Chapter 87 The gathering of foreign troops and their defense
When the foreign concessions and foreign troops heard the sound of the Japanese Marine Corps' artillery fire covering the bombing operations, they immediately became excited.
All foreign troops were mobilized urgently to protect the borders of the foreign public concessions to prevent an unpreventable war that suddenly broke out in the middle of the night.
"What happened?"
"Did the fighting start there? Why are there so many sounds of artillery bombing?"
The English troops took the lead in fortifying the border of the foreign concession.
As the commander of the team this time, Broome also looked panicked and asked the scouts under his command.
"It seems to be on the Zhabei side, where the 156th Brigade of the 19th Army's 78th Division and the 6th Regiment of the Zhabei garrison are located!"
"The Japanese army not only dispatched artillery units to carry out artillery fire coverage attacks, but also dispatched a group of tanks and combat vehicles. Now a war has broken out there, Major!"
Reconnaissance officer Cavell also hurriedly reported the situation.
And he put down the military telescope in his hand.
"Why did these bastards, the Japanese army, suddenly launch a war?"
"What are they planning to do? Don't they want to capture the entire Songhu?"
"Didn't they just occupy the Northeast where Chinese troops are stationed?"
"There is so much land and natural resources there, don't they feel like it's enough?"
"What an ambitious unit!"
After hearing this, Commander Broome also quickly raised the military telescope in his hand to observe.
The place he was staring at was the position of the 6th Regiment of the Zhabei garrison reported by the reconnaissance officer Cavell.
I saw that there, at this moment, were already filled with soaring flames and filled with gunpowder smoke.
There were deafening explosions everywhere, and buildings collapsed one after another.
"Hiss! These Japanese troops are really incompetent!"
"They really started a war!"
"Quickly notify our fleet to guard against the Japanese fleet. They will never be allowed to attack our public concession!"
"In addition, please ask our reserve troops to come over immediately, and all the troops to come over with me. We must guard the border here!"
"We cannot allow Japanese troops to attack the public concession!"
"It's still unclear what exactly caused such a sudden war, but we must also be on guard against Japanese attacks around the clock!"
When Commander Broome held up his military binoculars and saw that the position of the 6th Regiment of the Zhabei garrison was already filled with battles,
He also took a big breath,
And quickly, a series of combat instructions were issued.
"Yes! Major!"
And all the officers around him,
He also responded quickly.
and act quickly,
Just after these English officers and soldiers began to take action,
French officer Gerard also hurried over with a group of fully armed officers and soldiers.
"Bloom! What's going on now?"
"I heard that it seems that the Japanese Marine Corps launched an attack on the Chinese army's garrison!"
"What the hell are they doing?"
"It's late at night, and you actually choose such a disturbing time to start a war?"
"It's so abominable!"
After arriving in front of Commander Broome,
The French officer Gerard was also chattering endlessly, asking questions.
"See for yourself! The Japanese artillery unit is carrying out artillery fire coverage and bombing!"
"These guys are not good people!"
"After occupying the Northeast, they want to attack here again, and they still do it under our noses. It seems that they don't take us seriously!"
Commander Broome asked the opponent to raise his military binoculars and observe the battle.
Hearing the words,
The French officer Gerard also raised the military binoculars in his hand without saying a word and watched the battle carefully.
"Hiss! They are really at war!"
"How many troops can you mobilize here to garrison now?"
"We absolutely cannot allow these Japanese troops to have the opportunity to attack our public concession!"
"I don't have a lot of troops at the moment, no! I have to ask the senior management to dispatch the fleet and more troops to assist us in the battle immediately!"
"Damn it! These Japanese soldiers are really war-mad!"
When the French officer Gerard observed for a while, he immediately exclaimed,
And while chattering endlessly, he quickly put away his military binoculars and began to direct his troops to deploy troops and generals and prepare for combat.
And he also personally called to inform his superiors that the Battle of Songhu had broken out.
was erupted by the Japanese Marine Corps.
As a result, the foreign troops and residents in Songhu who were awakened by artillery fire from the Japanese Marine Corps fell into further chaos.
It also attracted a large number of onlookers and journalists to watch the battle.
For a time, the late night in Songhu became an uproar.
And those journalists, whether they are foreign journalists or domestic journalists, are constantly filming on the battlefield and conducting news reports.
At the same time, the number of foreign troops gathered in the foreign public concessions also increased.
Foreign tanks, chariots, and artillery units also arrived at the border defense area of the public concession one after another for pre-war deployment.
The senior foreign officials also kept calling the senior officials of the Japanese army, as well as the senior officials of the Chinese army, including Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek of the 19th Route Army.
The foreign leaders are asking them why the war broke out.
And how to stop this war that suddenly broke out in the middle of the night,
pity,
The senior foreign officials did not receive a satisfactory response to the ceasefire from the senior officials of the Japanese Marine Corps.
So the war continued,
As for the reinforcements from the 19th Route Army, they also moved quickly and were rushing towards the position where the 6th Regiment of the Zhabei garrison was located to prepare for support operations.
The troops of the German Arms Company that Zhou Wenhua left behind in Songhu, as well as part of his security team who were rewarded by the system, also began to observe the battle before the war, and the pre-war troops in their area.
And this war, deliberately provoked by the Japanese Marine Corps in the middle of the night, also woke up Zhou Weiguo, Liu Zhihui, Cao Ying, Liu Yuan and others.
