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

Chapter 164: Military and Civilians Unite

March 10, three o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, a dull thumping sound was heard outside the warehouse, breaking the brief silence.

"what sound?"

"It seems to be coming from outside the warehouse!"

"Oh no! Something's happening!"

The soldiers stood up one after another, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked around vigilantly.

"Da da da……"

A burst of hurried footsteps came from afar and echoed in the empty warehouse.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!" At Xie Jinyuan's command, the soldiers quickly entered combat status.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing instantly resounded throughout the Sihang Warehouse.

"The Japs are sneaking in!"

"They're on the second floor!"

"Quick! Block the stairs!"

"Da da da……"

"boom!"

The Sihang Warehouse suddenly fell into chaos, with bullets flying everywhere and flames shooting into the sky.

Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan protected Wei Yuqing tightly and hid in Xie Jinyuan's top-floor office.

"Don't be afraid, Yuqing, we are here, don't be afraid..." Jiang Shiyuan gently stroked Wei Yuqing's back and comforted her softly.

"Hmm..." Wei Yuqing listened to the deafening gunfire outside, suppressed the fear in her heart, hugged the camera bag tightly, and nodded.

She believed that these brave and fearless soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse would definitely protect them!

"The Japs are so cunning, they actually attacked in the dark!"

"Don't let them run away, beat them hard!" The company commander Shangguan Zhibiao shouted while chasing the Japanese pirates.

The fierce gun battle lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually subsided.

"Reporting to the two regiment commanders, more than 40 Japanese pirates just climbed along the wall into the second floor of the warehouse. Our army has killed more than 20 of them, captured five, and the rest have fled!"

Yang Ruifu ran to Xie Jinyuan breathlessly and reported the battle situation loudly.

"Good! You fought well!" Xie Jinyuan patted Yang Ruifu on the shoulder in appreciation, "Give the order to strengthen the vigilance and prevent the enemy from launching another sneak attack!"

"Yes!" Yang Ruifu took the order and left.

Jiang Shijia walked up to Jiang Shiyuan and the other two and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

"Brother, we are fine, don't worry!" Jiang Shiyuan shook his head. Looking at his brother's increasingly paler face, he felt very worried.

"I'm glad you're alright. You guys continue to rest here. We're guarding down there!"

"Okay..." The three girls nodded slightly.

Then Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan let Wei Yuqing sleep first, and they went to a relatively safe corner to continue rescuing the wounded.

The sky gradually brightens and a new day is about to begin.

However, for the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, this was destined to be another day full of blood and fire.

Before dawn, another small group of Japanese troops came to attack, but they were all bravely repelled by our army.

The enemy's intention to attack under the cover of darkness was very obvious. They wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Sihang Warehouse under the cover of darkness and catch our army off guard.

However, they underestimated the defenders' determination and will, and even more so their combat effectiveness and defensive measures.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that the Japanese army launched another attack on the Sihang Warehouse.

This time, they dispatched four or five flat-fire cannons and bombarded the west side of the warehouse fiercely.

Shells rained down around the warehouse, the explosions were deafening, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Four or five large craters and countless small craters were blown out on the west wall of the Sihang Warehouse, and it became riddled with holes in an instant.

"Hide! Hide quickly!" The soldiers looked for cover to avoid the artillery fire.

Because the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, many soldiers were unfortunately shot and fell in a pool of blood.

"Medic, come quickly! Someone is injured here!"

Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan disregarded their personal safety and shuttled through the hail of bullets.

Fang Lansheng and Lao Huang also risked their lives to help them carry away the injured soldiers.

Their bodies were covered in blood and dirt, but they still risked their lives to treat every wounded person.

"careful!"

A shell landed and exploded not far from Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan. Upon seeing this, Fang Lansheng and Lao Huang immediately risked their lives to protect the two girls under them. The scorching air wave instantly knocked them to the ground.

"How are you two feeling?"

Fang Lansheng and Lao Huang ignored the pain in their bodies and the buzzing in their ears, and quickly got up to check the injuries of the two girls.

"We're fine..." Jiang Shiyuan shook his head, feeling a little dizzy, and he and Chen Qingyan supported each other to stand up.

Then they noticed that Fang Lansheng's left arm was cut by shrapnel and bleeding.

Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan quickly took out the hemostatic bandage from the first aid kit and helped him bandage the wound.

"I'm fine, go save people..." Fang Lansheng urged, frowning and enduring the pain.

"No, your injury needs to be treated too!" Jiang Shiyuan said firmly.

"Don't worry about me, go save them, it will be too late!"

Fang Lansheng pushed the two girls away and continued to work with Lao Huang to transport and rescue the wounded.

At this moment, the Japanese machine gun post on the roof of the Bank of Communications also began to fire fiercely. Bullets poured down like raindrops, hitting the walls of the warehouse, making crackling sounds.

Our soldiers showed no fear and relied on the warehouse's defensive fortifications to fight a desperate battle with the enemy.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing intertwined together and resounded through the sky.

The two sides fought until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese pirates were once again defeated.

"Great! Our 'Eight Hundred Warriors' have once again repelled the Japanese invaders!" Jiang Shiyuan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hope.

"Hmph, these little Japs are really going too far!" Chen Qingyan cursed angrily, his eyes reddening.

"They want to trap us to death in there!" Old Huang said gritting his teeth.

Fang Lansheng didn't say anything, but just frowned and looked firmly at the still prosperous concession on the south bank of Suzhou River.

He saw more and more people gathering on the other side of the river. They were watching the battle from afar, their hearts concerned about the Chinese soldiers fighting bravely in the Sihang Warehouse.

"The Japs are here again! They're trying to launch a sneak attack again!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the bridge over Suzhou River.

I saw several Japanese motorboats approaching quickly, loaded with Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition.

"Look! Over there! The Japs want to attack from there!" A sharp-eyed young man shouted, pointing at the river bank not far away.

"Damn Japs! Don't even think about succeeding!" Angry curses suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Hurry! Tell the soldiers in the warehouse that the Japs are going to attack from over there!" a middle-aged man shouted anxiously.

"Yes! Let's inform them!"

"But...how can we get the message in?"

"Got it! We can use the big blackboard to write for them to see!"

"Good idea! Go move the blackboard!"

Soon, a huge blackboard was erected on the river bank. Several young people picked up chalk and wrote quickly on the blackboard:

"Devils! Southwest! Attack!"

After writing, they worked together to lift the blackboard high, facing the Sihang Warehouse on the opposite bank.

"Brothers! Hold on! We support you!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"The Chinese army will win!"
