Chapter 1177 Flying flags and orders to retreat

The third day came.

In addition to the defensive personnel, observers, and casualties in the entire Sixing Warehouse, there are actually 340 five people!
And their enemies are countless times their number.

On the roof of the Sixing Warehouse.

Head Xie pointed to the airship floating in the sky and said: "Brothers of the 88th Division, there are observers from Western countries inside, and behind me are our own compatriots. We are not just here to resist Xiaotian, we are here Show them, the people of Hua are still there, the soldiers of Hua are still here! The soldiers of Hua are still standing here! We soldiers have not retreated a step. With us, Shanghai will not fall, Northeast fall, North China fall But now, because of you, Shang Hai is still here!"

"Yes!"

The sound spread to the other side of the river, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Sixing Warehouse.

They saw the flag fluttering, the flag of the army belonging to Hua Guo, which was slowly rising up.

This is the only flag belonging to the Hua Kingdom that has been raised in the entire Shanghai.

"For our dead colleagues, fire the gun!"

Gunshots sounded!

There are old people, women, and children, all looking at the flags flying on the roof of the four-row warehouse.

"China will not perish!"

"China will never perish!"

"Long live the Chinese nation!"

This flag made everyone's blood boil.

The people on the other side of the river also cheered.

It was just that the raising of the military flag really made the Japanese army furious, and desperately began to storm the Sixing Warehouse.

Yangguai and other newly incorporated soldiers into the 88th Division were sent to guard the flag.

The Japanese army was completely crazy, and even disregarded the tacit agreement with the concession, and sent fighter jets.

For a while, the casualties of the soldiers in the Sixing Warehouse increased greatly. Facing the fierce firepower of the Japanese army, the Sixing Warehouse was slaughtered almost one-sidedly.

The military flag gradually fell, and a bloody hand supported the flagpole, so that the military flag did not fall completely.

Because the planes of the Japanese army injured and killed many civilians in the concession, the Western countries in the concession were extremely dissatisfied.

Shout out warnings and let them evacuate immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as an act of war.

The military flag was wobbly, and it was erected again.

But those soldiers are forever buried under the flag.

Everyone watched this scene with tears streaming from their eyes.

The remaining flag guards supported the military flag with their bodies to prevent the military flag from falling.

However, another Japanese plane went back and forth, and the bullets soared into the sky. No matter how the flesh and blood resisted it, the remnants fell one by one.

The military flag was crumbling, and finally, as the last soldier guarding the flag was hit and could no longer hold it up, the military flag slowly fell to the ground.

Commander Xie ordered everyone not to act without authorization and make unnecessary sacrifices.

Yangguai rushed out and erected the fallen military flag again, and Duan Wu, who was afraid of death, also rushed out.

Japanese fighter jets flew again, but because of protests from Western countries, the Japanese had to temporarily evacuate the planes.

Seeing the plane evacuate, Duan Wu shouted excitedly: "Run away, run away!"

It's just that Qi Jiaming's smile suddenly froze when he looked at him. Duan Wu looked down, but at some point, he was shot in the waist.

Only now did he realize that he collapsed to the ground.

After being carried back, his stomach was almost smashed to pieces. Little Hu Bei ran over crying and shouting, but was held back by the sheep crutches.

Qi Jiaming held Duan Wu's hand, but at this time, Duan Wu was on the verge of death, he was trembling, blood gushed out continuously, he even regarded Qi Jiaming as Xiao Hu Bei: "Little Hu Bei, don't be afraid, there is no need to worry about it." And me!"

"Didn't we agree that when we arrive in Shanghai, we will take a boat to England, bring my uncle and my mother, I miss my mother!"

"Little Hubei, didn't we agree that when we arrive in Shanghai, we want to take a photo together!"

Qi Jiaming came to his senses immediately, he called Qi Jiaming, a reporter who was paralyzed there: "Come here!"

"Take a picture, take a picture! Take a picture together!"

He just kept repeating.

In Fang Xingwen's camera, Duan Wu's life stays at this moment forever.

At night, the stage on the other side of the river sang operas.

"That was sung for us. Guojun walked all the way to Maicheng before, and today it is a face for them!"

Zhu Shengzhong looked into the distance and said: "Husband Xu Guo, it is really a blessing, thank you!"

Behind him, Qi Jiaming took out Zhao Zilong's shadow puppet and sang the shadow play "Changbanpo" for the soldiers to boost morale."

The surviving student was looking at a letter and wiping away tears. Lao Tie asked curiously, "What is the child looking at?"

"Letter, a letter from an officer to his wife!"

"Love letter? Niannian!"

The student read: "My wife loves Yuzhi. I am going to Luodian with the team today. I was ordered to reinforce it. It is my duty. But my relatives are poor, with few wives and young children, so it is inevitable to worry. If the family can be frugal, it should be food and clothing. If you are weak, you should add clothes and strengthen your food according to the time. When you grow up, you still think it is appropriate to be a soldier, avenge your father, and be loyal to the country. One day, our flag will fly on the top of Mount Fuji, so that my children and grandchildren will no longer be affected by it. This humiliation."

Smell all silent tears.

The fourth day of the four-line warehouse defense battle is coming.

When the red cross and white flag were laid on the garbage bridge, when the soldiers in the Sixing Warehouse were seen walking out of the Sixing Warehouse.

The citizens on the other side of the river all came out, and they were surprised why Hua Guo's army came out at this time.

Rewind the time to fourteen hours ago!
Head Xie said to the commissioner: "Look at the other side, those people are all looking at us, their enthusiasm for resisting Japan is getting stronger and stronger!"

But the special commissioner said: "It will disappear soon!"

"The enthusiasm of these people cannot change the situation of the battle!"

"I don't believe it! History will remember this place! Remember these people!"

"Let's leave it to future generations to comment. Let me tell you frankly that the reason why you have been appointed to this position is to show the Western countries. If you persist, you will no longer be soldiers. Are you an actor? Don't make this feat an even bigger laughingstock!"

Head Xie looked at the commissioner with disbelief on his face: "Is this how you define this battle?"

The commissioner looked at him: "War is all about politics! The concession has already agreed to your withdrawal. Withdraw! This battle will be meaningless if it continues. The little hope you bring will eventually change." If you go out, you will lose your honor, but at least you can let these people survive, they all have flesh and blood, parents and brothers!"

But Head Xie has long had the determination to commit himself to the country: "The Chinese people only want to serve their ancestors as a soldier. When the country is broken and the family is broken, 30 brothers fell outside. Now you tell me that they have flesh and blood? Have parents? brother?"

"The national government thought that there would be room for negotiation due to this obstruction, but the fact is not that our strengths are too far apart. If the war continues and spreads across the country, the most ordinary people will suffer. More bombing, death, wives torn apart"

In the end he said: "The central army is almost wiped out. Leave some seeds for the ace army. Before retreating, there should be no new battles. Let the miscellaneous troops be left behind."

In fact, due to the inability to use heavy artillery and aircraft, and the special location of the Sixing Warehouse, the Japanese army could not quickly capture the Sixing Warehouse. Japanese diplomats and military leaders made explicit statements one after another, threatening and intimidating the concession authorities to immediately Take measures to eliminate the resistance of the "Eight Hundred Heroes" in the Sixing Warehouse.The military attache of the Japanese navy stationed in China and the officer of the fleet made speeches one after another, threatening that the Japanese army would disregard all consequences and take extreme measures to deal with the Chinese defenders.

That means dropping heavy bombs from aircraft and bombarding them with long-range heavy artillery.If the bombs and shells deviate from the direction and hit the gas tanks on the south bank of the Suzhou River, it will cause very serious consequences.Under the pressure of all parties, Guo Jun sent a special commissioner to let Commander Xie withdraw into the concession.
