Shimomura Masuke stared straight at Sihang Warehouse, his eyes had turned red, as if two balls of fire were burning faintly in his pupils.
Oh no, it's not like that, it's really hot.
There were really two balls of fire burning faintly in Shimomura Masasuke's pupils.
One group is the raging flames on the north wall of Sihang Warehouse, and the other group is the raging flames on North XZ Road.
These two balls of fire, while killing hundreds of Japanese soldiers and dozens of tanks, also completely extinguished the hope of the Special Marines to capture the Sihang Warehouse.
No more miracles will happen, only failures! A disastrous defeat!
The Kojima squadron that stormed the north wall of the Sihang Warehouse and the tank squadron that quickly assaulted along the North XZ Road were both severely damaged. The Ogasawara squadron that stormed the west gate of the Sihang Warehouse and the Ida squadron that raided from the waterway would not even think about it. There was a great result, a four-pronged assault, but unexpectedly, in the end, all four prongs were defeated.
Shimomura Masuke didn't plan to struggle anymore.
Because if we continue to fight, the losses will only become worse.
"Your Majesty Commander, I am responsible for this failure."
"I misjudged the troop deployment of the Songhu Independent Regiment."
"If it hadn't been for my misjudgment, I wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat..."
Ritsu Maeda was still responsible and had the courage to take responsibility, but was stopped by Masasuke Shimomura.
"Maeda-kun, you are very good. You are a responsible and capable chief of staff." Masasuke Shimomura waved his hand lonely and said, "However, this failure has nothing to do with you, it is with me, the commander." Official responsibility."
"Because the order for the general attack was given by me personally."
"Your Excellency, Commander..." Ritsu Maeda was about to tell the difference again but was interrupted by Shimomura Masuke.
"Maeda-kun, you are a top student who has returned from studying at the Munich Special Forces School in Germany. You are an expert in special operations. You will be able to create greater value for the empire on the battlefield and achieve greater feats in the future. The Imperial Navy needs talents like you."
"So the responsibility for this failure falls on me."
Shimomura Masuke said sincerely: "I only have one thing to ask of you."
"Your Excellency, Commander, please speak." Ritsu Maeda's face showed no emotion.
Shimomura Masuke straightened his face and said: "Please destroy the Songhu Independent Regiment with your own hands. It is best to cut off the heads of the living King of Hell Yan Yan and Xie Jinyuan with your own hands. You must not let them fall into the hands of Army Red Deer." Here, we can’t let the Songhu Independent Regiment become the military exploits of the Army Red Deer, please!”
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Maeda Ritsu.
Maeda Ritsu also bowed: Hay!
…
The rooftop of Chinachem Hotel.
Seeing that there was no movement after the Japanese troops retreated, those war reporters and Western military observers who were not too concerned about the excitement couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Is this it?
"Are the Japanese too inexperienced?"
"Yeah, it's not enough just once?"
"If it were us French men, we would have to do it five or six times a night."
"Come on, you French men have always been known for their soft bodies. The Hundred Years War was won by women."
"Reeves, what do you mean by that? I want to fight you!"
Reeves and Steve quarreled and almost got into a fight. The reporters and observers nearby quickly pulled the two away, while some of the two people above were still arguing in the distance.
Sophia ignored the quarrel between the two.
She had a very good idea of what these two men were thinking.
It's nothing more than trying to gain her attention.
Just like a rooster showing off his beautiful feathers in front of a hen.
But this kind of behavior is really childish, especially when compared with the guy from Sihang Warehouse. It's really a judgment call. No, there's no comparison at all.
"Lotov, I have to go to Sihang Warehouse."
Sophia smiled and asked: "Aren't you coming with me?"
"I won't go, you know." Lotov shrugged.
The Soviet Union's position in the Far East was very ambiguous, which put Lotov in a difficult position.
In fact, the attitude of Western countries towards the Far East is also very ambiguous. On the one hand, they do not want to see Japan annex China and then dominate the Far East, but on the other hand, they hope that Japan will target the Red Soviet Union after it is full, so if they can We will try our best to satisfy Japan's ambitions within the limits of tolerance.
That’s why Jason Xu licked the Japanese’s buttocks wildly.
Next, Miguo people will also lick the Japanese buttocks.
Then the Japanese will become even more arrogant.
…
Xie Jinyuan and Yan Yan have arrived at the rooftop of the east building of Sihang Warehouse. Each of them has a low-light night vision scope and is searching the area north of Guoqing Road. As a result, they found that no Japanese could be seen within 500 meters. .
"It seems that the Japanese have really withdrawn this time."
"At most there are a few Japanese guard posts, but they are difficult to detect."
"This is also an expected result. The Japs' Zhabei detachment must have been completely disabled by us this time. Counting the number of enemies killed in the previous wave of counterattacks, we killed at least 400 Japs tonight, and injured even more Japs. I don’t know how many there were, in addition there were sixteen tanks, and almost all of the tank troops of the Songhu Special Marine Corps were wiped out by us.”
"Yes, the Japanese were really disabled by us this time." Xie Jinyuan sighed.
Thinking back to three months ago, Xie Jinyuan really seemed to be dreaming. They were also in Zhabei, with the same group of people, and even the weapons and equipment were similar. At the beginning, they had three divisions against the Japanese army of 2,000 people, but they were defeated. If they were defeated again, all three divisions would be almost exhausted and no decent results would be achieved.
But now, the Songhu Independent Regiment only has 400 people, using the same weapons, but it has achieved such great results.
Oh no, the weapons and equipment are still a little different. Xie Jinyuan suddenly thought of the two mysterious boxes.
Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but asked Yan Yan again: "Chief of Staff, what is in your other box? Can you take it out and show it to me?"
"Captain, you will see it later." Yan Yan said.
Again, this has nothing to do with trust or not. The fewer people know about these black technologies, the better. Even if Xie Jinyuan and the others will eventually learn the secret, the sooner the better.
Because at this time, the Songhu Independent Group really did not have the ability to hold on to black technology.
If these black technologies fall into the hands of countries such as Xiaobaga or Miying, it is of course impossible for them to create these electronic products all at once, but there is no doubt that they will have a huge impact on the technological progress of these countries. .
Yan Yan absolutely does not want to see such a result.
"How stingy." Xie Jinyuan joked, but didn't care too much. Who hasn't revealed their secret yet, right? Not to mention the overseas Chinese like Yan Yan.
…
At ten o'clock in the night, Masasuke Shimomura and Ritsu Maeda had just returned to the headquarters, and the battle losses of the Zhabei detachment, the tank unit, and the 7th Battalion were also counted.
Putting down the phone, Maeda Ritsu said with a heavy expression: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Zhabei detachment has 109 dead, 227 missing, and more than 400 injured. The 7th Brigade has 36 killed and 60 missing. Seven of them, more than two hundred were wounded, sixteen of the chariot troops were killed, sixty-eight were missing, and nineteen were wounded.”
Because they lost control of the battlefield, most of the bodies could not be recovered.
Therefore, some killed in action cannot be counted as killed in action, but can only be classified as missing.
After a pause, Maeda Ritsu continued: "A total of 161 people were killed, 362 were missing, and more than 600 were injured. Sixteen Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 side tanks were also lost. Two three-wheeled vehicles, one Type 87 armored vehicle and more than 500 or more firearms of various types."
Even though Shimomura Masuke had been mentally prepared for it, after hearing this number, his vision still went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
Yes, there is absolutely no hope now.
At that moment, Masasuke Shimomura felt a little lonely and said to Ritsu Maeda: "Maeda-kun, I have something to ask of you."
Maeda Ritsu looked calm and asked, "Commander, do you want me to correct my mistake?"
"Hai." Shimomura Masasuke nodded to Ritsu Maeda and said sincerely, "Maeda-kun comes from a noble family. It is my lifelong honor to have you correct my mistakes for me."
Massuke Shimomura still had a very objective understanding of himself. He knew that he would never be able to endure the severe pain of a caesarean section, so he invited Ritsu Maeda to explain his mistakes. In the end, it was Ritsu Maeda's merciful knife that saved Massuke Shimomura from dying. of great pain.
But after the mistake, Maeda Ritsu looked ugly.
The feud with the Songhu Independent Group was finally settled.
