Chapter 144 The guessing game of foreign reporters begins
But the fighting has already broken out, and even if they are unhappy now, there is nothing they can do to change it.
Therefore, the next battle needs to be conducted more cautiously.
But this time Army Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan and Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion, were very insistent and immediately sealed the main entrance of Sihang Warehouse.
He Feiyang had no objection to this decision.
Moreover, he was given a lecture by these two German armorer officers.
Although their tone was relatively restrained, they were also quite serious, so He Feiyang didn't say much to refute or even say anything in response.
Therefore, the subsequent combat deployment was all handed over to Army Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan and Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion, to conduct the command operations.
But they were only mobilizing their own German weapons troops, not He Feiyang's Sichuan troops.
As for He Feiyang, when the troops of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment were in full swing building the defenses of the Sihang Warehouse and making combat deployments,
He also dispatched more than 300 people to the underground passage to help dig the tunnel.
One direction of the tunnel is to dig towards the bank, and the other direction is to dig out according to the direction given by the system for final evacuation.
In addition to continuing to increase personnel to dig tunnels for escape,
He Feiyang also took the initiative to lead his troops to the most frontal position of Sihang Warehouse to defend against Japanese sneak attacks.
In response, Army Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan and Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion, looked slightly better.
Because this is the most dangerous combat mission, and the entire army will be destroyed in minutes.
Not everyone can hold on to the main direction of the Japanese army's attack.
You must know that the forward Japanese troops who have arrived at Sihang Warehouse are already more than a regiment, and the subsequent troops will be even larger.
Therefore, once the Japanese army launches an attack, the strength of the Japanese army will continue to increase.
By then, just a war of attrition will be able to exhaust them all.
Although there are a lot of supplies in the Sihang Warehouse that can last them three years, or several years, or at least one year, the problem is that this is just speculation.
What can really determine victory or defeat is the battle in reality.
You must know that the Japanese troops are not brainless guys, and they will not let a small four-line warehouse delay them for so long. Maybe the Japanese army, which finally loses the patience to attack, will bombard them with heavy firepower, and
shelling,
Then all defenses will be completely destroyed, and the Japanese army will even find a better way to attack when fighting them, thereby capturing the entire Sihang Warehouse.
Therefore, it is the best for Army Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan and Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion, to have a force like He Feiyang with well-equipped weapons and equipment to carry out frontal defense operations.
thing.
Originally, they wanted to ask He Feiyang if he could take charge of frontal combat.
Now He Feiyang took the lead and said yes, thus saving them the trouble of asking.
Because they are also worried that if the other party is unwilling, then they will be embarrassed.
As for how to defend and fight from the front,
He Feiyang handed everything over to his four deputy battalion commanders to test their combat capabilities.
The four officers, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Mingyou, Deputy Battalion Commander Qi Jialun, Deputy Battalion Commander Tang Daoli, and Deputy Battalion Commander Chen Jianfeng also immediately started discussing together.
After the discussion, they also used the sophisticated heavy firepower weapons and equipment given by He Feiyang to carry out rapid combat deployment.
And He Feiyang also personally led the troops to fight as a reserve team.
So soon, He Feiyang's headquarters also fully took over the deployment of the frontal defense operations of Sihang Warehouse.
However, the advantage of He Feiyang's unit is that the heavy firepower weapons and equipment they are equipped with are much more powerful than those of the German weapons division's troops and the Japanese army's small forces.
Just when all the troops at He Feiyang's headquarters and Sihang Warehouse were in full swing preparing for the battle,
In the foreign concession, all the news agencies immediately became excited.
All foreign reporters, including domestic reporters, have already focused all their attention on the battle situation at Sihang Warehouse.
Even ordinary citizens and pedestrians often gather here by the Suzhou River to watch the situation on the other side of the Sihang Warehouse to see if there is any continued fighting or something.
Of course, the most important thing is to see which troop is fighting against so many Japanese troops.
For them, the battle has long been a rout to publicize the defeat of the national army.
Because the entire national army in Songhu is in the process of evacuating.
To a well-informed person, these are clearly received messages.
Of course, this also includes those foreign reporters and domestic reporters.
"Which troop do you think is fighting the Japanese troops on the other side of Sihang Warehouse now? There seem to be a lot of Japanese troops coming, and I heard that the troops coming now are all forward combat troops.
There is another division behind, and even more Japanese troops! And there is also an armored vehicle unit!"
"I heard from the British side that it seems to be the Chinese Army's German Arms Division, a unit under the 88th German Arms Division. As for how many troops have come, I don't know yet. The top brass of the British Army, and the French Army
The high-level officials are communicating with the supreme commander of the Chinese army, including the reasons why they fought the Japanese army here at Sihang Warehouse."
"Actually, the reason why the battle between their two armies has attracted so much attention is that for many foreigners, it is just entertainment news. But now it is about to fight near the concession, then
The British and French troops were more nervous. They were not afraid of the Japanese army, but they were worried that the battle between the two troops would explode the two large gas tanks next to the Sixing Warehouse! Once this happened
If so, it will seriously affect our concession! There will be a lot of casualties and buildings blown up!"
"You are right! Otherwise, the British and French armies would not have mobilized all the troops in the concession so quickly this time, and came here to maintain defensive operations. They also dispatched reconnaissance planes and airborne missions.
The balloon is used for observation operations!”
"Well! I have already seen the British and French reconnaissance planes. They are now flying over the Sihang Warehouse, conducting reconnaissance, and our launch balloon has also taken off!"
"How long do you think the Chinese troops can last in this battle? Is it one day? Or how many days? Originally, I wanted to say that they could not hold on for a few hours, or even half a day, but the Japanese army just conducted its first reconnaissance battle.
They have already been defeated by the Chinese troops in the Sihang Warehouse area! Moreover, many officers and soldiers were killed or injured!"
"I have heard about the battle you mentioned, and I don't know if it is true. You must know that the large Chinese army has been defeated by the Japanese army, so I think the Battle of Songhu is almost over.
So if you ask how long these Chinese troops can hold on to the Sihang Warehouse area, I don’t think they can hold on for more than a few days!"
"I have the same idea. The large army has been defeated by the Japanese army. So for the remaining Chinese troops, I think they have a great chance of surrendering. Maybe once the Japanese army arrives and surrounds them for a day or two, they will be defeated.
We have to surrender all of them. Maybe they will surrender immediately when they see so many Japanese troops arriving here!"
"If the Chinese army could really fight, they would not have lost the Battle of Songhu. Moreover, their weapons and equipment were so inferior, and even the commanding ability of the combat commander was relatively poor, so they had no ability at all.
Come to resist the front line of the Japanese army!"
"Then let's play a game and see who can guess correctly how long these Chinese troops can hold on here? I personally think that in no more than 3 days, they will all surrender or be wiped out by the Japanese army!"
While paying attention to the battle at Sihang Warehouse, many foreign reporters were talking about it, and even proposed a sneak attack to guess how long the national army could hold on to Sihang Warehouse.
