Act 15: The capture of the Japanese headquarters
"Commander Yanze, the Chinese army... the Chinese army and they..."
Yuki Yanze, who was in a daze at the Zhabei map in the Marine Corps Command, saw someone breaking in in a panic. Not only did he not feel dissatisfied at all, but his gloomy face suddenly stretched out.
"How about Ozawa Jun? Is our troops already attacking the North Station? When will we be able to take it down?"
"No, in fact... our troops that launched an attack along the streets were not able to attack the North Station, but were instead annihilated by the counter-shock of the Chinese army! And at this time a Chinese army was advancing here! I have ordered Yamamoto Squadron to block the attack, but I don't know how long it will be delayed. Please transfer quickly by the Commander!"
Yuki Yanze stared at Ozawa, who was panting and serious, and he didn't think he was joking no matter how he looked. Moreover, this person worked with him for many years and had never heard of him joking about such important issues. But despite this, Yuki Yanze could not believe what he had just heard. He knew that his situation was not good at the moment, and the North Railway Station could not be captured for a long time, and the troops suffered heavy losses, but it was not so miserable that he was attacked by the Chinese army, which even had unequal weapons and equipment, was it?
At this time, Yukihiro Shinze hesitated. Although reason told him that what Ozawa said should be the fact, he subconsciously resisted this information and could not figure out the situation for a while, so he just continued to stand there blankly.
Seeing that his commander had no intention of evacuating, Ozawa was still in a daze and was still in a daze. He was anxious and was about to speak and continue to persuade Yuki Yanze to leave, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a burst of artillery fire from outside - Qiongjun's artillery completed the best persuasion for him.
"Ozawa Jun, arrange for all officers to evacuate immediately. Senior officers of the empire must not be captured by the Chinese army. Even if they are killed in battle, it is a shame for the empire! Also, burn the files immediately, and all valuable things in it must be destroyed! Well... In addition, inform Nishimura Nakasa on the front line to let him return to the rescue as quickly as possible, and be sure to dare to arrive before the arrival of the Chinese army."
When Yuichi Shinozawa heard the explosion sounded outside, he already understood the seriousness of the situation. No one in his troops dared to throw bombs at the headquarters, and there were so many throws. Therefore, the only explanation was that as Ozawa said, the Chinese army attacked.
Although Yukiichi Shinozawa still didn't know what methods these Chinese people used to attack all the way, it did not prevent him from making a correct judgment after realizing the reality:
He had already put almost all the troops he could draw into the attack, and since this Chinese troops could rush here, it means that the troops he arranged in the city were in danger. The only thing he could do now was to hope that the troops attacking along the railway could return to aid in time and repel the Chinese people's attack. However, he did not guarantee whether they could arrive on time and repel the Chinese people's attack. He could not put all his bets on it, so just in case, he still issued an order to retreat.
As for the navy's warships? Although the Marine Corps Command is indeed within the range of large caliber naval guns, it is impossible to achieve accurate artillery attacks at such distances. Compared with the Chinese troops hiding in the corner, his headquarters is more powerful and more likely to get shells. He does not want the headquarters to be destroyed by the Chinese army and instead is destroyed by his own artillery.

In front of the Japanese Marine Corps Command in Shanghai, Xiao Jun and Captain Xu and others arrived and found that a group of Japanese troops were planning to come out, and there were several more sandbag-filled carts than ordinary infantry equipment. Needless to ask, they must be coming out to build a defensive position. Obviously, the Japanese army has already learned about their affairs, but it would be too late to be busy building a position at this time.
Captain Xu sneered and shouted loudly: "Blow me, beat me hard! Fuck them to death!"
As a lieutenant and squadron leader of the Japanese Marine Corps, Yamamoto was always proud of being the leader. He was at the forefront of the team every time he was in charge of the battle and was always on the front line. For this reason, he received a lot of praise. This time, he also implemented his fine habits.
But at this moment, Yamamoto regretted it very much. He began to feel that this habit of bringing countless honors and promotions to him was really a bad habit. No matter how many honors or high military ranks were, how could he be more important than his life?
Why did he regret it? Because just as he led the team out of the headquarters gate, a truck suddenly turned around the corner of the street, and a double-mounted anti-aircraft gun was installed on the rear of the truck full of sandbags! The black muzzle was pointing at him ruthlessly. Before he could react, he felt his body as if it was lightly rising into the air, and then it stopped, and then it fell heavily to the ground. His consciousness gradually blurred, and his glory and status all disappeared...
The rapid-firing anti-aircraft cannons frantically harvested the lives of Yamamoto's soldiers, and these poor people could not even make any counterattack in the face of such a violent metal storm. The only thing they could do was to run back behind the wall of the headquarters before they became the next victim of the flying shrapnel to hide, and avoid the scythe of the god of death.
Seeing that the Japanese army became in chaos under the continuous shooting of anti-aircraft guns, how could such a good opportunity be missed by the brothers of the 19th Route Army in the final battle formation?
"Occurrence! Attack! The Japanese devils' headquarters is right in front, brothers, rush!"
With a loud roar, the brothers of the 19th Route Army carried on the truck began to rush into the Japanese Marine Corps Command frantically. Because they were bombarded just now, the Japanese soldiers had no time to stop them and rushed into the yard by the 19th Route Army soldiers in the chaos.
Outside the gate of the Japanese Marine Corps Command in Shanghai, a Japanese soldier who was shocked by the explosion had just stood up staggeringly. Just when he was about to figure out what was going on, the 19th Route Army soldier who had rushed to him gave him a bayonet and sent a sharp blade into his lower abdomen. Then he ignored the dead man and quickly followed the team and ran into the headquarters compound.
Seeing the 19th Route Army sending the Japanese invaders who were fleeing by artillery to reincarnate, Xiao Jun, who was young and energetic, could not withstand it. He immediately grabbed his rifle, opened the door and got out of the car, and said to Captain Xu: "Captain Xu, please let me hold a meeting in person next time. The number of brothers in the 19th Route Army is not large. We are afraid that they will suffer losses, so we will go to reinforce!"
Immediately, Xiao Jun yelled, "Kill the Japanese!", and followed the steps of the brothers of the 19th Route Army and rushed into the Marine Corps Command.
Looking at the young men around him who were furious by Xiao Jun, Captain Xu smiled bitterly: "You want to go too?"
Everyone nodded without a doubt.
"But what should you do if you leave our car?"
Everyone was speechless.
"Okay, okay, they have their tasks, and we also have our tasks. Four cars spread out to surround the Japanese headquarters and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the brothers of the 19th Route Army. Before that, no Japanese are allowed to come in, nor can anyone be let out!"
When Xiao Jun rushed into the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters in Shanghai, the brothers of the 19th Route Army had already made fire with the Japanese.
After the first chaos, the Japanese garrison troops stationed in the headquarters were of excellent quality. They immediately relied on the walls as bunkers, behind the railings, behind the stone pillars, and behind the windows. Moreover, not only the Japanese garrison troops, but also in order to save their lives, many civilians and senior officials in the headquarters who did not participate in the battle also picked up guns to help fight.
Since Xiao Jun and his team brought not many brothers this time, they could not capture the headquarters building for a while, and were suppressed by the Japanese army's number. However, they were not worried that they would not be able to capture the building, because they had received a notice from their headquarters through the Qiong Army's radio station, saying that the subsequent troops had set off and could soon rush to the Japanese headquarters for reinforcements.
Calculate the time, as long as they can stay here for twenty minutes and not give the Japanese a chance to escape, their reinforcements can arrive and then wipe out the big fish!

"How is it? Did Nakasa Nishimura reply? "In a dark basement in the Japanese army headquarters, Yuki Shinozawa was excited when he saw the telegram in Ozawa's hand. What he wanted to hear the most now was the news that Nishimura's return troops arrived.
Ozawa smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In the telegram, Nishimura Nakasa said that their troops encountered a fierce attack led by the Chinese army with two armored trains during the attack. The troops suffered heavy losses and asked us to... provide tactical guidance..."
After hearing the four words "tactical guidance", he no longer had any hope. The Japanese army felt that requesting support was more harmful to face, so they usually used requesting tactical guidance instead. Once someone made such a request, it would be extremely shameful, and it also meant that the army was really at the end of its reach.
"Let's go, let's go, I can't hold on here anymore..." Yuki Yanze waved his hand dejectedly. He was really discouraged and could only accept the humiliating ending of escaping from the secret passage connecting the sewer. (To be continued)
