Chapter 6 Seize the Bridgehead

Compared with the three days before the battle, the Japanese army tried every means to capture the Sihang Warehouse as soon as possible. The war has gone on today, and the Japanese seem to know that the night war is not cheaper, so they adopt harassing combat strategies to weaken the combat effectiveness of the defenders.

The commando attacked just two hours after the end of the Japanese harassment war. During this period, the Japanese who had been attacking for several days seemed to be unable to hold on and had to choose to go back to the camp to rest.

If you have a bad rest, how can you fight the offensive battle the next day?

The Sihang Warehouse, which is not too large in size, dare not throw air bombs and Japanese devils who use heavy artillery, cannot assemble too many offensive troops. After a few days of fierce fighting, Japanese devils finally decided to harass and siege.

In any case, the Japanese's strategic attempt to invade Shanghai has been completed. Although it has been delayed for a long time, if the Japanese want to control the territory they just occupied, they also need to send a large number of troops to garrison.

The tenacious resistance of the Sihang Warehouse defenders certainly angered the Japanese commander. But the Japanese still knew that this was just a lonely army that the National Revolutionary Army left it on the battlefield of Songhu in order to preserve its face.

This also means that from the day this lonely army entered the Sihang Warehouse, it may not have thought of withdrawing from the battle. It will undoubtedly cost a heavy price to attack such an lonely army with a desperate intention and occupying favorable terrain.

After suffering losses and starting to learn from the Japanese, the Japanese finally decided to slowly consume the defense until the defenders were exhausted from ammunition and food, and then they found ways to persuade the lonely army to surrender. In that case, it might further damage the morale of the National Revolutionary Army.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this change in attitude that the Japanese did not realize that the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment would choose to break through at night. In fact, the Japanese also considered this possibility and guarded the only channel.

If it weren't for the protests between the armies of various countries in the opposite concession, the Japanese even thought about blowing up the bridge to the concession. On the other hand, the generals of the National Revolutionary Army who retreated across the board seemed a little unexpected about the performance of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment.

As the fierce battle came to a few days and nights, the lonely army guarding the Sihang Warehouse fought with the Japanese. The blue sky and white sun flag floating on the roof of the warehouse also became the belief of many soldiers and civilians in Shanghai.

In order to win more people's hearts, Chiang Kai-shek finally ordered the rescue of the troops. In Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, the troops have completed their mission well. If this troops can be preserved, it can also inspire the morale of the people and the troops.

Hu Biao, who was lurking outside the checkpoint, and Xu Sandao decided to take the seduction method. Hu Biao was the seduction method, and the rest were ready to attack. The seduction method was actually very simple.

Although it was already late at night, the Japanese searchlights not far away shone onto the checkpoint from time to time. The afterglow of the searchlights that swayed from time to time also provided lighting for the commando, the same is true for the Japanese on duty.

After pinching a stone that was not big or small, Hu Biao looked at Xu Sandao and others who were lurking beside him and said, "Prepare!"

As Xu Sandao and others held the dagger in their hands tightly, and with the help of the searchlight, Hu Biao locked the target not far away again. When the searchlight left, Hu Biao threw out the stone in his hand.

The sound of 'ding bells' sound instantly attracted the attention of the Japanese at the checkpoint. Several Japanese who were close to each other said alertly: "Who is there? There is movement in front of you, hurry up and take a look!"

The sound of things is the iron cans thrown away by the Japanese after eating. Throwing these cans on the periphery of the checkpoint can also serve as an alarm. Once someone touches them at night, it will make a sound if you accidentally touch them.

The seduction method Hu Biao adopted was to use stones to blindly shoot the canned box to attract the attention of the Japanese in the checkpoint. Sure enough, when he heard the sound of the canned box, the Japanese in the checkpoint were quickly attracted.

Xu Sandao, who had been lurking in the dark, saw that the Japanese did not shoot, was happy and calm and said: "One person is staring at one, pay attention to my command, three, two, one, shoot!"

It is almost impossible to touch the whistle close. Faced with this situation, the solution that Xu Sandao thought of was to narrow the distance with the Japanese devils. Then he threw a dagger, hoping to wipe the Japanese devils on the whistle with one blow.

Accompanied by more than a dozen sharp daggers, it was thrown out at the command of Xu Sandao. Hu Biao, who was still holding a dagger in his hand, rushed out quickly. In Hu Biao's opinion, there was no hesitation at this time.

The searchlight just passed, and we had to decisively take close-up battle before the Japanese vision had recovered. Facing Hu Biao who suddenly rushed out, Xu Sandao, who was lying behind the ruins, was somewhat shocked.

Just after thinking about it, Xu Sandao immediately realized that Hu Biao's approach was the wisest. The dagger that had been thrown out before was difficult to wipe out the Japanese devils at the checkpoint in one fell swoop. This means that someone needs to close the knife.

As Xu Sandao guessed, Hu Biao, who rushed out of the ruins at the first time, quickly rushed into the Japanese team. The Japanese who survived this round of dagger throwing soon thought of firing a gun to warn.

Hu Biao, who had always stared at the Japanese devils, decisively shot out the remaining dagger. Facing the dagger passing by, a Japanese devil who was about to raise a gun to shoot immediately covered his penetrated throat and fell down with unwillingness.

During this process, Hu Biao quickly pulled out two bloody daggers from a fallen Japanese devil with both hands, and shot two flying knives into other surviving Japanese devils.

When the Japanese screamed, Hu Biao, who was half-squatting and launching an assault, pulled out a bloody dagger from a Japanese and rushed forward to wipe his throat. Until all the Japanese guards guarding the checkpoint were killed by Hu Biao on the spot.

During the raid, although the Japanese screamed, the screams were very short. When Xu Sandao and others rushed out, the battle had all ended. The whole process seemed to be completed in the blink of an eye.

Even Xu Sandao, who rushed over, said admirably: "Brother Biaozi, you have great skills!"

"You're welcome! The searchlight will come soon. Each brother leans on the body of a Japanese devil. He tricked the Japanese devil's searchlight first. When the searchlight comes, be careful and don't show off his strength!"

Although this small commando was led by Xu Sandao, time was so tight that Hu Biao didn't care about too much. He pulled up a dead Japanese corpse, quickly supported it, and fixed it with his body.

From a distance, under the illumination of the searchlight, you can still see that this is a Japanese soldier on duty. If the distance is too close, this disguise will be exposed soon. But for Hu Biao, he needs this opportunity to deceive the searchlight.

Looking at the searchlight that was slowly shooting from a distance again, Xu Sandao said without saying a word: "Listen to brothers Biaozi, hurry up!"

Hu Biao's decisive attack and sharp skills have already convinced Xu Sandao, who is arrogant. Although Hu Biao is a little overstepping power, for Xu Sandao, he knows that he can't be angry at this time, otherwise everyone will be in danger.

The other commandos didn't say much. According to what Hu Biao said, one of them leaned against a body and helped him up again. If there was any inadequate position, Hu Biao would also remind him in time to ensure that he had deceived the searchlight that was shot.

Fortunately, although Hu Biao's disguise has many flaws, the Japanese who were in charge of the searchlights were a little far from the checkpoint, so they were not very clear. In addition, due to the influence of the sky, it was normal to lose their vision.

Seeing that there were still ten sentry figures on the other side of the checkpoint, the Japanese devils next to the searchlight did not notice anything was wrong. When the searchlight was removed, Hu Biao threw the body and said, "Notify the second lieutenant and come over quickly, there is not much time left!"

After saying this, Hu Biao took advantage of the opportunity to remove the searchlight and rushed towards the bridgehead. Seeing this, the others realized that this was the best time to seize the bridgehead position.

Only by controlling this bridgehead to the concession and subsequent large troops break through and retreat will it be safer. What Hu Biao and others have to do next is to turn off the searchlights and suppress the machine gun firepower of the Japanese opposite.

In fact, when Hu Biao and others successfully killed the Japanese in the checkpoint, the commando lieutenant and others who were hiding behind also responded quickly. At the same time, the lieutenant also sent someone back to the warehouse to report the news.

It is necessary to take advantage of the time when the Japanese were caught off guard, build a blocking line with the bridgehead as the center to support the subsequent large troops to retreat to the concession opposite the bridge. This opportunity is fleeting, and every minute and every second are extremely important.

Shortly after sending the commando, Xie Jinyuan summoned all the defenders and issued an order to break through and retreat. Many officers and soldiers were surprised by such orders, and they also felt relieved in their hearts.
