"Sir, I have a plan."
"Youhe, please speak quickly!"
Isao Konoe looked happy because finally someone had an idea.
He felt that the most correct thing he did was to drag them together to have a caesarean section. Otherwise, these little bastards would still be pretending to be dead.
At this time, it was Zaemon who proposed the strategy. Zaemon is the group with the fewest casualties in the 68th Regiment, and it still retains a very complete combat effectiveness.
Zaemon said: "Your Excellency, I believe that a frontal charge is very detrimental to our army.
The front of the four-row warehouse is an open area, and the Chinese soldiers are condescending. Whether it is our soldiers building defensive positions or charging, it is very difficult.
But it would be different if we had armored vehicles, as long as our armored divisions..."
"Baga, are you a pig? It will take two to three days for the armored corps closest to us to arrive. Do you want me to wait here for two days? Or three days? I don't think it will be necessary. One day, we will all have to commit seppuku.”
Konoe Isao reprimanded loudly, but at this moment, a phone call came.
Isao Konoe hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.
Sure enough, it's not good news. The commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Matsui Iwane, shouted loudly when Isao Konoe answered the phone: "Baga, how long are you going to fight a small four-row warehouse? You are fighting a Chinese division. ?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Matsui, but the Sihang Warehouse is very strong and our mortars were unable to penetrate its outer wall head-on. And the cunning Chinese people blew up the buildings on the left and right wings, leaving us helpless for a while.
Sir, I am requesting armored support so that I can capture the Sihang Warehouse within an hour. "
Konoe requested, but at this moment, Matsui Iwane became furious: "Baga, the armored unit closest to you will take two to three days to arrive. Do you still want me to wait for you? Two days or three days?
I can wait, but can the Empire wait? This war has dragged on for too long. The empire is under unprecedented pressure from public opinion.
The Nine Kingdoms Guild is about to be convened. This battle in Songhu must end before the Nine Kingdoms Guild is convened. Do you understand? "
"Hi!"
Isao Konoe was scolded bloody, but he still had to show a humble attitude that he was wrong.
"Tomorrow, before noon tomorrow at the latest, I want to see the flag of my Empire of Japan flying above the Sihang Warehouse."
After Iwane Matsui said that, he hung up the phone.
Isao Konoe let out a long breath at this time, because he finally passed today's test.
But what next? Taking over the Sihang Warehouse tomorrow at the latest is simply a fantasy.
If the Yamamoto Brigade and the Kumano Brigade were still there, he could have taken down the Sihang Warehouse with a crowd. But at this time, his 68th Regiment was already disabled.
What's more, using a regiment of troops to fight for one of the Chinese warehouses is simply a waste of the lives of imperial soldiers.
Isao Konoe was frowning, but Major Inu suddenly had an idea. He suggested: "Sir, although we don't have a real armored vehicle, we can build one ourselves."
"Nani?"
Isao Konoe was very surprised and thought to himself: Xiaoquan, you are so powerful, how can you still build an armored vehicle by yourself? But is it too late?
Seeing Konoe's doubts, Xiao Quandan quickly explained: "Your Excellency, it's like this. We can imitate the ancient shields, and then like this, like this, like this,..."
"Youhe, your plan is very good, let's do it like this!"
Isao Konoe nodded with great satisfaction, and then confidently reported to Commander Matsui that he would take down the Sihang Warehouse within three hours tomorrow and eliminate the Chinese soldiers inside.
Commander Matsui was very happy and said: "Konoe-kun, I appreciate you for having such a consciousness. I will tell those arrogant British now that the Chinese people will be wiped out by us soon. If they don't listen to us anymore If so, I will destroy them together."
"Your Excellency is right. We should teach those arrogant British people a lesson. Let them know who is the master of this land in Asia and break their myth that the sun never sets."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Matsui said the phone call. But he was still unfinished, so he picked up the phone again, dialed the number of the British consul, and said arrogantly:
"Tomorrow, our Imperial Japanese Army will wipe out the Chinese soldiers on the north bank of the Suzhou River within three hours. If our Imperial Japanese soldiers find that people and military supplies from the concession have been transported to the north bank, we will The Empire of Japan will no longer fulfill all the treaties signed by the two countries, and it will no longer be able to guarantee the security of your British Concession. Do you understand?"
"you?......"
Bah!
The British consul was very angry and was about to say something, but Matsui hung up the phone arrogantly.
The British consul had a bad premonition at this time. If he continued to indulge the anti-Japanese enthusiasm on the south bank and did not take action, the Japanese would really attack.
So he quickly contacted the police department and ordered them all to mobilize. From tonight to noon tomorrow, no one can approach the river embankment. And immediately printed newspapers to let all Chinese people on the south bank know that if they continued to support the Anti-Japanese War, everyone would be buried with them.
"Extra, extra, the Japanese are making wild claims, claiming to take over the Sihang Warehouse within three hours tomorrow!"
"Come and give me a newspaper!"
"Give me one too!..."
Newspapers can be printed very quickly, with articles written, typeset, printed, and sold within two hours. And demand exceeds supply.
Because at this time, everyone wanted to see what was going on.
But after seeing it, I was so angry. Because there is only one title and no substantive content at all.
However, they finally figured out that the Japanese troops fighting the independent regiment were actually the Japanese Marines and not the Marines.
The Japanese Marine Corps and the Marine Corps are completely different concepts. The Japanese Marines are the Japanese third-rate troops. The Marine Corps is the main force of the little devils.
And if these marine regiments had not joined the Battle of Songhu, I am afraid that all the little devils would have been driven into the sea and fed to the bastards.
"This is the Marine regiment that the kid can fight best. Now the independent regiment will suffer a loss."
"Yes, they have no support, and their military strength is very different?"
"Come on, let's find a way to get them some ammunition, right?"
"Yes, yes, even if we can't go to the battlefield in person, we still have to send some supplies."
···············
After reading the newspaper, a group of patriotic people prepared to donate another batch of supplies, even weapons, ammunition, etc. to send across the river.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, police sirens suddenly sounded, and a large number of police and multinational soldiers appeared, directly occupying the river embankment on the south bank. No one was allowed to get close! ...
