Chapter 167 Abnormal withdrawal of troops (the third one is here today)
Over there in the foreign concession,
"Why is it that only the 88th German Arms Division safely withdrew its troops and entered the foreign concession?"
"Why don't Liu Feiyang's troops immediately withdraw their troops and come to the foreign concession? What are they doing! Why are they still fighting with the Japanese army? If they don't withdraw their troops and come here soon, I'm afraid they won't have a chance to come in later!
"
"The enemy army is getting more and more numerous and crazy!"
Standing near the 88th German Arms Division, Chen Songling continued to hold up the military telescope and watched the battles at the Sihang Warehouse and the bank opposite. Chen Songling was worried in her heart.
"Let me see if they have been restrained by the Japanese army!"
"So there is no way to withdraw troops immediately?"
Zhao Xinyi was also very anxious.
As for President He Xiangning and Chief of Staff Zhang Boting who were standing next to them, their expressions were very solemn as they stared at the increasingly fierce and fierce battle between Liu Feiyang's troops and the Japanese army.
"Look! Liu Feiyang's troops are withdrawing their troops and entering the Sihang Warehouse and the bank!"
"What are they thinking? Why don't they withdraw into the foreign concessions, but instead withdraw into the Sihang Warehouse and the bank? Are they looking for death?"
"The current army of Japanese soldiers is simply crazy. We want to annihilate them all!"
"Xinyi! What on earth do you think they are thinking!"
But soon, Chen Songling's shout suddenly came out in surprise.
Everyone's eyes were fixed, and they were also very surprised and shocked.
"Ah! This..."
Zhao Xinyi, who was shocked by such a strange evacuation situation in front of her, also had an incomprehensible expression on her face and was speechless for a moment.
...
...
"Hey! Look! What happened to those national troops? Why are they withdrawing into the Sihang Warehouse and the bank? What is the situation? Aren't they withdrawing into the concession like the 88th German Arms Division?"
"Oh my God! If they do this, aren't they throwing themselves into a trap and preparing to be surrounded and killed by the army of Japanese devils?"
"Yes! What happened to them? How could this happen? How did they withdraw the troops into the Sihang Warehouse and the bank? Could it be that they couldn't defeat the Japanese troops anymore?"
"I think that's all. Haven't you seen that the army of Japanese soldiers is getting larger and larger? It's just a huge black mass with no end in sight!"
"I'm afraid these national officers and soldiers will be in trouble this time!"
"Then what should we do now? Do we have to watch them being wiped out by the Japanese army? This would be too cruel!"
"There is no way! The Japanese have come with so many troops. I am afraid that this time the national troops who cannot withdraw and enter the foreign concession will be completely annihilated in the Sihang Warehouse and the bank!"
"Damn Japs troops, I really want to kill them all!"
"I also want to kill those Japs! But we don't have the advanced weapons and equipment to resist them! Do we, ordinary people with no strength, use kitchen knives and big knives to fight against their heavily armed troops?
Fight? Isn’t that going to death in vain?”
"Ah! This..."
...
...
While Zhao Xinyi, Chen Songling and others were worried about the uncertain life and death of Liu Feiyang's unit, there were many people watching the battle, as well as the German 88th Division, which had successfully withdrawn its troops into the foreign concession.
The people in the headquarters, foreign reporters, as well as domestic reporters, as well as the officers and soldiers of the foreign troops, were once again surprised by the strange withdrawal behavior of Liu Feiyang's troops. They exclaimed and talked a lot.
...
...
At the same time, the officers of the foreign troops were watching the withdrawal of Liu Feiyang's troops with extremely complicated expressions. Their heads were full of big question marks, and their faces were full of confusion.
"What is going on with Liu Feiyang's troops? Aren't they going to withdraw their troops into our concession with the 88th German Arms Division? We have all agreed that they can withdraw their troops now? But why do they want to withdraw their troops and enter the Fourth Concession again?
Where are the warehouses and banks?"
"Do they still want to continue fighting the Japanese army?"
"Isn't this good! Their fighting is getting more and more intense now. If I'm not careful, I'm worried that they will all spread the war to our side of the concession!"
"If such a terrible situation happens, wouldn't our concession be in chaos?"
Major Bruce, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal North Lancastershire Infantry Regiment, after witnessing the unusual withdrawal of Liu Feiyang's troops, he was stunned for a moment and then said with worry on his face.
"How do we deal with this unusual situation now?"
"Would you like to ask the senior officials at the residence of the commander-in-chief of this army or that army to see what they want to do?"
"I also don't want them to lead the war to our concession!"
"Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. Our garrison here is simply not enough for the Japanese army!"
"Although we also have support from the fleet and marines, our troop strength is really lacking!"
Chris Pratt of the 1st Denham Light Infantry Battalion was also worried.
"What do you think?"
"This way of withdrawing troops is very wrong!"
"Major George!"
Major Colin Firth, the battalion commander of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers Battalion, also looked solemn and had a very strange expression on his face, and asked Major George McKay, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Marine Regiment next to him.
"I can't understand it either!"
"Liu Feiyang's troops are committing suicide by doing this!"
Major George McKay, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Marine Regiment, also responded incomprehensibly.
"Then how do we deal with it?"
"The order from above has been issued. It is absolutely not allowed for Liu Feiyang's troops to continue to engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army, especially battles with heavy firepower!"
"The superiors are paying great attention to the fighting situation this time! Because they are worried that they will extend the fighting to our concession and cause unexpected casualties!"
"Let's immediately report this abnormal situation to the embassy and the higher-ups!"
"Because it is beyond our control. Once we don't handle it well, a worse situation will occur! I don't want to bear any unnecessary responsibility!"
Before Major Colin Firth, the commander of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers Battalion, could reply, Major George McKay, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, responded immediately and decisively.
"Yeah! I understand!"
"I will go to the embassy and the higher-ups immediately and report the situation truthfully!"
"Then just wait for their instructions and act! Major George, you are so smart!"
Major Colin Firth, commander of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers Battalion, was in a happy mood and gave a thumbs up to Major George MacKay.
"Of course!"
"This is called Mingzhe protecting himself!"
Major George MacKay showed a very natural smile and said with a smile.
Then he took out the cigar again, lit it, and started smoking slowly to control his nervousness.
Then he continued to watch the battle.
Chapter completed!
