"You bravely killed eight hundred enemy soldiers, and the heroic spirit of resisting the enemy is expressed in poetry; whoever feels pity for the country sheds thousands of tears, and talks about the injustice of the Japanese slaves!" - Xie Jinyuan.

October 30, 1937, the fourth day of the Sihang Warehouse defense battle.

Here, it is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

The huge national flag on the top floor of the warehouse is still fluttering in the wind.

Because it was too close to the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to use large-caliber artillery to bomb indiscriminately, but they used gasoline, gas bombs, etc. to attack.

But no matter what methods the Japanese army used, Sihang Warehouse remained firm!

On the same day, the first batch of medicinal materials used by Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsu Palace in Japan to redeem his brother-in-law Tokugawa Honda secretly arrived in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan ordered Zhu Yanni to organize the withdrawal of the public concession to take over.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan reorganized the special detachment under his command.

The entire detachment is organized into five squadrons.

Tian Qi, Yuan Zhonghe, Zhu Yanni, Yue Zhenchuan, and Wei Yunzhe are each in charge of a squadron, the so-called combat squadron.

What is very special is that Tian Qi is temporarily unable to perform his duties due to "injury", and the squadron he commands is temporarily in charge of Zhao Changle.

Wu Jingyi was ordered to personally command the lurking team.

Master Meng had just promised her the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Special Detachment", but he could no longer fulfill it.

Fortunately, Assistant Wu has long been accustomed to Master Meng's dishonesty.

After the reorganization was completed, each squadron retreated to the designated location in batches.

More than that.

Meng Shaoyuan still had several weapons in his hands.

The "Taihu Guerrilla Brigade" in Taihu, Taihu spy training class.

He also organized Song Deng, Pan Baolai, Sun Jian, Ma Dai and Xu Zhu into a "Youth Special Action Team", which he directly controlled.

At this time, the Meng Shaoyuan Group was divided into three departments.

One faction is the "old men" headed by Tian Qi and others. The earliest group of people who followed Meng Shaoyuan are called the "Bingzi faction".

One faction is headed by Zhao Changle, Guo Rui and others, and is called the "Youth Faction".

Later, it was represented by Song Deng and others. Since most of them came from the Hangzhou training class, they were called the "Hangzhou Department".

In fact, the people in these three departments are all about the same age.

The reason for such division is entirely based on the length of time following Meng Shaoyuan.

In addition, there is a rather special system:

The power of command by Wu Jingyi.

Because of Wu Jingyi's background, this department is also called the "internal service department."

Lots of factions?

Sometimes, Meng Shaoyuan would also think about this problem.

Meng Shaoyuan had never thought of having such a few subordinates before.

But as power increases, factional issues will inevitably arise.

The entire military system is like this.

Dai Li is here, no matter which faction you belong to, you will always follow Dai Li's lead, no one dares to act rashly.

After Dai Li died, everyone fought for power.

The situation of Meng Shaoyuan Group is similar.

As long as Meng Shaoyuan lives, he will be the leader, and everyone will obey his orders and die without regrets.

just in case……

What if I die one day?

Whatever.

Everyone is dead, who knows what will happen in the future?

…

By the river.

French three-story building.

The butler Alao directed the servants to put the tableware one by one.

No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with Aarau.

He is a steward.

His responsibility is to manage the family well.

Alao is actually very dissatisfied.

One servant is too few.

Today, the distinguished host will entertain guests here. He must organize the banquet perfectly so as not to lose his presence in front of the host.

So after Alao considered it again and again, he recruited a temporary servant.

When necessary, Yamashita Yuri Ai is available at the host's house to help.

Although it is rude to ask guests to help, Arau always feels that Miss Yamashita eats and lives in the host's house, and there seems to be no difference between her and the hostess, right?

Of course, this idea must not be allowed to be known to Miss Zhu Yanni, otherwise, Alao knew that he would be unlucky.

Fortunately, I heard that Miss Zhu Yanni was ordered to perform a mission and won't be here for a long time.

Hey, in Arau's opinion, Miss Yamashita and Miss Zhu are both very good women. Why is the master still not married yet, wandering around all day long?

In Arau's view, if the master does not get married in a day, no matter what earth-shattering deeds he does, it is just a fool's errand.

According to the owner's wishes, the French chef gave him a compensation and sent him home. Aarau hired a Chinese chef again.

The host said, he is Chinese, what kind of French food does he eat all day long?

Arau knew that the owner was worried that hiring a French chef was too expensive.

I checked the time and saw that the guests would arrive one after another in two hours...

…

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson."

Yamashita Yuri Ai closed the book and looked at the eight students in the classroom. She said slowly: "I remember when I first taught Japanese, there were more than forty students here. Some of them only studied for one day and were dismissed.

They were urgently transferred to the front line, and I have never seen them again since then.

Today is the last lesson I give you. The Japanese language learning class will be temporarily closed. I am Japanese, and I am very sorry. My country has brazenly launched a war, which has caused great harm to China and the Chinese people.

Students, please accept my apology as a Japanese."

After speaking, she bowed deeply to the eight students.

"Teacher Yamashita, it's not your fault." A student stood up and said, "The Japanese are different, and the Chinese are different. You don't need to apologize for those Japanese."

"Thank you." Yamashita Yuri Ai raised her head with a smile on her face, but her tone was very solemn: "I don't know how many of you will survive when the war is over. I hope that what I teach you can be used in your final days.

I will help you when you need it, gentlemen, please live a good life, please."

Just as he finished speaking, an agent hurried in: "Assemble, urgent assembly! Target, Sihang Warehouse!"

Something else is coming.

All eight students stood up, and when passing by Yamashita Yuri Ai, they did not forget to bow to their teacher.

Yamashita Yuri smiled, smiled, but then her tears flowed out...

…

"Director Meng, urgent order." Assistant Wu walked into the office: "The General Headquarters believes that the battle to defend the Sihang Warehouse has ended successfully, and Xie Jinyuan's troops should evacuate in an orderly manner. The General Headquarters requires our military commander to immediately report the withdrawal news

Notify Sihang Warehouse and assist Xie Department in safely evacuating."

"knew."

What is supposed to come, will always come.

Xie Jinyuan's troops resisted for four days and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army, which had a great impact on the international community and inspired the people across the country to fight to the end. At this point, there is no need to continue to fight.

Moreover, there are two huge gas storage tanks on the south side of the New Garbage Bridge, which is very close to the warehouse. Once the Japanese army became angry and took crazy measures to retaliate, if the gas tanks were shot, half of Shanghai would be reduced to ashes.

"Order, Sun Jian..."

Before the order was issued, Wu Jingyi had already said: "I'll go to Sihang Warehouse."

"you?"

"Me." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "The ministries are still being reorganized. They are fighting continuously and are very tired. Moreover, I am familiar with the situation in the concession. I will inform you. I told my husband that I will have to work overtime until very late today.
To be continued...
