Chapter 0044 Take the four-line warehouse in three hours!
"Sir, I have a plan."
"Youhe, please speak quickly!"
Isao Konoe looked happy because finally someone had an idea.
He felt that the most correct thing he did was to drag them together to have a caesarean section. Otherwise, these little grandsons would still be pretending to be dead.
At this time, it was Zaemon who proposed the strategy. Zaemon was the group with the fewest casualties in the 68th Regiment and still retained a very complete combat effectiveness.
Zaemon said: "Your Excellency, I believe that a frontal charge is very detrimental to our army.
The front of the Sihang Warehouse is an open area, and the Chinese soldiers are located high up. It is very difficult for our soldiers to build defensive positions or charge.
But it would be different if we had armored vehicles, as long as our armored divisions..."
"Baga, are you a pig? It will take two to three days for the armored corps closest to us to arrive. Do you want me to wait here for two days? Or three days? I don't think it will be necessary.
One day, we will all have to commit seppuku."
Isao Konoe scolded loudly, but at this moment, a phone call came.
Isao Konoe hesitated for a moment and then answered the phone.
Sure enough, it was not good news. Iwane Matsui, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, loudly reprimanded when Isao Konoe answered the phone: "Baga, how long are you going to open a small four-row warehouse? Are you in
A division of the Chinese people?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Matsui, the Sihang Warehouse is very strong, and our mortars were unable to penetrate its outer wall head-on. And the cunning Chinese people blew up the buildings on the left and right wings, leaving us helpless for a while.
Your Excellency, I request the support of the armored forces so that I can capture the Sihang Warehouse within an hour."
Konoe requested, but at this moment, Matsui Iwane became furious: "Baga, the armored unit closest to you will take two to three days to arrive. Do you still want me to wait for you?
Two days or three days?
I can wait, but can the Empire wait? This war has been dragged on for too long. The Empire is under unprecedented pressure from public opinion.
The Nine Kingdoms Guild is about to be convened, and this battle in Songhu must end before the Nine Kingdoms Guild is convened, do you understand?"
"Hi!"
Isao Konoe was scolded bloody, but he still had to show a humble attitude that he was wrong.
"Tomorrow, before noon tomorrow at the latest, I want to see the flag of my Empire of Japan flying above the Sihang Warehouse."
After Iwane Matsui said that, he hung up the phone.
Isao Konoe let out a long breath at this time, because he finally passed today's test.
But what to do next? Seize the Sihang Warehouse by tomorrow at the latest. This is simply a fantasy.
If the Yamamoto Battalion and the Kumano Battalion were still there, he could have captured the Sihang Warehouse with a mass of people. But at this time, his 68th Regiment was already disabled.
What's more, using a regiment of troops to fight for one of the Chinese warehouses is simply a waste of the lives of imperial soldiers.
Isao Konoe was frowning, but Major Inu suddenly had an idea. He suggested: "Sir, although we don't have a real armored vehicle, we can build one ourselves."
"Nani?"
Konoe Isao was very surprised and thought to himself: Xiaoquan, you are so powerful, can you still build an armored vehicle by yourself? But is it too late?
Seeing Konoe's confusion, Xiao Quantan quickly explained: "Your Excellency, it's like this. We can imitate the ancient shields, and then do this, this, this,..."
"Youxi, your plan is very good, let's do it like this!"
Isao Konoe nodded with great satisfaction, and then confidently reported to Commander Matsui that he would take down the Sihang Warehouse within three hours tomorrow and eliminate the Chinese soldiers inside.
Commander Matsui was very happy and said: "Konoe-kun, I appreciate you for having such a consciousness. I will tell those arrogant British now that the Chinese people will be wiped out by us soon. If they don't listen to us anymore
If so, I will destroy them together."
"Your Excellency is right. We should teach those arrogant British people a lesson. Let them know who is the master of this land in Asia and break their myth that the sun never sets."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Matsui finished talking on the phone. But he was still unfinished, so he picked up the phone again, dialed the number of the British consul, and said arrogantly:
"Tomorrow, our Imperial Japanese Army will wipe out the Chinese soldiers on the north bank of the Suzhou River within three hours. If our Imperial Japanese soldiers find that there are people in the concession and military supplies have been transported to the north bank, we will
The Empire of Japan will no longer fulfill all the treaties signed between the two countries, and it will no longer be able to guarantee the security of your British Concession. Do you understand?"
"you?......"
Bah!
The British consul was very angry and was about to say something, but Matsui hung up the phone arrogantly.
The British consul had a bad premonition at this time. If he continued to indulge the anti-Japanese enthusiasm in the south bank and did not take any action, the Japanese would really attack.
So he quickly contacted the police department and ordered them all to mobilize. From tonight to noon tomorrow, no one can approach the river embankment. He also immediately printed newspapers to let all the Chinese on the south bank know that if they continued to support the Anti-Japanese War, everyone would be
They will all be buried with him.
"Extra, extra, the Japanese are making wild claims, claiming to take over the Sihang Warehouse within three hours tomorrow!"
"Come and give me a newspaper!"
"Give me one too!..."
The printing speed of newspapers is very fast. Within two hours, articles can be written, typeset, printed and sold. And the supply exceeds the demand.
Because at this time, everyone wanted to see what was going on.
But after reading it, I was furious because there was only one title and no substantive content at all.
However, they finally figured out that the Japanese troops fighting the independent regiment were actually the Japanese Marine Regiment and not the Marine Corps.
The Japanese Marine Corps and the Marine Corps are completely different concepts. The Japanese Marine Corps is the Japanese third-rate force. The Japanese Marine Corps is the main force of the Japanese army.
And if these marine regiments had not joined the Battle of Songhu, I am afraid that all the little devils would have been driven into the sea and fed to the bastards.
"This is the Marine regiment that the little devils can fight best. Now the independent regiment will suffer a loss."
"Yes, they have no support and their military strength is very different?"
"Let's go, let's find a way to get them some ammunition, right?"
"Yes, yes, even if we can't go to the battlefield in person, we still have to send some supplies."
···············
After reading the newspaper, a group of patriotic people prepared to donate another batch of supplies, even weapons, ammunition, etc. to send across the river.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, police sirens suddenly sounded, and a large number of police and multinational soldiers appeared, directly occupying the river embankment along the south bank. No one was allowed to get close! ...
