Safe evacuation

  There is a song that Old Wang will definitely sing. The music was composed by Nie Er and the lyrics were written by Tian Han. The title of the song is "The March of the Volunteers". Old Wang thought to himself: Rebirth is really too awesome, so many awesome big shots wrote songs for me. Wow haha.

  But after all, this song still can't be used. If it's used in the future, the butterfly effect will have a big impact. I'd better find that one from history. After flipping through for half a day, I finally found "China Must Be Strong". Old Wang asked: "Go find someone who studies music to come and this song is currently being sung internally by your Boy Scouts

  Yang Huimin ran off in a flash to carry out her task.

  Old Wang rushed to the church and found the priest, saying: "Father, the critical moment has arrived. I want you to go with me now to persuade the Chinese soldiers on the other side to cross the river. This way, the concession will be safe. You are the guardian of the concession's safety."

  The priest suddenly understood everything. He smiled and said: "Wang, you are a loyal and clever follower of mine. The Lord will bless you."

  Old Wang interrupted him and said, "Good things can't be monopolized by one person. I need you to take in these few hundred people."

  The priest's face turned green and he said: "The cost of several hundred people is not a big problem, at most we can ask the National Government for it, but these few hundred people..."

  To be honest with you, my friends in the military said that these few hundred people will definitely be put under house arrest by the concession authorities. Don't even mention taking them in, just mentioning this matter is also a political risk."

  Old Wang saw that the priest was about to turn against him, so he hastily pulled out his trump card and threatened: "If you don't agree, I'll expose all your secrets."

  Father Haha burst out laughing: "Wang, first of all, what do you have on me? I saved you because you were a critically ill patient. I sent grain to the other side because of humanitarianism. What else do you have on me? Last time I was threatened by you was because there were more opposing voices within the church. Now it's different, those guys have been exiled back to their country."

  Lao Wang felt that he had underestimated the intelligence of the British. He wanted to play with the eagle, but was pecked in the eye by the eagle instead. Lao Wang was very displeased in his heart.

  At this time, the priest said again: "However, Wang, I still want to thank you. The matter of sending materials across the river has been confirmed by the top. The owner of this church is now me. In any case, you have helped me after all. If you have anything else in the future, you can come and ask for my help. I have something to do with it."

  The priest finished speaking and turned around to leave.

  As he was leaving, he said: "I heard that recently there is a British Chinese journalist who is very famous, I don't know if you've heard or not."

  Old Wang thought to himself: "Damn it, this old guy really holds grudges. He's threatening me now. It's also because I did things too excessively, letting that old priest gain enough prestige during the transportation of supplies. Now that he doesn't need me anymore, he kicks me out with one foot. This kind of thing has happened many times before, so it doesn't feel too bad. For now, I can only put the troops under the concession government. At least my life is saved."

  Old Wang returned to the riverbank and found that there were still many people on the riverside cheering for the warriors guarding the warehouse.

  The order to retreat had been loudly proclaimed by Soong Tse-ven. In order to gain the sympathy of "friendly nations". The crowd was clearly more interested in the telegram sent out by the brave warriors vowing to defend the warehouse to the death.

  The newsboys on the riverside are all very happy. In the past two days, various local newspapers in Shanghai have reprinted the situation of the four-line warehouse. The newspapers in the hands of the newsboys are not enough to buy. Usually, these little guys go to pick up the newspaper and carefully calculate it, trying not to leave any behind. Now they don't need to calculate at all. As long as there is the latest news, the newspaper will be snapped up immediately.

  Lao Wang didn't know how many times he had run back to the warehouse. As soon as he entered the headquarters, he asked Xie Jinyuan to notify all personnel to prepare to withdraw into the concession.

  Old Wang apologized and said: "There's a problem with the church. I reckon you'll be taken in by the authorities. Your lives won't be in danger, but there's a rumor that you'll be put under house arrest."

  Xie Jin-yuan smiled wryly and said, "Foreigners are always unreliable. But still, thanks for helping us negotiate. The second telegram from the Ministry of War has arrived. It orders us to withdraw immediately."

  Old Wang patted Xie Jin-yuan's shoulder and said: "Execute the command! Tell the brothers to pay attention to hiding, don't let the devils find out."

  Tanaka Toshio came to the front of the Shikin warehouse and watched the warehouse with binoculars.

  Tanaka said to Major Ono: "However, it is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This time, I have mobilized the most advanced weapons in our division."

  Ono was more familiar with the weapons possessed by the troops. He asked, "Are they heavy artillery at the division level?! General, I remind you that next door is a concession. If we can use aircraft and heavy artillery, just one barrage of fire will cover everything. The Chinese soldiers will be finished if we bomb them with planes."

  "Tanaka shook his head and said, 'Ono, China is a great nation, they invented many excellent tactics. You should study Chinese history well. Especially the history of Genghis Khan and the Qing Dynasty is very beneficial for our unification of China.'"

  Ono was still puzzled. Tanaka pointed to the back and said, "I brought 1,000 ordinary Chinese civilians. Most of them are old people and children. Now order your troops to have each soldier bring only a bayonet to escort one hostage forward. Let's see what use China's superior firepower is. Order the mortar to give intensive fire to the passage where the defenders retreated towards the concession."

  Ono finally understood the gap between himself and the chief of staff. This man is not human, he's a beast. A beast who will stop at nothing to win.

  Tanaka said with a lingering tone: "Tell your soldiers not to fire a single bullet in this battle"

  "Use bayonets only. All Chinese troops must be killed. Offer their blood as sacrifice for our soldiers."

  Ono felt a chill run down his spine as he stood beside this person, cold to the bone.

  The soldiers below had almost all withdrawn. In order to secretly withdraw, the soldiers all crawled out of the sandbags in the fortifications. When Commander Xie learned that the concession was going to be disarmed, he ordered the soldiers to smash all the heavy weapons. Each person only brought rifle bullets. Many soldiers were reluctant to part with these heavy weapons. Especially Hei Da Ge, who hugged his Czech-style machine gun and refused to let go. Commander Xie had no choice but to issue an order that those who did not follow orders would be subject to military law. The soldiers then smashed their own mortars and heavy machine guns. Without the heavy weapons, the retreat seemed exceptionally easy. In the end, only Old Wang and a few high-ranking officers were left in the warehouse.

  Xie Jin-yuan patted the warehouse's densely packed bullet holes and said: "When I came, I thought I was going to die here in glory. Unexpectedly, I'm still alive and walking out. Everything here is really a bit hard to part with. The last move of that national flag must be mine. I want to hold it up and enter the concession."

  Old Wang took his camera and kept taking pictures of the scenery in the warehouse. Because Old Wang remembered that the protection of the warehouse was not good in his era. The memorial hall is unknown where it went. The whole warehouse is just a big shopping mall. It can only be found from the inscription that this is the former Sihang Warehouse. Leave some photos for future generations, tell them that the Japanese once invaded China with shells and bullets.

  Just then, Shangguan Zhibiao came running over, panting and shouting: "Come quick! The Japanese are coming again. There are Chinese civilians in between."

  Several people immediately ran to the window on the second floor to observe.

  "Your mother." Zhe Jin Yuan rarely spoke crudely.

  Lao Wang felt that messing with his wife was an insult to himself. Just like Chinese people of his era who went to Japan and liked to go to the red-light district to mess around with Japanese women. Why are there always such people?! However, Lao Wang knew that everyone was scolding his wife at this moment to express their indignation.

  Old Wang said to several officers, "Let's go! The devils have made such a big fuss and haven't even gotten a feather. It's enough to make their commander angry. Right, let's carry out those charred corpses of the Japanese. Mark them clearly, so they won't be mistaken for Chinese and autopsied."

  Xie Jin-yuan turned around and gave the order to retreat. A few people came to the concession on the other side of the river. As expected, all Chinese soldiers were disarmed. Everyone stood on the riverbank with their heads hung low, completely demoralized. Old Wang poked Xie Jin-yuan and asked him to give the order to assemble.

  Zhe Jin-yuan stood on the riverbank and shouted loudly: "Assemble!

  。”

  He tried to boost the morale of his troops with his own voice. The effect was not obvious, and the warriors stood together in a scattered manner, shaking their heads. After all, they were the last team defending Shanghai. As a result, losing the position and still being alive could not be said to be an insult to the soldiers.

  Old Wang gave Yang Huiming a wink. The boy scouts led by Yang Huiming sang in unison "China Will Not Be Defeated".

  This song has been sung by many people on Chinese soil since then, but today is the first time. For the 400 who died defending Shanghai. For the entire Chinese nation's war of resistance.

  The crowd on the riverbank was fully mobilized, and most people sang along. The result was a song that shocked heaven and earth, moved ghosts and gods to tears. The warriors were all excited and left behind hot tears. Even British officers and soldiers who didn't understand what Chinese meant were deeply moved.

  But there was one person who didn't seem too pleased.

  On the opposite bank of the river, in a four-story warehouse, the chief of staff of the Japanese Third Division, Tani Hisao, was wielding his command sword and slashing wildly. He was furious. He had set up such a large formation, but hadn't seen even a ghostly figure. Suddenly, he heard singing coming from the opposite bank and asked the interpreter what it meant. The interpreter translated truthfully for him. Tani Hisao exploded in rage.

  "Damn it! The Chinese still dare to sing on the other side of the river. Organize a group of people to sing Japanese songs and suppress their momentum."

  The officer gave the order to leave. At this time, Major Shōno came up cautiously and said: "Just found a few Japanese corpses, all of which were unrecognizable. They had been charred."

  Tanaka was so angry that he staggered on the spot for a few days, which is a prelude to cerebral hemorrhage in medical terms.

  "Tanaka shouted: 'If I have the chance, I will kill all these Chinese. Ono, go tell the concession government that if they allow these Chinese to leave Shanghai, I will send troops to take down the concession.'"

  "Yes."

  Taniyama asked, "Is there anything else?" when he found Ono hadn't left yet.

  "Can we report our battle results to the commander now?"

  Tanaka beckoned to Ono to stop talking. Tanaka fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "The whole of Shanghai is electrified with the news that our troops are engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders at the Sihang Warehouse."
