Hasegawa Kiyoshi angrily yelled: "There are eight hundred defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, and now less than half are left, and their chief officers are not here. What kind of conspiracy can there be in a place with a bigger hand? I can give you tens of thousands of people How big of a trap are you setting? I order you to attack immediately and capture the Sihang Warehouse within three hours!"
Major General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru: "Hi! Your Excellency, Commander!"
The Hasegawa Brigade, the most elite marines of the Third Fleet commanded by Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, had not captured the Sihang Warehouse in four days, which made him very angry.
The Battle of Sihang Warehouse shocked the world, which also made Kiyoshi Hasegawa feel ashamed. The Marine Corps, the most powerful force in the Japanese Empire, could not win a small Sihang Warehouse, which made the world laugh. During this period, the emperor sent several telegrams from home to inquire about the war situation, which put him under unprecedented pressure.
"Qingwu-kun!" Hasegawa Qing's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his tone was very cold. "I will use whatever weapons and methods you want. If you can't take down the Four Lines Warehouse within three hours, I will replace you immediately!"
Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi's forehead suddenly became sweaty. He straightened his body and his leather boots clicked together: "Hi! Commander!"
Major General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru put down the phone and ordered the troops: "Immediately release poison gas bombs and smoke bombs to suppress the firepower in the Sihang Warehouse. Everyone in the 23rd Squadron fixed their bayonets, rushed into the Sihang Warehouse, and fought hand-to-hand with the Chinese!"
This is tantamount to ordering the soldiers to charge forcefully. Once the charge is frustrated, the cost of casualties will be very high.
Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi decided to make a desperate move.
Although Hasegawa Kiyoshi told him to take down the Sihang Warehouse at all costs, no matter what weapons were used, which meant that heavy artillery could be used, but he knew that at this moment, the Sihang Warehouse was attracting the attention of the world and he could never use heavy artillery to attack. , although the warehouse can be captured quickly by using heavy artillery, the consequences may be serious. Under heavy pressure from the outside world, the military will definitely use him as a scapegoat.
Everyone in the 23rd Squadron of Changgu Brigade fixed their bayonets and put on gas masks. The bombardier immediately dropped gas bombs into the Sihang Warehouse, followed by smoke bombs.
Immediately, everyone in the 23rd Squadron charged toward the warehouse with bayonets drawn and fired at the same time.
If gas bombs are suddenly dropped, the Chinese defenders in the warehouse will definitely look for gas masks. This is the best opportunity for the 23rd Squadron to charge.
As soon as Hasegawa Kiyoshi put down the call to order the attack on the Sihang Warehouse, an intelligence officer "reported" at the door, and then hurried in: "Commander! The bombers of the [Ryujo] aircraft carrier were three Norths of the Chinese Air Force. Ropp 2E bombers, two Hawker 3 fighter jets, and a Chance Vought O3U-2 reconnaissance aircraft. At this time, more than a dozen fighter jets on the aircraft carrier that were attacked were all destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, and some were on the aircraft carrier. They caught fire, and some fell into the sea."
Hasegawa Kiyoshi's eyes almost sparkled: "Baga! This is simply a shame for the empire. The Chinese actually used a few antique-looking Northrop 2E bombers to blow up the empire's [Ryujo] aircraft carrier. What's even more hateful is However, they actually used an outdated reconnaissance aircraft like the Chance Vought O3U-2 as an outpost and easily avoided the empire's aerial reconnaissance aircraft. This is really shameful!"
Just a few days ago, the Chinese Air Force General Headquarters learned that the Japanese aircraft carrier "Ryuxiang" was sailing from the direction of Huaniao Mountain to Shanghai in preparation for attacking Nanjing. It was accompanied by maritime exercises and training, and was accompanied by two cruisers and A supply ship.
On the 29th, Matsui Iwane and Sihang Warehouse negotiated a temporary armistice agreement, which included the unreasonable request to let the Chinese Air Force chief instructor pilot the No. 214 ship to fly around the Huangpu River.
In order to allow more than 400 soldiers from the Sihang Warehouse to leave safely, the chief instructor agreed to Matsui Iwane's request.
So the Chinese Air Force decided to take advantage of the situation. On November 1st, while the chief instructor was flying over the Huangpu River to attract the attention of the Japanese Third Fleet, the remaining few bombers were sent to sneak attack on the Dragon Dragon under the protection of fighter jets. 】aircraft carrier.
In fact, just today, most of the Japanese fighter jets parked in Shanghai took off to attack Nanjing Airport, Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, and the important Chinese Air Force base in Zhoujiakou.
In fact, letting the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force fly the No. 214 Ship Battle around the Huangpu River was also a plan of the Japanese army to attack the east and west. The purpose was to attract the attention of the Chinese Air Force while the Japanese army sent a large number of fighter jets and bombers from Shanghai to sneak attack on China. major airports and military locations.
This plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only shoot down the No. 214 ship to relieve the hatred in the heart, but also take the opportunity to destroy several major airports in China and kill people.
However, despite all the calculations the Japanese army had made, they could never calculate that the Chinese Air Force, which was almost completely wiped out at this time, actually dared to use a few obsolete bombers to bomb the aircraft carrier "Ryuxiang".
You know, every aircraft carrier in the Empire of Japan must have at least a dozen fighter jets, and there are also battle groups to escort it. Your few old-fashioned bombers come to bomb, just to give away heads and gifts.
But it was these antique-level fighter jets that blew up the empire's aircraft carrier "Ryuxiang".
Therefore, this is the most irritating part. Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Third Fleet, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi once again ordered: "Order all Type 96 carrier-based aircraft chasing the 214th ship battle to return at full speed to protect the aircraft carrier [Ryujo]. Order all fighter jets left in Shanghai to take off, and we must annihilate all incoming enemies." Enemy plane!"
"Hi!"
An adjutant immediately called and issued an order for all the fighter jets remaining in Shanghai to take off!
Another adjutant once again used the intercom to ask the dozen fighter pilots who were chasing the 214th ship battle where they were back on defense.
At this time, the Japanese fighter jets all had communication devices, and the communication range on the sea was 30 kilometers.
The anxious voice of the battle squadron leader came from the intercom: "Sir! We were returning to defense at full speed, but Ship Battle No. 214 turned around and chased us. Two of our fighter jets were shot down by him... Oh damn... they were shot down by him again. Shot down one... Oh my God... He suddenly appeared behind me... Ah..."
"boom!"
There was deathly silence in the entire war room, and all the combat personnel heard the screams of the squadron leader when he was shot down and the explosion of the Type 96 ship battle.
At this moment, the phone in the war room rang again.
An adjutant immediately went up and picked up the phone: "Hello! Hi!"
The adjutant handed the phone to General Kiyoshi Hasegawa: "Commander! This is the call from General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru."
"oh!"
A ray of sunshine finally appeared on Hasegawa Kiyoshi's gloomy face, and he said to the combat personnel in the war room, "It seems that Yoshimaru-kun has taken over the Sihang Warehouse and has brought good news." As he said that, he reached out to take the phone.
"Your Excellency Commander!"
The strange voice of Major General Kiyotake Yoshimaru came from the other end of the phone.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi said: "Have you captured the Sihang Warehouse?"
"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi replied, "But..."
"Just take it!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi felt much better and quickly captured the Sihang Warehouse. This also gave an explanation to the world and showed that our Hasegawa Brigade was not unable to capture the Sihang Warehouse, but that we took into account the interests of the British and American Concessions. To. This also lets the world see that the imperial army really wants to take over the Sihang Warehouse, and it can do so at any time.
"But what?"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi asked casually.
Major General Kiyoshi Yoshimaru's tone was a little trembling, obviously because he was afraid of Hasegawa Kiyoshi's anger: "We broke into the Sihang Warehouse, but found that it was empty, not even a single person."
"Baga!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi immediately shouted, "There's no one there? Could it be that the remaining four hundred people spread their wings and flew away? This is impossible. Unless there is a secret passage in the warehouse leading to the outside, otherwise they would have inserted The wings cannot escape.”
Major General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru sounded uneasy: "We checked the entire warehouse inside and out, and found no secret passage leading to the outside. However... on the wall of the warehouse, there was... something written by Zhou Zhihan, chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, with a brush A letter to you.”
"read!"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi's face suddenly turned ferocious. He vaguely knew that he and Commander-in-Chief Matsui Iwane might have been deceived by the Chinese.
Major General Kiyoshi Yoshimaru said in an uneasy tone: "Hasaya's clever plan is to bring peace to the world, but he lost both the aircraft carrier and the troops."
