Security Command.

Command room.

Kawasaki stood in front of Dobiyuan with sweat all over his forehead, begging, "Sir, please think of a way to save my subordinates..."

Facing Kawasaki's plea, Doiyuan said in a numb and bewildered tone: "Kawasaki, please ask... where can I get reinforcements for you?"

Kawasaki was extremely anxious at this time, but Feiyuan was not much better.

After the city and the French Concession were occupied, he actually had a broken-pot mentality - it was already so bad, how much worse could it get?

He basically did not interfere with the subsequent command of the Kawasaki Corps. He just waited to wipe out Zhang Shihao's forces and then return to his homeland to have a fierce fight with those damn colleagues.

However, facts told him that he was wrong.

Bad, it can be worse!
It was so bad that the Kawasaki team was surrounded and annihilated!

Faced with this situation, the fat man, who had suffered a series of Waterloos, more Waterloos, and more Waterloos in his life in Shanghai, felt a sense of "helplessness" and thought, "I'm tired, let's just destroy myself."

"Sir," Kawasaki gritted his teeth, "Please transfer the overseas Chinese escort teams in the city and the French Concession to Hongkou to support our evacuation."

At this time, withdrawing the Overseas Chinese Guard from the urban area and the French Concession and moving to Hongkou was tantamount to abandoning the existing positions and allowing the Military Control Commission in the French Concession and the urban area to act recklessly.

Kawasaki knew that this was unreasonable, but his Kawasaki Regiment was the main force. Once the Kawasaki Regiment suffered heavy losses, how could the Overseas Chinese Guard alone stop the power of the Military Control Commission before the main reinforcements entered Shanghai?
He thought that Doi-Yuan would let the Kawasaki United persevere, but unexpectedly Doi-Yuan agreed easily:

"Well, you give the order."

Kawasaki looked at Doiyuan in astonishment, but Doiyuan had already waved his hand, indicating that Kawasaki could leave.

Kawasaki suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, bowed to express his gratitude, and quickly walked to where the staff officers gathered. He began to issue orders to the Overseas Chinese Escort Team to evacuate Hongkou on behalf of Doiyuan. Only Doiyuan was left sitting behind the table indifferently without saying a word.

Conspiracy!

How could the calculating fat man fail to see that the current situation was a complete conspiracy?

However, open conspiracy is the most unsolvable.

If the Overseas Chinese Guard was not mobilized and the Kawasaki Regiment lost its organization and was surrounded by the enemy until dawn, only three out of ten would survive. Even if the situation was better, after the Kawasaki Regiment retreated to Hongkou, the number of survivors would definitely not exceed three out of ten.

At that time, even if Zhang Shihao ignored the Overseas Chinese Escort Team and evacuated in a swagger, he could only watch and "see them off" as they evacuated Shanghai.

The Overseas Chinese Guard and Zhang Shihao's armed forces could fight each other in the concrete jungle of Shanghai, but when it came to field battles, whether it was the Loyalists or the British and American troops, they could easily crush the paramilitary Overseas Chinese Guard, so they could only watch Zhang Shihao evacuate.

Mobilizing the Overseas Chinese Guard to support the Kawasaki Regiment's breakout would inevitably allow the enemies in the French Concession and the urban area to evacuate safely. In the concession, even if the Kawasaki Regiment was successfully supported to break out, it was inevitable that the Kawasaki Regiment would suffer heavy losses. How could the Kawasaki Regiment, after suffering heavy losses, have the strength to chase Zhang Shihao's troops?

No matter what choice you make, the situation is unsolvable - Zhang Shihao will definitely evacuate successfully!
In this situation, what can the fat guy do?

It doesn't matter what you choose.

This is also the reason for his numbness.

Initially, it was thought that the fall of the French Concession, the urban area and South City would be the worst outcome. After the main force of the Kawasaki United returned to provide support, the situation could not get any worse - compared to the current outcome of the two major concessions and the urban area being "exploited" and "looted", the situation could not get any worse.

But who could have thought that in this situation, Zhang Shihao would actually turn the tables and make the situation of his side so bad that they had to watch their retreat.

"A complete failure..."

"What an unforgettable shame..."

Two grapplings successfully "painted" Tu Feiyuan's own situation.

……

Joint finger.

"District Commander, the expatriate escort teams in the French Concession and the city have evacuated. Lieutenant Colonel Zoke asks whether to pursue them."

Zhang Anping waved his hand and said, "No need to pursue. Order the French Concession and the urban areas to prepare for evacuation. Before 3 a.m., you must cross the Huangpu River and gather near Fengxian County."

"Yes." The staff officer received the order and went down to convey the order.

Just as Tu Feiyuan judged, Zhang Anping's move of "letting the wolf in" was intended to break the deadlock and evacuate Shanghai safely and successfully.

Since the expatriate guards from the urban area and the French Concession were coming to support the stupid Kawasaki Regiment, they of course ran away as soon as possible.

Hearing the order issued by Zhang Anping, everyone in the joint command sighed, and Comrade Li said:
"It's such a pity that the meat right next to his mouth flew away like this."

Zhang Anping glanced at Comrade Li and said in a slightly cold voice:
"After taking over the International Settlement, the French Concession and the urban area, killing as many enemies as possible is no longer our main goal. The key is to leave Shanghai unscathed and retreat to our area."

Comrade Li nodded and said, "I know, I just feel it's a pity."

Zhang Anping commented without hesitation: "Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."

Comrade Li was already accustomed to Zhang Anping's lack of respect and did not argue with Zhang Anping.

"District Chief," Xu Tian didn't want to see the two sides get into a fight, so he took the initiative to speak:
"Since the Japanese army has already dispatched the Overseas Chinese Guard, should we speed up our efforts?"

So far, the fighting in the concession is still in a stalemate. Although the Kawasaki United is in a situation of being surrounded, the attack is not as devastating as imagined.

Fighting at night is actually quite disadvantageous for the attacker.

But when mediocrity faces elite troops, fighting at night can often fill a large gap between the two sides.

But no matter how they try to fill the gap, the gap between the two sides is still huge, so no trapped enemy has been captured so far.

Zhang Anping cast his eyes on the map, thought for a moment, and whispered, "It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. Find the British and bring the artillery over! In addition, transfer troops from the first line of defense and concentrate our forces to first eliminate the three Japanese defense points 1, 4, and 7!"

"Yes!"

The French Concession and the urban area can be evacuated, but the International Settlement cannot be evacuated easily - if the Kawasaki Unit cannot be inflicted with a profound blow and casualties, the Kawasaki Unit will inevitably stick to it like a dog-skin plaster.

The reason why Zhang Anping created the current situation at the cost of betraying the British was to severely damage the Kawasaki United. Fortunately, there was no dog-skin plaster behind them in the early stage of the evacuation.

Therefore, a major battle was bound to take place in the French Concession.

Only a large-scale battle can show our determination and force the Japanese invaders to choose to cover the evacuation of the Kawasaki Regiment instead of throwing all the expatriate guards into the battle in the concession.

……

Before the expatriate escort team arrived, Kawasaki received information that three troops had been wiped out. Looking at the telegram of suicide sent by Lieutenant Colonel Okada, the corners of Kawasaki's mouth kept twitching.

"Kawasaki-kun," an officer from the security command came to the front command post and asked directly after meeting him:
"The expatriate guards are coming back to support us soon. We want to know how you want to fight?"

Kawasaki suppressed his anger and said, "Shirakawa-kun, what does the Security Command mean?"

Although he was controlling his emotions, Bai Chuan could still hear the anger in this question. He quickly said:

"Please don't misunderstand, Kawasaki-kun. The Security Command is worried that Kawasaki-kun will deploy all of the Security Command to the concession."

According to intelligence, the Military Control Commission forces in the French Concession and urban areas were evacuating and did not choose to entangle with the Overseas Chinese Guards - this meant that Zhang Shihao was going to run away.

According to normal logic, once the Overseas Chinese Escort Team arrives in Hongkou, they should all be deployed to the concession battlefield. Doing so will not only resolve the current predicament of the Kawasaki Regiment, but also tie down Zhang Anping's more than 10,000 troops in the International Settlement.

But, but, their opponent is called Zhang Shihao!

The Security Command was worried that Kawasaki would act according to normal logic.

With Zhang Shihao's style, once Kawasaki throws all of his overseas Chinese guards into the battle in the concession in an attempt to rescue the Kawasaki unit, Zhang Shihao will definitely throw the more than 5,000 people evacuated from the urban area and the French Concession into the concession.

Even the Security Command was worried about the so-called evacuation, just to allow Kawasaki to feel at ease and boldly deploy the expatriate guard team to the concession.

The concession is now a hell battlefield carefully built by Zhang Shihao. If the Overseas Chinese Guards are deployed to the concession battlefield, Zhang Shihao will put all his forces on it, and it will become a chaotic battle. The Security Command, which has suffered losses one after another, obviously does not have much confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Overseas Chinese Guards, and is afraid that the Overseas Chinese Guards and the Kawasaki Regiment will be wiped out.

Once these two forces were completely wiped out, there would be no Japanese armed forces in Shanghai, and Zhang Shihao would surely be able to easily control Shanghai.

Even a brief occupation was enough to become an indelible shame for the Japanese army.

How could Kawasaki, which has already suffered heavy losses, not see this possibility?
So he said, "Please rest assured, Shirakawa-kun, I am not someone who doesn't know the importance of things and I won't take risks."

Baichuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is... very good.

……

"District Commander, the Japanese overseas Chinese guard team has assembled and is expected to launch an attack on the first line of defense in a short time."

Zhang Anping looked at the time when he heard this. It was 1:14.

"Looks like it's time to collect tolls again."

Zhang Anping smiled and ordered:

“Once the Kawasaki team starts to break out, we will follow the established plan and open up gaps one by one, peeling away layers along the way.”

"Yes."

There is an idiom that goes "A trapped beast will still fight."

What this means is that even if a beast is trapped in a desperate situation, it will still resist.

This is the current situation of the Kawasaki Corps. Although it has been divided into more than a dozen parts, if they want to swallow them all, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties given the limited combat capabilities of their subordinates.

He was about to lead his men on a transfer of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers (the straight-line distance was not that long). If there were too many wounded among his men, it would seriously slow down the marching speed.

In this situation, Zhang Anping decided to defend and wait for the attack.

He first demonstrated his determination by destroying the three Japanese defense points 1, 4, and 7, forcing the Japanese to evacuate. Next, he would "collect tolls."

The Japanese army intended to break out, so they would not fight to the death. By taking advantage of their desire to break out, we would constantly reap the spoils on both sides of the breakout route. This would not only not inspire the Japanese army's determination to fight to the death, but would also give them hope, making them willing to pay the corresponding price in order to break out.

It has the same nature as "surrounding three and missing one".

He was not afraid that the Japanese would take advantage of the situation, because at this moment, he was the party with the upper hand after all. He had more than 10,000 soldiers here, and he could transfer troops from Pudong at any time. If the Japanese wanted to commit suicide and send all their troops on him, then let the Japanese taste the taste of Shanghai being liberated.

At this time, the chess game had been set up, and only the final "script" was left. Zhang Anping was about to breathe a sigh of relief when an angry roar came from outside:

"Zhang, you shameless villain, you actually betrayed the British Army!" Xu Tian stepped forward: "District Chief, it's Fei Liming, do you want me to stop him?"

Zhang Anping waved his hand: "No, let him in."

Following the order, the guards let them go, and Fei Liming appeared in the command center with a livid face.

"Zhang Shihao, you are a shameless villain!"

"I will report your shameless behavior to your [Family Planning Committee (cough cough)]!"

"I will expose your shamelessness to the whole world."

Fei Liming roared angrily as soon as he came in. If Zhang Anping wasn't young, he would even duel with Zhang Anping.

"You go out first." Zhang Anping signaled to the onlookers in the command center. After the onlookers left, Zhang Anping looked at the furious Fei Liming, his expression turned cold, and said:
"Brigadier General Fei Liming, what are you accusing me of?"

"You are shameless! You abandoned your allies... No, you are playing tricks and scheming, you are deliberately playing with the British Army!"

Fei Liming originally wanted to talk about Zhang Anping's "escape", but when the words came to his lips he remembered the current situation and had to change his words.

"Do you think I will send troops to support you if you resist?"

Zhang Anping sneered: "But what is the result?"

The result, of course, was that the British army not only did not resist, but turned around and ran away. At that time, the Japanese had not even launched an attack.

"You are quibbling. If your troops had not disappeared without a trace, how could I have ordered an evacuation?"

"Evacuate?"

Zhang Anping couldn't help laughing, then took out a photo and threw it to Fei Liming.

Fei Liming's face turned pale after seeing the photo.

The photo shows the British army raising the white flag - he knew this was the truth. At that time, he ordered his men to raise the white flag to negotiate surrender with the Japanese. However, as soon as he left the battlefield, he heard shouts of killing everywhere, and surrender of course became a thing of the past.

Although Western armies would not be ashamed of surrendering, they would definitely not be proud of it. Now that the war situation has turned around, surrendering is a stain on Fei Liming.

He came to Zhang Anping angrily. Another reason was that he had surrendered before. Faced with such humiliation, he now looked for the culprit to vent his anger.

But he never expected that Zhang Anping would have a photo of him surrendering!

Fei Liming was scared and said weakly: "What do you want?"

Zhang Anping said calmly: "What do you want?"

"Zhang, this is a misunderstanding."

"I know, it's just a misunderstanding."

"We're allies, right?"

Zhang Anping smiled: "I don't know whether we are allies or not, but I hope Mr. Fei Liming won't cause trouble for me next time."

"Zhang, you are a military genius, and I am honored to serve under you."

"Mr. Fei Liming, I'm glad you can serve me—" Zhang Anping smiled and pulled Fei Liming to the map:

"Here, here, here, your troops are surrounded by the Japanese. Mr. Fei Liming, do you know what to do?"

"Zhang, they are all the young men of my British Empire. I am willing to pay any price to save them."

"Brigadier General Fei Liming is truly a respectable gentleman - how could I disappoint a gentleman like you?"

At this moment, the two hypocritical people are like half-brothers.

The British were tricked by Zhang Anping into the battlefield again. No, it should be said that in order to save their comrades, the British ignored their own fatigue after a fierce battle and re-entered the battle, just to save their comrades who were still in dire straits.

This kind of spirit similar to Saving Private Ryan is really admirable. (Since ancient times, China has basically never done such "noble things" because in the ancient unified dynasties of China, it was basically impossible to send all the sons of others to the battlefield.)
……

The fighting continued throughout the night.

The Overseas Chinese Escort Team paid a heavy price and opened up multiple evacuation routes for the trapped Kawasaki Regiment despite the bombardment. The Japanese troops of the Kawasaki Regiment fought their way out of the siege one after another and with the support of the Overseas Chinese Escort Team, they withdrew from the battlefield amidst the constant attacks and bombardment.

The battle lasted until nine o'clock in the morning. During the nearly 11 hours of fighting, a total of more than soldiers from the Kawasaki Regiment broke out of the siege.

With the complete annihilation of the last squadron, the Kawasaki Regiment in the concession managed to break out of the siege - for this, the Overseas Chinese Guard and the Kawasaki Regiment paid the price of more than three thousand people.

If you do a careful calculation, this is actually equivalent to the Kawasaki team being completely annihilated.

In addition to the nearly half casualties, the Kawasaki Regiment also lost all of its heavy equipment, including but not limited to heavy machine guns, artillery, etc.

At this moment, Zhang Anping, faced with the huge amount of spoils, sighed reluctantly:

"It's a pity that it can't be used anymore. Let's blow it up."

The pile of captured items in front of us are mostly artillery of various calibers. In addition to the various calibers of artillery that are standard at the Japanese army's regiment level, there are also British artillery.

Zhang Anping had been hiding the British artillery until the Japanese naval fleet came over for a "stroll", then he showed them and started bombarding them all the way.

All the ammunition was used up last night.

The Japanese artillery was also captured last night.

Now they are all piled together, just waiting to be thrown into the pot.

The officers from the Zhongjiu Army couldn't bear to watch the following scene and turned their heads away. After the series of explosions, they sighed in front of the various twisted and broken gun barrels.

But the bombing must be carried out, because the only use of artillery without shells is to hinder one's own side.

Blowing up these cannons was just the beginning. Next, after the sailors said goodbye, their commanders ordered the two British and American warships to sink. As explosions sounded, the two warships sank into the Huangpu River with thick white smoke.

This was the final finishing work. With the explosion of these materials, the insurgents, who had fought a bloody battle in the concession for nearly ten days, began to cross the Huangpu River on the river boat that had been prepared long ago, under the order of Zhang Anping.

The battle for the concession ends here.

What follows is the journey home, which is not too long but is destined to be long.

But the soldiers were very confident.

The situation in the concession was not at an advantage from the very beginning. However, under the leadership of Commander Zhang, they not only almost occupied Shanghai several times, but also caused cumulative losses of over 10,000 to the Japanese army.

They believed that Commander Zhang would lead them through the Japanese blockades and return to the Kuomintang-controlled area.

……

Hongkou.

The Military Control Commission was withdrawing and the Japanese were watching.

It’s not that there were no Japanese officers who wanted to rush out and kill indiscriminately, but such ambitions could not be supported by a remnant and defeated army.

I can only watch helplessly.

Some people are watching because they are upset.

Take Kawasaki for example.

He felt very sad for sending his head off thousands of miles away.

But some people are more than just upset.

For example, the two heads of the garrison command, the commander and the chief of staff.

The battle for the concession had reached this point, and it was obvious that Higashino Taketa alone could not handle the task.

As No. 1 and No. 2 in the security command, they must be held responsible for this shame.

"I really can't accept this!"

The commander looked at the chief of staff, who had taken off his coat and was left with only a white shirt, and said with resentment:

"Obviously, the fat guy is the one who is most responsible."

The chief of staff smiled, ignored the commander's words, then inserted the dagger into his abdomen and pulled it horizontally with force.

Without a kaishakunin, the chief of staff endured the severe pain and waited for death to come.

As his consciousness gradually faded, he spoke incoherently:
“Maybe this is a mistake.”

The commander watched the chief of staff's life slowly fade away, and finally put the Nambu pistol into his mouth.

Close your eyes.

咔

Damn stuck.

The commander trembled as he reloaded the gun and held it between his teeth again.

next second.

砰

Red bloom.

The sound of gunfire was heard from far away.

After hearing the gunshot, Fatty slowly closed his eyes.

"That's it for now."

He said softly. (End of this chapter)
