As soldiers, how could they not understand the sorrow of this Chinese Army Lieutenant Colonel!

In the territory of one's own country, even the battle will be restricted. If it were anyone, he would feel humiliated!

But everyone has someone to protect.

Sacrifice has nothing to do with yourself, protecting yourself and what you want to protect is the most normal human nature.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xie, from the perspective of a soldier, I understand your feelings and regret the end of this war.

But as the commander of the coalition forces in the concession, I must ensure the safety of everyone in the concession, whether he is European, American or even Chinese." The brigade general's face showed enough firmness.

"I still hope you can persuade them to cross the river, not to mention that they are less than one infantry company now. Even if you and your subordinates re-enter, the Japanese could transfer two heavy artillery pieces, and more could be transferred. No matter how strong the Sihang Warehouse is, it will turn into powder.

Even the Chinese in the concession would be implicated." The brigadier general tried to continue his efforts and pointed at the Chinese people standing at the intersection of the street a hundred meters away because of the explosion of the bombed bridge.

"You should also think about these people. If the concession falls into war, your fellow tribes will no longer have a place to stand."

"General, what you said makes sense. Unfortunately, you don't understand us. That's because your country has not been invaded." Lieutenant Colonel of the Army shook his head.

"No one does not cherish life, but when a robber comes, your parents will be killed, your sisters and wives will be enslaved, and your son will have no tomorrow, so we would rather die, die in resistance."

"What you see is only these hundreds of Chinese soldiers and tens of thousands of Chinese people, but there are still tens of millions of Chinese people after Songhu. Every inch of mountains and rivers is bloody. Songhu has been stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of outstanding men in China. So what if I add a little more?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel said this, his previous Qi Rong was no longer seen on his face.

There was light in his eyes.

He was proud of his subordinates and his brothers.

It is not scary to die in battle. What is scary is whether their deaths are valuable.

If Tang Dao and Lei Xiong were not determined enough, abide by military orders and set foot on the Suzhou River Bridge, and die worthlessly in the trap set by the Japanese army, that would be his greatest sorrow as a general of the army and the tragedy of the entire nation.

After leaving this sentence at the high end, Lieutenant Colonel of the Army raised his chest and turned around and left.

Standing back in front of nearly 300 soldiers standing neatly.

Around them were a total of soldiers from the concession in the infantry battalion.

When Yang Ruifu roared and asked the soldiers to regain their weapons and return to the warehouse, the soldiers in the concession were collectively facing a great enemy. They were afraid that these powerful Chinese soldiers would go crazy, even if they had at least four heavy machine guns quietly aimed at them, even if most of these Chinese people had only light weapons such as rifles and shell guns.

But no one dared to underestimate them. It was this group of people who had crippled thousands of Japanese people in just three days under their noses.

Now, their commander is back.

"He is an excellent commander and a real soldier." The brigadier general looked at the back of the army lieutenant colonel who had chosen to stand with his soldiers at his gun and was silent for a long time. "I think we should give them the treatment of a real soldier."

"But, general, Japanese..." Anxiety flashed in Colonel James's eyes.

Two minutes ago, the headquarters' communications troops handed him the telegram sent by the Japanese Songhu Expeditionary Army headquarters, with extremely shameless words.

But, such a shameless Japanese are even more worrying.

This seems to have confirmed the ancient fable: it is better to fight with a lion than to trade with a jackal.

"What's wrong with the Japanese? They can see the agreement at once and for all, then should we hold those waste papers? The gentlemen of the Empire of the Sun will only take off their hats and pay tribute to the same people, and will not surrender to the jackals, tigers and leopards.

If the Japanese want war, then tell them, come on! I, Smallet, are not afraid of war. The thousands of soldiers here are not afraid of war. The Western people who love freedom and democracy are also not afraid of war!" The brigadier general interrupted his adjutant and raised his stubborn goatee.

"Go and tell us the dear consuls, the concession garrisons, from now on, the first level of combat readiness. If the concession is invaded, our army will fight back to defend our homeland. If they feel that I am wrong because of their timidity, they can impeach me to the idiots in the parliament."

The colonel and several Western school officials around him looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine his commander took today. He didn't say that he wanted to fight the Japanese to the death, but even the consul and the nobles of the parliament were scolded.

It's still the kind of cursing in public.

Perhaps, only real soldiers can understand.

True soldiers never surrender to power. They are only loyal to their duties and guard their homes, even if they die.

The nearly 300 soldiers standing not far away were the more than 100 soldiers who blew up their only retreat on the other side, and they were also the same.

That night, the Army Lieutenant Colonel and his remaining troops entered a battalion-level barracks vacated overnight. Heavy equipment such as two mortars and four heavy machine guns were symbolically kept, but light firepower equipment such as rifles, mullers, and light machine guns were allowed to be carried.

This is also the lowest bottom line that the major general and the army lieutenant colonel accepted. Otherwise, the two people who were furious would most likely be in anger and jumped off the Suzhou River and swam back to the warehouse with their subordinates.

As for whether the soldiers in the Western Concession dare to shoot at them, they can tell the result with their butts.

The warehouse dozens of meters away opposite are no longer a group of "crazy men" who are subject to the Chinese government. When they are not crazy, they can beat the Japanese into shit. What if they see their comrades being attacked?

In the past time and space, after these soldiers confronted the concession garrisons for several hours, military orders from the highest level came again, and they had to hand over all their equipment, and the entire army was trapped in an abandoned military camp.

At least one infantry platoon was fully armed and in more than three years, there were very few people who could leave the barracks, just like heavy prisoners.

But this time, they were tough enough to destroy the thousand-Japanese troops in one battle.

A record is the confidence of a soldier.

Dignity has always been based on fists.

Of course, in addition to being tough enough, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, the remaining number of lonely troops who did not cross the river, are also the best amulets.

As long as they are not dead, the concession will not dare to treat the No. 300 people who have crossed the river with too harsh treatment.

Two days ago, Chinese soldiers had already used the actual combat of blasting a bank building to tell everyone that they were also able to turn the Sihang Warehouse into a large bomb.

Do you think that the brigadier general of the Sun-Down Empire, who has experienced a lot of experience, refused the Japanese just because these Chinese soldiers were real soldiers and he couldn't appreciate them well, so he took the huge risk of going to war with the Japanese?

You're really thinking too much.

He appreciates real soldiers, but it does not mean that he can make fun of the lives of nearly one million concessions.

He used his own attitude to tell the Chinese soldiers on the other side who would never retreat. The Japanese are idiots who don’t abide by the agreement. You can fight, but we Westerners are credible, so don’t be impulsive!

At the window, watching his colleagues saluting the warehouse with guns, and then lined up to walk away.
