Chapter 84: Visitors From the Concession (Recommendation Tickets! Monthly Tickets! Book Reviews! Chapter Reviews! All Required)

The Japanese army's carefully planned night raid was burned into human fireworks by the fire of Tang Dao.

There was laughter and joy in the warehouse, but it was not so wonderful for the Japanese army.

After the three large searchlights were extinguished by Tang Dao's three shots, Jiro Wakiban waved his hand with a gloomy face to stop several subordinates from asking to retaliate by shelling the warehouse. He planned to stop fighting that night.

Jiro Wakiban, who was a little depressed after being beaten, ordered all infantrymen to retreat to the temporary station in the trench 500 meters away from the Sihang Warehouse to rest. In view of the existence of the opponent's sharpshooter, there was no need to shine the searchlight in the direction of the Sihang Warehouse, but to scan back and forth at the front of his position a hundred meters away.

Barbed wire was set up dozens of meters away from the trench, and some gaps were lit with large bonfires.

The military literacy of the Japanese colonel was not bad. These arrangements were obviously to guard against the opponents in the building. If he could sneak attack the opponent, the opponent could naturally sneak attack him, right?

However, the seemingly rigorous military order revealed a hint of weirdness.

Tang Dao finally understood why the concession and the Sihang Warehouse, which was tightly sealed by the Japanese army, were actually connected in the past.

Because, so far, the Japanese army has not used machine guns and searchlights to block the entire Suzhou River.

The other three sides were surrounded by the Japanese army like an iron barrel, but the side facing the Suzhou River was like a thoroughfare. At least at this night, if the defenders in the building wanted to withdraw, they could swim across the Suzhou River, which was only tens of meters wide, to reach the concession.

The only prerequisite is to negotiate with the concession first.

Judging from the day's battle, the Westerners who had been frightened by the battlefield where both sides fought sparks should not refuse this proposal. Only by getting rid of the "plague gods" who were fighting the Japanese to death, they would be completely safe, right? In less than two days, if the Chinese did not mention it themselves, they would have to take the initiative to propose it.

I think that Jiro Wakiban, who was almost crying, might have said: Okay, you have beaten me like this, what else do you want? If you have the advantage, leave quickly!

Of course, there is also the intention of surrounding three sides and killing one side, deliberately leaving you a way to live, and when you really want to leave, you will find that this is a road to hell.

In the past, the Japanese army did this. After the tripartite agreement, the casualties when retreating to the concession through the Suzhou River Bridge were even greater than those in the warehouse.

But at least on this day, the Japanese colonel was destined to be disappointed. No matter what his considerations were, the Chinese defenders would not leave and were destined to fight him to the death.

Thanks to some unknown little thoughts of the Japanese colonel, at two o'clock in the morning, someone came to the concession.

After all, the famous girl scout swam across the Suzhou River with the national flag, came to the north of the Sihang Warehouse, and was successfully taken into the warehouse by the defenders through the rope, but this time she was not alone, but ten people.

Eight of them were strong young men, including students and workers, who carried a total of 300 flatbreads, more than 100 kilograms of bacon, 100 packs of hemostatic drugs and other tightly wrapped supplies.

There were more than ten types of tightly wrapped supplies, all of which were requested by the lieutenant colonel of the army. However, the quantity was not large, and the total weight was only 50 kilograms, which could be carried by two people.

The flatbreads were donated by refugees at the collection point in the concession. Although they were not valuable, they were of great significance. The lieutenant colonel of the army and Major Yang Ruifu, who personally greeted them, took these heavy flatbreads and all burst into tears.

The respect from the people is definitely more effective than chicken blood for these iron-blooded troops. Tang Dao, who is already a senior staff member in the warehouse, naturally knows this.

However, Lieutenant Tang also didn't know that this time was different from the past. There was actually a reporter.

Female reporter!

The female reporter, wearing a black tight suit, was wet all over, her face was frozen to a pale blue, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on entering the interview state immediately.

Moreover, the interviewees included Tang Dao, the warrior who fought three Japanese invaders hand-to-hand in the spotlight.

Yes, these were the original words of the stubborn female reporter.

In fact, several captains present wanted to correct her, saying that it would be more accurate to say "macho man".

Of course, when the beautiful reporter who was frozen and charming named Tang Dao to interview her, the guys looked at Tang Dao with envy.

Reporter is not the important keyword, "female" is, and she looks good, even though she is frozen like a quail now.

Obviously, the low-key lieutenant colonel of the army just didn't want to be in the limelight. Hearing that she was going to interview a macho man, he just wanted it. After a little thought, he asked the signalman to take the beautiful reporter to change into dry clothes first, and then ordered the macho man who was named to be interviewed to be responsible for the whole reception later, and the time limit was one hour.

Otherwise, once the Japanese army reacted and ordered the machine guns to block the Suzhou River, these people would not be able to leave.

The eight young men originally planned to stay in the warehouse to help after delivering the goods, but the lieutenant colonel praised their spirit and decisively refused.

Not to mention them, even Tang Dao, a veteran army with a proven identity, would be carefully inspected by the lieutenant colonel for a long time. Would he easily accept external forces?

Moreover, as a mature adult, the lieutenant colonel knew better that willpower was not something that could be achieved by just expressing determination. It had to go through the test of long-term war. Only by facing death could one know whether he could really face death.

His soldiers not only faced death but also had to face strict military law. These passionate young people were not like that. He didn't have time to wait for them to grow up. Any unsteady person might become a negative factor in the warehouse.

So, they and the Girl Scouts were asked to leave after delivering supplies and receiving military salutes. Although it was a bit ruthless, no one could blame them in the face of military law.

When they left, they did not leave empty-handed, but took with them the bodies of two seriously injured soldiers and three soldiers who had not yet been buried.

The lieutenant colonel could only choose to believe the big man who could communicate with him. Otherwise, the two seriously injured soldiers would not survive for more than a day, so he could only gamble.

Being able to treat two seriously injured soldiers was extremely tempting, and ensuring that the remains of the dead soldiers would be sent back to their hometowns at the right time also made the lieutenant colonel excited.

He was willing to bury himself in this warehouse, but that was just what he wanted.

The most traditional Chinese idea is to return to one's roots. Even if a person is gone, there can be a grave there to accompany his parents and take care of his wife and children.

As a commander, the soldiers on the battlefield must obey his orders, but since the soldiers died in the battle, it would be best if they could follow their ideas.

Because they were basically soldiers from the same company, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, Leng Feng, Datou, Lao Hei, Lao Bing Youzi and other six people went into the water and accompanied them to send the bodies of two seriously injured soldiers and three brothers who died in the battle to the other side of the river.

The mysterious boss had extraordinary power. Not only had the barbed wire along the river been cut open, but the Western sentinels in the coastal fortifications looked at the other side of the river like sculptures, and ignored the dozen people in the river.

During the whole process, Lao Hei kept his face against his cousin's extremely cold face and was extremely attached to it. When he was sent to the shore, he left resolutely and never looked back.

Brother! From now on, we will never meet again. Your remains will return to your hometown to accompany your relatives, and your brother will go to the national war again and will be buried on the bank of this surging river.

That's all!

This should be the voice of the old soldier when he buried his head in the cold river water! Tang Dao could feel it.

Tang Dao, wearing only shorts, returned to the warehouse, wiped off the water on his body, and was about to put on the Sichuan Army uniform that had been rolling in the mud for several days, getting wet and dry, dry and wet.

Lei Xiong threw a dark blue uniform over, with an ambiguous look on his face: "I'm going to meet a beautiful reporter soon, so I'll give you a better outfit, so as not to lose our 88th Division."

Tang Dao couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

In this life, Tang Tao was a passionate young man who entered the military camp early and was a bachelor. In his previous life, he was not much better. He entered the green military camp since adolescence, either on the training ground or on the battlefield, and most of the people he came into contact with were men.

Even if there were a few opposite sexes occasionally, in a place like the special brigade, women would become King Kong Barbie, and they were almost the same as men, and everyone was brothers.

No one knew that the invincible platoon leader Tang on the battlefield had no experience in getting along with women.

Especially with such an unbelievably beautiful woman, from her figure to her appearance.
