It only took an hour to get dark.

A middle-aged soldier and four fully armed Chinese soldiers, under the escort of four Western soldiers, crossed the barbed wire of the concession and went down to the cold Suzhou River.

The machine guns of the Western Alliance forces located in the fortifications on the banks of the Suzhou River were aimed at the two wings of the Sihang Warehouse for the first time, showing their importance to the Chinese soldier.

Just looking at its golden collar seal, you will know that it is a general.

But obviously, that's not the most important thing.

Importantly, that is the hope of ordering the warehouse defenders to retreat tonight.

Once he was shot with a machine gun by a Japanese madman, the Westerners in the concession would be crazy.

Fortunately, the Hokkaido fisherman Major had been instructed by his own collude in private, so he chose to turn a blind eye and pretend to be ignored, missing out on his military achievements that could kill a Chinese general.

Maybe even if he knows, he will choose to miss it!

The 36th Infantry Regiment had long lost its intention to fight and just wanted to end this almost suicide-like offensive and defensive battle as soon as possible.

The warehouse defenders naturally knew about the movement of the five people swimming across the Suzhou River, but the ropes pulled the visitor to the second floor, and Shangguan Yun, who was responsible for the defense of the entire building, was still shocked.

He didn't expect that the chief of staff of the division came to the warehouse in person. Fortunately, this person brought his own dry clothes when he came. Otherwise, a wet major general would not look good when he came to nearly 400 officers and soldiers in the warehouse to speak.

The Army Lieutenant Colonel was a little surprised but not too surprised at the arrival of the Chief of Staff of the Division, but respect was necessary.

After receiving the notice from Shangguan Yun, he brought Yang Ruifu to greet him immediately, and notified the other four company commanders to come and meet the commander.

But the major general was cold-faced throughout the whole process. The four guards even placed their hands on the trigger of the MP28 submachine gun hanging on their chests throughout the process, and did not let it go for a moment.

That turned out to be a defensive attitude.

Apart from Tang Dao and Yang Ruifu, who knew the inside story, the other four new majors looked at each other, wondering how they provoked this usually kind-hearted major general Chief of Staff.

It was not until he rushed straight to the communication room and personally checked that the field radio station could not turn on due to insufficient battery power, and his expression was slightly relieved.

"I don't have tea, so I can only let you drink hot water." When the Army Lieutenant Colonel saw that the person's face relaxed, he immediately waved outside and asked the orderly soldiers to pour water.

"Okay, don't behave badly! I know it's not easy for you." The major general, whose face was much calmer, sighed slightly, sat on the main seat of the conference table, waved his hand to let the rest of the officers sit down.

My eyes swept to the Lieutenant Colonel of the Army who was sitting beside him, "Central Min! You and my brothers are here to fight against the hardships of the Japanese invaders, but you..."

After a moment of pause, his face became a little serious: "You must have received the military orders from the division headquarters and the theater command!"

"I......"

After all, the Army Lieutenant Colonel was an orthodox soldier. After all, he was a little indescribable to let him mess with him in front of his boss.

"What? I haven't thought of a reason for it for a day?" The major general snorted coldly.

"It is understandable that the field radio station cannot be turned on and cannot receive the military orders from the theater command and the division headquarters, but yesterday, the Military Control Commission came three times in a row, all of whom were holding the military orders with the seal of the theater command and the command I personally told before leaving, but what happened? What about the people?"

"There are people, they are locked up!" A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel.

"Seat, four days ago, you and the teacher ordered our troops to guard the Sihang Warehouse for seven days and nights, even if all the members died in battle, they would be willing to do so.

When the Japanese invaders could not capture it for a long time, our troops suddenly received an order that was contrary to the previous military order. How dare I believe it easily?

Moreover, early this morning, after fire reconnaissance, the Japanese army had ambushed heavy machine guns in advance on the positions near the river, which was clearly a premeditated ambush.

What's more, my brothers and I decided to die to guard this place to inspire our determination to fight against the war. We also hope that the attendants would convey to the division and the theater command the determination of all officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment. The people were in the position. "The Army Lieutenant Colonel became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and his body was straight.

"Shangguan Yun agrees and swears to follow the commander to the death!"

"Deng Ying agreed to fight the Japanese invaders to the end!"

"Shi Hao agreed and decided to live and die with Sihang Warehouse!"

......

After the Army Lieutenant Colonel's statement, he realized that the theater and the division headquarters had ordered the withdrawal from yesterday and the company commanders looked at each other, and stood up to express their support for the Army Lieutenant Colonel.

Obviously, although the Army Lieutenant Colonel was transferred from the regiment affiliate (Chief of Staff) to the deputy regiment and acting regiment commander two months ago, his outstanding personal charm and command skills have been recognized by these grassroots officers. Even if he wanted to take everyone to the gates of hell, the grassroots officers were willing to follow him.

Of course, the reason why these soldiers dare and are willing to die for them is not one person, but a group of people.

Since the war with the Japanese army started, nearly 10,000 people have been standing on the side of the battlefield with artillery fire, and the woman in green sang at the gun of the Japanese invaders and sang in unison with bloody war drums. The people sang "Big Sword, Cut the Japanese Heads" in unison... These scenes are the best augmentation agent for the soldiers.

They may still die, but they are definitely not alone.

Behind them are tens of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people. They are not fighting for military merits and their superiors, but for the country, the nation, and the Chinese people all over the world.

They are soldiers and ordinary people.

But no matter how ordinary you are, you still have dreams in your heart, dreaming that you will no longer be ordinary one day.

This battle made them feel that they might be no longer ordinary, and they could feel the true respect and respect for heroes in the eyes of the beautiful reporter who should have been unattainable.

It turns out that they have the opportunity to become the national heroes mentioned in the play, and their names will also be written on the future Chinese Victory Commemorative Plaque.

Supreme glory!

It is glorious for this, I would rather sacrifice!

The major general's eyes slid across the faces of the officers who stood up and followed their commander to express their opinions. All of them were firm.

I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

As a soldier who has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, the major general can certainly judge what is true and what is false. Xie Jinyuan needs to say no. When he received the order to come to Sihang Warehouse a few days ago, the major general already knew his intention to serve the country.

But he didn't expect that these young lieutenants who were only 30 years old had such a firm determination to die.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the army of Sihang Warehouse refused to receive the military order in disguise and wanted him to come here in person at a huge risk, but now, he understands their intentions a little.

These people really want to do something for the country and the nation! Even if they don’t hesitate to take out their lives.

On the battlefield, people who spare no effort to save their lives are the most respectable, even if they are a general, they are no exception.

The major general stood up slowly, with a burst of admiration in his eyes, but a wry smile appeared on his face: "You guys are going to put me, the chief of staff, on the fire, right?"

"I've bothered the sir!" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army apologized.

"Sit first! The military order is here, you can see it yourself." With a sigh, the major general placed a military order on Table Mountain, turned around and walked towards the window facing the concession, without saying a word for a long time.

Obviously, for this general, retreating or not retreating is a dilemma, but he is just a wave in the river of China, and he cannot even control his own destiny, and it is even more in vain to discuss his subordinates.
