Six minutes.
From the beginning of the fight between the forty first batch of hand-to-hand combat soldiers on both sides, to the shooting down of No. 001 Type 97 Land Combat in the No. 214 ship battle, and then to the killing of 180 of the strongest Japanese samurai, and finally to Shangguan Zhibiao's bayonet, stabbing the last one , the whole process only took six minutes when the Japanese samurai who was still able to fight was trapped in the neck.
Faced with a sudden air attack, the two hundred strongest Japanese warriors were unable to fight back. There was not a single bullet in their 38-guns, and the road where the 180 people were on was relatively narrow and crowded, so they had no chance of being hit by a sudden attack. Dodge everywhere.
All this was originally a conspiracy designed by the Japanese army for the defenders in Sihang Warehouse, but in the end it turned into a self-dug grave for the Japanese army.
The Japanese commander-in-chief, General Matsui Iwane, who came to supervise the battle in person, witnessed what happened in front of him. He said nothing, his face was scary, and his eyes were filled with malice. He was so frightened that the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi and Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi, stood aside and looked at each other. Don't dare to breathe.
"We must kill the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force at all costs!"
As Iwane Matsui spoke, he drew out his sword with a "click" and cut the table in front of him in half.
Teacups and ashtrays were thrown all over the floor, and tea splashed all over Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi's trousers, but he lowered his head and did not dare to move. His temples were covered with sweat and his back was wet.
The Hase brigade commanded by Yoshimaru Kiyotake suffered successive defeats at the hands of Xie Jinyuan, humiliating the empire. He was afraid that Matsui Iwane, who was extremely angry at this time, would cut him in two with a sword.
"If this person is not eliminated, he will be a hidden danger to the empire. No matter what method is used and no matter how much the price is paid, he must be eliminated!"
Matsui Iwane cut the table in half with a knife, and most of the anger in his heart was gone. His face was still gloomy, he put away the knife and said to Hasegawa Kiyoshi and Yoshimaru Kiyoshi.
"Hi! Commander-in-Chief!"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi lowered his head and said.
Yoshimaru Kiyoshi stood next to Hasegawa Kiyoshi and stood at attention, bowing his head to show his obedience. When the commander-in-chief put away the knife, his racing heart calmed down a little, and sweat dripped from the tip of his nose.
"This man was able to injure the Imperial Air Force's God of War and the First God of War with his inferior Type 96 ship-to-ship combat, which shows that his air combat technology has reached the pinnacle."
Matsui Iwane said, put the knife back on the knife holder, stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, then paced back and forth: "How did the Chinese Air Force Chief Instructor do the maneuver just now? At that moment, No. 214 The ship-to-ship battle was like a king cobra flying in the air, showing its fangs and shooting down the No. 001 Type 97 land battle."
Hasegawa Kiyo and Yoshimaru Kiyotake bowed their heads and remained silent, unable to answer the jokes thrown by the commander-in-chief.
Matsui Iwane calmed down his anger and regained his composure. He looked at the No. 214 ship battle that lifted the nose of the aircraft, circled above the four-row warehouse, and then flew into the snowy sky and disappeared. He said: "Let the Army Air Force and the Hainan Air Force must take action." This maneuver has been studied, and there are many Westerners watching the game today. They will definitely also study this cobra-like maneuver, and we must be ahead of the Westerners."
"Hi!"
Kiyoshi Hasegawa agreed again!
At this time, the members of the Western Senior Observation Group were still immersed in the manoeuvres, as if they were coming from outside the world. They did not pay attention at all. On the ground, the two hundred strongest warriors of the Japanese army were bleeding like rivers. Some of them were fighting on the 214th ship. Under the bombardment, the soldiers who were missing arms and legs were wailing loudly, and they no longer had the arrogance of the past.
The past two days have been an eye-opener for Erich Hardmann. Before this, he had never thought that a fighter jet could be driven like this, fly like this, and perform such incredible and breathtaking maneuvers.
Erich Hardmann was still immersed in the excitement of the Cobra just now. He held a model of an airplane in his hand, and over and over again, he was thinking crazily about how the Cobra maneuver was completed.
Several other outstanding pilots were discussing the maneuver in the 214th ship battle just now. The movement was so perfect and impeccable.
At that time, because the No. 001 Type 97 Land Battle was following too closely, when the No. 214 Ship Battle was pulled straight up, the No. 001 Type 97 Land Battle, which was only more than 200 meters away from the No. 214 Ship Battle, had no time to react at all. It could be rushing forward.
The speed of No. 001 Type 97 Land Combat at that time was almost 500 kilometers per hour. The distance between the two planes was more than 200 meters, leaving only less than two seconds for the reaction time of the first god of war, Akamatsu Sadaki.
No one can prevent the fighter plane from overshooting within two seconds when the fighter plane reaches a speed of almost 500 kilometers per hour.
Everyone unanimously determined that even if the number one god of war, Akamatsu Sadaki, knew that the 214th ship battle would make that incredible maneuver, he would not be able to follow the 120-degree upward movement.
The first god of war, Akamatsu Sadaki, couldn't do it.
No. 001 Type 97 Land Combat can't do it either.
All the outstanding pilots from various countries present believed that they could not do it themselves.
The action of Ship Battle No. 214 was perfect, but it was also obviously unreasonable. With the current power and appearance structure of these fighter jets, it was difficult to perform the maneuver just now.
In the end, all the outstanding pilots agreed that the maneuvers performed by the 214th ship were too perfect and too unreasonable.
"Unreasonable? I think it's very reasonable!" Young Erich Hardmann concluded in response to everyone's praise and doubts. "It's because all of us can't do it that we think this maneuver is unreasonable. This is also It just shows that the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force is unique, he has achieved a height that we cannot reach."
Excellent pilots from all over the world also think that young Erich Hardmann's statement is reasonable. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it.
It wasn't until the last Japanese warrior on the ground was stabbed in the neck by Shangguan Zhibiao with a bayonet, and he let out a scream that made people panic, that the observers from various countries on the airship woke up like a dream, and then they silently Count how many of the 200 soldiers sent by Sihang Warehouse to participate in hand-to-hand combat are left.
"God!" Mr. Stanley held a telescope in his hand. "Of the two hundred people sent by the Chinese army, except for a few injured and bleeding, no one died. This is really a miracle from God!"
What happened next made the Japanese lose their face, but they had no choice but to watch helplessly, grit their teeth and swallow it. This should have been a one-sided victory, just because of the existence of Ship Battle No. 214. Let the empire fail miserably.
Western countries are watching. The US Marine Corps and the British Fusiliers are separated between China and Japan. The Japanese can only accept the fact of failure. The Brussels Conference is about to be held, and the Japanese army does not dare to offend Western countries.
Zhao Fugui, Yangguai, Ma Ben, Wu Zhonghua, and Fan Xiaosi held bayonets in their hands and stabbed the necks of every Japanese samurai who fell on the ground, dead or alive, twisted them, and then pulled them out.
At this moment, all the Japanese had the hatred of the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force integrated into their bones. If it were not for the existence of the 214th ship battle, the person who fell on the ground at this moment and would be stabbed with a bayonet after death should be in the Sihang Warehouse. garrison.
It wasn't until there was no one left alive on the Japanese army's position that Shangguan Zhibiao led his brothers back to Sihang Warehouse.
The soldiers sent by the Japanese army to clean up the battlefield were all dejected.
The people on the south bank cheered, and this was a hearty victory. The drummers cheered loudly, and the red lion danced harder, dazzling in the snow.
Today's victory belongs to all Chinese people.
According to yesterday's rules, the two sides will have a one-day truce today.
As a neutral peacemaker, YM abided by the rules. They also forced the Japanese army, who was unwilling to fail, to abide by their commitments and separated the Marine Corps and Welsh Fusiliers between the Sihang Warehouse and the Japanese troops.
Taking this opportunity, the Western observer countries headed by the two countries YM immediately submitted a petition to Matsui Iwane and Sihang Warehouse for the benefit and safety of the concession, demanding that the fighting be stopped for "humanitarian reasons".
In the battle to defend the Sihang Warehouse, the heroic feats of the Chinese army shocked the whole world. Eight hundred people fought hard against hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, making the world respect and sympathize with this heroic force. Therefore, all parties around the world called for The two sides agreed to a ceasefire.
Under pressure from all parties around the world, on October 30, 1937, with the mediation of YM countries, the Japanese army represented by Matsui Iwane and the Chinese represented by Xie Jinyuan sat down at the negotiating table together.
It was General Henry Irving and Lieutenant General Charles who presided over the peace talks at Sihang Warehouse.
The Japanese army promised to let Xie Jinyuan lead all the defenders of Shihang Warehouse to safely exit Shanghai from the Western Concession.
But Zhou Zhihan, who was present at the meeting, knew about the Japanese army's intentions and the historical event that at the last moment, Western countries, under pressure from the Japanese army, disarmed Xie Jinyuan and others.
So Zhou Zhihan proposed that Western countries must ensure that all the defenders of Sihang Warehouse safely evacuate Shanghai and return to the 88th Division.
Matsui Iwane readily agreed to Zhou Zhihan's request, but he had one condition...
October 30, 1937, in the evening.
The streets and alleys of Shanghai are filled with the sound of little newsboys selling newspapers:
"Excuse me..." During the peace talks between China and Japan, the Chinese army withdrew from the Sihang Warehouse on October 31. According to the Japanese request, the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, as the last Chinese soldier to leave Shanghai, will fly his No. 214 battleship , flying around Shanghai..."

Sihang Warehouse is coming to an end, thank you brothers and sisters for your company and encouragement!
