Lei Xiong looked once more at the newly blasted gap in the north wall.

No Japanese soldiers were rushing in through the opening just yet.

He commanded, "Machine gun company, turn all your guns and fire towards the Japanese on the south side!"

His command was too long, not concise enough for the battlefield.

But the soldiers of the machine gun company understood immediately.

Lu Youde turned his machine gun again, firing at the Japanese soldiers crowded near the iron gate.

The special operations company, the first company, and the third company, these soldiers who had been bayonet fighting.

Hearing Lei Xiong's loud command, without needing any further orders.

They immediately scattered and retreated quickly.

These soldiers retreated while reloading; the guns in their hands were not real guns: not guns from the cold weapon era.

Their guns could fire. When the machine guns roared, these soldiers who had just been engaged in fierce bayonet combat joined in the firing.

Lin Fan's shout suddenly grew louder: "Everyone, lie down!

Everyone, lie down!"

Except for the soldiers engaged in bayonet fighting, all the soldiers of the 542nd Regiment on the ground floor were lying down.

The only one standing should have been Li Xian.

The soldiers' admiration for Lin Fan came from the bottom of their hearts.

Hearing his order, though they didn't know why, they all lay down.

Even the first company commander, Shangguan Zhibiao, and the acting third company commander, Tang Di, also lay down.

After they fell, they heard bullets flying overhead, and they finally understood.

The bullets fired by Lei Xiong's machine gun company could not penetrate the iron gate of the Sihang Warehouse; those bullets began to ricochet wildly throughout the space.

Ricochets!

Only the bullets that hit the Japanese soldiers, slowing their speed and power, did not bounce around.

Li Xian's reaction was obviously a beat slow; he thought Lin Fan's order was only for the soldiers engaged in bayonet fighting.

When he felt a burning sensation on his face, he realized he had been hit?

He quickly lay down.

His face felt hot and painful.

Li Xian didn't make a sound, still directing the soldiers to block the gap in the north wall.

The officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment, crawling on the ground, listened to the bullets whizzing overhead.

The entire ground floor was now a complete web of fire.

Those Japanese soldiers still crowded together became the best destination for these bullets.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Tanaka Shirou didn't panic when he heard the iron gate close; he only felt excitement.

When these defending soldiers retreated just now, he became nervous: he had a bad feeling.

At this time, he miraculously saw Lieutenant Junior Grade Hachinohe Keita; he had actually persevered until now.

But from Lieutenant Junior Grade Hachinohe Keita's face, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tanaka Shirou saw his fear.

Because at this time, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hachinohe Keita's face was snow-white, and his hands and feet were trembling.

"The time to be loyal to the Empire has arrived!" Tanaka Shirou said to the frightened Hachinohe Keita.

Pulling down, he pulled the bolt on his rifle, preparing to fight the defending machine guns.

Bullets poured down like rain.

These surrounded Japanese soldiers tried to raise their guns to fire back.

Their firepower was insignificant in the face of the prepared machine gun fire.

The machine guns roared, and in less than five minutes, there were no Japanese soldiers left standing.

Lei Xiong shouted, "Stop!"

Then he silently had all the machine gunners turn around again, continuing to prepare to block the gap in the north wall.

Now, there were no more Japanese soldiers rushing in from outside the north wall.

The third company commander immediately ordered, "Third company, go up and lay mines!"

The third company commander ordered the soldiers to lay mines at the gap in the north wall.

That location had just been blown open, the ground was a mess, and smoke and dust still filled the air.

If mines were laid, it would be difficult for the Japanese soldiers who had just rushed in from outside to avoid them.

Lin Fan also stood up at this time: "Clean up the battlefield!"

The soldiers of the special operations company immediately walked towards the piled-up Japanese corpses.

Lin Fan instructed, "Finish them off first!"

In this situation, accidents could easily happen!

After all, these Japanese soldiers were piled together; if any of them were deliberately playing dead, it would be easy in that kind of situation.

Inside the Sihang Warehouse, gunfire rang out unhurriedly. These were the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, finishing them off first according to Lin Fan's instructions, then cleaning up.

Now, explosions outside the Sihang Warehouse still rang out from time to time.

The sounds of fighting on the ground floor of the Sihang Warehouse finally stopped. The audience on the south bank of the Suzhou River anxiously awaited the results.

In fact, only an hour had passed from the time the Japanese army launched its attack until now.

Colonel Tsuchishiro Takuma did not hear the sounds of fighting inside the Sihang Warehouse just now.

Now he watched as his soldiers had all entered the smoky mist.

He only needed to sit and wait for the news of victory.

The Japanese soldiers who had rushed into the warehouse were cleared out, and the second company on the roof also reduced the frequency of throwing bombs downstairs.

The northwest wind blew whistling, battering the cloud of mist that enveloped the Sihang Warehouse.

Without the second company's continuous creation of smoke.

The heavily clouded Sihang Warehouse finally slowly revealed its original appearance again.

Just as people could see a little further.

The second company on the roof, the third company at the second-floor windows, and the first company at the third-floor windows.

Immediately discovered the Japanese soldiers gathered around the outer defenses of the Sihang Warehouse.

Deng Ying discovered that those Japanese soldiers were still gathered in the traps set up by the 542nd Regiment.

He immediately ordered, "Explosives Team One, prepare! Throw!"

Another five explosive packs were thrown downstairs.

The soldiers of the first and third companies quickly fired at the Japanese soldiers.

Similarly, the Japanese soldiers also discovered the defending soldiers behind the windows; machine guns and heavy machine guns also fired up like pouring water.

The audience on the south bank of the Suzhou River had just been able to vaguely see the outer perimeter of the Sihang Warehouse, a dense mass of heads.

Immediately, they saw explosions and fires rising into the sky in the crowd.

These people had a bold idea in their hearts:

Perhaps the Sihang Warehouse was still in the hands of the National Army!

It wasn't just ordinary people who had this idea; there were also observers in the multinational military observation group.

He Xiangning asked Zhang Boting, "Chief of Staff, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhang Boting said with certainty, "The Sihang Warehouse is still in our army's hands; the 542nd Regiment is still holding on!

The Japanese haven't been able to attack inside yet!"

Zhang Boting deliberately raised his voice when he spoke.

People within a radius of ten meters clearly heard his words.

Someone was immediately unhappy.

Koinu Junichiro sneered, "Everyone clearly saw just now that the Imperial warriors rushed into the Sihang Warehouse.

The current battle is nothing more than a trapped beast's struggle; the defending soldiers are making a final, desperate fight!"

Zhang Boting sneered, "Wait and see!"

Facts speak louder than words; there was no need to argue with this diplomat who could both speak and shoot.

The second company's explosive packs finally calmed down the frenzied Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese soldiers looked at the Japanese soldiers who had fallen around the Sihang Warehouse.

Many had piled up, layer upon layer of Japanese soldiers fallen on the ground.

There were still many Japanese soldiers groaning.

At this time, five more explosive packs were thrown down from upstairs.

After the explosions, even people dozens of meters away were injured by the blast.

They emitted painful groans.

This couldn't continue!

To enter the Sihang Warehouse, they had to blow open that door, or blow open that wall.

But now, the shooting from upstairs was incessant, and there were powerful bombs being thrown down.

It was impossible to approach!

The experienced Marine Corps quickly thought of using shields!

A team of Japanese soldiers held iron plates, blocking the bullets fired from upstairs.

Blocking the explosions of the bombs from upstairs, they slowly approached the south wall of the Sihang Warehouse.

They struggled to stop under the wall and began to work quickly.

These Japanese soldiers first dug a hole in the base of the wall to place explosives.

This was the only way to make the most effective, earth-shattering strike, blowing the wall open in one go.

When the second company commander saw the Japanese soldiers holding steel plates, braving the rain of bullets, advancing to the bottom of the Sihang Warehouse.

He finally understood the purpose of Lin Fan's demonstration before the battle, especially tying the explosive packs to sandbags.

Sandbags paired with explosive packs were for use right now.

Two strong soldiers lifted a sandbag filled with concrete blocks.

Two explosive packs were tied to it.

The detonator wires were looped around their fingers.

Watching these two soldiers throw the sandbag out, a few seconds later, a loud noise came from downstairs.

The painful groans of the Japanese soldiers echoed back.

After two sandbags with this configuration were thrown down in different locations.

The Japanese soldiers' plan to attack with iron plates was shattered.

Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino Eiji, who was in charge of the attack from the north, heard the news that the attack was being hindered from the front.

Enraged, he drew his command knife and loudly ordered, "Tank cover, continue the charge!"

The gap that had been blasted open in his direction was still there; now that a gap had been blasted open, they still couldn't charge in?

Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino Eiji prepared to have the tanks rush in through the gap to widen it.

To provide the greatest protection for the attacking soldiers.

The gap wasn't large; it couldn't accommodate three tanks rushing in at the same time.

In fact, the current gap was still too small to allow even one tank to rush in.

As a tank soldier, Naka Oji Kouki knew at a glance that his tank couldn't pass through that gap.

But if there was enough power, it was entirely possible to knock down that wall.

People usually don't turn back until they hit the south wall!

Today, Naka Oji Kouki was going to hit the north wall and not turn back.

His position was originally less than two hundred meters from the north wall; now he began to add fuel and accelerate!

Heading straight for that gap.

The soldiers on the upper floors who had been guarding this direction watched as the Japanese tank actually took the initiative to ram the wall.

They couldn't help but shout, "The Japanese are crazy! Their tank is actually ramming the wall."

On the upper-level second company, they didn't know at this time that the location the tank was rushing towards had been blasted open by the Japanese.

They just saw the Japanese tank rushing over so suddenly.

Then it rushed out of their sight; at this time, no matter how curious they were.

They didn't dare to stick their heads out to look: that wasn't scouting the enemy; that was courting death.

Lei Xiong and his machine gun company, in the lulls in the battle, had already begun to look for things to build fortifications.

Just now, they had been firing while crawling on the ground; that was a quick fix, the situation was urgent, of course, they couldn't care about anything.

Now that the situation wasn't so urgent, of course, they had to build fortifications.

Lin Fan smiled, "Lei Company Commander, how about using tanks?"

Three tanks were parked steadily near that gap.

The three heavy machine guns mounted on the tanks were fully capable of seamlessly blocking the entire gap.

Lei Xiong was still ordering the soldiers to fill in the gaps between the tanks.

He wanted the Japanese soldiers to rush into the gap, just like attacking a city in the past, rushing into the city gate, only to find that there was another barbican inside the city.

Everyone who rushed in became turtles in a jar.

Lei Xiong wanted to ask: Annoying, isn't it!

Just as he had this idea, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the gap and rushed up violently.

It slammed into the gap with a bang.

Naka Oji Kouki never expected that this wall, which had already been blasted with a gap, would be so strong.

He drove the tank at the highest speed he could manage and then rammed into the gap.

Now, the front half of the tank had rammed in a bit. But the entire tank was stuck in the gap.

Unable to move forward or backward!

Lei Xiong and the soldiers of the machine gun company didn't expect that the carefully arranged trap hadn't attracted a single Japanese soldier.

But this tank had blocked all possibilities at once.

This tank was now blocking the gap; it was impossible for people to pass through the remaining space; it would never be possible.

However, rats and flies could still come and go freely.

Lin Fan and the soldiers of the first company who were cleaning up the battlefield heard a loud noise behind them.

Turning around and seeing this situation, they were first startled.

Then they all burst out laughing.

The front half of the tank had run over the mines that the third company had just laid, and the tracks were broken.

The turret had also collapsed a little in the previous collision.

The barrel was also bent.

The Japanese soldiers inside the tank had really become turtles in a jar this time.

All that was missing was Lei Xiong going up to ask: Annoying, isn't it!

Lin Fan didn't hesitate and immediately ordered the soldiers to place explosive packs on the side of the tank.

He saw that the idler wheel of the tank was still turning, still steering.

He knew that the Japanese soldiers inside the tank were still alive.

This was certainly not the behavior of a good Japanese soldier.

Only dead Japanese soldiers were good Japanese soldiers.

After blowing up the tank, Lei Xiong's machine gun company moved their position to the top of this tank again.

The tightly blocked tank, the remaining small positions, were just right for the machine gun's firing holes and observation holes.

Naka Oji Kouki looked in horror at the National Army soldiers in front of him. When they saw him driving the tank in.

None of them had a frightened expression; at first, they were startled.

Then they burst out laughing; everyone stopped what they were doing and laughed.

The more happily those soldiers laughed, the more Naka Oji Kouki's fear value rose.

This kind of fear seemed to have no end.

However, even if Naka Oji Kouki was willing to endure this endless wait.

Lin Fan would not agree!

He only hoped that all the Japanese soldiers would return to the embrace of their Amaterasu sooner rather than later, and not wreak havoc on this land.

With a bang, Naka Oji Kouki and his entire combat team were liberated together.
