"Hiss! How come there are so many mortars firing together?"
"When did the Chinese army have such elite troops with powerful equipment? Not only did they kill almost 3,000 Japanese soldiers in a short counterattack, but they also had so many mortars to launch a salvo attack?"
"??????"
When listening to the deafening volley bombing sound of the mortar group, the British commander Smallett was the first to exclaim in shock.
Although it is not a heavy artillery group bombing, the intensive bombing of 120 82mm mortars is still very powerful. The shaking of the earth also shakes all the foreign troops.
The people in the foreign concession who were still braving the darkness and cold weather to watch were stunned and stunned.
Even many people were afraid that those mortar shells would explode on their side, so some people panicked and ran around looking for bunkers.
But after so many mortars fired several salvos,
After the entire foreign concession fell into a deathly silence,
It also started to become agitated and active.
Especially after the British commander Smallett, who was the first to react, exclaimed,
The other foreign officers also began to get excited.
"Hurry up and call the supreme commander of the Chinese army. They will never be allowed to continue to use so many mortars for combat!"
"The consequence of what they did was that they wanted the Japanese army to use artillery groups and heavy artillery groups to carry out counterattack bombing, which was a wrong way of combat!"
"Hurry up and let our diplomats handle this matter, and inform our senior officials about this dangerous matter. Otherwise, if it is too late and the Japanese artillery group counterattacks, then the two large gas tanks next to the Sihang Warehouse will be destroyed."
The tank will be blown up at any time, causing a huge explosion!"
"The consequences will be disastrous!"
The French commander Tony Paca was panicked and shouted instructions.
"I'm going to contact our senior management right away to stop this fight from continuing!"
"Didn't we agree that the fighting would be over by letting the Chinese troops evacuate into the concession? Why are they still fighting now? And they have dispatched such powerful elite ace troops to counterattack the Japanese troops?"
"What exactly is going on?"
The commander of the American cavalry unit, Blas Pitt, also looked flustered and said anxiously.
At the same time, he hurriedly called his senior management to report and requested support in handling this urgent combat situation.
On the French side, after the French commander Tony Paca issued the instructions, they quickly contacted their senior officials and made an urgent report.
The situation on the British side is exactly the same.
As for the rest of the onlookers, including all celebrities, patriots, and citizens from all walks of life, including those passionate and patriotic students and girl guides, they were all shocked by the unbelievable battle situation.
I was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
On the other hand, the Japanese army was miserable.
There were Japanese officers and soldiers killed and injured everywhere,
Even Major General Katayama Riichiro, the brigade commander who had just been preparing to die with Sihang Warehouse, was blown up by the ferocious mortar shells along with the Japanese guards around him and became cannon fodder.
"."
Commander Matsui Iwane who survived the disaster,
At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat,
The dense and terrifying bombardment just now was actually the first time in his life that he had been to the battlefield in person, and it was the most dangerous combat situation he had ever faced.
There is no one,
So even though he survived, he was still terrified inside.
Because he was almost injured in the bombing,
If he hadn't been so far away,
I'm afraid his name will appear on the list of wounded and wounded Japanese soldiers.
"Baga Yalu! Damn the China Army, how dare you use so many mortars to fight back?"
"Is this a provocation that they want us to use heavy artillery units for counterattack?"
"In this case, if these damn Chinese troops don't have any scruples, then our Imperial Army doesn't need to give them any scruples either!"
"Give me the order for all artillery units, including heavy artillery units, to prepare for artillery bombing of the Sihang Warehouse. I want these damn Chinese troops to all become cannon fodder!"
"In addition, inform our aviation force to prepare for air strikes and bombings. I will level the entire Sihang Warehouse and turn it into ruins!"
"Baga Yalu! Damn the China Army, they almost blew me up too!"
"I will take revenge for this revenge immediately!"
Then, while he was still in shock, Commander Matsui Iwane went crazy and kept roaring.
Especially when he saw that the Japanese troops in front of him had suffered over a thousand casualties again,
After even the brigade commander Major General Katayama Riichiro, whom he considered a waste, was turned into cannon fodder,
Commander Matsui Iwane's rage and murderous intent had already exploded uncontrollably.
So he without any scruple ordered the use of heavy artillery groups, all artillery groups, and even the aviation force to bomb the Sihang Warehouse, vowing to blow the Sihang Warehouse into rubble.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Following Commander Matsui Iwane’s roaring orders,
All the officers who delivered the order kept on nodding and bowing their heads in agreement.
But at this time, He Feiyang immediately ordered all the clone officers and soldiers to complete the bombardment, and quickly followed the large troops to evacuate.
They quickly evacuated and entered Sihang Warehouse.
And went down to the underground tunnel, where the evacuation was carried out.
However, during the evacuation, He Feiyang also had some time bombs placed on the first floor of the Sihang Warehouse and detonated.
Of course, the power of the explosion will not be too great. At most, it will only blow up the first floor of the Sihang Warehouse, but it will not blow up the entire Sihang Warehouse.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom."
After He Feiyang's troops evacuated through the underground tunnel,
There was a series of explosion sounds, but there were continuous violent explosions on the first floor of Sihang Warehouse and the bottom floor of the underground tunnel.
Pieces of gunpowder smoke quickly drifted out from inside and outside.
Over there in the foreign concession,
"It was an explosion! Did you all hear it? There was an explosion on the first floor and basement on the other side of Sihang Warehouse! What happened inside? Why did it explode suddenly? It couldn't be that Japanese troops invaded inside
Go for it!”
"No way! Weren't those Japanese troops just now bombarded by the horrific bombardment of a large number of mortars from the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, causing many casualties? How could they carry out the attack again so quickly?
In a counterattack, can we still break into the Sihang Warehouse?"
"Then what's going on with the explosion now? It's night now, and we can't see clearly what's going on on the other side! Isn't it the Japanese artillery and heavy artillery units that have started counterattack bombing operations?"
"Hiss! No way! If so, then we have to leave here as soon as possible. You must know that there are two huge gas tanks next to Sihang Warehouse! Once they are detonated, then we will suffer.
!”
"That's right! I feel that the current battle situation seems to be completely beyond the scope of our imagination. For our personal safety, I think it is better to leave here quickly! Or go farther away to watch the battle!"
"Leave quickly! Those foreign troops have already driven their cars to drive us away!"
"I see foreign troops coming, let's leave quickly!"
Following such a sudden huge explosion,
Many onlookers were frightened and started talking.
But soon, foreign troops were sent over to disperse them and leave.
"The Chinese and Japanese troops must stop fighting immediately. They want to play with fire and burn themselves, but we will not let them do this. If they want to die, they cannot drag us to die with them!"
"I want them to know the tough attitudes and methods of our countries!"
Looking at the smoke-filled first floor of the Sixings Warehouse after the explosion, the British commander Smartet was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Then when he came to his senses, he gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Yes! I will also call our senior management immediately. We must make the Chinese and Japanese troops stop fighting in the Sixing Warehouse, otherwise we will punish them severely!"
"This is a deadly operation that they want to take over our concession and also affect it!"
"I will never allow them to do this!"
French commander Tony Paca also had a ferocious look on his face and said angrily.
As for the commander of the American cavalry unit, Blas Pitt, he has already taken practical action and reported the latest explosion situation at the Sihang Warehouse to his senior management.
And at this time,
"."
Commander Matsui Iwane.
He had just issued a combat order to use the heavy artillery group and the aviation force to bomb the Sihang Warehouse. He was also shocked and confused by such a sudden and unpreventable explosion.
Because his battle order has just been issued,
Our own Japanese heavy artillery force and aviation force have not yet gone into action.
But on the first floor and the bottom floor of the basement on the other side of the Sihang Warehouse, a series of explosions suddenly occurred.
He also couldn't figure out what abnormal situation happened in Sihang Warehouse.
Therefore, he was also stunned by such a strange explosion situation, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"."
All the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers.
"."
Including the Japanese artillerymen who were preparing for artillery bombardment.
They also had puzzled and stunned expressions on their faces.
"."
Xie Jinyuan, deputy army lieutenant colonel of the regiment.
"."
Army Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the 1st Battalion.
"."
The commander of the first company, Army Captain Shangguan Zhibiao,
"."
All officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th German Arms Regiment.
There were many people who had the same expression as Commander Matsui Iwane, including all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th German Arms Regiment who had successfully evacuated into the foreign concession.
