Chapter 72

Under the pressure exerted by the Japanese army, the authorities of the British Concession had to express their position that they would no longer accept the withdrawal of the remaining defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, and closed the passage from the New Garbage Bridge to the Sixing Warehouse.

At this point, the Japanese army strategically blocked the final retreat for Xu Qingfeng and the officers and soldiers of the third battalion.

When the news came back, Xiaoxing Takamori hurried to the headquarters.

Riichiro Katayama, who was still waiting for news, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the brigade commander that there is news from the consulate and the dispatched army headquarters.

The British concession authorities have been forced to close the New Garbage Bridge and no longer allow the Sihang Warehouse defenders to retreat to the concession. "

Hearing this, Riichiro Katayama stood up, nodded excitedly and said, "Hey Xi, with this, Xu Qingfeng's retreat will be completely cut off.

This time, we must completely wipe them out to comfort the spirits of Colonel Kuragatatsuharu and the colleagues of the 6th Regiment who died in the battle. "

Takamori nodded deeply, and raised his concerns: "General, judging from the previous battles.

Xu Qingfeng was very good at war and dangerous chess, and he was also proficient in Japanese. This was why he had been able to pass through many lines of defense of the imperial army in a majestic way.

It was because they changed into the uniforms of the imperial army and got the password.

We have to guard against this and find a way to prevent Xu Qingfeng from repeating his old tricks and escaping from Sihang Warehouse again. "

After hearing this, Riichiro Katayama muttered with deep approval: "Well, this worry is not unreasonable."

After a pause, the old devil Katayama Riichiro said again: "In this way, the order will be passed on, and immediately, all the defense areas and blockades of the troops under the brigade will implement a strict interrogation system.

That is, in addition to the normal passwords, Japanese questions need to be asked to teams above the squad size.

In addition to the leading officer, three to five people must be selected and asked for passwords or other information.

It is impossible for Xu Qingfeng's troops to be proficient in Japanese. In this way, the possibility of them pretending to be the imperial army and escaping across the sea can be completely eliminated! "

Takamori Takashi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod and praise: "General, this method is very good. In this way, Xu Qingfeng and the others will not be able to escape!"

"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's implement it immediately!" Riichiro Katayama waved his hand very usefully.

"Hay!" Takamori Takashi nodded hurriedly, and immediately turned around and left with the saber in his arms.

……

Suzhou, 3rd Theater Temporary Headquarters.

Because, I am also anxiously waiting for news from the front line, especially Sihang Warehouse.

Therefore, Chen Cheng and other senior generals were not asleep yet.

Just as everyone was waiting to see through, a communication lieutenant came quickly.

Standing at attention to Chen Cheng and the others, he saluted: "Boss, the latest news came from the Songhu Garrison Headquarters that the Bureau of Industry in the British Concession, under pressure from the Japanese side, is no longer willing to accept the defenders of our Sixing Warehouse and withdraw into the British Concession.

At present, the garrison in the British Concession has closed the passage to the New Garbage Bridge, and the retreat of Xu Qingfeng's troops has been cut off. "

"What?" Chen Cheng and other high-level officials of the third war zone present were all taken aback.

Everyone couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up at the same time.

A senior staff officer couldn't help but said to Chen Cheng: "Chief Commander, what should we do?"

Another staff officer said angrily: "Xu Qingfeng and the others disobeyed orders on the battlefield and found themselves in a desperate situation. They are really to blame for themselves."

In his heart, Chen Cheng still admired Xu Qingfeng and his army of heroes who had made many military exploits.

He raised his hand to stop the staff officer, and said with a final word: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility."

The senior staff officer who spoke first said: "Chief Commander, how should we respond now?"

Chen Cheng muttered: "For the current plan, we can only let Xu Qingfeng and the others find a way to break out of the encirclement on their own."

After speaking, he turned around and ordered the communications lieutenant: "Immediately ask the Songhu Security Headquarters to tell Xu Qingfeng that the New Garbage Bridge has been blocked by the British Concession.

The way to evacuate through the British Concession has been cut off, so he was allowed to lead his troops to break through by himself.

The Songhu Police Headquarters and the Secret Service should do their best to provide them with some help.

As for the rest, let’s wait until Xu Qingfeng and the others come back alive. "

"Yes!" The communications lieutenant quickly stood up and saluted, then quickly took the order and left.

……

The Four Lines Warehouse, although the British Concession closed the retreat passage on the New Garbage Bridge.

However, under the strong protest of the people on the South Bank, as well as Xie Jinyuan and other four-line warriors, the Songhu Garrison Command of the National Army, the city government and other circles.

The telephone line leading to the Sixing Warehouse was retained, which kept Xu Qingfeng and the others in contact with the outside world.

In the command post on the third floor inside the warehouse, Xu Qingfeng, Zhang Zhijian, Sun Kui, Lei Xiong and others were eating together and discussing the next operational deployment.

A correspondent rushed over and saluted Xu Qingfeng: "Report to the Battalion Commander, the latest news from the Songhu Security Command.

Said that the British had closed the New Junk Bridge and would no longer allow us to retreat into the concession.

The summit ordered us to break out on our own and would do everything possible to provide us with some help. "

Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Lei Xiong and others were somewhat shocked and nervous when they heard the words.

But seeing that Xu Qingfeng looked calm and not panicked at all, they felt a little relieved.

Xu Qingfeng's eyes lit up when he heard it, because he had already thought about how to lead the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to survive the Jedi and escape from the sky.

However, there is currently no good way to implement this plan.

To be precise, there is no good excuse to cover himself for implementing this plan.

Because his plan was to use the [-] sets of individual diving equipment that he had received from three consecutive gift packages.

Xu Qingfeng knew very well that after the devils had suffered a lot of losses, it was probably impossible for the devils to rely on wearing Japanese military uniforms to cross the Japanese war zone to break out of the siege.

It is even said that the entire retreat route on land may have been cut off.

In this case, the only way to go is by water.

Fortunately, they are close to the Suzhou River, and the Songhu area is densely covered with water networks.

As long as he could properly use the individual diving equipment, Xu Qingfeng would be confident that he could lead the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to escape from the heavy siege of the Japanese troops without even noticing.

However, he hastily took out these more than 200 diving equipment for fear of arousing suspicion.

Therefore, after repelling the devil's attack, he had been secretly thinking about how to find a suitable reason to cover the appearance of the two hundred sets of diving equipment.

The report of the messenger just now reminded him.

He could have passed the blame for these [-] sets of diving equipment to the Songhu Security Headquarters, as well as other patriotic forces such as the Secret Service in the concession.

As for the Brits, he doesn't care if they block new shit.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfeng immediately told the communications soldier: "Contact Commander Yang immediately and ask him to get us a batch of diving equipment. The more the better.

But remember, this matter must be kept secret and must not be known to the Japanese. "
