Chapter 171 The Fourth Day

Just like the previous few days, on October 10, 30, the fourth day of the Sihang Defense Battle, it was still dark.

In the Sihang Warehouse, those who felt they still had some ability to act and could do something in the battle got up early.

While Hu Biao and some people were preparing breakfast, they also prepared lunch at the same time.

In addition, several time travelers such as Chen Tang and Si Yu spontaneously went to help the medical soldiers; they checked the latest conditions of the seriously injured soldiers, and changed their dressings and gave them injections.

The main goal is to deal with all matters other than combat before dawn.

Because once it gets light the Japanese will launch an attack, and they will be busy fighting and will no longer have the chance to do these things.

In this process, Chen Tang and his team received a big surprise.

Only six seriously injured soldiers died last night, and the remaining seriously injured soldiers have basically passed the critical period.

Although many of them will suffer from serious disabilities even if their injuries recover, they will have to leave the army.

But at least they can continue to survive and have the opportunity to go home and see their loved ones.

Among the seriously injured who survived, there was naturally the old veteran Hei Xing. After he woke up, not only did his fever subside, but he also drank a large bowl of barley porridge with the help of Huang Yizi.

After drinking it, my spirits improved significantly.

However, after Hu Biao and his men had arranged for the wounded, eaten breakfast, and made all preparations for the battle, they were surprised to find that the Japanese did not launch an attack today.

Could it be that yesterday's battle completely destroyed the morale and backbone of the Japanese Demon City Special Marines? Even today, they still haven't fully recovered?
Hu Biao and others are not sure whether this is true.

But it didn't matter. No matter what the reason was, they hoped the Japanese wouldn't attack today. Anyway, as long as they could hold out until 1 a.m., it would be their time to escape victoriously.

In order not to over-stimulate the Japanese, they even cancelled the program of throwing the Japanese.

"One ear, help keep an eye on it. I'll close my eyes for a while. Call me when the devils come up."

After Hu Biao shouted at Chen Tang, he lay down on the blood-stained ground and soon began to snore loudly.

Little did they know that various related events were in the final stages of fermentation; finally, at the most critical moment tonight, a wonderful drama would be staged...

******
Two hours later, somewhere in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai.

Yoshiko Kawashima, dressed as a man, wearing a black top hat and a striped suit, put down a file in her hand.

He looked out the window and muttered in disbelief, "I never thought there would be two people in this world who look so similar. They're exactly the same."

This is why this androgynous guy made such an exclamation.

All this was because in the file she had just put down, there were photos and information of two women.

One of them is Anne, the former head dancer at the Paramount Ballroom.

The other person was Annie, who had just graduated from the Qingpu special training class and was assigned to the Military Control Commission's Magic City Station. She was then deployed as a hidden agent and her apparent identity in Magic City was a socialite.

Yoshiko Kawashima picked up the photos of the two and compared them with those from a year ago.

It can be seen that the two people look exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

If it weren't for their investigation, it was confirmed that the former, Anne of the Paramount Ballroom, was seen by many reporters to be killed by a bullet.

And later on, it was buried by Hu Biao himself, so there was no possibility of substitution.

She began to doubt whether the two people above were the same person.

Of course, the fact that both women were named Annie and looked so similar was not important to Yoshiko Kawashima at all. She just sighed and let it go.

At the moment, the most important thing for her is how to get the penicillin and related technical information.

Just this morning, a high-level spy they had planted at the Military Control Commission's Modu Station finally delivered back a piece of information of astonishing value:

The penicillin that appeared on the black market before was actually sold secretly by the Sassoon family. Taman planned to test the market reaction.

The Sassoon family can only be regarded as middlemen, and the real sellers are others.

At 31:2 AM on the st, fifteen or sixteen hours later, on the top floor of the Sassoon Building, the Sassoon family would trade a shipment of penicillin injections with a mysterious seller. The Military Control Commission had already mobilized all its elite personnel from the surrounding areas, intending to launch a thief-on-thief operation.

Obtaining this batch of valuable penicillin was only one of their secondary goals.

Their real goal is to capture the mysterious seller and obtain the production technology of penicillin, which is an inexhaustible gold mine.

After thinking for about ten minutes, Yoshiko Kawashima had made a decision.

He ordered one of his men who had been standing respectfully in front of him, waiting for orders: "Go and gather our men and have them prepare for action.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."

But this time, we're going to do the opposite.

As long as we confirm that the mysterious seller has arrived at the Sassoon Building, we will act half an hour earlier at 1:; we will act first, evacuate with the goods and people, and let the Military Control Commissioners suffer.

In other words, the Empire has no way to directly confront those foreign devils. Otherwise, they would just send out a large army and destroy the Sassoon Building."

So under the arrangement of Yoshiko Kawashima, the Japanese side also began to prepare.

This means that Anne's dinner at the Sassoon Building tonight will be disrupted by some uninvited guests...

At 12:15 noon, Hu Biao, who had slept for four or five hours, was energetically eating a steamed bun for lunch.

At this time, he finally discovered that some new situations were happening among the Japanese soldiers surrounding him.

Specifically, those Japanese marines wearing black sailor combat uniforms were evacuating one by one from their positions five or six hundred meters away from the warehouse.

At the same time, some Japanese soldiers wearing shit-yellow uniforms took over their positions.

Fortunately, after taking over the position, these Japanese soldiers still did not launch an attack on the warehouse, but just monitored it from a distance.

Since the Japanese did not attack, Hu Biao and his men were happy about it.

This time he continued to be on guard while Chen Tang and others lay on the ground to catch up on their sleep.

After lying on the ground, the newbies like Chen Tang and Siyue fell asleep quickly; there was no longer the situation like three days ago where they wanted to sleep but couldn't.

Sure enough, rolling around on the field is the fastest way for a soldier to grow.

What Hu Biao and the others didn’t know was that because of the arrival of these time travelers, although the course of history had not changed, some small details had undergone slight changes.

As in the original history, the fierce battle at Sihang Warehouse has attracted the attention of Britain, France and the United States.

They sent representatives to submit petitions to the Nationalist government, demanding that the fighting at the Sihang Warehouse be stopped for "humanitarian reasons."

After repeated consideration, the bald principal believed that the strategic goal of defending the Sihang Warehouse had been achieved.

So he prepared to let Captain Xie and others evacuate, and appointed the Magic City Security Commander Yang Hu to meet with the British general to discuss how Captain Xie and others could retreat to the International Settlement.

And join forces with the 88th Division fighting in the western part of Modu.

Unlike the original history, because of the Sassoon family's connections, the British did not discuss the retreat of Captain Xie and others with the Japanese.

The plan was to have Captain Xie and his men rush into the concession at 1 a.m.

Then they went straight through the concession and evacuated in another direction.

So at this point, the Japanese had no idea that Captain Xie and the 524th Regiment were going to run away tonight.

They also wanted to capture the Sihang Warehouse and wash away the shame.

Or perhaps it was Matsui Ishige, the Japanese Army Lieutenant General, who had some dirty thoughts:
From now on, the navy idiots only need to sail properly, transport troops and supplies for their army, maintain the sea transportation lines, and not participate in land wars.

Next, I will show you, the naval millipedes, how the Sihang Warehouse, which you had been unable to capture, was taken down by the powerful army with ease.

As for why the Japanese didn't launch an attack immediately after the Ninth Division changed its defense?
It's simply because the troops intended for the attack, as well as some of their equipment, have not yet been fully assembled.

According to their plan, the real attack will be launched early tomorrow morning...
