After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 159 Victory in the first battle

March 10, 27 a.m.

Xie Jinyuan and Jiang Shijia were discussing the next strategic deployment in the top-floor office when the first battalion commander Yang Ruifu came to report on the latest battle situation.

"Reporting to the two regimental commanders, our guard troops at the dry bridge have discovered that the Japanese pirates have indeed occupied the Shanghai North Station building and hoisted the sun flag."

"Then the Japanese aircraft coordinated with their ground forces to conduct reconnaissance and bombing over Zhabei, while our dry bridge guard troops fired at the invading Japanese troops."

"But due to insufficient firepower and lack of backup support, they have now retreated to the vicinity of the Sihang Warehouse and continue to serve as outposts, lying in ambush in the houses along Guangfu Road, preparing to catch the Japanese pirates off guard."

"Okay!" Xie Jinyuan slammed his fist on the table, his eyes full of determination, "Let's catch these little devils in a trap!"

Jiang Shijia also nodded approvingly, then turned around and prepared to go with Yang Ruifu to check the deployment in various places, but was stopped by Xie Jinyuan.

"Brother Shi Jia," Xie Jinyuan's voice was a little hoarse, "you...your sister..."

Jiang Shijia paused, he knew what Xie Jinyuan wanted to say.

So he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry, my little sister is very righteous and will understand me!"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated and strode out of the office.

Xie Jinyuan looked at Jiang Shijia's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that this battle would be disastrous, and perhaps the two brothers and sisters would never meet again in this life...

Meanwhile, Sacred Heart Hospital.

"Brother, why are you so stupid!"

Jiang Shiyuan's tears burst out instantly, the note was soaked by her tears, and the handwriting became a little blurred.

She knew in her heart that her brother had already dedicated himself to the country, disregarding life and death!

Then she looked at her watch and found that it was exactly 27: in the morning on the th.

According to her memory of historical facts, Jiang Shijia and Xie Jinyuan should have completed the strategic deployment at the Sihang Warehouse and officially declared war on the Japanese pirates.

Jiang Shiyuan put the note in his pocket, stumbled out of the ward, and ran desperately in the hospital corridor, trying to catch up with the tall and stubborn figure.

"Ayan, hurry up! Let's go to the Sihang Warehouse to find my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyan followed closely behind, and reminded him as he chased after him: "Ayuan, run slower and be careful with your steps!"

Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan stopped a rickshaw in front of the Sacred Heart Hospital and quickly rushed to the new garbage bridge.

But at this time, there were several Eagle Country soldiers armed with live ammunition standing on the sentry box at the bridgehead.

They put up huge iron fences and no longer allowed pedestrians to pass through the bridge.

On the other side of the Suzhou River, the vanguard of the Japanese Army's 3rd Division tentatively sent troops to the warehouse. There were about thirty or forty people, who were cautiously advancing towards the warehouse under the cover of a small armored vehicle.

In addition, there is a bunker on the west side of the Sihang Warehouse, which was originally prepared for defending the concession. It is located between the Bank of Communications and the Sihang Warehouse.

Xie Jinyuan arranged four squads of machine gunners from the first company to ambush in the fortifications, forming an outer defense line with the guard troops withdrawn from the dry bridge, while the machine gun company was hidden on the upper floors of the Sihang Warehouse, using the high altitude advantage to suppress the Japanese pirates.

After careful planning, our army turned the 200-meter-long Guangfu Road from the bunker to the Sihang Warehouse into an ideal ambush circle, just waiting for the Japanese to take the bait.

As expected, after the Japanese pirates entered the ambush, the guard troops in the civilian houses and the machine gun companies set up at the warehouses opened fire at the same time.

"Da da da da da..."

Dense bullets poured out like raindrops, instantly turning the few Japanese pirate soldiers who were rushing in the front into sieves.

"boom!"

A mortar shell landed precisely next to a small armored vehicle, and the shock wave from the explosion knocked the vehicle to the ground.

"Kill!"

The soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the road rushed out of their bunkers, holding bayonets and charging towards the enemy with roars.

"Baga! There's an ambush!"

The remaining Japanese pirates tried to retreat in panic, but were pinned down by dense fire.

In less than ten minutes, our army wiped out all the vanguard troops of these Japanese pirates.

Originally, there were not many people watching on the south bank of Suzhou River at this time, and most of them were foreign reporters.

They were constantly taking photos and reporting, determined to grab the front page headlines of major newspapers, but they were just spectators in this war.

Although the battle at Sihang Warehouse just now was small in scale, it was of great significance, indicating that the Chinese army is still fighting.

"Extra! The Chinese army defends the Sihang Warehouse and strikes hard at the Japanese invaders!"

The newsboy waved the newspaper he had just printed and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What? The Chinese army is still resisting?"

"Is this true? Didn't they say that Shanghai has basically fallen?"

"Let's go and have a look!"

The foreigners and Chinese in the concession were shocked by the news and flocked to the Suzhou River.

At this moment, thousands of citizens have slowly gathered on the south bank of Suzhou River.

Some of them stood on the rooftops of their own houses, some stood on the river bank, and some even climbed to the tops of trees, looking at the Sihang Warehouse on the opposite bank.

Their faces showed shock, confusion, worry, but more of it was admiration and emotion.

“I see it! I see it! That’s the Sihang Warehouse!”

"Those in military uniform are our heroes!"

"They are so brave! They do something even though they know it's impossible!"

"We can't let them fight alone! We have to support them!"

There were bursts of warm applause and cheers from the crowd.

People waved their hats, handkerchiefs and newspapers to salute the defenders on the other side.

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"The Chinese army will win!"

"Long live the Chinese nation!"

The slogans resounded through the sky and echoed over the Suzhou River.

Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan, who were standing by the river, were also deeply shocked by the spectacular scene.

More people spontaneously sent the supplies urgently needed by the defenders to the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. In less than a day, the donated supplies filled 10 large trucks.

"Ayan, look, this is the backbone and patriotism of us Chinese people!"

Jiang Shiyuan pointed to the Sihang Warehouse on the opposite bank, tears glistening in his eyes.

"Yes, Ayuan, so we absolutely cannot stand idly by!" Chen Qingyan clenched his hands and said firmly.

Jiang Shiyuan knew that Chen Qingyan had the same idea as him and was willing to go to the Sihang Warehouse to help, so he told him his initial idea.

"Ayan, the reason why I decided to enter the Sihang Warehouse is that I wanted to serve as a battlefield doctor and go to my brother's side to help those injured soldiers."

"Second, I want to interview the heroes of the Sihang Warehouse up close and in depth, film them, record their mental journey, provide first-hand materials for the newspaper, and let the whole world see their heroic deeds."

“Third, we want to quickly establish communication between the Sihang Warehouse and the outside world, so that if there are any new instructions from the superiors, they can make timely adjustments.”

Chen Qingyan agreed deeply with what he heard, but was worried about how they could safely pass the new garbage bridge.

Jiang Shiyuan was inspired by the movie "Eight Hundred" and wanted to find a flag of the Eagle Country as a cover to quickly cross the bridge.

She decided to go to Ping An Pharmacy with Chen Qingyan to prepare some urgently needed medical supplies.

Then I used the phone there to call my godfather and asked him to help get an Eagle Country flag and a communication telephone line.

"Ayan, let's go to Ping An Pharmacy right away!"

Jiang Shiyuan pulled Chen Qingyan, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards Ping An Pharmacy.

In Ping An Pharmacy, the store manager, Mr. Huang, is busy at the counter.

"Old Huang! Old Huang!" Jiang Shiyuan rushed into the pharmacy breathlessly and shouted loudly.

When Old Huang saw Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan, he immediately put down his work and came forward with tears in his eyes.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyan, it's great that you've returned safely from the field hospital!"

Jiang Shiyuan didn't have time to reminisce with Lao Huang, and said straight to the point: "Lao Huang, my brother is in the Sihang Warehouse, A Yan and I are going to help him!"

"What? Marshal Jiang is also in the Sihang Warehouse?" Old Huang was shocked. "That place is now a dangerous place!"

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were firm. "I know, so I can't let him and those soldiers fight alone in the Sihang Warehouse!"
