Chapter 363 Before the Great War (10)
It turned out that after being attacked in the dormitory area, someone went to Yang Yuxin's home to invite Yang Yuxin to come forward to preside over the overall situation. He knew that he had no response when knocking on the door, and he didn't know if Yang Yuxin was at home, so he had to do it.
Later, the troops guarding the dormitory area rushed over, defeated the enemy attacking the dormitory area, stabilized the situation, and invited several officials from the Shanghai New District to come out to take charge of the overall situation. These officials naturally wanted to invite Yang Yuxin again, and during the day, someone saw Yang Yuxin go home. When this time, no one responded, several officials made the decision and broke into the door, but found that Yang Yuxin's family was unconscious. At this time, the administrative district came to ask Yang Yuxin, so several officials hurried to report to the administrative district.
After receiving this news, Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao's good moods were all gone. The two of them never thought that an attack would occur in the dormitory area, and the attacked one was actually the leader of the Shanghai New District. If Yang Yuxin had an accident, then the working group would have a great responsibility.
Although according to the current news, Yang Yuxin is not in danger, the two of them cannot be completely at ease, because the attack occurred in the dormitory area, and Yang Yuxin's family was attacked, which means that some hostile personnel have been involved in the dormitory area, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will be attacked. Most of the residents in the dormitory area are time travelers or families. No matter who is injured, the Ministry of Security is to blame. Therefore, at this time, someone should immediately rush to the dormitory area to preside over the overall situation. However, although the situation in the Shanghai New District is basically controlled, the chaos has not completely subsided. In the administrative area, someone needs to take charge.
In the end, we had to decide that Jiang Shiwei would officially appear and go to the dormitory area to take charge of the overall situation.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The house where Ma Ruicheng and others were located was located in the edge of the Shanghai New District, so the troops stationed had not arrived yet. However, at this time, Ma Ruicheng had received news of the failure of the attack on the administrative area and the dormitory area, and all the other five teams were missing. However, they were probably in danger. However, more than 10 people gathered around Ma Ruicheng, all of whom were attacking the administrative area. After the failure of the dormitory area, they fled here to meet with Ma Ruicheng.
There was no news about the offensive outside. Just half an hour ago, there were dense gunfires at the intersection. It was obvious that the battle was fierce. Ma Ruicheng and others were also quite excited, hoping that the people on the outside would enter the Shanghai New District. But later the gunfire gradually stopped, and now it was almost unheard of. Ma Ruicheng and others also knew that the offensive outside would most likely fail.
At this time, someone asked Ma Ruicheng: "Team leader, what should we do now?"
Ma Ruicheng smiled bitterly in his heart. To be honest, he doesn't know what to do now. The failure of the offensive offense means that the action tonight has completely failed. People like him probably cannot escape the trap of overseas Chinese. They either die in battle or be captured. At most, only a few people may escape by chance.
But this cannot be said here, and Ma Ruicheng had to say no, so he said, "Everyone, the action tonight is almost over here. We have done our best and caused considerable damage to the Shanghai New District, but whether it is successful is not clear, because I don't know how much damage we have caused to the Shanghai New District." After a pause, Ma Ruicheng said, "As for our next plan, we have no way out. Either we are rushing out now and fight the overseas Chinese to add some damage to the Shanghai New District. We now have more than a dozen people and two boxes*, so we can still cause considerable damage; or we just hide here and don't go out, which can ensure temporary safety. However, after overseas Chinese stabilize the situation in the Shanghai New District, we will definitely conduct a large-scale search in the Shanghai New District, so we will definitely not be able to escape."
Liu Binggong said: "Team leader, then what are you going to do?"
Ma Ruicheng said: "Anyway, both the left and the other are dead. When I took on this mission, I have already put my life and death aside and are always ready to be loyal to the imperial kingdom. As for what I plan, it depends on how everyone decides."
When everyone heard this, they were silent. After a while, a man said, "Since both the left and the left are dead, why not rush out and rush, at least you can kill them before you die, which is also considered as our loyalty to the imperial kingdom."
His proposal was immediately responded by several people, and although the others did not agree, they did not object. Seeing this, Ma Ruicheng nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone has decided to go out and fight with overseas Chinese, then let's give overseas Chinese the last blow."
As he said that, Ma Ruicheng pulled out two boxes from under the table, both of which were packed, with 100 bottles in one box, while others were in high spirits. They immediately raised the boxes and walked out of the house. At this time, sporadic gunfires in the Shanghai New District were still heard.
Ma Ruicheng took out a * from the box, lit the cloth strip at the mouth of the bottle, and said, "You guys, this is our last battle, let's start from here..."
Before he could finish his words, someone shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing on the street at this time?" I saw a People's Army coming out at the corner of the streets and alleys in front.
It turned out that the People's Army, which was responsible for guarding this area, finally arrived. When they saw such a group of people gathering on the street at this time, there was no reason why they could not come to ask.
When Ma Ruicheng saw it, his face suddenly changed. He wanted to throw the * on the house, but immediately turned to the People's Army and threw it over. When the others saw it, they all picked up the * and threw it at the People's Army. However, what they were looking back was the People's Army's shooting.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Miyamoto Team Leader, Nakamura Team Leader, I really don't have the face to see you."
"Kun Kawashima, you have tried your best and did not attack the Shanghai New District. It is not your responsibility, so you don't have to blame yourself."
"Yes, Kawashima-kun, don't think too much, just take a good rest first, there are more important things waiting for you to do in the future?"
It turned out that the attack on the Shanghai New District failed. Prince Su Shanqi recruited less than 100 people, and all of them were scattered, while less than 30 Japanese soldiers were left.
Kawashima Naruo was evacuated from the battlefield by the veterans, and could only go to the Japanese consulate in the public concession to meet Miyamoto and Nakamura to report to them the entire battle.
In fact, such a big thing happened in the Shanghai New District tonight, causing such a big disturbance. Both the public concession, the French Concession, and the old city of Shanghai were alarmed. Of course, the public concession, the French Concession Industry Department and the Shanghai Daotai knew that Japan planned to launch an attack on the Shanghai New District. Of course, the Shanghai Daotai did not know that the entire incident was planned by Japan, and he thought it was led by Prince Su Shanqi.
In addition, Japan also communicated with the Public Concession and the Industrial Department of the French Concession through diplomatic channels, hoping to attack the Shanghai New Area by using the intersection of the Public Concession and the French Concession. However, it was solemnly rejected by the Public Concession and the French Concession, indicating that the Public Concession and the French Concession remain neutral and will not be biased towards either side, but Japan is never allowed to attack the Shanghai New Area by using the Public Concession and the French Concession area.
In fact, the public concession and the French concession secretly supported Japan, but they could not do it too obvious. If Japan was allowed to attack the Shanghai New Area from the public concession and the French concession, it would not only break up with the East China government, but also make a great feud. The East China government is not as easy to talk to as the Qing court, and will definitely retaliate against the public concession and the French concession. The public concession and the French concession do not want to wade into this muddy water.
However, although the French Concession does not allow Japan to attack the Shanghai New Area by leveraging the route, it still provides Japan with many convenient conditions. For example, these more than 70 retired Japanese soldiers and weapons have always been in the public concession, and the Japanese consulate in the public concession became the command center for the general conduct this time. At the same time, it also put pressure on the Shanghai Concession to prevent the Shanghai Concession from interfering in Japan's operations.
After Kawashima Nagasu was sent to rest, Miyamoto said: "Kun Nakamura, have we failed this action?"
Nakamura nodded and said, "I think yes, although I don't know the situation inside the Shanghai New District, with the control of overseas Chinese and the strength of our personnel in the Shanghai New District, it may be difficult to cause major damage to the Shanghai New District that can stop or delay their participation in the war. Don't forget that in the old time and space, China was the country with the strongest internal control in the world, and there was even no such thing. Once overseas Chinese troops join the war, it will inevitably cause a heavy blow to us, and Japan may lose this war."
Miyamoto said: "What if we immediately, regardless of any conditions, and we have to wait for Russia to get a truce? Although we can't get compensation, it's better than losing the war."
Nakamura shook his head and said, "It's useless, there's no turning back. Now this war cannot stop at all. And even if we stop the war without any conditions, it's impossible to talk within a few days. Now I just hope that Japan can defeat better and retain a little vitality."
Miyamoto smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that all the resources we accumulated for 5 years have been invested in. I will still get such a result."
Nakamura said: "That's impossible. We have accumulated for 5 years, and they have also accumulated for 5 years. And their foundation is much better than us. They are a fleet with a large number of weapons and equipment, with a number of 5,600 people. We only have a few people, poor and white, and the power difference is too great. It depends on how great they have achieved in the past 5 years. We have basically established a modern country, and we are just middle and lower-level officials in Japan. This is the gap. And this time, overseas Chinese will definitely find out our existence, and I'm afraid they will prevent us."
Miyamoto said: "What should we do? Aren't we completely lost, and Japan will never have a chance to rise?"
Nakamura shook his head and said, "There must be opportunities, but I want to rush back to Japan to meet Hirofumi Ito immediately. I hope that through his influence, Japan can reduce its losses, and then find ways to curb overseas Chinese."
Miyamoto nodded and said, "It's good."
