Lin Fan suddenly emerged from behind the Sihang Warehouse with a team of 130 men.

The first shot took out the last grenade launcher of the Kojima Taro Company, and also sent a dozen or so devils to see their Amaterasu Omikami.

Captain Kojima Taro, a veteran of many battles, discovered that a troop of defenders had suddenly rushed out from another direction.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

Although his company had also lost dozens of soldiers, they retreated very quickly.

Lin Fan looked at the retreating Japanese troops more than 200 meters away and could only sigh, watching them with regret.

His original plan was to rush out with his team and leave all the Japanese devils who came to attack this morning behind.

Not letting a single one go back alive.

But as always, plans can't keep up with changes.

Lin Fan could only lead his team back to the rear of the Sihang Warehouse to help Squad Leader Zhen clean up the battlefield.

This time, the soldiers of the Special Operations Company were lucky enough to retrieve three machine guns, two intact grenade launchers, and more than thirty grenades.

As for rifles, the entire Special Operations Company had already picked up hundreds.

By the time Lin Fan and the others returned to the Sihang Warehouse, the soldiers of the entire Special Operations Company were all high-spirited.

The uneasiness and anxiety of the morning were gone.

Seeing the demeanor of his men, Lin Fan smiled:

"Everyone in the company, continue training!"

Lin Fan's current training for these soldiers was to wipe their weapons immediately after a battle.

All the soldiers had to master all the weapons in the entire company: wiping, maintaining, operating, and using them.

Therefore, these soldiers had to study whenever they had time. Originally, they were only equipped with these weapons of the National Army.

In the past two days, Lin Fan had led them to capture many weapons from the Japanese devils.

According to Lin Fan's requirements, all soldiers had to learn how to use these weapons.

Every day, Lin Fan held a company-wide weapon disassembly and assembly exercise.

Now Lin Fan had come up with a new trick: tonight, all the soldiers of the Special Operations Company would hold a disassembly and assembly competition.

The competition method had been announced in advance: to disassemble the Zhongzheng rifle, the Type 38 rifle, the Hua submachine gun, and the Waterbury machine gun, mix all the parts, and then reassemble them.

Now these soldiers were all nervously familiarizing themselves with these weapons.

At the same time, Lin Fan was also having those tank operators take on apprentices.

He wanted all the soldiers in the entire Special Operations Company to learn how to drive tanks!

Regardless of whether these soldiers could shoot accurately, he first wanted them to learn how to make them fire!

Xie Jinyuan was now stuck with the twenty-odd wounded Japanese soldiers that the company commander had brought back:

These devils couldn't be killed.

But if they were kept, they would use their own medicines. How could he be willing?

All the supplies seized from the Japanese devils were those of the National Army.

As for the four Japanese medical soldiers, Xie Jinyuan was not polite and ordered them to treat the wounded soldiers of the National Army first.

Lin Fan's suggestion for this problem was: contact the Japanese through the concession.

Let the Japanese send a batch of medicines from the concession to exchange for these wounded soldiers.

At the same time, they could also agree to let the Japanese side send some people to collect the bodies of their dead soldiers.

"We are a righteous team, a humane team," Lin Fan said with a smile to Xie Jinyuan.

Listening to Lin Fan's words, and thinking about what his company had done behind the warehouse,

Xie Jinyuan felt a chill down his spine.

He immediately sent a communication soldier to release the attitude that the National Army was going to return twenty-five wounded Japanese soldiers.

And return all the corpses of the Japanese devils.

Of course, Regiment Commander Xie also brought up the shortage of medicines in the National Army.

Regimental Commander Misago just looked at the soldiers who had just retreated and felt a darkness before his eyes:

Of the five hundred soldiers who set off an hour ago, only a little more than one hundred and twenty had returned.

Two companies had been wiped out in their entirety.

Of the four infantry companies under the command of Captain Hasegawa, three had now been completely annihilated.

Of the remaining one, one-third of its strength had been lost.

Now he had only one machine gun company, one transport company, one artillery platoon, and the battalion headquarters left under his command.

Captain Hasegawa was preparing to make a desperate gamble: to personally go into battle and capture the Sihang Warehouse.

Just as his idea took shape and the order had not yet been issued, he received an order from Regimental Commander Misago: Suspend operations and await orders.

At this time, a heated discussion was taking place within the multinational military observation group:

Whether or not to allow the Japanese wounded soldiers to pass through the concession!

If they agreed, it would violate the original promise of the concession: No armed personnel from any other country are allowed to enter the concession!

Now that the situation in Shanghai was clear, the Japanese presence was an irreversible fact.

Therefore, everyone in the entire multinational military observation group tacitly did not mention this point.

It was considered a default agreement that the Japanese could take their wounded soldiers away through the concession.

Captain Hasegawa finally received the latest order half an hour later: "Send a transport team, with a white flag, without weapons, to the area where the fighting just took place, and carry back the bodies of the fallen imperial soldiers."

On the other side, a team of British and American soldiers escorting doctors and nurses also came from the concession to the outside of the Sihang Warehouse, which was guarded by the National Army.

To receive those twenty-odd wounded Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, they sent a lot of medicines to the 524th Regiment stationed here.

These medicines were ultimately paid for by the Japanese.

After this batch of wounded Japanese soldiers was sent into the concession, Regiment Commander Xie proposed to the concession: "Send ten seriously wounded soldiers from the 524th Regiment to the concession hospital for treatment."

His request was quickly approved: Anyway, the Japanese had broken the rules.

If the wounded Chinese soldiers wanted to come in, let them come!

The senior officials of the National Army, who were staying on the south bank of the Suzhou River, were all happy to hear that Regiment Commander Xie was going to send the seriously wounded soldiers to the concession for treatment.

These soldiers who shed blood and sweat would finally not have to shed tears!

The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with the soldiers of the Special Operations Company.

They were all nervously disassembling and assembling the guns in their hands.

Lin Fan was still teaching these soldiers, explaining in detail the function of each part in the gun.

Lei Xiong was very inspired by Lin Fan's explanation.

He proposed to let the soldiers of his machine gun company also participate in the training of the Special Operations Company.

Lin Fan would never refuse such a request. He would not refuse anything that could enhance the combat effectiveness of the country and the nation.

Li Xian, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao, had been restless and fidgeting ever since Lin Fan led his team back from a sweep outside.

He had a question in his mind and didn't know how to say it to Lin Fan: "Are we comrades?"

If he didn't ask this question clearly, he felt that he would never be able to sleep.

But Lin Fan was very busy!

Very busy!

He made himself very busy! Lin Fan had to explain the weapons to these soldiers, and also arrange for some soldiers to learn how to drive tanks and fire cannons.

Every soldier needed to learn it.

Therefore, Lin Fan's arrangement was needed.

Captain Hasegawa looked at the bodies of the soldiers carried back by his transport team, nearly four hundred bodies with only one piece of cloth on them from top to bottom.

The clothing and identification items on these soldiers were all gone.

With so many dead soldiers, how could their names and identities be identified?

This did not stump Captain Hasegawa: "Cremate them all, and divide some ashes into the porcelain jars containing the ashes according to the list of the dead.

Just write the names of different soldiers on them."

The battlefield had been cleaned up, the wounded had been received into the concession, and the next step was to continue the attack.

Just as Captain Hasegawa was about to personally lead the last of his battalion to launch an attack,

Regimental Commander Misago finally issued the latest order: "Hasegawa Battalion, retreat to the rear for rest."

Three infantry companies in an infantry battalion had been completely annihilated, and their combat effectiveness had been disintegrated by sixty or seventy percent. It was really not suitable to continue the assault.

Hasegawa retreated with shame, unwillingly, and somewhat thankfully.

Not only was he unwilling, but Regimental Commander Misago was also being scolded bloody by Major General Katayama, commander of the brigade, and had received ten-odd slaps back and forth.

Amid the constant "Hai! Hai!" sounds, he returned in a mess.

He issued the order for the 6th Regiment to withdraw.

The 68th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Nakashiro, would take over his regiment and continue to attack the Sihang Warehouse.

Under the enthusiastic gaze of Brigadier General Katayama, Lieutenant Colonel Nakashiro stood at attention and made a military pledge: to guarantee that he would invite the Brigadier General to inspect the Sihang Warehouse before sunset today!

This military pledge instantly made Katayama feel better: Nakashiro-san! Well done, I have high hopes for you! The Nakashiro Regiment replaced the Misago Regiment, and the Sihang Warehouse in the middle of the event did not feel it at all.

Anyway, no matter how the Japanese devils came, they only had one way to go: fight back!

There was only one battle this morning, and the Japanese devils' attack died down.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Company also ended their tense training and could rest for a while.

Liu Laopao sat on the ground without any regard for the rules: "Our company commander is good at everything, but he is too ruthless.

As soon as he makes a move, he wants to wipe out all the Japanese devils.

Look, in one morning, he wiped out two companies of Japanese devils. Now the Japanese devils don't dare to come up."

Yang Daren sneered: "It's not that the Japanese devils don't dare to come up, they must be brewing a big move!

As for you saying that the company commander is ruthless?

Our company commander is too soft-hearted, he is always too soft-hearted!"

Feng Junya immediately jumped up: "Who the hell are you talking about?"

Today, his little thoughts on the battlefield were understood by the old soldiers in the back: Feng Junya did have some little thoughts today.

It was just that at the last moment, he changed his mind.

From the fact that Lin Fan rescued him with a shot in the midst of his busy schedule, Feng Junya knew that Lin Fan really did what he said: You can entrust your back to your comrades with confidence!

He really did that.

Because of this, Feng Junya jumped up like a rat whose tail had been stepped on.

Yang Daren also stood up: "I'm talking about you! What's wrong with that?"

Lin Fan stood up at this time: I want to say something about this matter to everyone.

Lao Feng saved me at the time. There were four Japanese devils in front of me. Although I blocked their first attack,

I can't completely guarantee that I can block the next attack.

Lao Feng's bayonet from behind directly stabbed one of the devils to death, and then he held back the other two devils.

In fact, Lao Feng held back three devils by himself. We two worked together and killed two devils each.

Lao Feng made a great contribution today.

Lin Fan's words immediately suppressed all the discussions.

Feng Junya's eyes were red, and he said loudly, "Yes! Company Commander, I did think at the time: If I stabbed you at this time, would you be able to dodge it?

I just thought about it, but I didn't really want to stab you.

So when I stabbed out with that gun, even if you didn't move those two steps, your bayonet would only stab out close to your side.

I had a good look at it. This shot was unexpected and would definitely be able to kill that devil."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I know that your shot was stabbed along my clothes.

I'm afraid you also wanted to scare me in your heart!"

Feng Junya smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't the company commander save my life, so I wanted to save some face!

I didn't expect the company commander to save me again later!"

Lin Fan smiled: "Everyone is a brother in life and death, a life-and-death relationship. You save me, and I save you. This debt can't be cleared up. Everyone just needs to know: We are now fighting against the Japanese, resisting foreign aggression.

Under this premise, all personal grievances and party disputes can be put down."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, a burst of applause rang out around him.

Those reporters were all on the side, and they couldn't help but applaud when they heard Lin Fan's words.

Li Xian asked with a smile, "Company Commander Lin is right, 'Brothers quarrel at home, but unite against outside aggression.'"

His words were too elegant, and many soldiers didn't understand them. They were asking around, what did this mean?

Jia Shusheng explained with a smile, "Brothers are watching a show inside the wall, and a person named Yu Qiru is crawling on the wall and watching the show too."

Lin Fan almost laughed out loud.

Seeing that Li Xian was a little embarrassed, he immediately said, "Old Jia, you explained it very well.

There is also another immature explanation: Brothers quarrel and fight at home, but when foreigners bully them, they still resist the bullying of foreigners together."

Liu Dapao said with a smile: "That's right! Brothers are connected by flesh and blood. When foreigners bully them, of course they have to fight back together.

Company commander, if someone really stabbed you in the back at that time, could you dodge it?"

Li Xian took back the "comrade!" that he was about to ask.

Smiling, he was not embarrassed now, and neither was anyone else!

Lin Fan said with a smile: "On the battlefield, everyone is a comrade-in-arms. A comrade-in-arms' back is for protection, not for stabbing.

As for whether I can dodge it?

Anyone who has ideas can try it!

But I'll say the ugly things first. I will definitely not hold back my counterattack against anyone who hits me in the back on the battlefield."

Liu Dapao quickly said, "Company Commander, I'm just curious! I wouldn't even dare to think about it in my heart. I already lost to you.

I've always been a person who admits defeat.

What's more, you've been leading us to fight against the Japanese devils these past two days.

I've been a soldier for so many years, and only these two days have been comfortable and hard-hitting.

I also feel that: So that's how being a soldier can be!

People can still live like this!"

Feng Junya also said, "What I admire the most is people who are capable and righteous.

Company commander, you are this!"

He said, sticking out his thumb.

"Repay kindness with virtue! Don't bear grudges!

These are just for me personally, and they're nothing!

Leading everyone to fight against the Japanese devils, winning every time.

Looking at the bodies of those Japanese devils lying on the ground, I'm so happy that I want to laugh.

I want to step on them a few times!

Really, as long as I can keep fighting against the Japanese devils like this,

You can take my life away!"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I don't want your life, I don't want your lives, and I also advise you to protect your own lives.

We've been working so hard these past two days.

And the brothers of the 524th Regiment worked together, and we only killed less than seven hundred Japanese devils in total.

According to one brother for one hundred Japanese devils, those Japanese devils can only be buried with seven dead brothers.

It's just that our company has already sacrificed two brothers, plus the lives of those brothers from the 524th Regiment.

The Japanese devils still owe three hundred lives!"

Xiao Dongbei suddenly cried out, "The Japanese devils owe my family one thousand three hundred lives. My grandparents, father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, thirteen members of my family have all died at the hands of the Japanese devils.

Company commander, you're right!

I can't die, I must make the Japanese devils pay their blood debt!"

Lin Fan said seriously, "Xiao Dongbei! We are all comrades-in-arms, your hatred is the hatred of all of us.

Let's work together to avenge grandpa and grandma as soon as possible, so that they can live in peace underground!"

Xiao Dongbei talked about his life experience!

It immediately aroused the sad feelings of many soldiers in the entire Special Operations Company!

Several of them had escaped from the Northeast, and most of their family members had been killed by the Japanese devils.

These people stood up one by one, accusing the Japanese devils of their atrocities in the Northeast.

The eyes of the soldiers in the entire Special Operations Company were all red.

Hearing these tragic situations, everyone was filled with indignation and couldn't wait to fight to the Northeast immediately.

To avenge their comrades-in-arms.

The soldiers of the 524th Regiment heard the tragic stories of these soldiers from the Northeast in their hometowns.

They also became united against the enemy.

In the 524th Regiment, there were also people whose hometowns had been occupied by the Japanese devils. They still didn't know how the situation in their hometowns was.

After listening to Xiao Dongbei's words, they also began to worry about their relatives who were left in their hometowns.

Lin Fan said loudly, "As long as we fight against the Japanese devils well and drive the Japanese devils back to their hometown as soon as possible.

Our country, our hometown, and our folks can live a truly peaceful life."

Lin Fan's words resonated with all the officers and soldiers!

The morning passed quickly, and it was time for dinner!

The 524th Regiment guarding the Sihang Warehouse still had benefits. The food sent by the citizens of Shanghai yesterday evening was very plentiful and very good.

The soldiers stationed in the Sihang Warehouse all had good food!

Even from Lin Fan's perspective from the 21st century, this kind of life was above standard.

The citizens of Shanghai took the initiative to send supplies to the National Army, the garrison guarding the isolated island,

This also shows the popular sentiment from another side!
