"Hey!"
As a muffled gunshot sounded, the sky above the north side of Sihang Warehouse became as bright as day, while the Suzhou River was covered by the shadow cast by the warehouse, making it look even darker.
At this time, the Japanese army discovered that there was no trace of the No. 214 warship parked on the Sixing Warehouse.
The Japanese commander was shocked.
Just in the afternoon, he received an order from the Japanese commander in China, General Matsui Iwane, not to bombard the Sihang Warehouse with heavy artillery to avoid causing dissatisfaction among the Western concessions. The Brussels Conference was about to be held, so as to avoid causing trouble as much as possible.
General Matsui Iwane said that China's dispatch of troops to garrison the Sihang Warehouse was just a plan for failure. At the same time, he also wanted countries that were about to attend the Brussels Conference to see that the Chinese army had not given up resistance in Shanghai. He hoped that To gain support and sympathy from the world.
Therefore, General Matsui decided to attack the Sihang Warehouse at 8 o'clock in the morning on October 26. He wanted to defeat the Chinese troops stationed at the Sihang Warehouse under the watchful eyes of the concessions of various countries, and let the countries around the world see how vulnerable the Chinese troops were.
Regarding the fact that Colonel Zhou Zhihan, the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, announced that he wanted to challenge the best pilots in Japan, General Matsui was very angry and ordered that ace pilots be quickly transferred from Japan to arrive tomorrow. He must shoot down the No. 214 ship in front of the world's powers. Fight to save the face of the Imperial Air Force. The last time ace versus ace, Yamashita Shichiro humiliated the empire.
In the last ace vs. ace battle, the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force actually flew an imperial fighter plane and defeated the imperial ace pilot. This incident caused an uproar in the country, and even the emperor was deeply ashamed.
Therefore, Matsui Iwane ordered that no one should use heavy artillery to destroy Ship Battle No. 214. They must wait for the empire's ace pilot to arrive in Shanghai and shoot down Ship Battle No. 214 in front of the world to save the empire's face!
Matsui Iwane also ordered that even if the imperial army captured the Sihang Warehouse on the morning of the 26th, the No. 214 must be retained.
In Ship Battle No. 214, he had to be shot down in the air by the empire's ace pilot.
The powerful Japanese Air Force cannot be defeated by the small and weak Chinese Air Force. This must be confirmed to the world!
However, the commander of the Changgu Brigade who surrounded and attacked Sihang Warehouse believed that he could first use Lingchi prisoners to weaken the morale of the defenders of Sihang Warehouse, and then take advantage of the cover of night to launch a wave of attacks to directly undermine the morale of the Chinese soldiers and allow them to stay. There is panic in the warehouse. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will capture the Sihang Warehouse in one fell swoop.
Just now, Zhao Fugui fired a signal flare to attract everyone's attention. When the No. 214 ship battle took off, the Japanese army heard the sound of the propeller and engine of the aircraft. However, due to imperfect preparations, they had no time to launch flares into the air. At that time, they could only turn on the searchlight, but were Killed by Chinese snipers.
The Japanese have been worried about whether the No. 214 Warship Warship on the roof of the Sihang Warehouse is still parked in place, so they prepared flares and launched them immediately.
"The Japanese fired flares!"
The Chinese people on the south bank of the Suzhou River were lying on the ground or hiding behind the bridge piers and shouted, "Commander Xie, the light from the north of the warehouse is so strong that the people's eyes will turn white and they will not be able to see the Japanese in the Suzhou River."
Xie Jinyuan, who was standing in front of the warehouse window, said to Shangguan Zhibiao and others: "Tell all the brothers to act according to the plan! The waterway into the basement of the warehouse is wide open to let the little devils in. Guard the south wall of the warehouse and don't let the little devils come in." The devils climbed up the wall.”
"yes!"
Shangguan Zhibiao and others turned around and left with their guns in hand.
Xie Jinyuan took out his binoculars and looked in the darkness at the Lingchi scene 500 meters away where a dozen Chinese soldiers were hanging.
In the concession on the south bank, a dozen foreign observers stood upstairs, looking at the other side of the river just around the corner.
The sky above the north side of Sihang Warehouse was like daylight under the illumination of Japanese incendiary bombs.
At this time, some of the Japanese troops in the Suzhou River on the south side of the warehouse had entered the underground waterway of the Sihang Warehouse and were quietly sneaking to the basement entrance of the Sihang Warehouse; the other part of the Japanese army knew that they had been discovered and immediately fired the huge bombs thrown by the flares. They docked under the cover of shadows and prepared to enter through the windows on the first and second floors of the warehouse. They cooperated with the Japanese troops who entered the warehouse basement from the waterway and disrupted the deployment of the Chinese defenders in the warehouse.
An observer looked at the flares rising in the sky: "Fuck...the Japanese are really insidious and vicious. They deliberately hung the Chinese soldier Ling Chi on the wooden pile in front of the Sihang Warehouse. This could not only demoralize the Chinese defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, but also You can divert everyone's attention to secretly attack Chencang, and first send troops to quietly swim across the Suzhou River.
Now, flares are sent over the heads of the Chinese defenders to cover the sneak attack soldiers in the Suzhou River, so that the Sihang Warehouse is in the light, and the Japanese army is waiting for an opportunity to attack in the dark.
This move of the Japanese is really very clever. They claim to be the best army in the world, and they are indeed very clever and outstanding. "
Another observer nodded and said: "The Japanese know that Xie Jinyuan cannot sit idly by and let their soldiers be hung up in Lingchi. They will definitely send someone to deal with it.
The Japanese army used a trick to force the Chinese to fire the first shot, and then they could justifiably use the Chinese soldiers to shoot first as an excuse to launch a sudden attack on the Sihang Warehouse... Hey... look... that huge one above the Lingchi site What is the black shadow..."
Time goes back to when Zhao Fugui fired the signal flare.
Ship Battle No. 214 took off from the roof of the Sixing Warehouse. Zhou Zhihan accelerated to the southwest, then turned the nose of the aircraft, stalled, turned off the engine, and flew quietly towards the place where more than a dozen Chinese soldiers were hanging. In the air, he I have clearly seen every Japanese ambush.
At this time, the screams of the Chinese soldiers hanging on the dozens of wooden stakes were still terrifying. Several little devils with bowls wrapped around their heads began to kill more than a dozen Chinese soldiers under the orders of the Japanese commander. Get busy.
A dozen soldiers had wounds all over their bodies, but there was no blood on the ground beneath their bodies.
The little devil was so cruel. He held a strange knife in one hand and a soldering iron pulled out of the fire in the other. He pulled out the knife and put it on the soldering iron...
"Brothers of the 88th Division, please help us. I will never forget your great kindness in the next life... Little devil, I'm going to kill you, the eight times the ancestors of Cao Ni, you will die easily..."
The soldiers who were hung screamed for death, and the unbearable pain in their bodies came one after another.
Just when the Japanese fired flares, a veteran who looked up in mourning and begged God to give him a bullet suddenly had radiance in his eyes, and his whole body was like a flashback: "Brothers of the 88th Division, we will see you in the next life. I will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay my brother who rewarded me with death..."
It turned out that through the dim light of the flares in the distance, the veteran saw an aircraft swooping over him. In an instant, he saw the bright blue sky and white sun emblem on the huge wings, illuminated by the flares.
"Brothers, see you in the next life!" Zhou Zhihan's eyes were wet with a military salute. He started the engine and began to dive. His right thumb trembled slightly as he pressed the machine gun firing button. "Brothers, I will give you a ride. Don't blame me. See you in the next life... "
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The tracer bullets pulled out two flaming red bullet rains in the night sky and sprayed out along the row of wooden piles. The powerful attack power smashed all the Chinese soldiers and Japanese in that row.
Zhou Zhihan gritted his teeth, pulled up the fighter plane, made a sharp turn at a small angle, flew over the Suzhou River, turned around, turned on the sound device specially installed in front of the nose, made a whining and harsh sound, and began to dive to a hundred meters above the river.
"You little devil, go to hell!"
Zhou Zhihan's face was covered with tears, and his face became ferocious. He pressed the machine gun firing button on the joystick with angry fingers. Two red bullets danced on the Suzhou River. He got in and was about to climb ashore. The bodies of the Japanese exploded, burned, wreaked havoc, and were brutal...
