In the foreign concession, a group of domestic reporters were conducting observations along the Suzhou River.
"Have you received any unusual news? Are you sure it's our unit? Which unit is it? I heard that they repelled the Japanese reconnaissance unit at the beginning! Although there were not many Japanese troops, they still successfully defeated them.
If you step back, you will be in the limelight for once!"
"I haven't found any specific and confirmed news, but I heard that it was a German armed force. I heard it from officers on the British and French sides, and they are still talking to the top brass of our national army.
Leaders are communicating!”
"The so-called communication of those foreigners must be to hope that our troops will not fight with those Japanese troops here, because there are two large gas bottles in the Sihang Warehouse. Once these two gas bottles are detonated, the consequences will be
It’s unimaginable!”
"The character of those foreigners is really what you said. Otherwise, those refugees who have escaped will not be refused to come in. Although many refugees have entered the concession, I feel that there should be more.
Put some in!"
"I won't say much about the influx of refugees into the concession, because now that there are many refugees in the concession, life here has also changed, so both foreigners and those of us who are rich and powerful are also worried
Regarding the situation inside the concession, there are wars and chaos everywhere outside now, and we don’t know what the situation will be like in the future!”
"I hope that the national troops staying here this time can fight a good battle and defeat these damn Japanese troops! We have suffered enough defeats in the Battle of Songhu! Okay.
I haven’t heard much news about it, especially now that the battle is coming to an end, and we are retreating even more!”
"Well! That's true. I think the Battle of Songhu will end in failure! Especially now that the Japanese troops are constantly increasing, so I don't see how long it will take before the entire Songhu is filled with these damn
The Japanese have conquered the world, and I don’t know if they will continue to attack the capital side next!”
"I think it will happen! The ambitions of these Japanese devils are getting bigger and bigger. I think they will definitely continue to attack the capital after occupying Songhu. So I am afraid that the war will be the direction of the war.
Unknown!”
"That's right! If our troops can be stronger and our weapons and equipment can be better, then we don't need to be afraid of these stupid Japanese troops. You know, our troops are said to have invested more than one million in this battle of Songhu.
I don’t know if the army is real or fake, but at least it is much larger than the Japanese army of 300,000! No matter how you say it, there will be at least 600,000 or more!"
"I feel like your topic has gone too far. Let's focus on the current battle in Sihang Warehouse! I've been here for half a day, but I haven't seen the battle scene again. Will the two sides still fight?
Will conflicts and wars break out? Will they all surrender after the Japanese army arrives?"
"Maybe! Although I don't know how many national troops are here in Sihang Warehouse now, I don't think there are too many. Count them as the strength of a regiment! Maybe I don't even know the strength of a regiment.
Is there any! Even if there is, what they are about to face is not just one division of Japanese troops, but a large number of Japanese troops who will come for reinforcements later, a Japanese army of more than 300,000!"
"Not only are the Japs' troops more numerous than them, but they also lose to the Japs' weapons and equipment. You must know that the Japs' troops now also have a navy and air force, as well as tanks and artillery to support operations!"
"Well! You are right. It seems that the fate of these national army troops who stayed here or were defeated and hid here will not be too good this time! Their final outcome will either be a total surrender to the Japanese army, or
They were all wiped out by the Japanese army and fell here. In short, they were fighting alone!"
"Maybe we can give them some material support! After all, we are also Chinese! We can't just watch them be wiped out by the Japanese troops!"
"Support materials are available, but the question is how long they can hold on. If they can't hold on for even a day or two, or even become cowards who surrender as soon as they see the Japanese army invading, then we will donate
What's the use of giving them materials? Isn't it just in vain?"
"That's right. Although we still have patriotic thoughts, we still need more support from them! Wouldn't it be better if we donated money and supplies to other troops that are really capable of fighting the Japanese?"
When reporters gathered this time to pay attention to the situation at the Sihang Warehouse on the other side of the Suzhou River, many domestic reporters were just like the foreign reporters. When they did not see the fighting breaking out again, they also gathered in twos and threes.
Together, they were whispering.
The topics they discussed were when the battle would start and when it would end, and what kind of national army troops were fighting against the Japanese army, and how long they could hold out, etc.
Even the topic of donating materials and money was discussed together.
But in the end, everyone was still not very optimistic about the combat situation of the National Army troops at Sihang Warehouse, and worried that they would soon surrender to the Japanese troops.
For a time, there were not many people on either the foreign reporters' side or the domestic reporters' side who looked up to the combat troops of Sihang Warehouse.
He has no confidence in the Sichuan Army troops led by He Feiyang or the German Arms Division troops.
As for the discussions of these reporters, the citizens watching the excitement around them also paid attention to it from time to time, but soon they continued to go about their own affairs.
Because no fighting has broken out yet, more and more Japanese troops are gathering together, preparing to surround the entire Sihang Warehouse.
As for when the Japanese troops will launch a retaliatory attack or a large-scale general attack, no one knows.
So they had no intention of continuing to wait around the Suzhou River, so they continued to do their work.
Because no matter when the battle at Sihang Warehouse starts or ends, it will not affect the bustle of the concession too much, because everyone believes that the current Japanese army still dare not attack the foreign concession at will.
They all feel that only the foreign concession is the safest.
At least for a short period of time, it is the safest.
Unless the Japanese army dares to challenge all foreign countries, it is absolutely impossible for a war to attack the foreign concessions to break out.
Therefore, in order to make their own lives, most of the people watching the excitement in the concession went to make a living and resume their jobs.
Of course, there are also many rich people or foreigners who are very leisurely and curious about the fighting situation in Sihang Warehouse. There are even many of them who are reading newspapers and drinking.
Holding something and eating something to watch.
It was as if they were watching such a sudden conflict and battle as an entertainment program.
Moreover, I was still talking about it and had a strong sense of anticipation.
In addition to the attention of the above people, there are also intelligence agents from various countries who are also paying close attention to the fighting here, especially the military commanders and central commanders, as well as the Japanese intelligence agents, including those traitors who are also conducting operations on this side of the Suzhou River.
Watching in secret,
They are ready to report the first-hand information they obtain back to their respective base camps at any time.
Of course, there are also military officers from various countries who are also watching this conflict between the Japanese army and the Chinese army, and are ready to intervene in this battle at any time.
They would not allow the two sides to fight and exploded the two large gas tanks.
Of course, the premise is that they also watch the show first.
Because for the foreign officers who have lived in the peaceful era for a period of time, it has been a long time since they have seen such a close-up war scene, so they feel that it will be very exciting, even more exciting than watching a movie.
