The temporary command of the 3rd Japanese Infantry Brigade 500 meters away from the left wing of the warehouse.

Fukuchijiro sat on the stool, closing his eyes slightly in the dim light, as if he was wandering around Taixu.

As a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, the Japanese colonel slowly opened his eyes.

"Have the Imperial Intelligence Services in the Concession sent a message?"

"Hi! Your Excellency the Regiment Captain, the "Mount Fuji" that provided our army with top secret information in the evening just called. One infantry company had already crossed the river in the first battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the enemy had already covered some heavy equipment on the way across the river. According to its estimation of force, there was still an infantry company and most of the machine cannon company behind the hall." Makino Shun held the information sent from the concession in his hand and whispered to report.

"These damn Chinese people are still so cautious at this time." Anger flashed in Fukichiro's eyes.

You must be angry! I hate this Chinese army because it hurts the 36th Infantry Regiment, and anger is more due to being deceived.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, a senior imperial spy hidden by the Western Alliance in the Concession, code-named "Mount Fuji" sent a secret message to the Songhu Expeditionary Army Headquarters. Only after the Third Division knew the specific organization and detailed number of enemies that had been fighting against him for several days.

There was no group, nor the "Eight Hundred" bragging in Chinese newspapers, but there were only 400 people.

Eight times the Chinese troops were beaten to such a fallen water. How could the 3rd Division feel?

The super unlucky guy, Weichijiro, was scolded by the angry Japanese lieutenant general in the telegram.

Originally, the Japanese colonel, who had been defeated, did not intend to make any trouble tonight, so he was preparing to wait for the Chinese defenders to enter the concession, and then use diplomatic pressure to force the concession to surrender and directly harvest the fruits of victory.

But after being scolded by the division commander who was angry, Hashijiro, who knew the real strength of the warehouse defenders, had a new idea.

Let them go half of them and attack them halfway, so that the Chinese who had already gone to the concession could watch their comrades behind the palace be wiped out. Isn’t it a very pleasing picture?

It must be pleasing to the eyes. Imagine the Chinese soldiers who have been disarmed by the concession garrison, watching their comrades being killed one by one, but their powerless expressions were like this. The Japanese colonel wanted to laugh out loud.

Even if the last of the men were retracted into the warehouse to resist, he was not worried that the 400 people had a solid fortress and sufficient heavy firepower, and it was difficult for him to fight, but if there were less than one-third of the troops, the number 2,000 people in his 36th Infantry Regiment could drown them if they spit!

"Master Yoshito, order your heavy machine gun squadron to enter the position." Fukuchiro stood up with a sinister face.

"At the same time, the 3rd Infantry Battalion entered the trenches and pointed the muzzle at the concession garrison. If the other party attacks us, I authorize you to fight back."

"Hi!" Yin Tengzhongji bowed his head and took the order.

His eyes turned to Makino Toshiba who was beside him and pondered: "Mr. Makino, please send this message to the division headquarters in five minutes, and ask them to forward it to the Concession Garage Command. The message is as follows:

Our army attacked the Chinese on our battlefield. If your army has any objections, please contact our Songhu Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

But if there is any attack, we will treat it as an opponent on the battlefield and will no longer abide by the previous agreement between the Empire and your non-aggression. Guns and cannons are not eye-free, and the lives of your civilians cannot be guaranteed."

"Hi!" Makino Toshika took the order attentively. He raised his head and was puzzled: "Governor Captain, do we only use heavy machine guns? Do we not use infantry cannons?"

"No, no, it is easy to blow up the small bridge that is not very strong with infantry cannons!" A cruel light flashed in Fukuchijiro's eyes. "If they don't leave a way out for them, how can they pass through that bridge one after another?"

Makino Toshi took a deep breath. At this moment, he had completely understood his boss's plan.

It's so silly and poisonous!

The dark thing is not to let go of the opponent's main force and only attack the so-called half-cross of the remaining part of the troops, but to leave the small bridge.

For the Chinese, the main force has retreated and its spirit has been lost. Only with a small amount of troops left, it is impossible for them to retract back to the warehouse. The only way to live is the bridge. If you rush over, you can live. If you don’t rush, you can only die.

That is the most normal survival of human nature.

However, it seems to be the only way to live, but it is a complete dead end and a dead end.

This time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade worked hard to hide all its remaining eight heavy machine guns in the trenches. The bridge deck, which is only more than 30 meters long, will be covered by a steel torrent of more than 50 bullets per second.

If you want to pass this bridge, a fully armed soldier will have to run at least 8 seconds, so he will have to go through the baptism of hundreds of bullets.

There is no cover for the bridge deck, and no one can escape with such bullet density.

This time, the Chinese have transported at least half of the mortars and even machine guns, and the threat of heavy machine gun positions is minimized and they can fire without any scruples.

The poisonous thing is that Fukuchijiro wanted to brutally shoot all the Chinese soldiers located at the last side on the bridge deck in front of ordinary Chinese people who were about to be awakened and comrades waiting for their return.

Those who dare not cross the bridge cannot escape the fate of destruction. They don’t even have to wait until dawn. The two infantry squadrons that are already on high alert will enter the building with flashlights, find them out, kill them, and throw their bodies into the Suzhou River.

Let the Chinese civilians who have cheered for their soldiers drink water soaked in the blood of their soldiers.

As for the Western coalition forces in the concession, after dealing with these days, whether it is the Japanese colonel or the Japanese central assistant, they have already understood their harshness and weakness on the inside.

As long as they are afraid of death, there is nothing to be compromised. What's more, what they have given up is the weak Chinese, which has not touched their vital interests.

The Japanese Nakasaku even believed that when the garrison headquarters in the concession received a message from the division headquarters, the first action it took was not to protest to its own side, but to speed up the progress of disarming the Chinese army that had already crossed the river.

Because, they were worried that they would anger the powerful Japanese army and launch a counterattack on them.

"Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, you two will be the first to cross the river later! The genin and I are waiting for you there." Before leaving, the Army Lieutenant Colonel was worried about the two generals under his command, so he specifically explained.

Although the two infantry companies had arrived safely, the Japanese were a little too quiet, which made the Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had rich combat experience, feel heavy in his heart.

"Yes!" Tang Dao and Lei Xiong stood attentively and saluted.

"Qin Ruoyu, what are you waiting for! Take your brothers to escort the two commanders across the bridge." Tang Dao roared softly.

"Li Jiujin, take your three rows and put machine guns along the bridge deck until the commander arrives safely. Those who cross the bridge don't have to come back and wait there."

The army lieutenant colonel and major general who were surrounded by soldiers blocked their sight did not find the two lieutenants hiding in the dark with their eyes flashing.

Li Jiujin took three rows and six light machine guns, and took the lead in entering the bridge deck. The entire army was in a combat posture and pointed the muzzle at both wings.

Then there were the Army Lieutenant Colonel, Major General Chief of Staff, and three Central Commission agents who suffered unrestrained disasters and were beaten into pig's heads. They were surrounded by Qin Ruoyu's second platoon, the battalion guard squad, and four guards close to the major general chief of staff.

Dozens of people were divided into three rows, hugged and ran quickly across the Suzhou River Bridge, which was more than 30 meters long, and successfully entered the fortifications in the concession.

The Chinese soldiers on both sides of the bridge breathed a sigh of relief.

Colonel James, the representative of the concession military, was also the highest Chinese commander. It seemed that the matter had settled, and more than 100 Chinese soldiers would cross the river.
Chapter completed!
