Just after a Japanese squadron was wiped out,

The 2nd Battalion of the Royal North Lancastershire Infantry, the 1st Royal Worcester Rifles Battalion, and the 1st Denham Light Infantry Battalion have also arrived at the border of the concession.

At the same time, the Fourth Marine Regiment and the Sixth Marine Regiment each detached a battalion of troops to help prepare for the outbreak of war.

"How is the situation now?"

"Is it a battle between the Chinese army and the Japanese army?"

"Where are they fighting?"

When Major George McKay, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Marine Regiment, arrived at the border, he immediately asked the British officer Captain Joseph.

"I'm not sure yet, because the sound of gunfire is a bit far away. It feels like it came from the Zhabei area, but it shouldn't be too far from our concession, otherwise it would be impossible to hear it so clearly!"

Captain Joseph, a British officer, immediately replied.

"Have you sent airships and reconnaissance planes over for reconnaissance?"

Major George MacKay continued to ask.

"not yet!"

"Because I'm waiting for all of you to come before I decide!"

"I have not yet made the decision to use reconnaissance planes and airships!"

Captain Joseph, a British officer, looked at Major George MacKay and said awkwardly.

Although the official positions between him and the opponent are almost the same, if his qualifications were not relatively junior, he would be a major now, but the reality is that if the opponent's attack level is higher, he can beat you by one level.

You must obey his orders.

"Then ask your commander to come over and discuss with us the use of our respective airships and reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance immediately!"

"We need to understand what is happening on the other side so we can know what to do next!"

"Otherwise, if we don't even know what's happening on the other side, what else can we do?"

"Do it blindly?"

"Then it's all wasted effort!"

Major George McKay said decisively.

"Yes! Major!"

Captain Joseph, a British officer, also readily agreed.

Then he called Major Colin Firth, commander of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers Battalion, to which he belonged, to come over to see Major George MacKay.

"I want to use airships and reconnaissance planes to detect the situation on the other side. What do you think?"

"Major Colin!"

Major George MacKay and Major Colin Firth, commander of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers Battalion, shook hands with each other and after a few polite words, they spoke straightforwardly.

"Okay! That's what I mean!"

"I will immediately ask someone to notify our naval forces to send reconnaissance planes for reconnaissance!"

"As for the airship, we are already ready!"

"You can go out for reconnaissance at any time!"

"Would you like to come with us on the airship to see what's going on?"

Major Colin Firth said with a bright smile.

"You're welcome, I still need the ground troops to stay, and I'm also curious about what happened on the other side?"

"If the Chinese army and the Japanese army are fighting, then we can watch the show again!"

"Recently, because the Chinese army was defeated by the Japanese army and was in the process of being routed and evacuated, I have rarely watched the battles between them and the Japanese army. I feel that a lot of fun has been lost!"

Major George MacKay shook his head slightly and refused with a smile.

"I also lost a lot of fun. Although the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army are very backward, and even the tactics are very backward, watching them fight the Japanese army can still let us know what the strength of the current Japanese army is!

"

"We're pretty bored here anyway, so it would be nice to have the added pleasure of watching a show!"

Major Colin Firth also had an indifferent expression, shrugged his shoulders and responded with a smile.

Major George MacKay smiled and did not answer.

Then he asked all his troops to disperse on the spot for vigilance and rest.

As for the 6th Marine Regiment, which had been silent and silent, they also had an expression of waiting to see what happened on the other side.

As for other foreign troops, they are also arriving one after another at this moment.

Then their officers with the same rank immediately walked over to inquire about the situation and chat with senior officers such as Major George MacKay and Major Colin Firth.

...

At this time? Cheng Ning'er, Xu Zishan and others also came to the border of the concession to wait and see.

"Hey! It seems like nothing happened!"

"Let's go! There are a lot of people here! I'm worried that there will be bad people like thieves!"

Seeing more and more onlookers? Cheng Ning'er asked Xu Zishan worriedly.

"But we have only been here not long ago, and we still don't know what is going on here?"

"Just leave like this?"

"Perhaps there are still Chinese troops who have not left? Are they fighting those Japanese troops?"

"If this is really the case, then we should cheer them up and support them!"

But Xu Zishan is unwilling to leave like this? She objected.

"Ah! This..."

Cheng Ning'er felt embarrassed for a moment.

Because she also supports the anti-Japanese war? So for a while she didn’t know whether to leave or not.

"But I heard that the national troops seemed to have been defeated by the Japanese troops. Aren't they running away?"

"Some of my friends saw with their own eyes that their defeated army was evacuating!"

At this time, a young man named Yu Siman next to Cheng Ning'er retorted.

"..."

When they were told this, Xu Zishan and Cheng Ning'er were immediately speechless.

Because the two of them also heard a lot about the national army on the front line being in a great rout? And many of the defeated troops were evacuating towards the capital.

So now in Songhu, basically only the concession is the safest?

The rest of the Songhu area is dominated by Japanese troops, so they don't know how to respond to this real problem.

"Why!"

Finally, Xu Zishan sighed with deep sadness.

Because she had great expectations for the National Army's Battle of Songhu,

And he also personally donated money and materials? He even helped organizations that supported the Chinese army to fight against Japan, and called on more patriotic people to donate money and materials? Send them to the front lines to give to those Chinese soldiers who fought against Japan and saved the country.

Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

So when she heard more and more bad news about the Nationalist troops being defeated by the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu and in the process of being routed and evacuated, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing your friend so depressed? And sad.

Cheng Ning'er also gently held the other person's arm to show comfort.

"Look!"

"It's the Japanese troops! How did they appear across the Suzhou River?"

"They seem to be charging towards the Sihang Warehouse!"

At this moment? People screamed in surprise one after another.

And many people followed the direction mentioned by these exclamations, raised their heads and stared at the past.
