial army will forget the blame and give you good food and drink and generous travel expenses." Go home, if you don't surrender before dawn, these soldiers who hang up Lingchi will be your fate..."
"Sir!" Shangguan Zhibiao, the commander of the first company, said to Xie Jinyuan, "The people on the other side are looking at us..."
Xie Jinyuan stretched out his hand to stop Shangguan Zhibiao: "Order the troops to enter combat status!
Lei Xiong, commander of the machine gun company, led a platoon to secretly dig out of the warehouse, advance 50 meters, and guard the front of the warehouse; the second platoon guarded the north side of the warehouse, and the third platoon served as a reserve; the second company guarded the first floor of the warehouse as the backing of the first platoon! "
"Yes, sir!"
Lei Xiong Junli, he is a Northeastern man, with a standard Chinese character face, a strong build, and he is usually full of swear words.
Deng Ying, commander of the second company, also stood at attention with military salute.
"The soldiers of the company were divided into two groups, all the way out from the sewer at the bottom of the warehouse, along the bank of Suzhou River to surround the south side of the Japanese. Remember, everyone is not allowed to wear helmets to avoid reflection on the water. Not all the people on the south bank are patriotic countrymen;
Another route secretly passes under the Nicheng Bridge, enters Guangfu North Road, and detours back to the north side of the Japs. After our snipers send off those brothers, if the Japs attack, you will take the Japs' retreat. If If the Japanese don't attack, you'll just go back the way you came.
Remember, snipers are not killing Japanese soldiers for the time being, they are only sending our brothers on their way. "
"Yes, sir!"
Shangguan reaches the standard and stands upright. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle, but there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows that made him extraordinary.
Zhou Zhihan had excellent eyesight. From the telescope, he could see countless Japanese troops hiding in the darkness, and some Japanese troops were making circuitous formations, forming a large bag, waiting for the Chinese defenders in the Sihang Warehouse to penetrate.
Due to the special location of the Sixing Warehouse, there are only a few ways out. Therefore, the attack routes of several teams sent by Xie Jinyuan are already ambushed by the Japanese army. Once the battle starts, the casualties of the Chinese army will be Very tragic.
"Thank you, Commander!" Zhou Zhihan put down the telescope, looked at Xie Jinyuan and said, "It is too dark at this time. Send out troops. The Japanese army is in the dark and our army is in the light. This is very detrimental to our army. Therefore, I request that the fighter planes be upgraded." Go out into battle and use aerial firepower to catch the Japanese by surprise!"
