The unusual movements of the national troops in Sihang Warehouse were quickly discovered by the Japanese army.
Today's Sihang Warehouse battlefield is the home field of the Chinese army at night, but it is still dominated by the Japanese army during the day.
The Japanese army not only set up observation posts on the rooftop of the Bank of Communications warehouse, but also set up observation posts at the intersections of North XZ Road and Kaifeng Road, so the Nationalist troops were discovered as soon as they left the cigarette shop.
The news was quickly reported to the Zhabei detachment headquarters at the Bank of Communications warehouse.
Shimomura Masuke and Maeda Ritsu were also still at the Bank of Communications warehouse.
Takeshita Yifeng said with a dark face: "Most of the public concessions gave in. Most of the Chinese soldiers who left the Sihang Warehouse went to the Hebin Building to supervise the release. After they were released, they either went to Huajie in Nanshi or to Huxi. But whether it is going to Nanshi or Huxi, it will be a great humiliation for the empire, so we must find a way to stop it."
Maeda Ritsu had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Shimomura Masuke was extremely angry: "When did Miguo and the British become so weak?"
Hearing this, Maeda Ritsu no longer dwelled on the previous question, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Mi people and the British have always been like this, fierce in appearance but internal quarrels. They have been pinched by the China Army, so they can only Give in."
"Maeda-kun is right." Shimomura Masuke nodded, "The Chinese army is determined to die together, but the Mi people and the British have no intention of dying together."
"Damn it, the Chinese Army controls the fate of the concession, but the Imperial Navy can't control it?" Takeshita Yifeng said angrily, "The Chinese Army can bombard the concession's tap water factory, and the Imperial Navy can also bombard the concession's tap water factory. They can even dispatch naval aviation for bombing, and the empire can also raze the concession to the ground!"
"Baga! Razing the concession to the ground is not what we want." Masasuke Shimomura stopped Takeshita Yifeng's shouting, then turned to Ritsu Maeda and said, "Maeda-kun, it will take some time for the air force to arrive, but the public concession The Chinese army will not stay and wait, so you have to go to the Central Bank Building to put as much pressure on the British army as possible."
"We must issue a stern warning to the Concession Industry Bureau. If they release the public concession and allow the Chinese troops detained in Hebang Building to go to Nanshi or Huxi, then the Imperial Japanese Navy's 3rd Fleet and the Shanghai Special Marine Corps will be Abandon all previous commitments and march into the concession to pursue the Chinese Army."
"Hai!" Ritsu Maeda paused and left quickly.
…
Hebang Building is also located on the north bank of Suzhou River, about one kilometer away from Sihang Warehouse.
This building was also built by the wealthy Jewish businessman Sassoon, and most of the celebrities in Shanghai lived there. However, after the Songhu Battle broke out on August 13, because the Hebang Building was located on the north bank of the Suzhou River and next to the Japanese Concession to the north, people living there The Shanghai celebrities here moved their families and fled to the Central District of the Concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River, leaving the entire building vacant.
More than 300 officers and soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division were temporarily detained here.
Looking down from a high altitude, the Hebang Building looks like a reverse "?".
At this moment, more than 300 officers and soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment gathered in the middle area of the question mark.
He had been detained in Hebang Building for two days and nights for no reason, and his treatment was extremely poor. The food sent by foreigners was worse than pig food, so the soldiers' anger broke out.
"Open the door, open the door quickly, let us out, let us out!"
"You damn foreign devils, what authority do you have to detain us?"
A dozen or so grumpy veterans crowded in front of the large iron gate at the opening of the question mark, struggling to shake it.
More veterans gathered in the back, shouting and cursing at the red-headed Ah San outside the iron gate.
The red-headed Ah San outside the iron gate felt the pressure and raised his batons one after another. The merchant group from all over the world not far away also turned their Maxim heavy machine guns and pointed the muzzles at the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment inside the iron gate.
But instead of being afraid, the veterans of the national army inside the iron gate became even more angry.
Two impatient veterans of the National Army even started climbing up the iron gate in anger.
"Come down and don't climb the iron gate!" Red-headed Ah San yelled in blunt Chinese.
But the two veterans of the national army had already gone up and climbed over the big iron gate regardless of it.
What greeted the veterans of the national army was the short stick of red-headed Asan. Faced with the siege of more than a dozen red-headed Asan, the two unarmed veterans of the national army were quickly knocked to the ground.
"Stop, don't hit people. Why do you hit people?"
"Brothers, rush out and fight these foreign devils!"
I don't know which veteran roared, and the more than 300 veterans inside exploded and began to attack the iron gate in front like a rising tide.
The iron gate soon crumbled.
The merchant group from all over the world guarding the intersection suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The machine gunner even pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun and was ready to fire.
Seeing that a bloody incident was about to occur, Xie Jinyuan finally arrived with several company commanders.
They had just been called to a meeting by Chen Shunong, but they didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in just ten minutes.
"Brothers, please calm down, please be calm!" Xie Jinyuan stood on the flower bed, waved his hands and shouted, "Impursuance cannot solve the problem, we must calm down."
Lei Xiong, Tang Di and other company commanders also began to shout at their officers and soldiers.
After a few minutes of chaos, the situation was finally brought under control, and the officers and soldiers who were on the verge of rage were suppressed. However, the business group outside the iron gate did not lift the alert and instead called in more soldiers.
Xie Jinyuan saw that the two veterans who had climbed out of the iron gate had their heads smashed and were bleeding profusely.
"Our people are injured. Please bandage them and provide necessary treatment immediately." Xie Jinyuan struggled to suppress his anger and said righteously, "Please remember, we are not your prisoners of war."
However, the red-headed Ah San outside the big iron gate didn't pay attention at all, and just looked at it coldly.
These red-headed Asans are very good at observing faces and have learned from their masters the true meaning of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Xie Jinyuan was filled with grief and anger but had no idea what to do. Just when he didn't know what to do, a loud song suddenly came from the road ahead in Suzhou: The flag was fluttering and the horse was whistling...
"Listen, it seems like someone is singing and the flag is waving."
"That's right, the flag is waving, our military song!"
"Look, it's our people, it's our people!"
"Lao Zhu, it's Lao Zhu, it's Lao Zhu, Zhu Shengzhong!"
Under the eager gaze of Xie Jinyuan and more than 300 veterans, Zhu Shengzhong led a dozen veterans from Class 1 to sing military songs and march in neat steps straight to the Hebang Building by the Suzhou River.
In the middle, you need to pass through the barricades guarded by the business groups of all nations.
There was a platoon of merchants from all over the world guarding the barricade and on both sides.
But in the face of Zhu Shengzhong and the dozen or so veterans of the national army, the merchant group of all nations did not dare to stop them at all. Instead of daring to stop them, they hurriedly moved away from the horse, and the leader even made a considerate gesture of invitation.
The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. The Songhu Independent Group is now truly notorious.
Dozens of people dared to challenge the Japanese army, the concession, and the National Government at the same time. The key point was that the National Government, the concession, and the Japanese army could not do anything to them. This was no longer an ordinary army.
So if there is no special reason, don’t offend them easily.
The business group from all over the world didn't dare to stop, and the red-headed Asan guarding the gate didn't even dare to stop.
Seeing Zhu Shengzhong and the others walking straight towards the gate of Hebang Building, a dozen red-headed Asans hurriedly got out of the way. However, these red-headed Asans were really a little clever. When they backed away, they even thought of using the human wall to block the two injured people. A national army, so as not to be seen by Zhu Shengzhong and others and take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Zhu Shengzhong and the others soon arrived in front of the big iron gate.
"Reporting to the group, Zhu Shengzhong led all the brothers in Class 1 to come and greet us!"
"Are you ordered to greet me?" Xie Jinyuan was stunned when he heard this. Whose order was he given? Master's order? Assistant teacher's seat?
However, Xie Jinyuan did not dwell too much on this. Instead, he pointed at the wall of red-headed Asan and said, "Lao Zhu, have you guys brought any hemostatic bandages? Quickly bandage them."
Zhu Shengzhong looked in the direction Xie Jinyuan pointed, but saw nothing.
"Behind the human wall." After Xie Jinyuan's reminder, Zhu Shengzhong led the veterans of Class 1 to forcefully separate the human wall, and then saw the two veterans lying in a pool of blood.
I saw that the heads of these two veterans were broken and blood was flowing all over the floor.
Zhu Shengzhong immediately asked someone to bandage the wounds of the two veterans.
On the other hand, he asked: "Brother, who beat you?"
