"Such a majestic military appearance, really makes people look forward to it."
Mizutani Miki held up the camera and murmured while pressing the shutter of the camera continuously. Because of the excitement, her little face turned red against the cold morning wind.
"Miss Meiji, you can see a panoramic view of the entire battlefield from the rooftop."
"Oh, Commander, can I go to the rooftop to take a panoramic view?"
"Of course, if nothing else works, it's okay to take a few photos on the rooftop."
At that moment, Yasuda Yoshida accompanied Mizutani Miki to the rooftop of the Bank of Communications warehouse.
Even if the security personnel of the headquarters repeatedly reminded him, it was useless. Yasuda Yoshida did not listen at all.
This is not because Yasuda Yoshida is stupid, but because he has enough confidence in the Marine snipers.
In fact, Japanese commanders all like to command from the front, but very few were shot by the Chinese army, so Yasuda Yoshida is more willing to believe that Okawauchi Denshichi was due to bad luck.
Yasuda Yoshida quickly took Mizutani Miki up to the observation post on the rooftop.
I saw the Maeda Squadron of the 10th Battalion, guided by the 2nd Tank Squadron, slowly moving forward along the Guangfu Road.
However, the other two squadrons attacking from the ruins on the west and north sides of Sihang Warehouse advanced very quickly.
The infantry squadron on the north side has even crossed Guoqing Road and set up a spliced moso bamboo ladder with a length of more than 10 meters to the north wall of the Sixing Warehouse.
Yasuda Yoshida's eyes fell on the west wall of Sihang Warehouse.
I saw nearly twenty gaps on the west wall of the fourth and fifth floors of Sihang Warehouse, large and small. The large gaps were seven or eight meters wide, and the small ones were more than one meter wide. There would be absolutely no problem for people to climb in.
The Japanese supporting firepower was firing at these gaps.
Last night, the national army built a half-high wall with sandbags in each gap.
Under the Japanese supporting fire, the sandbag wall was beaten into dust.
Facing the ferocious firepower composed of dozens of light and heavy machine guns, the national army could not even probe, let alone shoot outside the gap. They could throw grenades, but they could only throw them blindly downwards.
The scene in the movie of jumping down from the gap in the Western Wall while carrying bundles of grenades is impossible.
Because once the national troops poke their heads out of the gap, they will be shot dead by Japanese snipers outside.
There are more than twenty Japanese snipers aiming at each gap at all times. At such a close distance, it is easy for the snipers to hit even with their eyes closed!
Therefore, if you really want to do this, there is a high probability that you will only be able to blow up your own people.
Yasuda Yoshida's only worry was that the national army was piling cotton bales in the gap again.
Cotton is easy to burn and burns quickly, and it will be even more terrifying if you pour a little gasoline on it.
However, Yoshida Yasuda also made a very targeted deployment, that is, he concentrated more than 60 grenade launchers to aim at every gap at all times. Once he found that the national army was stacking cotton bales in the gap, he would be the first to fire white phosphorus arson bombs. At that time, the national army shot itself in the foot and burned itself instead.
…
"Listen clearly, no one is allowed to show their heads."
"The little devil's marksmanship is nothing to brag about."
"If anyone dares to disobey, I will skin him."
Zhu Shengzhong shouted while holding a bayonet and looking down in a small mirror.
Wu Jie was also doing the same thing behind the gap not far away. While observing, he shouted: "Lao Zhu, the little devils have set up the ladder and they are climbing up."
"I saw it. Don't act rashly. Look at my gestures."
"I lift the bottle, and you lift the bottle. I pull the fuse, and you pull the fuse."
As Zhu Shengzhong spoke, he picked up a glass bottle filled with gasoline from behind and tied a wooden-handled grenade to the glass bottle.
"Lao Zhu, the Japs are on the second floor!"
"Lao Zhu, the Japs have reached the third floor!"
"Lao Zhu, give the order quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Wu Jie urged him several times, but Zhu Shengzhong said calmly: "Listen carefully, don't rush to throw it out of the gap after pulling the fuse. Count to four before throwing it."
"Also, don't use too much force."
"Just roll down the gap!"
As he spoke, Zhu Shengzhong pulled the fuse.
Then the counting started: "One...two...three...four!"
On the count of four, Zhu Shengzhong rolled the gasoline bottle with the grenade tied down through the gap.
The quality of the Gong-style wooden handle grenade is still very good. Apart from anything else, the fuze delay is still very reliable. It is usually five seconds. Zhu Shengzhong left it for one second, but the actual delay was less than half a second.
Because the grenade must first roll to the outer edge of the gap in the west wall.
Therefore, the grenade exploded almost as soon as it slid over the outer edge of the gap.
There was only a loud bang, and then a huge flame burst out from outside the gap.
The flying flames almost covered the entire gap, leaving only a red patch in the field of vision.
But the gasoline bottle tied to the grenade was blown to pieces, and the gasoline in the bottle was ignited as it splashed, causing a sheet of flames to fly in the air, a bamboo ladder leaning against the gap, and The two Japanese who climbed up the ladder to the top were instantly engulfed in flames.
…
Just now Yasuda Yoshida was joking with Mizutani Miki, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Your Excellency, Commander, what happened?" Miki Mizutani had her back to the Sihang Warehouse, so she couldn't see the flames bursting out on the west wall at the first time, but she still saw it from Yasuda Yoshida's myopia glasses. Reflective.
Turning around suddenly, Mizutani Miki also saw a terrifying scene that she would never forget.
The scene was as if the entire west wall of Sihang Warehouse was on fire.
This visual effect is still very shocking, Mizutani Miki was stunned for a moment.
Why did the west wall of Sihang Warehouse catch fire? Can cement walls be burned?
…
"holyshit! Fire attack! Fire attack again!"
"God, am I blind?"
"This is impossible. Brick walls can actually burn?"
"This is magic. The Chinese must have used black magic!"
There was also an uncontrollable exclamation from the rooftop of the Bank of China building.
There are more reporters, observers and military attachés gathered here this morning than yesterday morning.
The most surprised among them was Reeves. This British guy's eyes were as big as bells, staring at the sea of fire that broke out on the north wall of the Sihang Warehouse, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Yes, what they saw was the north wall of Sihang Warehouse.
The Japanese attacking from the north wall were also attacked by fire.
Sophia was happy but also surprised, didn't she say no?
Lotov clapped and laughed: "Hahaha, what a genius!"
"Lotov, what do you know?" Reeves immediately cast a suspicious look.
The war reporters, military observers and military attachés present also cast doubts.
They didn't understand how the national army set fire to the bare brick wall?
Lotov smiled and said, "Don't you think this picture looks familiar?"
"It looks familiar. It seems to be the effect of an arson bomb." An observer nodded.
"Nonsense, how could the national army have arson bombs?" A military attache immediately refuted it.
Lotov smiled and said: "The national army does not have arson bombs, but they can make their own, right?"
"Homemade arson bombs?" Reeves said suddenly, "Do you think arson bombs are toys? Just make them yourself?"
While the two were arguing, billowing flames once again rose up from the north wall of Sihang Warehouse, and this time the flying flames spread to the three floors below. Now the entire wall was swallowed up by the flames and turned into a wall of fire. .
Dozens of ladders and dozens of Japanese soldiers leaning against the north wall were also engulfed in flames.
The reporters present shouted to God while continuously pressing the shutter of their cameras.
Lotov then said slowly: "For the English who lack imagination and creativity, it is of course very difficult to make homemade arson bombs under simple conditions, but this is not the case for the Chinese who have a long history. They can always create miracles with simple conditions, like now..."
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Lotov added: "They just used a bottle of gasoline and a wooden handle grenade to make an arson bomb, and the effect was far better than the white phosphorus arson bomb."
"Gasoline grenade?" Reeves was stunned.
Sophia, on the other hand, has beautiful eyes and is worthy of being my "chosen" one.
It seems that my intuition was correct, this guy definitely has the appearance of a hero.
