"Let them evacuate Sihang Warehouse tomorrow night! I have reached a negotiation result with those foreigners!"
"As for the evacuation time, it will be tomorrow night."
When everyone in the foreign concession focused their attention on the follow-up battle at Sihang Warehouse, the Chairman personally called Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th German Arms Division, to give instructions.
"Yes! Commission!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
Mr. Sun immediately agreed.
Immediately, he also had someone contact Zhang Boting, the chief of staff in the foreign concession, and conveyed the chairman's instructions for all troops in Sihang Warehouse to evacuate.
After receiving the order,
Chief of Staff Zhang Boting also had a complicated mood and was ready to thoroughly implement this combat instruction.
Because he has also assisted President He and Mrs. Song in completing the matter of raising supplies.
It's just that these donations have just been completed and the supplies have not yet been delivered to the hands of the national army at Sihang Warehouse. Now they are faced with evacuating all these anti-Japanese heroic troops into the foreign concessions.
Although he had anticipated such a result early on,
But when it came time to personally notify the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, he felt a little bit complicated.
But in the end, he still went to carry out the evacuation mission this time.
At this time, British Commander Smartet was listening to a report from a communications soldier under his command.
"Well! I understand! You go and reply to the Queen and the Prime Minister! I know how to deal with this!"
After hearing this, British Commander Smartet immediately ordered the communications troops to reply to the top brass of the British Army.
The British signal corps agreed and immediately followed the order.
"The supreme commander-in-chief of the Chinese army has agreed to allow the defenders holding the Sihang Warehouse to evacuate and enter our place tomorrow!"
"It seems we have to make arrangements here too!"
"But we also need to think about how we should arrange these Chinese troops after they enter our concession. Is it better to place them centrally?"
"And we still don't know how many Chinese troops there are in this Sixing Warehouse!"
"Based on their battles with the Japanese troops in the past few days, I feel that there must be at least more than a thousand troops inside!"
"Maybe there are more than 2,000 troops lurking inside!"
"With so many Chinese troops entering our concession at once, I'm worried that the Japanese troops will do something to oppose it!"
"Although we are not afraid of these little Japanese soldiers at all, I feel it is better to introduce this farce earlier. The battle between them has kept us freezing here for many days. Days like this are not good.
Feel good!"
"So I hope to resolve the incident here as soon as possible, take a good vacation, and enjoy a calm and peaceful life!"
When British Commander Smartet received instructions from above to assist the national troops in Sihang Warehouse to evacuate into the concession, French Commander Tony Paca also came over and opened the topic in a good mood.
.
"Well! You and I have the same idea!"
"As for the placement of these Chinese troops, I have already thought of a place. Anyway, as soon as they came over, they immediately disarmed all their weapons and equipment to ensure our safety here!"
"As for the Japanese army's protest, just leave it to our diplomats to handle!"
British commander Smartet also nodded in agreement.
"Okay! We actually have the same idea, so the next step will be easy to handle!"
French commander Tony Paca nodded in a very good mood.
Then they continued to set their sights on the other side of Sihang Warehouse to see if any unexpected battle would break out in Sihang Warehouse today.
You must know that the Sihang Warehouse is already on the roof, and the commander of the 1st Battalion, Army Major Yang Ruifu, personally raised the flag.
This is 100% provoking the Japanese army's bottom line, so the Japanese army's revenge will definitely come soon.
I just don’t know what the Japanese army’s retaliatory attack will be like.
Inside Sihang Warehouse,
After raising the flag and preparing to go down to the warehouse to continue defensive operations,
Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz!
Two menacing Japanese planes also quickly flew to the roof of the Sihang Warehouse, and then began to launch ferocious heavy machine guns and began a crazy strafing attack.
All of a sudden, the flag guard and the national army officers and soldiers who were relatively close to the flag were injured or killed.
If it weren't for Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion, who finished raising the flag and handed it over to the flag bearers,
At this moment, he was probably going to be shot by Japanese planes and lay in a pool of blood.
"The devilish Japanese planes are coming to attack us again!"
"Give me cover immediately, as well as anti-aircraft machine gunners, and launch a counterattack immediately!"
"Quick! Let the other anti-aircraft machine guns given to us by Battalion Commander He begin to operate together and launch a counterattack. Shoot down these two Japanese planes for me!"
After being attacked by Japanese planes, Xie Jinyuan, the regimental deputy army lieutenant colonel who was the first to react, immediately commanded the troops to evade and launch an anti-aircraft machine gun counterattack, and immediately launched an anti-aircraft machine gun counterattack.
All of a sudden, the entire roof of the Sihang Warehouse became hectic. The sounds of heavy machine guns fired by Japanese aircraft and the counterattacks of anti-aircraft machine guns by the National Army were heard everywhere.
At this time, there were a total of four anti-aircraft machine guns on the roof of the building, constantly strafing the Japanese aircraft conducting low-altitude strafing attacks.
Facing the dense and ferocious rain of bullets from anti-aircraft machine guns in counterattack and strafing operations,
The two Japanese Type 96 aircraft, which had been fighting fiercely just now, were suddenly beaten and hurriedly raised their flying altitude to avoid the hail of bullets from those deadly anti-aircraft machine guns.
Since these Type 96 fighter jets did not receive combat orders to drop aerial bombs, they could only use their onboard heavy machine guns to attack this time.
Without the air defense of the anti-aircraft machine gun group, the attack by the two Japanese planes just now could still kill a lot of Chinese officers and soldiers, but now there are four anti-aircraft machine guns in the air defense counterattack.
For a time, these two Japanese fighter jets also lost any air superiority.
He even had to be busy facing counterattacks from these four anti-aircraft machine guns that were constantly spitting out deadly rains of bullets.
So the two Japanese planes, after conducting several rounds of attacks and feeling that they had not gained much combat advantage, were unwilling to withdraw and evacuated.
However, when flying away, the two Japanese planes still fired all the last ammunition on board.
And he also successfully shot several national army anti-aircraft machine guns and turned them into wounded and dead soldiers.
However, there was also a Japanese plane that was hit in the tail by a group of anti-aircraft machine guns because it attacked too low, and was damaged.
As for whether he could successfully fly back to the Japanese airfield in the end, it is unclear.
That day, after the fleet was repelled by the fierce firepower of the anti-aircraft machine gun group,
Xie Jinyuan, deputy army lieutenant colonel of the regiment, also immediately commanded the troops to count the number of casualties and treat the wounded.
After doing these things,
Before he could lecture his subordinates, a communications soldier came to him in a hurry.
And asked him to immediately answer the call from Chief of Staff Zhang Boting,
Said it was an emergency.
After hearing this,
Regiment Deputy Army Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan also gave instructions to the 1st Battalion Commander Army Major Yang Ruifu.
I immediately went to the warehouse to answer the call from Chief of Staff Zhang Boting.
Soon, he knew the combat instructions that he would need to take his troops to evacuate Sihang Warehouse and enter the foreign concession tomorrow.
After hearing this news that was completely beyond his expectation,
Xie Jinyuan, deputy army lieutenant colonel of the regiment, was in a very complicated mood. He held the phone that had been hung up and fell into a daze. He did not recover for a long time.
At this time, He Feiyang had already commanded his Sichuan troops to dig the underground tunnel very far.
As for where the direction is,
When He Feiyang led people out of the tunnel, he didn't know it for a while.
You won't know until you go out.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, He Feiyang first dispatched a reconnaissance force to conduct reconnaissance of the situation in the nearby area.
But no matter what,
He also knew very well that it would be very difficult to get to the capital from the occupied Songhu.
